 Abstract

This paper is based on a research work on climate resilient water security for Bengaluru urban. UNIPCC 2021 10 pathways, national legal and state action plans for climate resilience are listed and used for a critique on Urban wastewater management. An Indigenous WATCHIT software for Water Quality Monitoring has been deployed for 34 urban stations' water quality assessment. Water balance for Bengaluru urban has been reviewed based on UN best practices formats. Validation by Environmentally Sound Technology and Ecological Engineering Principles are found relevant. Space enabled by geospatial temporal data and community participation is found climate resilient. A vision, agenda, and a time-bound action plan for climate-resilient water security at BWSSB are found necessary. Enabling the community to care for its water security mandates six specific actions that are suggested.

 Abstract

You want constant high quality in the goods you import, and you should demand the same from anybody dealing with you. Your firm will gain credibility and customer loyalty if it can reliably provide high-quality exports. There will be substantial savings in shipping costs when goods are transported by truck instead than flown. Even though trucking takes longer than flying, export volumes on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis must be taken into account. Depending on the form of exporting utilized, the same distance might be travelled for much less or significantly more money. In order to put the needs of your customers first and get the products to them as soon as possible, it may sometimes be necessary to fly.

 Abstract

Our approach relies on a method which normalizes the Fourier Descriptors (FDs) of image contour with its Laplace transform. Our approach is inspired the observations that the traditional Fourier transform of a 1-D is equivalent to the 2-D of image recognition. We compare between them throughout their efficient recognition. Digital image is basically array of various pixel values.[1] In the digital image Pixels of neighborhood are correlated and so that these pixels contain redundant bits. By using the compression algorithms redundant bits are removed from the image so that size image size is reduced and the image is compressed. Image compression Have two main Components: redundancy reduction and irrelevant data reduction redundancy reduction is achieved by removing extra bits or repeated bits. While in irrelevant reduction the smallest or less important information is omitted, which will not receive by receiver. By applying Fourier Descriptors or Laplace transform before compression algorithm we observe less peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR)

 Abstract

The ability to continuously innovate and improve products, services, and work processes is nowadays crucial for organizations. Innovative work behavior in a business depends on the characteristics of the working environment, including job demands and job resources, and has a significant impact on job performance. Through empirical research involving 252 auditors from 42 auditing firms, this research explores the relationship between working environment characteristics (job demands and job resources) and job performance in association with the mediating role of innovative work behavior. The research results indicate that the total impact of job demands and job resources on job performance was statistically significant at 5%, with job demands having a negative impact on job performance and job resources improving job performance. The result also shows that the intermediate role of innovative work behavior is relatively effective. Job demands do not directly affect job performance but wholly mediate through the innovative work behavior, while job resources both directly affect job performance and mediate through the innovative work behavior. In addition, the moderating role of the experience of auditors is revealed.

अब्राहम लिंकन के अनुसार “लोकतंत्र जनता का, जनता द्वारा और जनता के लिए शासन है”। भारत विश्व का सबसे बड़ा लोकतांत्रिक देश है। राजनीति में अपराधीकरण से तात्पर्य यह है कि राजनीति के अंदर अपराधियों का प्रवेश होना। अर्थात आपराधिक पृष्ठभूमि वाले लोगों का राजनेता और प्रतिनिधि के रूप में चुना जाना। जब अपराधी देश के कानून निर्माता बन जाएं तो उस देश का क्या हो सकता है? राजनीतिक दलों द्वारा सत्ता और वोट बैंक की राजनीति ने अपराधियों को राजनीति में आने के लिए विवश किया है। स्वतंत्रता के दो दशक तक अपराधी नेताओं को जिताने के लिए कार्य करते रहे परंतु 1980 के दशक तक आते आते अपराधी स्वयं चुनाव लड़ने लगे और जीतकर नेता बनने लगे। एसोसिएशन फॉर डेमोक्रेटिक रिफॉर्म्स (ADR) के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, 2019 के आम चुनाव में 43 प्रतिशत अपराधी नेता चुनकर आए हैं। इसमें लगभग सभी राजनीतिक दलों की स्थिति एक जैसी ही है। भारत में यह एक गंभीर समस्या है। इस पर गहन चिंतन और शोध की आवश्यकता है की राजनीति में अपराधीकरण के कारणों का पता कर उसका समाधान किया जाए नहीं तो यह समस्या हमारे लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था को छिन्न-भिन्न कर सकती है। देश की राजनीति में बाहुबलियों का वर्चस्व भविष्य में लोकतंत्र के लिए खतरा साबित हो सकता है।

 Abstract

Electricity theft is the primary cause of electricity power loss that significantly affects the revenue loss and the quality of electricity power. Nevertheless, the existing methods for the detection of this criminal behaviour of theft are diversified and dimensionality of time-series data makes it challenging to extract meaningful information. This paper addresses these problems by developing a novel electricity theft detection model, integrating three algorithms. The proposed method first applies the synthetic minority oversampling technique for balancing the dataset, secondly we apply pre-processing on smart meter data then do feature selection. Extensive experiments are performed by using real electricity consumption data, and results show that the proposed method outperforms other methods in terms of theft detection.

 Abstract

Concrete may take on the most energising forms while withstanding the harshest surroundings. With the help of contemporary admixtures and supplemental cementation materials, engineers are continually working to increase its performance (SCMs). Several supplemental cementations materials, which produce a portion of the cementations ingredient, are currently included in concrete mixtures. The primary benefit of SCM is its ability to partially replace cement in concrete while preserving the cementation properties. The qualities of concrete in its fresh and hydrated phases are enhanced by the use of waste material as SCM, which also aids in the consumption of these waste resources. Fly ash and silica fume are the most significant SCMs that are used most commonly because they increase the compressive strength and durability of concrete.

 Abstract

The use of mucoadhesive drug delivery systems is a promising innovation in the field of pharmaceuticals. Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems are particularly relevant for getting local and systemic drugs distribution in the Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT) for a prolonged period of time at a predetermined rate. This is in contrast to oral controlled release drug delivery systems, which are often subject to extensive presystemic metabolism and degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach, resulting in insufficient absorption of the drugs. One of the advantages of mucoadhesive drug delivery systems is that they allow for direct passage of medication into the systemic circulation through the buccal mucosa, which is the lining of the mouth. This results in easy administration without pain, brief enzymatic activity, less hepatic metabolism, and higher bioavailability of the drug. Additionally, mucoadhesive drug delivery systems do not require extensive patient compliance or supervision, as is often the case with parental drug delivery systems.The mechanism of mucoadhesion involves the interaction between the mucoadhesive polymer and the mucus layer of the mucosal surface. Mucoadhesive polymers are designed to adhere to the mucosal surface and remain in place for an extended period of time, allowing for a sustained release of the drug. In-vitro and in-vivo mucoadhesion testing techniques are used to evaluate the efficacy of the mucoadhesive drug delivery system.In summary, mucoadhesive drug delivery systems offer several advantages over traditional oral controlled release and parental drug delivery systems, including higher bioavailability of the drug, ease of administration, and sustained release. Further research is needed to optimize the design of mucoadhesive drug delivery systems and to fully understand their potential in the field of pharmaceuticals.

 Abstract

Nonlinear optics (NLO) single crystals are materials that exhibit strong nonlinear optical properties and are critical for the development of various optical applications. The growth and characterization of NLO single crystals play a significant role in determining their optical and physical properties. The growth process involves melting the starting material and cooling it to form a single crystal. The resulting crystal's quality is dependent on various factors such as the purity of the starting material, the growth rate, and the control of the crystal's morphology. Characterization techniques commonly used include X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and second harmonic generation. These techniques provide information on the crystal's structure, orientation, molecular structure, optical properties, and nonlinear response. Overall, the growth and characterization of NLO single crystals are critical for the development of various applications that rely on the strong nonlinear optical properties of these materials.
