    Abstract: The western part of the country India is surrounded by Thar desert. Due to climate change, many regions in the world are facing different challenges. The objective of the study was to quantify the aeolian sand-affected land through integrated approach. The LANDSAT-ETM+ satellite image of 2009 has been used to distinguish recently affected areas by aeolian sand. A combined approach of digital classification backed with visual interpretation and ground verification was adopted. In addition to classification accuracy assessment was performed using field observations. Evidence based results of aeolian sand-affected areas have suggested that wasteland area has increased up to 4,427.55 ha (6.79%) of total geographical area. Two types of aeolian sands areas have been detected, namely, moderately affected (3,881.77 ha) and severely affected (545.79 ha). Moderately and severely affected aeolian soil lands have been more accurately mapped with reasonably good accuracy whereas smaller aeolian affected areas within croplands are mapped with low accuracy. The present study provides easy methodology for delineation, classification, and characterization of aeolian affected sands.

    Abstract: Different biodegradable waste may indeed be processed by biodigesters to generate biogas, a clean and sustainable source of energy. Different digesters are classified according to their digestive process, which is either aerobic or anaerobic. The rate at which organic waste is loaded, the temperature, the amount of dilution, etc., all affect the size of the digesters. A biodigester typically needs a relatively steady atmosphere as well as ongoing agitation. Additionally, it necessitates a large land area. Although it has numerous advantages, the nature of the feedstock is the main factor on which the potential of biogas production depends, as well as the design of the reactor and operational parameters. Though many authors attempted to establish the effect of various factors on the process of biodigestion of food waste, very few studies on reactor design to achieve maximum biogas production were reported. The current study focuses on the use of a reactor with multiple stages that requires a smaller footprint to increase the rate of gas production from solid substrates. In the study, an experiment was attempted to determine the effect of substrate composition, food waste size, and multiple stages inside the reactor on biogas production. It has been found from the results that agricultural and environmental sustainability associated with livestock waste can reduce pollution risk considerably through biodigestion. It has also been found that stages inside the reactor do have an effect on gas production, which has been increased by up to 30%.

    Abstract: A6061/10% SiC composite has been fabricated by mechanical stir casting process. Fabricated composite has also been characterized through optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray techniques (EDX), and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The composite has been experimentally investigated for its machinability using Z -axis numerically controlled (ZNC) electrodischarge machining (EDM) process. The effects of the four process parameters, namely, current, gap voltage, pulse-on time, and pulse-off time are investigated on material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), and surface roughness (SR) by varying one parameter at a time approach. Optical microscopy and SEM analysis revealed the uniform distribution of SiC particles in aluminum matrix phase. XRD investigation corroborated the elemental composition of 6061 Al alloy and reinforcement particles. Thermal analysis shows stability of composite upto 650°C. The machinability characteristics, namely, MRR, TWR, and SR have been interpreted using graphical representations. The study indicates that all the machining parameters affect the machining performance of A6061/10% SiC composite. Optimum machining performance has been realized at the lower setting of current and pulse-on time and the optimum setting of pulse-off time and gap voltage.

    In: BioMed Research International, Hindawi Limited, Vol. 2014 ( 2014), p. 1-8
    Abstract: Background . Cholecystokinin type A receptor (CCKAR) is known to be overexpressed in variety of human malignancies but information regarding its expression in gallbladder cancer (GBC) is limited. Attempts were now made to investigate expression pattern of CCKAR mRNA and protein in controls and GBC patients and correlate it with various clinicopathological parameters following surgical resection. Materials and Methods . Gallbladder tissue samples from 64 subjects (GBC: 39; control: 25) were studied. Expression of CCKAR mRNA was evaluated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and confirmed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression was studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results . Significantly higher expression of CCKAR mRNA ( P 〈 0.0001 ) and protein ( P 〈 0.0001 ) was observed in GBC tissues. Overexpression was also observed for stage III and in moderately and poorly differentiated tumors. When the clinicopathological parameters were compared, we found age dependent decrease in CCKAR expression. Relatively higher expression of CCKAR was observed in younger patients (age 〈 45 years) having more aggressive disease when compared with elderly ones (age ≥ 45 years). Conclusions . Age related differential expression of CCKAR in GBC may suggest two possible variants of the disease in this endemic belt.

    Abstract: Corrosion of steel bars embedded in reinforced concrete (RC) structures reduces the service life and durability of structures causing early failure of structure, which costs significantly for inspection and maintenance of deteriorating structures. Hence, monitoring of reinforcement corrosion is of significant importance for preventing premature failure of structures. This paper attempts to present the importance of monitoring reinforcement corrosion and describes the different methods for evaluating the corrosion state of RC structures, especially hal-cell potential (HCP) method. This paper also presents few techniques to protect concrete from corrosion.

    Abstract: Testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS) is a gradual age-related phenomenon that occurs in a large proportion of the aging male population. This current prospective study was done with the objective to estimate the prevalence of age-associated TDS in India and its clinical profile. A total of 800 male patients aged ≥40 year were approached to participate in the study. A brief history and focused examination was done. Based on our exclusion criteria, 55 patients were excluded. Androgen deficiency in aging male (ADAM) questionnaire was administered to all remaining 745 patients. Out of these 745 patients, ADAM-positive (symptomatic TDS) patients were found to be 359 and enrolled in the study. In all ADAM-positive patients, serum testosterone levels were measured. Prevalence of symptomatic TDS in study population was found to be 48.18%. Mean total and free testosterone level of symptomatic TDS population were 3.287 ± 1.494 ng/ml (1.12–9.61) and 7.476 ± 2.902 pg/ml (2.18–21.76), respectively. Prevalence of biochemically confirmed TDS among symptomatic TDS population was 60.17%. Prevalence of TDS increases progressively with each decade of life ( p = 0.034 ). Prevalence was higher in patients with diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. TDS is a real phenomenon with a prevalence of 28.99% in our study population.

    Abstract: The present study deals with one of such investigations, which focuses on optimization of the different machining parameters of WEDM for AISI 52100 grade steel. For this work, a standard design of experimentation (DOE) based on Taguchi L27 orthogonal array (OA) has been used by selecting 6 different input parameters of the WEDM for optimization of two output characteristics (surface roughness (Ra) and dimensional deviation (DD). The results suggest that Pulse on Time (Ton): 1µs, Pulse off time: 18µs; Wire Feed (WF): 12mm/min, Spark Gap Set Voltage (SV): 20V, Wire Tension (WT): 1650, and Servo Feed (SF): 8units) are the best condition for the machining AISI 52100 grade steel as the roughness value (Roughness value: 1.02Ra) and dimensional deviation (Dimensional deviation: 0.02) obtained for these settings came to be least. From the result analysis of the current study, the pulse on time (Ton) was ranked at 1st, spark gap voltage came to be as 2nd rank parameter and pulse off (Toff) time was ranked 3rd, and wire tension was ranked at 4th position which significantly contributed towards the wire-EDM machining of AISI 52100 grade steel. Morphological analysis such as semi electron microscopic (SEM) analysis and 3D surface rendering also supported the observed surface and dimensional behaviour.
