This document describes the design and development of an electrically powered reciprocating machine for breaking cocoa pods to extract cocoa beans.
The machine uses a reciprocating hammer powered by a 1hp electric motor to break cocoa pods placed in a hopper. As the hammer moves up and down, it breaks the pods against fixed angle bars, releasing the beans. The machine was designed, fabricated using locally available materials like mild steel, wood and tested. It achieved a 93% efficiency and 0% bean damage rate when processing 500 pods in batches of 100. The total production cost was estimated to be 56,000 Naira. The machine provides an improvement over manual pod breaking by reducing labor and potential for bean damage.

— This study is part of the valuation of the cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale L.). For this purpose, defatted cashew kernel flour (powder) has been incorporated into wheat flour for the production of breads. Composite flours containing 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of delipidated cashew kernel were analyzed for their physico-chemical and functional properties as well as the resulting loaves, for their sensory quality. The results showed that the substitution of wheat flour with cashew nuts flour increases the protein, fat, ash, fiber, energy and mineral content of wheat / cashew nut composites flours. However, this incorporation has resulted in a decrease in carbohydrate content. The study of the functional properties of composite flours showed that the substitution resulted in a significant increase (p <0.05) of the water absorption capacity (CAE) and oil (CAH) while the density decreased. Sensory tests indicated that there is a significant difference (p <0.05) between control bread and all composite breads. However, it is suggested that cashew kernel flour could be suitably incorporated into wheat flour up to a rate of 20%.
This presentation covers the post harvest technologies for food grain, spices, horticultural crops and also technologies for safe storage foods grains...........
Jute and Coir Products with Cultivation and ProcessingAjjay Kumar Gupta
Jute & Coir are one of the important fibre crops in India. India is the largest producer of Jute & Coir, contributing more than 60% of the total world production. Besides being the cheapest and the most important material of all textile fibers, Jute & Coir products are bio-degradable eco-friendly with numerous environmental advantages. The Demand of Jute and Coir Products are increasing rapidly because of their environment friendly nature. Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers and is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses of vegetable fibers. Jute fibers are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose and lignin. Jute is the name of the plant or fiber that is used to make burlap, hessian or gunny cloth. Coir is a versatile natural fibre extracted from mesocarp tissue, or husk of the coconut fruit. Generally fibre is of golden color when cleaned after removing from coconut husk; and hence named as “The Golden Fibre".

Melon shelling machine was designed, constructed and evaluated. Shelling
efficiency and cleaning efficiency were evaluated for on the machine. The design
adopted the method of shelling by attrition. The major machine elements of the
shelling machine are the hopper, shelling chamber and the separating chamber. The
hopper is made up of welded galvanized sheet slanted at 23⁰ which is the coefficient of
static friction of melon on galvanized sheet. The shelling chamber has an impeller
which consists of two circular disks with 24 vanes positions in between the disks. The
vanes are inclined at an angle of 45⁰ to the horizontal axis. The minimum power
required for the impeller was calculated to be 598.2W and the terminal velocity was
calculated to be 7.6 m/s. Evaluation was carried out for the machine shelling
efficiency and cleaning efficiency using three levels of moisture content (3.79% d.b.,
6.61% d.b. and 9.53% d.b.) and three levels of impeller speeds (800, 1000, and 1200
rpm). The results showed that the moisture content had a significant effect (at P<0.05)
on the shelling efficiency and cleaning efficiency. However, the impeller speed has a
significant effect only on shelling efficiency. The optimal values of the shelling
efficiency and cleaning efficiency were 39.1% and 70.3% respectively with machine
loss of 4.5% at 3.79% d.b. and 1200 rpm

“Design and Fabrication of Pedal Operated Groundnut Decorticator Machine”IJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT : In India, groundnut is grown on a small scale by farmer. The major problem in groundnut production in our country like India is the lack of groundnut processing machines available to farmers. The main aim of this project is to design and fabricates a low cost groundnut decorticator machine which will help small farmer to decorticate finished groundnut instead of unfinisheds groundnut. This groundnut decorticator machine works on quick return mechanism main working of this project. In which we made a pendulum with rubber pad is fitted on a shaft. The rubber pad is used for free crushing of groundnut and to reduce the damage of groundnut. If we go on continuous work we got greater output in very short time. The study reveal that pedal operated groundnut decorticator gave an output of 49 kg/hour which was more than hand operated decorticator. This machine requires less effort to decorticate groundnut with higher output. The performance of machine was evaluated in terms of throughput capacity, decorticating efficiency and damage percentage. By keeping this point in our mind we think that we should make such machine whose production capacity is more and machine get pedal operated. The small scale farmers and can start their business by investing less capital.
Design and Construction of Rice De Stoning Machineijtsrd
A rice de stoning machine was designed, fabricated and evaluated for performance. The de stoning machine will utilize vibrating motion to further separate the rice grains from the impurities. The vibration causes the rice grains to move in a specific direction, while the heavier impurities remain stationary. Mild steel was used in the construction of the machine. The machine is driven by a 2Hp electric motor with 1103W required power. Standard equations were used to determine the dimension of the pass and optimization of machine parameters such as air flow rate and vibration frequency. The effectiveness of the de stoning machine will be evaluated by testing its performance with different masses of rice samples and impurities. The machine has a capacity of 436.16Kg hr and an efficiency of 90.03 . A. E. Ilechukwu | S. E. Abonyi | A. E.

–Teaching English for the learners pursuing a
course in Engineering does not involve just the LSRW
skills. As it is a course in ESP, more specifically, EST
(English for Science and Technology), we as teachers are
more concerned of equipping them with the skills required
to face the challenges of their profession. The learners
have to face a cut-throat competition as the number of
learners puruing a course in Engineering is increasing year
by year and the companies rely on the professionals for an
extra edge of human skills. The selection process for a job
involves a screening test based on Group Discussions.
These discussions test the soft skills or human skills of the
candidates which are mainly based on their thinking
abilities. A problem is given to them and they are asked to
come to a common consensus as a team. The candidates
are required to employ creative thinking, divergent
thinking, logical reasoning, critical analysis etc. to
perform effectively. Till their graduation, the learners are
used to rote-learning from the (written) examination point
of view. The learners should be explained the importance
of thinking and brain storming at this stage. This paper is
based on the study undertaken by the researcher to
develop the thinking skills of the I year learners pursuing
a course in Engineering.
Nowadays people feel more comfortable to
use Android phone for their regular day-to-day activities.
Besides, it creates an easy access to achieve any goal in a
tight schedule. Along that, affordable smart-phone
technologies are introducing newer communication
possibilities that were not imaginable a few years back.
Considering the impact of this Android technology on
the students, we have designed and constructed an
Android application named ‘IUB - SECS’. The objective
was to build an effective application for students and
faculty members of Independent University, Bangladesh
to accomplish specific educational goals and duties by
using an Android application. By using this application,
students can find course information, lecture notes,
faculty information, research information and updated
results from outside the campus. On the other hand,
faculty members can use it for online attendance,
updating course materials, lecture notes and information
related to the course and university. The application will
provide users the opportunity to create a database, where
profile of faculty members and students can be stored
and through it students can directly contact with the
faculty members. The usability and effectiveness of this
application have been evaluated based on five different
users. The practical result shows that the outcome of this
application is very promising
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
