Ayurveda being a science learnt, practiced and taught over generations is a discipline codified through centuries in written documents called manuscripts. Manuscripts on medicine ranges between 20,000–1,00,000 in number. A mere 2% of the available material from manuscripts is in printed form. Several treatment priniciples methods and medical formulations are yet to be discovered from the manuscripts for the present day needs. Therefore, a scientific protocol of research methodology for accessing and exploring this knowledge treasure is of immediate necessity. This article provides an alleyway towards the methodology in Medical Manuscriptology to be adopted by a scholar who intends to take up research in Ayurveda manuscripts.

Lightweight concrete provides numerous benefits compared to conventional concrete, like reduction in dead load and operating costs. One of the prime methods of producing structural lightweight concrete is the utilization of lightweight aggregates. The relevance of waste substances as cement alternate or aggregates in concrete can help a solution in order to reduce negative influences of the concrete industry. One of the agricultural solid wastes derived from the industry of coconut is coconut shell (CS) which processes about 40% lower weight compared to normal weight aggregates. The paper reveals an investigation on the coconut shell as coarse aggregate as well as class F fly ash and sugarcane bagasse ash as complementary cementitious material to produce more environmentally adorable lightweight concrete. Based on the research outcome, the eco friendly structural lightweight aggregate concrete has the ability to be prepared by combining three kinds of waste substances: coconut shell as coarse aggregate and blended Class –F flyash and sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a substitution for cement (by mass) up to 60%. The process of replacing the cement by blended Class –F flyash and sugarcane bagasse ash leads to density reduction.

Smart home is a residence with several electrical and electronic appliances that are capable of communicating with each other and can be controlled remotely from any room in the home or from any location in the world. Easy control of home appliances/devices and energy management has been the main goal that leads to the invention of smart homes. However, most of the systems developed for these homes are either complex or could not manage energy wastage efficiently which incurring more electricity bills cost. In this work, an intelligent home energy management system that is based on Least Square Regression (LSR) analysis is presented. The system is trained based on the historical data of occupant’s interaction with the appliances over a period of time. It monitors and computes the power consumption of home user over a period of time. This system takes decision and controlled the output using LSR based on what it learnt by alerting the home user on condition of accept or reject response through Android GUI Apps. The system performance evaluation based on the frequency prediction which is given as 0.77 RMSE, the activation time prediction is given as 127.89 seconds RMSE which is slightly above 2 minutes with a regression coefficient of (R=0.999988). The RMSE of 257.90 seconds for activation of duration prediction with regression coefficient analysis of (R= 0.989071).

The production and consumption of building materials have increased to leaps and bounds in the past few decades due to tremendous increase in population. As the production of building materials gets increased, generation of waste materials such as fibers, granules, ashes, effluents etc. also gets increased. Nowadays wastes of different types are being used effectively in concrete either partially and fully which helps in making of green concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete is a special type of concrete in which natural or synthetic fibers with different aspect ratios are used to eliminate or reduce crack formation and to improve various mechanical strength properties when mixed along with fly ash, silica fumes etc. in optimal dosages. In order to study the influence of waste on various strength properties of cement concrete, different dosages of cement are replaced with fly ash and also with coconut fiber or wollastonite fiber were added. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were experimentally evaluated and modulus of elasticity was empirically determined. Based on the test results, the concrete with 20% replacement of cement with fly ash and fiber revealed effective results when compared to concrete without fiber. Coconut fiber along with minimum dosages of fly ash has greatly improved the flexural strength on the other hand it reduces other mechanical properties at higher dosages. Combination of Wollastonite fiber with fly ash helps in the improvement of overall mechanical strength of cement concrete.

Doha, the capital city of the State of Qatar, has undergone rapid economic growth and urbanization over the past 20 years. In contrast with developed countries, where sustainable development has been implemented on a neighborhood scale, sustainable planning research has still been concentrated at the national level and less on the neighborhood level in the State of Qatar. Achieving the development of healthy cities without green and sustainable neighborhoods within them is challenging. The dynamism, livability and diversity of cities rely upon the cohesion of its neighborhoods as they make up the urban fabric from which enduring settlements are formed. Moreover, walkability and connectivity have been identified as two of the central aspects for enhancing neighborhood livability. However, the introduction of the car has transformed traditional pedestrianized street patterns into a car-dominant street network, with traditional walking Souqs replaced by destination-based strip-shopping. This study aims to examine the extent to which the heritage neighborhood site of the Souq Waqif in Doha is livable and what further implementations can be employed to increase its social sustainability (livability).

Distribution transformers, being the most common equipment in a distribution system, are of very great importance and must be properly cared for so that they can perform optimally at all times and last long. One of the major challenges distribution transformers have is the amount of losses in the transformer. These losses are load and no-load losses, of which load losses constitute the most under full and medium capacity operations. Several methods have been proposed in the fight to improve the handling capacity of distribution transformers and reduce the load losses in the transformer. In this study, an analysis is carried out on the effects of linear and non-linear loads on an 11/0.415kV, 200kVA, three phase, two winding oil coiled distribution transformers and three of the methods of loss compensation. These system is modelled and simulated using Matlab Simulink 2015a. The simulation results are collected and using Microsoft Excel, graphs are used to compere the results from the different simulations.

Shisha/ Waterpipe smoking has become a global epidemic, especially among youth. Health effects of WTS have not been studied extensively like the cigarette smoking. There is a dire need to study and document health effects of water pipe smoking in general and specifically on the oral cavity. 100 subjects under each category were studied: Exclusively Shisha smokers, Exclusively Cigarette smokers, Cigarette and shisha smokers and non-smokers. Along with the Arab population, Indian populations residing in UAE were also studied. After a brief explanation of the study, and obtaining a written consent signed from the study participants, a questionnaire was administered to collect data. A detailed case history was taken. Oral examination included soft tissue and hard tissue examination. Simplified oral hygiene was calculated. Respiratory problems and Sleep disturbance were mainly reported among shisha subjects. Moderate to mild stains and calculus along with periodontitis was recorded. Complains of bad breath and dry mouth was reported. One case of mixed white and red patches was noted in shisha smoker. The finding of our study could be substantial evidence that WTS alone has the potential to cause deleterious oral health effects and could even lead to pre-malignant lesions.

Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. Descriptive statistics analysis using average, percentage, ratio, etc. and value chain analysis were done in this study. The average cost of production of Binatil is BDT. 30341.08 per hectare and yield is 1.23 t ha-1; which indicates to a production cost of BDT 24.81/kg. The average human labour cost was BDT 19803.83 per hectare; fertilizer cost was BDT. 3990.84 and land preparation cost was BDT 3164.84 per hectare. The cost of human labour, fertilizer and land preparation are the major cost items of Binatil production. The average price for Binatil 1& Binatil 2 was BDT 38 and net return was BDT 16306.42. In case of Binatil-1, producer share was 65 percent for value chain-I and 55 percent for value chain-II and it was 63 and 56 percent respectively for Binatil-2.

This paper assesses the comparative study of the role of tax audit and tax investigations in developed and developing countries (emphasis on Nigeria and United Kingdom). The two research questions that guided the research include; to what extent does effective tax audit and investigation curb incidents of tax evasion in developed countries?; to what extent does effective tax audit and investigation in developed countries enhance their tax revenue generation?. For developing countries, Nigeria as a case study, the methodology employed for data collection is only primary source, which involved the use of questionnaires, in which 48 questionnaire were administered to the members of staff Port Harcourt branch of Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) and all the questionnaire were returned. Conversely, for developed countries, a critical look was given to published journals and some published information on databases that have confirmed that tax evasion occurs less often in UK owing to effective tax audit and investigation. Such journals have equally confirmed that one of the reasons for increase in revenue derivable from tax is as a result of effective tax audit and investigation as well as reliable tax laws. A Simple random sampling technique was adopted in distributing 48 copies of questionnaire, which were returned. Presentation and analysis of primary and secondary data collected with questionnaire were done using table, charts and simple percentages. It was established that effective and efficient tax and investigation has not been optimally put in place in developing countries hence the rampant incidents of tax evasion and low revenue generated through tax administration systems in such countries. On the other hand, in developed countries such as UK, tax audit and investigation is effective and efficient and for that reason, higher revenue is generated and less incidents of tax evasion. The study therefore concludes that for increased revenue generation and prevention of tax evasion, reliable, efficient and effective tax audit and investigation should be put in place in both developing and developed economies. It is the recommendation of the study that developing countries urgently embrace functional audit and investigation exercises to increase their revenue base through taxation and prevent uncontrollable loss of revenue through tax evasion while developed countries should maintain and strengthen their tax audit and investigation activities for a sustained optimal performance.
