Published: December 2020

Abstract
The concept hydroponic cultivation is performed in greenhouses or in various plat factories. This sort of cultivation is generally evaluated with pH and electrical conductivity. It may not provide complete information regarding any imbalance that is encountered in cultivation process. This causes poor yield or wastage of resources Thus, to overcome these limitation IoT measurement system has to be implanted in this cultivation process, where sensors and actuators may measure the corresponding reading when need and given to man power. Therefore, imbalance in attaining nutrients is eliminated by constant monitoring of resources towards plant cultivation. This facilitates farmers to handle the nutrients issues that are encountered in cultivation. The performance measurement of the system developed was computed with feasibility of IoT system for automatic measurements. The outcomes of the systems are computed and validated for further processing. Some specific measures are considered where there is no specific relationship among standardized analysis. The sensitive responses have to be examined and analyzed.

Abstract
People’s degrading lifestyle reflects their health graphs and occurrence of different disease in their bodies. With different food habits and exercise patterns the endurance capacity of the body changes. Foot ulcer is a disease quite common today among Indians around. The foot ulcer creates a threat to the movement for human beings. It is a deep infected sore or damage in the foot sole commonly caused by nerve/skin damage. Several infections in the foot may also result in leg amputations. Foot ulcer is very common among diabetic patients. India is the country with the highest number of diabetics worldwide. Over 3 million people are infected with diabetes which is a big number to worry about. The CPR (Crude Prevalence Rate) for cities is around 9% of the population whereas in village areas the occurrence is around 3 percent [1]. Though the foot ulcer prevalence of diabetic patients in India is 3% which looks small but it is a big number. Our proposal is an embedded system innovation to develop a foot ulcer treatment system. It deals with the combined approach to embedded electronics and biomedical engineering to overcome the situation. We create a footrest equipped with Peltier, vibrator, and UV rays to overcome the issue. It is the first of its kind foot ulcer treatment equipment that can solve the issue. We also used the android technology to provide the vocal user interface to help the user. Clear instructions are displayed and spoken upon usage to the patients. The result obtained on the patients are highly acceptable and recommended for both urban and rural populations. The Atmega 328 P PU microcontroller is interfaced with the HC-05 Bluetooth and Vibrators through Relays to perform the task. The microcontroller acts as the overall think-tank to control and coordinate the overall system.

Abstract
Nowadays extreme rainfall events are more frequent across our country. Controlled releases from reservoirs would be necessitated to ensure the safety of dams and people downstream during extreme inflow. Mitigation measures are to be planned and preparedness actions to be taken effectively to reduce the impact of such catastrophe at downstream flood plains of reservoirs. Advance information on the extent of the area likely to be in undated consequent to releases from reservoirs is vital in developing an effective action plan for the timely evacuation of people. In the present study, it has been attempted to develop an unsteady flow model of the Pamba River in Kerala& the flood plain downstream for determining the area likely to be inundated corresponding to a largely controlled release in the tune of 900m3/s. The unsteady flow model is developed in HEC-RAS to study the flow behavior of flood wave caused by the flow hydrograph with peak 900m3/s as it propagates to the downstream plains. From the studies, it is found that the transformation of flow profile of flood wave can be better estimated using the HEC-RAS 2D flow model and the results can be used as important information in the decision-making process for Disaster Management Authorities.

Abstract
With the growing global warming and rise in pollution levels across the world in addition to several other factors such as deforestation, urbanization and ozone layer depletion, there has been a continuous increase in global rise in annual average temperature. Eco-cooler is a cheap and eco-friendly device made from non-biodegradable waste which can be used to reduce the indoor temperature of the building thus giving a comfortable living experience. Although a conventional design with symmetrical hole design is adopted in some under-developed countries as a commercial way, no study is being conducted for the improvement in performance of the Eco-cooler. Hence the present study has the main objective of evaluating different factors of dependency of an Eco-cooler, establishing them as a cheap and effective way of reducing indoor temperature and increasing its efficiency.
A Review on Correlations for Consolidation Characteristics of Various Soils
Authors: Jayalekshmi S , Elamathi V 
Published: December 2020

AbstractSettlement is the major problem that arises after the construction of a structure on a soil mass. Consolidation characteristics of soil such as coefficient of consolidation cv, compression index cc, recompression index cr, preconsolidation pressureσ′pplay a major role in the settlement behavior of fine grained soil mass. cv represents the rate of consolidation of soil mass. cc and cr are essential in calculating settlement of normally and over consolidated clays respectively.σ′pis determined to find whether the clay is under, normally or over consolidated. These consolidation properties are obtained from graphical constructions after conducting several one dimensional consolidation-oedometer tests. Since this is time consuming, many correlations have been derived between consolidation properties and index properties of soil. Different researchers have used various soil parameters such as liquid limit (wL), plastic limit (wp), natural moisture content (wn), initial insitu void ratio (eo), dry unit weight (γd), plasticity index (Ip), void ratio at liquid limit (eL) etc., as correlative parameters for deriving the correlations. Hence, it is desirable to predict the value of cv, cc, cr andσ′pfrom the known correlations rather than conducting several tests, to ease the procedures.

A Comprehensive Review on the Replacement of Virgin Material using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Material in Flexible Pavements
Authors: Gireesh kumar Pala 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
With increased demand and limited aggregate and binder supply brings the use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) as a valuable component in Hot Mix Asphalt(HMA) since 1970’s in US. Later on, the use of RAP has evolved into a regular practice in many countries around the world and use of these materials in the past has proven to be economically and environmentally sound. Mixing of RAP in virgin materials has been greatly favored over virgin materials because of increase in cost of asphalt, scarcity of quality aggregates and asphalt. The use of RAP in pavement design is Recycling the left over Asphalt through crushing and is recycled back into asphalt which performs equal or better than the virgin mixtures. Now-a-days being more environmentally friendly is important and hence, recycling on site can offer real benefits not only through better planning and regulations, but also saving in the waste disposal charges, energy saving which is modified into the strengthen material. The use of RAP is gaining momentum in India at present and there were very limited studies carried out on the use of RAP in Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) as well. Therefore an ample scope exists inorder to investigate the complete usage of RAP content.

Abstract
To solve ecological problems in alumina production, ecological measures were implemented to reduce the consumption of mineral natural resources and by involving secondary technogenicmaterials in the production. In the processing ofnepheline ores, a number of technologies were tested and implemented into production for the introduction of various additives of technogenic raw materials into the raw alumina charge: spent chamotte refractory bricks, ferrotitanium production slag, and combined heat and power plant ash. The introduction of technology for processing oftechnogenic raw materials provided the use of spent chamotte bricks of more than 70,000 tons, while saving natural raw materials: nepheline ore of about 42,000 tons. In addition to saving mineral resources, work was carried out to reduce waste water discharges into open water basin and reduce the water intake of treated water for production needs. For this purpose, the technological equipment for water supply of the combined heat and power plant was replaced. As a result of the introduction of new cooling towers, the waste water discharges into an open water basin was eliminated and the intake of treated water from the river was reduced by 40.07 millionm3per year.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The species composition and biological indices of Ladoga Lake fish near trout farms were studied. Water bodies with commercial rainbow trout production were found to be polluted mainly by nutrients and fish metabolic products that activate eutrophication processes. The functioning of a trout farm was shown to affect the fish population structure of the lake. Fish with spring spawning are preferred. Roach, perch and ruff now predominate in the fish farm area. Fish aggregates in the lake differ considerably in biomass from those in open lake zones. Fish density indices near the fish pond lines were observed to increase almost twofold. Local fish species aggregate near the fish ponds because they eat trout food. The linear and weight growth rates of roach, perch and ruff near the fish ponds were shown to be much higher than those in the remote zones of the lake, because the above fish also eat the leftovers of trout food washed out of the fish ponds. Commercial trout production requires integrated monitoring for assessment of the current condition of the water bodies affected by fish farming.
Dynamics of Agrarian Lands of the Republic of Tyva (Russia) in 1890–2019
Authors: Sambuu A. , Dabiev D. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of changes of croplands dynamics of the Republic of Tyva during traditional, Soviet, crisis and post-crisis periods. It is shown that despite the fact that the leading branch of agriculture of the Tyva People’s Republic (TPR) was animal husbandry, crop production developed no less dynamically, and crop area in 1944 increased by 4.3 times over 17 years. During the period of the Tuva Autonomous region (TAR), crop area increased significantly, so in comparison with 1945, by 1960, the area of grain crops increased more than three times, amounting to 279.8 thousand hectares, including wheat – 193.6 thousand ha, barley – 21.7 thousand ha, oats – 34.7 thousand has, millet – 27.1 thousand ha. The crop area of the feeding grounds has increased by an order of magnitude. The acreage of vegetable and melon crops, including potatoes, has significantly increased. But the unjustified plowing of virgin and fallow lands in the 50s and 60s of the twentieth century led to soil erosion and destruction, and the loss of more than a million hectares of agricultural land. During the period of the Tuva ASSR, there is a further increase in crop area. The largest area of grain crops was observed in 1980, when there were 370 thousand hectares in the Republic. At the same time, the Central zone accounts for about 2/3 of the crop area of grain crops, the Western zone – 20%, the Southern zone – 5%, and the Eastern zone – only 1%. With the beginning of market reforms, there is a decrease in the crop area of grain crops. Lack of state support, violation of economic relations, price disparity, lack of tax incentives and preferential loans, and other market and non-market reasons led to the ruin of large farms in the Agro-Industrial Complex (AIC), which accounted for more than 99% of agricultural products. The crop area of grain crops in 2000 compared to 1980 decreased by 8.4 times, wheat by 6.7 times, and fodder crops by 11 times. At present, there is again a slight increase in croplands.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The most common and important method of agricultural products processing is drying. The quality of finished product, energy intensity and material intensity of the entire processing depend on the drying process. Drying the seeds of different crops is influenced by many factors: the structure, size, properties and condition. We studied the process of drying oil-bearing small-seeded crops taking rapeseeds as samples. Rapeseed is covered with a hard shell that prevents the release of moisture; in this case the seeds should be dried at low temperatures. High temperature causes rapeseeds to have low quality indicators. Analysis of the existing equipment has shown that nowadays there are no special systems for drying small-seeded crops, and the drying process is carried out on grain dryers which are characterized by large seeds losses, considerable energy costs and high temperatures. The main advantages of the developed infrared dryer of conveyor cascade type are the lack of hot zones, the uniform heating and the minimum percentage of seeds losses because of their blowing out and removal. In addition, the heat carriers used in the dryer of conveyor cascade type help to perform the drying process at the required wavelength, that can affect only the moisture in the seeds.
