Experimental Study of Stabilized Soil Utilizing Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Desulfurization Ash with Carbide Slag and Desulfurization Gypsum by Dezhi Shao, Jinlong Liu, Xin Huang

“…The results show that CFBC ash has better pozzolanic activity than fly ash. When stabilizer total content is 10% and the ratio of CFBC ash : carbide slag : desulfurization gypsum is 7.2 : 1.8 : 1, compressive strength of stabilized soil can reach the maximum of 2.12 MPa at the age of 28 d of curing. …”

Efficient Convex Optimization of Reentry Trajectory via the Chebyshev Pseudospectral Method by Chun-Mei Yu, Dang-Jun Zhao, Ye Yang

“…A novel sequential convex (SCvx) optimization scheme via the Chebyshev pseudospectral method is proposed for efficiently solving the hypersonic reentry trajectory optimization problem which is highly constrained by heat flux, dynamic pressure, normal load, and multiple no-fly zones. The Chebyshev-Gauss Legend (CGL) node points are used to transcribe the original dynamic constraint into algebraic equality constraint; therefore, a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem is concave and time-consuming to be solved. …”

'Des Yeux Qui Ne Voient Pas...': The smartphones by Luca Di Lorenzo

“…Described by the architects themselves as a ‘travel toolbox’ or ‘pop-up fly loft theatre in the city’, this compact architecture is the incarnation of three interesting formal qualities usually associated with smartphones: the clear division between the hardware and the ergonomic user interface; the possibility to operate different functions (or software) in the same space (or screen); and the real and virtual connection with different urban situations.…”

Review on Major Insect Pests of Mango in Nepal: Impact, Identification, and Integrated Management Strategies by Diwash Niraula, Sandesh Dulal

“… Mango(magnifera indica), called as king of fruits is widely cultivated in Nepal, where huge scales of production and sales are projected to reach approximately 300 millions in 2023.Althought having strong output,Mango industry faces several challenges from insect and pest which affect the quality and quantity in fruits yield.This articles examines the major pest affecting the mango crop in Nepal, including the mango hopper, mealybug, mango stem borer, mango fruit fly, and mango leaf webber. This paper discuss the nature of damage they causes, their biology and environmentally sustainable management practices.The promotion of integrated pest management practices is a crucial approach to mitigate the adverse affects of chemical pesticides, fostering environmental health and enhancing the economic benefits to Nepalese people. …”

Research on In-situ Sludge Solidification in the Ecological Refuse Landfill Closure Project by ZHANG Xiaoyu, ZHOU Xianjin, CAO Jun

“…For the site pilot test of in-situ sludge solidification in a large ecological landfill closure project in southwest China,this paper adopts five kinds of curing agent mix ratios for site construction,adds curing agent and conducts in-situ mixing with cleaning and mixing equipment after pretreatment of sludge,and drills and samples the treated refuse soil after rolling and curing.The test results show that the sludge treated with five kinds of curing agents could meet the design requirements on pH,moisture content,shear strength and unconfined compressive strength.Through the comparison of shear strength and unconfined compressive strength,the effect of No.5 curing agent is the best,that is,in the curing agent,the ordinary silicate content is 19.3%,the fly ash content is 6.43%,and the curing agent ratio is 25.73%.In the actual construction,the No.5 mix ratio is widely used.In addition,according to the difference of physical properties of sludge in level and treatment direction,the mix ratio of curing agent and the parameters of mixing equipment shall be adjusted appropriately to ensure the uniformity of sludge curing effect.…”
