Flux and Speed estimation of decoupled induction motor

This paper presents the rotor flux and speed estimation of induction motor using a novel technique. The induction motor model in rotor reference frame is considered. Controllers used for sensor less control of the drive. The estimation technique works well and the sensor less speed control scheme can achieve fast transient response as good as that of the induction motor with sensors and at the same time maintain a wide speed control range

FORCE COMPETENT EXHAUSTIVE COMPUTATION BASED ON BINARY MATRIX

Numerous studies have suggested efficient structures to reduce the ability use of the CS. Early termination techniques presented will be to eliminate redundant computations after locating the last error. Even though the two-step approach, generally, results in the rise in critical path delay and latency, the drawbacks are resolved within this brief by using a competent pipelined structure. This brief has presented a brand new low-power architecture for parallel CS. The traditional CS is decomposed into two steps to attain a substantial power saving by reduction of accessibility next step. For instance, within the situation of m = 14, 60% power saving is anticipated in contrast to the traditional architecture when the initial step processes three MSBs. It's suggested inside a practical realization to locate a better optimal bit width by investigating several candidate bit widths close to the bit width caused by the model. You should decide the number of l bits work for that former partial FFMs. The greater bits are examined within the former, the second partial FFMs is going to be utilized less producing a large power reduction, however the former partial FFM are affected in the elevated power dissipation, and the other way around. It's suggested inside a practical realization to locate a better optimal bit width by investigating several candidate bit widths close to the bit width caused by the model. The fundamental ideas behind the suggested technique may also be applied once the aspects of the set are kept in a memory protected with increased advanced ECCs. Additionally, a simplified form of the suggested approach may also be used for traditional BFs however in that situation, the proportion of errors that may be remedied is a lot lower. Experimental results reveal that the suggested architecture reduces as much as 50% power consumption in contrast to the traditional parallel CS. Otherwise we are able to lessen the dynamic switching power by disabling the second partial FFMs. Since each intermediate register holds certainly one of all possible GF elements, the second partial FFM is activated once every 2l clock cycles around the average

Production and characterisation of monoclonal antibodies against immunoglobulins of Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton 1822)

Serum immunoglobulins (Ig) of mrigal Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton 1822) immunised with bovine serum albumin (BSA), were purified by affinity chromatography using BSA-CL agarose column. The purified mrigal Ig (m-Ig) was characterised under reducing condition by Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) which revealed two bands of 85 and 26 kDa corresponding to heavy and light chain, respectively. Following fusion of splenocytes from Balb/c mice immunised with purified m-Ig with myeloma cells, three hybridomas showing reactivity with m-Ig were cloned by limiting dilution. The monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) generated by these clones were designated as 3B2-E12, 3B2-F9 and 4C3-B2 and characterised by western blotting and isotyping. Western blot analysis of the supernatant from the three clones with purified m-Ig indicated that, all the three MAbs were specific to heavy chain. Isotyping revealed that 3B2-E12 MAb was of IgG1 isotype whereas the other two MAbs were of IgG2a isotype. Cross reactivity of anti-mrigal Ig MAb (3B2-E12) was observed with serum Ig of Catla catla and Labeo rohita indicating semi-conserved nature of Ig in Indian major carps

Dryland Agriculture: Dynamics, Challenges and Priorities

The developments in the dryland region reflect the pervasiveness of poverty, which is demonstrated by the growing constraints of water, land degradation, continuing concerns about malnutrition, migration due to frequent droughts, lack of infrastructure, poor dissemination of improved technologies, and effects of government policies and further economic liberalization on the competitiveness of dryland crops. This research bulletin reviews past trends, summarizes the major constraints to income growth, food security, poverty alleviation, and environmental sustainability, and identifies future strategies and priorities. The discussion uses the semi-arid tropics as a focal point where poverty, food insecurity, child malnutrition and gender inequalities are widespread. A synthesis of evidence and lessons learned from ICRISAT Village Level Studies (VLS), conducted since 1975, is presented to provide empirical evidence on the vulnerability of the poor to various risks and shocks, as well as their capacity to access physical, financial and social resources and networks in the risky environments of the drylands. An analysis of available evidences provided a basis for identifying major policy issues that need to be addressed. Priority development interventions are identified to accelerate the pace of development of dryland agriculture: a) water as a catalyst for development; b) reorientation of public policies and better targeting of development interventions to dryland farmers, especially since they relate to key factors constraining agricultural productivity, and hence poverty reduction; c) diversification with a higher focus on crop-livestock development; d) innovative, cost effective and community based management of wastelands and common property resources; e) marketing, commercial orientation and competitiveness of dryland agriculture; and f)institutional innovations, building partnerships, linkages and capacity. The development of dryland agriculture requires synergy among technologies, marketing systems, input supplies, credit, policies and institutions. A broadbased sustainable growth and development in the drylands of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa is viewed as a key strategy for addressing rural poverty in the Asian and sub-Saharan region

Strategic Partnerships @ ICRISAT: Global Partnerships for Strategic Impact

This study formally examines the intricacies of public-private partnerships at ICRISAT in order to glean from experiences how best to effectively and efficiently develop strategic partnerships that work and to build a learning module on successful partnership management for ICRISAT staff and partners. Public-private partnerships are examined in the light of institutional behavior and lessons learned, which facilitate/impede the exchange of potential pro-poor knowledge and technology. The focus is on three key issues: (1) the rationale for forging partnerships; (2) the benefits accrued; and (3) lessons learned from ongoing partnerships to harness more successful strategic ties in the future. Collaborations between scientists of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) were examined, especially working linkages between and among researchers based in international, regional and national organizations spread across Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Data and information were obtained through web- and email-based surveys across all the regional locations of ICRISAT. The resulting analysis characterizes public-private partnerships at ICRISAT and delves into factors that contribute to their success or failure. These findings are critical to developing a learning module on the best practices in undertaking strategic partnerships at ICRISAT

Impregnation of S-layer protein isolated from extremophilic Bacillus Licheniformis NARW 02 onto titanium phosphate ceramic enhances uranium removal from aqueous solution

In the present study, bioceramic was prepared by impregnating surface layer protein (S-layer) isolated from extremophilic bacteria Bacillus licheniformis NARW 02 onto sol–gel-derived titanium phosphate (TiP) ceramic. The prepared bioceramic was used for adsorption of uranium ions from aqueous solution and compared with control lacking S-layer protein. The distribution coefficient value of TiP and bioceramic for uranium adsorption was 100.65 and 432.48 ml/g respectively. This study indicates that the bacterial S-layer can be potentially used to enhance the adsorption efficiency of the ceramics used in separation of uranium from waste water
