Developing Eco-friendly Concrete Using Plastic and E-Waste Aggregate

The rapid increase in plastic and electronic waste has created significant environmental and disposal challenges worldwide. This study investigates the potential use of waste plastic and e-waste materials as partial replacements for natural aggregates in concrete to develop a sustainable and eco-friendly construction material. The waste materials were collected, cleaned, and processed into suitable sizes before being incorporated into concrete mixes at varying proportions. Experimental evaluation was carried out to study the effects on key properties such as compressive strength, tensile strength, density, and durability. The results indicate that the inclusion of plastic and e-waste aggregates reduces the overall weight of concrete while maintaining satisfactory strength for non-structural applications. Additionally, the use of these waste materials contributes to reduced consumption of natural resources and minimizes environmental pollution caused by improper disposal. The study demonstrates that such innovative material substitution can offer a practical solution for sustainable construction while supporting effective waste management practices.

A Comparative Study of Steer-by-Wire and Conventional Steering Systems in Autonomous Vehicles

The current trends within the automotive industry hint towards a shift into Steer-by-wire (SbW) powered steering systems in automobiles. This technology is aimed at replacing the previous mechanical steering systems and promising improvements in vehicle longevity, performance bumps, improved handling, and easier integration with artificial intelligence-driven self-driving (automated) cars. However, the novelty of this technology requires an understanding of its current state of development and deeper knowledge into the extent to which it can replace mechanical steering vehicles. This paper aims to review the current state of Steer-By-Wire (SbW) and analyse it across the parameters that the technology must excel in before SbW is introduced to the mass production of self-driving cars. Moreover, this study will also analyse the current drawbacks of an SbW system and how these can be further polished to achieve desirable outcomes. The paper will provide an insight into how well SbW is really suited for taking on self-driving cars and the true capabilities of the technology driving the system.

Social Media Addiction and Its Impact on Teenage Mental Health

This research paper has examined the impact of social media on teenage mental health, how it affects their physical, mental and emotional well-being. Social media being a routine part of their day has led to addiction, depression, anxiety, fear of missing out, body image issues, etc. Cyberbullying is marked to be one of the major concerns, as teenagers are easy targets and often hesitate to seek help. Additionally, the paper discusses the negative impact of social media on daily life, sleep patterns, academics, attention span, body image issues and overall health due to excessive screen time and blue light exposure. Moreover, social media can also be used positively if used mindfully. The paper discusses coping mechanisms, mindful usage and how digital detox plays a crucial role in teenagers’ daily life.

Colour as Visual Language: A Study of Cinematic Colour Theory and Audience Perception

Colour plays a significant role in cinema as a visual tool that communicates emotion, meaning, and narrative intent. Rather than functioning only as an aesthetic element, colour operates as a form of visual language that influences audience perception and psychological response. This research paper examines how colour theory is applied in cinema to shape mood, convey character psychology, and support storytelling. The study draws upon theoretical perspectives from colour psychology and film studies, along with an analysis of historical developments in cinematic colour usage. The paper explores how filmmakers use specific colour palettes and contrasts to evoke emotional responses and guide audience interpretation. Case studies from selected films, including the works of Anurag Kashyap and Disney animated cinema, are used to demonstrate how colour functions as a narrative device across different cinematic contexts. In addition, the study considers the role of colour in movie poster design to highlight how visual marketing also relies on colour to communicate tone and genre. Through qualitative analysis of visual examples and existing literature, this research finds that colour consistently functions as a powerful storytelling tool that enhances emotional engagement and strengthens narrative meaning. The findings suggest that understanding colour as a visual language contributes to a deeper appreciation of cinema and its ability to influence how audiences experience and interpret films.

Bamboo as A Sustainable Material

Bamboo has emerged as a highly promising sustainable material due to its rapid growth rate, renewability, and minimal environmental impact. As a natural resource, bamboo demonstrates excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, flexibility, and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of engineering and construction applications. Compared to conventional materials such as steel, concrete, and timber, bamboo requires significantly less energy for processing and contributes to reduced carbon emissions, thereby supporting global sustainability goals. Additionally, its biodegradability and ability to sequester carbon enhance its role in mitigating climate change. Recent advancements in engineered bamboo and composite technologies have further expanded its usability in modern infrastructure and product design. This paper explores the properties, applications, and environmental benefits of bamboo as a sustainable material, highlighting its potential to replace non-renewable resources and promote eco-friendly development.

Analysis of Deburring and Edge Finishing

Deburring is a vital finishing operation in modern manufacturing processes that involves the removal of unwanted material projections, commonly referred to as burrs, from machined components. Burrs are typically formed during machining operations such as drilling, milling, turning, and grinding due to plastic deformation of the material. These projections, although small, can significantly affect the functionality, safety, and aesthetic quality of the final product. This research paper presents a detailed study of deburring, including its definition, causes, and classification of burrs. Various deburring methods, such as manual, mechanical, thermal, electrochemical, and cryogenic processes, are discussed in detail. The paper also explores tools and equipment used, advantages and limitations, industrial applications, and future advancements. The study highlights the importance of deburring in ensuring high-quality production and improving the performance and reliability of manufactured components.
