Evaluating the Role of Platelet Indices, with a Focus on Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), in Differentiating Hyper-Destructive and Hypo-Productive Thrombocytopenia: A Study from Ludhiana, Punjab, India
Abstract: Background: Thrombocytopenia, characterized by a reduction in platelet count, is commonly observed in clinical settings. Its etiology can be broadly classified into hyper-destructive thrombocytopenia, where platelets are destroyed at an accelerated rate, and hypo-productive thrombocytopenia, where platelet production is impaired. Differentiating between these two causes is essential for effective management. The Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) has emerged as a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool to distinguish these causes. Objectives: The primary …

Nanostructure-Induced Thermoelectric Enhancement in Bi₂Te₃ Nanorods Design, Analysis, and Performance Evaluation
Abstract: Thermoelectric materials capable of efficient energy conversion near room temperature are critical for waste heat recovery applications. In this work, solution-grown Bi₂Te₃ nanorods were synthesized via a trioctylphosphine-assisted thermal decomposition route, and the influence of surfactant-induced nanostructuring on their thermoelectric properties was systematically investigated. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement confirmed the formation of rhombohedral Bi₂Te₃ with the emergence of Bi₂Te₃–BiTe nanocomposites at higher surfactant concentrations.

CONVERSION BETWEEN T-π OF NETWORKS USING PSPICE CIRCUIT SIMULATION
Abstract: Any passive network can be represented by their equivalent in either T-π (star-delta)model. From the conversion methods of T-π (star-delta) for resistive circuits, the behavioural modeling of Pspice simulation program, in which various mathematical equations could be represented by non-linear voltage/current dependent sources, is used to obtain equivalent circuits using DC option. The resistors are represented by their linear voltage/current relation. The zero voltage sources are used to measure currents …

Aerator Monitoring System for Fisheries Using Internet of Things
Abstract: To manage aquaculture effectively, we need to monitor water quality constantly. This helps prevent the depletion of dissolved oxygen, which can lead to fish suffocating. Such monitoring is especially critical in intensive pond systems. If we ignore this and fail to take action quickly, we risk losing all our fish, resulting in high costs that could have been avoided. This paper introduces a low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) based aerator …
