Comparative Study on Stabilization of Expansive Soil using Cement Kiln Dust and Ceramic Dust
Abstract: In India, expansive soils cover about 20% of total land area, these soils increase in volume (swell) during winter season and decrease in volume (shrink) during summer season. Due to this contradiction behaviour many civil engineering structures constructed on expansive soils get damaged severely, out of which pavement is the most because they are lightweight and extend over large areas. Stabilization of Expansive soil is of most importance, since to …

An approach to adding knowledge constraints to a data-driven generative model for Carnatic rhythm sequence
Abstract: Computational models for generative music have been a recent trend in AI based technology developments. However, an entirely data-driven strategy often falls short of capturing the naturally occurring rhythmic grouping. Guedes et al. [1,2] had proposed dictionary based and stroke-grouping based approaches to generate novel sequences in the 8-beat cycle of Aditala. More recently an attempt of incorporating arithmetic partitioning, as conceived by performers, was made [3] to get rid …

Unification and DC Conductivity of PDMS/NiNPs Nanocomposite
Abstract: The DC conductivity of nickel nanoparticles–polydimethylsiloxane (NiNPs–PDMS) composite materials has attracted considerable attention due to their promising applications in flexible electronics, sensors, and energy storage devices. The electrical performance of these composites is largely governed by the formation of conductive networks within the insulating polymer matrix. Incorporating nickel nanoparticles into PDMS introduces conductive pathways that significantly enhance DC conductivity once a critical percolation threshold is reached.Several key factors influence the …
