 Abstract

ABSTRACT The current study aimed to determine the physical properties of finger millet (FM) cultivars (GPU-48, Indaf-7, ML-365, and MR-1and MR-6). The moisture content; dimensional properties such as length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, and arithmetic mean diameter; physical properties such as one thousand (1000) sample weight, bulk density, true density, porosity, sphericity, aspect ratio, surface area, and sample volume; functional properties such as water absorption capacity (WAC), dispensability, and viscosity were determined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of FM cultivar varieties was also evaluated. Results revealed that ML-365 cultivar was higher than other samples in moisture content, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, arithmetic mean diameter, surface area and sample volume. Data showed that MR-6 was higher in viscosity cold paste and viscosity cooked paste than in other FM cultivars. SEM findings revealed that starch granules of raw FM flours had oval/spherical and smooth surface. In conclusion study findings are important for agricultural and food engineers, designers, scientists and processors in the design of equipment for FM grain processing. Results are likely to be useful in assessing the quality of grains used to fortify FM flour

Abstract Behavioral finance, a branch of finance that explores the influence of psychological factors on financial decision making, reveals a significant limitation in traditional finance models. Behavioral finance uses both psychology and finances to explain the rationale behind an investor behavior towards investment decision and also explains the market anomalies. India's favorable demographic patterns, such as its rising affluent middle class and aging population, should ensure robust utilization increase. Beside with these factors, factors such as treating gold as a major investment choice, the use of gold ornaments by the male and younger population, the widespread availability of credit facilities, and the increasing trend of industrial demand all contributed to the increase in gold demand. Consumer spending patterns in India vary significantly from those in the Western world and previous generations of Indians. Consumer preferences, shopping designs, preferred styles of stores and retail scenes, attire and style, and ways of investing their recreation and leisure time are all covered. However, there are particular differences in Indian utilization designs due to fast monetary turn of events. Therefore, the paper largely focuses on the investors behavioral aspects towards the gold investment in the select region and the methodology of the study is purely based on the primary data by conducting survey to identify customers' behavioral aspects on gold investment in the select region.

 Abstract

In recent trends, there's an rising strain regarding the provision of clean, consumable water. This problem especially arises in pastoral areas due to the ineffectiveness of the governments and the adding population in the country. Thus, this particular design aims to descry and display real- time physicochemical quality of the water in a much further cost effective manner, as opposed to the current styles which involve slice and laboratory styles, through its wireless,multi-sensor network. It takes into consideration multiple factors and presents this real- time quality through the IOT (internet of Things) of its EC (electrical conductivity), TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) as well as temperature of water that's being tested. Also, this remote controlled boat is especially designed for lakes, budgets, gutters etc. where we can not cover water quality in similar complicated scale water surroundings by just using a stationary system because water parameters vary at every single position. To avoid this, we selected a boat which can float and move on the water simply by 2.4 GHZ protocol. This structure is designed as a housing shape which minimizes the resistivity of water inflow and this shape also maintains the stability of water. This water quality monitoring boat includes an GPS (Global Positioning System) which gives the position of the point wherever boat hovers in the reservoir & simultaneously sends the live location of boat via GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication). All the results are generated and displayed with their readings and their graphical analogue measures through the opensource IOT platforms like Blynk/Thing speak, on with water's contaminations limitation points and its dangerous position announcement.

The study aimed to develop and evaluate a polyherbal shampoo preparation, comparing its physicochemical properties with both herbal and synthetic commercial counterparts. The objective was to create an Ayurvedic shampoo utilizing natural herbs and compounds, aiming for improved efficacy and safety compared to synthetic alternatives. Key components of the formulation included Shikakai, Reetha, and Amla, comprising 10% of the active ingredients. Citric acid was utilized for pH adjustment, while a minimal quantity of methyl paraben served as a preservative. Various tests were conducted to assess the physicochemical properties of the formulated and commercial shampoos, including visual inspection, pH determination, solid content percentage, foam volume and stability, surface tension measurement, detergency, and dirt dispersion analysis. The polyherbal shampoo exhibited clarity and visual appeal, along with satisfactory cleansing and detergency performance within five minutes of application. Additionally, it demonstrated low surface tension, small bubble size, and stable foam formation. Comparative analysis indicated that the formulated shampoo provided conditioning effects comparable to those of commercial counterparts, suggesting promising performance in conditioning aspects.
