In recent years, landslides are taking place very seriously, and tend to increase in both scope and scale, threatening people's lives and properties. Therefore, timely detection of landslide areas is extremely important to minimize damage. In this paper, an improved algorithm for partitioning data with reliability problems using multiple fuzzifiers named as TSSFC is introduced.

The current study investigates the influences of using DP on the engineering properties of the modified SCM with the HVFA based supplementary cementitious binder. Particularly, the effect of slag with higher pozzolanic reactivity partially substituting fly ash on the properties of the modified SCM was preliminarily estimated, which has not been previously explored.

Polyurethane (PU) thin films quickly degrade under the presence of oxygen, vapor, temperature, and ultraviolet irradiation. Thus, efforts have been dedicated to improving the properties of PU films. This study presents a simple synthesis route to prepare PU embedded with CeO2-SiO2 nanocomposites (CS NCs).

Periodontitis is a chronic bacterial infection destroying tooth-supporting tissues. Like metronidazole, tinidazole (TNZ) is also effective in treating periodontitis. The preparation of polymeric nanoparticles containing TNZ helps to improve the solubility and increase the bioavailability of the drug. Objectives: This study aimed to formulate and optimize TNZ nanoparticles and evaluate their physicochemical properties.

In the present study, we have made an attempt to prepare complexed PVA-PVP-KNO3-BaTiO3 blend composite polymer electrolyte membranes composed of potassium nitrate (KNO3) as salt and BaTiO3 of various concentrations as filler and studied their properties. The advantages of addition the fillers are the increase in ionic conductivity at room temperatures and the improvement of the stability at the interface with electrodes.

In this work, gold nanorods (AuNRs) with well-controlled aspect ratios were prepared using a modified seedgrowth method and covered by TiO2 layers through the hydrothermal reaction to improve stability. Integrating TiO2 with plasmonic rod-like gold nanoparticles could enhance their photo activity by the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. AuNRs aspect ratios were controlled by varying the amount of seed solution, reducing agents, surfactant (CTAB), and titanium (IV) but oxide.

The article will be focused on methods of chemical modification of NR and the use of improved traditional fillers such as carbon black (CB) and silica. Modification reactions include epoxidation, hydrogenation, and grafting vinyl monomers onto NR molecules. Some methods of surface modification of NR film were also reviewed. Thanks to modification the NR degree of unsaturatiton is decrease that leads to its enhanced aging resistance.

To achieve the aim, the first objective is preliminary experiments on preparation of polypropylene blends with silicone elastomer masterbatch and characterize by analysis of mass composition, mechanical properties, and dynamic mechanical properties to investigate any improvement of properties. The silicone elastomer masterbatch will then be substituted with propylene-maleic anhydride graft copolymer waxes or other compatibilizers.

The primary aim of this research was to identify what would enhance the overall performance of Australian universities in research commercialisation¹ and industry uptake of the university research commercialisation outcomes. Four research questions were enunciated: 1. What are the systemic barriers to research commercialisation within Australian universities? 2. How could Australian universities overcome the systemic barriers to the commercialisation of university research? 3.

While it is recognised that knitted fabrics may have their place in firefighting PPC, especially for undergarments, from the point of view of fire performance, strength and presentation, woven fabric constructions appear to be more suitable for work wear applications. Hence, this study is concerned with developing and testing a range of functional, woven Station Wear fabrics designed to enhance flame protection, durability and thermo-physiological comfort properties. In trying to improve all three aspects, a compromise in the properties of fabrics developed would be very likely.

The focus of this research is to identify the important steps and considerations that influence Australian fund manager’s property allocation decisions, and to suggest ways to improve institutional allocation decisions towards property investments, which traditionally offers stable, income focused returns. This is important for funding the retirement of Australia’s growing and aging population, and to combat the continued effects of the recent Global Financial Crisis on the equities and bond markets.

This research examines property university programs in Australia. It tracks the student/graduate from the beginning of the university experience to that of the early-career professional, and examines expectations of other stakeholders, concentrating on property programs offered by Australian public universities. The basis of the research is a perceived gap in the literature and practice relating to stakeholder expectations of these programs and what may reasonably be done to improve satisfaction.

The major protein fraction in pearl millet is prolamin the alcohol soluble fraction called pennisetin. Researches on the factors affecting pennisetin extraction and on its functional properties are still very scant. In this paper, the effect of temperature, reducing agents (β-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol or sodium metabisulfite) and sodium hydroxide on pennisetin extraction was assessed.
