Study of Heat Transfer in a Fixed Bed Centimeter Furnace with Pottery Walls : The Case of Natural Laterite and Kaolinic Laterite

The valorization of municipal waste is a good option for energy production. Our work consists of a numerical study of the heat equations in a fixed-bed centimetric grate furnace modeled by a natural laterite inner wall and a kaolin laterite wall. Simulation results showed that the kiln filling rate at 100% is 5 kg of fuel. From 500o C as the starting point for heating, the temperature reaches a maximum of 1225o C and 1050o C respectively for natural and kaolin laterite at 30 minutes of operation. In addition, the internal temperature is optimal around 35 ± 5 hgs-1 of internal air flow. A drop in internal temperature was observed after 35 minutes due to mass degradation and convection of the outlet gas. Natural laterite tends to retain heat inside the kiln more than kaolinite, which dissipates too quickly. These results show that, depending on how heat is converted into energy, the right materials and operations need to be chosen to optimize the process

Right To Property and Maintenance of Illegitimate Child Under Hindu Law

The concept of property is evolving from the days of adopting the law relating to property of Hindu people. The laws relating to property undergoes many changes from time to time as to accommodate the changing need of the society. The major changes in the law of property held after the adoption of our Constitution. The Article 14 of the Constitution of India guarantees equality among men and women as a fundamental right. Following by Article 15 which allows special provisions can be made for women and child. Article 19 1(f) which said that right to property was a fundamental right, which later on amended and now property is a legal right under article 300A of the Constitution of India. Article 39(f) which is directive principle also concern about the safeguard of the child. The court observed that right to property is not only a constitutional right but also a human right1, and no person can be deprived of his property save and except by and in accordance with law. Due to Constitutional guarantees the legislature has brought Hindu Succession Act in 19562 and Hindu Marriage Act in 19553 along with three other Acts. Hindu Succession Act has amended and codified the law relating to intestate succession4. This Act has laid down a uniform and comprehensive system of inheritance of property. Moreover this Act gave rights to women to property which were unknown till then. The provision of this Act in relation to property is clear for legitimate child, but is silent for illegitimate child. The paper will focus on the right of illegitimate progeny to maintenance from their parents as well as right of inheritance to their parents self acquired as well as ancestral property in a Hindu family

A Novel Heart Disease Prediction System using Deep Multi-Layer Perceptron and Optimal Feature Selection Mechanism

Diagnosis and prognosis of heart disease (HD) are essential medical tasks for a correct classification, which helps cardiologists to treat the patient properly. The current medical system is unable to obtain the entire information from the heart disease database. It is difficult for a physician to analyze and diagnose chronic disease because it is a challenging endeavor. Hence this paper proposes a novel weight and bias tune deep multi-layer perceptron for heart disease prediction (WBTDMLP) with optimal feature selection using modified random forest (MRF). The proposed system comprised ‘3’ phases such as data preprocessing, feature selection, and HD prediction. Initially the HD prediction data is collected from the Cleveland dataset and the missing value imputation and data normalization is applied on the dataset to preprocess the dataset. Following that, the feature selection was performed by using the MRF algorithm. Finally, the HD prediction is done based on WBTDMLP approach and the parameters are tuned by Sobel sequence with Brownian random walk-based dragonfly optimization algorithm (SSBRWDOA). The results indicate that the proposed approach reaches 97.89% accuracy, which is relatively higher than existing methods
