Proof of Beal-Conjecture & Nature of Beal equation with respect to its exponents when bases are prime to each other[ ]


This paper contains the proof of Beal-conjecture. In my first publication in August 2013 and in subsequent developments thereafter through publication of papers in so many bouts, I have been claiming the proof with the saying of following facts and figures. Sum or difference of two odd numbers (say a & c) is an even number (say b) , (a, b, c) = 1, where a produces power by virtue of Ndoperation and c produces power by virtue of Ns-operation. B produces power completely in separate manner which will be shown in this paper.

Isolation and Evaluation of Horse Grass Fiber (Andropogon tectorum) for Lignin Production[ ]


The aim of this study is to Isolate and purify lignin from non-wood cellulosic biomass (Horse grass fiber) by methanol/water pulping method. The Horse grass fiber was pulped by varying the time of cooking 30, 60, 90, and 120min with 1:3 methanol/water at 1050C. Isolated lignin was purified to remove impurities and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis to compare thermal properties and chemical composition. It was found that lignin obtained from methanol as a solvent mixed with water 1:3, at 105°C for 1h provided the highest yield of the same sources, most thermally stable and purity. With the above characteristics it is concluded that horse grass is another good sources of lignin production.

Tracking of Fading Channels Using Combination of NLMS and RLS[ ]


Adaptive filters combination approach provides the diversity that can be used to amplify performance beyond the ability of individual adaptive filter. This paper presents the tracking behavior of the combination of Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algorithm and the Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm in nonstationary environment modeled as time-varying Rayleigh sequences arising due to different Doppler shifts. The main performance metrics to evaluate the techniques are the mean squared error and mean squared deviation. Simulation results validate the superiority of combining NLMS and RLS over component algorithms, regarding fast convergence and reduced steady state MSE.
