  Abstract
  Estimation of Peak Flood (PF) for a given return period is considered as one of the most important parameters for planning and design of hydraulic structures, river protection works, development of integrated water resources management projects, etc. This can be achieved by adopting various approaches viz., flood frequency analysis, rational method, empirical equation, envelope curve and Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) approach. In this paper, SUH approach is adopted for estimation of PF for the ungauged catchments wherein rainfall depth (i.e., 24-hour maximum rainfall) becomes an important parameter. This can be determined through Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) by fitting Gumbel probability distribution to the Annual Maximum Rainfall (AMR) series that is derived from the daily rainfall data. Parameters of the distribution are determined by maximum likelihood method and used for estimation of rainfall. Goodness-of-Fit tests viz., Anderson-Darling and Kolmogorov-Smirnov are applied for checking the adequacy of fitting Gumbel distribution to the AMR series. The rainfall depth is computed by multiplying the estimated 1-day maximum rainfall with 1.15 and used as an input for estimation of PF. The paper presents the procedures adopted in estimation of PF for the ungauged catchments of Suketi Khad using SUH approach and the results obtained thereof.

  Abstract
  The objectives of our study is to analyse and to correlate ground ozone with meteorological parameters, we realise that the ground ozone over Kigali is directly proporitional to the solar intensity especialy when the air temperature is less or equal to 19oC but when the air temperature exceed this range the reverse process take place, here the ground concentration of ozone start to reduce but R2 is very low this implies that there is a minimum probability to occur. For wind speed ranging from 2 to 2.81 m/s the ground concentration of ozone is inversely proportional to the solar intensity and when wind speed is above 2.81m/s ambient ozone increases as solar radiation increase. For lower level of wind speed (2 to 2.81 m/s) the ambient ozone concentration increases as atmospheric relative humidity increase and contrary when the wind speed level are greater than 2.81m/s the ambient ozone concentration decreases by increasing of atmospheric relative humidity. The average wind speed recorded was at 3.7402 m/s with calm condition of 0%. The dominant wind direction was westsouth with frequency of 31% followed by southeast and southwest wind with frequency of about 20.2% with maximum wind speed of 6 – 7.62 m/s. The southwest, southeast, south, west or east sources disperse pollution in north, northwest, northeast region during July to September 2020. In particular to ground ozone contained in wind speed recorded at lower lever of 10.3ppb to 20.2ppb was at 4.3217 m/s with the westerly, westsouth, southeast dominant direction with frequency of about 18%, 30%. And for other levels greater than 20.2 ppb, the ambient ozone was generally transported from several direction including west, southwest, south, southeast, and easterly direction with maximum wind speed of 6 – 7.62 m/s.

  Abstract
  The current article follows Hyland’s model to identify and further examine textual discrepancies reflected by the usage and recurrence of hedging devices. More specifically, articles composed by language scholars of both genders were chosen in this study to draw a gender-based comparison based on the analysis of article sections that may comparatively contain recurring hedges. To this end, sixty-six academic papers published over the last few years in well-organized journals were first reviewed on a random basis. Then, the introductions and discussions that were written by male and female scholars were selected and studied separately to record the frequency of hedges. Finally, the distribution, forms, categories and functions of hedging devices were analyzed in the highlighted sections with reference to Hyland’s model. The findings indicate asymmetric preferences in utilizing hedges, lexical verbs, adjectives and modal verbs among highly competent male and female authors. The results also contradict the general assumption in gender-linked studies of language conducted previously which suggested that hedges are characteristic of women’s language or appear mainly in their discourse.

  Abstract
  Migration is as old as human existence. The human tendency to migrate for a better life has been described by many scholars in different ways. The movement of the young minds of India towards the southern part of the country has increased rapidly. An amalgamation of low labour force growth and high economic growth in southern cities has caused an increase in labour demand, which amplified the migration of north Indian people towards south Indian cities for better livelihood opportunities. After 2000, the people from north eastern tribes’ states started moving out of their states. The large-scale migration from northeast India for metropolitan cities in the last two decades makes north easterners social excluded in the so-called mainland of India. The ethnic minorities from north eastern tribes India are racially and culturally distinct from the rest of India. This visible difference in terms of race and cultures separates the northeast migrants from the rest of the Indians. They are judged for their physical appearances and attires and experience high levels of racial discrimination and related violence in various parts of India. The current study analyses the level of Social Exclusion and Quality of Life of Poumai Naga tribes (a separate tribe in Manipur and Nagaland) who have migrated to Chennai. The study population consists of employed who are above 18 years of age and belongs to the Poumai Naga tribe. The respondents were selected purposively from the various parts of Chennai city. The study addresses the discrimination faced by the north-eastern tribes who have migrated to Chennai in terms of basic social rights, inadequate normative integration, inadequate social involvement, and inadequate access to material deprivation. The paper also emphasizes the level of Quality of life concerning the social, psychological, physical, and environmental domains of the respondents.

  Abstract
  The research based on achieving the required objective. The material such as M-Sand and Steel Fiber leads to major variation in strength parameters of concrete. The objective is to achieve required charactertics such as strength, durability and workability in an economical manner. Due to the scarcity to natural sand in the manufacturing of concrete the alternate material is used such as Manufactured Sand which leads to economical and increase in strength parameters. The addition of different types of steel fibers such as crimpled steel fibers leads to increase in strength of concrete. In this research paper M-Sand is replaced by Natural Sand completely along with different proportion of crimpled steel fibers i.e. 0.00%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 1.50%, & 2.00% as different mix with nominal coarse aggregate and OPC 43 grade of cement. The concrete prepared will be of M25 grade concrete by adopting IS code method. With varying percentage of steel fibre in addition to M-Sand the proportion have varying strength. The test on compressive and flexural strength for 07 & 28 days curing. So the percentage addition of crimped steel fibre will be 1.5%, with replacement of fine aggregate by 100% M-Sand showed good strength parameters by analysing the overall results.

  Abstract
  The development of petrol filling stations is one of the features of urbanised and motorised societies. However, for the purpose of environmental, health and safety considerations, the development of petrol filling stations must be done in accordance to established standards. The study aims at investigating the level of development control compliance among petrol filling stations in Minna, Nigeria with a view to evolving pragmatic solutions for ensuring development control effectiveness with regards to the location of petrol filling stations in Nigeria at large. Twelve petrol filling stations were selected for the study using the purposive sampling approach. Both descriptive and inferential analytical techniques were adopted for the study and data analysis was conducted with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences. This study revealed that, with the exception of distance from the location of petrol filling stations to residential areas, the location of petrol filling stations in Minna complies considerably with the development control minimum standards for the development of fuel stations. However, it is worrisome to note that petrol filling stations in Minna defy the standard minimum distance from abutting residential areas. The study, therefore, suggests the need for more proactive site inspection among the town planning and built environment professionals, enlightenment of the developers and owners of petrol filling stations on the dangers of developing petrol filling stations close to residential areas and enforcement of strict penalties for contravention of planning standards with regards to the setting-up of PFS.

  Abstract
  Thermodynamics most important contribution is in deciding whether or not a given imaginable mechanism is feasible. Its famous first and second laws offers insights into the technological / marketing impact on waste production as well as conversion processes. Thermodynamics responds to this question through the concept of entropy and its related variables. Thermodynamics addresses this issue through harvesting energy from produce waste. This Waste to Wealth can be viewed not only as a potential alternative source of energy to feed energy greed, but also is an alternative way to protect environment from any harm from created waste. This paper explores how the potential utility of the Waste to Wealth -based chain method is required to resolve the increasing energy demands and also can lead to major environmental problems being solved. These thermodynamic variables impact study suggested a low entropy change based chain technological process, which does not only help in energy demand but also environmentally friendly and economically feasible. The quantity of residue produced in such a process is either can be reuse or have impact under environment tolerance limits.

  Abstract
  The discovery of non-flowing oil wells poses a significant challenge to the Oil and Gas industry’s quest for a cost-effective, profitable, and safe business of maximizing production from producing wells. Production from such wells requires the application of an artificial lift system to supplement or maintain reservoir pressure, which is generally seen as the major factor for a non-flowing well condition. It is, however, necessary to troubleshoot a non-flowing well by conducting diagnostic analyses on both the reservoir and well parameters, in order to determine the actual parameter(s) accountable to the state of a non-flowing well condition. This work considers water-cut, reservoir pressure, and reservoir temperature as the major parameters in conducting integrated diagnostic analyses on a non-flowing well. Two case scenarios were studied on the well – conducting diagnostic analyses on the non-flowing well, and application of a Hydraulic Driven Downhole Pump on the same well. Results of the first case scenario shows that reservoir pressure was the dominant factor for a non-flowing condition in the well as a reservoir pressure of 3611.11psig enabled the well to flow even at an operating envelope of a water-cut value of 73.333% and a near reservoir temperature of 266.667°F, with respect to the given reservoir temperature of 250°F. At such operating envelope, the well produced at an oil rate of 1039.2 STB/day, gas rate of 0.41567 MMscf/day, water rate of 2857.8 STB/day, and a liquid rate of 3896.9 STB/day. In the second case scenario, the well flows even at a low reservoir pressure of 888.889 psig, producing at an oil rate of 962.8 STB/day, a gas rate of 0.38511 MMscf/day, a water rate of 3851.1 STB/day, and a liquid rate of 4813.9 STB/day. At reservoir pressures higher than 888.889 psig, the well yields higher oil production rates.

  Abstract
  The study aims to investigate the relationship between information and communication technology development and the economic region. The method used in this study is the panel regression model. The data source was obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), namely the index of information and communication technology development as a proxy for the development of information and communication technology and regional gross domestic product based on current per capita prices as a proxy for regional economies. There is also a method used in this research is panel regression. The results of this study conclude that modeling the relationship between information and communication technology development and the regional economy is a fixed-effect model. Based on the model, information can be obtained that the development of information and communication technology has a positive and significant effect on the regional economy. Therefore, the right policies and programs are needed to improve the development of technology and information, especially the improvement and equitable distribution of infrastructure.
