Seasonal Variation in Air Quality Index across Rural and Urban Bihar: A Comparative Study of Gaya City and Kusdihra Village
Abstract: Air Quality Index (AQI) is a composite indicator used to communicate ambient air-quality conditions and their potential health implications. This study examines spatial and seasonal variation in AQI between Gaya city and Kusdihra village, representing urban and rural settings in Gaya district, Bihar. Secondary AQI observations were obtained from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) National Air Quality Index portal at eight fixed time-slots per day during two 20-day observation …

Seasonal Analysis of Urban Heat Island of Greater Hyderabad Using Thermal Remote Sensing
Abstract: Urban areas are characterized by densely built-up area. Due to urbanization and consequent urban growth, green spaces, water bodies and other land use changes are resulting in several environmental issues and concerns. One such urban environmental issue is the emergence of Urban Heat Island. An Urban Heat Island (UHI) is the characteristics of elevated temperaturere of both atmosphere and land surface in urban areas as compared with the un-urbanized surrounding …

A Synthesized Effect of Urban Modification and Net Radiation on the Climate of Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria
Abstract: Land cover adjustment which includes urban landscaping, agriculture crops or hardscapes forconstructing and parking lots promote variations in the energy and radiation balance. Due tothe above listed modifications, the surface temperatures and near-surface air temperatures overurban patches are generally higher than those over rural areas, thus resulting in an Urban HeatIsland (UHI). In this study, urban landscape and Land Surface Temperature (LST), netradiation, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data …

Analysis of Composite Behavior of Masonry Wall and Supporting Beam
Abstract: Composite behavior of brick masonry wall and supporting beam is outlined through this topic. Masonry in filled reinforced concrete construction is most common in urban and rural areas. The composite behavior of masonry and the supporting beam is neglected in the modern structural design. In the present study, finite element analysis is used for analysis of composite action of wall and supporting beam. Materials are modeled using Macro modeling. The …

Water Quality Analysis using Arduino
Abstract: There is a dire need of effective water quality control system in the residential areas and the demand is very high due to urbanization, wide scale pollution and population growth. Scarcity of safe drinking water poses a great challenge to development. Necessary and immediate steps have to be taken to overcome it. At the very first, we have to assess water parameters like temperature pH, turbidity, conductivity etc., as the …
