Grid based docking study of some 2-(4-methylsulfonyl phenyl) pyrimidine derivatives (designed after QSAR studies) with Cyclooxygenase
Abstract: Molecular docking helps in studying drug/ligand or receptor/ protein interactions by identifying the suitable active sites in protein, obtaining the best geometry of ligand-receptor complex and calculating the energy of interaction for different ligands to design more effective ligands. In Grid based docking, after unique conformers of the ligand are generated, the receptor cavity of interest is chosen and a grid is generated around the cavity. Cavity points are found …

Potential Site Suitability Analysis for Wind Farm Development Using GIS and Multi-Criteria Analysis
Abstract: The energy consumption of most developing countries like Ethiopia highly depends on biomass and imported fuels. These sources of energy have imposed severe impacts on the environment.Recently, Ethiopia has begun to harness electricity from renewable energies mainly from hydro- dams to meet its energy need. However, the existing energy production of the hydro-dams declines during dry season due to shortage of river waters. So, it is important to look for …

Bird-Tree Associations and Co-occurrence Patterns in Delhi: Implications for Urban Ecological Restoration and Invasive Species Management
Abstract: Urban trees and birds are intertwined indicators of ecological resilience in cities. This study maps citywide bird-tree interactions in Delhi, India, hosting more than 300 avian species. The city was divided into hexagonal grids, and bird–tree data (506 interactions) were collected through field surveys across 131 sites using standardized 1-kilometre transects. Native keystone species, like ficus, supported the greatest bird diversity, while invasive Prosopis juliflora was widely used for perching …

Role of Satellite Data Assimilation on ERA-Interim and ERA5 Wave Parameter Ratios – A Case Study based on Year-long In-Situ Observations in the Bay of Bengal
Abstract: The rapid decline in the energy resources forced mankind to tap other forms of natural energy resources in the light of exponential increase in the demand due to over-population. The energy from ocean waves is one of the cleanest sources of energy available perennially that changes seasonally and is site-specific. To assess the wave power potential at any site, knowledge of the wave parameters such as wave height, period and …

Drona-Chariot: A Medical Equipment Carrier Drone
Abstract: Caring for trauma victims in harsh environments poses numerous difficulties, especially when a rescue effort is delayed. Human-containable medical equipment may also be consumed by a single victim, making replenishment impossible prior to evacuation, especially in long-term on-site supply scenarios. This project aims to build an unmanned autonomous aerial vehicle that successfully delivers remote places with life-sustaining medical supplies where it is impossible or impractical for vehicles or pedestrians to …

Modelling of Peer to Peer Sharing of Power within Solar Based DC Microgrids
Abstract: Solar based DC microgrids and home-based systems have been a reliable option to solve rural electrification problems in many parts of the world. However, there is a pertaining problem of mismatch between local demand and on-site generation in such microgrids. Proposed work attempts to address this problem by developing an optimal peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing among the individual households in a DC microgrid. A nonlinear optimization problem is formulated that …

Integrated Assessment of Soil Health Through Macronutrient Status and Physico-Chemical Properties in Selected Agricultural Blocks of Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh, India
Abstract: Soil health is a critical determinant of agricultural sustainability, particularly in ecologically sensitive Himalayan regions where intensive cultivation and heterogeneous landscapes influence nutrient dynamics. Balanced macronutrient availability, together with favourable physico-chemical properties, governs crop productivity, soil resilience, and long-term ecosystem functioning. Despite the agronomic importance of Kangra District (Himachal Pradesh), localized assessments integrating nutrient status with physico-chemical indicators across representative agricultural blocks remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate soil …
