Sizing of a revolving crane for cargo handling up to 5000 N

This study aimed to design a revolving crane, to be deployed in the cutting industry and folds into a manufacturer of road equipment. The implementation of the project aims to increase productivity, significantly reducing the existing idle capacity in this sector, due to waiting for the use of the crane, when there is the need for handling heavy parts. For the development of crane design, all significant requests, scaling all the structural part and the elements necessary for the construction machines were used.

Strength properties of fibre and hybrid fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete made with low calcium flyash

This paper presents an experimental study on the strength properties of plain geopolymer concrete, fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete and hybrid fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete made with low calcium flyash. The strength parameters considered in this study are compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. The polypropylene fibre incorporation in 8M alkali activated geopolymer was performed by 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% of total volume of concrete.

The role of institutional digital repositories to develop scholarly communication

In this electronic publishing age, academic institutions including universities have increasingly recognized that an institutional digital repository is an essential infrastructure of scholarly dissemination. An IR is a digital research archive consisting of accessible collections of scholarly work that represent the intellectual capital of an institution. Digital repositories are widely used as a mechanism for making scholarly works freely accessible on the web.

Statistical approach of the physicalchemical investigation of chitosan/collagen biomatrix crosslinked with gradient of genipin for tissue engineering

Introduction: More than 60 million people in the United States have had an increase in their life expectancy in recent years because of artificial tissue and organ therapy, with every five people over 65 years old. In Brazil, this figure was higher. Thus, tissue engineering contemplates numerous advantages that meet the needs of the injured tissue or organ for the regeneration process. Objective: to investigate the physicochemical properties of chitosan/collagen cross linked with a gradient of genipin for tissue engineering.

Wildlife in the line of transportation roadway in three conservation area at West Sumatra, Indonesia

Wildlife research in transportation lines in three protected areas at West Sumatra was done from January to March 2016. The study was conducted at three conservation areas at West Sumatra i.e. Ladang Padi, Lembah Anai and Rimbo Panti. The method used is a survey research and observation. The wildlife found in this study consisted of two classes (Reptiles and Mammals), six species: Macaca fascicularis, Tupaia montana (Mammals), Naja sumatrana, Coelognathus flavolineathus, Dendrelaphis pictus and Bronchocela cristatella (Reptile).

Isolation and selection for edible mushroom production by liquid fermentation as laccase bioleaching sago starch

Production sago starch from Indonesia reached 585,000 tons in 2015 has become the largest in the world. However sago starch has a weakness that is brownish color, unpleasant smells and soft texture. The weaknes can be overcome by adding laccase in the bleaching process. The purpose of this study is production of laccase from edible mushroom from market in liquid fermentation. Materials used are Plurotusostreatus mushroom, Agaricusbisporus and Rhyzopusoligosporus obtained from the market.

A geographic information system (gis) based land suitability analysis and characterization for industrial siting in abakaliki area, Southeastern Nigeria

The Implication of appropriate site for industrial use is critical to environmental health. Determination of factors such as population, geospatial characterisation including climate are the baseline statistics needed to generate thematic map layers. Assessment of terrain provides information for optimum spatial utilization in line with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Geostastical data acquired from investigation were imported into appropriate software’s such as Rockworks 16, Microsoft excel, Global mapper and Arc-GIS.

Concept of kaumarbhritya in sushruta samhita

Kaumarbhritya is one of the branch of Ashtang Ayurveda which deals with care of the infants, children; their diseases and management.
