Study on application of geosynthetics for strengthening of soil

Geosynthetics have been widely used in recent thirty years for separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and containment functions of the pavement design. The use and sales of geosynthetics materials are increasing 10% to 20% per year. This paper reviews research into the application of geosynthetic materials such as geogrids, geotextiles, geocomposites, geonets, geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners, geofoam, and geocells in for strengthening of soil by focusing on the literature review, basic useful characteristics and basic information collection of geosynthetics. Among them, the study focuses on the reduction of base course thickness by using the geogrid material in the base course layer without changing the load carrying capacity and the performance of the pavement. Modified AASHTO design result shows that about 20% to 40% base course reduction is possible using geogrid in pavement design, with a greater percentage reduction for stronger subgrade materials. have been defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee D35 on geosynthetics as planar products manufactured from polymeric materials used with soil, rock, earth, or other geotechnical engineering related material as an integral part of a man-made project, structure or system. Geosynthetics is the term used to describe a range of polymeric products used for Civil Engineering construction works. The term is generally regarded to encompass eight main products categories The most popular geosynthetics used are the geotextiles and geomembrane. Geomembrane is an essentially impermeable membrane in the form of the manufactured sheet used widely as cut-offs and liners. They are often used to line landfills.

Malnutrition identification and implementation methods by using recent biooptics and nano technology

Nanotechnology is the formation of practical materials, gadgets, and frameworks through the control of issue at a length size of ~1– 100 nm. At such a scale, novel properties and capacities happen in light of size. This rising field is getting to be imperative in empowering leaps forward of new and powerful instruments in the medicinal sciences (e.g. nanomedicine), on the grounds that it offers the likelihood of analyzing organic procedures in manners that were not already conceivable. The therapeutic utilization of nanotechnology incorporates the improvement of nanoparticles for demonstrative and screening purposes (i.e. early discovery of malignant growth), improvement of counterfeit cell proteins, for example, receptors, DNA and protein sequencing utilizing nanopores and nanosprays, the make of interesting medication (and supplement) conveyance frameworks, and also quality treatment and tissue engineering applications.

Study of different blind spot detection techniques

A blind spot in a vehicle is an area around the vehicle that cannot be directly observed by the driver while at the controls. Blind spots exist in a wide range of vehicles: aircraft, cars, motorboats, sailboats, and trucks. Other types of transport have no blind spots at all, such as bicycles, horses, and motorcycles. Blind spots represent an extreme danger for motorists, especially at highway speeds; each year, thousands of accidents happen when drivers change lanes and collide with other vehicles that were in their blind spots. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, blind spot-related accidents are responsible for more than 800,000 accidents and more than 300 fatalities each year. These accidents are especially difficult to avoid because even practicing defensive driving is not always enough to prevent them; you cannot react to a vehicle that you cannot see. Proper adjustment of mirrors and use of other technical solutions can eliminate or alleviate vehicle blind spots. The goal of this paper is to study different blind spot detection techniques and to have a comparison between them.

Development and validation of assay method for estimation of Apixaban in bulk drug and its marketed formulation

The paper involves the development of a simple, precise and sensitive method for estimation of Apixaban in bulk drug and its marketed formulation using a reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method. The separation was achieved on C18 INERTSIL ODS-2 Column (250 mm×4.6 mm×5 um) using mobile phase (Buffer: ACN) in the ratio of 55:45(v/v) with a run time of 15 minutes and wavelength for estimation of Apixaban was taken as 280 nm. Literature survey reveals that there are very few HPLC, UV methods were available Hence an attempt has been made to develop an RP-HPLC method for estimation of Apixaban. The developed method was validated for Linearity, Accuracy (% Recovery), Precision, LOD, and LOQ etc. the linearity was found to be in the range of 1-3 μg/ml with correlation coefficient found for linearity is 0.999. The developed and validated RP-HPLC method is applied for the identification of eluted.

Analytical method development and validation for estimation of Dapagliflozin in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form using RP-HPLC

The incidence of diabetes is growing rapidly both in India and worldwide. Dapagliflozin is a drug of the gliflozin class which is a sodium-glucose cotransporter – inhibitor (SGLT-2), which prevent glucose reabsorption in the kidney. The present investigation is concerned with method development and validation of simple, precise, accurate, reproducible and specific reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for estimation of Dapagliflozin in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form using an INERTSIL ODS-2 C18 column (250mm x 4.6mm x 5µ) column in isocratic mode with 0.01 M Ammonium Formate Buffer (pH 3.5): Acetonitrile (50:50 v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1ml/min. The determination of analyte was carried out at 224nm using a PDA detector. The retention time for Dapagliflozin was found to be 4.7 min. The proposed method has permitted the quantification of Dapagliflozin over linearity in the range of 1.25 – 3.75 µg/ml and its mean recovery were found to be 99.91%. The % RSD of intraday and interday precision were found 0.40% and 0.46%. The proposed method was applied successfully for the determination of Dapagliflozin in a pharmaceutical dosage form.

A randomized comparison of effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy versus conventional physiotherapy on upper-extremity dysfunction in the treatment of adult hemiplegia

This study is designed to compare the effectiveness of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Versus Conventional Physiotherapy for improving involved upper extremity movement efficiency in Adult Hemiplegic patients. To know the effectiveness of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity dysfunction for management of Adult Hemiplegia. The study is carried out at the Vihar Hospital, Anand. 40 patients of adult hemiplegia were recruited into two groups after inform consent was taken from all patients. Group 1: Experimental group received Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) which includes active/passive Mobility exercises, Muscle Stretching, Muscle Strengthening, Weight Bearing Exercises, Task-specific and Fine motor practice of affected upper limb. Group 2: control group received conventional physiotherapy which includes active/passive mobility exercises, muscle stretching, muscle strengthening, weight bearing exercises, throwing a ball, moving, transferring, reaching and manipulating an object with detailed evaluation including ARAT score were taken as a baseline as well as postoperatively after the 4th week of treatment. Both the groups showed clinically and statistically significant improvement in total ARAT score at 4-weeks. The total ARAT scores had improved by 38.10 % in the experimental group and by 20.61 % in the control group. Results of the study concluded that there was a significant improvement in both the groups; however the Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy group was more effective for improving involved upper extremity movement efficiency in patients of adult hemiplegia.
