The poor abrasion resistance of recycled aggregate pervious concrete (RAPC) limits its application. Granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and copper (CS) were used as mineral admixtures to replace cement in RAPC for improving the resistance. At 10% GBFS replacement level, 5% 25% CS was added respectively, which reduced consumption cement. effects on paste fluidity, porosity, permeability, compre...

Smart grids rely on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems to monitor control complex electrical networks in order provide reliable energy homes industries. However, the increased inter-connectivity remote accessibility of expose them cyber attacks. As a consequence, developing effective security mechanisms is priority protect network from internal external We propose an integ...

In this study, a multi-technique approach was utilised to determine the high temperature performance of magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) blended with fly ash (FA) or ground granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) respect nuclear waste immobilisation applications. Conceptual fire conditions were employed (up 1200 °C, 30 min) simulate scenarios that could occur during interim storage, tra...

The high peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) is a major problem in multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) system. In this letter, we have proposed new optimal Z-complementary code set (ZCCS) using higher-order (? 2) generalized Boolean functions (GBFs). ZCCS has maximum column sequence PMEPR of 2 and it achieves the theoretical upper bound optimality.

Fingerprint patterns are full of ridges and valleys and these structures provide essential information for matching, recognition, and classi"cation. Conventionally, most researchers use minutiae, a group of ridge endings and bifurcations, as the features of "ngerprint patterns [1]. Unfortunately, the minutia-based approach contains many time-consumption steps and relies heavily on the quality o...

This paper aims to construct optimal Z-complementary code set (ZCCS) with non-power-of-two (NPT) lengths enable interference-free multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems. The existing ZCCSs NPT lengths, which are constructed from generalized Boolean functions (GBFs), sub-optimal only respect the size upper bound. For first time in literature, we advocate use of pseudo-Boole...

The performance of a cold-bonding pelletization process was investigated for lightweight aggregates (LWAs) production from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly-ash (FA), by including multiple materials in the aggregate mixture. Before pelletization, FA pre-treated washing with water, which led to reduction chloride (66.79%) and sulphate (25.30%) content. This further confirmed XRF XRD ...

Alkali-activated products composed of industrial waste materials have shown promising environmentally friendly features with appropriate strength and durability. This study explores the mechanical properties structural morphology ternary blended alkali-activated mortars materials, including fly ash (FA), palm oil (POFA), ceramic powder (WCP), granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS). The effect on ...
