Retained Placenta in Dairy Cows: Causes, Consequences and Effective Strategies for Sustainable Dairy Development
Abstract: Retained placenta (RP) is a common reproductive disorder in dairy cows that poses a significant threat to reproductive efficiency, milk yield, and overall herd productivity. The condition, characterized by the failure to expel fetal membranes within 24 hours post-calving, results from a complex interplay of metabolic, endocrine, nutritional, and management-related factors. Key causative agents include dystocia, twin births, premature calving, mineral imbalances, oxidative stress, immune suppression, and hormonal disruptions, particularly …

Ultrasonic Dispersion of Halloysite Nanotubes for Enhanced Mechanical, Thermal, and Morphological Performance of Epoxy Composites
Abstract: Halloysite nanotube (HNT)-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by mixing HNT with bisphenol-A epoxy (LY 556) using ultrasonication, followed by compression molding. HNT contents of 0–5 wt.% were used. The composites were evaluated for tensile strength, flexural strength, Shore D hardness, Izod impact strength, and thermal stability using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The fractured tensile surfaces were also examined to understand the failure mechanism and interaction between HNT and the epoxy matrix. …

Power and Congestion Control for M.A.N.E.T using Cross-Layer Design for Future Technology
Abstract: AbstractRouting in M.A.N.E.T is challenging due to its navigation feature. The main causes of link failure are mobility, interference, and congestion. Mobility means that each node is free to move within its transport range. Interference occurs due to collision and hidden node. A hidden node means two nodes outside the radio range of each, simultaneously try to transfer data to an intermediate node, which lies in the radio range of …

Geosynthetic polymeric material Reinforced Model Shallow Foundation's Monotonic and Cyclic Uplift Response Affected by Ground Inclination
Abstract: The foundation system of any structure is vital for ensuring safety, serviceability, and performance, particularly when subjected to vertical and uplift forces. While conventional foundations are primarily designed to resist compressive loads, structures such as transmission towers, offshore platforms, buried pipelines, retaining systems, and marine facilities are frequently subjected to uplift forces generated by wind, waves, buoyancy, and cyclic loading. Under such conditions, the uplift resistance of soil and uplift …

Application of flux cored arc welding (fcaw) without pre-heating for heavy structures in ship building fabrication & construction of heavy offshore structural steels
Abstract: In fusion welding processes, the reason often given to explain the need for preheating, controlling the inter pass temperature (in multi-pass welds), and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is to reduce the risk of residual stresses and it can be removed by heating weldment in the heat affected zone (HAZ). Cold cracking is a hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon, often referred to as hydrogen induced cracking or HAZ cracking. During the construction and …
