Effect of Core Strength Training and Yogasana Practices On Selected Health Related Physical Fitness Components among Female Athletes
The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of core strength training and yogasana practices on selected physical fitness components among female athletes. To achieve the purpose of the study forty-five (N = 45) female athletes, they were selected randomly in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 14 to 19 years. They are divided into three equal groups consists of fifteen subjects each (n = 15) were named experimental group I underwent core strength training and experimental group II underwent yogasana practices and group – III as a control. The period of experimentations is limited to 15 weeks, 4 days a week and 45 to 60 minutes per day with proper warming-up and cooling down regimen. The selected health-related physical fitness components such as muscular strength and muscular endurance were selected as criterion variables and tested. The core strength training and the yogic practices were selected as training protocol. The core strength training will be given based on individuals 1 RM to set the load and the intensity will be set between 75% to 90% The pre-test and post-test means of experimental groups I, II and control group will test for significance by applying the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The level of confidence is fixed at 0.05, for significance. In addition to this, Scheffes posthoc test will be employed, when the F-ratio of the adjusted post-test means is significant, to find out the paired mean difference if any among the groups for each variable, separately. Based on the result of the study there was a significant change on health-related physical fitness performance due to core strength training and yogic practice.

Management of a Patient with Temporomandibular Disorder and Trauma from Occlusion by using a Modified Hawley’s Appliance and a Modified Essix Retainer
The occlusal disharmony has been proven to cause Temporomandibular Disorder(TMD) but not for every patient with occlusal interference. Elimination of occlusal interference and subsequent stabilizing of occlusion is the most important aspect of treating temporomandibular disorder 1.The concept of Temporomandibular Disorder(TMD) usually includes a wide variety of signs and symptoms such as pain from the jaw muscles or on mandibular movement, clicking sound, locking/luxation of joints as well as restricted mandibular movement. Often, TMD has been evaluated on the basis of variation in rather insignificant signs and symptoms, for instance, variation in muscle sites that are tender to palpation, without correlation to experienced problems. The etiology of TMD is usually considered multifactorial. Untreated malocclusion, unstable occlusion, stress, psychologic factors, trauma, individual predisposition and structural conditions have been suggested as possible etiologic factors.

A Study on Training and Development at Galla Foods, Rangampet, Chittor
Employee training is the most important subsystem of human resource development. Training is the specialized function and is one of the fundamental and operative functions of Human resource management. Hence my study is in “Training and Development” i.e., how far the organization is able to achieve the goals, improving its productivity and also employee efficiency through Training and Development.

A Study of Sustainable Transportation System in Ahmedabad and Delhi
This paper on sustainable urban transport attempts to overview an all-inclusive set of indicators which are taken up by planners, authorities in order to help cities for developing an integrated and sustainable transportation system. Developing countries like India, where unplanned urbanization and unparalleled growth in motorization have led to increased focus on sustainable use of mass transit systems like commuter rails and bus transportation. An integrated transportation strategy is most needed so that these modes of transport are integrated efficiently to facilitate the sustainable transportation. The vision of planners is to ensure easy access, safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable mobility for all sections of the society in our cities. The present transport system in most of the Indian cities is stressed under an urban environment which is made up of different sub-systems. Hence it is obvious to understand how these subsystems perform in order to have a sustainable mass-transit transportation network. The various modes of urban transportation – BRTS, Metro, Bicycle-sharing, usage of CNG fuels – currently available in the city of Ahmedabad and Delhi are discussed in the paper in the context of urban transport characteristics, public transport, and non-motorized transport. For promoting sustainable urban transport in a holistic manner it is equally important to understand the social, economic and environmental sustainability of each of these sub-systems.

Energy Management in Indian Urban Transportation Sector – Issues and Challenges
The urban development in most of the Indian cities is the result of laissez-faire development with ribbon extension along the major arterials emerging out of the city core, the Central Business District (CBD). Work trips constitute the majority of the trips in urban areas and these are originating from residential locations to the work places most often called as the CBD areas. Work mean trip length and Passenger-Km are used as proxy to measure energy consumed in the transportation sector. Increase in spatial separation between the residential location and work places result in the long commuting distance and poor accessibility to the peripheral residential locations are encouraging more dependence on private and intermediate public transport. In this paper the problems associated with urban transport and the possible solutions are discussed. Also, the concept of Compact City as an attempt to integrated – land use-transportation is also presented.

Experimental Investigation of Compressive Strength Properties of Eco-Friendly Concrete
The rapid Urbanization and Industrialization all over the world has resulted in the large deposition of Plastic waste and Waste Tyre Rubber. This waste can be utilized under the proper condition to reduce the Cement content in Concrete. M 30 concrete is used for most of the constructional works. The strength of these concrete results has compared with concrete obtained of Plastic waste and Waste Tyre Rubber varying from 0% to 20%. Experimental investigations comprised of testing physical requirements of Coarse Aggregates, Fine Aggregates, Cement and the modifier Waste Plastic and Waste Tyre rubber. M 30 concrete design mix considered as per IS 10262-1982. The said percentage of modifier was blended with the cement concrete mix and the optimum modifier content was found. Cubes and Cylinders were cast and tested for 28 days strength. These tests revealed that by adding Waste plastics and rubber as a partial replacement in Fine Aggregate and Coarse aggregate by volume, the strength of concrete decreased. The cube strength decreased as the percentage replacement increased due to their poor binding properties. By using Plastic waste and Waste Tyre Rubber as a modifier, we can reduce the quantity of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate by their volume, hence be decreasing the overall cost of construction. The modified cement concrete can be used in the construction of small drainage works and rigid pavement. Effective utilization of waste plastics can be done for a good cause of protecting the global environment and effective solid waste management.
