Using Nuclear Grade Resin for Ion exchange
Abstract: In EDF, especially in the nuclear business, ion exchange resins are regularly employed for water purification. High-quality nuclear grade resins must be used in primary and secondary circuits as well as effluent treatment to retain dissolved species, some of which may be radioactive. To decrease worker dose during maintenance and to reduce radioactive resin waste volumes, purification needs to become more and more effective. The right resin qualities must be …

Augmented Reality for Irrigation and Soil Moisture Detection
Abstract: Everything starts with water as its fundamental material. Water waste results from overconsumption, and it happens in agricultural areas as well. We suggest augmented reality for soil moisture measurement and irrigation to solve this issue. The farmer may irrigate the field with this idea and save water. Using augmented reality glasses, the soil 's moisture content is identified and visualized. The newest technology in the current world is augmented reality. …

Encapsulation of Karela Extract in Polymer Nanoparticles
Abstract: Karela (Momordica charantia) fruit extract possesses promising antibacterial properties. However, its direct application can be limited by factors like degradation and uncontrolled release. This study explores the encapsulation of Karela extract within biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles as a potential strategy to enhance its efficacy. The research investigates the development of nanoparticle systems using various polymers and their impact on the stability, controlled release, and antibacterial activity of the encapsulated …

Evaluation of Effect of Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash Modified Cold Bituminous Emulsified Mix
Abstract: Initiatives are emerging worldwide to strike an equilibrium between the developments in infrastructure and control of environmental contamination by reusing wastes. About 70 % of the Indian population depends on agriculture, and abundant agricultural waste is generated each year. The use of these wastes in pavement construction provides a suitable solution to some of the ecological concerns and troubles associated with waste management. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) is a waste …

Nutrient–Xenobiotic Crosstalk in Dairy Cattle: Implications for Metabolism, Immunity, Health, and Productivity in Resilient Dairy Development
Abstract: Dairy cattle are routinely exposed to a wide range of xenobiotics, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, residues from veterinary drugs, and plant secondary metabolites, through feed, water, and environmental sources. These xenobiotics, being foreign to biological systems, can interfere with the absorption, metabolism, and utilization of essential nutrients, while also compromising immune function, organ health, and overall physiological performance. Chronic or subclinical exposure can reduce feed efficiency, disrupt energy and …

The Impact of Knowledge on Food Hygiene Practices Among Food Handlers in a Tertiary Hospital in Nigeria
Abstract: AbstractIn macro-scale cooking, the food is made by many people, thus intensifying the odds contamination of food due to improper handling. Intentional or accidental contamination of food in the course of largescale production can put at risk the health of consumers, and this has a costly consequence on a country. The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge about food safety, attitudes and practices among food handlers in tertiary …

Assessment of Clayey Soils and Bentonite to Use as Compacted Clay Liner for the Disposal of Municipal Solid Wastes at Lucknow City, India
Abstract: Dumping of municipal solid wastes in a pit without liner causes groundwater contamination. Use of locally available clayey soils will be a cost-effective landfill technique. Mixing of locally available soils with bentonite reduces the permeability. To develop the liner for the disposal of municipal solid wastes generated from Lucknow city, India, the soil samples were collected from three different locations as nearby the Sagar Institute, Barabanki district; near railway crossing, …
