Effect of Bindu Ghrita on external application over Nabhi in Vibandha w.r.t. Constipation - A Case Series

Vibandha as both the terminologies have similar features like Purish Nigraha (obstruction of stool), Pakvashaya Shoola (pain abdomen), Parikartika (pain during defecation) etc. Constipation can occur at any age and is more common among individuals who resist the urge to move their bowels at their body's signal. Body is originally composed of Dosas, Dhatus and Malas. In Ayurveda there are so many preparations and Karmas to treat the constipation. By the application of Bindu Ghrita on Nabhi by penetrating into skin it enters Pakwashaya through Srotas due to Virya of the drug it expels the Dosha through Adhobhagahara and it expels Mala only in two external applications over Nabhi. By application over Nabhi expel the Dosha through Pakwashaya and relives the Vibandha

Finite-time reliable nonfragile control for fractionalorder nonlinear systems with asymmetrical saturation and structured uncertainties

This paper investigates the finite-time stabilization problem of fractional-order nonlinear differential systems via an asymmetrically saturated reliable control in the sense of Caputo’s fractional derivative. In particular, an asymmetrical saturation control problem is converted to a symmetrical saturation control problem by using a linear matrix inequality framework criterion to achieve the essential results. Specifically, in this paper, we obtain two sets of sufficient conditions under different scenarios of structured uncertainty, namely, norm-bounded parametric uncertainty and linear fractional transformation uncertainty. The uncertainty considered in this paper is a combination of polytopic form and structured form. With the help of control theories of fractional-order system and linear matrix inequality technique, some sufficient criteria to ensure reliable finite-time stability of fractional-order differential systems by using the indirect Lyapunov approach are derived. As a final point, the derived criteria are numerically validated by means of examples based on financial fractional-order differential system and permanent magnet synchronous motor chaotic fractional-order differential system

Framework for Understanding the Relationship between Lean and Safety in Construction

Safety and lean aim at similar goals in making the construction process faster, better and safer (Main et al. 2008). This research intends to answer the basic question: “Is there a relationship between lean and safety principles to help in reduction of waste and incidents?” The primary objective of this research is to understand the relationship of lean and safety through risk and uncertainty reduction. A qualitative analysis of lean methods and safety practices in the construction industry will be derived. Relationships between lean methods and safety practices will also be studied and the impacts of safety on lean methods will be analyzed. A framework that expresses the relationship of lean and safety theories will yield an understanding of the relations. The proposed framework will provide a larger picture of the association of lean and safety will explore the common grounds used in the minimization of waste and risk. The limitation of this research lies in qualitative findings from the data collected. A quantitative analysis involving the documentation of project processes and safety data would further strengthen the relationships identified. On the contrary, a quantitative approach would not provide a perspective on a larger scale. The principles of lean and safety are aligned and the construction industry could benefit by their integration A relationship has been established between lean methods and safety programs. Lean methods add value and eliminate waste, and safety helps in risk mitigation. Thus, it is widely evident that lean and safety have a synergy that can be harnessed to create a safe, productive workplace

Global status of Building Information Modeling (BIM) - A Review

The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has enhanced the construction industry by means of increasing quality of project, accurate quantity take-off, improved planning, scheduling, and visualization, consequently diminishing project contingencies, time and cost. BIM has been adopted by several countries, many researchers and institute have attempted to measure the BIM status across the world for which many quantitative and qualitative surveys have been conducted. The implementation of BIM technology is by no means equal in different countries all over the world. This study involves the finding of awareness and adoption of BIM in different countries in the world, for which 8 different countries were adopted which have large construction market. The survey data is collected from different research documents, Smart Market report, NBM National BIM reports and BIM surveys. The awareness and adoption of BIM in different countries is compared and plotted, it was found that awareness and adoption of BIM in North America is 71% giving highest percentage whereas in India it is at lowest level of awareness and adoption i.e. 22%. This paper explores the status of BIM in percentage users, heard but not using and non-user in different countries in the world
