Where We're Headed: Construction Technology Trends for 2015Bridgit
Technology is evolving at an exponential rate. Each year we will see more impressive advancements than the last, and the time between a technology being born and its practical application will continue to become shorter and shorter.
Today, we’re seeing a lot of advancements that deal with the blending of the digital and physical worlds such as 3D printing and augmented reality. Making right now, a more important time than ever for construction professionals to pay attention to emerging trends in technology and ideate around how these trends can help in the industry.
Here is a compilation of trends in construction technology that are going to be important to pay attention to in 2015 and beyond.

Integrated Air Conditioning Unit for AutomobilesIJARTES
Integrated Air Conditioning Unit for
Automobiles
In this paper, the investigation was made for the utilization
of waste heat in an improvised manner, so that the total
power of the automobile is not going to change and the fuel
efficiency is going to be enhanced. Here the use of vapor
absorption refrigeration system for the air conditioning
system was proposed and analyzed. This system was taken as
it can run on very low grade energy, such as waste heat of
the exhaust gas. The recent trend is to use the vapor
compression refrigeration system, where the principal part is
the compressor, which takes the power from the engine or
from auxiliary power unit and hence the fuel consumption
rate is increased. In the recent global scenario reducing the
fuel consumption is the main research area. The cooling
load of the automobile is estimated about 1.37 TR and the
measured cop value for the proposed model is varied from
0.85 to 1.04.
Here the main problem definition is to design an air
conditioning system which runs on exhaust gas waste heat
by exchanging with the refrigerant R134-a inside a
generator which is the replacement of the compressor in a
vapor absorption refrigeration system. The calculation
related to the design of proposed shell and tube heat
exchanger i.e. the generator for the model is carried out and
the rest design is theoretical study and proposed model to be
implemented in large scale after prototype model testing.

Awareness in respect of Emerging Trends in Construction technology play a vital role in mitigating impacts of built environment on natural environment. Use of alternative materials and technologies impel towards sustainable development. This is an effort to bridge the gap between Industry and academia.
Cities, globally have been recognised as the major promoters of global warming, climate change and increasing carbon footprints. Within cities, it is the built environment and transportation, which are primarily responsible for making them unsustainable. Majority of problems related to urban sustainability are the outcome of the manner in which buildings are planned , designed , constructed and operated. Buildings, as definers of character and fabric of any city, are known for their positivity, negativities, dualities and contradictions. Consuming nearly half of the global energy, majority of resources and generating large carbon emissions, buildings are largely responsible for making cities unsustainable. This call for making buildings energy efficient and least consumers of resources. Sustainable Development Goals also mandate the critical role of buildings in promoting global sustainability. However, majority of buildings are designed and constructed , without any concern for energy, resources and environment. Making buildings minimum consumers of energy and resources would require changing the traditional approach to designing the buildings; making building green; considering relevance of climate,site and orientation, ; life-cycle assessment ;energy ,water efficiency and; building materials.

building are known to be largest consumers of enrgy, resources, water and generators of waste. They consume largest energy and responsible for climate change and global warming. Within buildings roof area remains the arae which is most unused, abused and misused space, which can be effectively leveraged to minimise the adverse impact of buildings on resources, energy, climate change etc. It can cool the buildings, bring down the energy use, make cities free from disasters and do large number of positivity to buildinga, climate, environment . Green roofs remains an area, potential of which remains largely unexplored. It needs to studied, analysed with policy options evolved to make it a distict reality in the buildings

Urbanisation is the challenge of the future. Sustainable cities is the need of the hour. This is useful for the Environmental Studies students of Grade X ICSE.
Built environment created in the past was invariably based on nature and optimally using resources made available by nature to meet the basic requirement of ventilation, heating and cooling of the buildings in order to create ambient environment for quality living. Using local materials and local skills ,built environment created was based on adopting passive approach and passive methods of making buildings sustainable. Cities in the past were made compact to make them human centric, energy efficient, land efficient and promoting safety and security. Mechanism of mixed landuse was used to make cities more humane and social. Cities were treated, planned and designed as integrated entities. Water was valued and innovative mechanisms were used to conserve, preserve and promote availability of water. Streets dominated the planning of human settlements instead of roads. Despite being planned and developed as compact cities, adequate public spaces were made integral part of planning process. Planning focused on creating self-sustaining communities , mutually supporting each other. Fundamental principal was promoting planning and living based on need and not greed. Nature was the governing principle of planning and nature based solutions were evolved, devolved and made applicable in making human settlements sustainable and livable. Back to basic remains a great option and agenda to understand the principles which can be used to charter the future agenda for growth and development.
Making Cities Zero Carbon -- issues and optionJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Cities are known for their dualities and contradictions, positivity and negativities, inclusion and exclusion, poverty and prosperity, luxury housing and slums, planned and unplanned development, innovations and depravity, good and bad, pleasant and ugliness. All these contradictions are the outcome of the way we are planning, designing and managing cities. If cities are bringing prosperity, they are also creating global crisis. Majority of global ills of global warming, rising temperature, natural crisis is the outcome of how we are treating the cities. Cities are being conceived as anti-thesis to nature and accordingly they are creating crisis including crisis of very human existence. Cities need to be treated in a better and rational manner by planning and designing them in logical manner. Cities need to be looked as integral part of nature and not looked as a commodity for sale and making profit. Cities not to be treated as a market place where one hopes to earn money and generate wealth. They have to be looked as places for human living – giving human beings an environment, where they can lead happy and healthy life. Cities need to be planned with nature using natural resources. They need to be made more effective and efficient. Cities need to be made producers rather than consumers of natural and non-renewable resources. They need to be made more livable and supportive to human living and nature. Cities need respect and care. We need to heal its wounds. If cites continue to be treated like they are being treated now, they are going to become major source of impending crisis , making human living most challenging on this planet. Accordingly, we need to relook, review, redefine and revise our options of planning, travel and creating built environment.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

PROBLEMS OF A CITY
SCARCITY OF RESOURCES- Limited resources like
energy, healthcare, housing, and water. Freshwater
consumption is expected to rise 25% by 2030 due
largely to the increase in population.
INADEQUATE AND DETERIORATING
INFRASTRUCTURE- Most of the key
infrastructure components, like bridges, drinking
water, energy, roads, schools, transportation, and
water, not adequate to provide services to rapidly
growing populations.
ENERGY SHORTAGES AND PRICE INSTABILITY-
Large urban populations are a major driver of
this trend, and cities often struggle to adequately
meet demand due to a lack of supply as well as
inefficient transmission and distribution systems
to the end customer.
26. PROBLEMS IN A CITY 2/4
PROBLEMS OF A CITY (CONTD)
ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH CONCERNS-
The rise in global temperature leads to crazy
things — from hotter heat spells and droughts
in some places, to colder cold spells and more
violent storms, more intense flooding, forest
fires, and species loss in other places. Negative
human health impacts are linked to
environmental impacts — such as air pollution
from burning fossil fuels contribute to air
quality problems: ―Respiratory disorders due to
increase in smog level can damage lung tissue,
and is especially harmful for those with asthma
and other chronic lung diseases.

DEMAND FOR BETTER ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES AND SOCIAL
BENEFITS- It’s important to
remember that the ultimate driver of
rapid urbanization is
overwhelmingly opportunistic — the
pursuit of improved economic
opportunities and social benefits.
The rapid pace of today’s migration
is unprecedented. And the promise
of the smart city is to help ensure
that the economic and social
benefits of urbanization are actually
realized by curbing its negative
consequences.
30. SMART CITIES-SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
WHAT IS A SMART CITY
There are several definitions:
Narrow definition—Cities that use information and
communication technologies to deliver services to
their citizens.
Broader definition- Smart cities use information and
communication technologies (ICT) to be more
intelligent and efficient in the use of resources,
resulting in cost and energy savings, improved
service delivery and quality of life, and reduced
environmental footprint—all supporting innovation
and the low-carbon economy.

people by 2030. This will lead to
further pressures on infrastructure
and basic services.
Madurai is also facing a wide range
of risks that will hinder
future growth and quality of life
unless action is taken soon.
41. Increase in average temperatures and rainfall
variability will lead to wide ranging effects on many
sectors, including food and water systems, human
health, buildings, transport, energy and ecosystems.
The city is likely to
be particularly
impacted by
climate change.
Madurai lies in a
warm- humid
climatic zone,
which is hot and
dry with
intermittent and
irregular rainfall.
42. MAJOR RISKS FACING MADURAI
FLOODING:
The areas which are particularly prone to flooding
include parts of the city which lie within the natural
floodplain of the river and drainage channels.
WATER DISTRIBUTION:
Lack of Network of water distribution within the city and
newly expanding areas.
INADEQUATE GROUNDWATER:
Groundwater serving the city is not of good quality due
to inadequate sanitation infrastructure and seepage of
pollutants into the water table.
DEGRADING ECOSYSTEM:
Ecosystem services such as oxygen production, carbon
storage, natural filtering of toxins and pollutants etc are
reducing due to degrading ecosystem.
43. BLUE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE APPROACH
This approach demonstrates how to manage the
interconnected set of challenges relating to Water
Resources management, water supply and water quality,
sanitation, solid waste management, Flooding and
conservation of natural ecosystems in the context of the
urban development trajectory and its changing climate.
The city government
and stakeholders
identified ‗blue green
infrastructure‘ as the
priority issue that
required action.

53. Good Indoor air quality
encompasses factors as
maintenance of
acceptable temperature,
relative humidity, control
of airborne contaminants,
and adequate ventilation.
Thermal comfort begins
with good design, proper
building management,
and seeks to avoid
uneven temperatures,
radiant heat gains or
losses (e.g., from window
areas), draftiness,
stuffiness, excessive
dryness, or high relative
humidity .

core of the stacked blocks is filled with grout to form a
solid concrete core that separates the other two air
cores.
