Abstract: A method for determining a consistency coefficient of a power-law cement grout includes: determining a water-cement ratio of the power-law cement grout; according to engineering practice requirements, determining a time required to determine the consistency coefficient of the power-law cement grout; and obtaining the consistency coefficient of the power-law cement grout. The method is accurate and reliable, requires less calculation, etc.; and has very high practical value and popularization value in environmental protection and ecological restoration.

Abstract: A method for determining a three-dimensional tortuosity of a loose and broken rock-soil mass, includes the following steps: a particle grading curve of the loose and broken rock-soil mass is obtained by utilizing a particle size analysis, and followed by calculating an equivalent particle size and an average particle size; a porosity of the loose and broken rock-soil mass is obtained by utilizing a moisture content test, a density test, and a specific gravity test; the three-dimensional tortuosity of the loose and broken rock-soil mass is obtained by utilizing the equivalent particle size, the average particle size and the porosity of the loose and broken rock-soil mass. The method has the advantages of simple logic, accuracy and reliability, simple and fast parameter determination, and has high practical value and promotion value in the field of environmental protection and ecological restoration technology.

Abstract: A device and algorithm for allowing a customer to choose a photo book cover template that is compatible with a photo having faces. The photo is compared with a set of templates arranged in a first order to determine how compatible the photo is to each of the templates, and a score indicative of compatibility is assigned. A re-sorted set of compatible templates combined with the photo is presented to the customer for consideration.

Abstract: Domain Name System (DNS) requests can be routed to either a private DNS server or a public DNS server based on a determination made by a DNS classifier. The private DNS server allows customers to use custom DNS names for internal resources without exposing the names or IP addresses to the public Internet.
