Many infrastructure projects such as highways, railways, water reservoirs, reclamation etc. require huge earth material. Various techniques of soil stabilization are widely used for the construction of road pavement and foundation construction to enhance engineering properties such as strength, volume, stability and durability. In this context, shear strength of soil deserves importance. Soil is a peculiar material. Some waste materials such as fly ash, rice husk ash, pond ash may be used to improve the stability of soil. Addition of such materials increases the physical properties of it. With a view to utilise another waste material (petroleum sludge) in this work, effect of petroleum sludge on shear strength of soil is examined in a limited time period of ten weeks. It has been found that shear strength of a slightly acidic clay soil is remarkably enhanced by petroleum sludge. The change in Unconfined Compressive Strength ranges from (-) 16.17% to 542.89% in this 70 days period of experiment. 3% petroleum sludge in soil gradually increases the shear strength of a soil from 0.31% in first week to 495.67% in ten weeks. Further, it has been found that the pH of the soil, containing 7% of the petroleum sludge, slightly decreases with time indicating possibility of degradation of remaining hydrocarbons. In spite of the possibility of biodegradation, there is 121.74% increase in the UCS value over the initial value of the shear strength of the polluted soil sample. The remarkable increase in UCS value of the soil under the influence of petroleum sludge needs further study in order to utilise it for improvement of soil engineering property and to mitigate the disposal problem of petroleum sludge.

They are known to be highly toxic to cells, mainly through their action on cell reproduction. Many have proved to be carcinogens, mutagens or teratogens. Patients receiving therapeutic doses of these drugs have exhibited many adverse effects, including cancers. All people who came in contact with cytotoxic drug...

Periodic Research   ( P: ISSN No. 2231-0045 RNI No. UPBIL/2012/55438 VOL.-7, ISSUE-4, May-2019 E: ISSN No. 2349-9435 )  Abstract   Anita Bhawaria  M.Sc. Student, Dept. of Home Science, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Kesar Chayal  Assistant Professor, Dept. of Home Science, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India The present study was an attempt to investigate the preference of information sources by agriculture farmers. Study was conducted in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. 75 respondents were selected through random sampling method for the study and personal interview technique was used for data collection. Data related to information source used by the farmers revealed that mobile phone was the most preferred source by the farmers (70.66%). Farming helping apps (56%), television (53.33%), internet (52%) and local leader /neighbors (41.33%) always used by the farmers for accessing agriculture information. Study further revealed th...
