A review on design of tall building structures with a hexagrid system using STAAD Pro

Recent design trends in tall buildings pose new challenges to structural designers, in addition to the traditional requirements for strength, stiffness, ductility and system efficiency. Ever increasing heights and complexity of form, need for robustness coupled to an economy, awareness of limited material resources and sustainability, are all new demanding questions to be tackled with fresh approaches, novel structural systems, and open minds. Structural configurations best addressing the traditional requirements of strength and stiffness for tall buildings are the ones employing the tube concept, whose efficiency is strictly related to the involved shear resisting mechanism, and in fact the historical evolution of the tube concept has been marked by the attempts of reducing the occurrence of efficiency loss due to shear deformations. In this paper, the structural behavior of innovative structural solutions for tube structure is discussed, studying the peculiar behavior of each analyzed geometry, proposing new design approaches and evaluating the related structural efficiency.

Feedback Tracker: Android application to find the biased behaviour of students while filing the feedback form for their teachers

Student feedback is a process of collecting student reviews about the teacher’s performance in order to evaluate the teacher’s effectiveness. It has thus the most powerful influences on learning and achievements. Its power is very often mentioned in different articles about learning and teaching, but surprisingly few recent studies have systematically investigated its meaning. Although feedback is among the major influences, the type of feedback and the way it is given can be differentially effective. Nowadays, technology is increasingly used by a human being in every field. The concept of “Feedback_Tracker” introduced in this paper is to digitalize and organize the feedback process. What makes the “Feedback_Tracker” different from the traditional pen-paper feedbacks is, it’s set of complimentary criteria’s taken into consideration while evaluating each feedback score. The idea behind evaluating the feedback score in a better way is to take into account the biased behavior of each student while filling out the feedback form. It is an effort to evaluate the performance of a faculty depending upon the student satisfaction level, taking into consideration the biased behavior of students. Finally, this analysis and concept are used to suggest ways in which feedback can be used to enhance its effectiveness in classrooms.

Personal characteristics of rural youth in cattle management practices

The aim of the study is to be taken as a participation of rural Youth in cattle management practices in relation to their personal characteristics in the selected areas of Latur. The study was carried out at the twelve villages of Latur District. From each village 10, rural youth were selected with the purpose of the study and data were collected from them by direct interview. This indicates that personal characteristics of rural youth in cattle management on the Distribution of the respondents according to their level of education, land holding, cosmopoliteness, family size, extension contact, a source of information, social participation.

Study of risk associated with cross-infection in different occupational and routine public places

A total of fifty samples were selected to study cross-infection among different occupational workers and public dealing places, of which forty-four samples were randomly selected from peoples engaged in different occupations, four samples from public urinals and two samples from the keyboards of public dealing places. It was reported that out of the fifty samples, thirty three samples were found positive for growth of mixed colonial morphology of microorganisms on nutrient agar and blood agar media. Nineteen samples showed positive growth out of 34 samples taken from intact hands, all the six samples showed positive growth taken from infected hands and three out of four samples showed positive growth from injured hands. Further, all the four samples taken from public urinals showed profuse growth with different colonial morphology and one sample showed characteristic growth from the two keyboards samples.

Thesis

Redesign of traffic signal timing for minimal delay of Chamrajpete junction in Bengaluru city, India

This research is intended to highlight the delay occurred by the vehicular traffic at Chamrajpete traffic signal junction. Also, the time and fuel loss by the vehicle user at the same junction due to the split-green time at Road 1- Basavanagudi Road (Bull Temple Road) and Road 2- Sirsi Circle Road. Hence, the redesign of traffic signal timing for the minimal delay is studied and the improvements are suggested to overcome the delay at the junction.

Review Paper

White spot lesions and their management

White spot lesions develop as a result of a dietary carbohydrate and saliva modified bacterial infection, resulting in an imbalance between demineralisation and remineralisation of enamel. The lesion is caused by the accumulation of plaque and bacteria along with insufficient oral hygiene. High plaque accumulation can increase the risk of white spot lesion formation. The dynamic balance between demineralization and remineralization determines the progression of white spot lesion. The diagnostic armamentarium includes novel technologies and non-invasive techniques like fiber-optic transillumination and electrical resistance methods which are very useful in detecting posterior approximal dentinal caries and occlusal caries. Radiographs and direct digital imaging are still important tools in the estimation of caries. A clear understanding of the mechanism of subsurface lesion formation and progression, possibilities, and limitations of newer methods and their clinical applications need to be recognized by the dentist to direct preventive strategies to the high caries risk individuals.
