Da diáspora à nação, de casa à dispersão
Authors: Costa Bruno , Loff Manuel
Published: May 2020

Neste artigo é pensada a tensão entre inclusão e exclusão da subjetividade queer palestiniana. Partimos do conceito lato de “diáspora” apresentado por James Clifford, em Routes: Travel and Translation in the Late Twentieth Century (1997) e do conceito queer proposto por João Manuel de Oliveira, no Dicionário Alice (2019), para pensar a dupla rutura desta subjetividade, em relação a uma origem territorial e a uma sexualidade normativa. Do ponto de vista metodológico, destacamos o uso de fontes bibliográficas secundárias de forma transdisciplinar –de áreas do conhecimento tão diversas como a antropologia, a história, o planeamento urbano, os estudos culturais e pós-coloniais e os estudos de género e sexualidade–, a partir das quais analisamos a reabilitação do corpo físico e social do judeu pelo movimento sionista e as novas estratégias propostas para uma integração instrumental de subjetividades queer dentro do espaço normativo e militarista dos Estados-nação. Estas fontes bibliográficas secundárias e relatos de subjetividades queer palestinianas –recolhidos da imprensa internacional– permitiram-nos compreender que essa dupla rutura é interdependente da construção histórica do Sionismo como projeto político e ideológico, algo que se manifesta no momento da (ou na tentativa de) travessia da subjetividade queer palestiniana para o Estado de Israel. Nesse tempo e espaço ela é integrada nas narrativas ocidentais de progresso e democracia, como subjetividade queer, ao mesmo tempo que é excluída como subjetividade palestiniana racializada e patológica.
Toda a Biologia é queer
Authors: Ferraro Jose Luis
Published: May 2020

Ao sustentar o argumento de que toda a Biologia é queer o presente trabalho tem como objetivo jogar luzes sobre a importante discussão que diz respeito ao uso equivocado do conhecimento biológico frente à complexidade da temática da construção das identidades de gênero e sexual. A instrumentalização negativa dessa ciência e a ingenuidade relacionada à sua compreensão discursiva produzem uma série de erros comumente utilizados para a manutenção dos corpos queer em uma condição de anormalidade no interior de uma sociedade patriarcal, heteronormativa e binária. Assim, o artigo pretende mostrar que a Biologia se funda por essência na – e pela – biodiversidade e que sua epistemologia compreende os modos de existência queer, embora não exista nenhum tipo de determinismo biológico, mas arranjamentos singulares responsáveis pela constituição dessas subjetividades – processos de individuação relacionados às formas de desejo, aos modos de afecção e às performances, produzindo na condição contra-hegemônica dos sujeitos queer formas de resistências possíveis.
Entre tanques y pañuelos

Transformado en arma de guerra por la Office of Cordinator of Interamerican Affaires, el estilo de vida americano- estadounidense llegó a los hogares de todo el continente durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a través de una ofensiva publicitaria sin precedentes. Un poderoso arsenal de imágenes, elaborado por diferentes órganos del Departamento de Estado norteamericano, tenía por objetivo el reclutamiento de las mujeres para que participasen del esfuerzo de guerra, ya fuese en sus hogares, en el frente o en la fabricación de armas. Por medio de atractivos valores cívicos, la propaganda de guerra incluía en su repertorio diferentes recursos discursivos que, a partir de entonces, y hasta bien avanzada la posterior Guerra Fría, integrarían el amplio imaginario de una nueva forma de domesticidad. Este trabajo indaga, en perspectiva histórica y en soportes diversos, la utilización discursiva del género con fines de propaganda mediante la articulación entre elementos políticos y económicos y el cotidiano y la vida doméstica. Este recurso, cuya utilización usualmente damos por sentada cuando nos referimos a gobiernos autoritarios, muestra su utilidad también para gobiernos democráticos, aun cuando se pretenda como objetivo la preservación de un estilo de vida atribuido al “mundo libre”. A partir del cruce de fuentes primarias, como la afamada revista estadounidense The Reader’s Digest -en sus versiones en ingles, portugués y español- y de variados carteles de propaganda lanzados por gobierno de Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se desarrolla la idea de que las autorepresentaciones del gobierno americano acabaron formando un complejo entramado ideológico en el que se imbricaban los asuntos de estado con las cuestiones de género.
A LEITURA PARA A EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL NA BNCC: CONTINUIDADES E RUPTURAS
Authors: Silva Mellina , Guedes-Pinto Ana Lúcia
Published: May 2020

Ao longo das últimas décadas a Educação Infantil tem recebido diversas orientações de documentos oficiais para guiar os fazeres pedagógicos. A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), publicada em 2017, entrou para o rol de documentos que prescrevem a educação de todo o país. Desta forma, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar a Prática de Leitura apresentada pela BNCC para a Educação Infantil, buscando encontrar continuidades e rupturas em relação aos documentos oficiais precedentes - Referencial Curricular Nacional para a Educação Infantil (RCNEI) e as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Infantil (DCNEI). A pesquisa documental evidenciou que a BNCC apresenta como continuidades: o reconhecimento e o destaque do professor como mediador entre os textos e as crianças, e a leitura de livros literários como principal fonte de leitura; e como ruptura, a ausência de menção ao conceito de letramento como fundamento para o trabalho com a leitura.
A new Neogene biostratigraphy for Denmark
Authors: Dybkjær Karen , Piasecki Stefan
Published: May 2020

In Denmark most of the water used in private households, in the industry and for irrigation in agriculture comes from subsurface aquifers. Some of the most important aquifers in Jylland, western Denmark, are sand layers deposited from 23 to 15 Ma ago, in the Early Neogene (Early to Middle Miocene). About 23 Ma ago, in the Early Miocene, the coastline ran NW–SE across present-day Jylland (Rasmussen 2004). Global climatic variations led to major sea-level changes (Zachos et al. 2001), which in combination with increased sediment transport from the north (the present Norway) resulted in deposition of several huge, fluvio-deltaic sand systems intercalated with marine clay (e.g. Rasmussen 1961; Rasmussen 2004; Rasmussen & Dybkjær 2005). The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and the regional Environment Centres (the former counties (amter)) in Jylland are working in close cooperation to study the Early Neogene succession; the main purposes are: (1) to find new aquifers, (2) to map the extent of known aquifers and clarify their mutual relationships, in order to evaluate the size of the water resources and optimise production, and (3) to protect the aquifers from pollution due to leaching from the surface. In order to map the complex sedimentary succession, it has been necessary to combine several geological disciplines, including seismic interpretation, sedimentology, correlation of geophysical logs, and biostratigraphy (e.g. Dybkjær 2004; Rasmussen 2004; Rasmussen et al. 2004; Piasecki 2005; Rasmussen & Dybkjær 2005; Dybkjær & Rasmussen 2007). This article shows some results of a detailed dinoflagellate cyst stratigraphy, which is based on an extensive database (Fig. 1). We present here for the first time a dinoflagellate cyst zonation for the complete Neogene succession in the Danish area.
Use of geochemistry in groundwater vulnerability mapping in Denmark
Authors: Hansen Birgitte , Thorling Lærke
Published: May 2020

The principal aim of mapping ground-water vulnerability in Denmark is to ensure optimal protection of present and future drinking-water resources. Groundwater vulnerability mapping of areas up to 1000 km2 has been taking place over the past seven years. The scale of mapping has been adjusted to meet the demands for details of regulation of land use requested by Danish legislation. Groundwater vulnerability mapping comprises analyses and integration of geological, geophysical, hydrological and geochemical data. This paper focuses on the geochemical reactions between groundwater and sediment. Geochemical knowledge may sometimes not be fully and systematically utilised in groundwater vulnerability mapping. This paper presents different geochemical approaches and demonstrates how these can be successfully integrated with geological, geophysical and hydrological data.
Laser ablation analysis of bivalve shells – archives of environmental information
Authors: Hansen Klünder Maiken , Hippler Dorothee , Witbaard Rob , Frei Dirk
Published: May 2020

Reconstructing past secular environmental variations is an important issue in palaeoclimate research. However, most key variables for palaeoclimate reconstructions cannot be measured directly, and reconstructions are therefore based on proxy data. Here, we demonstrate the potential of bivalve shells as an archive of environmental parameters. The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has developed a fast and reliable method for chemical analyses of shell material by laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), and here we present some examples of the use of this method. In tropical and subtropical waters, corals can provide century-long archives of past water chemistry with annual resolution. A comparable archive for temperate and Arctic waters would be highly useful in climate research, and therefore it has been examined whether this can be provided by bivalve shells (e.g. Schoene et al. 2005). Long-lived species may provide archives with annual resolution extending over several hundred years, whereas short-lived, fast-growing species can provide archives with a seasonal or in some cases daily resolution over a period of a few years. Most bivalves are sessile, and shells are commonly preserved as fossils. There are, however, a number of challenges related to the use of bivalves as proxy archives: (1) many proxies show species specific behaviour (Seed 1980); (2) only very few proxies are dependent on a single variable (Wefer et al. 1999); and (3) the effects of biology and ontogeny on the uptake of trace elements and stable isotope fractionation in shell carbonate are largely unknown and have to be evaluated empirically. Therefore, any potential proxy must be calibrated individually for each species of interest before it can be used. A large number of chemical analyses are needed to calibrate a proxy. These are commonly obtained by solution ICP-MS, in which sample preparation is time-consuming and labour-intensive. The use of LA-ICP-MS is therefore a considerable advance in bivalve shell proxy research, as it greatly reduces the effort needed for sample preparation. At the same time, the method requires less material for analysis, thus providing better spatial and hence temporal resolution. Proxies based on bivalve shell carbonate can be used in present-day environmental monitoring, and for environmental reconstructions from shells found as fossils. Shells from museum collections and shells found in archaeological middens can give information on historic and prehistoric environmental conditions (e.g. Carrell et al. 1987), and fossil shells can be used as archives of environmental parameters on geological timescales (e.g. Hendry et al. 2001).

Bilişim ve iletişim teknolojisinde yaşanan gelişmelerin kişisel verilerin biriktirilmesini, onlara ulaşılmasını ve onların analiz edilmesini kolaylaştırması, unutulma hakkı adı verilen yeni bir hakkı gündeme getirmiştir. Terimin yarattığı ilk izlenime rağmen, bu hakkın bir insan hakkı olarak görülmediği açıktır. Ancak insan doğası ve bireyin kendisiyle ilgili bilgilerin geleceğini belirleme otonomisi ile doğrudan ilişkili olan bu hakkın bir insan hakkı olarak kabul edilmesi günümüz dünyası açısından elzemdir. Söz konusu hakkın, Google v. Spain kararının ardından çeşitli uluslararası belgelerde düzenlenmesi, Google’ın unutulma hakkına yönelik talepleri dikkate almaya başlaması ve muhalefet şerhlerinde de olsa Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi kararlarında hakkı ifade eden terime yer verilmesi bu anlamda önemli bir gelişmedir. Bununla birlikte unutulma hakkının insan hakkı olarak kabul edilmesinin önünde teorik ve pratik pek çok engel bulunmaktadır.

Published: May 2020

Organizational culture has attracted attention in research, as it affects not only the performance of employees, but also the overall efficiency and sustainability of the entire organization. An analysis of the organizational culture in textile companies is a problem that can be solved using the multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM). The interest in analyzing organizational culture comes from the fact that culture influences the behavior of members of the organization, decision-making and the setting of strategic goals. Companies can confront the challenges in nowdays by choosing a strong and stable organizational culture. An approach based on the AHP method is proposed to solve this complex problem in this paper. The AHP method is convinient for organizational culture analysing by Hofsted’s dimensions of national culture and determining the severity of the criteria. The usability and effectiveness of the AHP approach has been considered in the empirical application of the proposed method for selecting an organizational culture in textile companies in Serbia.

In order to obtain the textile materials with potential for use in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions, this study
approached the laboratory experiments related to depositing by padding of oil-in-water emulsions type based on
chitosan-propolis-cinnamon essential oil. In this regard, seven experimental variants of emulsions were prepared and
then characterized by specific methods from physical-chemical and stability point of view. The chitosan-propolis-
cinnamon essential oil-based emulsions were then immobilized on a knitted textile structure from 100% organic cotton.
The functionalized textile materials were characterized from morphological and antibacterial activity point of view. pH
values obtained for the synthesized polymeric systems were in the range 4.67–4.88 and electrical conductivity of the
emulsions increases with the concentration of the hydrophilic phase in the system, the highest values were registered
for the emulsion code R4CSP developed with the smallest volume fraction of water. The stability index over a period of
10 days indicated that emulsions are stable, not showing the presence of one of the flocculation, creaming /
sedimentation, coalescence or Ostwald ripening phenomena. The highest values of emulsifying activity index were
obtained for the R7CSP, emulsion developed with the smallest volume fraction of water. The highest value of viscosity
was obtained for the experimental variant R4CSP in which the highest volume fraction of chitosan and the smallest
volume fraction of water were used. The textile materials treated with synthesized emulsions based on chitosan-
propolis-cinnamon essential oil have antibacterial effect against the S. aureus test strain, with inhibition zones between
1.5 mm (R2CSP and R7CSP) and 4 mm (R6CSP).

Authors: Zhang Hao , Chen Shengbing , Liu Zongzheng , Song Yubao , Xiao Yong
Published: May 2020

To overcome the traditional problem of blocking low-frequency noise, this letter proposes a design of large-scale metamaterial panel with periodic tunable resonant cell arrays. Numerical calculations show that the tunable metamaterial panels exhibit multiple local resonance mechanisms, which result in sound transmission loss (STL) improvements over traditional mass law in low-frequency regions. The effective dynamic mass density and the tunability of sound insulation performance are further examined. Moreover, large-scale tunable metamaterial panel samples with 36 (6 × 6) unit cells are fabricated. And experimental measurements of sound insulation performance are conducted to validate the theoretical predictions.
Coherent epitaxial growth of superconducting NbN ultrathin films on AlN by sputtering
Authors: Kobayashi Atsushi , Ueno Kohei , Fujioka Hiroshi
Published: May 2020

We investigated the structural and electrical properties of superconducting NbN films epitaxially grown on AlN single-crystalline films using a sputtering technique. The NbN(111) films grown on AlN under optimized temperatures exhibited clear peaks with Pendellösung fringes attributed to the growth of the atomically flat surfaces in 2θ/ω X-ray diffraction patterns. Scanning transmission electron microscopy also confirmed the formation of sharp NbN/AlN interfaces. Reciprocal space mapping revealed that the NbN films were coherently grown on the AlN templates, which indicates that the NbN films have the same in-plane lattice constants as AlN. It was also determined that the shape of the unit cell of NbN depends strongly on the epitaxial growth temperature. The NbN films coherently grown on AlN exhibited superconducting transition temperatures (T
c) ranging from 12 to 16 K, which also depends on the epitaxial growth temperature. These results indicate that the epitaxial strain (or change in crystal structure) in NbN modifies T
c.

The convective drying process is used to dry onion-slices. The drying experiments are conducted at a drying temperature of 50oC, 60oC, 70oC, and at an air velocity of 1.99, 3.54, 5.66, and 7.52 m/s. The objective is to study the influence of tray position on drying of dark red onion. The work diverges in analyzing drying constants at air velocity beyond 2 m/s. The moisture ratio for the middle tray is greater compared to the top and bottom tray. A smaller moisture ratio is observed for 60°C compared to 50 and 70°C. Moisture removal per unit mass flow rate ratio is lowest observed for bottom tray with 60°C. The ratio of moisture content and mass flow rate for 60 and 70 °C, displays a downward trend with drying time. The randomness in the drying rate at 60 °C and 70 °C is comparatively lesser than 50 °C.

In today’s era, the large amount of data’s are stored in cloud. But nowadays securely storing data to the cloud is an important task. But the unauthorized parties are tries to decrypt the data from the cloud. So, the data stored in cloud should be secure from any malicious activities. Based on these requests, we propose a framework named reversible data hiding (RDH). It mainly works on encrypted images based on reversible image transformation (RIT). The server insert data into the cloud. On that time, he will add some additional information for the protection of data. In the given framework, the original data can be embedded in another image named carrier image with equal size. So, the hacker tries to pullout the data, he will only get the carrier image. So we can accommodate more data’s into a single storage space. The method picks the data to be hide and a carrier image with equal size. The cover image is embedded into the original image based on the LSB insertion algorithm. i.e., the original data’s are dissolved into the carrier image using a secret hiding key. The cover image is encrypted using blow fish encryption algorithm. It includes normal RDH method and RDH with RIT. Using RIT, it gives high visual quality and security. The technique is mainly used in medical imagery, military imagery for reliable data storage.

Authorship attribution analysis is a research field that assigns an author to an unknown text based on writing features. These features reflect the author’s gender, age, religion, education, job, motivation or ideology. It has several types of features such as character, lexical, Syntactic, Structural and Semantic. This research proposed using Arabic ontology as a semantic feature in authorship attribution through a proposed new model. In the Islamic society, there is a problem in detecting unknown fatwa to specific jurisprudence doctrine so this research proposed a new model for detecting unknown fatwa to specific jurisprudence doctrine. This model depends on a new corpus which is manually collected and annotated fatwas from books of Islamic jurisprudence doctrines. This corpus is called ElWafaa LlFokahaa. It includes the fatwas of traveller's prayer for main Islamic doctrines (Hanfi, Shafie, Malki, and Hanbali). The proposed model used Arabic ontology for traveller's prayer in each Islamic doctrine which is established with protégé framework. It is divided into a training set in 70% of fatwas (known fatwas the owing Islamic jurisprudence doctrines) and 30% testing set (unknown fatwas of Islamic jurisprudence doctrines). For evaluating the proposed model, it is used the proposed evaluated method which is 90% with final experiments.

This paper presents a Cohen Kappa Reliability Factor-based Mitigation Mechanism (CKRFMM) for enabling trustworthy detection of Byzantine nodes. This detection process is achieved by estimating the reliability of the mobile nodes calculated through Cohen Kappa Reliability Factor (CKRF). CKRFMM reconfirms the byzantine behavior of active mobile nodes through Pareto function. Pareto function is a predominant re-test reliability estimator available in the classical theory of statistics. The simulation experimentation conducted using ns-2 of the CKRFMM is determined to be excellent in reducing energy consumptions, network delay compared to the benchmarked byzantine node detection schemes considered for investigation.

In present days, the domain of mitral valve (MV) diagnosis so common due to the changing lifestyle in day to day life. The increased number of MV disease necessitates the development of automated disease diagnosis model based on segmentation and classification. This paper makes use of deep learning (DL) model to develop a MV classification model to diagnose the severity level. For the accurate classification of ML, this paper applies the DL model called convolution neural network (CNN-MV) model. And, an edge detection based segmentation model is also applied which will helps to further enhance the performance of the classifier. Due to the non-availability of MV dataset, we have collected a MV dataset of our own from a total of 211 instances. A set of three validation parameters namely accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are applied to indicate the effective operation of the CNN-MV model. The obtained simulation outcome pointed out that the presented CNN-MV model functions as an appropriate tool for MV diagnosis.

In agriculture, large-scale farming and feeding of effective organic nutrients to plants, in wide-ranging irrigation field becomes a serious scenario faced by majority of sectors in present agricultural system. In present, adapting the method of irrigation and continuous monitoring of irrigation system in agricultural field is becoming difficult for the farmers in adverse situations. The main intention of this paper is to feed the crops with organic nutrient content and to automate the continuous monitoring of water level, temperature, salt content present in water using Internet of Things (IoT). An IOT based Organic Drip Fertigation system mainly helps the farmers to automatically sense the difficulties that may occur due to the presence of salt content in water also automates fertigation method (the usage of organic nutrients) to make comparatively high yield than the ordinary methods. As a result, the proposed system helps in reducing soil erosion as only the required nutrients are injected via the drip system in order to reduce the usage of chemical fertilizers. In this paper, we use Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify three (Temperature, Ph, Flow) feature vectors. The classification results will predict whether the obtained data is normal or abnormal and explore the accuracy of classification prediction by using SVM. Finally, the classification result obtained by applying SVM is uploaded to the ThingSpeak cloud.

Generally, air pollution refer to the release of various pollutants into the air which are threatening the human health and planet as well. The air pollution is the major dangerous vicious to the humanity ever faced. It causes major damage to animals, plants etc., if this keeps on continuing, the human being will face serious situations in the upcoming years. The major pollutants are from the transport and industries. So, to prevent this problem major sectors have to predict the air quality from transport and industries .In existing project there are many disadvantages. The project is about estimating the PM2.5 concentration by designing a photograph based method. But photographic method is not alone sufficient to calculate PM2.5 because it contains only one of the concentration of pollutants and it calculates only PM2.5 so there are some missing out of the major pollutants and the information needed for controlling the pollution .So thereby we proposed the machine learning techniques by user interface of GUI application. In this multiple dataset can be combined from the different source to form a generalized dataset and various machine learning algorithms are used to get the results with maximum accuracy. From comparing various machine learning algorithms we can obtain the best accuracy result. Our evaluation gives the comprehensive manual to sensitivity evaluation of model parameters with regard to overall performance in prediction of air high quality pollutants through accuracy calculation. Additionally to discuss and compare the performance of machine learning algorithms from the dataset with evaluation of GUI based user interface air quality prediction by attributes.

A framework of a network explains the application of the system. In cooperative framework design, model and architecture is the issued context of dynamic topology. The topology of the network continuously changes when the nodes are moving. There are different topologies and routing protocols that are running frontally and at backsides considered in the paper. We have done deep analysis on various protocols and network architecture of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle). Some different characteristics have been taken to explain the unmanned aerial vehicle as example. There are multiple factors and different scenarios that acknowledge the operability of cooperative network. In addition, the paper has been designed in such a way that it defines different aspects of cooperative networks. Collaboration and cooperation are the networking tasks for the multiple groups of nodes that combine and provide a reliable connectivity between the nodes. Flying ad hoc network (FANET) is the same name of unmanned aerial vehicle that are flying with the dynamic environment and can identify the ground node to send information. This is important task for the aerial nodes that are continuously flying in the air and send data collected from particular area. So, every task is important for accomplished task such as coordination and cooperation of all the nodes. This paper overall has focused on deep analysis of the taxonomy for unmanned aerial vehicle in the real environment.

Biomedical imaging shows a substantial role in the era for diagnosis of cancer. Ultrasound (US) imaging modality is widely used in comparison to other modalities for disease diagnosis because it not being or involve in invasive medical procedure. US is a real-time imaging modality, economically, reliable and not uses harmful radiation during the diagnosis. The noise present in US, reduces the visuality and quality of US images is called speckle noise. It degrades the fine details of US image which causes difficulty in effective feature calculation, analysis and edge detection. Speckle noise effects image interpretation and causes misdiagnosis due to bed quality of the images. Many speckle noise reduction techniques have been investigated by various researchers for noise free images. In this paper, a detailed overview about different despeckling filters is presented with different evaluation parameters. This study will help the researchers to select efficient despeckling technique for preprocessing of US images.

In the banking sector, every banking infrastructure contains an enormous dataset for customers’ credit card approval which requires customer profiling. The customer profiling means collection of data related to what customers need. It depends on customers’ basic information like field of work, address proof, credit score, salary details, etc. This process mainly concentrates on predicting approval of credit cards to customers using machine learning. Machine Learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computers use to perform specific tasks without any external instructions or interference. In the current trend this process is possible using many algorithms like “K-Mean, Improved K-Mean and Fuzzy C-Means”. This helps banks to have an high profitability to satisfy their customers. However, the currently prevailing system shows an accuracy percentage of about 98.08%. The proposed system aims at improvising the accuracy ratio while using only few algorithms.

This study explains the performance of the proposed grouted sleeve connector with internal Grooves within the sleeve beneath incremental tensile load until failure. In this study, a series of twelve grouted sleeve splice with grooves (GSSG) were tested experimentally beneath incremental tensile load until failure to determine their feasibilities. The connector utilized mild steel pipe as sleeve where the sleeve comprises internal grooves with differing height and width .The mild steel pipe and the grooves are utilized to confine and strengthen the grout and the two dis continued bars joined end-to-end configuration within the sleeve. The specimens are studied and evaluated based on two major aspects; (a) ultimate tensile capacities, whether it is higher than 125% of the specified yield strength, (b) failure modes, The test shows up that, there are two modes of failure which were bar to grout failure and bar broken outside the sleeve. Sex examples out of twelve shows up palatable comes about since it failed due to bar broken outside the sleeve and fulfill palatable ultimate tensile capacity. The stiffness and the ductility of the connectors additionally fulfill. It is found that the grooves on the sleeves are essential to interlock with the confined grout, resisting it from slipping out of the sleeve. The test appears that the performance of the grouted sleeve connector with grooves was represented by grout-bar bond, anchorage length and control action given by the sleeve and the grooves . Possibility consider for tried grouted sleeves detailing their adequacy in agreement with the code arrangements of ACI 318-14 and ECP 203-2018 is displayed. Besides, design equations capturing the parameters influencing the bond strength, the confining pressure, grooves , and the specified embedment length are determined.
