Theoretical understanding of gradients of spike functions as boolean functions by DongHyung Yoo, Doo Seok Jeong

“…The non-differentiability comes into play given that the spike function is viewed as a numeric function, most popularly, the Heaviside step function of membrane potential. To get back to basics, the spike function is not a numeric but a Boolean function that outputs True or False upon the comparison of the current potential and threshold. …”

Chloride Diffusivity in Blended Cement Made from Selected Industrial and Agrowastes by Jackson Muthengia Wachira, Joseph Mwiti Marangu

“…The cement, abbreviated as PCDC, was made from blending ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with dried calcium carbide residue and an incinerated mix of rice husks, spent bleaching earth, and broken bricks. The aim of the study was to investigate the ability of PCDC to withstand aggressive chloride environment. 10 cm × 10 cm mortar cubes were prepared using PCDC and cured for 28 days in saturated calcium hydroxide solution. …”
