Compression-Only Life Support (COLS) for Laypersons: A Practical Approach to Cardiac Emergency Management
Abstract: Hemodynamic tissue perfusion is regulated by the pumping heart; the specialized cardiac cells have an autorhythm property that enables the heart to beat throughout life. When the pumping capability of the heart diminishes due to tissue ischemia, it leads to dysfunction. Pathological factors result in a decreased supply of blood to cardiac cells. Coronary circulation is at risk of stenosis due to spasm, plaque, or sclerosis, causing tissue hypoxia, injury, …

Data Science for Environmental Modelling
Abstract: Abstract: Soil moisture is a critical Earth system variable linking atmospheric, hydrological, and ecological processes. However, observations are sparse and fragmented: in situ gauges provide point data, satellite missions (SMAP, SMOS, Sentinel-1) offer broad coverage at coarse resolutionQ, and land‐surface models (GLDAS, ERA5, etc.) yield estimates with their own biase. Here we propose a conceptual framework for integrated environmental data modelling, combining rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture information with machine …

Redevelopment and Its Context-Specific Concerns
Abstract: Redevelopment has replaced the word “development” in popular discourse on Indian Cities. Our cities are being transformed through this process. When we examine redevelopment from various perspectives, one notices paradoxes and conflicts. This makes it even more important to see redevelopment from these varied viewpoints so that the approach to redevelopment is not simplistic and short-sighted. The context itself needs introspection as it changes and is time, space and culture-bound. …

Liquid Architecture: Cultural Narratives, Spatial Metaphors, and the Evolution of Fluid Form
Abstract: Liquid architecture represents a fundamental rethinking of architectural space, moving away from the long-standing assumption that buildings must be static, permanent, and formally fixed. Rather than understanding architecture as an object defined by rigid boundaries and stable geometry, liquid architecture proposes space as a fluid condition shaped by movement, atmosphere, perception, and cultural meaning. Rooted in cultural theory, phenomenology, and spatial anthropology, this approach views architecture as an evolving narrative …

From Stress to Serenity: Adaptive Living Spaces for the Modern Tech Workforce
Abstract: Modern I.T. professionals often work long, irregular hours, seated for extended periods while managing deadlines, virtual meetings, and continuous digital interruptions. As homes increasingly function as hybrid workplaces, most residential interiors remain ill-equipped for this dual role, characterized by compact layouts, standardized furniture, inadequate lighting, and a lack of spaces for psychological detachment. This research advocates for adaptive and human-centered interior environments that promote physical comfort, mental well-being, and flexible …
