Stability and Analysis of Retaining Wall of Bank Areas of the Ganga River
Abstract: Retaining walls are used from historic times to prevent the outflow of river and create havoc in the cities. The most important function of a retaining wall is to prevent entering the water in cities by giving higher length than the flood level and different styles of wall are used to secure town from high water level. Finite element technique is used to numerically model the wall and predict its …

Strategies to Minimize Heat Stress in Broiler and Layer Chickens
Abstract: Heat stress is one of the most important thermal environmental factors challenging broiler and layer production throughout world. Negative effects of heat stress on broilers and layer production range from reduced growth and egg production to reduced egg quality. Heat stress is more in chickens with high production performance and more feed conversion efficiency. Prolonged exposure to hot weather will lead to imbalance of acid-base equilibrium in body, decreases blood …
