 Abstract

This study investigates the influence of lubricant viscosity on the vibration behavior of rolling element bearings through a controlled experimental analysis. Using a custom-built test rig, cylindrical roller bearings (NJ306 ECJ) were subjected to three lubricant grades (NLGI 1, NLGI 2, and NLGI 3), three loads (3 kg, 6 kg, and 9 kg), and three rotational speeds (300 rpm, 600 rpm, and 900 rpm). Vibration responses were measured using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analyzer to quantify frequency spectra and amplitudes. Results indicate that NLGI 2 grease consistently exhibited the lowest vibration amplitudes across all conditions, demonstrating superior damping and stability compared to NLGI 1 and NLGI 3. Higher viscosity (NLGI 3) led to increased vibration due to inadequate penetration, while lower viscosity (NLGI 1) showed limitations under high loads and speeds. These findings highlight the critical role of optimal lubricant viscosity in minimizing vibration and enhancing bearing longevity, offering practical insights for machinery design and maintenance. The study contributes to tribology by providing empirical evidence to guide lubricant selection in industrial applications

 Abstract

Around the world, nanotechnology is being promoted as a technological revolution that will help resolve an array of problems. According to the current hype, nanotechnology promises to provide new ways of solving some of Africa's chronic challenges such as treating tuberculosis and malaria, making water drinkable, conserving food, and diversifying energy sources, among other hosts of applications. However, the potential risks and social implications of this new technology are not often discussed nor addressed. The overall level of awareness and capacity to address these issues remains very low, in both civil society and government, and prevents these actors from playing their social role in ensuring the public good. Research on nanotechnology, and increased commercialization of products containing engineered nanomaterials (generally called nano products), are currently happening in Africa (e.g., in South Africa, Sudan, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Algeria). In several African countries, nanotechnology has been declared a strategic sector of scientific and technological development. In addition, graduate courses on nanotechnology have been initiated in some countries, such as South Africa, Egypt, and Algeria. Even though potential health and environmental risks of engineered nano- materials are scientifically documented and numerous uncertainties remain, the public funds dedicated to evaluating these risks are extremely low. As a consequence, the current policy in regards to this technology is far from precautionary as the products enter the market unregulated and unlabeled, neither guaranteeing the safety of the product, nor the information to the consumer. The Present review paper highlighted sustainable development Socio economic transformation through Nano Science technology various issues and challenges at global level policy framework

 Abstract

The increasing volume of organic waste in urban areas necessitates an intelligent waste management system to enhance efficiency and sustainability. This study examines the logistic framework of organic waste management using smart dustbins integrated with IoT, AI-driven waste classification, and automated collection strategies. By leveraging sensor technology, real-time data analytics, and optimized waste transport, smart dustbins can revolutionize traditional waste disposal methods. Smart dustbins monitor waste levels, segregate biodegradable materials, and transmit data to waste collection units, enabling predictive waste collection scheduling and fuel-efficient route planning. The research underscores the importance of public-private collaboration, smart city integration, and sustainable policy frameworks to promote efficient organic waste logistics. By combining automation, data intelligence, and circular economy principles, smart waste management systems can minimize carbon footprints and foster eco-friendly urban environments. Proper waste management is essential for environmental sustainability. This study examines the municipal solid waste management and disposal methods in Yavatmal district, Maharashtra, India, analyzing waste composition, characteristics, and associated environmental concerns. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaires from randomly selected populations in areas with significant waste findings reveal that both designated and non-designated waste dumps remain unattended for prolonged periods, leading to road encroachments, pollution, and aesthetic degradation of the metropolis Findings reveal that both designated and non-designated waste dumps remain unattended for prolonged periods, leading to road Encroachments, pollution, and aesthetic degradation of the metropolis.

 Abstract

In the digital age, the evolution of marketing strategies has significantly influenced consumer behaviour, fostering a phenomenon known as `a cycle of continuous and often impulsive online purchasing`. The present study explores the factors contributing to spiral consumption among IT professionals in Infopark, Kochi, Kerala, with a specific focus on the influence of digital marketing. Based on the data collected from 63 IT professionals through purposive sampling, the research employs Exploratory Factor Analysis, Correlation Analysis, and Multiple Regression to identify and analyse psychological, technological, economic, social, and personal factors impacting spiral consumption. The findings reveal a significant correlation between spiral consumption and continuous consumption cycles, with digital marketing elements such as personalised ads, social media influence, and convenience playing key roles. The study points the need for ethical digital marketing practices and enhanced consumer awareness to mitigate the financial and psychological risks associated with uncontrolled online consumption.

 Abstract

Human resource plans depend much on employee welfare measures since they significantly increase job satisfaction and performance. This paper looks at how statutory and non-statutory welfare policies affect employee performance and satisfaction as well as their connection inside the pharmaceutical sector. The study gathers main data from workers at several hierarchical levels using a descriptive and analytical research approach by use of structured questionnaires. Convenient sampling is applied to determine 200 is the sample size confined to Hyderabad city of Telangana State chosen to guarantee statistical relevance. Using correlation and regression methods, data analysis looks at how welfare policies affect employee outcomes. The results show that employee performance and satisfaction are much influenced by legislative welfare programs including paid leave legislation, health benefits, and safety rules. Likewise, non-statutory actions include leisure time pursuits, professional development initiatives, and flexible work schedules improve performance and satisfaction. The study also shows a clear relationship between employee performance and satisfaction, implying that greater organizational results could follow from stronger welfare policies.

 Abstract

Under nutrition is a difficult undertaking, especially in Africa and Asia, where it affects hundreds of millions of pregnant women and school-aged children. As a result of their use of carbohydrate-rich yet dietary plant-based meals, impoverished folks are far more vulnerable to nutrient problems and mental deprivation. The availability of genomic sequences across multiple crops, and also advances in genetic manipulation tools, has created an opportunity to propagate for nearly any desirable characteristic. Bio-fortification has lately emerged as a self-targeting method as well as a non-recurring reaction to dietary deficits. Most traditional breeding procedures were restricted due to a lack of genetic variation in traversable genetic traits. Furthermore, it appears to lack the reduction of expression of genes that is required for nutritional retention. Bio-fortification genetically based is a viable strategy to tackle hidden shortages of food, especially in areas where propagation isn't really successful due to a shortage of phenotypic variation. When compared to other tactics, genetic manipulation is indeed a clear and precise way of developing improved nutritional cultivars without repeatedly engaging. This review emphasizes plant biotechnologists' alternatives for improving crop utilising genome engineering methods that are based on bio-fortification, which could also help to address global issues.

 Abstract

Modern cybersecurity threats require adaptive authentication systems because they continue to evolve. The traditional Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) systems implement static authentication patterns at all times, which produces security vulnerabilities while degrading user satisfaction.This paper presents Dynamic Risk Based Multi-Factor Authentication that adapts authentication based on factors like IP address, location and device patterns unlike traditional MFA, which follows same static procedure.User attempts to log in are classified as low, medium or high-risk based on a system analysis of IP address and device information and geolocation details.High-risk situations require authentication strengthening through the implementation of Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) validation [6] while the system supports varied authentication requirements according to risk categories. The system runs through Node.js as its backend platform and React.js for frontend development alongside PostgreSQL as its database solution and AES encryption with Snark.js for enhanced encryption security. The experimental evaluation shows substantial progress in securing logins through a system that cuts down extra authentication procedures for reliable users while boosting protection levels against unauthorized activities.
