Self-healing Polymer Nanocomposites study using filler effect
Abstract: Polymers, while versatile, often lack the desired mechanical strength, thermal stability, or barrier properties for high-performance applications. This limitation is elegantly addressed by creating polymer nanocomposites. These materials are formed by incorporating small amounts (typically 1-5 wt%) of nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, metal oxide nanoparticles) into a polymer matrix. The magic of nanocomposites lies in the incredibly high surface area-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles and their …

Parental Reporting of Speech-Language Stimulation Sources and Duration in Toddlers from Diverse Socioeconomic Groups in an Extended Family Setting
Abstract: Speech and language stimulation during early childhood is critical for communication, cognitive, and social development. This study investigated parental reports of speech and language stimulation sources and duration in 99 typically developing toddlers (1–3 years) from extended family settings across varied socioeconomic groups. Participants were categorized using the Modified Kuppuswamy Scale (2022), and data were collected through a validated researcher-designed checklist. Results indicated mothers as the primary language stimulators, followed …

Impact of Play-Based Interventions on SeparationAnxiety in Hospitalized Under-Five Children: ASystematic Review
Abstract: Background: Hospitalization in early childhood often triggers significant fear, anxiety, stress, and distress due to parental separation, unfamiliar environments, and medical procedures, which can hinder recovery and emotional stability. Play, a natural mode of self-expression, supports children’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development and serves as a non-pharmacological intervention that promotes coping and relaxation. Aim: This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of play-based interventions in reducing separation anxiety …

Assessment of Foundation for Pier
Abstract: AbstractThe design and assessment of pier foundations are crucial due to the substantial loads they mustsupport. Piers are subjected to significant structural and dynamic loads, requiring a robustfoundation system to ensure stability and prevent excessive settlement or failure. A mat foundation istypically selected to distribute these heavy loads over a large area, minimizing pressure on theunderlying soil. The bearing capacity is assumed to be based on the presence of a …
