Optimization of Roof angle for Sloping Roof Buildings under Extreme Wind Conditions
Abstract: A downburst that occurs during a thunderstorm is a strong downward current of wind which comes down with high speed from the cloud level and hits the ground. After hitting the ground it spreads radially outward in all directions. These are generally destructive in nature. There are evidences of downburst causing extensive damages to buildings, electrical installations etc. In India thunderstorms often occur during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons particularly in …

Aerosol to Suggest Climate Delineation
Abstract: Marine aerosol of submicron sized biogenic originated organic fraction is subtending persistently constitutively compared to drastic variation based on volcanic eruptions. Sulphur is studied to form acid aerosol where the basic constituent in the stratosphere is reduced comparatively. High concentrations of organic fraction have been found from aerosol in marine boundary layer (MBL). Marine aerosol chemical composition has been influenced by the yearly biological cycle of the ocean, and so …
