Study on Mechanical properties of Geo Polymer Concrete Using M-Sand and Glass Fibers

ABSTRACT-Fly Ash is one of the major waste materials available from thermal power plants. Its treatment and disposal was a problem in the early stages. Researchers found out a useful method of replacing fly ash for cement in calculated qualities.Here an experiment has been conducted to study the performance of concrete using fly ash as the major binding material without of cement. Low calcium fly ash is preferred as a source material than High calcium fly ash because of to reducing more carbon di-oxide emission. Alkaline liquid Sodium hydroxide and Sodium silicate solution are used in this project as binders. It is used in Geo polymerization process.A mix proportion for Geopolymer concrete was designed and tests were carried out. The compressive, tensile & flexural strength of Geopolymer concrete have been studied and compared with OPC.Glass is one of the cheapest & abundantly available fibers. Glass fiber has been extensively used in reinforced cement. Glass fibers were added to the mix in fractions of 0.5%, 1%,1.5% and 2% to the weight of cement. Based on the test results, optimum % were formulated with respect to compressive,tensile & flexural strength

Automatic Detection of Cyberbullying in Social Media Text

While social media offer great communication opportunities, they also increase the vulnerability of young people to threatening situations online. Recent studies report that cyberbullying constitutes a growing problem among youngsters. Successful prevention depends on the adequate detection of potentially harmful messages and the information overload on the Web requires intelligent systems to identify potential risks automatically. The focus of this paper is on automatic cyberbullying detection in social media text by modelling posts written by bullies, victims, and bystanders of online bullying. We describe the collection and fine-grained annotation of a training corpus for English and Dutch and perform a series of binary classification experiments to determine the feasibility of automatic cyberbullying detection. We make use of linear support vector machines exploiting a rich feature set and investigate which information sources contribute the most for this particular task. Experiments on a holdout test set reveal promising results for the detection of cyberbullying-related posts. After optimisation of the hyperparameters, the classifier yields an F1-score of 64% and 61% for English and Dutch respectively, and considerably outperforms baseline systems based on keywords and word unigrams.Comment: 21 pages, 9 tables, under revie

Aflatoxins and food pathogens: impact of biologically active aflatoxins and their control strategies

Abstract Globally disease outbreaks as a result of the consumption of contaminated food and feedstuffs are a regular primary problem. The foremost elements contributing to contamination are microorganisms, particularly fungi, which produce low-molecular weight secondary metabolites, with demonstrated toxic properties that are referred to as mycotoxins. Aflatoxins contaminate agricultural commodities and may cause sickness or fatality in humans and animals. Moreover, poor conditions of storage and a deficiency in regulatory measures in food quality control aggravate the main issue. For that reason, mycotoxin-related illness of nutrition represents a major health hazard for local populations. Government policies should make regulations aiming to avoid the entry of aflatoxins into food stuffs. For consumer safety, control and management strategies should be developed and implemented by regulatory authorities. There is the need for attention from farmers, scientists, government and collaborative minds throughout the country to ensure aflatoxin-free food. The present review is informative not only for health-conscious consumers, but also for relevant authorities with respect to paving the way for future research aiming to fill the existing gaps in our knowledge with regard to mycotoxins and food security. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industr
