Strengthening of the existing structures is an important task that civil engineers continuously face. Compression members, especially columns, being the most important members of any structure, are the most important members to strengthen if the need ever arise. The method of strengthening compression members by direct wrapping by Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) was adopted in this research. Since the concrete material is a heterogeneous and complex in behavior, thus, the behavior of the confined compression members subjected to uniaxial stress is investigated by finite element (FE) models created using Abaqus CAE 2017 software. The aim of this research is to study experimentally and numerically, the behavior of square plain (without steel reinforcement) concrete compression members, that has concrete strength of = 24.41 MPa, confined with one layer of CFRP wraps under uniaxial compressive loading. Finally, the outcomes are compared with the finite element models using Abaqus software. Laboratory experimental results showed that confining compression members with CFRP wraps is an efficient strengthening method. In terms of load carrying capacity, an enhancement was measured for about 56.1% of the reference non-confined members. This enhancement was also reached using Abaqus software.
As smartphones incorporate location data, there is a growing concern about location privacy as smartphone technologies advance. Using a remote server, the mobile applications are able to capture the current location coordinates at any time and store them. The client awards authorization to an outsider. The outsider can gain admittance to area information on the worker by JSON Web Token (JWT). Protection is giving cover to clients, access control, and secure information stockpiling. Encryption guarantees the security of the location area on the remote server using the Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) algorithm. This paper introduced two utilizations of cell phones (tokens, and location). The principal application can give area inf

Modeling traffic helps find strategies for distributing network loads, identifying user behaviors and malicious traffic, and predicting future trends. Many statistical and intelligent methods have been studied to predict web traffic using time series of network traffic. In this paper, the use of machine learning algorithms to model Wikipedia traffic using Google's time series dataset is studied. Two data sets were used for time series, data generalization, building a set of machine learning models (XGboost, Logistic Regression, Linear Regression, and Random Forest), and comparing the performance of the models using (SMAPE) and
... Show MoreSpeech is the essential way to interact between humans or between human and machine. However, it is always contaminated with different types of environment noise. Therefore, speech enhancement algorithms (SEA) have appeared as a significant approach in speech processing filed to suppress background noise and return back the original speech signal. In this paper, a new efficient two-stage SEA with low distortion is proposed based on minimum mean square error sense. The estimation of clean signal is performed by taking the advantages of Laplacian speech and noise modeling based on orthogonal transform (Discrete Krawtchouk-Tchebichef transform) coefficients distribution. The Discrete Kra
R. Vasuki [1] proved fixed point theorems for expansive mappings in Menger spaces. R. Gujetiya and et al [2] presented an extension of the main result of Vasuki, for four expansive mappings in Menger space. In this article, an important lemma is given to prove that the iteration sequence is Cauchy under suitable condition in Menger probabilistic G-metric space (shortly, MPGM-space). And then, used to obtain three common fixed point theorems for expansive type mappings.
Abstract: To study the effect of nickel chloride on bone composition of mice, a number of biophysical and biochemical parameters have been made use. The animals were divided into control and experimental and further subdivided into three groups I, II and III according to the dose of nickel chloride (NiCl2) administered to them i.e. 5.8, 12.8 and 28.2 mg/kg body weight, respectively. Femur bones were obtained by sacrificing the animals three weeks after weaning them once a week. The percentage loss between the wet weight and dry weight of femur in control animals was found to be 32.5+1.5 .In the three experimental groups I,II and III, the percentage loss was 30.4+1.4, 35.3+2.3 and 38.9+2.2 respectively. The percentage loss between the wet we

Feature selection represents one of the critical processes in machine learning (ML). The fundamental aim of the problem of feature selection is to maintain performance accuracy while reducing the dimension of feature selection. Different approaches were created for classifying the datasets. In a range of optimization problems, swarming techniques produced better outcomes. At the same time, hybrid algorithms have gotten a lot of attention recently when it comes to solving optimization problems. As a result, this study provides a thorough assessment of the literature on feature selection problems using hybrid swarm algorithms that have been developed over time (2018-2021). Lastly, when compared with current feature selection procedu

The revolution of multimedia has been a driving force behind fast and secured data transmission techniques. The security of image information from unapproved access is imperative. Encryptions technique is used to transfer data, where each kind of data has its own special elements; thus various methods should to be used to conserve distributing the image. This paper produces image encryption improvements based on proposed an approach to generate efficient intelligent session (mask keys) based on investigates from the combination between robust feature for ECC algebra and construction level in Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) to produce durable symmetric session mask keys consist of ECC points.
