Computer vision for automated surface evaluation of concrete bridge decks
No full textStructural health monitoring of concrete bridges requires accurate and efficient surface crack detection. Early detection of cracks helps prevent further damage. Safety inspection tests are conducted at regular intervals to assess deterioration. Traditional methods involve detection of cracks by human visual inspection. These methods are costly, inefficient and labor intensive, especially for long-span bridges. This thesis presents the use of computer vision and pattern recognition techniques in assessment of cracks on a concrete bridge surface. Bridge deck images are first collected using high-resolution cameras mounted on a robot. Statistical inference algorithms are then implemented to build an automated crack detection system. The proposed machine learning method reduces manual effort and enables automatic labeling over large bridge deck areas to quantify size and location for future reference or comparisons. A panoramic camera is used for the purpose of context localization. Additionally, we demonstrate image-stitching to obtain a coherent spatial mosaic of the bridge deck.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Prateek Prasann
The effect of lime juice on Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella enterica inactivation during the preparation of raw fish dish ceviche
No full textCeviche is a Peruvian raw fish dish. It is extremely popular in the South American countries and has recently gained prominence in USA. It can be made with many types of seafood but is most commonly in USA with tilapia. The most characteristic feature of ceviche is the use of lime juice for marinating the raw fish. No ingredient of the dish is cooked in the conventional sense of applying heat. There have been confirmed cases of cholera in Peru, New Jersey and Florida, associated with ceviche. Since lime juice is sole means of controlling risk in ceviche recipes across the world, it is important to study its anti-bacterial effects. Even though the literature is very rich in the use of organic acids as anti-bacterial agents, little data exists for their effect in seafood systems. The objective of the study was to study the anti-bacterial effects of lime juice marination in ceviche as it would be prepared in restaurants or homes. Target pathogens were Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella enetrica. Samples were incubated at room temperature (25°C) and refrigeration temperature (4°C) for time intervals up to 150 minutes. In experiments with Salmonella at room temperature, a mean log reduction of 0.8 was observed while at refrigeration temperature a mean log reduction of 2.1 was observed. Reduction in Vibrio parahaemolyticus could only be estimated based on starting levels and detection limits as the plate counts were always below the detection limit for all the times studied (10-150 minutes), both at room and refrigeration temperatures. In experiments at room temperature, log reductions varied from >4.5 to >5.2 while at refrigeration temperature, log reductions varied from >3.5 to >4.3. In experiments testing the inhibitory effect of lime juice, without the fish matrix, more than 5 log reductions in counts was observed on both bacteria. We conclude that preparing ceviche reduces Vibrio parahaemolyticus risk significantly but is less effective for control of Salmonella enetrica.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Prateek Mathu

Presentation ID: Room417_2
Abstract: Identity and Diaspora discuss about five different ethnic crisis and violence in Asia. These communities and cases are not only lesser known but also are examples of grave violence, discrimination, and migrations. These cases deal with identity such as race, religion, color and gender and how these identities have triggered certain violence and policies within Asia. The author emphasizes understanding different aspects, like religious and racial animosity, constitutional negligence and strategic violence, ethnic discrimination, among these cases. In five chapters, the author discusses the case of Burmese Indians, Muslims in Sri Lanka, Nepalese in Bhutan, Indophobia, Assam-Bengali crisis. In this accessible and student-friendly book, author Prateek Srivastava focuses on discussing certain aspects of migration and identity crises, which happened on a low scale or were lesser known. The author also discusses the policies followed by these countries/governments and how international communities and policymakers can prepare for any such kind of crisis or event that may happen in future. These cases are described after extensive research and can act as a framework to understand the perspectives of countries, governments, and regimes for any future practice of such kinds

Time Doesn't Slow — Clocks Do: The Second Clock Hypothesis and a Velocity-Scaled Time Framework
No full textTime Doesn’t Slow — Clocks Do” introduces the Second Clock Hypothesis (SCH), a dual-time framework proposing that time itself remains invariant, while clock rates scale with velocity. Extending the foundations of Einstein’s relativity, SCH introduces velocity-synchronized clocks to maintain continuity, causality, and biological coherence across subluminal and superluminal domains. Governed by the Prateek Time Scaling Factor (PTSF), the Prateek Dual-Time Transformation and PATSE equations avoid paradoxes such as frozen time or reversed causality. SCH reinterprets experimental results—like the Hafele–Keating atomic clock test—not as time deformation, but as clock adaptation, offering a smooth and consistent temporal model that bridges classical relativity with extended motion regimes
