Robust vehicle suspension system by converting active and passive control of a vehicle to semi-active control ystem analytically
This research article deals with a simplified translational model of an automotive suspension system which is constructed by considering the translation motion of one wheel of a car. Passive Vehicle Suspension System is converted into Semi Active Vehicle System. Major advantage achieved by this system is that it adjusts the damping of the suspension system without the application of any actuator by using MATLAB® simulations. The semi-active control is found to control the vibration of suspension system very well
Search for a Signal on QCD Critical Point in Central Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
We discuss that the QCD critical point could appear in central collisions in
percolation cluster. We suggest using the nuclear transparency effect and the
one of the light nuclear production to identify the critical point.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on

Cholera admissions in adults 1989-1994: a hospital based study
In order to gain insight into the distribution of cholera over the years and proportion of monthly admissions under our adult medical services, we scrutinized our records of hospital discharges between 1989 and 1994. Only culture positive cases were included. Each year most of the cases of cholera are admitted between May and November with almost disease free interval from December to April. In 1992 admission rate was 4.24/1000 medical admissions which increased to 12.65 in 1993 and 13.73 in 1994. Though the Vibrio cholerae 01 Ogawa was the major isolate upto May, 1993, Vibrio cholerae non-01 serogroup 0139 dominated between June and August, 1993. Ogawa strain re-established itself in October, 1993. In August, 1994, non-01 strain reappeared and became the major isolate in September. Cholera has caused multiple epidemics throughout the Indian subcontinent. Since 1800, there have been seven pandemics of cholera. The seventh pandemic originated in Indonesia and continues today
