Performance evaluation of grey water treatment using Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) along with Phytotreatment and future scope for use as drinking water

Greywater forms a major part of our domestic wastewater system. Proper Treatment and reuse of grey water can solve a major problem of water scarcity. Grey water is that part of our wastewater which is free from fecal matter and contains very low organic content and only a few pathogens. It becomes easier to treat greywater discharged from bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries. Properly treated grey water can be used for toilet flushing, irrigation, gardening of homes to reduce our water bills. Several treatment technologies have been developed in the past years to evaluate the performance of greywater treatment. Use of Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) along with a mathematical model was done to analyze the different concentrations of grey water i.e. High, Medium, and low concentrations. The RBC system proved to be efficient in BOD removal and it was between 93% - 96% and TSS removal were between 84% - 95% of all concentrations of Influent grey water. Phytotreatment of grey water was also done by the use of oleaginous plants like rapeseed, soybean, and sunflower. The Phytotreatment tests were carried out in 20 L pots in a greenhouse and it presents high removal efficiency of Nitrogen ( N > 80%), Phosphorus (P >90%), COD about 90 %. Biomass production along with grey water treatment was the main finding of this study. The treated grey water can be used for disinfection and Sand Filtration. Efficient Treatment of greywater can comply with water shortage in future

Use of e-waste and fly ash as a filler replacement in the bituminous concrete pavement

The goal of this research is to explore the impact of e-waste as a coarse aggregate and fly ash as a filler in the bituminous concrete pavement.Due to increase in the demand for raw materials, there is depletion of raw materials nowadays which make depletion of resources for the future generation.There is a lot of alternative to e-waste and flash which recklessly increasing day by day and effect badly to the environment.From the previous researchers, it is observed that there is an unequivocal increment in marshal stability and flow rate with the increase in the percentage of waste with and fly ash in the bituminous design mix.The fly ash is not helping in increasing the strength but it helps to attain the stability nearly equal to nominal mix.It is an attempt to use the waste products like e-waste and flash which harm the environment and difficult to decompose and reuse.In this research, I am going to use e-waste as coarse aggregates in replacement with different percentage and fly ash as a complete filler.

Detection technique to identify Asthma level in children

To obediently and modestly observes the asthma patient's atmosphere to classify the presence of two asthma-exacerbating activities, smoking and cooking using the Foobot sensor. Asthma management is challenging as it involves understanding causes and avoiding triggers that are both multi-factorial and distinctive to every individual. Moreover, it is tricky for doctors to constantly monitor the health of lots of patients and the environmental triggers simultaneously; or to get sufficient data on the environment in which the patient lives. A data-driven approach to develop a continuous monitoring-activity detection system aimed at understanding and improving indoor air quality in asthma management. In this learning, we were productively talented to notice a high absorption of Particulate Matter (PM), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) during cooking and smoking activities. We detected (a) smoking with an error rate of 1%, (b) cooking with an error rate of 11%, and (c) obtain an overall 95.7% percent accuracy classification across all events (control, cooking and smoking). A scheme will permit doctors and clinicians to associate potential asthma symptoms and exacerbation information from patients with environmental factors without having to personally be present.

Estimating the channel uplink capacity of a CR based central access MIMO Network

The major objective of this paper is to study the performance analysis of CR-MIMO (Cognitive Radio-Multiple Input Multiple Output) networks with various fading channels. Specifically, the research objectives are modeling and evaluation of outage probability in CR-MIMO network in both faded and non-faded environment & modeling and evaluation of uplink ergodic MIMO channel capacity in CR based central access network in different fading channel techniques.

Identification, isolation and characterization of unknown impurity in Ondansetron Drug product

A new degradant of ondansetron was detected at a level of 0.5 % w/w during the reversed phase HPLC analysis in ondansetron 4mg and 8mg stability storage samples. This impurity was identified by LC-MS and was characterized by NMR (1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 2D NMR), LC/MS/MS and FTIR spectral studies. This impurity was prepared by isolation from the impurity enriched samples of ondansetron monohydrochloride dihydrate by using reversed phase preparative HPLC. Based on the spectral data, this impurity was named as carboxy (2-methyl-1-((9-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol- 3-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-3-yl)methanide chloride. The identification, formation and structure elucidation of this impurity has been discussed in details.

Deploy redundancy of internet using first hop redundancy protocol and monitoring it using IP Service Level Agreements (IPSLA)

Availability and Security of the services are very important factors for the cross-platform network, in order to succeed the desired outcome, we are exploring First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) such us, Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual router redundancy protocol(VRRP). These protocols are providing redundancy and Reliability into the data link layer of Open System Interconnection (OSI) model by allowing multiple hosts to make a group among of them for load distribution and they are appearing in the form of a single virtual link. one or more than one router will be acting as an active hop for load balancing and forwarding the clients request to outside of the network, few more routers will be kept in a standby mode for a situation where if one of the active Hops fails down then Redundancy protocol will maintain connectivity by forwarding the clients requests to another Hop in the equivalent Group. For monitoring and measuring the performance of redundancy protocols, we deploy internet protocol Service Level Agreements (IPSLA) which is Feature of internetwork operating system (IOS) that allows us to analyze the active traffic of IP service.
