  Abstract
  In this presented work we study the characteristics, features and occurrence rates of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) and interplanetary shock during the rising phase of solar cycle 23 (January 1996–December 2000) and 24 (January 2008– December 2012). In particular, we give a detailed list of such events, in this given list, based on in situ observations, we consist a subsets of interplanetary shock, ICMEs and magnetic clouds corresponding with intense/ super-intense geomagnetic storms. Here we select total 67 geomagnetic storm events (50 events for solar cycle 23 and 17 events for solar cycle 24) which have Dst ≤ -75 nT. In our analysis we found that there were differences in the general properties of ICMEs between the SC 24 rising phase and same phase of the solar cycle 23. It is concluded that the geomagnetic storms during solar cycle 23 and 24 are such intense due to four major interplanetary structures (Interplanetary shock, ICMEs and magnetic clouds, southward component of IP magnetic field). On the comparison of solar cycle 23 and 24, we observed that the during the rise phase (first 5 years) of solar cycle 24, the Geomagnetic activity levels were lower than the comparable period of solar cycle 23 and ICME activities were less in the sunspot cycle 24 compared to cycle 23 during rising phase.

  Abstract
  In this analysis, ZnS nanoparticles have been synthesized by (2, 4 and 6 hours) different hours by solid state reaction method. The obtained ZnS nanoparticles have been characterized through XRD, FTIR, UV-Visible, PL, SEM and TEM measurements. The foremost intense broad peaks in the diffraction outline reveal the crystalline nature of prepared samples with the crystal size is approximately 3.68 nm. The optical bandgap has been evaluvated in the Uv-Vis. absorption spectrum which is found to be about 3.66 eV. The PL emission shows the blue green emission. SEM and TEM show the spherical shape of the ZnS nanoparticles. Photocatalytic activity of ZnS was evaluated by irradiating the solution of natural dye methyl orange (MO) in presence of solar light.

  Abstract
  The Effective atomic numbers Z¬¬eff , Electron density Ne and CT numbers of skeletal muscle relaxants tubocurarine chloride, gallamine triethiodide, pancuronium bromide, suxamethonium bromide and mephenesin for total and coherent, incoherent, photoelectric absorption, pair production in atomic and nuclear field photon interaction have been calculated in the wide region 1keV to 100GeV. The molecular, atomic, electronic cross sections are calculated using mass attenuation coefficient of relaxants obtained by running WinXCOM programme and finally Z¬¬eff , Ne and CT number of the relaxants have been estimated. The Z¬¬eff , and Ne have found to vary with energy and composition of the relaxants and this variation is shown graphically for all photon interaction. Even CT numbers are also not remaining constant with energy. The significance of CT number in visualizing the image of the biological samples is discussed particularly in the low energy region as this region is extensively used in the medical radiology. This helps in cross-sectional image of internal organs in the field of medicine for diagnosing the diseases. The CT number is not only outlining the inhomogeneities of the tissues but also give the direct information of the tissue electron density from which accurate corrections can be made by suitable treatments

  Abstract
  The wet chemical method has been implemented to synthesize CuO nanostructures at 1000C. The monoclinic phase structure of CuO nanostructures has been affirmed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern. Crystal size and dislocation density of the nanostructures have been calculated from XRD data. UV-visible absorption spectra have been used to estimate band gap of the prepared CuO nanostructures. The refractive index and dielectric constant of CuO nanostructures have been calculated from band gap which shows an increase with the decrease of the band gap. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) has been used to inspect the crystals’ surface morphology

  Abstract
  The experimentation on solar absorber and collector is mandatory so as to have their effective utilization in energy intensive sectors. In this connection, experimentation in connection with the characterization of nano carbon and Cr2O3 (60:40) coated solar absorber was carried out. In addition, experimentation in connection with the estimation of efficiency of solar collector and device was carried out as per BIS specifications. The outcomes of experimentation on solar absorber revealed that the crystallite sizes in the carbon and Cr2O3 (60:40) coating on absorber were in nano ranges. The outcomes of experimentation on solar collector and device revealed that the instantaneous thermal performances of solar flat plate collector ranged between 66.9% and 68.6% and energy collection efficiency of solar heating device was 51.4%. As the thermal performances of the solar collector and device could distinctively depend on the optical characteristics of the absorbers, it could be concluded that nano carbon and Cr2O3 (60:40) coated solar absorbers would be effectively used in solar collectors and heating devices.

  Abstract
  In this paper, a dual-band microstrip patch antenna is designed and analyzed using metamaterial. The proposed antenna is tuned to work at two resonating frequencies in the frequency range from 1GHz to 5GHz. The antenna characteristics are studied before and after inclusion of metamaterial .we have also introduced Nicolson Ross-Weir method (NRW) method to achieve effectively the double- negative properties of the proposed metamaterial structure. The proposed rectangular microstrip patch antenna operates at the resonant frequency of 3.7GHz with a return loss of -37.24 dB.In addition to rectangular microstrip patch`s fundamental resonance; the additional resonance is obtained at 3.45GHz with a return loss of -36.4dB. To satisfy the demand of commonly used wireless communication systems, the metamaterial structure with microstrip patch antenna is designed with enhanced characteristics and exhibits dual bands. Hence the proposed antenna shows good results and can be effectively utilized for WLAN and RF-ID applications and mobile communication.

  Abstract
  In this study, nanocomposites of CuSxO(1-x) (with x values 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) was prepared by simple microwave assisted solvothermal method using distilled water as solvent. The as-prepared samples are annealed at 200 °C. They were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements. The PXRD results demonstrate that the end members of CuSxO(1-x) nanocomposites (for x = 1.0 and 0.0) has hexagonal structure of CuS and monoclinic structure of CuO respectively. The middle composition of CuSxO(1-x) nanocomposites (for x = 0.8, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.2) has mixed phase of hexagonal and monoclinic structures, which confirms the formation of CuSxO(1-x) nanocomposites. The average crystallite size was calculated from Scherrer equation. The VSM measurements of all the proposed samples indicate the paramagnetic nature. The results obtained were reported and discussed herewith.

  Abstract
  The present investigation represents the study the role of Non-Viscous and Viscous Holographic Dark Energy (HDE) and Dark Matter (DM) for a homogeneous anisotropic Bianchi type-II, type-VIII and type-IX cosmological models within the frame work of a maximal coupling between geometry and matter represented by theory of gravity proposed by Harko et al. [6] exploring the consequences of the coupling of matter with the geometry of the Universe instead of taking the interaction between HDE and DM (assuming that only HDE of total matter couple with geometry). In which we observed that the Hubble horizon as an IR cut-off is suitable for both the models to explain the recent accelerated expansion of the Universe

  Abstract
  In combinational logic system, multiplexer is an important part where one can select a particular input in the output side. The specific optical input to be selected at the exit side of the scheme is determined by the control or select channel. Here, 2:1 optical multiplexer is proposed by using the coupling action of the optical pulse of a biased optical coupler. The electro-optic nature of the optical wave guide are massively used to convert the optical pulse into optical soliton pulse. Optical soliton pulses are used here as a substitute of ordinary optical pulse as the information carrier due to some superior character of the soliton pulse. Before introducing in the coupling region. Optical pulse should be converted into solitonic one. Such category of multiplex system may be used for ultra-high speed remote operation and for high secure communication system.

  Abstract
  Aniline was electrochemically synthesized with K2Cr2O7, K2CrO4, and FeCl3 as oxidants and Polyaniline (PANI) films is prepared. Electrochemical cell was used for deposition of monomer, oxidants and dopant in galvanostatic technique. ITO coated glass plate has been used as a working electrode, platinum foil as a counter electrode and Ag/AgCl as a reference electrode. The electrolyte solution was prepared in deionized water with optimum parameter viz. pH, potential, conductivity. After synthesis of composite films by galvanostatic electrochemical technique it was focused to various characterizations such as FTIR, UV-vis. spectroscopy and SEM etc. For comparative study it has been finding that FeCl3 is best supporting electrolyte for PANI.
