Abstract:

The transport and retention of crude oil in sandy soil was studied. A full factorial experimental design with three independent variables, namely soil depth, contaminant volume and rainfall intensity, was used. The soil was artificially contaminated with varying crude oil volumes and rainfall simulation was performed in a mesocosm. The results obtained showed variations in the transport and retention of crude oil with the independent variables. The leached total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) concentrations decreased with increasing soil depth but increased with increasing contaminant volume and rainfall intensity. Contrarily, the retained TPH concentrations increased with increasing soil depth and contaminant volume but decreased with increasing rainfall intensity. Transport and retention models were developed and used to fit the transport and retention of crude oil in sandy soil after accidental release with correlation coefficient of 0.9407 and 0.9446 for the transport and retention model, respectively.

Abstract:

The Routing and Wavelength Conversion are the two key techniques for improvement of the overall blocking performance in the wavelength routed all-optical networks. The Wavelength Converters are expensive, and thus the effective use of Wavelength Converters or more precisely the placement of minimum number of Wavelength Converter in appropriate nodes in the network is a challenge in the field of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. The performance of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network is highly dependent on Wavelength Converter allocation and routing problems. Typically treated as independent problems under dynamic traffic.

Abstract:

INCONEL (nickel-chromium-iron) alloy 600 is a standard engineering material for applications which require resistance to corrosion and heat. The alloy also has excellent mechanical properties and presents the desirable combination of high strength and good workability. The high nickel content gives the alloy resistance to corrosion by many organic and inorganic compounds and also makes it virtually immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking. Chromium confers resistance to sulfur compounds and also provides resistance to oxidizing conditions at high temperatures or in corrosive solutions. The alloy is not precipitation hard enable; it is hardened and strengthened only by cold work. The versatility of INCONEL alloy 600 has led to its use in a variety of applications involving temperatures from cryogenic to above 2000°F (1095°C). The alloy is.....

Abstract:

Blood oxygenation and heart rate detection based on infrared detection technology is one of the basic technologies of modern wearable devices and medical monitoring. In order to obtain fast and accurate blood oxygen and heart rate, this paper studies the algorithm for acquiring heart rate and blood oxygen. First, the pulse wave signal is collected based on hardware and software design. The pulse wave is then converted to a bipolar signal by a time domain method and a frequency domain method. The spectrum of the pulse wave is obtained by moving average filtering and fast Fourier transform. Finally, real-time heart rate and blood oxygen data are calculated based on the spectral waveform data. The experimental results show that the algorithm studied in this paper runs very well, and both methods can obtain actual heart rate and blood oxygen data.

Abstract:

Geopolymer is a new group of materials produced by the alkaline activation of alumino-silicate compounds. The interest of this project is to investigate the influences of synthesis parameters such as processing temperature, molarity of NaOH and ratio of Na2SiO3/NaOH on compressive strength of a geopolymer mortars. Geopolymer samples are prepared using varying concentrations of alkaline activators along with varying precursors such as silica fume, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and fly ash. With sol/solid = 0.2 (as arbitrary), Na2SiO3/NaOH = 2.5 (as arbitrary) and NaOH molarity of 7M and 11M geopolymer samples are prepared and cured at different curing conditions. Compressive strength of these samples is found out and the optimum mix proportion is found out. Finally, an early strength development in geopolymer concrete could be achieved by the proper selection of curing temperature and the period of curing.

Abstract:

Bone age is an effective indicator for the diagnosis of various diseases. A person has two ages, chronological age and bone age. Chronological age is the actual age determined from the date of birth of the person. Bone age describes the degree of maturation of the person's bones. Many diseases, such as growth disorders, chromosomal disorders, endocrine disorders, and endocrinological problems, can be discovered by finding inconsistency between bone age and chronological age. In this article bone age is determined by applying image processing techniques on people hands x-rays with techniques of machine learning. The hand x-rays image data of 2500 children were studied. CNN VGG16 and CNN Inception V3 regression algorithms were applied to these data and then the results were evaluated

Abstract:

In India, most of the structures being constructed are Reinforced Concrete structures or Steel structures. In high rise RCC structures, the size of structural members (column, beam, and slab) increases. Due to this, self-weight of the structure also increases. Steel structures on the other hand, are ductile in nature and parameters like deflections, drifts, displacements are more compared with RCC structures. To solve these problems, composite structures might be suitable. Due to this, steel consumption in India also developed. A geometrically irregular residential building (G+18 storeys) is designed and analysed for cases of RCC, RCC with shear wall, steel and composite structures (considering earthquake zone III) using ETABS software. The structure is analysed using linear static, linear and non-linear dynamic.....

Abstract:

Indoor air pollution is the degradation of indoor air quality by harmful chemicals and other materials and it is considered to be 10 times more severe than the outdoor air pollution. Poor indoor air quality is the second largest killer with 1.3 million deaths in India each year. Delhi, the capital of India is ranked first in the air pollution in terms of Particulate Matter according to Greenpeace report in 2019. A study involving measurement of different indoor air pollutants such as PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 has been presented in this study and furthermore the health effects associated with these pollutants have also been analysed. A Handy Sampler based on 32-BIT ARM processor was used to carry out this study. The monitored values were recorded at some pre selected locations of South Delhi . It was observed that most of the monitored data of particulate fractions (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10) exceeded the NAAQS limits. The study therefore is one of the first attempts at monitoring indoor air quality of this region..

Abstract:

The constant demand to improve daily living standards for paralysis patients serves as a motivation to develop newer technology. The task once performed by big traditional computers is now solved with smaller smart devices. Paralysis is defined as the complete loss of muscle function in any part of the body. It occurs when there is a problem with the passage of messages between the muscles and the brain. The main objective is to design a real time interactive system that can assist the paralysis patients to control appliances such as lights, fans etc. In addition, It can also play pre-recorded audio messages through predefined number of eye blinks and it also helps to alert the doctor or concerned person by sending SMS in case of emergency by using eye blink Sensor. The eye blink sensor is able to detect an intentional blink from a normal blink, which is useful for the paralysis patients especially Tetraplegic patients to regulate their home devices easily without any help..

Abstract:

In this project we aim in placing a heat detection system in a car . The heat detection system would sense the rise in temperature inside the car. Because of increase in temperature during day time the requirement of cooling system in absence of person inside the car is a major concern. In order to meet this requirement a method to reduce the temperature inside a car is required .In our project we are using DHT-11 sensor to detect the heat change inside the car .This sensor which is connected by an Arduino uno board sends the signal to the motor which slides down the window and cools the interior . After attaining normal temperature the window again slides up. In the past few years many fatalities have been reported as the result of internal car heat. Problems arise when the temperature in a car cabin is too hot when parked under direct sunlight. The trapped and accumulated heat causes the temperature inside a car to reach temperatures soaring high temperatures..

Abstract:

At the Institute for Thermodynamics at the Bundeswehr University Munich a piston-driven shock tunnel is operated to investigate structures of space transportation systems under reentry conditions. For temperature measurements in the nozzle reservoir under single-shot conditions, laser-induced grating spectroscopy (LIGS) was identified as best-suited measurement technique. However, under moderate conditions seeding of the test gas with NO2 was used successfully to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of thermal signals. For a better understanding and an optimization of the seeding process, an optical setup for an absorption measurement in a test cell in the used spectral range of the LIGS measurements (592 nm - 596 nm) was developed.

Abstract:

In Brazil, the accounting of transportation costs and the movement of oil and its derivatives is carried out between Petrobras and its subsidiaries under two contract forms: tariffs and operation-maintenance. In the tariff agreement, the subsidiary uses its facilities and operation-maintenance, it is responsible for the operationmaintenance of the contractor's facilities. The costs of these operations are accounted for apportioned and allocated to only two cost centers: oil and oil products. This paper aims to present a methodology for an accounting of logistics costs that contemplate the operations in each unit, identifying the efficiency of each process. Through the analysis of data in the budget and logistics areas, it was verified the possibility of accounting by specific cost centers, defined for each type of product moved (oil or derivatives) in each terminal, involved in tariff contracts, besides to change the measurement of fare contracts, prepare the cost center structure, adjust the allocation cycles to the new method, and update the internal order master data according to their new structures. As a result, the managers of each production unit are expected to contribute by providing a clearer and more objective view of costs.

    10.9790/9622- 0908051217     

Abstract:

The Nangka Watershed is located within the Lombok River Region in Indonesian. The area of Nangka Watershed is 32,87 km2. Erosion prediction uses the USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation) method with the help of arcGis software. The results of the analysis show that the land area with a moderate erosion hazard rate of 2,44 km2 or 7,46% of the total area of the watershed, the land area with a severe erosion hazard level is 0,86 km2 or 3,56% of the total watershed area and land area with a very severe erosion hazard amounting to 2,27 km2 or 6,13% of the total watershed area. Sediment potential in the Nangka Watershed is 16.520,22 tons / year. To reduce the erosion hazard, conservation efforts were simulated by vegetative methods and mechanical methods by Strip Cropping building bench terraces, reforestation and building sediment control buildings. Efforts to reforest and build sediment control buildings are the right conservation to be applied in the Nangka Watershed.

  [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite][Download Certificate]
    10.9790/9622- 0908054047     

Abstract:

An earthquake (also referred to as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, because of the surprising release of energy inside the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in length from the ones that are so weak that they can't be felt to those violent enough to toss humans around and break whole cities. The seismicity, or seismic hobby, of a place is the frequency, type and length of earthquakes skilled over a time frame. The word tremor is also used for non-earthquake seismic rumbling. Earthquake-resistant structures are systems designed to protect buildings from earthquakes. While no shape may be absolutely resistant to damage from earthquakes, the goal of earthquake-resistant construction is to erect systems that fare higher at some stage in seismic pastime than their conventional counterparts. According to constructing.....

  [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite][Download Certificate]
    10.9790/9622- 0908054854     

Abstract:

The demand for high bit-rates has forced the emerging of new technologies like 5G in wireless systems and VDSL2 and G.fast in wireline systems. In order to achieve higher bit rates in wireline system, both technologies make use of higher bandwidth thereby reaching higher bit rates. However, this incremental bandwidth causes that the FEXT (crosstalk) which is frequency and length dependent becomes a more severe problem in the upstream direction for a typical distributed topology. This effect is known as the near-far problem. In order to solve this problem whilst optimizing a bitrate, several methods have been proposed. By using anenriched global Nelder-Mead algorithm approachand by constraining the datarate at a certain distance (which we call reference length), we have improved the convergence time of the sum-rate optimization problem. In order to find the optimal UPBO parameters to shape the power spectral density such that the crosstalk does not "kill" other users, whilst maximizing the....

Abstract:

Amid the economic environment, of competitive costs in the civil construction, the tasks of identifying, evaluating and classifying the elements of risks present in construction projects in the civil construction sector become imperative. Risk management has a strong impact on the projects' development, affecting ventures schedules, costs and quality. This research aims at identifying, evaluating and classifying the elements that form risks present in the civil construction environment, based on references from the literature, validated by researches directed to engineers and professionals related to the subject of risk management. Its structure presents two distinct phases, with a qualitative approach, via a semi-structured, and a quantitative questionnaire, through a survey. This part of the research was carried out in a non-probabilistic sampling, represented by 105 professionals and specialists....
