Depleting natural resources and global environmental conditions demand for new sustainable material with improved performance and mechanical strength. This research is based on the synergic behavior of clay and other ternary additives in order to develop a new binding material and thus can reduce the use of cement in construction projects. Control/Reference concrete mix for the study is made with ratio of 1:1.5:3. (400 kg/m3 cement). In order to develop a new binding material, clay in combination with different additives is used as replacement of cement in concrete. Ternary mix composites consisted clay replacements of 24.98%, 20.5% and 17.5% with ternary modifiers (ash, lime and multi- wall carbon nanotube) taking 7.5%, 4.5% and 0.015% part respectively. In order to evaluate the behavior of different additives in combination with clay as replacement material for cement, the entire research wok is divided in five groups,G1 (Group containing only Cement),G2 (Group containing both Cement-Clay ), G3(Group containing Cement-Clay-Lime ),G4(Group containing Cement-Clay-Ash ) & G5(Group containing Cement-Clay-MWCNT) . All the five groups’ specimens are tested for dry density, water absorption, and workability and Compressive strength. The results of all the evaluated parameters confirmed that clay has good potential to be used as replacement material for cement in construction projects.

In the present paper, we introduce the summability space of arbitrary triangle matrix, which contain almost all recently published ones as special cases, and examine its some properties such as some inclusions relations, -dual, BK- space and isometry. Also, we characterize related matrix classes and determine their operator norms, and give the characterization of compact operators using Hausdor¤ measures of noncompactness. Finally, in the special case we deduce some well known results.

Groin injuries often mean serious problem in football which is the most popular and financial sport in the world. The purpose of this study was to research the sonographic existence of inguinal hernia (IH) in footballers with osteitis pubis (OP) and whether it has a relationship with pubic bone marrow edema (PBME). Ninety-three male footballers diagnosed OP between January 2011 to August 2019 were included in the study. Clinical findings and PBME on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were examined. The results of dynamic inguinal ultrasonography (USG) of the athletes with hernia-like complaints were evaluated. Sixteen (17.2%) footballers with OP were found to be IH-related. Eleven (11.8%) athletes had an USG detectable IH concurrent with OP. Five (5.4%) athletes already had a repaired IH prior to study. Mean age and symptom duration were 24.1 years and 2.8 months in non-IH athletes, while were 29.6 years (p=0.006) and 5.3 months (p=0.008) in IH-related athletes. MRI of 13/16 (81%) athletes showed greater PBME severity on the herniated groin. It was significant that IH and severe PBME were on the same groin side (p=0.021). In conclusion, USG detectable IH exists in approximately one-tenth of footballers with OP. The probability of this concurrency increases in aged footballers with long-term groin pain. PBME is more severe in the herniated groin side, whether the IH is concurrent or repaired. There is a strong relationship between IH and OP severity in terms of groin localization. This may indicate that the two conditions have similar injury mechanism in football.

The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of cutting parameters (Vc, fz and ap) on tool life and the level of vibrations in the machined part during face milling operation of hardened AISI 52100 steel. Dry-face milling has been achieved in the annealed (28 HRC) and quenched (55HRC) conditions using multi-layer coating micro-grain carbide inserts. Statistical analyses based on the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and ANOVA analyses have been conducted through a plan of experiments methodology using a reduced Taguchi table (L9) in order to obtain engineering models for tool life, surface roughness and level of vibration in the workpiece for both heat treatment conditions. The results show that the cutting speed has a dominant influence on tool life for both soft and hard part. feed per tooth has a dominant influence on machined surface roughness. The depth of cut is the most significant parameter for vibration levels. Comparing the experimental values with those predicted by the developed engineering models of tool life, surface roughness and levels of vibrations, a good correlation has been obtained (between 97% and 99%) in annealed and hard conditions.

Citrus is a major fruit crop of Pakistan. Its production is 2150 thousand tons in Pakistan. Its peel is being wasted but Citrus peel essential oils can be used in industries such as cosmetics, perfumery, baking and medicines.Three citrus cultivars namely Citrus paradisi(grapefruit), Citrus reticulata (kinnow) and Citrus sinensis (musambi) were used in this study. Steam distillation is an easiest and cheapest method for essential oils production. In steam distillation extraction temperature is an important parameter to be effected on the basic quality of essential oils. Three temperature levels such as 105oC, 110oC and 120oC were used in steam distillation to extract the essential oils. It was observed that at higher temperature yield, oil density and refractive index were minimum. With the increase in temperature chemical constituent’s number and percent composition were also decreased. Chemical characterization of the essential oils was done by GC-MS. Maximum total compounds in all the samples were 57 but maximum number of compounds in one sample were 29 at 105oC. Essential oils extracted at this temperature showed the maximum oil yield percentage i.e. 0.311% in grapefruit followed by musambi (0.310%) and kinnow (0.302 %). The numbers of chemical compounds were also affected by heat and it was found that percentagesof α-caryophyllene, α-pinene, caryophyllene, citronellal, decanal and nootkatone were decreased at higher temperature 120oC

We present the temperature dependent of electrical resistivity in two samples of n-type CdAs2 semiconductors in order to identify and for better knowledge of the dominant conduction mechanism. The experimental data have been measured at low temperature on the insulating side of the metal-insulator transition. Our investigations show variable range hopping (VRH) conduction law ρ(T)=ρVRHexp(TVRH/T)α. In both samples referenced CdAs2 (A) and CdAs2 (B), Mott VRH is observed with α=1/4 at low temperatures. With decreasing temperature, in case of sample B, the effect of Coulomb correlations might take place at 5.24K whose the density of states opens linearly at the Fermi level, and the electrical resistivity data are described by the Fogler, Teber and Shklovskii VRH model with α=2/5. Moreover, no Efros-Shklovskii VRH (α = 1/2) is observed even at lower temperature, suggesting that Coulomb interactions lead to a linear Coulomb gap and not usual parabolic form around the Fermi energy. This finding may help scientists and researchers to identify and for better knowledge of the dominant conduction phenomenon.

Objectives: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the level of knowledge regarding the effects of tobacco smoking during pregnancy. Methods: An online self-report questionnaire was applied using social networking and dedicated sites to women who were either pregnant, either recently gave birth. Results: 1347 women were eligible to be included in the study. 42.9% among former smokers, 33.8% of active smokers and 31.5 % of never smokers had a good knowledge about smoking effects. Despite that, 75% of them continued smoking. 43.21% of respondents gave up smoking, 36.8 % reduced the number of cigarettes when finding out that they were pregnant. The main reason for giving up smoking was family pressure (75.1%). Conclusions: Both passive and active smoking during pregnancy represents a serious health problem that needs to be addressed, through structured health programs that include a behavioral therapy approach.

in this modern era, medical image processing has an indispensible part of many applications and practices in medical domain. The images which are used should have some criteria, including more accurate details and information than every single image has which could help medical scientist to analysis and treatment. Medical image fusion is among techniques offering high quality images which are combined of different modalities. Multimodal medical image fusion provides a remarkable improvement in the fused image quality. An image fusion method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) utilizing local features and fuzzy logic methods. The target of proposed technique is to create maximum combination of useful information present in MRI and CT images. Image local features are distinguished and combined with fuzzy logic to calculate weights for each pixel. Simulation outcomes present that the proposed method produces considerably better results compared to cutting edge techniques. The method also is used to detect and highlight the tumorous areas following with morphology filters using to omit any noise and disturbance.

Parkinson is neurodegenerative disease resulted from deficiency of dopamine production due to degeneration of substantia nigra. Meanwhile, spinal deformities such as postural changes, scoliosis, antecollis, camptocormia and pisa syndrome can be seen. Camptocormia, pisa syndrome, scoliosis and antecollis are the deformities occurring in spinal region in parkinson\'s disease. Planning spinal deformity in patients with Parkinson’s disease is something to be careful. In Parkinson’s surgery diseasefirstly, balance of the spine should be observed and functions should be protected by reducing the pain. It should be noted that after a good surgery, patient is highly satisfied despite complications and revision rates.

Fuzzy logic based CPU schedulers is an interminable area of research due to its distinct feature of handling impreciseness. Researchers are keen to explore the extended forms of fuzzy to improve the performance of CPU schedulers. This paper presents a new intuitionistic fuzzy Round Robin CPU scheduler. An intuitionistic fuzzy inference system has been introduced to dynamically handle the uncertainty of burst time and fixed time slice. The proposed scheduler facilitates adaptability by providing continuous feedback to the system. Due to dynamic adaptability, scheduler is capable enough of scheduling each task for the dynamic time slice. A simulation has been performed to compare the efficiency of proposed scheduler over other baseline schedulers (Conventional Round Robin scheduler, Fuzzy Round Robin scheduler and Vague Round Robin scheduler). Simulation results ascertain the efficacy of the proposed scheduler.
