Surajmukhi (Helianthus annuus L.): Medicinal Importance in Unani Literature and Modern Evidence
Abstract: Helianthus annuus L. (Sunflower), belonging to the family Asteraceae, is a well-recognized plant in both traditional and modern systems of medicine. In Unani medicine, it is described under the name “Shams-ul-Nahar,” attributed with specific Mizaj (temperament) and pharmacological actions. The plant is considered to possess a hot and moist temperament (Har Ratab), and different parts, including its seeds, oil, and leaves, have been employed in classical formulations. Sunflower seeds are …

Integration of Modular Multilevel Converter Topology in the Design and Control of Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Abstract: A back-to-back modular multilevel converter (BMMC) based plug-in hybrid electric vehicle power conversion system is proposed to solve the problems of traditional MMC-EV. The local AC harmonics generated by the operation of MMC-EV accelerate the battery degradation and reduce the battery life. Currently, electric vehicles are in great demand due to the rising oil prices and environmental pollution concerns. Since the backbone of electric vehicles is the energy storage system, …

Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) Technology for Tire Pyrolysis: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) is an innovative technology that is mimics of natural coal formation processes to convert wet biomass into valuable carbon-rich materials known as "biochar." This process involves subjecting organic matter, like agricultural waste, food residues, or sewage sludge, under high-pressure & moderate-temperature conditions (around 180-250°C & 2-4 MPa) in presence of water. HTC technology accelerates process of the dehydration & carbonization of biomass, thus producing a solid product …

Boron Nitride Unleashed: Revolutionary Insights into Its Superhard Phases and Machining Aptitude
Abstract: Exploration from the prehistoric era has proven steel to be a hard substance. According to research, the four main crystalline forms of boron nitride are graphitic, cubic, rhombohedral, and wurtzitic. Better hard materials for industrial processes have been provided by diamond, hard ceramic, and cermet in the process of developing the front of the script, which is descriptive. Turning, cutting, drilling, boring, and grinding of hard materials have been linked …

Design and Estimation of Biogas Plant For Canteen Waste: A Case Study of RD’s Rajgad Technical Campus, Dhangwadi, Bhor, Pune
Abstract: Today's economy and society rely on energy. In the end, conventional fossil fuels like oil will run out, and an alternate primary energy source will be required to close the widening gap between rising demand and declining supply. Biogas is a great energy source in light of rising petroleum prices, declining foreign exchange reserves, and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. Organic matter breaks down to produce biogas, a fuel. The primary …
