Ratio Spread with Calls- Creating a Zero Downside Risk Strategy in Stock Market

There is a general perception that whenever a Stock goes down, traders in that stock are doomed. This was probably true before 2001, when derivatives were not introduced in the Indian Stock Markets. Nowadays, there are many strategies available in the derivatives segment, which either make huge amounts of money for the traders whenever the market goes down, or there is Zero risk on the downside. One such strategy in options segment of derivatives is Ratio spread with Calls. This strategy has Zero Risk on the downside (with chosen strike prices and entry time), and if the Market is mildly bullish, profits can also be made on the upside. This Research paper examines the results of Ratio spread with Calls as applied on Nifty (Index of NSE, India) in 42 monthly F&O series, with the aim to create a Zero Downside Risk Strategy which can be easily understood by even a beginner in Stock Market

Evaluating the pre-treatment protocol required to produce an effective carbonized waste adsorbent for organic pollution control

With the goal of fostering the circular economy, the present work was devised to minimize and manage agricultural waste by transforming it into biochar; a versatile dye removal adsorbent. Waterways across the globe are frequently fouled and contaminated with organic materials, especially via unregulated industrial effluents, producing toxic water supplies. Rhodamine B (RhB) and Methylene blue (MB) dyes were used as model organic pollutants in water. The contaminants were then readily extracted from environmental samples using sustainable wheat straw derived biochars. These materials were utilized in an effort to link the circular economy directly to environmental protection, reducing organic contamination by using a low carbon solution. Herein, two methods were adopted to refine a low temperature carbonized material, dependent on initial pre-treatment; leaching followed by milling (method-I) and milling followed by leaching (method-II). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), nitrogen physisorption, proximate and ultimate analysis and Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) were used to examine the properties of the synthesized materials. It was found that by altering the process of initial waste pre-treatment, an increase in available surface area (6.284 m2g−1–20.754 m2g−1) and pore structure can be found post feedstock pyrolysis. Additionally, FTIR of the biochar post extraction supported the adsorption process of both dyes, demonstrating a change in dye-adsorbent bonding, depending on the initial waste pre-treatment for the biochar. In batch mode, several operating parameters including pH, concentration, duration, and dose were optimized. Kinetics and adsorption isotherm studies for biochar synthesized by method-II pre-treatment (BC-II) revealed that the system follows Pseudo-first-order kinetics and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model with the relative R2 of 0.9989 and 0.9880 for RhB, comparing with 0.9933 and 0.9932 for MB. The optimal produced biochar, BC-II effectively removed 91.06% of RhB from solution at pH 4 and 92.43% for MB at pH 8. This study brings forth a solution to enhance waste management by creating a circular scenario and alleviate environmental contamination by utilizing wheat straw as a biochar adsorbent, produced under controlled and low temperature conditions

Enhanced Wastewater Remediation Using Mesoporous Activated Wheat Straw Biochars: A Dye Removal Perspective

The escalating contamination of water bodies by synthetic dyes necessitates innovative and ecoconscious strategies for wastewater treatment. In this study, activated biochars BC-800 (1:0.25), BC-800 (1:0.5), and BC-800 (1:1) from wheat straw were synthesized. Here, ratios denote the mass relationship between wheat straw and potassium hydroxide; “800” represents the pyrolysis temperature. These activated biochars were rigorously characterized revealing the most efficient material, BC-800 (1:1), presenting a surface area of 2578.82 m2/g and average pore diameter of 5.51 nm. Across parallel batch experiments, it effectively extracted synthetic dyes (rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO)) from wastewater within 15–20 min, primarily through chemisorption pathways. Increased surface area and porosity resulted in a greater dispersion of adsorption sites including C═C linkages (π–π interactions) and H-bonding via surface carbonyl groups (C═O). To understand the adsorption mechanism, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were employed to investigate the equilibrium adsorption behavior. Results show that BC-800 (1:1) followed the Freundlich isotherm (R2: 0.9659 for RhB, 0.9927 for MB, and 0.9979 for MO, respectively), showing dye molecules form multilayers on the surface of the biochar (π-stacking). Biochar recycling through chemical regeneration demonstrated sustained dye removal efficiency >90% for BC-800 (1:1) over multiple cycles

A Novel Approach for Diagnosing Neuro-Developmental Disorders using Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been rapidly advancing especially in the field of medicine. One of the highly considerable medical fields in the world today is that of neurodevelopment and diagnosing any disorders pertaining to the same can be overwhelming. Considering the fact that neurodevelopment plays a significant role in the growth and nourishment of a child, the former sentence is an irony as parents wouldn’t wish for their children to possess reduced capabilities in comparison to other children of the same age. In fact, testing the metal growth of a child is a tedious task which involves visiting the doctor each time and spending a lot of time. The proposition of this paper overcomes the above--mentioned hassles by utilizing computer aided techniques for identifying neurodevelopmental disorder. The proposed framework has its foundation over mathematical and Deep Learning (DL) models which helps in the diagnosis of four varied neurodevelopmental disorders which often tend to occur in the early phases of a child’s life. The application put forward here would suggest suitable remedies and strategies to parents and teachers which they can adopt to help their child recover from the illness

Efficient Dynamic Replication Algorithm Using Agent for Data Grid

In data grids scientific and business applications produce huge volume of data which needs to be transferred among the distributed and heterogeneous nodes of data grids. Data replication provides a solution for managing data files efficiently in large grids. The data replication helps in enhancing the data availability which reduces the overall access time of the file. In this paper an algorithm, namely, EDRA using agents for data grid, has been proposed and implemented. EDRA consists of dynamic replication of hierarchical structure taken into account for the selection of best replica. Decision for selecting the best replica is based on scheduling parameters. The scheduling parameters are bandwidth, load gauge, and computing capacity of the node. The scheduling in data grid helps in reducing the data access time. The distribution of the load on the nodes of data grid is done evenly by considering scheduling parameters. EDRA is implemented using data grid simulator, namely, OptorSim. European Data Grid CMS test bed topology is used in this experiment. The simulation results are obtained by comparing BHR, LRU, No Replication, and EDRA. The result shows the efficiency of EDRA algorithm in terms of mean job execution time, network usage, and storage usage of node
