The test results reveal that increasing thickness of the inner ring increases the tensile creep at early age leading to the reduction of the average strain and residual stress of the inner ring.
However, its low W/B compared to conventional concretes, the admixing of large quantities of admixtures and the absence of coarse aggregates lead to large autogenous shrinkage and large risk of occurrence of shrinkage cracking at early age due to the significant reduction of the cross-section enabled by the increase of strength when applied as structural member [1].
The mean values of the data measured by the two LVDTs were used.

When compressed uniaxially up to 60% reduction in the supercooled liquid (SCL) region, the flakes in this composite were substantially aligned their broad faces towards the compression plane that generated a strong fibre texture.

Ru substitution at Mn sites leads to reduction in TP and increase the overall MR.
In order to understand the conduction mechanism responsible for the electrical transport in the metallic region, we have analyzed the resistivity data using the Zener-double exchange polynomial (ZDE), expressed as ρ = ρ0 + ρ2T2 + ρnTn
We have fitted the metallic region data of all compounds to all these equations but best fit could be obtained for ρ = ρ0 + ρ2T2 + ρ4.5T4.5
The fitted resistivity data are shown as line in Fig. 2 (a, b and c) without magnetic field and fitted values of the constants are tabulated in Table 1.
It is clear from the linear fits as symbolic line of ln(r/T) vs. 1/T that, the data fit well to the SPH type of conduction in the insulating region does not obey the other models.

For Al alloys many of the required data have been determined in the framework of the European research programme COST 507 [14].
One of the most sophisticated data bases available - including the 15 most common elements of wrought Al alloys (Al-Mn-Fe-Si-Mg-Cu-Cr-Ti-B-Ce-Ni-V-Zn-Zr) and capable of handling quaternary phases like α-Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si - is distributed commercially by ThermoTech [15].
(9) Note that the required microchemistry data, including the particle density entering in the Zener-drag pZ (Eq. 7) as well as the concentration of solids css (Eqs. 3, 4, 9), can be provided by the microchemistry model ClaNG.
The microchemistry data necessary as an input for the softening module AlSoft were computed with the microchemistry model ClaNG.
Obviously, the resulting recrystallization kinetics data agree qualitatively well with the above findings that coiling temperatures in excess of 300°C are required to enable full recrystallization during self-annealing of the coiled hot strip, see Fig. 2.

The data obtained are used for characterization of magnetic clusters in structures with ultrathin Fe layers (tFe<6.6 Å) and for estimation of interfacial electron scattering parameters in GMR superlattices.
Results and discussion TKE data for a number of Fe(tx)/Cr10 Å nanostructures are shown in Fig. 1a,b.
Correlation between MRE and GMR experimental data as function of Fe layer thickness.
The data obtained show that probabilities of electron scattering for spin-up (↑) and spin-down (¯) directions at the Fe/Cr(100) interface are in the ratio of about 2.4, a coefficient of spin asymmetry of scattering = - 0.59, relaxation times of conductivity electrons for m=1: =1.13·10-15 s and =4.37·10-15 s.

Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) may be deployed in conjunction to SCM to improve the spectral efficiency and enhance the data rate of subscribers in a Local Area Network (LAN).
A wireless LAN complements 3G integrated data and voice services offered by cellular network operators [2-4].
More recently, MMF solutions such as OM3 and OM4 offer high speed data transfers for short distances less than 1 km [16].

The results indicate that an architecture emphasizing early production and utilization of lunar propellant has lower hardware development costs, lower cost uncertainties, and a reduction in human transportation costs of approximately fifty percent.
Reduction of Cost: Robotic infrastructure can be economical in 3 ways: 1) They do not require life support systems, allowing greater payloads with lower development costs; 2) With smaller margins of safety, unmanned missions can use less expensive supplies; 3) It can deliver equipment from which following human explorers can use local resources.
Technology Data bases: A strong, integrated approach to the management of technology related information is important to a well-formulated investment portfolio.

A first approach to the energy saving topics lead to Passive House concept that was centered on energy demand reduction to almost zero values and stand-alone energy supply.
Moreover, which is the best compromise between demand reduction and energy supply?
Specifically consumption has been estimated sorting some representative area for each intended use and were compared to the gathered data from survey.
The base case-study simulation gave a yearly average consumption of 33.8 kWhe/m2y and all the introduced scenario allow a reduction of this consumption.
Specifically, the Scenario 6 is the better one in terms of CO2 emission reduction about 509.421 kg/y.
