A Review on the Use of Nano-Silica in Cementitious Compositions
Abstract: With the advent of nanotechnology, the material properties of the concrete industry, allows engineers and architects to use various materials in structural applications that were once impossible. Nowadays, the researchers are mainly focusing on the basic technology of cementitious material at nano/atomic level. The researchers are continuing to improve the durability and sustainability of concrete and have realised significant enhancement in mechanical properties of nano-silica incorporated cementitious materials. This review …

A Descriptive Study to Assess the ‘Birth Preparedness’ in Third Trimester of Pregnancy among Antenatal Mothers in a Low Income Group Colony
Abstract: A study was taken to assess the ‘Birth Preparedness’ in third trimester antenatal mothers of low income group colony. Two types of performas were used in the study i.e. survey performa and interview schedule. A survey performa to identify and register antenatal mothers of third trimester was used. After validation nine questions were added to the standardized tool. Total enumeration sampling technique was used and total 65 third trimester antenatal …

Fault Diagnosis of Helical Gear Box Using Variational Mode Decomposition with Naïve Bayes and Bayes Net Classifiers through Vibration Signals
Abstract: Gear is a very important machine component which finds use in most of the machines which requires some sort of power transmission or reduction. Unattended faults in gears can be catastrophic for the machine leading to halts in production and consequent economic loss. The requirement for a gear fault detection and diagnosis system is thus emphasized. Vibration signals are often used in fault diagnosis applications along with Fast Fourier transform …
