The use of a self-developed board game as a tool to enhance the mastery of vocabulary on action verbs

This action research focuses on enhancing the pupils’ mastery of vocabulary on action verbs. The research participants of this study were four Year 5 pupils. In this research, The Kemmis and McTaggart model were used as a research design. The ‘V-Goldenur’ game which is an adaptation of the famous ‘Monopoly’ game was used as an intervention in this research in enhancing pupils’ vocabulary on action verbs. ‘V-Goldenur’ game was carried out in five sessions which each session focusing on five action verbs. The findings of the research were analyzed qualitatively using the triangulation method. The instruments used were document analysis, observation checklist and group interview. The participants had been given Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 to compare the improvement in their vocabulary on action verbs before and after the intervention. The research findings showed that there had been an improvement in the participants’ vocabulary on action verbs performance after the intervention sessions. Nevertheless, it is recommended if more words could be added in this research to help the participants in the mastery of vocabulary on action verbs.

Offline examination system using Raspberry Pi

India is developing, cities are advancing, but still, the villages and remote areas are facing problems. We are still dealing with major challenges pertaining to digital sectors. Even though the internet, penetration has evolved in India, we are still facing continuous network availability issues other discrepancies. This is significantly a high alarming factor for the education sector. To solve this problem, we have come up with a unique robust solution. So we have developed a Linux based operating system for embedded devices. The operating system is strict as per user requirement for the particular application here it for offline online examination where we break the network into convenient units to overcome the mentioned drawbacks. This mechanism ensures offline conductance of exams in the intranet environment. Further, this will be re-integrated into the consequent network.

Automatic vehicle speed control

Internet of things technology enables all the physical devices to be connected through the network and exchange data among themselves over the internet. Road accidents are the most dangerous things to happen to a road user especially due to over-speeding. One of the possible ways of controlling speed to prevent accidents is by applying the applications of IoT. The objective of Automatic Vehicle Speed Control is to develop a system that automatically controls the speed of the vehicles at specific areas such as school zones, hospital zones, speed limited areas, etc. Encoders are mounted at the zones which continually transmit codes that are different in different zones. When the vehicle reaches the zone, the decoder present in the vehicle decodes the data transmitted by the encoder and sends the decoded data to the programmed micro-controller which in turn is responsible for decreasing the speed of the vehicle and keeping vehicle speed constant until it moves out of the zone. Later on, the vehicle can regain its original speed. Apart from speed detection this system also has an inbuilt object detector unit (with 555 IC, TSOP 1738, IR) i.e the vehicle comes to halt when it detects any object in front. Thereby avoiding most of the accidents. Automatic Vehicle Speed Control also consists of a unit (with LDR) that automatically illuminates the street lights in the absence of light.

Production and optimization of ethanol production from spent tea waste using Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared from the leaves of camellia sinesis. It is the most widely consumed drink in the world next to the water. Extracts of tea leaves contain polyphenols, amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides and have a stimulatory effect due to its caffeine content. Consumption of tea in India remains modest and due to the presence of carbohydrates tea waste spent is used as a potential substrate for ethanol production. However worldwide demand for ethanol production has been increased in recent years so utilization of leftover tea spent for ethanol production may reduce the cost of the fermentation process. optimization conditions for high levels of ethanol production from leftover tea spent using saccharomyces cerevisiae were determined by alterations of temperature and pH and finally, comparative studies of ethanol production using natural tea spent media to that of commercial production medium leads to the conclusion that the activity of tea spent in ethanol production was slightly high to that of commercial production medium.

High-Density Immune Vaccine (HDIV) to be explored for fighting COVID-19

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus and it spread across geographies, genders and occupations. It appears to plague people ubiquitously including children who, despite hopeful early reports, do not seem more immune to the virus. At present there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments against COVID-19 but there is no specific vaccination to restrict. However, a common statement from all researcher that high immunity patient can fight with it and get recovered. Therefore, needs to develop high-density immune vaccine or medicine to treat COVID-19. Some possible ways to move research forward to create immune vaccine or medicine are proposed herein.

Review of heat transfer enhancement techniques

Heat transfer is a very important process used in the industries, especially in process industries where the raw material is subjected to various processes so as to convert it into finished products. To achieve better heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger, maximum heat transfer should take place within the operating temperature range of the fluids in the heat exchanger. The researcher has made an effort to improve the heat transfer rate between two fluids. They have been developed various heat transfer enhancement techniques to improve the heat transfer rate by considering various factors that affect the heat transfer rate such as temperature, the velocity of fluid, turbulence, surface area subjected to heat transfer, etc. These techniques can be classified as active techniques and passive techniques. Active techniques are those who require a power supply for the operation while passive techniques are those who do not require any external power supply for the operation. This paper presents a review of various heat transfer enhancement techniques so that they can be chosen into the industry as per the requirement and according to their relative merits.
