Fly
ash characterization, utilization and Government initiatives in
|
Current annual production of fly ash, a by-product from coal based thermal power plants (TPPs), is 112 million tonnes (MT). Some of the problems associated with fly ash are large area of land required for disposal and toxicity associated with heavy metal leached to groundwater. This review presents different ways of using fly ash and policies of Govt of India regarding utilization and disposal of fly ash. Environmental and occupational health hazards associated with fly ash are also discussed. |

Route choice
modelling in urban transportation networks using fuzzy logic and logistic
regression methods
|
This study presents route choice model of
transportation network in Denizli using fuzzy logic model (FLM), logistic
regression model (LRM) and survey-based data. Four important parameters
(traffic safety, travel time, congestion and environmental effects) were used
in the models. Fuzzy logic concepts are especially used to take note of
imprecision, vagueness and uncertainty characteristics of route choice
behaviour. FLM is compared with LRMs and encouraging results are obtained
with FLM. |

Modernization of Indian coal mining |
In view of vision 2025, CIMFR, Dhanbad
has developed a web-based information and decision support system for coal
mining industry. Paper summaries scope of proposed IT based system by
highlighting existing problems and proposed solutions under different modules,
and briefly enumerates the methodology to develop the proposed system. |

DM make up water
reduction in thermal power plants using Six Sigma DMAIC methodology
|
Six
Sigma DMAIC (define, measure, analysis, improve, control) methodology has
been applied to a process industry seeking energy conservation, taking a
specific case of a thermal power plant. DM (De-mineralize) water in these
plants is an expensive input material. It has been found that 0.1% increase in
DM make up water consumption increases generation cost by Rs 82.82 lakhs per
annum. In present study, implementation of Six Sigma project recommendations
brought down mean make up water from 0.90% to 0.54% of MCR (Maximum
Continuous Rating), accruing with it a comprehensive energy savings of nearly
Rs 304.77 lakhs per annum.

Reduction of
artifacts in 12-channel ECG signals using FastICA algorithm
|
ECG signals are required to be reduced for accurate and easier diagnosis in clinical resting ECG, ambulatory ECG,
exercise ECG and long-term ECG monitoring. In this paper, Fast ICA algorithm
has been
used for reducing artifacts
and noise from 12-channel ECG recordings. A Graphical User Interface is also made for the same purpose. |

Development of methodology for emergency repair of airfield pavements
|
Emergency repair of airfields have to be carried out at utmost priority. New development in weapon technology with deep strike and increased demands in aircraft operations make existing crater repair procedures inadequate. Field trials were conducted for crater repair at Hindon and Jaisalmer Air Base. The filling of central crater and deep adjacent area is recommended by the use of recycled pavement aggregates of different sizes in layers.

Novel synthesis of biologically active nitro heterocyclic compound |
Different nitro heterocyclic compounds possessing
diverse biological activity have been successfully synthesized by simple,
rapid and environmentally benign method using bismuth nitrate supported on
silica gel and were screened for their antimicrobial properties to set up the
structure activity relationship. |
