 Abstract

The process of designing a building structure starts with the selection of construction materials based on their mechanical properties and the type of stresses to be supported. For the design of reinforced concrete structure, which is one of the most built structures around the world, the choice will fall on concrete and steel reinforcing bars. The quality of TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) bars chosen must have adequate tensile strength to guarantee a ductile behaviour expected of reinforced concrete structure, so that the structure will be safe and functional to fulfil the purpose for which it is built. Possible causes of the failures of reinforced concrete structures are many including the quality of steel and concrete adopted. In this research work, various quality assessment tests such as Ultimate Tensile Strength test, Bend & Re-band test and Elongation have been performed on TMT steel reinforcing round bars used in local areas of Assam. Samples of 10 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm diameter bars of different brands namely JINDAL, SATYAM, TISCON and VISCON were collected from different stages of construction, including reinforcement procurement and onsite storage of Jorhat district and tested in the Material Testing Laboratory, Civil Engineering department of H.R.H. The Prince of Wales Institute of Engg. & Technology, Jorhat, Assam. Results obtained shows that all the samples considered met the IS 1786 (2008) code specifications.

 Abstract

The root cause of environment degradation is the widening gap between human and nature. Man has efficiently committed ecocide making the planet inhospitable for any kind of life. The technological progress has made man blind, destructive and dehumanizing. Human beings have become blinded by the advancement of civilization and hence have stopped thinking themselves as part of the natural world. This paper focuses on writers who have foregrounded the aftermath of a disaster through their works. It is probable that the cultural and ecological climate have inspired these writers to focus on future which is unpleasant but sure to come to reality if man continues to move through the current trajectory. McCarthy's Road(2006)falls into the genre of post-apocalyptic fiction. In the novel under study we find that the catastrophic event caused by man has left the landscape barren. In such a bleak situation we find that there is an attempt to rebuild civilization and reconstruction of humanity.

 Abstract

The various social media platforms are used for easy access of information from the distinctive field that might constitute an offensive discussion. Therefore, existing studies are examined to reduce offensive harassment cases online. The spread of hate speech is growing with the ubiquity and anonymity through the means of social media for many years. Thus, the increase in demand showed an automated model for the detection of hate speech. This research work utilizes Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) models for hate speech detection which helps the network to learn complex patterns in the data. The proposed Bi-LSTM learned the c complex patterns present in the network data and the activation function made an end decision that should be fired out into the next neuron. The classification results showed that the proposed Bi-LSTM classified the reviews as abusive or non-abusive speech.

 Abstract

A duodenal ulcer is a specific type of ulcer that occurs in the lining of the small intestine, particularly in the duodenum, which is the first section of the small intestine immediately after the stomach. This condition is characterized by inflammation and the formation of a sore, which can cause significant abdominal pain. Duodenal ulcers are a common cause of abdominal discomfort, and while they can be quite painful, they often heal within a few weeks with appropriate treatment. Duodenal ulcers fall under the broader category of peptic ulcer disease (PUD). PUD encompasses both duodenal ulcers and gastric ulcers, which are ulcers that form in the lining of the stomach. Both types of ulcers result from a disturbance in the mucosal surface, which is the protective lining of the stomach and duodenum. This disturbance can cause the mucosal surface to erode and form ulcers. The mucosal surface consists of several defensive layers, including pre-epithelial, epithelial, and subepithelial components, all of which work together to protect the underlying tissues from damage. The primary symptom associated with duodenal ulcers is dyspepsia, which is a term for upper abdominal pain or discomfort. However, more severe complications can arise if the ulceration progresses, including gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction of the digestive tract, the formation of a fistula (an abnormal connection between organs), or even perforation of the stomach or duodenum wall. The presence and severity of symptoms can significantly influence the management and treatment approach for the condition. When diagnosing peptic ulcer disease, it's important to consider a patient's history, especially if they have symptoms of dyspepsia, a history of using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or a previous diagnosis of infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). H. pylori is a common bacterial infection that is a major cause of peptic ulcers. Therefore, testing for H. pylori is recommended for all patients with peptic ulcer disease, particularly those with duodena ulcers. NSAIDs, which are commonly prescribed to manage pain and fever, can also contribute to the development of peptic ulcer disease, even with short-term use. This is particularly relevant for children, who may be given NSAIDs to manage fever. Doctors should consider the potential risks and use these medications cautiously, advising caregivers about the importance of moderation and the potential dangers of over use. In summary, duodenal ulcers are a type of peptic ulcer that causes significant abdominal pain and requires careful diagnosis and treatment. Understanding the underlying causes, including the role of H. pylori infection and the impact of NSAID use, is crucial for effective management and prevention of complications.

 Abstract

This study investigates the impact of exercise adherence on the wellbeing of students, employing a single factorial design. The sample, comprising 200 subjects, was divided into two groups: those who engage in regular exercise and those who do not. Mean scores and standard deviations (S.D.) were calculated for each group, revealing a significant difference. Students who exercise regularly exhibited a higher mean score of 22.35 (S.D. = 8.7), while non-exercising students had a lower mean score of 15.30 (S.D. = 9.70). The 't' test, with a score of 9.04 at the 0.01 level, demonstrated statistical significance, emphasizing the robust correlation between exercise adherence and wellbeing. The interpretation of results suggests a positive association between regular exercise and overall wellbeing, supported by lower variability in scores among exercising students. This aligns with past studies emphasizing the cognitive, academic, and mental health benefits of exercise. The implications of these findings extend beyond statistical significance, advocating for the integration of exercise into student lifestyles to foster holistic wellbeing.

 Abstract

Construction industry is considered as one of the most important and second largest industries in India after agriculture. It is well known that most construction projects in India, especially in Tamil Nadu are exposed to time and cost overrun or both. Time cost schedule is a crucial task in construction project management. This phenomenon may affect the progress of construction industry in India as well as may expose many institutions of construction to be destroyed for instance; it can materially help to identify the expected financial requirements. It is also an important tool for the time control process. Construction project time schedule is greatly affected by many uncertain but predictable factors. This research list the main factors affecting time and cost overrun and discusses their influence on schedule performance. The main factors are analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Science. From the analysis planning and scheduling deficiencies, financial unavailability, quality of materials, rain / inclement weather effect, inaccurate time estimates, design changes by owner found to be most critical factors.
