Homeopathy and Miasms: Exploring Their Vital Importance
Abstract: An individual’s susceptibility to disease is not solely an internal matter but is also profoundly shaped by a variety of external influences. These influences can be broadly categorized into meteoric factors – such as climate, weather changes, seasonal variations, and atmospheric conditions – and telluric factors, which include environmental and terrestrial elements like soil, water, living conditions, and geographical surroundings. When such external influences act upon the human organism, they …

Studies on Zooplankton Diversity of Manar Reservoir with Selected Physico-Chemical Parameters, Maharashtra
Abstract: Freshwater reservoirs in India are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic pressures, such as agricultural runoff, domestic sewage discharge, and water level fluctuations, which significantly influence nutrient dynamics and aquatic ecosystem stability. Biomonitoring using plankton communities provides an effective approach for evaluating ecological health, as these organisms respond rapidly to changes in physico-chemical conditions. The present investigation was carried out to assess the environmental status and trophic condition of Manar Reservoir, located …

Design of Photonic Sensor for Driver Assistance
Abstract: AbstractA report from National Highway Traffic Safety Association, USA, states that 100000 police reported crashes are a result of driver fatigue. This figure would be quite mind boggling for developing nations, where work periods are usually extended without conducting detailed scrutiny. Sophisticated vehicles are equipped with sensors for assisting drivers and providing them with time-critical accident alerts. However, there is a need to develop cheap and reliable sensors for 24x7 …

A Review on Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavements using Falling Weight Deflectometer
Abstract: For rehabilitation design processes, the new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design approach relies heavily on the material stiffness, back calculated from the deflection measurements taken from existing pavements. These measurements are typically made using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) or Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) units. In order to provide high quality and consistent material stiffness data for the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design the deflection results obtained at radial distance in between 0 and 1800 …

Dress and Clothing: An Ayurvedic Perspective
Abstract: Dress and clothing is mostly restricted to human being and a feature of nearly all human societies. The amount and type of clothing worn is dependent on the physical stature, gender, as well as social and geographic considerations. In Ayurvedic texts there is already description of surprising varieties of clothing both for the purpose of therapeutics and habiliment. Ayurveda advocates that one should always wear clean clothes, preferably made from …

Railway Track Crack Detection Using GSM and GPS Modules
Abstract: Indian Railroads is one of the largest railroad systems in the World. The Indian railway system has grown significantly over the years, as seen by the massive construction of its railroads; nonetheless, some accidents are caused by fractures in the railway track. Splits may occur because of the track's expansion or contraction brought on by seasonal variations. This study proposes a crack monitoring vehicle that employs an ultrasonic sensor to …

A Study of Total Electron Content Variations Over Abuja (Nigeria) using the GNSS
Abstract: Effects of space weather are usually related to disturbances in the ionosphere such as change in total electron content (TEC), which is an important descriptive quantity for the ionosphere of the earth. This has an important effect on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) as it causes delay in range measurements. The knowledge of this TEC change is therefore very significant to various GNSS users. This work presents the variation …
