This paper studies the use of cement fly ash to stabilize graded gravel and aeolian sand instead fine aggregates in design mixture composition. Firstly, effect different cement-fly ratios on bases was investigated, then synergistic effects osmotic crystalline surface protectant (OCSP) mechanical properties water-blocking were analyzed. The results indicated that optimal water content maximum dr...

We apply Preuss' concept of $mbbe$-connectedness to the categories of lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces and of lattice-valued uniform spaces. A space is uniformly $mbbe$-connected if the only uniformly continuous mappings from the space to a space in the class $mbbe$ are the constant mappings. We develop the basic theory for $mbbe$-connected sets, including the product theorem. Furtherm...

We prove that Hilbert geometries on uniformly convex Euclidean domains with C 2-boundaries are roughly isometric to the real hyperbolic spaces of corresponding dimension.

The purpose of this note is to present two elementary, but useful, facts concerning actions on uniformly convex spaces. We demonstrate how each of them can be used in an alternative proof of the triviality of the first Lp-cohomology of higher rank simple Lie groups, proved in [1]. Let G be a locally compact group with a compact generating set K ∋ 1, and let X be a complete Busemann non-positive...

Constructive properties of uniform convexity, strict convexity, near convexity, and metric convexity in real normed linear spaces are considered. Examples show that certain classical theorems, such as the existence of points of osculation, are constructively invalid. The methods used are in accord with principles introduced by Errett Bishop.

Abstract. Mineral grains within sediment or rock absorb a radiation dose from the decay of radionuclides in host matrix. For beta component, estimated rate must be adjusted for attenuation particles mineral grains. Standard calculations, originally designed thermoluminescence dating pottery, assume that grain is embedded homogenous medium. However, most current applications trapped-charge conce...

Let $G$ be a group with identity $e$ and $R$ be a commutative $G$-graded ring with nonzero unity $1$. In this article, we introduce the concept of graded $r$-ideals. A proper graded ideal $P$ of a graded ring $R$ is said to be graded $r$-ideal if whenever $a, bin h(R)$ such that $abin P$ and $Ann(a)={0}$, then $bin P$. We study and investigate the behavior of graded $r$-ideals to introduce ...

Saltation is an important geological process and the primary source of atmospheric mineral dust aerosols. Unfortunately, no studies to date have been able to precisely reproduce the saltation process because of the simplified theoretical models used. For example, sand particles in most of the existing wind sand movement models are considered to be spherical, the effects of the sand shape on the...

Coarse aggregates gradings have varying effects on the properties of concrete. sizes 10mm, 20mm and 25mm were used for this study. Sieve analysis was conducted these aggregates. Their coefficients curvature (Cc) ranged between 1.01 1.19, while uniformity (Cu) 1.24 1.73, showing that they are all uniformly graded. 10mm coarse mixed in various proportions to produce five different concrete mixes ...
