The paper shows how one can surpass “the front” (Goffman, 1956) of classroom and pedagogical spaces through intersectional positionality and facilitating enduring learning experiences for students and how one can understand individuals’ social identity through curricular experiences (Wortham, 2006) using a certain “pedagogical intent” (Van Manen, 1991), intersectional contextualised methodology (Farooqi, 2020), and democratic pedagogical situations (Apple & Beane, 2006).

This study investigates the thermal stratification characteristics of a single-medium sensible heat storage tank. The thermal energy storage (TES) system under investigation comprises a vertical cylindrical tank fitted with an immersed discharging coil. The study considers three different discharging coil configurations (helical, conical, and inverted conical). A commercial silicone oil (Hytherm 600) is used as the heat storage medium in the tank, and water serves as the discharging fluid.

 In this first spectroscopic investigations on  building materials from the Ahom Dynasty (1600-1900 AD). In this study  We report the application of spectroscopic techniques in  the evaluation of the deterioration of three culturally important historical monuments in India, built during 1600–1700 AD by the Ahom Dynasty (namely, Rang Ghar, Kareng Ghar, and Talatal Ghar).
