Bird-Tree Associations and Co-occurrence Patterns in Delhi: Implications for Urban Ecological Restoration and Invasive Species Management
Abstract: Urban trees and birds are intertwined indicators of ecological resilience in cities. This study maps citywide bird-tree interactions in Delhi, India, hosting more than 300 avian species. The city was divided into hexagonal grids, and bird-tree data (506 interactions) were collected through field surveys across 131 sites using standardised 1-kilometre transects. Native keystone species like ficus supported the greatest bird diversity, while invasive Prosopis juliflora was widely used for perching …

Ultrasonic Dispersion of Halloysite Nanotubes for Enhanced Mechanical, Thermal, and Morphological Performance of Epoxy Composites
Abstract: Halloysite nanotube (HNT)-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by mixing HNT with bisphenol-A epoxy (LY 556) using ultrasonication, followed by compression molding. HNT contents of 0–5 wt.% were used. The composites were evaluated for tensile strength, flexural strength, Shore D hardness, Izod impact strength, and thermal stability using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The fractured tensile surfaces were also examined to understand the failure mechanism and interaction between HNT and the epoxy matrix. …

Parametric Studies of In-house Resin for Hardness Removal
Abstract: Presence of high amount of calcium and/or magnesium makes the water hard as these ions in water react with other chemical agents and constituents of metallic plumbing etc. The process accelerates in the presence of heat. It decreases the efficiency of the unit operation due to the formation of scales. Hence, scaling is the main issue for which hard water is required to be treated or polished. De-mineralized water finds …
