The dynamic behaviors of water droplets on a slippery surface are significant to practical anti-icing applications. Herein, the impact and sliding behavior lubricant-infused surfaces (LISs) were investigated with high-speed camera. LISs prepared by infusing perfluoropolyether oils into anodized porous surfaces. results show that maximum spreading diameter retraction velocity droplet increased W...

In this work, we introduce the Linear Integer Secret Sharing (LISS) scheme, which is a secret sharing scheme done directly over the integers. I.e., the generation of shares is done by an integer linear combination of the secret and some random integer values. The reconstruction of the secret is done directly by a linear integer combination of the shares of a qualified subset of the parties. The...

Back-pressure is a logical mechanism to control the flow of information on a communication channel of a latency-insensitive system (LIS) while guaranteeing that no packet is lost. Back-pressure is necessary for building open LISs and it represents an interesting design alternative also for closed LISs because it makes possible to realize highly modular implementations with more predictable feat...

The IRS-1D LISS III false colour composite (FCC) decoded imagery belonging to Kosi river watershed of Almora district of Uttaranchal under warm humid Lesser Himalayan agro-ecological region was interpreted and surveyed for soil resource mapping. On the basis of image interpretation and ground truth study ten physiographic units were identified. Soil physiography relationship was established on ...

Pulicat Lake is one of the major wetlands in India. It is the second largest brackish water lagoon in India next to Chilika Lake in Orissa state. Pulicat Lake sits beside the Bay of Bengal so, the study on the mouth is vital. The investigations were carried out by using multi-temporal satellite imageries of IRS P6, LISS III data for four years viz., 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Subsequent changes...

The objectives of this project are to create a spatial digital database consisting of LU/LC and road network maps with the help of IRS-ID, PAN & LISS-III merged data and SOI toposheets, to create database consisting of traffic volume, vehicle density and details of solid waste and to evolve an optimal transportation route maps for efficient, safe and economic disposal of solid waste. The final ...

Image fusion is a technique of obtaining high spatial resolution multispectral images from low spatial resolution multispectral and high spatial resolution panchromatic images. Various techniques exist to perform such fusion. These techniques, however, do not seem to preserve the spectral information content of original multispectral image in the fused image. Hence, in this study a recent and e...

Watershed prioritization is considered as the most significant aspect in watershed resource management and development program. The present work attempts to prioritize seventeen sub-watersheds Ruparel of Alwar district Rajasthan, India. For sub-watersheds, morphometric land use/land cover (LULC) analysis were performed using remote sensing GIS. Base map study area has been derived from SOI topo...

Digital image classification is generally performed to produce land cover maps from remote sensing data, particularly for large areas. The performance of image classifiers that utilize only the remote sensing data may deteriorate, especially in mountainous regions, due to the presence of shadows of high peaks. In this study, a multisource classification approach to map land cover in Himalayan r...
