Vulnerability Reduction through Appropriate Building Designs in Kashmir
Abstract: AbstractInfrastructure development and construction of accommodation (residential and nonresidential) with masonry is the oldest and most common technique used throughout the world. Same is followed in the South East Asian countries including Pakistan. Unreinforced masonry (without use of steel for tensile loadings) can withstand gravity loads well because it has good compressive strength but very low or negligible tensile strength. The tensile strength of a joint made with mortar can …

Array-Linked Data Structure: Introducing a Hybrid Model of Memory Management and Faster and Easier Insertion and Reallocation Procedures
Abstract: Here, I have introduced a new data structure titled “Array-Linked Data Structure”. It incorporates a hybrid model of memory allocation, introducing a new insertion procedure in an existing data structure which is faster than that for arrays. It also offers O(c) access time where c is a constant. The access time is worse than O(1) for an array but still better than that for a linked list since the index …

Reconfigurable AES Based AEAD For Multi-Mode Operation with Lightweight Compatibility
Abstract: The proposal is for a lightweight, multi-mode, reconfigurable authenticated encryption system with associated data (AEADs) based on AES. It is challenging to effectively integrate different AEADs in hardware because each one has its own mode of operation and/or subfunctions, even though some major AEADs share several basic components (such as the XOR-Encryption-XOR (XEX) scheme, block chaining, and advanced encryption standard (AES). This paper proposes hardware that effectively combines the basic …

Evaluating Delay Impacts: From Root Cause Analysis to Dispute Resolution
Abstract: Construction projects inherently involve complex coordination among multiple stakeholders, interdependent tasks, and unpredictable external challenges, which frequently cause schedule overruns and disputes. Traditional contractual mechanisms—such as extensions of time (EoT), liquidated damages, and force majeure clauses—serve to define responsibilities, allocate risk, and establish formal dispute pathways when delays arise. For example, EoT provisions protect contractors from penalties when delays are beyond their control, provided proper notice and evidence are submitted …

Reducing Cell Density Congestion Issue in Chip Design
Abstract: AbstractThe congestion issues reduce with the help of shrinking process technologies. Here, typical placement objectives involve reducing cell density congestion in a chip design. Congestion reducing is the least understand; however, it models route ability most accurately. The congestion issue is cell density (commonly believed to be very effective) does not always work well, so here by applying the partial block technique for the cell density is among the best …

Experimental Investigation of Effect of Soil Structure Interaction on Buildings
Abstract: In the conventional analysis and design, buildings are generally considered to be fixed at their bases, but in actual practice, the support condition depends on the type of soil on which it is founded. The flexibility of the soil medium allows the movement of soil and foundation, which decreases in the overall stiffness of building frames and results in a subsequent increase in natural periods of the system. Thus, the …
