The intent of this study is to explore the physical properties and long-term performance of concrete made with metakaolin (MK) as a binder, using microsilica (MS) and nanosilica (NS) as substitutes for a portion of the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) content.The dosage of MS was varied from 5% to 15% for OPC-MK-MS magnolia parka blends, and the dosa
Solving the robotic swarm coverage problem for an elliptical area has various applications for exploring novel environments.Solutions for this problem should cover a specified ellipse and seamlessly adapt to changing numbers of robots.Previous solutions used techniques such as formation control, vector fields, and neural networks.While these techni
Uncoupling between molecular and morphological evolution is common in many animal and plant lineages.This is especially frequent among groups living in ancient deep lakes, because these ecosystems promote rapid morphological diversification, and has already been demonstrated for Tanganyika cychlid fishes and Baikal amphipods.Ostracods are also very
Color image authentication is a method that allows the detection of tampered regions on images.Existing related works evaluated their performance based on visual quality and detection capability of the marked image, but the issue of grayscale invariance was ignored.However, many applications in image processing required the color image to first con
The systematic position of 16 yeast strains isolated from Thailand, Hungary, The Netherlands, and the Republic of Poland were evaluated using morphological, physiological, and phylogenetic analyses.Based on the similarity of the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene, the strains were assigned to two distinct species, Trichosporiella flavificans and rep
