Formulation and evaluation of Adulsa capsules Phytosomes
The major problem associated with the herbal drug is poor bioavailability so as to improve the bioavailability of herbal novel drug delivery system known as phytosome is used. By applying this novel approach bioavailability is increased. The objective of the current project is to develop a formulation with a systematic approach to yield better products in terms of stability, acceptability and therapeutic value owing to its greater bioavailability origin. Different phytosomal complexes of vasaka leaf extract containing a molar ratio of 1:1,1:2,1:3,1:4,2:1,2:2 using methanolic extract, soya lecithin and cholesterol were prepared by solvent injection technique.Adhatoda vasica phytosomes were characterized by particle size,zeta potential, entrapment efficiency,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and in vitro drug release. The average particle size and zeta potential of optimized formulation were found to be 136.7nm and -22.7 and entrapment efficiency was found to be 71%. In-vitro % drug release of capsules of Adhatoda vasica was found to 85%.

Applications of Operations Research in the food delivery industry
The food delivery industry in India is growing rapidly with the increasing availability of technology. In this research paper, we aimed at finding out the application of operational research in the food delivery industry. It has always been a known fact that humans are known to make mistakes if work is done without the help of any scientific tool. With detailed research in this industry, it came to our knowledge that the processes in various organizations have logistical flaws. This made us want to connect the concept of operations research to the food delivery industry, so as to maximize the results with minimum resources or costs. We have provided an analysis of how operations research can be used in this industry. Our research has been supported by real-life implications and it was proven to us that operations research techniques can help food delivery platforms in making decisions about how they should go about with their day to day operations as efficiently as possible at the minimum cost.

Investigating the acceptable quantity of fine aggregate to be replaced with sawdust to obtain strong, light weight, and economical result for HCB production
Hollow concrete blocks are a construction material produced from a mixture of Portland cement (OPC or PPC), Fine aggregates and Water. But the concrete mixture used for blocks has a higher percentage of fine aggregate and a lower percentage of water than the concrete mixtures used for general construction purposes. The construction industry is a rapidly growing industry in the world and hollow concrete blocks are being widely used in the construction of residential buildings, factories, and multi-storied buildings. Due to these, there is a scarcity of good quality fine aggregate due to depletion of resources and restriction due to environmental consideration, to make a hollow concrete block manufacturing to look for suitable alternative fine aggregate. The objective of this experimental study was to investigate the effect of using sawdust as an alternative fine aggregate for hollow concrete block production and to determine an optimum content of sawdust for the replacement of fine aggregate that can be acceptable for the production of hollow concrete blocks, in order to help contribute to the industry in saving the environment, to provide new knowledge to the contractors and developers on how to improve the construction industry methods and services by using sawdust concrete mixture, and sustain good product performance. The study was a laboratory experimental study conducted by preparing two types of HCB test samples. The first test sample of HCB was produced by using mix proportion 1:2:1:2 of cement, sand, gravel 00 and crushed aggregate respectively as a control group. The second sample PCBs were produced by replacing sand with sawdust in a 4% increment in volume 4%. 8%, 12%, 16%, 20%, and 24%. but the result between 8% and 12% replacement shows high difference therefore 10% replacement is needed to get the intermediate result. According to this study, the HCB without sawdust achieved 5.09Mpa mean compressive strength and the HCB with 10% sawdust achieved 4.01Mpa mean compressive strength and the HCB with 20% sawdust achieved 2.13Mpa. The acceptable replacement was obtained at 10% for the desired class B HCB and at 20% for class C HCB. The result from density and absorption show replacing sand with sawdust 4% in volume can decrease the density by 3.86% and increase the absorption by 2%. The material cost of all HCBs with sawdust was found lower than the HCB without sawdust. Replacing sand with sawdust 4% in volume can decrease the material cost by 3.68birr or 2%. According to the result, a hollow concrete block with sawdust replacement in this study has achieved a better reduction in material cost and density and a smaller increment in absorption also achieved the desired compressive strength by limiting the sawdust replacement percentage. Therefore as a recommendation for contractors, HCB manufacturers, Wood product manufacturing firms, construction industry and another researcher that the benefit of using sawdust as a replacement of fine aggregate has to be considered and deeply investigated.

Application of Operations Research in solving malnutrition
In this paper we solve a diet problem with the goal to find an optimal combination of food items on the condition that the daily nutritional requirements of a child are satisfied. The mathematical model of the problem is formulated as a linear program where the objective function is the number of calories for the proposed menu, on the condition that the constraints regarding the amounts of protein, fats, calcium, carbohydrates and dietary fibre consumed throughout an entire day are satisfied. We solve this problem by using the Solver tool in Microsoft Excel.
