Study of the Electronic Charge Distribution for a Structural Configuration of the Liquid Silica Through Classical and ab-initio Molecular Dynamic Simulations[ ]


A combination of classical and ab-initio molecular dynamics computer simulations will be done to a system of silica atoms in order to generate a structural configuration in the liquid phase. In the first method, the effective classical potential (B. P. Feuston and S. H. Garofalini, J. Chem. Phys. 89, 5818 (1988)) and in the second one, the pseudopotencials of N. Trouiller and J. L. Martins (N. Trouiller, J. L. Martins, Phys. Rev. B 43, 1993 (1991)), will be used. We will begin by melting one of the crystalline silica forms, beta cristobalite, to 3400 K and then it will be permitted to acquire a thermal equilibrium (equilibration) at this temperature; all of this will be done with classical molecular dynamic simulations. Later we will cool it at 2200 K, in order to obtain that we will perform a strategic and systematic combination of two methods. In the stage of the equilibration and cooling to the system will be placed in a geometric arrangement denominated “sandwich”, which will generate a surface-type structural configuration. This form of obtaining the surface will permit to make ab-initio calculations in a way that the properties of the surface can be analyzed in a detailed form.

Air Pollution Tolerance Index of some selected medicinal plants around oil-producing Community of Asah, Abia State, Nigeria[ ]


Air pollution causes harm to plants and other living organisms or damage to the environment. It may cause diseases, allergies or death in humans; it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural or built environment. Human activity and natural processes can both generate air pollution. Plants play a key role in the control of air pollution; hence they may be adversely affected especially in their phytochemical constituents which are the bedrock for their therapeutic uses as alternative medicines. In this study, four biochemical parameters (relative water content, total chlorophyll content, pH, and ascorbic acid content) were used to determine the air pollution tolerance index (APTI) of four selected medicinal plants around oil-producing community of Asaa, Abia State, Nigeria. The four plant species used were Mangifera indica, Anacardium occidentale, Azadiractaindica, and Carica papaya. These plants were selected based on their relative abundance in the area under investigation. The result showed the APTI values of the plant specimen as follows: Mangifera indica (7.38), Anacardium occidentale (7.41), Azadiracta indica (4.53), and Carica papaya (6.99). This indicates that the four plant specimen used were sensitive to air pollutants, hence can serve as bio-indicators.

A Review on Floating Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants[ ]


The limited fossil fuel resources and higher energy demand concentrates on solar energy, which is free of cost and unlimited source of energy, eco-friendly and sustainable to the environment. But during the execution of the solar projects on land, problems are faced by the government and partners of the scheme such as land availability, land development & land acquisition, substation capacities, evacuation also timely clearances for the project on land and evacuation - these are hurdles for completion of the project. Most of the locations projected by the government considering solar radiation data in the country are hot and dry regions. Though at these locations the radiation appeared to be higher, the energy yield of these points is less due to heating of the solar panels and higher temperature of the surface of solar cells. To overcome these problems an innovative idea has come in front for installation of solar power plants on the water that is canal tops, water bodies, lakes, dam backwater and reservoirs, which generally belongs to the government. This paper reveals review regarding the floating solar PV power plants installed in the world.

Periocular Biometrics for Human Recognition[ ]


Periocular Biometrics provides a secure method of authentication and identification. Biometric data are difficult to replicate and steal. Unique identifiers include fingerprints, earlobe geometry hand geometry, retina and voice waves iris patterns, DNA, and signatures. This paper is based on Periocular biometric human recognition, which is the appearance of the region around the eye. Periocular recognition may be very useful in applications where it is difficult to obtain a clear picture of iris for periocular biometrics or a complete picture of a face for periocular biometrics. Acquisition of the Periocular biometrics is demand high user cooperation and close capture distance. This region usually encompasses the eyelids, eyebrows, eyelashes, and the neighbouring skin area. Periocular biometrics encompasses the information of face recognition and iris recognition system. In this paper, the Local Binary Pattern and Histogram of Oriented Gradients are used for the feature extraction on the Periocular images. LBP is a type of feature used for classification in computer vision and a potent feature for texture. we will use different feature extraction techniques such as LBP, PCA, and ICA for pre-processing of periocular biometrics. Comparative Analysis with other competent technologies is also the essential part of this research work. For an effective classification and recognition of an authorized individual Back propagation neural network (BPNN) classifier is used.

Petrography of the Barail Sandstones Occurring in and around Mandardisa, North Cachar Hills, Assam, India[ ]


Petrographic studies of the Barail Sandstone occurring in and around Mandardisa of North Cachar Hills, Assam, India have been carried out to determine the mineralogical classification, diagenesis, tectonic setting, palaeoclimate and provenance of the sediment. Quantitative mineralogical classification shows that the sandstones are mostly quartzose arenite and sub-litharenite types and are mineralogically sub matured to matured. These sandstones have shown all stages of diagenesis. Triangular plots of quartz, feldspar and rock fragment population in the sandstones show that the sediments were derived from recycled orogen provenance of a fold thrust province or a collision suture zone. From the climatic study, it is observed that the sediments suffered from subhumid to humid climatic conditions during deposition. From the provenance study, it is seen that the sediments of the sandstones were mostly derived from metamorphic and igneous source rocks transported from Eastern Himalaya and Indo-Burma ranges during Oligocene time. Few sediments were transported from Meghalaya Plateau of the neighbouring areas.

Kinetics and mechanistic studies of the dissociation of anthranilic-diacetato-2,2ï‚¢-dipyridyl chromium (III) dihydrated in acidic media[ ]


Acid catalysed dissociation of anthranilic-diacetato-2,2-dipyridyl chromium (III) dihydrated [Cr(atda)(dipyridyl)] hydrate has been studied kinetically in aqueous perchloric media over a temperature range 50-70º C, under these experimental conditions, the reaction occurs by acid assisted path only. According to the rate law: Rate = kH+ [Complex][H+], where kH+ is the rate constant for acid assisted path. Analysis of the rate data corresponding to kH+ path suggests that the reaction is first order in [HClO4] for the title complex and the chelate ring in 2,2-dipyridyl complex suffers one ended dissociation accompanied by protonation of the released end of the basic ligand which leads to a faster rupture of the remaining metal ligand bond leading to the complex loss of the ligand.

Quantitative Study of Multi-residue Levels of Organochlorine Pesticides in Soils of Cocoa Farms in Ekiti State, South Western Nigeria[ ]


Cocoa farmers in Ekiti State of Nigeria have actively used OCPs for decades without minding the possible residues on the farm products and soils. This study aim at investigating the occurrence and the levels of possibly used OCPs in soil of cocoa farms within the state. Soil samples from cocoa farms in Ekiti state, Nigeria were analysed for 14organochlorine pesticides residues using gas chromatograph (GC) coupled with electron-capture detector (ECD) after extraction and clean-up. The reliability of the analytical method was examined by spiking the soils with known concentration of the pesticides and analysed following similar procedures of extraction and clean-up. The percentage pesticides recovered from the spiked samples ranged from 82.2 to 93.2%. The analysed pesticides were predominantly present in the soil samples. The concentration of OCPs in the soil samples during the wet season ranged from below detection limit (BDL) to 487 µg/kg, while the dry season ranged from (BDL) to 894 µg/kg. Correlation analysis showed that the organic matter content of the soil samples appear to influence the retention of the organochlorine pesticides compounds as reflected in the significant positive correlation at (p < 0.05) between organic matter content and the mean total organochlorine pesticides in the soil. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant seasonal variation (p < 0.05) in α- BHC, lindane, δ-BHC, aldrin, endosulfan I, endosulfan II, endosulfan sulphate, p,p’-DDD and TOCP.

Impact of Hygrothermal and Pre-Loading Conditions on Flexural Modulus of GFRP Composites[ ]


Composites due to their extraordinary properties are used in many applications. Especially in ship building applications the use of sandwich and laminate composite is increasing progressively. This is due to the good resistance of composites under accelerated conditions of moisture and temperature for which ships are subjected in their life. This paper presents the experimental results on effect of Hygrothermal and preloading conditions on flexural modulus of GFRP sandwich structure. GFRP structures of two core thicknesses (8mm and 16mm) were submitted to two different exposure environments viz. immersion in water at room temperature and 45 ºC. Also three preloading conditions of 30%, 50% and 70% were applied for two durations of time i.e. 30 and 60 days. The results obtained are analysed for flexural modulus. The results show that the reduction in flexural modulus is more for 16mm core thickness; compared to 8 mm core thickness. It is also observed that the reduction in flexural modulus is directly proportional to exposure time, preloading conditions and exposure temperature. The maximum reduction of 52.95% in flexural modulus is found for 16 mm core thickness with 70% preloading, immersed in water at 45ºC temperature for two month duration.
