Abstract

This research work successfully reviewed twenty-five papers on waste rubber tyres and their related areas. The chemical and physical properties of concrete constituents such as cement, water, sand and rubber crumbs were reviewed together with their mix ratios. The use of Tyre Rubber Crumbs (TRC) to replace coarse aggregates makes concrete construction work cheaper and its low water absorption rate improves the concrete mix properties such as compressive strength and workability. Hence, in road pavement construction, the use of TRC in asphalt modification is the best and smartest innovation for sustainable development and waste material reuse. This research showed that waste TRC are very essential in the replacement of some aggregates in the construction industries resulting in very high-quality construction and as well minimize construction costs.

Abstract

Document files are files used to store documents on storage devices primarily for computer use. Software is used to view these files, displaying their text content in a legible way. However, it is essential to have programs for transforming electronic files into versions usable by those who suffer from specific disabilities. This paper reviewed fifteen published articles in the field of document file reading. It was observed from the review that various attempts have been made by different researchers in order to develop a software cable for converting document files that consist of text to an audio format. Text may now be easily translated into natural-sounding voice across many platforms using different software. It was observed from the systematic review that the use of AI such as the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 Turbo Large Language Model (LLM) technologies has the best performance because it does not end at producing a vocal sound that is similar to human own, but it also translates different languages. In conclusion, cross-platform document file reader (text-to-speech) synthesis has improved user experiences in a variety of applications such as language learning, audiobooks and virtual assistants.
