The earth-abundant chalcogenides materials have shown a good presence in photovoltaic devices, but limited investigations are in the area of photocatalytic and water splitting toward the production of hydrogen. The Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS) has lesser change to form bimetallic phases &#...

Hydrogen has proven alternative fuel in terms of clean energy due to its zero-carbon emission, and the only by-product is water vapor when we use hydrogen as a fuel. Hydrogen has widespread applications, but its lack of safe and efficient onboard storage &#...

2,1,3-Benzothiadiazole (BTD) is a strong electron withdrawing unit, widely employed in organic electronics due to its strong electron affinity (EA) and high reduction potential. BTD is a fused bicyclic-heteroarene in which benzene ring is connected with diazole based five-memb...

The diesel engine efficiency can be improved by extracting the waste heat from engine exhaust and coolant. Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology, as a bottoming technique, is efficient for waste heat recovery from low-temperature sources. The engine-ORC system's optimization&#x...

Understanding the evolutionary picture of the Universe starting from high-z Uni verse (epoch of reionization, EoR: z & 6) to the present day (post-EoR era: z . 6) through the hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen (Hi) is one of the main goal of current and&#...

Present thesis reports the theoretical investigations pertaining to the heat transfer characteristics of phase change materials (PCMs) during melting/solidification incorporating volumetric expansion and shrinkage void in the thermal energy system. The objective of the present stu...

The Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) model is a favourable solution to predict text corresponding to the spoken words utilising both audio and face videos, specifically when the audio is corrupted by noise. These models have been widely used in applications like biome...

The present study was focused on establishing an in-depth understanding of the pack-boronizing (a thermo-chemical heat treatment) behaviour of industrially employed low alloy steels (AISI EN41B and AISI 4140). Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray &#x...

An easy and affordable access to financial products and services through financial inclusion is an imperative policy instrument to reduce poverty, inequality and improve basic livelihood or human development (Kapoor, 2014). The accessibility of basic financial services...

Gastric cancer (GC) ranks fifth as the most common cancer and the second leading cause of death in the world. There are approximately more than 1,000,000 newly diagnosed cases and 738,000 deaths every year due to GC. It has been estimated that 17.8&#x...

Multicomponent high entropy alloys (HEAs) have been attracting attention worldwide and constitute an active, frontier area of research in the exploration of novel materials development. The current study focuses on design and development of a single-phase Fe25Co25Ni25Cr20V5 FCC �...

High blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension (HT) is a medical condition with a persistent elevation of the blood pressure in arteries. Hypertension is a serious medical concern that can anticipate the risk factors for various fatal diseases, such as cardiac arres...

There are certain losses associated with the single junction solar cell such as, thermalization loss, transmission loss, recombination loss and blackbody radiation loss, most of which can be minimized by using multiple energy bands technologies, i.e. multiple quantum wel...

As the use of renewable energy sources like solar PV and Wind Power in the power system is increasing and becoming dominant, the inertia of the power system is tending to reduce. The reason is that the renewable energy sources (wind and solar) have very...
