 Abstract

Remote sensing satellite images are developed rapidly regarding quantity, quality, and applications to detect and extract various natural and artificial features on earth's surface like(vehicles, buildings, trees, roads, water, aircraft, ships). These satellite images provide important information in various applications like urban planning, disaster management, and environmental management. Different algorithms and methods are introduced by researchers to extract the specified features from satellite images. In an urban scenario, buildings are one among the foremost elementary structures and play an important role in the field of urban development, urban planning, climate studies, disaster management, map making, land use analysis, and change detection. The study aims are to extract building footprints employing a machine learning algorithm. various methods for extraction of building footprints are discussed in various studies However, extraction of rooftop of buildings from an metropolitan place has been a difficult task, since building rooftops have different shape, size, and spectral properties. In addition to that, other urban features, such as, road, barren land, etc. exhibit spectral properties similar to that of building rooftops. so that building extraction technique has become a vital and tough research problem receiving better recognition. The proposed technique uses a Machine Learning algorithm for classifying the building and non-building pixels. To eliminate false-detected building pixel use median filtering, morphological operator, and connected component labelling are used .the technique has been evaluating by pixel and object-based criteria with the consideration of precision, recall, quality of building(urban object).

Abstract India is bestowed with diversified climate by nature, coupled with tremendous changes in the field of agriculture science have given an ample opportunity to the Indian farmers to cultivate diversified crop. Many revolution and reforms was witnessed by the farmers to overcome the problems of agriculture sector. At the same time the socio economic development among the farmer has given a room for the much needed changes and these has helped the farmers to take their decision in cultivating, marketing and even the decision towards the exports also. It is well understood that Indian agriculture is divided in to various sections like, agriculture commodities, horticulture commodities and allied activities. To study the socio economic status Indian farmers, mango cultivators was taken for the study. For simplicity the paper is dividing into sub-head, Micro and Macro level.

 Abstract

The present study reveals use of medicinal plant by the Halba tribes residing in village of Kapsi, Balod District, (Chhattisgarh).Our study reveals that major uses of medicinal plants for treatment of different diseases ranges from simple diseases such as painkiller to fatal diseases such as malaria and typhoid. The result of the study also showed the highest proportion medicinal plants were used in treating stomach ache, some plants are used in treating a series of different health problems. The main use of medicinal plants in this area is with the joint pains and joining bone fracture. Present study documented 15 medicinal plant species belonging to 14 different families used for joining bones, pains etc. Various parts of different plants are used for treatment of joint pains as well as for fracture. The leaves, roots and the barks are the most commonly used plant parts in the preparation of remedies respectively. The data obtained showed that plants have external use as well as are orally administered. The existence of diverse cultural traditions and belief system were found to have both useful and harmful impacts on medicinal plants. For instance, some of these beliefs contribute to medicinal plant conservation as they reduce the rate of harvesting of the plants, while others contribute to deterioration of the knowledge on traditional medicine and medicinal plants. The main threat for medicinal plants emanate from industrial expansion. Modernization, modification of culture and increased business work in the area have played a major role in changing the attitude of younger generation to ignore the use of traditional knowledge. Details of the study and procedure followed are discussed.

Background : Pregnancy is considered as a very precious event in every women`s life.Foetal movement counting is a method in which a woman quantifies the movements of her baby. The purpose is to reduce perinatal mortality by alerting care givers when the baby might have become compromised. Yet for every 1000 births the perinatal mortality is 37.7, varies from 24.8 in Kerala to 75.5/1000 in Orissa. It is higher in rural (54.4) and lower in urban(20%) and in Tamilnadu 37.9/1000. In India alone about 8,90,000 perinatal deaths occur annually. Aims: The aim of the study was to compare the fetal movements based on DFMC count and Cardiff count ten chart. Objectives: The specific objectives of the study were: 1. To asses the fetal movements using DFMC chart among antenatal mothers.2.To asses the fetal movements using cardiff count ten chart among antenatal mothers.3.To compare the fetal movements using DFMC versus Cardiff count 10 chart among antenatal mothers.4.To find out the association between fetal movements with the selected demographic variables among antenatal mothers. Methodology:100 antenatal mothers from CEmONC Centre were selected by using probability convenient sampling method.Results: Regard to fetal movements based on DFMC, 21(10%) had poor fetal movements,53(40%) had good fetal movements and 26 (50%) had very good Fetal movements. Regard to fetal movements based on Cardiff count, 20(20%) had poor fetal movements, 55(55%) had good fetal movements and 25(25%) had very good fetal movements.

Abstract� Clay is one of the oldest and extensively used materials in Art and Architecture. Clay Craft and Construction form a thick coil of timeless and elegant art. It gives an insight to the human culture, history and evolution of various civilizations. Every place has its own technique of clay craft and the local men are the masters of it. Clay is the base material for all the clay crafts across India while the add-on materials, techniques and tools make each clay craft unique. In the phase of rapid modernization many such crafts are lost, forgotten and are replaced with machine made replicas of craft. The skilled craftsmen are migrating to urban areas in search of livelihood. A re-integration of the bond between clay craft and architecture would provide a sustainable solution to this problem. The artists would make the crafted clay wall modules from their own craft towns and ship them to the places of need. Integrating various clay crafts with interiors would shed light over dying clay crafts and provide a different perspective on how the traditional techniques can be used in the modern day. Each wall shall be an art work and earthen walls are one of the cheapest, sustainable and durable building options of construction. Earthen walls have been around for more than 1,000 years and stood the test of time while emanating their beauty and strength through ages. The wall shall be divided into smaller interlock able blocks to make it convenient to work with at the craft villages and towns. Later, the Crafted wall blocks are interlocked and arranged on site. This would bring down the overall cost and duration of the project. Thus, protecting the heritage and harmony of clay crafts and the Craftsmen.

 Abstract

The Gandhian Philosophy of Cleanliness became the dream of India�s Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. His dream got celebrated widely in India when the campaign Swachh Bharat Abiyan was launched on Gandhi Jayanti i.e. Second of October in 2014. This campaign received the support and appreciation not only from India but worldwide. The aim of this campaign is to make India clean, encourage healthy living and to make the entire India open defecation free. Since its inception, the campaign worked on cleaning streets, public places, heritage places, building toilets in rural areas and also encouraging waste segregation and proper disposal of waste. The overall burden of work gradually shifts to the Indian Sweepers as known as Safai Karamcharis. This research paper attempts to identify the perception of sweepers towards receiving general people�s cooperation in effective waste segregation. The perception of sweepers will be measured through the survey. The primary data will help in analyzing their observation. Since, the paper focusses on perception of sweepers towards cooperation of general people in waste segregation, the findings might be useful in designing proper system so as to lower the overall burden from that of the sweepers. The results might be useful in conducting further research and finding unique solutions in executing Clean India Campaign from different perspectives.

 Abstract

The azalide antibacterial agent azithromycin is a semisynthetic acid-stable erythromycin derivative with an expanded spectrum of activity and improved tissue pharmacokinetic characteristics relative to erythromycin. The drug is noted for its activity against some Gram-negative organisms associated with respiratory tract infections, particularly Haemophilus influenzae. Azithromycin has similar activity to other macrolides against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Moraxella catarrhalis, and is active against atypical pathogens such as Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Once-daily administration of azithromycin is made possible by the long elimination half-life of the drug from tissue. Azithromycin is rapidly and highly concentrated in a number of cell types after absorption, including leucocytes, monocytes and macrophages. It undergoes extensive distribution into tissue, from where it is subsequently eliminated slowly. Oral drug delivery system is the most preferred route of administration for drug delivery. In the development of the drug delivery system many components play important role. Polymers are amongst those components which have evolved with the drug delivery system. Polymers are the macromolecule compound containing many monomer units joined to each other by bonds. The floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) become an additional advantage for drugs that are absorbed primarily in the upper segments of gastrointestinal (GI) tract, i.e., the stomach, duodenum and jejunum. The purpose of writing this review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to focus on the types of floating drug delivery systems, principal and mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention and polymers used in floating Drug delivery systems. Polymers used in the drug delivery system are of two types Natural and Synthetic based on their origin. Both types of the polymers have some advantages and disadvantages. This particular article gives information about the different types of natural and synthetic polymer used in the drug delivery system. Natural polymers like guar gum, chitosan, xanthan gum, Gellan gum and sodium alginate are mentioned in the article. Synthetic polymers mentioned are HPMC, Eudragit, and Ethylcellulose.
