“…The tests carried out with different percentage of fly ash indicated that the workability is maximum with 25% fly ash. Also, the dry density observed is maximum for 25% fly ash [4]. There was a considerable change in the CBR value of the treated soil.…”

The use of naturally available unsuitable soils in the construction of roads will open new avenues in the construction industry. The process of making the naturally available unsuitable soil being suitable is known as soil stabilisation. Black cotton (BC) soil is highly expansive in nature when gets in contact with water, thus making it unsuitable for construction. The unsuitability of BC soil can be changed by making the soil water repellent and exhibiting high bond strength. This can be achieved by application of Terrasil and Zycobond (A Zydex product) when added to soil mixed with water. It improves the bond strength between the soil particles and creates a protective layer by permanently changing the soil properties. It increases the California Bearing ratio of the soil mass exponentially over a period of time thus, making it suitable for infrastructure projects and high chances to be used as non-expansive BC soil in infrastructure development. This paper demonstrates the use of organosilane based nano materials and nano acrylic co-polymer to convert expansive BC soil into nonexpansive BC soil by stabilisation. This will have substantial impact on the use of naturally available unsuitable material which can be made suitable by stabilisation process.

“…The cheapest one mentioned in Section 2, ReWalk, would cost about 70,000 dollars [8]. Besides, customizing every exoskeleton for different patients owing to their unique degrees of injuries or body shapes would be an extravagance [5], and violate the initial intention of inventing this technology, which was to help ease financial strains and reduce the cost of health care [11]. Furthermore, the lack of appropriate practical applications for exoskeletons hinders their further development.…”

“…The mechanism is directed by the notion of brain plasticity and human motor learning, and patients will achieve improvement or even recovery of motor function by progressively regaining the capability of motion control through repetitive motion and feedback simulation [4]. With the aid of an exoskeleton, patients can acquire basic abilities like grabbing, walking, climbing stairs and sitting down, which dramatically enhances the quality of their everyday life [5]. This paper will firstly examine two main variations of the powered exoskeleton, including their working principles and operations, before analysing its benefits and drawbacks in comparison to currently available conventional rehabilitation equipment, it will also discuss its emerging problems, and finally, it will discuss its challenges and prospects, along with any improvements that are practical to make.…”

The two most common causes of immobility that cause significant problems in everyday life are SCI and stroke. Recent research suggests that robotic exoskeletons may be able to help patients regain their motor function. This paper will evaluate existing exoskeleton suits, compare their functionality, and analyse their benefits and drawbacks compared to conventional rehabilitation equipment. It will also discuss the challenges it is encountering. It is discovered that the exoskeleton suit still requires more useable applications and precise design to meet clinical and domestic use.
