Architectural form optimization for sustainable heat reduction: integrating simulation analysis in warm and humid climates, with emphasis on office buildings

This study explores the symbiotic relationship between architectural innovation and urban sustainability, focusing on countering climate challenges and rapid urbanization. The research centers on the strategic utilization of self-shading elliptical forms to mitigate heat gain within built environments. The significance of green building ratings as drivers of sustainable construction practices is highlighted, alongside a comprehensive review of sustainable methodologies, traditional materials, and self-shading strategies. Utilizing advanced simulation techniques, the study analyzes diverse architectural scenarios to evaluate their impact on heat reduction. Significantly, the use of Ecotech software for radiation analysis highlights the considerable potential for reducing heat within the built environment. In conclusion, this research underscores architectural design's transformative capabilities, highlighting self-shading forms' role in enhancing energy efficiency and human comfort within sustainable built environments.

Comprehensive analysis and comparison of the structural properties of aluminium alloy wheels

This paper is an research study about the comprehensive analysis of the structural properties of aluminium alloy wheels commonly used in the automotive industry. Finite element analysis was performed to simulate the behaviour of the wheels under the different load conditions, taking into account the geometry. Some of the basic materials are selected as widely used in the industry like AA 6061-T6, AA 6082-T6, AA 7075-T6 and AA 6063-T835. The results of the analysis show that the wheels are capable of withstanding the stresses and strains imposed on them during normal operation are compared with the other material structural results. By this approach the best aluminium alloy material AA 7075-T6 is selected hence the deflection under the condition of load is very less. Further the structural deformation for the best material is studied for the change in design of the aluminium wheel to overcome the structural deformation. An triangular ribs are used to resist the deformation by increasing the strength.

Comparative study of compaction characteristics of Shyorana village soil, Bharatpur using red stone dust and eggshell powder

Soil stabilization is a crucial technique in civil engineering to enhance the mechanical properties of soil for construction purposes. This study investigates the potential of utilizing red stone dust and eggshell waste as additives for the analysis of compaction characteristics of Shyorana village soil in the district of Bharatpur Rajasthan. Red stone dust, a byproduct of stone-crushing activities, and eggshell waste, generated from culinary and food processing industries, both pose environmental challenges in terms of disposal. This research aims to address these challenges by assessing their effectiveness as stabilizing agents while promoting sustainability. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of varying proportions of red stone dust and eggshells on soil properties. Standard proctor tests were performed on soil samples treated with different combinations of red stone dust and eggshells. The results were compared with untreated soil to determine the improvements in dry density. The findings demonstrated that the incorporation of red stone dust led to increased compaction indicating enhanced load-bearing capacity and reduced susceptibility to deformation. Moreover, the combination of red stone dust and eggshell exhibited synergistic effects, further enhancing the overall stabilization efficiency. In addition to the technical performance, environmental considerations were also addressed. The utilization of waste materials like red stone dust and eggshells offers a sustainable solution by minimizing their disposal as waste and reducing the demand for conventional stabilizing agents. This approach aligns with the principles of circular economy and promotes eco-friendly construction practices.

Factors preventing undergraduate students in Mumbai, Maharashtra from investing

The broad objective of this research paper is to ascertain the factors preventing undergraduate students in Mumbai, Maharashtra, from investing. The specific objectives under this include determining the impact of age, gender, and annual income of the student’s family, on the factors preventing these undergraduate students from investing. The survey technique of research was used, and the primary tool for gathering data was the questionnaire. The study design is “Explanatory” in nature. It can serve as a starting point for more in-depth studies. The Chi-square test was used for analysing the data. Out of the sample population for the survey, a sample size of 215 respondents has been taken into consideration. The chi-square test was used to determine whether a difference between observed data and expected data is due to chance, or if it is due to a relationship between the variables you are studying. It was observed that age played a factor in the market volatility and influence on peers while gender affected the risk and market volatility. It was also found annual income does not affect risk appetite and age does not impact the complexity of the market as a factor preventing investment. Investing is an important part of financial literacy that undergraduate students should consider, but there are several factors that deter them from doing so. This paper explores these factors in detail, including limited financial resources, a lack of knowledge about investment, fear of risk and uncertainty, gender influences, and the impact of peers on decision-making. It is crucial to understand these factors to help students overcome the barriers to investing and achieve financial success in the long run.

Women Through Hagiographies: Analyzing women’s role within Neo-Vaishnavism

Medieval history of Assam is largely dependent on religious and mystical literatures, which forms a major portion of its sources. The historical study of the medieval Bhakti and Sufi movements paved the way for utilizing the wide corpus of ‘hagiographies’, which are the biographies of the religious saints. The existing hagiographies are accounts which are centered around the glorification of the saints in which facts are intertwined with mystical imaginations. In addition, these are produced by male saints and their disciples and in many ways are inadequate to capture the experiences of females, associated to the religious movement. Understanding the lives and role of women within these movements and within the different spheres of society is important. Also equally important is to acknowledge the gendered nature of the past to connect women’s experiences, for a better and broader picture of the past. This article is an attempt to analyze the lives of women within the Neo-Vaishnavite movement through the existing hagiographies, since there is a dearth of written sources coming from the womenfolk.

The effect of resilience on depression and life satisfaction

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and determine the nature of the connection that exists among resilience, life satisfaction, and depression. The sample consisted of 57 different persons. Everyone who took part in the study was anywhere between the ages of 18 and 68. All of the ethical recommendations that should be followed when performing psychological testing were carefully considered and carried out as intended. The sample consisted of different 27 female participants and 29 different male individuals, and 1 other individual. The Brief Resilience Scale by Smith B.W, Dalen, J Wiggins, the life satisfaction scale by Diener, and CESD-R by Radloff were employed to assess the variables in this study. The study's results supported the working hypothesis. Pearson Correlation, which was used to analyze the association between resilience as an independent variable and the other two variables as dependent variables, life satisfaction, and depression, led to the discovery of the result. It was found that there was a weak negative correlation between resilience and depression, while resilience and life satisfaction had a weak positive correlation. This analysis was used to determine how resilience impacts life satisfaction and depression. The findings did not have an adequate amount of significance.
