Improving Durability of Asphalt Pavement Wearing Course Submerged in Water Using Candle Wax as Water Proofing Agent: An Assessment Using RSI, FDI and SDI
Abstract: Asphalt pavements are designed and constructed to meet mostly stability and durability requirements during its design life. However, durability of asphalt pavements also heavily depends on other physical parameters as good drainage facility apart from having good material mix and structural designs. In the wake of asphalt pavements not supported by good drainage measures it is very likely that these pavements will fail sooner than later. On this basis, the …

Extreme Rainfall and Streamflow in Niamey City: Trends and Relationship Between Higher Streamflow and Rainfall
Abstract: Increasing rainfall frequency and intensity, which causes floods, is one effect of climate change. Recent heavy rains have caused regular flooding in several major towns in West Africa. ln order to comprehend the cyclical patterns of flash floods and very high rainfall occurrences in Niamey, Niger, between 1982 and 2021. The National Meteorological Direction, the Regional Centre AGRHYMET, as well as the Niger Civil Protection General Direction, provided the flood …

Structured P2P multidimensional HyperCube system
Abstract: Peer-to-peer systems enable access to data spread over an extremely large number of machines. Today’s peer-to-peer systems are limited in scope in terms of data in multidimensional range. The project creates an ‘n’-dimensional hypecube p2p system which supports nodes with threads connecting them in a cube like structure. Each Node generates random character strings thus adding a data storage feature. Eventually it will look for retrieval and lookup of the …

Design and Implementation of Trans-Z-Source Inverter
Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper presents the impedance-source (Z-source) inverters concept to the transformer-based Z-source (trans-Z- source) inverters. The original Z-source inverter (ZSI) contains an impedance network of two inductors and two capacitors connected in a unique arrangement to interface the dc source and the inverter. It has buck and boost function that cannot be achieved by traditional voltage-source inverters and current- source inverters. In the proposed trans-Z-source inverter, the impedance network …
