Published: December 2023

The twenty-first century has also been dubbed the "technological era" because everything is powered by technology and even humans live with it. Geographical Information Systems (GIS)[1] and Global Positioning Systems (GPS)1, which we use in our daily lives, plays a crucial role in the maintained order in the society, so making this the Police Department is the primary institution for maintaining order in society. And the police department has two major actions includes pre-action and post-action in the response to any violations, issues, public nuisance, anti-social behavior, and crime, among others. So with this in mind traffic management is also one of the phenomena under social order; a lack of attention to traffic management may lead to road accidents and other issues. Management of traffic violations is a tough task for the police officials to tackle and trace out manually, but at present the Karnataka State Police Department is fully fledged with technology, as a result of which the department now has E-Policing under the Karnataka Police-IT, with this discipline of geography as a professional discipline, by using GIS and GPS applications in traffic policing to prevent potential traffic violations and to tackle and trace out these issues.

Remote Sensing and Spatial analysis tools are used to identify the hydrocarbon prospective zones as subsurface hydrocarbon traps are not perfectly sealed and moves in the upward direction from the reservoir to the surface in the form of traces and alter the vegetation which can be recognized through several techniques. Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel 2A satellite images were used and spectral signatures such as Mineral Indices, Vegetation Index, Hydrothermal Alteration were analyzed to detect possible hydrocarbon sites in the study area. Mineral Indices namely clay carbonate, ferrous, and ferric indices were used to confirm and locate the hydrocarbon zones which is directly related to the detection of hydrocarbon micro seepage on the surface. Vegetation indices such as NDVI, GNDVI, SAVI, and Chlorophyll Index Green were investigated to narrow down the prospective areas, indicating chemical alteration in the soil and vegetation, giving an idea about the hydrocarbon prospective zones. Magnetic and gravity data were also collected to correlate these findings which shown anomalies in the study area and gave evidence for the prospect of hydrocarbon. Lineament extraction was performed to delineate the micro seepage zones in the study area. After combining all the data, the prospective zones of hydrocarbon and micro seepage in Upper Assam Shelf were located. Furthermore, a comparison study was conducted to identify prospective areas from analyzing both Sentinel 2A and Landsat 8 images. The results of the study demonstrated the effectiveness of remote sensing and spatial analysis tools in identifying hydrocarbon prospective areas in the region.
Analyzing the Effects of Repairman Failure in Stochastic Models of Non-Identical Redundant Systems
Authors: Shiv Kumar, Pooja Chauhan Manish Kumar, 
Published: December 2023

A stochastic analysis is presented here of a repairable system containing two non-identical units, one of which is a duplicate and the other is a main unit. When the units are operative, they have a direct complete failure. During his work with the main unit, a single repairman may encounter problems that may cause his work to fail. During the repair of the duplicate unit, the repairman encounters no problems. Duplicate units receive priority for repair and operation over primary units. After receiving treatment, the repairman can perform his duties with full efficiency. For failure rates of the units, negative exponential distributions were used, while for repair and treatment rates, arbitrary distributions were used. The semi-Markov process and regenerative point technique studied various possible transition states. The reliability characteristics of the system model have been examined numerically and graphically for various parameter values. The profit of the system has also been analyzed for some fixed values of repair and other maintenance costs.

Examining the Performance Management System as a Predictor of Organizational Effectiveness: Perspectives from the Indian Manufacturing Sector
Authors: Mr. K. K. Bajaj  
Published: December 2023

Regular and systematic assessment of performance is a crucial responsibility for management. It not only evaluates and monitors organizational growth but also provides career direction for individual employees. Establishing clear performance expectations, encompassing results, actions, and behaviors, helps employees understand their job requirements. Well-defined goals, coupled with regular performance assessments, are vital for defining corporate competencies and identifying skill gaps. This information serves as a valuable input for designing Human Resource Development (HRD) plans.
Despite the importance of performance appraisal systems, there is often a gap between intention and actual practice in many organizations. Previous research in Indian organizations revealed that existing performance management systems (PMSs) may allow for the use of appraisal data for administrative purposes, but there is a missing link between appraisal outcomes and the subsequent design and execution of developmental programs.
In light of this, researchers aimed to assess employees' perceptions of PMS and its role in achieving organizational effectiveness. A survey, including a questionnaire and focused group discussions, was conducted with a purposive sample of 200 professionals in Indian manufacturing industries. The analysis confirmed the association between PMS and organizational effectiveness. However, there were differing perceptions among line managers about PMS, and even when there was agreement, it did not lead to superior outcomes due to a lack of clarity in the existing system.
The discussions highlighted a distinct differentiation in the involvement of different levels of management in the performance appraisal mechanism. Additionally, the reciprocal trigonometric relationship between PMS, competency management systems, and training and development was emphasized.
Polymer-Based Strategies for Enzyme Immobilization: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Gupta D, Modi G  
Published: December 2023

Enzyme immobilization refers to the process of attaching or confining enzymes onto a solid support or within a matrix, often made of polymers or other materials. This immobilization creates a stable and controlled environment for the enzyme to interact with substrates and perform catalysis. The primary goal of enzyme immobilization is to enhance enzyme stability, reusability, and activity under specific conditions, making them more practical and efficient for various biotechnological, industrial, and medical applications.
Immobilization methods can vary widely, including physical adsorption, covalent bonding, entrapment within matrices, encapsulation, crosslinking, and more. These methods provide a means to control the interactions between the enzyme and the surrounding environment, affecting factors such as substrate accessibility, enzyme orientation, and stability.
Due to their ease of fabrication and superior structural adaptability, polymer compounds in a variety of physical forms, including beads, films, fibers,and coatings,have become popular as supportive materials for enzyme immobilization. For enzyme immobilization, a number of natural polymers, including agar, agarose, alginate, dextran, chitosan,and carrageenan, as well as synthetic polymers, such as polyamides, polystyrene, and polyacrylamide, are often employed as a carrier system. The immobilization offers a cost-effective system for various applications in biotechnology, industry, and research.

Published: December 2023

This study unveils an overview of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and how it may be churn out using a variety of mineral Admixtures and fibers. The Desire for enormous and intricate constructions in the present construction industry situation often leads to extreme concreting conditions. It can be tricky to ensure that an enormous quantity of heavy reinforcement in a reinforced concrete (RC) section is properly compacted without voids or honeycombs. Compaction by hand or mechanical vibrators is difficult in this situation. As a result, a new form of concrete dubbed self-compacting concrete (SCC) is designed. This concrete swiftly flows around the reinforcement and traverse the formwork's extremities. Self-compacting concrete is a form of concrete that can compact itself using only its own weight and no vibration. Self-compacting concrete is a type special concrete. This review studies demonstrates how fibers and other mineral admixtures are incorporated into SCC characteristics.

Authors: Ramya N., Anitha J, Pradeepa S, Tamilselvi N, Subhadra G D  
Published: December 2023

Fibre-reinforced concrete offers a practical and cost-effective solution for addressing micro-cracks and similar structural weaknesses in concrete. Traditional concrete is inherently weak in tension, necessitating measures to enhance its performance in this regard. One unconventional yet promising option for reinforcement is human hair due to its impressive tensile strength. Human hair fibres (HF) are readily available, affordable, and do not degrade quickly, which can contribute to environmental concerns. This study aims to investigate the impact of incorporating human hair fibres into plain cement concrete, with a focus on enhancing compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and crack prevention while promoting economic and eco-friendly concrete practices.
Prior to incorporating human hair fibres into the concrete mix, a meticulous cleaning process involving acetone is carried out. Experimental assessments were conducted on concrete beams, cubes, and cylinders, utilizing various proportions of human hair fibres (0%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% by weight of cement). The findings reveal that the introduction of human hair fibres as reinforcement leads to a noteworthy enhancement in concrete performance. Specifically, with a 2% inclusion of human hair fibres, we observed a 3.29% upsurge in compressive strength, a 10.87% increase in tensile strength, and a 12.69% improvement in flexural strength in comparison to traditional concrete.

Published: December 2023

The structure of a chemical compound is usually modelled as a graph, which is so-called a molecular graph. It has been found that some topological indices of a molecular graph are closely related to many physicochemical properties of its chemical compounds. From this relation, it arises the important inverse topological indices problem, that carry out a thorough search of the existence of a graph having its index value equal to a given integer. In this paper, we are interested in solving this problem for the first, second and third leap Zagreb indices of connected graphs. We are also restricting the solutions to trees and unicyclic graphs. It is shown that for every even non-negative integer k there exists a graph having its first leap Zagreb index value equal to k. For every non-negative integer k, except 2, there exists a graph having its second leap Zagreb index value equal to k and for every non-negative integer k, except 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, there exists a graph having its third leap Zagreb index value equal to k. The general formulas of leap Zagreb indices values for some certain trees and unicyclic graphs which are useful in this work are presented.

Gıda, insanoğlunun belki de en temel yaşam desteğidir. İnsanoğlu tarih boyunca gıdanın bozulmaya dönük yapısı ile mücadele etmiş ve çeşitli yöntemlerle bu durumun önüne geçmeye çalışmıştır. Bu işlemler arasında kurutma, tuzlama, tütsüleme, pastörize etme, dondurma gibi birçok yöntem gelişen teknoloji ile insanoğlunun kullanımına sunulmuştur. Ancak sanayileşme ile birlikte gıda bilimi ve teknolojisinin getirdiği yenilikler, gıdanın özgün yapısını değiştirmekle kalmamış, yoğun ve standart üretim ile besin zenginleştirme gibi çeşitli uygulamaların geliştirilmesine de olanak sağlamıştır. Özellikle 1980'li yıllardan itibaren gıda katkı maddelerinin kullanımı ve gıda işleme oranlarındaki artış ile maliyetleri düşürmek için yapılan birçok işlem bazı sorunları ve tartışmaları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu tartışmalardan biri de işlenmiş gıdaların tüketimindeki artış ile obezite, diyabet, metabolik sendrom ve bazı kanser türleri gibi bulaşıcı olmayan hastalıklar arasında bir ilişki olduğu yönündedir. Bu konuda yapılan araştırmalar bu tezi desteklemektedir. Ayrıca saha çalışmaları özellikle genç nüfusun beslenme tercihlerinin çoğunlukla aşırı işlenmiş-ultra işlenmiş gıda gruplarından yana olduğunu göstermiştir. Gıda bilimi ve teknolojisi alanında çalışan bilim insanlarının gıdaları işlenme özelliklerine göre sınıflandırmak amacıyla ortaya koydukları birçok şablon bulunmaktadır. Giderek daha popüler hale gelen NOVA sistemi de bunlardan biridir. Bu sistem gıdaları işleme özelliklerine göre 4 ana grupta sınıflandırmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada gıda işlemenin evrimi, gıdaların işleme özelliklerine göre sınıflandırılması kavramı, NOVA sistemi ve bu sistemle birlikte giderek daha fazla bilinir hale gelen ultra işlenmiş gıda kavramı ele alınmaktadır.
