    Blasting produces energy to fragment the rock mass in mining, quarry and civil engineering projects. In mining and quarrying operation, blasting aims to extract the largest possible quantity of rock at minimum cost in the safest manner with minimum side effects such as ground vibration, flyrock and noise. Hence, blast design plays a vital role. Poor blast design is harmful to the surrounding and the desired rock fragmentation cannot be obtained. It affects the drilling and blasting cost as well as the efficiency of all the subsystems such as loading, hauling and crushing in mining operations. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the significant parameters related to the blasting operation and establish a blast design model for better prediction of particle size of rock fragmentation. The study will focus on the granite quarry operation. Terrestrial and aerial survey technology namely Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) respectively, are carried out during pre and post of the blasting for discontinuity mapping. Then the engineering properties of the rock are determined through the laboratory work. These properties are then utilised in Discrete Element Method (DEM) numerical simulation using Bonded Particle Method (BPM) and Particle Blast Method (PBM) to predict the blasting performance. Once the model is verified, the influencing parameters are further investigated through a series of parametric study on rock fragmentation. The parameters involved are burden, spacing, stemming, hole diameter, bench height and powder factor. The relationship between the spacing to burden (S/B) ratio, stemming to burden (T/B) ratio, burden to hole diameter (B/D) ratio, bench height to burden (BH/B) ratio and powder factor against the predict mean particle size (d50) and uniformity index (n) is studied. Furthermore, a machine learning algorithm is utilized to predict the d50, sieve size at 80% material passing (d80) and parameters n as the output product. MATLAB and RapidMiner software of machine learning algorithms with four different learnings, which are Linear Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine (SVM), are utilised in this study. Comparisons of the output predictions between the learning algorithms are conducted and the influential parameters for the predictions are identified. The results show that Random Forest learning is chosen as the best machine learning, since the results obtained show the highest R-squared value, with the lowest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value. The best R-squared and RMSE results for prediction of mean particle size are 0.85 and 0.046, respectively. In addition, the best R-Squared and RMSE results for prediction of uniformity index are 0.75 and 0.324, respectively. A quarry blast evaluation system for prediction of rock fragmentation was developed. The blast evaluation system and prediction for rock fragmentation developed is focused on open pit quarry but this also may be applicable to rock slope. The blasting evaluation system established in this study will be very beneficial to policymakers, practitioners and designers associated with quarry blasting for a safe quarry blasting operation. Hence this will help the engineer to make crucial decisions during the planning, design and operational stages of a quarry

    After the flood event, there is lots of debris and muds were found along the affected area. Soil treatment is an alternative method used to utilize the mud flood to increase the strength of the material to produce bricks. In this study, a series of laboratory test was conducted to determine the optimum mixture stabilizer of nontraditional additives called “SH-85” to stabilize mud flood soil to form a brick. The mud flood soil sample was taken from Kuala Krai, Kelantan after the flood event. Basic test such as Atterberg limit test, specific gravity test, sieve and hydrometer were carried out to determine the physical properties of mud flood soils thus used for soil classification. Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test was conducted for treated and untreated of mud flood soils which were used to assess the engineering properties of the stabilized soil. The proportions of stabilizer added were 3, 5, and 10% from the soil weight and tested at 0, 3 and 7 days curing periods. Based on the results, it was found that the used of stabilizer could increase the soil strength. To achieve minimum values of crushing strength for bricks 2750 kPa, additional 2% of sodium nitrate was added to soil with 10% of SH-85 and cured for 3 days at 105 °C temperature. Microstructure analyses were conducted using Energy-Dispersive XRay spectrometry (EDX) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) tests. FESEM results show that the void of untreated soil was filled by a new cementations product and show the presence of white colour lumps in treated soil. This finding indicates that the mixture of SH-85 stabilizer and sodium nitrate is suitable for the mud flood soil to become bricks for building construction

    Protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is dependent on T cell and macrophage activation regulated by cytokines. Cytokines and chemokines produced at disease sites may be released into circulation. Data available on circulating cytokines in tuberculosis (TB) is mostly on pulmonary TB (PTB) with limited information on extrapulmonary disease (EPul-TB). We measured interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interkeukin-10 (IL-10), CXCL9 and CCL2 in sera of patients ( n = 80) including; PTB ( n = 42), EPul-TB ( n = 38) and BCG vaccinated healthy endemic controls (EC, n = 42). EPul-TB patients comprised those with less severe (LNTB) or severe (SevTB) disease. Serum IFN-γ, IL-10 and CXCL9 levels were significantly greater while CCL2 was reduced in TB patients as compared with EC. IFN-γ was significantly greater in PTB as compared with LNTB ( P = 0.002) and SevTB ( P = 0.029). CXCL9 was greater in PTB as compared with LNTB ( P = 0.009). In contrast, CCL2 levels were reduced in PTB as compared with LNTB ( P = 0.021) and SevTB ( P = 0.024). A Spearman’s rank correlation analysis determined a positive association between IFN-γ and IL-10 (rho = 0.473, P = 0.002) and IFN-γ and CXCL9 (rho = 0.403, P = 0.008) in the PTB group. However, in SevTB, only IFN-γ and CXCL9 were positively associated (rho = 0.529, P = 0.016). Systemic levels of cytokines are reflective of local responses at disease sites. Therefore, our data suggests that in PTB increased IFN-γ and CXCL9 balanced by IL-10 may result in a more effective cell mediated response in the host. However, elevated inflammatory chemokines CXCL9 and CCL2 in severe EPul-TB without concomitant down modulatory cytokines may exacerbate disease related pathology and hamper restriction of M. tuberculosis infection.

    Siyer, is the name of the works which discuss the biographies of the ProphetMohammed and it is also the name of the main science branch. Siyer inscriptionsbegan due to the eagerness and desire of introducing the Prophet to the generationswhom they had not the chance to see him, and due to the enthusiasm of calling themto obey him since he was introduces as an ideal model in the Koran. The main Siyerauthors are Eban, the son of Caliph Osman and Urve b. Zubeyr. The other twoimportant authors in this field are Ibn Ishak and Ibn Hışam. Siyer books were writtenin Arabic language at the beginning, and then they were translated into Persian,Turkish and other languages. There are many siyer books which were originallywritten in Arabic or Persian. Erzurumlu Kadı Mustafa Darûr was the first author whowrote siyer book in Turkish language in Egypt in 790/1388. The mentioned author?swork had taken its place among the main sources of the Turkish-Islamic culture, andhad served, in the interval which it was written, as a means of supporting the Turksmorally. That is why it gained the wide appreciation of the monarchs and the peoplealike and read with gratification for centuries. In this research Darûr and his siyer wasexamined. The research is made up of three chapters with the exception of the?Introduction? and ?Conclusion? chapters.The ?Introduction? chapter handles the importance of the research, its aim,method and sources.In the ?First? chapter, general information was given in summary about siyerauthors during the initial period with the emphasis on Turkish siyer.In the ?Second? chapter, the political, social and cultural circumstances ofthat period were generally introduced for the sake of better understanding Darûr andhis siyer by way of discussing his life, works and personality.In the ?Third? chapter Darûr?s work which carries the title ?Sûretu?n Nebû?was examined and the studies in relation to its wording, story, copies, sources,method, content and its literary characteristics were thoroughly investigated with theaim of displaying its importance from the standpoint of Turkish-Islamic culture.In the ?Conclusion?, Darir and his work, the sources of our history of culture,its pertinence and its characteristics were evaluated for the sake of shading light onpresent and paving the way for new studies.Siyer, Hz.
