Nanotechnology-Assisted Microbial Biosensors For Ecological Monitoring

Uncategorized

Authors: Tejas Naidu

Abstract: The integration of nanotechnology with microbial biosensing systems has opened new avenues for precise, real-time ecological monitoring. Conventional environmental assessment techniques often fall short in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and speed, necessitating the development of more responsive and cost-effective alternatives. Microbial biosensors—living biological systems capable of detecting environmental pollutants—have emerged as promising tools due to their specificity, adaptability, and self-replicating nature. The incorporation of nanomaterials into these biosensors enhances their functional properties, including signal transduction, stability, and miniaturization. This review explores the synergy between nanotechnology and microbial biosensing, focusing on the design, mechanisms, and applications of nanotechnology-assisted microbial biosensors in ecological monitoring. Key developments in nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, metal nanoparticles, and nanocomposites are discussed in the context of their role in improving biosensor performance. The review also highlights the environmental pollutants targeted by these biosensors—ranging from heavy metals and pesticides to endocrine disruptors and greenhouse gases—and evaluates their deployment in field settings. Challenges related to biosafety, scalability, and regulatory frameworks are analyzed alongside future research directions. By merging microbial intelligence with nanotechnological precision, this emerging technology offers transformative potential in promoting environmental sustainability and public health.

A Sustainable Approach To Compressed Earth Brick Stabilization Using Iron Dust, Metakaolin And Oxalic Acid

Uncategorized

Authors: Saravanan.G, Assistant Professor Kalaimathi.D

Abstract: The project aimed to explore the possibility of fully or partially replacing cement as a stabilizer in Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEBs). Cement is commonly used as a stabilizer in CSEBs, but it has a high carbon footprint. The bricks were tested for compressive strength along with water absorption and efflorescence. A comparison of strength gain between them was also conducted. Two proposed mixes, referred to as P-cement 1 and P-cement 2, were selected based on literature review for better comparison and to identify the optimum mix. To evaluate the strength characteristics of these mixes, mortar cubes were cast using both P- cement variants and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), and then tested for compressive strength.

Uncategorized

Authors: Surendra Singh Vishwakarma, Dr Vijay Bhandari, Dr Praneet Saurabh

Abstract: Digital image classification plays a significant role in the early detection and analysis of medical conditions. Traditionally, diagnosis is performed manually by ophthalmologists through examination of retinal fundus images. However, this process is time-consuming, requires expert knowledge, and may sometimes lead to errors due to human limitations. In contrast, automated digital image classification systems provide a faster, more consistent, and cost-effective solution by analyzing large volumes of medical images efficiently. This work focuses on the application of digital image classification techniques for identifying different stages of diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, different image preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification methods are discussed. The study also summarizes the key image features commonly used in previous research for accurate classification of retinal images into different disease categories.

Authors: Miss.Kithe Priya Suresh, Miss.Khatal Sneha Pradip, Dr.Khatri.A.A

Abstract: The fields of magnetism and resonance are crucial to the operation of Electric Vehicle Wireless Communication (EVWC) devices. A magnetic field is produced when electricity flows through a coil of wire, just as it is in a transformer. For Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) to work, it's necessary to position two coils in such a way that one's magnetic field induces a current in the other. Unless the coils are very close to one another and aligned in a straight line, inductive power transfer is inefficient. In this paper work related to wireless charging system proposed by various researchers is explored. Concept of Static and dynamic charging, Inductive power transmission, wireless power transmission techniques including inductive and capacitive coupling, far field techniques like Radio, microwave and laser techniques are also presented.

Authors: Payal Anil Barhate, Associate Professor Dr. Ayesha Siddiqui, Dr.Nagsen Bansod, Dr.Rajkumar Deshpande

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way companies hire people by making it possible to automatically screen resumes, predict who will get the job, and assess behaviour. These new technologies make things much more efficient and scalable, but they also raise important ethical issues, especially the possibility of algorithmic bias. Unfair discrimination against candidates based on their gender, race, or socioeconomic background can happen when training data is biassed, decision-making models are unclear, and there is no accountability. This study looks into where bias comes from and how it shows up in AI-powered hiring systems. It also looks at a range of ways to reduce bias, which are divided into three groups: pre-processing, in-processing, and post-processing. It looks at how well tools like fairness-aware learning, adversarial debiasing, and equalised odds post-processing work to promote fairness.

Comparative Study And Performance Assessment Of Stone Matrix Asphalt Incorporating Different Fibers

Uncategorized

Authors: Assistant Professor Mohammad Zayan, Akhi S Ragh

Abstract: Bituminous mixtures serve as wearing and base layers in pavements, with performance judged by resistance to deformation, cracking, moisture damage, and stiffness. Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA), using PMB 40-grade bitumen, offers better rut resistance than conventional mixes. This study tested SMA mixes with glass and jute fibers, examining tensile strength, drain down, and rutting resistance. Glass fiber improved stability, stiffness, and reduced bitumen drain down, while jute fiber showed higher drain down due to its elasticity. Overall, glass fiber outperformed jute in enhancing rutting resistance and long-term performance. The findings emphasize the importance of fiber selection for optimizing SMA mix designs and improving pavement durability.
