 Abstract

The aim of the frame work is to create a mechanism that would allow for development while protecting soil and water resources in the region using science-based decision making. The geospatial technologies like remote sensing and GPS, GIS are useful for fast and cost-effective study of different applications with accuracy. The main focus of the study is to develop the watershed boundary and sustainable soil conservation in GVMC AREA using GIS. Different maps have been generated from satellite images and USGS EARTH EXPLORER using remote sensing and GIS. The maps are prepared by using satellite images and raw maps of GVMC toposheets generated by geological survey of India. Finally, watershed map is obtained from digital elevation model (DEM). The final output of the study gives different conservation measures for soil and water within a watershed boundary with reference to the remote sensing and GIS data.

 Abstract

Petroleum and petrochemical industry may lead to hazard condition by means of fire, explosion, explosive chemical noise, electrical shock and etc. which result in health, environment and economic loss. These hazards can be a result of the presence of cleaning chemicals, hazardous gases, improper or insufficient lockout-tag out, vapors, fumes, dusts, or excessive heat or cold. Atmospheric storage tank fire very common in industrial facilities. In this work various accidents of storage tanks that taken place in Industrial facilities in Asia over last 40 years. Bowtie Diagram is applied to depict causes and factors responsible which led to various types of storage tank fires. Prevention and mitigation measures are also provided to help operating engineers handling similar types of situations in the future. The results show that 70% of accidents occurred in oil terminals or storage, petroleum refineries and Fire and explosion account for 90% of the accidents. There were accidents caused by lightning, by human errors, including poor operations and maintenance. Other causes were equipment failure, static electricity, sabotage, crack and rupture, leak and line rupture, open flames, etc. Most of these accidents would have been avoided if proper safety management programs, good engineering practices implemented.

 Abstract

Folklore is playing a pivotal role in propagating the ideas of ethnicity and identity in the world. By referring the value of folklore every community of the world try to glorify their past and present in modern times. In India, the role of folklore towards ethnic and identity movement is taking remarkable place specially in North Eastern India. The main aims of this paper are: i. to highlight how the Rabhas of Assam using the folkloric element in the political movement, ii. to study the role of folklore in integrating diverse groups and iii. to explore the role of folklore towards serving the ethnic unity and nationalism among the Rabhas.

 Abstract

This paper consists of the study of the fabrication of Nano material of the Shape memory alloy NiTinol. A detailed examination is done on the impact of test conditions on the properties of Ni-Ti nanoparticles created by nanosecond laser ablation of NiTinol target. The paper likewise incorporates the basic circulation of the lighted surface. The laser wavelengths utilized were 248nm for KrF laser and 1064 nm for Q-exchanged Nd:YAG laser. Nitinol targets were inundated in mediums like refined water and ethanol. The examples were illuminated with pulses from both the lasers. 500 pulses were utilized for the investigation of the surface of the objective and 20000 pulses for the molecule age. The fluences utilized were 2 and 5 J/cm2 individually. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was utilized to think about the morphology of laser treated NiTi surface and the measure of the produced nanoparticles. Component mapping was considered through vitality dispersive X-beam spectroscopy (EDX). The outcomes got, was that the ethanol based trial demonstrates a relative homogeneous natural conveyance in both the laser treated NiTinol surface and the created nanoparticles. While in refined water inundation, isolate nearness of Nickel and Titanium components was seen on the illuminated surface and also the produced nanoparticles.

 Abstract

Now a days in VLSI technology size, power, speed and cost are the main design considerations in any circuits. As the number of added operations in normal multipliers are more which results in increase in delay. Therefore the circuits designed with normal multipliers will consume more power and possess less speed. Multipliers play a vital role in digital signal processing applications. In this paper, design and implementation of FPGA based 32 bit Wallace multiplier and Systolic multiplier has been done. These multipliers were designed using Verilog HDL, simulation and synthesis is done in both RTL compiler using Xilinx Vivado and implemented on Zynq 7000 series FPGA board.

 Abstract

The energy consumed by heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems has been Increasing over the last decades. Thus, improving efficiency of HVAC systems has gained attention of industry and academia. This concern has posed challenges for modeling and optimizing HVAC systems. The traditional methods, such as analytical and statistical approaches, usually involve assumptions that may not hold in practice since HVAC systems are complex, nonlinear, and dynamic. Data-mining is a novel science aiming at extracting system characteristics, identifying models and recognizing patterns from large-size data sets. It has proved its power in modeling complex and nonlinear systems through various effective and successful applications in industrial, business, and medical areas. Applications of classical data-mining approaches, such as neural networks and boosting tree have been reported in the HVAC literature. Evolutionary computation, including swarm intelligence, have rapidly developed in the past decades and then applied to improving the performance of HVAC systems. This analysis focuses on modeling, optimizing, and controlling HVAC systems. Data-mining algorithms are utilized to extract predictive models from experimental data sets provided by the Energy Resource Station located in Ankeny,. In the optimization process, two set points of the HVAC system, supply air duct static pressure set point and supply air temperature set point, are controlled aiming at improving energy efficiency and maintaining thermal comfort. However, for some special projects, due to the specific design and control of the HVAC system, conventional settings may not be necessarily energy-efficient in daily operation. The HVAC system design and equipment selection for a commercial building (376 TR) is included as a case study in this paper. The outcomes of this paper are efficient design of HVAC system with minimum energy consumption and equipment selection based on operating

 Abstract

-As the number and variety of cyber threats increase, it becomes more critical to share intelligence information in a fast and efficient manner. However, current cyber threat intelligence data do not contain sufficient information about how to specify countermeasures or how institutions should apply counter measures automatically on their networks. A flexible and agile network architecture is required in order to determine and deploy countermeasures quickly. Software-defined networks facilitate timely application of cyber security measures thanks to their programmability. In this work, we propose a novel model for producing software-defined networking-based solutions against cyber threats and configuring networks automatically using risk analysis. We have developed a prototype implementation of the proposed model and demonstrated the applicability of the model. Furthermore, we have identified and presented future research directions in this area.
