Abstract:

This paper proposes a method to obtain the optimal settings of the protection scheme that is used to protect the distribution system in presence of distributed generation. The most common protection devices for the distribution systems are the overcurrent devices such as overcurrent relays, Auto-Reclosers (ARs) and fuses. The objective of the optimization process is to minimize the total operating time of the used protection devices. The objective is satisfied by determining the optimum pickup currents and the time dial settings for the protection devices. This provides faults isolation as fast as possible. The Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm is applied in this paper to the proposed system to optimize the protection system parameters and eliminate any failure may be occurred to the protection scheme. The proposed method is applied on IEEE-13 node test system. The results obtained from the proposed method are compared with the results obtained without applying the optimization technique. The coordination failure cases are eliminated using those new settings proving the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

Abstract:

In this paper, performance studies have been carried outformid-infrared (MIR) homojunction LED, single heterojunction LED (SH-LED) and double heterojunction LED (DH-LED) based on narrow bandgap semiconductors. The various trial structures have been modeled and simulated using analytical technique, numerical model and device simulation package ATLASTM for exploring their possible use in toxic and pollutant gas detection system in mid-infrared spectral region.The effect of minority carrier concentration on the lifetime of the carrier has been modeled to explain the saturation of LEDs output at high bias current. The results obtained by simulation techniques for various mid-infrared LEDs have been contrasted with the reported experimental results and found to be in good agreement..

The mapping of sheeproads since the 18th century to date, exposed in chronological order and increasing complexity based on cartographic, archive andfield-basedmaterials, aims atcreating an ethnographicmap at national level, from which we reproduce, for now, themethodologyandsomeessentials. The herds' winter roads were studied and mapped relatively recently. Only at thebeginning of the 20thcentury, during his research onthe South Carpathians, Emmanuel de Martonnedrawsup a "Sketch of themaintranshumanpaths in Valahia".

Abstract:

Drinking water crisis is one the global risk, in which around 200 children are dying per day. Drinking unsafe water alone causes around 3 million deaths per year. Despite the advancements in technology, efficient quality measures are not present to measure the quality of drinking water. In order to avoid this problem, This proposed work proposes a low cost water quality monitoring system using emerging technologies such as Machine Learning, IoT, and Cloud Computing which can replace the traditional way of quality monitoring. This will help the people who lives in rural areas to save their lives from dangerous diseases such as cholera, fluorosis, bone deformities etc. The proposed model has a capacity to control temperature of water and adjusts it so as to suit for environment temperature.

Abstract:

White organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) have been fabricated by combining a blue phosphorescent OLED with an external phosphor conversion layer (PCL). The PCL is formed from red CaMoO4:Eu3+ phosphor by spin-coating technique. By adjusting the thickness and concentration of PCL, a white light emission with the CIE coordinates of (0.32, 0.40) is obtained. At the same time, the WOLED shows an optimal luminous efficiency of 27.5 cd/A. The CIE surrounds pure white light (0.33, 0.33) and can be tunable in a wide range by varying PCL coating speed. Moreover, utilizing a micro-cavity in the blue OLED structure to fabricate WOLED with a coated-PCL, the WOLED demonstrates the CIE coordinate of (0.30, 0.34), which is close to the position of pure white light (0.33, 0.33)..

Abstract:

Visually impaired individuals face many problems throughout their lives.Insufficient education and inadequate facilities affect the lives of the visually impaired people. With today's technology, there are many studies that can facilitate the daily life of visually impaired people and continue their lives without the need of any relatives. In this study, by using smart phone camera, it was aimed to detect the drug shown to the camera and to introduce the drug to the visually impaired person by voice.

Abstract:

In India has the largest automobile sector that generates pollution to the environment. Many researchers fully focused on reduction of exhaust emission from the CI engine. Many of alternate fuels are invented for the reduction of air pollution and make up deficiently of fossil fuel, the alternate fuel such as 1st generation 2nd generation and 3rd generations. In the third generations like algae and other biological plants are used for production of Biodiesel. The algae and other plants have high oil content and commercially available and easily cultivated in land and garden. In this study Lemon grass has been chosen for the production of biodiesel. After 60 to 70 days growth of lemon grass plant harvested from the garden or cultivated land and converted into small pieces. The small pieces dried in shadows 3 to 4 days after that dried small pieces converted into power form. The power form lemon grass subjected into a chemical solvent such as N-Hexane about 70 to 80 hours. The 92%....

Abstract:

Current design practices of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) structures of steel are lacking in order to follow basic codal provisions, which results in serious damages of structure by different member failures and loss of money and lives. The current study is based on various case studies, observations and parametric studies of PEB structures. There is a common practice to ignore basic clauses during design of PEB structures in order to achieve economy and leaving structure under designed and unsafe. Also, in existing structures sometimes designer becomes ignorant to adopt corrective measures to make structure safe. Therefore, this work is a step to highlight basic clauses to be followed in PEB design and suggest remedies for existing PEB structures to make them safe through.....

Abstract:

Herbicides are phytotoxic substances ostensibly used in agriculture and responsible for significant impacts on the soil, posing a risk to many organisms. This makes it urgent to find strategies to remove or deactivate these compounds. The aim of this work was to verify the biodegrading potential of two wild Bacillus safensis strains, recovered from sugarcane cultivation soil. After acclimation, the strains were inoculated into soils contaminated with 50 mg.Kg-1 of ametryn (AMT) or hexazinone (HZN) and left for 60 days. Bioaugmention and biostimulation were associated by the addition of fertilizer and lipopeptide. Herbicide degradation was evaluated by the determination of CO2 concentration (mg.g-1 of soil) and pH monitoring. Both strains presented similar results. In reactors containing HZN, the maximum gas production reached about 1600 mg.g-1, while in reactors containing AMT, the production approached 800 mg.g-1, suggesting a higher recalcitrance of the compound. The best conditions were in the reactors to which lipopeptide and fertilizer had been added, compared to those where only lipopeptide was present. The germination index in two plants demonstrated that the strain degraded the herbicides, pointing to Cucumis anguria as the best indicator of toxicity..
