    There are many question answer sites are available now a day. In that Community Question Answering Sites are achieved lots of popularity over last years. But the drawback of available question answering system is that it can only provide multiple solutions of the textual answer and user need to select one of them. In this paper, we propose a scheme that enriches the textual answer with multimedia data. Our scheme consists of four models: QA pair extraction, answer medium selection, query generation and selection and presentation. The type media information added with the textual data is determined. The question answer pair is generated from the available Community Question Answering Sites database. Query is generated for the multimedia data. The final resulting data must be selected after re-ranking and removal operation and then present to the user. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15014

    Dihydroxylammonium 5,5?-bistetrazole-1,1?-diolate (TKX-50) is a recently synthesized energetic material (EM) with most promising performance, including high energy content, high density, low sensitivity, and low toxicity. TKX-50 forms an ionic crystal in which the unit cell contains two bistetrazole dianions {c-((NO)N3C)-[c-(CN3(NO)], formal charge of ?2} and four hydroxylammonium (NH3OH)+ cations (formal charge of +1). We report here quantum mechanics (QM)-based reaction studies to determine the atomistic reaction mechanisms for the initial decompositions of this system. First we carried out molecular dynamics simulations on the periodic TKX-50 crystal using forces from density functional based tight binding calculations (DFTB-MD), which finds that the chemistry is initiated by proton transfer from the cation to the dianion. Continuous heating of this periodic system leads eventually to dissociation of the protonated or diprotonated bistetrazole to release N2 and N2O. To refine the mechanisms observed in the periodic DFTB-MD, we carried out finite cluster quantum mechanics studies (B3LYP) for the unimolecular decomposition of the bistetrazole. We find that for the bistetrazole dianion, the reaction barrier for release of N2 is 45.1 kcal/mol, while release of N2O is 72.2 kcal/mol. However, transferring one proton to the bistetrazole dianion decreases the reaction barriers to 37.2 kcal/mol for N2 release and 59.5 kcal/mol for N2O release. Thus, we predict that the initial decompositions in TKX-50 lead to N2 release, which in turn provides the energy to drive further decompositions. On the basis of this mechanism, we suggest changes to make the system less sensitive while retaining the large energy release. This may help improve the synthesis strategy of developing high nitrogen explosives with further improved performance

    1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2C1Im][OAc]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C4C1Im][OAc]) have been used as solvents for the dissolution and ink-jet printing of cellulose from 1.0 to 4.8 wt%, mixed with the co-solvents 1-butanol and DMSO. 1-Butanol and DMSO were used as rheological modifiers to ensure consistent printing, with DMSO in the range of 41–47 wt% producing samples within the printable range of a DIMATIX print-head used (printability parameter < 10) at 55 °C, whilst maintaining cellulose solubility. Regeneration of cellulose from printed samples using water was demonstrated, with the resulting structural changes to the cellulose sample assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and white light interferometry (WLI). These results indicate the potential of biorenewable materials to be used in the 3D additive manufacture process to generate single-component and composite materials

    Presented at the 16th International Cryocooler Conference, held May 17-20, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia.The U-type Pulse Tube Cryocooler (PTC) involves a change in the direction of gas flow as it proceeds from the regenerator to the pulse tube. The sharp U-bend has an adverse effect on pulse tube cooling action due to formation of eddies and undesirable mixing in the cold end of the pulse tube. The present work deals with experimentation and CFD modeling related to U-type PTCs. Two cases of ‘U’ bends have been studied; gradual ‘U’ bends and sharp ‘U’ bends. Experimentation has been carried out using copper screens of 100-mesh size as flow straighteners. The optimum performance in terms of low temperature for the case of a gradual U bend was achieved with a stack of 18 flow-straightener screens. The no-load temperature for this case of a gradual ‘U’ bend, with and without flow straighteners, was 57.7 K and 88.8 K, respectively, for a charging pressure of 16 bar. When the gradual 180 degree bend at the cold end was replaced by a sharp U bend, the no load temperature increased from 88.8 K to 137 K without flow straighteners. In order to understand the role of flow straighteners in PTC, a CFD model was developed in FLUENT. The flow straighteners are modeled as a homogeneous porous medium. The results show that the flow straighteners significantly affect velocity patterns in the pulse tube. The theoretical study showed that there exists an optimum number of flow straighteners which improve the cooling power and efficiency of the pulse tube cryocooler. This was in agreement with the experimental results obtained earlier
