Study on Food Based Gig Workers in Kerala for Determining Work Nature and Defining Population Anthropometry
Abstract: This study aims at understanding the population of gig workers employed in the country in the field of unorganized food logistics, which is also one of the largest workforces in the country. The characteristics of gig work make the application of traditional labor law and employment standards hard to comply with, as it is related to digital platforms such as mobility, food delivery or e commerce. The focus of the …

Fabrication and Surface Modified Non-woven Calotropis gigantea Fiber Mat Reinforced Polypropylene Composites by Film Stacking Method
Abstract: Nowadays, there is a growing environmental consciousness and awareness about the need for sustainable development, which has led to growing interest in using natural fibers as reinforcement in polymer composites for synthetic fiber substitution. The current work deals with the effects of Calotropis gigantea fiber (CGF) content and chemical modification of CGF mats by treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and SDS-pretreated benzoyl chloride on the fundamental properties of CGF-filled …

pH-Responsive Smart Polymer Nanocomposites for Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Abstract: Metallic corrosion under adverse marine and industrial conditions imposes gigantic financial burdens and risks worldwide. Conventional waterproofing waterborne epoxy has passive barrier protection, but is also inherently microporous, lacking intrinsic repair ability against mechanical damage and thus rapidly decays. This is a critical gap that this work tries to bridge by designing a new pH-responsive hybrid polymer nanocomposite by using polyethyleneimine-tannic acid-cerium functionalized boron nitrate nanosheets with chitosan-capped mesoporous silica …

Performance Evaluation of First and Second-order Incremental A/D Converters
Abstract: This paper presents the design of first and second-order incremental analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The characteristics of converters are extremely wide from Giga samples to a few samples per second for bandwidth and resolution variation from a few bits to more than 20 bits. Delta sigma converters are most commonly used high-resolution A/D converters. In instrumentation and measurement applications, the continuous operation, the large offset and inaccurate gain of delta-sigma does …

Multi-way Protection Scheme to Handle Multiple Failures for Cost-Efficient Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) Access Networks
Abstract: AbstractFiber Wireless (FiWi) access networks prove themselves as promising broadband access networks. These networks enable users to access services in “Anywhere-Anytime” fashion. FiWi networks offer higher bandwidth and better flexibility at much lower price than passive optical network. As FiWi supports high data rate (typically about Gigabits per second), any failure may results in huge data loss. Therefore, to protect such loss of data, we need to design a more …

LTE & 5G NR Carrier Aggregation Network Optimization through Advanced Measurement Configuration
Abstract: The ability to merge numerous frequency carriers—component carriers—to increase transmission bandwidth and throughput speeds over what can be achieved with a single carrier is known as carrier aggregation, and it is a crucial technology in 4G LTE and 5G networks. Cellular devices may attain gigabit data speeds by combining carriers from several frequency bands, such as 600 MHz to mm Wave frequencies, to increase downlink and uplink capacity. This study …
