Replacement of Soya Bean Meal in Poultry Feed with De-Oiled Silkworm Pupa Cake obtained through Pilot-Scale Supercritical Fluid Extraction Technology

The surge in the price of soybean in the domestic and international market has led to a hunt for a potential alternative for protein sources in poultry feed. Silkworm pupa is a rich nutrient reservoir of fats, protein, minerals, essential amino acids, etc., which is underutilized for its potential nutritional applications. Despite its rich nutritional value, it is considered a waste and discarded unscientifically resulting in serious environmental concerns. Therefore, in the present study De-oiled Silkworm Pupa Cake (DOSPC) rich in protein (64.88%), obtained from defatting the discarded silkworm pupa through a pilot-scale Supercritical Fluid Extraction technology, was used as a sustainable alternative to soya bean meal in poultry feed. For the present study, 1500 numbers of broiler chicks (day old chicks) of COBB variety were selected and divided into 5 experimental groups and 10 replicates per group with 30 birds per replicate, which were fed in amounts of Control Diet comprising 100% Soyabean meal and 0% DOSPC(Group 1), Diet with 25% DOSPC and 75% Soyabean meal (Group 2), Diet with 50% DOSPC and 50% Soyabean meal (Group 3), Diet with 75% DOSPC and 25% Soyabean meal (Group 4) and Diet with 100% DOSPC and 0% Soyabean meal (Group 5). Experimental trials were conducted for 6 weeks and details of average body weight gain, feed consumption, and FCR was collected for each week. The results from this study suggested that Soyabean meal can be replaced with DOSPC up to 50% and/or 75% for optimum FCR and Body weight gain in the birds. Both groups 3 and 4 reported similar output with no significant variation. Body weight gain of 2610 g/bird was observed in the treatment group 3 compared to the control group which was 2324 g/bird, FCR of 1.36 was observed in Group 3 which was significantly better than the FCR of the control group which was 1.52. The immunological assay against Newcastle Disease (ND) and Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) revealed improved immune response in treatment groups supplemented with DOSPC in their feed. The organometry, histopathological, gut health and overall growth performance of the treatment group were on par with the control group and this suggested that replacement of Soyabean Meal with 50% and/or 75% is beneficial for poultry farming in terms of better nutritional intake for the birds and profitability for the poultry farmers.

Secure pass – safe storage and password manager based on cryptanalysis

Protecting the passwords that protect our information has become the main priority nowadays as a lot of people are trying to crack into people’s auto-saved info on various applications to track out the passwords to their different accounts which is a major cybercrime that has been seen on an increased number. So we wanted to develop a mobile application that makes sure that no third-party application can access the info saved in the app and this can only be accessed in a very particular way only the user can know. We are also trying to test out a couple of algorithms that can help us to achieve the task with the most efficiency and makes sure has the least time complexity in reacting to users' interests.

To study steps of the scientific research process

There is a diversification of approaches to research in any field of investigation, regardless of whether it is applied research or basic research. Each particular research study is unique in some ways because of the particular time, setting, situation, and environment in which it is being approached. Even so, all research venture shares a common goal of stimulating our understanding of the problem, and thus all traverse through certain basic stages, forming a process called the research process. An understanding of the research process is mandatory to effectively carry out research and sequence the stages essential in the process.

Optimization of process parameters for CNC turning on nickel alloy using PVD coated cemented tungsten carbide tool

The growing demand for products that resist environments considered severe has stimulated in the last year's series of research. They have the objective to improve the properties of materials and their processing and applications. Among the metals commonly used in extreme temperature and corrosion, there are nickel superalloys. However, the same thermal, mechanical, and metallurgical properties, which make it a material of great applicability, are also characterized as one of the metals of low machinability. Given that the market trend is increasingly using special materials such as superalloys, a detailed study about the machining of these materials is strategic and it is necessary that companies constantly seek to improve their processes. Besides that, the attention to environmentally safe processes from society and governmental regulation is growing. Therefore, this paper evaluates the economic machinability of superalloy Inconel 625 round bar on a CNC turning Lathe machine as Inconel 625 material has many industrial applications. In this work Taguchi’s DOE L9 orthogonal array was employed with the aim of simultaneously optimizing surface hardness, cutting force with tooling cost, and cutting time incorporated. Cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were chosen as process control factors.

Static structural analysis of tire model

In this work, we evaluate Tire Design and Tire Mechanics to identify the most important advancements in improving the design reliability through efficient material selection, design optimization and carrying out reliability analysis. We categorize the research into the areas of Tire Behavior and Mechanics, Design, and Surface Interaction Study. This paper aims to carry out static structural analysis of passenger car tire subjected to real road conditions. The Tire model used in the analysis is designed in Solidworks and includes primary assembly complexity by the inclusion of Carcass, Beads, and Working Belts. Analysis was performed in the Static Structural Suite of Ansys Workbench.
