Abstract: [+]
Now a days disease can spread wider and easier which causes a serious issue to both living and non-living beings. In such situations, we will instantly go to a hospital to treat the patient on the hospital information system. The problem is, hospital with more than thousands of patients feels difficult to categorize the patients and to prioritize whom to give first preference to treat. The Manual reviews of patient’s health records to identify their issues are time consuming. For this purpose health and hospital information system text and data mining is used. Medical text mining is developed now days, but there are some negative effects in this field, that is few diseases and predictions are not found by using older technology. To defeat this,we are developing a method based ontext mining systems to distinguish the radiology and pathology reports that classifies the prediction of disease in terms of positive and negative impact of the disease.  So in this manuscript, the proposes to classify the radiology and pathology reports using  Support Vector Machine(SVM), Naïve Bayes(NB), and Modified Extreme Learning Machine(MELM) these three classifiers which providesaccurate results.Our results see eye to eye fairly well with those obtained using manual reviews, and we therefore believe that it is possible to develop automatic tools for monitoring aspects of patient convenience and priorities.

Abstract: [+]
Currently most of the Indian urban communities are encountering fast urbanization and a dominant part of the nation’s populace is likely to live in urban communities within next two decades. Due to the quick advancements in urban India, the number of vehicles has increased and in a few urban areas the vehicle count has even doubled. The motor vehicles are one of the major causes of pollution in the atmosphere. Pollution from the motor vehicles is primarily the pollution which is directly emitted in the atmosphere and when there occur various chemical reactions among pollutants which further pollutes the atmosphere is termed as secondary pollution.When air contamination becomes adequately high, then it may result in serious consequences and may even results in death in some cases.Further this pollution affects people with lung and heart diseases. In this article, a detailed overview about the effect of vehicle pollution on urban areas has been presented. Also the strategies for reducing the air pollution caused by vehicles in urban areas have been discussed in this article.

Abstract: [+]
Now a days, the problem associated with the construction industry is raw materials. Some of them are availability of raw materials, the energy needed for the manufacturing of cement and also the environment pollution happens due to emission of CO2 during its manufacturing and so on. Hence advanced research is taking place to avoid the usage of the raw materials like Cement, fine and Coarse aggregate without affecting the indented environmental and structural behavior. One of the ideas to avoid its usage is replacement of raw materials. In other words, dormant, inactive portion of the building sections also helps to mitigate this problem. That is the compressive and tensile force acting in the neutral axis of concrete member is zero. Hence the materials filled in and around the neutral axis grants neither strength nor resistance. Thus the neutral axis along the member gets replaced with an alternative like low-grade concrete, Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) balls and expanded polystyrene sheets (EPS) or it can be left hollow will give a promising effect in reducing the consumption of raw materials.With this eco-friendly, environment is obtained due to the reduction in usage of concrete in the neutrals axis , hence forth consumption of cement is greatly reduced and also usage of supplementary cementing materials like fly ash as an additive in this work also helps to achieve this. It also leads for moving towards green technologies and reduces emission of CO2. In this paper, the feasibility study on the behavior of flexural member with replacement of expanded polystyrene sheets having various thicknesses of 12 mm, 25 mm, 50mm is analyzed for M20 grade self-compacting concrete (SCC) members are studied.

Abstract: [+]
Make use of alternative aggregate is undoubtedly a significant phase to sustainable growth in the construction industry. Pumice aggregate is a feasible substitute to natural aggregate. Masonry infilled Reinforced Concrete (RC) framed structure is the utmost common kind of building in which, RC frames contribute in resisting lateral forces. Due to heavy mass and rigid construction, the RC framed buildings performs unfortunate under lateral forces. Practice of Lightweight concrete (LWC) is superlative because the dead load of concrete is massive. Low density materials are chosen in LWC reduces the mass of the building thus decreasing the influence of lateral forces. In this investigation, pumice is a naturally available material of volcanic source, has low density, which creates it ideal for production of LWC, likewise steel fibres are employed. In this paper the structural behaviour of Lightweight RC framed structures realized by using steel fibres and subjected to lateral forces, In this study, four RC frames viz., F1-NWC (Control), F2- NWCF (with 1% Vf of steel fibres), F3-LWC (with 20% substitute of coarse aggregate instead of pumice aggregate) and F4-LWCF (with 20% substitute of coarse aggregate instead of pumice aggregate and 1% Vf of steel fibres) were casted and tested under in-plane horizontal loading, which are designed according to Indian Standard (IS) code IS 456 (2000).

Abstract: [+]
Electric Vehicles represent one of the key technologies to reduce CO2 emissions; their effective potential in real world driving conditions strongly depends on the performance of their Energy Management System. Range anxiety is an obstacle to the acceptance of electric vehicles caused by driver’s uncertainty regarding their vehicle’s state of charge and the energy required to reach their destination. Another one of the shortcomings of Electric Vehicle technologies is the high cost of batteries. Any enhancement in such points will make Electric Vehicles a well-built competitor for IC engines. The material cost for the Zebra battery is much lower compared with lithium batteries. In addition the cycle life better than 1000 cycles in zebra battery. Supercapacitors are one of the major components which play vital role in energy storage area. It also reduces the stress to batteries. The Multiple sources are modelled and analysed by connecting the supercapacitor in parallel with ZEBRA battery. The combination shown was much cost effectives and range reassurance with addition battery maximum power demand will be reduced and also the internal power losses get minimized. The model is done by MATLAB®/Simulink® environment and the output results had been analysed for the different vehicles input parameters. The results are consolidated based on the range of vehicle and State of charge of the battery. The main objective of this paper is to develop standard operating procedure for the design, simulation and consolidated analysis of the Hybrid Electric Vehicles.

Abstract: [+]
Coconut shell is one of the sustainable alternative aggregate recent studied to use in the production of concrete and produced coconut shell concrete. Studies on coconut shell concrete properties such as mechanical, bond, durability, structural performance and plastic shrinkage were reported and made available in the literature. However, these properties were studied using conventional river sand as fine aggregate. Since now a day’s river sand is also need an alternative to save its natural resources, quarry dust, M-sand are tried by many researchers both in conventional and coconut shell concrete. Since plastic shrinkage is also one of the significant properties of concrete and on this property using quarry dust in coconut shell concrete is only limited, this study on the effects of use of quarry dust in coconut shell concrete on plastic shrinkage properties was taken. Five mix proportions P1-P5 were considered in coconut shell concrete. It was found that plastic shrinkage crack area decreases as the percentage of quarry dust increases and this investigation also gives encourages using quarry dust in place of river sand in coconut shell concrete. Since coconut shell is one of the waste from the agricultural sector, though some the industries are using this waste as an activated carbon for water purifier, as an additives in agarbathis and mosquito coils etc, if this coconut shell is used as the aggregate in the production of concrete then this waste landfill can be reduced and in turn environment could be protected.

Abstract: [+]
Stabilization of soil can be done by using natural and waste materials instead of synthetic materials for sustainable development which will reduce the impact on the environment. This research paper deals about the experimental study on the stabilization of soil using organic waste and coir fibres of varying lengths. The organic waste taken into consideration was eggshell powder. Basic properties of virgin soil like Atterberg’s limits, Unconfined compressive strength , compaction characteristics, California bearing ratio, were determined. The soil samples were treated with varying percentages of eggshell powder and the optimum percentage of eggshell powder for the stabilization soil was determined. The CBR and UCC values showed a considerable increase in strength attainment due to the presence of Calcium Oxide in the eggshell powder. The soil was then treated with an optimum percentage of eggshell powder and varying percentages of coir fibres of different lengths (L=1cm, 1.5cm). It was observed that the soil showed considerable strength improvement with the combination of eggshell powder and coir fibre than that with eggshell powder alone. The effective use of locally available materials like eggshell powder and coir fibres and their experimental combination for the improvement of soil makes the study relevant and feasible.
