An Overview of Musical Therapy for Mind and Body Using Various Ragas | ||||||||
Cure the illness or diseases through medicine is a main part of healing process but body and mind
response to healing process plays the major role for complete heal. The research work the body and mind
response to healing process for a particular illness or diseases with musical therapy is a new domain. In
musical therapy Identifying which rage for a particular healing illness or diseases, how much time to play and
what time to play are the challenging issue. The mentioned challenges were addressed by notes or swara
movement of raga which can be adopt feature extraction techniques from Digital Signal Processing and
classification of raga play to a particular healing illness or diseases through various machine learning
algorithm. The research work carried on feature extraction techniques from Digital Signal Processing and
classification of raga play through various machine learning algorithm review literature and percentage of
accuracy in each technique are presented in this paper.
Disease, Music Therapy, Raga, Feature exaction by digital Signal Processing, Machine Learning

Self-cleaning concrete doped with nano and micro-size zinc oxide particles | ||||||||
Nano- and micro scale zinc oxide (ZnO) particles were added to a concrete mix to study the effect on the self-cleaning ability of concrete given ZnO'photocatalytic abilities. Real sunlight was used to mimic environmental conditions, and two organic dyes (rhodamine B) and (methylene blue) were utilized as a model for organic pollutants in the air. ZnO particles were prepared in different concentrations (3, 6, 9, 12, 15%) in a proportional ratio to the cement. The results indicated that 6% microscale ZnO was the optimal amount to remove rhodamine B, with the removal efficiency reaching up to 94.5%, and 3% micro ZnO was optimal to remove methylene blue with removal reaching 87%. In contrast, 15% was the optimum concentration of nanoscale ZnO to remove both rhodamine B and methylene blue, with removal efficiency reaching up to 90% and 84.4%, respectfully. Scanning tunneling electron microscopy was used to see ZnO particle distribution on the surface of the prepared concrete.

Further Characteristic Analysis of the High-Power AC Plasmatron | ||||||||
With our previous publication, characterization of the high-power arc-jet plasma torch was
studied. This article attempts to carry out further characterization of the plasma jet using different
experimentalresults mainly obtained from different distances ofoptical emission spectroscopy (OES) and
different arc power values. Plasmatron works under atmospheric (about one atm) pressure with high-power
three phase alternating-current (AC) established in AR&TeCS (ARTECS Anadolu R&D Technology
Engineering and Consultancy Company, Ankara University Technopolis). In order to characterize the plasma,
the electron temperature (Te) and electron density (ne) were determined by using OES in the range 200 – 1100
nm as defined in the experiment section.......

Evaluation of Ground water Quality and its Suitability for Drinking and Irrigation at Nekemte, East wollega zone, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia | ||||||||
The study was conducted to evaluate the groundwater quality in order to analyze the suitability of
the water for drinking and Irrigation uses in the Nekemte Town of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Water
samples were purposively collected from hand dug bore holes, hand dug wells, protected spring and pipe borne
water and analyzed following standard methods for the examination of water quality (APHA, 2005). The study
examined selected physical, chemical and biological qualities of water from hand dug bore holes, hand dug
wells, protected spring and pipe borne. The water samples were analysised for Temperature, pH, turbidity,
dissolved oxygen, conductivity, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, bicarbonate, carbonate, total hardness
and selected cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and K+) and anions (Cl- and SO4
2-), heavy metals (Mn2+ and Fe2+) and

Reproducing Photonic Radio-Frequency Memory Based on Multicore Fibers | ||||||||
A novel photonic radio-frequency memory design based on microwave photonics and multicore
fiber techniques is developed and investigated. The results of the prototype examination as compared to the
known versions Photonic radio-frequency memory showed that the adopted design concept allowed to ensure a
sufficiently deep memorization of the input radio-frequency signal, to increase the number of reproduced delay
gradations, and to successfully process all the radar's radio frequency pulse width, which extends from several
hundred of nanoseconds to tens of microseconds, in a multi-octave RF operating range.
