SUMMARY Tectonic plate motions predominantly result from a balance between the potential energy change of subducting slab and viscous dissipation in mantle, bending lithosphere slab–upper interface. A wide range observations active subduction zones exhumed rocks suggest that interface shear zone rheology is sensitive to composition crustal material—for example, sediments versus mafic igneous oc...

OBJECTIVE To assess bacteriological quality of drinking water in Punjab and to evaluate usefulness of H2S strip test in comparison with multiple tube test. METHOD Samples of water were tested using H2S strips and multiple tube test. RESULTS Maximum bacterial contamination was observed in water from domestic pumps (95.83%). Followed by tap water in rural areas of Punjab (91.30%) and tap wate...

The twin-roll strip casting process is a typical steel-strip production method which combines continuous casting and hot rolling process. The production line from molten liquid steel to the final steel-strip is shortened and the production cost is reduced significantly compared to the conventional continuous casting. The twin-roll strip casting process can produce 1-5 mm thin steel strip direct...

Micro Strip Antenna Array has been proposed with high efficiency for wireless communication. Micro strip antenna arrays are widely used in various applications like in wireless communication system, satellite communication, Radar systems, Global positioning systems, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMax), Rectenna applications, Telemedicin...

The final hot strip profile is a superposition of the roll initial crown, the roll bending and flattening crown, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown. In this research, linear regression models are proposed to predict the roll force, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown using experimental data provided by Mobarake Steel Complex (MSC). The short beam theory based on ela...

Lithospheric slab tearing, the process by which a subducted lithospheric plate is torn apart and sinks into Earth’s mantle, has been proposed as cause for surface vertical motions in excess of 100 s meters. However, little known about mechanisms that help initiate control propagation tearing associated uplift. This study aims to explore these processes means 3D thermo-mechanical geodynamic mode...
