Diagnosis of Krumi on the Basis of Sanjat Krumi Lakshana: A Case Report

Worm infestation is the most common pediatric complaint which results in various health issues in children. Vedic literature also approves the presence of Krumi in children. Due to the resemblance of meaning and clinical features, worm infestation is commonly correlated with the Pureeshaja Krumi, which is one of the three types of internal Krumi. Ayurveda also gives common clinical features of Krumi which includes fever, pain in abdomen, skin discoloration, nausea, aversion to food, loose motions and giddiness, etc. This group of symptoms is not correlated with any clinical condition yet.  Hence an effort is made here to present a case of Krumi with the classical features of common manifestations

Synthesis, characterization and effect of atmosphere on sintering behavior of BaTiO3 nano-powders

Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) is a classic perovskite material for the manufacture of multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in electronic industry. Day to day miniaturization mobile device demands BaTiO3 nanoparticles to fabricate multilayer along with metal electrode and hence control atmosphere sintering is necessary to achieve best performance of this metal-ceramic composite layers. Hence, prime objective of this work was to synthesis of BaTiO3 nanopowders, their relevant characterization and finally their sintering behavior study at different atmospheres at different sintering profile. In this research, combined wet-chemical and subsequent calcination technique has been adapted to synthesis nanoscale BaTiO3 powders. Cosmetic grade TiO2 was used to prepare BaTiO3 nanoparticles from as-synthesized elongated BaCO3 nanoparticles. Pure, high crystalline, BaTiO3 powder was successfully synthesized at 1100oC. Powders were consolidate through uniaxial press and sintered in dilatometer furnace at different temperature profile in air, argon and nitrogen atmosphere. Maximum density was obtained in air and lowest in argon atmosphere, this is due to effect of partial pressure of oxygen. A significant change in d-spacing was also observed after control atmosphere sintering at 1250oC and 1350oC. The sintering behavior and their microstructure could be modified through synchronization of consolidation technique and gas flow rate

Nano-Phased Materials and Thin Film Heterostructures: A Pathway to High-Efficiency Solar Energy Conversion Technologies

The sun fuel conversion, solar photovoltaics, bio-catalysis, and solar water splitting are all things that are covered in this road map. Perovskites, organic photovoltaics, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are several components of this category. The distribution and bridging of storage via the use of direct and indirect storage systems is the cornerstone of energy management for this electricity. This will exhibit energy efficiency ahead of several criteria, including mobility and light weight, high energy storage capacity, cheap manufacturing cost, low temperature performance, and quick energy transfer. Consequently, this will demonstrate energy efficiency. When an announcement is made on an increase in capacity, it is common practice to just include the installation of the equipment. Although it may seem like the manufacturing line is functioning well, this does not always mean that it is. It is possible that the installation of the manufacturing line and the actual sale of solar cells will be delayed for a period of time due to the introduction of new technologies. A semiconductor is the fundamental component of dye-sensitized solar cells. This semiconductor is produced by a photoelectrochemical system that consists of an electrolyte and a dye-sensitized anode

Enhancement of Photovoltaic Performance through Nano-Phased Materials and Thin Film Heterostructures in Solar Cells

The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of enhancing the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems by incorporating nano-phased materials and thin film heterostructures into existing solar cells. As a result of the incorporation of these cutting-edge components, solar cells will perform more effectively overall, ultimately satisfying the need for energy sources that are more dependable and efficient. In the context of this study, nano-phased materials are important due to the unique features they possess, which have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency with which solar energy is converted. The use of nanomaterials in solar cells makes it possible to achieve a number of benefits, including greater light absorption, reduced electron-hole recombination, and improved charge carrier mobility respectively. The increased functionality of the photovoltaic system leads to a more efficient use of the sunlight that is flowing in, which in turn increases the overall power conversion efficiency of the system. As an additional benefit, the incorporation of thin film heterostructures into solar cells improves the use of nano-phased materials by boosting the charge transport channels that are present inside the cells. Thin films, when precisely integrated into heterostructures, provide efficient charge separation and collection, hence minimizing the amount of energy that is lost during the conversion process. Through the synergistic interaction of thin film heterostructures with nano-phased materials, it is possible to construct a solar cell that has improved performance characteristics. In addition to the fabrication of thin film heterostructures by the use of advanced deposition techniques, the research includes the meticulous analysis of a wide variety of nanostructured materials, including nanowires, nanoparticles, and nanotubes. A thorough analysis and comparison of the performance of these unique solar cell designs with that of traditional solar cells will be carried out. The results of this comparison will provide valuable new information about the possibility of this much enhanced technology being widely used. By bringing forth a novel approach to enhancing photovoltaic performance, the purpose of this study is to make a significant contribution to the ongoing efforts that are being made to enhance the technology that is used for renewable energy sources. A combination of thin-film heterostructures and nano-phased materials might make it feasible for future generations of solar cells to be powered in a manner that is both environmentally friendly and efficient in terms of energy consumption

Nurturing Agribusiness: A Sustainable Farming System for Tomato Crop Management Leveraging Machine Learning

The agriculture industry is undergoing a transformative shift with the introduction of IoT technology, enabling global connectivity for farmers. This technology offers a plethora of advantages, ranging from precise seed selection based on soil analysis to efficient crop maintenance, water management, and enhanced marketing support for improved profitability. To further enhance tomato farming practices, we propose the implementation of a smart farmer marketing assistant that streamlines the process of segregating yield based on its growth stage, reducing labor and time requirements.Further, the frame work is capable of early-disease management system that can detect  diseases like early blight,light blight, buck eye rot and anthranose and suggest remedy.  By adopting this innovative approach, financial losses associated with traditional methods are minimized.The traditional practice of combining all categories of vegetables (ripened, unripened, and partially rotten) in a single container often results in reduced shelf life for the produce. In our framework, we employ color sorting to categorize the vegetables, ensuring proper packing into their respective bins. This valuable data is made accessible through a cloud environment, providing potential buyers with comprehensive information about the yield, its category, and pricing. This increased visibility empowers farmers to reach a global market and sell their produce at competitive prices. In this context, we present a case study focused on the tomato crop, where we have successfully developed a prototype utilizing ESP32, a color sensor, and Google Firebase. This comprehensive framework effectively harnesses the power of IoT, Machine Learning, and potential marketing strategies, transforming the way farmers manage their crops and connect with buyers on a global scale with highly accurate 87.9% experimental results
