Optimization of Compressive Strength of Segmental Interlocking Stones
Abstract: The failure of most segmental interlocking stones used as pavement materials is traceable to lack of knowledge of the mix ratios that would optimize the compressive strength of the end products. In this study, the compressive strength was optimized based on Scheffe’s simplex lattice approach. The reliability of model developed was investigated using F-statistic and was found to be adequate. A computer program written in basic language was used to …

Data Science for Environmental Modelling
Abstract: Abstract: Soil moisture is a critical Earth system variable linking atmospheric, hydrological, and ecological processes. However, observations are sparse and fragmented: in situ gauges provide point data, satellite missions (SMAP, SMOS, Sentinel-1) offer broad coverage at coarse resolutionQ, and land‐surface models (GLDAS, ERA5, etc.) yield estimates with their own biase. Here we propose a conceptual framework for integrated environmental data modelling, combining rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture information with machine …
