Use of solar energy to improve the performance of a jaggery manufacturing unit
Jaggery is a boiled sugar cane juice used as a sweetener. Because the combustion process in the jaggery industry has an energy-intensive nature, previous literature studies have introduced various changes in processes and equipment to affect its energy efficiency. This study helps to comprehend commodity alterations and utilization in jaggery by proffering an exergy analysis. The baseline process has been modified operationally to calculate the efficiency of exergies and exergy destruction. By the amendments have respectively enhanced thermal performance and exergy efficiency by 11.2 percent and 0.8 percent. Extensive exergies were expended as excessive energy as flue gas which, due to change requests, was reduced by 11.5 percent. The data indicate that while environmental flue gas was the most apparent type of gas, exergy destruction by irreversible combustion factors caused the largest type of resource use. The study in this report increases the efficiency of energy use as well as setbacks through exergy analytical form.

Home security surveillance
Advancing technology in the field of facial recognition systems (FRS) and optical character recognition(OCR), closed-circuit television (CCTV), and automatic license plate readers could make it possible to create a system that could make the gates of society/ homes intelligent. This project examines the convergence of these technologies to design an efficient system and improve the speed and accuracy of potential burglary or break-in identification, also through facial recognition systems and optical character recognition, we aim to automate Guest Authentication and to provide another layer of protection and create a deterrent to burglary and also automate guest authentication via FRS and OCR (which will make the process safer as well as efficient)

Design and Implementation of a Vending Machine and its performance evaluation using EDA tools
In today’s world, vending machines have become an extension of the physical and online stores and are evolving as one of the largest consumption modes. Nowadays, you will be able to see them in malls, offices, stations, parks, etc. These machines are rapidly becoming a great part of one’s shopping experience. This is the reason why a lot of people are looking forward to investing in them and earning money with this very convenient business opportunity. This project aims to design a common vending machine with an additional feature (reverse vending machine) that enables a consumer to recycle the container/wrapper of the item purchased by them for which appropriate incentives are returned. It offers the person to carry out their transaction via cash/card /online payment modes. Unique QR codes/Barcodes are associated with each product to have information about the product and its cost. The reverse vending machine consists of a scanner that scans the code of the product which is inserted into the machine and completes the transaction accordingly. The vending machine is programmed using Verilog HDL and is simulated on ModelSim-Intel FPGA Edition Software. Chip planning, timing, power, and various other design and performance analysis are carried out using Intel Quartus Prime Software Suite.

Fringe area transformation of historical Satara village at Aurangabad city
Rapid Urbanization has led to the expansion of cities with changing land use and occupation. These changes have transformed the city hinterlands into Fringe areas / peri-urban settlements. In India, city fringe areas are largely neglected in policy and practices (Randhawa and Marshall, 2014) as they do not belong to any municipal limit and therefore migrants find it easy to settle in these areas. These Fringe areas face serious problems due to inadequate land-use planning and governance. The aim of the research is to study the transformation of historical settlements infringes of Aurangabad city. By detailed studying the settlement history, character and land use pattern, issues and challenges are listed. Based on these listed Issues, the paper highlights the Solutions and Guidelines for the cautious development of these Fringe areas.

Investigation of thermal properties in synthetic fiber reinforced lightweight concrete
The work investigates the basic possibilities to form a fiber reinforced lightweight concrete which posses worthy thermal insulation since on vogue. Thermal conductivity, supreme attention of thermal property that affects heat transfer in concrete by conduction. In general, achieving light weight concrete brings down the thermal conductivity and dead load of the structure. The transforms in FRLWC are primarily related to the density which is correlated to the total porosity. 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% of polypropylene fiber and glass fiber are used in order to enhance the overall concretes characteristics and in a view to restrict the initial crack propagations. Furthermore, weight and thermal conductivity possibly descended by replacing fine aggregate with several materials with low specific gravity (1% of coco-peat powder, 6% perlite, 30% of GGBS and 10% gypsum) which also enhances the workability of fresh mix. M15 grade of concrete specimens are casted and tested for its strength characteristics and thermal property and results with the above-mentioned percentages of fibers and compared for its optimum composition after validation studies. Wall panels of control mix and optimum composition (1% of glass fiber) are modeled and analyzed using the software ABAQUS 6.14-1 and its results are analogized.

Case study on measurement of productivity of WFH IT professionals
The Covid-19 crisis has opened senior leaders’ minds to the idea of adopting WFH for all or part of their workforces. In addition to TCS, companies including Twitter, Facebook, Shopify, Siemens, and State Bank of India have announced that they will make remote work permanent even after a vaccine is available. A large-scale transition from traditional, colocated work to remote work arguably began with the adoption of work-from-home (WFH) policies in the 1970s, Thanks to the advent of personal computers, the internet, email, broadband connectivity, laptops, cell phones, cloud computing, and videotelephony, the adoption of WFH increased in the 2000s. This paper attempts to Highlights to understand. To understand the condition of work from home. To measure the effectiveness of work from home. To study impact of work from home on work life balance. 52% of the employees prefer custom environment so that can they work effectively in the good environment, 48% of the respondents get satisfied by taking initiatives while they are working from home, 45% of the respondents have a great response about their work from home as they are able to spend time with their family members, 40% of the company is providing the employees their own separate work life balance policy which has been the highest satisfactory for the employees
