A survey of Trace Metals Determination in Hospital Waste Incinerator in Lucknow City, India

Information on the elemental content of incinerator burning of human organ, animal and medical waste is scanty in India Nineteen trace elements were analyzed in the incinerator ash from four major hospitals, one municipal waste incinerator and two R & D laboratories engaged in animal experiment in Lucknow city. Concentrations of Zinc and Lead were found to be very high in comparison to other metals due to burning of plastic products. The source of Ca, P and K are mainly bone, teeth and other animal organs. A wide variation in trace concentration of several toxic elements have been seen due to variation in initial waste composition, design of the incinerator and operating conditions

Returns on Library Investment: A Study of the Leading Engineering and Technology Institutes in India

The study is based on the secondary data compiled by the Ministry of Human Resource & Development, Govt., of India for the period 2012-13, 2013-14 & 2014-15 and was released as the ranking list of Institutes of Engineering and Technology in India for the year 2016. The study aims to assess the Returns on Investment (ROI) of the twenty leading libraries of the Institutes of Engineering and Technology in India in the form of institutional research output. An attempted has also been made to rank the each individual library on the basis of seven different parameters chosen for the study and worked out the difference between their ascribed rank as per the MHRD list and the achieved ranks worked out on the basis of chosen. The rankings have been calculated on the basis of scores earned by each individual library against each individual parameter. The results showed that the Institutes of Engineering and Technology in India concentrate more on procurement of electronic resources in their libraries, spending nearly three-fourth of their budget on the procurement of electronic documents mostly in thr form of online journals and eBooks. While evaluating the ascribed and achieved ranking, 95% libraries under study faced shuffle, as 55% libraries slipped in their rank, while as 45 % improved and 5% showed no change. The study gives a clear idea about the importance of libraries and the part these sub-institutions’ play in the overall ranking of their institution

Non-Destructive Evaluation—A Pivotal Technology for Qualification of Composite Aircraft Structures

Tremendous advances in composite materials and a deeper understanding of their behavior have been responsible for the increased use of composites in the development of advanced, new generation civil and military aircraft. Composites play an important role in any aircraft development programme and are strong contenders to their metal counterparts due to their significant contributions towards improving strength, stiffness, fatigue properties & weight reduction. As materials, structural design & processing have evolved, strong emphasis is placed on effective & reliable damage detection, durability and damage tolerance. As a consequence, Non-destructive Evaluation (NDE) has also undergone significant advances towards meeting the growing demands of quality assurance. Advanced Composites Division (ACD) of National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), has been involved in the development of composite structures for both civil and military aircraft for over a decade and a half. Innovative composite processing methods like co-curing/co-bonding have been successfully employed to realize airworthy structures. The role of NDE in the development of these structures has been critical and not limited to damage detection alone. On several occasions, NDE has provided valuable inputs towards improving design and process parameters. In-spite of the complexity of the structures, stringent quality requirements and tight delivery schedules, NDE has been successful in certifying these composite structures for airworthiness. This paper discusses the implementation of key NDE techniques like ultrasonics, radiography, acoustic emission and thermography for reliable flaw detection, characterization and quality assurance of composite aircraft structures

Text Clustering and Classification Techniques using Data Mining

Text classification is the task of automatically sorting a set of documents into categories from a predefined set. Text Classification is a data mining technique used to predict group membership for data instances within a given dataset. It is used for classifying data into different classes by considering some constrains. Instead of traditional feature selection techniques used for text document classification. A Naive Bayesian model is easy to build, with no complicated iterative parameter estimation which makes it particularly useful for very large datasets. Automated Text categorization and class prediction is important for text categorization to reduce the feature size and to speed up the learning process of classifiers

Enrolment Scenario of Library and Information Science Education in India: An Overview

Purpose: The study is based on secondary data of all India Survey on Higher Education in India, conducted by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development, Govt., of India and attempts to assess the overall enrolment scenario of Library and Information Education in India. The study evaluates the enrolment data of seven years viz., for the period 2011-12 through 2017-18, retrieved from the official website of the Ministry of Human Resource and Development, Govt., of India. Methodology and Scope: The study is based on the survey data collected by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development, Govt., of India under all India Survey on Higher Education. The data are available in open access format and can be accessed from its official website. The data used for the study is for seven years and lasts for the period 2011-12 to 2017-18. The scope of the study is limited to Library and Information Science Education in India and the findings of the study cannot be generalized at the global or any other level. However, the findings of this study can give a better idea about the scenario of LIS education across the world, as India is one of largest countries in the world producing the largest number of LIS graduates Findings: The results of the study revealed that of the total enrolments made in higher education in India across different subject disciplines during the period of study, meager 0.36% of students were enrolled in Library and Information Science. The enrolment in Library and Information Science in India during the period of study recorded a negative -5.38% Average Annual Corresponding Growth (AACG), which is quite worrisome, while as, the overall enrolment of the country registered an AACG of 3.31%. The results indicate that LIS education in India is quite popular among female students, as compared 47.70% male students, 52.30% female students were enrolled in LIS courses during the period of study. Given the distribution of students across different LIS programmes, it appears that LIS courses with nomenclature BLISc and MLISc are more popular among the students than the course with conventional nomenclature like B.Lib.Sc and M.Lib.Sc. These and many more aspects related to Library and Information Education in India were evaluated and discussed

A Study to Analyze the Efficacy of Maitland’s Mobilization Technique and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Pain and Hand Grip Strength in Patients with Post Colle’s Fracture Stiffness

Abstract- BACKGROUND: Colle’s fracture is a very common extra-articular fracture that occurs as the result of a fall on out stretched hand (FOOSH). Although Colle’s fractures are commonly seen in all age groups and demographics, they are particularly common in osteoporotic individuals and as such are more frequently seen in elderly women. Some complications are associated with injury itself. The complications such as persistent neuropathy of median nerve, ulnar nerve or radial nerve, malunited fracture and post traumatic stiffness have been reported in 1 out of 3 patients. Rehabilitation of fractures is a very important thing because of the limitations produced by improper management can lead to stiffness, deformity and limitation of functions. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of Maitland’s mobilization with Neuro-Muscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on pain and hand grip strength in patients with post Colle’s fracture stiffness. DESIGN: Pre- test and Post- test experimental study desig
