Nano aluminum oxide was prepared by the combustion method using nitrate as oxidizer and urea a fuel. Characterization of synthesized materials performed SEM (scanning electron microscope), powder XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), TEM (transmission microscope). Al-Mg/Al2O3 (2, 4, 6, 8 wt%) metal matrix nanocomposites were liquid metallurgy route-vertex tech...

We have investigated the influences of aluminum and gallium dopants (0 to 2.0 mol%) on zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films regarding crystallization and electrical and optical properties for application in transparent conducting oxide devices. Al- and Ga-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on glass substrates (corning 1737) by sol-gel spin-coating process. As a starting material, AlCl3⋅6H2O, Ga(NO3)2, ...

BACKGROUND Wax esters are important ingredients in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, lubricants and other chemical industries due to their excellent wetting property. Since the naturally occurring wax esters are expensive and scarce, these esters can be produced by enzymatic alcoholysis of vegetable oils. In an enzymatic reaction, study on modeling and optimization of the reaction system to increase ...

Laser welding is an advance non-traditional and high energy beam welding technique for dissimilar material, which is being increasingly used in industries like automobile, nuclear reactors, aerospace etc. Again it is a very tough task to joining dissimilar materials due to their properties variation. In this present work two dissimilar metals such as copper and AISI 304 stainless steel are take...

Integrated Al2O3:Er 3+ channel waveguide ring lasers were realized on thermally oxidized silicon substrates. High pump power coupling intoand low output power coupling fromthe ring is achieved in a straightforward design. Wavelength selection in the range 1532 to 1557 nm was demonstrated by varying the length of the output coupler from the ring. Keywords—waveguide laser; ring laser; erbium-dope...

Linear programming (LP) is an important field of optimization. Even though, interior point methods are polynomial algorithms, many LP practical problems are solved more efficiently by the primal and dual revised simplex methods (RSM); however, RSM has a poor performance in hard LP problems (HLPP) as in the Klee-Minty Cubes problem. Among LP methods, the hybrid method known as Simplex-Genetic (S...

The demands of future CMOS devices require a new gate dielectric material with higher dielectric constant than SiO2. Aluminum oxide is one of the high-k materials and an interesting candidate. Thin Al2O3 layers have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from a mono-crystalline sapphire target. This deposition technique was chosen because of its flexibility and availability. Aluminum o...

In this work, statistical experimental design was applied for the optimization of medium constituents for Gentamicin production by Micromsonospora echinospora subs pallida (MTCC 708) in a batch reactor and the results are compared with the ANN predicted values. By central composite design, 50 experiments are carried out for five test variables: Starch, Soya bean meal, K2HPO4, CaCO3 and FeSO4. T...
