 Abstract

Abstract The role of nanomaterials in the development of biocomposites is very crucial. It has been seen in the studies that it has been creating huge impact on the properties of biocomposites material. In field of material science enormous research work has been taking place to develop eco-friendly efficient biocomposites material. The industrial sustainability, eco-efficiency, and green chemistry are guiding principles for the development of the next generation products and processes. Considerable growth has been seen in the use of biocomposites material in the domestic sector, building materials, aerospace industry, circuit boards, and automotive applications over the past decade, but application in other sectors until now has been limited. Nevertheless, with suitable development, the potential exists for biocomposites to enter new markets and thus stimulate an increase in demand. Many types of natural fibers have been investigated with polymer matrices to produce composite materials that are competitive with synthetic fiber composites which require special attention. The Nanomaterials can be used to prepare fiber-reinforced polymer composites for commercial use and have marketing appeal. The growing global environmental and social concern, depletion of petroleum based resources, and new environmental regulations have forced the search for new biocomposites, compatible with the environment. Many references to the current status of research work on the impact of nanomaterials and applications of biocomposites are cited in this review.

 Abstract

Bricks have been a major construction and building material for long time. The use of dried-clay bricks for the first time dates back to 8000 BC and the fired-clay bricks were used for the first time as early as 4500 BC. The worldwide estimated annual production of bricks is currently about 130 billion units and the demand for bricks is continuously rising exponentially. Conventional bricks are produced from clay by burning at high temperature either in clamps or kilns . For obtaining clay to mold bricks quarrying operations are required to be done which are energy intensive, generates high level of wastes and affects the landscape adversely. The high temperature required in the kilns for firing bricks not only consumes significant amount of energy but also releases huge quantity of greenhouse gasses and particulate matter. Clay bricks, on average, have an embodied energy of approximately 2.0 kWh and release about 0.41 kg of carbon dioxide (CO ) per brick . It should also be noted that due to lack of resources there is a shortage of clay and bricks in many parts of the world. Due to continuous excavation for clay some countries such as China has started to limit the production of bricks made from clay to protect the clay resource and the environment. The production of OPC concrete bricks are done by using OPC and aggregates. It is also well known that huge amount of energy is required in the production of OPC and significant amount of greenhouse gasses are released in this process. Production of 1 kg of OPC consumes approximately 1.5 kWh of energy and releases about 1 kg of CO in the atmosphere. Worldwide, production of OPC is responsible for about 7% of all CO generated So the production of OPC concrete bricks also consumes large amount of energy and releases substantial quantity of CO. In addition, the aggregates are produced from quarrying and thus have the same problems as described above for clay. For environmental protection and sustainable development it is necessary to find a new construction material.

 Abstract

These days, playing E-Sports is the most popular and tolerable form of entertainment. The gaming industry has already reached its peak among adult spectators, despite the common misconception that E-Sports are primarily for kids and are considered "childish" or "juvenile." However, there is a lot of youth participation in E-Sports today. Games are frequently blamed and accused of contributing to the rise in youth violence and aggression.. People have been curious about the specific effects that video games have on youth whether these effects are positive, negative, or absent altogether. This study looks into how playing in e-sports affects young people's lifestyle. A formal questionnaire is also used to examine their reasons for participating in E-Sports. Studies found connections between Physical activity-related links between e-sports and poor lifestyle outcomes (decreased levels of physical activity, and sedentary behaviour) poor diet, consumption of sweetened beverages) and sleep-related consequences (reduced quantity/quality, increased drowsiness/sleep deprivation, eye strain, wrist pain, neck pain). The findings show that there is growing interest in researching the connections between E-Sports and lifestyle outcomes. 300 adults from different socioeconomic backgrounds who participate in these E-Sports in New Delhi were the subject of this study. A questionnaire was prepared and distributed to the E-Sports competitors as part of the convenience sampling technique, and results and conclusions were sought according to the interpretation. The wide digital audience that e-Sports can reach emphasises how important it is for this industry to encourage consumers and gamers to lead healthy lifestyles.

 Abstract

Modern online technologies make it relatively easy to maintain communication among a sizable and diverse audience. Additionally, since much web material is text-based and multimedia-based, some individuals with special needs, such as the deaf and hard of hearing, find it challenging to obtain information or interact with hearing individuals. This issue arises from a lack of facilities that enable learning sign language for hearing people or text translation into sign language for hearing-impaired people. In this regard, we offer in this paper a method for developing a mobile system that translates one language into sign language using a virtual signing agent, based on web services, X3D, and the Android operating system. The primary benefit of this work is that it may be used to teach sign languages and to translate unknown language into sign language for deaf individuals.

 Abstract

India is a secular country and secularism is the basic feature of the constitution. In India, people of all religion reside. All the people have the right to profess their religion. They are also governed by their personal laws in the civil matters. In-spite of the need of provision for uniform civil code, the uniform civil law are neither made nor applied in India and therefore they have the right to marry and divorce according to their own personal laws. In India Hindu and Muslim are two major religions. The Hindus are governed by Hindu laws and Muslims are governed by their muslim/personal laws. For Hindus, specific law relating to marriage has been enacted in the year 1955 which provides the provisions for marriage as well as the divorce but there is no specific enactment relating to the matters of marriage and divorce however Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939 was enacted which provides only the right to divorce to Muslim woman and the man. Granting the legal rights including those of civil rights to all the people deeply divided society is the necessity of secular India.

 Abstract

O'Henry describes the theme poverty, restlessness, harshness and cruelties which reflects lost faith and hope to move away from family members in search of a perfect job to find peace in life but harshness in life lost the appearance of the present in the form of restlessness in life bringing discomfort in the life of the Youngman to search his love, Miss. Eloise. This is a tragic story where the wanderers searching for jobs and the natural disaster in the form of flood takes the life of many people living in the red district of the New York city, harming and killing many who appear to live an uncomfortable life and no longer have physical appearance but roam as supernatural spirits. While the protagonist in the form of the Young man is seen searching for his love, Miss. Eloise for five months but after ceaseless search he is unable to meet her. This ceaseless search makes him tired so he rents a room near the theatre to find her but no rest comes in the furnished room where he rents because each time the room reminds him about her. Even he seems to feel the smell of mignonette which makes him feel her presence there. On the other hand the housekeeper, Mrs. Purdy rents the abusive furnished room on rent to the tenants to earn a huge amount of rent without informing them the truth that the room is abusive. This represents her harshness and selfishness because when the Youngman came downstairs to enquire about the previous tenants who previously rented it she completely lies that she does not remember the name of Miss. Eloise nor the appearance of the previous tenant having a short height and a mole under her left eyebrow and her lie results in betrayal and lost faith and hope soon he seems to lose control over himself. And soon ripples the bed sheet into pieces blocking each and every corner of the doors and windows and turns on the yellow gas lighter to commit suicide.

 Abstract

Technology in construction industry is changing at a magic speed now days. Technology is providing facilities in respect to save labor, time and money. Modern technology available is though applicable in different climate and land types yet many traditional construction techniques (Rat Trap Bond, Filler slab, Jack Arch Roof etc.) by way of vernacular architecture are still in use for specific purposes. All techniques developed and executed by Laurie Baker are very effective and needs more experiments in different locations with different climatic and topology conditions. Four different seismic zones in India demands different construction techniques. Disaster management can be worked out by providing construction with rat trap bond in different seismic zones. This paper is particularly concerned about the construction technique of rat trap bond and its relationship with different seismic zones categorized in India. Derivation of this correlation will provide thumb rule for calculation of rat trap bond mass to with stand in a specific seismic zone.

 Abstract

New hydrazone ligand of 2-hydroxybenzylidene-4-oxopiperidine-1-carbohydrazone (2HL) was designed and synthesized by the condensation reaction of 4-oxo-1-carboxopiperidone hydrazide with 2-hydroxy benzaldehyde. This ligand was reacts with Zn(II) chloride salts to obtained [Zn(L)(H2O)]complex.The ligand was characterized by elemental and spectral techniques such as Infrared, UV-vis, 1H and 13C NMR, mass) and supporting analysis molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, powder XRD, TG analyses also performed for the confirmation of structure. The ligand and metal stoichiometric ratio found as 1:1 (M:L) in the complex. The ligand behaves as a dibasic tridentate, coordinating through the Ophenolate, Nazomethine, Oenolate donor functionality towards Zn(II) complex. The spectral, thermo-analytical data displays tetrahedral geometry for all complexes. X-ray diffraction study confirms nanocrystalline nature of ligand and its metal complexes. Coats evaluated the kinetic parameters- the Redfern method indicated the complex shows a higher degree of thermal stability. The newly synthesized (2HL) ligand and Zn(II) complex were biologically screened for its antibacterial efficiency against gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi), gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus substillus) and the fungal efficiency against pathogens (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) and obtained data show that metal complexes are more competent than the parent ligand against bacterial species.
