An overview of the mechanical properties of textile fiber materials is presented herein, including fiber strength, elongation, elasticity, wear resistance, modulus of elasticity, and other properties of non-conventional fiber materials (hemp, flax, jute, wood fiber, rice husks, straw wheat, oats, bagasse, barley, grass reeds, banana fiber, oil palm, empty fruit bunch, coir, sisal, cotton, kenaf, ramie, water pennywort, paper-mulberry, kapok, abaca, pineapple leaf fiber and Lotus fiber). Recent research has shown that these materials are more attractive to scientists than fiber reinforced composites due to their low cost, non-abrasive, and eco-friendly benefits. By developing biodegradable composites, natural fibers could be an important solution to solving current ecological and environmental issues. We have conducted a brief overview of natural fibers, as they are abundantly available in India out of which approximately 13.5 million tons of bananas are produced every year in India. The fiber from bananas is used as a raw material for some industrial products like paper, tea bags, currency, and polymer composites. The normally treated banana fiber retained a higher mechanical strength than the artificially treated strands. As far as synthetic way of behaving, the examples that were blended in with banana tree trunk debris precisely and other synthetically treated normal examples created outcomes that were exceptionally near conventional treated compound source samples. Hence, the utilization of eco accommodating wet technology innovation, for example, banana tree trunk debris preparation in form of ash, which can considerably lessen the utilization of synthetic compounds in the process for scouring system of materials. In this article we also find evidence that natural fibers can be used as reinforcement in polymer composite materials. They are a low-cost, renewable alternative to synthetic fibers. In contrast to synthetic fibers, banana fiber has certain advantages including low density, low cost, non-toxicity, comparable strength, and effortless disposal, yet with fiber treatments it can enhance the mechanical properties. It is reviewed in this paper how banana fibers differ in use, application and properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hindi is the third largest spoken language in the world and first in India. Addressing research and applications in natural language processing, Hindi, the dominant language in India, is still in its infancy. Hindi title generation is a crucial process that should be taken into consideration for any given story or document. This paper describes the automatic generation of title for a given text in Hindi. We have designed a system which generates the title relevant to the text or story and preserves the central theme. In the proposed system four algorithm are designed after performing the analysis of various text and stories of Hindi. The title will be created by the first algorithm using the utmost priority nouns. Second algorithm will generate the title as the combination of adjective and noun. Third algorithm is based on the proverbs present in the text and the last algorithm is based on the set of keywords present in the text or story. This system first tokenizes the text and then apply the tagging for identifying the nouns, pronouns, adverbs, adjectives etc., and then by applying different designed algorithms suggests the title of the text or story given by the user. Using 10 stories through a well-known Hindi text collection, the proposed approach is tested. Eight of the ten titles it produces are accurate. Second, a group of users, including Hindi teachers and academics, test the system. Their reviews and opinions indicate that the proposed strategy produces findings that are pertinent and is effective. The size of the story affects how well the system works. The most pertinent titles can then be chosen. This approach can be used by Hindi students who are still learning the language, as well as by novelists, newspapers, and magazines to produce titles at random for them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Presently the perception of sustainability has been dominant in the field of agriculture. Sustainable agriculture means economical agriculture by following the practices which are eco-friendly. This results in increasing the attention of the stakeholders for monitoring as well as evaluating the practices being used in agriculture. It is realized that there are many limitations to creating a commonly accepted term for sustainable agriculture. So many opinions are there with reference to the realization of sustainable agriculture. In this work, we present the concept of sustainable agriculture and the methods as well as practices that are economically feasible, eco-friendly and shield public health. A special attention is given towards the use of nanotechnology for sustainable agriculture. As such, most of the rural people, particularly the young generation, are not interested in farming as there is no certainty in the output and if at all output becomes favorable, getting the appropriate price is a point of concern. Existing farmers in India are using fertilizers and pesticides which are not cost-effective owing to the price and usage of improper quantum. Moreover, they are also becoming the main source of pollution and health hazards. The dual problem of the usage of fertilizers and pesticides can be addressed by nanoscience by way of providing nanomaterials like nano fertilizers and nano pesticides having better potential to perform. The use of nano fertilizers like N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Mo and carbon nanotubes facilitates more efficiency as they stand for enhanced action and targeted delivery efficiency. Similarly, the use of nano pesticides like Ag, Cu, SiO2, ZnO and nano formulations also has the potential for escalated performance as compared to traditional pesticides. Considering the potential of the nanomaterials, this paper is highlighting how nano fertilizers and nano pesticides can help the Indian agriculture to be sustainable. For this purpose, existing literature has been the base. Similarly, this paper also unfolds the level of acceptability of nanomaterials by the Indian farmers which have been ascertained by way of personal interaction with 100 farmers of Odisha. It is inferred that, with the immense potential of the nanomaterials and the positive perception of Odisha farmers on them, Indian agriculture can be sustainable with the help of nanotechnology. It is a fact that sustainable agriculture can turn the Indian rural economy around. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Seasonality fluctuations in a time series affect the asset classes in a particular way in terms of returns and movement trends for different asset classes. A time series may vary from being minute-wise, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually.This study has attempted to understand the coupled outcome of seasonality index, the standard deviation in monthly seasonality patterns, and the correlation of different asset classes to check the time series model's applicability and determine whether the time series model is stationary not. It has analyzed trends in the asset classes when the series is deseasonalized if seasonality is present. Usually, seasonal and non-seasonal components are already enbibed as values follow random-walk, so the time series is majorly categorized as non-stationary. The paper discovers and forms any available relation between asset classes and seasonality at regular intervals. Analyzing seasonal patterns is vital. It provides valuable information to potential investors, and analyzing seasonality concerning the Indian market is vital. Trend analysis of various stock markets has been incorporated in many studies, but considering all asset classes for the Indian economy is rare. It helps readers understand how an asset's monthly and yearly seasonality will affect asset classes' movement. The paper uses four major asset categories for the study. The seasonality between asset classes is not that evident across all the asset classes. However, certain assets tend to show the correlation between periods and the price of a certain asset.
