Design and Performance Considerations for Buildings in Coastal and Offshore Environments
Abstract: Buildings near coastal and offshore regions are exposed to extreme wind and seismic forces that govern structural design. In this study, a simplified assessment of wind and earthquake loads acting on a multistorey coastal building is presented. A wind velocity of 400 km/hr. is considered to represent severe cyclonic conditions. Using a unit weight of air of 12 N/m³, the cumulative wind thrust acting over a building height of 40 …

Challenges and Opportunities in Urban Waste and Water Management in Assam: A Guwahati Perspective
Abstract: Water and waste management problems are becoming more urgent in rapidly urbanizing areas like Guwahati, Assam. Current household practices, public awareness, and infrastructure support that either facilitate or impede waste and water management were evaluated in this case study. A structured online survey was used to gather data from fifty-five respondents in Guwahati, primarily urban youth, using a mixed-methods technique. Although low levels of waste generation were reported, the results …

Integrated Surface Water–Groundwater Dynamics: Implications for Pollution Pathways, Prevention, and Environmental Control
Abstract: Water resources worldwide are increasingly threatened by pollution pressures amplified by climate change and intensified human activities. The vulnerability of surface water and groundwater systems to contamination is strongly governed by their dynamic hydrologic connectivity, which is often overlooked in pollution prevention and control frameworks. Rising global temperatures, altered precipitation regimes, land-use change, and intensified abstraction patterns modify recharge processes, flow paths, and contaminant transport mechanisms across environmental landscapes. This …

Image-Based Quantitative Mapping of Structure Property Relationships in Polymer Composite Materials
Abstract: The performance of polymer composite materials is intrinsically governed by their microstructural architecture, which is shaped by manufacturing conditions and constituent interactions. Despite extensive experimental characterization efforts, establishing transparent and quantitative structure–property relationships from microstructural images remains a challenge. In this study, an explainable image-driven framework is developed to systematically correlate microstructural features with composite property indicators. Microstructure images are processed to identify voids, fibers, and filler phases, from which …

A Review on Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Analyzing Deforestation and Illegal Logging Using Satellite Imagery
Abstract: Deforestation and illegal logging remain critical environmental threats, driving biodiversity loss, climate change, and socio-economic disruption. Conventional monitoring techniques frequently do not yield real-time, large-scale insights. Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially in deep learning and computer vision, have revolutionized the ability to analyze high-resolution satellite images for detecting deforestation and monitoring illegal logging. This review synthesizes recent developments in AI-driven approaches, highlighting convolutional neural networks (CNNs), anomaly detection …

Ayurvedic Management of Aplastic Anemia (Tridoshaj Pandu)
Abstract: Aplastic anaemia (AA) was first described by Ehrlich in 1888. It is characterized by peripheral blood pancytopenia. In the management of severe aplastic anaemia, general measures and supportive care as well as therapy with corticosteroids, anabolic steroids, immune suppressive and lithium have so far failed to prolong the survival in severe aplastic anaemia. A 22-year-old female patient came to government ayurved hospital for further treatment of hyperplastic marrow. She was …
