ABSTRACT The present investigation was carried out at Banana Research Station, Nanded. "Studies on plant geometry and levels of potassium on growth, yield and quality of banana (Musa acuminata L.)", for two trial years. In the present experiment, there were four main treatments of plant density, viz. D1 (1.5 m x 1.2 m), D2 (1.5 m x 1.5 m), D3 (1.5 m x 1.8 m) and D4 (1.5 m x 2.1 m), three sub- treatment of potassium levels, viz. K1 (100 g K2 O/plant), K2 (200 g K2O/plant), K3 (300 g K2O/plant) and thus comprising twelve treatment combinations. From the results obtained in the present investigation, it can be revealed that the vigorous vegetative growth in terms of plant height, were the highest in plants with plant density 1.5 m x 2.1 m followed by plant density 1.5 m x 1.8 m, while in case of different potassium levels the vegetative growth were the highest in plants with application of 300 g K2O/plant followed by 200 g K2O/plant. In interaction, the plant density 1.5 m x 2.1 m with combination of 300 g K2O/plant as well as 200 g K2O/plant showed the highest vegetative growth and number of leaves.

This study explores the effect of relaxation exercises on secondary school students' mathematics examination accomplishment. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 40 students randomly in an experimental and control group. The experimental group participated in a structured program of relaxation exercises, including guided imagery, deep breathing, and progressive muscle relaxation, administered for 15 minutes daily for eight weeks. The control group continued with their regular mathematics curriculum without any additional interventions. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using standardized mathematics tests to measure the student's accomplishment in the subject. Results indicated a statistically significant improvement in the mathematical scores of students in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. Qualitative feedback from students suggested that the relaxation exercises reduced anxiety improved concentration, and enhanced performance. These findings suggest that relaxation techniques in the school routine can be a valuable strategy for improving students' academic outcomes in mathematics. Further research is recommended to explore relaxation exercises' long-term effects and potential applications across different subjects and educational contexts.

 Abstract

As old as humanity, wounds are clinical entities that frequently cause issues in therapeutic practice. Naturally, there has always been an inquisitive curiosity to advance healing. It has been difficult to produce new therapeutic agents and stay up to date with the issues faced, despite the extensive study that has been planned to create better ones. The Ayurveda describes a number of medications with the ability to heal wounds, including those derived from plants, minerals, and animals. The majority of these medications come from plants. A few of these plants have undergone scientific screening in order to assess their capacity to heal wounds using various pharmacological models. In experimental models, it was discovered that a few Ayurvedic medicinal plants, including Lawsonia inermis, Boerhaavia diffusa, Argemone mexicana, Catharanthus roseas, Diospyros cardifolia, Eclipta alba, Ficus religiosa, Hypericum perforatum, and Swertia chirata, were useful. The contraction that starts a few days after damage and lasts for several weeks has a significant role in how quickly wounds heal. In this review, many features of wound healing are attempted to be understood in terms of wound closure %, time to complete epithelialization, tensile strength, histology, and weight of granuloma in various wound models.

The construction industry has evolved to include diverse projects that enhance communities both aesthetically and functionally. Concrete remains the fundamental building material due to its strength, durability, and adaptability. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) can consolidate without external compaction, offering significant construction advantages. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) improves structural integrity by incorporating fibres. This thesis examines the impact of fibre inclusion on SCC's flowability, workability, and compressive strength. The study formulates SCC blends without fibres and then introduces steel and glass fibres at varying concentrations. Flowability and workability are measured using slump and V-funnel tests, while compressive strength is assessed through compression tests. The methodology includes a literature review, SCC mix formulation, flow and strength testing, and result analysis. Findings show that fibre addition reduces slump values and increases T50 times, indicating decreased flowability and workability. Fiber-reinforced SCC demonstrates notable early-age strength development, with steel fibres showing superior strength gains compared to glass fibres. The 0.5% steel fibre SCC achieves the highest strength after 28 days of curing, highlighting the importance of optimizing fibre content. In conclusion, fibre-reinforced SCC enhances compressive strength and structural integrity, with fibre concentration playing a critical role in achieving desired characteristics. This research highlights the benefits of fibre reinforcement in SCC for diverse structural applications.

 Abstract

Ethanol has been part of alcoholic beverages for long time, but its application has expanded much beyond that during the20th Century. Much of the recent interest is in the use of ethanol as fuel. Ethanol produced by fermentation, called bioethanol, accounts for approximately 95% of the ethanol production. It is recently widely used as an additive to gasoline. Corn in the Unites States and sugarcane in Brazil are widely used as raw materials to produce bioethanol. Cellulosic materials are expected to be the ultimate major source of ethanol and also represent a value-adding technology for agricultural coproducts. While bioethanol is considered as a sustainable energy source, it requires further purification for uses other than fuel. The most common purification technique utilized in the ethanol industry is rectification by further distillation. However, distillation has critical disadvantages including high cost and limited separation capacity. Several alternatives have been proposed to replace distillation such as non-heating fractional distillation by ultrasonic irradiation, oxidation of impurities by ozone, and adsorption of impurities by activated carbon or zeolite. Chemical and sensory analyses are used to determine the quality of alcohol and to optimize various steps in production. have been developed for chemical analyses. addition of ethanol to gasoline to boost octane is an alternative to more severe refining operations making ethanol one of the most cost-effective octane enhancers available to the refiner and blender to

 Abstract

The price of a new car in the industry is fixed by the manufacturer with some additional costs incurred by the Government in the form of taxes. So, customers buying a new car can be assured of the money they invest to be worthy. But, due to the increased prices of new cars and the financial incapability of the customers to buy them, Used Car sales are on a global increase. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a Used Car Price Prediction system which effectively determines the worthiness of the car using a variety of features. Existing System includes a process where a seller decides a price randomly and buyer has no idea about the car and it's value in the present day scenario. In fact, seller also has no idea about the car's existing value or the price he should be selling the car at. To overcome this problem we have developed a model which will be highly effective. Regression Algorithms are used because they provide us with continuous value as an output and not a categorized value. Because of which it will be possible to predict the actual price a car rather than the price range of a car. User Interface has also been developed which acquires input from any user and displays the Price of a car according to user's inputs.

In this digital era, a vast amount of digital data can be found on the internet for various purposes. However, manually summarizing this data is a challenging task. The internet is filled with chunks of information, making it crucial to find an efficient and accurate solution for extracting the necessary information. Text summarization has become a popular problem to tackle in this modern age. The primary objective of text summarization is to extract concise summaries from large volumes of text in an efficient and accurate manner. Summarizing video information using natural language processing (NLP) involves extracting the key points from the spoken or written content in a video. This process typically includes several steps, such as transcription, text processing, and summarization. By utilizing text summarization, reading time can be significantly reduced. This paper focuses on the implementation of text summarization for image, PDF, video using the Text Rank Algorithm, NLP, OCR, Open AI Key, NLTK. We can generate accurate and contextually meaningful summary.

This study underscores the potential of natural fibre-reinforced composites, particularly those integrating bamboo, sisal, and aloe vera, as sustainable alternatives to synthetic materials. Through the incorporation of these fibres into an epoxy matrix, the mechanical properties of the resulting hybrid composites were notably enhanced, surpassing those of pure epoxy. The investigation involved assessing the mechanical properties via various tests, including tensile, water absorption, and delamination evaluations. The findings revealed that the hybrid composites displayed improved tensile strength and modulus, reduced water absorption, and enhanced interfacial bonding in comparison to pure epoxy. Notably, the aloe Vera-epoxy composite exhibited superior tensile properties compared to bamboo and sisal composites, attributed to the aloe vera fibre's higher content of cellulose, hemi-cellulose, and lignin. Moreover, the hybrid composite demonstrated enhanced resistance to delamination, attributed to its superior bearing capacity, improved bonding between fibres and the matrix, and higher tensile strength. In summary, this study suggests that these hybrid composites offer promise for diverse engineering applications, including structural components, automotive parts, and packaging materials, providing both mechanical performance and environmental sustainability.

 Abstract

Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints and surrounding tissues. These crystals trigger an inflammatory response, leading to pain and swelling. The exact mechanisms that lead to crystal formation and growth are not fully understood, but researchers have studied the causes of high uric acid levels and the inflammatory pathways involved. Uric acid, the end product of purine metabolism, is normally present as the urate anion in the body fluids. It combines with sodium ions to form MSU crystals, which have a unique triclinic structure and appear needle-shaped under a microscope. Diagnosis of gout is crucial and involves various methods such as polarizing light microscopy, dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), ultrasonography (US), and urine analysis. Treatment options include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation, as well as xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosuric substances to lower uric acid levels and prevent crystal formation. Researchers have also developed techniques for synthesizing MSU crystals in vitro, such as the single diffusion gel technique and wet chemical precipitation technique. These crystals can then be characterized using techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). By understanding the epidemiology, disease mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment, and in vitro synthesis of MSU crystals, researchers aim to improve the management and prevention of gout.
