 Abstract

Getting a microcontroller to classify human movement without any cloud dependency was the core challenge we wanted to tackle. The common assumption is that useful motion recognition requires a server somewhere in the loop -- our project was built around questioning that. The system we developed reads raw IMU output, feeds it into a quantized neural network running on the same chip, and produces a motion label in under 12 ms with no network involvement at all. We evaluated across five gesture categories (idle, wrist rotation, arm raise, horizontal swipe, vertical punch), drawing training data from eight participants across multiple recording sessions. Quantizing to INT8 brought us to 94.3% top-1 accuracy on the held-out test set -- only 1.5 percentage points behind the full-precision model. The complete firmware on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense came in at 62.7 KB, comfortably within the 256 KB available. One thing that genuinely surprised us during development was how unaffected inference was when we cut wireless connectivity entirely. Disabling the radio had no measurable impact on latency or accuracy. Everything we built -- includ- ing the parts that did not work out as planned -- is documented below.

 Abstract

Inflammatory conditions like redness, swelling, dermatitis and burns are commonly treated with synthetic topical anti-inflammatory formulations which may cause side effects when use for long time period. Cynodon dactylon is a medicinal plant traditionally known for its anti inflammatory properties. The study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of anti-inflammatory cream prepared using Cynodon dactylon. The formulation was developed to effectively use of water soluble phytoconstituents of the plant. The cream was evaluated for various physicochemical parameters like appearance, pH, viscosity, spreadability and homogeneity. Its anti-inflammatory activity was examined by using suitable in-vitro method and the results showed that the cream exhibited acceptable physicochemical properties. The anti-inflammatory effect is observed due to presence of compounds like flavonoids and phenolic compounds found in aqueous extract. Over all the study shows that the aqueous extract of Cynodon dactylon has strong potential for use in herbal anti-inflammatory cream as a safe and natural alternative for synthetic topical creams.

 Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of plyometric and core training combined with specific training on selected physiological variables among college men's cricket players. 45 male Cricket players were randomly selected as the subjects for this study from the age group 18- 25 years in the Erode district. The participants were trained in the plyometric group I (PG), the Core training group II (CG), and the control group. Each group consisted of 15 subjects. Separate linear regression models were used to evaluate the pre-post change in variables. All the subjects were informed about the nature of the study and were asked to cooperate till the end of the experiment and testing period. The experimental treatment, namely plyometric training and core training, was administered for a duration of 8 weeks, and the number of sessions per week was confined to three alternative days. Each session lasted 60 minutes, in addition to the regular schedule of the Cricket training, and both the training packages are presented in Appendices I and II, respectively. Statistically significant improvements in baseline scores in resting heart rate were comparable between the three groups of college Cricket players. resting heart rate improved by 76.46 in the plyometric training group, 77.40 in the core training group, and 80.06 in the control group. Additional research on long-duration intervention in elite players may help to establish the role of plyometric training and core training in conventional Cricket skills for training.

 Abstract

E. Forster attempts to enrich the anti-hostile communication between British colonizers and colonized Indians in his novel A Passage to India. The novel shows how cultural conflicts between British and Indians occurred repeatedly in India during the colonial period. The English in this novel see themselves as superior and treat the Indians with complete injustice. Finally, a British colonial presence in India was considered a very real possibility and gave rise to an ongoing cultural conflict. Forster illustrates the cultural clash between the British colonizers and the Indian colonized. The belief of British superiority over Indian culture creates a barrier to establishing personal relationships based on equality. This superiority complex and nationalist sentiment lead to cultural conflicts in India, emphasizing the damaging effects of colonialism on both colonizers and the colonized. This superiority has created a kind of otherness among Britishers for Indians. The West, according to Said, constructs the Orient as its "Other," an image that is fundamentally different and inferior, in order to bolster its own sense of self and justify its power.

 Abstract

Female infertility is rising globally due to delayed childbearing, metabolic disorders, lifestyle imbalance, environmental toxins, and inflammatory conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis. Contemporary management mainly focuses on hormonal correction and assisted reproductive techniques, often overlooking systemic co-factors, such as the overall health and lifestyle of the individual, which can significantly impact fertility outcomes. Ayurveda explains fertility through the principles of Rutu, Kshetra, Ambu, and Beeja, supported by balanced Vata and proper Agni. Disturbances in these components impair conception. Through individualized Prakriti-based management, Ayurveda emphasizes Nidana Parivarjana, Agni correction, Shodhana, Shamana, and Rasayana therapy to improve Dhatu quality, enhance reproductive potential, reduce oxidative stress, and strengthen overall vitality

 Abstract

Salinity is a major abiotic stress that significantly limits agricultural productivity, particularly in oilseed crops such as Arachis hypogaea L. The present study aimed to evaluate the physiological and biochemical responses of groundnut plants under individual and combined stress conditions of sodium chloride (NaCl) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO?). The experiment was conducted under controlled pot conditions with four treatments: control, ZnSO? stress, NaCl stress, and combined NaCl + ZnSO? stress. After 90 days of treatment, growth parameters, physiological attributes, and biochemical markers were assessed. Salinity stress significantly reduced plant growth, biomass, relative water content, and chlorophyll concentration due to osmotic imbalance and impaired photosynthetic efficiency. However, ZnSO? treatment enhanced biomass accumulation and chlorophyll content. Notably, combined treatment improved relative water content and maintained higher chlorophyll levels compared to NaCl stress alone, indicating a protective role of zinc. Proline accumulation further suggested improved osmotic adjustment under stress conditions. These findings demonstrate that zinc supplementation can effectively mitigate salinity-induced damage and enhance stress tolerance in groundnut.

 Abstract

This project focuses on designing and building a compact, multi-parameter biomedical monitoring system using the ESP32 microcontroller. The idea behind this work was to create a simple, low-cost device that can continuously track important health parameters, especially in situations where access to advanced medical equipment is limited or not practical. To achieve this, the system combines several commonly used biosensors. A MAX30102 module is used to measure heart rate and blood oxygen levels (SpO?) using photoplethysmography (PPG). For monitoring heart activity, an AD8232-based ECG sensor is included, while muscle signals are captured using a basic EMG sensor. In addition, a temperature sensor such as the DS18B20 is used to keep track of body temperature. Bringing all these sensors together allows the system to monitor multiple physiological signals at the same time. Both analog and digital signals from these sensors are handled by the ESP32. For signals like ECG and EMG, which are more sensitive to noise, simple signal conditioning techniques were applied. This included basic amplification and RC filtering to reduce interference from sources like power-line noise and body movement. The ESP32 reads these signals through its ADC channels, while digital data from the MAX30102 is obtained via I2C communication. Depending on the type of signal, a sampling rate between 100 and 500 Hz was used. To further improve signal quality, lightweight software filters such as moving average and bandpass filters were implemented. The system is capable of processing multiple inputs almost in real time, with reasonable synchronization across different channels. The measured values--such as heart rate (in BPM), SpO? levels, ECG waveform, EMG activity, and temperature--are displayed instantly on a small LCD or OLED screen. This makes it easy to view the data directly on the device without needing any external system. To extend its functionality, the ESP32's built-in Wi-Fi is used to send data to cloud platforms like Thing Speak or through an MQTT-based setup. This allows users or healthcare providers to monitor the readings remotely from anywhere with an internet connection. The communication is designed to be lightweight so that it does not significantly affect performance or power consumption. One of the main strengths of this system is its affordability and simplicity. Since it uses easily available components, the overall cost remains low, making it suitable for home monitoring, educational projects, or basic telehealth applications. Data transmission to the cloud was also reliable, with only minor delays observed. However, it is important to note that this system is intended as a proof-of-concept and is not a replacement for certified medical equipment. Overall, this project demonstrates how microcontrollers like the ESP32, when combined with low-cost sensors and IoT capabilities, can be used to build practical and accessible health monitoring solutions.
