Abstract:
With the increase in population, housing and construction of various facilities have been a problem with urbanization. Having exhausted all the trouble free hand, man is nowon the lookout for techniques to improve areas which were originally considered uninhabitable. Thus this study is based on the nature and engineering behavior of soft clays covering long stretches of coastal line and methods to improve their geotechnical properties .The main aim of the present investigation is to study in detail the physical and engineering behavior of the marine clays of Cochin. While it is well known that the marine clays have been posing numerous problems to foundation engineers all along, the relevant literature reveals that no systematic and comprehensive study has been attempted to date. The: knowledge gained through the study is suitably used to improve these properties with appropriate additives.

Abstract:
This thesis deals with the preparation and properties of two compounds of V-II family, viz.
bismuth telluride and bismuth oxide, in thin filmform. In the first chapter is given the resume of
basic solid state physics relevant to the work reported here. In the second chapter the different
methods of thin film preparationtia described. Third chapter deals with the experimental techniques used for preparation and characterization of the films. Fourth chapter deals with the preparation and propertiesof bismuth telluride films. In next four chapters, the preparation and properties of bismuth oxide films are discussed in detail. In the last chapter the use of Bi205 films in the fabrication of Heat mirrors is examined and discussed.

Abstract:
With the advent of urbanisation and consequent
search for more and more habitable land, it was imperative
that the large tracts of marine clays, considered inhabitable
earlier, had to be reclaimed and developed. These marine
clays, wellknown for its high compressibility and poor shear
strength, posed numerous problems to the builders and Cochin
was no exception. It is only less than a decade since active
research work was initiated on marine clays in general and
Cochin marine clays in particular. Eventhough some systematic
studies are available on compressibility characteristics,
attempts to study the shear strength aspects and development
of techniques to improve it have been very limited. This work
is an investigation on the consolidation and shear strength
characteristics of Cochin marine clays including methods to
improve the same

Abstract:
. The cotton mill industry is one of the important medium and
large-scale industries in the State of Kerala. Due to the widespread
development of the handloom industry in the State, there is an environment
conducive to the growth of cotton spinning mills which produce
yarn, the raw material required by the handloom industry. New spin—
ing mills are being commissioned. But the performance of the existing
cotton spinning and weaving mills in the State is not quite satisfactory.
Hence an analysis has been carried out into the profitability
and financial position of the industry in Kerala. The objective
of the study is to make a financial analysis of the industry covering
various aspects such as cost structure, productivity, asset structure,
financial structure and working capital management.

Abstract:
The method of preparation of ZnS phosphors doped with praseodymium and copper is given. The electroluminescence (EL) spectrum of ZnS:Pr,Cl has two broad bands at 470 and 570 nm. ZnS:Cu,Pr,Cl gives white emission with spectral peaks at 470, 520, 570 and 640 nm. The EL spectra of both types of phosphor exhibit a conspicuous colour shift as the frequency of the excitation voltage is varied. Detailed investigations show that the relative intensities of spectral peaks are strongly dependent on the frequency of the excitation voltage. The colour shift is explained on the basis of the Schon-Klasens model.

Abstract:
The thesis entitled Study on Accelerators in Rubber Vulcanization with Special Reference to the Binary Systems Containing Substituted Dithiobiurets. It includes a detailed study on the binary accelerator systems containing substituted dithiobiurets in natural rubber and NR latex and dithiobiurets in SBR and NR-SBR blends vulcanization systems. It deals with the experimental procedure adopted for the preparation of DTB-II and DTB-III; the procedure for compounding and vulcanization and determination of physical properties like modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness, compression set, heat build up etc. The results indicate that there is efficient acceleration activity of the dithiobiurets in the vulcanization of natural rubber latex containing TMT. The study of dithiobiurets in natural rubber and NR latex reveal that they are having definite accelerating effect in SBR vulcanization systems.

Abstract:
The present study brings out the influence of transport dynamics on the
aerosol distribution over the Indian region at a few selected geographically distinct
locations. Over the Bay of Bengal the dominant pathway of aerosol transport during the
pre-monsoon period is through higher altitudes (~ 3 km); directed from the Indian main
land. In contrast, the aerosol pathways over the Arabian Sea during the same period are
quite complex. They are directed from geographically different environments around the
ocean through different altitudes. However in general, the day-to-day variability of AOD at
both these regions is significantly influenced by the features of atmospheric circulation
especially, the wind convergence at higher altitudes (around 3 km). Over the Ganga Basin
during the winter period, the wind convergence at lower altitudes (< I km) govems the
shon term variations in AOD, while the mean AOD distribution at this location is mainly
governed by the local anthropogenic sources.

Abstract:
This thesis throws light on the influence of community in the social life of mankind. The study revolves round the fact that health care is by the people rather than health care is for the people. The thesis tries to analyze the role of community organizational social agencies in the control of Filariasis.The study examines the factors which influence community participation. and the effectiveness of health education in the control of Filariasis.the thesis emphasizes the effective tools and means of health education That helps to To evolve an appropriate method for the management of community Participation. The study shows that. A well informed community can participate successfully and meaningfully in disease control programmes.
