Air-conditioning guidelines for healthcare facilities during the covid pandemic

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, physical contact and contact with surfaces as well as fomites. Isolation of patients in hospitals and quarantine of contacts in separate facilities are the mainstay of outbreak containment. This pandemic has brought forward various challenges to the hospital administrators, one of the most important being air-conditioning of hospitals in the time of this pandemic

Analysis Of The Fixed Window Functions In The Fractional Fourier Domain

In this paper, the equivalent noise bandwidth, coherent gain and scallop loss in the Fractional Fourier domain have been characterized and the characterized expression for these parameters has been provided. Along with these parameters, 3db bandwidth, 6 db band width, Highest side lobe, Main lobe width, Worst case processing loss for different fixed windows, have also been evaluated in Fractional Fourier domain and the result is analyzed

A REVIEW OF RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Risk assessment is a series of processes consisting of risk analysis, assessment of magnitude of risk, judgment on whether the risk is acceptable or unacceptable, and making and assessing risk control options, to attain this goal. Risk assessment will play an important role when the part relate to the risk within decisions made by an organization is to be rationally implemented. Managing these processes can be quite a challenge for the management. Risk management includes identifying risks, assessing risks either quantitatively or qualitatively, choosing the appropriate method for handling risks, and then monitoring and documenting risks. This study identifies the procedures for risk identification, management and its perception from the Indian construction industry. Time and cost management need to be fully integrated with the identification process. The aim of this study is to advise for a method of risk mitigation which includes a well-documented procedure which serves as a one stop-solution to all the risks that would emanate in the future. We conducted a survey research by applying a questionnaire among in the construction industry. The risk identification techniques more frequently applied in construction are checklist, flowchart, Brain storming, Delphi method, Anova hypothesis etc
