Climate change refers to any significant change in the measure of climate lasting for an extended period of time. In other words, climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns, among other effects, that occur over several decades or longer. Climate is the average weather in a given place, usually over a period of more than 30 years. The Earth's climate depends on the balance between the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy that is absorbed or radiated back into space. Natural influences can alter how much heat is reflected or absorbed by the Earth's surface, including changes in the sun's intensity, volcanic eruptions, and multi-year climate cycles such as El Niño. Human activities such as deforestation and the production of greenhouse gases also affect this balance. These alterations, in turn, affect climate on local, regional, and global scales.

Audio studios are designed to have necessary acoustic properties that will guarantee dynamic audio quality with precision and accuracy that is void of distortion but, with improved decay rate. Apparently the decay rate of a room is a function of the absorptive materials used in the room design and construction, the geometric measurement, and the frequency of the sound. Two broadcasting studios were investigated to ascertain the acoustic performance at different geometric heights. Issues to be considered are the reverberation time and the height at which decay rates were even.

Many inventory problems in the previous studies were addressed theoretically. In this study practical evaluation of the inventory performance in the Nigerian industries was carried out. First, the identified industries were grouped into three categories-small-, medium- and large-scale to determine their response to the practice of inventory management based on the capital outlay. Second, the effects of the capital outlay on inventorying the salient production factors including manpower, raw material and finished goods were determined. Third, other inventorying sub-factors such as order time, lot size, cost of order, number of order, demand and production rate were also assessed. Lastly, descriptive statistical analysis was utilized in analyzing the surveyed data. The results of the study practically indicated that the inventory management (of the production staffers, raw material and finished products) was affected by the sizes of industry; small-, medium-, and large- scale. The finding has advised individual industry to develop its inventory system based on its funding capability.

This paper presents an electronic navigation system for visually impaired and blind people. This system understands obstacles around it and in front, left and right direction using a network of ultrasonic sensors. It effectively calculates distance of the detected object from the subject and prepares navigation path accordingly avoiding obstacles. It uses speech feedback to aware the subject about the detected obstacle and its distance. This proposed system uses AT89S52/LPC2148 microcontroller based embedded system to process real time data collected using ultrasonic sensor network. Based on direction and distance of detected obstacle, relevant pre-recorded speech message stored in Voice and play back circuit. Such speech messages are conveyed to the subject using speaker on voice and playback circuit.

Integrated offshore investigations along selected segments off East Coast of India for port and harbors developmental activities have provided detailed information on the sea floor morphology and sediment characteristics. The data permits comparative evaluation of the region from northern parts to southern parts. The eastern continental margin of India is flanked by a narrow zone of onshore, offshore sedimentary basins with a sediment fill ranging from Early to Late Holocene. There are variations in sediment nature and geotechnical characteristics along the near shore sector of the east coast. An attempt is made to compare the geotechnical characteristics of the sediments in the near shore sector of the east coast along Andhra Pradesh and Pondicherry coasts. Detailed studies at port areas have been carried out by the East Coast Operations, Marine Wing, GSI, Visakhapatnam at selected sectors along the Andhra Pradesh and Pondicherry coasts for their development and also on case specific studies for single buoy mooring etc. The domains are grouped under three categories 1) Open sea domain 2) Deltaic domain and 3) minor rivers / stream mouth domain. The sediments off Gangavaram and Mautyalmmapalem can be classified as open sea sediments; the sediments off Kakinada, Machilipatnam, Nizampatnam and Vadarevu as deltaic; and the sediments off those of Kottapatnam, Bavanapadu, Kalingapatanm, Bheemunipatnam, Krishnapatnam and Pondicherry can be grouped under the category of minor rivers / streams. The difference in the geotechnical characteristics and its relation with the sediment nature, in different domains, are discussed briefly hereunder. The wet bulk density is high in the open sea as well as in the minor river / stream domains, when compared to the deltaic domain, because of presence of low percent of finer fraction. The specific gravity is also high in the open sea and in the minor river / stream domains in view of presence of heavies with in the sand fraction. The liquid limit and the plastic limit values are high in the deltaic domain, when compared to other two domains, due to presence of higher percent of finer material. The sediments are inorganic clays of low to medium plasticity in the open sea and minor river / stream domains, as sediment types are of either sandy clay or silty clay, in general; and inorganic clays of high plasticity in the deltaic domain. The sediments are normal to active type in the open sea and minor river / stream domains, as salinity is relatively high, and inactive to normal type in the deltaic domain. The marine sediments in the near shore zone invariably have their natural moisture content at around or even more than their liquid limit values except in a few sediment samples indicating very soft consistency of the sediments. There is a wide variation in the geotechnical properties of the sediments off the major deltas of Godavari and Krishna than those away, which in turn, are related to texture of the sediment. The wet bulk density and specific gravity values of the marine sediments off Kakinada, Machilipatnam and Nizampatnam are relatively low (wet bulk density 1.29 to 1.96 Mg/m3; Gs-2.00 to 2.67) to those at Kottapatnam, Bavanapadu, Gangavaram and Krishnapatnam (wet bulk density 1.65 to 2.17 Mg/m3; Gs-2.53 to 2.77). The deltaic sediments off Kakinada, Machilipatnam and Nizampatnam areas show an increase in their liquid and plastic limits (LL 23 – 99 % and PL 21 – 48 %) respectively than those at non-deltaic areas off Bavanapadu, Gangavaram, Mutyalammapalem and Krishnapatnam (LL 16-45 %, PL 10 – 24 %). The relatively higher values in the deltaic sediments can be explained due to their higher percent of fine size material (Clay size fraction), which has significant influence on the Atterberg limits. The un-drained shear strength of deltaic clays at Kakinada, Machilipatnam and Nizampatnam are relatively high (2.75 to 15.30 kpa). The remolded shear strength values are naturally low due to mixing of the sediments, high water content etc. Sensitivity values vary from about 1.0 for over consolidated clays to 2.80 for the quick clays.
As per plasticity chart, the sediments of Kakinada, Machilipatnam, Nizampatnam and majority from Krishnapatnam area are in the CH region (inorganic clays of high- plasticity); the sediments from Nuvvalarevu (Bavanapadu), Kalingapatnam and Pondicherry area fall in the category of CL region (inorganic clays of lowplasticity); and from Nagavalli River Mouth, Bheemunipatnam and Mutyalammapalem are in the CI range
(inorganic clays of medium- plasticity).
The plotting indicates that the clay, in order of abundance, falls in the region of Illite to Kaolinite type in Nuvvalarevu (Bavanapadu) and Bheemunipatnam; Kaolinite to Illite type in Nagavalli River Mouth and Krishnapatnam; Kaolinite type in Mutyalammapalem, Kakinada, Machilipatnam and Nizampatnam; Illite to Kaolinite and with a few amount of Montmorillonite in Kalingapatnam; and Illite and small amount of Montmorillonite in Pondicherry. The sediments Off Machilipatnam was subjected to consolidation test, the pre- consolidation pressure (ppr) was found to be higher (0.92 Kg/ cm 2) than the present over burden pressure (0.085Kg/ cm2) which indicates that the sediment is pre-consolidated or over consolidated.
