The development of transportation plays an important role in the development of nation. With flexible pavements being widely used in India, steps must be taken to increase the life of the bituminous pavements. Flexible pavements are often plagued with problems of cracking and rutting due to repeated traffic loads. Hence one needs to address these problems in order to improve the performance of ...

Making use of concrete materials in cut-off walls, because of their low permeability and standing high Hydraulic Gradient caused by underground drainage, has attracted great amount of attention. Using ordinary concrete with high elasticity modulus, compared to other materials may accompany with problems including brittleness of cutoffs due to dynamic stresses. To solve this problem, adding a ce...

In his book [I 1, Marshall Hall gives a table of balanced incomplete block designs with from 3 to 15 replications. It is mentioned there that a solution is unknown as to whether or not there exists a symmetric block design with parameters (v, k, h) = (36, 15, 6) (number 104 in the table). It is the purpose of this paper to show that such a design can in fact be constructed quite simply and to s...

Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution has been studied by Salah, et al. [11,12]. In this paper, we consider the analysis of the hybrid censored data when the life time distribution of the individuals item is a two-parameter Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution. We study the estimations of the shape (α) and scale (λ ) parameters of Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution based on Type-II hy...

A T-shaped micromixer featuring electroosmotic flow with heterogeneous charged surface patches on the channel walls was analyzed, and an improved design was proposed to enhance mixing performance. Numerical analysis was performed using steady Navier-Stokes equations with an additional electrokinetic body force. The numerical results for species concentration were validated with available experi...

Scale-up of mixing operations continues to present a concern to the pharmaceutical development process. There liable scaling of a process requires an understanding of the effects that processing parameters may illicit on intermediateand finished-product properties. V-blenders, tote blenders, and double-cone blenders are examples of batch blenders that vary in geometric design .For these systems...

In this paper, we propse Bayes estimators of the parameters of Marshall Olkin extended exponential distribution (MOEED) introduced by Marshall-Olkin [2] for complete sample under squared error loss function (SELF). We have used different approximation techniques to obtain the Bayes estimate of the parameters. A Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of proposed e...
