 Abstract

This study determination of the accuracy of axial forces calculations in truss members using analytical and numerical methods. The Method of Joints and Method of Sections are employed analytically, while the Finite Element Method is utilized numerically. A comparative analysis of a steel/aluminum truss case study reveals excellent agreement between the two approaches, validating the reliability of axial force calculations. The findings underscore the importance of rigorous verification procedures to ensure truss structural integrity and inform design optimization. In this project we analyzed the axial forces in member of the trusses by analytical and numerical methods. Improve the trusses design accuracy and the validate of axial forces.

Abstract This paper analyzes the intricate relationship between Mahayana Buddhism and modern world conflicts, emphasizing both theoretical insights and practical applications. While Buddhism inherently promotes compassion and nonviolence, Mahayana Buddhism provides various conceptual frameworks that have been applied to conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and humanitarian intervention in modern wartime settings. This study examines how Buddhist leaders and organizations use notions like emptiness (??nyat?), skillful means (up?ya), and the bodhisattva ideal to address modern issues. Simultaneously, the paper critically explores instances of Mahayana Buddhist teachings being perverted to justify violence in certain settings. The research contributes to understanding how religious traditions navigate the tension between ideal principles and pragmatic engagement with contemporary violent conflicts, offering insights into both the potential and limitations of Buddhist approaches to modern warfare.

 Abstract

This project allows us to use a global positioning system and a global mobile communication system to locate navigation and time information in any weather conditions and at any time. This technology, which is made up of three parts--the control unit, the space unit, and the user unit--has gained popularity for applications involving tracking, surveillance, and navigation that are sensitive to time and location. As the maritime boundary (navigation) of a nation, it is impossible to meet the requirements for civilian safety in the sea. The marine GPS navigation device and packages were a game-changer for fishermen's boats when it came to crossing maritime borders. A low-cost maritime border crossing alert system that combines the power of a marine GPS device is what the proposed system is. It continuously tracks, monitors, warns, and regulates the actions of the fishermen from the isolated shoreline station GPS and GSM technologies are used in this system. While GSM allows communication, GPS allows tracking of the boat's current location. Border security personnel notify the crew via the ship's LCD display when fishermen approach the warning border. A relay system is set up to automatically cut off the boat's power to the motor in the event that the fishermen are unable to stop it. To quickly alert fishermen to possible hazards like severe weather, storms, or navigational obstacles, implement a live warning system. Create a GPS-based navigation system that helps fishermen find the best places to fish and navigate different waterways safely. Use distress signal tools or emergency beacons to increase the likelihood of finding and saving the fishermen who were in trouble.

 Abstract

This study investigates the implementation and effectiveness of Internet of Things (IoT) based smart energy management systems in residential and commercial settings. The research explores how IoT technologies contribute to energy conservation through real-time monitoring, automated control systems, and data-driven decision making. Data was collected from 50 residential buildings and 15 commercial facilities over a 24-month period from January 2022 to December 2023. The analysis demonstrates that IoT-based energy management systems reduced overall energy consumption by an average of 23% in residential buildings and 31% in commercial facilities. The study further explores the architecture of IoT-based systems, challenges in implementation, and future directions for development in this field.

 Abstract

Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. It is primarily practiced as a route of administration for recreational drug use, as combustion releases the active substances in drugs such as nicotine and makes them available for absorption through the lungs. It can also be done as a part of rituals, to induce trances and spiritual enlightenment. The most common method of smoking today is through cigarettes, primarily industrially manufactured but also hand-rolled from loose tobacco and rolling paper. Other smoking implements include pipes, cigars, bidis, hookahs, vaporizers and bongs. The study was conducted in ITI College Sagar which was located near BTNC College. Around 800 adolescent boys were studying in this college. The researcher selected adolescent boys between the age group of 17-20 year so the researcher selected this college for study group. The researcher adopted Non probability purposive sampling technique to select the sample for this study. The pre-test was conducted by using structured questionnaire that consists of part -I Demographic data and Part- II multiple choice questions. A time limit of 30minutes was taken to each sample for pre-test. The pre test was conducted in the hall. After completion of pre-test the investigator gave introduction and followed a Structured Teaching Programme for 40- 60min by using LCD. The post-test was conducted by the investigator after a period of one week. In case of post -test level of knowledge, 8(26.6%) good level of knowledge, 22(73.4%) having average level of knowledge; and no one having poor level of knowledge. The obtained -t? value (10.71) was significant at 0.05 level with the degree of freedom 29.This indicates that , there is a significant difference between pre test and post test level of knowledge scores among adolescent boys regarding ill effects of cigarette smoking and its prevention. The mean score on level of knowledge among adolescent in pre test 12, standard deviation 2.35.In post test 17.56 mean score and 1.6 standard deviation.

 Abstract

This paper provides a detailed comparative analysis of federalism in India and the USA, focusing on their theoretical underpinnings, constitutional frameworks, and practical implications. Both nations, despite being large democracies with federal systems, have developed distinct models to manage their diversity and governance structures. Through a discussion of historical context, distribution of powers, the role of judicial review, and contemporary challenges such as fiscal autonomy and regional autonomy movements, this study highlights how federalism functions in multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic societies. The comparative approach offers insights into how different political cultures shape the federal design and the adaptation required for maintaining unity in diversity. It traces the evolution of the federal systems from ancient and colonial times in both countries and analyzes how federalism is practiced today. The study also investigates the current resolutions and debates in the federal systems of both nations, with an emphasis on how the countries navigate challenges related to governance, policy, and autonomy.

 Abstract

This study examines the convergence of fantasy and reality in children's literature, specifically Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Fablehaven, and Stardust. This study uses rhetorical analysis to investigate how authors employ literary techniques and methods to produce immersive and meaningful reading experiences that blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality. The findings show that fantasy is an effective tool for escape, contemplation, and transformation, helping readers interact with challenging themes, rethink reality, and better understand themselves and the world around them. This study adds to our understanding of the function of fantasy in children's literature. It emphasizes the importance of rhetorical analysis in determining how texts shape and reflect our perceptions of reality.
