Corrosion inhibitors of steel to stainless
Abstract: Concrete reinforced with steel and rebars is affected by surface corrosion of steels in being embedded state. Corrosion of chloride and carbureted moisture in embedded steels reduce life of concrete of high ways. Use of steel in corroded and un-corroded state shows more life in case of reinforcements in un-corroded state at laboratory scale. Flexural strength is more effective characteristics to determine state of concrete within lifeline period. Quality of …

Design and Development of Experimental Test Rig for Fatigue Life Estimation of Freewheel One-Way Clutch Used in Switchgear Applications at High Overrunning Speeds
Abstract: Freewheel one-way clutch (OWC) is a critical component used in industrial circuit breakers/switchgear to facilitate quick disengagement of the drive when an electrical circuit trips under overcurrent. The clutch acts as a safety device to endure high overrunning speeds and allows the drive shaft to rotate at normal operating speeds during each tripping cycle. The trip mechanism utilizes the stored potential energy of the helical compression spring, which is the …

Enhancing Resolution of Artifact Image using AR-CNN and SRGAN
Abstract: Abstract The super-resolution strategy recreates a higher-resolution image or arrangement from the observed low resolutions (LR) images. As super-resolution has been created for over three decades, both multi-casing and single-outline super-resolution has critical applications in our everyday life. Existing super-resolution strategies have a few constraints. The artifact is additionally an issue in compression of an image. With artifacts, the high-resolution image is most noticeably terrible to see. In this paper, …

Masters of Deception: A Group That Ruled Cyberspace
Abstract: While widely used, the term hacker is not always applied as it should be. In the hacking community in particular, there can be stark divisions between hackers - people immensely skilled at navigating computer systems and diagnosing security flaws - and crackers - those who use their hacking knowledge for malicious gain. This same dichotomy is sometimes represented by the terms white hat and black hat. A white hat hacker, …
