Sandip University is a private university and UGC recognised, located in Nashik, Maharashtra, India. The university was established In 2017 what was formerly a campus in Sijoul, Madhubani district, Bihar, became a separate private university, Sandip University, Sijoul. It offers various undergraduate and postgraduate courses.The University has a world-class infrastructure with a vast 250+ acres Wi-Fi enabled campus, 24*7 security facilities. The campus has modern library housing more than 1,00,000 books, computers and spacious seating arrangements. Other on-campus facilities include transport, hygienic canteens, travel, saloon, gymnasium, swimming-pool, ambulance facilities, to name a few. Students' welfare is boosted by 21 SUN (Sandip University, Nashik) Clubs that are created “For the Students & By the Students”..
Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were synthesized via a sol-gel route and deposited onto glass substrates using the spin-coating technique to explore their hydrogen gas sensing characteristics. The prepared films were subjected to post-annealing at 450 degrees C, 550 degrees C, 650 degrees C, and 750 degrees C to investigate the influence of thermal treatment on their structural, morphological, and functional behavior. A series of analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy, were employed to characterize the films. The results confirmed the formation of single-phase ZnO with a hexagonal wurtzite structure and excellent crystallinity. The crystallite size increased steadily from 61.92 nm to 73.65 nm with rising annealing temperature, while SEM micrographs revealed enhanced grain compactness and surface uniformity with a reduction in particle size from 150 nm to 90 nm. Among all the samples, the ZnO thin film annealed at 550 degrees C exhibited the highest hydrogen gas response of about 96% for 500 ppm H2 at room temperature, demonstrating rapid response (approximate to 60 s) and recovery (approximate to 90 s) times, along with stable repeatability. The superior sensing capability is primarily ascribed to the efficient interaction between hydrogen molecules and surfaceadsorbed oxygen species (O-, O2-), facilitated by oxygen vacancies and lattice imperfections that promote enhanced gas adsorption and reaction kinetics. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the sol-gel-assisted spincoating method is a simple, cost-effective, and reliable approach for fabricating ZnO thin films with excellent structural quality and promising hydrogen sensing performance.
Information and communication technology (ICT) has had a significant impact on modern education, particularly in terms of improving pupils' reading skills. This paper examines how vocabulary, reading comprehension, and engagement might be improved by ICT resources such as e-books, digital libraries, learning management systems, and interactive apps. The study uses a qualitative research design and secondary data from academic sources and peer-reviewed journals. The findings demonstrate that ICT promotes personalized and interactive reading experiences, which increases students' interest and comprehension. However, there are still problems like insufficient digital literacy, unequal access, and digital distraction. The researcher has made an attempt to explore how ICT has impact on reading skills among the Diploma students
A high-risk pregnancy is any pregnancy in which there are or are anticipated to be complications in the health of the mother or fetus. Pregnancy incorporates the prepare of fertilization, implantation, birth and conveyance of human descendant. Pregnancy is a normal prepare that in most cases continues without complications. A littler number of pregnancies are gone with by complications during pregnancy. We live in a period of energetic alter, where the quickening pace of data accumulation touches all angles of our lives [1]. No place is this speeding up of information more energetic or more basic than in pharmaceutical. Obstetrics has seen uncommon changes in hone with colossal picks up in atomic hereditary qualities, imaging, and evidence-based administration of both common and unprecedented conditions. And in spite of the securing of these effective instruments, we live at a time of rising maternal mortality and dismalness, rising rates of preterm birth, an inveterate opioid emergency, serial viral pandemics, and the expanding politicization of obstetrical hone. In expansion, the trade of medication develops ever more complex, and the sum of non-value-added work is quickening. All this postures genuine challenges for the active clinician and are the fixings of proficient burnout.
This study investigates the bond and durability performance of Bambusa tulda bamboo reinforcement embedded in M35-grade self-compacting concrete (SCC) with different epoxy-based surface treatments. The experimental program included pull-out, load–displacement, water absorption, and wet–dry cyclic tests, along with an evaluation of cost efficiency and CO2 emissions to assess overall sustainability. Bamboo specimens were prepared in cylindrical SCC molds, with each culm cut into four equal segments for consistent testing. Surface modifications included untreated, epoxy-coated, and epoxy + sand-coated conditions using ExaPhen, True Grip BT, and Sikadur 32 Gel resins. Results revealed that surface treatment significantly enhanced the bond performance of bamboo reinforcement. The untreated bamboo exhibited an average bond stress of 0.52 MPa, failing primarily by bond slip. Epoxy coatings improved adhesion, yielding 0.83 MPa for ExaPhen and 0.72 MPa for True Grip BT. The addition of sand further increased bond stress to 1.03 MPa for ExaPhen + Sand and 0.94 MPa for True Grip + Sand, owing to greater surface roughness and mechanical interlocking. Sikadur 32 + Sand achieved the highest bamboo bond strength of 1.06 MPa, while the steel control specimen recorded 6.47 MPa. The findings confirm that combining chemical adhesion from epoxy resins with physical interlocking from sand coatings markedly improves bond efficiency, durability, and load transfer in bamboo-reinforced SCC. The integration of ExaPhen + Sand and Sikadur 32 + Sand systems offers a practical, low-cost, and low-carbon alternative to steel reinforcement, promoting the sustainable use of bamboo in structural concrete applications.
