Development of Computer Aided Interaction Diagram for Bi-axially Loaded Column
Get PDFA research work was undertaken at The Department of Civil Engineering of University of Asia Pacific (UAP), Dhaka, Bangladesh during April to November 2015. Biaxial bending means the column is carrying bending by one or both axis with axial load and with calculations it is possible to put those unique values into a pattern to make an interaction diagram with balanced failure zone, tension failure zone and finally compression failure zone of a short or slender column. By using programming it is possible to make the calculations in seconds. The method is to make functions and calling them to solve certain specific values to generate the diagram pattern. The outcome was diagram data generating application having the ability to combine programming and “Civil Logic”. This is made for students and Civil Engineers who want to make interaction diagrams for designing a short, square and even slender column with ease
Optimization of Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extraction and Investigation of Anti Breast Cancer Activity with the Leaf Extract
Get PDFMoringa oleifera (M. oleifera) has been considered as medicinal plant and food substance since ancient times. Nowadays various therapeutic effects of M. oleifera such as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antioxidant effects have been successfully investigated. In this study, the main objective was to optimize M. oleifera leaf-methanol extraction using Design of Experiment (DoE) software with response surface methodology in terms of temperature and incubation time by sonication. The other objective was to investigate anti-cancer activity (breast cancer cell: MCF-7) by M. oleifera methanol extraction incorporation with microtitrate tetrazolium (MTT) assay.

Enabling Trustworthiness in Artificial Intelligence - A Detailed Discussion
Get PDFArtificial intelligence (AI) delivers numerous chances to add to the prosperity of people and the stability of economies and society, yet besides, it adds up a variety of novel moral, legal, social, and innovative difficulties. Trustworthy AI (TAI) bases on the possibility that trust builds the establishment of various societies, economies, and sustainable turn of events, and that people, organizations, and societies can along these lines just at any point understand the maximum capacity of AI, if trust can be set up in its development, deployment, and use. The risks of unintended and negative outcomes related to AI are proportionately high, particularly at scale. Most AI is really artificial narrow intelligence, intended to achieve a specific task on previously curated information from a certain source. Since most AI models expand on correlations, predictions could fail to sum up to various populations or settings and might fuel existing disparities and biases. As the AI industry is amazingly imbalanced, and experts are as of now overpowered by other digital devices, there could be a little capacity to catch blunders. With this article, we aim to present the idea of TAI and its five essential standards (1) usefulness, (2) non-maleficence, (3) autonomy, (4) justice, and (5) logic. We further draw on these five standards to build up a data-driven analysis for TAI and present its application by portraying productive paths for future research, especially as to the distributed ledger technology-based acknowledgment of TAI.
 
Kithul flour (Caryota urens) as new plant origin Gelatinizing agent with a product development of fruit-based dessert
Get PDFKithul (Caryota urens) flour has better gel-forming ability among other flour in the food industry. This study aimed to utilization of Kithul flour as substitute to existing plant origin gelling agent for food applications of vegetarians .Fruit based desserts can be produced using Kithul flour as the gelatinizing agent. This wood apple based dessert is the best example for that. The selected best sample with 1:1.5 flour: fruit pulp ratio, gave acceptable results as SLS standards 586:1982 and SLS standards 729:1985 for the tests done (sensory evaluation, Microbial analysis, pH and brixº). According to the shelf life studies the product with added preservatives can be kept at room temperature for 2 months in acceptable condition (sensory and microbiologically) .
According to the proximate analysis energy generation from 100g of the product is 262.28 Kcal. Compared to fruit jellies which prepared by pectin as plant-based gelling agent, Kithul dessert has more nutrients, and considerable amount of minerals with less carbohydrate and low calorie. This is a cost effective product which can earn considerable profit by marketing as a nutritious dessert by combination of high swelling flour with seasonal fruit.
 
Synthesis Procedures for Silver Nanoparticles
Get PDFThis article gives some proposals on how to grow silver nanoparticles using different methods. Dilute silver salts are recommended as the metal precursor starting solutions. The formation of the silver nanoparticles is to be monitored using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy so as to reveal the formation of silver nanoparticles and how they will exhibit surface plasmon absorption maxima at 418-420 nm from the UV–Vis spectrum. The Mie light scattering theory will be applied and the experimental results analyzed to show the diameter of silver nanoparticles in colloidal solution. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–Vis spectroscopy are proposed to be used to characterize the formed silver nanoparticles obtained. The energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) of the nanoparticles dispersion will confirm the presence or absence of elemental silver signal peaks. The size and morphology of the formed silver nanoparticles will be determined by transmission electron microscopy. The synthesized silver nanoparticles will be structurally characterized by using X-ray diffraction and transmission high-energy electron diffraction (HEED) and the peaks in the XRD pattern will be compared to the standard values of the face-centered-cubic form of metallic silver (ICCD-JCPDS card no. 4-0787)

Machine Learning as a New Search Engine Interface: An Overview
Get PDFThe essence of a web page is an inherently predisposed issue, one that is built on behaviors, interests, and intelligence. There are relatively a ton of reasons web pages are critical to the new world, as the matter cannot be overemphasized. The meteoric growth of the internet is one of the most potent factors making it hard for search engines to provide actionable results. With classified directories, search engines store web pages. To store these pages, some of the engines rely on the expertise of real people. Most of them are enabled and classified using automated means but the human factor is dominant in their success. From experimental results, we can deduce that the most effective and critical way to automate web pages for search engines is via the integration of machine learning.
 
Study on MHD Boundary Layer Flow of Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Over a Moving Inclined Plate in a Porous Medium With Suction and Viscous Dissipation in Presence of Hall Effect
Get PDFThe Hall effects on the steady MHD boundary layer flow of an incompressible fluid of combined heat and mass transfer over a moving inclined plate in a porous media with suction and viscous dissipation has studied. An external magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the surface and the fluid motion is subjected to a uniform suction and injection. A closed form solutions of the equations governing the flow are obtained for the velocity, secondary velocity, and temperature and concentration profiles. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using R-K method along with shooting technique. The velocities, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically for different values of governing flow parameters. The results presented graphically illustrate that primary velocity field decrease due to increase of magnetic parameter, angle of inclination, permeability parameter and suction parameter while secondary velocity also decrease for magnetic parameter, Hall parameter and permeability parameter .Other parameters increase the velocities of the fluid flow. Temperature field increases in the presence of Magnetic parameter, Grashof number, Modified Grashof number and permeability parameter and decreases for Prandlt number and suction parameter. Also, concentration profiles decreases for increasing the values of magnetic parameter, Hall parameter, Schmid number and suction parameter but there is no effect on concentration of the remaining parameters. Also the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are presented in Tables 1-3
