    Today world is step-in 21st century. But still in major part of India cannot get 24 X 7 eclectic power supply. Electrical power has become a prime necessity for any country for economic development. And power shortage is a dominant problem, being faced by the most of the countries today. On the top of this, the conventional fuel sources for power generation i.e. coal & oil deposits are fast getting depleted. The Obvious way out, is to shift focus to renewable sources of energy and in country like India our village population & remote location load always suffer by power cut or grid failure although they have enough potential to generate own power but due to lake of technology they can’t get 24 x 7 power supply to provide some solution of this problem we try to develop smart grid Indian version. Although more invention has to be carried out still in the use of non-conventional energy sources for power generation to reach to most economic point, but every little effort in this direction may provide a solution to power shortage problems. Hence the same topic was selected as a part of the curriculum. The goal of the paper is to construct a micro smart grid  which is capable of producing enough  electrical power by using local removable energy electrical power sources like wind, bio-gas, solar, current running hydro plan for the places like remote places like villages? In this paper, we propose a decentralized framework named Micro Smart GRID to tackle grid resource management a simulation study of operation and control of local generation & co-ordination with state grid in case of normal operation or power islands in Micro Smart Grid environment

    This paper considers geolocation of a stationary radio frequency emitter which is being steered by multiple antennas installed on a geostationary satellite using received signal strength metric. The difference in the signal strengths is measured by the antennas and subsequently plotted as lines of position on the surface of the earth. Intersection of these two or more lines of position indicates the location of the terrestrial radio frequency transmitters. This problem is appropriately modelled using a satellite tool kit that simulates the space environment involving satellites, antennas, emitters, etc in a realistic and integrated manner. Accuracy and size of the geolocation area depend on the distance between emitters and the receiver and also on the contour widths geometry. Results of geolocation accuracy are compared by installing the radio frequency emitter at increasing latitudes and at varying contour widths. It is observed that the emitters placed at lower latitudes and having smaller contour widths provided higher accuracy in geolocation that validates the proposed formulation

    Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume

    The hippocampal formation is a brain structure integrally involved in episodic memory, spatial navigation, cognition and stress responsiveness. Structural abnormalities in hippocampal volume and shape are found in several common neuropsychiatric disorders. To identify the genetic underpinnings of hippocampal structure here we perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 33,536 individuals and discover six independent loci significantly associated with hippocampal volume, four of them novel. Of the novel loci, three lie within genes (ASTN2, DPP4 and MAST4) and one is found 200 kb upstream of SHH. A hippocampal subfield analysis shows that a locus within the MSRB3 gene shows evidence of a localized effect along the dentate gyrus, subiculum, CA1 and fissure. Further, we show that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg =-0.155). Our findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampal volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness

    Measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy of Y(1S) and Y(2S) mesons in PbPb collisions at √S^{S}NN = 5.02 TeV

    The second-order Fourier coefficients (υ2_{2}) characterizing the azimuthal distributions of Υ(1S) and Υ(2S) mesons produced in PbPb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV are studied. The Υmesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay channel, as measured by the CMS detector. The collected data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 nb1^{-1}. The scalar product method is used to extract the υ2_{2} coefficients of the azimuthal distributions. Results are reported for the rapidity range |y| < 2.4, in the transverse momentum interval 0 < pT_{T} < 50 GeV/c, and in three centrality ranges of 10–30%, 30–50% and 50–90%. In contrast to the J/ψ mesons, the measured υ2_{2} values for the Υ mesons are found to be consistent with zero

    Measurement of prompt D0^{0} and D\overline{D}0^{0} meson azimuthal anisotropy and search for strong electric fields in PbPb collisions at root SNN\sqrt{S_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV

    The strong Coulomb field created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is expected to produce a rapiditydependent difference (Av2) in the second Fourier coefficient of the azimuthal distribution (elliptic flow, v2) between D0 (uc) and D0 (uc) mesons. Motivated by the search for evidence of this field, the CMS detector at the LHC is used to perform the first measurement of Av2. The rapidity-averaged value is found to be (Av2) = 0.001 ? 0.001 (stat)? 0.003 (syst) in PbPb collisions at ?sNN = 5.02 TeV. In addition, the influence of the collision geometry is explored by measuring the D0 and D0mesons v2 and triangular flow coefficient (v3) as functions of rapidity, transverse momentum (pT), and event centrality (a measure of the overlap of the two Pb nuclei). A clear centrality dependence of prompt D0 meson v2 values is observed, while the v3 is largely independent of centrality. These trends are consistent with expectations of flow driven by the initial-state geometry. ? 2021 The Author. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY licens
