Regionalization of Urbanization for Better Built Environment
Abstract: The built environment of the cities is largely governed by the practices being following in planning and developing different land uses on their lands. Reducing land-man ratio, housing shortage, traffic and transportation problems, safety issues, water crisis, solid waste mis-management, sanitation, etc. are the key challenges faced by the bigger cities of India. One of the strongest reasons for these problems has been the inappropriate approach followed in land use …

An Analysis on the Current Perspective of Urban Design
Abstract: We know that urban design is historically played a major role in development of cities. Urban design, as a presently discipline, is relatively new compared to linked disciplines of architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture. The close relation of urban design with these allied disciplines has also been the cause for its unclear nature, and its muddled definition. Accordingly, it is appealed here that a reexamination of the definition, status, …

Study on the Properties and Applications of Thermoplastic
Abstract: Hot-applied thermoplastic is prepared for road deposition in a melting apparatus where the granular or block material is introduced and heated until it liquefies at temperatures exceeding 400F. When applied on asphaltic concrete, thermoplastic material develops a thermal bond via heat- fusion. A thermoplastic is a material, usually a plastic polymer, which becomes soft when heated and hard when cooled. Thermoplastic materials can be cooled and heated several times without …

Review of Composites formed of Thermoplastic as Organic Fibers
Abstract: Composites made of structural monomers gave rise to thermoplastic polymers (TMCs). Due to their usage of a thermoplastic matrix, these materials really aren't chemically reactive. TMCs may be remoulded without degrading when heated and become softer. They harden into the final shape when they cool. Thermoplastic materials bonded with plant fibers may one day be used to create impact- absorbing structure for renewable power. Its impact features of organic fiber-reinforced …

The Impact of Phytohormones on Human Metabolism and Wellbeing
Abstract: Phytohormones, or plant hormones, are vital organic compounds that regulate plant growth, development, and environmental responses. Recent research has shown that phytohormones like auxins, cytokinin, gibberellins, abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, brassinosteroids, jasmonates, and salicylic acid may also positively impact human metabolism and overall health. Humans are exposed to these hormones primarily through the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and grains, and emerging studies suggest they may influence human metabolic pathways. This …
