Water quality modeling of an agricultural watershed with best management prac...eSAT Journals
Abstract Simulation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) affecting water quality is necessary while modeling the water quality of agricultural watersheds with BMPs in place to mitigate pollution of river. Previous studies explored methods to represent some of the water quality BMPs. However, there are still gaps in the research to represent some other BMPs such as constructed wetlands, wastewater reuse, residue management and nutrient management. This paper focuses on modeling of BMPs affecting water quality. The study area is a 1692 Km2 cultivated watershed in South Texas, USA where water quality is impaired for dissolved oxygen (DO). The water quality constituents analyzed for the study are sediment, nitrogen, phosphorus, water temperature and dissolved oxygen. Apart from identification of methodology to simulate BMPs, this study estimated extent of pollution mitigation by each type of BMP. Binomial method of water quality analysis was used to judge the compliance of river reach for meeting DO criterion. This manuscript will discuss modeling of water quality constituents and the BMPs that affect water quality. In addition, the estimation of dissolved oxygen compliance of the watershed is also discussed. The results from the study indicate that the agricultural BMPs implemented in the watershed and establishment of stringer water quality criteria have in fact improved the DO trends in the tidal section of the river, which did not meet the stipulated DO criterion before. Index Terms: Arroyo, BMP, dissolved oxygen, residue management, nutrient management, water quality

In this study, different percentages of GGBS and marble powder are used for partial replacement of cement by 30%. Tests conducted includes workability of fresh concrete (Slump test), strength of hardened concrete (Compressive strength, Split tensile strength and Flexural strength) and durability properties of concrete (Chloride resistance and Sulphate resistance).
Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Cement by Flyash and GGBSijsrd.com
This paper presents a laboratory investigation on optimum level of Fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as a partial replacement of cement to study the strength characteristics of concrete. Portland cement was partially replaced by 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% of GGBS and Fly ash by 20%, 40%, 60% respectively. The water to cementations materials ratio was maintained at 0.45 for all mixes. The strength characteristics of the concrete were evaluated by conducting Compressive strength test, Splitting Tensile strength test and Flexural strength test. The compression strength test were conducted for 7days and 28days of curing and split tensile strength test and flexural strength test were conducted for 28days of curing on a M25 grade concrete. The mix proportion M25 was found to be 1:1.36:2.71.The test results proved that the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete mixtures containing GGBS and Fly ash increases as the amount of GGBS and Fly ash increase. After an optimum point, at around 9% of GGBS and 40% of Fly ash of the total binder content, the further addition of GGBS and fly ash does not improve the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength.

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.

By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
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. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
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.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

to large Power plants, etc. As a part of this novel idea, materials such as slag can be transformed into
geopolymer concrete or nowadays called as green concrete.
Concrete is predominantly used material in architectural and construction industry1
The overall
global production of cement is 2.8 billion tons according.2
A recent report to the United Nations
Industrial Development Organization highlighted that as of 2005, 60% of China’s cement production
was from Vertical Shaft Kilns (VSKs); characterized by low production efficiency3
. The VSKs
generally produced low-quality cement unsuitable for large structures, infrastructure, or export. The
emission of carbon dioxide in the production of cement is due to clinker production, combustion of
fuels in the cement kilns, and the use of energy for grinding raw material and clinker4-13
. Abundant
research has been conducted on newer concrete technologies and their use is seen in many
construction solutions as they provide viable means of reducing the carbon footprint of concrete.5
The use of greener concrete is increasing day by day. A recent post-tensioned structure had concrete
with 50% replacement of cement by slag for the slabs, columns, and walls; and 70% replacement in
the mat foundation, resulting in an estimated reduction in carbon dioxide emissions for the project
of 4500 tons (4400 tons). The latest research into the green concrete properties and it is extensive.
Researchers have examined the durability and mechanical properties of concrete with the full
replacement of cement by the pozzolanic material.7,8
High volume substitution for cement
replacement results in high strength and high durability concrete9-18
. The covalent bond between the
oligomers tends to form a network and this process of combination results in what is known as
geopolymerization, Figure 1. Shows the mixture of a new product.

4.1. COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
The compressive strength of concrete with different proportions are cast of age 3, 7 and 28 days are
shown in Table13. 100% Metakaolin gives the compressive strength of 60.03 N/mm² which is the
maximum strength obtained than other proportions. The strength variation between one proportion
to other and one age to other is in a slight manner, The compressive strength testing specimen was
shown in Figure 14.

4.2. SPLIT TENSILE STRENGTH
The Split Tensile Strength of GPC with different proportions are obtained of age 3, 7 and 28 are
shown in Table 14. 100% Metakaolin gives strength of 6.73 N/mm² which is the maximum strength
obtained than other proportions. The strength variation between one proportion to other and one age
to other is in slight manner, the split tensile strength test specimen was shown in Figure15.

4.3. FLEXURAL STRENGTH
The Flexural strength of concrete with different proportions are evaluated of age 3, 7 and 28 days, a
two point load is applied on the beams of size 50mm in length, 10mm in width and 10mm in depth.
From the Table 15 we can say, as the age of concrete increases Flexural strength increases. 100%
Metakaolin gives Flexural strength of 3.54 N/mm² which is the maximum strength obtained than
other proportions. The strength variation of C1, C2, C3 and C4 are slight but C5, C6 has vast
variation.

4.4. DURABILITY
Durability is a major factor to be considered for the structure to with stand for a long period i.e the
age of the structure should be more durable. So my experimental investigation take me to identify
the structural behavior on different environmental like Chloride attack, Acid attack and Sulphate
attack. But in this report work is concentrated on sulphate attack. Therefore the results and
discussions are presented in Table 16-17.

• The initial compressive strengths are obtained from the proportions C1, C3, C6 which are in
ambient curing for 28 days.
• The final compressive strengths are obtained from the proportions C1, C3, C6 which are in
chemical curing for 30 days and dried for 15 days.
5. CONCLUSION
• From the above results it is apparent that Geopolymer concrete based on GGBS and metakaolin has
got more compressive strength than conventional concrete.
• It is observed that the Compressive, Flexural and Split Tensile strengths of Geopolymer Concrete are
increased with increase in percentage of Metakaolin quantity i.e GGBS 0%-MK 100% and decreased
with increase in GGBS irrespective of curing period.
• The green concrete resists the attack of various chemicals and therefore, it is durable for the given
mix proportion.
• Compressive, Flexural and split tensile strengths vary in direct relation to age for a given proportion
of a mix.
• Proportion C1obtained the maximum in percentage reduction of 0.73 in weight for 30 days of chemical
curing (Na2SO4).

• Proportion C6 obtained the maximum in percentage reduction of 15.28 in Compressive strength for
30 days of chemical curing (Na2SO4).
