Parametric Analysis and Modeling of die-sinking Electric Discharge Machining of Al6061/SiC Metal Matrix Composite Using Copper Electrode
Authors: Kumar Singh Bipul , Kumar Maurya Ankit , Mishra Sanjay , Kumar Singh Anjani
Published: December 2023

Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (MMC) are widely used in
modern industries due to their lightweight, high strength, and superior hardness. In this
study, silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced MMC has been fabricated using the stir casting
method. Die-sinking EDM of fabricated MMC was performed using a copper (Cu)
electrode. Experiments were carried out using the response surface methodology of
box-behnken design (BBD) (RSM). The response surface plot was used to do
parametric analysis on the effect of peak current (Ip
), gap voltage (Vg
), pulse-on-time
(Ton), and duty factor(τ) on material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra)
using a second order regression model. The interaction effect of current with a pulse on
time and duty factor has a substantial effect on MRR, while the interaction of current
and voltage has a major impact on Ra, according to ANOVA. The increase of current
increases both MRR and Ra. In the case of pulse-on-time, the value of Ra begins to
decrease after 150 µs when the machining is performed at low voltage (40 V).
Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite: A Review
Authors: Singh Satendra , Kumar Gupta Pankaj
Published: December 2023

The manufacturing industry uses a variety of materials, including pure
metals, alloys and composites. Due to the inability of pure metals to meet the demands
of modern products, a transition in materials from pure metals to composites is taking
place. Composite materials are invented to attain the desired properties, including
lightweight, high strength, creep resistance, high corrosion resistance, fatigue
resistance, high-temperature resistance and high wear resistance. Natural plant fibers,
such as flax, hemp, kenaf, jute, sisal, coir and cotton, are a reliable source for
producing composites because they have various advantages over synthetic fibers,
including cheaper cost, low specific gravity, biodegradability, lightweight, fewer health
hazards, availability, low-grade greenhouse emissions and high flexibility. Natural
fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NF-RPC) are commonly utilized in automotive
applications because they are lighter in weight, resulting in lower fuel consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions. The mechanical properties of NF-RPC, such as tensile
strength, Young’s modulus, flexural strength, hardness and many others, are affected
by several factors, for example, fiber aspect ratio, the weight percentage of fiber,
different orientations of fiber, usage of the fabrication process, chemical compositions
of fiber and different pre-treatments of fiber. Therefore, in this article, some specific
applications, mechanical properties, fabrication techniques of NF-RPC, and methods to
enhance the properties of natural fibers, have been discussed.
Modelling the Effects of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Interphase Parameters on Mechanical Properties of CNT-Reinforced Nanocomposites
Authors: Mishra Saurabh , Kumar Surendra , Kumar Amit
Published: December 2023

CNT-reinforced polymer nanocomposites are emerging as a pioneer material
for structural applications because of their enhanced mechanical properties as
compared with neat polymers. The load transfer mechanisms and effective mechanical
properties of these nanocomposites are strongly influenced by CNT parameters
(volume fraction, length, aspect ratio, etc.), and thickness and mechanical properties of
the interfacial region between the embedded CNT and the matrix. In this paper,
modelling studies have been carried out to analyze the effects of these parameters on
the effective elastic properties of a polymethyl methacrylate matrix embedded with
single-walled CNTs. A three-phase continuum mechanics-based 3-D model of the
nanocomposite is analyzed using the finite element method to predict the effect of an
interphase on the elastic properties (elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio) of the
nanocomposite in longitudinal and transverse directions. The effect of the interphase
having a varied modulus (ranging from that of CNT to that of matrix) through its
thickness is also investigated. The Mori-Tanaka homogenization method is also applied
to the three-phase and multi-phase micromechanical models to determine its feasibility
in estimating the influence of the interphase on the elastic properties of the
nanocomposite

Authors: P Suganya Devi  , K. Savitha R Shenoy  , Sri Nagesh K A
Published: December 2023

Sandhigata Vata is a disease mentioned under Vatavyadhi in Ayurvedic classics which can be Dhatukshaya Janya or Avarana Janya.[1] The prevalence of Sandhigata Vata is found to be higher with advancement in age which inhibits the ambulation of major population. The quality of life rapidly drops down because of hampered day to day activities. One of the reasons for this prevailing condition is probably because of existing lacuna in establishing appropriate treatment protocol. Resolving this requires, proper understanding of Chikitsa Siddhanta (Ayurvedic treatment principles) like Dosha Pratyanika Chikitsa, Vyadhi Pratyanika Chikitsa, Vyatyasa Chikitsa etc. pertaining to Sandhigata Vata which are scattered in our classical texts.  Hence there is a need to understand this disease clinically with the help of appropriate Chikitsa Siddhanta to subdue the grey area concerned with effective management of Sandhigata Vata. Acquiring the knowledge of a disease based on Chikitsa Siddhanta would enable us to accomplish target oriented treatment and attain clarity over subject. Ayurvedic management of Sandhigata Vata has an upper hand compared to other contemporary sciences as, Ayurvedic management targets in treating root cause of Vyadhi rather than just symptomatic treatment. In the present study, a single case of Sandhigata Vata has been taken, studied and is explained by holding the basic principles of Chikitsa Siddhanta.

Concept of Ama in Ayurvedic Medicine
Authors: Joshi Akanksha , Ankita Sajwan  , Basant Kumar Thakur
Published: December 2023

Ama is derived from the ‘Am’ Dhatu + ‘Nich’ Pratyaya. Ama is the substance which remains unripe, uncooked, immature and undigested. It means the substance which is still unripe and undergoes further digestion and associated changes. It is the outcome of improper digestion, the main cause of which is Agnimandya. It denotes the impaired metabolism that leads to build up the toxins, which cannot be neutralized or eliminated easily by the body. Ama vitiates Doshas and disturbs the Dhatu Samya, which lead to combination of Dosha and Mala by which the pathogenesis is initiated to develop certain diseases like Amavata, Grahani Dosha, Katigat Vata, Tamak Swasa etc. Thus, Ama denotes the transition from physiology to pathological conditions as it is the precursor of many inflammatory, infective and degenerative changes that ultimately causes the fully fledged diseases.

Published: December 2023

Background. Abdominal aneurysm is considered a formidable pathological condition that requires prompt treatment. Despite the improvement of medical equipment and postoperative care, mortality due to ruptured abdominal aneurysm is still close to 50 %. The purpose of this review was to investigate and evaluate currently available techniques for treating ruptured abdominal aneurysm to find best methods. Materials and methods. Using keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria, a search, analysis, and systematization of information sources from foreign databases for the last 5–10 years was carried out. Results. It was found that endovascular aortic aneurysm correction is the optimal method for both planned and emergency treatment of aortic aneurysm and its rupture. According to the Cochrane Specialized Register, it was found that endovascular repair is associated with a reduction in early morbidity and mortality after abdominal aneurysm, compared with other methods of surgical treatment. Conclusions. The study revealed that unlike open methods of surgery, endovascular techniques are associated with a lower risk of complications in the form of intestinal ischaemia. However, there is currently no sufficient evidence base to confirm a lower risk of complications from other organ systems. Similarly, to date, no difference in mortality rates has been found one month after surgery comparing endovascular and open surgical methods, which requires further research. Data from this review can be used for further, broader analyses of the literature, as well as for the design of original clinical trials.

Published: December 2023

Microbial cellulases are an important industrial enzyme having diverse applications in biotechnology, environmental challenges, industrial products and processes. Extremophiles like thermophillic bacteria are a good source of industrially important cellulases as these can withstand industrially rigorous procedures like paper deinking, fabric material softening, bio stoning, paper and pulp, biopolishing cloth material, animal feed and juice. Identification of novel cellulases or improving them through biotechnological interventions has remained a challenge for researchers. Genetic manipulation of thermophilic bacteria for increased cellulase production or synthetic biology approaches for cellulase gene/gene cluster extraction from thermophilic bacteria and expression in appropriate hosts for improved cellulase synthesis. The classic and high-throughput technologies like genomics, metagenomics and bioinformatics could be exploited to isolate cellulase genes from a variety of thermophilic bacteria and further processing. Keeping in view the ultimate requirement of extremophilic cellulases in industries, present study is a compilation of various aspects related to extremophilic cellulases their sources, production, biotechnological interventions and challenges.

This research described the relevance of monitoring outstanding audit issues and findings in the Development Bank of the Philippines. It identified several factors contributing to these issues based on responses from participants. First, the study revealed that the presence of dependencies with other units or external parties is the primary factor leading to unresolved audit issues. Second, change management and personnel issues were also found to be substantial contributors. Organizational culture, while noteworthy, ranked third among the factors. Interestingly, the research found that the current monitoring process using the audit management system is generally satisfactory, with an average rating of 8, indicating overall contentment among respondents. Finally, the study investigated effective mechanisms for tracking the progress of resolving audit findings. Periodic progress reports and updates emerged as the most favored approach, followed by escalation processes and automated notifications. These findings provide valuable insights into the factors contributing to unresolved audit issues and suggest practical strategies for improving the audit resolution process.

This research is motivated by understanding the language and culture of other people in a society is very important, especially for international students who do not understand other languages and cultures that they encounter in other countries, for example how to act and behave. The position of international students is that they are individuals who enter and meet a new culture and situation. International students entering a new environment is not an easy thing, of course they need adjustments to face language and cultural differences. During this adjustment, international students usually experience culture shock or culture shock. Culture shock is a normal phenomenon for international students due to differences in language, culture, social environment and daily habits. This type of research is qualitative with descriptive methods. The respondent data in this research consisted of 3 BIPA international students. Data collection using observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman analysis model. Based on data analysis and discussion, the results obtained: Forms of cross-cultural understanding of BIPA international students at Andalas University 1) Patterns of perception in the results of interviews with BIPA international students, namely (a) recognizing Indonesian, (b) recognizing Indonesian culture, and (c) interpreting information about Indonesian language and culture 2) Conceptualization in the results of BIPA international student interviews, namely (a) interpreting differences in Indonesian language and culture, and (b) resolving an Indonesian language and culture problem 3) Communication in the results of BIPA international student interviews, namely (a) being able to speak Indonesian, and (b) can interact, international students interact well using two languages, namely Indonesian and English.
Implementation and Recognition of Waste Management in Smart Cities Using IOT
Authors: Mhaske Rohini Bhausaheb
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is enabled by the proliferation of devices such as RFIDs, sensors, and actuators. As an expected infrastructure for the envisioned concept of a Smart City, the Internet of Things (IoT) opens up new possibilities for city management. The Internet of Things vision presents intriguing and cost-effective alternatives for big data collection. The municipal rubbish bins are overflowing in many places, and they must be cleaned on a regular basis. Recently, it has been observed that dustbins in public places such as hospitals, educational institutes, and industries are overflowing. Overflowing garbage cans produce unsanitary conditions that can spread disease. Furthermore, the rapid increase in population waste leads to inefficient waste management. We designed a new method, the "Smart City Garbage Collection Monitoring System," to avert this issue. Urbanisation has increased dramatically in recent decades. At the same time, trash output is increasing. Waste management has been an important subject to consider. This system is a means of achieving this noble goal. The smart bin in this article is developed on a microcontroller-based platform Arduino UNO board, which is interfaced with a GSM modem and Ultrasonic sensor, as well as the weight Sensor, which is used to calculate the weight of the dustbins. Arduino will be programmed so that when the dustbin is filled, the remaining height from the threshold height will be displayed. Once the garbage reaches the threshold level, the ultrasonic sensor will trigger the location data, continuously alerting the required authority until the trash in the dustbin is squashed. According to the location, the power will send the message to the respective operator; a garbage vehicle can collect the garbage, which is done with the help of a robot mechanism.

Therapeutic Residential Service targets patients discharged after long-term hospitalization through the mediation of the care providers. The aim of this research was to identify the scientific production of the last ten years on the subject. A search on the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde - Psicologia Brasil (BVS-Psi), Scielo, and CAPES Periódicos database was conducted using the following terms in Portuguese: “cuidador” and “residência terapêutica”. A total of 15 texts were analyzed considering its year of publication, category, type of study, instruments and materials, results, and gaps. The results show a higher prevalence of studies in 2011 a lower in 2010, 2015 and 2017. Most of the papers (81,25%) are empirical studies and used semi-structured interviews (45,45%). It was observed that being a care provider brings the experience of ambiguous feelings with moments of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Physical and emotional overwhelming, and lack of support, supervision, training and continued education permeate the care providers experience. As for the gaps, it is noticeable the recommendation and justification of more studies on these professionals and the promotion of hearing and caring to their benefit. It is expected that this research contributes to stress the importance of considering the processes of mental health of the care providers, valuing the roles performed by them.

The learning process involves complex variables that can be discussed from the most diverse perspectives. Difficulties faced on this path are commonly attributed, by parents and teachers, to behavioral problems, inattention, neglect of studies, among others. However, clinical diagnostic practice in cases of school complaints often identifies that children have a good intellectual level, even with unsatisfactory school performance. Thus, the objective of this study was to relate school performance with the level of intelligence in students from a public elementary school unit. It was a quantitative, exploratory and cross-sectional research, which included a sample of 180 children with ages between 7 years and 11 years and 11 months, from elementary school at a public school in the Greater ABC-SP region. The School Performance Test (TDE) and the Non-verbal Intelligence Test (R2) were used as instruments, applied collectively. The results indicate that around 85% of children presented low academic performance, while 81% of children obtained scores at or above average in terms of intelligence level. These data indicate that, despite being intelligent, their academic performance was compromised. The results articulated the environment, social, political, economic factors and the institution itself as fundamental factors of this problem. In this way, it is possible to reflect that in the learning processes we do not only consider levels of intelligence, organic factors or intellectual deficits, but a look at the institution and the uniqueness of these children whose academic performance is impaired and, therefore, present severe learning difficulties.
