A Novel Approach to Ceiling Fan-Based System for Preventing Suicide by Hanging
Abstract: Suicide by hanging has become a significant public health issue in India. According to reports from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), a considerable number of hanging cases are reported annually, with the majority being suicidal in nature. Homicidal cases disguised as hanging are extremely rare. Accurate differentiation between suicidal and homicidal hanging requires thorough examination of the crime scene in an undisturbed condition, followed by a detailed autopsy investigation. …

Suspension System with Combined Leaf and Helical Spring: A Review
Abstract: A good suspension system of any automobile vehicle must have minimum deflection, minimum weight, low maintenance and low operating cost with some other fine properties. Springs are major element of any suspension system and first line of its defense. If the suspension springs are rigid enough, they will not absorb road shocks efficiently, and if they are more flexible, then they will keep vibrating for a longer time even after …

Impact of Storage Methods and Duration on Sugar and Starch Content and Ethanol Yield of Sweet Potatoes [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that ‘industrial’ sweet potatoes can be an excellent feedstock for ethanol production as compared to corn, sorghum and other potential feedstocks. However, starch content can be affected by cultivars as well as storage conditions. Ideally, it is practical that sweet potato storage roots be processed for ethanol production as close to harvest as possible, but this may not always be the case and some amount of …

A methodology for the determination of bearing capacity of granular soils with plate loading tests
Abstract: In granular soils, due to the inability to collect undisturbed samples of soil for geotechnical laboratory tests or the impracticality of carrying out dynamic penetration tests, highlights the necessity to find a useful approach in the engineering geological practice for the determination of bearing capacity. In these soils the determination of bearing capacity can be evaluated with several formula that necessary require the estimation of the friction angle: this leads …

Effect of Improvement of Collapsible Soils with Bitumen Emulsions on Collapsibility Rate for Varying Degrees of Saturation
Abstract: Collapsible soils are one of many problematic soils in Iraq. Many foundation failure problems that occurred in Iraq are associated with percolation of water; the change in the degree of saturation can affect the stability of these soils and may encounter large volumetric change. A series of tests conducted on collapsible soil using oedometer apparatus and the settlement–time curves are determined accurately, then each test is determined to a different …

SYMMETRY AND ASYMMETRY MODEL FOR THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY IN POROUS MEDIA
Abstract: This paper focuses on determining thermal conductivity in porous media using symmetry and asymmetry models. Since porous media are not uniform and homogeneous in most of the cases, anisotropy must be taken into account, what derives in the application of an asymmetry model as thermal gradients are not equal in all directions. The paper demonstrates that, under certain conditions, isotropic conditions, therefore, symmetry model can be applied to non-homogeneous or …

Reliability Analysis of a Semi-gravity Retaining Wall Designed to Eurocode 7
Abstract: This research investigated the structural integrity of a semi-gravity retaining wall when subjected to potential sliding and overturning failures, while adhering to the guidelines outlined in Eurocode 7. It is widely acknowledged that the factor of safety alone is insufficient for risk assessment, and previous research has demonstrated the challenges in identifying how much safer a retaining wall becomes as the factor of safety increases. The dependability index, the element …

Weldability of Ferritic Stainless Steel
Abstract: The ferritic stainless steels are generally considered less weldable than austenitic stainless steels. In case of welding of first-generation ferritic stainless steels, rapid grain growth of ferrite takes place in both the fusion zone and heat-affected zone. These coarse grains have very low ductility and toughness. Excessive grain growth can be avoided by using lower welding heat input and or certain types of additives. They are lower in cost and …
