ECOncrete®‘s Coastalock is an ecologically designed armour unit, providing alternative and/or a complement to traditional layers with enhanced armouring that provides shoreline stabilization, while also creating well-defined local ecosystems mimic natural rock pools. The 2D physical model tests performed at TU Delft focused on the stability, reflection and overtopping of slope regularly placed ...

Current network security systems are a collection of various security components, which are directly installed in the operating system. These check the whole node for suspicious behaviour. Armouring intrusions e.g. have the ability to hide themselves from being checked. We present in this paper an alternative organisation of security systems. The node is completely virtualized with current virt...

Power tillers are very simple and versatile machines with large scale diffusion in developing countries, where they are commonly used both for agriculture and for transportation purposes. A new integrated participatory approach that makes use of and improves local end-users knowledge has been used to design a new robotic system for humanitarian demining applications in Sri Lanka, using power ti...

Shoreline armouring has progressively affected the coastal landscapes of countries all over world, and construction will increase in coming years as a consequence climate change. Armouring potential to affect environments induce changes abundance diversity marine communities, its effects might by increased wide adoption. Moreover, compared with temperate locations, have been less studied tropic...

Fighting against computer malware require a mandatory step of reverse engineering. As soon as the code has been disassemblied/decompiled (including a dynamic analysis step), there is a hope to understand what the malware actually does and to implement a detection mean. This also applies to protection of software whenever one wishes to analyze them. In this paper, we show how to amour code in su...

To characterise the coatings formed and to analyse element partitioning between the aqueous and solid phase, suspensions were prepared with four grain sizes of limestone and three different amounts of acidic solution from oxidized pyrite tailings. In all cases, red coatings with three different layers covered the grain surface, sealing off the acidic solution. The inner layer was composed mainl...

Rock armouring is an efficient and economical method of stabilising coastal structures. The hydraulic stability under wave actions graded rock armour in two or more layers has been the subject model studies, field analysis, design formulas that can estimate quantity damage on for given action. Engineering principles1 typically consider random placement, distributed graded, permeability constrai...
