Dynamic Response of Bridges and its Effect on Soil Medium
Abstract: The analysis of dynamic behaviour of bridge structures that are subjected to moving loads has been one of the research benefits in recent years. Specifically in railway bridges, resonance ensues when the load frequency is equal to a multiple of natural frequency of the structure. Resonance vibrations have been practical in railway bridges, especially subjected to high-speed lines. They are caused primarily because of two reasons: one is the repeated …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …

Grid-Connected Renewable Energy Systems: A Review of Policies, Technologies, and Market Trends
Abstract: The need for power is increasing by the day, and it cannot be satisfied properly without nonrenewable energy resources. Renewable energy sources like wind and sunshine are both abundant and environmentally benign. These sources of renewable energy are the most promising for meeting global energy needs, yet they are unpredictable due to natural factors. A hybrid wind and solar power system is the most effective approach to make use of …

Investigations into the Features and Attributes of Low-Density Polyethylene/Thermoplastic Sago Starch Composites
Abstract: Low-density polyethylene, the material used to make most plastic shopping bags, has a considerable negative impact on the environment. It is enough intriguing for a substance to decay, develop for whatever reason (hydrolysis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.), and be exposed to the elements. Sodium trimetaphosphate was used in this experiment to treat sago starch. Using additives (glycerol/urea, 1% benzophenone, and epolene wax) in the same amount of starch, sago starch was …
