 Abstract

Because of a substantial volume of commercial vehicles likely to use facility, the pavement structure has to receive careful consideration in design and choice of materials forming the pavement. Pavement costs constitute a significant proportion of total cost of highway facility. Hence, great care is needed in selecting right type of pavement and specification for the various courses that make up the pavement. The choice of pavement type, whether flexible or cement concrete, therefore, has to be very carefully exercised. Pavement associated traffic safety factors include skid resistance, drainability against hydroplaning, and night visibility. Cement concrete pavement has distinct initial advantage over bitumen pavement in this regard, as surface texturing forms integral part of the normal construction practice for such pavements. They also have superior night visibility by virtue of their lighter colour. Poorly designed and constructed concrete pavements are known to have very long service life. The cement concrete road constructed in the country in the past, though extremely limited in length, have an excellent service track, having given good service under condition much sever than those for which they are originally intended.

 Abstract

Sulphuric acid corrosion is challenging problem particularly in sewer environments. In many of the industries sulphuric acid is used during procedure, which can lead to decrease of strength of the concrete structures. Then, it is very important to construct durable concrete structures in such procedures. An experimental study was under taken to improve concrete resistance against sulphuric acid attack. Five concrete mixtures were used in the present project, first mix consists ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as a control mix and the second one consists 10% replacement of cement with silica fume. Third mix consists ordinary Portland cement with 10% ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and forth mix consists OPC with 15% replacement of GGBS. Other mixes contain OPC with 10% and 15% replacement of volcanic ash. The thick packing of siliceous aggregates and cement materials were used to achieve the high density of concrete. In the present project, concrete cubes, cylinders and prism were immersed in 15% sulphuric acid with pH=1.0. They were tested for compression test up to 90 days. The strength of other mixtures was better than the control mixture in terms of compression strength.

 Abstract

Empirical methods enhance our observations and help us see more of the structure of the world. We are fundamentally empirical creatures, always asking that What is going on? Is it real or merely apparent? What causes it? Is there a better explanation? That is why empirical method is the best method of research because of the observations made by the researcher at various stages. Empirical methods cluster loosely into exploratory techniques for summarization and exploration. There are grey areas while doing empirical research like people do not give much time to the researcher, hard to gain the trust of the people, difficult to get information from the people, it is an expensive research also, no quality legal research education in law schools, lack of good research instructors, and lack of good questionnaires and interviews due to lack of technological knowledge and communication gap etc.Researcher in empirical research must have a kind of politeness so that he can easily mix up with the people to get the information So, we can do better empirical research by taking all the above stated points into consideration. Law schools must put emphasis to enhance the quality of empirical research because it is far better than the other researches because of its direct link with the society and at the end we can better understand the deficiencies prevalent in the different societal groups and eradication of all these and then we can say that it is a qualitative and improved research.

 Abstract

Current social, political and economic scenario at large is causing a serious challenge to the spirit of religious pluralism both at local and International level. The ongoing first quarter of 21st century is enriched with technological advancement and other positive transformation in almost every field however the present day world order continues to suffer from narrow minded practices of religious intolerance, religious terrorism, religious fundamentalism and many more such related issues. It is in this context that it is important to explore social and religious practices to ensure social harmony and to make global village free from theses evil. Sikh philosophy in general and particularly Sikhism as a modern religion has a vast potential to guide the humanity for peaceful co-existence in a multicultural society. Sikhism is living legacy of actually practicing and adopting high ideals mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib Je to enrich and promote spirit of religious pluralism worldwide.

 Abstract

Vision is a beautiful gift to human beings by GOD. Vision allows people to perceive and understand the surrounding world. Till date blind people struggle a lot to live their miserable life. Their problems have made them to lose their hope to live in this competing society. Global estimate of the number of visually impaired people according to World Health Organization survey made in 2010 is 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide. Numerous technical aids that have been developed through recent decades for the orientation and mobility that makes the lives of the blind easier. For doing so, sonar input and camera input systems are offered.Assistive devices are a key aspect in wearable systems for biomedical applications, as they represent potential aids for people with physical and sensory disabilities that might lead to improvements in the quality of life.

 Abstract

A novel combination of film forming suspension based on Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaf mucilage has been standardized. The film forming suspension was subjected to wet solvent processing method to prepare edible biodegradable films. The developed films were subjected to physico-chemical characterisation, microstructure and in vitro bioactivity studies. The prepared films showed ideal properties for most of them, including folding endurance, tensile strength, per cent elongation, water vapour barrier properties, light transmittance and moisture content. The films were found to be transparent which is best for product visibility. FTIR spectral studies indicated increased interactive stability in the mucilage based film. The film forming suspensions were also found to exhibit antibacterial activity. Thus, it could be concluded that the developed films have ideal properties to be used as a potential packaging material in the postharvest preservation of fruits and vegetables.

 Abstract

The article focuses on the issues of the Gandhian philosophy appealed in the Manohar Malgonkar's novel A Bend in the Ganges. It shows the fictitious reality to judge the Gandhi's thoughts in real sense of application in one's life. It openly favours Gandhi's most powerful weapons of truth and non-violence. The various issues of the novel and the factor of Gandhi's motivations for freedom and its followers' changing contours about the said topic encountered in this article. The incident after incident and the factors of hetero about the views of Gandhi are tolerated in the novel.

 Abstract

wi-fi Sensor Networks (WSNs) are playing an increasing number of a key role in several utility situations such as health care, agriculture, environment monitoring, and smart metering. Furthermore, WSNs are characterised by excessive heterogeneity because there are numerous one-of-a-kind proprietary and non-proprietary solutions. This wide variety of technology has not on time new deployments and integration with existing sensor networks. The current trend, however, is to transport far from proprietary and closed requirements, to embrace IP based totally sensor networks the use of the emerging well known 6LoWPAN/IPv6. This permits local connectivity between WSN and internet, allowing smart gadgets to take part to the internet of things (IoT). building an all-IP infrastructure from scratch, but, could be difficult due to the fact many extraordinary sensors and actuators technology (each wired and wireless) have already been deployed through the years. After a evaluate of the nation of the artwork, this paper sketches a framework capable of harmonize legacy and new installations, allowing migrating to an all-IP surroundings at a later level. The constructing Automation use case has been selected to talk about potential benefits of the proposed framework.
