 Abstract

The amount of garbage in the world today is growing every year, making it difficult to dispose of significant amounts of agricultural waste, such as coconut shells, rice husks, and sugarcane bagasse ash. This research examines the impacts of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash(SCBA) and Core Fibre on liquid limit, plastic limit, compaction characteristics and California Bearing Ratio on Expansive Soil. Engineers face a difficult problem when designing and building civil engineering projects on and with expansive soils, It aims to evaluate the improvement in the strength and stability qualities in soft sub-grade soil by stabilising it with sugarcane bagasse ash and then reinforcing it with core fibre.

 Abstract

Although there has been much theorising on the impact of India's economic reforms of 1991 on Indian economy, there is hardly any previous study that has taken up the task of actually asking the manufacturing and service sectors as to what the true impact of economic reforms has been on them. Moreover, the economic reforms in India refer to the neoliberal policies implemented by the P.V. Narsimha Rao government in the year 1991, when India was experiencing a severe economic crisis the revenues generated by the government were insufficient to cover the expenses. As a result, it was forced to borrow heavily from foreign banks in order to repay the debt. Economic reforms are defined as policy changes that aim to improve a country's economic efficiency. Economic reforms are primarily required to address distortions caused by international regulations or by the government. Economic reforms occur when there is deregulation or when the size of the government is reduced. It is also accomplished by removing or reducing market distortions in specific sectors of the economy. Since, the above analysis leads to the conclusion that the economic reform period failed to improve the compound annual average growth rate in various development sectors, the number of industrial units increased after economic reforms, but the production level does not increase proportionately to the proportionate increase in number of units. While the employment was showing a slowing trend in the post-liberalization period, the small-scale industries have been unable to ensure their supplies at reasonable prices because the majority of them have been unable to upgrade their machinery and equipment due to the high cost of borrowing. At this point, the authorities should feel an urgent need to review policy measures not only to improve export growth but also to strengthen existing units to meet global competition.

 Abstract

One of the most important aspects of software quality is reusability. The concept of software reuse has been put forth for more than a couple of decades. Because it can shorten delivery time to market, improve quality, and cut costs, software reuse is regarded as a very important factor for software development. Due to the demand, software companies began to consider reusability of software assets that might also be used to address persistent issues. As software companies discovered that reusing source code alone does not result in cost savings, they expanded the idea of software reuse to include other life cycle elements. The maintenance aspect is another crucial one for software reuse. Review for reusability in software engineering is done in the paper by reading several test cases, going over real-world instances, and consulting many research articles.

Abstract: Customer segmentation is an important method both in customer relationship management literature and software since it directly relates to customer satisfaction of the companies. The most common way to separate customers into two distinct groups is to tag a group of customers with a special label. In this paper, company's likely segmented customer data and related statistical data are used to train and test a neural network-based machine learning model, namely Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP). Once the related features are tailored for artificial neural network training and the hyperparameters are tuned accordingly by deploying an extensive grid search algorithm, the system achieved a good generalization of customer segmentation strategy and hence a good overall accuracy within a few epochs. The proposed system can be integrated into company's data framework such that it can frequently analyse the customer-related data tables and can decide whether a customer is to be promoted or is to remain unchanged. This automatic decision mechanism can improve company's customer satisfaction.

 Abstract

A significant portion of the existing building stock consists of irregular reinforced concrete RC structures. One sort of anomaly that frequently improves seismic resistance is discrete geometry of vertical parts. The seismic design standards' design requirements really only apply to public buildings, and even if other seismic design standards criteria are met, safety is still in doubt. In this study, the seismic failure capacity, resistance to collapse during earthquake peaks, and failure processes of reinforced concrete buildings with discontinuous columns designed in accordance with recent seismic standards are evaluated. The effectiveness of the seismic design requirements and its constraints are assessed for the building. In this research work prepares 10 storey models with various irregularities. With the help of ETABS M30 grade of concrete and HYSD 550 grade of steel used as material for modelling work. There are total 4 cases one is 10 floors building with bare frame, second is 10 Floor building with floating column on odd floor at corner, third is 10 floors building with floating column near outer corners on odd floor and last final model is 10 floors building with floating column corridor on odd alternate floor. To compare the story drift and nodal displacement for all models with and without floating columns collect their data and compare their graphs. A comparative analysis concluded that maximum value of displacement occurs in multi-storey building with floating column corridor on odd alternate floor and minimum value of displacement in Multistorey building with bare frame. Maximum value of displacement occurs in multi-storey building with floating column corridor on odd alternate floor and minimum value of displacement in multi-storey building with bare frame.

The purpose of this paper is to show how effective base isolation approaches, such as the use of a lead rubber base isolator, are for asymmetric buildings of varying heights. Five- storey, ten- storey, fifteen storey, and twenty-storey structures are analysed here. In this study I have taken two models of normal shape (symmetric) and L-shape (asymmetric) with and without base isolators in 5 storey, 10 storey, 15 storey and 20 storey. I have analysed the comparison of base isolater with displacement of different storey. Space frames made of reinforced concrete that can withstand a tremor or earthquake thanks to a non-linear analysis of past events. Using the ETABS version 20 nonlinear version software (CSI Ltd) analytical engine, the building is assessed in compliance with seismic code IS-1893:2016.

 Abstract

Experiments were conducted at 14.6mg of lead nitrate kg-1 dry soil mixture, as MAC dose in pot cultures. The dose was given once for short term experiments (6days), twice for 15days and thrice for 30days to maintain constancy of the medium. Biomolecular analysis (DNA, RNA, protein, FAA content) indicated that FAA and RNA content slightly increased whereas other biomolecules decreased significantly in lead nitrate exposed seedlings compared to control seedlings. Noteworthy changes in DNA content was not observed in exposed seedlings, indicating no cell death induced by lead. But the interference of lead in biomolecular synthesis can not be ruled out.DNA, RNA, protein and free amino acid content of the lead exposed seedlings and plants, significantly declined at all exposure periods and the impact was severe on 30th day old ragi plants in pot culture experiments. The protein content in exposed plants significantly declined at all exposure periods when compared to control value and the impact was severe on 30th day (59.3% decrease) old ragi plants. The protein content increased with the increase in exposure period in case of control set. The free amino acid content in exposed plants significantly declined at all exposure periods when compared to control value and the impact was severe on 30th day old ragi plants. The free amino acid content increased with the increase in exposure period in case of control set.

 Abstract

The purpose of the normal column is to distribute the weight to the base or bottom column and base. However, floating columns do not directly participate in load transfer. Depending on the architectural design needs of a particular project, floating columns can be placed on the ground floor, upper floor, or mezzanine. Beam or slabs are lack of permanent support from the underlying foundation. Note that floating columns are designed to carry gravity loads and have been shown to be better at transferring vertical loads than lateral stresses. The lateral load here refers to the seismic load. The construction of floating columns in seismically active areas is based on the idea that shear walls or columns share the seismic loads of the system without the help of floating columns. Above beams or slabs, floating columns are considered as normal compression members. The beam under the floating column acts as a transfer beam and carries the load of the floating column as a point load. Deep beams and beams with high shear force are used to support floating columns. The Indian Code does not mention these clauses. Due to construction earthquake and wind loads, the stub column is not part of the lateral load resistance mechanism of the system. This software analyses floating columns by inserting pin connections at both ends. In this research work prepares 10 storey models with various irregularities. With the help of ETABS M30 grade of concrete and HYSD 550 grade of steel used as material for modelling work. There are total 4 cases one is 10 floors building with bare frame, second is 10 Floor building with floating column on odd floor at corner, third is 10 floors building with floating column near outer corners on odd floor and last final model is 10 floors building with floating column corridor on odd alternate floor. To compare the story drift and nodal displacement for all models with and without floating columns collect their data and compare their graphs.

 Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi's aura of influence is assessed based on his character, legacy, and influence. Gandhiji's guiding principles were "Swaraj," "Non-violence," "Sarvodaya," and "Swadeshi." In independent India in general and in the so-called "New India" in particular, the concept of Sarvodaya is highly valued. One of the four fundamental pillars of Gandhiji's "Hind Swaraj" idea is Sarvodaya, which means "Universal upliftment" or "progress for all." Throughout his life, he made it his mission to ensure that every section of society benefited from the government's policies. To achieve their goals, he put forward the principles of Sarvodaya society. Being the mental construct of Gandhiji's mind, this principle had certain embedded values in it. The pursuit of these goals and the development of India require this notion to be emphasized. The idea of Sarvodaya could be taken as ideal for policy processes. To comprehend the roots of New India, it is therefore vital to study Gandhiji's thoughts and their increasing relevance today. In this paper, an attempt is made to focus on Sarvodaya as one of the pillars of Hind Swaraj. The objective of this research is to evaluate the concept of Sarvodaya in policy processes with the aim of accomplishing the New India vision.

Abstract Success stories are always inspiring. They have always been a source of motivation to achieve better desired goals. Aspiring entrepreneurs in India are always looking for role models, success stories and the torch bearers to motivate and guide them. Tons of success stories are available through books, websites, journals etc. but sometimes its hard to make the right choice to follow. An average student is too far from all these success stories as they have no idea where to go or what to search for and what will be benefits of reading such success stories. In Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj University, Compulsory English syllabus Personality section was introduced in 2020 in Semester- I which followed in next semesters also (Sem -II, III, IV, V, VI). This article makes an attempt to mark some benefits of teaching-learning the success stories of famous entrepreneurs of India and the world. In India, there has been no shortage of successful entrepreneurs. Despite the immense challenges to start and run a business in the country, Indian young minds have found ways to initiate, innovate and produce new products and have even made a mark to reach the list of top entrepreneurs of the world. These entrepreneurs have gained success for themselves and also they have been contributors to the growth of Indian economy by giving a source of income to the Indian population. There are many definitions of entrepreneurship, but I would quote one in particular from 19th-century French economist Jean-Baptiste Say. Who says that an entrepreneur is someone who takes resources from a lower level of productivity to a higher level of productivity.
