Model based methodology development for energy recovery in ash heat exchange systems
Flash tank evaporation combined with a condensing heat exchanger can be used when heat exchange is required between two streams and where at least one of these streams is difficult to handle (in terms of solid particles content, viscosity, pH, consistency etc.). To increase the efficiency of heat exchange, a cascade of these units in series can be used. Heat transfer relationships in such a cascade are very complex due to their interconnectivity, thus the impact of any changes proposed is difficult to predict. In this report, a mathematical model of a single unit ash tank evaporator combined with a condensing heat exchanger unit is proposed. This model is then developed for a chain of the units. The purpose of this model is to allow an accurate evaluation of the effect and result of an alteration to the system. The resulting model
is applied to the RUSAL Aughinish Alumina digester area
Directionally asymmetric self-assembly of cadmium sulfide nanotubes using porous alumina nanoreactors: Need for chemohydrodynamic instability at the nanoscale
We explore nanoscale hydrodynamical effects on synthesis and self-assembly of
cadmium sulfide nanotubes oriented along one direction. These nanotubes are
synthesized by horizontal capillary flow of two different chemical reagents
from opposite directions through nanochannels of porous anodic alumina which
are used primarily as nanoreactors. We show that uneven flow of different
chemical precursors is responsible for directionally asymmetric growth of these
nanotubes. On the basis of structural observations using scanning electron
microscopy, we argue that chemohydrodynamic convective interfacial instability
of multicomponent liquid-liquid reactive interface is necessary for sustained
nucleation of these CdS nanotubes at the edges of these porous nanochannels
over several hours. However, our estimates clearly suggest that classical
hydrodynamics cannot account for the occurrence of such instabilities at these
small length scales. Therefore, we present a case which necessitates further
investigation and understanding of chemohydrodynamic fluid flow through
nanoconfined channels in order to explain the occurrence of such interfacial
instabilities at nanometer length scales.Comment: 26 pages, 6 figures; http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/researchhighlight
On the Topology and Flux of T-Dual Manifolds
We present a general formula for the topology and H-flux of the T-dual of a
type two compactification. Our results apply to T-dualities with respect to any
free circle action. In particular we find that the manifolds on each side of
the duality are circle bundles whose curvatures are given by the integral of
the dual H-flux over the dual circle. As a corollary we conjecture an
obstruction to multiple T-dualities, generalizing an obstruction known to exist
on the twisted torus. Examples include SU(2) WZW models, Lens spaces and the
supersymmetric string theory on the non-spin AdS^5xCP^2xS^1 compactification.Comment: 4 Pages, No Figure
Dyslex_Re : The Real-Time Assistance for Dyslexic People
DYSLEX_RE is a real-time reading assistant app for dyslexic people. Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder and it is characterized by trouble with reading ability. Different people are affected to varying degrees. Problems may include difficulties in spelling words, reading at high speed, writing some words, sounding out words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding what one reads. Some cases run in families. OpenDyslexic is a free typeface/font designed to avoid some of the common reading errors caused by dyslexia. The font that includes regular, bold, italic, bold-italic, and monospaced font styles. This application is developed in English language using multisensory approach and it is an appropriate and suitable learning ecosystem for dyslexic children. Previous studies shows that many application that are developed in Malay and Spanish language. And this applications that only recognize some of the alphabetic. But in our application we work with all the alphabetic using OCR. The main objective of the proposed system that uses Google2019;s mobile vision AP

Telehealth Policy: Looking for Global Complementarity
Telehealth, or increasingly \u27e-health\u27,[1] has been accepted by the World Health Organization as an important tool in achieving the goal of health for all. It has also been accepted in developing countries.[2] The primary motivators include the expectations that e-health will reduce health-care costs, expand services to under-served areas and populations, facilitate the change to a more public health orientation, and improve people\u27s health, nutrition, knowledge and standards of living.[2-4] However, e-health needs to be integrated into existing health-care systems, in both a practical and a policy sense. Indeed, policy decisions will affect the ability of e-health to function effectively and efficiently in a global manner
Refugee Policy Implications of U.S. Immigration Medical Screenings: A New Era of Inadmissibility on Health-Related Grounds
Refugees frequently face extended delays in their efforts to enter the United States (U.S.) and those who are successful, in many cases, encounter overwhelming obstacles, inadequate resources, and a complex system of legal barriers. Travel restrictions based on equivocal health concerns and a drop in refugee admittance ceilings have complicated the situation. The authors retrieved and analyzed peer-reviewed journal articles, government agency press releases, media postings, epidemiologic factsheets, and relevant lay publications to critically assess U.S. policy regarding refugee resettlement based on health-related grounds. While refugees arguably exhibit an increased incidence of measles and tuberculosis compared with the U.S. population, the legitimacy of the medical examination will be undermined if other diseases that are endemic to refugee populations, yet currently deemed admissible, are used to restrict refugees from entering the U.S. This paper addressees the historic refugee policy of the U.S. and its consequent effect on the health of this vulnerable population. The needs of refugees should be carefully considered in the context of increased disease burden and the associated health care challenges of the country as a whole
Nonassociative strict deformation quantization of C*-algebras and nonassociative torus bundles
In this paper, we initiate the study of nonassociative strict deformation
quantization of C*-algebras with a torus action. We shall also present a
definition of nonassociative principal torus bundles, and give a classification
of these as nonassociative strict deformation quantization of ordinary
principal torus bundles. We then relate this to T-duality of principal torus
bundles with -flux. We also show that the Octonions fit nicely into our
theory.Comment: 15 pages, latex2e, exposition improved, to appear in LM
