Experimental and Numerical Investigation of The Behavior of Screen Grid ICF Walls by El Maghraby, Yosra Hesham

“…Finite Element Modeling was performed in order to create a reliable model, validated by the experimental results, on which future intensive parametric study can be performed The monotonic loading experimental program was designed to investigate some test parameters; connection of the wall panel to the footing (dowel effect), grid size/ percentage of perforation, steel bars distribution, reinforcement ratio, use of steel fibers in the concrete mixture, effect of openings and opening sizes. …”

The influence of various South African aggregates on the creep of concrete by Mallows, Frank Arthur

“…In order to allow for variation in cement content and age of loading, between the different test series, the partial coefficients from the CEB 1970 code recommendations were incorporated in the program. …”

Structural Investigation of Negative Gaussian Curvature Shells as Liquid-Storage Vessels by Mahlelebe, Hlasoa

“…This makes it possible to be built into a large-capacity supersized tank (Zingoni, Mokhothu & Enoma, 2015). Some research has emerged on the analysis and design aspects of some elevated liquid containment vessels such as cylindrical, spherical, conical, and an Inze tank (a tank of compound geometry comprising of spherical top closure, vertical cylindrical sides, a conical transition in a lower part and a spherical bottom closure). …”

Influence of symmetry on the stability behaviour of plane and space frames by Kaluba, Chisanga

“…Lastly this study found that, plane frames that are Cnv symmetric in terms of loading and subjected to Cnv/2 loading display the buckling behaviour of a plane frame symmetric to Cnv with respect to loading and stiffness for the case where n/2 is even. …”

Investigating language preferences in improving multilingual Swahili information retrieval by Telemala, Joseph Philipo

“…Researchers have proposed several approaches for combining the results from individual result lists to produce a single result list. Some are heuristics, such as round-robin, in which a result is drawn from each result list one at a time until all lists are exhausted, while others are Machine Learning (ML)-based, in which a model is trained using a variety of features from the query and the required documents. …”

SdrLift: A Domain-Specific Intermediate Hardware Synthesis Framework for Prototyping Software-Defined Radios by Tsoeunyane, Lekhobola Joachim

“…Gateware for programming FPGAs is described at a lowlevel of design abstraction using Register Transfer Language (RTL), typically using either VHSIC-HDL (VHDL) or Verilog code. In practice, the low-level description languages have a very steep learning curve, provide low productivity for hardware designers and lack readily available open-source library support for fundamental designs, and consequently limit the design to only hardware experts. …”
