Disaster Management

The study deals with semi automatic extraction of urban risk related base data and their different generic aspects. Emphasis is given to the building footprint map which is a major base data. The main objective of the study is to extract Building Footprints from High Resolution Imagery using a semi automated approach. In this context the research mainly focuses on developing an integrated extraction to generate the risk related base data in an urban area from high resolution remote sensing images. A multi scale object oriented fuzzy classification of various urban settings was carried out. The method was applied in Dehradun, Uttaranchal, India. The city lies in the high seismic risk zone, also experiencing rapid urbanization due to its newly attained status of a state capital. The extracted base data maps were empirically evaluated by comparing them with visually interpreted reference maps. The evaluation of the extracted base data was carried out by both the quantitative and quality assessment techniques. It was observed that the building footprints extracted from fused Ikonos (PAN+XS) image gave acceptable accuracy for providing better management and better preparedness for any future disasters. Though there are compound problems associated with extraction of information from high resolution images, it is demonstrated from the study that such extraction techniques can be used and improved upo

DESIGNING AN IOT BASED EMERGING MECHANISM GENERATING ELECTRIC ENERGY THROUGH SPEED BREAKER

The economy of any country depends on its ability to conserve and regenerate energy. Therefore, it is a key element for the development of any country. Every second its supply is rapidly becoming exhausted in this fast and busy moving world. The continuous and dynamic rise in the world’s population has a great impact on energy crisis. Due to this, an optimal method of utilising energy needs to be developed. For instance, eco-friendly solutions for vehicles. An effective generation of power can be obtained with three steps, one as linear motion to rotary and again rotary motion to produce electricity. Owing to this concept, energy can be preserved, and its implementation is essential for current situation considering a high rate of world’s population

The dynamic linkage between exchange rate, stock price and interest rate in India

Our major findings indicate that the empirical relationship between these variables is not significant at lower scales. As we go on higher scales, there is a clear linkage between them and three markets are associated with each other. Moreover, the direction and type of the relationship depends on the frequency bands and finally with the help of Granger causality tests we established a lead/lag relationship between stock price, exchange rate and interest rate

Clinical applications of intracranial pressure monitoring in traumatic brain injury

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has been for decades a cornerstone of traumatic brain injury (TBI) management. Nevertheless, in recent years, its usefulness has been questioned in several reports. A group of neurosurgeons and neurointensivists met to openly discuss, and provide consensus on, practical applications of ICP in severe adult TBI. A consensus conference was held in Milan on October 5, 2013, putting together neurosurgeons and intensivists with recognized expertise in treatment of TBI. Four topics have been selected and addressed in pro-con presentations: 1) ICP indications in diffuse brain injury, 2) cerebral contusions, 3) secondary decompressive craniectomy (DC), and 4) after evacuation of intracranial traumatic hematomas. The participants were asked to elaborate on the existing published evidence (without a systematic review) and their personal clinical experience. Based on the presentations and discussions of the conference, some drafts were circulated among the attendants. After remarks and further contributions were collected, a final document was approved by the participants. The group made the following recommendations: 1) in comatose TBI patients, in case of normal computed tomography (CT) scan, there is no indication for ICP monitoring; 2) ICP monitoring is indicated in comatose TBI patients with cerebral contusions in whom the interruption of sedation to check neurological status is dangerous and when the clinical examination is not completely reliable. The probe should be positioned on the side of the larger contusion; 3) ICP monitoring is generally recommended following a secondary DC in order to assess the effectiveness of DC in terms of ICP control and guide further therapy; 4) ICP monitoring after evacuation of an acute supratentorial intracranial hematoma should be considered for salvageable patients at increased risk of intracranial hypertension with particular perioperative features
