Mechanical, Durability and Thermal Properties of Foamed Concrete Reinforced with Synthetic Twisted Bundle Macro-Fibers by Othuman Mydin, Md Azree, Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun, Omar, Roshartini, Dulaimi, Anmar, Mohammed Najm, Hadee, Mahmood, Shaker, Sabri, Mohanad Muayad Sabri

“…The use of foamed concrete (FC) in the construction sector has been rapidly growing over the past few years as a result of the several advantages it possesses in comparison to traditional high-strength concrete. FC, on the other hand, suffers from a number of deficiencies, such as brittleness, limited ductility, high porosity, excessive drying shrinkage, little resistance to cracking and deformation. …”

Flow past a near-wall retrograde rotating cylinder at varying rotation and gap ratios by Tan, Soon Keat, Wang, Xi Kun, Li, Ya Lin, Yuan, Shou Qi

“…Similar to a near-wall stationary cylinder, there exists a critical gap ratio (about 0.4) below which periodic vortex shedding from the cylinder is suppressed. On the other hand, the cylinder rotation causes vortex shedding to cease at α ≥ 1.6, which is slightly lower than the reported value of α ≈ 2 in the literature on rotating cylinder in uniform flow. …”

Efficient public key encryption with equality test in the standard model by Zhang, Kai, Chen, Jie, Lee, Hyung Tae, Qian, Haifeng, Wang, Huaxiong

“…However, to the best of our knowledge, almost all existing schemes were presented under assuming the existence of random oracles, except for generic construction proposed by Lee et al. On the other hand, their generic approach for PKEET employs a 2-level hierarchical identity-based encryption and a strongly unforgeable one-time signature, which suffers from low efficiency. …”
