Avalanche Hazard Mapping along Manali-patsio Road Axis (Himachal Pradesh, India) Using Advanced Geo-Informatics Techniques
Abstract: Avalanche occurrence is quite a hazardous and unpredictable natural phenomenon. A large number of factors that are associated with its occurrence make it quite difficult to assess hazard in hilly areas. There are two main groups of variables that define the avalanche hazard – meteorological conditions and terrain characteristics. Due to the stable nature along the time, terrain parameters are easier to map. The purpose of this work is to …

Comparative Pharmacognostical Studies on Genuine, Commercial and Adulterant Samples of Centella Asiatica (L.) Urban
Abstract: The adulteration and substitution of herbal drugs is the burning problem in herbal industry. Adulteration becomes a very serious problem with crude drugs, and often occurs when a drug is not easily available or when its price is comparatively high. Adulteration, in many cases, may not be intentional. In many cases, it could occur due to mistaken identity of the plant. In the present study, comparative pharmacognostical studies have been …

A Review about the Cancer of the Uterine Cervix
Abstract: Cervical cancer is the neoplasm of the uterine cervix cells. Incidences of cervical cancer are increasing in the current scenario. Most of the cervical cancers are of carcinoma type and there are also rare cases of non-carcinoma cancers. Human papilloma virus infection is considered to be the major cause for the disease, which occurs because of improper sanitation and riskier sexual habits. The disease condition is mostly by passed without …

TORCH Profile: A Convenient Method for Screening Infection in Pregnancy by ELISA: A Review
Abstract: TORCH is a medical acronym for a set of perinatal infections: toxoplasmosis, other (syphilis), rubella (German measles), cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV-1, 2). They are a group of viral, bacterial and protozoan infections that gain access to the fetal bloodstream transplacentally via the chorionic villi or hematogenous transmission any time during gestation or occasionally at the time of delivery via maternal-to-fetal transfusion. TORCH infections may result in abortion, still …

Design and Analysis of MEMS based Piezoelectric Accelerometer Having Square Shaped Proof Mass
Abstract: In any spacecraft launching program, the most prominent issue is to locate the spacecraft or satellite, in particular orbit of any particular planet. Now, while making the position of that spacecraft in space, abrupt changes in velocity occur and these velocity changes can break the controlling circuitry of the system since the velocity changes occur at very high environmental pressure. The designed device converts the deflections due to mentioned pressure …

Wear Characterization of Al/B4C/CNT Composites for Different Alloying Composition
Abstract: Wear is a surface phenomenon that occurs predominantly at the surface of the material. It is majorly due to the rubbing action between two surfaces that is attributed to solid state contact. As wear is a material removal phenomena occurring at the outer surfaces, it is indeed very apt to develop materials that have wear resistant characteristics. Henceforth in the current work, it is therefore judicially justified to develop a …
