Explorations on the Sierpinski Gasket Graph
No full textIn [6] the author describes the general properties of fractals and elaborates on the construction of a specific well-known fractal, the Sierpinski Triangle. The article delves into how pre-service teachers can explore various attributes of the fractal, such as the number of shaded triangles and shaded area at each stage. In this article we link the Sierpinski triangle (also known as the Sierpinski Gasket) to graph theory. We illustrate how the Sierpinski Gasket is related to the Sierpinski Gasket graph and explore Eulerian and Hamiltonian cycles in the graph using the CAS Mathematica
Zeller’s Congruence
No full textZeller’s Congruence is a method designed to find the day of the week corresponding to any given date in the Gregorian calendar. It was first discovered and proposed by Julius Christian Johannes Zeller, a German mathematician, and published in the journal of the Societe Mathematique de France
Accommodating Face Mask for Those with Hearing Impairments:
No full textAs COVID-19 continues to spread in our society, wearing face masks have become an integral part of daily life. For users with disabilities, specifically those with hearing impairments, the utilization of face masks creates additional problems. The obstruction of facial and visual expressions from mask wearing poses an increased difficulty in communicating with individuals when lip reading is not accessible; additionally, the elastic straps that hold the mask in place can become entangled or dislodge hearing aids, creating more discomfort for the users. Further, blocking a majority of the face from view makes it harder to see critical vital and life-threatening signs of potential seizures and strokes. While there are some current solutions, many are highly specific, while others are expensive and inefficient. Therefore, this project aims to develop a mask that can alleviate these issues at a more accessible, sustainable, and cost level. The physical and chemical properties of various materials, including hydrophobicity, wettability, and skin biocompatibility, will be evaluated to validate the design. We propose an improved 3-layer mask system with a small clear window through each layer to promote visualization of the mouth and support proper filtration of air flow. A nose pinch will be incorporated to diminish fogging of glasses, as well as a redesigned head strap that repositions the straps away from the ears will prevent the accidental displacement of hearing aids
Carbon-dioxide degassing of geothermal fluids: Experimental Research using core-floods and CT scanning
No full textGlobal energy transition is crucial in mitigating climate change. Numerous initiatives are being taken globally to achieve a carbon-neutral energy system. These goals require a complete shift from non-renewable energy sources to renewable sources like geothermal energy. These renewable sources of energy have to be constantly improved in order to maximise their efficiency and to ensure the cleanest possible source of energy. One of the challenges in geothermal energy is degassing of geothermal fluids. These fluids contain a lot of minerals and chemicals dissolved in them that are at equilibrium at a certain pressure and temperature. When there is change in this pressure and temperature during extraction, the equilibrium condition changes and the gases dissolved in the fluids degas. These gases then get trapped in pores and decrease the efficiency of extraction of these fluids. They might also prove harmful to the environment due to release of greenhouse gases from the geothermal fluids. The aim of this experimental research project is to visualise the degassing of geothermal fluids and understand the conditions and affect of degassing on the core.The experiments were carried out by injecting either tap water or brine at a set flow rate of 15ml/min and different concentrations of 𝐶𝑂2. Each experiment had a specific concentration of 𝐶𝑂2 which was injected simultaneously with brine at a certain back-pressure. Then the back-pressure was lowered gradually and when the fluid de-gassed it was allowed to reach steady state and a scan of the core was taken. Throughout the experiments pressure measurements were taken along the core.Geoscience and Engineerin
Re-Defining The Role Of Indian Legislature In Regulating Consensual Sex Between Minors
No full textThe role of legislator is not simply confined to making laws, but they also play a significant role in development of society as a whole as they escalate or attenuate this process of development by the quality of laws they make. The age of consent laws made by the legislator are one set of laws that are working in contradiction of the aims and objectives for which they were enacted and are rather being criticized. The term „age of consent‟ is itself controversial and it has been suggested what is created is an „age of liability‟ for the offender rather than an age of consent.1It has been argued that „age of consent‟ is an establishment of age at which the law of a country decides that a child is allowed to have sexual intercourse and it has very less to do with consent. Much of the behaviour caught within the web of Rape of a child between 16-18 years of age involves the cases of consensual sexual intercourse, thus involving the adolescent youth of the country who are being prosecuted. This necessitates the need to stop this never-ending web of accusations against the boys who are being prosecuted for having sexual intercourse notwithstanding the involvement and consent of the girl to the fullest. The paper is shared out in four sections. In the first section, the author delves into the theme of statutory rape law and POCSO Act to critically analyse its utility in protecting children from consensual sexual acts. In the second section, the author attempts to examine the legislative intent behind setting such a higher age of consent from a historical perspective and brings to the surface a critique of legislative intent and acts. In the third section, based on a critique of traditional ideology and dearth in approbation of principles of criminalization, the author explains the need of decriminalizing consensual sexual acts among adolescents (between 16 to 18 years of age). In fourth section, the author attempts to conclude by quoting suggestions to frame the best practice paradigm to implementing Statutory Rape law in Indian Legal System
