This document summarizes an experimental study on the effect of using submerged rectangular stepped breakwaters for shoreline protection. Physical model tests were conducted in a wave flume to assess the performance of single, double, and triple submerged breakwaters of varying heights. Wave heights were measured in front of and behind the breakwater systems. The results showed that using multiple breakwaters or breakwaters of greater height reduced wave transmission to a greater extent compared to single, lower breakwaters. Transmission coefficients and percentage of wave energy reduction were calculated and found to vary depending on breakwater configuration, height, and water depth.
The document summarizes an experimental study on using permeable submerged rectangular stepped breakwaters for coastal defense. Physical model tests were conducted in a wave flume to assess the performance of single, double, and triple breakwaters of varying heights and porosities. Wave transmission, reflection, and energy dissipation coefficients were measured for different water depths and wave conditions. The results show that a permeable submerged breakwater can effectively reduce transmitted wave energy compared to an impermeable structure.
Enumeration and validation of hydrodynamic characteristics over plane and seIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a numerical study that simulated wave generation, propagation, and run-up over plane and serrated slopes with varying angles and wave heights. The study used the FUNWAVE model to simulate waves generated by a piston wavemaker and calculate dimensionless parameters like maximum run-up and reflection coefficient. Results found run-up was higher for a 30-degree slope and lower for a 45-degree slope. Slopes with serrations reduced run-up and reflection coefficient by around 30% and 20% respectively compared to plane slopes. The bed friction coefficient for serrated slopes was quantified using a Navier-Stokes solver.
This document evaluates the effectiveness of detached breakwaters and groynes for reducing coastal erosion along the Alappad coast in Kerala, India. Numerical modeling is conducted using software to analyze wave parameters, currents, and sediment transport with and without protective structures. Results show that detached breakwaters are most effective at reducing wave heights, while groynes provide a better barrier against dominant northward currents. Both structures decrease sediment transport rates and can reduce coastal erosion. Transition groynes with a spacing of twice their length perform well with minimal downstream impacts.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BRIDGE PIER SHAPE TO MINIMIZE LOCAL SCOURIAEME Publication
The study of local scour around bridge piers is very important for safe design of piers and other hydraulic structures. In this study, shape of pier is the main concern with three different velocities (0.18, 0.25, and 0.3) m/sec and other parameters like flow depth, bed material and etc. are remain same for all experiments. The experiments were conducted using laboratory flume, operated under the clear water condition using sand as a bed material. The test program was done on ten different shapes, Circular, Rectangular, Octagonal, Chamfered, Hexagonal, Elliptical, Sharp, Joukowsky, Oblong, streamline. were used to investigate the effect of the bridge pier's shape on local scour to conclude the optimal shape that gives minimum depth of scour. Comparison of results show that scour at upstream is directly proportional to exposed area of upstream nose of pier.
A New geotechnical method for natural slope exploration and analysisRasika Athapaththu
Geotechnical investigation of natural slopes is challengeable especially when
natural slopes having higher gradients and access is difficult. Also, it is even more prob-
lematic to find the shear strength parameters spatially to evaluate the stability of slopes as
most of the methods available to find the shear strength parameters in the literature are
uneconomical or such methods cannot be applied in vegetated slopes. Recently, authors
have conducted a series of in situ investigations based on the newly developed lightweight
dynamic cone penetrometer to examine its applicability in analyzing the slopes covered
with weathering remnants of decomposed granite. Six patterns were identified based on the
penetration resistance varies with the depth. Spatial variability analysis conducted on
different grid spaces showed that the coefficient of variation of cone resistance varies from
0 to 35 %. Semi-variogram analysis showed that the Spherical Models can be used to
evaluate the spatial variability of weathering remnants of decomposed granite. A series of
laboratory calibration tests based on the lightweight dynamic cone penetration tests and
direct shear tests with pore pressure measurements were conducted at different void ratios
and degrees of saturation. Based on the laboratory calibration test results, a method to
determine the void ratio, e, from the data of qd was presented. Based on this, two formulas
to evaluate the shear strength parameters, apparent cohesion and friction angle, were
established with the cone resistance and degree of saturation. Slight modification was
proposed in evaluating the apparent cohesion with respect to the different fine content in
the soils. As a whole, the proposed method can be successfully applied to individual slopes
to determine the profile thickness and to evaluate the shear strength parameters spatially.
Based on this, hazard assessment of individual slopes can be made.

Effect of mainstream air velocity on velocity profile over a rough flat surfaceijceronline
1) The document discusses an experiment that measured the velocity profile over a rough flat surface at different locations along the surface (sections) and with varying mainstream air velocities.
2) The results showed that at a given location, velocity increased with increasing mainstream velocity. Additionally, boundary layer thickness increased with distance from the leading edge but decreased with increasing mainstream velocity.
3) In conclusion, the velocity over the rough surface was significantly influenced by the incoming air velocity, and boundary layer thickness varied inversely with mainstream velocity but directly with distance from the leading edge.
Effect of free surface wave on free vibration of a floating platformeSAT Journals
This document summarizes a study investigating the effect of free surface waves on the free vibration of a floating platform. A finite element model is used to analyze the fluid-structure interaction. The floating rectangular platform is modeled using plate elements and the fluid domain is modeled using brick elements. The fluid is treated as inviscid and incompressible. The free vibration frequencies of the coupled system are calculated by solving the fluid and structure problems sequentially while transferring pressures and accelerations between the domains. Results show that surface waves can significantly reduce vibration frequencies associated with bulging modes of the platform.

GEO-SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES IN SHORELINE ANALYSIS, VARIABILITY AND EROSIONIAEME Publication
Analysis of shoreline variability and shoreline erosion-accretion trends is fundamental to a broad range of investigations undertaken by coastal scientists, coastal engineers, and coastal managers. Though strictly defined as the intersection of water and land surfaces, for practical purposes, the dynamic nature of this boundary and its dependence on the temporal and spatial scale at which it is being considered results in the use of a range of shoreline indicators. These proxies are generally one of two types: either a feature that is visibly discernible in coastal imagery (e.g., high-water line [HWL]) or the intersection of a tidal datum with the coastal profile (e.g., mean high water [MHW]). Recently, a third category of shoreline indicator has begun to be reported in the literature, based on the application of image-processing techniques to extract proxy shoreline features from digital coastal images that are not necessarily visible to the human eye.
Behaviour and Analysis of Large Diameter Laterally Loaded PilesHenry Pik Yap Sia
75% of UK offshore wind turbines are supported on monopile foundations (Doherty and Gavin, 2012). The piles are subjected to large lateral loading from wind and tide surges as well as seabed movement. British Standards (BS EN 61400-3:2009) suggested p-y curve to predict the behaviour of laterally loaded offshore piles. P-y curve has certain assumptions including negligible rotational resistance along the pile length.
This report presents our investigation on the effect of rotational resistance on a typical large diameter pile. It also describes how the finite difference (FD) program has been written from first principles, the Winkler’s Method and Euler-Bernoulli Beam theory. To calculate the rotational resistance, the slice method proposed by McVay and Niraula (2004) is implemented in our model. Our linear-elastic FD model calculates the displacement, bending moment, shear force and soil pressure for laterally loaded piles for two cases: (a) when rotational resistance is considered and (b) when rotational resistance is neglected. The later represents the values used in the industry.
Sensitivity study, through our model produced good results within its scope. The results suggested that the change in the soil and pile properties was found to be dependent on the length-to-depth (L/D) ratio of the pile and the stiffness of the soil next to the pile. In other words, when reached critical ratio, the rotational resistance becomes very significant, specifically for short, rigid piles. Therefore, we computed curves to recommend the range of L/D values where rotational resistance can be safely neglected.
Recommendations and suggestions are made to improve the model and research to fully encapsulate the behaviour of offshore monopiles, such as cyclic loading, elastic continuum, plasticity and non-linearity.
Lastly, we have sufficient confidence from this research to conclude that rotational resistance of a laterally loaded large diameter pile are important and that current design standards for offshore monopiles are conservative.
Simulation of tsunami generation, propagation and coastal inundation in the E...Jose Avila De Tomas
This document summarizes a study that uses a numerical model to simulate tsunami generation, propagation, and coastal inundation in the Eastern Mediterranean region. The model solves higher-order Boussinesq equations and includes terms to represent tsunami generation from earthquakes or submarine landslides. The study applies the model to simulate tsunamis in two areas: near Crete, Greece and near Sicily, Italy. Results are presented as maps of maximum water elevations, snapshots of tsunami propagation, and maps of coastal inundation. This represents one of the first applications of a fully nonlinear model to simulate tsunami-induced coastal flooding in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Stability analysis and simulated hydrologic response of some vulnerable slope...iosrjce
Hillslope geometry, material properties, and hydraulic heterogeneities complicate slope stability
models. To reduce uncertainties in the determination of Factor of Safety, parameters obtained at in-situ stress
levels using ASTM standards were used in two slope stability models to identify and classify some vulnerable
slopes in northern and southern parts of Nigeria.Steady-state and peak strength parameters were applied
separately in an infinite slope analysis simulating the variation of slope attributes with degree of saturation. The
application yielded FS that were consistent with instability, and accurately predicted the characteristics of
slopes in which failure was likely. While rainfall was a common trigger, the probability of failure was higher
on slopes > 38o
in the northern part of the country underlain by igneous and metamorphic rocks. Contrastingly,
slopes with angles > 25o were predicted to be at risk in the southern part underlain by semi-consolidated
sandstones. These predictions are in good agreement with field and reported cases of mass movements in the
two regions. Using another stability method based on Bishop Model to correlate and validate the findings, the
research observed that the slopes were sensitive to moisture with considerable drop in FS as saturation
gradually increased. The study discovered that about 80 % saturation was enough to induce instability and that
beyond this threshold failure occurred when the slopes became marginally stable (FS ≤ 1). This threshold value
and the decline in FS with rise in saturation have important implications for rainfall-induced landslides on the
hilly areas of Nigeria.
Safety Margin of Slope Stability Using Common Deterministic MethodsIJMER
The objective of this research was to develop a model for deterministic slope stability analysis.
The study was performed through different methods of analysis and compared with Bishop simplified
method, the variation of each input parameter ranged using traditional behavior equations to produce a
distribution of the factor of safety verses the variables. A sensitivity analysis is then applied to the output
factor of safety with each variable to select the slope design parameters with acceptable effect on factor
of safety. To demonstrate the application of the deterministic methods developed during this paper, the
methodology was applied to case study to present the effect of each variable on factor of safety, the
study of slope failure was assumed to be circular slip surface .
A study of the dissipation and tracer dispersion in a submesoscale eddy field...Sonaljit Mukherjee
This study uses high-resolution ocean model simulations to investigate subgrid dissipation and tracer dispersion in submesoscale eddy fields. It implements different subgrid mixing parameterizations to study their impact on resolved submesoscale flows and restratification. Results show enhanced dissipation occurs in localized regions at the periphery of eddies due to changes in ageostrophic shear production. Stronger eddy diffusivities reduce lateral buoyancy gradients and the rate of restratification. Salinity intrusions formed by mixed-layer eddies below the surface match observations, indicating the mechanism of tracer dispersion at submesoscales.
1) The document summarizes current approaches to seismic design and analysis of underground structures like tunnels. It describes how ground deformations from earthquakes are estimated and transmitted to underground structures.
2) Analysis methods include ignoring structure-ground interaction, pseudo-static analysis that imposes ground deformations as static loads, and dynamic analysis using tools like finite element modeling.
3) Recent earthquakes showed underground structures generally suffer less damage than surface structures. However, some underground structures experienced significant damage, like the 1995 collapse of the Daikai subway station in Kobe, Japan, where relative displacement between structure levels exceeded design.
Behavior of piles and pile groups under lateral loadjain_abhishek
This document presents methods for analyzing and designing piles subjected to lateral loads. It reviews rational methods that use the equations of mechanics to model soil-structure interaction, including the methods of Broms and Poulos. Soil response is modeled using nonlinear p-y curves representing the relationship between lateral soil resistance (p) and pile deflection (y). The document provides recommendations for developing p-y curves for different soil types, including soft clay, stiff clay, sand, and rock. It also describes methods for solving the differential equation that governs lateral pile behavior, including the difference equation method. The document concludes with a discussion of structurally designing piles to resist lateral loads.
The document discusses issues with the term "tsunamite" used to describe sedimentary deposits formed by tsunamis. There is overlap in the nomenclature as deep-water turbidites and debris flows have been reinterpreted as tsunamites based on historical evidence of tsunamis rather than sedimentary features. This has blurred the distinction between shallow and deep marine facies. Additionally, the notion that tsunami waves can directly deposit sediment in deep water is unrealistic as tsunamis are sediment starved. The term tsunamite should not be used for deposits that already have established names like turbidites and debris flows formed by sediment flows triggered by tsunamis but deposited away from
This document summarizes a study on the strength of vortices formed on the surface of structural elements (like beams and plates) oscillating in fluid flow. The study uses a panel method to model the fluid domain and finite element analysis to model the structural element. It assumes the deformed shape of the structure forms a vortex sheet, which is represented by point vortices of uniform strength distributed on the surface. Numerical examples are presented showing how the vortex strength, lift and pressure coefficients vary with different fluid flows past rigid and flexible oscillating structures.
1. Geological investigations involve surface and subsurface exploration methods to determine the geological structure, lithology, groundwater conditions, and seismicity of an area before constructing major civil engineering projects like dams.
2. Subsurface exploration methods include direct techniques like drilling and indirect geophysical methods. Important geophysical methods are gravity, magnetic, electrical, seismic, and radiometric, with electrical methods being the most versatile.
3. Seismic refraction and reflection techniques use geophones to record seismic wave arrival times and construct time-distance graphs to determine layer depths and velocities below a site. Configuration of geophones includes fan, profile, and circular shooting patterns.
The document discusses analysis of laterally and axially loaded piles and shafts using the Deep Foundation System Analysis Program (DFSAP) which uses the Strain Wedge Method (SWM). Key points:
- SWM accounts for factors like soil layers, pile properties, and considers effects of liquefaction which traditional p-y methods do not.
- It was validated through comparisons to full-scale load tests on piles/shafts under lateral and axial loads.
- SWM can analyze laterally loaded single piles/shafts or pile groups including considering interaction effects between piles.

It reviews rational methods that use the equations of mechanics to model soil-structure interaction, including the methods of Broms and Poulos. Soil response is modeled using nonlinear p-y curves representing the relationship between lateral soil resistance (p) and pile deflection (y). The document provides recommendations for developing p-y curves for different soil types, including soft clay, stiff clay, sand, and rock. It also describes methods for solving the differential equation that governs lateral pile behavior, including the difference equation method. The document concludes with a discussion of structurally designing piles to resist lateral loads.
The document discusses issues with the term "tsunamite" used to describe sedimentary deposits formed by tsunamis. There is overlap in the nomenclature as deep-water turbidites and debris flows have been reinterpreted as tsunamites based on historical evidence of tsunamis rather than sedimentary features. This has blurred the distinction between shallow and deep marine facies. Additionally, the notion that tsunami waves can directly deposit sediment in deep water is unrealistic as tsunamis are sediment starved. The term tsunamite should not be used for deposits that already have established names like turbidites and debris flows formed by sediment flows triggered by tsunamis but deposited away from
This document summarizes a study on the strength of vortices formed on the surface of structural elements (like beams and plates) oscillating in fluid flow. The study uses a panel method to model the fluid domain and finite element analysis to model the structural element. It assumes the deformed shape of the structure forms a vortex sheet, which is represented by point vortices of uniform strength distributed on the surface. Numerical examples are presented showing how the vortex strength, lift and pressure coefficients vary with different fluid flows past rigid and flexible oscillating structures.

Rectangular submerged vertical breakwater (RSVB) is a barrier with its crest below the still
water level. For economical solution of submerged rectangular vertical breakwater, I have to make
some holes in it to be permeable with different permeability ratios (p) to use as wave energy
absorption for the defence of the shore line. So in this paper experiments were done in the wave
flume in the laboratory of Hydraulics, Civil Engineering Department, Shorouk Academy, Higher
Institute of Engineering. This is under normal and regular waves with different ranges of wave
heights and periods under different water depths. The efficiency of the break water is presented as a
function of the transmission, the reflection and the wave energy loss coefficients. A permeable
(RSVB) with constant width (W) = 50 cm as the total width of the experimental flume and different
heights (Y) worked one by one or with each other’s (stepped) with different water depths (dw),
different wave heights (Hi) and some holes with diameter φ = 4.0 and 2.0 cm acting from one to
fourth rows, with different heights (S) from base. Comparing the percentage of energy reduction
calculated between this type and impermeable (RSVB), working as single or as a group (stepped) as
shown in figure (1).
Offshore structures are continuously exposed to extremely varying aerodynamic
and hydrodynamic loads. The storm waves and breaking waves may cause significant
impact on coastal and offshore structures such as vertical sea wall, wind turbines,
LNG carriers and submarine pipelines etc. The prediction of the breaking wave
impact pressure is the important aspect in the design of those structures. The breaking
wave forces produce the highest hydrodynamic loads on substructures in shallow
water, predominantly plunging breaking waves. Owing to the complex and transient
nature of the impact forces it requires more details concerning the physics of breaking
waves and nature of wave interaction with those structures.
In this paper, A Piston-type wave generator was incorporated in the
computational domain to generate waves. Flow 3D was used for simulating 3D
numerical wave tank. The desired breaking waves are simulated using the concept of
wave focusing using Flow 3D solver. These waves are made to impinge on the elastic
circular cylinders of different materials such as PVC, timber and concrete by varying
the support conditions such as cantilever, both ends fixed, inclined support with 30º
inclination. The hydrodynamic response and the structural response are analysed and
validated with the experimental literatures. The maximum impact pressure transpired
on the cylinder due to plunging wave impact from numerical simulation is found to be
eight times of the non-breaking waves
Using Half Pipes as Permeable BreakwaterIRJET Journal
This document describes a study that investigated using half pipes as permeable breakwaters to protect coastlines in Egypt. Two types of half pipe breakwaters were tested experimentally and numerically: horizontal half pipes shaped like an H, and vertical half pipes shaped like a C. Physical models were used to identify the hydraulic performance of the barriers under different wave conditions. A numerical model was also developed using FLOW-3D software and validated against the laboratory data. The results showed that increasing the relative water depth decreases the amount of wave transmission through the barrier and increases wave reflection. Permeable breakwaters were found to effectively dissipate wave energy while avoiding issues caused by traditional solid breakwater structures.
The Hydrodynamic Performance Examination of a New Floating Breakwater Configu...IJAEMSJORNAL
It is critical to protect coastal and offshore structures. Most current studies and scientific investigations are centered on how to protect seashore with an efficient and cost-effective system. This study involved the testing of a new floating breakwater configuration (FB). A series of experiments were carried out in the lab of The Higher Institute of Engineering (El-shorouk City) on the new model and the traditional vertical plane FB without a curved face to compare their behaviours and performance in wave attenuation. The incident, reflected, and transmitted wave heights were measured, and the coefficients of reflection, transmission, and energy dissipation were calculated using these measurements. In terms of hydrodynamic performance, the curved-face floating breakwater outperformed the traditional vertical floating breakwater, according to the study's highlights. The curved face model significantly reduced wave transmission values when compared to the traditional vertical configuration. The greater the concavity of the curve, the better the model handles waves, especially when the wave steepness is low.

of 1 in 30 and subjected to the action of regular, random and
cnoidal waves was carried out. The results of both the models
were compared and discussed.
This document summarizes research on the aerodynamic stability of a proposed 480m cable-stayed concrete bridge. Wind tunnel tests were conducted on a 1:200 scale model to study flutter, buffeting, and rolling oscillations. The model exhibited coupled vertical and torsional oscillations at different structural damping levels and live load ratios. Additional rolling oscillations were observed, believed to be due to flexural oscillations of the main span. Providing small holes in the deck bottom controlled the vertical and rolling oscillations. Test results were compared to theoretical values to predict flutter and buffeting responses to wind loads.
This document summarizes a study that used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model soil erosion during a hole erosion test (HET). The study used the k-epsilon turbulence model in ANSYS Fluent to simulate the turbulent flow within the HET apparatus and calculate wall shear stresses. Higher velocities were found to increase erosion rates according to an erosion law relating erosion rate to shear stress exceeding a critical value. Non-uniform erosion along the hole was predicted, unlike one-dimensional models. Results provide insight into how flow variables like velocity affect internal erosion processes.
The document summarizes experiments conducted to study the effect of dissipation blocks on the energy downstream of compound weirs. 240 experimental runs were performed using different types of triangular, horizontally, and vertically cut dissipation blocks placed in the stilling basin. Measurements of relative energy dissipation, hydraulic jump length, and roller length were taken for each experimental configuration. The results showed that compound weirs with lower V-notches and all dissipation block types had high energy dissipation efficiency, especially at high discharges. Hydraulic characteristic values were better for triangular cut angles of 45° and 60° compared to other block configurations. In conclusion, dissipation blocks improved hydraulic performance by increasing energy dissipation and reducing hydraulic jump length.

This document summarizes an experimental study that investigated the effects of using staggered fiberglass sheets as roughness elements in a rectangular channel on flow characteristics. Compared to a smooth bed, the staggered roughness elements decreased the relative jump depth by 22%, increased the relative energy loss by 14%, and reduced the relative jump length by 8.1%. Theoretical equations were also developed to predict the relative jump depth and relative energy loss based on dimensional analysis and the energy equation. These equations showed acceptable agreement with experimental data.
IRJET- The Study of Damage Level of Tandem BreakwaterIRJET Journal
This document summarizes an experimental study on the performance of tandem breakwaters. Tandem breakwaters consist of a conventional rubble mound breakwater located nearshore with a seaward-submerged breakwater. Tests were conducted in a wave basin to measure the level of damage (S) to the armour layers of the main breakwater under different wave conditions and configurations of the submerged breakwater. The tests found that constructing the submerged breakwater at a greater distance from the main breakwater (X/d = 10.0-13.33) reduced the maximum damage level by approximately 39.4% for quarry rock and 35.7% for cube armour compared to a closer spacing (X/d = 6.67
This document discusses an experiment analyzing wave loadings on a Seawave Slot-cone Generator (SSG), a wave energy converter. Regular wave tests were conducted in a wave flume on a 1:66 scale model of the SSG located on a sloped "focuser" to increase wave run-up. Pressure transducers measured wave pressures at different heights on the SSG during 31 wave trains with varying heights and periods. The results were used to develop predictive methods for estimating peak wave pressures and rise times on the SSG under different conditions. These predictions will help with structural design of full-scale SSG devices.
Use of downstream facing aerofoil shaped bridge piers to reduce local scourIAEME Publication
This document discusses research on using downstream-facing aerofoil-shaped bridge piers to reduce local scour compared to traditional upstream-facing designs. It provides background on how scour occurs due to horseshoe vortices forming in front of piers. An experiment tested scour for circular, upstream-facing aerofoil, and downstream-facing aerofoil piers. Results showed the downstream-facing design reduced maximum scour depth by 59% versus the upstream aerofoil and 68% versus circular, and reduced the scour hole volume by 87% versus circular. Orienting the aerofoil shape to face downstream effectively weakened vortices causing scour.
Numerical Simulation and Prediction for Steep Water Gravity Waves of Arbitrar...CSCJournals
Nonlinear permanent progressive wave is one of the most important applications in water waves. In this study, analytic formulation of the steep water gravity waves is presented. Abohadima and Isobe [1] showed that Cokelet solution [2] is the most accurate among many other solutions. Due to the nonlinearity of analytic equations, the need to numeric simulation is raised up. In the current paper, consequence numerical models, using one of the artificial intelligence techniques, are designed to simulate and then predict the non linear properties of permanent steep water waves. Artificial Neural Network (ANN), one of the artificial intelligence techniques, is introduced in the current paper to simulate and predict the wave celerity, momentum, energy and other wave integral properties for any permanent waves in water of arbitrary uniform depth. The ANN results presented in the current study showed that ANN technique, with less effort, is very efficiently capable of simulating and predicting the non linear properties of permanent steep water waves.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA.

The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
