 Abstract

Liquefaction is one of the devastating effects of earthquake. It has occurred even before the recorded cases in the history. Liquefaction causes not only failure of super-structure but also produces instability of sub-structure, which results into catastrophic damages. Liquefaction is the term commonly used to describe the sudden, dramatic strength loss which mostly occurs in sands during seismic loading. It is a consequence of increased pore pressure and reduced effective stresses resulted into the transformation from a solid state to a liquefied state of soil. While most frequently associated with cohesion-less soils and dynamic loadings, it has been reported in all types of soils ranging from fine-grained to gravelly type soil under both dynamic and static loadings depending upon extent of the seismic and environmental factors. It is the globally recognized prediction standard for identification of liquefaction of mixture of sand with fines. To achieve the objective, the present research work commenced with the literature review for the identification of existing prominent liquefaction susceptibility criteria. It was beneficial to extract the significant soil parameters from the prominent eight criteria. The comparison among these criteria revealed the discrepancies regarding the selection of liquefaction parameters and their ranges. The root-cause for the discrepancies in the pre-existing criteria is their site-dependency. It was observed that the database comprised mostly the same parameters of database of sandy soil. Hence it was converted in terms of parameters considered for prominent criteria by using the basic geo-technical relations and the conversion charts by carrying out more than 1000 computations. The total database for fine grained soil comprises 291 data-cases, with 194 liquefied cases and 97 non-liquefied cases. The final output of this method was the regression equation giving the relation between most significant parameters and the prediction response of liquefaction. The proposed probable liquefaction criterion was verified successfully by DOE technic. The proposed criterion comprised the index properties of fine grained soil as the most significant parameters for prediction of liquefaction. The determination of these properties in the laboratory can be carried out by very simple laboratory procedures. Hence the proposed criterion may be considered as the effective and accurate yet simplest method for assessing the liquefaction of sand with fines.

 Abstract

A slight film is a layer of material running from parts of a nanometre (monolayer) toa couple of micrometres in thickness. The controlled blend of materials as humblemotion pictures (a strategy insinuated as proclamation) is a significant step in variousapplications. A notable representation is the nuclear family reflects which conventionallyhas a slight metal covering on the rear of a sheet of glass to shape a shrewd interface. The strategy of silvering was once commonly used to convey mirrors, while even more actually the metal layer is put away using frameworks, for instance, faltering. Pushes in small film oath methodologies in the midst of the 20th centuryhave engaged a broad assortment of imaginative jumps forward in ranges, formodel, electronic semiconductor devices, LEDs, optical coatings suchantireflective coatings), hard coatings on cutting mechanical assemblies, and for both imperativenesstime (for example pitiful film sun controlled cells and limit (wobbly film batteries). It issimilarly being associated with drugs, through thin film drugmovement.

 Abstract

The increasing population and changing lifestyles of the people will contribute tremendously towards increasing environmental issues at global, regional and local level. Today, people are not aware with regard to environmental problems and how it will badly impact on our environment. Environmental education plays significant role in the development of environmental awareness. In the present era, environmental awareness must be developed among the masses particularly among youths. The development and growth of understanding and awareness regarding the biophysical environment and understanding how human activities affect the environment is known as environmental awareness. The collective efforts of each and every person of the society bring success towards environmental protection. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study the awareness regarding environment among youth.

 Abstract

A prospective study of 24 patients between the age group 39 - 86 years, with prostatic complaints like hesistancy, poor stream, acute retention of urine, urgency, urge incontinence and nocturia was done in our Institute(Between January 2018 - september 2018). Patients who had recent biopsy and no HPE report were excluded .All 24 patients were subjected to MRI and HPE. MRI was performed in 1.5 Tesla MRI GE , using HD8 Channel torso coil, TRUS guided biopsy was performed machine, equipped with 7.5 MHz Transrectal probe. Patient was placed in supine position in the MR gantry.

 Abstract

Introduction: Portal hypertension and oesophageal varices in patients with chronic liver disease has serious clinical outcomes. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the accuracy of non-invasive parameter such as spleen stiffness (SS) measured by shear wave elastography to detect high risk oesophageal varices (EV) in patients with chronic liver disease. Methods: A total of 38 patients with chronic liver disease were enrolled in the study. All underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to evaluate the presence and severity of oesophageal varices. The stiffness values of spleen measured by shear wave elastography on Ultrasound were collected. The diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography for differentiating high risk varices from low-risk varices was evaluated by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of spleen stiffness wass 0.83 respectively. When a cut-off value of 23.2 kPa was used for spleen stiffness to detect varices, the sensitivity was 95 % the specificity 62% and accuracy 84%. Conclusion: Spleen stiffness measured on shear wave elastography have performed excellently to predict high risk oesophageal varices in patients with chronic liver disease and liver stiffness as a single marker had the best diagnostic value.

ABSTRACT The study was carried out to measure the species richness of ants in Katol town area. All out search and photographic methods were used to observe ants. We found 10 species of ants belonging to 10 genera under 4 subfamilies at different locations. The subfamily Myrmicinae was the most dominant in terms of species richness; with 4 species(40%), while subfamily Formicinae and Myrmicinae recorded with equal number of species(40%) . Least number found with subfamily Dolichoderinae(10%) and Pseudomyrmicinae (10%).

This paper provides analysis of cardiovascular issues related content of YouTube channels creating health content in Kannada language. Content analysis methodology was implemented for the analysis. 200 video clips and published on YouTube by Kannada YouTube content creators were identified by using appropriate keyword search method and analyzed using content analysis research method and the message sensation value is measures. The researcher found that the YouTube content related to the cardiovascular issues are low in message sensation value. Findings provide insights for educators and researchers into content creation related to YouTube.
