Within the framework of sustainable development and the circular economy, it is essential to utilize natural materials derived from agricultural waste as adsorbents. The objective of this study is to investigate the removal capacities of nitrates and phosphates using biosorbents derived from cocoa shells and rubber tree residues, in order to identify the most suitable biosorbent for each type of pollutant.The optimal conditions for biosorbent preparation were determined using experimental design methodology.

Aevaluation of earthquake resistance behavior of reinforced concrete moment-resisting structures structures having G+10 and G+20 structural arrangementswas carried out through STAAD Pro V8i software V8i software analytical software under various earthquake-prone zones defined according to IS 1893:2016 provisions. The study examined the influence of structural geometry and bay arrangement on horizontal displacement response, inter-storey drift, floor-wise shear force, and stiffness characteristics.

The need for adequate resistance against seismic forces is particularly highlighted as a consequence of the rapid urbanization and the demand for high rise structures. Although Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) moment-resisting frame (MRF) buildings are very popular in the construction industry due to their strength, durability and architectural flexibility, they are generally too flexible in respect of lateral stiffness for seismic safety in tall buildings. Various systems of bracing are used in RCC frames for improving structural stability and control of the lateral displacements.

The investigation of green chemistry approaches in medicinal chemistry has been prompted by the growing need for efficient and ecologically friendly chemical synthesis methods. These articles emphasize environmentally friendly pyrazole derivative synthesis techniques, which are good substitutes for synthetic techniques that uphold green principles. They also focus on Schiff bases, formed by condensing carbonyl compounds and primary amines, which have diverse industrial and biomedical applications, and their synthesis is being made more sustainable through green chemistry.

Accidental intraoral injection of formalin instead of local anaesthetic represents a rare but significant iatrogenic emergency in dental practice. Although formalin is an essential fixative for histopathology, its highly caustic nature makes it dangerous in the operatory environment when stored improperly. The incident typically occurs when colorless solutions are kept in unlabeled or repurposed local anaesthetic vials, a practice still prevalent in some clinical settings in India.

Hypopigmented dermatoses in children, especially when recurrent and progressive, pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case describes an 11-year-old male with rapidly progressive, multiple hypopigmented patches over the upper trunk, previously treated with conventional medicine with temporary relief and early relapse. A detailed classical homeopathic approach incorporating mental evolution, totality of symptoms, repertorisation, and miasmatic understanding was applied.

Severe acne with cystic eruptions and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a common chronic dermatological concern, often associated with psychological distress and reduced self-esteem. A 19-year-old female presented with long-standing papulo-pustular and cystic acne involving face and upper back with suppuration and pitting scars, with minimal benefit from previous conventional interventions. Individualized homeopathic management was initiated based on totality of symptoms and classical homeopathic principles, along with systematic follow-ups.

Predicting student academic performance from smartphone usage patterns requires careful preprocessing of heterogeneous mobile sensor data before deep learning model training. This research introduces AMIN (Adaptive Multimodal Imputation and Normalization), a systematic preprocessing framework designed to standardize noisy, incomplete smartphone behavioral data for educational prediction tasks.

In response to the alarming rise in obesity and hypertension among young people, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of regularly playing the traditional game " Lipato " as an extracurricular activity on the body composition and blood pressure of students in rural areas. The study was conducted on a sample of 64 students aged 18 to 22, divided into two equal groups: an experimental group (EG) that participated in a " Lipato " playing program for 12 weeks during the school holidays, and a control group (CG) that received no intervention.

The agricultural sector in South Asia, especially countries like Bangladesh, China, and India, relies heavily on cotton, a crop vital to both the economy and the global textile industry. However, cotton production faces significant challenges from leaf diseases, which can drastically reduce crop yield, impacting farmers’ livelihoods and the region’s economy. Traditional methods for detecting these diseases involve manual inspection, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to error.
