Concrete Interlocking Paving Blocks Compression Strength Determination Using Non-destructive Methods

In this paper, the non-destructive testing methods are analyzed in view of their usability in evalulation of the interlocking paving blocks’ compressive strength. Ultrasonic pulse method and impact method (Schmidt impact hammers) were chosen for testing. Testing methodology and way of the results processing considering requests of the national and European standards are described there. In addi...

This document describes the capabilities and operations of Scotch and libScotch, a software package and a software library devoted to static mapping, partitioning, and sparse matrix block ordering of graphs and meshes/hypergraphs. It gives brief descriptions of the algorithms, details the input/output formats, instructions for use, installation procedures, and provides a number of examples. Sco...

IPB: An Internet Protocol Benchmark using Simulated Traffic

A common shortcoming of many network measurement programs is that their metrics are not expressed in terms directly applicable to applications and users. To address this problem, we have developed the IP Benchmark (IPB), a benchmark program that synthetically generates traffic to simulate the network activity of common Internet applications. It measures the performance experienced by the simula...
