 Abstract

Housing is one of the basic needs of society, the prices of which are affected even through a smallest variation in the surrounding. The variation is dependent on various factors. One of the major factor is the accessibility benefits available nearby the property, which is essential as one needs to commute almost every day for one�s own requirements. In the major cities of India, the most versatile option to commute is Metro Rail Transit System. Within the past few decades, Delhi NCR has faced rapid growth in urban development due to the improvement in road and highway systems as well as the introduction of new public transportation i.e. Metro Rail System. It has been almost 20 years till the commencement of Delhi metro but still a little research is available on its impact on real estate. So the study focuses on identifying the impact of metro rail transit system on the cost of residential properties located around the metro stretch. There are various attributes of properties located around metro stretch, which affects the cost of property either positively or negatively. So this paper focuses on to identify such attributes, rank them and then use it to create a model which can forecast the property price around a metro stretch using the selected attributes. Hedonic Regression is used to formulate three separate equations for Low Income Group, Middle Income Group and High Income Group properties, to forecast the property price around metro stretch. From the study it was concluded that the price of a property located around a metro stretch depends on various attributes which are listed and ranked in this paper. Secondly, that the metro has high impact in low income group areas and low impact in high income group areas. Further as the distance of property increases from the metro station, the value of property varies.

 Abstract

The chitosan-encapsulated Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method. The formation of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) and CS coated iron oxide nanocomposite (CS- FeO) were preliminarily confirmed by color change. The characterization of synthesized nanoparticles was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The observed bands at 500-800 cm-1 in the FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of metal-oxygen (FeO) bond whereas band at 1646 cm-1 indicated the presence of amino groups (-NH2) which confirms the CS in the prepared CS-FeO nanoparticles. SEM results demonstrated a spherical morphology. The antibacterial activity was assessed by zone of inhibition method against Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 87 and Escherichia coli 443 invitro.

 Abstract

In comparison with analog communication, digital communication provides several advantages like better quality, ease of editing, high fidelity, compression, etc. But with rapid growth of World Wide Web and advance computer network, there are some issues related to content security, privacy, and media authentication. In modern age in which data is conveyed through digital medium, the protection of data is top priority concern for any organization. Digital steganography is an advance technique in which secret data can�t be detected easily. Steganography envelopes and information to such degree that it is invisible to a spectator. In this proposed paper the focus is on increasing data security using dual steganography. In dual steganography secret message is first embedded into cover medium and then resulted stego-object will be again embedded into other cover medium. Mentioned paper also provides a computable evaluation of dual steganography in terms the reduction in the mean square error (MSE) and hence increase in peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) measure between original host files and generated stenographic files. A preliminary result shows the high imperceptibility of the proposed method as well as the hiding capacity of presented method.

 Abstract

Background: Screen time refers to the total amount of time spent viewing a screen related device (eg. mobile, television, laptop, etc.) per day. The recommended screen time is 1-2 hours for adolescents. Adolescence is a crucial phase of physical, mental, emotional and behavorial development in humans. Obesity during this time could have several long term consequences such as metabolic diseases, cardiometabolic disorders, etc. Objectives: To assess the influence of screen time, sleep patterns and dietary habits on the BMI of adolescents. BMI was used as an indicator for obesity. Study design: Experimental study. Effect of intervention was seen by comparing the pre and post-test results. Participants: 100 samples (10-15 years). Intervention: A pre-test was conducted where subjects filled a questionnaire about their diet, sleep schedule and screen usage. A nutrition education programme was then conducted. Post-intervention period of 3 months, BMI was measured again and subjects filled a similar questionnaire. Outcome: Subjects who followed the recommended guidelines by decreasing their screen time, improving their sleep timings, and inculcating healthier eating habits in their daily routine were seen to have a reduced BMI. Result: BMI during the post-test showed an 8% increment in normal weight, 1% decrease in underweight, a 5% decrease in overweight, and a 2% decrease in the obese category. Conclusion: The programme was therefore seen to be educational and beneficial for subjects. It is recommended that such programmes continue being conducted for children of all ages to improve their health and spread awareness about diseases.

 Abstract

Convalescent plasma (CP) medical care, a classic adaptive therapy, have been applied to the hindrance and treatment of many infectious diseases for over one century. Over the past 20 years, CP medical care was with success utilized in the treatment of respiratory disease, MERS, and 2009 H1N1 pandemic with satisfactory effectiveness and safety. Since the medicine and clinical characteristics share similarity among respiratory disease, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and COVID-19, CP medical care may be a promising treatment choice for COVID-19 rescue. Patients who recovered from COVID-19 with a high neutralizing protein concentration could also be a valuable donor supply of CP. However, the CP medical care was unable to considerably improve the survival within the Ebola sickness, most likely because of the absence of information of neutralizing protein volumetric analysis for stratified analysis. In US, FDA declared an emergency IND (eIND) method to permit individual physicians to treat patients with serious COVID-19 sickness with convalescent plasma collected by a blood centre. This method is the furthest on New York City, wherever many hospitals square measure getting down to utilize this eIND method. Recently, the FDA declared a partnership with the Mayo Clinic and also the American NGO to gather and distribute plasma across the country via a master protocol for patients with severe or dangerous infection. Lastly, tutorial investigators have submitted multi-centre clinical trials for FDA approval, that specialize in bar of bad people, treatment of these with gentle sickness, treatment of these with serious however not important COVID-19 sickness, or treatment of critically-ill unit patients. Similar efforts square measure current around the world. the utilization of convalescent plasma is associate degree interim approach, whereas, vaccines and effective drug therapies are developed. Recently, Kerala possesses the Indian Council of Medical analysis (ICMR) approval for the clinical protocol exploring the practicability of convalescent plasma transfusion which can be administered to severe Covid- 19 patients. This study is regarding the effectiveness of plasma medical care in treating COVID -19, challenges and opportunities of plasma medical care and viability of plasma medical care in India.

 Abstract

Onsite wastewater disposal is the common method adopted for discharging the effluents from all the residential buildings and in most small-scale commercial operations. Installation of conventional treatment systems is often not preferred in these places due to the very low quantity of wastewater generated and higher installation and operational cost of these plants. To bring back the health of the soil as well as to ensure the prevention of further deterioration of our fresh water sources, cost-effective waste load reduction method are necessary. This paper focuses on the construction of experimental setup and treatment of wastewater using sand,woven and non woven coir geotextiles.The results showed that 94.47% BOD and 96.34% COD were removed after the treatment with woven coir geotextiles.

 Abstract

The study is intended to analyze the causes and effects of the corona virus (Covid19). The world is affected by this sudden caused virus. It can be understood by explaining the verse of the Quran and the Hadiths that the plague is caused due to the disobedience of Allah on the earth and due to the spread of obscenity on earth or sins committed by human being on any part of earth. The Prophet Mohammad* (peace be up on him) has stated that, no disease can harm a person unless and until he/she commit sins. So we can say that this virus is due to the cause of disbeliefs and sin committed by human beings on the earth. The Quran and the Hadiths both are witnessed that the virus can be cured by taking some proper precautions and measures. The study is taken to find out the causes and solutions provided in the Holy Quran and in Hadiths Mohammandi. This research paper is an attempt to give new insights into the matter and can be very useful for further researchers in order to find out more objects, relevancies, causes, effects, reasons and immediate measure to the virus. The study is intended to highlight its matter of fact in the light of the Quran and Hadith.

 Abstract

As many historians have inferred, the last great war was the Second World War (known as the last �good war�). This gave literal birth to spy organizations and these organizations were created to fight an injustice. From World War II, the OSS (Operations Strategic Service) was born to combat �fire with fire�. However, it was done in a very brutal fashion to help win the war against Nazism, Fascism and the dictatorial entities of those like Tojo in the Far East. After 1945, as the world divided into the Cold War (1945 - 1991), the USSR and US went at each others� throats for decades. Then the United States President Harry S. Truman needed to create an organization to help rival the Soviet threat during those years. In essence, it was to fight communism. From this point, and after 1947 the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) was born to define and protect U.S. interests around the world. The CIA began creating wars at a global scale. All to fuel the American economy, interest and a way of life back on its soil; with the constant coup-d�etats, narcotics and power shifts worldwide. For decades dictatorships were evilly created to benefit Americanism. President John F. Kennedy did threatened to disband the CIA, it was only after his death when this spy agency began to flourish-mushroom into something Machiavellian and medieval. Today the CIA is nothing but the butt of jokes, a laughing stock and nobody can trust this organization in any way, shape or form, sadly. Signaling what has become the end of an era and for those who think: it is an evil monster which nobody can destroy. Possibly the CIA will cause its own downfall. It has been said, that it will bring the American empire down with its foreign policy. What this investigative paper intends to show how the CIA has done more harm than good in global affairs.

 Abstract

This project is creating a smart way for preventing drunken driver from accessing their vehicle and hence by preventing a disaster from its starting point. This system is indeed a smart vehicle parking system with every feature including smart parking based on priority, time base etc and all the security feature with fool proof accessing using RF id card assigned to use the parking system. All data�s are logged in to a central memory system and also using cloud computing to process these data. The difference from other parking system is that it has some advanced features like voice interactive system to operate and screening the vehicle owners for alcohol test before they access their vehicle and verifies them if they are safe for driving their vehicle. Else the system will offer them choices like hiring a driver for their vehicle or rent a cab to reach their destination, or providing them to a customer care support to assist their further needs. If the user is too tired or drunken the system will detect it using its pre-programmed conditions and will call for floor security for further help and medical assistance. That is not all, the system itself have a large database and computing power to find out consecutive law breaking alcohol addicted drivers and it will send their data to de-addiction centres and make them red flagged unless they complete their treatment and come as a new law abiding citizen
