The development of predicting models is necessary for an easier and more accurate design mix self-compacting concrete. Due to the difficulty test requirements this type concrete, a model useful can be used derive optimum mix. Different mixtures with varying cement, water, superplasticizer content were created using central composite design. A full quadratic was chosen all dependent variables co...

— The microstructure identification problem is treated : given certain phases in given volume fractions, how to mix them in aperiodic cell so that the effective material constants of the periodic composite lie the closest possible to certain prescribed values ? The problem is studied for the linear conduction équation. It is stated in terms of optimal con trol theory ; the admissible micro geom...

A novel methodology for intelligent music production has been developed using evolutionary computation. Mixes are generated by exploration of a “mix-space”, which consists of a series of inter-channel volume ratios, allowing efficient generation of random mixes. An interactive genetic algorithm was used, allowing the user to rate mixes and guide the system towards their ideal mix. Currently, fi...

In the present investigation, study of water permeability of concrete was carried out..The strength of concrete is depend on its mix proportions. we used high strength concrete which have its compressive strength is above 50 MPa.in order to measure co-efficient of permeability as per IS:3085-1965,the cylinder with height to diameter ratio equal to one were cast and subjected to a constant press...

A system for metabolic activation of cyclophosphamide (CP), consisting of a crude microsomal fraction of mouse liver and necessary cofactors (S9 mix), was interfaced with three murine cell culture assays for immunotoxicity. These assays were: the Mishell-Dutton assay for in vitro antibody formation, splenic lymphocyte responsiveness to mitogens and bone marrow cell cultures. There was no effect...

Many electronic parts have life cycles that are shorter than the life cycle of the product they are in. Life cycle mismatches caused by the obsolescence of electronic parts can result in significantly sustainment costs for long life systems. In particular, avionics often encounters part obsolescence problems before being fielded and nearly always experience part obsolescence problems during the...

The feasibility of using large rubber chunks from shredded tires as aggregates in coldmixes for road construction was investigated in this study. The research was directed toward development of a chunk rubber asphalt concrete mix design for low volume road construction using local aggregate, shredded tire rubber chunks and a cationic emulsion. A set of mixes using different combinations of chun...
