Distribution static compensator is used to compensate the source currents which are affected by the harmonics due to unbalanced and non-linear loads. Here a PV based inverter is used as a shunt active power filter to mitigate the current harmonics. The theory of synchronous reference frame is used to generate the three phase reference currents. Hysteresis current controller (HCC) is used to generate the switching pulses for the gate drives of the grid interfacing inverter. The inverter act as a shunt active power filters to inject the compensated current to the system. The total harmonic Distortion (THDs) of the source currents are reduced by using shunt active power filter (APF). The THDs of the distribution system with and without APF are compared. The whole work is been done in MA TLAB/SIMULINK To repay the reactive power misfortunes in the transmission line and any place in the electrical influence framework, we have completed the writing survey of the different papers and embraced the distinctive procedures to defeat this issue. We have utilized the shunt and series arrangement strategies, in which the compensator like capacitor will be given in parallel and in series to the inductive load. Since there is dependably a voltage and current transient upon the changing the capacitor steps. Henceforth we adopted the FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) gadgets to beat the responsive force remuneration issue. The studies for the different FACTS gadgets were completed and we discovered the STATCOMs (Static Synchronous Compensators) is the present day and the most productive approach to conquer the responsive force pay. The different strategies were done for the STATCOMS. The genuine investigation was completed in MATLAB and its scientific outflow was inferred utilizing diverse routines for calculation

 Abstract

Leaf spots can be indicative of crop diseases, where leaf batches (spots) are usually examined and subjected to expert opinion. In our proposed system, we are going to develop an integrated image processing system to help automated inspection of these leaf batches and helps identify the disease type. Conventional Expert systems mainly those which used to diagnose the disease in agriculture domain depends only on textual input. Usually abnormalities for a given crop are manifested as symptoms on various plant parts. To enable an expert system to produce correct results, end user must be capable of mapping what they see in a form of abnormal symptoms to answer to questions asked by that expert system. This mapping may be inconsistent if a full understanding of the abnormalities does not exist. The proposed system consists of four stages; the first is the enhancement, which includes HIS transformation, histogram analysis, and intensity adjustment. The second stage is segmentation, which includes adaptation of fuzzy c-means algorithm. Feature extraction is the third stage, which deals with three features, namely color size and shape of spot. The fourth stage is classification, which comprises Leaf disease.

When a cell or tissue undergoes mechanical, chemical or any other distress from an external object or stimuli the defense mechanism mainly leucocytes acts up in the form of inflammation. There is a variety of steroidal and non-steroidal drugs are helpful in management of acute as well as chronic inflammation. The major issues with treatment of chronic inflammation is the toll that drugs take on gastrointestinal system as well as renal system. Prolonged consumption of NSAIDs is associated with lesions in stomach as well as load on kidneys. There is a need for alternative therapy so as to minimize these adverse effects. The drugs derived from natural resources are generally well tolerated & have low toxicity. The article highlights the signs, causes, type, mediators & mechanism of acute and chronic inflammation & its management using the ayurvedic drugs.

 Abstract

The net energy consumption has decreased across the country and state, however domestic energy consumption has spiked up massively due to the lockdown and heavy use of electrical appliances. There is also a detailed survey of 20 households showing us the ups and downs in energy consumption. The massive impact on energy consumption was due to a reduction in commercial and industrial activities. However, domestic energy consumption across Pune as well as our state rose at an alarming rate. Due to the decrease in energy demand, the share of renewables, mainly solar has increased sharply leading people to use and harness solar energy. Domestic energy consumption can decrease by approximately 500 units per house per month.

 Abstract

The population in India is increasing day by day and at the same time, the garbage produced by us is also growing at a similar rate. We all have become very busy in our daily lives and we spend very little time being concerned about our environment. An overflowed garbage bin creates an obnoxious smell and causes pollution which may lead to severe health issues. Garbage Management has become a hectic issue as BMC fails to collect garbage from time to time. The traditional way of monitoring the garbage manually is a cumbersome process that requires more time, human effort and resources which is not compatible with present-day requirements. It can be easily avoided with the present technologies. We as humans always prefer automatic systems to make our life simpler rather than using manual systems. Using the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), we can develop a Smart Garbage Monitoring and Segregation System which would result in less manpower, low fuel cost and improved cleanliness. The proposed system can be the first step towards a clean country.

 Abstract

Recent studies has found that, discovering and developing novel medications is insufficient to attain therapeutic excellence and gain market economies. As a result, changed formulations of currently available medications are getting more significant. Also, poor water solubility and inadequate bioavailability of an active medicinal ingredient are two factors that limit the growth of a new product. The pharmacological action of the pharmaceutically active ingredient is unaffected by co-crystallization, with pharmaceutically acceptable molecules, although it can improve physical qualities such as solubility, stability and rate of dissolution. Most importantly, it is possible to use co-crystal to generate novel pharmaceuticals with improved solubility, improving treatment efficiency and safety. The most significant factor in the production of co-crystal is thermodynamic stability. Co-crystal formation can be performed by Grinding Methods, Spray Drying Method, Solvent Evaporation Technique, Ultrasound Assisted Solution Co-crystallization, Supercritical Fluid Atomization Technique, Hot Melt Extrusion and other techniques are used. A brief description of co-crystal formation techniques, properties of co-crystal (solubility, tabletability, melting point, stability, bioavailability, permeability) as well as its pharmacological uses has been incorporated in the following review paper which further help to know more about the concept of co-crystals in depth.

 Abstract

A code is primarily designed for structural engineers to stipulate mandatory recommendations while analysing a structure under the influence of seismic excitation. The aim mainly is to make a standard for all to make structures safe and stable, though the seismic parameter during an earthquake is not as equivalent as mentioned in the code, the importance of using the code is there. A structural engineer can save life as strictly following code recommendations can resist the structure from collapse during a ground movement. Throughout the years researchers have developed the code provisions, and it modifies. In November 2020, an amendment for the IS code 1893, Criteria for earthquake resistance design of structures, has been released with some major modifications over previous versions. This study focuses on the latest modifications made and their comparison with the previous version.

Data is the input to mine useful features for different artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, but Internet data is distributed everywhere and managed by numerous stakeholders who can not believe in each other, and it is difficult to approve or verify the use of data in complex cyberspace. An AI will need large data to produce a digital copy of a delectable, or a full image. In turn, this practical AI-based digital copy would hit pandemonium, and well, it would be really hard, not to mention, unlikely for AI to operate with anyone without a very strong password. In this article, we propose SecNet, an architecture that will allow safe data collection, computing, and sharing in the large-scale Internet world, with AI improved by plenty of data, and more secure cyberspace. By incorporating blockchain-enabled data sharing, ownership assurance, and trustworthy computation, we plan to build a more stable Internet with plenty of big data and hence improved AI based on a fantastic dataset. In addition to listing out auditing criteria, we decide a typical implementation scenario and an unusual way to enforce its procedures. We then assess its effectiveness from the perspective of the network protection component and the Net Neutrality issue.

In the seismic design of buildings, reinforced concrete structural walls, or shear walls, act as major earthquake resisting members. The properties of these seismic shear walls dominate the response of the buildings, and therefore, it is important to evaluate the seismic response of the walls appropriately. In this present study, main focus is to determine the solution for shear wall location in multi-storey building An earthquake load is applied to a building of B+G+14 stories located in zone III. Parameters like Lateral displacement, story drift. The response of building when subjected to seismic excitation can be evaluated in a number of ways. Structural analysis methods can be mainly divided into four categories Equivalent Static Analysis, Linear dynamic analysis, Nonlinear Static Analysis, Nonlinear dynamic analysis. Equivalent Static Analysis method or linear static analysis, defines a series of forces acting on a building to represent the effect of earthquake ground motion. In this method, the design base shear is computed for the whole building, and it is then distributed along the height of the building. The response spectrum analysis determines the natural frequencies and mode shapes via eigen value analysis. It is used to estimate the peak response whereas the time history analysis provides a method for obtaining the exact response of a structure as a function of time.

 Abstract

Orally fast dissolving films have been recently introduced in the market as a convenient and easy-to-use alternative to conventional dosage forms such as orally disintegrating tablets. For paediatric and geriatric patients, fast-dissolving drug delivery systems are an alternative to tablets, capsules, and syrups that quickly disintegrate and dissolve in saliva and can be easily swallowed without the use of water. Mouth dissolving buccal films are particularly useful for paediatric, geriatric, and mentally ill patients who have trouble swallowing conventional tablets. This approach improves the therapeutic efficiency of pharmaceutical actives by avoiding hepatic first pass metabolism, delivering drug molecules in a controlled manner, increasing absorption, and improving patient compliance. This review gives more details about the components used in ODF, the manufacturing processes, the evaluation tests, and the marketed products.

Computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user. By using cloud storage, users can access applications, services, software whenever they require over the internet. Users can put their data remotely to cloud storage and get the benefit of on-demand cloud services and application from the resources. The cloud must ensure data integrity and security of data of the user. The issue about cloud storage is integrity and privacy of data of the user. To maintain overkill this issue here, we are giving public auditing process for cloud storage that users can make use of a third-party auditor (TPA) to check the integrity of data. Not only verification of data integrity, the system also supports data dynamics. The work that has been done in this line lacks data dynamics and true public audit ability. The auditing task monitors data modifications, insertions and deletions. The implement system is capable of supporting public audit ability, data dynamics and Multiple TPA are used for the auditing process. We also extend our concept to ring signatures in which HARS scheme is used. Markel Hash Tree is used to improve block level authentication.
