While designing engineering structures, structure foundation should operate in accordance with the ground as much as possible and should fulfil the design criteria in geotechnical and structural means. Structure-ground interaction should be a non-negligible element of structure design. So far, examinations related to the earthquake indicate that earthquake induced structural damage is significantly affected by soil conditions. One of these is soil liquefaction. After soil became saturated by water, this damages the structures above the ground. This study conducted to determine soil-structure interactions and damage effects that arise from soil liquefaction. Liquefaction damages caused by ground are described and samples were brought for this damage. At the end, suggestions were made based on the obtained results.

The research on the dynamics of ultrastructural changes in the hemo-microcirculatory bed at different stages of experimental streptozotocin-induced diabetes has been conducted. There has been made a comparison of the results at the end of the 6th, 8th and 10th weeks of the experiment with the initial norm indices in order to obtain data on the beginning of the morphological changes in the area of the left heart vascularization and the beginning of the critical period of changes and the subsequent rearrangements in the rat hemo-microcirculatory bed links.

The system can be organized by a machine intervention in dissimilarity to human interposition into the conventional medical personnel based ideal of on diagnosing the disease. The system passes on two dependent steps - the first detects skin anomalies and the after identification the diseases to be infected. The system operates on visual input i.e. high resolution color images and patient background. In the form of machine intervention, the system uses color image processing having a ability, k-means clustering and color gradient method to finding the diseased skin. For classification ,we used the public cloud networks.

Today, the need for the structure is significantly increasing in parallel to the increase of the human population. In this regard, the structure will be construct must be built at a healthy and timely manner. Some of the plan engineers compress the workers to do the job predicting a very short time for any construction entry, and this decreases the productivity. This compression also brings an important issue about the worker safety. On the other hand, some planning engineers extend this time considering the workers, and as a consequence, this leads the construction never comes an end at the intended duration. Making a proper planning when build an economic and reliable structure will minimize such these problems. In this study, twenty-five workmanship values related manufacturing from the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning, and implementation period of the construction companies during the construction was obtained, organized and compared separately. Some suggestions were made based on the results obtained

The geothermal turbine blades are critical components that convert the kinetic energy of the steam flow into mechanical energy. The blades of the last stage in low pressure are longer and they define the turbine's overall performance. Some problems of damage to the blades of low pressure, are caused by environment and particles into stage of steam turbine. These situation arise pitting corrosion in the surface of the blade and corrosion fatigue mechanisms. In this works the behavior of the material of the geothermal turbine blade which is made of stainless steel AISI 410 SS is described. The tests were conducted by exposing the blade material in a corrosive environment and load cycles causing damage corrosion fatigue, crack initiation and propagation. The corrosion fatigue phenomenon (CF) was studied through the electrochemical noise technique in potential. Crack formation of the pit was determined from the stress intensity factor was calculated assuming that the pit was a semi-elliptical crack.

The changing trend and lifestyle today such as more women entering the workforce, extended Working hour, increasing household income and busier daily schedule had led the consumer to Eating out. This was fulfilling their need to have meal outside by choosing convenience alternative. The emergence of plenty restaurants in the country has leads the entrepreneurs to compete each other to ensure sustainability in their business margin. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify and understand the factors that influence consumer in choosing restaurant in Bangalore...............

Geothermal reservoirs could recover their conditions after a shut-down period by this reason are considered as renewable energy. In order to optimize the availability of this source, a sustainable exploitation strategy should always be designed. In contrast with oil systems which are practically isolated, geothermal reservoirs are open systems in which the flow of recharge due to the pressure drops is possible. Due to depth of geothermal reservoirs indirect methods based on monitoring data of wells are used to study their evolution. In this work, models widely used for the analysis of production decline data in oil wells have been adapted in order to include the analysis of geothermal wells................

This paper introduced a new low cost, compact and robust microstrip antenna based on metamaterial split ring resonator property to replace the existed antenna by small size and multiband Frequency antenna. The proposed antenna is designed with multi rectangular patches and simulated for different frequency. By using the metamaterial property, the bandwidth of the antenna has been improved. The gain of the antenna has also improved. The Return loss of the antenna for 3.9 GHz, 4.2 GHz, 5.6 GHz, 7.1 GHz, 8 GHz and 8.2 GHz are -23dB, -22dB , -16dB , -11dB, -27dB and -26dB resp.

This project presents new technique for partial face recognition. It provides feasible way to locate the positions of two eyeballs, near and far corners of eyes, midpoint of nostrils and mouth corners from face images. This approach would help to extract useful features on human faces automatically and improve the accuracy of face recognition. A whole partial face recognition system proposed is based on SVM and KNN. Support Vector Machines (SVM) can be used for feature extraction and dimension reduction. K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier is a class of non-parametric method used in statistical classification. The method classifies objects based on closest training.
