BUILDING MATERIALS ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION BASED ON FIGURE OF...IAEME Publication
Sustainability assessment and Engineering design in buildings call for effective decision
making in respect of material selection and construction methodology. A good sustainable
solution involves choosing most suitable material and construction techniques that produce
optimum results in terms of sustainability. Due to several choices available in material
selection for construction, there is a need for a tool which can assist the designer in making the
right choice of materials. Figure of Merit (FoM), as a tool is proposed here to meet this
requirement. FoM is a unique dimensionless parameter derived by integrating two critical
properties from Engineering and Economics. Engineering properties are Modulus of Elasticity
and Density of materials. Economic factors are unit cost of material and construction cost per
unit area. Concept of FoM was applied and study carried out on commonly used building
materials and graphs drawn in comparison with embodied energy, embodied carbon and
material density values. Outcome of the study indicated, “Lower the Figure of Merit; better is
the suitability of building materials in sustainable construction.” As an illustration, FoM
concept was also applied to one of the subsystems of a building namely formwork and found to
be in consistency with the findings. Hence, it is suggested that Figure of Merit can be used as a
quantitative tool for selection of materials
A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF BLAST LOADING FOR NUCLEAR EXPLOSION ON STRUCTURESIAEME Publication
In today’s geopolitical environment, the need to protect both military facilities and civilian
population from enemy attack has not diminished. Furthermore, we noted an increasing need
to protect civilian populations against terrorism and social and subversive unrest. Protecting
society against this form of featureless evolving type of warfare will remain a challenge, at
least through the first half of 21st century and certainly longer. Any outstanding recognition
will require a well planned multi-layered contribute to that strikes a fine coordination between
ensuring a nations security and support the freedoms that modern society enjoys. In this
context, this project is done to study the impact of blast loading for nuclear explosion on
buildings. On high these recommendations define the structural strength pre-eminent to
withstand the force produced by a surface burst of a nuclear weapon. A brief forum of the
major parameters which exercise the force acting on a structure is followed by a specification
of the peak magnitude and time variation of these forces. Specific details which define the net
forces acting on an element of the basic structural types are given. As this design requires a
sound background on blast loading mitigations and as it not economical only. Following the
discussion of the effects of the size and function of a structure is specification of basic
properties of reinforced concrete and steel. The protective structural analysis is based upon
the Tri Service Manual TM 5-1300, ASCE Manual 42, FEMA guidelines and Indian Standards
COMPARISON OF LABVIEW WITH SAP2000 AND NONLIN FOR STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS PROBLEMSIAEME Publication
Structural dynamics is a module of structural analysis that encapsulates the behavior of
structures subjected to dynamic loadings. The problems of structural dynamics can be
categorized as SDOF, MDOF or Continuous systems. LabVIEW is simulating software
possessing extensive graphical representation and data acquisition capabilities. It is of
particular interest to the engineers working in the general area of structural health
monitoring. The graphical user interface and the capability to acquire & process real time
data makes it the ideal choice of programming language. In this study, an attempt has been
made to develop a dynamic system using a SDOF model in LabVIEW. The results were
compared with NONLIN program and SAP2000 software. Parametric study has been done
using Newmark β method and the results were plotted for accelerations, velocities and
displacements.
MINING OPINIONS ABOUT TRAFFIC STATUS USING TWITTER MESSAGESIAEME Publication
In this paper, we have described system for mining opinions from traffic status tweets. The
opinions are categorized as positive (p) and negative (n). We collected a corpus of around
5000 traffic related tweets using twitter API. These tweets were then cleansed from unwanted
contents and processed. The processed tweets were converted into a bag of words and
manually labeled as “p” or “n” appropriately. This labeled dataset was then split into
training and test set in the ratio of 80:20. Various classifier algorithms were trained on this set
and validated. Based on the performance of the algorithms the top 7 among them were chosen
to form an ensemble model. This ensemble model was then used to classify the test set. We
obtained an F-measure of 87.15 which indicates that our system is quite competitive in mining
opinions about traffic status from tweets

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Ayurveda hair cosmetlogy on Indralupta or Alopecia.pptxAyurgyan2077
This presentation focuses on the management of alopecia through ayurveda treatment. It begins with the description of hair in classical ayurveda and conventional medicine textbooks. The common hair related problems like khalitya, indralupta, palitya, hariloma and darunaka are mentioned in Ayurveda. Next is the causes of hairfall like Asthi dhatu kshaya, sveda kshaya, conditions like darunaka or dandruff, fungal infestation, excessive use of lavana-kshara, etc. Few evidences from the researched done previously on Indralupta or alopecia and above mentioned causes are also mentioned.
2. What is Frizzy Hair?
Frizz occurs when the cuticle layer of your hair is raised, allowing moisture to pass
through and swell the strands. As a result, your hair appears dry and frizzy instead of
smooth and defined.
3. Moisturize Your Hair
Remember that what your frizzy hair really wants is moisture. Using natural oils
and good brands of hair products which contains natural ingredients is a great way
to moister the frizzy hair.
4. Hydrating With the Right Products Can Help Restore Frizzy Hair
What you put on your hair certainly matters. If you want to smooth frizzy hair, you’ll
need to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, followed by products
specifically designed for this purpose.
5. Select the best shampoo for your frizzy hair and don’t over wash
For the days in between washings, you can use a dry shampoo or baby powder to
help keep oil at a minimum in frizzy hair. You can also skip the shampoo and just
apply conditioner when you’re in the shower.
6. Select the best conditioner to moisturize or nourish your frizzy hair
The right conditioner can be the best way
to put moisture back into your frizzy hair.
7. Don’t Brush Frizzy Hair When It’s Dry
Because brushing disrupts the hair’s cuticle, it can also stretch the hair and
cause breakage. A better idea is to towel-dry your frizzy hair after a shower
and brush, comb or finger-comb it while it’s still wet. Then, add a small
amount of moisturizing conditioner or your favorite anti-frizz product and
don’t brush it any more. If you need to comb your hair, do so with wet fingers.
Finger combing with wet fingers can help tame frizz and de-tangle.
8. Choose The Correct Brush Size
If you use a round brush while blow drying to straighten or smooth your frizzy
hair, use a medium round brush if you have mid-length to long hair, and a small
round brush if you have shorter hair. Try to avoid using large round brushes, as
they can be hard to work with. Turn the brush gently as you dry each section to
smooth. Finish with a light hairspray or spritz on some smoothing gloss.
