Research Insight: Earthquake Resistant Structures in Construction Sector
Abstract: It is normally unpredictable to reckon uncertain seismic activity, but hopefully advanced Earthquake warning systems have been developed that can provide regional notification of an earthquake in progress, that provide timely alerts to the mass but before the ground surface has begun to move, potentially allowing people within the system's range to seek shelter before the earthquake's impact is felt. More to the plate is the attempt to create earthquake …

Articulating Precarious Waters: A Critical Review of Pharmaceutical Contaminants, Their Pathways, and Ecological–Health Risks in the Aquatic Systems of Bihar, India
Abstract: The article examines the emerging yet under-documented issue of pharmaceutical contaminants in Bihar’s aquatic environment, focusing on their types, occurrence, sources, and implications for ecology and human health. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products-including antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, beta‑blockers, and hormones – are conceptualized as pseudo-persistent pollutants because continuous inputs from households, healthcare facilities, and diffuse anthropogenic activities sustain their presence in surface water and groundwater despite individual compounds having …

Antibiotics Mediated as Antibiotics Growth Promotants (AGP)
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance in human infections has emerged as a serious public health concern. Some of the resistance problem may be traced back to the transmission of resistant bacteria from animals to humans, as well as the transmission of resistance genes from animal pathogens and commensal bacteria to human infections. Improvements in food cleanliness are among the control methods used to minimise the transmission of zoonotic germs to humans via the …

Mechanical and Microstructure Properties of Al and SiC Reinforced Aluminum-Based Metal Matrix Composite
Abstract: It is becoming increasingly difficult to design new technical materials that are resistant to wear damage and corrosion degradation in severe service circumstances. Unfortunately, even with crucial passive metals, like Al alloys, there is often a compromise between wear and corrosion resistance. Because of the unfavorable galvanic connection between the precipitates and the matrix, precipitates not only harden the material but also accelerate corrosion. This research established that a supersaturated …

The Study of Magnetic Properties and Applications of II–VI Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor, Zn1–xMnxO Nanoparticles
Abstract: Ferromagnetism in II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor, Zn1-xMnxO is studied. The magnetic behavior of this Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor (DMS) is determined by using the Heisenberg and the Green’s formalism. Heisenberg’s Model describes the Hamiltonian of the system in terms of spin density and excitons. In the same way, Green’s theorem is used for calculating magnetic quantities. These theorems are employed to estimate the origin of ferromagnetism in Zn1-xMnxO nanostructures. For spin- …

The clinical manifestations of arsenic toxicity include severe skin lesions; diseases of respiratory, cardiovascular, excretory system, hepatological, haematological and neurological disorders; and even death. We have isolated arsenic-resistant bacteria which have the adaptability to survive in high arsenic concentration, accumulate arsenic and convert it to its less toxic form. Therefore, we propose bioremediation as a cost-effective and …
