A tool for portraying several real networks is a fuzzy graph. The fuzzy graphs are merely suitable to depict some networks due to various edge limitations. The expected results of research on a variety of applications remain highly outgoing and might be surpassing. In the present article, we analysed the centrality of the community networks utilizing a Generalized Fuzzy Digraph (GFD) to figure out who make use of the Telegram channel vigorously for the preparation of NET examination. Utilizing the cartesian product the three values are turned into one value for fuzzification, leading to the values to get fuzzified. This paper applies GFD to demonstrate an application to identify the central individual in any social group such as Telegram, Facebook, Instagram etc., which provides a best result in many crucial situations.

Nanomaterials have vibrant properties and it has been used for varied applications in worldwide. Nowadays, humans have started loving nature which provides health benefits without side effects. This study contributes to a survey of naturally derived nanoparticles which are beneficial to various applications. Moringaceae is the family name of Moringa pterygasperma lam and it is the superfluous name for Moringa oleifera. Moringa pterygasperma lam is a naturally available plant resource that has anti-microbial, anti-bacterial and photocatalytic properties. The extracts of seeds, gum, leaves, drumsticks, and roots, are used to prepare nanoparticles by green method that can be used in food packing, medical and environmental applications. The extracts of the plant parts were used as a reducing agent to synthesize nanoparticles from metal ions to metal. Also, it is used as a stabilizing and capping agent during their synthesis. The formation of metal nanoparticles was confirmed by the result of UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed less than 100 nm in size.

Holarrhena pubescens Wall. (Apocyanaceae) plant is used in traditional systems (Ayurvedic) of medicine, to treat various diseases. The preliminary phytochemical screening of this plant showed positive results for protein, alkaloid, flavonoid and phenolic compounds (ethanol and aqueous extracts of leaf and bark). In both the samples (leaf and bark), carbohydrates and tannin are present in the aqueous extract. Antibacterial activity of the ethanolic leaf extract showed notable activity than the aqueous extract against both tested organisms (Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli) at 100μl concentration.

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Nutri Podcast on Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Childhood Obesity among 7^th and 8^th Grade Students at Selected Urban and Rural Schools in Vedharanyam

A study to assess the effectiveness of Nutri Podcast on knowledge and attitude regarding childhood obesity among 7^th and 8^th grade students at selected urban and rural area schools in Vedharanyam. In this study a quantitative approach and quasi experimental design was adopted a study to assess the effectiveness of nutri podcast on knowledge and attitude regarding childhood obesity among 7^th and 8^th grade students at selected urban and rural schools in Vedharanyam. 150 students were selected by purposive sampling methods studying. In grades 7 and 8 at particular Vedharanyam schools who met the requirements for inclusion and exclusion. The Nutri Audio on eating behaviors and dietary patterns was given out, and the participants’ knowledge and attitudes were evaluated using a self-structured knowledge questionnaire on a 4-point Likert scale. The results of the tests were compared between the pre- and post-tests.

Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Corrosion Inhibition Performance of an Expired Drug on the Corrosion of Mild Steel in the Acid Media

Through weight loss, electrochemical impedance, and potentiodynamic polarisation techniques, the effectiveness of an expired drug in preventing the corrosion of mild steel in acidic environments was investigated. The concentration of inhibitor correlated with the corrosion inhibition efficiency, which peaked in both acid media at 100 μM. The compound is a mixed-type inhibitor of corrosion. The experimental data were connected with computed quantum chemical parameters. According to theoretical studies, the protonated form of corrosion inhibitor contributes more to the observed corrosion inhibition efficacy in acidic conditions than the neutral form.

Effectiveness of Nutri Shots on Weight Gain Pattern among Children Aged 4-5 Years at Selected Schools in Thiruvarur District

A study to assess and compare effectiveness of Nutri Shots on weight gain pattern among children aged 4-5 years. The quantitative approach and quasi experimental research design was adopted to assess effectiveness of Nutri Shots on weight gain pattern among 40 underweight children aged 4-5 years. The 40 underweight children were selected by purposive sampling method at selected schools in Thiruvarur district who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pretest weight gain pattern was assessed and supplementation of Nutri Shots for selected 40 underweight children aged 4-5 years was administered for a period of 30 days and posttest level of weight gain pattern was explored. The study results revealed that the posttest mean weight gain pattern score was 14.81 with S.D of 2.01. The calculated unpaired ‘t’ value (t = 8.561) of pre and posttest level of weight gain pattern indicates there was highly statistical significance at p<0.0001 among underweight children aged 4-5 years. The results find that Nutri Shots was effectively increasing the weight pattern of underweight children aged 4-5 years and can be further utilized as a preventive measure in percluding malnutrition.
