different additives have been considered to improve stabilization of the engineering properties of fine-grained soil. the present study investigated the effect of the addition of sewage sludge ash on the compressive strength of clay soil at optimum moisture content and under saturated conditions. the four treatments tested were the addition of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% sewage sludge ash to clayey soi...

Methods of preparing test specimens in laboratories are particularly important. It also holds true in terms of compaction procedure in predicting pavement performance. The currently available laboratory compactor cannot adequately replicate field compaction conditions, especially the Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixture. The essential element of SMA mixture comprises of stones that are placed nex...

abstract different factors such as the quality of ova and sperm are involved in propagation process. mobility percentage, ph, mobility duration, compaction and osmolarity of sperm which affect the quality of sperm were tested in this research. this study was carried out in april 2011 in shahid ansari bony fishes propagation and rearing center. according to the results, mean and standard deviati...

Test pattern storage is an important problem aaect-ing all Design for Testability (DfT) techniques based on scan-path. Test compaction is the key idea to reduce this problem, but in case of partial-scan test compaction would concern the concatenation and overlapping of test sequences instead of test vectors. Unfortunately, standard sequential TPGs do not show suucient capabilities in test seque...

Incorporation of crop residues into the soil can reduce its susceptibility to compaction. However, the signi®cance of incorporated crop residue at different soil water contents at the time of compaction and the compaction loads is not well documented. The compactibility of three soils which contained different amounts of sugarcane residue was investigated at different water contents and compact...

The ability to improve the yield of integrated circuits through layout modi cation has been r ecognize d and several techniques for yield enhanced routing and compaction have been developed. Yield improvement during routing is however, limited by the predetermined placement. It is conc eivable ther efor e, that di er ent placements of the modules (e.g., standard or custom cells) may lead to ver...

Analysis of reduced Proctor test and standard results collected from literature indicates that it is possible to replace with due the advantages requires 40% less compaction energy, no modifications apparatus unlike other small tests, soil particle size requirements remain same as those for test. Correlations were also developed characteristics obtained by modified in order estimate at energy l...

Stream compaction is an important parallel computing primitive that produces a reduced (compacted) output stream consisting of only valid elements from an input stream containing both invalid and valid elements. Computing on this compacted stream rather than the mixed input stream leads to improvements in performance, load balancing, and memory footprint. Stream compaction has numerous applicat...
