Alternative usage of stone dust and ceramic waste and minimization of cost of construction materials

Observing the results, strength aspects of ceramic waste aggregate concrete is well within the permissible limits and ideal replacement level of ceramic waste is 20% and 40%.Water absorption of ceramic waste aggregate was 0.18% higher than that of natural aggregate (0.10%), due to the opening of pore structure during crushing and chiselling. Even after crushing and chiselling, few cracks were observed on surface of ceramic waste. For these reasons water absorption was little more than that of the natural aggregate. The 3 and 28 days compressive strength was found to range from 24.57-43.33N/mm2 for different mixes respectively. The above strength properties were found to compare closely with normal concrete. The proportion of 17% natural sand to 24% quarry dust produced higher values of compressive strength. For the same proportion of 17% natural sand and 24% quarry dust at 1:1.41:2.38 mix and 0.47 water/cement ratio, a logarithmic model has been developed for predicting the compressive strength of concrete between 0 and 28 days.

Analyze the existing block chain technology and recent developments of cryptocurrencies

The findings of our research are Cryptocurrencies are intangible, investors think that does not diminish the value of it. Most people would opt to invest in Cryptocurrencies to evade tax. Investors are expecting peer-to-peer transactions as it is easy to pay or transfer. Most of the investors think that Bitcoin is a Security and not a commodity. Investors say that investment in Cryptocurrencies shall affect traditional investments like equity and debt. Investors think that RBI should regulate Cryptocurrencies through stock exchanges. If Cryptocurrencies are legalized then there would be a revolution in the Indian market. Cryptocurrencies. Though people are ready to invest on Cryptocurrencies, they do not have complete knowledge about Block chain Technology. Most of the investors are aware of Cryptocurrencies, but they have not traded or mined Cryptocurrencies. Investors are expecting to hedge their risk on Bitcoin through futures contracts. People do not think Cryptocurrencies can be used as a payment method at retailer stores. Cryptocurrencies are non-government and investors like to trade, so the government should legalize cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies should not be made as a tangible asset, else it would lose its existence and demand. Cryptocurrencies are liked more by investors when they are found by Indian companies, so Indian Cryptocurrencies should be traded. Cryptocurrencies should enable retail transactions for better use. Transactions in Cryptocurrencies are still considered unsafe as the prices are high volatility. The government of India has not officially authorized the use of Bitcoin despite its significant demand by the people. Indian investors are keen to invest in IndianCryptocurrencies. Though people are ready to invest in Cryptocurrencies, they do not have complete knowledge about Block chain technology.

An overview on material and shape of crash box influence on the evaluation of the impact energy absorption capacity during a vehicle collision.

Foldable encroachment is the absorbers of energy playing a very crucial role in the protection of automotive components being damaged during any dispute. Any sort of disputes among the two objects leads to damage to one of the objects or in some cases both of the objects. Such damages can be scratches, fractures, or minor cracks. The designers should know about the behavior of the object or the type of material and how it will react under encroachment events. Different forms of energy absorbers with foldable encroachment are formed because of these factors. For the last few years, numerous experiments have been carried out to develop such foldable encroachment energy absorbers. This paper illustrates the studies carried out on typical shapes and actions of foldable encroachment energy absorbers as well as its under encroachment behavior high axial strain. Literature is discussed in-depth focused on experiments and study of the impact of various parameters of the geometry on crushing behavior testing the behaviors of such energy absorbers. An energy absorber might have multiple formations like square tubes, circular tube, or frustums of pyramids and cones. Studies on dynamics of crushing, modes of deformation, the capacity of energy-absorbance, the impact on the maximum, and mean crushing stress are the factors used to detect the crushing actions of the energy absorber. The present work aims to cover significant data from previous research of such parameters showing the behavior. Although the maximum of the studies conducted on the metallic energy absorbers, the main focus is on including the studies which made use of FML member, composite tube, FGT Tube, and the honeycomb plate in the form as a foldable encroachment energy absorber. Keywords? Foldable Encroachment Energy Absorber

Investigating the relationship between economic growth and NPAS in the context of Indian banks

Commercial banks in an economy are catalysts in economic growth because they convert accumulated savings into productive lending. They are exposed to a variety of risks when they do so and since credit is an essential determinant for economic growth, a high level of NPAs may result in slower economic growth and prospects. An understanding of the relationship between NPAs and economic growth is important to analyse the role of commercial banks in an economy. This will also help us determine the strength of the relationship between the two factors and whether or not either is a dominant determinant for the other. Thus, this study provides a comparative analysis of the relationship between GDP growth rate and the Gross NPA ratio in all banks across the country during a 19-year period commencing from 2000-01 to 2019-20.

Strategies for integrating Open Access Resources (OAR) into libraries collections: A study

The study’s general purpose is to assist both management and collection development practitioners in adopting appropriate strategies for integrating OA materials into libraries collections. The study was designed to specifically examine the challenges to the integration of OAR into libraries collections and to explore relevant strategies for the integration. The study utilized an online survey questionnaire sent to Seventy Eight collections development staff drawn from academic libraries, Library Boards, and special libraries for completion. Sixty Two (62) however, were completed and returned. This implies 79.4% return rate. All the respondents surveyed are members of the Nigerian Library Association (NLA), and are certified by the Librarians Registration Council of Nigeria (LRCN). The respondents were drawn from Federal university Libraries (7), State university libraries (6), private university libraries (22), federal polytechnic libraries (5), state polytechnic libraries (12), college libraries (5), special libraries (2), library boards (3). The survey instrument included Eleven (11) items. Data were analysed using graphical charts. The findings indicate that majority of the library do not acquire OAR, but have plans to make them part of their regular library acquisition workflows; majority of them strongly agree that collection development policy is key to OAR integration, but they don’t have the document for now, neither are their staff trained to manage OA effectively. Their major challenge to OAR integration include poor electricity supply, lack of knowledge and skills required for OA integration, and lack of support from the head librarian, lack of collection development policy document. The recommendations include that collection development policy should be put in place; library staff should be equipped with relevant skills through training and retraining; libraries should rather than purchasing expensive books and journals download OAR relevant to them, process them and make them available to their users as part of their collections; Libraries should be provided with uninterrupted fast speed internet access and power supply from solar power.
