<p>Nowadays, height of supertall buildings with height over 300 meters have been successively renewed in the world. To improve the global stability of the supertall building, mega-columns with excellent seismic, wind-resistance and axial compressive performance are recommended to be set in its perimeter. Concrete-filled double-layer steel tubular column (CFDLT column) transforming from the concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular column (CFDST column) by filling the hollow part of cross-section with concrete was proposed by the author. In this study, axial compression tests of CFDLT column, CFDST column and conventional concrete-filled steel tubular column (CFT column) specimens were carried out to investigate the axial compression behaviour of them. The experimental results showed that the CFDLT column specimen exhibits higher axial compressive strength and larger energy dissipation capacity than the CFDST column and the conventional CFT column specimens. It was found that the axial stiffness of CFDLT column degrades slower than that of the conventional CFT column right after the peak load. And, it is expected that the CFDLT column can be used as a mega-column in the tomorrow’s supertall buildings.</p>

Cracking at the fold of publication and packaging paper grades is a serious problem that can lead to rejection of product. Recent work has revealed some basic mechanisms and the influence of various parameters on the extent of crack area, but no studies are reported using coating layers with known mechanical properties, especially for double-coated systems. In this study, coating layers with different and known mechanical properties were used to characterize crack formation during folding. The coating formulations were applied on two different basis weight papers, and the coated papers were folded. The binder systems in these formulations were different combinations of a styrene-butadiene latex and mixtures of latex and starch for two different pigment volume concentrations (PVC). Both types of papers were coated with single and double layers. The folded area was scanned with a high-resolution scanner while the samples were kept at their folded angle. The scanned images were analyzed within a constant area. The crack areas were reported for different types of papers, binder system and PVC values. As PVC, starch content, and paper basis weight increased, the crack area increased. Double layer coated papers with high PVC and high starch content at the top layer had more cracks in comparison with a single layer coated paper, but when the PVC of the top layer was low, cracking area decreased. No measurable cracking was observed when the top layer was formulated with a 100% latex layer.

Information sharing has become prevalent due to the expansion of social networking in this 21st century. However, electronic devices are vulnerable to various kinds of attacks. Information might be disclosed, modified and accessed by an unauthorised third party which consequently leads to the breach of confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to employ the technology of cryptography and steganography to protect information assets. Cryptography and steganography have weaknesses when they are working alone. Therefore, crypto-steganography, the combination of cryptography and steganography are introduced to overcome the weaknesses in order to provide a double layer of security and protection. This paper provides a general overview of steganography and cryptography as well as a comparison analysis of different crypto-steganographic schemes. A secure crypto-steganographic system for healthcare is then developed with the implementation and integration of the secure crypto-steganographic scheme proposed by Juneja and Sandhu. This healthcare system enables users to store and deliver message in a more secure way while achieving the main goals of both cryptography and steganography.
