Abstract
Use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is becoming more and more difficult due to its increasing cost and probable harmful effects on crops as well as human health. This is the reason many farmers nowadays are opting organic farming. As a result, organic fertilizers and pesticides are more in demand. The current research evaluates the efficacy of 3 easily available organic fertilizers including Beej Sanjeevani (as a seed treating agent), Humaur (foliar spray) and Myceemeal (soil fertilizer). The crop used was Abelmoschus esculentus L.
Moench Var. Parbhani Kranti, commonly known as Okra or Bhindi. The effect of these fertilizers is determined by comparison of the Chlorophyll and β-Carotene content in treated and untreated plants, as well as cooking time taken by the pods of the treated and untreated plants. For determining the cooking time, four common methods of cooking were employeddeep fry, shallow fry, baking and steaming.
It was found that Humaur foliar spray gave the best results in terms of the pigment content as well as the cooking times, followed by Beej Sanjeevani seed treatment. Their results were also found out to be statistically significant, when compared to the control. Myceemeal and Myceemeal in combination with Humaur and Beej Sanjeevani, however performed poorly in the tests.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at understanding the diversity of Class-Insecta and Class-Arachnida of VPM’s Campus Thane. Total 133 insect species belonging to the 8 orders and 21 spider species from 7 families belonging to a single order Araneae have been recorded. Among insects, order Lepidoptera was found to be dominant which might be due to the presence of a variety of nectar and food plants. In the case of spiders, Family Salticidae was found to be dominant whereas the least number of spiders was represented by Family Sparassidae. Comparatively, it has been observed that insects were much diverse than spiders in the VPM’s Campus, Thane.
Abstract
Many students may find visual analogies useful aids to intuition and understanding in more abstract areas of physical theory, especially when dealing with electricity and magnetism. For the sake of this project, I will focus on
● Studying the analogy of a ball moving on a spinning saddle as a mechanical
representation of an ion in an RF-electric-quadrupole trap.
● Running Stimulation in Mathematica of Particular Saddle potential.
● 3d printing Saddle with known physical aspects.
● Building the Electronics Involved to vary speed of Saddle attached to DC motor and Measure RPM.
Although not a perfect analogue to the RF-electric-quadrupole ion trap, the spinning saddle has the advantage of being visible, tangible, and easy to manipulate without the need for complicated equipment.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Moringa oleifera is a source of abundant proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Proteins and vitamin C are important for human growth, survival, development and it participates in various biological processes.The body can store proteins, whereas the body
doesn't store vitamin C. Since vitamin C is eliminated in the urine and proteins are mainly used by the muscles, our diet requires an uninterrupted daily supply of both proteins and Vitamin C. Malnutrition is more prominent in poor masses caused by a dietary protein deficiency that is characterized by muscle loss, tiredness, depression, fluid retention or edema. In the present investigation, comparative study was carried out for the air, oven and
microwave dried leaves for estimation of Vitamin C and protein. The amount of vitamin C and protein in dry air method was observed to be higher compared to dried samples in the oven and microwave.Therefore, due to the increased preservation of vitamin C and the protein content of the dried samples, it is recommended that Moringa oleifera leaves be dried at ambient conditions.

Abstract
Since the industrial revolution, there has been a constant increase in global warming effect due to emission of CO2. Development of green belts in urban areas can act as an effective sink of CO2 and can help in managing extra carbon in the atmosphere. Thus green belts of cities are required to assess for carbon sequestration potential. For present work, the green
campus of Vidya Prasarak Mandal (VPM) of Thane (Maharashtra, India) has been selected. It is situated along the bank of Thane creek. It covers 13.5 acres in heavily polluted metropolitan city of Thane. It has a thick green cover of 398 trees that can bear considerable capacity to trap CO2 in the form of biomass. Hence carbon sequestration by trees of VPM campus is evaluated by a non destructive method. The study indicated considerable potential of VPM campuses to mitigate carbon of metropolitan cities.

Abstract
Aim of our work is to monitor the human heart rate of the patient. For a patient who is already diagnosed with fatal heart disease, their heart rate condition has to be monitored continuously. This paper proposed an alert system that is able to monitor the heart beat rate condition of patients. The heart beat rate is detected using photoplethysmograph (PPG) technique. This signal is processed using an ATMEL 89S52 microcontroller to determine the heart beat rate per minute. A desired amount of sensor value is set and if it is exceeded preliminary steps should be taken by the indicated LCD monitor. The EARTBEAT sensor information will be transmitted from the patient unit to the main controller unit with the help of a data communication system which is connected with the microcontrollers in the both
units. Thus, doctors can monitor and diagnose the patient's condition continuously and could
suggest earlier precaution for the patients themselves. This will also alert the family members to quickly attend the patient. The design method is developed in Embedded C and simulate in
KEIL and implemented on Microcontroller ATMEL 89S52.

Abstract
Dandruff is the major problem in today's world. One of the causes is a fungus Malassezia furfur. Medicinal plants are used by many ethnic groups as a source of medicine for the treatment of various ailments in humans. Lawsonia inermis or henna is used as a medicinal plant because it is attributed with strong medicinal properties. To check the antidandruff activity, aqueous and methanol extract of twig powder of Lawsonia inermis L. (Kalyan and
Jodhpur) were tested against Malassezia furfur using agar well method. Different concentrations of Lawsonia inermis L. were used to check the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC).

Abstract
The basic purpose of a Mirror is ‘to reflect’; it gives an image of whatever lies in front of it. The implementations of Science and Technology in our day-to-day activities make life more productive, efficient and raise our standard of living. We here have made an attempt to implement technology in a simple, plain yet widely used object, a Mirror. In our Smart Mirror Project, we have tried to upgrade the functions of a Mirror by displaying User defined information and Real Time and Date only when the mirror detects a presence in front of it. Thus, the Smart Mirror is an informative mirror which displays the data when it is triggered.
The Smart Mirror shows Real Time and Date, this was achieved by interfacing AT89S52 Microcontroller with Real Time Clock (RTC Module with DS1307) and a 16 x 2 LCD. Communication between the Microcontroller and RTC was done using I2C Protocol. Polarized glass in place of regular glass was used in order to display information on the mirror. An IR Sensor is placed at the top side of the mirror which triggers the Mirror ON.
