Environment- friendly Pavement Construction Using Plastic Trash and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement-An Overview
Abstract: Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern, with detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health. As a waste product contaminating air, water, and land, plastic poses a grave threat to the environment, perpetuating a global crisis. Its non-biodegradable nature means that once produced, plastic persists indefinitely, accumulating in landfills, water bodies, and natural habitats. This widespread accumulation of plastic waste not only compromises the aesthetic value of landscapes …

A Novel Approach to Edge Detection and Performance Measurebased on the Theory of “Range” and “Bowley’s Measure ofSkewness” in a Noisy Environment
Abstract: We proposed a new edge detection algorithm in a salt and pepper noisy environment without any pre-processing. The algorithm is a simple, unique mathematical expression. It is the product of three terms: median, range and some edge image enhancement constant. The algorithm assumes that the edge exists in an image at non-zero skewness. We also proposed a performance measure technique by using “Bowley's measure of Skewness”. The coefficient of Skewness …
