SUSTAINABLE IMPLEMENTATION OF NATURAL STONE WASTE AS CEMENT REPLACEMENT TOWARDS OPTIMIZED CONCRETE
Get PDFEl-Shafie, Y.M. (2023). "Sustainable implementation of natural stone waste as cement replacement towards optimized concrete", In: "Environmental Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)", Wang, L.K., Wang, M.H.S., and Pankivskyi, Y.I. (Series Editors). 129 pages. May 2023. Lenox Institute Press, Auburndale, Massachusetts, USA. https://doi.org/10.17613/5vdn-4f05 ..... ABSTRACT: The main prospective is the natural characteristics of the stones. Thus, the optimal exploitation corresponds to their potentials and use possibilities. Ornamental stones include marble, granite and other refined stone types. The use of natural stones encompasses the extraction, transportation, manufacturing (sawing, polishing and cutting operations), shredding, installation and disposal process, which is a burden on the environment and causes health issues, in addition to economic issues. The process of recycling waste from the global industries is very profitable. However, waste is still not exploited in the best way on the industrial and investment level. Thus, the generated stone waste could be implemented in concrete composites in different additive percentage in order to rationalize the use of natural resources. The approach is to capacitate the concrete to absorb other industries waste and by-products. Therefore, the use of stone waste powder has a synergic effect positively on the environment, flora and fauna in addition to reducing the carbon footprint of cement, as a result of less energy consumption

Concept Mapping + Library Instruction for Design Students
No full textConcept mapping (or mind mapping) as a flexible, creative practice that can be useful for connecting students in design programs with research. There are many applications for information literacy instruction, and concept mapping can also be used to foster creativity in research and to center the researcher and the choices they will make throughout the research process. Examples from concept mapping exercises with students in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning classes are included, along with a literature review on concept mapping in libraries and with design students. Presented as part of the “Imagination in Action: Creativity in the Library and Classroom” session at the ARLIS/NA 2023 annual conference

Messages for: "Artificial Intelligence for Health Message Generation: An Empirical Study Using a Large Language Model (LLM) and Prompt Engineering"
No full textThis study introduces and examines the potential of an AI system to generate health awareness messages. The topic of folic acid, a vitamin that is critical during pregnancy, served as a test case. We used prompt engineering to generate awareness messages about folic acid and compared them to the most retweeted human-generated messages via human evaluation with the university and young adult women samples. We also conducted computational text analysis to examine the similarities between the AI-generated messages and human generated tweets in terms of content and semantic structure. The results showed that AI-generated messages ranked higher in message quality and clarity across both samples. The computational analyses revealed that the AI-generated messages were on par with human-generated ones in terms of sentiment, reading ease, and semantic content. Overall, these results demonstrate the potential of large language models for message generation. Theoretical, practical, and ethical implications are discussed

No full textAlexa Alice Joubin received the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Award, which recognizes Professor Joubin’s “contributions to social justice and inclusive excellence ” that exemplify “the ideals that Dr. King espoused,” particularly “community-based social justice organizing rooted in non-violence.” The MLK Award comes on the heel of her bell hooks Legacy Award. On April 7, 2023, Alexa Alice Joubin was named the inaugural recipient of the bell hooks Legacy Award, also in 2023
