This paper presents the results of four long-term experiments carried out to investigate the time-dependent behaviour of composite floor slabs with particular attention devoted to the development of non-uniform shrinkage through the slab thickness. This is produced by the presence of the steel deck which prevents moisture egress to occur from the underside of the slab. To observe the influence of different drying conditions on the development of shrinkage, the four 3.3 m long specimens consisted of two composite slabs cast on Stramit Condeck $HP^{(R)}$ steel deck and two reinforced concrete slabs, with the latter ones having both faces exposed for drying. During the long-term tests, the samples were maintained in a simply-supported configuration subjected to their own self-weight, creep and shrinkage for four months. Separate concrete samples were prepared and used to measure the development of shrinkage through the slab thickness over time for different drying conditions. A theoretical model was used to predict the time-dependent behaviour of the composite and reinforced concrete slabs. This approach was able to account for the occurrence of non-uniform shrinkage and comparisons between numerical results and experimental measurements showed good agreement. This work highlights the importance of considering the shrinkage gradient in predicting shrinkage deformations of composite slabs. Further comparisons with experimental results are required to properly validate the adequacy of the proposed approach for its use in routine design.

While coarse geomaterials with abundant fine particles are common, comparatively little information is available to know their engineering behaviour. In this study, the effects of fine particle content of coarse geomaterials on engineering properties, such as shear strength, deformability and permeability were investigated. It was known through large triaxial compression tests that when they are compared with good rock materials, the rock materials with abundant fine particles have different compaction characteristics, low shear strength, low stiffness, and low permeability.

Cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems whose behaviour is completely specified in terms of a local relation. If cellular automata convergence to fixed points, then it can be used to image processing. From the generalized Potts automata point of view, we propose in this paper a cellular automata technique for reducing image noise. To minimize blurring effect, an algorithm based on neighborhood median computation is Preferred. Experimental results are reported.

To develop an effective virtual prototyping methodology for the PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) based real-time systems, a conversion algorithm from RLL(Relay Ladder Logic) to statechart is presented in this paper. The RLL is the main programming language to represent the operation of the PLC, and the statechart is the most widely used tool in the field of virtual prototyping in order to represent the behaviour of real-time systems. A virtual prototyping for an example case is implemened to evaluate the benefit of the proposed algorithm.

We previously developed and presented the 3D ion implantation simulation code, TRICSI. In this paper, we performed the multiple implants into (100) silicon substrate with our recently enhanced version. Our results for the multiple implants were compared with the previously published SIMS data and obtained the good agreements. In this paper the channeling behaviour of implanted impurity and the damage accumulation are analyzed and discussed in the simple 3D structure, named the Hole structure which has a rectangular implant window.

A current-controlling transadmittance amplifier is proposed. It consists of a linear transadmittor and a current gain cell followed by three current mirrors. The proposed transadmittance amplifier is used to design a current-controlling frequency-dependent negative resistor (FDNR). Experimental results are presented to verify theoretical predictions. The results show close agreement between predicted behaviour and experimental performance.

The continuous compaction response of zirconia powders prepared by different processing treatments was investigated. Though the yield point could be or not below 1 MPa, the change of slope was always observed at high pressure range around 60 MPa. Powder compaction was mainly governed by second compaction stage and compaction rate was decreased with increasing forming pressure. Rotary vacuum dried powder favored a high compaction density, whereas freeze dried and calcined powders favored an increase in the pressing efficiency. In order to extract more reliable information about powder compaction, it was necessary to use not only compaction response diagram but also compaction rate diagram.

A new interface circuit for variable resistive sensors is proposed. The interface circuit compose of only two strain gages, a voltage-to-current converter, and current mirror with two outputs. A new dual slope A/D converter based on linear operational transconductance amplifier for the testing of prototype interface circuit is also described. The theory of operation is presented and experimental results are used to verify the theoretical predictions. The results show close agreement between predicted behaviour and experimental performance.

A 20 MHz CMOS continuous low-pass filter using simulated floating inductor consisted of two fully-differential transconductors and a capacitor is presented.

The internet is enabling a new economy based on the networking of human knowledge. While the benefits of connecting people to people, people to information and people to data within an organization are becoming more recognized and appreciated, much less is known about managing knowledge creation and dissemination across corporate boundaries. This paper addresses the challenges associated with selecting the best collaborative strategy and managing relationships which span organizational cultures and boundaries.
