 Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) is one of the technologies gaining increasing interest. By mixing virtual with the real world in different proportions, augmented reality allows a level of immersion that no virtual equipment can provide. AR systems have been already used in many applications as surgery, inspection of hazardous environments, engineering. Most of those systems, however, only operate indoors and cover relatively small areas. The advances of the computers, vision and wireless technology make possible development of outdoor wireless systems to support complex analysis, decision-making and governing processes. The benefits of utilizing such systems in these processes are twofold: 1) data supply on "the spot" (location-based services) and 2) provision of 2D, 3D model projections.

 Abstract

The term used in the constitution is 'weaker sections' of the community which are socially or educationally backward, particularly the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The scheduled castes occupy the bottom most rung of the Indian social hierarchy. These groups or castes have been discriminated against by the superior castes through ages, and they never had any kind of social acceptance from the majority of the people who belong to the upper castes. They are scattered throughout India. Bathadas a group of scheduled caste people are found in the Udupi district of Karnataka, suffer from various social, economic, political disabilities. Low level of education and ill health has been a major problem of the Bathadas. However, so far, no systematic empirical study has been conducted on Bathada community. Therefore, the present study is important to understand the correlation between attitude and health and educational development of Bathadas. It is important to know the role of health and education in the socio-economic development of the community. The study is also significant to understand the problems of health and education of the Bathada Community.

 Abstract

Fruits and vegetables are critical nutritional content of a growing nation like India. Viticulture encompasses produce, greens, spices, condiments, aromatic plants, and plantation crops. India's wide variety of produce includes Mangos, Bananas, Papaya, Coconut, etc. Also, greens typically include cabbage, peas, spinach, etc. Plantation crops consist of rubber, tea, coffee, cashew, etc. Spices are the key ingredients of an Indian diet, including pepper, bay leaf, chilli, cardamom, cinnamon, etc. Viticulture promises many financial gains by offering farm-bred crops that aspire for economic profit. Also, viticulture provides a promise of employment both to the rural population and the urban people, typically through job creation in various phases of the development of horticultural produce. For the Indian economy to prosper, there is a careful need for technological progress, automotive intelligence, enterprise resource management, and knowledge transfer. In this research article, a Process called PROVENCE (Processed Verdant Cadence) applies an algorithm name CANDY (Convoluted Random Forest) which in turn starts a method called PROST (Probabilistic Random Forest) to better the overall horticultural well-being of the Indian subcontinent.

 Abstract

Coconut oil, a lauric acid-based oil, holds significant importance in industries such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics due to its desirable properties. Emulsifying coconut oil presents challenges due to the varying chain lengths and degrees of saturation in the fatty acids. Non-ionic surfactants, including sorbitan esters (Span), polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters (Tween), and polyoxyethylene ethers are used in this study, as these surfactants are commonly used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications due to their low toxicity and irritational potential. Co-surfactants such as short- to medium-chain alcohols or propylene glycol are added to lower interfacial tension. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive study of coconut oil emulsions, focusing on the role of surfactants and various factors influencing emulsion systems. The data collected and analyzed in this study involved the emulsion formation, the selection and characteristics of surfactants, and the parameters affecting emulsion stability.

 Abstract

Industrialization and population growth enhance earth greenhouse effect which is a critical environment problem. Carbon dioxide is the most significant contributor to the human influence on the green house effect and trees act as sink for CO2 by fixing carbon during photosynthesis and storing surplus carbon as biomass which after through time as tree grow, die & decay. Carbon sequestration is a natural method for the removal of carbon from atmosphere by storing it in the biosphere. As more photosynthesis occurs more co2 is converted in to biomass reducing Co2 in the atmosphere and sequestering it in plant tissue above and below ground resulting with growth of different parts. The continued and indiscriminate exploitation of forest resulted in an imminent environment crisis. The release of Co2 cannot be stopped easily. The only solution for Co2 mitigation is reforestation and conservation of existing species and diversity keeping in this view an attempt has been made to study the carbon sequestration by P1 comportment of Kamta beat forest of Chitrakoot. The study area was divided in to open and dense forest. Total 8 tree species were observed. In open forest total no. of trees was found 182 and in dense forest no. of trees was found 246. In this study carbon sequestration by open forest was 3793.94 kg/year & by dense forest 7730.95 kg/year. The total carbon sequestration was observed 11524.89 kg/year in study area.

 Abstract

Migration is simply the movement of people from one place to another. It has always been a part of human life and experience. Populations have expanded and moved across lands for various reasons and opportunities. It has resulted in a range of individual and family and economical experiences that have impacted not just regions, but countries. There are a mixture of "push factors and pull factors" that lead to various types of migration in the society. In the current study, we will discover what factors lead to migration and its consequences, the internal migration of India, the employment opportunities that differentiate migrant workers, quality of life, the challenge of their livelihoods, their economic statuses and the government policies for migrant workers, impact of the global pandemic on migrant workers, their employment status etc. Informal economy is the informal job sector for the workers not regulated, protected, monitored or taxed by the state, which involves diverse economic activities and enterprises. The informal sector accounts for more than 80 percent of the non-agricultural employment in India, as per the study of the International Labour Organization. According to WIEGO, the concept of informal economy was originally attached to self-employed workers and unregistered enterprises. In the current study, we will see the scenario of the informal sector workers in India, how the informal economy expands, the challenges faced by the workers, their livelihoods, and the related initiatives for their protection and empowerment.
