Mechanical And Durability Properties of HSC Containing Silica Fume And 100% M-Sand

This project is related on the use of Silica fume as a substitution of cement and 100% m- sand as fine aggregate. Concrete is the most widely utilized material in the construction industry and will hold good for years. The credit is attributed to the properties of concrete like excellent strength, durability and less maintenance costs. But in the recent years, the concrete industry is facing a big challenge mainly due to the cement which is a vital component. In order to improve the durability properties many types of special concretes such as High Strength Concrete, High Performance Concrete, Fibre Reinforced Concrete, Self-Compacting Concrete, etc. have been developed. High performance concrete has become an attractive option to Civil Engineers due to the special characteristics like early strength, ease of placement, permeability, mechanical and durability properties. The performance of High strength Concrete (HSC) is enhanced by the addition of admixtures which act as pozzolans as well as fillers, thereby improving the microstructure of the interfacial transition zone making it denser and impermeable. Silica Fume (SF) is a commonly used pozzolanic material owing to its high silicon dioxide content and fineness. This ultra fine property of SF used in concrete to improve its strength and durability.

Fine in the System of Punishments for Crimes against Property and Some Issues Related to the Enhancement of Its Effectiveness

The article analyzes the place and role of fines in the system of criminal penalties and looks intosome trends in its establishing by the legislator and application by the court. We investigate property protection issues that have always been in the focus of attention of legislators and legal science and that have never lost their relevance, because they relate to the inviolable vital interests of an individual, society and the state. In the framework of the topic under consideration, we undertake to explain our viewpoint on three basic terms: “fine”, “property” and “punishment effectiveness”. We conclude that property should be considered (among other things in the establishment ofthe elements of a crime) as a complex multifaceted phenomenon associated with ensuring the security of individuals, society and the state from various threats, including those of an intangible nature. We analyze fine as a penalty and fine imposed by the court as a criminal law measure in the aspect of legal regulation and application practice.We carry out comparative analysis of the rules on the protection of property and the application of penalties in the form of a fine for encroachment upon it on the example of the criminal legislation of the Republic of Belarus. As a result, we conclude that the importance of fine in the structure of penal sanctions is increasing; we note that there is a trend to increase the use of a court imposed fine as an exemption from penal sanctions. At the same time,we point out that this approach used bylegal professionals does not fully fit in with the legally established principle of social justice as the goal of punishment. Crimes against property should be considered as a threat not only to property, but also to the life and health of people (Article 162 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), moral, spiritual and other values of an individual and society. We believe this approach should be used both in legislative and law enforcement practice, including cases of applying a court imposed fine. Key words: property; fine; court imposed fine; punishment goals; punishment effectiveness.

Extreme-Modulation of Liquid Crystal Viscoelasticity via Altering Ester Bond Direction

The understanding of correlations between molecular-details and macroscopic material behaviors is a fundamental question of molecular chemistry/physics and offers practical interests in material design with fine-property-tunability. Herein, we demonstrate extreme...

Predictive S Control of AUV Based on Model of Support Vector Machine

Because of nonlinear dynamic performances and uncertain working environment, precise motion control of Automatic Underwater Vehicle (AUV) has always been a problem. For the time lag and nonlinearity of AUV, a new method called Predictive S Control (PSC) based on model of Support Vector Machine (SVM) is presented. Firstly, in establishing the model of SVM, the fine property of approaching to the nonlinear model is utilized to solve the predictive problem. Then, the control parameters of S controller are optimized by constructing the error function. At last the motion control of AUV is realized. It has been proved that this method is feasible and effective. Using this method, a good control result is obtained in the simulation.

PVDF-PAn Co-Polymer with High Permittivity Fabricated by Emulsion Polymerization

With eEmploying dichloromethane as solvent, sodium dodecanesulphonate as surface active agent, ammonium persulphate as oxidizer, PAn was introduced into PVDF and co-polymer with high relative permittivity reaching to 280 was obtained by emulsion polymerization. By detecting the structural information and electrical property through FT-IR, XRD, SEM, informations about the co-polymers were presented and in this paper. By adjusting the quantity of aniline in polymerization and the concentrations of protonic acid in the post processing, polymers with different electric properties could bewere compared and analyzed. It was The SEM images and XRD patterns showed the crystallization and microstructure information of the co-polymers in comparison. Particularly, the SEM images showed that the PVDF-PAn co-polymers had homogeneous properties in certain constitute range and as a result of emulsion, spherical PAn-PVDF media was fabricated. After robber mixing procedure at certain temperature, the PAn had a relatively average-fine dissolving in the PVDF, which overcame the difficulty of dissolving PAn oin other substrateance. This ensured the fine property for the matrix material in composites. The XRD pattern showed, wWith the increasing of the introduction quantity of PAn, the crystallization of the entire material complex had been raised greatly.

On the Defects in Injection-Moulded Technical Ceramics

A heated sprue device for ceramic injection moulding was used to research the defects in injection-moulded technical ceramics. By use of the heated sprue device, the problem of sprue solidification was resolved and the density of the injection moulding specimens was increased while the defects eliminated. The influence of the processing parameters on the defects of the injection molding specimens was investigated in detail by X-ray radiography camera and photograph. It turns that the sprue solidification time has much influence on the defects in injection-moulded technical ceramics. Reasons causing the results above were also analyzed. Based on the research, bars of 20mm in diameter without macroscopic defects and turbine blade of fine property with Si3N4/SiC(w) materials were prepared by injection moulding.

VI.—A Mural Glass Mosaic from the Imperial Roman Villa near Naples.

The mosaic was fixed in a small niche in a wall of the buildings of the Imperial Villa on Posilipo, near Naples. One part of the site, now submerged beneath the sea in consequence of a post-Roman land movement, has already been described, but later surveys of the very extensive antiquities and ruins on the hill above still await publication. Among other discoveries, we have been able to find evidence that this fine property, stated to have been left by Vedius Pollio to Augustus, was still in the imperial possession as late as the reign of Hadrian, and that considerable alterations to the buildings were made at that period.
