Experimental Investigation of FSW on Al 6061-T6 MG Dissimilar Joints
Abstract: Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that has shown significant potential for welding dissimilar materials, such as aluminum and magnesium alloys, which are difficult to join using conventional fusion welding methods due to large differences in their physical, thermal, and metallurgical properties. During FSW, contact between the rotating, wear-resistant tool shoulder, the pin, and the work piece produces frictional energy. Additional thermal energy develops because of intense …

Women-Centric Healing Retreat Architecture: Translating Emotional, Social, Psychological, and Cultural Needs into Spatial Design
Abstract: This study investigates how the emotional, social, psychological, and cultural needs of women can inform the architectural design of healing retreat environments. Women often experience distinct pressures related to safety, emotional labour, social responsibilities, cultural expectations, and personal well-being, which can influence how they perceive and use spaces. Despite the growing interest in wellness architecture, many healing environments continue to follow gender-neutral approaches and may not adequately respond to women’s …

Intersections between Architecture and Culture and Heritage Management
Abstract: Architecture and culture are deeply interconnected, with each influencing and reflecting the other over time. Buildings are more than physical structures; they represent the beliefs, traditions, values, and lifestyles of the communities that create them. As societies evolve, architecture becomes a living record of their social, political, economic, and technological development. At the same time, cultural heritage management plays a crucial role in protecting and preserving these architectural assets, ensuring …

Sustaining Artisan Livelihoods through Community Cooperative Housing: A Socio-Spatial Study of the Kumbhar Community in Pune, India
Abstract: This research addresses the problem in contemporary community housing. Housing is delivered as a physical product, while the social, economic, and cultural systems that sustain community life are largely ignored. In the resettlement of the Kumbhar (potter) Community in Pune, equal land was allotted without cohesive architectural planning, which has led to fragmented spatial organisation, underutilised work areas, conflicts over resources, unclear boundaries, and a decline in economic efficiency due …

Preservation to Continuity:Reconsidering Heritage Management Paradigms
Abstract: Conventional heritage management frameworks largely treat heritage as a finite collection of monuments and protected sites, prioritizing material conservation over cultural continuity. In rapidly transforming socio-urban contexts, such approaches often fail to address the dynamic relationships between heritage, lived cultural practices, and collective memory. The primary objective of this study is to develop a holistic heritage management framework that integrates tangible and intangible heritage through participatory governance and adaptive policy …

Chemistry of Mehandi (Henna): Natural Dyeing Mechanism, Composition, and Applications
Abstract: Mehandi (Henna), derived from the plant Lawsonia inermis, is one of the oldest natural dyes used for body art, hair coloring, and traditional medicinal applications. Beyond its cultural significance, henna represents an interesting example of applied organic chemistry, where naturally occurring molecules interact with biological tissues to produce long-lasting coloration. The primary coloring constituent of henna is Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), a naphthoquinone compound responsible for the characteristic reddish-brown stain. When henna …

Effectiveness of Postoperative Exercise in Recovery Among Patients with Kidney Stones: A Case Study
Abstract: Kidney stone disease is a common urological condition that often requires surgical intervention for effective management, especially in cases where stones are large or symptomatic. Postoperative recovery plays a crucial role in preventing complications, promoting early return to normal activities, and reducing the risk of recurrence. This case study explores the effectiveness of structured postoperative exercise in enhancing recovery among patients who have undergone surgical treatment for kidney stones. The …

Dynamic Matrix Control Versus Nonlinear ModelPredictive Control for the Van de Vusse ContinuousStirred-Tank Reactor: Diagnosing and Correcting aCost-Function Pathology That Masked NMPC’sTrue Performance
Abstract: The Van de Vusse reaction in a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) is a benchmark for nonlinear multivariable control, but its narrow operating envelope creates a trap for nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC): when the setpoint step is small relative to the plant’s reachable range, a standard quadratic NMPC cost function can make zero control action mathematically optimal, even with a perfect prediction model. This paper documents that failure mode, traces …

Sonochemical Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles:Process Fundamentals, Scale-Up Challenges, andIndustrial Opportunities
Abstract: The sonochemical synthesis of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) has emerged as a powerful and widely investigated strategy in nanomaterials research, owing to the unique physicochemical conditions generated during ultrasonic irradiation. Acoustic cavitation induced by sonication produces transient microenvironments characterized by extremely high local temperatures, pressures, and rapid cooling rates, which collectively enable efficient reduction of copper precursors into nanoscale particles. These conditions cannot be easily achieved through conventional synthetic routes, …

Getting Rid of Carbon: A New Direction for the Chemical Industry
Abstract: The chemical industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions due to its reliance on fossil-based feedstocks, energy-intensive processing routes, and long-lived capital infrastructure. Achieving international climate targets therefore requires deep decarbonisation across the entire chemical value chain, a transition complicated by technological limitations, economic risks, and systemic operational barriers. This article critically evaluates key emission-reduction pathways, including electrification of process heat, substitution of fossil resources with bio-based …
