Artificial Solar Oxygen Tree

This paper introduces a new solar technology that emulates how trees convert sunlight into energy. An Artificial Oxygen Tree which aims at serving the humanity toward the planet, having an ability to perform electrolysis of the sewage water and obtain the Hydrogen (for fuel) and Oxygen (to be emitted in the air) along with generating electricity from solar energy with the help of PV (Photo-voltaic) panels on the top of the trees. The model will be placed on the sewage tanks and at the base, Electrolysis will be carried out. It’s a process in which electrical power source is connected to the 2 electrodes which are placed in the water, and a current is passed resulting into the appearance of Hydrogen at the cathode and Oxygen at the anode. The Hydrogen will be stored in a tank and can be used as a fuel and oxygen to be let out in the air for breathing. The PV on the top of the tree will collect energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. A PV cell is made of a semiconductor material, usually crystalline silicon, which absorbs sunlight. This electricity is stored and is used to light the LED’s on the tree, hence making it as a streetlight. The actual model can be used to charge the gadgets like mobile phones and laptops. Advertisements will be displayed on the LCD screen. This will attract the sponsors.

Bridge Monitoring and Alert Generation System Using IOT

Many of the bridges in cities built on the river are subject to deterioration as their lifetime is expired but they are still in use. They are dangerous to bridge users. Due to heavy load of vehicles, high water level or pressure, heavy rains these bridges may get collapse which in turn leads to disaster. So, these bridges require continuous monitoring. So we are proposing a system which consists of a weight sensor, water level point contact sensor, Wi-Fi module, Arduino microcontroller. This system detects the load of vehicles, water level, and pressure. If the water level, water pressure and vehicle load on the bridge cross its threshold value then it generates the alert through buzzer and auto barrier. If it is necessary, then the admin assign the task to the employees for maintenance.

Epidemiological Studies in Workers Exposed to Steel Dust

Context: Steel is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be the backbone of human civilization. Although studies on adverse health effects in steel industry workers were reported from European and other countries, studies of this nature are meager in Indian ethnic group, where the health problems in steel industry workers are very serious. In the present study, we focused on adverse health effects in steel industrial workers who were occupationally exposed to steel dust. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation of its kind. Methods: The study was carried out in 435 steel industry workers in the group of 20-60 years who are occupationally exposed to steel dust and in 426 subjects with no history of occupational exposure to steel dust or any other chemicals (control group). Information on the age, medical history, and habits like smoking, consumption of alcohol, surgical history, medication, and nature of job, marital life and years of service was recorded in a standard questionnaire. Results: The results have shown an increase in health problems particularly Hair loss, respiratory problems, diabetes, joint pains, followed by hypertension, headache, and eye problems. Their frequency of health problems was high in steel industrial workers compared to controls (71.03% vs 31.0%). Conclusion: On the basis of the results obtained in the present study, definite conclusions were drawn on the nature of health problems in workers of the steel industry. The frequency of health problems was high in steel industrial workers compared to controls. This might be due to the undue exposure to steel dust at work place. Hence appropriate precautionary measures have to be taken to prevent or minimize the exposure of the workers to steel dust.

Bio-Hybrid: The Next Gen Implant

Osseo-integrated dental implants have been widely used for the rehabilitation of tooth loss. Although dental implants are considered an available treatment in the paradigm shift from traditional dental therapies, such as fixed dental bridges and removable dentures, the fundamental problems must be overcome prior to their clinical use in young patients who are still undergoing jawbone growth. A bio-engineered functional bio-hybrid implant that is combined with adult-derived periodontal tissue and attached with bone tissue can act as a substitute for cementum. This bio-hybrid implant was successfully engrafted and it restored physiological function, including bone remodelling, regeneration and appropriate responsiveness to noxious stimuli. Thus, this article reviews the functional bio-hybrid implant’s potential for clinical use as a next-generation dental implant using adult-derived tissues.

A Comparative Research b/w Friction Stir Welding Processes and TIG Welding Processes for [A6061] Aluminium Alloy

An experimental investigation has been carried out on microstructure and tensile properties of weld b of aluminum alloy. Two different welding processes have been considered: a conventional tungsten inert gas (TIG) process and an innovative solid-state welding process is known as friction stir welding (FSW) process. In this study it has been found that heat affected zone of FSW is narrower than TIG welding and mechanical properties like tensile strength etc. are within comfort zone and are better than TIG welding method. Microstructure results also favour FSW. TIG welding process produces the sound joints but the newly developed method friction stir welding process gives better joints than TIG welding process. The effect of two welding processes on mechanical and metallurgical properties is studied in this research work. Mechanical properties of the welded joints were evaluated and it was found that friction stir welded joints have superior mechanical properties as compared to TIG welded joints. From the microstructure analysis, it was observed that fine and equiaxed grains were observed in the friction stir welded joints and coarse grains were observed in TIG welded joints.

Implementation of Blood Donation Application using Android Smartphone

Blood is an important constituent of the human body. Timely availability of quality blood is a crucial requirement for sustaining the healthcare services. In the hospital, in most of the cases, when blood is required, could not be provided on time causing unpleasant things. Though donor is available in the hospital, patient is unaware of it, and so is the donor. To resolve this, a communication between hospital, blood bank, donor, and the receptor is important. The system listed following forecasting on price variations and stock handling, increase in the number of blood type, increase in human accident Infrastructure, blood on the various category to be managed. So we solve the problem using the Android application. The system will make sure that in case of need, the blood will be made available to the patient. There will be web portal as well as an Android app to make this communication faster. It aims to create an e-Information about the donor and organization that are related to donating the blood. The Methodology used to build this system uses GPS. The Proposed system will be used in Blood banks, Hospitals, for Donors and Requesters whoever registers to the system.
