Paleo-Depositional Systems in the Krishna Godavari Basin, East Coast of India
Authors: Swathi G., Rao G. N. Harikrishna S., Jagannadha Rao M., Asha V.,
Published: December 2023

Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin is a continental passive marginperi-cratonic basin. It is located along the east coast of India. The basin got initiated through rift/syn-rift tectonics between Permo-Triassic to early Cretaceous periods. It consists of the deltaic plains of the Krishna and Godavari Rivers and the inter-deltaic regions. The areal extent of on land part is about 15,000 sq. km whereas the offshore area covers about 215000 sq. km up to 1,000 m isobath. The basin contains about 5 km thick sediments with several cycles of deposition, ranging in age from late Carboniferous to Pleistocene. The major geomorphologic units of the K-G basin are upland plains, coastal plains, Recent flood plain, and delta plain.  Exploration for hydrocarbons in this basin was started in 1958 conducting geological mapping. Geophysical surveys using gravity and magnetic methods were started in 1964, and the seismic surveys were carried out from 1972 in the basin to identify the favourable sites of hydrocarbon accumulation. During the last four decades, 647 deep wells were drilled in different parts of the basin for exploration of oil and gas and their production activities of which 465 well are on landwhich include 85 development wells. More than 225 prospects were drilled out of which 83 are hydrocarbon bearing.      

Cretaceous sediments having a thickness of about 6 km are known in the peri-cratonic K-G basin. Archaean basement consisting of khondalites, charnockites and some sedimentary rocks occur  towards north and west of the basin. Lower Gondwana rocks overlie the basement and are exposed in a limited areas adjoining the Godavari Graben. There are several horsts and grabens in the basin. Many growth faults are also known here.  The Pranhita Godavari Graben is a linear intra-cratonic rift that is in the south-central part of Peninsular India. The stratigraphic column of the basin includes older Talchir Formation of Permo-Carboniferous overlain by Barakar formations which in turn underlie the Chintalapudi sandstone of Permian age. The tectonic history of the K-G basin comprises of the Rift Stage, Syn-rift Stage, Drift Stage, and Late Drift Stage. A Petroleum System can be summarized as an independent stratigraphic compartment within which three primary requisites for hydrocarbon accumulation viz., the source, reservoir, and cap rocks occur. The basin has good hydrocarbon potential, and expletory efforts to locate oil and gas pools through seismic-stratigraphic analysis may enhance the discovery rate.

Published: December 2023

Although though India is one of the world's emerging nations, one of the biggest issues our country is currently facing is how to make people's lives safer by reducing the vulnerability to earthquake dangers in the future. According to previous research conducted by a number of researchers and seismologists, ground shaking can seriously harm any infrastructure, pose risks to any country (whether it is developed or developing), and also be potential to demolish urban structures, including structures that can directly affect the economic standard of any country. In addition to the loss of life and property destruction that this natural disaster frequently results in, it also frequently leaves an economic crisis in its aftermath. In this manner, seismic tremor investigation of any site assumes a significant part for safe development in future.

A one-dimensional site-specific site response investigation was carried out at selected locations in the Hoshiarpur area in Punjab for the current research to examine how the dynamic characteristics of the soil changed in response to a given input ground motion during seismic loading. A crucial responsibility for both structural and geotechnical engineers to assess the interaction between soil and structure is the research of ground response parameters for soil and rock.

Authors: Alajangi Soniya P. Pushpalatha ,
Published: December 2023

A novel method for processing Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, with a focus on interpreting the QRS complex and extracting its characteristics. The algorithm incorporates a variety of techniques, including median filtering, the Shannon energy transform, segmentation, time and amplitude thresholds, and statistical false peak elimination (SFPE). These filters play a crucial role in the preprocessing phase, reducing undesired background noise and interference. With in the algorithm, the Shannon energy (SE) is computed, and an SE envelope is generated by applying a predefined threshold. This envelope serves the purpose of pinpointing R waves in the time domain. False peaks, stemming from residual noise, are eliminated by averaging peak-to-peak intervals. The algorithm's performance is evaluated using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, demonstrating significant improvements in signal quality, reduced noise, and closer alignment to the original signal. This underscores the efficiency of the proposed signal processing technique.

Published: December 2023

The creation of a productive Faculty Performance Management System (FPMS) in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) requires a team effort involving faculty, administrators, and support personnel. It is essential to create an environment that supports continuous improvement, aligns with the institution's strategic objectives, and is adaptable enough to respond to the changing landscape of higher education. In Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), Faculty Performance Management Systems (FPMS) are essential for evaluating and improving the work of faculty members. An overview of the main components and consequences of FPMS in HEIs is given by this research. Faculty performance is assessed and managed systematically through the use of FPMS, which covers teaching, research, service, and professional development. It entails establishing precise goals, gathering and evaluating data, completing performance evaluations, and providing helpful criticism. A culture of continual improvement is what FPMS aims to instill in faculty members, coordinating their efforts with institutional objectives. Faculty accomplishments can be measured with the aid of performance metrics, such as key performance indicators (KPIs). These indicators frequently take into account contributions to the community and institution as well as teaching effectiveness, research productivity, and student feedback. Data-driven evaluations are used to advise faculty members' career progression through the integration of FPMS with tenure and promotion processes. Determining clear criteria, handling legal and ethical issues, and assessing student evaluations of instruction are some of the challenges associated with FPMS implementation. Best practices, however, place a strong emphasis on ongoing evaluations, peer reviews, and assistance with professional growth. In higher education institutions, FPMS is essential for raising standards of instruction, promoting excellence in research, and developing a culture of growth and accountability among faculty members. The goal of continuing research in this dynamic subject is to optimize these systems to fulfill the ever-evolving demands of higher education. The main aim of this research is to study the key elements and implications of FPMS in HEIs & to explore & analyse the FPMS factors in HEIs.

Published: December 2023

One way that AI could improve the educational experience is by making it more individualized and efficient. However, there are a number of ethical concerns that have to be addressed as a result of this accomplishment. This study discusses some of the major ethical challenges posed by AI in the classroom, as well as some potential answers to those problems. The use of AI in the classroom raises serious questions about data privacy and security. Massive volumes of student data are collected and analyzed by AI systems, necessitating robust security measures. Clear communication and informed permission regarding data handling are crucial in solving these privacy issues. Another ethical problem with AI is the potential for discrimination and prejudice. As a result of inherent biases in their training data, AI systems may unfairly disadvantage specific demographics of students. Concerns about bias and unfairness in AI-powered learning technologies persist. Decisions made by AI must be explicable and open to scrutiny. Understanding how AI systems create recommendations and assessments is important for students, teachers, and leaders. Both trust and responsibility in the classroom benefit from more openness. The ethical implications of AI for educators and the field as a whole also need to be considered. Technology should complement teachers rather than replace them. The usage of AI and the training of educators are essential to this shift. The goal of this study is to study the impact of ethical issues factors by using AI in T&L & to identify the impact of AI Factors on T&L (Teaching & Learning)..

Authors: K.H.K. Prasad, B.T. Krishna
Published: December 2023

The electrical patterns of the heart, captured through an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), serve as a diagnostic tool to identify potential issues such as heart attacks, irregular heart rhythms, heart failure, and arrhythmia, which manifests as irregularities in the heartbeat's rhythm. Deep Learning (DL) architectures have been successfully employed for arrhythmia detection and classification and offered superior performance to traditional shallow Machine Learning (ML) approaches. This paper introduces a novel approach utilizing deep learning techniques, specifically a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) model a variant of RNN, to classify ECG arrhythmia beats into distinct categories. The Bi-GRU model is employed in this work due to its capability to capture temporal dependencies in ECG signals, enabling a nuanced understanding of beat sequences for precise classification. Leveraging the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, a comprehensive dataset containing annotated ECG signals, this study explores the efficacy of deep learning in accurately categorizing beats in to five super classes as per the standard of Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Evaluation metrics encompassing accuracy (Acc), specificity (Spe), sensitivity (Sen), positive predictive value (Ppv), and F1-score are utilized to assess the model performance in distinguishing between diverse arrhythmia classes.

An Experimental Examination into the Efficiency of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger for an EGR Cooler
Authors: Chethan G R, Govinde Gowda M S, Lavakumar K S, Ananda G K
Published: December 2023

The increasing concerns over environmental pollution and stringent regulations on emission have led to the widespread adoption of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems in interna combustion engines. EGR systems help reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by recirculating a portion of exhaust gaes back into the combustion chamber. Howerver, the elevated temperature of exhaust gases poses challenges related to thermal management, necessitating the use of exhaust gas recirculation cooler. The experimental setup allows for the controlled circulation of exhaust gases and cooling fluids, thereby facilitating the measurement of heat transfer rates, pressure drops and overall thermal efficiency. These parameters encompass the inlet and outlet temperatures of both the exhaust gases and the cooling fluids flow rates for both fluids resulting pressure drops. By systematically altering these factors, the intricate, interplay between the various parameters and their inputs on the heat exchangers thermal performances are comprehensively explored. Addition, the research develops into critical aspects often overshadowed in EGR cooler studies on fouling. Overtime, the accumulation of deposits in the heat exchanger surface can led to reduced heat transfer efficiency. The outcomes of this study are instrumental for the advancement of EGR cooler technologies fostering more sustainable and environmentally friendly and automotive engines.

Published: December 2023

The serial remote sensing images allow us to view how a certain area has changed and grown across period. Even though these raw images have fewer opportunities to generate information and additional insight, serial remote sensing images (SRSI) offer a significant opportunity to generate clusters and patterns. The implementation of SRSI aggregation is supported by the developments of patterns in a variety of circumstances, which include urbanization, the spread of native vegetation, and farming. We propose a novel outlook to mining sequence patterns that makes use of Ant Colony Optimization and Empirical Mode Decomposition. The newly created Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) approach is integrated to extract the most important characteristics features of significantly accurate performance from serial remote sensing images based on distinct criteria. The outcomes demonstrate that the accuracy of projected sequence patterns can be greatly improved by combining a new hybrid method with EMD and ACO feature selection. Because of this, the method is appealing for employing a farmland dataset based on serial remote sensing images to create ground-based stream-flow for strategically extracting spatially sequential patterns despite requesting less computational mining time and cost.
Internal migration's effects on older people and children: evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Duc Huu
Published: December 2023

The movement of working-age people from rural to urban regions, into industrial zones and export processing zones, causes a phenomena known as "generational defects," in which the elderly and children remain in rural areas. "Mid-generation" family flaws are caused by labor migration, which results in elderly people without children and children without parents living with or near their parents. It simultaneously causes changes in the conditions, living situations, and daily living habits of the elderly and children as a result of the primary economic, spiritual, and emotional core members of the household's lack of timely attention, care, and support. This study examines how internal migration affects older people's and kids' living conditions in Vietnam. The problems raised in the article might lead to the adoption of social protection laws that would cover migrant workers' families as well.

Authors: Suneeth Kumar Saragur, Indra Mani Mishra
Published: December 2023

Anaerobic digestion followed by aerobic treatment has gained wide acceptability for many of the wastewater treatment.  Several novel bio-reactors have been developed. All these reactors pose a problem of shock loading, when the high COD organic industrial waste is fed in to the reactor. Further, the normal substrates like glucose, sewage, citric acid may result in addition of a large volume of the substrate solution for a given organic loading. Both these problems are solved by adopting molasses, a typical by-product from the sugar industry. Among the bio-reactors to treat high strength waste waters, the Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (UASBR), has received wide popularity for the treatment of domestic waste waters as well as for a variety of industrial wastewaters. This paper is to present a cogent and a clear picture of the startup and steady state operation of an UASB Reactor with molasses as the initial startup substrate for the development of well settleable sludge granules, the major feature of an UASB Reactor. The UASB reactor was fabricated in transparent Plexiglas. The reactor had a working volume of 9.75 liters with provision of ports for input, output, collection of samples, and collection of gas. Inside the settler, a gas-liquid-solid separation system using a glass funnel and a gas pressurizing plexiglass tube was provided. The aim was to granulate the sludge and acclimatizing it completely to take high organic loading. The feed was supplemented with a fixed COD: N: P ratio by adding urea for nitrogen and KH2PO4 for phosphorous.  The HRT was fixed to be 8 hours. The reactor temperature was maintained at 35 ± 20oC. In about 55 days, the buttery seed sludge got granulated at an OLR of 8 g COD/l.day.  The SEM of the granules exhibited a mixed morphology on the surface of the granules while filamentous Methanothrix proliferation could be clearly seen in the interior of the granule. Methanoceata and Methanothrix are the two dominant species found in the granules.

Waterfall tourism can be a source of economic income for local communities, but it is important that it be conducted in a sustainable manner. Promoting responsible tourism implies guaranteeing the conservation of the surrounding ecosystems, respecting established norms, and educating visitors about the importance of protecting these natural areas. In the binational border of Colombia and Ecuador in the last 10 years after the post-conflict process, nature activities have included visits to waterfalls, but there is little information to put into context the importance and characteristics of waterfalls from a landscape approach. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the importance of waterfalls in nature tourism and to describe the aspects that characterize and describe a waterfall from a landscape approach. In order to respond to these objectives, a bibliographic review of the scientific literature in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science was used. The main results indicate the ecosystemic and economic importance for the development of sustainable tourism, and that the characteristics to evaluate its scenic beauty should consider physical and anthropic characteristics. Finally, it is essential to focus efforts on evaluating tourists who have previously visited waterfalls so that they can describe and indicate their preferences.

Tarihin çeşitli dönemlerinde olduğu gibi uluslararası ticarette engellerin kaldırılmasının ülkelerin kalkınmasında önemli bir faktör olduğu bilinmektedir. Artan ticaret hacmiyle birlikte Ekonomik Bütünleşme daha etkin kaynak dağılımı yaratan ve işlem maliyetlerini azaltan önemli bir araç olarak öne çıkmıştır. Ekonomik Bütünleşme aşamaları, piyasada oluşan yüksek işlem maliyetlerini en aza indirebilmek amacıyla ortaya çıkan kurumlardır. Bu çerçevede ekonomik bütünleşme aşamalarını “Yeni Kurumsal İktisat” okulunun paradigmaları ile açıklamak önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bir kurum olarak tanımlanan ekonomik bütünleşmelerin ve organizasyon olarak tanımlanan Avrupa Birliği’nin işlem maliyetleri üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Yeni Kurumsal İktisat yaklaşımına göre işlem maliyetleri kurumlar ve organizasyonlar ile minimize edilebilmektedir. Bu nedenle kurumsal kaliteyi ölçebilmek için kamu etkinliği, regülasyon kalitesi ve hukuk devleti endeksleri bu çalışmada kullanılmıştır. Ekonomik bütünleşme aşamaları üzerinde, kurumların ve organizasyonların pozitif etkisinin olduğu ve işlem maliyetlerini minimize etmekte etkili oldukları vurgulanmıştır.
İNSAN HAKLARININ GELİŞİMİNDE VE SINIRLANDIRILMASINDA SİYASÎ İKTİDARIN ROLÜNÜ TÜRK TARİHİNDEKİ ANAYASACILIK HAREKETLERİ VE ANAYASALAR ÜZERİNDEN OKUMAK

İnsan hakları, insanlık tarihiyle yaşıt bir gelişim çizgisine sahiptir. Sümer Kralı Urukagina’dan Babil kralı Hammurabi’ye, Hz. Muhammed’den Kral John’a ve günümüze kadar siyasî iktidarı elinde tutanlar, insan haklarının hem gelişiminde hem de sınırlandırılmasında önemli bir rol üstlenmişlerdir. Tarihî süreçte muhtelif dinî, hukukî metinlerle ve örfî uygulamalarla koruma altına alınmış veya sınırlandırılmış olan insan hakları, üstün norm olan anayasaların 18. yüzyılda ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte farklı bir gelişim sürecine girmiştir. İnsan haklarının Türk tarihindeki gelişimi de yüzyıllar süren bir gelişim çizgisine sahip olmuştur. Türk tarihinde töreyle, şer’î hukuk kaynaklarıyla ve kanunnâmelerle koruma altına alınmış veya sınırlandırılmış olan insan haklarının, anayasal metinlerde kendine yer bulması, 1876 yılında Kânûn-ı Esâsî’nin ilânıyla gerçekleşmiştir. Daha sonra ilân edilen diğer Türk anayasalarında da (1921 Anayasası hariç) insan hakları güvence altına alınmış veya sınırlandırılmıştır. Anayasalarda yer alan insan haklarına yönelik sınırlandırma rejimleri, siyasî iktidarlar eliyle yapılan değişikliklerle birlikte kimi zaman daha demokratik hâle getirilmiş; kimi zaman da bu değişiklikler, insan haklarının sınırlandırılmasına yönelik hükümlerin daha anti-demokratik bir hâl almasına yol açmıştır.

Gelişmekte olan ülkeler, kalkınma hedeflerini gerçekleştirebilmek, ekonomik kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmak ve bu gelişmişlik seviyesini sürdürebilmek için gelişmiş ülkelerin desteğine ihtiyaç duyarlar. Türkiye gelişmekte olan bir ülke olduğu için artan nüfusu istihdam edebilmek ve sosyal refah seviyesini sürdürebilmek için yabancı sermayeye ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Yabancı yatırımcının yurt dışındaki merkezine Türkiye’de şube açması, Türkiye’de istihdam alanı yaratması, Türk üreticisinin ürettiği ürün ya da hizmetin uluslararası arenada hareketliliğini sağlaması açısından önemlidir. Dünyada liberalleşme ve küreselleşme karşısında uluslararası arenada rekabet etmek isteyen gelişmekte olan ülkeler, sermaye birikimi yetersizliği karşısında devlet destekli yabancı yatırımlar ile kalkınma hedeflerine kısa sürede ulaşabilmektedirler.
Bu araştırmada yurt dışında merkezi bulunan doğrudan yabancı yatırımcıların Türkiye’de kurdukları şirketlerin devri sırasında yaşanan zorluklar ele alınmıştır. Küreselleşme çağında yabancı yatırımcılar, farklı pazarlarda ürünlerini satabilmek, sermayelerini artırabilmek için yaptıkları girişimlerde devir işlemleri sırasında karşılaştıkları sorunlar ele alınmıştır. Çok uluslu şirketlerin, Türkiye’de yatırım yapmak isteyen girişimcilerin yabancı sermayeli firmaların Türkiye’de şube açma işlemlerinde istenen belgeler, devir işlemleri ve bu devir işlemlerinde uyuşmazlıkların çözümü incelenmiştir.
