{"title":"An Investigation to Replace sand with Kunkur Quarry dust as fine Aggregates in Concrete.","authors":"Dennis Mumo Ndolo Mr, Abednego Gwaya, S. Diang’a","doi":"10.35940/ijsce.b3465.0910220","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35940/ijsce.b3465.0910220","url":null,"abstract":"Following a national outcry by environment management organizations both governmental and non-governmental to preserve rivers it’s seen to be strongly backed by political leaders which is posing a great threat to the future of construction industry. This therefore calls for thorough investigations on alternative materials which can potentially be used to replace sand either partially or fully to help preserve rivers which are the major source of sand. Sand harvesting is associated with drying up of rivers which causes water problems to the communities during the dry period. At present, the identified alternative sources are manufactured sand (mechanically crushed rock sand).This source proves to be expensive as machinery must be purchased purposely for crushing the aggregates and extra cost must be incorporated with this process. The alternative sought should therefore be of a lower cost compared to what is currently in use. The research examined the use of Kunkur fines to test its potential for use as an alternative to preserve the drying rivers. The research used quantitative design to examine its variables which extend from the raw materials, fresh and the hardened concrete. Kunkur fines from EAPCC quarry is a potential material for partially replacing sand up to 50% for fine aggregates in concrete as it qualifies the tests which are required to regard a material as having sufficient structural strength and suitable for use as fine aggregate. An increase of Kunkur fines in the blend slightly reduces the strength of concrete. Up to 50% replacement the blend gives sufficient structural strength of 20N/mm 2 and above with further increase of Kunkur recording lower values than the design strength. Kunkur has low silt content which is slightly higher than that of sand by 0.91% but below the maximum required percentage by BS 812 of 5%. The research recommends the use of Kunkur fines as it will help reduce the amount of sand harvested in the rivers annually by half and this will reduce the effect of water scarcity in the affected areas. Its use will also solve the problem of heap disposal by the EAPCC in the mines as the waste will be appropriately used in the construction industry.","PeriodicalId":173799,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Soft Computing and Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133747058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shrimp has high water content, causing quick spoilage of the product and degradation of its quality from post-harvesting to end-consumers. The use of formalin to prolong the shelf life of shrimp has become a raised issue in the food safety field as formalin could have negative impacts on human health. Therefore, its use in food products is prohibited. The electrical impedance spectroscopy could be used to detect the food additives such as formalin in shrimp. This paper discusses the impedance of the shrimp after soaked in formalin solution. The shrimp samples were soaked in the different concentrations of formalin solution and stored for five days. The shrimp without formalin was used as a control sample. The electrical properties of the shrimp samples were measured using the electrical impedance spectroscopy method using frequency from 1 Hz to 1 MHz each day. The results show that the impedance of the shrimp decrease with an increase of the storage time. The shrimp with formalin experience a slower degradation compared to the shrimp without formalin. Higher the formalin concentrations (10% - 40%) added to the shrimp causes a slower texture change on the shrimp compared to lower formation concentrations (1%-5%). The impedance of the shrimp decrease with the increase of injected signal frequency. The electrical impedance spectroscopy has the potential to be developed as a tool in food safety field to detect food additives contained in the food to ensure the safety of the food products to the consumers.","PeriodicalId":173799,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Soft Computing and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130733244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are a number of different modulation techniques used in WDN-PON systems but here the comparison is made among carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ), duobinary return-to-zero (DRZ) and modified duobinary return-to-zero (MDRZ) modulation. The comparison to determine which is better is made my performing simulations in OptiSystem version 17 software. OptiSystem 17 is the current version of the software at the time the simulations were being carried out. In the OptiSystem software an optical fiber system is simulated from transmitter all the way to receiver. In the experiment when checking the performance of the different modulation formats, the optical fiber and the receiver are left unchanged and only the transmitter part is changed according to the modulation format being simulated at that particular instance. The modulation in the transmitter is done by using proper components from the OptiSystem library which when organized in the right order will give out a signal modulated in a certain format by the time it is fed into the optical fiber. Knowing the performance of modulation can help in WDM PON where the network gets to use passive components as it goes to user. Since no active amplification or correction equipment is used in WDM-PON, therefore using the format with the best performance can help with performance of overall system.","PeriodicalId":173799,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Soft Computing and Engineering","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132640183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
