Planning, scheduling and allocation of resource for cost optimization of multi-storeyed structure

In every construction project, there are two most important factors to be considered in the planning of project i.e. time and cost. Time deals with speed, quality of work and availability of tools and materials whereas cost deals with optimization and availability of resource. The aim of this project is to complete the project within a given time and a budget, and also to achieve the other objectives. The constraints that are observed in every project is time overrun and cost overrun. As we can say it’s a most difficult task for a project managers to practice it, which includes fixed measuring progress, executions as per plan and corrective actions should be taken whenever required. Due to proper planning and scheduling, it gives us a knowledge of proper time and the process of cost mostly remains the same. Basically, cost optimization and allocation of resource directly deals with availability of tools and materials. With a proper sequence of activities with assigned durations and resource, scheduled is prepared. In this project critical path and critical activities are studied with the use of MS-Project 2016, so that activities should be properly observed while execution, so that there will be no delay of time in the project, and also, stay focused on the wastage of materials thus lead to the proper optimization of materials and reduction of cost.

Energy audit: Case study of an Institute

India’s economy is affected immensely by the consumption of energy. Excessive use of fossil fuels for the generation of energy not only increases the emission of greenhouse gases but it also increases the cost of energy. In this project, we highlight that Energy Audit is a continuous process to minimize the losses occurring at the consumer end. By suggesting an alternative energy source, the thesis of this project provides an opportunity to reduce carbon footprints, become energy efficient and in turn support capital investment.

Effect of structured teaching program on knowledge regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation among degree students

The present study entitled “Effect of Structured Teaching Program on Knowledge regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation among Degree students” is based on following Objectives: Assess the pre-test and post-test level of knowledge regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation among degree students; Evaluate the effect of Structured Teaching Program on Knowledge regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation among degree students; Find out the association between the pre-test level of knowledge and selected demographic variables. Methodology: The quantitative approach was used for the study and Pre experimental one group Pre-test Post-test design was selected. This study was based on J W Kenny’s Open System theory. The present study was conducted at MES KVM College, Valancherry among 100-degree students. The samples were selected by using a nonprobability convenient sampling technique. Data were collected by using structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge regarding CPR. Structured Teaching Program was given on the same day and after 7th day the post-test was done, Analysis: Data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The mean post-test knowledge score 21.57 was significantly higher than pre-test knowledge score 12.56. The obtained t value was 27.445 and the p-value was 0.0001. The findings showed that the Structured Teaching Program on CPR was effective. There was a significant association between the pre-test knowledge score with their course of study. The study concluded that a structured teaching program was effective in improving the knowledge of degree students.

Invisible facial flushing in COVID-19 patient rapidly detected by smartphone application: Subclinical discovery with a novel method

No studies of COVID-19 patients mentioned that facial flushing was a clinical feature that could be found. The invisible facial flushing in COVID-19 patient, unrecognized clinical sign with the naked eye could be detected by the smartphone application and probably was the most common clinical features of Coronavirus disease 2019 as seen in dengue infection and influenza. We discovered the innovative method which can detect invisible facial flushing in dengue infection and influenza by using image enhancement with decorrelation combined image segmentation with K-means clustering. We expect to be able to apply to the COVID-19 patient too, because the clinical signs and symptoms, including the immunopathogenesis of dengue infection and influenza, are similar to COVID-19. This is the first case of the COVID-19 patient with the appearance of invisible facial flushing detected by the smartphone application. The innovative application may be useful as a rapid screening tool for the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients in the future. This novel screening tool for diagnosis of COVID-19 patients will help all medical service providers the effective screening tool for the recognition and early diagnosis before performing CT scans and real-time RT PCR (RRT-PCR) assays, especially in some health care facilities where could not be performed due to lack of laboratory support. Furthermore, application in active case finding for COVID-19, the key actions to stop transmission is challenging in countries with community transmission.

IoE – Smart Classroom

This paper explains the functionality of a Smart classroom. The room consists of a home gateway and all the IoT devices like a smart window, laptop, camera, door, and fan are connected to it. An RFID reader is integrated into the door. When the student/faculty scans the student id card (RFID Card)/faculty id card the door automatically opens and the student roll number/faculty id number is stored in the server. The laptop is the admin laptop and all the IoT devices in the room can be controlled and monitored like turn on/turn off the fan, open/close the window, turn on/turn off the camera. The door is connected to the laptop which makes the opening and closing easier when a student/faculty forgot to carry the ID cards. There is a smartphone integrated into the network where the Head of the department can monitor the classroom from anywhere. The camera helps to check whether the classes are functioning properly on time.
