Soil Microbial Biomass and Microbial Quotient under Different Plantations at Maldeota, Dehradun, India
Abstract: Microbial properties have been reported to be useful indicators of soil quality and could serve as assessment criteria for the successful rehabilitation of ecologically disturbed areas. The microbial quotient – ratio of soil microbial biomass C to soil organic C – may, therefore, be a more sensitive parameter to monitor organic matter dynamics than either microbial biomass C or soil organic C considered alone. The study site is located at …

Effect of the Position of Geotextiles on the Strength Characteristics of Subgrade Soil in Bituminous Pavements
Abstract: In the past 20 years, many new road improvement techniques have revolved around the use of geosynthetics. Geosynthetics may be used in those areas where the soil remains saturated part of the year or over clay and moist silty weak subgrade soils. The quality and life of pavement is greatly affected by the type of subgrade, subbase and base course materials. Subgrade soil is the bottom most layer of the …

A Review of Smart Sensor-based Approaches for LPG Gas Leak Detection and Prevention
Abstract: In recent years, home fires have claimed a growing number of lives and pieces of property. Since it is very flammable, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can burn even some distance away from the spill. Poor-quality rubber tubes or instances in which the regulator is not turned off are to blame for most fire incidents. Due to the regulator's malfunction, the hob is currently receiving gas from the regulator. Gas leaks …
