Prediction of Attention/deficient and Hyperactivity disorder in Online learning
No full textThe rise of online learning poses challenges in identifying and supporting students with cognitive disorders, notably ADHD. This neurodevelopmental disorder, diagnosed in childhood, impacts academic performance. With the prevalence of online education, early detection and intervention for ADHD are crucial. Predictive techniques using digital traces, behavioral patterns, and physiological data during online sessions are studied. Machine and deep learning models, including supervised and unsupervised approaches, identify ADHD-related behaviors. Natural language processing analyzes textual interactions for signs of inattention or hyperactivity. Eye-tracking and physiological sensors reveal attention levels during online activities. Though offline classrooms allow direct interaction, these techniques enable timely interventions, enhancing ADHD students' experiences in the digital learning era. Further research to refine and address challenges will contribute to a more inclusive and effective online learning environment
Heat transfer through a condensate droplet on hydrophobic and nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces
Get PDFUnderstanding the fundamental mechanisms governing vapor condensation on non-wetting surfaces is crucial to a wide range of energy and water applications. In this thesis, we reconcile classical droplet growth modeling barriers by utilizing two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical simulations to study individual droplet heat transfer on non-wetting surfaces (90° < θ_a < 170°). Incorporation of an appropriate convective boundary condition at the liquid vapor interface reveals that the majority of heat transfer occurs at the three phase contact line, where the local heat flux can be up to 4 orders of magnitude higher than at the droplet top. Droplet distribution theory is incorporated to show that previous modeling approaches under predict the overall heat transfer by as much as 300% for dropwise and jumping-droplet condensation. To verify our simulation results, we study condensed water droplet growth using optical and ESEM microscopy on bi-philic samples consisting of hydrophobic and nanostructured superhydrophobic regions, showing excellent agreement with the simulations for both constant base area and constant contact angle growth regimes. Our results demonstrate the importance of resolving local heat transfer effects for the fundamental understanding and high fidelity modeling of phase change heat transfer on non-wetting surfaces.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Shreyas Chavan, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-25 at 17:05.The student, Shreyas Chavan, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-25 at 17:16.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-27 at 09:11.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9489 on 2016-07-07 at 13:50:52Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T20:35:15Z (GMT).

Phase change phenomena on water repelling and biphilic surfaces
Get PDFThis Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-04-10 at 09:54.Water-repelling surfaces have been studied for many decades. Hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces are beneficial in phase change heat transfer applications, specifically during condensation because of the enhanced heat transfer and during freezing because of the anti-freezing properties. The current study is focused on enhanced phase change phenomena on superhydrophobic and biphilic surfaces. Hydrophobic surfaces that enable dropwise condensation exhibit 5-10X higher heat transfer. Coalescence induced droplet jumping on superhydrophobic surfaces further increases the heat transfer by 30%. Here, biphilic surfaces consisting of hydrophilic spots on a superhydrophobic background are studied for enhanced condensation. Water droplets nucleating at the hydrophilic spots grow to sizes defined by the biphilic geometry, followed by coalescence and departure. A high fidelity model that captures departure dynamics during droplet jumping on biphilic surfaces and predict the overall condensation heat transfer has been developed. By controlling the spatial geometry and length scale of the hydrophilic spots, enhanced (10X) jumping-droplet condensation heat transfer is obtained.
In terms of freezing and frost formation, understanding the mechanisms of frost formation is essential to a variety of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) applications. When water vapor in the ambient condenses on a chilled substrate in the form of liquid water and then freezes, it is known as condensation frosting. The dominant mechanism governing the spread of condensation frosting is inter-droplet ice bridge frost wave propagation. When a subcooled condensate water droplet freezes on a hydrophobic or superhydrophobic surface, neighboring droplets still in the liquid phase begin to evaporate. The evaporated water molecules deposit on the frozen droplet and initiate the growth of ice bridges directed toward the water droplets being depleted. Neighboring liquid droplets freeze as soon as the ice bridge connects. In this study, the significance of individual droplet freezing on frost wave propagation is studied. 10X slower frost wave propagation speeds on superhydrophobic surfaces are observed. Furthermore, at larger length scales, during bulk freezing of water, it has been shown that superhydrophobic surfaces offer no delay in freezing.
Although frosting delay has been shown with superhydrophobic surfaces, complete elimination of frosting has not been achieved. Given enough time, frosting will initiate and spread to cover the entire surface. In the HVAC&R sectors, the most common approach to remove frost from a surface (defrost) is to reverse the system cycle direction and heat the working fluid. However, water retention on the heat exchanger surface during defrosting decreases the long term heat transfer performance. In this study, the defrosting behavior of superhydrophobic and biphilic surfaces comprising of spatially distinct superhydrophobic and hydrophilic domains is used to accelerate defrosting. During defrosting, biphilic surfaces are shown to exhibit enhanced surface cleaning with no water retention. Furthermore, an ultra-efficient method to defrost a surface covered with ice/frost by focusing energy at the substrate-ice interface is studied. To remove ice/frost efficiently, only the interfacial layer adhering the ice/frost to the solid surface is melted by using a localized ‘pulse’ of heat, allowing gravity or gas shear in conjunction with the ultra-thin lubricating melt water layer to remove the ice/frost. A high fidelity numerical model is developed to simulate pulse defrosting. This work not only provides a fundamental understanding of phase change processes on superhydrophobic and biphilic surfaces, but also elucidates its applications for a plethora of energy industries.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Shreyas Chavan, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-09 at 16:13.The student, Shreyas Chavan, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-04-09 at 16:16.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13540 on 2019-08-22 at 16:20:55Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:44:41Z (GMT).

A review article on Katrigraha vis-à-vis Mechanical low back pain and its management through Ayurveda
Get PDFIn the present society, all age group people experience back pain, which is brought on by an unhealthy food and way of life. In Ayurveda, this ailment is compared to Katigraha, one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. It is a condition where pain and stiffness are brought on by Shuddha Vata or Sama Vata, which are concentrated in Kati Pradesha. Modern science says that actions like lifting heavy objects, bending, having poor posture, being sedentary, etc. cause Mechanical low back pain. It is usually limited to the lumbosacral region, buttock, or thigh and doesn\u27t go past the knees. Modern medical treatments for low back pain have their own disadvantages and weren\u27t effective over the long term. The Ayurvedic Chikitsa Sutra of Katigraha includes a description of Snehana, Swedana, Shamana, and Conventional Rasayana in addition to a healthy food and way of life. The breadth of Ayurvedic treatment for Katigraha shall be the main topic of the current paper
Antimicrobial resistance in foodborne pathogens: consequences for public health and future approaches
No full textAbstract Foodborne pathogen-associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health concern, complicating infection control and placing another strain on medical resources. The misuse and overuse use of antibiotics in human healthcare and agricultural systems, with a focus on intensive animal farming techniques, is the main cause of the spread of AMR. Salmonella, Campylobacter, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes are among the bacteria that are becoming more resistant to conventional antibiotic treatments, making treatment more difficult. Longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and an increase in death rates are the results of this. Particularly vulnerable groups, such as youngsters, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems, show greater susceptibility. The consequences of AMR in foodborne pathogens extend beyond individual health, posing significant risks to food security and safety. Realizing that foodborne pathogens can be passed through contaminated food, water, and environmental resources, the chance for AMR to spread is considerable. Contemporary strategies aimed at mitigating AMR emphasize the enhancement of surveillance mechanisms, the fortification of regulations governing antibiotic usage in agricultural contexts, and the advocacy for the advancement of alternative therapeutic modalities, such as bacteriophage therapy and antimicrobial peptides. Still, notable deficiencies in our comprehension endure, particularly about the precise impact of foodborne pathogens on the overall AMR challenge. This review highlights the challenges posed by AMR in foodborne pathogens, examines its implications for public health, and investigates prospective avenues for research and policy measures to mitigate this growing danger. However, there remain plenty of unresolved issues about how exactly foodborne bacteria contribute to the overall AMR problem, which calls for more study into practical mitigation techniques and potential future policy interventions.

Subdued Voices: Women Characters and Their Author in Inside the Haveli
No full textRama Mehta is an eminent novelist who contributed significantly to Indian English fiction by bringing female issues to the fore through her exemplary novel, Inside the Haveli. The novel shows a predominant concern with the subjugating condition of women characters shackled in the Indian patriarchal structure and brings, particularly, into light the repressed state of female characters and the elements that determine their submission. Simultaneously, based on the incident, the novel reveals silence and submission on the part of the novelist as well. Nevertheless, the work seems stifled when dealing with women's issues; its movements are confusing, contradicting and oscillating. The characters and their author appear tense under pressure showing a disinclination to adopt a bold stance. This cramped and oscillating situation speaks of their helplessness and repressed situation
