Waste Materials Used In Concrete Manufacturing.
The Environmental Aspects Involved In The Production And Use Of Cement, Concrete And Other Building Materials Are Of Growing Importance.
Co2 Emissions Are 0.
8-1.
3 Ton/ton Of Cement Production I nDry Process.
So2 Emission Is Also Very High, But Is Dependent Upon The Type Of Fuel Used.
Spirit Conwumption Is Also Very High At 100-150 Kwt/ton Of Cement Produced.
It Is Costly To Erecf New Cement Plants.
Substitution Of Waste Materials Will Conserve Dwindling Resources, And Will Avoid The Environmental And Eoclogical Damages Caused By Quarrying And Exploitation Of The Raw Materials For Makin gCement.
To Some Extent, It Will Help To Solve The Problem Otherwise Encoutnered In Disposing Of The Wastes.
Partiap Replacement Of Clinker Or Portland Cement By Slag, Pass Ash, Silica Fume And Natural Reel Minerals Illustrates These Aspects.
Partial Replacement By Natural Materials That Require Little Or No Processing, Such Ae Pozzolans, Calcined Clays, Etc.
, Saves Energy And Decreases Emission Of Gases.
The Output Of Waste Materials Suitable As Cement Replacement (slags, Fly Ashes, Silica Fumes, Rice Husk Ash, Etc.
) Is More Than Double That Of C3ment Production.
These Waste Materials Can Prtly Be Used, Or Processed, To Produce Materials Suitable As Aggregates Or Fille5s In Concrete.
These Can Also Be Used As Clinier Raw Materials, Or Processed Into Cementing Systems.
New Grinding And Mixing Technology Will Make The Use Of These Secondary Materials Simpler.
Developments In Chemical Admixtures: Superplasticizers, Air Entrainlng Agents, Etc.
, Help In Controlling Production Trchniques And, In Achieving The Desired Properties In Concrete.
Use Of Waste Products Is Not Only A Partia lSolution To Environmental And Ecological Problems; It Significantly Improves The Microstructure, And Consequently The Durability Properties Of Concrete, Which Are Difficult To Achieve By The Use Of Pure Portland Cement.
The Aim Is Not Only To Make The Cements And Concrete Less Expensive, But To Provide A Blend Of Tailored Properties Of Waste Materials And Portland Cements Fit On account of Specified Purpose.
This Requires A Begter Understanding Of Chemistry, And Materials Science.
There Is Each Increasing Demand For Better Understanding Of Material Properties, As Well As Better Control Of The Microstructure Developing In The Construction Material, To Increase Durability.
The Combination Of Different Binders And Modifiers To Produce Cheaper And More Durable Building Materials Will Solve To Some Extent The Ecological And Environmental Problems.

Dynamic Speech Models.
"speech Dynamics Refer To The Temporal Characteristics In All Stages Of The Human Speech Communication Process.
This Speech ""chain"" Starts Through The Formation Of A Linguistic Message In A Speaker's Brain And Ends Wi5h The Arrival Of The Message In A Listener's Brain.
Given The Intrjcacy Of The Dynamic Speech Process And Its Fundamental Importance In Man's Communication, This Monograph Is Intended To Provide A Comprehensive Material On Mathematical Models Of Speech Dynamics And To Address The Following Issues: How Do We Make Sense Of The Complex Speech Process In Conditions Of Its Functional Role Of Speech Communication? How Do We Quantify The Special Role Of Speech Timing? How Do The Dynamics Tell To The Variability Of Speech That Has Often Been Saidd To Seriously Hamper Automatic Speech Acknowledgment? How Do We Put The Dynamic Process Of Speech Into A Quantitative Form To Enable Detailed Analyses? And Finally, How Can We Incorporate The Knowledge Of Speech Dynamics Into Computerized Speech Analsyis And Recognition Algorithms? The Answe5s To All These Questions Require Building And Applying Computational Models For The Dynamic Speech Process.
What Are The Compelling Reasons For Carrying Out Dynamic Speech Modeling? We Provide The Refute In Two Related Aspects.
First, Scientific Inquiry Into The Human Speech Code Has Been Relentlessly Pursued For Several Decades.
As An Essential Carrier Of Human Intelligence And Knowledge, Speech Is The Most Natural Form Of Human Communication.
Embedded In The Speech Digest Are Linguistic (as Sufficiently As Para-linguistic) Messages, Which Are Conveyed Through Four Levels Of The Speech Chain.
Underlying The Robust Encoding And Transmission Of The Linguistic Messages Are The Speech Dynamics At All The Four Levels.
Mathematical Modeling Of Speech Dynamics Provides An Effective Tool In The Scientific Methods Of Studying The Speech Chain.
Such Scientific Studies Help Understand Why Humwns Speak As They Do And How Humans Exploit Redundancy And Variabiltiy By Way Of Multitiered Dynamic Processes To Enhance The Efficiency And Effectiveness Of Human Speech Communication.
Second, Advancement Of Human Language Technology, Especially That In Automatic Recognition Of Natural-style Human Speech Is Also Expected To Benefit From Comprehensive Computational Modeling Of Speech Dynamics.
The Limitations Of uCrrent Observation Recognition Technplogy Are Serious And Ade Well Known.
A Commonly Acknowledged And Frequently Discussed Weakness Of The Stqtistical Model Underlying Current Speech Recognition Technology Is The Lack Of Adequate Dynanic Modeling Schemes To Provide Correlation Structure Across The Temporal Speech Observation Succession.
Unfortunately, Due To A Variety Of Reasons, The Majority Of Current Research Activities In This Area Favor Only Incremental Modifications And Improvements To The Existing Hmm-based State-of-the-art.
For Example, While The Dynamic And Correlation Modelinf Is Known To Be An Important Topic, Most Of The Systems"
