DESIGNING AN MOBILE-BASED INFORMATION SYSTEM

The machine is made to work individually with no need of any human operator so when a student or worker needs any information, they will have to send an SMS for this system that will respond using the information needed by user. Furthermore, getting a digital notice board mandates that people will need to go to 1 place to obtain the needed information thus leading to lengthy queues in addition to inconvenience for the individual. Within this paper, we advise a method you can use to supply up-to-date information to students or employees associated with an institute using latest and much common technology. The supply of up-to-date information to individuals is a vital requirement in lots of situations for example companies and civil institutions. In connection with this, most institutions either use websites, emails or notice boards. In addition, the machine has got the capacity to keep previous notices that have been sent and is made to work 24/7. However, in developing nations access to the internet isn't open to lots of people on their own mobile products due to expense. It is really a robotic voice that employs GSM technology with an embedded server. The machine also offers the ability to tell students or employees about any instant update via SMS and it is also remotely up-to-date with new information

Phase Change Materials for Renewable Energy Storage Applications

Solar energy is utilizing in diverse thermal storage applications around the world. To store renewable energy, superior thermal properties of advanced materials such as phase change materials are essentially required to enhance maximum utilization of solar energy and for improvement of energy and exergy efficiency of the solar absorbing system. This chapter deals with basics of phase change material which reflects, selection criteria, PCM works, distinguish thermal energy storage system, commercially available PCM, development of PCM thermal properties and durability of PCM. In addition to this chapter focused on PCM in solar water heating system for buildings particularly in India because 20–30% of electricity is used for hot water in urban households, residential and institutional buildings. Discussed Flat plate collectors (FTC) in detail which is suitable for warm water production in household temperature 55 to 70 °C owing to cost effective than the Evacuated Tube collectors (ETC), Concentrated collector (CC) and integration of different methods PCM in solar water heating system

Scope, Nutritional Importance and Value Addition in Palmyrah (<em>Borassus flabellifer L.</em>): An Under Exploited Crop

Palmyrah palm has great economic potential and every part of the palm is useful in one way or the other is considered as ‘kalpaga tharu’. The palm is found growing widely in southern states of India. As the value addition in palmyrah is not standardized, the palmyrah products viz. tender fruit endosperm (nungu), neera, jaggery and tuber flour are not commercialized so far. Even though palmyrah is an economically important palm for its nutritional aspects, it has not received proper attention from the agricultural research workers, probably on account of the fact that it is very slow growing palm and mostly found in the wild state. In this context, knowing the physico-chemical properties and development of value added products and popularizing the same is essential

Systematic mechanical assessment of consolidants for canvas reinforcement under controlled environment

In conservation, adhesives are commonly used for the consolidation of canvases, yet their impact upon the canvas longevity has raised some concerns amongst conservators. As such, this study presents a testing protocol developed to assess the performance of commonly-used adhesives (natural animal glue and synthetic Beva® 371) and a newly developed nanocellulose consolidant, nanofibrillated nanocellulose (CNF). This includes their effect on the visual appearance, consolidation, and response of the mechanical properties of the treated canvases to programmed changes in relative humidity (RH). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of animal glue- and Beva® 371-treated canvases revealed the presence of adhesive and consolidant on and in-between cotton fibres. The consolidants form bridges linking and connecting the cotton fibres and holding them together, whereas the CNF treatment, formed a visible continuous and dense surface coating. None of the treatments induced any discernible colour change. Controlled environment mechanical testing was performed in two ways: by applying a linearly increasing static force at fixed RH (Young’s modulus) and by applying a dynamic force together with a programmed RH cycling between 20 and 80% (RH dependent viscoelastic properties). CNF gave a higher value of Young’s modulus than either of the two commonly-used materials. Measurements at different values of RH (20 and 80%) demonstrated for all the treated canvases that at the lower value (RH 20%) Young’s modulus values were higher than at the higher value (RH 80%). Besides, the dynamic mode showed that the rate of response in all cases was rapid and reversible and that the nanofibrillated cellulose treated sample showed the highest variation in storage (or elastic) modulus measured at the end of RH plateaux (20 and 80% RH). Thus CNF appears to be a promising material given its higher mechanical performance. The protocol developed in this study has enabled us to examine and compare candidate materials for the consolidation of canvases systematically, using testing parameters that remained relevant to the field of canvas conservation

Geo Engineering Properties of Pond Ash-bentonitemixes

The development of any country depends on increasing the industries and agriculture, which is governed by adequate power supply. In India major source of power generation is by coal based thermal power plants. Present day’s coal based thermal power industries are increasing day by day. Coal available in India is low grade coal with ash content of 30-45% in comparison to imported coal which has low ash content of 10-15%. In India, total 145 coal based thermal power plants are existed by the year of 2014-2015. Thermal power plants are major sources of ash generation. Typically these plants are produces two types of ash materials: Fly ash and Bottom ash. These two types of ash are mixed thoroughly with large quantities of water and sluiced to onsite storage ponds called ash ponds. Massive utilization of pond ash in engineering field requires thorough understanding of its geotechnical properties, especially strength characteristics. In the present study, a detailed experimental investigation was carried out on the strength and other geotechnical properties of pond ash samples mixed with different bentonite content. The main focus of the study was to evaluate the engineering properties of pond ash-bentonite mixes and assessing its suitability in various geotechnical constructions mainly the land fill liner. The Pond ash and bentonite samples are characterized and analyzed for the various geotechnical properties. The various experimental works were carried out to determine the index and engineering properties of pond ash with and without bentonite content. Index properties such as density index, plastic limit, liquid limit and engineering properties such as compaction and consolidation characteristics, shear strength were found by conducting various experiments accordingly. All the experiments were conducted by adding bentonite ranging from 5 to 30% at 5% interval to the pond ash and results were compiled in the graphical form to observe the trends in various parameters
