Abstract. The Indian capital megacity of Delhi is reeling under deteriorating air quality, and control measures are not yielding any significant changes, mainly due to a poor understanding sources emissions; hence, priority option in mitigation planning lacking. In this paper, we have made an attempt develop spatially resolved technological high-resolution gridded (∼0.4km×0.4km) emission invent...

In modern days parallel and distributed computing is one of the greatest platform for research and innovation in the field of computer science. Rapid growth of communication network and need to solve large scale problem, complexity and efficiency of the system as a whole is the key issue. Load balancing is one of the most important problem in attaining high performance in parallel and distribut...

Forecasting electric demand and its geographical distribution is a prerequisite to generate expansion planning scenarios for distribution planning. This paper presents a comprehensive methodology that uses a fuzzy inference model over a GIS support, to capture the behavior of influence factors on load growth patterns and map the potentia1 for development. The load growth is spread over maps wit...

Roadways supported by bolts contain support structures that are built into the rock surrounding the roadway, referred to as reinforced rocks in this paper. Using physical model simulation, the paper investigates the bearing characteristics of the reinforced rock under different bolt parameters with incrementally increased load. The experimental results show that the stress at the measurement po...

Fatigue crack propagation tests under high–low and low–high block loading sequences have been performed in aluminium alloy specimens. The tests were carried out at constant DK conditions. Two stress ratios were analysed: R = 0.05 and R = 0.4. Crack closure was monitored in all tests by the compliance technique using a pin microgauge. The observed transient post load step behaviour is discussed ...

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition and [CO(2)] are increasing and represent environmental problems. Planting fast-growing species is prospering to moderate these environmental impacts by fixing CO(2). Therefore, we examined the responses of growth, photosynthesis, and defense chemical in leaves of Eucalyptus urophylla (U) and the hybrid of E. deglupta × E. camadulensis (H) to different CO(2) and n...

Background and Aims: Inhibition of viral growth in coinfected cells with two different viruses has been described. This phenomenon known as viral interference can occur in several virus host systems such as interference of enterovirus infection on poliovirus vaccine strains. In this study we superinfected reovirus infected HeLa cells with poliovirus to determine if poliovirus can replicate in s...

Fatigue of materials, like alloys, is basically fatigue-crack growth in small cracks nucleating and growing from micro-structural features, such as inclusions voids, or at micro-machining marks, large to failure. Thus, the traditional nucleation stage (Ni) microcracks (initial flaw sizes 1 30 μm about 250 μm) metal alloys. crack-growth tests were conducted on a 9310 steel under laboratory air r...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate insulin values, insulin resistance, growth factors and cytokine levels in women suffering from breast cancer and the effect of chemotherapy on these parameters. DESIGN In a prospective study, glucose and insulin values were determined in ten previously undiagnosed diabetic postmenopausal women with stage IV breast cancer (hepatic metastases excluded) during an oral gluco...

Temperature is one of the effective parameters in erosion of spark plug electrodes. In this research, temperature of spark plug was measured in engine's different operation conditions with two types of fuels: compressed natural gas and gasoline. Test results showed that, temperature of center electrode is lower than ground electrode and maximum difference between them is 110ºC that occurs at...
