Deposition of CaO (lime) on rocks near the temples submerged in the waters of Lonar crater, Maharashtra, India
At Lonar Crater on the northern side, near the water body, the base part of the temples submerged in the waters which were never exposed for the last 22 years due to constant rise of water level, are now exposed due to decrease of water level to a large extent, debris of rocks of unknown origin are found to be covered by a white layer. To investigate in detail whether the white layer on these rocks near the temples otherwise found to be submerged in the waters of Lonar crater and now exposed, are of SiO₂ (silica) origin or NaCl (common salt, sea salt) origin, or any other component, a search was conducted to find the source, its origin and the cause for these phenomena through this study. Representative samples of these rocks from debris near the temple towards north side of the crater was collected and stored in a polythene bag for further investigation. XRF analysis carried out of two rocks of both sides i.e., of sample No. 1, white layered part 16 elements with their oxides were detected of which CaO (Calcium Oxide i.e., quicklime) – 76.000% being the major content and others such as Fe₂O₃, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO etc., in minor quantities. Similarly of sample No.2, the white layered part showed that 16 elements with their oxides were detected of which CaO – 85.900%, being the major content, and others such as SiO₂, MgO, Al₂O₃, SO₃, Fe₂O₃, P₂O₅ etc., in minor quantities. The original rocks i.e., the black part of both the samples showed that major component was SiO₂, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, CaO, MgO, and TiO₂, with other components in minor quantities. For the first time such a high percentage of CaO (Calcium Oxide i.e., quicklime) has been detected which is found to be deposited on the surface of debris of rocks near the temples on the northern side of the crater. White rusting/white coating of SiO₂ (Silica) has been observed and reported by Jadhav and Mali. This work being of preliminary investigation, a search was conducted to know the cause and how CaO (Calcium Oxide i.e., quicklime) found in such a high percentage deposited on the rocks or the rocks were found to be coated or encapsulated by a white layer of CaO and to record and document this phenomena with detail studies.

The impact of parent brand on the brand extensions on the purchase decision in the food industry
Brand extension is one of the most used and successful expansion strategy that brands have used and can use to gain advantages in the market. This project focuses mainly on two brands- Cadbury and Kellogg’s- and their brand extensions. Consumers’ viewpoints about the two brand and their extensions were gathered and analysed. The main objective of this research was to understand whether parent brand consumption, parent brand visibility and awareness of brand extensions had an impact on the performance of brand extensions and the purchase decision of brand extensions by consumer.

Using various materials as a partial replacement of cement
Day by bay population growth rate is increasing as the same construction growth rate is also rising. Since a large number of natural resources and materials were used. Also, cement is used in a huge quantity which causes rising Co2 pollution, so because of this, we need to find a new substitute for cement. Disposal problem of waste material is becoming critical day by day. Millions tone of waste is generated every year in the world. In this topic, an attempt has been made to utilize, which is waste of industry, municipal solid waste, agricultural waste. The research work is the determination of the effect of the use of various waste as a replacement of cement to assess the pozzolanic nature. Also comparing the chemical compositions of various waste materials, physical and chemical properties were studied. Then final result concluding the best materials which are most widely used globally in a bulk quantity. Reduce the demand for cement, glass powder decreases the unit weight as well as the porosity as indicated by the decrease in water absorption. It reduces the quantity of cement to be used in concrete. Also, glass powder is proved to be economical and is considered as environmentally friendly construction material.

BOT kitchen
Nowadays everyone is concerned with how to make life easier and IoT is one such field which makes peoples life easy and less hectic. The kitchen is an integral part of a humans life. People go to the kitchen on a regular routine to make food for themselves, making food is a tedious job and managing it is more of a headache. So our aim is to reduce the risks as well as reduce the headache of managing the kitchen by introducing BOT KITCHEN, which in itself will be efficient enough to make cooking food easier. The application of this product is that it would manage kitchen inventory using RFID. Another important application is that it would manage dustbin by identifying the waste that is whether it is biodegradable or non-biodegradable.

Multibanking system
Multi Banking system - The main idea is to implement a web application through which users can perform different bank accounts transactions on a single platform. This concept is a new idea for improving future banking and increasing confront for users. In general, users need to log into different online bank accounts to perform transactions which require many security issues and time taking process but using this application user can save their time and use all features that are available in every bank. Transaction calculations and updations are maintained by admin and provide customer support for users. This system will act as a mediator between banks and users. Users can maintain single username and password and contact only one customer care service for any problems.
