Lemon peel extract as a reducing agent of Graphene Oxide

In this work, Graphene Oxide (GO) was synthesized by treating graphite powder with KMnO4 and a mixture of concentrated H2SO4 and H3 PO4. The experiment is carried out at room temperature without NaNO3.The effects of reaction parameters such as reaction time, reaction temperature, and amount of KMnO4 on the degree of oxidation of graphite powder to graphene oxide were studied. The results showed that treating graphite powder with KMnO4 at 40oC for 12 h resulted in a better degree of oxidation. The reduction of the synthesized graphene oxide (GO) by phytoextract was investigated using an aqueous peel extract of orange (Citrus sinensis). The prepared GO and phytoextract reduced GO (RGO) were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy & Fourier transform infrared analyses to provide a clear indication of the removal of oxygen-containing groups from the graphene and the formation of RGO. The extent of reduction was determined from elemental analysis.

A study to identify hearing problem among elderly

In India the global morbidity rate of hearing problem is 63 million. The current scenario is to increase the life span of the old age population. Our focus is to provide a good quality of life for the people by identifying people with hearing problem. Methods: Descriptive research design was chosen to the study to identify hearing problems among elderly in PSG Hospitals, at Coimbatore. The sample consists of 30 patients. Elderly patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected by using purposive sampling technique. The data collection was done by using the self-administered questionnaire. Collected data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results: Out of 30 samples, 15 were identified to have hearing problem. Out of 15 patients, (27%) had no hearing problem, (60%) had mild to moderate hearing problem and (13%) had significant hearing problem. There was a significant association between the severity of hearing problem and with Age of the elders

The methods of non-violent: protest and persuasion

“The aftermath of violence is tragic bitterness while the aftermath of nonviolence is the beloved community” Great Martin Luther King Jr. Extreme protests has been the mainstay of activists around the world for long years but protest in India which popularized and perfected the non-violent protest and quietly powerful hunger strike. There have been many rushes to embrace an increasingly unusual form of agitations

Magnetic effect on heat and mass transfer analysis of nanofluid past a vertical plate through a porous medium in the presence of chemical reactive spices

Magnetic effect of Heat and Mass Transfer analysis of Nanofluid past a vertical plate through a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction has been studied. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Series solution technique. The influences of the various parameters on the flow field, Temperature field, Mass Concentration, Shearing Stress, rate of heat transfer, and rate of mass transfer are extensively discussed from graphs and tables.

Computational modeling of transitional flow over NACA-0018 airfoil at low Reynolds Number

The present study presents the computational modeling of transitional flow over NACA-0018 airfoil at low chord Reynolds number of 105 at various angles of attack ranging from 0o to 15o using two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) combined with the Menter’s (γ-〖R ̃e〗_θ) transition model. Two different computational domain configurations were optimized in order to investigate the effect of the wind tunnel walls on the developed flow. The structured mesh technique was used for both domains in order to generate high-quality grids that obtain the turbulence model requirements. The numerically predicted results of the airfoil aerodynamic forces presented in terms of lift and drag coefficients as well as boundary layer predictions including surface pressure distribution, skin friction coefficient, mean velocity profiles, RMS velocity profiles, and the boundary layer displacement thickness were compared to the experimental data. Very good agreement was attained prior to the airfoil stall angle, whereas the agreement became poorer as the airfoil was completely stalled.

Integration of particle swarm optimization with an adaptive K-Nearest Neighbor for energy-efficient clustering in MANET

The objective of the proposed work is to increase the lifetime of mobile ad hoc networks. The energy efficiency issue associated with the mobile Adhoc network is the critical factor for the success of any MANET system and hence we aim to develop an energy-efficient MANET system suitable for any kind of real environment. This paper addresses the nodes mobility issue based on a well-known particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique and as well designs a clustering algorithm based on an adaptive k-nearest neighbor algorithm. The cluster formation is achieved by considering a multi-objective fitness function of PSO and extensive experimentation in the simulated networked environment reveals the performance of the proposed method. In mobile Adhoc networks (MANET), optimal energy is one of the critical components and the random movement of mobile nodes within a region of interest made it more complex. The provision to have frequent changes in the topology of mobile nodes in addition to keeping the battery life for a longer duration is much more complex. The standard metrics such as network lifetime, the average number of clusters formed, energy usage, and packet transfer ratio are estimated to exhibit the performance of the proposed method. A comparative analysis is carried out with the recently proposed variant of particle swarm optimization based methods to reveal the accuracy and energy efficiency nature of the proposed method. The novelty of the proposed approach includes the exploration of an optimization algorithm integrating with a clustering strategy to increase the energy efficiency of the MANET thereby increasing the lifetime of the network. The proposed approach exhibit better accuracy and possess energy efficient even under scaled environment.
