Development of alkali activated paver blocks for medium traffic conditions using industrial wastes and prediction of compressive strength using random forest algorithm.

Geopolymer is an environment friendly construction material that could be synthesized using either the natural source or the industrial byproducts such as flyash and GGBS. The characteristics of the Geopolymer rely on the proportion of the flyash and GGBS and the concentration of the activator solution used. In this research work, the effect of partial replacement of flyash with GGBS in proportions such as 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% is investigated.

Differential diagnosis of microbial keratitis and contact lens-induced peripheral ulcer.

Differentiating a contact lens-induced peripheral ulcer (CLPU) from early stage microbial keratitis (MK) is primarily based on clinical judgment rather than on microbiologic or histopathologic investigations. For this reason, tests do not provide valuable information at the early stages in the clinical course of MK. Whereas in gross terms, the clinical picture of MK is more acute and severe than CLPU, clinical features of the two can overlap, sometimes resulting in errors of judgment and mismanagement.
