    This paper describes the use of Taylor dispersion analysis to study the dispersion of chiral fluid flow in a channel in the presence of the convective current bounded by rigid permeable walls. Analytical solution for velocity in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is obtained and it is computed for different values of electromagnetic parameterWem. The results reveal that the velocity increases with an increase in the electromagnetic parameter, Wem. Concentration distribution is also determined analytically in the presence of advection of concentration of chiral fluid. It is shown that the molecules of chiral fluid dispersed relative to the plane moving with the mean speed of flow with an effective dispersion coefficient, D*, called Taylor dispersion coefficient. This is numerically computed for different values of electromagnetic parameter, Wem, Paclet numberPeand Reynolds number, Re. The results shows that dispersion coefficient, D* decreases monotonically with Reynolds number, Re, Paclet number Pe, but increase with an increase in electromagnetic parameter, Wem

    Introduction: With the prevalence of DM increasing among rural population in developing countries, factors associated with diabetes and its complications also becomes more important. More than half of diabetic patients with ASB have upper urinary tract involvement and the frequency of symptomatic UTI had been significantly higher. Symptomatic UTIs tends to be more common in diabetic subjects with ASB than in those without ASB. Although ASB is of major concern in diabetic population, the long-term consequences of ASB in patients with DM are poorly documented, Almost all studies were performed among elderly women with type 2 diabetes and there is very little information on the occurrence of ASB among BPL diabetic males in our local setting. Hence in the present study the incidence and etiology of ASB among BPL diabetic male patients was monitored along with the resistance pattern of bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents.Materials and methods: Clean catch voided midstream urine samples were collected from 1131 BPL Diabetic male patients enrolled for the study. Wet film of centrifuged urine was performed to detect the presence of pus cells, epithelial cells, erythrocytes, microorganisms, cast. Culture was performed using standard loop method and antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was studied using Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method following CLSI guidelines.Results: Out of 1131 BPL diabetic male patients screened for ASB, 155 (13.7%) were culture positive. Among the uropathogens Gram negative bacilli was the most commonest type (72.7%) and the most prevalent organisms isolated was Klebsiella spp (35.2%), Enterococcus spp (22.4%), followed by E. coli (19.4 %) ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( 7.3%), etc.,. 87.5% of E.coli isolated were ESBL, followed by 77.6 % of Klebsilla spp and 11.1 % Enteroabacter spp. Pseudomonas aeruginosa reported in this study were 100% ESBL and 16.6% Metallo β lactamase (MBL) producers.8.1 % of Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus (VRE) was also found in this study.Conclusion: This study demonstrated a high occurrence of ASB in BPL diabetic males (13.7%). Klebsiella was the most commonest uropathogen found in our study followed by Enterococcus , E.coli and Pseudomonas. E.coli and Pseudomonas showed high rates of drug resistance. Nitrofurantoin and Amikacin was the most effective drugs for majority of the isolates. Hence routine monitoring and screening for ASB in this population is essential. Moreover patients in rural parts of developing countries with diabetes has to be sensitized about the complications of ASB and regarding maintenance of their glycemic control which is of major importance in prevention of the condition

    The presence of clay soil causes problems at the base of the structure: it swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which provides a reduction in the resistance to cutting of the soil. Plastic waste in the form of polyamide powder (PA-12) from the 3D printing industry can be used to improve the mechanical properties of the soil. This experimental study is an attempt to combine these two objectives of stabilizing the soil by using waste PA-12. The mechanical and shear resistant properties gave us confidence in choosing PA-12 as a stabilizer in clay soils, making them composite soils.La presencia de suelo arcilloso causa problemas a la base de la estructura: se hincha cuando está mojado y se encoge en estado seco, lo que proporciona una reducción de la resistencia al corte del suelo. Los residuos plásticos en forma de poliamida en polvo (PA-12) de la industria de la impresión 3D se pueden utilizar para mejorar las propiedades mecánicas del suelo. Este estudio experimental es un intento de combinar estos dos objetivos de estabilizar el suelo mediante la utilización de desechos de PA-12. Las propiedades mecánicas y resistentes al cizallamiento dieron confianza al elegir PA-12 como estabilizador en suelos arcillosos, convirtiéndolos en suelos compuestos

    Not AvailableTobacco yield loss due to weed competition is the most important factor that causes yield and quality reduction. Due to the scarcity of human labour, manual weeding is becoming difficult in tobacco. In situations where manual weeding and intercultural operations are not done on time due to adverse soil and weather conditions use of herbicides is the obvious choice in FCV tobacco weed management. Hence, this study was proposed by inclusion of herbicides in weed management in FCV tobacco under irrigated alfisols. The field experiment was conducted in RBD with 10 treatments viz.1. Pre-plant soil incorporation (PPI) of Pendimethalin 3 days before planting + Quizalofop-ethyl 30 DAP 2. PPI of Pendimethalin 3 days before planting + Quizalofop-ethyl 75 days after planting(DAP) 3. Post emergence application (PEA) of Quizalofop-ethyl at 15 DAP 4. PEA of Quizalofop-ethyl at 60 DAP 5. PEA of Quizalofopethyl at 75 DAP 6. PEA of Quizalofop-ethyl at 15 + 75 DAP 7. PEA of Quizalofop-ethyl at 60 + 90 DAP 8. PEA of Quizalofop-ethyl at 75 + 125 DAP 9. Weed free check 10. Un weeded check integrated with inercultural operations and replicated thrice. Statistically lower weed dry matter production was recorded wherever herbicide application was done at 30, 60, 90 days of planting and at harvest in tobacco. Spraying of Quizalofop-ethyl at 15+75 days after planting effectively controlled the grassy weeds and also gave higher yields when compared to weed free check. Leaf Reducing sugars, nicotine and Chlorides were well within the desirable limits. Integrated weed management practices could not influenced the soil chemical properties significantly. Two post emergence sprays of Quizalofop-ethyl @ 60 g a.i./ha at 15 and 75 DAP can be used in integrated weed management along with intercultures to control monocot weeds which are dominant in the irrigated alfisols.Not Availabl

    Compressed-Liquid Energy Storage with an Adsorption-based Vapor Accumulator for Solar-Driven Vapor Compression Systems in Residential Cooling

    Get PDF
    A cycle-integrated energy storage strategy for vapor-compression refrigeration is proposed wherein thermo-mechanical energy is stored as compressed liquid.A compressed-liquid tank is integrated into the liquid line of the system by means of an adsorption-based vapor accumulator in the vapor line. Energy is retrieved through expansion of the compressed liquid, which allows for a tunable evaporator temperature. A thermodynamic model is developed to assess the system performance, with storage incorporated, for solar residential cooling in two locations with contrasting ambient temperature profiles. Ammonia, R134a, and propane, all paired with activated carbon as adsorbent, are evaluated.A high cold thermal energy storage density is achieved when operated with ammonia. However, the accumulator suppresses the coefficient of performance of the system because work is required to extract refrigerant from the adsorbent. Practical feasibility of the proposed storage strategy calls for the development of nontoxic refrigerant–adsorbent pairs with more favorable adsorption behavior
