Editor’s Note

Abstract

Generation and sharing of knowledge gained through research activities is a fundamental basis of the development of science and technology. Publication of research papers in a peer-reviewed professional journal is a basic parameter of the achievements of scientists and technical human resources around the world; publication of original research papers is an undisputed method of sharing knowledge among the peers. Institutes like Nepal Engineering College has been providing a platform sine 1995 to the scientists and engineers by regular publication of SCITECH Nepal Journal, and thereby creating an avenue of sharing research experiences.

This issue of SCITECH Nepal Journal has attracted the more scientists and engineers from different universities and research institutes of Nepal to publish their research papers. The readers will find a large spectrum of interesting and useful disciplines covered in this volume of the Journal. The areas covered range from biology, organic chemistry to the emerging technological issues like the artificial intelligence, including the computer modeling of multistoried structures to find techniques to enhance seismic safety.

The paper contributors are the ultimate backbone and heroes of the success of SCITECH Nepal. The editorial board has done an excellent job to ensure quality of the published research papers. I am sure the readers of this volume of SCITECH Nepal will find the contents highly satisfying and worthy of their time invested in reading the papers.

Wish you all a very Happy New Year 2024.
