Heterogeneous Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Network using Enhanced Energy Detection and Matched Filter
Abstract: AbstractOne of the most predominant aspect in cognitive radio networks is spectrum sensing which allows a secondary user (unlicensed user) to detect the presence or absence of a primary user (licensed user). A number of sensing techniques have been proposed in the past. In order to achieve a high spectrum efficiency, the compatibility of the common spectrum detection techniques primarily used such as energy detection and matched filter are employed …

Red Earth Development of a Soil-Based Composite Using Bagasse Ash and Lime: Effects on Plasticity and Compaction Characteristics of Red Earth
Abstract: The concept of sustainable soil composites (SSC) emerges through blending red earth with bagasse ash (BA) and hydrated lime to enhance geotechnical properties and enable productive reuse of agro-industrial waste. Red earth functions as the matrix, BA acts as a fine pozzolanic microfiller, and lime serves as the chemical binder. BA content ranges from 0% to 60%, with 10% identified as optimal; subsequent lime additions from 1% to 5% evaluate …

Use of Additives in Soil Stabilization
Abstract: Soil stabilization is a ground improvement technique through which soil is made strong enough to bear the structures load. The swell-shrink properties of expansive soils can be reduced and made useful for construction purposes using various stabilizing materials like cement, lime, fly ash, chemicals, etc. Cement stabilization causes environmental pollution. Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation and enzymatic-induced carbonate precipitation methods can be considered as innovative methods in place of cement soil stabilization. …

Indigenous Technique of Biochar Production and Effect of Biochar Application on the Geotechnical Properties of the Expansive Soils
Abstract: Expansive soils have been a source of risk to human beings as they causes huge economic loss including damage to buildings, roads and other civil infrastructures because of their low compressive strength and excessive settlement characteristics. One of the available options is to replace such soils before starting any civil engineering construction but looking to huge costs involved in replacement; it is generally not practiced nowadays. Another viable alternative is …
