Residual Mechanical Properties Of Ggbs-Fa-Sf Blended Geopolymer Concrete After Exposed To Elevated Temperatures, Min Yu, Tan Wang, Yin Chi, Dawang Li, Long-Yuan Li, Feiyu Shi Jan 2024

Residual Mechanical Properties Of Ggbs-Fa-Sf Blended Geopolymer Concrete After Exposed To Elevated Temperatures, Min Yu, Tan Wang, Yin Chi, Dawang Li, Long-Yuan Li, Feiyu Shi

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Geopolymer concrete has been increasingly used in industry. However, if the geopolymer concrete is blended using a single percussor its performance is often very limited by the properties of the percussor. Thus, it is preferable to use multiple percussors to produce geopolymer concrete. In this paper an experimental study is reported on the residual micro- and macro-mechanical properties of the steel-fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete blended by using combined percussors of ground granulated blast-furnace slag, fly ash, and salic fume. The experimental work included the examination of the effects of exposure temperature, the volume fractions of coarse aggregate and steel fibre …

Objectives Among people experiencing severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD), poor oral health is common and linked to smoking, substance use and high sugar intake. Studies have explored interventions addressing oral health and related behaviours; however, factors related to the implementation of these interventions remain unclear. This mixed-methods systematic review aimed to synthesise evidence on the implementation and sustainability of interventions to improve oral health and related health behaviours among adults experiencing SMD. Methods Bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, EBSCO, Scopus) and grey literature were searched from inception to February 2023. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were screened and extracted …


Reconstructing The Last 71 Ka Paleoclimate In Northeast China By Integrating Typical Loess Sections, Juan Li, Kristofor R. Brye, Zhong-Xiu Sun, Phillip R. Owens, Zhuo-Dong Jiang, Tian-Hao Wang, Meng-Ge Zhang, Qiu-Bing Wang Jan 2024

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Long-term continuous deposits and well-preserved thick loess sections are natural archives for the reconstruction of global climate change. However, the loess sections are often discontinuous owing to soil erosions and accumulations. This study aimed at reconstructing long-term continuous paleoclimatic records by integrating the target sections of two typical loess sequences in northeast (NE) China. One section, the Dajiugang (DJG) section, was investigated and sampled, and the Sanbahuo (SBH) section was used as the target for integrating and reconstructing the paleoclimate. Sedimentary, pedogenesis, and luminescence dating analyses were conducted to analyze the potentials for reconstructing the paleoclimate by integrating two typical …


Transformer Decoder With Tokenized Image Snapshot For Interactive Augmented Reality, D Shin Jan 2024

Transformer Decoder With Tokenized Image Snapshot For Interactive Augmented Reality, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

While augmented reality (AR) devices enable users to provide queries via different modalities such as touch, gesture, voice, camera, etc., providing multimodal queries currently requires a user to perform multiple manual steps. This disclosure describes techniques, implemented with user permission, for automatic intelligent multimodal input capture by an AR device to understand user queries by automatically capturing input from additional modalities besides the one that the user uses to provide the query. The initial query (e.g., a spoken query) is decoded, e.g., with a transformer decoder, and if the query indicates an additional modality for input, the decoding is paused, …


Representing Historically Marginalized Communities In Archives: Moving Beyond Lcsh To Create More Inclusive Subject Headings, Melissa Ewing Jan 2024

Representing Historically Marginalized Communities In Archives: Moving Beyond Lcsh To Create More Inclusive Subject Headings, Melissa Ewing

The Information Warrior Journal

The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are widely used around the world in libraries and archives to add access points for users searching their collections. This can be problematic because LCSH has many embedded issues including inconsistency and complexity, the myth of neutrality that surrounds it, systemic biases, and how slow it is to change. These problems lead to poor descriptions of people, especially those who belong to historically marginalized communities. Archives can move beyond LCSH to create local thesauri, crowdsourced vocabularies, and collaborative partnerships with historically marginalized communities to create more inclusive subject headings.


Arbiters Of Ugliness: A Review Of Strategies For Describing Offensive Archival Materials, Leah Minadeo Jan 2024

Arbiters Of Ugliness: A Review Of Strategies For Describing Offensive Archival Materials, Leah Minadeo

The Information Warrior Journal

As archivists increasingly concede that neutrality is impossible, we suggest that non-action is still action. It follows that to treat reasonably offensive records as any other record is to apply an interpretation that they are innocuous, unremarkable, and uncontroversial. Archivists may perceive the stakes of describing these materials as particularly high, but they lack a comprehensive set of descriptive strategies in consideration of interpretive ethics. As a result, existing practices are likely to be local or ad hoc. This research aims to identify and explore descriptive strategies archivists use which serve to construct (or concede) the meaning that certain historical …


Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Insider’S Perspective In Public And Academic Libraries, Ryan Lamberts Jan 2024

Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Insider’S Perspective In Public And Academic Libraries, Ryan Lamberts

The Information Warrior Journal

The purpose of this paper is to bring to light the social issue of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and how public and academic libraries are making strides to better serve this branch of the population. Definitions will be provided to better explain what challenges ASD patrons face. In turn, librarians across America, specifically in Illinois and Ohio in recent years, have come together to discuss in both literature and national forums what they are continually doing to better serve, educate, and support their patrons and train their librarians. ASD is a complex social issue faced by millions; one widely …
