Punjab’s Wetlands as Inland Analogues of Marine Ecosystems: Status, Stressors and CommunityLed Conservation.
Abstract: Aquatic and wetland ecosystems in Punjab, India, represent ecologically significant yet increasingly degraded socioecological systems embedded within an intensively managed agrarian landscape. Despite their recognised importance, existing studies largely treat these systems using conventional freshwater ecological frameworks, with limited integration of microbiologically mediated processes and broader ecosystem theories. A key research gap, therefore, lies in the lack of interdisciplinary approaches that can holistically interpret wetland structure, function, and governance across …

Water Spread Area Dynamic of Chilika Lake: A Geospatial Approach
Abstract: Chilika lake is the largest lagoon in Asia on the east coast peninsular India covering about hundred thousand hectares of land, one among six Indian wetlands declared under the Ramsar convention in 1982. Lake shrinkage is another important ecological transformation. This may be due to several factors, both natural and human. The study area is Chilika Lake which is located at 19°27’58.081”N–19°53’24.438”N latitude and 85°6’5.301”E–85°40’36.149”E longitude on the east-coast of …

Formulation Development and Evaluation of Sublingual Tablets of Enalapril Maleate Using Co-processed Superdisintegrants
Abstract: Enalapril Maleate is anti-hypertensive drug and its oral bioavailability is 40%. Sublingual tablets of Enalapril Maleate were prepared to improve its bioavailability, to avoid pre-systemic metabolism and hepatic first pass elimination. Tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique using two different superdisintegrants KYRON-T-314 and INDION-414 in the different ratio (1:1, 1:2 and 2:1) by co-processing and physical mixing. FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) spectroscopic studies …

Explainable GeoAI-Based Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing Framework for Early Detection of Climate-Induced Land Cover Transformation
Abstract: Climate change has emerged as one of the primary drivers of rapid land cover transformation, affecting ecosystems, agricultural productivity, biodiversity, and regional sustainability. Traditional remote sensing approaches often face challenges in detecting subtle and early-stage land cover changes due to limitations in temporal analysis and model interpretability. This study proposes an Explainable GeoAI-based multi-temporal remote sensing framework for the early detection of climate-induced land cover transformation using multi-source satellite imagery …

Multi-Sensor System for Underwater Pothole Detection to Enhance Road Safety During Monsoon Seasons
Abstract: Monsoon seasons across India and similar tropical regions severely compromise road safety by causing water accumulation that conceals dangerous potholes beneath stagnant pools, leading to frequent vehicle damage, tire punctures, and fatal accidents. Traditional detection methods relying on smartphone accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors, or machine vision fail under flooded conditions due to acoustic signal reflection at water surfaces and optical distortions from glare and turbidity. This research proposes an innovative multi-sensor …

Polymers with Non-polar Lubricants: Degradation and Triboelectric Performance
Abstract: Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) transform electrical energy from kinetic energy with the assistance of electrostatic interactions and triboelectrification. TENGs provide countless benefits, together with cheap prices, straightforward processing, and broad enforceability. In solid interaction TENGs, wear and friction, moreover, abbreviate their life span. In this study, we assessed the tribological efficiency and power efficiency of polymeric in TENG devices with non-polar lubrication limiting friction and wear. The viscosity of the lubricant …
