Extraction, characterization and utilization of cashew nut shell liquid
The volume of cashew nutshell produced annually poses a challenge for the disposal of cashew nutshell generated during the production of the cashew nut. Therefore, the extraction of cashew nut shell liquid from cashew nutshell will reduce the waste, provide usefulness for the cashew nut shell liquid, and in turn generate revenue. The cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) was extracted using the heating method at temperatures of 400C- 800C and solvent extraction was carried out between the temperatures of 500C - 900C. The ash content was determined to be (1.00 and 1.20), the acid values of the CNSL found to be (15.4 and 13.0mgKOH/g). The toxicity test was conducted to know its efficacy on termites and the result shown that cashew nut shell liquid is a very active anti-termite

Effectiveness of self instructional module on knowledge regarding ISBAR clinical handover communication among ICU staff nurse in PESIMSR hospital at Andhra Pradesh
Communication has been praised as the foundation of all nursing care. Inaccurate shift handover and communication overload can be directly related to the patient’s adverse outcomes. Continuity of patient care is achieved through clear and concise transfer of patient clinical information from one healthcare provider to another during handoff by ISBAR communication strategies. Methods: Quantitative evaluative approach of one group pertest post-test design was used to test SIM performance in ISBAR techniques. Staff Nurse were selected by convenience sampling technique and sample consists of 60 staff nurses, working in ICU PESIMSR hospital, Andhra Pradesh. Semi structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used to investigate data collected in terms of policies. Results: The analysis shows that, there was significant difference in mean percentage knowledge score of the ISBAR clinical communication between pertest (35%) and post-test (92%). the estimated value of parade's’ value was 27.675 greater than the table value, which is known to have made significant progress in the total knowledge score. Conclusion: ISBAR clinical handover Communication tool was effective on nursing shift handovers and help for holistic care of ICU patient.

Pounding Analysis of Adjacent Structures
The aim of this study is to correlate the seismic performance of a RC frame structure at different seismic demand levels with the separation gap that would be inadequate against pounding with an adjacent structure. In this direction nonlinear direct integration seismic analyses have been performed. This study includes the evaluation of the storey (floor to floor) and inter-storey (floor to column) pounding problem at fifteen seismic demand levels, using for each level 2 seismic excitations that have been properly scaled. The seismic performances of the structures without the pounding effect have also been evaluated. The results of the assessment indicate that: (a) Adjacent structure with same stories and equal storey height behaves same as no pounding structures. (b) at all the examined levels of the seismic demand, the local performance of the external column of the tall building that suffers the impact from the upper floor slab of the adjacent shorter structure is the most important issue in the inter-storey pounding phenomenon. (c)The taller structure suffers whiplash effect when pounds on adjacent shorter structure. Thereafter, the minimum required gap distance against pounding between the adjacent structures has been estimated taking into account two different criteria: (a) avoidance of the shear failure in the critical column that suffers the hit and (b) complete avoidance of the contact between the adjacent structures. The separation gap is evaluated at all the seismic demand levels for both pounding cases. In comparison to the IS 1893:2002 provisions the results of this study indicate less conservative separation gap distances between the adjacent structures at different levels of seismic demand.

Improving the efficiency of public transport- post lockdown
The whole world is under the influence of corona virus. This ongoing pandemic has created such a terrifying situation that people are not ready to come out from their houses. Corona virus across the world has imposed severe travel restrictions. Travel behaviour of the passengers is totally changed as government has imposed so many rules and regulations to follow while travelling so as to minimize the risk of getting in contact with each other. Various measures have been taken for the travellers travelling in different mode of transport all over the world. The pandemic has even led many countries to switch towards modernisation by pay using electronic mode rather than paying physically. This will help passengers to maintain social distancing while travelling. Public transport operators has face an excess breakdown during the lockdown but post lockdown there is again a ray of hope is rising as the demand for public transport is incredibly increasing day-by-day. This paper represents what measures government should take to increase the demand of public transport during this pandemic situation.

A study on emotional maturity and birth order
In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of Birth Order i.e. the order in which a person is born into their family on the emotional maturity of the person. It plays a significant role on the development of the child due to relationship with siblings and elders, expectations from parents etc. So in this paper, we will discuss about What is Birth Order? What is Emotional Maturity? How birth order affects the individual’s emotional maturity? Why the study was conducted? Whether there is any difference between the emotional maturity of the First born and the Second/ Last born or not. The Emotional maturity scale by Y Singh and M Bhargava has been used for data collection and the statistical technique MANN WHITNEY U-TEST has also been used and the results are discussed.

Non – Performing assets and its impact on profitability
The financial industry assumes a vital part in the Indian economy. Estimating and keeping up the advantage nature of banks is significant for the advancement of the financial division. These days, the benefit quality in banks, particularly the Public Division Banks is continually breaking down and accordingly making insufferable pressure the financial part, controllers, and Indian economy. The goal of the current examination is to comprehend the degree of Non-performing Assets (NPA), and how it impacts the productivity of the banks. For this reason, the examination thought about Gross and Net NPA of 10 Public and Private division banks from April 2014 to March 2018. The examination recognized that both general society and private segment banks steadily increment their Net and Net NPA during the period. The investigation found that there is a huge positive connection between Gross NPA and Net NPA of public and private area banks. The examination additionally found a huge negative connection between NPA with Return on Assets (ROA) of public and private part banks. The effect of possession (public and private division banks) altogether impacts the Gross and Net NPA.
