In this paper, we present a declarative language and system for describing and implementing secure networks. Our proposed language, SeNDlog, is an attempt at unifying Binder, a logic-based language for access control in distributed systems, and Network Datalog (NDlog), a database query language for declarative networks. The contributions of this paper are as follows. First, we highlight the sim...

The aim of this article is to test the properties of foundry moulding sands with a new bicomponent organic binder. The new binder is the composition of phenol-furfuryl resin, commonly used in foundry practice and biodegradable material – polycaprolactone. The paper presents the research of strength properties, thermal destruction and thermal deformation of moulding sands with a new bicomponent ...

This paper reports the substitution of polyolefin backbone binder components with low melting temperature carnauba wax for powder injection moulding applications. The effect of various binder compositions of Al₂O₃ feedstock on thermal degradation parameters is investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Within the experimental framework 29 original feedstock compositions were prepared and the s...

The presented examinations were carriedout with use of an innovative test station, the so-called microwave slot line. The meas...

Commercial application of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries is still greatly hampered by several issues, especially the shuttle effect of polysulfides. In this work, we proposed a simple but effective method to restrain the shuttle of the soluble polysulfides by adopting a novel binder of Thiokol in the sulfur cathode. Compared to the battery with conventional polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binde...

The mechanical and disintegration properties of paracetamol tablets formulated using Delonix regia seed gum (DRSG) as a binder have been studied in this work. Acacia BP (ACG) and tragacanth BP (TRG) were used as official gum standards. The mechanical properties, i.e. tensile strength (TS) and brittle fracture index (BFI), showed that with an increase in concentration of the gum binder, the tens...

High-strength concrete is a material often used in the construction of high rise buildings. In the case of unexpected fire, the building concrete elements such as columns, slab and walls will be subjected to extreme temperatures. In order to assess the performance of high-rise reinforced concrete members it is important to understand the changes in the concrete properties due to extreme tempera...
