Solid Waste in urban areas, popularly known as Municipal Solid Waste (SWM) refers to materials discarded in urban areas which municipalities are responsible for collection, transportation and final disposal. The Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) Govt. of India defines Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) as commercial and residential waste generated in municipal or notified areas in either solid or semisolid form excluding industrial hazardous waste but including treated biomedical waste (MoEF, 2000). The paper was based on both primary and secondary sources of data. For collection of primary data, the study used stratified sampling technique. Firstly, Nagaon Municipality Board (NMB) was the universe of the study which included 26 wards. Secondly, NMB was divided into different zones in order to cover different groups of population. Finally, the households were selected by using random sampling technique. In order to fulfill the objectives of study, the contingent valuation method was used. Finally, a logit regression model was applied in order to determine the household’s willingness to pay for an improved solid waste management among the surveyed households.

The effect of different factors on the compressive strength of fly ash based rubberized geopolymer concrete has been established using Taguchi method. The factors include alkaline solution/fly ash ratio; ratio of Na2SiO3/NaOH, molarity concentration of NaOH, temperature of curing, time period for curing, water content, rest period and amount of superplasticizer as an additional material are considered. Total twenty-seven experiments have been conducted in accordance with Taguchi orthogonal array L27. Different mixtures of the fly ash based rubberized geopolymer concrete have been examined for compressive strength at seven days. ANOVA (Variance Analysis) method was used to evaluate the influence of each factor and to identify the test mixture with the highest compressive resistance. The results of experiments show that the alkaline-to-fly ash mixture is 0.35, Na2SiO3/NaOH 2.5, 14 M NaOH, 90°C temperature for curing, 48-hour curing time, 20% water content, 1 day resting period, and 2 percent addition of superplasticizer acquires the greatest compression strength of 59.08 MPa. The curing temperature was also identified as the main factor influencing a rubberized fly ash-based geopolymer concrete's compression strength.

Crowd simulation is an active research domain and is crucial for simulating crowd behaviour in certain condition such as normal or panic situation. The simulation is to show the interaction between the individual in a crowd. Nowadays, there are many kinds of scenarios as well as simulation softwares that can be adapted to simulate a crowd simulation such as during emergency situation e.g. building evacuation. Crowd simulation in three-dimensional platform is fairly important in order to have a more realistic looks and movement of the crowd in one particular environment. The evacuation simulation is useful for the crowd in one confinement to seek for a safe exit path in shortest time possible and thus increase the occupant’s safety. The evacuation time is said to be in safe condition if all the evacuees successfully can get through the exit in minimal time. To aid in minimal exit time, the concept of faster-is-slower (bottleneck) must be solved as it can lead to more waiting time or delay during evacuation process. In this paper, it will discuss about the crowd simulation behavior, crowd simulation based on agent-based model, existing crowd simulation tools and the result of simulating the three-dimensional (3D) crowd evacuation time based on a number of exits variation in panic situation. The tools used to carry out the experiment is Anylogic software whereby the results show that it adheres to shorter evacuation time when the number of exit increases. The 3D layout design was following the original layout the faculty’s lower ground floor where the classrooms are mostly resided. The simulation is useful in order to estimate of evacuation time with different total number of exits to alleviate the faster-is-slower effect in case of any emergency situation happens at the faculty building.

Monitoring cattle behaviour has been a perpetual challenge in animal husbandry and animal breeding. Various methods have been used in the past to monitor the behaviour of cattle and their grazing patterns. We proposed a framework for real time cattle monitoring using multimedia networks. The study observes the grazing patterns of cattle and their behaviours in the grazing field. In order to accomplish the above observation, global positioning system monitoring collar for cattle is utilized; this technology monitors the activities of individual cattle during grazing through a networked system. The materials used in carrying out the work include cattle, waterproof global positioning system tracking collars (TR20) for cattle, and supporting application software by Sigfox’s global Internet of Things network. The paddock size was 121 by 174 m. Forage was predominantly agricultural plants. Cattle weighing up to 580 kg were used. The collared cattle were used to initiate all data collections. Latitude and longitude information of location was cumulatively stored in memory that is on-boarded and big enough for the fixing of position. Each fix record is comprised of corresponding estimation of height, date and time of global positioning system, precision value dilution, status of fix, temperature, including horizontal and vertical activity sensor counts in intervals that are fixed. Units of collar were well compacted, robust, and of about 1 kg in weight. Location fixes for over a day period were showed through testing to be accurate, at roughly 95% for eight minutes of time after correction of the difference. There was no bias of direction on the part of errors that have consistency with other studies’ finding.

Among neurological patients, stroke is a significant concern that can lead to permanent disability or may cause death. Determining the contributing factors to stroke would better enable proactive forms of healthcare measures to be taken for reducing mortality and other effects of this disease. Numerous works have been carried out for determining the various factors which contribute to stroke. The goal of this work is to identify the factors which may cause stroke by proposing a Decision Support System. In this research work, various medical and psychological parameters are analyzed with the aim of determining association between these parameters and stroke. The methodology includes appropriate feature selection, attribute type conversion, univariate and multivariate analysis. Data mining techniques such as Chi square test and Frequency Distribution analysis are used for hypothesis testing and drawing inferences. The analysis shows that psychological factors such as Marital Status, Employment Status, and Age Group are the major contributors, which may lead to stroke in comparison to Medical factors. The findings can be used as a proactive measure for individuals who have high possibility of developing stroke. This work can also be used as a foundation to build a recommendation system for prevention of stroke.

Lung cancer screening saves human lives by detecting cancer earlier, when it may be treated more successfully. The most familiar methods for the diagnosis of lung cancer includes bronchoscope guided BronchoAlveolar Lavage (BAL) samples and the CT scan. In this paper, we propose a technique to automatically analyze the microscopic images of BAL samples and CT scan images in the same platform. This method will help in reducing the manual intervention and provides many useful parameters such as location, size and number of clusters present in the images. We have processed the images using the specialized software in LabVIEW, NI vision Assistance. The detection is done with the microscopic images of BAL and the stages are classified with the analysis of CT scan images. For this, separate algorithms have been developed using Vision Assistant and the common user interface has been designed using LabVIEW.

This research paper is about a one-for-all device that has a central synchronization with a Wireless Sensor Network connected to other part of the house. This network can do an all-round power saving and environment awareness tasks. The device takes power consumption readings from the mains, and displays the Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and footprint of the users in a particular time frame along with the current electricity bill. The WSN mainly focuses on Kitchen, Bathrooms and AC rooms. A certain toxic amount of Carbon Monoxide gas is produced from burning of stoves in Kitchen. During cooking, a gas sensor (MQ7) is placed in the kitchen measures the amount of different gases, especially CO. Chimney is turned on only when CO reading crosses a certain threshold. In this way, power consumed by chimney can be reduced markedly. Similarly in the water tanks above the house, a water temperature sensor is placed. This sensor allows the intensity of the water heater to be automatically regulated depending on the temperature of water in the tank. If water is already at the user-required temperature, the water heater is adaptively changed to a lower temperature or switched off, so as to consume less power. The third sensor is placed in an AC room. Even the high star-rated ACs are a major concern in power consumption, electricity bill and GHG emissions. Hence the temperature sensor is placed which measures the room temperature and outdoor temperature. If it is cold enough, the AC switches-off, thereby saving unnecessary power consumption.

The catastrophic tsunamis generated during Tohoku, Japan (2011), Indonesia (2004) and Alaska (1964) earthquakes caused severe damage to life and coastal structures and warned the coastal community on prepared and constructing safe structures against such events. Since most of the tsunamis are triggered by undersea earthquakes , it is necessary to establish analytical methods for obtaining the variation of response parameters when tsunami waves hit exterior and interior columns when the similar structure rests on different soils. In this paper, a G+9 storey coastal structure is chosen for the analysis and the response parameters like bending moments, shear forces, time periods, displacements and base shears are worked out considering with and without the effect of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). From the results it is observed that the multi storied structure is more vulnerable when it rests on loose soil compared to when it rests on stiff soil or hard rock and when it is fixed at the base.

The private saving is one of the fundamentals for economic development and growth of the country. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of interest rates on private saving in Myanmar over the period from fiscal year 2013-14 Q1 to 2018 Q2. This study investigates the private saving of Myanmar’s banking sector which includes twenty seven private commercial banks, four State-owned banks and thirteen foreign bank branches. The quarterly data are obtained from secondary data sources collected from quarterly Financial Statistics Bulletin and annual reports of Central Bank of Myanmar, Statistical Year Books and Selected Monthly Economic Indicators published by CSO, Myanmar, as well as websites from commercial banks to investigate the effect of domestic interest rates on private saving. Inferential analysis including multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis as well as descriptive analysis are applied to examine the effect of domestic interest rates on private saving with the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software (version 25). The findings of the study reveal that all independent variables except from Treasury bill rate have significant impact on the savings while inflation and fixed deposit rate have adversely impact on savings. Among all independent variables, saving deposit rate is the most influent variable on attracting private saving. Therefore, the study concludes that policies for ensuring to adopt flexible interest rates structures and for maintaining reasonable inflation rate depending upon the macroeconomic conditions of the economy would be critical to mobilize private saving in Myanmar.

RC structures on sloping ground take columns of different height within one storey. Brittle shear failure is generally observed in short columns of RC frame as it takes the maximum shear during severe dynamic excitation by earthquake forces. Hence due to this immense problem, it is important to investigate practical and effective methods to rehabilitate these columns and the building as such. The objective of this research program is to assess the performance enhancement of short columns when strengthened with shear walls at specific locations of RC frame and with bracings exclusively. The strength attained with these two methods has been compared with one another assessment where most of the columns of RC frame are moved outside to the periphery, transforming the traditional grid of columns, which might demand the flat slab on each floor. It is possible that all the three might provide Solution for improvement in strength and stiffness of short columns of an RC frame on a sloping ground, but then these methods are compared and the one has been suggested which is cost effective. For this purpose 6 RC buildings are taken into consideration to carry out this research program, 3 on flat ground and 3 on sloping ground, one regular and one setback for each of the cases of ground geometry considered. The slope of the ground is taken as 16 degrees. Using Staad Pro v8i, the Response Spectrum Method for linear and Time History Analysis for non Linear dynamic analysis of these buildings can be done, to investigate various dynamic response characteristics and the respective strengthening technique can be applied and suggested as such.

Four bar link mechanism now days are beneficial for various vehicles for power transmission and Mechanical stability with respect to the motion on various Terrains. The stability regarding the motion transitional is easier rather than motion related to rotational. Author trying to resolve the complexity with respect to Matlab codes helpful in the automation of various four bar link mechanism vehicles. The author indicated the source code for four bar link mechanism, as well as simulating the module based on the real time system, lines of code determines the new configurations of the mechanism for an incrementally varying position of the crank. This is based on the standard cosine formulas and other triangle properties used for analyzing four-bar linkages. . Obviously, torque and power are not the amount that has been in the kinematics and whatever kinematic amount we use to characterize the presentation of the instrument, this amount will just inexact the static power qualities of the component.

Sustainable manufacturing is important criterion nowadays in developing nations like India. Its implementation is made almost compulsory for all types of industries for the sake of the environment. It could be better implemented if its supporting factors are used at priority instead of wasting time with other less important factors that are not worthy in the process of implementation. So, here in this paper already identified drivers of sustainable manufacturing through a vast literature review of past articles are ranked to give them priority numbers, so that these could be used at first in comparison to the lower ones in the hierarchy table for implementation of sustainable manufacturing. As the ranking of factors is a decision-making process, here we used one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Model Techniques, named as a fuzzy linguistics approach of decision making for ranking or prioritization of factor, for ranking of drivers of sustainable manufacturing. Total 13 identified drivers have first categorized in four different criteria with four different decision variables using 5 point linguistic ratings and then has been ranked, from one to thirteen as one is for most supportive driver and thirteenth as least supportive driver of sustainable manufacturing. These are suggested to various industries for implementing sustainable manufacturing an easier task for them. It might be very helpful for them.

Oil palm plant by-product such empty fruit bunches (EFB) are not effectively utilized and in many instances had caused severe pollution problems. It has a potential to replace the wood in the production of particleboard in furniture industry. This research aim is to investigate the effects of the chemical treatment on the mechanical properties of the oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) with urea formaldehyde (UF) resin particleboard through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), flexural test – three point bending test and the water absorption test. A single layered oil palm EFB/UF particleboard with the fibres treated with NaOH of 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% concentrations were made. Testing procedure was done in accordance with the American Standard Testing Materials - ASTM 1037 standard for testing wood based fibre and particle panel materials. The SEM images of 1.0% NaOH treated fibre shows a rougher surface indicating that more silica bodies are detached from the EFB surface which improves the mechanical interlocking ability of the fiber. Flexural properties the treated EFB/UF particleboard shows an improved quality compared to the untreated board. There is significant increase of 82% and 81% in the flexural strength and flexural modulus respectively of the 1.0% NaOH treated board from 0.5% NaOH treatment. As for the water absorption rate, the treated particle board shows a decrease in water absorption rate after the treatment.

Fuzzy Rule Based Systems are playing vital role in the implementation of human decision making. The development of interpretable Fuzzy Rule Based Systems with improved accuracy is a crucial research aspect in fuzzy based systems. Mamdani type fuzzy rule based systems are used to implement the proposed model. In this manuscript a FRBS is implemented with Guaje Open-Access Java based software. The interpretability and accuracy assessments are recorded on the different experiments with various rule generation methods, like Fuzzy decision tree and Wang Mendel method. The results are found satisfactory and a trade-off is handled between interpretability and accuracy. The major concern of the experimentation is number and type of fuzzy partitions. K-means and Hierarchical Fuzzy Partitions are used in the experiments with three and five number of fuzzy partitions.
