in this paper, the effect on the strength properties of high strength concrete (hsc) manufactured with silica fume (sf) and ground pumice (gp) is investigated. portland cement was replaced with sf, gp and combination of sf and gp up to 25%. 22 different concrete mixtures with these replacement ratios were produced by using 0.25 water-binder ratio. the ultrasound pulse velocity, compressive, spl...

forests are an important economic source for human and have key role in nutrient cycle, hydrology and ecosystem performance, any interference in this vital ecosystem causes to damage to forests. mechanical logging and road construction in forest areas have led to much soil compaction. soil physical and chemical properties were studied in parts of road and non-road in the darabkola forest of ira...

A linear vortex panel method is extended to include the effect Abstract of ground proximity on the aerodynamic properties of two dimensional airfoils. The image method is used to model the ground effect . According to the results, lift coefficient of an airfoil may increase or decrease in ground effect based on a combinative effect of its camber, thickness, angle of attack and ground clearance....

The IRS-1D LISS III false colour composite (FCC) decoded imagery belonging to Kosi river watershed of Almora district of Uttaranchal under warm humid Lesser Himalayan agro-ecological region was interpreted and surveyed for soil resource mapping. On the basis of image interpretation and ground truth study ten physiographic units were identified. Soil physiography relationship was established on ...

They are important chemical intermediates whose spin state dependent chemistry is implicated in a large number of organic reactions [l-4]. An important feature relevant to an understanding of many of their physical and chemical properties is the small energy gap separating the lowest singlet and triplet states. In fact for a number of carbenes these two states are in equilibrium at room tempera...

Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) have received increased interest in recent years for their potential applications in microwave and millimeter wave communication systems. DRAs are normally used with the support of a ground plane. The radiation and impedance properties therefore depend not only on their physical dimensions and dielectric properties, but also on the size of the ground plane. ...

seismic ground motion is profoundly affected by geometrical and mechanical properties of soil deposits overlaying bedrock. local seismic ground response of saturated soil deposits was studied in literature by applying the effects of soil stress state and index properties on the strain-dependent normalized shear modulus reduction, g/g0, and damping ratio, d, curves in an equivalent linear analys...

milk and dairy products are in diet almost every day. milk fat contains 70% of saturated fatty acids which can cause an increase in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. therefor, modification of fat composition at dairy products such as yoghurt seems necessary. walnut has high amount of essential fatty acids, anti oxidants and other beneficial ...
