Abstract:
The paper presents the methodology for analysis of energy value of existing hydro power plant (HPP) comparing
with the same HPP upgraded with additional power. The additional power can be added with installed turbine
flows of existing unit(s) or with installing the new additional unit(s). The paper treated the energy evaluation of
the storage HPP Spilje which is under installed HPP comparing the technical parameters, water reservoir, turbine
discharge and water inflow. The analyses have been made based on the statistical analysis of the input
parameters of hydrology through a series of hydrological inflow data for a long period of years with monthly
distribution. The hydrological data (from 1970 until 2014) which covers extremely wet and extremely dry
hydrological periods, which is important in order to get statistics of expected values with appropriate
probabilities of occurrence – data from monthly inflow values [1]. The results from analysis can be applied in
determining the expected hydro production, or appropriate expected revenue of the electricity generated from the
HPP. The additional turbine flow in existing units or installing the new unit(s) can benefit with increased income
coming as the result of avoiding spilling water and generating additional peak energy instead of base one.

Abstract:
Periodic foundationis a new type of seismic base isolation system. It is inspired by the periodic material crystal
lattice in the solid state physics. This kind of material has a unique property, which is termed as frequency band
gap that is capable of blocking incoming waves having frequencies falling within the band gap. Consequently,
seismic waves having frequencies falling within the frequency band gap are blocked by the periodic foundation.
The ability to block the seismic waveshas put this kind of foundation as a prosperous next generation of seismic
base isolators. This paper provides analytical study on the one dimensional (1D) type periodic foundations to
investigate their seismic performance. The general idea of basic theory of one dimensional (1D) periodic
foundations is first presented.Then, the parametric studies considering infinite and finite boundary conditions are
discussed. The effect of superstructure on the frequency band gap is investigated as well. Based on the analytical
study, a set of equations is proposed for the design guidelines of 1D periodic foundations for seismic base
isolation of structures.
Keywords–finite element, frequency band gap, one dimensional periodic foundation, phononic crystal, seismic

Abstract:
The exploration of social conversations for addressing patient's needs is an important analytical task in which
many scholarly publications are contributing to fill the knowledge gap in this area. The main difficulty remains
the inability to turn such contributions into pragmatic processes the pharmaceutical industry can leverage in
order to generate insight from social media data, which can be considered as one of the most challenging source
of information available today due to its sheer volume and noise. This study is based on the work by Scott
Spangler and Jeffrey Kreulen and applies it to identify structure in social media through the extraction of a
topical taxonomy able to capture the latent knowledge in social conversations in health-related sites. The
mechanism for automatically identifying and generating a taxonomy from social conversations is developed and
pressured tested using public data from media sites focused on the needs of cancer patients and their families.
Moreover, a novel method for generating the category's label and the determination of an optimal number of
categories is presented which extends Scott and Jeffrey's research in a meaningful way. We assume the reader is
familiar with taxonomies, what they are and how they are used.

- Three-Dimensional Center of Gravity Detection for Trucks
Hauling Marine Containers
Runan Dang, Yutaka Watanabe
[Abstract]
[PDF]
[Cite]
Abstract:
Difficulty in preventing rollover accidents of marine containers derives from various load conditions of cargoes
inside the containers. Heavier cargoes are widely regarded as presenting greater danger of rollover accidents.
However, this presupposition is severely misleading because lighter cargoes having a higher center of gravity
such as machinery with an upper mass can also cause rollover accidents. Rollover accidents are explainable
fundamentally as follows.
The center of gravity of a truck loading a marine container conflicts with the centrifugal force in cornering. A
truck is unstable, causing a rollover accident when the moment originating from the centrifugal force exceeds
that originating from the force of gravity. Such a truck might cause a rollover accident at a lower driving speed
when the center of gravity is positioned higher. The question is therefore how to find the center of gravity of
trucks with marine containers. Conditions of cargoes inside the containers differ greatly. Moreover, it is
practically impossible to calculate those conditions by measuring all cargoes piece-by-piece in a container
unless the time and cost to do so are unlimited. Without knowing what is inside a container, there is no way to
detect the center of gravity after a truck starts moving.
An important invention by the second author of this paper was produced to solve that difficulty. Detection of the
Three Dimensional Center of Gravity (D3DCG) can ascertain the position of the center of gravity while trucks
are moving. Soon after starting to move, vertical and rolling motions are measured onboard the trucks in half a
minute. Then D3DCG is activated, instantly assessing the position of the center of gravity. D3DCG assumes that
the center of gravity causes unique motions depending on its position on the truck. Therefore there is no need to
know what is inside the container.
This paper first demonstrated the precision of D3DCG running an experiment by which a truck scale model was
used. It was driven by remote control. Results of positions of the center of gravity delivered from D3DCG were
compared to those obtained using ordinary piece-by-piece calculations. Secondly, this paper assessed examples
of D3DCG installed on an actual truck loading real marine containers. Results proved that D3DCG is valuable
for real-time detection of the center of gravity when driving. This achievement will greatly contribute to the
prevention of rollover accidents.

Abstract:
A framework based on Taguchi parameter design was developed and successfully demonstrated to optimize two
quality characteristics- surface roughness and angular accuracy in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM)
process. An orthogonal array (OA)L
9was used in the Taguchi experiment design for four controllable
factors, each with three levels. With one non-controllable factor investigated, 18 experiments were conducted in
the Taguchi-based experiment setting, compared to 3
4 (=81) parameter combination as required by a traditional
DOE setting. Conducted for the two response variables, Taguchi experiments from the case study gave the
optimal combination of pulse on time at 9μs (A
1), feed rate at 35 in/min (B
2.), voltage at 8v (C
2), and wire
tension at 165g (D
3) for surface roughness optmization, and pulse on time at 13μs (A
3), feed rate at 35 in/min
(B
2), voltage at 8v (C
2), and wire tension at 160g (D
2) for angular accuracy optmization. This optimal parameter
setting combination was verified through a confirmation run that confirms the optimal quality responses of
126.1μin for surface roughness and 0.024º for angular accuracy. This research ultimately showed the dual
output variable improvement and the framework established itself as a means to solve similar problems in other
machining applications. The developed framework can serve as guidance for researchers to obtain multivariable
optimal setting in a systematic way.

Abstract:
Community-based early warning systems (CBEWS) is a "people-centered" system and empowers individuals
and communities threatened by hazards to act on sufficient time and in an appropriate manner to reduce the
possibility of personal injury, loss of life, damage to property, environment and loss of livelihood. These things
lead to the development of the device necessary for the protection of the community against flood hazards as it
allows people to get prepared with sufficient time. An alarm system was developed to monitor the water level on
Salog River that overflows during heavy rains. The water level sensors were submerged in a canal of water to
test the functionality of the device before its installation. Computer programs were created to enhance the
monitoring of water level: the River Monitor Software and the Water Level Monitor. The LED arrays emit light
according to water level; green for low, orange for medium, and red for high. A siren also alarms with different
intervals (30 seconds for low, 15 seconds for medium, and a continuous alarm for high). Automatic emergency
lighting was integrated in the design and lights up during power outages powered by rechargeable sealed battery
that charges when ac power is supplied to the device. Levels were established based on available data; low water
level means awareness; medium water level means preparedness and high water level means immediate
response is necessary.

- Corrosion Inhibition of Carbon Steel In Sulfuric Acid by Sodium
Caprylate

[Abstract]

Abstract:
The interaction of a sodium salt of octanoic acid, sodium caprylate (SC), with a carbon steel (CS) surface was
investigated, using range of experimental techniques. It was shown that SC acts as a good CS general corrosion
inhibitor, yielding a maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency of 77%. This high inhibition efficiency is
maintained even at higher temperatures. It was determined that SC inhibits both partial corrosion reactions, and
can thus be considered to be a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption of SC on the CS surface was described by
the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. It was found that this process is spontaneous, irreversible and driven by the
entropy gain. The CS surface morphology was studied by SEM and it was demonstrated that SC is a very
effective general corrosion inhibitor of CS. This also was confirmed by contact angle measurements which
showed that the CS surface became more hydrophobic when the SC was added to the solution.

- Retention Behavior of Lead Ion in Soil Bentonite Liner

[Abstract]

Abstract:
In this study, it is proposed to obtain breakthrough curves for commonly occurring lead ions in any effluents
through locally available soil amended with 10% bentonite and determine the diffusion coefficients. The
theoretical breakthrough curves of migrating ions in the soil column experiment are generated using
mathematical equation considering effective diffusion coefficients , knowing soil parameters and hydraulic
head. These curves are then compared with experimental curves. In cases where the theoretical and experimental
breakthrough curve do not match, there would be need to consider other parameter retardation factor along with
diffusion coefficient. Theoretical curves are generated for sets of diffusion coefficient and retardation factor.
The sets which give theoretical curve close to experimentally determined breakthrough curves are accepted.
Thus it may be possible to bring out the condition for the dominance of diffusion coefficient and retardation
factor. Then knowing the values of diffusion coefficient and retardation factor along with soil porosity and
hydraulic gradient it is possible to predict the breakthrough times of different ions in the soil. In this work the
breakthrough times of lead ion for the soil of 1m and 0.5m are established. The studies can be extended for any
ion or soil after establishing diffusion coefficient and retardation for the considered ions in the selected liner
under different hydrological regimes.

- Performance Analysis of Enhanced Opportunistic Minimum Cost
Routingin Mobile Adhoc Networks
K.vanisree, Dr.P.Ramamoorthy
[Abstract]
[PDF]
[Cite]
Abstract:
Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a temporary network with
infrastructure less environment to establish a data transmission between nodes within the network. A routing
protocol is used to discover routes between nodes. In this paper, we study the three existing routing protocols
namely AODV, DSDV and DSR to analyze theirperformance based on set of parameters.AODV and DSR
deliver almost all the packets compared to DSDV. Hence we try to modify the AODVprotocol and use in the
cooperative transmission.
In this paper, we study the cooperative transmission at the network layer and cooperative diversity at the
physical layer as a joint optimization of the transmission power in a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) with
static channel. However due to variable wireless channels static routing is suboptimal. Proposed protocol
proactively selects forwarding nodes that work cooperatively forwarding the packet towards the destination.
Cooperative transmission side diversity helps in reducing interference. Diversity can be achieved at the physical
layer by coordinating the multiple nodes. Nodes are equipped with Omni-directional antenna and take the
advantages of transmission side diversity to achieve energy saving, under the assumption that channel gains are
available at the transmitters.
The proposed Opportunistic Minimum Cost Cooperative Transmission Shortest Path (OMCTSP) algorithms
select the best optimum route with minimum cost in terms of energy, number of hops, available bandwidth, link
quality (SNR) and outage probability. As the network becomes larger, finding optimal routes becomes
computationally intractable as the complexity of the dynamic programming (DP) approach increases as o (22n)
where n is the number of nodes in the networks. Hence we develop two suboptimal algorithms have complexity
of o (n2) perform as same as optimal algorithm. Also developthe Opportunistic Cooperative Routing in MANET
(O_CORMAN), which is a network layer opportunistic routing scheme for mobile ad hoc networks. Nodes in
the network use the components proactive routing protocol, forwarder list update and local re-transmission. We
evaluate the performance using NS 2.32 simulator there is significant performance improvement with respect to
energy, throughput packet delivery, and delay compared with Modified AODV (OMCTSP).

- Evaluation of Groundwater Resource Potential using GIS and
Remote Sensing Application

[Abstract]

[Cite]
Abstract:
Environment and Development are the two wheels of the cart. However, they become antagonists at some
points. It has been witnessed many a times that development is done at the cost of environment. Analysis and
assessment tools like GIS along with Remote Sensing have proved to be very efficient and effective and hence
useful for management of natural resources. Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extent. In order to
ensure a judicious use of groundwater, proper evaluation is required. There is an urgent need of planned and
optimal development of water resources. An appropriate strategy is required to develop water resources with
planning based on conjunctive use of surface and subsurface water resources. Integrated remote sensing and GIS
can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data sets for decision making in
groundwater management and planning. Sustainable water resources development and management necessarily
depends on proper planning, implementation, operation and maintenance. The interpretation of remote sensing
data in conjunction with conventional data and sufficient ground truth information makes it possible to identify
and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydrologic
characters that may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of ground and surface water. Remotely
sensed data provides unbiased information on geology, geomorphology, structural pattern and recharging
conditions, which logically define the groundwater regime of an area. Groundwater resource potential has been
evaluated in Pulivendula-Sanivaripalli, Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and
Geographic information system. Under this study, three thematic maps viz. Geological map (Lithology and
Structure), Geomorphological map and Hydro morphological maps were prepared. These thematic maps have
been integrated with the help of GIS. Appropriate weightage has been assigned to various factors controlling
occurrence of groundwater to assess the groundwater potential in each segment of the study area. The area has
been classified into high potential, moderate potential, low potential and non-potential zones landforms ground
water development on the basis of hydromorphological studies. Some of the favorable locations have been
suggested to impound the excessive run off so as to augment the ground water resources of the area.
