The water quality of Rawal watershed has been highly deteriorated because of increased concentration of organic nitrogen and phosphorous coming from non-point sources causing eutrophication. The main objective of this study was to use a watershed scale model SWAT (Soil & Water Assessment Tool) as a modeling tool for predicting the impact of the Land Use change on water quality of Rawal Lake. Specific objectives were to (a)develop pollution source inventory mapping(b) quantify the pollutant load (organic nitrogen and phosphorus) with respect to Land Use change that causes eutrophication and (c) model the alternative Best Management Practices (BMP’s) and evaluate their effectiveness. In the pre field phase the collection and preprocessing of data (DEM & Landsat images (30m resolution)) was done. Land Use (2001 & 2010) classification was done using Landsat imagery in ArcGIS. For the pollution source inventory, mapping the study area was surveyed. In the post field phase the model was calibrated (2002-2006) by using the observed and simulated surface runoff data and then validated (2007-2010) .The, model’s accuracy was further verified by using R2 and Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE). SWAT simulations resulted in 392.40 % and 391.72 % increase in the quantity of organic nitrogen and phosphorus with respect to Land Use change (2001 & 2010). By the application of BMP’s such as filter strips, the average reduction in the concentration of N could be 75.155% while that of P could be 96.93%, similarly by the application of terracing the average reduction in the concentration of N could be 52.73% while that of P could be 94.18% in the selected sub basins. By the application of contouring the average reduction of 35.64% for N and 92.09% for P could be achieved. This study would provide decision maker a source of information on most feasible and cost effective BMP’s.
由于非点源的有机氮和磷浓度增加,导致富营养化,拉瓦尔流域水质严重恶化。本研究的主要目的是利用流域尺度模型SWAT (Soil & Water Assessment Tool)作为模型工具,预测土地利用变化对拉瓦尔湖水质的影响。具体目标是:(a)制定污染源清单地图;(b)量化导致富营养化的土地利用变化的污染物负荷(有机氮和磷);(c)模拟备选最佳管理做法(BMP)并评估其有效性。在野外前期,对数据(DEM和Landsat图像(30m分辨率))进行了采集和预处理。土地利用(2001年和2010年)分类使用ArcGIS中的Landsat图像完成。在污染源清查方面,对研究区域进行了测绘。在后野外阶段,利用观测和模拟的地表径流数据对模型进行了校正(2002-2006年),然后对模型进行了验证(2007-2010年),并利用R2和Nash Sutcliffe效率(NSE)进一步验证了模型的准确性。SWAT模拟结果显示,相对于土地利用变化,有机氮和磷的数量分别增加了392.40%和391.72%(2001年和2010年)。在选择的子盆地中,采用过滤带等BMP处理,氮的平均降幅为75.155%,磷的平均降幅为96.93%;采用梯田处理,氮的平均降幅为52.73%,磷的平均降幅为94.18%。采用等高线处理,氮素平均降低35.64%,磷平均降低92.09%。这项研究将为决策者提供最可行和最具成本效益的BMP的信息来源。

The objective of this project is design and implementation of a health monitoring system using pulse oximeter which measures pulse rate and oxygen level. Before and especially during Covid-19 pandemic pulse oximeter is most necessary in intensive care units (ICU) and in operation rooms but there is a general shortage of such equipment and the one that is available is very expensive. In this project we aim to create an affordable device that allows a person to measure their physiological parameters and provide breathing support so that it may be used in homes and in medical facilities. This device is controlled by programmable microcontroller with some peripherals and sensor. First, the device was built in breadboard afterward it was built on vero board. This device is based on the variation of photon. This device measures pulse rate, body temperature and oxygen level with oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in blood. This device allows a patient to monitor their health at home which is especially useful for Covid patients observing self-isolation and it can be easily set up in remote areas and can be operated on battery. It is an affordable method of allowing people to monitor their health and avoid frequent visits to hospitals and clinics. The device contains a bag valve mask (BVM) that is compressed using a motor to allow for breathing supports for patients in critical condition. 'Drought,' 'After Drought,' and 'No Drought.' DenseNet, ResNet, InceptionV3, Xception, and VGG19 deep learning architectures were utilized for training the models. Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score, and ROC curves were used to evaluate all models. According to the experimental results, DenseNet and ResNet were the best-performing models with an accuracy of 70%, while VGG19 was the lowest-performing model with an accuracy of 60%.

High strength concrete (HSC) is very useful for recent construction technology; the major problem of HSC is the insufficient ductility. To investigate the ductility of HSC, the entire stress-strain curve, especially in the descending branch, shall be recorded. The aim of this study is to investigate the durability of High strength concrete for different replacement levels of mineral admixtures by alternate wetting and drying phenomenon which includes; acid attack, sulphate resistance and marine Environment and also to determine the compressive strength of concrete as GGBFS partial replacement for cement. Concrete mix is designed for M80 Grade of concrete using modified ACI method. Maximum Compressive Strength of 96.4MPa and 91.6 MPa at 28days were found for the HSC specimens at a partial replacement of cement with 30% of GGBFS in normal water curing and accelerated curing tank respectively. The specimens immersed in marine solution were found to have less weight loss when compared to acids and sulphate solution.

Gassmann’s equation can be used to determine the velocity of compressional waves that pass through rocks with various pore fluid contents, using fluid substitution concept, but is generally applied to certain conditions only (physical rock properties). Carbonate rock has properties in contrary of Gassmann’s assumption; is a heterogenic, anisotropic rock and does not have a well-interconnected pores. In this research, secondary data from laboratory measurements are used, consisting of carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite) to test modified Gassmann’s equation on carbonate rocks. Two approaches of Gassmann’s equation are used by using k-dry and k-1 components, which are the value of compressional modulus bulk of saturated rocks. The result of both approaches shows that the usage of k-1 component is more optimal to be applied to carbonate rocks because it does not use k-dry component, which should only be used on field measurements, as there is a difference in the environment condition (air, temperature, and pressure) on reservoir and laboratory.

A user often wants to do some tasks which don’t need a specific time to complete but are important, due to busy routines and possible memory loss problems user forgets to accomplish such tasks or delay them to manage later. The task may be about conveying some information to a person when the user meets him, sort things in his wardrobe, or locker, etc. A user can meet the person anywhere or anytime so he cannot set a reminder for a specific time. Such tasks can be accomplished if the user has a reminder system, which reminds him about the tasks at runtime. In this paper, we present a reminder system based on speech recognition & speaker identification; personal voice- controlled aid for the user to remind about the tasks when some specific keyword/phrase is spoken by the user or user reaches a specific location so that the user can accomplish the important time independent tasks without being time-bound. The specified keyword can be anything, person name, place name, and any phrase. The user can speak to the assistant to remind about some task without un- locking his mobile or opening the application for a specific keyword/phrase & location. When the specific keyword/phrase is spoken or user reaches the specific location the assistant also speaks and reminds the user about the task. Voice reminder assistant supports Text-Independent Speaker Identification unlike other voice assistants already available.
