During the last decades eco-friendly, low-cost, sustainable construction materials for utilization in civil engineering projects have attracted much attention. To this end, soilcretes are non-conventional construction materials produced by mixing natural soil such as natural clay or limestone sand with a hydraulic binder and are recently under detailed and in-depth investigation by many researc...

The entertainment industry is undergoing significant transformation and growth. The goal of the entertainment agency is to establish and manage the careers of individual artists. This research develops an approach to evaluate the potential of entertainment artists and construct individualized career maps. Data mining techniques are used to correlate the entertainment news on the Internet with t...

Many sedimentary rocks are formed by migration of sand ripples. Thin layers of coarse and fine sand are present in these rocks, and understanding how layers in sandstone are created has been a longstanding question. Here, we propose a mechanism for the origin of the most common layered sedimentary structures such as inverse graded climbing ripple lamination and cross-stratification patterns. Th...

This paper presents MusicWeb, a novel platform for music discovery by linking music artists within a web-based application. MusicWeb provides a browsing experience using connections that are either extra-musical or tangential to music, such as the artists’ political a liation or social influence, or intra-musical, such as the artists’ main instrument or most favoured musical key. The platform i...
