Abstract: |
Energy is the main requirement of this era. We as a developing country depend on energy for a various purposes. Recently, many nations put forth their initiatives on reducing the usage of polluting fossil fuels. It is well known that as a developing country for us. so an alternative fossil fuels we are in need of non-polluting biological means of energy. Our another problem is waste materials produced on various productions in order to couple these two problems researches found technology that uses microbial community to degrade organic compounds in waste water and to create energy. In this current work we have decided to design a biochemical fuel system in upflow mode using synthetic waste water which resembles distillery waste water. The cost of membrane used in previous works are eliminated in the design and provisions have been given for various electrode distances. To increase the efficiency of MFC, the cells operate in two conditions of aerobic and anaerobic. Aerated MFC was further studied by varying sludge volume. The maximum power production efficiency was 55%. Utilizing chemical wastewater for the production of renewable energy (bioelectricity) from anaerobic treatment is considered as a feasible, economical and sustainable process. |

Abstract: |
The success of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) to control Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and eliminating the condition depends on the accurate estimation of prognostic indicators of treatment outcomes. Mathematical models using differential equations were formulated to describe the interaction of the Immune system with HIV pathogens. Proliferation rate of naive and HIV specific activated effector cells was investigated to determine the threshold efficacy of immuno-stimulants for perfect immune response. The conditions for the existence and stability of disease free equilibrium (DFE) and endemic equilibrium point (EEP) were determined. It was found that DFE exists if the Reproductive ratio, 𝑅0<1 and EEP exists when 𝑅0>1. Epidemiological and demographic parameters of HIV/AIDS and immune response data analyzed showed that in the absence of immuno-stimulants, 𝑅0=4, and the introduction of immuno-stimulants increased the proliferation rate of effector cells, thus improving the immune response time to eliminate the infection. This means 𝑅0 reduces from 𝑅0=4 to values less than one. Simulation results with varying efficacy levels of immuno-stimulants showed that the EEP becomes extinct and DFE is stable if the drug efficacy is at 𝑒=75.4%. The results also showed that the normal cell homeostatic rate of 𝑁=2 daughter cells is activated by use of immuno-stimulants to increase to multiples of 𝑁=3.49 memory cells during a re-emergence of the disease. |

Abstract: |
The intent of this thesis is to design and test a variable swirl and ignition sites. The design aspect used Ansys cfx to model air flow within the cylinder. Swirl rate and volumetric flow rate were calculated from the results. Many design iterations took place before a suitable design was accomplished. Valve guides and seats were installed in the head. The inlet valve is creating an air swirl in the inside of a cylinder. The air motion plays a very important role in fuel-air mixing, combustion and emission formation. Swirl motion of the air is usually generated due to the design of the intake port. A good intake port design will generate higher swirl and help to improve combustion. It helps to reducing pollutant emissions and for better fuel economy. These engines tend to attain the maximum efficiency. CFD enables numerical experiments (i.e. computer simulations) in a "virtual flow laboratory‟. They contribute to the improvement of engine performance |

Abstract: |
Now a days in current scenario, mainly the disposal problem of industrial byproducts are fly ash, Bagasse ash, Sewage sludge ash, paper pulp and rice husk ash etc, has become an main environmental issue due to pollution caused, and further due to shortage of land to fill these byproducts also added as a issue. The production of a concrete using these type wastes will solve mainly two problems it conserves environment from pollution and prevents natural resources of depletion. These materials called as pozzolanic materials such as sewage sludge ash, fly ash, bagasse ash are re used as replacement of cement for preparation of cement mortar for the construction. In this study the triple replacement of combination of cement by sewage sludge ash, Bagasse ash, Fly ash (class C), and up to 50% to achieve required compression strength, pozzolanic materials such as sewage sludge and bagasse ash activity in mortar is more better than lime in cement. In the manufacture of cement the cement industries will release the carbon dioxide while manufacturing the cement in both wet and dry process it will cause the environmental pollution, to overcome this usage of these materials will reduce the environmental pollution along with instead of sand we are using copper slag and quarry dust in concrete about 50% of copper slag and 50% of quarry dust is used and water content is reduced up to 0.4 and along with egg albumen will increase the workability of the concrete from this we can achieve homogeneous mixing of concrete with less water cement ratio and it will acts as a natural admixture and also we are using human hairs in concrete, human hairs will acts as a secondary reinforcement in the concrete.
This experimental study mainly focuses on cost effectiveness of prepared concrete containing more amounts of fly ash, sewage sludge ash & bagasse ash. |

Abstract: |
Since superconductivity in cuprates occurs along the Cu-O planes, the Cooper pairs and positive ions can interact with each other leading to the creation of an electric field. The effect of this field leads to the increase in the value of energy gap (Δ) that turns out to be 62.5meV. This value is three times the experimental value of 20meV. The value of Tc lies between 181K and 290K for P=2Δ / KBTc that may lie between 5 and 8. For a typical experimental value of P = 6, the value of Tc turns out to be 240K. |

Abstract: |
Data Security deals with protecting data from unauthorized users and data corruption. An important measure of data security is encryption, where digital data are encrypted. Data hiding is a type of steganography that embeds data into digital media. In Health care sector massive amount of highly confidential patient information and images such as scan reports have to be transmitted over the network. This information can be accessed only by the intended recipient. More security is required in transmission of highly confidential data. To improve the security mechanism the confidential data can place inside an encrypted image. Therefore confidentiality of both the image and the data embedded in the image can be maintained. Later the embedded data and also the encrypted image can be restored without any error. These types of techniques are known as Reversible Data Hiding Techniques. There are various methods of data hiding under Reversible Data Hiding Technique. In this Review Paper we are conducting a survey on different Reversible Data Hiding Techniques. |

Abstract: |
The emerging non-traditional technology, Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is used for tough materials that are exceptionally machine by conventional machining processes. In this paper, the cutting performance of AWJM is attained by a narrow high-speed stream, small-scale wearing away process.The optimal setting of process parameters has been achieved for minimum dimensional deviation while machining Mild steel on Abrasive Water-Jet machine. The effects of pressure, stand-off distance and orifice size on thedimensional deviation and their subsequent optimal settings have been consummated using Taguchi's parameter design approach. The outcomes indicate that the particular process parameters considerably affect the dimensional deviation of machined parts on abrasive water jet machine.The dimensional deviation is minimum at pressure level 3 (3309.6 bars) standoff distance level 1 (2.0 mm) nozzle level size 1(5.56 mm). The outcomes are also further tested by confirmation experiments. |
