 Abstract

Concrete, a widely common building material, has cement as its primary ingredient. Global warming-causing greenhouse gases are released into the environment as a result of cement manufacture. Current research is thus concentrating on other materials to replace and lessen the requirement for cement. Steel fibers are incorporated to geo-polymer concrete in this study using GGBS. GGBS is a by-product of the steel industry. Concrete has been strengthened by the use of steel fibers. This experiment used geo-polymer concrete with GGBS and steel fiber (0.5%) together with 8 and 10 mol alkaline activators. The ratio of these alkali activators is 1:2.5. The results showed that fiber may significantly enhance mechanical properties. As the fiber volume fraction grows, so does the augmentation.

 Abstract

IoT and Big Data have been the talk of the technological industry for a while, and they are now essential technologies rather than just "nice to have" items. Organizations are under pressure to accept big data, which has greatly increased the usage of big data analysis over the past several years. As a result, companies are also quickly realizing what they need for it. The Internet of Things (IoT), on the other hand, has inspired the globe by demonstrating the benefits that a fully networked world may provide. Though IoT and Big data evolved independently, they have become interrelated over the period. Furthermore, the relation between big data and IoT has shown a convergence of the two technologies which is aligning the technologies in the best possible way. Hence, if IoT big data combination separately gives plenty of reasons for excitement, then combining the two technologies multiplies the anticipation. In this paper, we will discuss how IoT and big data go hand in hand and how organizations are obtaining benefits by using the internet of things big data together.

For conducting caesarean sections sub arachnoid blocks are shown to be an easy, safe, and most commonly followed anesthetics technique. Nonetheless its connotation with some side effects like perioperative hypotension, bradycardia nausea and vomiting can't be ignored. The majority of these side effects are induced by sympathetic blockade, hypovolemia and Bezold-Jarisch reflex through intra-cardiac serotonin (5HT3) receptors and vague nerve. Various studies have already established the use of 5HT3 antagonists like Ondansetron in preventing the serotonin induced BJR and thus peri-operative hypotension. In the present study, it was imaginedby blocking type 3 serotonin receptors by intravenous (i.v.) ondansetrondecreases the incidence of hypotension brought by spinalanesthesia After procurement approval of recognized ethical group, and printed informed consent we conducted a study in 100 pregnant patients aged between 18-45 years with ASA 1 and 2status planned for an elective caesarean section at term. This is a potential, randomized, measured, double blinded study. Group I (n=50) received 4milligram ondansetron in 10 ml saline intravenously 5 mins before spinal puncture. Group II (n=50) received10 ml saline in the same way and at the same timing. Patients in both the group I and II received 1000 ml of Ringers lactate solutionover30 minutes in the pre-operative room prior to induction of spinal anesthesia which was induced using2.2 ml of 0.5% Bupivacaine heavy injected in intrathecalspaceinboththegroupsbysameanesthesiologist.Standard ASA monitoring including, ECG, Pulse oximetry and NIBP was recorded in both the groups. Measurements of BP and heart rate (HR) was taken every 5 minutes for 60 minutes. Hypotension was defined as a reduction in mean arterial pressure (MAP) of more than 20%, and 3 mg of me phentermine was administered intravenously. Bradycardia was defined as a reduction in heart rate of more than 20%, and atropine 0.6 mg iv was administered intravenously. Results Both groups are comparable in demographic. Statistically significant difference was noted in the Systolic Blood Pressures in both the groups at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mins and 1-hour post sub arachnoid block. Requirement of vasopressor was significantly low in Group I 9 patients (18%) with a p=0.005 as compared to group II 32 (64%)patients Conclusion:It was safely concluded that administering intravenous ondansetron prior to spinal puncture significantly depress the incidence of hypotension and requirement of vasopressors.

Context: One of the leading causes of death in India is severe hepatic dysfunction. The primary goal of this study is to determine whether the polyherbal combination of chosen fruit peel extracts and hepatoprotective efficacy. Environment and Design: 1. With CCl4, induce hepatotoxicity 2. Investigation of the PHM and hepatoprotective properties of certain peel extracts. 3 Calculating different enzymes to determine liver function. Materials and Procedures After inducing hepatotoxicity, male Wistar albino rats (180-200 g) were separated into 12 groups and treated with PHM and specific extracts. Blood and liver samples were then taken and analysed on the 14th day. The experimental findings were reported as the mean of the statistical analysis (SEM). ANOVA was applied to the data where appropriate.Results and Discussion: All the selected plant extracts and PHM shown to prevent the leakage of SGOT, SGPT, and ALP in CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity. The order of potency was PHM>APMP>APCM>APMI>APAC. The APMP was the better hepatoprotective among the selected plant extracts. The activities might be due to the conditioning of hepatocytes by protecting the integrity of the membrane from CCl4 induced leakage of serum markers into circulation. All the selected plant extracts and PHM shown to revert back the SOD, CAT and GSH to the normal values in CCl4 induced rats in a dose dependent manner in liver homogenates.

 Abstract

HR analytics, often known as people analytics, is the methodical application of analytical methodologies to human resources (HR) data. Estimating turnover, locating knowledge and skills inside a company, and forecasting job performance are common issues in HR analytics. Instead than only employing key performance indicators, HR analytics is an area of significant interest. This is because the amount, velocity, and diversity of HR data are all quickly increasing as a result of the digitalization of work processes. Steel cabinets were used to store personnel files. It is now kept in the business systems together with information from emails, process data, employee satisfaction surveys, and the hiring process. The ethics of human resource analysis need to be discussed as it becomes more common. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ethical implications of applying sophisticated analytical methods to human resource management problems.

 Abstract

The current study makes an effort to explain how Indian customers feel about insurance services. Due to the availability of broad knowledge about insurance, consumers are now impacted by numerous insurance kinds, including health insurance, vehicle insurance, property insurance, and travel insurance. People are increasingly choosing to invest in these types of insurance, which aids con artists in defrauding victims. Insurance fraud is banned, whether it comes from the customer or the insurance provider. Client-side insurance fraud might take the shape of postponed policies, overstated claims, and other issues. However, insurance vendor fraud is seen in the form of policies from fictitious firms and inability to pay premiums, and as a result. In this paper, we perform a comparative analysis on various classification algorithms

 Abstract

Real photographs frequently contain complex blur, such as the combination of space-variant and space-invariant blur, which is challenging to mathematically represent. In this work, we provide a cutting-edge blur kernel-free picture deblurring technique. We use two photographs, one fuzzy with low shutter speed and low ISO noise, and the other noisy with fast shutter speed and high ISO noise, both of which may be easily obtained in low-light conditions. By dividing the blurred picture into patches, we can use the corresponding patches in the noisy image to extend the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and describe the underlying intensity distribution of each patch. Utilizing an analysis of the optical flow between the two pictures, we generate patch correspondences. The Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is utilized to estimate the parameters of GMM. To preserve sharp features, we add an additional bilateral term to the objective function in the M-step. We eventually add a detail layer to the deblurred image for refinement. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world data demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the terms of robustness, visual quality, and quantitative metrics.

 Abstract

There is an increasing trend to use products manufactured from the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics or Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites in the industry like aerospace, automotive, sports, medical, renewable energy etc. It is because of the lighter weight, higher strength, hence, higher strength-to-weight ratio of these materials, their higher corrosion resistance, higher fatigue resistance etc. Manufacturing of products from CFRP composites need precise machining, including cutting. Cutting of these materials is very difficult and inefficient with non-laser traditional techniques. Using continuous wave (cw) or pulsed fiber lasers solves many of these limitations of cutting CFRP composites. These processes have been optimized by many researchers for reducing the heat affected zones (HAZ) by optimizing the laser parameters like its power, pulse duration, feeding speed etc. Finally the environmental hazards of laser-based cutting of CFRP composites and the safety measures are also discussed in this paper.

 Abstract

The development of MEMS has been driven by the need for miniaturization and lowering the overall manufacturing cost. The field of MEMS is concerned with the development of integrated systems of sensors, actuators and associated electronics. Even though the electronics industry provides an economy of scale for the silicon industry, crystalline silicon is still a complex and relatively expensive material to produce. The development of polymer micromachining technologies that complement traditional silicon approaches has enabled the broadening of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) applications. Polymeric Bio-MEMS (Biomedical Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) have great potential in their current and future applications which include genomics, proteomics, molecular diagnostics, point-of-care diagnostics, tissue engineering, single cell analysis and implantable micro-devices. The polymeric materials are very fragile and not rigid which restrict their manufacturing processes. To minimize many such problems, excimer lasers and femtosecond lasers have been used for the precise micromachining of Bio-MEMS, the details of which are discussed in this paper.

 Abstract

Rohinton Mistry's Such a Long Journey (1991) is a seminal work in Indian English literature, narrating the plight of the middle-class Parsi protagonist Gustad Noble amidst the socio-political turbulence of 1970s Bombay. The novel is a rich interplay of private loss and public betrayal, examining how personal lives are deeply impacted by the larger forces of history and politics. This paper investigates how Mistry portrays the decay of urban life, the erosion of moral and political ideals, and the spiritual crisis faced by the individual. It also situates the novel within the broader framework of postcolonial literature, exploring its thematic complexity, historical consciousness, and literary craftsmanship. Through a close reading of the text and engagement with secondary scholarship, the paper offers a comprehensive understanding of Such a Long Journey as both a historical document and a humanist narrative.

 Abstract

After India attained independence in 1947, the country faced the herculean task of political integration, with over 560 princely states scattered across the subcontinent. These states were not legally bound to join either India or Pakistan, and their future was uncertain. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister, played a pivotal role in bringing about the peaceful integration of these diverse states into the Indian Union. With remarkable diplomacy, foresight, and determination, Patel used a mix of persuasion, strategic force, and legal mechanisms to unify India. This paper explores his instrumental role, the challenges faced, the strategies adopted, and the lasting impact on India's unity and sovereignty. It also assesses literature on the subject and offers findings and suggestions for contemporary nation-building efforts.

 Abstract

The concept of viscosity is commonly used to characterize a material, but it is not adequate to describe the mechanical behavior of a substance, particularly non-Newtonian fluids. several other rheological properties which relate the relations between the stress and strain rate tensors under different flow conditions, such as oscillatory shear, or extensional flow can be described the mechanical behavior of non-Newtonian fluids like Blood. Viscoelasticity is a rheological phenomenon that describes the flow properties of complex fluids like blood. Viscoelastic materials have interesting properties. They exhibit both viscous behavior as well as elasticity. The viscosity and elasticity of blood are direct indicators of how these parameters affect the ability of the blood to flow under the shear conditions imposed by the pulsatility of the circulation. The present study aims at 1.)To measure velocity of blood for different flow rates in a capillary tube, which is achieved by allowing the blood to flow in a capillary tube of different radii and 2) To measure ultrasonic velocity and absorption in blood at different frequencies. The data is presented and findings and conclusions are drawn from this data.

In an era of dynamic financial markets, understanding the relationship between financial literacy and investment behavior is essential. This study investigates the influence of financial knowledge on investment preferences among 300 individual investors in Kalaburagi district using a structured questionnaire. Employing correlation, regression analysis, and ANOVA, the study finds a strong positive relationship between financial literacy and behaviors such as diversification, risk-taking, and investment frequency. Regression results reveal financial literacy as the strongest predictor of informed investment behavior, surpassing demographic factors like income or education. ANOVA confirms significant behavioral differences among investors across literacy levels. The findings reinforce the need for targeted financial education to build a more financially empowered population.
