Enhancing the Strength of Black Cotton Soil with Enzyme and Industrial Waste
Abstract: Expansive soils are troublesome and prone to ground movements, which can cause substantial damage to underlying buildings as well as a loss in bearing capacity. Moisture fluctuation activates the expansive character of soils, causing it to swell and shrink. This has long been known in geotechnical engineering. To treat expansive soils, a variety of stabilizing additives such as lime, cement, and fly ash have been employed. In recent years the …

Influence of Dielectric and Active layer Thickness on MgZnO Thin Film Transistor Electrical Characteristics
Abstract: From last decades, Thin Film Transistors Technology uses low-k dielectric material as an insulator. Insulator thickness plays an important role in device dimension. The insulating layer also known as the gate oxide separates the gate electrode from the channel region of the transistor. If the insulating layer is too thin, there is a greater chance that electrons can tunnel through the oxide layer, leading to leakage current. To mitigate this …

Design and Simulation of Low-power, High-speed Effective Area Mux Based One-bit Full Adder Using CMOS Technology
Abstract: Our findings reveal a novel kind of circuit capable of performing both XOR and XNOR operations in parallel. Power dissipation and delay are both greatly reduced in the proposed circuits due to their low output capacitance as well as minimal short-circuit power dissipation. We show six new hybrid 1-bit full-adder (FA) circuits that take use of the XOR-XNOR or XOR/XNOR gates' special full-swing function. Each potential circuit layout has both …

Analysis for Pier of Railway Bridge
Abstract: The load-bearing capacity of a pier is determined by the combined effects of the load from the train and the self-weight of the girder it supports. The bending of the pier is influenced by its height, which necessitates a careful assessment of the pier's thickness across various girder spans and pier heights. This evaluation ensures that the pier can withstand the imposed loads while adhering to permissible deflection limits. By …
