MATLAB Simulation of Partial Power Converter with Dual- Mode Inverter for Solar Conversion
Abstract: The growing insertion of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the modern power systems requires high-efficiency, compact and reliable power conversion solutions. The traditional PV conversion system generally uses full-power processed DC-DC converters followed by inverters, which increases conduction and switching power losses, especially at higher power ratings. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a partial power processed resonant converter with a dual-mode transformer-less inverter for efficient solar PV power …

Machine-Learning-Assisted Development of Polymer-Biochar Composite Adsorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Gomti River Water
Abstract: Rapid urbanization, industrial discharge, and agricultural runoff pose a significant threat to freshwater sustainability and public health. Within these ecosystems, polymer pollutants—such as microplastics, nanoplastics, synthetic fibres, and additive residues—have emerged as persistent vectors capable of adsorbing and transporting toxic heavy metals. Because these polymeric contaminants dynamically interact with conventional aquatic parameters to alter pollutant mobility and ecological risk profiles, there is an urgent need to transition from passive environmental …

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Program on Knowledge Regarding Breastfeeding Positioning Among Postnatal Mothers in Selected Community Areas in Kanpur
Abstract: Breastfeeding plays a crucial role in promoting infant health by providing complete nutrition, enhancing immunity, and strengthening maternal–infant bonding. Despite its benefits, many postnatal mothers experience challenges, such as nipple pain, breast engorgement, fatigue, and ineffective feeding, often due to improper breastfeeding positioning and poor latching techniques. Limited awareness and lack of structured education further contribute to these difficulties. Educating postnatal mothers on correct breastfeeding positioning is, therefore, essential to …
