Assessment of Effectiveness of Solid Waste Management in the Municipality of Santo Tomas, Pampanga

This study focuses on the effectiveness of the implementation of the plan for the management of solid waste. The study will be focused on the municipality of Santo Tomas, Pampanga. Residents of seven barangays have almost the same level of knowledge about implementing RA 9003. Looking into the strategies and solutions, the sampling methods approach was used as a framework. The data was gathered using sampling methods, and researchers developed questions for survey questionnaires. The study administered the assessment to the total of ninety-one (91) respondents as stakeholders and ten percent (10%) of the total population with the total of four thousand two hundred eighty-five (4,285). This research found that stakeholders who participated in the survey had a high level of solid waste management. The result data demonstrate that from the group of residents, barangay Santo Rosario obtained the overall highest mean for the three parts of the assessment. The municipality Local Government Unit has given a program which each barangay plastic sachets residuals will be donating their collected waste in Holcim Philippines a cement manufacturer and re-produces it. Based on the results a guideline in identifying safe, effective and sustainable Waste Management Practices in Santo Tomas, Pampanga was developed. This guideline will not only help the barangays to implement the practices implementing RA 9003, also it will help the community to be aware of their roles and the strategies in Solid Waste Management.

Finite Element Approach for Beam-Column Joint Analysis In Reinforced Concrete Structure

There are Different Methods have been used In Order to assess the behavior of Beams Columns with respect to Shear, Torsion, Buckling, etc. of the Reinforced Concrete Structure. Generally, the behaviors of these structure components are analyzed experimentally. With the Advanced progress in numerical tools like Finite Element Method, it becomes easy to model and analyze the complex and detailed behavior of structural members like Beam, Column and Joints. In this present paper Models of Beam-Column Joints subjected to axial and uniformly distributed loading are used. The Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis is used to analyze Beam-Column Joint thoroughly with the FEM software ANSYS.

Nitrate Contamination in the Groundwater in and around Jangaon District, Telangana, India.

Groundwater forms the major source of drinking water in the rural areas of most of the developing nations of the world. Presence of high concentration of nitrate in groundwater is a major problem in many countries as it causes health related problems. The present study is carried out to understand the distribution of nitrate concentration in groundwater in parts of Jangaon District, Telangana, India. Though groundwater is the major drinking water source, deterioration in its quality is going unchecked. In rural areas, the nitrate contamination is uncontrolled and much attention has not been drawn towards this anthropogenic pollution. In the study area 30 groundwater samples have been collected and analyzed for the major ions such as Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, HCO3-, CO3-, SO4-, NO3-and F-. The study revealed that 39% of the samples were found to be unsuitable for drinking purposes due to excess nitrate (>45 mg/l) content in the groundwater. High Nitrate concentration may cause blue baby syndrome or methemoglobinemia.

A study to examine the efficacy of nurse-driven client-centered behavioral therapy intervention on sexuality among the middle adulthood

Background: Middle adulthood is the time of life between ages 40 and 65. During this time, people's sexuality changes. The physical transformations body undergoes as age have a major influence on your sexuality. Declining hormone levels and changes in neurological and circulatory functioning may lead to sexual problems. Therefore, the goal of the current study is to assess the efficacy of nurse-driven client-centered behavioral therapy intervention on sexuality in middle adulthood. Methods: The research approach adopted for the study was a true experimental design. The selection of subject was done by the Purposive Sampling technique method and the sample consists of 60 middle adults residing in Achankuttapatty, Salem, Tamil Nadu. The data was collected by administering Multidimensional Sexuality Questionnaire (MSCQ) questionnaires The validity and reliability of the tool were obtained. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of Frequency, Percentage distribution and chi-square test, and independent ‘t-test. Results: the majority of the sample group were 40-50 old, were male, had primary education, work profile of temporary employment, and earn below 10000 per month. there was a statistical significance was noted in the independent t-test between pre and post-test mean scores. it was found that the efficacy of nurse-driven client-centered behavioral therapy intervention on sexuality among middle adulthood was statistically significant.

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for a PV System Using a P&O Algorithm for Rapid and Accurate Response to Ambient Conditions

In order to maximize the efficiency of PV systems, this research proposes a new method of MPPT known as enhanced adaptive perturb and observe (EA-P&O). The objective is to address issues with conventional P&O, such as its propensity for steady-state oscillation, it's unreliable tracking, and its inability to spot the global peak when it is obscured in some way. To address the first two problems, we introduce a unique oscillation detection mechanism and a dynamic boundary condition. A sophisticated forecasting system is currently being created to monitor the worldwide peak on a continuous basis. The fact that open-circuit voltage can be determined without the inclusion of external sensors is still another perk. To ensure the concept is feasible, we run simulations in Matlab under rigorous dynamic irradiance and partial shading circumstances. Adding more experimental proof with the help of a buck-boost converter and a dSpace DS1104 DSP processor. The algorithm is compared to the artificial bee colony, modified incremental conduction, cuckoo search, and hybrid ant colony Optimization-P&O, all of which are well-known MPPT approaches. The results show that the suggested method succeeds where others fail when trying to follow the global peak in varying degrees of partial shade. Additionally, the tracking speed has been multiplied by three, while maintaining 99% accuracy.

A proposed pico-hydropower technology applying the modified principle of heron’s siphon for renewable electrical energy generation and storage for street lamps in Camias, Porac, Pampanga

Energy affects the economy, environment, and human progress. Due to modernity, energy powers most basic human needs and activities, including illumination, ventilation, movement, and security. Rapid urbanization and energy poverty have led to the need for more, better, and greener resources. This study used pico-hydropower to solve Barangay Camias, Porac, Pampanga's streetlamp system's electrical problem. Data was collected and analyzed to support the study and the power outage in Barangay Camias, Porac, Pampanga. Pico-hydropower concept and design follow. Geometric dimensioning was explained. After designing, prototype construction began. The study's siphon system used a five-gallon water jug and 20mm uPVC pipes. Hydraulic turbines were made using discarded cooling fan alternators. The generator employed a 12-volt DC motor, 3V 1000mAh rechargeable battery, and a circuit breaker. Researchers employed 1.5-V LED lights. The prototype testing yielded 2.6 V. 90mA generates 0.234W. The theoretical power (0.3190W), minimum efficient power (0.1914W), and maximum efficient power (0.2552W) were compared to the generated power. Reverse engineering calculated a 30W LED streetlight design similitude. The pico-hydropower plant prototype generated a 0.234W or 2.6V which is within the average efficient power, proving the design's efficiency and viability.
