Abstract: India, with its ∼80% contribution to global agricultural produce, continues to hold the glory of being one among the top five agricultural nations1 . The Indian agricultural sector, employing ∼60% of the nation’s workforce2 , is ∼75% constituted by the economically weak3 marginal farmers4 . Despite the rising cases of ∼10,000 annual farmer suicides, they annually contribute ∼17% of the nation’s GDP4 . Such suicides could be attributed to rejections of indigenous produce5 , improper reach of governmental policies/funds to rural areas6, 7, and lack of funds to hire/rent and operate modern agricultural equipment6, 8. Since the harvest itself is tedious9 , the pollutionfree stubble management practices, despite ∼50–80% governmentalsubsidy, are avoided7 . Contrarily, the stubble/remnants are burnt8, 10, which is an offence under the Indian Penal Code’s Section 188 (ref. 11); the practice is widespread in regions around Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The aftermaths include: poor air quality index, reduced soil fertility, increased soil erosion12 and levels of (in million tonnes): CO2 – 150; CO – 9; SOx – 0.25; particulate emissions – 1; carbon soot – 0.5 (ref. 11); CH4 – hydrocarbons

Subject: Microplastics in human tissues: a growing concern
Keywords: None
Abstract: Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimetres in size that cause environmental and health concerns. The study of microplastics began in the early 2000s when researchers first identified these tiny particles in the ocean. Initially, the focus was on understanding their environmental impact on marine ecosystems, where plastic debris was causing widespread harm to aquatic life. With time, scientists realised that the issue extended far beyond the oceans. Evidence of microplastics was found in the air, soil and food products, which led to further investigation into the exposure of human populations. This raises alarms about potential long-term health effects1 . These particles come from everyday sources like contaminated food, water and air. Microplastics are common contaminants in urban environments.

Abstract: Large river systems constitute one of the most fundamental life-support systems that have sustained civilisations and are projected to be critical for the future sustenance of human civilisations. A river can be termed as a healthy ecosystem only when all flora and fauna in and along the river and the cultivation in flood plains are healthy, and the river morphology (in all three dimensions – plan, longitudinal and cross-sectional) is in equilibrium. River health assessment has many connotations as perceived by scientists from different disciplines, such as geomorphologists, ecologists, hydrologists and water quality experts. In a geomorphic context, the quantification of geomorphic change provides a useful platform for River Health Indices (RHI), whereas biological monitoring of river health has often been used to assign the health status in ecology. River health assessment generally focuses on integrating geomorphic and ecological data to evaluate whether river structure (includes river network, morphology, connectivity) is appropriate for its environmental/landscape setting for performing various functions, such as, sediment transport, nutrient cycling and energy exchange, support for riparian vegetation and ecosystem (in-channel and floodplain), maintaining longitudinal and lateral connectivity, and maintaining geodiversity and biodiversity. In large rivers exhibiting significant geomorphic diversity, it is imperative to design the criteria for river health assessment separately for different geomorphic settings.

Abstract: A computer cannot do any work on its own. It depends on the logical sequence of instructions to perform any function. This logical sequence of instructions is termed as a 'computer program', and it is a part of the computer software. Basically, the sequences of instructions are the algorithms that step-wise instruct the computer what to do. Hence, a computer cannot work without software. The term 'software' was first used in print by John W. Tukey in 1958.There are various types of software designed to perform specific tasks. The different types of computer software are interpreter, assembler, compiler, operating systems, networking, word processing, accounting into a machine language so that the computer can execute it.

Abstract: Memory is used for storage and retrieval of instructions and data in a computer system. The CPU contains several registers for storing data and instructions. You The basic input/output devices, such as keyboard, mouse, light pen, etc. The computer system is a dumb and a useless machine if it is not capable of communicating with the outside world. Memory is used for storage and retrieval of instructions and data in a computer system. The CPU contains several registers for storing data and istructions. But these can store only a few bytes. If all the instructions and data being executed by the CPU were to reside in secondary storage like magnetic tapes and disks and loaded into registers of the CPU as the program execution proceeded, it would lead to the CPU being idle for most of the time, since the speed at which the CPU processes data is much higher than the speed at which data can be transferred from disks to registers. Every computer thus requires storage space where instructions and data of a program can reside temporarily when the program is being executed. This temporary storage area is built into the computer hardware and is known as the primary storage or main memory. Devices that provide backup storage are called secondary storage or auxiliary memory.

Abstract: A number is an idea that is used to refer to amounts of things. People use number words, number gestures and number symbols. Number words are said out loud. Number gestures are made with some part of the body, usually the hands. Number symbols are marked or written down. number symbol is called numeral. The number is the idea we think of when we see the numeral or when we see or hear the word. You must be familiar with the decimal number system, which is well known as the base 10 number system. Some call its positional number system since the values of the numbers are decided by the position of the values, like units, decimals and hundreds. In other words, the value of the number is determined by multiplying each digit by a weight decided by its position and then adding the individual products. The weight is decided by the location as well as the base in which you want to represent the number. There are four systems of arithmetic, which are often used in digital systems. These systems are: In any number system, there is an ordered set of symbols known as digits. Collection of these digits makes a number which in general has two parts, integer and fractional, and are set apart by a radix point(.).

Abstract: A computer is machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions. The ability to store and execute a prerecorded list of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile. Hence, it is programmable electronic device and responds to a specific set of instructions and performs high-speed processing of numbers, as well as of text, graphics, symbols and sound. Modern computers are electronic and digital. The Central Processing Unit (CPU), wires, transistors, circuits, memory, peripheral devices, etc, are called hardware, while the instructions and data are software. Technically speaking, a computer is a programmable machine, which executes a programmed list of instructions and also responds to new instructions that are given to it. Basically, computers are of three types, digital, analog and hybrid. The digital computer stores data in discrete units and performs arithmetical and logical operations at very high speed. The analog computer has no mercy and is slower than the digital computer but has a continuous rather than a discrete input. The hybrid computer combines some of the advantages of digital and analog computers.
