Geomorphic Evolution of Landscape is about how the changes occur in the landform by different geomorphological processes. In addition to it, how the tectonics play a vital role in such evolutions. The work area is a hilly region and is a part of Lesser Himalaya and Siwaliks. The two different fault systems (i.e. Main Boundary Fault and Local fault identified in the field) are controlling the erosion and deposition pattern in the area. Sediment...

LPP emissions from some metal oxide targets were studied with reference to corresponding metal targets of pure quality. Emissions in the visible region were used for the spectroscopic procedures of LPP characterization. Spectroscopic investigations were also done to study the behaviour of expanding LPP under the influence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Photo-ablated target materials generated an electrical signal, which served as a probe s...

Sulfide removal from sulfide containing waste waters has gained importance in recent years due to its vital impacts on the environment. This work was in the domain of environmental science that showed optimization of microbial processes can improve efficiency in waste water management systems especially in tannery waste water where sulfide containing chemicals are common ingredients during the course of the tanning processes. The author tried ...

Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems Non-fragile H-infinity Filtering" investigates the problem of non-fragile H-infinity filter design for T-S fuzzy systems. The nonlinear plant is represented by a T-S fuzzy model. Given a T-S fuzzy system, the objective of this book is to design an H-infinity filter with the gain variations such that the filtering error system guarantees a prescribed H-infinity performance level. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the...

Condition-based maintenance is the maintenance of a system, sub-system or equipment at the right place and at the right time. There are various techniques adopted for CBM such as vibrations analysis, oil analysis, wear particle analysis and other tribological methods. In addition there are more signal-based, model based and knowledge based approaches to lessen the need for maintenance and increase availability and reliability. Vibrations analy...

The present study investigated the washback effect of the English Meitzav (Hebrew acronym for Growth and Effectiveness Measures for Schools) test on EFL teachers in relations to two different stages of their professional development. Washback refers to the effects of high-stakes tests on teaching and learning behaviors of stake-holders. Research on washback demonstrates that high-stakes testing influences stakeholders' perceptions, beliefs and...

This exceptional look deep into the early days of Freemasonry draws back the veil of secrecy surrounding this long-lived society. It was a true secret society before 1717, and most knowledge of events in those years became lost--but some original documents and many isolated records remained. This wealth of material has now been brought together to shine a surprisingly bright light on the people who shaped Freemasonry and on the development of ...

Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) has a great role to play in the fuel economy of commercial and military vessels, but for a nuclear submarine there are far better options to be explored. A nuclear submarine lacks the advantage of silent operations compared to conventional diesel-electric submarine. However, recent advancement in power dense naval electric propulsion systems has presented IFEP as a viable option for stealthier nuclear...
