	M Sai Baba International Widows' Day https://niascomm.in/2024/06/23/international-widows-day/ Scicom@NIAS The impact of the loss of a partner is devastating. When it comes to women, it gets magnified due to the long-term struggle for their fundamental rights and dignity. Armed conflicts resulted in displacement, and in more recent times, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an enhanced number of people losing their partners. In 2010, the UN adopted June 23 as the International Widows Day. What can we do? Be empathetic and understand. Enhance awareness, advocacy, social support, and empowerment, and push governments to implement policy reform.

Springer, Singapore. It is necessary to consider alternate fuels for ICE-based vehicles to achieve decarbonization in India’s road transport sector. This study discusses the ICE-based alternate fuel options (natural gas, auto-gas and hydrogen) in the light of 28 identified parameters under the 4A framework of energy security, encompassing technical availability, resource availability, infrastructure accessibility, price affordability, social acceptability and environmental acceptability.
	Rudrodip Majumdar Thermal stratification characteristics during simultaneous charging and discharging for different storage tank geometries with immersed discharging coil https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359431123002648 Co-authored with Hitesh Khurana and Sandip K. Saha. Applied Thermal Engineering Vol, 225: 120235 dictate the efficacy of low-to-medium temperature hot water applications. This study uses a three-dimensional numerical model to investigate the thermal characteristics of three storage configurations for simultaneous charging and discharging. The same tank volume and height, as well as the same coil tube dimensions, are considered for three different configurations - cylindrical tank with a helical discharging coil, as well as circular truncated cone-shaped and paraboloidal tanks with conical discharging coils. The discharging flow rate is varied for a deeper understanding of the realistic interplay between energy demand and supply. Results obtained for the cylindrical tank are found to have good agreement with the observations from the in-house experiments. The energy stored, discharging coil outlet temperature, and the extent of thermal stratification decrease with increasing coil flow rate, whilst discharging efficiency and primary thermocline thickness increase. The paraboloidal tank equipped with a conical discharging coil exhibited the highest cumulative energy stored (8821 kJ) just before the commencement of dynamic dual operation, owing to the minimal thermal losses attributable to the lowest surface-area-to-volume ratio. Thermocline thickness is found to expand with time for all the cases, and the highest thermocline thickness expansion rate of 0.208 mm/s is found for the cylindrical tank indicating a higher degree of energy degradation. The peak values for the cumulative energy discharged (9788 kJ), and average discharging efficiency (0.36) occurred for the paraboloidal tank with the conical discharging coil configuration. Based on the detailed analyses, the paraboloidal storage tank configuration is found to exhibit better system reliability and energy management, leading to more efficient heat dispatch controllability due to the enhanced energy harnessing features.
