 Abstract

The heart is an astoundingly faithful creation of nature. Its gentle thumping accompanies us for the duration of our lives, and it is so central to human existence that for much of recorded history, it has served as a symbol of not only life but also love, emotion, intelligence and reason. The heart is one of the most vital organ of our body. It's the organ in the middle of our circulation system, pumping blood around the body as it beats. Coronary Artery Disease is the irreversible necrosis of heart muscle secondary to prolonged ischemia. This usually results from an imbalance in oxygen supply and demand, which is most often caused by plaque rupture with thrombus formation in a coronary vessel, resulting in an acute reduction of blood supply to a portion of the myocardium

 Abstract

The high demand for PV systems is because they generate electricity without harming the environment by transforming solar radiation straight into electricity. Solar radiation, on the other hand, is never continuous. Throughout the day, it fluctuates. The necessity of the hour is to provide a constant voltage to the stand-alone system of temperature and solar irradiance change. In this paper, performance of both MPPT algorithm Perturb & Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance method are discussed. The major goal of this paper is to use the perturb and observe method to efficiently extract the greatest power by varying irradiance and temperature. In this paper MATLAB based simulation results of Perturb & Observe method are obtained under various conditions such as constant solar radiation, constant temperature and varying both solar radiation and temperature.

 Abstract

Involuntary urine passing during sleep after the age at which bladder control would typically be expected is known as enuresis or bedwetting (Shayyamutra).It's important to distinguish enuresis from dribbling or intermittent or persistent incontinence. Most of the time, emotional and behavioral reasons are the main cause of enuresis. Additionally, it may be brought on by food allergies, apnea, chronic constipation, obstructive sleep, urinary tract infections, etc. Ayurveda emphasizes the value of both psychological and pharmaceutical treatment for the illness. The pathology of Shayyamutra may be reversed by a medication that is nervine tonic (psychotherapy) and has the ability to improve bladder control and tone of the bladder muscles with Grahi, Stambhana, and Mutrasangahnia qualities. Shayyamutra, is not medically dangerous, it has a detrimental psychological impact on children and is linked to delayed brain development. This issue is regarded by Ayurveda as a Kaphaavrit Vata ailment with Tama involvement. Sharangadhara and Vangasen Samhita describes Shayyamutra. According to the literature review and studies reported in Ayurvedic parlance, certain Kaphaghna/Pramehaghna drugs , nerve tonics , Panchakarma treatments (particularly Nasya and Shirodhara), and most importantly, Sattvavajaya Chikitsa, are important. Therefore, rather than only selecting one medication or Kalpa, treatment should be organized using a multifaceted strategy that incorporates all aspects of care in light of the pathophysiology of the Shayyamutra.

 Abstract

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus explores the life of a Nigerian family, focusing on Kambili, a young girl navigating the complexities of an oppressive, postcolonial society. Throughout the novel, Adichie employs rich symbolism, particularly through elements of nature and the use of pathetic fallacy, to reflect the characters' growth and the unfolding narrative. Central to the story are the red and purple hibiscus flowers, which hold significant meaning both for Kambili and her brother Jaja, as well as for the novel as a whole. This paper examines how Adichie utilizes nature as a symbolic device to depict Kambili's personal development within the context of a postcolonial environment.

 Abstract

Amitav Ghosh's The Nutmeg's Curse examines the strong links between colonialism, capitalism, and environmental harm, critiquing how these elements have influenced today's ecological issues. By looking at the nutmeg trade in the 17th century and the harsh Dutch colonization of the Banda Islands, Ghosh connects the exploitation of natural resources in the past to current environmental damage. This paper will explore the link between The Nutmeg's Curse and the history of colonialism and its impact on today's environmental issues. Ghosh's story shows how the exploitation of nature and native populations during colonial times set the stage for the environmental damage and capitalist growth we see now. The book critiques historical wrongs while also highlighting how these past actions continue to cause inequality and ecological damage in the Anthropocene. Ghosh critiques the Anthropocene, suggesting its origins are in long-standing colonial exploitation and capitalist growth, which still negatively affect marginalized communities and ecosystems. By comparing this work to his other book, The Great Derangement, and postcolonial ecological writings by authors like Arundhati Roy and Vandana Shiva, Ghosh's ideas are placed in a wider literary framework. In the end, this paper argues that The Nutmeg's Curse urges a fundamental reevaluation of humanity's connection with nature and the global economy, providing valuable insights into current environmental and geopolitical discussions.

 Abstract

Abstract Welded pipes are particularly susceptible to rapid degradation. Cracks can be detected during regular inspections, either mandated by the welding-filling process or by employing more intrusive methods like cutting and replacing sections. Such small discontinuities can evolve into fatigue cracks or stress corrosion cracks during service. Welding process parameters significantly influence fabricated joint quality. The characteristics of welding are crucial in the industrial sector, particularly in the manufacturing sector. One key process for ensuring the quality of welding is the post-welding non-destructive test (NDT), although it is both time-consuming and expensive. To minimize the occurrence of defects, online monitoring has been used to continuously measure certain welding parameters and forecast the quality of the weld. The objective of this study is to assess the dependability of non-destructive test (NDT) methods for examining pipeline welds used in the oil and gas industry. Techniques, includes ultrasonic methods manual and automatic, digital radiography, manual and automatic were utilized. Pipe discontinuities includes- lack of fusion, lack of penetration, porosity, slag, off-seam under cut, crack etc. The experiments were conducted on samples from pipelines that had been developed during the welding process. The findings indicate that automatic ultrasonic tests are more effective in detecting defects compared to manual ultrasonic and radiographic tests.

 Abstract

Early detection and diagnosis of plant diseases are essential for maintaining crop health and ensuring food security. This paper presents a novel approach for identifying prevalent phytopathological conditions using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). CNNs, known for their strength in image recognition, are applied to analyze plant leaf images and detect diseases based on visual symptoms like spots, discoloration, and lesions. The proposed model is trained on a comprehensive dataset consisting of labeled leaf images representing various plant diseases, including bacterial blight, rust, and powdery mildew. Leveraging CNN's ability to automatically extract hierarchical features, the model achieves significant accuracy in disease classification. Techniques such as data augmentation and transfer learning are used to enhance performance and generalization across diverse plant types and environmental conditions. Evaluation metrics show that the CNN-based method surpasses traditional machine learning approaches in terms of accuracy, precision, and recall. The study also discusses the potential for deploying the system in mobile applications, allowing real-time disease detection for farmers. This research contributes to precision agriculture by providing a scalable, efficient, and accessible solution for early plant disease diagnosis, ultimately supporting sustainable farming practices and crop yield optimization.
