    Master of Engineering-Structural Engineering, DissertationSelf-Compacting Concrete (SCC) represents one of the biggest modern innovations in the construction field worldwide. Until now, on an international level, the number of constructions using SCC as a main material is limited. A self-compacting concrete (SCC) is the one that can be placed in the form and can go through obstructions by its own weight and without the need of vibration. Since its first development in Japan in 1988, SCC has gained wider acceptance in Japan, Europe and USA due to its inherent distinct advantages. SCC provides better quality especially in the members having reinforcement congestion or decreasing the permeability and improving durability of concrete”. In the present graduate thesis there is a thorough report on mechanical properties and the major attributes of the fresh and hardened concrete, as well as on the methods of production and the ingredients of the recycled materials. The primary study is to explore the acceptability of demolished concrete waste aggregate to make self compacting concrete of high strength and desirable properties. It addresses experiments on various mixes of self compacting concrete – one with fresh coarse and fine aggregates, while the others with replacement of 25%, 50 %, 75% and 100% recycled fine aggregates. Results showed the fresh, hardened and durability properties of all the concrete mixes were comparable. The compressive strength of all the concrete mixes was measured at the age of 7 and 28 days.Civil Engineering Department, Thapar University, Patial

    Currently the progress of Information and Communication Technology has been adapted by various government agencies or private, one of the technology that can be used is web, government have used this technology for e-government. The Office of Industry, Trade and SME of Kota Pagar Alam that runs the Market through the Technical Implementation Unit of the Service gives the right to rent at Pasar Dempo Pagar Alam. During this time if there is an empty kiosk, prospective tenants come to the clerk for confirmation and lease submission process. To simplify the management and lease submission process, an application is needed that can facilitate the officer and prospective tenants to interact, while the application will be built is web-based. The purpose of this study design application in the sense of translating the results of the analysis into the form of software packages later Create the system or improve the existing system. To make the proposed system the author uses the steps of Customer Communication, planning, modeling, construction and deployment

    Having had a humble beginning with the efforts in a small region known as Mewat in India, Tableeghi Jamaat had now make the presence felt in almost all the continents.In the absence of any publicity material this is indeed a remarkable achievement.The present paper attempts to describe the efforts of Jamaat in the most populous state of India namely Uttar Pradesh.It is unfortunate that not enough material has been produced related to Tableeghi Jamaat. Furthermore, whatever has been written, most of it, is not free from malice and prejudice.As a matter of fact, this kind of study needs participation on the part of any author to present a balance picture.The present author has spent a considerable amount of time to get familiarity with the ideology of Jamaat. Besides outings, the author also participates in the local activities concerning the daily and weekly programmes. The present paper is thus an outcome of this indoor and outdoor participation.It states that how the Jamaat played significant role in the knowledge sharing and transfer and to what extent the Muslim community had been benefitted in India

    This poster was presented by Alam, I., Teacher Candidates' opinions about Augmented Reality(AR) as a supplemental educational tool. Presented at 10th Annual Graduate and Professional Student Conference, held at Memorial Union, Ames, IA, April 6 2022. Posted with permission.In recent years, augmented reality (AR) technology has been widely proposed as innovative technology. AR technology superimposes digitally simulated information on the physical environment, which can be a unique element for learning experiences. Despite the potential of AR, there has been relatively little integration of AR into the classroom. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the acceptance and intentional use of AR technology by teacher candidates and their opinions of AR as a supplemental educational tool. The study has utilized a phenomenological design that is comprised of System Usability Scale survey and interview questions. Based on the participants' answers, research data has been analyzed and discussed

    This paper discusses the environment and natural resource management in an Islamic perspective from the author\u27s perspective based on the limited amount of Islamic literature that the author knows. The discussion starts from defining the environment, analyzing human behavior towards the environment, human behavior and environmental destruction, human efforts in environmental conservation. It also discussed ethics and the environment, and finally religious views, especially Islam on the environment and natural resource management as well as environmental conservation orders, both recorded in the holy book as well as in history and hadith. Information was collected based on a literature review of research results and previous records as well as the results of observations of the environment itself.Tulisan ini membahas tentang lingkungan dan pengelolaan sumber daya alam dalam perspektif Islam dari kacamata penulis berdasarkan sejumlah terbatas literatur Islam yang penulis ketahui. Pembahasan dimulai dari pendefinisian lingkungan, analisis perilaku manusia terhadap lingkungan, perilaku manusia dan pengrusakan lingkungan, usaha manusia dalam pelestarian lingkungan hidup. Dibahas juga tentang etika dan lingkungan hidup, dan terakhir pandangan agama, khususnya Islam terhadap lingkungan hidup dan pengelolaan sumberdaya alam serta perintah pelestarian lingkungan, baik yang tercatat dalam kitab suci maupun dalam riwayat dan hadits. Informasi dikumpulkan berdasarkan kajian literatur hasil penelitian dan catatan sebelumnya serta hasil pengamtan terhadap lingkungan itu sendiri

    No full text
    Abstract: Environmental concerns of sentry landfills are generally revolve around quantity and quality of leachate production, gas generation mainly methane, and decomposition processes of organic matter occurring therein. Second main concern is to minimizing the time period for maximum organic degradation to minimize the leachate and gas emissions after saturation of landfill. This research paper compares the benefits of bioreactor landfill operation techniques over the conventional landfill techniques with the need for the research for the promising technology in India. Key words: Landfill, leachate, waste stabilization
