Ergonomic analysis of bed for bedridden patient- An interdisciplinary overview

This review paper mainly focuses on ergonomics problem which is mainly related to bedridden patients and caretaker of those patients. A bed plays a key role in the patients' life, if ergonomically bed is not suitable for patients then he can't recover fast & also the person who takes care of the patient they go through some injuries or accident. Designing a healthcare facility without giving sufficient consideration to the users who will perform their activities in it may lead to dysfunctional workplace. Like assisted living facilities, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, as well as in home health care services, the design of hospital bed depends largely on users’ anthropometric characteristics to ensure comfort, safety, and productivity of health care service. In attempting to meet the patients’ needs, a survey paper was studied for many cases (patients and caregivers point of view) which aimed at proposing a new prototype to provide their needs.

Experiment on soil properties made with geocell-shredded tyres reinforced sand

Soil reinforcement is one of the most popular ground improvement techniques. Availability of different material and techniques for reinforcement is one of the major reasons for the continuous increase in the application of the soil reinforcement. Rapid industrialization is full filling the need of the present time and it is also producing a huge amount of waste Under the present investigation, a detailed parametric study through a series of triaxial experiments has been carried out to develop an understanding of the behavior of geocell-shredded tyres reinforced sand under triaxial loading. The influence of various parameters pertaining to geocell- shredded tyres reinforced soil such as relative densities (i.e., 30%, 50%, 70%), confining pressures (i.e., 50kPa, 100kPa, 200kPa), types of geocells (i.e., M=4.79, 3.23), and shredded tyres content (i.e., 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) have been studied extensively in a systematic manner. The results of the triaxial tests show that the stiffness and the load carrying capacity of the soil improve substantially with the provision of shredded tyres reinforcement in content 10% and 20% respectively while results of tyre content 30% and 40% show less stiffness and the load carrying capacity of the soil. The stiffness and load carrying capacity of the soil also improves with the provision of reinforcement of soil using geocells and also improves with the provision of reinforcement of soil using geocell-shredded tyres. When geocells are used with shredded tyres for reinforcement of soil then improved results have been seen in 10%, 20%, and 30% tyre content as compare to geocell reinforcement of soil without shredded tyres. While 40% of tyre content shows less load carrying capacity as compare to lesser contents of shredded tyres.

Leach based routing protocol in wireless sensor networks

The main purpose of wireless sensor networks to manage conventional systems is to adjust the vitality of systems and extend the entire life of the system. The wireless sensor networks have limited energy to micro sensor nodes. When such nodes lose their force absolutely, verbal altercation stops. Wireless sensor networks have the least effort and mandatory sensor hubs with a large degree of control. A sensor hub detects information in numerous applications on wireless sensor networks and transmits it to the sink through solitary or multi-jump routes. A hierarchal-based routing protocol is mainly used in the field of energy consumption. LEACH is also clustering based routing protocol. The main aim of this research is to create a number of rules to offer better and reliable network services for wireless sensors through stable networks with nodes with long service life. Reliable is a durable and better performance platform. In this paper, we are implementing a new algorithm based on soft and hard thresholding for 2-tier cluster head formation. First, the energy efficient routing protocol is studied and analyzed. Then we use new thresholding technology algorithms. It will help in improving the network life time. And also works on alive nodes, throughput etc.

Designing and implementing result reporting tool using OLAP technology

A large amount of data is generated in educational institutes. The produced data does not provide a clear picture due to which the important details might not be visible. This data can be used in different ways if it is analyzed properly. Analysis of data plays an important role in the understanding of information. The main objective of this paper is to develop a web-based software which evaluates the performance of students, faculty, departments and predict the placement of students which will eventually help in evaluating students potential strengths and weaknesses for the growth of the institutes. As data sets have grown in size and has become more complex, therefore this has made efficiency of data mining algorithms to decrease. So OLAP technology is used in this paper to analyze database information from multiple databases at one time and its data is stored in the multidimensional database.

Assessment of ski-jump bucket parameters for sluice spillway of Himalayan dam by hydraulic model studies

Ski jump buckets are very popular type of energy dissipators for dam spillways. These ski jump buckets are provided where the tailwater levels downstream of the spillway are such low that stilling basins type of energy dissipator cannot be provided. The design of ski jump bucket for a spillway of a dam is very complex in nature, as it involves hydraulic variables such as discharge intensity, head over the spillway, lip angle, lip elevation, full reservoir level, tailwater level, velocity head of jet at bucket lip, bucket radius and frictional losses. Himalayan dams are mainly run- of- river schemes mainly meant for hydropower generation and where poundages are minimum and also serve dual purposes of disposing of flood and sediments. Many of Himalayan dam sluice spillways are provided with ski jump buckets as energy dissipators. Sometimes ski jump buckets are provided when the tailwater levels are higher and bucket lip is provided under submerged condition. Computing jet trajectory length and trajectory height of ski jump bucket is important as the throw distance play a decisive role in fixing downstream structures like downstream cofferdam, tailrace outfalls, diversion tunnels, etc. Also, throw height computation is important to factor in fixing the heights of divider walls and training walls of the spillway. Various empirical formulae are available in the literature for finding out the throw distance of trajectory buckets. But hydraulic model studies play a crucial role in assessing the performance of ski jump buckets. The hydraulic model is the best tool to design or modify the spillways and energy dissipators by making the model run for different discharges and gate operation schedules prior to the construction of project.

Cleaner production assessment in optical brightening agent manufacturing industry

Optical Brightening Agents (OBA) manufacturing industry is currently facing tough market competition and environmental issues, demanding productivity improvement and waste reduction by adopting Cleaner Production (CP) techniques. Majority of OBA manufacturing industries are operated based on conventional practices generating higher quantum of wastes. Adoption of adequate CP options would not only result in waste reduction but also in productivity improvement by better processes efficiencies, optimization of resource consumption, etc. During the study, probable CP options have been identified based on the causes of generation waste streams and then identified CP options were screened and evaluated based on their economic feasibilities. It was attempted to determine costs and benefits possible from eliminating/reducing the waste streams in monetary terms and also to calculate the payback period for each of the CP options. The aim of this study was to derive the CP options that may be practically implemented by the industry for reducing the waste generation and improving productivity.
