Defensive architecture – A design against humanity

A city should give its best to all those who reside in it. They might be the rich enjoying a fantastic view of the skyline from their balconies, or the poor who settle themselves under the flyovers for a night or two. Apart from all the living classes, a city can be completely accepted as livable only when it welcomes the homeless and those in need of a small shelter. In recent years, public architecture has involved both negative and positive issues of having homeless within the city. Some cities across the globe aspiring to build ‘less-ugly’ public spaces introduced the concept of ‘defensive architecture’, but in reality, these ideas turned out to be unkind actions against the homeless. Defensive architecture involves gating off the doorways and left-over urban spaces, which provide some refuge for those who have to sleep rough in cities, yet these spaces, are made uninhabitable for them. These concepts that are considered as a step forward to a better and high standard living prove to be a blot on humanity. In this paper, defensive architecture is explained as a hostile practice that creates a devastating psychological effect on the homeless. It further argues how an intention to make the cities’ investors and consumers feel safe in turn actually created hostile environments and that much more empirical research is needed on this topic.

National library and information network a solution for 21st-century library

The knowledge is generated at many points in the world from research institutions, universities industries, and commercial organizations. From the point of generating the knowledge is recorded and communicated through a variety of channels. The effective and horizontal transfer of information is becoming vital in the process of economic development of the country. Therefore a planned approach to organizing the information to ensure that information gaps are plugged and free-flow exchange of information on a centralized basis. The National Library and Information Network as a powerful National force is now being recognized by the government, industry, and education. The National Library and Information Network is a means of achieving national objectives through a very economical way and effective utilization of Information and helps to reduce the wasteful duplication of intellectual effort and expense incurred in providing duplicate coverage of the same materials. A National Library and information network is the only solution to meet the need and requirements of the 21st-century library.

Estimation and parametric analysis of heat transfer coefficient for a solar still: A review

Solar still is a device which is used to obtain fresh drinkable water from saline water with the use of solar radiations and solar desalination process. There is a number of solar still designs and various ways to increase its performance. So, in this review paper, an attempt is done to do an analysis of the heat transfer coefficient on various parameters (PCM, Specific height, Aspect Ratio, Insulation, Thickness of glass, angle of slope and absorbing plate).

Study on preparation of ready to serve mixed petal beverage and its health benefits

In our surroundings, thousands of edible flowers are found such as hibiscus, rose, lotus, jasmine, etc. Up till now flowers were not popularly known as edible commodities but were widely used for decorative or worship purposes. But some research has found that several flowers contain Vitamin A and Vitamin C, calcium, phosphorous, iron and potassium. This study focuses on the preparation of mixed petal juice with added mint leaves, lemon juice, and sugar syrup. Flower petals were washed and then boiled in water with the addition of sugar and mint leaves and also lemon juice for change in organoleptic values.

Analysis of handover mechanism on mobile IP

Mobility management protocols use various layers of the protocols for the past years. This protocol uses various handoff for various types of applications. The aim of this paper is to investigate handoff concepts in wireless communication. Mobility is an important feature of wireless cellular systems. As a mobile subscriber move between various radio networks, handoff/handover is needed to continue the active process. The continuation of an active call is one of the most important quality measurements in wireless mobile cellular systems. The handover process enables a mobile cellular system to provide such a facility by transferring an active call from one cell to another cell. This paper represents the approaches, types, and techniques used for transferring an ongoing call from the current cell to the next adjacent cell.

A study on competitive sorption of combined heavy metals in low permeable soil

A widespread and pervasive global problem now existing in the environment is the subsurface contamination. The contaminants found may include wide range of toxic pollutants such as heavy metals, radionuclides, and organic compounds. Thus there is an urgent need for the remediation of these sites. The knowledge of sorption characteristics of the contaminants in the soil helps in the selection of appropriate method of remediation in order to achieve the maximum eddicacy. Only if appropriate method is chosen, the remediation can be done effectively. In general, sorption refers to the transfer of mobile contaminant ions from the pore fluid to soil particle surfaces, rendering them immobile. For the study, the soil sample was collected from Tamil Nagar, Tirunelveli and a combination of heavy metals like zinc and copper was selected as this combination of contaminants is been reported as most prevalent in major of the industrial effluents. The particularity of these contaminants is that these are the most widely found elements in most of the industrial effluents. The influence of the initial concentration of the heavy metals on the sorption capability of soil was studied. It was found that increased initial concentration of heavy metal in the pore fluid, results in increase amount of heavy metal uptake per unit weight of the sorbent of heavy metal. Data analysed plotted using Langmuir isotherm concludes that copper is preferably more adsorbable on soil than zinc.
