Advanced Micromachining with Abrasive Jet Machining: Experimental Observations and Model Comparisons
Abstract: Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM), also known as Micro Blast Machining, is a non-traditional machining process that removes material through the erosive action of a high-velocity gas jet carrying fine abrasive particles. This process is particularly effective for machining intricate shapes in hard and brittle materials that are heat-sensitive and prone to chipping. Similar to sandblasting, AJM is widely utilized for tasks such as deburring, rough finishing, and micromachining, especially in …

Land surface dynamics: A Multiphysics Approach to Modeling Mass Transport
Abstract: Land surface dynamics are governed by complex interactions among hydrological, atmospheric, and geomorphological processes that collectively drive the transport of mass across terrestrial environments. Traditional modeling approaches often isolate individual mechanisms, limiting their ability to capture the coupled feedbacks that shape landscape evolution. This study presents a multiphysics framework for modeling mass transport on land surfaces, integrating fluid flow, sediment transport, heat exchange, and chemical reactions within a unified computational …

Persistent Atmospheric and Ecosystem Impacts of Enteric Methane Emissions from Intensive Livestock Production Systems
Abstract: Enteric methane emissions from intensive livestock production systems exert a significant long-lasting influence on atmospheric stability and ecosystem integrity. Recent observations confirm that global methane emissions continued to rise through the early 2020s, with total emissions exceeding 620 teragrams per year by 2024, driven by expanding ruminant production and associated feed systems. Anthropogenic sources accounted for more than 330 teragrams per year, reflecting sustained growth in agricultural and fossil fuel …

Analysis of the Impact of Seabed Earthquakes on Coastal Structures and Foundation Design
Abstract: Earthquakes in the seabed occur with varying magnitudes. Seabed earthquakes cause a rapid rise in water levels, which can lead to flooding and structural damage. Therefore, when designing buildings near the seashore, it is essential to account for the additional load on columns due to water thrust. Earthquakes occurring at the seabed generate intense ground acceleration of varying magnitudes, significantly affecting water levels and inducing destructive flooding along coastal regions. …

Struggles Against Displacement: A Case Study of Nilgiri Tribes TODA
Abstract: This research explores the displacement faced by the Nilgiri tribes of southern India, examining both historical and contemporary contexts. Historically, the Nilgiri tribes, including the Todas, Kotas, and Kurumbas, have lived in the Nilgiri Hills for centuries, maintaining distinct cultural practices and agricultural traditions. However, the onset of British colonial rule in the 19th century marked the beginning of their displacement, as the British established tea plantations, appropriating tribal lands. …

Integrating Livestock for Enhancing Sustainability of Soil, Water and Agroecosystem: Implications from a One Health Perspective
Abstract: Livestock systems play a pivotal role in sustaining environmental health, enhancing ecosystem services, and supporting agricultural productivity. Well-managed integration of livestock into agroecosystems contributes to soil fertility through organic matter deposition, microbial stimulation, and nutrient cycling, while improving soil structure and long-term productivity. Grazing and pasture management regulate water infiltration, retention, and hydrological balance, mitigating soil erosion and enhancing water-use efficiency. Livestock also promote biodiversity by maintaining habitat heterogeneity, facilitating …

Linguistic Minimalism in Digital Communication: The Shrinking of Language in Hyper-Speed Communication Environments
Abstract: The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed linguistic practices, precipitating what we term "linguistic minimalism"—the systematic reduction of language to essential semantic components in hyper-speed communication environments. This research examines how contemporary digital platforms have catalyzed a contraction in linguistic expression through abbreviations, semantic compression, emoji symbolism, and strategic silence. Drawing on discourse analysis, pragmatics, and social semiotics, this study explores four interconnected dimensions: emojis and GIFs as primary meaning carriers, …

Sources and Health Effects of Arsenic, Fluoride, and Nitrate in Water
Abstract: Arsenic, fluoride, and nitrate are major inorganic contaminants in water that pose significant risks to human health. These contaminants are introduced into water sources through both natural geological processes and human activities. Arsenic is primarily released from arsenic-bearing minerals through weathering, dissolution, and erosion, while human activities such as agriculture, mining, and fossil fuel combustion further enhance its presence in water. Fluoride contamination mainly results from the dissolution of fluoride-bearing …
