A Study to Assess the Knowledge and Preventive Measures Adopted by the Mothers of Infants Regarding Water Borne Diseases in a Selected Area of Ferozepur, Punjab
Abstract: Waterborne diseases are conditions caused by pathogenic micro-organisms that are transmitted in water. These diseases can be spread while bathing, washing, drinking water, or by eating food exposed to contaminated water. Diarrhoea is a leading killer of children, accounting for approximately 8% of all deaths among children under age 5, worldwide in 2017. In 2015, deaths from diarrhoea in Indian children under five accounted for 10% (117,285) of all deaths …

Exploring the Utilization of Bakelite Waste as a Partial Coarse Aggregate Replacement in Concrete: An Assessment of Mechanical Properties and Durability
Abstract: Abstract The burgeoning challenge of plastic waste management has prompted researchers to seek sustainable alternatives within various sectors, particularly in the construction industry, which is a significant consumer of raw materials. This study thoroughly investigates the viability of incorporating Bakelite waste, a type of thermosetting plastic known for its durability and resistance to degradation, as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates in concrete formulations. Concrete mixtures were meticulously designed with …

Development of a Conceptual Framework for Licensing of Nuclear Cogeneration Plants: Insights based on the Indian Experience and Global Best Practices
Abstract: Nuclear cogeneration projects represent industrial scale non-electric applications of nuclear power, providing value added products and services such as freshwater, high grade heat, hydrogen and other power fuels, district heating, etc. These projects are typically coupled (either thermally and/or electrically) to the secondary cycle of the power plant and can cater to multiple on and off site users. With growing interest in nuclear power and increasing recognition of the role …

Features of Nanoflotation Technique – A Review
Abstract: ABSTRACT Flotation method is majorly availed in two sectors: mining industry (for separation of metal ores) and in wastewater treatment process (both for municipal and industrial wastewaters) for separation of suspended solids, emulsions, chemical sludge or excess sludge. Traditional flotation relies on floating of solids (mainly suspended solids) on the top of the liquid by air bubbles (in conventional process they have and average diameter of 100–300 μm). Better separation …

Monitoring Nature of Nairobi City Land Features from Landsat 5 Images Using Index-Based Mapping
Abstract: Urban environments are complex and heterogeneous ecosystems characterized by mixed land use and land cover (LULC). They form important centers of social integration and generation of national wealth. However, urban areas especially in developing countries suffer from poor planning; mismanagement and uncoordination. Evaluation of dynamics driven by LULC changes in these ecosystems is key in management of urban areas. In evaluating urban environments, land use and land cover mapping using …

Thermal Management Of Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Battery Using A Wavy Tube
Abstract: To maintain a proper temperature range and eliminate local temperature disparities, thermal management is required for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. A wavy tube is presented for a liquid cooling cylindrical lithium-ion battery module in this research. On the suggested battery module, three-dimensional transient simulations were run, and numerical improvements were made by changing the wavy contact angle of the wavy tube. The heat dissipation efficiency and temperature field homogeneity …

A Review on Potential use of Bioherbicides for preventing the growth of weed plants
Abstract: Like pests, disease and other hazards weeds are one of the major problems for farmers. They not only compete with crops for water, nutrients, sunlight, and space but also harbor insect and disease pests, clog irrigation and drainage systems undermine crop quality and deposit weed seeds into crop harvests. They can heavily damage the production of crops as well as they reduce the value of land. Weeds can also host …

Challenges of Basic Infrastructural Provision to Building Sustainable Peri-urban Communities in Jos Metropolis, Nigeria
Abstract: The desire of goal 11 of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is geared towards making cities inclusive, safe, resilience and sustainable. However, rapid urbanization of Jos metropolis has led to overflow of its population into peri-urban areas. These areas are swamped by low and medium income groups for housing developments resulting in spatial growth characterized by poor and lack of basic infrastructure that residents are forced to live without, thus, threatening …

Effect of House Hold Waste Glass on mechanical properties of concrete
Abstract: Waste management is of great problem in current scenario. A huge amount of waste is generating from various industries in large amount. A few amounts can be recycled otherwise lots of them as a waste to dump into the dump yard. This waste is creating problem in surrounding area which also impact on environment. Other side the problem related to river sand is increasing due to large exploration of river …

Innovative Concrete Composites: Assessing Mechanical Strength with Fly Ash, Glass, and Granite Waste Incorporation
Abstract: Waste management poses a significant challenge for countries in both current and future contexts. The generation of solid waste from various industries, such as stone, glass, coal, and tires, constitutes a major issue in India, leading to significant environmental and health concerns for the surrounding population. This study addresses these challenges by exploring the utilization of waste granite and glass powder as materials to replace sand and cement, respectively, with …

Next-Generation Radioactive Waste Treatment and Long-Term Containment Strategies
Abstract: *Author for Correspondence Sri Charitha Annam E-mail: [email protected] The safe management and disposal of radioactive waste is one of the most critical unsolved challenges in the continued development and use of nuclear energy. Radioactivity is the emission of energy from a radioactive material. Most of the time, this energy is used for power, medical, and industrial purposes. Unfortunately, all this use of energy gives rise to its waste. The impact …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …
