Study of correlation between academic performance and quality of life among occupational therapy students
This study is designed to assess the correlation between the academic performance and quality of life among the Occupational Therapy students. To find out if a relation exists between the academic performance and quality of life of Occupational Therapy students. Method: All the samples were collected from Occupational Therapy students using Questionnaire method. Data were collected using the Student Performance Assessment and The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF. In our study, 245 Occupational Therapy students were participated, among the age range of 17-23 years and were assigned in four groups (Group A:- F.Y.B.O.Th, Group B:- S.Y.B.O.Th, Group C:- T.Y.B.O.Th, Group D:- Fi.Y. B.O.Th). The relation between their Academic Performance and Quality of life were assessed using the statistical analysis tools. The relation between academic performance and quality of life of occupational therapy students were observed and compared between Group A, Group B, Group C, and Group D. Results and Conclusion:-The results of our study showed that the academic performance and quality of life of the 4 assigned groups are positively correlated. If the value of one variable increases, then the value of another variable also tends to increase i.e. if the quality of life of Occupational Therapy students improves, then their academic performance also improves in similar proportion. Hence, it can be said that if the student has a good quality of life, then their academic performance will be better.

Hospital wastewater treatment by electro-coagulation process
Hospitals are significant consumers of water. The wastewater generated by the hospitals may contain pathogens, bacteria, viruses, pharmaceuticals etc. In this paper, the review has been done for the treatment of hospital wastewater containing harmful ingredients using electrocoagulation, the reuse of the same water after treatment. Electrocoagulation method is one of the effective methods for the treatment of Industrial Wastewater. Because of its low operation and maintenance cost, high efficiency, time-saving, lower sludge production without any addition of chemicals. The efficiency of electrocoagulation method mainly depends on the treatment time, the conductivity of the solution, distance between electrodes and the current density. The main objective of the study is to remove the solids present in Hospital wastewater by electrocoagulation using Aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) electrodes. Electrocoagulation is the electrochemical process of treatment of wastewater. Hospital wastewater contains solids, BOD, COD, phenols, radioactive isotopes, pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, blood, body fluid, sweat, contaminated organs, disinfectant, pharmaceuticals as well as hazardous chemicals can be effectively removed by Electrocoagulation method. The factors which affect the electrocoagulation process are current density, treatment time, pH, the distance between electrodes, an initial concentration of the sample, a conductivity of the solution, electrode material. Hospital wastewater effluents discharge in environment may cause serious threat to the environment as well as humans and this effluents also contain solids, BOD, COD, phenols, radioactive isotopes, pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, blood, body fluid, sweat, contaminated organs, disinfectant, pharmaceuticals as well as hazardous chemicals, pathogenic microorganisms and other heavy metals and toxic chemical compounds such as Cu, Fe, Cd, Pb, Hg, Ni, Pt, Cyanide, Phenol and this type of wastewater can adversely affect ecology balance and public health. So there is a need to have effective treatment of the wastewater is a must before discharge into the river or stream.

Design and analysis of hexagonal fin for air cooled engines
Major automobile engine components are subjected to wear and thermal stress due to high temperature during combustion. Fins are used to increase the heat transfer rate of an I.C. Engine. In an internal combustion engine, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted to thermal energy to give a mechanical work as output. There is a large amount of heat is liberated to the combustion of fuel in which only a few amounts of energy is converted into useful work (60%-80% approx.) and the remaining energy is wasted. This heat is first conducted to engine cylinder and dissipated to air through extended surface called fins. In an air-cooled engine, the low rate of heat transfer is the main problem. To avoid this, the engine's fins are modified by changing the geometry of the cooling fins. All materials are showing a linear distribution of temperature alongside the length of fins. Also, the hexagonal shape fins increase the heat flux by converting the fin geometry from a rectangular shape to hexagonal and thus reduce the wear of engine parts and knocking of the engine.

Robust technique to restore and enhance image for edge detection
To recover the degrade image restoration is a need. There are different formats for pixel noise like salt & pepper, Gaussian noise, etc, which cause the image degradation and may become the main reason to miss the pixel regions during capturing, transmissions, processing, etc. So for better processing, these missing pixel must be restored, in this process single pixel, multiple pixel (spatial) models are used for the restoration of the missing or bad pixels. In this paper, the proposed model is designed for the recovery of the pixel by using adaptive methods and the image is enhanced by using an automatic enhancement technique. The proposed model has been analyzed with the improved results in context with the existing models, which shows the robustness of the proposed model.

Burr formation minimization in drilling process using experimental study with statistical analysis
Burrs are generally plastic deformation of the workpiece after machining process. Deburring can reduce burr formation but it is time consuming and increase the production cost. By changing some of the input parameters like Spindle Speed, Feed Rate, Depth of Cut, the formation of burr can be reduced. This research work presents an experimental study on minimizing the formation of burr in machining like drilling. In this thesis, Universal Radial machine has been used to make holes. By changing machining variables like feed, cutting velocity and speed different sizes and the type of the burrs created in aluminum are studied. Taguchi analysis has been done to analyze the predicted minimum burr height. ANOVA has also been done to analyze the maximum contribution of the parameters to form the burr. Signal to Noise(S/N) ratio plots has been shown in this research. Response surface methodology also has been conducted. In the design optimization, the application of RSM is aimed to reduce the cost of the expensive analysis methods (e.g. finite element method or CFD analysis) and their associated numerical noise.
