Recreating the traditional Kashmiri arts in contemporary interiors with sustainability

Apart from the scenic beauty of Kashmir, it is also renowned for its carpets weaving. It is a matter of pride for India Legacy. The weaving skills have been passed down by fathers to their sons, who have built upon those and in turn, handed them down to their offspring as a closely guarded family secret. A quality Kashmiri new carpet must be handmade or maybe palm knotted by 100% pure made of wool or maybe 100 % pure man-made fiber. This handicraft is unique in terms of design, cost, and quality of products. The study focuses on contemporary challenges and thereby providing suitable suggestions in order to make this handicraft more sustainable in the future. This craft is expensive, time taking, and required skilled weavers to do it. The motifs, patterns, and colors used in this art are unique apart from the weaving patterns. In the contemporary world this art cannot be applicable in its original form at every interior space. So, recreating carpets, wallpapers, fabrics used in furnishing of interiors with the motif patterns, and colors used in this could make this art sustainable. This can be the best way to add the history and memory of ancient people.

Natural materials used for an eco-friendly interiors-jute crafts

India has large resources of natural fibers such as Banana, Sisal, Korai grass, Talipot, Palm leaf, Coconut, Pineapple, Golden grass, Jute, and Sabai among others. In the past, trade of the village folK depended on harvesting fibers grown in their villages. They spun or twisted yarn into ropes and sold them in villages or town markets. However with time, the emphasis was shifted to cotton and then during the post-independent era, silk and -jute became the new wonder fibers. jute is long, soft, and shiny it is one of nature’s strongest vegetable fibers. The fibers are also woven into curtains, chair coverings, carpets, area rugs, hessian cloth, and backing for linoleum. The main objective is to make jute fiber from natural materials. To make jute roped room dividers, doors, and windows with supporting cane. Cane boxes were custom built with evenly spaced rope sized holes drilled through the top and bottom. Precut sections of rope were strung through the top and tied off at the bottom, allowing for the interior knot to hold the rope in place and taut. Jute rope can be the key to the design. Most of the women who belong to the socio-economically backward sections of the society are engaged in natural fiber weaving to produce objects for daily use. It is one of the cheapest and the strongest of all-natural fibers and is considered as fiber of the future. It has no adverse effect on the human body and Mother Nature as a whole.

Evaluation on predictive analysis of rain disaster using Adaptive Neural Turing Networks

The research is mainly focused on the evaluation parameters of the Machine learning algorithm Adaptive Neural Turing net-works which have been developed for the prediction of Rainfall based Disasters. Based on the Previous Research it's observed that the Neural Turing networks have been performing the prediction of the rainfall-based disasters for the consecutive years of 10,15 and 20 with 93.8% accuracy. Here the Research is analyzed with various parameters and Comparing it with the other researches which are implemented with other machine learning algorithms

Symmetric and asymmetric mixed convection heat transfer through vertical channel with porous medium with different oxide nanofluids

The problem of mixed convection fluid flow and heat transfer flow through a porous medium, over an infinite vertical plate, is studied numerically. The effect of nanofluid properties and concentration and Prandtl numbers are considered in the present study. The governing non-linear partial differential equations of this phenomenon are transformed into a non-linear algebraic system utilizing finite difference methods. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and as well as the skin friction, heat transfer are obtained and reported in tabular form and graphically for different values of physical parameters of the problem The solutions for velocity and temperature are obtained. The effects of Grashof number, Prandtl number of a nanofluid, and porous parameter on velocity, and temperature are presented graphically.

Evaluating gaps in interdepartmental communication and assessing their relation to employee motivation: An action research study

The study examined members of the administrative staff of a leading international school in New Delhi to identify the underlying causes of gaps in interdepartmental communication and find probable solutions to overcome them. A Professional Learning Community (PLC) of 3 members was formed which undertook action research and presented the findings at the administrative staff In-Service Education and Training (INSET) in January 2020. The paper explores the factors that influence flow of communication within the workplace and how effective internal stakeholder communication is a great contributor to employee satisfaction. Outcomes suggest that the efficacy of interdepartmental communication is directly proportional to people’s understanding and appreciation of the work that other departments do, and their relationships with people and teams.

The effect of caffeine and nicotine on different plant growth

This science fair project was performed to find out the effect on plant growth of adding caffeine to the soil. This experiment was done by using Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) plants, and watering them daily with normal water, water mixed with caffeine bean and with a coffee mixture. Height of plant was measured as a daily parameter to check effect on growth. On fifteen day of germination the plant was removed to evaluate dry weight and spectrophotometric measurement for chlorophyll content. The result of the experiment found that caffeine with low amount gives best results which can be reconfirmed by height, Chlorophyll a, b, carotenoid estimation. The result indicate that mung bean grows faster in soil with caffeine. Another experiment was carried out to show that the effect of nicotine on plant growth fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum) by using cigarette and chewing tobacco. Nicotine is an addictive drug that is found mostly in cigarettes, cigar, chewing snuff. Cigarette and chewing tobacco contain thousands of chemical compounds but nicotine is a major constituent of cigarette and tobacco, kills insect pests and used in many organic insecticides to protect plants. Our study investigated the impact of pure tobacco (chewing tobacco) and cigarette on seed germination of fenugreek. We had three plants of same type and plant them in the same soil and give them same amount of water. One had just water with no nicotine making this plant the control. Second plant had pure tobacco mixed with soil, third plant had cigarette contents mixes with soil. The result showed that if we use cigarette, the plant will grow taller” as compare to the normal plant. But there was significant decrease in germination rate at pure tobacco or at high concentration of tobacco.
