Identification of Ecological Open Spaces of Urban Areas for Smart City Development: A Case of Jabalpur City in Madhya Pradesh in India
Abstract: The birth of a human habitation starts from an idea of shelter in a natural place which satisfies the parameter of food, water and security. These centers in course of time expand and utilize the neighborhood resources for land, minerals, forests, water from ground and surface water bodies, etc. thereby depleting the original values and in the process ending all vital open spaces which were once the cause of genesis. …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …

Effects of Reinforcing Elements in Soil Reinforcement
Abstract: The inclusion of reinforcing elements in a soil mass improves its geotechnical properties. The principle behind soil reinforcement is that the reinforcing elements absorb the tensile load and shear stress within the reinforced structures and hence prevent the shear failure and settlement. The friction developed between the interface of soil and reinforcing element improves the properties of soil. Different types of natural and synthetic fibers have been used in various …
