The Nexus of Cognitive and Emotional Intelligence: A Study on Student Learning Outcomes for Academic Excellence
Get PDFThis study delves into the dynamic interplay between cognitive and emotional intelligence, revealing their synergistic impact on student learning outcomes. Cognitive intelligence is shown to be a cornerstone of analytical thinking and problem solving, whereas emotional intelligence cultivates essential life skills such as self-awareness, empathy, and effective interpersonal relationships. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research endeavor combined surveys and observational studies involving 250 students and 40 educators. Standardized assessment tools, including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) for cognitive abilities and the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal (EIA), were used to evaluate participants. The findings indicate a strong positive correlation (r = 0.78, p < 0.01) between cognitive and emotional intelligence, emphasizing their collective influence on academic performance (average GPA increase of 12%) and social adaptability (measured through peer interaction scores). The study's outcomes underscore the imperative need for educational frameworks to incorporate both cognitive and emotional intelligence dimensions. By doing so, educators can foster the development of well-rounded learners equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex world
A Thermal Study on Foam-Based Eco-friendly Cinder Tiles
Get PDFThis study focusses on usage of fly ash and metakaolin as industrial waste to aerate lightweight foam concrete (LFGC) using hydrogen peroxide. By designing and optimising the components of metakaolin, hydrogen peroxide, and fly ash, physical properties such as mechanical strength, thermal characteristics, and heat resistance are assessed. Lightweight foam concrete has a dry density between 1400 and 1800 kg/m3, a bending strength between 0.7 and 1 MPa, and thermal conductivity between 0.1 and 0.7 W/mK, all of which indicate that it is more lightweight than normal concrete. By dumping solid waste on land, the environment suffers, and it leads to the release of toxic gases into the atmosphere and get polluted. As a byproduct, swapping out the cement with concrete would be a practical and cost-effective way to use the refuse. Alkaline solutions such as NaOH and Na2Sio3 are used to prepare geopolymer concrete. Samples of geopolymer concrete made with fly ash and metakaolin are cured in the oven for 24 hours. Geopolymer concrete is a form of material-based construction in which industrial raw materials supplied by businesses are incorporated into it. This lowers carbon emissions and makes the concrete more environmentally friendly. Using MATLAB, we predict which is the best value of bending strength, thermal conductivity, heat resistance, and dry density of various ash concrete. Effective input variables for geopolymer concrete include the amounts of fly ash, metakaolin, NaOH, and Na2SiO3, Fine aggregate, and the ratio of NaOH and Na2SiO3 and the output variables are bending strength, dry density, thermal conductivity, heat resistance

Utilizing Chlorophyll as a Natural Chelating Agent for the Remediation of Heavy Metal Pollution: A Density Functional Theory Study
Get PDFHeavy metal pollution, driven by industrialization, urbanization, and inadequate waste management, poses significant environmental and health risks. Toxic elements such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) persist in ecosystems and bioaccumulate within biological systems, leading to severe health effects. Major contamination sources include industrial processes, agricultural practices, and improper waste disposal. Unlike organic pollutants, heavy metals do not degrade over time, allowing long-distance transport and deposition in soils and sediments. Traditional remediation methods often generate secondary waste, while adsorption techniques face material regeneration challenges. Natural chelating agents like chlorophyll, integral to photosynthesis, offer a promising alternative due to their ability to form stable complexes with heavy metals, reducing their bioavailability and toxicity. This study explores chlorophyll's potential in sequestering heavy metals through Density Functional Theory (DFT) to analyze the electronic structure and bonding characteristics of metal-chlorophyll complexes, aiming to develop sustainable and eco-friendly remediation strategies
Damping of Alfvén Waves in Partially Ionized Plasmas Due to Ion-Neutral Collisions
Get PDFAlfvén waves play a crucial role in astrophysical plasmas, particularly in the interstellar medium (ISM) and the solar chromosphere, where partial ionization significantly influences wave dynamics. In such environments, collisions between ions and neutrals introduce a damping mechanism that affects wave propagation. In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the damping rate of Alfvén waves due to ion-neutral collisions using a two-fluid approach. By incorporating the effects of ion-neutral drift and frictional heating, we obtain a modified dispersion relation that quantifies the damping rate as a function of plasma parameters such as ionization fraction, wave frequency, and collisional cross-sections. Our results demonstrate that for typical ISM and solar atmospheric conditions, ion-neutral collisions introduce significant dissipation, particularly at small wavelengths. These findings have important implications for the heating of partially ionized plasmas and the dissipation of MHD turbulence in astrophysical environments. Our results are consistent with recent numerical and observational studies on wave damping in partially ionized plasmas, reinforcing the role of ion-neutral interactions in shaping plasma dynamics
Development of Canadian Water Quality Index (WQI) of Vidhyadhari, an Estuarine River in Eastern India
Get PDFSurface water represents one of the most utilized sources for water distribution systems globally, despite the fact that rapid urbanization and industrialization has reduced its cleanliness. As a result, the end-user's health is seriously impacted by the dirty water. Nevertheless, it is clear that many developing nations, including India, pay little regard to or care about this crucial issue. The Vidhyadhari River has become a receiver of high organic and bacteriological load of entire Kolkata City through Basanti canal. As a result, the purpose of this investigation is to evaluate how rapid urbanization and industrialization has changed the water quality of Vidhyadhari River using Canadian Water Quality Index (WQI). We have used seasonal water quality data collected at two monitoring stations (Haroa bridge and Malancha) from 2011 to 2020 to study the water quality of Vidhyadhari River. Results of the study indicated that the annual WQI value of Haroa brigde ranged between 21.62 (very bad) and 62.89 (medium) with an average of 27.29 (bad), whereas annual WQI value of Malancha station ranged between 15.44 (very bad) and 43.09 (bad) with an average of 18.77 (very bad). In comparison to downward location, the water quality of Vidhyadhari River was somehow good at upstream i.e., Haroa brigde. According to WQI, the water quality of Vidhyadhari River fall into bad to very bad category, which indicated deterioration of river water quality. Factor analysis revealed that both stations are predominated by hardness cluster (hardness, calcium, magnesium and chloride) followed by cluster of total dissolved solids (TDS), sulphate and ammonia. Sewer, excessive human activity, industrial discharges, poor sanitation, and urban runoff outflow can be extrapolated as the main causes for the deterioration of Vidhyadhari River water quality. This study emphasized the significance of implementing measurement actions, introduction of watershed characteristics and implications for developing water management strategies

Get PDFAddressing aflatoxin contamination in red chilli powder requires a multi-faceted approach, including prevention, regular monitoring, and stringent regulatory measures to protect consumer health. This study seeks a technological approach to destroy the aflatoxin generated in red chilli powder. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of low or vacuum pressure (VCP) plasma on detoxifying aflatoxins in red chilli (Capsicum anuum L.). Vacuum (0.5 mbar pressure) Cold Plasma treatment was applied for aflatoxins contaminated red chilli powder sample at different exposure times: 3, 6, and 9 min at 37 ˚C. All the types of aflatoxins in red chilli powder samples were significantly reduced, and AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2 were not detected in any treated chilli powder samples. The lowest AFB1 level (1.6µg/kg) was recorded in a 3 min treated sample. Water activity, moisture percentage, and colour of chilli powder significantly decreased with increasing treatment time, highlighting negative effects of VCP treatment. The study reveals the potential for the removal of aflatoxin using VCP
Bioremediation of Chromium (III) from Tannery Effluent using Microalgae
Get PDFHeavy metal (HM) pollution has slowly but surely crept into the list of direst issues being faced by mankind. It usually results in a myriad of complications for the environment as well as human health. Conventional techniques for the treatment of HM pollution are sometimes not effective under certain conditions. Treatment of HM pollution is currently being explored by utilizing biological activity of plants, algae, fungi, etc. Positive outcomes have been demonstrated, especially by algae. Thus, phycoremediation has arisen as an alternative, green method of solving this issue. Green algae were isolated from Kolavai lake and then cultivated in Erlenmeyer flasks under room conditions. After growth, the cells were harvested by centrifugation and filtration and then dried for 24 hr at high temperatures. Powdered biomass was then added to aqueous solutions containing Chromium at different concentrations with a fixed dosage. Results showed that 30ppm was favored for Cr3+ uptake by biosorbent. Next, the effect of pH was studied on adsorption rate. Results indicated that as the pHincreased, the Cr3+ uptake was found to have decreased, thus confirming low pH favors Cr3+ sorption. AAS results had indicated that biosorbent was effective in Cr3+ even at low concentrations and thus provided a possible alternative to conventional techniques
