Scientists from the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST) have developed an equipment-free fluoride ion detection and quantification in drinking water with the naked-eye.
Fluorosis is a crippling disease resulting from deposition of fluorides in the hard and soft tissues of body due to excess intake of fluoride through drinking water/food products/industrial pollutants over a long period.
It results in dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and non-skeletal fluorosis.
According to WHO, the fluoride concentration in drinking water should not exceed 1.5mg/l.
The technology involves a push-pull chromophore based on 2, 3-disubstituted 1, 1, 4, 4-tetracyano-1, 3-butadienes (TCBDs) that changes colour upon exposure to fluoride ion.
Study planner is an invaluable tool for students, enabling them to assess
their strengths and weaknesses through tests. It calculates the optimal daily study time
required to cover the syllabus. This personalized approach enhances productivity and fosters
effective time management, ultimately boosting academic performance.
PERSONALISED TEST
A personalized test allows students to select their preferred topic and
subtopic from the curriculum. It generates a tailored examination by randomly selecting
questions related to their choices. This approach promotes engagement, reinforces specific
learning objectives, and fosters a deeper understanding of the material through active
participation in the assessment process.
PREDECTIVE ANALYTICS
The analytics system tracks the time spent and records correct answers for
all questions attempted. It compiles this data into analyses, offering students valuable
insights into their preparation, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and helping them
optimize their study strategies for improved performance.
