Situated in northern Scotland, Findhorn Ecovillage was founded in the 1960s and has since grown to over 500 residents living in 65 eco-buildings. The community aims to demonstrate sustainable development through ecological housing, renewable energy systems, organic food production, and sustainable economics. Notable achievements include producing more electricity than needed through four community-owned wind turbines, an ecologically engineered sewage treatment plant, and establishing their own local currency. Findhorn has received several awards for its pioneering work in sustainable living.

The vernacular architecture of Kerala includes a lot of new techniques and good use of local available materials
Club Mahindra Ashtamudi Resort in Kerala was recently awarded with PLATINUM certification under IGBC Green Resorts Rating. The project has adopted Vernacular architectural elements and reflects the characteristics of the local environment, culture and materials.
Few of the key green measures in this project include:
- Integrated BMS
- Lighting Power Density (LPD) is 50% lower than ECBC baselines
- CFC and HCFC free HVAC systems
- E-vehicles for movement within premises
- Organic garden
- Solar panels
- Wastewater treatment
- Sensor operated water faucets and lights
- Minimization of Food Wastage
- Zero Waste sent to landfill
- Use of bio-degradable laundry bags
Mahindra Holiday & Resorts India Limited (MHRIL) is an IGBC Founding member. IGBC appreciates the holistic sustainability initiatives undertaken by MHRIL. IGBC would continue to handhold multiple Club Mahindra resorts across the country to become GREEN.
Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has launched the Green Resorts Rating to address the need for sustainable development in the hospitality sector. This rating creates a win-win-win situation for all the stakeholders of a resort – Guest, Owner and Society.

DUAYEE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL PRELIMINARY RESEARCH TOWARDS BUILDING A MODEL SUSTAINABLE VILLAGE | Sustainable Village Model Preliminary Research | Ecosa Institute | Summer 2010
Model Sustainable Village
Project Description
Ecosa has been asked by Peter Gbelia, the Executive Director of the Empowerment Society, to create a master plan for a sustainable intervention in the village of Duayee in Liberia, Africa. This plan is intended to develop a model approach to sustaining the culture, environment, and economy of the Liberian people.
The village we will be working with is Duayee located near the Yah river. The goal is to create Local Economic Development (LED) by designing a system where more food is produced (improved agro-techniques, seeds, irrigation, fertilizers, fish farm, swamp rice), the surplus can be sold at market creating economic growth, and revenue invested back into human capital and community infrastructure.
This is a challenging project in as much as it is based in a non-western culture and needs to respond to needs that are very different to US expectations. Prior to the start of this design, each participant was required to read the report and proposal provided by the Empowerment Project and the Millennium Development Report. The goal of this project was to research alternative development patterns, materials, social and economic systems to create an integrated design that includes all elements of sustainability from materials to permaculture, energy to food supplies. ECOSA is proposing a vocational school as the best way to illustrate, educate about, and build a truly sustainable village. Through the vocational school, Duayee will be able to educate its population and create a skilled work force by allowing every project in the village to be a learning experience that will expand upon the village's knowledge and skill sets. Download the final Duayee Vocational School Proposal, and download the preliminary Research Presentation on Liberia.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
Final project report on grocery store management system..pdfKamal Acharya
In today’s fast-changing business environment, it’s extremely important to be able to respond to client needs in the most effective and timely manner. If your customers wish to see your business online and have instant access to your products or services.
Online Grocery Store is an e-commerce website, which retails various grocery products. This project allows viewing various products available enables registered users to purchase desired products instantly using Paytm, UPI payment processor (Instant Pay) and also can place order by using Cash on Delivery (Pay Later) option. This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
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.
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.
