Nanoparticles of pure TiO2 and carbon doped TiO2 (at various concentrations 1, 2, 3 and 4 %) were synthesised by Sol gel method using titanium butoxide and glucose as a precursors for Titanium dioxide and carbon respectively. The samples were calcinated at 500 °C. Photocatalytic activity of the samples was tested for photodegradation of methylene blue dye. Morphological and elemental analysis of the samples were carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), X-ray diffraction and micro-raman spectroscopy while for optical characterization UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra were employed. Results of all samples indicated crystallite growth in a tetragonal structure with the variation in crystallite size in the range 9 nm to 12.6 nm with increase in the concentration of dopant in TiO2. Diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) analysis indicated that the band gap of all doped TiO2 nanoparticles is lesser than that of the pure TiO2 whereas 4C-TiO2 showed smallest band gap (2.98 eV). The maximum photocatalytic activity was observed with 4C-TiO2 among all the samples.

In today's society, there is a growing demand for smart home solutions that not only enhance convenience but also make a significant impact on affordability and widespread adoption. This paper describes the proposed design of a Node MCU-based Home Automation system with an integrated Wi-Fi module that enables internet-based remote control of home devices. The design utilizes a basic code template to connect with the Tasmota Web interface to configure the ESP module. The system is integrated with Alexa, offering various integration options such as routines, schedules and alarms. Furthermore, it adds a manual control feature for situations where there is no internet connection and an additional level of safety through emergency controls in the event of electronic failure. A comparison of energy usage with and without the use of the proposed system is also reported. A noticeable decrease in daily electricity consumption is observed on using the designed automation system. To ensure cost-effectiveness, locally available components are utilized in the design. Consequently, it ensures that enhanced comfort, convenience, and control over one's living environment are available to a wider audience.

An ionic liquid tagged schiff base, [1-{2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)ethyl}-3-methylimidazolium]PF6 was synthesized from a functionalized ionic liquid (FIL) 2-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [2-aemim]PF6 and salicylaldehyde without using any organic solvent. The Schiff base was used as a ligand to trap Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) ions from its corresponding metal acetates and to form the new transition metal complexes. The synthesized Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) complexes along with the Schiff base were characterized by ESI-MS, PXRD, UV-Visible, FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopic and analytical (elemental analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements) methods. Based on these spectral analysis data tetra coordinated geometries were assigned for the newly synthesized metal(II) complexes. Antibacterial sensitivity of the Schiff base and the Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) complexes were evaluated against gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria to assess their minimum zone of inhibition.

A passive suspension system is used by the automotive industry to control the motion of the vehicle. Nowadays, semiactive and active suspension systems are a requirement of commercial vehicles to improve performance characteristics and road comfort. The objective of the paper is to present a comprehensive analysis of passive, semiactive, and active suspension systems. The fuzzy logic controller is used to present the active suspension system. The characteristic of the shock absorber (damper) is non-linear and hysteresis in nature. Hence, a Magneto-rheological (MR) damper-based Bouc-Wen model is utilized to present the semiactive suspension. The comparative analysis of vehicle suspension characteristics has been carried out by using a bump road profile. The modeling of the Bouc-Wen model and quarter car system is carried out in the Simulink environment. The simulated results show that the semiactive and active suspension systems can be a better option for vehicle suspension systems to provide passengers with road comfort.

When the source for the energy-momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings, a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V cosmological model is considered in this paper in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez-Ballester, we derive a determinate solution utilizing the plausible physical conditions: (i) the scalar of spacetime expansion is proportional to the shear scalar; (ii) the baratropic equation of state for pressure and density; and (iii) the bulk viscous pressure is related to the energy density. The model's physical and kinematic features are also discussed.

In this study, different sizes (25, 50, and 75 µm) and volume fractions (1, 2, and 3 wt%) of calcined eggshell particles were utilized to strengthen the Al-Si-Mg alloy. Several experimental runs were conducted to assess the impact of particle size and concentration on both physical properties (density, corrosion, and thermal conductivity) and mechanical properties (hardness, yield strength, impact energy, and modulus of elasticity). The findings revealed significant enhancements in hardness (21 %), yield strength (61 %), modulus of elasticity (43 %), and thermal conductivity (34 %). Conversely, a reduction of 62 % in impact strength and 8 % in density was observed. The corrosion rate displayed an increase from 0 to 16.67 mpy. Analysis using XRD and XRF techniques identified CaO and Al2O3 as the primary constituents of the eggshell. Optical micrographs consistently showed cored (segregated) dendritic structures typical of castings cooled under normal conditions in the Al-Si-Mg composite. SEM micrographs, EDS spectra, and area analyses confirmed a uniform distribution of Calcined Eggshell Particles (CEP) within the composite films. Additionally, an optimal calcination condition for the eggshell particles was determined to be 900 °C for 2.5 h, resulting in a CaO yield of 99.62 %.

The mitigation of mild steel corrosion in 1.0 M H2SO4 solution by trimethoprim drug as a green and commercially available inhibitor was studied at room temperature using weight loss, open circuit potential, and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The results showed that the investigated compound's inhibition efficiency depended on the concentration and nature of the inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with the concentration of the inhibitor. The polarization result indicated that the compound behaved as mix type inhibitor. The inhibition is assumed to occur via physical adsorption of inhibitor on the metal surface, which obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results confirmed the formation of a protective layer on the mild steel surface.

A novel adsorbent-activated carbon-loaded cellulose composite bead (AC-CCB) was synthesized by sol-gel conversion for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDAX). The maximum dye removal was found to be 96.5, 92.3, and 81.8 %, corresponding to MB concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 mgL-1, respectively. Isotherm and the kinetic study were carried out with an AC-CCB dose of 1.0 g L-1, a shaking speed of 125 rpm, and the initial MB concentration ranging from 25-100 mg L-1. In order to study the kinetics of MB adsorption onto AC-CCB, the temperature was fixed at 298 K, whereas, for the isotherm study, the temperature varied from 298 to 318 K. The process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with rate constant (k2) 28.7x10-2, 11.1x10-2 and 9.41x10-2 g.mg.min-1 corresponding to MB concentration of 25, 50 and 100 mg L-1. Freundlich, Langmuir, and Sips models were found to fit well with the adsorption data. The negative values and the positive values suggested that the adsorption of MB onto AC-CCB was spontaneous and endothermic.
