 Abstract

Abstract This paper presents EchoLens: Vision Through Sound, an intelligent, low-cost assistive system designed to enhance mobility and safety for visually impaired individuals. The system integrates multiple sensors--ultrasonic, flame, water, temperature, and fall detection--interfaced with a PIC microcontroller. It provides real-time audio feedback through a voice processor and wireless monitoring via the Internet of Things (IoT) using an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module and the Blynk application. The stick detects obstacles, environmental hazards, and health conditions, issuing immediate alerts through both speech and remote notifications. Experimental results demonstrate accurate detection of obstacles up to 4 meters, fast response time, and reliable connectivity with mobile applications. By combining embedded control, sensor fusion, and IoT technologies, EchoLens improves user autonomy, reduces risk in unfamiliar environments, and bridges the gap between assistive hardware and smart communication systems. The project contributes toward inclusive innovation by transforming conventional mobility aids into interactive smart devices for social and health empowerment of the visually challenged.

 Abstract

Each and every beautiful and hazardous motion that we see with our eyes has its center part produced in the mind through the sound waves and also expressed by means of figures and gestures. Music is inherent in natures, sure going waves of the oceans and relating rivers, murmuring, springs, birds singing in forests and gardens and the resembling cloud. All these reflect the eternal musical notes in their varied form. We the living being goes through the very soft and hard natural motions.

 Abstract

Migration significantly influences or paves way for acculturation. Colonial Assam often saw deceptive or coerced migration of people from throughout India to work as labourers in the newly set up tea plantations of Assam. Naturally, this historical record of migration of people from different cultural backgrounds settling within the confined spaces of tea plantations result a complex process of acculturation. Their distinctive cultural aspects, and blend of their ancestral traditions to adaptation to the new environment (Assam) fostered to form a close-knit community within the Assamese society. There are a few novels in post-independence Assamese literature that provide crucial insights into the toilsome lives and evolving cultural landscapes of tea garden worker's community in Assam. Seuji Pator Kahini (1959) by Birinchi Kumar Barua shines as a pioneering literary voice illuminating the lives of people in Assam's tea plantations. This research paper will analyse the depiction of acculturation among the characters in Naharani tea estate, specifically noting how migration serves as the primary catalyst for acculturation in the novel, taking into account relevant historical facts. Also, John W. Berry's theoretical framework of acculturation will be used to analyse the novel Seuji Pator Kahini (1959).

 Abstract

This project focuses on the thermal performance analysis and optimization of a 3D printing hot end, a critical component in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) systems. The objective is to enhance heat dissipation, improve temperature control, and study the influence of nozzle design and process parameters on material flow and print quality. Thermal simulations were carried out in ANSYS to analyse heat dissipation with and without active cooling mechanisms, such as fans and air ducts. The study also explores how changes in nozzle material and geometric characteristics, including the diameter-to-height (D/H) ratio, impact thermal resistance and flow uniformity. Process parameters such as extrusion temperature and cooling rate were examined to understand their effect on thermal gradients and energy efficiency. Actual 3D-printed parts were produced using the optimized parameters and nozzle designs to validate the simulation results and demonstrate significant improvements in surface finish, mechanical strength, and dimensional accuracy. The improvised hot end features enable faster and more reliable printing, with the capability to process high-performance thermoplastics

Abstract: This paper critically examines the nuanced representation of Indian womanhood in Sudha Murty's "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven," with a central focus on the motif of silent strength. The collection, composed of true-life narratives, brings to light the resilience, dignity, and quiet perseverance of Indian women as they confront varied societal expectations, personal challenges, and entrenched patriarchal norms. Rather than dramatizing rebellion, Murty's women draw upon inner reserves of patience, self-respect, and compassion to navigate conflicts between tradition and modernity, family duty and self-actualization. Their journeys underscore the transformational power of silent endurance--whether in the face of domestic strife, professional setbacks, or social marginalization. By portraying characters who resist simplistic binaries of oppression and liberation, Murty highlights the courage embedded in everyday negotiations, affirming that feminist agency in India is often articulated through subtle, steadfast acts rather than overt defiance. This research positions Murty's stories as significant contributions to discourses on gender, individuality, and empowerment in contemporary Indian literature, illustrating how the silent strength of Indian women reshapes both their personal destinies and the broader social fabric.

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, dysregulated cytokine signaling, and recurrent erythematous, scaly plaques. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the disease, covering its etiology, immunopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and current therapeutic strategies. Genetic susceptibility, environmental triggers, immune dysregulation--particularly involving the IL-23/IL-17 axis--and lifestyle factors collectively contribute to disease onset and progression. Clinical manifestations range from localized plaque lesions to severe systemic involvement, including psoriatic arthritis and metabolic syndrome. Standard treatments include topical agents, phototherapy, systemic drugs, and targeted biologics, each offering varying degrees of efficacy depending on disease severity. The review also highlights the growing role of herbal and natural ingredients with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties as complementary therapies. Recent advances such as biologics, small-molecule inhibitors, nanotechnology-based delivery systems, gene-modulating therapies, and AI-driven personalized management are transforming therapeutic outcomes and represent promising future directions. Overall, psoriasis management is shifting toward integrative, personalized, and mechanism-based approaches aimed at achieving long-term remission and improving patient quality of life.

 Abstract

Fast dissolving tablets (FDTs) have had a significant rise in demand over the past decade, establishing themselves as a rapidly expanding sector within the pharmaceutical business. Oral drug delivery continues to be the favored method for administering a variety of medications. Recent advancements in technology have compelled scientists to create FDTs that enhance patient compliance and ease. Upon oral introduction, these tablets dissolve or disintegrate in the absence of supplementary water, facilitating the absorption of active medicinal substances. The formulation's popularity and use led to the advancement of several FDT technologies. FDTs are solid unit dose forms that disintegrate or dissolve swiftly in the mouth without the need for chewing or water. FDTs, or orally disintegrating tablets, are particularly beneficial for youngsters and the elderly who experience difficulty swallowing conventional pills and capsules. This review examines lyophilization, molding, sublimation, and compaction processes for fast-dissolving tablets (FDT), along with strategies to improve FDT characteristics, including spray drying and the incorporation of disintegrants. The discussion includes taste-masking technologies, experimental measures of disintegration time, and dissolution.
