A Review on Predicting Wear and Friction of PTFE Composites - Fillers to Machine Learning Models
Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites, a self-lubricating material with low friction, became an indispensable material in engineering applications where load carrying capacity and wear are crucial. The pure PTFE has poor mechanical strength and wear resistance which can be enhanced by the addition of fillers in appropriate volume fraction. The wear performance is dependent on various factors such as fillers, operating parameters, environmental conditions as well as manufacturing attributes. This makes the …

Study of Groundwater Quality in Shallow Tubewells of Bhubaneswar City Using WQI Method
Abstract: Shallow groundwater is extremely vulnerable owing to overexploitation, anthropogenic activities, and environmental effects. Declining quality of groundwater poses an enormous risk for human health and the entire ecosystem. Nearly 50 per cent urban water supply is contributed by groundwater in Indian cities. Since Bhubaneswar shares a similar scenario where 34 out of 67 wards are partially covered with municipal water supply and the residents of these areas are largely dependent …

Automation of Waste Segregation System by Using IoT
Abstract: The rapid urbanization and the increasing volume of waste generation have made waste management a critical issue globally. Efficient waste segregation at the source is one of the most effective ways to reduce the adverse environmental impact of waste disposal. In this study, we propose an automated waste segregation system based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, aimed at improving the efficiency of waste management. The system integrates a range …

Nutrient-Mediated Activation of Cellular Signaling Pathways: Mechanistic Insights into Attenuation of Toxin Induced Inflammation in Food Animals
Abstract: Dietary and environmental toxins remain a persistent challenge in food animal production, where subclinical and clinical inflammation compromises health, productivity, and food safety. Toxin induced inflammation is driven by oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and dysregulated immune signaling, resulting in impaired metabolic efficiency and increased disease susceptibility. Recent advances in nutritional science have revealed that nutrients act not only as substrates for growth but also as signaling molecules capable of modulating …

Claiming the City: How India’s Urban Spaces Exclude Women and How to Fix Them, A Case Study of New Delhi
Abstract: This paper analyses the layered risks, vulnerabilities, and everyday negotiations faced by women in open public spaces in diverse sites across India, with New Delhi as a representative and highly stratified urban case. It examines how specific Urban design competences, planning attitudes, and governance mechanisms have in the past resulted in exclusionary and not safe environments for women. Based on crime reports, government statistics, academic literature, and field-based observations, the …

Thermo–Electrical Performance Enhancement of a Lightweight Polymer–Metal Hybrid Electrostatic Precipitator Using Epoxy-Based Composite Housing for Industrial Particulate Control
Abstract: Airborne particulate emissions, particularly PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ produced by industrial activities and combustion processes, they continue to pose a significant threat to both the environment and public health. Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are widely recognized for their ability to achieve high collection efficiencies; however, conventional metallic constructions often lead to increased system weight, higher fabrication costs, and long-term corrosion-related challenges. In this study, a lightweight hybrid material approach is proposed by …

Scientists Reinvent Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR)/Cold Fusion
Abstract: Two of the researchers of The University of Utah, USA in 1989 named Dr. Martin Fleishmann and Stanley Pons declared that they had discovered a sustained nuclear fusion reaction at room temperature during electrolysis experiment that could solve the problem of energy requirement on this planet. The cold fusion reaction, also called low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) takes place at room temperature, unlike conventional fusion reaction where temperature required is …

Persistent Atmospheric and Ecosystem Impacts of Enteric Methane Emissions from Intensive Livestock Production Systems
Abstract: Enteric methane emissions from intensive livestock production systems exert a significant long-lasting influence on atmospheric stability and ecosystem integrity. Recent observations confirm that global methane emissions continued to rise through the early 2020s, with total emissions exceeding 620 teragrams per year by 2024, driven by expanding ruminant production and associated feed systems. Anthropogenic sources accounted for more than 330 teragrams per year, reflecting sustained growth in agricultural and fossil fuel …

Optimizing Power Generation from Building Ventilation Systems: A Study on Exhaust Fan Efficiency
Abstract: Due to population growth, the world's energy consumption has increased dramatically in both wealthy and developing nations in recent years, and by 2042, it is predicted to have doubled or more. Since a few years ago, the use of innovative sustainable power sources to meet energy demands has been gradually increasing. We've chipped away at a different idea because of this. As an alternative energy source, renewable energy (RE) resources …
