The Changing Significance of Urban Infrastructure: A Study of Dikes in the Dutch Landscape
Abstract: In Gardens: An Essay on the Human Condition, Robert Pogue Harrison discusses the garden as being “nothing if not a phenomenon,” (p. 118) This transitional nature of landscape also applies to urban infrastructure; changing with time and in response to the needs of its users, for protection, transportation, or resource delivery. More recently, defensive dikes in the Netherlands have joined this group, as the relationship of the Dutch to their …

Beyond the Visuals of Architecture
Abstract: When experiencing a space, all the five senses play an important role. The five senses include vision, olfaction, touch, auditory, and taste. It is an architect’s job to be able to present all these elements in the user’s experience of a space, to be able to enhance the “feel” of the building in the most appropriate fashion. It is known that ‘architecture is a journey and not a destination’ Even …

Bench-Marking, Sustainability and Governance Aspects of Smart Cities
Abstract: Abstract Smart cities highlight important aspects of sustainability, such as the need for responsible resource management, energy efficiency, and citizen engagement. Smart cities are highly complex and interdependent, since they are built from large, interconnected systems. Studying them would therefore require an approach that works well in complexity. By studying the smart city concept through a Strategic Sustainable Development (SSD) approach, one is able to examine it from a systems …

Physiochemical Mechanism Associated with Drought Tolerance in Tomato
Abstract: Abiotic stresses are one of the key limitations to global crop production and food security. Among the abiotic stresses, drought is one of the most vital factors that cause changes in morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics in plants, and consequently affects the growth and productivity of crops. The main purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of drought on physiological traits (ratio of root/shoot length, leaf area …

Acute Diffuse Peritonitis in a Pregnant Buffalo
Abstract: A non descriptive breed of buffalo with 8 months of gestation was referred to the clinic with clinical manifestations like anorexia, fever, stiff gait and oedema at inter mandible region, brisket and ventral abdomen. Animal exhibited tachycardia, tachypnoea, pain while deep palpation at ventral abdomen and a positive response to ferroscope examination. Haemato-biochemical analysis revealed anaemia, leucopaenia with degenerative shift to left, neutrophilia and elevated protein levels. Peritoneal fluid analysis …

Role of Bioactive Compounds on Protein Utilization in Ruminants: A Review
Abstract: Insufficient nutrition is the primary drive of low productivity by ruminants. These insufficiencies can be corrected by supplementation with high-density feeds and locally available tree legumes. These tree legumes contain various types of bioactive compounds, which can be defined as secondary plant metabolites (PSM) that are extra nutritional substances having pharmacological or toxicological effects in man and animals. Besides the primary biosynthetic, the secondary metabolites are also produced within the …

Features of Nanoflotation Technique – A Review
Abstract: ABSTRACT Flotation method is majorly availed in two sectors: mining industry (for separation of metal ores) and in wastewater treatment process (both for municipal and industrial wastewaters) for separation of suspended solids, emulsions, chemical sludge or excess sludge. Traditional flotation relies on floating of solids (mainly suspended solids) on the top of the liquid by air bubbles (in conventional process they have and average diameter of 100–300 μm). Better separation …
