 Abstract

A comparative study was undertaken with an aim to compare morpho-anatomical characters with special emphasis on trichomes, stomatal index and stomatal patterns in some selected members of the family Sterculiaceae, which may be useful in species identification and to evaluate their significance in the taxonomy of the genus. The different taxa under investigation were Melochia corchorifolia Linn., Sterculia balanghas Linn., Kleinhovia hospita Linn., Guazuma ulmifolia Lamk. and Helicteres isora Linn. Even though this family has many similarities, members show remarkable variations in morphology, anatomy and stomatal index. There is observable difference in morphological features such as presence or absence of staminoids, presence of gynophore/androphore, number and arrangements of stamens etc. A small amount of variation was observed in the anatomy and variations present in the type of trichomes. By evaluating both morphological and anatomical characters the author is of the opinion that the members of the family are distinct morphologically and they show few variations among anatomical features and stomatal index.

 Abstract

For years, nature has been considered integral to human existence. The world has looked at nature from all perspectives, as a savior, as a destroyer, and even as a divine being. In India, nature has been worshiped profusely; natural elements have been seen as manifestations of legends, myths, and folktales that have been ingrained in the mindset of the Indian population. For instance, rivers like the Brahmaputra, Ganga, and Yamuna all have religious connotations attached to them, apart from being water sources. Similarly, mountains and forests are often associated with stories of divine beings. This research paper aims to look at the representation of nature in north-east Indian literature, specifically the Nagaland region as depicted in Easterine kire's novels when the river sleeps and Son of the Thundercloud, through an ecocritical lens.

 Abstract

Counterfeit goods have become increasingly important in the creation of products in recent years. The companies' sales and profit are impacted by this phenomenon. Product counterfeiting is prevented by using a functional block chain technology, which guarantees the identification of genuine products along the supply chain. By employing block chain technology, customers may reliably determine the product's origins without depending on reliable third parties. Any application that makes use of block chain technology as its foundational technology guarantees "tamper-resistant" data content. Considering that a block chain is a distributed, decentralized, digital ledger that keeps track of public transaction records called blocks across numerous databases and networks. The problem of product counterfeiting has been addressed in the past by the development of several techniques. The most popular methods include RFID tags, artificial intelligence, and systems based on QR codes. However, there were a few issues with each of them: artificial intelligence uses CNN and machine learning, which are computationally intensive; a QR code can be copied from a legitimate product and used on a phony one, and some other issues. By tracking the origins of the supply chain, this research aims to improve the detection of counterfeit items. This is made feasible by blockchain technology, which ensures the identification and tracking of authentic products across the supply chain. Everything in a blockchain-based system is decentralized and available to multiple parties at once.

 Abstract

HPLC is one of the most important analytical techniques used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the compounds. It works on the principle of adsorption where there are two phases one is stationary phase and the other one is the mobile phase. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is in charge of ensuring the security, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceuticals for humans and animals, biological products, medical equipment, food supplies in the country, cosmetics, and radiation-emitting goods in order to safeguard public health. When a medication is approved by the FDA, it indicates that the FDA has concluded that the drug is safe and effective for the intended use. When the medication is taken as prescribed by a licensed professional, its advantages exceed its drawbacks. The present review highlights the HPLC methods developed for recently approved US-FDA drugs.

 Abstract

: In the contemporary music landscape, it's a fallacy to believe that only those with expert knowledge in music can create high-quality tunes. Music enthusiasts, regardless of their expertise, can produce music that resonates. Music is a universal language that many enjoy, and the advent of automatic music generation stands as a potential revolutionary milestone in the music industry. Traditionally, music was created manually using analog processes. However, recent advancements have seen music production pivot towards digital methodologies, with technology playing a supporting role alongside human creativity. This paper outlines the development of generative neural network frameworks capable of capturing the intricate aspects of harmony and melody autonomously. It provides a concise overview of music's fundamental characteristics, citing relevant sources where necessary. The core aim of the research is to develop a method for generating musical compositions using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks within the framework of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). The generated compositions are initially in ABC notation, a method for music representation, which is subsequently transformed into MP3 format for broader accessibility. ABC notation serves as the chosen format for training the model, splitting into metadata that details the characteristics of the music, such as index, time signature, default note length, and tune type, and the actual musical notes represented by a series of characters. The algorithm is designed to master the patterns of monophonic music through a trio of single-layered LSTM networks, showcasing its ability to learn and replicate musical sequences efficiently.

 Abstract

In this paper, we are given a graphical presentation of the Falkner-Skan equation for the study of two-dimensional permeable steady boundary-layer viscous over a flat plate in the presence of Non-Newtonian power-law fluid and it is presented by a power-law model. Similarity transformation techniques are used to convert the boundary layer equations into a third order nonlinear differential equation. An equation containing three flow parameters like m is power-law relation parameter, omega is the porous parameter and beta is the Stream-wise pressure gradient. We converted the third order nonlinear differential equation into third order linear differential equation by using Quasi -linearization techniques. Results are obtained for the velocity profile, viscosity profile, and skin frictions for the value of physical parameters are discussed in brief.

 Abstract

The struggles of the LGBT+ community has been a never-ending war for their peaceful existence; the fight for the welfare of the community has been on the streets of New Delhi since 1992 under the leadership of AIDS Bhedbhav Virodhi Andolan. Even with sexual diversity of individuals being a remarkable feature of Indian History, today heterosexuality has been made the norm which resulted in other sexual orientations considered wrong and inferior. Any individual with a different sexual orientation has been subjected to violence, discrimination, ostracization, etc. but studying further, it has been observed the existence of the community is not made difficult by the non-LGBTQ+ people but many a times the members of the community themselves are involved in the violence, discrimination, etc. of the other members due to various reasons. This research has been based on the existing literature, articles and research papers and aims to study the unseen challenges that the community faces daily, the history of the LGBTQ+ Movements in India and the role of the general community in working for the welfare of the community.

 Abstract

India boasts a rich tapestry of ancient knowledge systems, encompassing diverse fields like mathematics, astronomy, medical science, yoga, and philosophy. However, historical and social structures have often created a gender gap, limiting women's access to and participation in this vast heritage. This paper delves into how education and technology can bridge this gap and empower women as active participants in preserving, reinterpreting, and transmitting this invaluable cultural legacy. The paper also highlights the transformative potential of education and technology within the Indian knowledge system to empower women and bridge the persistent gender gap. By exploring innovative approaches and initiatives, this paper examines how leveraging traditional wisdom alongside modern tools can create pathways for women's empowerment, social inclusion, and sustainable development in India. From the analysis of literature historical perspectives, socio-cultural dynamics, and policy perspectives on education for women empowerment are highlighted. Multifarious utilization of technology for gender equality, integration of indigenous knowledge systems into formal education to empower women as knowledge holders or change agents to address the root causes of gender inequality have also been analyzed in this paper. The paper concludes that bridging the gender gap and empowering women in the Indian context requires a holistic and multi-dimensional approach that combines education, technology, and indigenous knowledge systems. By investing in inclusive and equitable education systems, promoting digital inclusion and innovation, and harnessing the wisdom of India's diverse cultural heritage, we can create an enabling environment for women's empowerment and social transformation.
