Impact Of Globalisation On Religious Tourism: The Case Of Vrindavan, India, Charlie Gupta, Ridhu Dhan Gahalot

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

The term ‘religious tourism’ refers to travel that is primarily inspired by spiritual beliefs (Smith, 2012). It serves as one of humanity’s oldest religious practices as well as one of the earliest examples of tourism (Timothy, 2011). Due in the main to the numerous sacred places that are dispersed throughout its vast geographic area, India, which is known for its rich heritage and culture, has attracted attention from throughout the world (Eck, 2011; Singh, 2013). As a result, it has become a well-known location for religious tourism. During the past ten years, this specific type of tourism has seen a …

Pipinos, Sara A. Myers, F. M. Alsaleem

Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications

This paper demonstrates the value of a framework for processing data on body acceleration as a uniquely valuable tool for diagnosing diseases that affect gait early. As a case study, we used this model to identify individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and distinguish them from those without PAD. The framework uses acceleration data extracted from anatomical reflective markers placed in different body locations to train the diagnostic models and a wearable accelerometer carried at the waist for validation. Reflective marker data have been used for decades in studies evaluating and monitoring human gait. They are widely available for many …

Zinc And Bismuth Additives' Impacts On The Physical Properties Of Lead-Free Alloys Used In Electronic Appliances, Hesham Elzanaty, Rizk Mostafa Shalaby

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The goal of the current analysis was to analytically inspect how the addition of zinc and bismuth would alter the binary structure of the lead-free solder Sn-5Sb. Binary arrangement results have been stretched to the ternary arrangements Sn–5Sb–XBi or XZn (0 ≤ X ≤ 4wt.%) solder that were composed through rapid solidification processing (RSP) using the melt–spun method. The created phases were revealed through metallographic study of the formed alloys using XRD. High elastic modulus E = 32.5 GPa and good electrical resistivity = 26x10-8 .m are two characteristics of binary Sn-Sb doped with Bi. The alloy Sn–5Sb–4Zn owns the …
