Mechanical Performance Evaluation of Brachyuran Shell Particle-Infused S-Glass Fibre Epoxy Polymer Composites
Abstract: Epoxy composites bio-filled with brachyuran crab shell powder and reinforced with S-glass fibres at different loadings (2%, 4%, and 6%) are tested for their mechanical properties in this work. Using modest amounts of filler significantly improved hardness, ultimate tensile strength, and flexural strength in the empirical data. The largest increase in hardness was 64.42% at 4% filler, up from 26.22% at 2%; however, there was a dramatic decrease to 13.11% …

Understanding Trichotillomania: Exploring and Managing Hair-Pulling Disorder
Abstract: One form of traumatic alopecia is called trichotillomania, which is characterized by an overwhelming impulse to take out hair and a feeling of comfort once the hair has been removed. Alopecia in trichotillomania results from the patient’s deliberate act of pulling out their own hair, often triggered by feelings of stress, tension, or psychological distress. This condition, classified as a mental health disorder, leads to noticeable hair loss that can …

Assessing Air Quality, Climate Change, and Migration Dynamics in Delhi NCR: A System Dynamics Approach
Abstract: As climate change accelerates and environmental degradation worsens, urban centers like Delhi NCR are under increasing pressure from internal migration. Poor air quality—especially in rural and peri-urban regions—emerges both as a driver of out-migration and a deterrent for in-migration to already burdened cities. This study develops a system dynamics (SD) model that integrates climate variables, air pollution metrics, economic indicators, governance quality, and migration behavior to simulate population flows into …
