The aim was to determine the mechanical resistance and thermal conductivity of adobe bricks in extreme minimum weather conditions, which serve two physical functions: greater compression strength lower for construction rural housing walls Peruvian highlands. study experimental, where soil texture class determined using Bouyoucos hydrometer. An experiment designed with 58 different composition p...

Abstract Brick plays an important role in the construction industry due their excellent properties like compressive strength and durability. From earliest times they were considered factor purpose of building. Considering different types bricks, fly bricks are best recent because resource intensive cost effective. This article provides up-to-date review current studies categorizing these public...

This paper presents a novel background model for video surveillance—Spatio-Temporal Patch based Background Modeling (STPBM). We use spatio-temporal patches, called bricks, to characterize both the appearance and motion information. Our method is based on the observation that all the background bricks at a given location under all possible lighting conditions lie in a low dimensional background ...

We report a small advance on a question raised by Robertson, Schweitzer, andWagon in [RSW02]. They constructed a genus-13 polyhedron built from bricks without corners, and asked whether every genus-0 such polyhedron must have a corner. A brick is a parallelopiped, and a corner is a brick of degree three or less in the brick graph. We describe a genus-3 polyhedron built from bricks with no corne...

Conventional water treatment plant generates two types of process wastes, filter back wash water and sludge. Characteristic studies of these wastes reveals that it contains high solids content, metals and bacteriological concentration, which are generally more than permissible disposable standards. Direct disposal of these wastes in to natural stream pollutes the receiving streams, affects huma...
