Natural disasters often result in significant loss of life and property. This situation calls for the development of smart and coordinated emergency response systems. To improve preparedness and response, a mobile-based Natural Disaster Response App has been created. It includes features such as geo-located disaster maps, real-time emergency alerts, guided evacuation routes, and volunteer coordination. The system uses AI-driven analytics to predict high-impact areas and optimize how resources are deployed. It also has a crisis management dashboard that monitors disaster zones in real time and supports data-driven decision-making. Community engagement tools allow people to report hazards and request help, ensuring communication flows both ways between affected individuals and response teams. Initial testing in simulated environments showed better situational awareness, quicker volunteer mobilization, and effective teamwork among government agencies, NGOs, and first responders. By combining location intelligence, AI, and real-time communication, the app aims to reduce fatalities, limit damage, and enhance resilience in areas prone to disasters.
The Hele-Shaw effect, or the viscous fingering phenomenon observed in fluid dynamics, stands as an innovative addition to the field of microfabrication, capturing a large scholarly interest. Despite the simplicity of its working principle, a detailed understanding necessitates the systematic consideration of various essential parameters. To enable a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism, an accurately designed experimental setup becomes necessary. The setup should effectively eliminate unnecessary process variables, such as sensitivity to vibrations, external forces, and uneven loading. In the course of this investigation, we implemented two distinct setups to generate viscous fingers. The key distinction between these setups lies in their respective working mechanisms. The first setup utilizes a cantilever structure with a fixed bottom plate and a moving top plate. In contrast, the second setup employs a simply supported structure with a fixed top plate and a bottom plate that is supported on all four sides. In both setups, movement is controlled using micro-motion software. Both configurations were tested under identical conditions, allowing a thorough comparative analysis of their merits and demerits. After a thorough analysis of both structural and experimental aspects, it is evident that the simply supported setup surpasses the cantilever structure in producing uniform, symmetric, and distinct fractal patterns. This research contributes valuable insights into developing the most effective and fast method for creating micro-fractals.
The rapid evolution of innovative manufacturing techniques is gradually phasing out traditional methods. This research delves into one such cutting-edge approach based on fluid shaping, leveraging Saffman-Taylor instability and the viscous fingering phenomenon by utilizing a setup known as the Lifting Plate Hele-Shaw Cell (LPHC). Through exploring the potential of this fluid dynamic behaviour, the study aims to understand the formation of net-shaped microstructures, particularly for applications in microchannel systems and microfluidics. The study underlines the significance of surface roughness on fractal growth. An analysis utilizing dimensionless numbers derived from geometric cell parameters such as fluid film thickness, surface roughness, and fluid film diameter correlated with fluid capillary number is employed to develop a deeper understanding. Six surfaces with differing roughness values ranging from 40 μm to 2.5 μm are tested alongside various separation velocities ranging from 2 mm/min to 6 mm/min in the LPHC. The research illustrates that when the surface roughness is very high, the fractal growth is driven by the geometric parameters, resulting in the fractals with shorter and wider fractals, while the fractals formed on the surfaces with very low roughness value are driven mainly due to the capillary action resulting into longer, thin and peaky fractals.
Establishing a website for a hospital is imperative. This digital presence facilitates seamless access to critical details about the hospital’s services, medical professionals, and facilities, empowering patients, and caregivers with comprehensive and up-to-date information. The incorporation of an online appointment scheduling system not only optimizes the booking process but also contributes to reducing patient wait times. In the realm of healthcare technology, this project also introduces an innovative Seizure Detection System designed for continuous monitoring of tonic–clonic seizures, with a focus on user comfort by placing a piezoelectric sensor discreetly in the palm of the hands. Integrated with ESP technology, the piezoelectric sensor captures the pressure associated with muscle contractions during the tonic–clonic stages of a seizure. A buzzer alert is triggered, providing an immediate notification to caregivers.
