Does a new understanding of our nation impact our teaching and study of American art? How do you feel about the idea of a national narrative? Have you been challe
Sediment traps are crucial elements for flood protection in mountain rivers with high sediment transport capacity.Existing structures often interrupt the channel connectivity.Ideally, a sediment trap should be permeable for bed load during non-hazardous floods and ensure sediment retention during hazardous discharges.A new sediment trap concept, fu
All the leading cities in the world are slowly becoming inhospitable for human life with global warming playing havoc with the living conditions.Biomineralization of carbon dioxide using carbonic anhydrase (CA) is one of the most economical methods for mitigating global warming.The burning of fossil fuels results in the emission of large quantities
Coal-based thermal power plants all over the world facing serious problems of handling and disposal of the ash produced.The productive use of coal Bottom Ash (BA) is the best way to alleviate the problems associated with its disposal.This paper covers the studies on laboratory scale evaluation of vibro compaction concrete blocks using BA I, BA II &
