Rapti main canal is a sub-project undertaken by Uttar Pradesh irrigation engineering department under the main project namely Saryu Nahar Pariyojna. This main project will provide irrigation to 12.0 lacs h.a. area (C.C.A) of districts Baharaich, Shravasti, Gonda, Balrampur, Basti, Siddharthnagar, Sant Kabir Nagar & Gorakhpur through 8240 km long distribution system. Whereas Rapti Main Canal is 125 km long and a capacity about 95 cumecs. Liquefaction potential at this site is evaluated and compared by calculating factor of safety against liquefaction (FS) along different depths of soil profile using SPT based different approaches as suggested by Seed & Idriss (1971), Idriss & Boulanger (2006), and Tokimatsu & Yoshimi (1983). Seeing the hazardous effects of recently occurred Nepal earthquake (Mw=7.9), this study is taken out by considering a moment magnitude of Mw=8.0. Since the study area consists of inorganic silt, silty sand, poorly graded sand and comparatively high water table which is susceptible to liquefaction

During the earthquake Soil liquefaction is the major concern for demolishing the structurealong the rivers, tributaries and the valley floors. This paper shows the evaluation of liquefaction potential using the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) at a project under the SaryuNaharPariyojna in the basins of Rapti River named as Rapti Main Canal in Balrampur areas. This is the leading distributary project which have a stretch of 125 km through the Balrampur, Behraich and Shravasti districts of Uttar pradesh. This area of Rapti Main Canalhaving a major concern about the soil Liquefaction due its soil behavior and water logging, here mostly we found sandy soil in saturated state. The objective of this paper is to evaluate soil liquefaction in term of factor of safety using method of Cone Penetration test given by the P.K. Robertson and C.E. (Fear) Wride in 1998 and updated work in Robertson 2009, CPT provide good evaluation of Liquefaction Potential due its continuous in nature

Information system security management is expected to be a high priority for organizational success, given that Information is critical both as input and output of an organization. Hence, there is need to have a secure information system to conduct any business related activities to ensure six objectives of information security: confidentiality; integrity; availability; legitimate use (identification, authentication, and authorization); auditing or traceability; and non-repudiation of the information. This study identified the objectives of information security, key human insider threats which affect information system security of Business organization and the level of information security policy compliance in organizations. The study was carried out in two Universities one private and another Public University where forty (40) Questionnaires were distributed and the findings showed Institutional data security (protecting company information assets) with mean of 3.79 and Employees (safety, satisfaction, retention) with mean of 3.00 which helps to motivate insider to feel part of organization were given law priority and Respondents also indentified Laptops ranked as number 1 (mean =3.91) as frequently used device in the institution to cause threat on institutional data security followed by Mobile phones ranked as Number 2(mean=3.75). The study also further discovered that Policies on cyber security (use of social medias e.g. face book) (mean=2.45) was not implemented, Policies on Bring Your Own Device to be used at the Institution (Mean =2.53) was not implemented and Data destruction policies for your Institutional data materials that contain sensitive information (mean=2.52) was not implemented. The following behaviors were ranked top which need to be worked on; usage of secondary storage devices like flash discs, CD, Hard disks (mean=3.88), Sharing of secondary storage devices like flash discs, CD, Hard disks (Mean=3.48) was also frequent and using of personally owned mobile devices to do office work (mean=3.27) was also ranked among the top behaviors
