Disaster management and its importance: A review paper of Dakshina Kannada and Kodagu districts, Karnataka, India
(Institute of Physics, 2023) Jayaprakash, M.C.; Reddy, D.V.; Istijono, B.
An extreme occurrence within the earth's system that causes human fatalities, injuries, and property destruction is referred to as a "disaster"from a social perspective. Disaster management is one of the most critical topics around the world. Many countries are getting affected because of its high magnitude impact on economy and loss of life. The Karnataka government must always be on guard and ready to meet problems due to the frequent natural disasters like landslides, floods, droughts, and human-induced dangers. In order to lessen the effect of disasters on the community, the Government of Karnataka has built enhanced institutional structures for disaster risk reduction. The main aim of the review paper of this, is to create awareness about the situations occurring due to any form of disasters and to develop preparedness in younger generation to face disaster situations.

Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution: An Approach of Environmental Friendly Activated Carbon
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH info@springer-sbm.com, 2021) Jayaprakash, M.C.; Chaitra, M.; Rai, P.; Venkat Reddy, D.
Methylene blue (MB) dye was adsorbed on an adsorbent prepared from cashew nut shell. A batch adsorption study was carried out with variable adsorbent amount, initial dye concentration and contact time. Studies showed that as the contact time increases relatively there will be an increase in the removal of methylene blue from the aqueous solution. There was also a comparative increase in the removal of dye with the increase in dosage of adsorbent. As the concentration of MB dye increased the percentage of removal of MB from the aqueous solution decreased for a given particular dosage. The results indicate that cashew nut shell activated carbon could be employed as a low-cost alternative to commercial activated carbon in the removal of dyes from wastewater. This work offers an economic incentive to the industrial practice for waste management and eco-friendly approach for removal of toxic dyes from textile waste water.

Study on lateritic soil stabilization with lime and OPC for sustainable development
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2023) Jayaprakash, M.C.; Shashwathi, S.; Istijono, B.; Reddy, D.V.
The worldwide concern for cleanup, protection and enhancement of the environment has development of a sub discipline within the field of geotechnical engineering; namely Geo-environmental, which is concerned with the application of geotechnical engineering to environmental control. It is within this area that the concepts of stabilization, solidification and reuse of waste lime in geotechnical engineering works are popularly encountered. The cost of the construction materials has rapidly increased and hence stabilization of soil using admixtures becomes Cost effective and eco-friendly blocks. Thus waste natural lime (egg/sea shell) considerably promise to reduce the cost of construction or alternative material that would be suitable for construction activities and also reduces the disposal problem and hence reduces contamination of soil and water.
