There have been many attempts to understand the statistical origin of black-hole entropy. Among them, entanglement entropy and the brick wall model are strong candidates. In this paper, first, we show that the entanglement approach reduces to the brick wall model when we seek the maximal entanglement entropy. After that, the stability of the brick wall model is analyzed in a rotating background...

There is a widely accepted myth in New Zealand that the Elam School of Fine Arts in the University of Auckland is an organised anarchy, internally divided and cantankerously unbiddable, and further, that this is largely inevitable given the nature of artists and designers. Its unique culture, however, is shown in this paper to have been generated and reinforced over decades by the exigencies of...

423 Successful robotic and automated systems require a well defined, structured and controlled work environment . It is therefore clear that before automation in the construction process can be effectively implemented , uniformity and clarity of the various tasks to be automated must be introduced . The structuring of this process must be addressed in the design phase and maintained through to ...

To study the impact of brick kiln emissions on plant growth and productivity, a study was conducted on various biochemical parameters of three main vegetables Brassica oleracea L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., and Solanum melongena L. cultivated in the vicinity of the brick kiln area of the Panzan village of district Budgam (J&K). Plants in the vicinity of brick kilns are direct recipients of emissio...

This work applies established analytical techniques of physical sciences to Irish brick in order to gather evidence of ceramic technologies, provenance and sources of raw materials. Petrographic microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive Xray diffraction attachment were used to study the brick of Rathfarham Castle, Dublin, built c.1618, where cla...

Abstract Experimental studies were carried out in the molding shop. Tests for brickwork materials of enclosing walls by shock pulse method. The compressive strength grades ceramic brick fences and cement-sand mortar determined experimentally. When testing concrete, a non-destructive control method necessary devices used. concrete class was reinforced columns building, beams coating slabs coatin...

The grain elevator was erected around 1940 and is situated at the Odra River embankment. It has a rectangular plan with longer side perpendicular to former port wharf. structure of building mixed, made reinforced concrete brick masonry. entire facility founded on foundation slab. ground floor columns, supporting silos, walls floor, above silo drainage funnels, inter-story ceilings technical rou...

11 Abstract 12 13 Coating building materials with anti-graffiti treatments hinders or prevents spray paint 14 adherence by generating low energy surfaces. This paper describes the effect of coating 15 cement paste, lime mortar, granite, limestone and brick with two anti-graffiti agents (a 16 water-base fluoroalkylsiloxane, “Protectosil Antigraffiti®”, and a Zr ormosil) on the 17 dispersive comp...

A team of scientists from New Zealand and Indonesia undertook a reconnaissance mission to the South Java area affected by the tsunami of 17 July 2006. The team used GPS-based surveying equipment to measure ground profiles and inundation depths along 17 transects across affected areas near the port city of Cilacap and the resort town of Pangandaran. The purpose of the work was to acquire data fo...
