“…According to Dovi, et al (2009), "Current and future developments in National and World economies are closely connected to sustainable efficient and safe usage of raw materials and upon energy based on cleaner production concepts and approaches that are ecologically and economically appropriate for the short and for the long term future of society". Worldwide generation of waste tyres amounts to 5 million tones per year, representing 2% of total annual solid waste (Singh et al 2009).…”

This research looks at utilising an optimum quantity of rubber crumb as an air entraining admixture in concrete, thus providing maximum freeze thaw protection and maximum strength.Microscopic and chemical analysis was carried out on the rubber sample to investigate how rubber crumb entrains air and reacts with the surrounding concrete. The work contained two pilot studies that informed the main test methodology. The pilot studies examined the air content/compressive strength relationship (1) and freeze/thaw cycle durations (2).

Abstract:The impact of global warming and climate change is one of the most critical challenges of the 21st century. The greenhouse effect caused by technological development and industrial pollution has accelerated the speed of global warming. The continuous improvement in automobile energy consumption is one of the most effective ways to reduce global warming. A comparative analysis is proposed to examine the various automobiles that utilize technological innovation to improve their energy consumption. Their contribution to CO2 emissions is then investigated. This study focuses on technical innovation and output power of a conventional engine. The results indicate that innovative engines (such as the Ford turbo petrol/diesel engine, the EcoBoost/TDCi) have improved energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, the Toyota hybrid vehicles have also improved energy consumption and reduced greenhouse gases emissions.

Abstract:In this paper, point estimation approach is used to calculate the statistical moment of a random quantity that is a function of m input random variables. In this work, loads of the proposed network is considered as a random variable. Two special cases of point estimation approach are considered such as 2m and 2m+1 concentration schemes. In 2m concentration scheme, skewness is considered, but in 2m+1 concentration scheme, both skewness and kurtosis are taken into account for probability density function. The proposed model is investigated using P. M. Anderson 9-bus test system. As a result, by changing the value of a random variable that follows a predefined distribution, expected bus voltage magnitude and expected line loading are identified. For the comparison purpose, 2m and 2m+1 scheme was compared with deterministic load flow analysis.
