Abstract:

The study of floods risks requires not only the knowledge of the spatio-temporal variability of precipitation but also and above all, the frequency of occurrence of extreme hydroclimatic events. This study aims to characterize the frequency of extreme hydroclimatic events in the lower Ouémé valley to define their return periods. Daily rainfall data from nine (09) stations were collected and analyzed. They come from the National Meteorological Agency of Benin and cover the period from 1981 to 2019. The methodological approach adopted consisted firstly, in sampling the data to extract the maximum annual values. Then, three (03) hypothesis tests were performed to verify the stationarity, independence, and homogeneity of the data used, namely the modified Mann Kendall, Box Pierce, and Pettitt tests. The choice of the distribution that best fits the data series was done using the Akaike information criterion.....

Abstract:

Even if a person is unaware of the word metallography or has never heard of it, he or she has benefited from its presence if they have used a smartphone, flown on an aircraft, or driven a vehicle. The research of the microscopic and chemical characteristics of all sorts of metal materials using a microscope is known as metallography. Its origins may be traced back to the nineteenth century, but technological advancements have enabled it to remain relevant and led to fresh discoveries concerning metal characteristics. Metallography is employed at practically every stage of a product's life cycle, from basic physical resources formulation to examination, manufacturing, production processes supervision, and, if necessary, failure diagnosis. In this study, we have analyzed the benefits of metallography, how its study has helped in the innovation and creativity of the growing industry, and the benefits engineers have obtained from it. This study also includes types of examinations in depth.

Abstract:

The increasing demand of fossil fuel has drawn global attention to finding alternative source of energy. Many laboratory research and field trials have shown MEOR to be very successful. Recent studies have indicated key technological advancement in getting the best out of many recovery processes which is to improve cumulative oil production and ultimate oil recovery. In this work, Zinc-oxide nanoparticle was used to improve the productivity of an oil well in Niger – Delta. Nanoparticle was used at different concentration ranging from 5 grams to 20 grams on the crude. The results obtained shows an increase in oil recovery by 25.33% due to an increase in the nanoparticle concentration. The use of nanoparticle in the improvement of oil recovery is a new trend in the energy sector which rapidly increases oil productivity by acting as a catalyst to speed up oil recovery.

Abstract:

In this paper, another calculation implied for object tracking application is proposed utilizing local extrema patterns (LEP) and shading highlights. The standard local binary pattern (LBP) encodes the connection between central pixel and its encompassing neighbors by looking at gray level qualities. The proposed strategy contrasts from the current LBP in a way that it extricates the edge data dependent on local extrema between center pixel and its neighbors in a picture. Further, the joint histogram between RGB shading channels and LEP designs has been assemble which is utilized as a component vector in object following. The exhibition of the proposed strategy is contrasted and Ning et al. on three benchmark video groupings. The outcomes in the wake of being examined proposed strategy show a huge improvement in object following application when contrasted with existing techniques.

Abstract:

India is one of the five fast developing countries. India has made rapid strides towards economic self-reliance over the last few years. On the energy demand and supply side, India is facing severe shortages. To overcome energy crisis, India has developed many projects related to different energy sources. But driven by global concerns about the climate and the environment, the world is opting for renewable energy sources (RESs). However, RESs suffer from the discredit of intermittency, for which energy storage systems (ESSs) are gaining popularity worldwide.........

Abstract:

Industrial maintenance is one of the functions that support manufacturing. The correct functioning of equipment, according to specifications and control limits, are fundamental to verify requirements demanded by the markets. The problem of critical equipment guides decisions on maintenance management, determining assertive strategies for each type of equipment. What is critical equipment? This question has no definitive answer. However, the work progresses with the use of cognitive mapping to bring a more holistic level of criticality for industrial maintenance function. Hence, the main objective of this work is to classify the global criticality of equipment using multicriteria decision analysis, to assist in the selection of the most adequate type of maintenance, based on attributes and characteristics intrinsic to the equipment, production, and costs in organizational processes. To define criticality, a multicriteria approach was chosen combining the cognitive mapping to define criteria and subcriteria with the Technique for Order of Preference. A numerical example was used with mechanical equipment in its useful life of a medium-sized industrial process for transportation, storage, and modal shift for the sugar industry.

Abstract:

In this study, di methyl 1, 3-adamantane-di-carboxylate was used as the key intermediate. It was initially prepared by esterification of 1, 3-adamantane-di-carboxylic acid (1) and methanol under catalysis of 98% H2SO4 to yield dimethyl ester (2). Then, ester (2) was reacted with hydrazine hydrate to yield corresponding adamantane dihydrazide (3). Subsequently, compound (3) was condensed with aromatic aldehydes or ketones (4) to yield the corresponding dihydrazide-dihydrazones (5) containing nitro group as seen in Figure 1. The structure of dihydrazide-dihydrazones containing nitro group was confirmed by 1H-NMR, FTIR, Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis....

Abstract:

The phenomenon of corrosion, especially in the Persian Gulf region, is the main cause of the deterioration of offshore platforms, due to the high corrosion of its water. This phenomenon occurs mostly in the area of water spraying, threatening the members of the first floor of the jacket, legs, and piles in this area. In the current study, the effect of bracing arrangement on the Capacity Curve and Reserve Strength Ratio of Fixed-Type Offshore Platforms is investigated. In order to continue the operation of the platform, two modes of robust and damaged structures are considered, while checking the adequacy of the platform capacity based on the allowable values of API RP-2SIM regulations. The platform........

Abstract:

In the past 30 years, Punjab's economy has experienced rapid development, which led to a vast increase in energy consumption and serious environmental pollution. Many different water pollutants increase cancer risk. Exposure to these pollutants can occur by drinking contaminated water or bathing, showering or swimming in it. Ironically, one major water pollutant that increases cancer risk comes from disinfection, a process that protects our health from other diseases but, when chlorine during disinfection process interacts with organic compounds that often found in surface water, hundreds of different chemical mixtures called disinfection byproducts like chloroform, other trihalomethanes, and some haloacetic acids were found which cause bladder cancer and possibly colon, rectal and esophageal cancers. Studies of water contamination by many different pollutants like perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, chlorophenols, and nitrates from hazardous waste sites and industrial, commercial,.....

In this paper, we propose a design of nano cavity and microcavity based 2D Photonic Crystal biosensor for Melanoma (skin cancer) detection. Both the sensors are designed using normal cell and Melanoma cell with refractive index (1.35) and (1.59) which are used in the cavity and change of wavelength shift according to the refractive index are sense by bio sensor. Change in output transmission spectrum and Q factor has been observed with the wavelength shift, therefore by observing these changes Melanoma (skin cancer) is detected. By designing nanocavity and microcavity in the same structure of biosensor, comparison is also done that which sensor is having good......

Abstract:

Safety risks in the manufacturing sector affects activities in manufacturing operations. A poor safety culture results in unplanned downtime in production, accidents, injuries and lost time incidents. Safety risk assessment of manufacturing systems using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was carried out in this study. Hazard identification and risk ranking was done using a structured questionnaire to identify the hazards which include rolling/moving shaft, wet floor due to oil leaks and water spillage, clouds of dust, steam leakages/pressurized hose leakages, bad machine guarding, noise, fire, open drains, transporting/carrying heavy loads, lifting heavy loads above shoulder height and poor housekeeping. The risk analysis of these hazards indicated Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) ranging from 2 to 16. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for the safety risk.....

Abstract:

The analysis of fluid flow is encountered in almost all engineering applications. Flow measurements, particularly velocity and its direction, turbulence quantities are needed in order to improve the understanding of various complex flow phenomena and to validate and further refine the computer flow models. Pressure probes find wide application in the measurement of fluid flows both in the laboratory and in the industry. A seven-hole pressure probe is calibrated in non-null technique. An algorithm for seven-hole probe in non-null method is developed which utilizes a database of calibration data and a local least-squares interpolation technique is used for interpolation of flow properties. It is also found out that the non-null method was superior in ease of use and prediction of flow measurement variables

Abstract:

Traffic is increasing rapidly day by day which leads to fail the scheduled timetable of the transportation. So, if buses get delayed is mainly result in the wastage of time of the student. In this paper, we proposed the concept about to track the bus to avoid the time wastage and to reduce the human efforts also to reduce the chance of missing bus. The present generation requires the information time to time. The use of technology has been increasing day by day. So, we are planning for the combination of present technology with the requirement of information transmission, we planned for the creative approach of "College Bus Tracking System using GPS and GSM". The main aim is to find out the location of the college bus using GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) and without using internet at the user's end. Using GPS and with GSM the user can know the location of the bus by an SMS (Short Message Service). All the students have to store their database (i.e. mobile number) in GSM module.

Abstract:

A non-isolated high step-up three-port converter is proposed which provides two separate power flow paths from each input sources to the output load. In order to reduce the number of converter components, some components play multiple roles. Accordingly, the energy storage device is charged with the same components which are used in transferring power to the load. In this converter, coupled inductors technique is used to increase the voltage gain, and to mitigate the leakage inductance effect and to provide soft switching condition; two active clamp circuits are employed. Since the voltages across the switches are clamped, switches with low voltage stresses and consequently low conduction loss can be used. Various converter operating modes are discussed and design considerations are presented. A converter prototype to supply a 400v load is implemented and theoretical analysis validated by the experimental results..
