Unravelling the Tapestry: Quantum Physics, Biocentrism, and Indian Philosophy

In the intricate dance between the scientific and the metaphysical, the realms of quantum physics, biocentrism, and Indian philosophy converge, offering profound insights into the nature of reality. This article embarks on a journey to explore the interconnected threads that weave through these seemingly distinct domains, revealing a tapestry that challenges our understanding of existence

Animation: A Learning Tool

Childhood has changed rapidly over the past few years and the methods that we use as teachers and educators of children and young people should reflect these changes. Children learn best and most when they enjoy what they are doing. Using animation as a tool to encourage and develop children’s learning is not only fun but effective! This thesis presents the Animation as an effective learning tool. The very common definition of Animation is representation of images to create an illusion of movement. If I draw a series of images, showing a man walking with each picture having one specific position of his leg movement. If we show these entire set of images one after other real quick, the man magically seems to move! This is the basic ideology behind animation. The project start with research work dealing with the understanding of animation, colours used in a particular scenes where one is trying to focus, psychological behaviour of colours and its impact on viewer. In movie’s colour graphics use of colours is very clear, intensity of colours are used in such a way that it doesn’t distract the person watching it or disturb the person in some mean and which looks amusing to the viewer. Colour graphics in any movie, whether with living character or animated describe the scenes with talk between the character, their motion and the scenery means background. Many times it’s the scenery which attract the people and also character looks beautiful in that scenery. But it’s very important to their intensity of which is used as a more informal knowledge source and understanding the problem of students awareness and their attitude towards the computer graphics and how they use it to increase their knowledge about the animation, graphics and specially colour graphics and it challenges the psychology behind understanding the things if taught with help of graphics or motion of pictures. The research trying to state that basic things and general information can be shown or told directly but through animation or graphics specially colour graphics it leaves a mark on people’s mind and it is interesting and it’s easy to understand if taught with a better understanding of colours and way animation should be represented, so nobody gets bored and student enjoy watching it

Establishing Library Learning Commons in Universities of India: A Case Study of BHU Library System

Traditional libraries have recognition as a physical space, as a physical collection, and as a traditional scribe in the era of industrial society and before. At present, the paradigm shift due to the advent of computer technology, information technology (IT) and information communication technology (ICT) has changed the way of information seeking, reading habits, learning methods, and even social connectivity and interactions of the society. Furthermore, these changes can be seen in the reading habits, information search, learning and teaching methods of students and faculty members engaged in higher education and research works. These transformations in users laid academic libraries to adopt new collections, services, tools and techniques, and more skilled staffs. It has also forced academic libraries to redesign their existing services, resources, and physical spaces with the addition of digital services, digital resources, and virtual spaces. All these tend to transform service delivery models and to reshape the reading areas according to the learning and reading habits of the users, especially digital native and net generation users. The Learning Commons (LC) is one of the new services which came into existence due to these transformations. Library Learning Commons (LLCs) are collaborative learning spaces in libraries for both students and faculties which provide a convenient, comfortable, flexible and more productive environment for learning, reading and research work. The purpose of this article is to provide a perspective on informal library learning commons developed in BHU Library System and to find the feasibilities to acquire new techniques and services to cope with the continuous paradigm shift towards the digital environment

Study of neutron multiplicity in 232^{232}Th (n,f) reaction using TALYS-1.96

The nuclear scientific community views $^{232}$Th as an option for fuel in the future nuclear energy program. Numerous experimental studies have been conducted to determine the cross-section; however, very few have been performed to calculate the total neutron multiplicity above 10 MeV energy. In this work, we have compared the experimental data of average neutron multiplicity at different incident energies from EXFOR with the evaluated data from ENDF/B-VI, JENDL-4.0, and the calculated data from TALYS-1.96. The experimental data are in good agreement with the evaluated data from both the ENDF/B-VI and JENDL-4.0 libraries and at high incident energy (7 MeV), the TALYS-1.96 data are also in agreement with the experimental data

Economic Analysis of Tomato Cultivation in Kandi Block of West-Bengal, India

In the present study an attempt has been made to study the economic analysis of tomato cultivation in Kandi block, Murshidabad district, West Bengal. For this 60 tomato growers selected from the study area. The primary data for the agriculture year 2016-17 were collected by personal interviews of the selected farmer, using a multistage sampling method with the help of pre-tested survey schedule. The main objectives were to analyze the cost and return structure of tomato cultivation and to identify the major constraints faced by the farmers in tomato cultivation. The total sample size was 60. Simple statistical tools like Averages, percentages, cost concepts and garrett ranking were used to interpret the results properly. The overall findings of the study reveal that the cost of cultivation of tomato  was ` 50879.94 out of which total variable cost was ` 40456.52. The net income of the farmers per acre.was ` 83385.80. Output in the study area found to be 8853 kg per acre and cost of production was estimated ` 5.74 per kg. The major constraints identified in tomato cultivation were Non availability of institutional support, disease and pest attack, high cost of seeds, high cost of pesticides and high cost of labours during peak season etc

SCREENING OF SOME MEDICINAL PLANTS FOR THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES

Objective: Our objective of this research work was to investigate antimicrobial activity of five species of traditionally used medicinal plants namely Adhatoda vasica, Artemisia annua, Cordia oblique, Croton bonplandianum and Euphorbia milli against different strains of bacteria and fungi which are known to cause various types of infectious diseases.Methods: Organic extracts of these plants leaves (dry) were prepared, and antimicrobial sensitivity of these organic extracts (Hexane, chloroform, acetone, and methanol) against selected bacterial and fungal strains were performed by disc diffusion assay method and Resazurin-based Microtitre Dilution Assay method.Results: Among these plants, Cordia oblique (chloroform extract) and Croton bonplandianum (Hexane extract), which showed superior antimicrobial activity in the primary screening test. Croton bonplandianum showed the maximum yield (7.3%) and Adhatoda vasica showed minimum yield (0.57) of plant extract. Chloroform extracts of Cordia oblique and hexane extract of Croton bonplandianum showed very good antimicrobial activity (MIC 0.37 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. With this Artemisia annua (chloroform extract) showed very remarkable antifungal activity (MIC 0.37 mg/ml) against Aspergillus niger. Among the different fractions (Hexane, chloroform, acetone and methanol) tested for antimicrobial activity, the non-polar fractions were more active than the polar fractions.Conclusion: In this study all the tested plants Adhatoda vasica, Artemisia annua, Cordia oblique, Croton bonplandianum and Euphorbia milli showed antimicrobial activity against at least one strain of bacterium and fungus. This might justify their claimed uses in the treatment of various infectious diseases. Keywords: Antimicrobial activity, Crude plant extracts, Organic extracts, Medicinal plant
