A STUDY ON PRODUCTION OF NEXT GENERATION CONCRETE : GREEN CONCRETE
Abstract: This proposal aims to study the production of eco friendly, sustainable and efficient self healing concrete. Concrete is the most widely used material in construction, concrete is a composite material composed of course aggregates bonded with wet cements which hardens over time. Production of bioconcrete is done in order to reduce the cracks, reduces the corrosion of steel present inside the building. Modern methods of construction and technology have taken …

Use of Aqueous Decoction of Leaves of Mulberry, Morus alba (L) in Hyperglycemia-Induced Oxidative Stress in Brown Rat, Rattus norvegicus (L.).
Abstract: Hyperglycemia is the significant feature of the disease diabetes in human being. The oxidative stress induction is the prime concern with diabetic hyperglycemia. This oxidative stress leads to microvascular and macrovascular complications. Streptozotocin induced diabetic male brown rats ( Rattus norvegicus L.) were divided into five groups, each with 15 individuals. The rats of Group-I served as Normal Healthy group. The Group-II served as streptozotocin induced diabetic rats of solvent …

Finite Element Analysis of Rectangular Plate of S460J2 With Multiple Circular Holes
Abstract: Stress concentration is the main root cause of failure of multi-hole plates in bi-axial loaded conditions. Therefore it is essential to study such Stress Concentration Factors (SCF) to achieve the failure criteria. The method used for analysis is FE analysis. The main cause of increment in the stress is the geometrical irregularity, which may be caused by the various machining operations. Some kind of operations also requires such irregularity for …

Dynamic Analysis of a Multi-geared Rotor Shaft System
Abstract: Gear systems are the toothed members in which the main aim is to transmit power or motion between two shafts by meshing without any slip. Motion and power transmitted between the shafts are kinematically equivalent to power or motion transmitted between frictional wheels. Vibration of gear system causes unwanted noise such as gear whirling. Noise and vibration signals from machine can contain vital information about the internal processes and provide …

Role of Social Capital in Place Making—Pre-capitalist Spaces and Spaces in Capitalism
Abstract: The argument in this essay is driven by the sole idea of looking at places not just through their physical attributes but the process of their making vis-a-vis the forces that shape them and through the settings in which they flourish (or not). As such, space and place are read as two different entities whereby a place is a space with an assigned activity, space being the blank that cannot …

Community Resilience and Adaptability on Built Environment: A Study with reference to post-tsunami resettlement at Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka
Abstract: This study investigates the community resilience with reference to a tsunami resettlement at Ambalangoda in Sri Lanka. The theoretical framework used in the research is based on the “Adaptive Cycle of Resilience” developed by Holling and Gunderson. This cycle consists of four different phases; exploitation, conservation, release and reorganization. Any social system which is adapting to the changing external conditions would go through these stages of the cycle. The study …

A Case of Pilocytic Astrocytoma: A Low-Grade Glioma (LGG) During Pregnancy that Requires Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP)
Abstract: Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is typically a slow-growing astrocytoma and is therefore considered the ‘most benign’ of all the astrocytoma. PA is often encountered in relatively young individuals, including women of childbearing age, but growth is rarely reported. Its management is particularly challenging since anti-tumor therapy is required and the impact on the fetus or the pregnancy would require consideration, or the pregnancy would have to be discontinued, depending on the …
