Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: Caudal analgesia is the most commonly used technique for intraoperative and postoperative
analgesia. Adjuvants are the one which prolong analgesia and free of side effects. We compared the OBJECTIVE:
analgesic effects and side-effects of dexamethasone and magnesium added to ropivacaine for caudal analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing
infraumbilical surgeries. The comparative study was conducted after obtaining a MATERIALS AND METHODS pproval from ethical
committee. Written informed consent was obtained from parents of patients on day before the surgery.The comparative study was conducted on
75 patients with ASA class I and II, aged between 3-8 yrs scheduled for infraumbilical surgeries were included in this study.Study has been done
under three groups with each group containing25 patients. Group 1(control) 0.5ml/kg of injection ropivacaine 0.2% alone. Group 2: 0.5ml/kg of
injection ropivacaine 0.2% and magnesium 50mg. Group3:0.5ml/kg of injection ropivacaine 0.2% and dexamethasone 0.1mg/kg. P value
<0.05 was considered statistically signicant. There was a signicant RESULTS: prolongation of duration of analgesia in study groups who
received dexamethasone and magnesium as compared to ropivacaine alone. Regarding the intensity and duration of analgesia there was a
statistically signicant difference between two groups, dexamethasone provides longer duration of analgesia when compared to magnesium.
None of the adjuvants results in either prolonged or excess sedation. No side effects were encountered in either group. When CONCLUSION:
compared to magnesium, dexamethasone added to ropivaciane provide longer duration of caudal analgesia without any side effects
Techno-economics of Fiber vs. Microwave for Mobile Transport Network Deployments [Invited]

Published: March 2023

One of the challenges for network operators is to design and deploy cost-efficient transport networks (TNs) to meet the high capacity and strict latency/reliability requirements of today’s emerging services. Therefore, they need to consider different aspects, including the appropriate technology, the level of reconfigurability, and the functional split option. A crucial aspect of network design is assessing the impact of these aspects against the total cost of ownership (TCO), latency, and reliability performance of a given solution. For this reason, this paper proposes a framework to investigate the TCO, latency, and reliability performance of a set of fiber and microwave-based TN architectures. They are categorized based on their baseband functional split option and the reconfigurability capabilities of the equipment used. The results, based on real data from a non-incumbent operator, show that in most of the considered scenarios, a microwave-based TN exhibits lower TCO than a fiber-based one. The TCO gain may vary with the choice of the functional split option, geo-type, reconfigurability features, fiber trenching costs, and cost of microwave equipment, with a more significant impact in a dense urban geo-type, where for a low layer functional split option the fiber- and microwave-based architectures have a comparable TCO. Finally, it was found that the considered fiber and microwave architectures have almost similar average latency and connection availability performance. Both are suitable to meet the service requirements of 5G and beyond 5G services in most of the considered scenarios. Only in extreme latency-critical scenarios, a small number of the cells might not fully satisfy the latency requirements of a low layer split option due to multiple microwave hops in the microwave-based architecture.
The Optimal Choice of Hypothesis Is the Weakest, Not the Shortest
Authors: Bennett Michael Timothy
Published: March 2023

If A and B are sets such that A is a subset of
B, generalisation may be understood as the inference from
A of a hypothesis sufficient to construct B. One might
infer any number of hypotheses from A, yet only some of those may
generalise to B. How can one know which are likely to generalise?
One strategy is to choose the shortest, equating the ability to compress
information with the ability to generalise (a “proxy for
intelligence”). We examine this in the context of a mathematical
formalism of enactive cognition. We show that compression is neither
necessary nor sufficient to maximise performance (measured in terms of
the probability of a hypothesis generalising). We formulate a proxy
unrelated to length or simplicity, called weakness. We show that if
tasks are uniformly distributed, then there is no choice of proxy that
performs at least as well as weakness maximisation in all tasks while
performing strictly better in at least one. In other words, weakness is
the pareto optimal choice of proxy. In experiments comparing maximum
weakness and minimum description length in the context of binary
arithmetic, the former generalised at between 1.1 and 5
times the rate of the latter. We argue this demonstrates that weakness
is a far better proxy, and explains why Deepmind’s Apperception Engine
is able to generalise effectively.
Transformer in Reinforcement Learning for Decision-Making: A Survey
Authors: Yuan Weilin , Chen Jiaxing , Chen Shaofei , Feng Dawei , Hu Zhenzhen , Li Peng
Published: March 2023

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant decision-making
paradigm and has achieved notable success in many real-world
applications, such as autonomous driving, robotic manipulation, robotic
navigation and gaming AI. However, the powerful abilities of the RL
variants were developed with advanced machine learning techniques. For
example, deep neural networks play a crucial role in unlocking RL’s
potential in large-scale decision-making tasks. Inspired by present day
major successes of Transformer in natural language processing and
computer vision, numerous bottlenecks have been overcome by combining
Transformer with RL for decision-making. This paper presents a
multiangle systematic survey of various Transformerbased RL (TransRL)
models applied in decision-making tasks, including basic models,
advanced algorithms, representative implementation instances,
applications, and known challenges. Our work aims to provide insights
into problems that inherently arise with the current RL approaches, and
examines how we can address them with better TransRL models. To our
knowledge, we are the first to present a comprehensive review of the
recent Transformers research developments in RL for decisionmaking. We
hope this survey provides a comprehensive review of TransRL models and
also inspires the RL community in its pursuit of future directions.
Finally, to keep track of the rapid TransRL developments in the
decision-making domains, we summarize the latest relevant papers and
their open-source implementations at

Published: March 2023

Everyone now has internet and social media access, making it simple to get information and news. On the other hand, there are fake news articles, also. It not only makes difficult for the public to find their truthfulness but also misleads them. Consequently, developing intelligent systems for separating news is critical. In this paper, four deep learning techniques such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks-BiLSTM (CNN-BiLSTM) are used to detect fake news. We trained these models on three large datasets, namely, CoAID, GossipCop, and PolitiFact, that include fake news from social media and news articles. The text is divided into two categories: fake and real. We also trained and compared the results with ten well-known machine-learning classifiers, e.g., Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbors Classifier, etc. The experimental results indicate that the deep learning-based BERT method achieves better accuracy and F1-score of 91.94\% and 92.06\% for PolitiFact, 99.09\% and 98.38\% for CoAID, 85.59\% and 82.40\% for GossipCop, respectively. These results suggest that deep learning algorithms provide favorably accurate results and outperform machine learning models in terms of accuracy.
UAV Waypoint Strategy for COVID-19 Medicine Delivery based on Cheapest Link and Hamilton Circuit Algorithm
Authors: Wastupranata Leonard Matheus
Published: March 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unavoidable disaster. Many COVID-19 sufferers must self-isolate at their respective residences. However, difficult access has hampered the distribution of medicines from nearby hospitals. This paper aims to find the shortest route for UAVs so that they can deliver drugs in the shortest possible time and the minimum distance. The method used is the application of the Hamilton Circuit with the Cheapest Link Algorithm approach so that the distance between houses can be reached without being neglected at all. Flying construction was carried out using Software in The Loop (SITL) and ArduPilot Mission Planner. The results obtained are that routes created using the Cheapest Link Algorithm have an average efficiency of 66.86% better than other Hamilton circuits formed on the same graph.

Published: March 2023

 Whether it’s cellphones, personal computers, or gaming consoles, technology is a part of everyone’s everyday lives, and storage is frequently a problem. One of the solutions we have for this difficulty is the on-demand accessibility of computer framework assets, which enables cloud storage and makes it accessible in any format and from any device. It is a major benefit of cloud computing. Amazon Web Administrations (or basically AWS) may be a secure cloud services stage advertising about everything businesses ought to construct advanced applications with adaptability, versatility, and unwavering quality. Another advantage is that it is significantly less expensive than purchasing items with comparable functionality, such as an SSD storage device. For many enterprises, it is also preferable to host their servers in the cloud using services like Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud. Our main topic of the paper is to compare three different major cloud computing services—AWS, Google, and Azure. Since there are different types of cloud computing services available, we would compare them to determine which is best for usage by individuals or organizations. We can also look at the services’ shared features and unique aspects that they provide to consumers.

Published: March 2023

PPOK menjadi permasalahan kesehatan yang semakin mengkhawatirkan pada masyarakat di seluruh dunia. Usaha deteksi dini PPOK terus dikembangkan untuk mencegah perkembangan penyakit. Penggunaan parameter pemeriksaan laboratorium rutin dan sederhana dinilai berpotensi sebagai penanda perkembangan PPOK. Pengujian aktivitas enzim terhadap spesimen darah adalah parameter yang biasa diterapkan untuk diagnosis berbagai penyakit akut dan kronik. Pengujian tersebut belum dilakukan terhadap spesimen saliva dalam analisis rutin. Pengujian terhadap spesimen saliva masih sedikit dipelajari dan belum mendapat pengakuan sebagai parameter uji laboratorium. Sementara itu saliva diketahui memiliki kandungan enzim-enzim yang cukup tinggi dan telah dibuktikan keterkaitannya dengan perubahan kondisi pada penyakit-penyakit lainnya. Pengujian dilakukan untuk menganalisis profil enzim LDH, ALT, AST, GGT dan ALP sebagai penanda biologis untuk deteksi dini PPOK. Penelitian menggunakan desain case control dengan 20 responden PPOK dan 40 kontrol, terdiri dari 20 orang perokok aktif dan 20 orang bukan perokok. Saliva diperiksa aktivitas enzim menggunakan spektrofotometer di laboratorium kimia klinik jurusan TLM Poltekkes Kemenkes Jambi. Data dianalisis menggunakan Anova dan Benferonni. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa rata rata aktivitas ALT dan GGT signifikan lebih tinggi dibanding kontrol non PPOK perokok dan bukan perokok (p<0.05). Rata rata aktivitas LDH signifikan lebih rendah dibanding kontrol non PPOK perokok dan bukan perokok (p<0.05). Hasil analisis lebih lanjut membuktikan bahwa kelompok yang berbeda signifikan adalah aktivitas GGT dengan PPOK dan non PPOK bukan perokok. Rata-rata aktivitas AST dan ALP tidak berbeda signifikan antara ke 3 kelompok. Kesimpulan aktivitas LDH, ALT terutama GGT dalam saliva berpotensi sebagai penanda biologis untuk deteksi dini diagnosa PPOK.
Sam Shamoun: Apologet Presuposisionalis Kontemporer Dalam Media Youtube (Refleksi dari Perspektif Pneumatologi)
Authors: Richard Lessoe John
Published: March 2023

Dewasa ini muncul banyak apologet Kristen yang melakukan misi apologetikanya di media youtube. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kehadiran dan peran Roh Kudus dalam misi apologetika Sam Shamoun, salah seorang apologet kontemporer di media youtube yang berasal dari Gereja Asiria Timur. Penulis menggunakan metode pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik menonton tujuh video Sam Shamoun di channel youtubenya. Hasil dari menonton video itu kemudian penulis ubah ke dalam bentuk tulisan (transkrip) lalu menganalisinya. Dengan menggunakan ilmu pneumatologi sebagai pisau analisis dalam tulisan ini, penulis menemukan bahwa Sam Shamoun tidak memiliki integritas dalam berapologi di media youtube. Ia tidak sungguh-sungguh melibatkan kekuatan Roh Kudus dalam misi apologetikanya. Meskipun apa yang diajarkan atau dibelanya berangkat dari kebenaran Kristen, tetapi cara ia berdialog dengan lawan bicaranya di youtube tidak mengidentifikasikan dirinya sebagai seorang apologet sejati–yang dipimpin oleh Roh Kudus. Dari tulisan ini, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa Sam Shamoun adalah seorang apologet presuposisionalis kontemporer di mana ia menjadikan Kitab Suci dan kebenaran Kristen sebagai titik tolaknya dalam apologetikanya; tidak hanya membela imannya, tetapi juga menyerang pihak lain di luar agamanya.
Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Radium-223 Dichloride in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Without Previous Chemotherapy Treatment in Spain
Authors: Mercier Eva , Velasco Daniel , Cabezas Marta , Agut Cristina , Villalon Meritxell
Published: March 2023

Purpose: To perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of radium-223 plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) compared to BSC in the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and without previous docetaxel treatment in Spain. Design and methods: A Markov model was developed to compare radium-223 versus BSC and to accrue the health outcomes and costs of a simulated cohort of mCRPC patients. Quality-adjusted life year (QALY) and life year (LY) were selected as health outcomes to measure the effectiveness of treatment alternatives. Main health resource use and efficacy inputs were obtained from a randomized controlled trial comparing radium-223 versus placebo. Unit costs were retrieved from Spanish databases and published sources. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were carried out to assess uncertainty. Results: Total costs and QALYs were €65 067 and 1.12 QALYs for radium-223 and €55 437 and 0.77 QALYs for BSC. Therefore, incremental costs per QALY were €27 606. The sensitivity analysis showed that with a willingness-to-pay threshold of €30 000 per QALY, radium-223 would have a probability of 48% of being cost-effective compared to BSC. Conclusions: Although results must be assessed with caution, from the Spanish National Health System perspective and based on the results of the present analysis, radium-223 could be a suitable option of health resources’ utilization for end of life mCRPC without previous docetaxel treatment, subject to a moderate level of uncertainty.
Clinical and Economic Outcomes in Low-risk Pulmonary Embolism Patients Treated with Rivaroxaban versus Standard of Care
Authors: Peacock W. Frank , Coleman Craig , Wells Phil , Freeman Gregory , Wang Li , Baser Onur , Schein Jeff , Crivera Concetta
Published: March 2023

BackgroundL Rivaroxaban, a fixed-dose oral direct factor Xa inhibitor, does not require continuous monitoring and thus reduces the hospital stay and economic burden in low-risk pulmonary embolism (LRPE) patients. Study Question: What is the effectiveness of rivaroxaban versus the standard of care (SOC; low-molecular-weight heparin, unfractionated heparin, warfarin) among LRPE patients in the Veterans Health Administration? Study Design: Adult patients with continuous health plan enrollment for ≥12 months pre- and 3 months post-inpatient PE diagnosis (index date=discharge date) between October 1, 2011- June 30, 2015 and an anticoagulant claim during the index hospitalization were included. Measures and Outcomes Patients scoring 0 points on the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Stratification Index were considered low-risk and were stratified into SOC and rivaroxaban cohorts. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare hospital-acquired complications (HACs), PE-related outcomes (recurrent venous thromboembolism, major bleeding, and death), and healthcare utilization and costs between the rivaroxaban and SOC cohorts. Results: Among 6746 PE patients, 1918 were low-risk; of these, 73 were prescribed rivaroxaban, 1546 were prescribed SOC, and 299 were prescribed other anticoagulants during the index hospitalization. After 1:3 PSM, 64 rivaroxaban and 192 SOC patients were included. During the index hospitalization, rivaroxaban users (versus SOC) had similar inpatient length of stay (LOS; 7.0 vs 6.7 days, standardized difference [STD]=1.8) but fewer HACs (4.7% vs 10.4%; STD: 21.7). In the 90-day post-discharge period, PE-related outcome rates were similar between the cohorts (all p>0.05). However, rivaroxaban users had fewer outpatient (15.9 vs 20.4; p=0.0002) visits per patient as well as lower inpatient ($765 vs $2,655; p<0.0001), pharmacy ($711 vs $1,086; p=0.0033), and total costs ($6,270 vs $9,671; p=0.0027). Conclusions: LRPE patients prescribed rivaroxaban had similar index LOS and PE-related outcomes, but fewer HACs, and lower total costs than those prescribed SOC.
Kedilerde Üst Üriner Sistem Hastalıklarının Değerlendirilmesinde Doppler Ultrasonografinin Kullanılması
Authors: ÇAMLI Hikmet Elif , KUMANDAŞ Ali
Published: March 2023

Doppler ultrasonografi ile böbrek hastalığından şüphelenilen kedi ve köpeklerde olası böbrek hastalıklarının teşhisine yönelik çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, kedilerde böbrek hastalıklarının erken tanısında Doppler ultrasonografinin kullanılabilirliğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Doppler ultrasonografi erken tanı için böbrek hastalığı olan hayvanların ayırt edilebilirliğini veya farklılıklarını belirlemek için kullanıldı. Üriner sistem rahatsızlığı olduğu belirlenen 10 adet kedi ve herhangi bir rahatsızlığı olmayan sağlıklı olduğu tespit edilen 11 adet kedi olmak üzere toplam 21 adet farklı ırklarda kedi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm kedilerin her iki böbreği ultrasonografik olarak incelenerek Doppler yardımıyla Renal Pulsative index (RPI) ve Renal Resistive index (RRI) değerleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmaya dahil edilen hayvanlar sakin mizaçlı oldukları için sedasyona gerek kalmadan muayeneler yapıldı. Klinik muayenelerinin ardından alınan kan örnekleri hemogram ve biyokimyasal testlere tabi tutuldu. Daha sonra ultrasonografik olarak böbrekler değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada Doppler sonrası elde edilen veriler kayıt altına alınarak hastalık ilişkisi kurulmaya çalışılmıştır. Sağlıklı kedilerde, sağ böbrek ve sol böbrek arasında RRI açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Sol böbrek için, RI, kronik böbrek ve akut böbrek hasarı olan hayvanlarda önemli ölçüde daha yüksekti (P< 0.001). Kan biyokimya değerleri karşılaştırıldığında ise özellikle Kreatinin, BUN, ve BUN/CRE değerlerinin gruplar arasında anlamlı şekilde değişiklik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Her iki grupta da böbrekteki RI değeri üzerinde yaş veya cinsiyetin anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı gözlendi. Sonuç olarak böbrek hastalığı veya hasarı olan pet hayvanlarda RI değerleri değişkenlik gösterdiğinden taramalarda saptanan hem RI hem de PI değerlerinin erken dönemde değişikliklerin klinik olarak belirlenmesi ve akut böbrek yetmezliklerinde erken teşhis için faydalı olabileceği düşünülmüştür.

Canonical Tradition Valuing the Right to Reputation
Authors: Mazza Michael Joseph
Published: March 2023

The right to a good name is a fundamental, natural human right that is mentioned specifically in canon 220 of the 1983 Code. In the present environment, however, this right has been frequently forgotten. Catholic clergy, in particular, have seen their right to reputation overlooked by forces both within and outside the Church. This article shows that respect for the good of bona fama is fundamental to any truly human community. Noting the impressive canonical tradition strongly in support of the juridical good of bona fama, this article demonstrates how the good of bona fama became part of the lived testimony of the early Church and developed over time. The canonical tradition was incorporated into the Church's first attempt at codification in 1917; the reform of that Code after Vatican II clearly reflected the developments in 20th century magisterial teaching on the good of reputation.

A Pragmatic Analysis of Selected Newspapers' Coverage of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Nigeria
Authors: ADEOTI Oluwatomi
Published: March 2023

Language is a pivotal instrument in the hand of journalists; they manipulate language at their disposal for accomplishing numerous goals. Thus, this study explores a pragmatic investigation of how meanings are interpreted in the selected newspapers’ coverage of the Coronavirus Pandemic in Nigeria. Mey’s (2001) Pragmatic Acts Theory was used to analyze ten (10) data selected purposively from The Punch and The Vanguard Newspapers between February 2020 and June 2020. The study found out that the pragmatic relevance of the COVID-19 newspapers’ coverage is embedded in its media functions as it serves as an indicator to interpret the messages inherent in the coronavirus newspapers’ coverage and a pract of warning to the citizens of Nigeria to stay safe. The study also revealed that the practs used depend on context, situation and existing shared-knowledge of both the speaker and the reader. It was observed that journalists use the news headlines to perform several acts of warning, sensitising, informing, exposing, etc. to achieve different goals and pass numerous meanings to their listeners/readers during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria. Results indicated that the Nigerian media performed well in terms of covering the pandemic, which in turn created awareness. However, the coverage was not in-depth as most of the reported stories were short and were predominantly straight news. This paper concludes that journalists use contextual language to enhance social relations among the readers.
ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ КАЛЬЦІЮ В МОЛОЦІ МЕТОДОМ ТИТРИМЕТРІЇ
Authors: МОРОЗ І. А.
Published: March 2023

Мета. Кількісне визначення кальцію у різних зразках молока та встановлення впливу теплової обробки на його вміст .
Методика. У роботі використано методи планування експерименту, аналізу та синтезу вихідної інформації, кислотний метод визначення жирності молока, метод комплексонометричного титрування, методи статистичної обробки експериментальних даних.
Результати. Молоко є цінним харчовим продуктом і може повністю забезпечити потребу людського організму в кальції. З метою подовження терміну зберігання та поліпшення мікробіологічної чистоти молоко найчастіше піддають тепловій обробці. Теплова обробка спричиняє суттєві зміни у фізико-хімічних властивостях молока, зокрема призводить до зниження концентрації йонів кальцію у ньому. З огляду на це, є нагальна потреба у контролі за вмістом кальцію у молоці. Кількісне визначення кальцію в молоці та молочних продуктах найчастіше здійснюють титриметричними методами, які вирізняються точністю та експресністю визначення.
У роботі наведено результати експериментальних досліджень вмісту йонів кальцію у молоці до та після теплової обробки методом комплексонометричного титрування. Проведені дослідження показали, що вміст йонів кальцію у молоці відповідає вимогам діючих стандартів України і коливається від 918,9 мг/л. до 1495,5 мг/л. Встановлено, що вміст кальцію у молоці суттєво залежить від його жирності. Зі збільшенням вмісту жиру у свіжому молоці з 1,0% до 3,5% вміст кальцію зростає відповідно від 977,8 мг/л до 1495,5 мг/л. У зразках молока після теплової обробки також спостерігають збільшення вмісту кальцію з жирністю з 918,9 мг/л до 1284,8 мг/л відповідно. Теплова обробка призводить до зменшення вмісту кальцію в розчинній фазі молока на 6,4% –16,4% порівняно зі свіжим молоком. Найменше йонів кальцію вилучилось під час теплової обробки зразків молока з найнижчою жирністю.
Практична значимість. Кальцій є надзвичайно важливим макроелементом молока, який регулює цілу низку фізіологічних процесів в організмі людини; життєвонеобхідний для формування кісткової тканини та зубів, низки інших процесів. Термічне оброблення призводить до порушення сольової рівноваги між розчинною та колоїдною фазами у молоці. Розчинні форми кальцію у вигляді гідрогенортофосфатів незворотньо перетворюються у колоїдний кальцій ортофосфат, що призводить до суттєвої декальцифікації молока. Тому важливо контролювати вміст кальцію, як у свіжому молоці, так і у пастеризованому. Пропонований метод визначення кальцію є швидким, дешевим, а також може бути використаний для контролю вмісту кальцію в інших молочних продуктах, а також питній воді.

Published: March 2023

Interaction of concrete with the persistent prevailing environmental condition will alter its material properties and cause deterioration. There are various causes of distress in the concrete structure, such as improper construction practices, post-construction expansion due to Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR), corrosion of reinforcement, non-homogeneity of concrete, development of cracks due to shrinkage and thermal stresses, aging, etc., Such phenomena are very common in various elements of the dam.
The aging of concrete structures and their interactions with persistent prevailing environmental conditions will alter its material properties and cause deterioration. In spite of maintaining the best quality control, concrete may not behave as a homogeneous medium. Conducting any test in a modest way is the key factor for a true assessment of the status of the substratum. Diagnosis of the residual strength of concrete in in-situ conditions using non-destructive tests provides useful information for adopting suitable preventive measures. Deteriorations in the concrete can be broadly imaged using the ultrasonic pulse velocity technique. However, the results of ultrasonic pulse velocity depend on various factors. Such phenomena are very common in various elements of the dam.
Since prominent cracks were observed on the pier, hence the structural assessment of piers and drainage galleries of Chandil dam was required to check the quality of concrete. In this regard, Non-Destructive Tests (NDT) were conducted on piers and galleries of Chandil dam, Jharkhand, by using the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) method to assess the in-situ quality of concrete.
