Received Apr 3, 2012 Revised May 19, 2012 Accepted June 4, 2012 The research assessed and examined the mechanical properties of the Soil Cement Interlocking brick (SCI) to provide the information for the possible and appropriate development and revision of the (SCI) brick due to the substantial benefits which can be obtained by improving these sorts of bricks .Therefore, drastic efforts and acc...

Although it has been widely discussed in video surveillance, background subtraction is still an open problem in the context of complex scenarios, e.g., dynamic backgrounds, illumination variations, and indistinctive foreground objects. To address these challenges, we propose a simple yet effective background subtraction method that learns and maintains dynamic texture models within spatio-tempo...

A brick is a 3-connected graph such that the graph obtained from it by deleting any two distinct vertices has a perfect matching. Bricks are building blocks of the matching decomposition procedure of Kotzig, Lovasz and Plummer, and therefore many matching-related problems can be reduced to bricks. We prove, roughly, that every brick other than the Petersen graph can be generated from a “matchin...

Earth bricks are a traditional eco-friendly construction material. In this study, harbor-dredged sediments were used along with hemp shiv to develop brick manufacturing procedure and compaction techniques produce durable earth for the valorization of waste dredged sediments. Prismatic specimens size 4 × 16 cm3 manufactured Dunkirk after analyzing their suitability according French standard flex...

Abstract The practice-led research focuses on how agro-waste can be used to build a structure, gather relevant knowledge, and identify its various challenges. Based the compressive strength of Bio-Bricks, it was decided use frame instead using Bio-Bricks as modular unit, material cast in situ with help specially designed mould. roofing structure also built over an MS frame. prototype plastered ...

The population increases demand for plastic in every sector along with single-use rapidly increasing, but it still has a low recycling rate. use of the form brick is challenging and overall better impact on ecosystem, economy, industrial revolution. In this paper, study been done available research work bricks from different waste materials. It discusses processes used to make materials, possib...

Soft, 3D elastomeric structures and composite structures are easy to fabricate using click-e-bricks, and the internal architecture of these structures together with the capabilities built into the bricks themselves provide mechanical, optical, electrical, and fluidic functions.

The present study involved assessing the replacement of fine aggregate in mortar with sustainable local materials like clay bricks and glass included 168 specimens (cubes prisms). Seven mixtures were cast for this work, one control mix (R1) 100% natural sand whereas mixes from R2 to R5 have 10% 20% replacing waste separately respectively. Mix R6 was combination (10% glass). R7 has same percent ...

Small scale co-composting of faecal matter from dry toilet systems with shredded plant material and food waste was investigated in respect to heat development and deactivation of faecal indicators under tropical semiarid conditions. Open (uncovered) co-composting of faecal matter with shredded plant material alone did not generate temperatures high enough (<55 degrees C) to reduce the indicator...

Companies and government ministries alike have been rapidly shifting from the brick-andmortar to the brick-and-click business model following the tremendous improvements in telecommunications infrastructure, coupled with the ever increasing competitiveness and global influences in local industries. Security unquestionably plays a pivotal role in any online presence. Websites that are built and ...
