Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Land Use, and Sustainable Natural Resource Management: A Review
Abstract: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, changes in land use, and the exploitation of natural resources are significant obstacles to achieving global sustainable development goals. These interconnected challenges have far-reaching implications for environmental stability, economic growth, and societal well-being.Urbanization, deforestation, and agriculture are examples of land use activities that significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions. Agricultural activities release methane and nitrous oxide, while deforestation leads to carbon dioxide emissions by reducing forest cover, …

Development and Performance Evaluation of GO–ZnO/PU Hybrid Nanocomposite Coatings for Improved Optical Transmission, Cooling, and Self-Cleaning in PV Systems
Abstract: The performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules with time is affected by thermal heating, dust buildup, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light; as a result, the power loss increases rapidly during the use condition. In this study, a polyurethane (PU) nanocomposite, fabricated with graphene oxide and zinc oxide (GO–ZnO), is invented and examined. Improvements in heat management, light transmission, and dirt resistance are planned for PV glass surfaces. The nanocomposite …

A multi-index remote sensing analysis for Characterizing water stress, and environmental indicators in Girnar Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, India
Abstract: Water scarcity is a critical concern in arid and semi-arid regions, with implications for ecological stability, public health, and sustainable resource management. The Girnar Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, presents a case where ecological fragility intersects with cultural and religious pressures. This study employs satellite remote sensing and GIS-based approach to characterize water stress parameters within the sanctuary. Key spectral indices along with Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) were integrated through …

Agrobot: IoT Enabled Crop-care
Abstract: Agriculture serves as the foundation of global civilization, particularly in nations like India, where it accounts for roughly 70% of the GDP, underscoring its pivotal role in economic stability. Despite its significance, traditional agricultural practices have often overlooked critical elements such as disease identification and precise pesticide application, focusing primarily on conventional methods like harvesting and seedling techniques. To address these gaps and usher in a new era of efficiency …

Production and optimization of amylase enzyme using bacillus subtilis under solid state fermentation and its characterization
Abstract: This study employed solid state fermentation to maximize amylase production by Bacillus subtilis (OR578403). The research began by discovering and analyzing amylase-producing bacteria in soil samples followed with biochemical, molecular characterization. By using commercially available substrates like wheat bran, rice bran, and wheat rava were obtained from the local market and employed as solid substrates, which may influence amylase production and to be assessed. The identified organism was Bacillus subtilis, …

Design and Development of Onion Storage Shade for Better Ventilation and Longer Life
Abstract: Onions are one of the most important cash crops for farmers in India and many other countries. However, most harvested onions are lost every year due to improper storage. Traditional storage methods, such as keeping onions in heaps under trees, in closed rooms, or in poorly ventilated sheds, do not provide sufficient airflow. As a result, moisture accumulates, leading to sprouting, fungal growth, rotting, and physical damage. These losses reduce …
