Optimizing the efficiency of solar flat plate collector with trapezoidal reflector
Solar flat plate collectors are the most vital parts of a solar heating system. The collector plate absorbs the energy from the sun and transforms this radiation into heat and then transmit this heat into a fluid, it can either water or air. This research paper proposes a new technology to enhance the performance of the solar flat plate collector. A trapezoidal solar reflector is connected with the flat plate collector to enhance the amount of sunlight which hits the collector plate surface. The trapezoidal reflector concentrates both the direct and diffused radiation of the sun towards the flat plate collector. To maximize the concentration of incident radiation the trapezoidal reflector was permitted to change its inclination with the direction of sunlight. A prototype of a solar water heating system with trapezoidal reflector was constructed and achieved the improvement of collector plate efficiency by around 12%-13%. Thus the current solar heating system has the best thermal performance compared to the existing systems. 2019 Author(s). -
Option or necessity: Role of environmental education as transformative change agent
There is a consensus around the importance of environmental education in mitigating the ill effects of environmental problems and preserving the natural environment and promoting green behaviours. The present paper studies the role of environmental education based on transformative learning theory. It intends to present and test a model proposal using sequential mediation analysis of several constructs as the Environmental Education Support (EES) and Volunteer Attitude (VA). A quantitative study was carried out by using data obtained through online questionnaires from several Indian and Brazilian Higher Education Institutions. A multivariate statistical method was employed to analyse the data by using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results demonstrated that environmental education positively influences students environmental concern, willingness to be environmentally friendly, and volunteer attitude. As a novelty, it reports that environmental education beliefs, concern for the environment and willingness to be environmentally friendly sequentially mediate the relationship between environmental education support and volunteering attitude. 2023 Elsevier Ltd -
Opto-electric property relationship in phosphorus embedded nanocarbon
Graphene, due to its zero band gap, has an excellent combination of the important features such as ballistic transport, tensile strength and chemical tuning, which are practically hindered in opto-electric applications. The precursors used in the production of nanocarbon are relatively costlier; however, that their production processes include difficulties is a harder problem. It is possible to control the size, structure and properties of the produced nanocarbon matrix by tuning sp2 domains in the matrix. In this respect, the coal, being a potential candidate for the synthesis of nanocarbon which holds promising applications, has attracted remarkable interest. The nanocarbon structure reported in this paper was synthesized from bituminous coal and then phosphorus atoms were added into the produced structure in order to obtain resultant composite structure, whose structural properties were illustrated here in detail by using the X-ray, IR and UVVisible spectroscopy techniques. A systematical analysis of the optical and electrical properties of the produced composite has revealed that a composite structure to be produced in the ratio 1:2 of nanocarbon + phosphorus has better optical and electrical properties. We report here that the composite produced in this study from nanocarbon by adding phosphorous atoms shows unique photoluminescent property in particular due to the dominance of quantum confinement and oxygen functionalities. The observed increase in the dielectric strength, which results from interfacial polarization and its frequency independent nature, is desirable for the fields such as supercapacitor, sensor, stealth applications etc. 2018 The Authors -
Oral cancer analysis using machine learning techniques
Oral cancer staging is most required task of examining treatment and required medication for the patients. In oral cancer staging is of two types, namely, clinical and pathological. TNM (Tumor, Node, and Metastasis) staging is clinical system of predicting oral cancer stages, on the other hand Histology, p63 and podoplanin expressions are pathological staging system which is obtained after biopsy test. These staging systems are used in machine leaning techniques to analyze the different stages of oral cancer. The main aim of the paper is to classify different stages of oral cancer using machine learning techniques. The experimental work is based on clinical and pathological staging system. The data set used for this research work is based on Oral Leukoplakia. The data transformation is applied to standardize the data and the features were extracted using correlation coefficient. The extracted features were classified using Decision tree and random forest which are compared against other popular classification methods like SVM, KNN, MLP and Logistic Regression. From the experimental work, it is found that the various stage classification of oral cancer can be classified efficiently with help of Random Forest and Decision Tree. So the classification of various oral cancers can be performed with help of random forest and Decision Tree. International Research Publication House. -

Orality, Literacy, and Modernity: A Reading of The Legends of Khasak
What is the relationship between literacy and culture? It is not possible to give a simple answer to this question. Eric Havelock, while commenting on ancient Greek culture and literacy, observes that the classic culture of Greece had attained an advanced stage even before the emergence of Greek script. It continued to exist as an oral culture for a long time (Havelock 1963, 117120). A culture without a script is not uncivilized or underdeveloped. Havelock observes: One can propose with assurance that the pre-Homeric epoch the Dark Age yields for the historian what might be called a controlled experiment in non-literacy. Here, if anywhere, we can study those conditions on which a total culture, and a very complex one, relied for its preservation upon oral tradition alone.

Organization justice impact on employee work engagement
Research methodology: For the study 200 employees of selected Educational Institutions in North NCR was taken as respondents. Data was collected using standard questionnaire containing standard scaled of distributive, procedural, interactional, trust and employee engagement. The relationships between justice perceptions and work engagement were analyzed using correlations and regression analysis. Findings: The analysis of the study indicates that there is a strong and positive relationship among organization justice and employee engagement. The study also indicates that procedural, interactional and distributive justice are inter related with each other. Further, distributive and interactional justice take precedence over procedural justice in determining job engagement, while distributive justice plays the most important role in determining organization engagement (OE), followed by procedural and interactional justice. Limitations: This paper adds to the very small number of studies that have investigated the role of interactional justice in enhancing job and OEs. It has also established inter-relationships between the three dimensions of organizational justice and their individual roles in determining job and OEs. 2020 SERSC. -
Organizational contributions to emergency preparedness and response in Varanasi: A comprehensive analysis
India's unique geographical diversity and status as the world's most populous nation make it exceptionally susceptible to a wide array of hazards, both natural and human-induced. This vulnerability is further compounded by the intersection of diverse disasters and the dense population, leading to significant human and material losses. In response to these challenges, effective emergency preparedness plans are indispensable, requiring meticulous risk assessments, strategic resource allocation, capacity building initiatives, and active engagement of community-oriented organizations. Continuous monitoring and adaptation are essential for bolstering resilience and safeguarding socio-economic stability. Furthermore, the examination of developmental and disaster-specific organizations' roles in preparedness and response necessitates a systematic shift towards proactive paradigms, fostering an anticipatory culture rather than a reactive one. This study aims to dissect the intricate web of organizational efforts crucial for emergency preparedness in Varanasi, one of the world's oldest cities. By delving into these critical mechanisms, our goal is to enhance collective readiness against potential emergencies, safeguarding the city's rich heritage and its inhabitants. Through a mixed-method approach, this research illuminates the multifaceted involvement of organizations across various sectors, unraveling a complex tapestry of challenges that impede practical disaster preparedness. We scrutinize the coordination among governmental and non-governmental entities, funding dynamics, and grassroots alliances, revealing untapped resources for disaster resilience. Additionally, we analyze the strategies adopted by the national emergency preparedness and response force, highlighting both successes and shortcomings. Moreover, this study underscores the unique competencies of individuals involved in disaster preparedness, while identifying structural and functional gaps within organizational frameworks. Conversely, non-profit organizations face distinct challenges, including fundraising constraints and donor-imposed limitations, hindering their ability to develop comprehensive emergency preparedness and response capacities compared to public and private entities. In summary, this research serves as a comprehensive exploration of organizational dynamics in emergency preparedness within Varanasi, offering valuable insights into the complexities of disaster management efforts. By addressing these challenges, we aim to pave the way for more effective and inclusive disaster preparedness strategies, ultimately enhancing the resilience of Varanasi and similar communities globally. 2024 Elsevier Ltd -

Organizational Preparedness for Navigating Disruption Towards Sustainability: Strategies Analysis
The study explores how design thinking principles can be leveraged to enhance an organization's preparedness for disruptive innovation. To address this challenge, the authors sought to empathize with their clients, recognizing the need for a comprehensive evaluation. A framework guided by five fundamental principles - Scrutiny, Bravery, Resilience, Prosperous and Perseverance - was developed that integrates user-centred design methodologies to evaluate an organization's strengths and weaknesses in the face of disruption. We analysed and interpreted the intricacies of emerging market disruptions, providing organizations with the GroKalp Assessment Tool, an automated tool for self-evaluation and strategic adjustment leading towards a sustainable future. These principles were further broken down into fifteen distinct parameters, each thoughtfully designed to offer organizations a detailed and insightful method for evaluating their responses to the relentless waves of transformative innovation. By utilizing the GroKalp Assessment Tool, organizations can position themselves in one of three categories: Innovators, Adapters, or Resistance Fighters. Design thinking tools are vital in this process, as they encourage creative problem-solving, innovation, and adaptation in an era of rapid technological change. The Authors. -
Organizing data using lists: A sequential data structure
Computer programming aims to organize and process data to get the desired result. Software developer chooses a programming language for application development based on the data processing capabilities of the language. The list is one of the sequential data structures in Python. A list is limited to a particular data type, such as numbers or strings. Occasionally, a list may include data of mixed types, including numbers and strings. Elements in the list can be accessed by using the index. Usually, a list's elements are enclosed within square brackets and divided using commas. The list may be referred to as a dynamic-sized array, which denotes that its size increases as additional data is added and that its size is not predefined. List data structure allows repetition; hence, a single data item may appear several times in a list. The list assists us in solving several real-world problems. This chapter deals with the list's creation and manipulation, the complexity of processing the list, sorting, stack, and queue operations. 2023, IGI Global. All rights reserved. -
Orhan pamuks the white castle as a text on secular discourse
The impact of religious thought and practice on literature and culture was very evident till the latter part of the nineteenth century. But with the publication of Darwins Origin of Species, voices of dissent were heard from the scientific and literary world. Writers strongly felt that the objective of literature was not to be dogmatic, but to provide the necessary ingredients that would contribute to a healthy and secular society. The emergence of postmodernism saw religion once again taking center stage. This paper seeks to understand what secularism is, and the evolution in meaning this term has undergone over the ages. In this process, the theories and ideas of religious and political thinkers are examined to understand the essence of the term secularism. In an era when religious fundamentalism is on the rise and literature is censured on religious or cultural grounds, the paper analyzes Orhan Pamuks The White Castle and concludes with the contention that the text can definitely be a source of secular discourse (which indeed is the essence of religious texts) that nations can emulate, contrary to the idea of narrow secular nationalism currently being propagated by States.
