Evaluation of limestone resources in parts of Palnad basin, Nalgonda district, Telangana
Palnad Basin is the storehouse of limestone which is equivalent to the Narji limestones of the Kurnool Basin. Krishna stream cut over the Palnad Basin generally is EW course and limestones uncovered on either side. Palnad Basin covers parts of Nalgonda district of Telangana and the Krishna & Guntur districts of Andhra Pradesh. The Palnad limestones are lithologically similar to the Narji limestones of the Kurnool basin (Madhusudhan Rao, 1964). (Madhusudhan Rao, 1964). They are well exposed on either side of the Krishna River to the North of river Krishna in Nalgonda, to the South of river Krishna in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, and to the East of river Krishna in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh. Nalgonda district is located in the southern part of Telangana state in India and encompasses an area of roughly 14,240 square kilometers. The district has abundant natural resources, including limestone, and quartz. The geology of Nalgonda district is diversified, with rocks ranging in age from the Archean to the Quaternary. The district is separated into four major geological units: the Archean Gneissic Complex, the Proterozoic Cuddapah Supergroup, the Mesozoic Deccan Traps, and the Recent Alluvium. Limestones display a considerable range in hue viz., purple, green, pale green, chocolate, buff, dark grey, and light grey. The limestones are fine-grained with shallow dips across the whole basin, but rolling dips are not unusual. Limestone resources evaluated in

Analyzing the potential role of Artificial Intelligence in overcoming limitations of robots in space exploration
Robotic systems are an integral part of space exploration missions. These robots can explore and navigate extraterrestrial terrain and can survive in the harsh environments of space. Autonomous navigation and mapping capabilities are just some of the components that are essential for us to efficiently traverse and gather scientific data. This research paper aims to explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in enhancing the exploration efficiency of planetary robots. The paper also discusses the limitations of robots in space exploration and outlines how AI can be used to overcome them.

Improving performance in Central Sterile Supply Department(CSSD) management through performance measurements utilizing user satisfaction surveys and intervention.
Surgical procedures leading to surgical site infections, and medical procedures associated with iatrogenic infections can be made negligible with sterilization and decontamination of instruments and medical devices The Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) is the hub in the hospital working to provide sterile instruments and packs to all areas of the hospital. The quality of services provided by the CSSD Department in AIIMS Bibinagar regarding the processing as well as the service was to be assessed by all the user departments. The questionnaire was devised after discussion and distributed to the end-user personnel. There were 19 questions addressing the timing, etiquette, equipment, damages, delays, validation as well as feedback regarding improvement. There were a total of 107 respondents of whom 87 were nursing officers and 25 were doctors from medical, surgical, obstetric, orthopedic, ENT, and ophthalmological specialties. The data collected was collated in Microsoft Excel and descriptive analysis was done. The results showed that more than 90% were satisfied with the validation process, the packing of items, the etiquette of the personnel, and the cleanliness of the equipment. Critical responses to consider for intervention included a lack of awareness regarding the indicators and the validation of the sterilization process, nearly 68% lacked knowledge of this. Further, there was dissatisfaction regarding updates and any recent innovations in the system. Only 62% were overall satisfied with the CSSD service, with 11% not sure as to what can be improved. Interventions to improve the services to address the issues raised from the feedback were created utilizing the available resources

Liver disease detection using Machine Learning techniques
Liver disease is the leading reason of death worldwide, The liver is responsible for metabolic, strength-storing, and waste-filtering functioning in your body. The aim of this study is to develop a machine learning-based technique for liver disease prediction in people. This study on liver disease detection models is meant to determine the best techniques for selecting and synthesizing the many studies of high quality. The majority of health data is nonlinear, correlation-structured, and complex, making it complex to evaluate. The use of ML-based techniques in healthcare has been ruled out. This work uses various machine learning algorithms like decision trees, Naïve Bayes, SVM, Random Forest, CatBoost, and Soft Voting Classifier on the Indian Liver patient dataset to predict liver disease. The research work gives the correct or maximum accuracy model showing that the model is able to predict liver diseases effectively. Our end result shows that the Voting classifier attains higher accuracy as compared to other machine-learning models

Electric vehicles in the Indian market
The Indian automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation with a growing emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This research paper explores the current landscape of electric vehicles in the Indian market, focusing on their adoption, challenges, and future prospects. This research paper concludes whether or not Revv (a self-drive car rental business operational all across India) should switch to EVs from traditional ICE vehicles.

Use of waste plastic to enhance the property of modified bitumen pavement
The construction of flexible pavement is most commonly done by the bituminous mix. It constitutes asphalt or bitumen acting as a binder and is mixed with aggregate which is compacted after being laid in layers. The conventional bituminous pavement with proper design and execution under usual circumstances gives satisfactory results, but often in various conditions, the performance is very low. With the increased volume of traffic, increased loads, and variation in seasonal as well as daily temperature the asphaltic concrete pavements have shown better performance. On the contrary, the performance of bituminous pavement is very low in damped conditions. On considering these factors the modification of bitumen and the addition of polymer in bitumen has been an alternative. Experiments have been conducted and inferred that the addition of polymer to binders has helped to increase the cohesive bond between the binder and aggregate which in turn has improved the characteristics of asphalt pavement to meet the growing need. The additive used to modify the mix must satisfy the essential strength as well as economic aspects. India has rapid use of plastic in its lifestyle and is increasing day by day. These are major threats to society and management is another major issue. The use of recycled material in road pavement is one of the most innovative forms of sustainability. Thin bags are mainly composed of low-density polyethylene which is used for packing, protecting, and many applications. The Low-Density Polyethylene which is one of the polymers when experimented has indicated the potential of enriching the asphalt mixture. The study aims to add a varying percentage of the polymer as an aggregate coat and to find the optimum percentage by weight of polymer to be added to the mix. A comparison is to be done between the conventional and polymer-added mix to find the difference in rheological properties between them. The prospect of the experiment is to know that the addition of polymer (mainly waste plastic) results in an improvement in the properties of the road which results in minimization of maintenance of road work which in turn is economical. It is also expected to substantially reduce the volume of environmentally hazardous plastic and environmental pollution.
