In speech communication and particularly in mobile voice communication, noise reduction is a vital task for improvement in the quality of communication. Several speech enhancement algorithms available in the literature are mainly for the reduction of noise in stationary environments. In this...

An experimental investigation was made on the complete compressive stress-strain relationship for concrete of M30 grade exposed to elevated temperatures. The concrete specimens of 28 days age were 15 cm diameter and 30 cm long standard cylinders. They were exposed to elevated temperatures...

Fire accident is a disastrous event which causes damage to life and property. When an accidental fire occurs, the duration of fire is less but the intensity of heat produced will be more. In addition to accidents, there are some special structures which are subjected to high temperatures for...

Use of quality materials, lower water-binder ratio, larger ratio of coarse aggregate to fine aggregate, smaller size of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate of high fineness modulus, suitable cementitious materials and High Range Water Reducer (HRWR) with all materials to their optimum contents are...
