Behavioral assessment of intrinsically formed smart concrete using steel fibre and carbon black composite.

In recent years, health monitoring consists of the periodic observation and analysis of existing systems to predict and avoid structural breakdown, thereby saving lives and significantly lowering the cost of structural maintenance and repair. Normally, non-destructive testing techniques and sensor technology are used to detect damage in concrete structures are expensive in nature. Self-diagnosing or smart concrete has emerged a new paradigm in concrete research for damage detection.

Structural, magnetic, electric and electrochemical studies on zinc doped magnesium ferrite nano particles - Sol-gel method.

The sol-gel process was used to prepare zinc doped magnesium ferrite (MgZnFeO) nanopowders obtained from the nitrates of magnesium, zinc and ferrous is precursor materials, maintain the pH value which were then studied for sensing purposes. The crystallite size and phase of the ferrite samples studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a pure spinel phase (MgZnFeO) with a cubic spinel structure and higher crystallite size and etc. The functional groups with possible stretching analysis were taken from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Adoption of machine learning algorithm for predicting the length of stay of patients (construction workers) during COVID pandemic.

The construction sector in a rapidly developing country like India is a very unorganized sector. A large number of workers were affected and hospitalized during the pandemic. This situation is costing the sector heavily in several respects.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the Concept of Mind-Body Interface.

In this chapter, we conducted a systemic literature review for the anti-inflammatory effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) applying molecular mechanisms focusing on the neuroinflammation and gut-brain axis in three neuropsychiatric disorders: major depressive disorder, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. We demonstrated the anti-inflammation or immunomodulation effects of TCM, including acupuncture, from basic and clinical research, including cellular and molecular approaches. In conclusion, inflammation plays a critical role in the neuropsychopathological process.

Feasibility study on application of ready mix concrete in construction projects in Nepal.

Ready mix concrete (RMC) is a new concreting concept in the Nepali construction industry introduced before one decade. The paper aims to assess the acceptance of ready mix for residential buildings of Nepal. The relation was developed for average compressive strength with slump value and water cement ratio based on laboratory test nominal mix M20 (1:1.
