Opis:
Increasing intensity and frequency of rainfall coupled with gradual retreating of glaciers due to climate change in Himalayan region likely to increase the risk of floods. A better understanding of risk zones which are vulnerable to flood disasters can be evolved from the detailed studies on slope, geomorphology and land use/ land cover pattern. Information of these parameters is an important input for the identification of vulnerable areas. Flood risk maps provide useful information about places that may be at risk from flooding. It offers a cost-effective solution for planning, management and mitigation strategies in risky areas. Traditional methods of flood risk mapping are based on ground surveys and aerial observations, but when the phenomenon is widespread, such methods are time consuming and expensive. The possible combination of DEM and other maps of area using an overlay operation method within the Geographical Information System (GIS) platform can lead to derivation and the understanding of spatial association between various parameters which could be used to predict flood risk zones. The study area i.e. Satluj River Basin has been broadly divided into five risk zones viz., very low, low, moderate, high and very high which helped to differentiate between areas that are at risk of different intensities of flood. The very high flood risk zone covers only 3.25 % of total study area, while the very low risk zone covers 13.63 %. The area falls within the very high and high risk constitutes 9.52 % of total basin area. Domain of moderate risk covers an area of 30.66 %. But the maximum area of river basin is constituted by low risk zone i.e. 46.19 %. Identification of such zones will help in timely adopting of mitigation and adaptation measures. Preparation of flood risk zoning maps also helps in regulating indiscriminate and unplanned land use practices in risky areas.

Opis:
Climate change arising from anthropogenic driven emissions of greenhouse gases has emerged as one of the most important environmental issues in the last two decades. One of the most significant potential consequences of climate change may be alteration in regional hydrological cycle and river flow regimes. Increased temperature is expected to increase the peak flows in snowfed rivers of Himalayas. The changing pattern of regional temperature on flood peaks deserves urgent and systematic attention over a basin which provides an insight view of historical trends. Lower reaches of Satluj River is selected for the present study. Testing the significance of observed trends in flood peaks has received a great attention recently, especially in connection with climate change. The data series available was 48 years (1967-2010). The records were subjected to trend analysis by using both non-parametric (Mann-Kendall test) and parametric (linear regression analysis) procedures. For better understanding of the observed trends, flood peaks were computed into standardised flood peak indices (SFPI). These standardised data series were plotted against time and the linear trends observed were represented graphically. The analysis of flood peaks at different observation stations in lower reaches of Satluj River showed a large variability in the trends and magnitudes. The trend analysis results of flood peaks and gauge heights indicate that the flood peaks at all sites i.e. Rampur, Suni and Kasol show increasing but statistically insignificant trends. The trends in gauge height at all sites are also showing increasing trend but Kasol is statistically significant at 95% confidence level. The fast melting of glaciers, incessant monsoon rainfall and the synchronisation of the discharge peaks are the main causes of river floods. The past flood peaks will help us to observe the frequency of occurrence of floods in certain region and to determine whether the flood peaks in the past have been same with that of the present or whether there is any deviation in the trend in relation to climate change. Such studies will help in designing mitigation and adaptation strategies towards extreme hydrological events.

Shear wave based acoustic devices are being used in gaseous and liquid environments because of their high-sensitivity. The theoretical study of horizontally polarized shear (SH) waves in a layered structure consisting of a piezoelectric ceramic of P ZT − 5H or BaT iO3 material overlying a couple stress substrate is presented in this paper. The considered substrate is supposed to be exhibiting microstructural properties. The closed form expression of dispersion relations are derived analytically for electrically open and short conditions. The effects of internal microstructures of the couple stress substrate, thickness of P ZT − 5H or BaT iO3 ceramic, piezoelectric and dielectric constants are illustrated graphically on the phase velocity of the piezoelectric layer under electrically open and short conditions.

Opis:
Transmission line loss minimization in a power system is an important research issue and it can be achieved by means of reactive power compensation. The unscheduled increment of load in a power system has driven the system to experience stressed conditions. This phenomenon has also led to voltage profile depreciation below the acceptable secure limit. The significance and use of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices and capacitor placement is in order to alleviate the voltage profile decay problem. The optimal value of compensating devices equires proper optimization technique, able to search the optimal solution with less computational burden. This paper presents a technique to provide simultaneous or individual controls of basic system parameter like transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle, thereby controlling the transmitted power using Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) based on Bacterial Foraging (BF) algorithm. Voltage stability level of the system is defined on the Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) of the lines. The IEEE 14-bus system is used as the test system to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed system. The test result showed that the ocation of UPFC improves the voltage profile and also minimize the real power loss.

Two types of computer input devices, a conventional mouse and a roller bar one, were studied in terms of muscular activitiy in m. trapezius dexter, m. deltoideus anterior dexter and m. extensor digitorum dexter, and comfort rating. Fifteen university students and employees participated in this study. The order of the devices was random. While a task was performed, electromyography (EMG) data were recorded for each test. Muscular activity was found to be significantly lower for the roller bar mouse than for the conventional one. Comfort rating indicated there was a significant difference in moving a cursor with the conventional mouse compared to the roller bar one. It is concluded that a roller bar mouse allowed the subjects to work closer to the body compared to the conventional one, thus the former can be recommended as a general means of reducing upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders.

The objectives of this study were to examine the agreement between 5 ergonomic risk assessment methods calculated on the basis of quantitative exposure measures and to examine the ability of the methods to correctly classify 4 at risk jobs. Surface electromyography and electrogoniometry were used to record the physical exposures of 87 sawmill workers performing 4 repetitive jobs. Five ergonomic risk assessment tools (rapid upper limb assessment [RULA], rapid entire body assessment [REBA], American conference of governmental industrial hygienist’s threshold limit value for mono-task hand work [ACGIH TLV], strain index [SI], and concise exposure index [OCRA]) were calculated. Dichotomization of risk to no risk and at risk resulted in high agreement between methods. Percentage of perfect agreement between methods when 3 levels of risk were considered was moderate and varied by job. Of the methods examined, the RULA and SI were best (correct classification rates of 99 and 97% respectively). The quantitative ACGIH-TLV for mono-task hand work and Borg scale were worst (misclassification rates of 86 and 28% respectively).

The aim of this study was to determine biomechanical loads and subjective stresses on lumber graders and associated morbidity in a high risk and repetitive sawmill occupation. The exposures of all 29 male sawmill worker volunteers were recorded. Motion and posture were studied with electrogoniometers, muscle loads were recorded with surface electromyography, and psychophysical stresses were assessed with subjective responses. Fifty-nine percent of the participants reported greater than moderate discomfort in their taskdominant upper extremity. Job performance required an average range of motion of 44º, 21º, and 52º in flexion/extension, radial/ulnar deviations, and pronation/supination respectively. It also required an average of 9% maximum voluntary contraction force and was repeated an average of 34 times/min. This repetitive exertion over an 8-h shift was deemed to be a significant risk factor associated with prevalent upper extremity morbidity.

Opis:
Bone loss is one of the serious health issues in bedridden patients or young generation due to lack of physical activities. Mechanical forces are exerted on the bones through ground reaction forces, liquid loadings and by other contraction activities of the muscles. We are assuming an isotropic half-space with mechanical properties equivalent to that of bone exhibiting microstructures. Consistent couple stress theory introduces an additional material parameter called characteristic length which accounts for inner microstructure of the material. Dispersion relations for leaky Rayleigh waves are derived by considering a model consisting of couple stress half space under the effects of gravity and loaded with inviscid liquid layer of finite thickness or a liquid half space. Impact of the gravity, liquid loadings and microstructures of the material are investigated on propagation of leaky Rayleigh type waves. Phase velocity of leaky Rayleigh waves is studied for five different values of characteristic length parameter which are of the order of internal cell size of the considered material. Variations in phase velocity of leaky Rayleigh waves are also studied under the effect of gravity parameter and thickness of liquid loadings.

The paper deals with propagation of SH waves in a viscoelastic layer over a couple stress substrate with imperfect bonding at the interface. A dispersion equation of SH waves in a viscoelastic layer overlying the couple stress substrate with an imperfect interface between them has been obtained. Dispersion equations for propagation of SH waves with perfectly bonded interface and slippage interface between two media are also obtained as particular cases. Effects of the degree of imperfectness of the interface are studied on the phase velocity of SH waves. The dispersion curves are plotted and the effects of material properties of both couple stress substrate and viscoelastic layer are studied. The effects of internal microstructures of the couple stress substrate in terms of characteristic length of the material are presented. The effects of heterogeneity, friction parameter and thickness of the viscoelastic layer are also studied on the propagation of SH waves.

Opis:
For understanding the effects of an internal microstructure, generalised microcontinuum theories with additional microstructural parameters are developed. One such a parameter, called the characteristic length of the material comparable with the internal cell size of the material is involved in the couple stress theory. The problem of propagation of Lamb waves in a plate with an internal microstructure and loaded with an inviscid liquid on both sides is studied using the couple stress theory. The dispersion equation of Lamb waves with the liquid loadings is derived. The impact of the liquid loadings is studied on the propagation of Lamb waves. The effect of the characteristic length is also studied on the phase velocity of Lamb waves in the plate for various modes in the presence of liquid loadings.

Opis:
This study aims at finding the effect of laser welding speed on incoloy 800 HT. This alloy is one of the potential materials for Generation IV nuclear plants. Laser welding has several advantages over arc welding such as low fusion zone, low heat input and concentrated heat intensity. Three different welding speeds were chosen and CO2 laser welding was performed. 2D modeling and simulation were done using ANSYS 15 to find out the temperature distribution at different welding speeds and it was found that an increase in the welding speed decreased the temperature. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, toughness and hardness were evaluated. The effect of welding speed on metallurgical characteristics was studied using optical microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with EDS, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique and fractographic analysis. From the results it was found that high welding speed (1400 mm/min) decreased the joint strength. The M23C6 and Ni3Ti carbides were formed in a discrete chain and in a globular form along the grain boundaries of the weld region which increased the strength of the grain boundaries. Fractographic evaluations of the tested specimens for welding speed (1000 and 1200) mm/min showed deep and wide dimples indicating ductile failures.

This study focuses on the effect of heat input on the quality characteristics of tungsten inert arc gas welded incoloy 800HT joints using inconel-82 filler wire. Butt welding was done on specimens with four different heat inputs by varying the process parameters like welding current and speed. The result indicated that higher heat input levels has led to the formation of coarser grain structure, reduced mechanical properties and sensitization issues on the weldments. The formation of titanium nitrides provided resistance to fracture and increased the tensile strength of the joints at high temperatures. Further aging was done on the welded sample at a temperature of 750°C for 500 hours and the metallographic result showed formation of carbides along the grain boundaries in a chain of discrete and globular form which increased the hardness of the material. The formation of spinel NiCr2 O4 provided oxidation resistance to the material during elevated temperature service.

In this work, a comparative study on the ballistic behaviour of friction stir processed AL6061 targets had been made. Base Metal AL6061 (BM) plates with 25 mm thickness were friction stir processed by adding Multi Walled Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) and Graphene (G), producing AL6061-MWCNT and AL6061-G surface composites. Optical microscopy and microhardness test on BM, AL6061-MWCNT and AL6061-G samples were performed as per the standard procedure. It was noticed that uniform dispersion of ceramic particles and refined grains were obtained for the friction stir processed surface composites. From the microhardness test, it was perceived that friction stir processing had induced strengthening of surface composites, hence increasing the microhardness of AL6061-MWCNT and AL6061-G by ~60.3% and ~73.6% respectively. Also, ballistic experiments were conducted at 680±10 m/s by impacting Ø7.62×51 mm projectiles. AL6063 backing plates were placed to compare the ballistic behaviours AL6061-MWCNT and AL6061-G targets by depth of penetration. It was noted that the depth of penetration of AL6061-MWCNT and AL6061-G targets were 37.81% and 65.84% lesser than the BM target. Further, from the results of Post ballistic microscopy it was observed that the microstructure near and away from the penetration channel edge looks unchanged in BM target. However, the AL6061-MWCNT and AL6061-G targets showed considerable change in their morphology, by forming Adiabatic Shear Bands.

Opis:
Hybridization of meta-heuristic algorithms plays a major role in the optimization problem. In this paper, a new hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm called hybrid pathfinder algorithm (HPFA) is proposed to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. The superiority of the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is the fast convergence speed, a mutation operator in the DE algorithm incorporates into the pathfinder algorithm (PFA). The main objective of this research is to minimize the real power losses and subject to equality and inequality constraints. The HPFA is used to find optimal control variables such as generator voltage magnitude, transformer tap settings and capacitor banks. The proposed HPFA is implemented through several simulation cases on the IEEE 118-bus system and IEEE 300-bus power system. Results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm with good quality of optimal solutions over existing optimization techniques, and hence confirm its potential to solve the ORPD problem.

Cloud promises for easiness and reduced expense to service providers and consumers. However, a lack of trust between these two stakeholders has hindered the universal accep¬tance of cloud for outsourced services. In this paper, a fuzzy based trust management system is proposed to facilitate cloud consumers in identifying trustworthy providers. The performance of the proposed system is validated through a simulation using CloudAnalyst and Simulink.

Geopolymers have been synthesized from mechanically activated lignite and brown coal fly ash. Mechanical activation of fly ash has been carried out using laboratory ball mill. To determine the structural changes in both, the fly ash and the resulted geopolymer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements were performed. Isothermal conduction calorimetry method was applied to study the geopolymerisation reactions in mechanically non-activated (raw) and activated fly ash samples. The isothermal conduction calorimetry results showed similar peak intensity for mechanically activated (5-30 min) fly ash samples. However, the intensity of peak for 120 min milled brown coal fly ash was the highest. The compressive strength of the specimen was found to be dependent on the grinding residence time as well as composition/type of fly ash.

One of the challenges being faced by designers of these systems is to secure template data extracted from the biometric modalities of the user and protect the raw images. In order to minimize spoof attacks on biometric systems by unauthorised users one of the solutions is to use multi-biometric systems. Multi-modal biometric system works by using fusion technique to merge feature templates generated from different modalities of the human. In this work, a novel scheme is proposed to secure template during feature fusion level. The scheme is based on union operation of fuzzy relations of templates of modalities during fusion process of multimodal biometric systems. This approach serves dual purpose of feature fusion as well as transformation of templates into a single secured non invertible template. The proposed technique is irreversible, diverse and experimentally tested on a bimodal biometric system comprising of fingerprint and hand geometry. The given scheme results into significant improvement in the performance of the system with lower equal error rate and improvement in genuine acceptance rate.

Opis:
The problem of improving the voltage profile and reducing power loss in electrical networks must be solved in an optimal manner. This paper deals with comparative study of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Differential Evolution (DE) based algorithm for the optimal allocation of multiple FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) devices in an interconnected power system for the economic operation as well as to enhance loadability of lines. Proper placement of FACTS devices like Static VAr Compensator (SVC), Thyristor Controlled Switched Capacitor (TCSC) and controlling reactive generations of the generators and transformer tap settings simultaneously improves the system performance greatly using the proposed approach. These GA & DE based methods are applied on standard IEEE 30 bus system. The system is reactively loaded starting from base to 200% of base load. FACTS devices are installed in the different locations of the power system and system performance is observed with and without FACTS devices. First, the locations, where the FACTS devices to be placed is determined by calculating active and reactive power flows in the lines. GA and DE based algorithm is then applied to find the amount of magnitudes of the FACTS devices. Finally the comparison between these two techniques for the placement of FACTS devices are presented.

Opis:
This paper briefly reviews the current instruments used in assessing the fire performance of railway rolling stock and those to be used in new European regulatory tests. The latter are a result of major developments towards harmonizing Railway Vehicle fire performance testing and classifications, initially developed under European Public Procurement directives and latterly via the Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI). In many senses the interoperability of railway vehicles between different EU countries makes harmonization a very desirable requirement. The test specifications to be utilized for this process are described in EN 45545. The formation of the European Union and the subsequent agreements that several products should be tested using harmonized testing methods throughout the EU make the EU market the developed world's biggest market for most constructed products. Each member state is currently able to continue to classify the products using the traditional (often national) methods alongside the new methods during a transition period.

Opis:
The field experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential of two botanicals viz; ozoneem and neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) and three chemical insecticides viz; imidacloprid, alphamathrin, chlorpyriphos 50% EC + cypermethrin 5% EC against Leucinodes orbonalis, during the years from 2008 to 2009. Botanicals were tested alone and in combination with cultural practices. On the basis of the pooled means, the results revealed that three sprays of chlorpyriphos + cypermethrin @ 0.01% active substance (a.s.) in 15 days intervals was found to be the most economical, resulting in minimum shoot (2.15%) and fruit (12.95%) infestation respectively, followed by alphamathrin @ 0.01% a.s. with a highest marketable yield of 87.77 q/ha. Maximum marketable yield was received from the treatment with alphamathrin, but due to high costs involved in the use of this chemical, it took second place. Three sprays of NSKE @ 5 ml/lt. recorded a maximum of shoot (3.91%) and fruit (24.49%) infestation, respectively. However, shoot and fruit infestation was brought down and marketable yield increased to some extent, when these treatments were combined with cultural methods. It is therefore, suggested that the combination of chlorpyriphos 50% EC + cypermethrin 5% EC, being the most effective and economically viable insecticide, can be utilized as a valuable chemical component in Integrated Pest Management to manage the L. orbonalis in eggplant crop.

Opis:
An investigation is made on the effect of Hall currents on thermal instability of a compressible couple-stress fluid in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field saturated in a porous medium. The analysis is carried out within the framework of the linear stability theory and normal mode technique. A dispersion relation governing the effects of viscoelasticity, Hall currents, compressibility, magnetic field and porous medium is derived. For the stationary convection a couple-stress fluid behaves like an ordinary Newtonian fluid due to the vanishing of the viscoelastic parameter. Compressibility, the magnetic filed and couple-stress parameter have stabilizing effects on the system whereas Hall currents and medium permeability have a destabilizing effect on the system, but in the absence of Hall current couple-stress has a destabilizing effect on the system. It has been observed that oscillatory modes are introduced due to the presence of viscoelasticity, magnetic field porous medium and Hall currents which were non-existent in their absence.

Opis:
A numerical simulation and parametric studies for the separation of air using 5A zeolite for the production of oxygen are presented for a basic two bed pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process. The simulation is based on an in-house program 'PSASOL' developed in MATLABŽ. The transient process of PSA has been described by a set of partial differential equations, which were solved using a finite difference method. Simulation results have been validated with the experimental data from literature. Based on the simulation results, an optimal set of operational parameter values has been obtained for the PSA bed. The values of the optimal parameters, viz. adsorption pressure, cycle time, feed rate, and product rate have been found to be 2.5 atm, 150 s, 15 cm3/s, and 2.55 cm3/s, respectively. For the optimal conditions, purity of 95.45% and recovery of 77.3% have been achieved. It has also been found that a longer tubular unit with the length to diameter (L/D) ratio of 10.5 is advantageous. The estimated pressure drop across the bed has been found to be negligible. Power consumption and productivity have also been computed.

The lime plasters of the excavated monument of Salvankuppam, previously submerged and exposed by the Tsunami occurred in the Indian Ocean on 26th December 2004 was studied with different analytical techniques. The temple is dated 4-5th century CE. The XRF, XRD, FTIR, NMR, SEM-EDX analysis of the lime plasters evidenced particular occurrence of phosphatised bacterial remains in saline conditions. The formation of amorphous Ca-phosphate by bio mineralization was identified in the plasters by the analyses. The plasters are made of air-lime with coarse aggregates and seashells inclusion as confirmed by the thermal and chemical analysis. The microstructure and morphological investigations of mineralized microbial structures by SEM-EDX indicated the formation of amorphous Ca-phosphate. The unordered and fibrous spherulites have hardened and reduced porosity of the plaster by bio mineralization as observed through MIP analysis. The 16S rRNA sequencing has identified the Pseudomonas strains mainly responsible for the clustering of amorphous Ca-phosphate particles around the bacterial colony.

Opis:
In-plane displacement field and refractive index variation for silicon and germanium in the presence of Lamb wave is estimated for optical applications. The required dispersion equation in a thin silicon and germanium plates is obtained using the method of potentials with boundary conditions involving the bulk and surface stress of the materials considered. The eigen-values thus obtained are used to compute the Lamb wave modes for the slab of silicon and germanium at same thickness. The fundamental anti-symmetric and symmetric plate modes and their overtones are observed due to confinement of acoustic energy within the slab thickness. In addition, the excited symmetric modes in silicon have longer wavelengths than those of germanium at a fixed frequency. Therefore, the refractive index modulation through the Lamb wave in silicon is always larger as compared to that of germanium. This refractive index modulation can be treated as periodic sinusoidal refractive index variation and may be considered as a tunable one-dimensional photonics crystal.

Opis:
The effect of hydrotropes such as sodium salicylate, sodium benzoate, and nicotinamide on the solubility and mass transfer coefficient of benzoic acid has been investigated. The solubility studies were carried out under a wide range of hydrotrope concentrations (0 to 3.0 mol/L) and different system temperatures (303K to 333K). It has been observed that the solubility and mass transfer coefficient of benzoic acid increases with an increase in hydrotrope concentration and also with system temperature. A Minimum Hydrotrope Concentration (MHC) was found essential to initiate a significant increase in the solubility and the mass transfer coefficient. The maximum enhancement factor (?s), which is the ratio of the solubility value in the presence and absence of a hydrotrope, has been determined for all sets of experimentations. The solubility of benzoic acid has been enhanced to 19.98 times in the presence of 2.5 mol/L concentration of sodium salicylate hydrotrope at 333K.The effectiveness of hydrotropes was measured in terms of Setschenow constant Ks and the highest value has been observed as 0.502 for sodium salicylate.

The solubility and mass transfer coefficient studies were carried out using hydrotropes such as sodium acetate, citric acid and nicotinamide under a wide range of hydrotrope concentrations (0 to 3.0 mol/L) and different system temperatures (303 to 333 K). It was found that the solubility and mass transfer coefficient of 2-nitrobenzoic acid increases with an increase in hydrotrope concentration and also with system temperature. All hydrotropes used in this work showed an enhancement in the solubility and mass transfer coefficient to different degrees. The maximum enhancement factor value has been determined for both the solubility and mass transfer coefficient. The effectiveness of hydrotropes was measured in terms of Setschnew constant Ks and reported for all the hydrotropes used in this study.

Opis:
Nothapodytes nimmoniana (J. Graham) (Icacinaceae), commonly known as Amruta is found in India particularly in Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala, Assam, Jammu and Kashmir as well as Tamilnadu areas. It is an important medicinal plant, the major source of a potent alkaloid, namely camptothecin, of a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities like anti-cancer, anti-HIV, antimalarial, antibacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and also applied in the treatment of anaemia. Camptothecin is still not synthesized, therefore, its production entirely depends on natural sources. N. nimmoniana is one such plant which yields contain camptothecin in significantly high amount. The plant is gaining international recognition due to its diversified medicinal uses. It is subjected to excessive harvest. It has been categorized as a vulnerable and endangered plant. The present review encompasses the phytochemical, analytical, pharmacological, biotechnological, and other specific aspects of N. nimmoniana.
Nothapodytes nimmoniana (J. Graham) (Icacinaceae), powszechnie znana jako Amruta, rośnie w Indiach, szczególnie w prowincjach Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala, Assam, Dżammu i Kaszmir, a także na niektórych obszarach Tamilnadu. Jest jedną z ważnych roślin leczniczych, głównym źródłem silnego alkaloidu, kamptotecyny, mającej szerokie spektrum działania: przeciwnowotworowe, anty-HIV, antymalaryczne, antybakteryjne, przeciwutleniające, przeciwzapalne, przeciwgrzybicze. Znajduje również zastosowanie w leczeniu anemii. Jak dotąd kamptotecyna nie została zsyntetyzowana, dlatego jej produkcja całkowicie zależy od źródeł naturalnych. N. nimmoniana jest jedną z roślin zawierających duże ilości kamptotecyny. Zyskała ona międzynarodowe uznanie dzięki szerokiemu spektrum zastosowań, co powoduje zwiększenie jej eksploatacji. Z tego powodu została uznana za gatunek zagrożony. Poniższy przegląd obejmuje badania fitochemiczne, analityczne, farmakologiczne, biotechnologiczne i inne prowadzone nad gatunkiem N. nimmoniana.

An electrical contractor is one which plays significant role in day todays life in industries as well as in home appliances. In current scenario the materials for conducting purpose has an overwhelming research capability. Now a day the silver based electrical contact composite material have provided the potential applications in aerospace and automobile industries. Among silver based contact material the silver cadmium oxide and silver tin oxide plays a vital role in fabrication of electrical contactors. In this research an attempt has been made to study the influence of adding Aluminum with silver based electrical contact composite materials by two different processing routes namely stir-casting and powder metallurgy. Silver and aluminum matrix plays a virtual role in composite world owing to their highest conductivity. Optimum parameters were identified for attaining the maximum properties such as conductivity, hardness, density, and porosity of composition. By this better conducting property and mechanical property of the electrical contact can be improved by this system. Thus a screening test has be conducted with addition of Al with silver tin oxide compositions hence this paper aims to process the aluminum – silver based electrical contact materials by stir casting processing and powder metallurgy route and compare the results obtained.

The simulations were performed using commercial COMSOL Multiphysics software. The thermal history of the weld region was studied by initially developed mathematical model. A sweep type meshing was used and transient analysis was performed for one welding cycle. The highest temperature noted was 3568 °C during welding. The welding operation was performed on 200×100×25 mm plates. Through metallurgical characterization, it was observed that a fair copper rich cellular (CRC) network existed in the weld region. A small amount of intermetallic compounds like Al2Cu is observed through the XRD pattern.

The chromosome numbers in Arenaria kashmirica (n=20), Silene conoidea (n=20), S. edgeworthii (n=12 and n=24), S. moorcroftiana (n=24), S. nepalensis (n=12), Stellaria media (n=13), S. monosperma (n=13) and S. semivestita (n=13) are reported for the first time. The chromosome numbers in Lychnis coronaria (n=12) and Silene vulgaris (n=24) are given for the first time from India, along with Gypsophilla ceratioides (n=15) from the Western Himalayas. The course of meiosis varies from normal to abnormal in different populations of Silene conoidea, S. edgeworthii, S. vulgaris, Stellaria media, S. monosperma and S. semivestita. The course of meiosis was abnormal in all studied populations of Lychnis coronaria. Abnormal microsporogenesis (cytomixis, chromosomal stickiness, unoriented bivalents, formation of laggards and bridges) led to reduced pollen fertility and differences in pollen grain size.

Opis:
Nanopowder of iron cyanide hydrate (member of Prussian blue family) was obtained using ferric chloride and potassium cyanide in their dilute solution through co-precipitation method. The effect of thermal annealing on iron cyanide hydrate nanocrystallites have been studied in detail. The formation of $Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3$·$14H_2O$ and iron oxides was revealed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The crystal structure, morphology and size of nanocrystallites were investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. Results suggest that using co-precipitation technique, nanopowder of iron cyanide hydrate, in typically spherical shape, can be obtained and their thermal treatment also yield iron oxide nanocrystallites of spherical with good homogeneity. The size of the prepared nanocrystallites was found in the range 20-36 nm. It was observed that thermal treatment, typically at 800°C (4 h), iron cyanide hydrate ($Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3$·$14H_2O$) nanocrystallites transformed into iron oxide ($α-Fe_2O_{3,}$ hematite) nanocrystallites.

Opis:
Carbon fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) composite materials are widely used in aerospace, automobile and biomedical industries due to their high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and durability. High speed machining (HSM) of CFRP material is needed to study the impact of cutting parameters on cutting forces and chip microstructure which offer vital inputs to the machinability and deformation characteristics of the material. In this work, the orthogonal machining of CFRP was conducted by varying the cutting parameters such as cutting speed and feed rate at high cutting speed/feed rate ranges up to 346 m/min/ 0.446 mm/rev. The impact of the cutting parameters on cutting forces (principal cutting, feed and thrust forces) and chip microstructure were analyzed. A significant impact on thrust forces and chip segmentation pattern was seen at higher feed rates and low cutting speeds.

A group of polycyclic and aliphatic azido-esters (as energetic plasticizers) have been synthesized by simple synthetic routes and their molecular structures were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. In addition, their thermal and rheological properties have been determined utilizing DSC, TGA, viscosity, and contact angle. Computational studies of these plasticizers have been performed by means of DFT (B3LYP/6-31G*) to estimate possible stable structures, energies, heat of formation, bond dissociation energies, IR and NMR spectra etc. Their compatibility with glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) binder was studied to explore their applicability in propellants. All of these molecules are novel and have been synthesized with the possibility of scale up.

Opis:
The past few decades have witnessed a tremendous increase in the consumption of antibiotics worldwide. This rampant and unregulated use of antibiotics and their improper disposal has led to the accumulation of these drugs in the environment. This in turn has led to the emergence of antibiotic resistance in microbes and has become one of the most pressing global concerns in medicine, with highly resistant pathogens of many species proving difficult to treat. The aim of the study was to synthesise silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using white rot fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus and assess its potential to carry out photocatalytic degradation of ampicillin. UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope have been used to characterize biosynthesized Ag-NPs. The photocatalytic degradation of ampicillin in aqueous solution by Ag-NPs was evaluated under natural sunlight. The effect of the operating conditions (contact time, Ag-NP concentration and initial ampicillin concentration) on the photocatalytic degradation was also investigated. The highest ampicillin degradation of 96.5% was observed after exposure of the solution (antibiotic + nanoparticles) for 4 h in sunlight. The maximum degradation was observed at an Ag-NP concentration of 5 ppm at pH 6. To the best of our knowledge, photocatalytic degradation of ampicillin using Ag-NPs synthesised by P. ostreatus has not been reported earlier.

The effects of 6- Benzylaminopurine (BA), different basal medium, sucrose concentration and gelling agent were investigated for shoot induction and multiplication of Acacia auriculiformis. Nodal explants derived from 5-month-old seedlings yielded the highest shoot multiplication rate in Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) with 0.44 μM BA, 30 g/L sucrose and 2 g/L Gelrite. The highest mean number of shoots (10) and mean length of shoots (5.07mm) were also obtained in this medium. Qualitative observation of the shoots cultured in 0.44 μM BA were greener and vigorous in growth as compared to shoots cultured on higher concentrations of BA (22.2 μM). MS medium produced a significantly higher number of shoots (18) compared to Woody Plant Medium (WPM) (11) and B5 medium (10). Media solidified with different gelling agents also produced a significantly different number of shoots with 2 g/L Gelrite produced the highest number of shoots (23). The highest percentage of shoots rooted was found in the MS medium without any growth regulators (40.0%) followed by medium supplemented with Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 9.84 μM and the combination of 9.84 μM IBA with 5.37 μM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (33.3%). MS medium without any plant growth regulators produced the highest mean root length (84.33mm), whereas medium supplemented with 9.84 μM IBA produced the highest mean number of roots per shoot (4.33). Out planting of in vitro rooted shoots in shredded coconut husk as the substrate gave the highest percentage of survival (90%) during acclimatization in the greenhouse.

Opis:
A spin-valve transistor showing high sensitivity at low fields was developed. A large magnetocurrent, above 500% is realized by a magnetic field change of 2 to 4 Oe at 80 K. Hot electrons are injected into the spin-valve layer through a Si-Pt Schottky diode. These hot electrons, while traversing through the spin-valve, are spin-dependently scattered. Those electrons with right energy and momentum are collected by a collector (an Au-Si Schottky diode) constituting a collector current. The relative orientation of the magnetic layer in the spin-valve is changed by the application of a magnetic field and causes a change in collector current giving a large magnetocurrent.

Opis:
Most cold rolling mills are prone to chatter problem. Chatter marks are often observed on the strip surface in cold rolling mill leading to downgrade and rejection of rolled material. Chatter impact product quality as well as productivity of mill. In absence of online chatter detection no corrective action can be taken immediately and whole campaign gets affected. Most conventional approach for online chatter detection is by using vibration measurement of mill stands in time & frequency domain. Present work proposes two approaches to detect chatter in cold rolling mill using a statistical technique called Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In this paper two methods are used for chatter detection. First method applies PCA on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to differentiate between chatter and non-chatter condition. Second method applies PCA on statistical parameters calculated from raw vibration data to detect chatter.

Opis:
Tidal characteristics of the Gulf of Khambhat are described based on measured and modelled sea-level data. Data were recorded at three locations inside and two locations outside the Gulf with record lengths of 6–12 months to study the tidal propagation. A northward increase in tidal amplitude is noticed from Daman (eastern side) and Diu (western side) and attains maxima at Bhavnagar. A similar trend is followed by the amplitude of the major tidal constituents, although there are discrepancies for that of the minor constituents. The non-tidal factor which influences the sea-level is the local wind, especially the alongshore component of wind. A positive correlation is obtained between the sea-level and the meridional component of wind at each location. Harmonic analysis of sea-level data shows that M2 is the major tidal constituent which propagates in a non-linear fashion inside the Gulf. Tides from two global tide models (MIKE21 and FES2014) have been compared with the measured data, which could be used for further prediction of the tides and sediment transport in the Gulf. The tide elevation derived from the MIKE21 model has further been used for the harmonic analysis of tide. The tides predicted using one-month data are up to 10% smaller than those predicted using the one-year data. The global tide model FES2014 data performs well with measured data for offshore locations, whereas it fails to predict the same for the inner Gulf locations. The study manifests the fact that to understand the dynamics of complex tidal areas, regional models should better be used than global tidal models.

Opis:
The electrical contactors play a crucial role in closing the circuit in many power distribution components like overhead lines, underground cables, circuit breakers, transformers, and control systems. The failure in these components mainly occurs due to the break-down of contactors due to the continuous opening and closing action of contacts. Silver (Ag)-based oxide contact materials are widely used in practice, among which silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) is most common. An attempt is made in increasing the performance of AgSnO2, by adding Tungsten Oxide (WO3) in various weight proportions, thus finding the optimal proportion of AgSnO2WO3 to have increased mechanical and electrical performances. All the composite samples are fabricated in-house using powder metallurgy process. The assessment of physical and electrical properties namely, density, hardness, porosity, and electrical conductivity, showed that 90%Ag-8.5%SnO2-1.5%WO3 composite yielded superior results. With help of morphological tests, wear characteristics are also investigated, which showed that 90%Ag-8.5%SnO2-1.5%WO2 composite has a wear coefficient of 0.000227 and a coefficient of friction of 0.174 at an optimized load of 10 N and sliding velocity of 0.5 mm/s.

Rubbers are interesting materials and are extensively used in many mining industries for material transportation. Wear of rubber is a very complex phenomenon to understand. The present study aims to explain the influence of rock properties on wear of M and SR grade rubber used in top cover of conveyor belts. Extensive laboratory experiments were conducted under four combinations of normal load and sliding speed. The wear of both the rubber types were analyzed based on the rock properties like shear strength, abrasivity index and fractal dimension. A fully instrumented testing set up was used to study the wear of rubber samples under different operating conditions. In general, wear was higher for M grade rubber compared to SR grade rubber. Increase in shear strength of rocks depicts decreasing trend for the wear of M and SR grade rubber at lower load conditions. Moreover, a higher load combination displays no definite trend in both the rubbers. The strong correlation between the wear of rubber and frictional power for all rubber-rock combinations has given rise to the parameter A, which reflects the relative compatibility between the rubber and rock. Increase of Cerchar’s Abrasivity Index of rocks shows gradual enhancement in wear for M grade rubber in all the load and speed combinations whereas, it fails in SR grade rubber due to its higher strength. The wear of rubber tends to decrease marginally with the surface roughness of rocks at highest normal load and sliding speed in M grade rubber. However, the wear of M and SR grade rubber is influenced by the surface roughness of rocks.

This paper reports the application of poly(azomethinethioamide) (PATA) resin having the pendent chlorobenzylidine ring for the removal of heavy metal ions such as Zn(II) and Ni(II) ions from the aqueous solutions by adsorption technology. Kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic models for Zn(II) and Ni(II) ions adsorption were applied by considering the effect of contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature data, respectively. The adsorption influencing parameters for the maximum removal of metal ions were optimized. Adsorption kinetic results followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model based on the correlation coefficient (R2) values and closed approach of experimental and calculated equilibrium adsorption capacity values. The removal mechanism of metal ions by PATA was explained with the Boyd kinetic model, Weber and Morris intraparticle diffusion model and Shrinking Core Model (SCM). Adsorption equilibrium results followed the Freundlich model based on the R2 values and error functions. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of PATA for Zn(II) and Ni(II) ions removal were found to be 105.4 mg/g and 97.3 mg/g, respectively. Thermodynamic study showed the adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic in nature.

Erythina stricta is an ecologically important tree species in the rainforests of India and its nectar within the flowers contributes to birds’ diet and survival. Reports on the pollination of this species have not been published so far. We therefore explore the reproductive system of this tree species which has great significance to its ecosystem. Birds have an important role in the reproduction of trees through pollination particularly in tropical areas where reproductive success mostly depends on animal pollinator interactions. Study of visitation and nectar feeding behaviour of birds alongwith breeding system assessment of Erythina stricta. Birds visiting and foraging behaviour was observed during Erythrina stricta flowering season in an indian tropical rainforest. Reproductive system was assessed through controlled pollination experiments. Thirteen bird species were recorded visiting and foraging nectar from the flowers of Erythrina stricta. The maximum numbers of visits recorded were from the Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer, Pycnonotidae). The nectar feeding birds were, either (i) potential pollinator with long bills (e.g. Pycnonotus spp., Chloropsis aurifrons, and Dicrurus spp.) or (ii) nectar robbers with comparatively shorter bills (e.g. Zosterops palpebrosa, Stachyris ruficeps, Macronous gularis, Heterophasia glaciris). Controlled pollination experiments revealed high degree of cross pollination (xenogamy) and self-incompatibility in E. stricta. Birds were more frequent in early mornings and their foraging activity was also observed during evening hours; the frequency however, declined with respect to nectar availability. Long corolla tubes of E. stricta could restrict access to nectar collecting bees

Opis:
The study presents long-term variability in satellite retrieved phytoplankton size classes (PSC) at two coastal sites, off Gopalpur and Visakhapatnam, in the north-western Bay of Bengal. The abundance-based models by Brewin et al. (2010) (B10) and Sahay et al. (2017) (S17), for retrieval of PSC (micro, nano, and picophytoplankton), from satellite data, were validated. Both the models performed well in the retrieval of nano and microphytoplankton. However, B10 performed poorly in retrieving picophytoplankton. The statistical analysis indicated better performance of the S17 model and hence was applied to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer onboard Aqua satellite (MODISA) data to understand the temporal (at monthly climatology) and spatial variability (from nearshore to offshore). The spatial distribution indicated nearshore dominance of micro and offshore dominance of picophytoplankton. In nearshore waters off Gopalpur, microphytoplankton dominated throughout the year except for months of south-west monsoon (June and July) where the dominance of picophytoplankton was observed. All PSC exhibited similar distribution at an annual scale with a primary peak during pre-monsoon (March and April) and a secondary peak during post-monsoon (September— November). However, microphytoplankton concentration during post-monsoon was higher off Gopalpur in comparison to Visakhapatnam. The higher microphytoplankton concentration during pre-monsoon was attributed to recurrent phytoplankton blooms. Whereas, post-monsoon increment could be attributed to enhanced phytoplankton growth by availing nutrients sourced from monsoonal precipitation induced terrigenous influx. The outcome of the present study recommends the use of the S17 model for satellite retrieval of PSC from the north-western Bay of Bengal.

Opis:
The present paper dealt with the annual dynamics of the absorption coefficient of chromophoric dissolved organic matter at 440 nm {aCDOM(440)} during February 2015 to January 2016 in the continental shelf of northern Bay of Bengal (nBoB) for the first time. Sea surface salinity (SSS), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), total suspended matter (TSM) were also analyzed. It was hypothesized that CDOM should exhibit significant spatial and temporal variability in this region. aCDOM(440) and spectral slope ranged between 0.1002 m1—0.6631 m1 and 0.0071 nm1— 0.0229 nm1 respectively during the entire study period. Higher values of aCDOM(440) were observed in the near shore stations and gradually decreased towards the offshore. Significant seasonal variability of aCDOM(440) was observed between the monsoon and non-monsoon seasons ( p < 0.05). Thus the framed hypothesis was successfully accepted by means of the present study. The CDOM was mainly found to be of allochthonous character in this region. aCDOM(440) portrayed a significant negative linear relationship with SSS (R2 = 0.80; p < 0.05) implying conservative mixing of marine and terrestrial end members. However, examining the spatial variability of the relationship, it was observed that this relationship was significant only in the nearshore stations. While examining the seasonal variability of this relationship, it was found to be most significant during the monsoon (R2 = 0.81; p < 0.05). Thus it was inferred that whenever the SSS gradient was higher, the relationship between aCDOM(440) and SSS was found to be most significant.

MRI is one of medical diagnostic imaging technologies that can draw the cross section in the body. To obtain a clearer image, Gd complexes are often used as MRI contrast agents. Gd-DTPA (Gd-Diethylenetriaminepentaacetate, Magnevist registered trademark ) is used in particular as the MRI contrast agents. We prepared and evaluated novel MRI contrast agents that were chemically modified Gd-DTPA with sugars (represented as Gd-DTPA-Sugar) via hydrolysis route for providing specificity to target organs and tissues. Gd-DTPASugar complex showed an excellent potential for the MRI contrast agent (r1=31.2 s-1mM-1). Gd-DTPA-Sugar complexes alternatively prepared by shorter synthetic route without protection/ deprotection (hydrolysis) method showed inferior results (r1=6.3 and 8.1 s-1mM-1) to the hydlized product.

Thin films of $Se_{90}Sb_{10-x}Ag_x$ (x=0, 2, 4, 6, 8) glasses have been prepared by vacuum evaporation technique. Present study reports the quantitative estimation of light induced defects in aforesaid thin films by using thermally stimulated current technique. Measurements have been made in a vacuum ≈10¯³ Torr before and after exposing amorphous films to white light for different exposure times (0 to 6 h). Results indicate that light induced defects are created due to prolonged exposure of light and this is explained by a microscopic model proposed by Shimakawa and co-workers. It is also found that fractional increase in light induced defect density decreases as Ag concentration increases. A discontinuity has, however, been observed at 4 at.% of Ag which is explained in terms of average coordination number.

This article deals with the study of a thermoelastic nanobeam in a modified couple stress theory subjected to ramp-type heating. The mathematical model is prepared for the nanobeam in thermoelastic three-phase-lag. The Laplace transform and the eigenvalue approach are used to find the displacement component, lateral deflection, temperature change and axial stress of the thermoelastic beam. The general algorithm of the inverse Laplace transform is developed to compute results numerically. The comparison of three-phase-lag, dual-phaselag and GN-III (1993) models are represented, and their illustration is depicted graphically. This study finds the applications in engineering, medical science, sensors, etc.

Opis:
Content based Image Retrieval systems are now used in various automated systems because they largely produce accurate results as they do not depend on the metadata for telling what the image is but rather define it on the basis contents of the image like color, shape, texture and spatial locations. Content based Image retrieval systems have a repository of similar images and when a query image is presented to system it matches similar images in the database. This process aids in various applications like security checks to medical diagnosis. But all CBIR systems in common have to store the images which take a huge space. Here in this work, a unique approach is being devised to reduce the space complexity for a CBIR system used for detecting cervical cancer. When it comes to medical image it is not the question of how to reduce space, but along with it, the original contents of the image also has to be preserved.

Wedle naszej najlepszej wiedzy, do tej pory stworzono jedynie dwie metody analityczne precyzyjnego rozwiązywania rozmytych równań różniczkowych. W artykule wskazano wady jednej z istniejących metod oraz zaproponowano nową metodę rozwiązywania równań różniczkowych, nazwaną metodą Mehar, w której wady te zostały wyeliminowane. Aby wykazać przewagę metody Mehar nad istniejącą metodą, rozwiązano za pomocą obu tych metod rozmyte równania różniczkowe Kołmogorowa wyprowadzone przy użyciu rozmytego markowowskiego modelu systemu produkcji tłoków. Wykazano, że wyniki otrzymane z wykorzystaniem istniejącej metody, mogą ale nie muszą być liczbami rozmytymi, natomiast wyniki otrzymane przy pomocy metody Mehar zawsze stanowią liczbę rozmytą.
To the best of our knowledge till now there are only two analytical methods for finding the exact solution of fuzzy differential equations. In this paper, the shortcoming of one of these existing methods is pointed out. To overcome the shortcoming of the existing method, a new method, named as Mehar's method, is proposed for solving fuzzy differential equations. To show the advantage of Mehar's method over existing method the fuzzy Kolmogorov's differential equations, developed by using fuzzy Markov model of piston manufacturing system, are solved by using the existing and Mehar's method and it is shown that the results, obtained by using the existing method, may or may not be fuzzy number while the results, obtained by using Mehar's method, are always fuzzy number.

The characterization of the base material (BM), fusion zone (FZ), heat affected zone (HAZ) and, partially melted zone is carried out using the suitable characterization methods. The weld quality is characterized using ultrasonic-assisted non-destructive evaluation. A-scan result confirms that the ATIG welded samples have more DOP and less bead width as compared to conventional TIG. The recorded tensile strength of ATIG with SiO2 is better than the conventional TIG welding. The failure mode is ductile for ATIG welding with larger fracture edges and is brittle in the case of conventional TIG welding.

Text retrieval using Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) with truncated Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) has been intensively studied in recent years. However, the expensive complexity involved in computing truncated SVD constitutes a major drawback of the LSI method. In this paper, we demonstrate how matrix rank approximation can influence the effectiveness of information retrieval systems. Besides, we present an implementation of the LSI method based on an eigenvalue analysis for rank approximation without computing truncated SVD, along with its computational details. Significant improvements in computational time while maintaining retrieval accuracy are observed over the tested document collections.

Tea is the most common beverage in the world. It is consumed mostly as green tea, oolong, or black tea. Depending on the manufacturing process, different varieties of tea can be produced. As tea is one of the most popular beverages, it could be a tremendously important source of polyphenolic constituents. Tea leaves are a source of polyphenols, especially catechins, which are known for their antioxidative activity. Various studies suggest that polyphenolic compounds present in black tea are associated with beneficial effects in prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, anti-aging, antidiabetic and many other health beneficial effects associated with tea consumption have been reported. The review highlights the potential of black tea, its health benefits in terms of antioxidative, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic properties as well as protective agents against cardiovascular diseases.

Opis:
Both seed and root extracts of the medicinal plant, Ashwagandha, Withania somnifera exhibit insect growth regulatory activity against the polyphagous pest, Pericallia ricini. Topical administration of W. somnifera seed and root extracts to last instar larvae of P. ricini disrupted moulting and metamorphosis, leading to a number of developmental abnormalities such as delay in larval-pupal and pupal-adult ecdysis, formation of larval-pupal, pupal- -adult and larval-pupal-adult mosaics/chimeras, ecdysial failure, suppression of pupation and adult emergence and formation of abnormal pupae and adultoids. The treatment with seed extracts was more severe than that of root extracts as it completely suppressed the pupation and adult emergence. The results clearly suggest that the medicinal plant, W. somnifera acts as a potential insect growth regulatory (IGR) disrupting the moulting and metamorphosis as a consequence of interference with the endocrine system.

Opis:
Background: In the current business environment, competition is no longer between the organisations but it is among the supply chains of the organisations. India's public distribution system is one of the biggest systems for food supply and distribution carried out through fair price shop (FPS). There is a wide gap concerning the empirical study on the fair price shops (FPS) and this is the rationale of the study. The paper aims to determine the relationship between different supply chain management practices and operational performance of the fair price shops in India. The authors propose the theoretical framework and empirically test the model. The study aims to expand the knowledge structure of supply chain management field. Methods: The paper opted for an exploratory cum descriptive study. The authors randomly selected 200 Fair price shops from a list available on the government website and identified the key persons from each shop as the respondent to get our questionnaire filled. The data were collected using structured questionnaire. Total 200 questionnaires were given to MBA students to collect the data from those fair price shops dealers who qualify the screening questions and situated in Bhopal Madhya Pradesh (India) in the month of March - April' 2017. Finally, 87 useful questionnaires were obtained, with a response rate of 43.5%, Authors employed the PLS-structural equation modelling (SEM) to test the theoretical model and hypothesis. Results: The study provides that three dimensions of SCM practices have a significant and positive relationship with the operational performance. The paper provides empirical insights about how change is brought about operational performance of the fair price shops. It suggests that supply chain management practices positively & significantly associated with the performance of fair price shops. Conclusion: This paper emphasizes the importance of supply chain management practices on the day to day operations of the fair price shops and provides an insight that these practices if employed properly they will give an added advantage. The study fulfils an identified need to study how supply chain management practices can impact the performance of fair price shops and the study directly measures the impact of supply chain management practices on operational performance of the fair price shops in India. The biggest limitation of this study is the size of the sample. Thus the research results may not be generalized. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed framework at a broader level.
Wstęp: W obecnie istniejącym środowisku biznesowym, należy mówić raczej o rywalizacji nie między poszczególnymi organizacjami a sieciami organizacji. Indyjski publiczny system dystrybucji jest jednym z największych systemów dostaw i dystrybucji żywności realizowany poprzez sieć sklepów tzw. fair price (FPS). Pomimo tego faktu stosunkowo mało jest badań naukowych dotyczących tego typu sieci. Celem pracy jest określenie zależności pomiędzy różnymi metodami zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw i działaniami operacyjnymi tego typu sklepów w Indiach. Autorzy zaproponowali model teoretyczny oraz test empiryczny. Celem pracy jest poszerzenie wiedzy strukturalnej na temat zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw. Metody: Została wybrana próba losowa 200 sklepów typu fair price z listy dostępnej na stronie rządowej. Następnie zidentyfikowano osobę kluczową z każdego sklepu, jako ankietera uczestniczącego w badaniu. Dane zostały zebrane poprzez specjalnie stworzony kwestionariusz. Wywiady zostały przeprowadzone przez studentów MBA z wybranymi uprzednio osobami. Były one zbierane w Bhopal Madhya Pradesh w okresie marzec-kwiecień 2017. W rezultacie otrzymano 87 kompletnych kwestionariuszy (współczynnik udziału 43,5%). Model SEM strukturalnego równania PLS został użyty do testowania modelu teoretycznego i hipotez. Wyniki: Badania wykazały, że trzy wymiary metod zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw mają istotną i pozytywną zależność z działalnością operacyjną. Pokazały empirycznie jak zmiany wpływają na działalność operacyjną sklepów fair price. Wskazują, ze metody zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw pozytywnie i istotnie związane są z działalnością sklepów typu fair price. Wnioski: Praca wskazuje na istotny wpływ metod zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw na bieżąca działalność sklepów typu fair price oraz dowodzi pozytywny wpływ tych praktyk prawidłowo wdrożonych na uzyskanie wartości dodanej. Przeprowadzone badania uzupełniają lukę w badaniach nad wpływem metod zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw na działalność sklepów typu fair price w Indiach. Największym ograniczeniem tego badania była próba, na podstawie której uzyskano wyniki. W związku z tym nie jest możliwe uogólnienie tych wyników. Badania tego typu należałoby kontynuować w szerszym zakresie.

Opis:
In the present study, research is carried out on deriving modified analytical equations for finding shear stress distribution and known as Modified Shear Stress models (SSM) beneath plain wheels (small and large) on TRI-1 lunar soil simulant. In all four models, the Reece model, Bekker model, Wong-Reece model and Iagnemma model, normal stress and shear stress are determined, and the shear stress determination is based on the Janosi and Hanamoto (1961) model. There exists ample scope for modifying this model. A modified model for shear stress distribution is developed and the same is discussed in this paper.

Opis:
In this paper, three stress distribution models are considered, namely: Reece from 1965, Bekker from 1969, Wong-Reece from 1967. Two types of wheels are considered for the preset study, i.e., a small wheel with diameter of 160 mm and width 32 mm, whereas for a large wheel with diameter of 210 mm and width of 50 mm. TRI-1 or Tiruchirappalli soil simulant is considered for the interaction studies, which is an anorthosite based lunar soil simulant. The normal stress, shear stress and vertical forces are determined when the wheel starts moving on TRI-1 soil simulant. Entry and exit angles are also calculated for all models to estimate vertical forces. The maximum normal stress found for the small wheel was 32.121 kN/m2 (Wong-Reece model). In the case of the large wheel, the maximum normal stress was found to be 39.016 kN/m2 (Reece model). Vertical forces are found from the obtained normal stresses and shear stresses, and are presented graphically. The dimensionless stress ratio of both the wheels for the considered models, i.e., DNSR and DSSR, is also found.

Opis:
Cooling slope casting is a simple technique to produce semi-solid feedstock with a non-dendritic structure. The cooling slope technique depends on various parameters like slope length, slope angle, pouring temperature etc, that has been investigated in the present study. This work presents an extensive study to comprehend the combined effect of slope angle, slope length, pouring temperature, on hardness and microstructure of A383 alloy. Response Surface Methodology was adopted for design of experiments with varying process parameters i.e. slope angle between 15o to 60o, slope length between 400 to 700 mm, and pouring temperature between 560 oC to 600 oC. The response factor hardness was analysed using ANOVA to understand the effect of input parameters and their interactions. The hardness was found to be increasing with increased slope length and pouring temperature; and decreased with slope angle. The empirical relation for response with parameters were established using the regression analysis and are incorporated in an optimization model. The optimum hardness with non-dendritic structure of A383 alloy was obtained at 27o slope angle, 596.5 mm slope length and 596 oC pouring temperature. The results were successfully verified by confirmation experiment, which shows around 2% deviation from the predicted hardness (87.11 BHN).

Opis:
The stretching sheets with variable thickness may occur in engineering applications more frequently than a flat sheet. Due to its various applications, in the present analysis we considered a three dimensional unsteady MHD nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet with a variable wall thickness in a porous medium. The effects of radiation, viscous dissipation and slip boundary conditions are considered. Buongiorno’s model is incorporated to study the combined effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using MATLAB bvp4c package. The impact of various important flow parameters is presented and analysed through graphs and tables. It is interesting to note that all the three boundary layer thicknesses are diminished by slip parameters. Further, the unsteady parameter decreases the hydromagnetic boundary layer thickness.

Opis:
Owing to the ecological requirements and regulations, an enormous concern is being paid to the product re-processing. In the established literature, researchers considered that the remanufactured items are as good as the new ones. Yet, such an assumption is not convenient, as in many real situations the recycled products are considered by the customers to be of secondary quality. Further, the classical studies mainly addressed the inventory models without shortages, and this is not applicable in many practical business situations. This paper extends the reverse logistics inventory models with finite production and remanufacturing rate along with the assumption that newly produced and repaired (remanufactured) objects are not of same characteristics. Shortages are allowed and numerous stock-out cases are discussed. The collected used items are remanufactured (repaired) and non-repaired products are disposed off. The proposed models are illustrated with some numerical examples and their results are discussed.

Opis:
Methane is a most important greenhouse gas for planetary heating and it’s produced by methanogenic microorganisms as a metabolic byproduct and creates climate change. Methanogens are ancient organisms on earth found in anaerobic environments and methane is a key greenhouse gas concerned with methanogens. Therefore here is intense interest to writing this paper. A number of experiments have already conducted to study the methanogens in various environments such as rumen and intestinal system of animals, fresh water and marine sediments, swamps and marshes, hot springs, sludge digesters, and within anaerobic protozoa which utilize carbon dioxide in the presence of hydrogen and produce methane. The diversity of methanogens, belong to the domain Archaea and get involved in biological production of methane that catalyzes the degradation of organic compound as a part of global carbon cycle called methanogenesis. Majorly in this article we summaries the diversity of methanogens and their impact on global warming.

The present research addresses the low-temperature sintering of 4% kaolin clay reinforced aluminium composite using susceptor-aided microwave sintering at 2.45 GHz frequency. Kaoline clay the naturally available mineral in the north-eastern regions of india. The study aims to convert this kaoline clay into the value added product with enhanced mechanical properties. The Al-x% Kaolin (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) composite was fabricated through the powder metallurgy process by the application of 600 MPa compaction pressure. The composite corresponding to optimum ultimate tensile strength (U.T.S) was subjected to single-mode cavity microwave-assisted sintering by varying the sintering temperatures as 500°C, 550°C and 600°C. The effect of incorporating kaolin clay on the dielectric characteristics of composite powders, as well as the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructural changes and mechanical characteristics of Al-4%Kaolin composites were also examined. Results concluded that the addition of 4 wt% kaolin powder improves the dielectric characteristics of the composite powder. The maximum Hardness. Compression strength and U.T.S of 97 Hv, 202 MPa and 152 MPa respectively achieved for the Al-4% Kaolin composite sintered at 550°C. The higher fracture toughness of 9.56 Ma. m1/2 reveals the ductile fracture for the composite sintered at 550°C.

The present investigation aims at fabricating a functionally graded Al-6Cr-Y2O3 composite and its microstructural and property characterization. Al-6Cr-alloys with varying percentage of Y2O3 (5-10 vol. %) have been used to fabricate FGM by powder metallurgy route. The samples were subsequently subjected to solution treatment at 610°C for 4h followed by artificially aged at 310°C for 4h. The microstructure, hardness and wear behavior of these FGM have been evaluated. FGM exhibited superior hardness (360 ± 5 VHN) as compared to the unprocessed composites (220 ± 5 VHN) due to the uniform dispersion of Y2O3 particles. Wear resistance of Al-6Cr-10Y2O3 FGM were compared that of with pure Al-6Cr alloy by dry abrasive wear test. Al-6Cr-10Y2O3 FGM composites were found to exhibit higher wear resistance with the minimum wear rate of 0.009 mm3/m compared to the Al-6Cr alloy wear rate 0.02 mm3/m.

The paper presents an extensive review investigating the practical aspects related to the use of single- number ratings used in describing the sound insulation performance of partition wall panels and practical complications encountered in precise measurements in extensive frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 kHz. SWOT analysis of various single number ratings is described. A laboratory investigation on a double wall partition panel combination revealed the significant dependence of STC rating on transmission loss at 125 Hz attributed to 8 dB rule. An investigation conducted on devising alternative spectrums of aircraft noise, traffic noise, vehicular horn noise and elevated metro train noise as an extension to ISO 717-1 Ctr for ascertaining the sound insulation properties of materials exclusively towards these noise sources revealed that the single-number rating Rw + Ctr calculated using ISO 717-1 Ctr gives the minimum sound insulation, when compared with Rw + Cx calculated using the alternative spectrums of aircraft noise, traffic noise, etc., which means that material provides a higher sound insulation to the other noise sources. It is also observed that spectrum adaptation term Cx calculated using the spectrum of noise sources having high sound pressure levels in lower frequencies decreases as compared to ISO 717-1 Ctr owing to significant dependence of Ctr at lower frequencies.

The paper presents application of Taguchi method in optimizing the sound transmission loss through sandwich gypsum constructions and those comprising of masonry concrete blocks and gypsum boards in order to investigate the relative influence of the various parameters affecting the sound transmission loss. The application of Taguchi method for optimizing sound transmission loss has been rarely reported. The present work uses the results analytically predicted on “Insul” software for various sandwich material configurations as desired by each experimental run in an L8 orthogonal array. The relative importance of the parameters on single-number rating, Rw (C, Ctr) is evaluated in terms of percentage contribu- tion using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The ANOVA method reveals that type of studs, steel stud frame and number of gypsum layers attached are the key factors controlling the sound transmission loss characteristics of sandwich multi-layered constructions.

Conceptual space framework is used for representing knowledge in cognitive systems. In this paper, we have adapted conceptual space framework for prosthetic arm considering its cognitive abilities such as receiving signals, recognizing and decoding the signal and responding with the corresponding action in order to develop a conceptual space of the prosthetic arm. Cognitive functionalities such as learning, memorizing and distinguishing configurations of prosthetic arm are achieved via its conceptual space. To our knowledge, this work is the first attempt to adapt the conceptual spaces to model cognitive functionalities of prosthetic arm. Adding to this, we have made use of different notion of concept that reflects the topological structure in concepts. To model the actions of the prosthetic arm functionalities, we have made use of force patterns to represent action. Similarly, to model the distinguishing ability, we make use of the relationship between the attributes conveyed by adapted different notion of concept.

Opis:
The effects of magnetic field and heat source strength on thermal convection of a compressible rotating ferromagnetic fluid through a porous medium are investigated theoretically using linear stability theory. A normal mode analysis method is employed to find solutions for the fluid layer confined between parallel planes with free boundaries. The cases of stationary and oscillatory instabilities are discussed. For the stationary state, compressibility, medium porosity and temperature gradient due to heat source have destabilizing effects, whereas rotation and ratio of magnetic permeability delay the onset of convection. The magnetic field and medium permeability have both stabilizing and destabilizing effects under certain conditions. The variations in the stationary critical thermal Rayleigh number and neutral instability curves in (Ra1, x)-plane for various values of physical parameters are shown graphically to depict the stability characteristics. The sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability are obtained and the principle of exchange of stabilities holds true in the absence of magnetic field and rotation under certain conditions.

Opis:
One major reason for the lack of clinical success of Staphylococcus aureus vaccine candidates is the inability of the antigens to develop a CD4+ T cell-mediated immune response. Hence, it is important to identify CD4+ T cell antigens from S. aureus. CD4+ T cells are activated following the presentation of epitopes derived from exogenous proteins on HLA class II molecules. Fifty-nine secretory proteins of S. aureus were analyzed computationally for the presence of HLA class II binding peptides. Fifteen-mer peptides were generated, and their binding to 26 HLA class II alleles was predicted. The structural feasibility of the peptides binding to HLA-II was studied using molecular docking. Of the 16,724 peptides generated, 6991 (41.8%) were predicted to bind to any one of the alleles with an IC50 value below 50 nM. Comparative sequence analysis revealed that only 545 of the strong binding peptides are non-self in the human system. Approximately 50% of the binding peptides were monoallele-specific. Moreover, approximately 95% of the predicted strong binding non-self peptides interacted with the binding groove of at least one HLA class II molecule with a glide score better than !10 kcal/mol. On the basis of the analysis of the strength of binding, non-self presentation in the human host, propensity to bind to a higher number of alleles, and energetically favorable interactions with HLA molecules, a set of 11 CD4+ T cell epitopes that can be used as vaccine candidates was identified.

Opis:
Groundwater contamination due to leakage of gasoline is one of the several causes which affect the groundwater environment by polluting it. In the past few years, In-situ bioremediation has attracted researchers because of its ability to remediate the contaminant at its site with low cost of remediation. This paper proposed the use of a new hybrid algorithm to optimize a multi-objective function which includes the cost of remediation as the first objective and residual contaminant at the end of the remediation period as the second objective. The hybrid algorithm was formed by combining the methods of Differential Evolution, Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing. Support Vector Machines (SVM) was used as a virtual simulator for biodegradation of contaminants in the groundwater flow. The results obtained from the hybrid algorithm were compared with Differential Evolution (DE), Non Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA II) and Simulated Annealing (SA). It was found that the proposed hybrid algorithm was capable of providing the best solution. Fuzzy logic was used to find the best compromising solution and finally a pumping rate strategy for groundwater remediation was presented for the best compromising solution. The results show that the cost incurred for the best compromising solution is intermediate between the highest and lowest cost incurred for other non-dominated solutions.
Zanieczyszczenie wód gruntowych wyciekami benzyny jest jedną z kilku przyczyn wpływających na środowisko wód podziemnych. W ostatnich latach bioremediacja in situ przyciągała uwagę badaczy z powodu jej zdolności do usuwania zanieczyszczeń w ich siedlisku i niskich kosztów procesu. Przedstawiona praca proponuje użycie nowego algorytmu hybrydowego do optymalizacji wielozadaniowej funkcji, która obejmuje koszty remediacji jako pierwsze zadanie i resztową zawartość zanieczyszczeń po zakończeniu procesu jako drugie z zadań. Algorytm hybrydowy powstał z połączenia metod różnicowej ewolucji, algorytmu genetycznego i symulowanego wyżarzania. Maszyna wektorów nośnych (SVM) została użyta jako wirtualny symulator biologicznej degradacji zanieczyszczeń w wodach gruntowych. Wyniki uzyskane z algorytmy hybrydowego porównano z wynikami zróżnicowanej ewolucji (DE), algorytmu genetycznego (NSGA II) i symulowanego wyżarzania (SA). Stwierdzono, że proponowany algorytm był w stanie zapewnić najlepsze rozwiązanie. Użyto metody z zakresu logiki rozmytej dla znalezienia najlepszego rozwiązania kompromisowego i na końcu przedstawiono dla tego rozwiązania strategię szybkości pompowania celem remediacji wód gruntowych. Wyniki pokazały, że koszty ponoszone na rozwiązanie kompromisowe są pośrednie między najwyższymi i najniższymi kosztami innych rozwiązań.

Opis:
The present paper deals with a reliability model incorporating the idea of degradation, inspection and priority. The units may fail completely directly from normal mode. There is a single server who visits the system immediately when required. The original unit undergoes for repair upon failure while only replacement of the duplicate unit is made by similar new one. The original unit does not work as new after repair and so called degraded unit. The system is considered in up-state if any one of new/duplicate/degraded unit is operative. The server inspects the degraded unit at its failure to see the feasibility of repair. If repair of the degraded unit is not feasible, it is replaced by new one similar to the original unit in negligible time. The priority for operation to the new unit is given over the duplicate unit. The distribution of failure time follow negative exponential where as the distributions of inspection, repair and replacement times are assumed as arbitrary. The system is observed at suitable regenerative epochs by using regenerative point technique to evaluate mean time to system failure (MTSF), steady-state availability, busy period and expected number of visits by the server. A particular case is considered to see graphically the trend of mean time to system failure (MTSF), availability and profit with respect to different parameters.
Niniejsza praca dotyczy modelu niezawodności uwzględniającego zagadnienia degradacji, kontroli stanu oraz priorytetowości zadań. Elementy mogą ulegać całkowitemu uszkodzeniu bezpośrednio z trybu normalnego. Istnieje jeden konserwator, który odwiedza system, gdy tylko zachodzi taka potrzeba. W przypadku uszkodzenia, element oryginalny podlega naprawie, podczas gdy element zapasowy (duplikat) podlega jedynie wymianie na nowy, podobny. Po naprawie, element oryginalny nie działa już jako element nowy lecz jako element zdegradowany. System uważa się za zdatny jeżeli pracuje którykolwiek z trzech typów elementów: nowy/rezerwowy/zdegradowany. W przypadku uszkodzenia elementu zdegradowanego, konserwator przeprowadza kontrolę stanu elementu, aby stwierdzić możliwość realizacji naprawy. Jeżeli naprawa elementu zdegradowanego jest niemożliwa, zostaje on wymieniony, w czasie pomijalnym, na element nowy, podobny do elementu oryginalnego. Nowy element uzyskuje priorytet pracy w stosunku do elementu rezerwowego. Rozkład czasu uszkodzenia jest rozkładem wykładniczym ujemnym, a rozkłady czasów kontroli stanu, naprawy i wymiany przyjmuje się jako rozkłady dowolne. System obserwuje się w odpowiednich okresach odnowy wykorzystując technikę odnowy RPT (regenerative point technique) w celu ocenienia średniego czasu do uszkodzenia systemu (MTSF), gotowości stacjonarnej, okresu zajętości oraz oczekiwanej liczby wizyt konserwatora. Przebiegi MTSF, gotowości i zysków w funkcji różnych parametrów przedstawiono w formie graficznej na podstawie studium przypadku.

Opis:
For studying mechanism of sediment transport in river flows, open channel flow is a prototype. Flow has always three components of velocity for all types of channel geometry and for a time independent uniform flow along streamwise or main flow direction, all the components of velocity are functions of lateral and vertical coordinates. The present study investigates the two dimensional distribution of streamwise (or longitudinal) velocity starting from the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equation for a turbulent open channel flow which is steady and uniform along the main flow direction. Secondary flows both along the vertically upward direction and along the lateral direction are considered which are also taken as functions of lateral and vertical coordinates. Inclusion of the secondary current brings the effect of dip phenomenon in the model. The resulting second order partial differential equation is solved numerically. The model is validated for all the cross-sectional, transverse and centreline velocity distribution by comparing with existing relevant set of experimental data and also with an existing model. Comparison results show good agreement with data as well as with the previous model proving the efficiency of the model. It is found that the transverse velocity distribution depends on the formation of circular vortex in the cross-sectional plane and becomes periodic as the number of circular vortex increases for increasing aspect ratios.

Opis:
This paper deals with the wear characteristics and defects developed during friction stir welding at different process parameter of aluminium alloy (AA) 6061-T6 having thickness 6 mm. Four welded samples are prepared with rotational speed 500 rpm, 710 rpm, 1000 rpm and with welding speed of 25 mm/min & 40 mm/min. Welded samples and base material are put in wear condition under grinding machine for 120 s. Material removal is measure by taking the difference of weight before and after wear. Different types of defects and fracture are observed on the wear surface. These defects and fractures are analysed under field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). It is concluded that material removal from welded sample is less compared to base metal, hence wear resistance increases after friction stir welding.
Praca dotyczy charakterystyki zużycia i uszkodzeń podczas zgrzewania tarciowego z przemieszaniem stopu aluminium (AA) 6061T6 o grubości 6 mm dla zmiennych parametrów. Cztery zgrzewane próbki były wykonane z prędkością obrotową 500 obr/min, 710 obr/min, 1000 obr/min dla prędkości zgrzewania 25 mm/min i 40 mm/min. Zgrzewane próbki i materiał bazowy były poddawane zużywaniu za pomocą szlifierki w czasie 120 s. Ubytek materiału mierzono jako różnicę wagi przed i po zużywaniu. Różne rodzaje wad i pęknięć zaobserwowano na zużytej powierzchni. Wady i pęknięcia analizowano za pomocą mikroskopu polowego (FESEM). Stwierdzono, że ubytek materiału ze zgrzewanych próbek jest mniejszy w porównaniu z ubytkiem dotyczącym materiału bazowego. Zwiększa się więc odporność na zużycie po zgrzewaniu tarciowym z przemieszaniem.

Opis:
This paper presents two reliability models of a single-unit system with the concept of preventive maintenance (PM) beyond warranty and degradation. In both the models, repair of any failure during warranty is cost-free to the users, provided failures are not due to the negligence of users. There is a single repairman who always remains with the system. Beyond warranty, the unit goes under PM and works as new after PM (in both models). In model-1, the unit works as new after its repair beyond warranty whereas; in model-2, the unit becomes degraded. After failure, the degraded unit is replaced by a new one. The failure time of the system follows negative exponential distribution while PM, replacement and repair time distributions are taken as arbitrary with different probability density functions. Supplementary variable technique is adopted to derive the expressions for some economic measures such as reliability, mean time to system failure (MTSF), availability and profit function. Using Abel’s lemma, the behaviour of the system in steady-state has been examined. To highlight the behaviour of reliability and profit function, numerical results are considered for particular values of various parameters and repair cost. Profit comparison of both the models is also made to see the usefulness of the concept of degradation.
W artykule przedstawiono dwa modele niezawodności systemu jednoelementowego wykorzystujące pojęcia pogwarancyjnej obsługi profilaktycznej oraz degradacji. Oba modele zakładają, że w okresie gwarancyjnym użytkownik nie ponosi żadnych kosztów związanych z naprawą uszkodzeń, chyba że uszkodzenie powstało wskutek zaniedbania ze strony użytkownika. Obsługi są wykonywane przez jedną ekipę remontową, która zawsze pozostaje na stanowisku. Po upływie okresu gwarancyjnego, urządzenie podlega obsłudze profilaktycznej i po jej przeprowadzeniu działa jak nowe (w obu modelach). Model 1 zakłada, że element po naprawie pogwarancyjnej działa jak nowy, natomiast w Modelu 2, element ulega degradacji. Zdegradowany element, który uległ uszkodzeniu, zostaje wymieniony na nowy. Rozkład czasu uszkodzenia jest rozkładem wykładniczym ujemnym, a rozkłady czasu obsługi profilaktycznej, wymiany i naprawy są traktowane jako arbitralne, o różnych funkcjach gęstości prawdopodobieństwa. Zastosowana technika dodatkowej zmiennej pozwoliła na wyprowadzenie wyrażeń dla niektórych miar ekonomicznych, takich jak niezawodność, średni czas do uszkodzenia systemu (MTSF), gotowość i funkcja zysków. Zachowanie systemu w stanie ustalonym badano z wykorzystaniem lematu Abela. Aby przedstawić zachowanie funkcji niezawodności i zysków, analizowano wyniki numeryczne dla poszczególnych wartości różnych parametrów oraz kosztów naprawy. Porównanie zyskowności badanych modeli umożliwiło weryfikację przydatności pojęcia degradacji.

Opis:
Sentiment analysis is an efficient technique for expressing users’ opinions (neutral, negative or positive) regarding specific services or products. One of the important benefits of analyzing sentiment is in appraising the comments that users provide or service providers or services. In this work, a solution known as adaptive rider feedback artificial tree optimization-based deep neuro-fuzzy network (RFATO-based DNFN) is implemented for efficient sentiment grade classification. Here, the input is pre-processed by employing the process of stemming and stop word removal. Then, important factors, e.g. SentiWordNet-based features, such as the mean value, variance, as well as kurtosis, spam word-based features, term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) features and emoticon-based features, are extracted. In addition, angular similarity and the decision tree model are employed for grouping the reviewed data into specific sets. Next, the deep neuro-fuzzy network (DNFN) classifier is used to classify the sentiment grade. The proposed adaptive rider feedback artificial tree optimization (A-RFATO) approach is utilized for the training of DNFN. The A-RFATO technique is a combination of the feedback artificial tree (FAT) approach and the rider optimization algorithm (ROA) with an adaptive concept. The effectiveness of the proposed A-RFATO-based DNFN model is evaluated based on such metrics as sensitivity, accuracy, specificity, and precision. The sentiment grade classification method developed achieves better sensitivity, accuracy, specificity, and precision rates when compared with existing approaches based on Large Movie Review Dataset, Datafiniti Product Database, and Amazon reviews.

A three-phase-lag (TPL) model is proposed to describe heat transfer in a finite domain skin tissue with temperature dependent metabolic heat generation. The Laplace transform method is applied to solve the problem. Three special types of heat flux are applied to the boundary of skin tissue for thermal therapeutic applications. The depth of tissue is influenced by the different oscillation heat flux. The comparison between the TPL and dual-phase-lag (DPL) models is analyzed and the effects of phase lag parameters […] and material constant […] on the tissue temperature distribution are presented graphically.

Opis:
Weakly permeable micro-tubes are employed in many applications involving heat and/or mass transfer. During these processes, either solute concentration builds up (mass transfer) or steep change in temperature (heat transfer) takes place near the permeable wall causing a change in the viscosity of the fluid. Results of the present work suggest that such change in viscosity leads to a considerable alteration in the flow behavior, and the commonly assumed parabolic velocity profile no longer exists. To solve the problem numerically, the equation of motion was simplified to represent permeation of incompressible, Newtonian fluid with changing viscosity through a micro-tube. Even after considerable simplification, the accuracy of the results was the same as that obtained by previously reported results for some specific cases using rigorous formulation. The algorithm developed in the present work is found to be numerically robust and simple so that it can be easily integrated with other simulations.

Opis:
A thriving healthcare system perfectly reflects economic development and contentment amongst the people of any region. With increasing anxiety concering health and growing medical needs, hospitals worldwide face substantial challenge to provide patients with adequate medical facilities under one roof. With a fragile state of the health industry in a developing country like India, there is a need for the hospitals to opt for international standards and comply with other premier health centers of the country. This paper aims to select the hospitals based on incongruous and conflicting criteria involving group decision-making using the Intuitionistic Fuzzy (IF) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The criteria used are concomitant to an insured public health scheme named Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Scheme (AB-NHPS) of the Government of India. For each alternative Euclidean distance has been used to calculate the positive and negative separation measure from the ideal solution. The relative closeness to the ideal solution has been used to rank the hospitals. The result is a list of hospitals ranked from best to worst based on the laid criteria. It can aid governing bodies in decision-making under an uncertain environment with multiple complex criteria to analyze.

Opis:
Purpose: To evaluate the capability of various kernels employed with support vector regression (SVR) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) techniques in estimating the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient of plunging hollow jets. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, a data set of 81 observations is acquired from laboratory experiments of hollow jets plunging on the surface of water in the tank. The jet variables: jet velocity, jet thickness, jet length, and water depth are varied accordingly and the values of volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient is computed. An empirical relationship expressing the oxygenation performance of plunging hollow jet aerator in terms of jet variables is formulated using multiple nonlinear regression. The performance of this nonlinear relationship is compared with various kernel function based SVR and GPR models. Models developed with the training data set (51 observations) are checked on testing data set (24 observations) for performance comparison. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to examine the influence of jet variables in effecting the oxygen transfer capabilities of plunging hollow jet aerator. Findings: The overall comparison of kernels yielded good estimation performance of Radial Basis Function kernel (RBF) and Pearson VII Function kernel (PUK) using the SVR technique which is followed by nonlinear regression, and other kernel function based regression models. Research limitations/implications: The results of the study pertaining to the performance of kernels are based on the current experimental conditions and the estimation potential of the regression models may fluctuate beyond the selection of current data range due to datadependant learning of the soft computing models. Practical implications: Volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient of plunging hollow jets can be predicted precisely using SVR model by employing RBF as kernel function as compared to empirical correlation and other kernel function based regression models. Originality/value: The comparative analysis of kernel functions is conducted in this study. In previous studies, the predictive modelling approaches are implemented in simulating the aeration properties of cylindrical solid jets only, while this paper simulates the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient of diverging hollow jets with the jet variables by utilizing polynomial, normalized polynomial, PUK, and RBF kernels in SVR and GPR.

Opis:
Nonlinear hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer of a Casson fluid over an exponentially shrinking sheet has been investigated. The fluid is assumed to be viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting. The similarity transformations are applied to reduce the non-linear partial differential equations into the non-linear ordinary differential equations. Homotopy Perturbation Method is used to solve the resulting non-linear differential equations under appropriate boundary conditions. The impact of Casson fluid parameter, magnetic interaction parameter, suction parameter and Prandtl number on both velocity and temperature profiles are shown graphically. Thermal boundary layer thickness decreases with increasing Prandtl number. Effect of Casson fluid parameter is to reduce both the velocity and temperature. Quantities of physical interest such as skin-friction coefficient, non-dimensional rate of heat transfer are solved numerically. A comparison reveals a remarkable agreement between the Homotopy Perturbation Method and Runge-Kutta fourth order method.
