Linear control starter for single phase induction motor

This paper is based on the advancement of power electronics technology. In this paper, we forced on designing and development of Linear control starter for single-phase induction motor. An induction motor takes a large current while starting so we had to make a starter which will be reduced starting current of an induction motor. In this circuitry, we also gave high voltage and low voltage protection circuitry. In this, we have used a microcontroller with solid state power electronics device i.e. thyristors. The results show that this method can be reduced starting current.

Richard Rorty’s criteria for progressive left

Richard Rorty’s progressive Left is the main political viewpoint that satisfies the criteria for any nation. It ingrains trust in the individual since it depicts a future that is the satisfaction of the ethical character of America. It is a future-arranged viewpoint yet does not endeavor to portray the methods through which the change will happen in extraordinary detail. The most essential part of the progressive Left is the trust an individual must have in his or her nation and what's to come. This is anything but a visually impaired trust, the kind that would make an individual fall into spectatorship and not want to play a participatory part, but rather the kind that makes an individual feel that his or her battles are not futile. Americans can't expect that their nation will fall flat at accomplishing its objectives. An admired future may not be accomplished in their lifetime, but rather they should at present have to trust that their relatives will have the capacity to live in an ethically impartial society. This paper will explore his four criteria for Progressive Left.

Advanced techniques for transformer protection

Power transformer can be expensive and are an incredibly valuable component in the power system. Faults can lead to repairing or replacement, therefore, it is necessary to minimize it thereby reducing the damage. Currently, the protection by electromagnetic relay makes use of the individual relay and monitoring equipment for identification. This paper firstly summarizes all available protection methods then suggests a certain method to implement advanced relay with high performance, flexibility monitoring capability and advanced programmable

Review on multi storey building foundation strength against various soil properties and seismic force

The foundation stability for different types of multi-storied building is becoming one of the most important areas of study since last few years. But unfortunately, there are many factors associated with the stability of the foundation are yet to be discovered. However it has been seen that many have attempted to establish the correlation between different coefficients and factors associated with beams and column failure, but only a few research works have been considered the failure against seismic force. There are only a few numbers of research evidence available which indicate that the analysis of the stability against seismic force is one the most important parameter in this regard. In this work, a detailed study related to the different factors associated with the building foundation as well as their effect and correlation with the seismic forces has been done. From the study, it has been found that the deep foundation provides better resistance than the shallow foundation against seismic force.

Role of Benzydamine mouthwash in radiation induced oral mucositis- Single blind randomized control study

The aim of this paper is to determine the effect of Benzydamine in addition to normal saline mouthwash and compare it with normal saline mouthwash only, in reducing radiation/chemoirradiation induced oral mucositis in patients with Head and Neck malignancies. An open-label single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Arm A - Radiotherapy/ Chemoirradiation who were randomized to receive Benzydamine mouth wash and normal saline mouth wash. Arm B - Radiotherapy/Chemoirradiation who were randomized to receive normal saline mouthwash only. Forty patients were accrued in the trial, 20 in the control arm and 20 in study arm. All patients completed the treatment protocol except 4 patients in the control group who discontinued treatment after 4 to 5 weeks. A number of patients in control vs. study arm of Chemo irradiation group were 14 vs. 13 and in Radiotherapy group 6 vs. 7 patients. The occurrence of Grade 3 mucositis was less in the control arm 30% vs. 40% but the onset was later among patients in the study arm (week 3). In the Chemo irradiation group requirement for analgesic (92.8% vs. 53.8%), topical anaesthetic (35.7% vs. 7.6% - significant), occurrence of mouth pain (28.5% vs. 15.3%) and Ryles tube feeding (28.5%vs15.3%) were less in the study arm and also tolerated more number of cycles of concurrent chemotherapy (76% vs. 14% p= 0.036). A number of patients having a break in treatment (0% vs. 42.8% -significant) and occurrence of oral thrush (16% vs. 28.5%) were more in study arm of Radiotherapy only group but the number of patients included was small (6 vs. 7). Nausea and vomiting was the predominant complaint in study arm probably induced by the study mouth wash. The occurrence of dryness of oral mucosa and throat was more in study arm of the chemo-irradiation group but less in radiotherapy only group. Overall the addition of Benzydamine mouth wash to normal saline mouthwash along with oral care protocol during treatment did not show significant benefit. But there seems to be some benefit with the use of study mouth wash in the chemo-irradiation group only. Since the sample size is small will need to do the study with larger numbers to document statistically significant benefit

Implementation of automatic solar tracking and cleaning system

With the growing requirement of electricity and concern for the environmental impact of fossil fuels, implementation of eco-friendly energy sources like solar power is rising. The solar PV modules are generally employed in dust environments which is the case in tropical countries like India. The dust gets accumulated on the front surface of the module and blocks incident light from the sun. The power output reduces as much as by 30% if the module is not cleaned for a month. Accumulation of dust on even one panel in an array reduces their efficiency in energy generation considerably and need to keep the panel surface as clean as possible. In this paper, we designed a system which not only tracks sun but also clean module automatically. This mechanism required an LDR for tracking the sun. While cleaning the solar panels, a mechanism consists of sliding brushes has been developed. In terms of daily energy generation, the present tracking -cum cleaning scheme provides about 30% more energy output as compared to the stationary PV module. This paper gives an idea about the combination of tracking and cleaning system.
