  Earthquake Resilient Sustainable Lightweight Steel Buildings STRUCTURAL STEEL is a very ductile material with high strength carrying capacity, thus it is very useful to make earthquake resistant buildings. It is a homogeneous material also. The member sections and the structural systems can be made very efficient for economical design. As the steel is recyclable and reused it is a green material. The embodied energy for the efficiently designed steel structure is less than the RC structure. For sustainable green building steel is the best material nowadays. Moreover, pre-engineered and pre-fabricated faster construction methodologies help the development work to complete within the stipulated time. In old days wooden buildings were made in highly earthquake prone areas for its low weight. With the recent advancement of steel industry if we can make these type of buildings using square hollow sections/rectangular hollow sections, steel plated/wooden floors and puffed panel walli...

  The Evolution of Semiconductor Physics: From Discovery to Technological Revolution The journey of semiconductor physics, from its early discoveries to becoming the backbone of modern technology, is a remarkable story of scientific curiosity, theoretical advancements, and ground breaking innovations. Semiconductors have transformed the way we interact with technology, enabling everything from everyday consumer electronics to cutting-edge scientific instruments. The evolution of semiconductor physics has been marked by a series of pioneering discoveries and technological milestones that have redefined human life and industry. The advancement of semiconductors in solid-state electronic devices primarily took place after World War II. However, the first unexpected insight into semiconducting behavior emerged much earlier. In 1833, Michael Faraday observed that silver sulfide (Ag₂S) exhibited a negative temperature coefficient, meaning its resistance decreased with increasing temper...

  Assimilating Social Media into the Everyday Life: Normalising the Abnormal For a considerable period of time, there has been an unrivalled debate about the essentially disastrous effect that social media has had on young people, especially students from school to college. Parents, doctors and almost every member of society think it to be an absolute evil that has been constructed to only mar young people on a disparaging path. But almost more than a decade after the coming of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram or even Snapchat, it is time that we review our thoughts towards these platforms and move towards a healthier way of including these platforms in our daily activities, rather than completely shunning them away or creating such an environment whereby the respective pupil still uses it, but in a way that requires them to hide their activity behind strict parental eyes. There is no doubt that social media platforms have often become a ripe groun...

  Data Marketplaces Exchange has been one of the fundamental drivers of human evolution. From the earliest days of bartering goods to the complex global trade networks of today, the act of exchange has shaped societies, fueled progress, and connected people across cultures and continents. It’s not just about trading physical items— exchange encompasses ideas, knowledge, and resources, all of which have propelled humanity forward. In many ways, exchange is woven into the fabric of our existence. Whether it was ancient merchants trading spices along the Silk Road or modern businesses sharing data across digital platforms, the principle remains the same: exchange fosters growth, collaboration, and evolution. As we stand on the brink of a new era defined by data and technology, the concept of exchange continues to evolve. Today, we’re not just trading tangible goods—we’re exchanging information, insights, and opportunities on an unprecedented scale. This timeless practice, refined and ...

  Influence of Indian Traditional Knowledge on Sustainability: The Mahakumbh journey Indian traditional Knowledge Systems, developed thousands of years ago, do have the capacity to provide keys to today’s VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous). The more we focus on technology as harbingers of the progress and prosperity of human civilisation, the more problems are generated too, mainly pertaining to the maintenance and sustainability of the structures for energy, infrastructure, livelihoods, social relationships, health, and survival, in the long run.  Indian Knowledge Systems focus on the power of nature, it’s resources, and the respect that they deserve. Moreover they focus on the true collective, every individual working together, utilising their strengths and competencies to create ecosystems that sustain themselves with simple principles, shared existences and minimum wastage. These are the thoughts that run through one’s mind, as one takes a dip in the ...

  The Need for Clinical Psychology and Its Implications   Clinical psychology plays a critical role in diagnosing, understanding, and treating mental health disorders, enabling individuals to manage emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges effectively. With the increasing prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression in today’s fast-paced world, the demand for mental health professionals has grown significantly. Clinical psychologists provide therapy, conduct psychological assessments, and develop tailored treatment plans to help individuals lead healthier lives.   Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are becoming more common. According to the WHO, depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Clinical psychologists help individuals identify and manage these disorders through therapeutic interventions like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychotherapy. Fo...

  Bridging Mathematics and the Real World: Harnessing AI to Solve Complex Global Challenges Mathematics has long been recognized as the "language of the universe." It provides a framework for understanding the complexities of the natural world, from the motion of planets to the intricate workings of human biology. However, its role extends far beyond theory—mathematics is at the heart of real-world problem-solving across a variety of sectors, including healthcare, engineering, space research, finance, and more. It is through the application of mathematical concepts that we unlock solutions to some of the most pressing challenges faced by society. Famous scientists and mathematicians such as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, John von Neumann, and Ada Lovelace have made profound contributions to the development of mathematical theories and their real-world applications. Newton's development of calculus revolutionized our understanding of motion and gravity, laying the founda...

" Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe ." – Galileo Galilei Mathematics, often regarded as the language of the universe, has been the foundation of understanding the world since ancient times. From the Pyramids of Egypt to the temples of India, mathematics shaped architecture, navigation, and astronomy. The ancient Indian sages were particularly known for their profound contributions to mathematics, approaching it as a tool to solve real-life problems and connect with the cosmic order. Aryabhata, one of the great Indian mathematicians, emphasized that numbers are the gateway to understanding time and space, showing how abstract ideas can explain the cosmos. His calculations on the value of and the circumference of the Earth were pivotal in navigating the world. Also, he introduced zero, which transformed arithmetic and algebra, saying that in debt or wealth, it all begins from nothing, a concept that profoundly changed trade and finance. Bhaskara...

  Explainable AI: Modern Innovations in the Field of Artificial Intelligence I n order to avoid naively trusting AI, it is imperative that a business fully understands its decision-making processes, including model monitoring and accountability. How many times have you failed in your life? Isn't it a challenging question? Unless you're very clever or very optimistic, you'll probably answer it 100, 1000, or an endless number of times. And maybe you hoped you could work like a machine every time you failed and had to cope with the consequences. Without a doubt, we can automate procedures and reduce failure rates thanks to computational power. The development of AI has made it possible to use data-based reasoning to make decisions. But what if, in spite of all the excitement, AI systems don't live up to expectations? AI systems base their judgments and forecasts on probabilistic techniques and statistical analysis. AI based its forecasts on the most likely outcomes while...
