Bearing Capacity of Double Box Shaped Skirted Footings on Sand
Abstract: The double-box-shaped footing with and without skirt and sand-resting pressure settlement behavior was discussed in this paper. Different parameters are normalised skirt depth (0.25 to 1.5), relative sand density (30 to 60 percent) and sand footing interface state (partially rough and rough). Results of this study showed that a general and local shear failure was observed at a relative density of 50 percent and 60 percent, and 30 percent and …

ENHANCED TECHNIQUE FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING PROCEDURE IN FRACTURED ROCK MASS
Abstract: Notwithstanding the broad hypothetical work about hydraulic fracturing technique for estimation of stresses in rock mass, the experimental work has so far been restricted, particularly on account of its legitimacy in fractured rocks. Much work has been completed about the induced fractures created by hydraulic fracturing tests, however not on the impact of previously existing fractures and joints and their impact. When a fracture has been originated at the borehole …

Distancing From Statistical Hazards: A Pursuit Drivers Herald
Abstract: When the passive drivers meet with accidents, it seems painful. When miscreant drivers cause accidents one feels annoyed, and curses the nasty driver and also the system. Statistics promises help in at least one way- i.e. keeping the safe distance between the two vehicles. Statistically speaking, frequency/ probability of happening of accidents is inversely proportional to the distance. The distance forms a bell shape in normal stopping situations on the …

Compressive Strength of SCC Increased by Use of HD-Glass Fiber and Glass Fiber
Abstract: Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that has been specifically designed for use in situations where access from below is impossible. It is able to flow when the weight of its own body is applied. When encountering extensive reinforcement and intricate structural designs, it may be utilised. Segregation and bleeding issues are ignored, and compaction does not require vibration. Concrete has a strong compression strength and a weak tension strength. …

Guidelines for Withdrawal of Anti-Epileptic Drugs in Seizure-Free Patients
Abstract: The ultimate goal of epilepsy treatment is to become seizure free and live a healthy life without the need to take antiepileptic drugs may cause several tricky and sometimes serious side-effects. There is no class I evidence that is based on randomized double-blind trials for withdrawal of antiepileptics in adults who become seizure-free while taking such drugs. Whether or not antiepileptic drugs should be withdrawn after a patient has been …

Effect of Nutritional Counselling on Risk Level of Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) of Middle-aged Non-insulin Dependent Diabetics
Abstract: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a prolonged period of time. As the average amount of plasma glucose increases, the fraction of glycosylated hemoglobin increases in a predictable way. This serves as a marker for average blood glucose levels over the previous months prior to the measurement. Present study was conducted on diabetic patients who were …

Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) in Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is the most alarming problem of the current time. Nitric oxide, a free radical gas is synthesized by isoenzymes called nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide synthase consists of three isoforms; Nitric oxide produced is cytotoxic which is known to inhibit the DNA synthesis causing its damage. Keeping this in mind, nitric oxide synthase was determined in breast cancer and normal breast tissue. For this tissue from 60 breast …

Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase Activities in Brain and Plasma of Several Species of Birds in India
Abstract: Since timely acquisition of concurrent controls is not always feasible, development of a reference data of normal cholinesterase (ChE) activities for various wildlife species particularly for birds is necessary to diagnose anticholinesterase exposure. In the present study, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activities in brain and plasma of several species of birds collected from Ahmedabad, India, during 2005–2007, were determined. Brain AChE activity ranged from 1.24 µmole/min/g in Indian white-backed …
