Title A name given to the resource Valorization of pineapple peel waste for fungal pigment production using Talaromyces albobiverticillius: Insights into antibacterial, antioxidant and textile dyeing properties Subject The topic of the resource Antioxidant; Fungal pigment; Pineapple peel; Talaromyces sp.; Textile dye Description An account of the resource The present study explores natural pigments as sustainable alternatives to synthetic textile dyes. Due to their therapeutic applications and easy production, fungal pigments have gained attention. However, data on pigment production using solid-state fermentation and optimization is limited. Milk whey was used to grow Talaromyces sp., followed by an evaluation of pigment production in solid and liquid media. Pineapple peels were used as a cost-effective substrate for pigment production, and a one-factor-at-a-time approach was used to enhance pigment production. Pineapple peel-based media produced 0.523 0.231 mg/g of pigment after eight days of incubation. The crude pigment had promising antibacterial and significant antioxidant properties. The extraction fungal pigment's possible use as an eco-friendly textile dye was assessed through fabric dyeing experiments with different mordants. This work contributes to the valorization of agricultural waste and provides insight into using fungal pigments as sustainable alternatives to synthetic textile dyes. 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Title A name given to the resource Valorization of pineapple peels through single cell protein production using saccharomyces cerevisiae NCDC 364 Subject The topic of the resource Amino acid profiling; Pineapple peels; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Single cell protein Description An account of the resource Background and objective: Pineapple peels contain significant quantities of carbohydrates, which can be used as cheap raw materials for production of commercially important products through fermentation. The aim of this study was to use this feed stock for the cultivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCDC 364 and its use as single cell protein. Material and methods: The single cell protein was produced using discarded pineapple peels and Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCDC 364. Optimization of bioprocess variables (temperature, pH, incubation period, carbon source and nitrogen source) affecting single cell protein production was carried out using classical "one factor at a time" approach. The harvested cells from optimized media were screened for amino acid content using high-performance thin-layer chromatography. Results and conclusion: The Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCDC 364 produced maximum single cell protein in pineapple peel based media, compared to non-optimized media. The "one factor at a time" approach showed that the maximum biomass production was achieved at optimized levels of temperature of 25C, pH of 5, incubation period of 120 h, carbon source of 1% sucrose and nitrogen source of 0.5% beef extract. The amino acid profiling of the harvested biomass using high-performance thin-layer chromatography analysis revealed that tryptophan included a comparatively higher concentration of 6.52%, followed by threonine (3.25%). Results of this study suggest that easily available raw materials such as fruit peels offer cost-effective substrates for production of commercially important microbial proteins for alarming global issues linked to protein malnutrition.

Title A name given to the resource Valorization of waste chilli stalks (Capsicum annuum) as a sustainable substrate for cellulose extraction: insights into its thermomechanical, film forming and biodegradation properties Subject The topic of the resource Biodegradation; Biopolymer; Cellulose; Cellulose sheet; Chilli waste; Valorization Description An account of the resource Rising global population accelerates food waste generation, thereby creating a crisis in food waste management. A solution involves deriving value-added products like cellulose biopolymer from food waste. Chilli stalk wastes are one such food waste which are generated in large quantities and are unsuitable for field use or incineration due to health and environmental challenges. A greener alternative is extracting cellulose biopolymer from chilli stalk waste. The extraction of cellulose biopolymer from chilli stalk results in a renewable, biodegradable and economically efficient biomaterial with a broad range of applications. The extraction process involving alkali treatment (NaOH) and bleaching (alkaline H2O2), resulted in a yield of 29.85% cellulose biopolymer. The extracted cellulose was subjected to quantification and functional property analysis followed by characterization (FTIR, XRD, TGA, DSC and SEM) to analyse functional groups, crystallinity, thermal properties and surface morphology. Functional property analysis resulted in higher values when compared with commercial cellulose. The characterization techniques confirmed the effective removal of impurities such as lignin, hemicellulose and pectin by the chemical treatments. Cellulose sheets, fabricated using solvent casting, exhibited exceptional biodegradability (85.36%) within 20days, surpassing conventional food packaging materials, commercial food packaging paper (15.95 0.12% [%w/w]) and plastic sheets (7.89 0.33% [%w/w]) over the same time period. The novelty of this research lies in the innovative valorization of chilli stalk waste, which often remains unused in large quantities globally. This study introduces a cost-effective method to convert it into a value-added, highly biodegradable biopolymer. The resulting cellulose sheets provide an eco-friendly substitute for traditional food packaging materials. 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

Title A name given to the resource Value Addition for Technology Start-Ups Through Physical Co-Location Subject The topic of the resource Co-location; Coworking; Opportunity; Start-up life cycle; Value addition; Vicarious learning Description An account of the resource Numerous economic theories, knowledge, social, and communication theories have extensively explored the phenomenon of physical co-location in various contexts. However, limited scholarly attention has been given to co-location in emerging contexts such as co-working spaces, predominantly used by start-ups. One of the critical questions examined is how co-location adds value to technology start-ups in the early and growth stages of their development. We chose a premium coworking space in Bangalore, Indias start-up capital, as the studys research setting during January March 2020. The qualitative research employed semi-structured interviews to explore the phenomenon. Our findings revealed that start-ups actively used co-located resources to explore, experiment, and validate new business ideas in the early stage. As they transitioned into the growth phase, they exploited co-located industry networks to expand into new markets. They also learned vicariously from other co-located resources and used them to solve complex problems and refined their processes and routines. As start-ups begin to grow and expand, co-location infrastructure-related costs are not justifiable, operations are less secure, and the meta culture of the co-located environment is in conflict with the firms operating culture. The results of this study have the potential to be significant for technology start-ups that are exploring new ways of working and addressing uncertainties during the early and growth stages of their development. 2021, Associated Management Consultants Pvt.

Title A name given to the resource Value addition to international students' exchange programs through engagement in services Subject The topic of the resource Economic empowerment; Education; Exchange students; Health; Social responsibility; Urban slums Description An account of the resource Social responsibility has been an emerging concept in Higher Educational Institutions in India. Promoting social responsibility through international students' exchange programs helps students' capacity to improve their cultural, social and service knowledge to bring about sustainable and meaningful development. This chapter looks at the impact of the interventions of international students in slum communities, especially working with children and women for their academic, health and economic empowerment. This was a qualitative study using a self-structured interview schedule. Data were collected from twenty international students from universities of Norway and the Netherlands who were placed in urban slums for five years and thirty children and women from urban slums of Bangalore who benefitted from this program. A purposive sampling method was used, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. This chapter reveals the development of children and women through international students' programs and helps showcase further planning for innovative programs for vulnerable populations. Attitudes of both groups towards cultural differences and the expectation and effectiveness of the exchange program may also be described in this chapter. This chapter intends to help plan international exchange programs from different dimensions benefiting the slum communities for their development and sensitizing cultural differences from different perspectives. 2024 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Title A name given to the resource Value Ingredients Private Limited: engaging farmers for achieving triple bottom line Subject The topic of the resource Break-even analysis; Spice supply chain; Strategic management; Supply chain management; Sustainability; Sustainable development; Triple bottom line Description An account of the resource Learning outcomes: After completion of this case study, students will be able to apply the triple bottom line concept to a spice manufacturing and export company (RBT 3); to examine the options before Value Ingredients Private Limited (VIPL), namely, to cultivate spices in the traditional way versus adopting integrated pest management (IPM) to cater to international markets (RBT 4); to analyse the returns for an IPM farmer vis-vis a conventional farmer, and to compare the returns therein (RBT 4); and to evaluate the ways and means of engaging farmers to change their way of cultivation (RBT 5) Case overview/synopsis: The COVID-19 pandemic heightened awareness about the benefits of spices and buoyed its demand worldwide, which presented an opportunity to VIPL, a spice manufacturing company based in Chennai, to expand its business. However, the export markets demanded residue-free spices grown with little or no use of pesticides. Traditional farmers supplying spices to VIPL were accustomed to spraying pesticides whenever there was a pest attack. This case study discussed the options that the protagonist Mr Sijil Karim, managing director and CEO of VIPL, had, who wanted to onboard farmers for pesticide-free cultivation. The options before him were either to continue traditional farming or adopt IPM. This case study discussed the merits, demerits and challenges of each of these options. The triple bottom line concept discussed three Ps people, planet and prosperity for this case as follows: The farmers and the consumers constituted the people in the spice supply chain. The farmers supplying organic, export-worthy spices under the guidance of VIPL gained 30% more than regular spice farmers, which were accrued through cost savings and better prices. The consumers benefitted from the pesticide-free, organic spices through accrued health gains. The manufacture of organic, pesticide-free spices helped the planet, as the process did not release hazardous chemicals into the atmosphere. VIPL manufactured pesticide-free spice with a focus on prosperity. Complexity academic level: The case study can be introduced in a course on sustainability while discussing the triple bottom line concept. This case study showed how a for-profit company grew without losing sight of the planet or its focus on people. This case is best suited for students who have preliminary knowledge of supply chain management, operations and sustainability. Therefore, it is suited for sophomore-year students of MBA.

Title A name given to the resource Value-based teaching English language and literature Subject The topic of the resource dharma (duty); human behaviour; moral; value education Description An account of the resource Aim. The ultimate aim became the realisation of the political ideas of democracy, equality, and social justice (Orlenius, 2001; Svingby, 1994, p. 57). The current study aimed to explore the concept of value education at Poornaprajna institutions that have adopted value education in their curriculum. Methods. The study was designed in a qualitative exploratory research approach. The researcher had adopted the interviews for a case study as a microscopic social study through observation and also studied the archival records in Poornaprajna institutions. The informal group interviews were administered as part of a qualitative research approach, which aimed to collect data from twenty eight English teachers and students of Poornaprajna institutions. Result. The validity and trustworthiness of the study were established by adopting Miles and Hubemans formula, which amounted to 0.91. The exploration and findings revealed the need and implication of value education in the present scenario. Further-more, the data analysis revealed that value education is a process that begins at home and continues in society, and further, it continues in formal educational institutions. Conclusion. The study envisions that the educational institutions must integrate the curriculum with value education so that students cultural worlds, meanings they attribute to behaviour, events which essentially lead to the developmental process of the society. The National Education Policy 2020, aims to universalise education in India by 2025; it also aims at inter-and multidisciplinary approaches in Indian education. The pre-sent study juxtaposes an interdisciplinary approach to English and value education. 2021, Pro Scientia Publica Foundation. All rights reserved.

Among the more pioneering technologies of recent times, autonomous vehicles (AV) are being touted as the future of transportation. AVs are featured prominently due to their ability to provide services across the implementations concerning smart-city applications. Since the newlinenodes (AV) involved are highly mobile, it is important to keep the device connected and adapt the dynamic topology change. The network should be capable of switching AV between access points (AP s) dynamic and must take place without much delay. Handoff is the process where a node switches between APs depending on the changes in the network topology. Various studies have claims that the use of Machine Learning or Deep Learning improves the efficiency of decision making in mobile networks. In this research work a dynamic handoff framework, inspired by the traditional Indian game of Kho-Kho is proposed. It selects the most optimal AP for newlinecommunication in a mobile environment. Initially the nodes within an AP are newlinecategorized as sticking and steering nodes. Identifying the nodes list for executing newlinethe Kho-Kho based handoff for the steering nodes. The framework makes use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to perform the operation of handoff and selects the most optimal AP once the handoff trigger occurs. ANN is designed for multiple parameters, including signal strength, noise, and direction to make its decisions regarding handoff. The proposed Kho-Kho model has been newlineimplemented and analyzed using the NS3 simulator. Simulation results have indicated a higher performance of the proposed Kho-Kho approach when compared to the existing standard implemented for vehicular ad hoc newlinecommunications in IEEE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thomas, Libin Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Author's Submission Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Christ(Deemed to be University) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024-01-01 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource J, Sandeep Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Open Access Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource PDF Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource PhD Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://hdl.handle.net/10603/586403" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://hdl.handle.net/10603/586403</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Vapor growth and optimization of supersaturation for tailoring the physical properties of stoichiometric Sb2Se3 crystalline habits Description An account of the resource The evolution of different morphologies (fibers, whiskers, needles, and spherulites) of antimony selenide (Sb2Se3), devoid of foreign chemical elements, was explored by the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, employing an indigenously assembled tubular furnace, which showed layer growth mode as per the metallurgical and scanning electron micrographs. Supersaturation for crystallization was optimized by precisely controlling the difference in temperatures of nutrient and growth zones, ?T = TN ? TG, where ?T = 125 to 350C. The strain and dislocation density of the crystals were evaluated from the crystallographic data. Monophase nature has been confirmed by Rietveld refinement analysis of the PXRD findings, using Full Proof software. UVVis-NIR and PL spectra of the morphologies revealed band gap, Eg in the range, 1.151.18eV. Among these habits, good-quality whiskers bearing flat faces of appreciable crystallinity, stoichiometry, thermal stability and mechanical strength were produced due to the periodic deposition of atoms associated with the progression of smooth vaporsolid (v?) interface as evident from PXRD, EDAX, XPS, TGA and microindentation analyses. Hall effect measurements resulted in obtaining appreciable values of electrical parameters, ? = 145.36 ? cm and n = 7.39 1018cm?3 for PV applications. Moreover, optical studies justified direct transition with adequate photon absorption which promises the suitability of whiskers as absorbers in the energy conversion process. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Title A name given to the resource Vapour growth and characterization of beta indium sesquitelluride crystals Subject The topic of the resource ?-In2Te3; Characterization; Crystal morphology; Physical vapour deposition Description An account of the resource Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) provides stoichiometric crystals of different morphology, depending upon the materials, geometry of ampoules, temperature profiles, growth parameters and kinetics of crystallization. The crystal forms such as needles, platelets and spherulites of beta indium sesquitelluride (?-In2Te3) were produced by controlling the temperature of source and growth zones. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and chemical analysis of the spherulitic crystals confirmed zinc blende structure with beta phase. Their resistivity (135.16 ? cm) at room temperature (300 K) was determined by van der Pauw method. The temperature dependence of DC conductivity was investigated using the conventional two-probe technique. The variation of dielectric constant (?1) and dielectric loss (tan ?) with temperature has been studied for different frequencies (1 kHz-1 MHz). The AC conductivity, ?ac(?) was found to vary with angular frequency as ?s, where s is the frequency exponent. The values of s lie very close to unity and show a slight decrease with increase in temperature, which indicate a Correlated Barrier Hopping (CBH) between centres forming Intimate Valence Alternation Pairs (IVAP). The activation energy for conduction ranges from 0.187 eV to 0.095 eV. The microhardness of ?-In2Te3 spherulites is found to be 353.5 kg/mm2, which is higher than that of other semiconducting chalcogenides. The results thus obtained on crystals grown from vapour phase open up ample possibilities for radiation detector applications. 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Title A name given to the resource Variable initial energy and unequal clustering (VEUC) based multicasting in WSN Subject The topic of the resource Hotspot problem; Multicasting; Unequal clustering; Unequal initial energy; Wireless sensor networks Description An account of the resource Multicast Communication plays an important role in most of the resource constrained networking environments such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Internet of Things (IOT). Communication in WSN is restricted by energy, computation and memory capabilities of sensor nodes. Designing an efficient routing algorithm to achieve communication between Stationary Base station (BS) and a cluster of sensor nodes in a specific region requires the base station to send individual messages to all sensor nodes. This approach consumes a large amount of energy and bandwidth. A variety of algorithms exist to address this issue by dividing the sensor nodes into clusters. Each cluster is monitored by a Cluster Head (CH), responsible for gathering and aggregating data to send the same to the BS. In this paper, we reviewed existing clustering techniques and propose an unequal clustering based scheme. This allows the BS to communicate a multicast message to cluster members as well as a cluster head to communicate with other cluster members. The results show that our approach improves network lifetime. 2017 IEEE. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Vikram G.R.; Krishna A.V.N.; Chatrapati K.S.
