General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Data Provides A Standardized And Rich Source Of Spatio-temporal Information Related To Transit Schedules, Routes, Stops, And Frequencies, Making It Highly Suitable For Fine-grained Travel Time Estimation At The Street Level. This Paper Presents A Wavelet Tree And Support Vector Regression (SVR) Model For Forecasting Street Level Travel Time Employing GTFS Features. The WBPST Model Has Been Used For Filtration While The SVR Model Has Been Used For Pattern Recognition. The Results Show That The Proposed Model Attains An MAPE Of Just 2.44% At 68 Iterations. The Model Also Predicts The Level Of Congestion With An MAPE Of 2.14%. The Model When Compared With Existing Benchmark Models Can Be Seen To Improve Upon The Existing Results. Read more Read less

The Present Study Investigates The Association Between Gut-associated Bacteria Of The Freshwater Apple Snail Pila Globosa And Their Role In Lignocellulose Digestion. Cellulolytic And Hemicellulolytic Bacteria Were Isolated From The Gut Using Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Agar Medium And Subjected To Sequential Screening Based On Colony Morphology, Enzyme Activity, And Cellulose Liquefaction Ability. Two Promising Bacterial Isolates, Designated PS1 And PS2, Were Selected For Detailed Characterization. Submerged Fermentation Studies Were Carried Out To Evaluate Extracellular Enzyme Production, And Growth Dynamics Along With PH Variation Were Monitored Over Time. Molecular Identification Based On 16S RRNA Gene Sequencing Revealed That Isolate PS1 Belonged To The Genus Bacillus, While Isolate PS2 Was Affiliated With The Genus Klebsiella. Both Isolates Exhibited The Ability To Produce Cellulolytic And Hemicellulolytic Enzymes, Including CMCase, FPase, And Xylanase, With Enzyme Production Closely Associated With The Active Growth Phase. Zymogram Analysis Further Confirmed The Presence Of Extracellular Enzyme Systems Involved In Cellulose Degradation. The Results Highlight The Functional Role Of Gut-associated Microbial Consortia In Facilitating Lignocellulose Digestion In Pila Globosa And Suggest The Potential Of These Bacterial Isolates As Sources Of Industrially Relevant Enzymes Read more Read less

Subgrade Soil Failure Due To Insufficient Strength, Weak Bearing Capacity, Excessive Deformation And Desiccation Cracking Of Problematic Soils Is Commonly Observed On The Road Network, And This Leads To Huge Expenditure In The Maintenance And Repair Of Highway Projects Every Year. It Is Necessary To Reduce These Engineering Problems And Economic Losses Through Environmentally And Economically Friendly Methods. Previous Studies Have Shown That Randomly Distributed Fibers Can Significantly Improve Various Soil Properties. However, There Is A Lack Of Comprehensive Study On The Engineering Properties Of Fiber Reinforced High Plastic Clay. Also, Limited Mechanical Models Have Been Proposed For Predicting The Shear Strength Behaviour Of Fiber Reinforced Clay. In Order To Investigate These Problems, A Series Of Laboratory Investigations Including Compaction, Bearing Capacity, One-dimensional Consolidation, Linear Shrinkage, Desiccation Cracking, Direct Tensile Strength, Compression Tests Should Be Conducted On Unreinforced And Coir Fiber Reinforced Clay. For This Study, The Soil Samples Were Prepared With Different Proportions Of RBI Grade-81 I.e. (2%, 4%, 6% And 8% Of Soil) Respectively. After That The Coir Fibers In Different Ratio I.e. 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% And 2% Respectively Will Be Added To The Sample Containing Suitable Content Of RBI Grade-81.
