Life Cycle Impact Assessment of Glass Manufacturing In Pakistan /

By Khan, Muhammad Usman Ali . . 76p. , The production of glass packaging requires a lot of energy and resources, and as the world's population rises, particularly in emerging nations, so does the demand for glass packaging. Although developing nations are also suffering from the effects of climate change, there is relatively little study on environmental impact assessment and analysis, notably the environmental impacts brought on by the activities related to glass manufacturing. This work conducted a thorough life cycle assessment (LCA) for the production of glass packaging in Pakistan in order to close this research gap of quantification of the environmental impacts of glass packaging production. The LCA was carried out for three distinct types of glass packaging solutions (amber, flint, and green), considering 1-ton of glass as the functional unit. The creation of several scenarios allowed for the analysis of the effects and the generation of ideas for ways to lessen the negative effects of glass manufacture on the environment. The study's methodology used a cradle-to-gate approach. From the perspective of the life cycle inventory, the main data were gathered from a renowned glass industry situated in one of Pakistan's designated industrial zones, and the secondary data were obtained from the Ecoinvent database. Environmental impacts were measured at midpoint and endpoint levels utilizing the ReCiPe 2016 approach and SimaPro V 9.2 as the software tool. Results indicated that the extraction and processing of raw material had worse impacts on the environment. At plant level the consumption of natural gas for the melting purposes and electricity consumed from national grid had highest impacts on the environment. The comparison of three packaging solutions indicated that the production of green glass was more harmful to the environment, followed by the production of amber glass and flint glass came out to be more environmentally friendly among the three packaging solutions. The alternative scenarios were generated by changing the energy-mix and the cullet ratios and the results were compared with the baseline scenarios for different midpoint and endpoint impact categories. The alternative scenarios for the energy mix were also compared for different kinds of emissions to air especially the greenhouse gas emissions. The report also identified a number of significant implications. This study may serve as a guide for future research on the environmental impact of the glass packaging industry, particularly in Pakistan and other developing nations. In this sense, developing nations would work toward net-zero emissions and sustainable development goals 30cm.

Data Acquisition & Experimental Analysis Of Power Harvesting From Suspension System /

By Hassan, Ahmad Sabur . . 66p. , Energy crisis and environmental problems such as oil shortage and atmospheric pollution have brought challenges for new development of an energy saving, efficient and environment friendly power transmission system in vehicles. This research is focused on how to use the vibrational energy of the suspension system to generate power that would otherwise go as waste. It is demonstrated that the potential energy of driving vibration is sufficient to be utilized as a sustainable energy. The vibrations experienced by the shock absorber of the vehicle when passed through some irregularities on the road are converted into useful energy by using a regenerative linear or rotary mechanism. As shock absorber effect formed, spring is compressed, and linear movement of rack is converted in rotary motion due to pinion moves as the rack is meshed with pinion. And the pinion is mounted on the shaft of the generator which then produce the power. It is then used to calculate the practical power generated from the regenerative shock absorber by taking the real vibrations amplitude data from the road. The vibrations amplitude data is acquired from the road by driving motorcycle on different road conditions with the setup installed in it to calculate and store the vibrations amplitude data. Later, the same data is applied to the testing rig by using pneumatic and Arduino to find out the voltage generated. The power that is practically generated by testing the mechanism on the rig is around 9.5 watts. The harvestable power from the suspension depends on the vehicle speed, road roughness and stiffness of the tire. This regenerated energy is used to charge the battery. 30cm.

Assessment of Stress Biomarkers in the Saliva of Smokers and Nonsmokers via UV Photospectrometry and POMS /

By Fahim, Maria . . 99p. , Smoking is one of the major health catastrophes. Smoking is believed to be the major cause of chronic diseases like Cardiovascular complications, stroke, pregnancy issues, respiratory failure, etc. There are three important transdiagnostic emotional factors that make the population vulnerable to initiation of smoking i.e. anhedonia anxiety sensitivity, distress tolerance. Research studies for the past five decades have proven the adverse effect of stress on brain physiology and functioning. The human body responds to trauma (physical or non-physical stress) in a definite manner. This response of the body can be qualitatively and quantitatively monitored through several chemicals in the bloodstream, saliva, or urine; responding to the stress, called stress biomarkers i.e. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, cortisol, cytokines etc. Saliva delivers an efficient specimen for various diagnostic procedures due to the presence of different biological products and secondary metabolites of xenobiotics and helps in determining the disease progressions as well as therapy outcomes depending on the variations in the markers/triggers. The nature of mindset and mood states are evaluated by a scales designed to rate the behavior of an individual towards the environmental stimuli that may be physical or psychological in nature. This psychological rating scale is known as the profile of mood state (POMS). This scale was initially originated by McNair, Droppleman, and Lorr in 1971. This scale is presented in the form a questionnaire including different questions regarding the mode and feelings of a subject.This research work aims to further elucidate the utilization of UV Photospectrometry for quantitatively assessing POMS and its relation to the stress biomarker. The samples were collected form the vicinity of the university campus H-12 Islamabad. The samples were processed and stored at the biomedical laboratory of School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (SMME), NUST. A total of twenty-four (24) male subjects were analyzed. A total of two groups were considered. Group 1 included the non-smoking participants, while group 2 included smoking participants. Simple spitting technique was used for the collection of unstimulated saliva. About 4 ml unstimulated saliva was collected in the sterile falcon tube. Saliva was temporarily stored in cool boxes at 4°C and immediately II shifted to the facility. Centrifugation of the salivary sample was done at 4°C for 5 minutes and 10,000 rpm. Saliva sample was frozen at -80°C until sample collection span was completed. The mood state of the participants was also evaluated using the profile of mood state technique used initially by McNair, Lorr, and Droppleman in 1971. The total mood disturbance (TMD) score was calculated that ranges from -32 to 200. The questionnaire was accessed from ―Mackenzie, B. (2001) Profile of Mood States (POMS) [WWW] Available from: https://www.brianmac.co.uk/poms.htm [Accessed 26/6/2022]‖. Simulated neural networking (SNN) was applied to the collected data from smokers and non-smokers for accuracy scoring. The required statistical analysis was performed and the data was statistically analyzed through a software ―GraphPad Prism 8.0‖ and the respective graphs were plotted. UV spectrophotometry studies provided peak plasma concentration peaks at the lower UV range of 190 to 210 nm, but with no significant difference, representing the presence of biological stress markers. The profile of mood state evaluation studies concluded that the smoking participants were presented with a significantly higher level of individual mood profile scores i.e. anger (****, P<0.0001), confusion (**, P<0.0014), fatigue (*, P<0.0354), tension (*, P<0.0422) and stress as compared to nonsmoking participants. The vigorous score was significantly high in the nonsmoking individuals (****, P<0.0001). Similarly, total mood disturbance score was also significantly high in the smoking participants. The application of artificial neural networking through artificial machine learning scored the accuracy of the results 84% which is a reliable outcome. The current research work concludes that different stress stimuli including physiological stress and psychological stress tends to initiate/increase the smoking behavior among the community. Likewise, it is also concluded that smoking initiation may not be always triggered in response to stress. Numerous factors i.e. lack of education, negative inspiration, or behavior to impress are also involved. Furthermore, the adaptation of smoking behavior as a result of stressful stimuli is not a valid approach to reduce the noxious/stressful stimuli. The stress may further be exaggerated by smoking. 30cm.

Effects of Broadband Noise on Sleep Quality /

By Zulfiqar, Zanib . . 78p. , Quality sleep is related to multiple valued performances in human life, including maintaining health and improving outcomes at work. Disturbance of sleep can increase the morbidity rate and can create multiple psychological and physiological issues. Broadband noises were hypothesized to mask disruptive noises and improve sleep quality. However, the efficacy of noise in improving sleep measures remained unclear due to the smaller sample size, uncontrolled noise environment, and sleep duration. The main aim of the study was to quantify sleep quality, sleep fragmentation, sleep latency, and relevant sleep factors by providing broadband noises and to assess whether white noise could be a non-pharmacological treatment for better sleep quality. For that purpose, sleep monitoring devices i.e., Fitbit Charge 4 and 5 as well as multiple questionnaires including PSQI, rMEQ, AASP, and St Mary questionnaire were used for data collection. Both hardware and questionnaire data were used to evaluate the effect of white noise on all the sleep factors i.e., sleep stages, sleep latency, total sleep duration, and overall sleep score. Also, environmental noise was measured by using decibel meters. Mostly healthy participants having the age of 25.07+/-4.66 for the questionnaire-based study and 24.25+/- 2.57 for hardware-based data were selected for data collection. Multiple statistical tests were performed on the collected data. ANOVA tests were performed on Fitbit’s data along with the post-hoc tests. Also, chi-square tests were conducted on questionnaire data. The p-value>0.0.5 in all tests suggested that no significant effect of white noise on sleep quality. The results concluded that white noise does not play a significant role in improving sleep quality. However, it can be used as a placebo effect for better sleep for specific persons. The results are based on both sleep monitoring devices and questionnaires with proper statistical analysis, having greater sample size and under controlled environmental noise. However, this work can be extended by changing the population of the experiment i.e., infants and ICU patients to check the effects of white noise. 30cm.

pH-Responsive Aloe Vera Hydrogels Loaded with Imatinib for Targeting Drug Resistance in Cancer /

By Hasan Khan ,Aroob. . 77p. ; , Cancer and its reoccurrence have become a major health problem affecting the quality of life for millions of individuals every year. The currently available strategies, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have non-specific targets, lower solubility, and severe side effects. Hydrogels are crosslinked polymeric networks with higher swelling properties, degradation, biocompatibility, and flexibility which can be manipulated based on the desired application. Incorporating AV can elevate the antioxidant, and anticancer properties of the hydrogel based drug delivery system (DDS) also warranting enhanced swelling, drug release, and environmental degradability of the system. Acrylic acid (AA) induces pH-responsive properties in the hydrogels. The PVA/SA and PVA/SA/AV hydrogels were synthesized with a pH responsive behavior and investigated at different pH conditions. The unloaded and loaded PVA/SA and PVA/SA/AV hydrogels with imatinib (IM) were characterized for their structural morphology, physiochemical characteristics, and antioxidant and anticancer activity. The IM loaded PVA/SA/AV hydrogels showed increased pore size in SEM micrographs, enhanced swelling abilities up to 400%, 100% degradation, 56% encapsulation efficiency, and drug release profiles of up to 94% in 24 h, compared to PVA/SA hydrogels loaded with IM. Dpph radical scavenging activity was also observed to be enhanced in PVA/SA/AV hydrogels. Finally, the cell viability analysis in resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines exhibited 41% cell viability of the PVA/SA/AV hydrogels loaded with IM implying a promising potential of AV to be incorporated in a hydrogel based drug delivery system for targeting drug resistance in cancer. 30cm..
