Modelling parking for public health and education institutions in Srinagar City

Parking is mostly seen in a strategic point of view in terms of demand and supply and not much effort has been made in the developing world to forge the relationship between parking demand with the factors affecting the demand for educational institutions. The focus of this work is on modeling off-street parking at educational institutes based on user’s behavior. This work is an effort to determine the distinguishing factors affecting parking. In this study two types of multiple linear regression models using SPSS software were developed. Disaggregate model and aggregate model. The demand for this model is expressed in terms of parking usage per person per day in hours at educational institutions in Srinagar city. The disaggregate model analysis revealed that the most influencing independent variables for this model are travel distance and income per month for employees and visitors with the coefficient of variation (R) = 0.96 and coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.92 and family income and travel distance for students with the coefficient of variation (R)= 0.98 and coefficient of determination (R2)=0.96. Aggregate model study determines the most suitable independent variable for estimating the parking demand (vehicle hours) or parking supply (space hours) at educational institutions. The formula emulated can be used to establish the number of parking bays to be provided to accommodate the parking needs at educational institutions. The aggregate model analysis predicts that most fitting independent variable for determining the parking demand formula is the number of employees working at the institution with the coefficient of variation(R)=0.997 and coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.993. The most suitable model is that for which the coefficient of variation(R) and coefficient of determination (R2) is nearly equal to one. Goodness of fit test or significance test and validation test has been conducted on the developed equations and can be used with a high level of confidence.

Performance evaluation of helicoidal flow jet flocculator

Potable and safe drinking water is an essential component of livelihood. The treatment plant performance suffers due to failure of various mechanical components; hence many researchers have proposed rapid mixing of coagulant and flocculation process assisted with jet flow as a promising unit. Dhabadgaonkar, (2008) had designed helicoidal flow jet floccu-clarifier but, the formation of helicoidal flow and actual performance in the basin is still not clear. To get better understanding of this unit, only flocculator was designed and tested by using CFD approach. The study was undertaken by designing single basin flocculator using dual tangential jet with different inlet positions. The performances were compared with non-tangential single jet flocculator. Performance indicators like Morrill index, percentage of dead space and plug/mixed flow were calculated and analyzed to understand its impact. Among the three types of inlet positions studied, the basin with non-tangential single jet flocculator performed better compared to tangential jet flocculator. This study corroborates the findings of Pani and Patil (2007).

Study and compare the photodegradation efficiency of clay based compound with semiconductor oxide nanomaterials

Improvement of semiconductor oxide nanomaterials play a vital role in the photocatalytic activity of the photodegradation process. In this article, we compare the characterization property of photocatalytic activity of Bentonite clay supported ZnWO4 with heterostructured compound of BiVO4 – ZnO, and DyVO4 − ZnO. The active nanomaterials exhibit high reusability without any loss of photocatalytic property up to four successive stages. Our results give a new impact on the performance of photocatalysts on environmental remediation.

Pets and stress

There is increasing recognition of the therapeutic functions pets play in relation to mental health. Many studies have been carried out proving that the effects of pets are beneficial to overall human health. This descriptive analysis explored the relationship between pet ownership, attachment, and psychological health among college students in Mumbai. Animals that one keeps as a pet offers mental as physical health benefits. This existing evidence mentioned in this study is surveyed and responses show a direct correlation between pets and lower stress.

The motion of weak spherical shock waves in highly viscous medium

The interaction of shock waves with viscosity is one of the central problems in the supersonic regime of compressible fluid flow. The propagation of weak spherical shock waves in highly viscous uniform medium has been investigated by CCW method. It is found that the shock velocity and shock strength both decreases as shock advances for low viscous region of a medium to the high viscous region. The pressure and particle velocity behind strong shock decreases with adiabatic index and Small decreasement in the pressure and particle velocity is found with the increase in viscosity coefficient. It is shown that applications of the CCW method and the neglect of overtaking disturbances are equivalent.

Modeling and data analysis for the evolution of COVID-19 in Ethiopia

COVID-19 is currently affecting over 215 countries worldwide and poses serious threats to public health not only the health system but also economics, education, transportation, politics. The objective of this paper was modeling the evolution COVID-19 data using deterministic and stochastic models and investigates how the model parameters depend on the population sizes in Ethiopia and we extend the deterministic SEIR (Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, Recovered) model to simulate disease outbreak scenarios and to quantify the potential impact of a host-based early warning capability to mitigate pathogen transmission during an outbreak. Here, we show that real-time predictions of COVID-19 infections are extremely complex to errors in data collection and crucially depend on the last available data. We test these ideas in both using deterministic and stochastic models (susceptible–exposed–infected–recovered) models that are currently used to forecast the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic. Our goal is to show how uncertainties arising from both poor data quality and inadequate estimations of model parameters (incubation, infection, and recovery rates) promulgate to long-term extrapolations of infection counts. Finally is to be better to understand the evolution of COVID-19 in Ethiopia, we apply a susceptible–exposed–infected–recovered (SEIR) model to the analysis of data from the Ethiopian Department of Health. Based on systematic and numerical results, as well on the data, the basic reproduction number is estimated to R_0= 1.12, we have analyzed SEIR model and concluded with saturated incidence rate and we observed that the reproduction number plays an important role to control the disease, when R_0 1, the endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable, so based on the analysis of the result was indicates the diseases was reached outbreak time so that the responsible body will create more awareness in the society for the seriousness of the diseases
