Effect on strength of concrete by partial replacement of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates
India is surging ahead with a renewed focus on urbanization & industrialization to maintain a sustainable growth & development. However, with the ever-increasing population, rapid urbanization & industrialization the waste generation, as a result, natural resource consumption is also rising at the equal pace. The construction industry has gained fast growth in the recent decade due to above-mentioned sectors, which is directly proportional to Increase in demand for construction materials are huge for the construction activities which results in the generation of huge amount of construction waste. The production of waste due to the demolition of the structures is 10 times more than construction waste generated. So, there is a need for management of construction and demolition waste, as it is distinct from municipal solid waste. Construction and demolition waste to be considered as high volume, high risk since lakes, open lands, dumping yards, rivers and roads are being encroached. That waste can be considered as a resource, either for reuse in its original form or recycling or energy recovery and public concerns about the environment, it is desirable to recycle materials from building demolition. Building material account for about half of the solid waste generated they have an environmental impact at every step of the building process. Despite this, most Construction and Demolition waste end up in Prodigious landfills happening in India. So, this study/survey limited to know strength of mixes in which natural aggregates are partially replaced with recycled aggregates in 0% , 20% 35% ,50% and 100%, cement and concrete consumed by Hyderabad, present methodology of handling construction and demolition waste and amount of c&d waste generated in Hyderabad.

Retina based E-voting system using fuzzy logic and hamming distance
Online E-Voting system is a convenient process to poll their votes easily for users. An online voting system is a very popular method but it has a lot of security issues. The major issue of this process is considered a user authentication and data storage. There are many secured passwords based securities are available in the last decades, but such kind of securities are not safe for user authentication it is easily hacked by the attackers. Hence, Biometric based E-voting system provide reliable security for the confidential E-voting system. The retina based E-voting has provided more reliable security for user authentication. In this work, the feature extraction process is done by the fuzzy logic and the matching process is done by the hamming distance and Manhattan distance to match frequent patterns in similarity measures between the retinal images and identifies detection probabilities in retina layers. Angular and radial partitioning techniques are used to detect the similarities of the blood vessels. This mechanism provides maximum security and achieves optimal results for the E-voting system.

The effect of caffeine and nicotine on different plants growth
This study was carried out to show the effect of nicotine on different plants. For this experiment, we use two plants Trigonellafoenum-graecum & Mustard Brassica.juncea as they are fast growing plants. The source of nicotine was BEEDI (local cigarette) & KK ( pan masala). Three -three pots taken for each plants Trigonellafoenum-graecum & mustard Brassica. juncea. Trigonellafoenum-graecum for taken 3 pots one for normal, one for kk, one for beedi same is taken for mustard Brassica juncea. An equal amount of water is given on a daily basis & equal environmental condition was provided. It shows that beedi & kk enhance the growth of plants as compared with normal plants. The purpose of this experiment is to see whether coffee and cigarette can make a plant grow taller within 10 days. This experiment was done by using mung bean (Vigna.radiata L) plants and watering them daily with normal water, water mixed with caffeine and with a coffee mixture. The height of the plant was measured as a daily parameter to check the effect on growth. On the fifteenth day of germination, the plant was removed to evaluate dry weight and spectrophotometric measurement for chlorophyll content. The result of the experiment found that caffeine with low amount gives best results which can be reconfirmed by height, chl a, b, carotenoid estimation. The result indicates that mung bean grows faster in soil with caffeine. The effect of nicotine on plant growth (fenugreek seeds) by using cigarette and chewing tobacco. Nicotine is an addictive drug that is found mostly in cigarettes, cigar, chewing snuff. Cigarette and chewing tobacco contain thousands of chemical compound but nicotine is a major constituent of cigarette and tobacco, kills insect pests and used in many organic insecticides to protect plants. Our study investigated the impact of pure tobacco(chewing) and a cigarette on seed germination of fenugreek. The result showed that if we use a cigarette, the plant will grow taller” as compared to the normal plant. But there was a significant decrease in germination rate or growth at pure tobacco or at high concentration of tobacco Qualitative test perform to check the presence of carbohydrate and protein which gives a positive result. Different concentration of bidi and kk used to check their effect on plant growth. Concentration like 1% ,2% &3%. Kk shows the highest growth at 3% then 1%&least on 2%.In nicotine shows the highest growth at 3%then 2%&1%.

Clinical study of distal femur fracture treated operatively- Minimum 6 months of follow-up
Fractures in the distal femur have posed considerable therapeutic challenges throughout the history of fracture treatment because they are usually compound, comminuted, readily deformed because of muscle forces acting on the distal fragment, prone to result in functional impairment of the knee joint and ankle joint because of injury to quadriceps system and often occur in elderly patients with osteoporosis.

An integrated subsystem for basement flood detection
Disaster Management accords with the response to the management of resources and property. It is the exigency in today’s world. Flooding has become a global pervasive in the past decades which hampers economic and social development. This project endeavors an integrated flood risk management system employing a magnetic reed switch interfaced with microprocessor Arduino UNO using microcontroller 328p. The build-out in the architecture of the buildings into apartments and complexes have made a requisite for basements. This device is hence installed in the parking lot and basement of apartments, malls and corporate buildings as the water reach a particular level the reed switch gets closed generating an alert.T he residents of the apartment or the authorities of the building get an SMS through GSM module followed by an alarm. Now once excess water starts accumulating, water suction motor is used to remove water to prevent the rapid rise of water. Thus the reed switch is interfaced with Arduino for flood detection and the rising water level in the basement of buildings and alert people for easy evacuation. The comparison of the reed switch and the previously used sensors is done and the results are obtained.

Health scenario of Assam: A study
NRHM is a crucial health initiative taken by the government to improve the health of the rural masses with the special attention to the disadvantaged groups including women and children. In this developing country with illiteracy, poverty, disparity, malnutrition etc, among the rural population, the mission aimed to have dramatic changes in the health status by providing affordable, accessible and available healthcare facility. Assam was embraced by the umbrella of the mission as one of the special focus states. Various initiatives and schemes have been undertaken under the mission to positively affect the health status of the state. An attempt is made in this paper to analyze the performance and effectiveness of the role played by the mission to meet its goals and to change the health scenario of the state. Relying on the available secondary data, the paper shows the improved health indicators and the health system during the period of NRHM. Also, an attempt is made to focus on the existing lacuna of the mission or its performance.
