The journal welcomes all kind of research/review/abstract papers regarding Engineering subjects including Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environmental Science, Chemical Engineering, Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Renewable Energy, Biochemistry.
Epoxy (EP) composites holding DOPO-based flame retardant (DD) and its metal complexes (Cu–DD and Zn–DD) were synthesized to improve flame retardancy. The flammability performance was measured using UL-94 and limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests. Pure EP exhibited poor flame resistance with a LOI of 18.2% and no UL-94 rating, whereas EP/Cu–DD and EP/Zn–DD attained LOI values of 29.0 and 29.4%, respectively, and V-0 ratings in UL-94 tests. SEM–EDX analysis confirmed homogeneous distribution of phosphorus, copper, and zinc within the epoxy matrix. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that t
Read MoreThis study examines the air quality pattern by studying Air Quality Index (AQI) in Bengaluru Urban, a metropolitan city in India, using the data from the year September 2022 to May 2025. AQI levels are analysed across four urban regions – North, South, East and West and across residential and industrial areas using statistical data analysis and visualization techniques. The results highlights that industrial areas have consistently exhibiting very high AQI levels than residential areas, which indicating the dominant influence of industrial activity and traffic emissions. Further zone wise an

This has called for proper formulation of timely, effective, sustainable and cheaper methods of remediating most affected sites. Bioremediation has been considered as one of the potential methods in the treatment of fluoride containing water through the natural potential of microorganisms, plants and enzymes to immobilize fluoride ions. This review offers an opportunity to discuss bioremed
Read MoreWeeding activities in rice cultivation are manual labor that requires bending, squatting, and stooping for relatively long periods of time and is performed repetitively. These conditions can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in farmers. This study aims to identify the location and level of musculoskeletal complaints in weeders using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) instrument. The study design uses a quantitative descriptive approach with a cross-sectional method. The study respondents were active rice farmers who weeded manually and were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion cr
Read MoreThis study aims to develop and optimize the iodohexane production process based on renewable biomass, is rice straw. The process was developed through three main stages: cellulose extraction, conversion of cellulose to sorbitol using MnLaFeO₃ photonanocatalytic, and conversion of sorbitol to iodohexane using two types of reactants—HI and a combination of NaI, H₂SO₄, HCOOH, and ethanol. The main control variables in the sorbitol conversion process are the type of reactant, reaction temperature, and reaction time. The experimental results showed that the use of a combination of NaI, H₂
