This document discusses the application of nanotechnology in construction. It begins by defining nanotechnology as the study and manipulation of matter at the nanoscale. It then outlines several nanomaterials that are being used in construction, such as carbon nanotubes, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and tungsten oxide. These nanomaterials can improve properties like strength, conductivity, and self-cleaning abilities when added to materials like concrete, steel, wood, glass, and coatings. The document also discusses potential barriers to nanotechnology like health effects, environmental impacts, and cost, but concludes that with further research, nanotechnology could allow for more durable and economical infrastructure.
Construction is a building method that uses bales of straw (commonly wheat, rice, rye, oats straw) as structural elements, building insulation or both. This construction method is commonly used in natural building or “brown” construction projects.
In its natural form, bamboo as a construction material is traditionally associated with the cultures of South Asia, East Asia and the South Pacific, to some extent in Central and South America, and by extension in the aesthetic of Tiki culture. In China and India, bamboo was used to hold up simple suspension bridges, either by making cables of split bamboo or twisting whole culms of sufficiently pliable bamboo together. One such bridge in the area of Qian-Xian is referenced in writings dating back to 960 AD and may have stood since as far back as the third century BC, due largely to continuous maintenance.
Bamboo has also long been used as scaffolding; the practice has been banned in China for buildings over six stories, but is still in continuous use for skyscrapers in Hong Kong.[6] In the Philippines, the nipa hut is a fairly typical example of the most basic sort of housing where bamboo is used; the walls are split and woven bamboo, and bamboo slats and poles may be used as its support. In Japanese architecture, bamboo is used primarily as a supplemental and/or decorative element in buildings such as fencing, fountains, grates and gutters, largely due to the ready abundance of quality timber.
It is all about sustainable buildings or green buildings and a brief study of some sustainable building materials we can use for making a building sustainable and green.
This powerpoint presentation covers the role of Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering materials, future challenge and direction, impact of nano technology in civil engineering, the merits & demerits of nanotechnology.

Application of Nano Technology in Civil Engineering Construction MaterialsJournal For Research
There are many technologies whose applications are widely used in branch of civil engineering. There are both advantages and disadvantages of such technologies. But by using Nanotechnology the performance of material can be enhanced .Nanotechnology deals with understanding and controlling matter, atoms and molecules in the range of 0.1–100 nm (10-9 m). It creates materials, devices, and systems with new properties and functions. Nanoparticles have more surface area relative to their volume, making them useful in energy storage and for making composite materials. Nano materials are also able to be combined with biological materials, producing new structures that have properties of both types of materials. The role of nanotechnology in the infrastructure systems has the potential to set the civil engineering on a different height and widen the vision of civil engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

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.

3. Introduction
We are very familiar with the concept of getting raw
materials, bringing them together in an organized way and
then putting them together into a recognizable form.
This is our role in society and we have performed it well for
hundreds or thousands of years. So we can say construction
is definitely not a new science or technology and yet it has
undergone great changes over its history.
In the same vein, nanotechnology is not a new science and it
is not a new technology either. It is rather an extension of the
sciences and technologies that have already been in
development for many years.
4. Nano-science and
nanotechnology are the study and
application of extremely small
things and can be used across all
the other science fields, such as
chemistry, biology, physics,
materials science, and
engineering.
Nanotechnology is an enabling
technology that allows us to develop
materials with improved or totally
new properties.
What is Nanotechnology ?

14. Need of nanotechnology in steel:-
Fatigue is a significant issue that can lead to
the structural failure of steel subject to cyclic
loading, such as in bridges or towers.
Stress risers are responsible for initiating
cracks from which fatigue failure results.
Addition of copper nanoparticles reduces
the surface unevenness of steel which then
limits the number of stress risers.

15. Temperature restriction:-
Above 750 F, steel starts to loose
its structural integrity, and at 1000
F, steel loses 50 % of its strength
Infusion of steel with Nano scale
copper particles could maintain
