The design and development of ytterbium-doped fibre lasers (YDFLs) operating around 1018nm laser wavelength and pumped around 976nm has advanced in technology since the first ytterbium laser was tested in 1988. The fiber lasers are used in various sectors such as communications, material...

A number of research concerns have arisen in the concrete research community on the fire resistance of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) beams, despite their improved mechanical properties at ambient temperature. The traditional experimental approach to performance-based...

This dissertation investigates the effect of spectral efficiency as the number of service antennas and number of users in Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network increases. The channel estimators studied namely Zero Forcing (ZF), Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE)...

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material in the world and the construction industry is looking for ways of making concrete using greener methods so as to reduce ecological effects on the environment that come as a result of large scale exploitation of natural aggregates. The...
