Biosorption of Selected Heavy Metal Ions from A Multi-Metal Aqueous Solution using Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) Root Powder[ ]


Batch assessment of WATER HYACINTH (EICHHORNIA CRASSIPES) activated root powder as a potential bioadsorbent for the sorption of Cu (ll), Pb (ll), Zn(ll), Mn(lll) and Cd(ll) ions from a multi-metal aqueous solution, under various reaction parameters of initial metal ion concentration, PH and Contact time were studied at room temperature and pressure. The residual metal ions in solution were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS), 2008 model GF-3000 Australia. Data obtained were tested with Langmuir and Freundlich absorption isotherms models in order to determine the suitable model.

Experimental Study of Concrete with Glazed Hollow Beads as a Replacement of Fine Aggregate[ ]


In the field of construction concrete inevitable substance. The weight which the concrete possess is a greater demerit as greater weight increases the structural load the building has on the foundation. The glazed hollow beads are glass microspheres produced of soda-lime borosilicate a replacement material for the fine aggregates. Fine aggregates are natural elements present and for the concrete preparation they are being largely consumed which causes a depletion in these natural elements. Studies are being carried to determine fine aggregate replaced concrete which has the same properties of a normal concrete.

Similarity Detection among student’s queries: A Text Mining approach[ ]


Due to the pandemic situation it is difficult for student to query about admissions at university or colleges, as they cannot visit the college premises physically. Proposed research work focuses on processing student online queries related to admission process using text mining techniques. A query dataset along with the response to the query is developed i.e. query corpus. When students request a query, it is matched with query dataset for similarity. Here five different similarity measures viz. Jaccard, Cosine, Euclidean, Minkowski and Manhattan similarity measures are used. As per the similarity measures response is generated for students query. If query did not match with any record in the dataset then it is added to the dataset with response manually.
