The local bodies have been responsible for Solid Waste (SW) management services. However, over the years, various weaknesses in the institutional, financial and technical aspects, have led to inefficiency in the provision of services at various levels. These contracts with the increasing waste generation rates and environmental awareness among the general public. The local bodies are not collecting any fees and tax on SW management among the public.

Background & Objective: The main objective of the study is to determine the accuracy of MRCP over CT in the evaluation of patients with obstructive jaundice. Material & Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Radio Diagnosis, for a period of 1 and a half year from July 2015-December 2016. Thirty six patients were included in the study. All the patients were referred to the department of radio diagnosis with the clinical suspicion of obstructive jaundice and elevated serum bilirubin levels. CT and then MRCP were done in all the patients.

The present investigation is to provide information on the anatomical features of the stem of the plant Ludwigia perennis. The fresh stem was undertaken by rotary microtome and examined on photomicrographs, to find out identical characteristics.

This paper investigates spark electrical discharge machining (EDM) on super alloy Inconel 750. The tool used is copper electrode. The process performance is measured in terms of material removal rate, tool wear rate and also surface roughness (Ra). The input parameters like current, pulse-on time and pulse-off time are varied for each reading. Readings are taken as per Box Benhken experimental design. The tool wear and material removal rate are measured by using weight reduction method.

Background: This study intends to validate a construct of salesforce performance on Indonesia life insurance. Results: fromfactor analysis using principle component with varimax rotation, initially extracted threefactors solution. After measures of sampling adequacy (MSA) deletion, a single factor consisting of 27-itemssalesforce performance scale was established the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (KMO) for three dimensions solution is 0.946, with a significant Bartlett’s test of sphericy (Sig=0,000).

Background: Due to increasing incidence of human immunodeficiency virus infections, the incidence of tuberculosis is increasing. Haematogenous spread of tubercle bacilli results in miliary tuberculosis. Endotoxins and cytokines thus released in blood. These are part of innate immunity and may further stimulate synthesis and secretion of other mediators of innate immunity like nitric oxide (NOº) indifferent cells including platelets.

We documented 5 cases of japanese encephalitis. MRI and CT Brain were carried out on Philips 1.5T and Toshiba 16 slice machines respectively. Findings were noted in bilateral thalami, frontal white matter, corona radiata, posterior limb of internal capsule, posterior temporal lobe, substantia nigra, bilateral cerebellar hemisphere and vermis. Small hemorrhagic foci noted in bilateral thalami in 3 cases. Bilateral thalamic involvement, especially with hemorrhagic foci within it, are considered characteristic of Japanese encephalitis, especially in endemic areas.

Background: Many adolescents competing in sports focus on improving sport-specific skills, cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength to optimize athletic performance, while the role of proper hydration is often overlooked. This study aims to evaluate the fluid consumption pattern and perceived exertion among adolescent hockey players at National Hockey Academy, Sports Authority of India.

The Flexural strength of ferrocement panels was evaluated through laboratory investigation on flat ferrocement panels of size (550x200) mm with thickness of 20mm, 30 mm and 40mm. The mortar of 1:2.75 proportion with OPC of 53 grade and river sand of size passing through 4.75 mm IS sieve is used in this study. The water to cementitious ratio of 0.40 was maintained for all the mortars. Expanded Shape of steel Wire mesh of 1 mm thickness and opening of 15x30 mm was incorporated in the tension zone in one layer only, for this the samples were water-cured for 28 days.

Non renewable energy sources like fossil fuels are soon being depleted and in near future we will be faced with its extinction. Alternative energy sources which are renewable and are available in abundant quantity are required. Sun's insulation fits both the criteria. Hence there are emerging technologies focused on harvesting solar energy. Be it photovoltaic panels or concentrating panels, they aren’t most efficient if they are installed in a fixed position.
