Traumatized teeth require early and appropriate treatment, which frequently relies on the competence of the dentists, doctors, and nurses who provide the primary care. Aim: To assess the knowledge and attitude of paramedical students about the emergency management of avulsed tooth. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey consisting of 17 questions was designed and circulated among 365 paramedical students (nursing, pharmacy and physiotherapy) of Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India, to assess their knowledge and attitude about the emergency management of avulsed tooth. Descriptive statistics were applied by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0. Results: Total 260 (71.23%, mean age of 23 years) students responded, with 71 students from Physiotherapy, 106 from Nursing and 83 from Pharmacy. A total of. 178 (68.46%) students com...

In this study, we show how municipalities prone to earthquakes can use this type of insurance-linked security to protect their building stock and communities from economic losses, and ultimately increase their earthquake resilience. We consider Benevento, a middle-sized historical town in southern Italy, as a case study, although the same approach is applicable to other urban areas in seismically active regions. One of the crucial steps in pricing catastrophe bonds is the computation of aggregate losses. We compute direct economic losses for each exposed asset based on high spatial resolution hazard and exposure models. Finally, we use the simulated loss data to price two types of catastrophe bonds (zero-coupon and coupon bonds) for different thresholds and maturit...

Results The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was assessed by the change in color from bright yellow to dark brown. UV-Visible spectroscopy revealed its stability at 429 nm; ATR-FTIR spectroscopy revealed the functional group responsible for its production; X-Ray Diffraction revealed its crystalline FCC structure resembling the peaks in the XRD pattern, corresponding to (110), (111), (200), and (311) planes; TEM imaging revealed its spherical morphology with an average particle size of 5.85 ± 0.84 nm ranging from 3.69 to 16.11 nm and Tauc's plot analysis revealed a band gap energy of 2.22 eV, revealing aptitude of AgNPs as a semiconductors. The subsequent characterization results revealed the effective synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The biosynthesized AgNPs were found to have significa...

The pressure vessel is designed for 24 L volume and 8 bar pressure vessels are done following ASME standard section VIII, Division I. The thickness of all cylindrical heads is calculated by different formulae and the thickness vary accordingly. However, in this project, the thickness is kept constant irrespective of cylindrical heads or ends to study its effect. FEA is performed to evaluate or study the stress parameters. The software took for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Ansys 19.2. Before that, the 3D modelling was done using SolidWorks software. After concluding the better cylindrical end or head for constant thickness, the comparison of the material is made to compare with the current state of the art and find out the better material by analyzing the circumferential stress and longitudinal stress.

The fungi were isolated from the seacoast of Diu, India. According to the ITS sequencing, the strains were identified as Penicillium oxalicum (DS-2) and Aspergillus tubingensis (DS-4). Discs of 12 mm were cut out from the edge of both the fungal isolates (DS-2 and DS-4) and inoculated in flasks consisting of potato dextrose broth with 100 mg/L Congo red for the development of fungal consortium RH-2. The degradation by the fungal consortium RH-2 was more effective than the fungal monocultures DS-2 and DS-4 with the respective degradation reaching 97.15 ± 0.15%, 68.96 ± 0.09%, and 29.96 ± 0.21% in addition of yeast extract (1% w/v ) within 12 h. The influence of dextrose (1% w/v ), yeast extract (1% w/v ), pH 5, and salt concentration (1% w/v ) enhanced the degradation potential of fungal consortium RH-2. The maximal degradation was correlated with the production of laccase (12.498 ± 0.21 U/mL) and manganese peroxidase (10.314 ± 0.25 U/mL). The catabolism of Congo red was confirmed by UV–Visible spectroscopic analysis (Congo red λ -max = 499 nm) and ATR-FTIR spectroscopic analysis. The filtrates obtained after Congo red degradation were also evaluated for microbial toxicity against bacteria ( Bacillus haynesii ) and phytotoxicity analysis on plant seed ( Trigonella foenum ) which revealed that the filtrate acquired after the treatment of Congo red by fungal consortium RH-2 was less toxic than the original dye in nature. A novel aspect is determined by the evidence of mutualistic interaction between two different fungi for the rapid decolorization and degradation of dye providing a prospective of utilizing the developed consortium RH-2 as a cost-effective approach in textile wastewater treatment for cleaner environment.

Also, Composite materials in aeronautical, marine, and automotive industries are extensively accepted because of their outstanding mechanical properties, low density, and a production facility. The conventional leaf spring used is bulky so composite leaf spring should be used as a better alternative. The present study reviews the general study of design, analysis, and comparison of traditional and composite leaf spring. Leaf spring is commonly used in the suspension system of the automotive vehicle and is subjected to multiple stress cycles that lead to fatigue failure. That affects the significant behavior of the vehicle such as comfort in riding, stability, vibration characteristics, etc. A lot of studies and researches have been done to improve all these characteristics that are reviewed in this paper. ---------...

Blockchain is gaining popularity within the domain of charity. Due to lack of transparency in the transactions involved in Donations the donor(s) are not able to know whether their donations are being utilized properly, which has made people lose trust in Charities. The paper proposes a Blockchain based Decentralized Donation tracking system built on Ethereum Blockchain which will provide full transparency, accountability and direct reach to the intended recipients.
