Review on: Heterogeneous Solid Base Catalyst Production from Waste Animal Bone as Transesterification of Jatropha Oil
Abstract: Biodiesel is produce mainly by transesterification, reacting vegetable oils or animal fats with monohydric alcohol in presence of a catalyst. The transesterification reaction is affected by various parameters. One of this parameter is catalyst type. Generally, catalysts used in transesterification reaction can be divided into three categories: homogenous, heterogeneous and enzymes. Heterogeneous catalysts offer numerous advantages over homogeneous catalysts as it can easily be separated from reaction mixture and can …

Participatory Risk Management Model for Construction Projects Using Expert Systems
Abstract: Construction involves processing of numerous interdependent risks. But risk management in the sector is still largely intuitive and mere system compliance. Meticulous efforts towards a system-based approach is lacking. These lapses emphasized the need for developing an easy to use participatory model for risk management at construction project sites. A model that would not only enhance the effectiveness of the risk management process but also generate essential knowledge that can …

Numerical Modeling of Elastoviscoplastic Material Model in Strain Space
Abstract: Conventional material non-linear analysis works with stress-space plasticity. It uses yield function, loading-unloading criteria, and flow rule in terms of stress parameters. It shows ambiguity in loading-unloading criteria for softening materials. During such situations, an alternative strain-space formulation becomes quite useful to carry out analysis of such materials. The viscoplastic response of materials requires the time integration of system of non-linear first order differential equations. In viscoplasiticy, the constitutive equation …

A Review—A Gift that Counts: Charity Automation
Abstract: AbstractWe all like to go to shopping department shops and buy the first-class satisfactory branded clothes for ourselves; devour scrumptious food at the fine restaurants and stay an expensive life inside one’s personal difficult earned home. The three words are mere words and none of us might reflect on consideration on them in our busy day-to-day agenda. For us, food is to devour, garb is to wear and shelter is …

A Suboptimal Nonlinear Duty-cycle Modulation Scheme
Abstract: The DCM (duty-cycle modulation) technique is increasingly used in industrial electronics applications, including instrumentation systems, interfacing drivers and signal transmission chains. However, in existing research works related to new applications of DCM technique, the linear approximation policy is used for the sake of structural simplicity and low implementation cost, at the expends of rigorous analysis and low approximation errors. In this paper, a suboptimal nonlinear DCM scheme is developed. It …

Analysis of Existing Scenario of Sewerage Management in Gurugram and Forecasting its Future Demand
Abstract: AbstractWater, food and shelter are the basic needs of human beings but now become inaccessible resources. Due to the increasing demand for these resources, it cannot be met successfully by the conventional sources of energy. Indiscriminate rises in population imply industrialization, migration and the need for energy which leads to the environment degraded. In India, there are 113 river and vast alluvial basins to hold the groundwater. But due to …
