In this paper, we show that if a transitive set Λ is C-stably expansive, then Λ admits a dominated splitting.

The pavement constructions on soft and expansive soils are not durable and unable to sustain heavy traffic loading. As a result, pavement failures and settlement problems will occur very often even under light traffic loading due to cyclic and rolling effects. Geotechnical engineers have dwelled deeply into this matter, and adopt various methods to improve the engineering characteristics of sof...

We investigate striped structures of stable and unstable sets of expansive homeomorphisms and continuum-wise expansive homeomorphisms. The following theorem is proved: if f : X → X is an expansive homeomorphism of a compact metric space X with dimX > 0, then the decompositions {W (x) | x ∈ X} and {W (x) | x ∈ X} of X into stable and unstable sets of f respectively are uncountable, and moreover ...

Background: Geotechnical engineers working on the ground face a common obstacle of unsuitable soil. Expansive soil is one soils vulnerable to high loads and unstable. Properties such as permeability, low bearing capacity, compression, swelling shrinkage behavior, strength stiffness are all characteristics an expanding weaker than other types due these characteristics. Objective: T...

The soils of Indian Black Cotton are well-known examples Expansive soils, which display significant swelling and shrinkage in response to changes moisture content. distressing cyclical shrinking under fluctuations lead serious failures. Stabilization soil can be used improve it order get around this. An agricultural industrial waste called rice husk ash is created when husk, a byproduct paddy m...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare in vitro penetration and adaptation of light curing ormocer based fissure sealant and non­filled low viscosity sealant material. Materials and Methods: Extracted human molars (n = 108) were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Admira Seal and Teethmate F­1 were used as sealant materials in the study. Each tooth was sectioned using an Isomet cutter into...

The upper bounds on the coverage probabilities of the confidence regions based on blockwise empirical likelihood and non-standard expansive empirical likelihood methods for time series data are investigated via studying the probability of violating the convex hull constraint.The large sample bounds are derived on the basis of the pivotal limit of the blockwise empirical log-likelihood ratio obt...

This paper presents an approach to predicting the intrinsic self-healing in concrete using a hybrid genetic algorithm-artificial neural network (GA-ANN). A genetic algorithm was implemented in the network as a stochastic optimizing tool for the initial optimal weights and biases. This approach can assist the network in achieving a global optimum and avoid the possibility of the network getting ...
