Brains Behind Broadcast Behavior-The Science of British WWII Homefront Propoganda
Authors: Schrader Abigail , Appleford Simon 
Published: September 2020

From 1939-1943 Britain’s prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill, was set on persuading the British to continue fighting in WWII, so that Hitler would not be able to subjugate Great Britain, as he had already done with a great majority of Europe. Public support was needed, so the government embarked on a massive propaganda campaign aimed at persuading the British people to do everything necessary to support and aid the war effort. The propaganda took many forms: political rhetoric, music, posters, postcards, advertisements, and newspapers. Together these disparate media represent not just the basis of the British government’s effort to influence public opinion regarding the war effort, but contributed to the establishment of a distinct material culture. The propagandistic material culture was designed and distributed tactically, with the behavioral effects of the people in mind. “We had to go. We had to defend ourselves. If it hadn’t been for Churchill then, and the way people fought —it was very much in the balance at times —whether we were going to win, because Germany had been banking up on ammunition and planes and ships and things. We really were against it” (Interview, June 2016, Oxford –a young teen during WWII).
Investigation of Modulus of Elasticity and Surface Electrical Resistivity in High Performance Concrete(HPC) Using Natural Zeolite
Authors: Modha Nidhi , Ghosh Pratanu 
Published: September 2020

Due to severe weathering problems in nation’s concrete infrastructures namely bridges and pavements, it has become very important to develop high performance concrete (HPC). HPC generally increases the durability against the chloride induced corrosion as well as long term strength. Currently, a natural pozzolanic cementitious material known as natural zeolite, a crystalline hydrated alumino-silicate processed (volcanic ash) mineral, is being used for enhancing the performance of HPC. The purpose of this study is to investigate long term durability and modulus of elasticity of zeolite based HPC to enhance the performance and serviceability of reinforced concrete bridges and pavements. In this study, several HPC mixtures are prepared by replacing cement with different percentage level of zeolite (10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%). Different types of binary (Cement + Zeolite) and ternary (Cement + Zeolite + other cementitious material) based concrete mixtures including the control mixture (100% Cement) with water to total cementitious material ratio of 0.4 and 0.44 are made. Two different types of experiments namely modulus of elasticity and corrosion durability investigation (surface electrical resistivity) are conducted on concrete samples at 7, 28, 56 and 91 days. The main purpose of 4-point Wenner Probe resistivity meter is to investigate surface electrical resistivity of concrete which provides indirect indication of chloride induced corrosion. In addition, modulus of elasticity is related to stiffness and strength of concrete and it widely used in design of reinforcement concrete structures. The compressometer is utilized for measurement of modulus of elasticity indirectly through evaluating deformation and strain of concrete samples. Overall, zeolite based concrete mixtures with water to total cementitious material ratio (W/C) at 0.40 provides promising results in terms of modulus of elasticity and durability. Further, substitution of zeolite with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete mixtures, will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and promotes sustainability.

Published: September 2020

Nowadays in developed and developing countries, disposal of ceramic waste is becoming one of the major problem. According to varies research done on the ceramic waste, the percentage of waste generated from the production is about 15-30%, further to the waste introduced from the construction field. In addition, reuse or recycle of ceramic waste is negligible. In this research an attempt was done to reuse the ceramic waste in concrete, the cement was partially replaced with the ceramic waste with proportion of 10%, 20% and 30% from the cement weight for M25 grade concrete. The ceramic waste was collected from ceramic factories as well as from construction sites. The results illustrate that the compressive strength of the concrete with ceramic waste is greater than the compressive strength in the conventional concrete. The main advantages of reuse ceramic wastes as a building material are reduce the cost of concrete (economic factor) and minimize environmental impact (environmental factor). This is one of the alternative method for implementing the sustainable concept in the construction field

Authors: K Shamganth , Al-Shabibia Said Shafi Abdullah 
Published: September 2020

Device-to-device (D2D) communications underlayed to a cellular infrastructure has recently been proposed to increase spectrum and energy efficiency. Relay selection plays a vital role in cooperative networks. In D2D communication, if the chosen relay is not the best relay, then the whole communication will not be successful from source node to destination node. Also to choose the optimal relays, if more feedback and time delay exists between the source nodes and relay node then it leads to degradation of spectral efficiency. A survey on the relay selection techniques used with D2D communications and the challenges and design issues associated with the integration of D2D in 5G cellular network is presented.
