Psychological Determinants Affecting Exercise Adherence among Young Adult Females in Pune City
Abstract: We reside in a society where physical inactivity remains a serious issue, particularly for women. Among individuals who do initiate exercise programs, approximately half of them drop out during the first 6 months, has been stated in several researches. Mostly individuals discontinue their regular exercise whenever they feel pressured to exercise; they start lacking the enjoyment and intrinsic motivation to continue. In this study, 208 female participants completed the survey. …

Biodecolorization of Textile Dye Effluent by Biosorption on Plant Biomass and Equilibrium Modelling
Abstract: AbstractDye effluent discharge into water bodies leading to water pollution. Each textile dye process requires a different amount of dye and also it generates a different amount of effluents. Most of the physico-chemical methods are insufficient and highly expensive. Biosorption is an alternative technology for the treatment of different textile and other effluents. Aquatic plants specially water hyacinth showed a greater potential to use as biotrap for textile effluent treatment. …

Effect of temperature shift on Dr. JRK’s 777 oil
Abstract: AbstractThe physical and functional change of Dr. JRK’s 777 oil subjected to extreme temperature was studied. Cyclic shift or timed shift of the oil from extreme cold to ambient temperature and vice versa has not affected either physical or functional change. However the initial storage temperature is found to have a great role in influencing the above feature of the oil. We have performed acid value and iodine value to …

Fractality of Magnetospheric Dynamics: A Diffusion Entropy Approach
Abstract: There are several self-organization processes in physics such as second-order phase transitions and associated scale-invariant phenomena, structure formation in thermodynamic systems away from equilibrium, self-organization of solitons into vortices in magnetized plasma etc. Space plasmas often display very complex behavior which includes multiscale dynamics, spatio-temporal chaos and self-organized criticality. The study of self-organization in magnetospheric plasma and its relation with instabilities is a subject at the forefront of space research …

Schrödinger Cat's Experiment's Interpretation and Parallel Universe or Multiple Universes
Abstract: Quantum mechanics provides us most fundamental descriptions of our most early universe, but there is a long-standing debate amongst theoretical physicists about what all these mathematics really mean in real world? The present three-dimensional (3D) universe, we humans experience daily since our birth, is probably just one of an enormous numbers of essentially classical worlds, and all quantum phenomena arise from a universal force of repulsions that prevented many universes …

Dependence of Fidelity of Quantum Teleportation for Pure State on Degree of Entanglement
Abstract: Quantum information and computation has been a rapidly evolving field. As Landauer pointed out, information is physical, so it should not look strange to try to bring together quantum mechanics and information theory. Indeed, it was soon realized that it was possible to use the laws of quantum physics to perform tasks which are unconceivable within the framework of classical physics like quantum teleportation, superdense coding, quantum cryptography, Shor’s factorization …

Kantowski-Sachs Cosmological Model with Quadratic Equation of State in Gravity
Abstract: In this paper, we have investigated Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model with Quadratic Equation of State (QEoS) in the framework of Teleparallel Gravity, so called gravity, where T denotes the torsion scalar. The behavior of accelerating universe is discussed by considering Linear gravity i.e. . The solutions of field equations are obtained by using variable deceleration parameter. The physical behavior of these models has been discussed using some physical quantities. Also, the …
