We synthesized two solid dye mixtures with Coumarin-545 and Rhodamine-6G without a drying step, but it showed the comparable spectral and material properties with other reported solid dyes, despite a simplified synthesizing process. Coumarin-545 was selected as donor dye, because its fluorescence spectrum was well coincided to the absorption spectrum of Rhodamine-6G, for efficient energy transfer mechanism. We investigated the spectral characteristics with two molarities of 0.1 mM and 0.3 mM of Coumarin-545, at fixed molarity of 0.1 mM of Rhodamine-6G. The fluorescence peak and spectral width of the first one, 0.1 mM molarity for both dyes, appeared at 556 nm and 63 nm, which were 4 nm shorter and 16 nm wider than those of Rhodamine-6G only, respectively. On the other hand, the second one, 0.3 mM molarity for donor, showed 555 nm and 61 nm in their fluorescence peak and spectral width, respectively, which were also 5 nm shorter and 14 nm broader than those of Rhodamine-6G only. The second solid dye mixture showed a little shorter fluorescence peak and a narrower spectral width, compared to the first one. Maximum temperature at the spot where the sample is irradiated by a pumping laser source is investigated. The first one showed the maximum temperature raised from 30°C to 38°C, when a pumping laser power increases from 50 mW to 200 mW. On the other hand, the maximum temperature of the second one raised from 34°C to 53°C, when an output power of the source increases from 50 mW to 200 mW, due to larger absorption of pumping power than the first one.

Recovery of soil organic matter and mineral nutrient cycling are critical to the success of rehabilitation process of replanted forest. We investigated the dynamic changes in soil of selected physicochemical properties including organic carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) of replanted forest rehabilitation that had been previously disturbed by anthropogenic activities. Soil samples were collected from the rehabilitated forest of three ages stands (3-, 12- and 23-years old) while samples from adjacent secondary forest was collected for comparison. Altogether, 36 samples were taken randomly with a soil auger at depths of 0-20 cm from a plot of 20 × 20 m 2 at each site. Soils were analyzed for pH, bulk density, C, N, P and S. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using ANOVA with Tukey’s test performed by SAS 9.2 at P ≤ 0.05. Results showed that total C, N, P, C/N ratio and C/S ratio increased with age of rehabilitated forest except for pH, S and C/P ratio. Forest rehabilitation by planting indigenous tree species has shown a potential of recovery, but further investigation into the process control of the dynamic changes of soil physicochemical properties, particularly in the event of further ecosystem disturbance is needed.

Stone columns are a more economical and efficient method to enhance the strength of expansive soils. Using a granular blanket over the top of the ordinary stone columns (OSC) improves the drainage and distribution of the applied stress impending from the superstructure. The present study studied the effect of geogrid layers in a granular blanket (GB) over the top of the OSC numerically using 'PLAXIS 2D'. 'Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion was deliberated for the stone column, granular blanket, expansive soil, and elastoplastic behavior is considered for geogrid layers as reinforcement. Present review results are validated with the experimental results and agree greatly. Numerical results show that the construction of a GB with a geogrid layer over the stone column increases stress transformation to the depth of OSC. Thus 'stress concentration' is decreased in the higher zone of the OSC. Likewise, assessing the impact of geogrid layers in a granular blanket on the 'bearing capacity and settlement of OSC, it was observed that it reduces the lateral bulging, settlement and increases the ground's bearing capacity.

Twenty-four circular Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns divided in to three series based on their cross-sectional dimensions were subjected to uni-axial compression and their behaviour is studied. This paper aims to develop the volume of experimental database as there is shortage in data that can assess the guidance from the codes and enhances their accuracy in determining the ultimate capacities and the behaviour of CFST specimens subjected to uni axial compression. This study consists of CFST specimens having outer diameter of 76 mm, 89 mm and 100 mm with same wall thickness of 3 mm having four Length to Diameter (L/D) ratios of 3, 4, 5 and 6. Impact of D/t on the parameters like confinement (ξ), strength index (SI), relative slenderness ratio (λ), percentage contribution of steel and concrete and ductility index (DI) were studied. Further, the axial compressive load values were compared with the predicted design values of codes, namely, Eurocode – 4 (EC4), American code (AISC 360-10), Australian code (AS5100), Chinese code (DBJ13-51) and American Concrete Institute (ACI-318). A design equation is proposed to calculate the ultimate axial load and the predicted results are near to the test results. To check the accuracy of the proposed equation, experimental results of 63 CFST circular columns from the literatures were compared with proposed equation and found the results to be conservative. At last, finite element analysis using ABAQUS was done to study the behaviour of column buckling, axial load and displacement curves. Results showed good agreement with experimental test results.

Tetrapak waste is one of the most abundant wastes in the world. It consists of layers of paper, LDPE, and aluminium foil. It is difficult to recycle, however it can be converted into valuable gaseous fuel if processed by microwave heat using a dual reactor catalytic process, SiC as microwave absorber, and natural zeolite as catalyst. The sample was pyrolyzed at different Microwave Output Power (MOP) levels (300, 450, 600, and 800 W) and Catalytic Temperatures (CT) levels (350, 400, 450, and 500°C) for 30 minutes. The results showed that the MOP and CT levels positively affect the increase of the yield and improve the heating value of the gas product. For instance, at 800 W, the gas yield increased from 73 wt.% in the process without catalyst to 78 wt.% in the catalytic temperature of 500°C. The same effect occurred when various MOP levels were used. The gas yield increased when the MOP level raised. H 2 , CH 4 , CO, CO 2 , and other hydrocarbons with low molecular weights (C 2+ ) are the major components of gas products. The presence of catalyst, an increase in CT, and a rise in MOP all boosted the generation of syngas (H 2 + CO) up to 54.55 wt.%. The gas yields from this experiment have a LHV of 21.97–23.46 MJ/m 3 and total energy of 34.59–171.24 kJ. The high-quality gaseous products can be used as alternative fuels or feed gas for chemical synthesis.
