Analysis of Thermal Conductance on a Two Stage Adsorption Chiller[ ]


Silica gel/water based adsorption cycles have a distinct advantage in their ability to be driven by heat of relatively low, near environment temperature so that waste heat below 100°C can be recovered, which is highly desirable. One interesting feature of refrigeration cycles driven by waste heat is that they do not use electricity or fossil fuels as driving sources and hence are energy savers. From this context, many researchers investigated the performance of advanced adsorption refrigeration cycle which can be operated by the heat source of near ambient temperature (60°C) with the cooling source temperature 30°C.

The experiment compares the changing mass of the earth between Perihelion (January) and Aphelion (July)[ ]


This is the 2nd year (July 2016) of a 2 year experiment I did to compare the mass of the earth at perihelion (earth nearest the sun) and aphelion (earth furthest from the sun). The results of the 2nd year experiment has confirmed my theory that the earth is slightly more massive around aphelion than at perihelion. I now have confidence that I can predict when the mass of the earth is greater or lesser. The results of both of these experiments (2015 & 2016) indicated that the earth is slightly more massive at aphelion ("test weight" 4511 grams than at perihelion ("test weight" 4505 grams) when considering the galactic motion of the sun. At aphelion the earth (fastest) is passing the sun in the sun's galactic orbit and at perihelion (early January) the sun is passing the earth (slowest).

Urbanization and change detection of Kirkuk City, Iraq for Developmental planning through integrated geoinformatics Techniques[ ]


Landuse is influenced by economic, cultural, political, and historical and land tenure factors at multiple scales. Land use refer to the type of utilization to which the man has put the land it also refer to the evaluation of the land with respect to various natural characteristic, but land cover describe the vegetal attribute of land. Land use and land cover data are essential for planner decision maker and those concerned to the land resource management (Ndukwe,1997) Since both landuse/landcover are closely related and are not mutually exclusive they are interchangeable as the former is inferred based on the land cover and on their contextual evidence.

Production and characterization of a bioflocculant produced by two bacterial strains by using Response surface methodology[ ]


Two very potentexopolysaccharidebioflocculantproducing strains were isolated from compost pit and named as JA1 and JA2. They were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequence method. FTIR analysis was done to confirm the presence of bioflocculant produced by the two bacterial strains. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the production medium for increasing biomass production for bioflocculant using a Plackett-Burman experimental design to aid in the first step of optimization. Edible glucose, magnesium sulphate and ammonium chloride were found to be significant factors affecting biomass production. Based on the response surface and canonical analysis, the optimum concentrations of the critical components were obtained as edible 9.7814 g/l glucose, 0.4887 g/l magnesium sulphate and 1.1704g/l ammonium chloride.

DISTURBANCE OF LIPOPROTEIN LIPASEAE (LPL) IN PATIENTS WITH GLOMERULONEPHRITIS CHRONICA[ ]


Glomerulonephritis is a group of diseases that injure the part of the kidney that filters blood (called glomeruli). Other terms you may hear used are nephritis and nephrotic syndrome. When the kidney is injured, it cannot get rid of wastes and extra fluid in the body. If the illness continues, the kidneys may stop working completely, resulting in kidney failure. There are two types of glomerulonephritis—acute and chronic. The acute form develops suddenly. You may get it after an infection in your throat or on your skin. Sometimes, you may get better on your own. Other times, your kidneys may stop working unless the right treatment is started quickly. What causes chronic glomerulonephritis?Sometimes, the disease runs in the family.

Carbon Capture and Storage[ ]


The blue planet is thawing and the consequences of climate changes could be detrimental, lest we act very soon it may well turn out to be a grey planet. What if we could prevent the CO2 released from entering the atmosphere? This idea is one of the hottest topics in the field of energy technology and is widely referred to as ‘‘carbon capture and storage/sequestration’’ or shortly CCS. It’s an innovative approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming. If statistics are candid then CCS will contribute to 1/6th of total CO2 emission reduction come 2050 – as quoted by the International Energy Association. CCS enables capture of CO2 from energy intensive industries viz. cement, iron and steel, chemicals and refining, its transport via ships and pipelines and its subsequent storage. The three methods employed for CO2 capture are pre-combustion, post combustion and oxyfuel. Pre-combustion and post combustion involves capturing CO2 before and after combustion respectively. The last method represents storing all the gases produced as a result after burning the fuel in more oxygen. Critics assert post-combustion as the best and there-by affirm it to be applied to any power plant burning carbon based fuel. The liquefied CO2 is transported and stored by EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) practicing companies for tertiary recovery by reducing the oil density and hence mobilizing the oil. These are also used for Enhanced Coal Bed Methane recovery (ECBM), for extracting methane gas. CCS involves storage in deep geologic zones like deep saline formations and depleted oil reservoirs. It is also deployed at commercial natural gas processing, fertilizers production, synfuel production and hydrogen production facilities. Its future endeavors includes storage in basalt and shale basins although much has not been said about the same. Currently, there are 12 active CCS projects, 8 of which are being practiced in US. Investment for carbon capture is scrutinized for being expensive and a wastage of money which could be utilized in perfecting renewable sources like wind energy and solar energy. Furthermore, there exists uncertainty in the CO2 storage regulations which leads to a hindrance in its investment. Is it worth it? It certainly is. How do we know if we don’t try? We ought to implement large scale CCS commercialization with further improvisation in face of what we will lose through climate disruptions.

Analysis of Noise Filtering and Speaker recognition[ ]


In this advance technical era being able to speak to your personal computer, and have it recognize and understand what you say, would provide a comfortable and natural form of communication. It would reduce the amount of typing you have to do, leave your hands free, and allow you to move away from the terminal or screen. You would not even have to be in the line of sight of the terminal. It would also help in some cases if the computer could tell who was speaking. If you want to use voice as a new medium on a computer workstation, it is natural to explore how speech recognition can contribute to such an environment. Here we will review the state of speech and speaker recognition, focusing on current technology applied to personal workstations. The objective of this paper is to provide some explanation of the speech and speaker recognition data input of the user. An algorithm which efficiently determines the optimum coordination with H.M.M has been successfully designed with the help of MATLAB. Authentication of the user can be determined by the threshold value being set by the standard variance.

GANDHI’S CONCEPT OF WOMANHOOD: A CRITICAL STUDY[ ]


In the present scenario the empowerment of women has become one of the most important concerns of everybody. Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of Our Nation, played an important role to uphold the dignity of womanhood, in society. For Gandhi, women were not mere toys or dolls in the hands of men neither their competitors. Men and women are equal and they are together responsible for finding solutions for social problems. He firmly believed that India’s salvation depends on the sacrifice and enlightenment of her women. He was indeed one of the greatest advocates of women’s liberty and throughout his life he stood to improve the status of women in his country. He wanted women to become sisters of mercy by serving the poor and unfortunate. He saw women as a potential force in the struggle to build a new social order as they are the first nursery of human beings and more important than men for the society to develop and grow in right direction. The present study intends to discuss Gandhiji’s thought on womanhood.

EnhancedQoS in Distributed System Using Load Balancing Approach[ ]


A load balancing approach is undertaken to methodically characterize the average overall conclusion time in a distributed system to improve the quality of services. This comes close toconsider the delays imposed by the communication medium. The load balancing approach is developed to improve the certain parameters of quality of services that dynamically reallocate the incoming external loads at each server. One of the most important issues in distributed systems is to design of aproficient dynamic load balancing algorithm that improves the taken as a whole performance of the distributed systems. Scheduling and resource management plays animportant role in achieving high utilization of the resource in grid computing environments. Load balancing is the procedure of distributed the load betweendiverse nodes of a distributed method to find improved both job response time withreservedeployment while also avoiding a situation where altered of the nodes are deeply loaded while other nodes are idle or lightly loaded. The performance the load balancing approach is shown in a simulated way using progress bars that shows how progress bar at each server performs before using load balancing approach and after using load balancing approach.

An Improved Intrusion Detection System using Random Forest and Random Projection[ ]


Communication plays a significant role in everybody’s life. Computer network is a type of communication network where information can be passed from one individual to another. Most of the services of various organizations, companies, universities, schools are processed via internet. Computer network was developed with a motive to make communication easier amidst individuals. The remarkable growth in network and ease of access to internet increased the security issues in the field of network. As the number of network attacks has increased, the security issues have been affected over past few years. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to watch unauthorized activities through the network. It can organize the unidentified records as regular class or attack class. In this paper, two classifiers random forest and support vector machine along with random projection is implemented. Then the same classifiers are used without the help of random projection. These classifiers classify the unidentified data into attack classes such as probe, DoS, U2R, R2L. The NSL – KDD dataset is used to assess the IDS. The random projection procedure is used to choose the applicable attributes from the data set after which the classifiers random forest and SVM classifies the unidentified data. The performance of IDS is evaluated by the data set. A comparison between the classification algorithms has been made. The outcome shows that the detection rate of random projection along with random forest is approximately 100% which is more efficient than random projection and SVM, random forest and SVM without random projection.

Biomechanical effect of the use of anti-adhesive membranes on reconstructed rabbit-model flexor tendons[ ]


The effects of anti-adhesive membranes on repair sites of injured tendons in animal models have been extensively studied especially in recent years. Our study focuses on the biomechanical influence of the anti-adhesive membrane Divide (Johnson-Johnson) on a tendon deficit that is reconstructed with an autologous tendon graft. Totally 14 tendon-specimens were tested under quasi-static tension with the INSTRON 5969 testing-rig. All specimens had been used as autografts to bridge a 3cm artificial tendon deficit in zone II of a rabbit model. Half of the specimens had been coated with the anti-adhesive membrane, whereas the rest had been not. As a result, 7 pairs of tendon specimens were investigated. All tendons had been surgically excised from the right forepaw of a rabbit. For each tendon-specimen the load-extension diagram was obtained. Results showed that after a 6 week post-operatively period, no statistically significant difference was detected in mechanical strength (maximum load before rupture) between tendon-grafts with the membrane and grafts without it (p=0.511>0.05). On the contrary, grafts coated with the membrane resulted in a significant increase of flexibility (greater maximum elongation before rupture, p=0.029<0.05).

Correlation of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) With Index Properties of Soil: A Case Study AtWelkite- Arekit-Hossana Road[ ]


Soil properties vary from region to region and season to season as it appears naturally. Studying this variation in different soil types and origin are a very important task for Geotechnical engineers. To overcome the effects of this variation, the Geotechnical engineers as well as other professionals attempt to develop empirical equations specific to a certain region and soil type in order to use the soil for different purpose. However, these empirical equations are more reliable for the type of soil where the correlation is developed. Hence, it is good practice to develop empirical equations that best fit in the soil available in the area that we can access. On the flexible pavements, sub-grade is considered to be an ideal layer to resist wheel load, and its CBR value is considered as the strength measuring parameter. Conducting CBR test is an expensive and time consuming procedure. In addition, it is very difficult to mold the sample at a desired in-situ density in the laboratory.

A Spiral Structure of Universe[ ]


In this paper it has been tried to establish as analogous image of spiral structure of Universe to that of spiral structure of elementary particles [1]. It describes the distribution of potential along the axis of evil of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. The roots of the zeta function are derived from the multipoles of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation which is in turn used to establish the eigenvector for the spiral structure of elementary particles which creates a unified view at both the scales. The geometric pattern in the partial sums of Riemann’s zeta function provides the mirror symmetry between the partial sums and the centre of spiral structures at different scales across the axis of evil of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation which is tried to be quantized with the Approximate Functional Equation.
