Occupational Exposure to Vibration—Hazards, Evaluation and Control
Abstract: Mechanical vibration is known to cause occupational health hazards. Exposure to vibration has potential to cause musculoskeletal disorders. Chronic exposure to hand-transmitted vibration causes occupational disease like vibration induced white finger (VWF). This article describes the harmful health effects caused due to exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) and whole-body vibration (WBV) and the control measures to minimize the exposure. Specifically, focus is kept on the evaluation of vibration exposure to …

Detection of Brain Tumors from MRI Images Based On Development of Thinking Computer Systems Techniques
Abstract: Brain tumors are one of the common diseases of the nervous system and have great harm to human health, and even lead to death. The detection, segmentation, and extraction of contaminated tumour regions from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) pictures are major problems; yet, a repetitive and time-consuming task performed by radiologists or clinical experts relies on their experience. The many anatomical structures of the human organ can be imagined using …

Design of Decoder Using Domino Logic Circuit for VLSI
Abstract: Dissipation of power from a circuit is the major issue in the design of any VLSI circuit, which decreases the life span of a device/system. NMOS and PMOS circuits are very slow while switching the state from low to high. The speed of the circuit can be increased by decreasing resistance. This process in turn increases the static power dissipation. So, because of these disadvantages, CMOS circuits are used in …

Improved Unified Power Quality Conditioner Design and Numerical Simulation for Power Quality Improvement
Abstract: Harmonic currents can distort the waveform voltage, resulting in a weak signal. There is also an increase in the number of loads requiring enough sinus tension to function properly. As electronic devices become more power-sensitive, people are becoming increasingly interested in power conditioning solutions. Therefore, if the amount of electricity being generated falls below a certain threshold, some type of compensation must be provided. Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) is …

Fatigue Analysis of the FSAE Vehicle's Front Wheel Hub
Abstract: This study illustrates the design and analysis of the FSAE vehicle's front wheel hub. Because wheel hubs are subjected to cyclic loads on a continuous basis, there is a risk of fatigue, which leads to material failure. The start and spread of cracks in a material as a result of cyclic loading is known as fatigue. The brake discs could not be easily removed since the disc is positioned between …

Synthesis of Brassinosteroid with Signaling and Response to Abiotic Stress: Review
Abstract: Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant steroid hormones with multiple roles in plant growth, development, and responses to stresses and signaling functions to promote cell expansion and cell division and plays a role in etiolation and reproduction. The entire synthetic pathway of sterol biosynthesis is brassinolide (BL) from the general campesterol synthesis pathway in Arabidopsis. Campesterol converts to BL in two different ways campesterol dependent or campesterol independent pathway. …

Mechanism of Action of Essential Oils and their Major Components
Abstract: The essential oil of lemongrass, palm rosa and eucalyptus were found to be good antimicrobial agents. To a large extent the results suggest their potential use as chemotherapeutic agents, food preserving agents, and disinfectants. However before considering these compounds as chemotherapeutic agents against human/animal diseases, it is important to study their cytotoxic and mutagenic effects. Studies were then carried to investigate the probable mechanism by which these compounds act against …

Effect of Initial Temperature and Diameter of Ethanol Droplet on Evaporation Dynamics in Convective Air Medium
Abstract: Ethanol is a suitable biofuel as it has fewer toxic emissions and higher-octane numbers. For spray combustion applications, the gas phase motion must be considered while numerically investigating the fundamental aspects of droplet evaporation and combustion processes. Hence, we have numerically simulated the evaporation dynamics of an isolated spherically shaped ethanol droplet under a forced convective air environment in the absence of gravity. The momentum transfer between two phases is …

A Fuzzy Integrated Web-based Quality Function Deployment Application:A Conceptual Analysis
Abstract: The 'voice of customers' drives the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) process, which is a customer-focusedproduct development method. Making decisions is a critical component of the QFD process. Although QFD aids decision-making, its subjectivity results in ambiguity and uncertainty, resulting in less accurate and consistent findings. Fuzzy ideas must be incorporated to deal with the ambiguity and uncertainty inherent in the QFD process. This will result in better decision-making. Businesses can …
