An Efficient Adaptive Anticollision Algorithm Based on 4-Ary Pruning Query Tree by Wei Zhang, Yajun Guo, Xueming Tang, Guohua Cui, Longkai Wu, Ying Mei

“…In radio frequency identification system (RFID), the efficiency in which the reader identifies multiple tags is closely related to the methods to solve the collision of multiple tags. At present, a reasonable solution is the introduction of 4-ary query tree (or n -ary query tree) to reduce the collision time slots and additional query is used to decrease idle timeslots. …”

An investigation of the effect of high temperature on the strength compression and ultrasonic pulse velocity of self-compacting concrete by Hadji Ben Salah, Mostefa Hani

“… One of the most significant mechanisms of deterioration in self-compacting concrete (SCC) structures over the course of their service life is exposure to elevated temperatures. For this reason, the effects of elevated temperatures on the residual mechanical properties of SCC made of various cementitious additions (silica fume (SF), limestone filler (LF), and crushed dune sand (SD)) was investigated via partially substituting amount of Portland cement in the SCC. …”
