 Abstract

The Baya Weaver (Baya Weaver) is primarily granivorous, feeding on a wide variety of seeds, including rice (Oryza sativa), millet (Pennisetum glaucum), wheat (Triticum aestivum), maize (Zea mays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), and various wild grass seeds, with rice constituting a major proportion of its diet. In the present study, five representative sites were selected across the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, India, to investigate the feeding ecology of the species. Field observations revealed that the feeding behaviour and dietary composition of the Baya Weaver vary significantly with seasonality, habitat type, and food resource availability. The species exploits diverse habitats such as agricultural fields, grasslands, wetlands, and scrublands, adjusting its diet according to local environmental conditions. These spatial and temporal variations in food preference are not random but represent adaptive foraging strategies that maximize energy intake while responding to fluctuations in seed abundance, crop phenology, and habitat productivity. Such dietary flexibility contributes to the ecological success of the Baya Weaver in the semi-arid landscapes of the Shekhawati region.

 Abstract

Efficient vegetables sorting from aerial images is essential for precision digital farming. Effectively keeping track of. vegetable plants, estimating how much they will produce, and deciding how to use resources carefully. This research work presents an integrated deep learning and machine learning technique for classification of aerial vegetable crops where deep features were extracted from the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) followed by their classification through traditional classification algorithms. Three pretrained CNN models, VGG16, EfficientNetB7, and InceptionV3, have been used to obtain the deep features of the crops. The features obtained through the pretrained CNNs were then classified using SVM, RF, and XGBoost algorithms. Precision, recall, F1-score, and classification accuracy were used as evaluation metrics to assess the proposed models' performance. Experimental results showed that the combination of EfficientNetB7-SVM and VGG16-XGBoost gave the maximum classification accuracy of 95%.

 Abstract

This study investigates the influence of online reviews and ratings on consumer purchasing decisions in digital marketplaces. With the growing importance of electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), consumers increasingly rely on user-generated feedback as a form of social proof to reduce uncertainty and evaluate product reliability. The study adopts a quantitative descriptive research design and collects primary data through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 56 regular online shoppers. The research focuses on two key independent variables: textual reviews, which provide detailed information about product quality and user experience, and star ratings, which offer a quick numerical evaluation of products. The findings indicate that a majority of consumers refer to online reviews before making a purchase and often consider them more reliable than traditional advertising. Positive reviews tend to enhance purchase intention, while negative reviews have a stronger impact in discouraging potential buyers. Furthermore, detailed and logical reviews are found to be more influential in the decision-making process compared to simple star ratings.

संगीत में संगत शब्द से तात्पर्य है गायक,वादक,नृत्यक,लय,ताल,एवं संगीत की प्रकृति के अनुसार वादन करना। प्राचीन काल में सर्वप्रथम हस्त-स्वर से उसके बाद घन-वाद्य से और फिर अवनद्य-वाद्य से लय ताल देने की परंपरा विकसित हुई। विशेषकर शास्त्रीय संगीत की दृष्टि से अति प्राचीन काल में दुंदुभि,प्राचीन काल में त्रिपुष्कर, मध्यकाल में मृदंग अर्थात पखावज और वर्तमान काल में तबले को सर्वाधिक महत्वपूर्ण स्थान प्राप्त हुआ है। प्राचीन काल से लेकर वर्तमान काल तक भारतीय शास्त्रीय संगीत में लय चक्र और ताल चक्र को बनाये रखने के लिए तबला एक प्रमुख संगत ताल -वाद्य है। संगीत की मुख्य तीनो विधाओं (गायन,वादन,नृत्य) में संगत वाद्य के रूप में तबले का विशेष स्थान एवं महत्व है, जो अन्य किसी वाद्य को प्राप्त नहीं है। संगीत में तबला वादन की दो धाराए प्रचार में है एक स्वतंत्र वादन और दूसरी संगत ,पिछले कुछ वर्षो में स्वतंत्र वादन में भी तबला अत्यधिक लोकप्रिय हो गया है,लेकिन मुख्यतः संगीत में इसका प्रयोग संगत वाद्य के रूप में होता रहा है और आगे भी होता रहेगा। इस शोध पत्र के अध्ययन का मुख्य उद्देश्य संगत वाद्य के रूप में तबले के महत्व को प्रकाश में लाना है। हिंदुस्तानी शास्त्रीय संगीत में तबले को एक प्रमुख संगत वाद्य माना जाता है उत्तर भारतीय संगीत को नयी क्षेतीज उचाईयो को पार करने तथा देश -विदेश में लोकप्रिय एवं आनंदमयी प्रस्तुति को सफल बनाने में तबला संगत को महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है। गायक,वादक या नृत्यक को प्रस्तुति को सफल बनाने में तबला संगत की मुख्य भूमिका है।

 Abstract

1. Rapid urbanization and industrial development have led to increased environmental pollution, resulting in the accumulation of dust, organic contaminants, and harmful gaseous pollutants on concrete surfaces. These contaminants adversely affect the aesthetic appearance, durability, and maintenance requirements of civil infrastructure. To address these challenges, the development of sustainable and multifunctional construction materials has gained significant attention. This study investigates the influence of SRL grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO?) on the photocatalytic, self-cleaning, and mechanical properties of cement mortar. 2. In the present experimental investigation, cement mortar specimens were prepared by partially replacing cement with varying percentages of SRL grade TiO? while maintaining a constant cement-to-sand ratio of 1:3. The specimens were cast in standard cube moulds and cured for periods of 7 and 28 days. The performance of TiO?-modified mortar was evaluated through compressive strength testing, photocatalytic dye degradation assessment, and self-cleaning surface observations. 3. The experimental results revealed that the incorporation of Titanium Dioxide significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity and self-cleaning performance of cement mortar surfaces. Furthermore, an optimum dosage of TiO? contributed to a marginal improvement in compressive strength due to its micro-filler effect and its ability to promote cement hydration. However, higher TiO? contents resulted in reduced performance, primarily due to particle agglomeration and non-uniform dispersion within the mortar matrix. 4. The findings demonstrate that TiO?-modified cement mortar possesses excellent potential as an environmentally sustainable and multifunctional construction material. Its application can contribute to the development of self-cleaning building facades, air-purifying pavements, and durable infrastructure systems, thereby supporting sustainable urban development and environmental protection.
