A review on the role of packaging: materials and methods involved in the process of food preservation
Food packaging is an essential part of the food processing industry. It surrounds, enhances, and helps in the protection of the food product from processing till it reaches the consumer. The packaging sector currently represents 2% of the gross national product in developed countries. Efficient food packaging methods such as vacuum, modified atmosphere, and active packaging helps in preventing deterioration. Oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide absorbers, moisture-controlling agents prevent oxidative reactions and excess moisture in the food and extend the shelf life of the product. The choice of packaging material such as glass, plastic, paper, cardboard, and metals will determine changes that occur in food products and the degree of protection depends on water vapor and oxygen transmission rates. It is necessary to test the packaging materials with respect to thickness, grease resistance, gas transmission rate to ensure the safety and efficacy of the product. In order to safeguard the interest of consumer; the government has introduced packaging laws and guidelines such as PFA Act (1954) that is to be followed by food processing industries. The historical development of packaging has led to the discovery of novel packaging methods which help in long time preservation of food products. Novel packaging systems include the use of IOSP, TTI, and antimicrobial packaging uses sensors to detect and inform the stakeholders about spoilage or temperature-time-based changes in the food products in order to implement necessary action. Additional efforts are essential for promoting environmental sustainability, and to overcome problems like the high costs associated with these packaging methods.

Thermal analysis of ventilated and drilled disc brake
In the recent automotive industry, a braking system is considered to be very important in terms of the safety of the driver. FEA is a basic simulation of a physical component and is used for performing mechanical analysis. FEA is very essential before the production of any component of a vehicle. In this paper, a ventilated and drilled type of disc brake is taken as the component which has been thermally analyzed. This thermal analysis is done with the use of Ansys Workbench 2020 R1 and the component is modeled using the SolidWorks software. In this paper, a brief idea about the effect of different meshing sizes as well as the type of meshing using finite element analysis is considered and consequently, the thermal analysis of the same has been calculated. The results obtained illustrate the effect of the difference in mesh size and the type and how it plays an important role in the analysis of any component.

Assessing provision of social amenity sites in peri-urban Bangalore
The study examines the provision of sites for public semi-public use in residential districts which are emerging as city extensions in the peri-urban. The dynamic nature of the peri-urban is incorporated in the methodology of the study where some portions of land are parcelled for urban uses while some parts retain the rural fabric. The existing provision is evaluated with respect to URDPFI Guidelines to assess the level of provision. The number of plots and the area of the plots is considered as criteria to assess the provision. Thematic analysis is conducted for various categories of plots identified. This study examines the adequacy of the provision in the context of the method adopted by the local authorities for the transformation of agricultural land into urban residential land parcels. The complexities of identifying land for public semi-public use in the peri-urban context are discussed.

Effect of mesh parameters on spring damper assembly
Finite Element Analysis is a method to predict how a model will react to real-world forces and other physical effects. It shows whether the product will break, wear out or work the way it was designed. The spring damper assembly is a part of the suspension system which is cylindrical in shape. The spring permits the wheels to rise up to absorb jolts in the road. While dampers avert bouncing of the vehicle. This reduces the jolting of the vehicle various mechanical links keep the wheel in line. The spring damper assembly is modeled in CREO and analyzed in ANSYS. Results of ANSYS shows how different meshing method can affect the final results which include stress, strain, and deformation

Management of Haemangioma with Ksharasutra- A case study
A Haemangioma is a developmental malformation of blood vessels and not a typical tumor. So it is considered to be an example of ‘Hemartoma’. Such theory can be explained by the fact that 1)Haemangioma is often present since birth and 2)it never turns malignant. In Ayurveda Haemangioma can be compared with rakija granthi. The diagnosis is based on clinical examination and usually straightforward by visual inspection. The treatment of Haemangioma has to be done with endurance and careful selection of procedure according to the type and size of the disease; otherwise, it may lead to cosmetic derangement or recurrence of the ailment. Indications for treatment include pain, interference with function, cosmetic embarrassment. Regarding the management of this disease, different types of treatment procedures are explained in contemporary science. In Ayurveda also, various treatment principles explained like the administration of drugs internally, external application of drugs, and para surgical procedures [i.e. Raktamokshana (bloodletting), Ksharakarma (chemical cauterization), Ksharasutra (medicated thread ligation), and Agnikarma (thermal cauterization)]. These indigenous treatment methods are minimally invasive procedures that do not cause scar formation, no recurrence, and found to be more beneficial in the treatment of Haemangioma. .this case study will reveal the management of haemangioma through Maharashtra along with internal medications. A female patient of age 24 years complained of small swelling on the left breast. . Patient was the diagnosed case of haemangioma. After required investigations and local examination of swelling, the patient was planned and treated( Ksharasutra, Jatyadi tail) Ayurvedic formulations as described in texts of Ayurveda.

Impact of mesh size on UV joint and flange coupling in static structural analysis
The finite element analysis, mesh size plays a very important role in determining the accuracy of the result. This paper gives an idea about the effect of mesh size on the result. On the basis of the results obtained one can get an idea regarding, choosing the appropriate mesh size during analysis. Static analysis is performed in Ansys software. The models under consideration are UV joint and Flange coupling assembly (both separate) which are made in Solidworks
