In this research, the effect of the cement, sand, and pumice mixture on the durability of lightweight concrete is investigated. The intention of this paper is to replace a certain amount of the pumice percentage as an alternative option of the cement and pumice sand aggregate with conventional sand components. The experimental results include compressive strength, ion-chloride emission factor (...

Automatic lane tracking involves estimating the underlying signal from a sequence of noisy signal observations. Many models and methods have been proposed for lane tracking, and dynamic targets tracking in general. The Kalman Filter is a widely used method that works well on linear Gaussian models. But this paper shows that Kalman Filter is not suitable for lane tracking, because its Gaussian o...

For years, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations has produced information filtering applications. To be operational, these applications require high filtering performances which are achieved by using rule-based filters. With this technique, an administrator has to tune a set of rules for each topic. However, filters become obsolescent over time. The decrease of their performances is due to diachro...

4′,5,7-Trihydroxy-3′-prenylflavanone was synthesized and tested for antibacterial effects against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The synthesized compounds were characterized using UV, IR, MS and 1H and 13C NMR data. The antibacterial screening of the synthesized compounds were performed in vitro by the filter paper disc diffusion method.

Users of motorized vehicles in the city Pontianak are growing rapidly. For some people who very busy washing motorbikes is a tiring thing and usually, take their to car wash. During this time, motorcycle providers directly dispose waste into environment, which causes pollution environmental damage. The technology used treatment system based on natural materials (biofilter). method activity an e...

A longitudinal study aimed to detect Listeria monocytogenes on a New York State dairy farm was conducted between February 2004 and July 2007. Fecal samples were collected every 6 months from all lactating cows. Approximately 20 environmental samples were obtained every 3 months. Bulk tank milk samples and in-line milk filter samples were obtained weekly. Samples from milking equipment and the m...

background: hemodialysis is a process of removing waste and excess fluid from blood when kidneys cannot function efficiently. it often involves diverting blood to the filter of the dialysis machin to be cleared of toxic substances. fouling of pores in dialysis membrane caused by adhesion of plasma protein and other toxins will reduce the efficacy of the filtre. objective: in this study, the inf...

An experimental technique for the creation of any statically stable density profile is presented. This technique is essentially a generalized, unsteady version of the ‘‘twotank’’ method that is well known to the stratified flow community. It involves specifying the desired density profile and then solving an inverse problem in order to determine the necessary flow rates of light and dense fluid...
