Fine recycled concrete aggregate as a material replacement in concrete production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
As a fast and rapid growing nation, Malaysia undergoes a lot of development especially in construction field. Most of the building nowadays are being made mainly using concrete as it provides many favorable features such as satisfactory compressive ...

A Quantum Non-demolition measurement of Fock states of mesoscopic mechanical oscillators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We investigate a scheme that makes a quantum non-demolition measurement of the excitation level of a mesoscopic mechanical oscillator by utilizing the anharmonic coupling between two elastic beam bending modes.

New Photodetection Method Using Unbalanced Sidebands for Squeezed Quantum Noise in Gravitational Wave Interferometer

open access: yes, 2002
Homodyne detection is one of the ways to circumvent the standard quantum limit for a gravitational wave detector. In this paper it will be shown that the same quantum-non-demolition effect using homodyne detection can be realized by heterodyne detection ...

"Joe Annie Street" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A short critical fiction, derived from my experience of the demolition of my studio & home on Joe Annie Street, Houston, TX, placed in the context of a political/philosophical reflection on the "destructive character" (Benjamin) and the performative ...

Integrating Deconstruction and Recycling Into the Demolition Process in Buffalo, NY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Buffalo’s Comprehensive Plan currently calls for the demolition of 10,000 buildings over a period of ten years. While demolition contractors may recycle a small percentage of the waste created from demolitions, the process generates a great deal of waste

Dephasing due to Intermode Coupling in Superconducting Stripline Resonators

open access: yes, 2005
The nonlinearity exhibited by the kinetic inductance of a superconducting stripline couples stripline resonator modes together in a manner suitable for quantum non-demolition measurement of the number of photons in a given resonator mode.

Sequestering atmospheric CO2 inorganically:a solution for Malaysia's CO2 emission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Malaysia is anticipating an increase of 68.86% in CO2 emission in 2020, compared with the 2000 baseline, reaching 285.73 million tonnes. A major contributor to Malaysia's CO2 emissions is coal-fired electricity power plants, responsible for 43.4% of the ...

Non-demolition measurements of observables with general spectra

open access: yes, 2017
It has recently been established that, in a non-demolition measurement of an observable $\mathcal{N}$ with a finite point spectrum, the density matrix of the system approaches an eigenstate of $\mathcal{N}$, i.e., it "purifies" over the spectrum of ...

The Potential of Deconstruction in Buffalo, New York [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Building deconstruction is not a novel idea but represents an ancient practice reinvented for our modern era. Deconstruction is an environmentally friendly (yet fiscally remunerative) alternative to traditional building demolition.

Enhancing the capacity and performance of collective atomic quantum memory

open access: yes, 2005
Present schemes involving the quantum non-demolition interaction between atomic samples and off-resonant light pulses allow us to store quantum information corresponding to a single harmonic oscillator (mode) in one multiatomic system.
