 Abstract

Maize crop is grown in most of the states in India as it can be cultivated in various geographical locations. Maize is cultivated for various purposes including grain, fodder, sweet corn, etc. The secondary data on area and production of maize crop along with the weather parameters of Karnataka was collected for the period of 30 years from 1991 to 2020. In this study an attempt has been made to elicit the trend in area and production of maize along with the forecasting of production of the above crop. Further an attempt has been made to know the impact of area and weather parameters on the production of maize crop. Trend analysis was performed by fitting different models such as linear, quadratic, cubic, exponential models and Generalized additive model (GAM). Based on the maximum R2 value best fitted model was selected. Exponential and GAM was best fitted for production (49.3%) and area (95.1%) of maize crop respectively. Production of maize crop was forecasted for the period of 5 years from 2021 to 2025 using Exponential model.

 Abstract

Nanoparticles are frequently used in a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines worldwide. By using particle size, nanoparticles are used to quickly deliver a material to a particular place. The fabricated silver nanoparticles were verified by UV spectroscopy, DLS, FTIR, and SEM studies. The characterizations confirmed that the fabricated material was nanoparticles, and two bacteria species, S. aureus and E. coli, were used in the tests to determine silver nanoparticles antibacterial potency. The establishment of anti-bacterial zones demonstrates the ability of the produced nanoparticles to stop the growth of E. coli and S. aureus. This study concludes that the silver nanoparticles have the ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms like E. coli and S. aureus.

 Abstract

This research paper explores the use of five different materials, including Gray Cast Iron (FG 350), Malleable Cast Iron (Whiteheart), Bronze (Sand Cast), Steel (30C8), and Cast Steel (Grade-1) Hardened & Tempered, for designing spur gears based on strength and wear criteria. The study varied the number of teeth from 17 to 25 and drew graphs for beam strength, wear strength, and total weight of the pair with the material as the legend. The results show that increasing the number of teeth improves strength irrespective of the material. Steel exhibits the highest beam strength, while Malleable Cast Iron (Whiteheart) has the lowest. Gray Cast Iron provides the maximum wear strength, while Bronze has the least wear strength. Furthermore, the overall weight of the pair is highest for Bronze and lowest for Gray Cast Iron. These findings can assist engineers in selecting appropriate materials for spur gear design, optimizing their performance and weight characteristics.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT In the recent years, scientific and technological advancements have been made in the research and development of novel drug delivery systems by overcoming physiological troubles such as short gastric residence times and unpredictable gastric emptying times. Gastro retentive drug delivery systems are the systems which are retained in the stomach for a longer period of time and thereby improve the bioavailability of drugs. Floating drug delivery system is one of the several techniques currently used to formulate a successful gastro retentive drug delivery system. Floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) have a bulk density less than gastric fluids and so remain buoyant in the stomach without affecting the gastric emptying rate for a prolonged period of time. While the system is floating on the gastric contents the drug is released slowly at the desired rate from the system. After release of drug, the residual system is emptied from the stomach. This results in an increased GRT and a better control of the fluctuations in plasma drug concentration. In the present research we have studied pea nut husk powder as a floating agent. Floating tablets were prepared by direct compression method using Atenolol and in various concentrations of the polymers HPMC K100M and Peanut Husk powder. Among three formulations F1 has shown a drug release of 94.2% after 12hrs and F1 has shown a floating lag time of 1.07mins.Based on in vitro dissolution studies and floating studies, increased concentration of peanut husk powder improves the floating nature but drug release is retarded due to increase in concentration of HPMC K100M. The optimized formulation followed Higuchi kinetics. It can be concluded that peanut husk powder can be a promising low density material in the formulation of gastro retentive floating drug delivery systems in combination with synthetic polymer HPMC K100M.

 Abstract

This research paper aims to investigate the level of awareness and understanding among investors about mutual funds and hedge funds. The study involved conducting a survey of 101 investors using a structured questionnaire to collect data. The results showed that most respondents had heard of mutual funds, but few had knowledge of hedge funds. In addition, the study found that investors who were knowledgeable about hedge funds had higher levels of financial literacy and investment experience. The study also found that financial advisors, family and friends, and online sources were the main sources of information about mutual funds and hedge funds. The findings suggest that more education and awareness about hedge funds is needed, especially among investors who are less financially literate or inexperienced in investing. The research paper concludes that educating investors about mutual funds and hedge funds will help them make informed investment decisions and achieve their financial goals.
