Structural behavior of ferrocement self compacting concrete using M-sand under axial and lateral pressure load
Water Tanks are used for the collection and storage of water for drinking, washing, animal use, irrigation and agricultural purpose. The self -compacted concrete is an innovative product in the civil engineering field in India. M sand is produced by reducing large pieces of aggregate into sand-sized particles. An experimental program was designed in the current work to examine the structural behavior of ferrocement self-compacting concrete using M sand under axial and lateral pressure load. M sand is used in mixtures in an area where the natural sand is not available. The size of M sand is less than 4.75mm. The cost of construction can be controlled by the use of M and is the alternative material for construction. The ferrocement tanks have better corrosion resistance and they have lower maintenance costs than steel tanks. In this method of construction provides durable and high strength water tanks. The main objective of the project is studying the structural behavior of ferrocement self-compacting concrete using M sand under axial and lateral pressure load. The matrix was designed to have high strength, low water to binder ratio, flow characteristics and high durability. Depends a lot of factors, in SCC adding silica fume as a mineral admixture, gelinium as a chemical admixture and using M and is the alternative material for natural sand. In this present investigation, the structural behavior of the ferrocement tanks will be tested in terms of strength, cracking behavior and energy absorption.

Experimental analysis on Expanded Polystyrene Shortcreting panel
Affordable quality housing is vital in developing countries to meet their growing population. Development of a new cost-effective system is crucial to fulfilling these demands. In view of this, a study is carried out to develop Expanded polystyrene (EPS), as a new affordable building system. Experimental investigation and finite element analysis to study the structural behavior of the EPS panel under axial load are undertaken. The panel consists of lightweight Structural panel consisting of an insulated polystyrene core sandwiched between two engineered layers of Galvanized Steel welded wire fabric mesh. To complete the panel from the process a Galvanised steel wire truss is pierced completely through the polystyrene core and welded to each of the outer layer sheets of Galvanized steel welded wire fabric mesh. The panels are loaded with axial load until failure. The ultimate load carrying capacity, load-lateral deflection profile, strain distributions, and the failure mode are recorded. Partial composite behaviors are observed in all specimens when the cracking load is achieved. Finite element analysis is also carried out to study the effect of slenderness ratio and shear connectors affect the strength and behavior of the panels. An empirical equation to predict the maximum load which is the major parameters that carrying capacity of the panels is proposed. The Eps panel system proposed in this research is able to achieve the intended strength for use in low rise building. The panel building system has tremendous flexibility–it can be used in place of wood or metal-framed walls, masonry block walls or precast panels. It is an excellent structural system that can be used in floors, ceilings, and roofs. The panel building system saves construction time while providing greater structural integrity. As an eco-friendly v alternative building system, panel components are manufactured with all recycled plastics and steel – no forest products are used. The panel building system is safe and friendly to humans and wildlife. Also by the use of expanded polystyrene, we can standardize the climatic conditions inside the building. The cost of the construction is also reducing by the usage of expanded polystyrene wall panels in the construction of building.

Social hierarchies and technological practices: The making of documentary films in India
Abstract: This article is premised on a critique of the view that technological capacities are independent of social hierarchies and are increasingly becoming participatory, allowing the entry of individuals from different levels of social strata. In response to the work Jacques Ellul and Francois Hetman, this paper argues that knowledge of technology, while indeed providing a momentary space for decision-making, does not necessarily restructure social hierarchies. Through case studies presented from the world of Indian documentary filmmaking, this paper puts forth the view that technology operators, despite being technologically advanced, do not break into the filmmaking hierarchical order. This remains true even where technical knowledge rests most with those in the lowest rungs of the filmmaking ladder. Instead, technological knowledge provides the scope for other kinds of relationships to develop, such as those of ‘trusting the technician’ or ‘admiration for the technician’s work’. This admiration is especially acquired through techniques of improvisation that the technological operator becomes proficient in. Furthermore, what continues to define documentary filmmaking hierarchy is conceptualization capacities of the practitioners, which are influenced by a similarity in socio-cultural backgrounds and film school training accessible to only a limited few.

Solid waste management in railway wagon
Solid waste management has been a major problem in railway wagons for many decades in India. It is a well-known fact that if solid waste is not taken care properly it is going to harm the environment drastically. The purpose of this project is to collect solid waste thrown out of the window by the passengers and recycle or reuse. Two conveyor belts are fixed one above another between two parallel frames of the window. Four collecting tanks, each pair at both ends of one conveyor belt are also attached. The tanks are equipped with a level sensor (Ultrasonic sensor) and a GSM module. Two outlet pipes are attached from inside that direct the waste onto the conveyor. Inside the coach, each coop is provided with a switch, which on pressing the conveyor belt starts and thus prevent it to run for the whole time without any work to be done. The whole system comprising of two sets of the conveyor belt is enclosed in a casing between the parallel frames of the window.

Image encryption predicated on segmented singular value decomposition using FrFT
The protection of digital information and pictures has an integral function in defense as well as biomedical image handling applications. The formula which is usually to be utilized for the protection of data gives strength from any sort of incorrect supplies to the unwanted consumer. The idea of share matrix S(k;n) m for the creation of shares has been investigated. These types of shares give strength to the security or encryption of confidential information and images. In this article, the paper illustrates the utilization of share generation idea for encryption of the digital pictures in the SVD domain. The singular value of the SVD component functions as a good choice to create the shares of the picture. To bring further improvement in the robustness, we apply the Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT). The sequence of the FrFT (1; 2) combined with the singular vectors (that is U and V) parts of the initial/base image functions similar to keys. Most of the state-of-the-art techniques are also studied combined with the suggested technique. A variety of quantitative parameters such as for example speed, Number of Pixels Change Rate (NPCR), Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI), entropy, correlation coefficient, key sensitivity and Mean Square Error (MSE) has been completely researched to examine the overall performance of the suggested technique.We find our suggested technique works more effectively or perhaps comparable sufficiently.

Cast Partial Denture: A Preferred Choice of the Patient over Acrylic Partial and Flexible Denture- A Case Report
Acrylic partial denture is a preferred choice of treatment for partially edentulous individuals because of the low cost and ease of fabrication. But there are lots of disadvantages for it because of its semi porous nature, low strength, thickness of the denture base etc. It also results in altered taste sensation, hampered speech and reduced heat perception by the patient. Cast partial denture is a treatment modality which has been proved through ages for treating partially edentulous individuals, but still not practiced commonly mainly because of the economic viability and fabrication difficulty. In this case report the patient is provided with full acrylic denture, a flexible denture and a cast partial denture and the patient’s perception towards the treatment is assessed.
