Production and characterization of glazed tiles containing incinerated sewage sludge.

In this article, glaze with different colorants was applied to tile specimens manufactured by incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) and clay. Improvements using different amounts of colorants, and glaze components and concentrations on tile bodies were investigated. Four different proportions of clay (by weight ratio) were replaced by ISSA. Tiles of size 12 cm x 6 cm x 1 cm were made and left in...

Geometry of Self{affine Tiles Ii

We continue the study in part I of geometric properties of self similar and self a ne tiles We give some experimental results from implementing the algorithm in part I for computing the dimension of the boundary of a self similar tile and we describe some conjectures that result We prove that the dimension of the boundary may assume values arbitrarily close to the dimension of the tile We give ...
