Fiber can be defined as a small piece of reinforcing material possessing certain dimensional characteristics. The properties of fiber reinforced concrete are very much affected by the type of fiber. The properties of fiber reinforced concrete are very much affected by the type of fiber. Fibers are secondary reinforced material and acts as crack arrester. Prevention of propagation of cracks originating from internal flaws can result in improvements in static and dynamic properties of matrix. Fiber reinforced cement and concrete materials (FRC) have been developed progressively since the early work by Romualdi and Batson in the 1960s. By the 1990s, a wide range of fiber composites and FRC products were commercially available and novel manufacturing techniques were developed for use with high fiber content. In parallel with the commercial development of FRC materials and products, an extensive research programme was undertaken to quantify the enhanced properties of FRC materials and more specifically to allow comparisons to be made between various types of fibers. Fiber reinforced concrete is one among those advancements which offers a convenient, practical and economical method for overcoming micro cracks and similar type of deficiencies. Since concrete is weak in tension hence some measures must be adopted to overcome this deficiency. Human hair is generally strong in tension; hence it can be used as a fiber reinforcement material. Human hair Fiber is an alternative non-degradable matter available in abundance and at cheap cost. It also reduces environmental problems. Also addition of human hair fibers enhances the binding properties, micro cracking control, Imparts ductility and also increases swelling resistance. The experimental findings in our studies would encourage future research in the direction for long term performance to extending this cost of effective type of fibers for use in structural applications. Experiments were conducted on concrete cubes, cubes and beams of standard sizes with addition of various percentages of human hair fiber and nylon fiber. Experiments were conducted on concrete cubes, cubes and beams of standard sizes with addition of various percentages of human hair fiber and nylon fiber i.e., 0%, 0.7%, and 1.4% by weight of cement, fine & coarse aggregate and results were compared with those of plain cement concrete of M-30 grade. For each percentage of human hair and nylon fiber are added separately in concrete, cubes and beams were tested for their respective mechanical properties at curing periods of 7 and 28 days. slump cone test were undertaken as well as hardened concrete test is compressive strength and Flexural Strength at the age of 7 and 28 days was obtained.

A study was conducted to evaluate the rate of haemostatic indices and wound healing activity of aqueous (AIAE), ethanol (AIEE), petroleum ether (AIPE) and benzene extracts (AIBE) of Azadirachta indica leaves in adult Wister albino rats by topical route of administration. Among seven groups of rats, one group had no wound on their skins (Group I) and remaining of six groups were experimentally wounded in the nape of the dorsal neck. A thin layer of blank placebo was applied topically to the wounds of control rats (Group II). Wounds of experimental animals [(AIAE, Groups IV), (AIEE, Groups V), (AIPE, Groups VI) and (AIBE, Groups VI)] were treated with placebo containing 10% A.indica leaves extracts, respectively. A thin layer of standard Povidone Iodine ointment was applied topically to wounds of Group III animals as reference. The haemostatic analysis showed that the decrease was significant in the different extracts preparations groups but not significant in Groups II and III when compared independently with the control group I. Macroscopically, wounds treated with placebo containing different extracts or Povidone Iodine ointment have been significantly accelerated the rate of wound healing compared to placebo-treated wounds. Histological analysis of healed wounds has confirmed this effect. Wounds treated with placebo containing different extracts or Povidone Iodine ointment showed markedly less scar width at wound enclosure and granulating tissue contained markedly more collagen and proliferating fibroblasts, but with the absence of inflammatory cells compared to wounds treated with blank placebo. In conclusion, the significant effect on haemostatic indices and increased rate of wound healing together with the histological findings in the extracts treated animals supports the claims made by traditional healers of the benefits obtained from the medicinal use of A.indica.

Construction planning and execution is a fundamental and challenging activity in the management of construction projects. It involves the choice of technology, the definition of work tasks, the estimation of the required resources and durations for individual tasks, and the identification of any interactions among the different work tasks. A good construction plan is the basis for developing the budget and the schedule for work. Developing the construction plan is a critical task in the management of construction, even if the plan is not written or otherwise formally recorded. In addition to these technical aspects of construction planning, it may also be necessary to make organizational decisions about the relationships between project participants and even which organizations to include in a project. The extent to which subcontractors will be used on a project is often determined during construction planning. Construction time performance (CTP) and flexibility in approaches to project time planning have been shown to be significantly associated. This raises interesting questions about how effective planning and control to facilitate flexibility in overcoming unexpected problems may be achieved. Various tools and techniques such as Gantt chart, activity diagram and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) have aided the road construction projects in an effective manner.

Many industrial processes produce harmful and poisonous gases and vapors which can burn when mixed with air, sometimes violently. Gas detectors can make a valuable contribution to the safety of these processes. They can be used to trigger alarms if a specified concentration of the gas or vapor is exceeded. This can provide an early warning of a problem and help to ensure people’s safety. However, a detector does not prevent leaks occurring or indicate what action should be taken. It is not a substitute for safe working practices and maintenance. Dusty, corrosive or damp environment will affect the frequency of inspection, maintenance and calibration. This paper presents the role of IoT and embedded technologies to design and development of centralized real time continuous monitoring and alarming system. This system used for detection and measurement of harmful and poisonous gas and for higher level communication and transmission and have been effectively implemented in the Steel Manufacturing scenario in applications which have added value to the Bottom and Top Line of the company.

Outliers are data which can be considered anomalous due to several causes (e.g. erroneous measurements or anomalous process conditions). Outlier detection techniques are used, for instance, to minimize the influence of outliers in the final model to develop, or as a preliminary pre-processing stage before the information conveyed by a signal is elaborated. The traditional outlier detection methods can be classified into four main approaches: distance-based, density-based, clustering- based and distribution-based. In the proposed approach is based on two partition based clustering methods K-Mean and PAM. K Mean method is based on mean values of the object belongs in the cluster. K- mean find the distance of each objects from the mean objects and the object which has minimum distance from the mean object are keep in the cluster otherwise the object are swapped into the cluster whose mean has minimum distance. Some time when outliers are present in the data set we consider these outliers in any one of the cluster. These outliers are affecting the mean value of the clusters. Because of these outliers which are basically not belongs to any of the clusters we have to consider in then ion K-mean. But in case of PAM we choose the objects as the medoid as a cluster center, so when we calculate the distance of other objects with this center objects ,the outliers are easily identified.
