Assess the level of anxiety & depression among the post burn client admitted in Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni Bk
Abstract: Introduction: A burn is a type of injury to skin, or other tissues, caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Most burns are due to heat from hot liquids, solids, or fire. An estimated annual burn incidence in India is approximately 6–7 million per year. The high incidence is attributed to illiteracy, poverty, and low-level of safety consciousness in the population. Depression and anxiety are frequently witnessed in …

Optimizing Aggregate Gradation for Enhancing Strength Properties of Pervious Concrete
Abstract: Pervious concrete possesses high permeability enabling environmental applications like stormwater recharging. However, lower strength limits widespread infrastructure adoption necessitating enhancements. This study focuses on optimizing aggregate proportions for improving compressive and flexural strength. Mixes were developed with cement variations from 200-500 kg/m3 with fine to coarse aggregates ratios systematically altered. Strengths were measured as per ASTM C39 and ASTM C78. Results showed reduced water-cement ratio and balanced aggregate blends improved …

Improving Internal Combustion Engine Performance by Using Reduced Power Air Conditioning System
Abstract: The paper studies and analyzes the effects of adsorption air conditioning system instead of the classical compression unit on the vehicle internal combustion engine (ICE) performance. The adsorption system uses the residual heat from the ICE cooling circuit to create the necessary thermodynamic conditions to reduce the temperature in the vehicle cockpit. The proposed system has the advantage of no mobile parts for operating since it works on pressure difference …
