    This paper examines the potential of business administration vs. computer science degrees in terms of earnings, job security, and job satisfaction. The paper focuses on earnings potential five years and ten years after the completion of business administration and computer science degrees.  Moreover, the paper presents the income changes with promotion and lifetime earnings expectations of both the business administration and computer science graduates

    A Numerical Simulation Approach for Investigation of the Pressure Coefficient on the Main Building at the Hill’s Top Under the Interference.

    The majority of the time, existing codes and standards are used to predict wind loads on structures. The criteria of these standards are based on a wind tunnel test that was done on a single building. On the other hand, buildings rarely stand alone. Wind loads on the principal building are increased or decreased as a result of interference effects caused by interfering buildings. A numerical simulation using ANSYS Fluent 2020 R1 is used in this research to investigate the impact on wind pressure on main building under the interference condition on the hill's top. The external average pressure coefficient on main building on hill’s top are determined in the presence of interfering building with varying height ratios of 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.25, and spacing to width ratios of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 on 3-D hill. The pressure coefficient decreases as the height of the interfering building rises, showing an increase in the shielding effects of the structure in the vicinity. Nevertheless, when the height of the interfering building is 0.5 of the height of the main building, it is found that the shielding effect has a significant impact on the main building. Because of its placement at the top of the hill, found a significant difference in the pressure coefficient on the rear face of the main building

    Underground Corrosion by Microorganisms Part II : Role of Anaerobic Sulphate Reducing Bacteria-Desulfotomaculum SP

    Get PDF
    During the course of studies on the corrosion causing soil microflora from different geoclimatic regions of India, several strains of anaerobic sulphate reducing bacteria belonging to genus Desulfotomaculum were isolated and characterised. Their corrosive action on mild steel, galvanised iron and structural aluminium, the three main metals of construction of underground structures, have been studied under laboratory conditions

    Underground Cordon by Microorganisms-Part-III Role of Soil Inhabiting Actinomycetes

    Get PDF
    Certain strains of soil inhabiting actinomycetes were found to substantially corrode aluminium alloy (54-S) which has bscn found tobe more resistant to bacterial or fungal corrosion in our earlier studies.These strains did not produce any corrosion on the mild steel and galvanised iron panels which were heavily corroded by bacteria and fungi. The corrosive isolates have been partialiy characterised after their isolation and purification. The extent of corrosion caused by eachstrain has been determined
