Investigation of Culvert Settlement in Hyrcanian Forest Roads
Author(s)- Mehran Nasiri
ABSTRACT
Forest engineers and hydrologists regularly calculate design culvert dimensions for use in wildland road-stream crossings. This paper describes a study undertaken to assess the effects of geometric design of forest road and culverts on the rate of culvert settlement of Hyrcanian forest. For this purpose, were measured geometric specification of culvert and proceeded to design cross section using ROADENG software. Results showed increased the rate of settlement with increasing culvert length. So that, was found significant difference among culvert settlements in classes of 0.5 to 0.9 meter and more than 0.9 meter. A significant inverse relationship, with equation of Y = -21.2ln(x) + 19.01 (R² = 0.64) was found between culvert depth and the rate of culvert settlement. The rate of settlement in uphill is more than downhill and the cut and fill slopes has no effect on the rate of settlement. Also, high cross slope of road has an important effect on the rate of culvert settlement. Increased the rate of settlement with increasing culvert skew as compared to 90 degree. So that, there was significant difference between the rate of culvert settlement in classes of 0 to 5 degree and other classes. Thus, inspections should focus on the structural integrity of the road prism, drainage systems, road surface, and sediment control.

Important parameters of refrigerators considered during their purchase: An exploratory study in Guwahati city in India
Author(s)- Goswami.S
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to find out the importance of all these aspects as well as the overall importance of refrigerators among consumers. It was carried out through survey of 1000 users (consumers) of refrigerators. This study has revealed that refrigerators are highly important for the people because of the various important features and functions performed by them. Besides, it was also noticed that different parameters like price, cooling capability, anti germ capability, storage capacity, modern features, absence of bad odour, overall quality, user friendliness, warranty, after sales service, customer care, free home delivery, ease of maintenance (for users) as well as other parameters are considered while purchasing refrigerators. Almost all these parameters with the exception of storage capacity, overall quality, warranty, after sales service and ease of maintenance (for users) have influence on their perception regarding overall importance of refrigerators. Besides, it was also noticed that age group, marital status, educational qualification, monthly income and occupation of consumers have influence on their opinion regarding overall importance of refrigerators. However, it has been found from the survey that all companies selling refrigerators should emphasize on all these issues to improve their sales.

Determinants of Financial leverage in Indian Pharmaceutical Industry
Author(s)- Franklin John.S, Muthusamy. K
ABSTRACT
This paper attempts to explain the variables that influence the use of debt funds in the Indian Pharmaceutical industry .The results are broadly consistent with the previous research findings. Variables like interest, asset structure, retained earnings and intrinsic value of share are positively associated with leverage while cash flow and interest coverage bear negative association with leverage. Indian pharmaceutical Companies employ substantial amount of debt as is evident from debt-equity ratio as well as total debt to total assets ratio. The Indian pharmaceutical industry is growing at an annual growth rate of 20 per cent is evolving as one of the major industries in the world with its huge market and a great availability of skilled labour and improved laboratories

Comparison of Right-of-way in Mountainous and Valley Forest Roads
Author(s)- Mehran Nasiri
Abstract
The aesthetic quality of hyrcanian forest roadsides is influenced by a number of factors. Among these factors are right-of-way width, earth working (cut and fill slopes), adjacent land use, topography and existing vegetation. The main objectives of this study were to comparison of right-of-way in mountainous and valley forest roads. For this purpose, were measured real right of way and earth working limit using laser rangefinder and mapping index for each road. Results showed, there was significant difference between the earth working limit and real right of way in valley and mountainous forest roads (P< 0.05). Also, was found significant linear relationship, with equation of Y = 0.249X + 2.202 (R² = 0.69) between range slope and real right of way in mountainous forest road. The rate of earth working limit and real right of way increased with increasing range slope. Horizontal curve radius has an important effect on geometric design of road. So that, the rate of earth work limit decreased with increasing horizontal curve radius. Also, there was a significant linear relationship between horizontal curve radius and real right of way in mountainous (R² = 0.65) and valley (R² = 0.49) forest roads. According to results, right of way and earth working limit should be carefully selected, not only to minimize the total road cost but also to reduce the environmental impact and to improve driver safety.
Thermal Convection in Walters’ (Model B‘) Rotating Fluid Permeated With Suspended Particles and Variable Gravity Field in Porous Medium in Hydromagnetics
Author(s)-Sharma V, Rana G.C
Abstract
The thermal convection in Walters’ (Model B’) elastico-viscous rotating fluid permitted with suspended particles (fine dust) and variable gravity field in porous medium in hydromagnetics is considered. By applying normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation has been derived and solved numerically. For stationary convection, Walters’ (Model 
) elastico-viscous fluid behaves like an ordinary Newtonian fluid and it is observed the rotation has stabilizing effect and suspended particles are found to have destabilizing effect on the system, whereas the medium permeability has stabilizing or destabilizing effect on the system under certain conditions. The magnetic field has destabilizing effect in the absence of rotation, whereas in the presence of rotation, magnetic field has stabilizing or destabilizing effect under certain conditions. The effect of rotation, suspended particles, magnetic field and medium permeability has also been shown graphically. It is observed that the rotation, magnetic field, gravity field, suspended particles and viscoelasticity introduce oscillatory modes.

Fuzzy Risk Analysis Model for Construction Projects
Author(s)- Pejman Rezakhan
ABSTRACT
Compared with many other industries, the construction industry is subject to more risk due to the unique features of construction activities. Risk management aims at identifying sources of risk and uncertainty, determining their impact, and developing appropriate management response. A systematic process of risk management has been divided into risk classification, risk identification, risk analysis and risk response. The ability of a fuzzy system to explain its reasoning process is shown to have definite applicability within the field of risk analysis. Also fuzzy set theory is highly subjective and related to inexact and vague information which we deal in construction projects. This paper describes the development of a fuzzy risk analysis model to assess the risks associated with construction projects. At the end of paper, the proposed model is used to assess the associated risk with a construction operation based on evaluations of three evaluators. The results derived from this model indicate a systematic and effective way for risk analysis.

A Novel approach to the Identification of Urban Sprawl Patches based on the Scaling of Geographic Space
Author(s)-Xintao Liu, Bin Jiang
ABSTRACT
This paper introduces a novel approach to identifying urban sprawl patches based on the statistics of blocks and natural cities under the principle of scaling of geographic space. Blocks are the minimum cycles decomposed from a road network and the important geographic elements in the process of urbanization. Scaling of geographic space refers to the phenomenon that small geographic objects are far more numerous than large ones. In this study, the measurements of block area, morphology and structure are found to demonstrate scaling property and follow heavy tailed distributions. Because of this, the mean values of these measurements can clearly divide all blocks into a two-level hierarchical structure, of which each hierarchy represents different geographical implications. For instance, small blocks imply the urban area while large ones imply rural area. Based on these findings, an improved method is proposed to aggregate the small blocks into natural cities in Texas. We further identify the abnormal blocks inside the natural city of Dallas, Texas as sprawling blocks, which constitute what we call urban sprawl patches. Multiple levels of urban sprawl are classified by performing the above process iteratively. This approach provides a quantitative and natural way to assess urban sprawl in the context of the urban environment.
