Uranium and Heavy Metal Contamination of Sirhind Canal Water and Groundwater in the Malwa Belt of Punjab and its Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICPMS) has been used to measure the Uranium and heavy metals content of the Sirhind canal water and ground water samples of adjoining villages of the collection points along the canal. The aim of this study is to propose mitigation strategies for Uranium in the groundwater of Malwa belt. The uranium and heavy metal content of the water samples collected at the five different locations …

Real-Time Crack Detection in Polymer Composites Using Embedded IoT Sensor Networks
Abstract: This study developed an embedded Internet of Things sensor network for real-time crack detection, localization, and severity assessment in glass–fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Four polyvinylidene fluoride sensors were embedded near the laminate mid-plane and connected to synchronized wireless acquisition nodes. Controlled low-velocity impacts generated graded damage states. Ultrasonic C-scan and optical microscopy provided independent labels. A compact multi-channel convolutional model processed normalized waveforms, spectral entropy, signal energy, and arrival-time differences at …

Radiopaque Polymer Composites for Improved Visualization of Interventional Devices
Abstract: Radiopaque polymer composites are increasingly important for improving the visualization of interventional medical devices under X-ray and fluoroscopic imaging while maintaining the flexibility, mechanical performance, and processability required for minimally invasive applications. This narrative review summarizes recent developments in radiopaque polymer composites, with emphasis on radiopaque filler selection, polymer–filler interactions, processing strategies, structure–property relationships, biocompatibility, and device applications. A focused literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, …
