Water Scarcity and Rain Harvesting Method- A Case Study of Diphu Town, Assam India

Water is the basic need for the all the living things in different ways including the ecosystem in which we are all part of. The importance of water is well known. Water is our most precious natural resources. Its uses are innumerable and its importance cannot be underestimated. Its role ranges from domestic uses, agricultural and industry to religious, recreation, landscape decoration and even therapy. Water is basic to life. Due to the growing population over the decades, millions of people worldwide suffer from the lack of water especially in the urban areas where population concentration is very high. Because of this the demand of water is very high with overuse of ground water resulted in a drop in water table levels and have made the cost of water is high. It is found that rain harvesting, the collection of rain water from surfaces upon which it falls, is a long standing practice of many countries still use as a means for dealing with water problems of today. Rain is harvested in many ways and it is vital supplementary source of water. Diphu is the hilly town, the district headquarter of Karbi Anglong district, Assam, in the north eastern state part of India. The largest administrative district with over population of 61000. Located at an altitude of 186 m (610 ft) has suffered acute water problems, the mismanagement of the town committee, lack of proper knowledge on ground water potential areas has led the people suffered silently , pay a huge sum of money to buy a tank of water. This paper tries to attempt to understand the water scarcity problem’s as well the reason and the rainwater harvesting method practice by the local people. Keywords: water, scarcity, rain harvesting, population increase;

Monitoring and Controlling of Different Process Parameters by Using LabVIEW and Arduino

The design and implementation of process under consideration is done by using LABVIEW software and Arduino Uno. Temperature and level sensors are used to measure temperature as well as level. LabVIEW is used to control temperature and level within set values. The system contains Arduino unit interface in between the PC, the sensors circuit and hardware. Monitoring and controlling of parameter is done using LabVIEW. In general boiler has temperature greater than 200 Degree Celsius, so this is not possible practically to create such environment in laboratory, so a miniature boiler tank model is used where temperature rises up to 150 Degree Celsius. In laboratory model is prepared for measurement of temperature and level measurement with temperature ranges from -55 to 155 deg. C. The LabVIEW monitors and controls temperature, level with set points.

Orthotic (Pressure Sensing Insole) Using FSR Sensor for People Suffering With Foot Pronation

Technological advancements have led to the development of numerous orthotics for the physical assistance and restoration of human locomotion. While many challenges remain with respect to the mechanical design of devices it is atleast equally challenging and important develop strategies to control them in concert with the intentions of the user. Custom fit orthotics, while helpful, fail to completely alleviate pain caused by this illness. A major weakness of these orthotics is their inability to adapt to changing conditions, either in the patient or the ground. There are many avenues of improvement like an orthotic device which detect the ulcer occurance symptoms in the patient.The aim of this paper is to develop an orthotic device that can be used with the patient suffering from foot pronation. Our objective is to make a Pressure sensing insole which can be adjusted in shoe to recognize the foot strike pattern, to adapt changes in foot pattern and pressure during walking, standing and to provide pneumatic stiffness control to correct the foot posture. The system is composed of an insole integrated with FSR Sensor that can be fit in shoe, a Pneumatic control for stiffness variation. This paper presents initial design considerations and the evaluation of a proof of concept system for foot pronation.

Estimation Model on Facade in High Rise Building

As we are aware with the increasing competitive market in the construction industries due upcoming speedy and efficient techniques construction personnel have to be more careful in all their decisions. Many existing studies shows schedule management focus on the planning stage particularly on schedule estimate based on labor and equipment resources. For this study, facade was selected because of its importance in construction activity in terms of schedule estimation for high rise construction. To develop a schedule estimation model for facade, an in depth case study was conducted. Results of case study have then used in Monte Carlo Simulation. Finally, by using the results of the simulation, a schedule estimation model for facade construction will be developed conducting multiple regression analysis. This developed model will help the project managers to easily, quickly and accurately perform schedule estimation when problem occur that may cause construction delay and time extension

Current Regulations for Herbal Products

Herbal medicines make up an important component of the modern toward alternative medicine. Herbal medicine is becoming ever more popular in now a day’s world as people seek out natural remedies. Herbal medicines are widely used for treatment of human ailments in various systems of medicines like Ayurvedic, Homeopathic, Sidha, Unani and other regional systems of medicines. Herbal drug products classification vary from country to country, some categories include functional foods, dietary supplements and traditional medicines. A detailed literature survey for regulations of herbal drug products in Europe, US and India, Russia, Africa, south Korea was performed to identify recently introduced changes in regulations or newly introduced regulations compliance with the regulatory bodies. Committee for Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC), Committee of European Medicines Agency (EMA) is developing guidelines for quality, nonclinical studies, clinical efficacy and safety. Traditional herbal medicines registration scheme(THMRS) has been recently introduced by Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA, UK). US FDA has issued draft guidance for Industry on “Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation”. Drugs and Cosmetics Rules have been amended recently to control the quality, safety and efficacy of herbal drug products in India. This article provides an overview of herbal medicines and aimed to explain the regulations of various herbal medicines, standardization of herbal medicines, pharmacovigilance and marketing surveillance regulatory status of herbal medicines.

Review and Study of Water Hyacinth and Their Application on Environment

Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as (common) water hyacinth, is an aquatic plant native to the Amazon basin, and is often a highly problematic invasive species outside its native range. Day by day growth of water hyacinth is increases in maximum amount and it is big challenge to control it. As per observation it is clear that actual application of water hyacinth is useful in number of sector but no one can studied it’s adverse effect on environment. There are no.of research was carried out on that still it is not stated that how it will effect in environment. This paper just go for review of water hyacinth at different aspect
