Comparative Cooling Analysis of EV Battery Packs using MATLAB Simscape
Abstract: Since electric vehicles (EVs) transition to high- voltage systems to enable quicker charging and enhanced delivery of power, the high heat emitted during rapid discharge is a significant challenge. This paper presents a direct comparative study of passive air cooling and active liquid cooling of a lithium-ion battery pack. Due to the high cost of constructing the physical prototypes, we created a computationally efficient and hierarchical virtual prototype in MATLAB …

Drum-Boiler Dynamics and its Water Level Control
Abstract: Boilers used for continuous steam generation on large scale. Controlling aspect in boiler process is highly difficult as the system is complex and exhibit nonlinearity, the dynamics of boiler varies with load and multivariable dependent. The main cause of instability in boiler operation is due to the integration effect in it. In addition to that, boilers are normally used where there is sudden load variation without prior knowledge. In this …

Review on Generation Sources of Electrical Power
Abstract: AbstractElectricity generation is the progression of creating electric power of bases of primary energy. Designed for utilities from the electric power industry, it is the step prior to its delivery to end operators (transmission, distribution, other) or its storage (consuming, like the pumped-storage process). Electric energy is generated via the movement of electrons, often termed "current," via a conductor, like a wire. The sum of electric energy generated be determined …

Uncertainty Prediction in Brain Tumour Segmentation
Abstract: Gliomas are one of the most common brain tumour at different levels of the province, with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) used for diagnosis. In this project, It was asked to try to find uncertainty in the Brain Tumour Segmentation on MRI images using the BraTs19 Dataset and to look at how machine learning algorithms can work with these MRI images. Since these tissues are so large in shape and appearance, …

A Model of Bidding in Rotating Saving Credit Associations
Abstract: The paper analyzes bidding behavior in discount bidding Roscas under the assumption of risk neutrality. Roscas are group based revolving financial schemes. In discount bidding Roscas, individuals bid for a lumpsum. We find that bids submitted by members in equilibrium are increasing in the returns or opportunities for investment. Further, members submit lower bids when credit is available outside Rosca at expensive rates. A bidding Rosca is efficient as an …

The Transient Performance of Power Line Towers
Abstract: This paper presents a refined approach to the transient analysis of power line towers. Each section of the tower’s steel structure is accurately modeled as a non-uniform transmission line. Among other features, an efficient representation of the towers’ cross-arms as open-ended non-uniform lines and their subsequent approximation by lumped capacitors will be explored. Furthermore, the error introduced by neglecting the presence of the cross-arms, as well as the effect of …

Efficient Conversion of Sponge Iron from Iron Ore-Coal Composite
Abstract: Today India stands as the largest producer of coal based sponge iron using calibrated ore and non-coking coal. Production of sponge iron, via the direct reduction route using rotary kilns, continues to experience significant growth in India. Direct-reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets or fines) by a reducing gas produced from natural gas or coal. …

Development and Evaluation of Neural Network Model for Incident Detection on Urban Arterials using Simulated Database
Abstract: Incident detection in urban arterial situation is more difficult than the similar job in freeway situation because of the presence of traffic signals and other intersections with associated recurrent queue. Most of the earlier automatic incident detection algorithms address mainly freeway situation. This study aims at development, calibration, validation and testing of an ANN model for incident detection in Kuala Lumpur (KL) arterials using simulated incident database. Database for the …

Musculoskeletal Disorders: History Taking, Physical Examination, Investigations and Diagnosis
Abstract: The aim of present study was to learn about the common musculoskeletal disorders. Proper history taking and thorough examination of each limb and joint systematically is the key to management of musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders generally present with pain, dysfunction and deformity. Onset of symptoms should be ascertained whether they are acute or chronic. The natural history of the problem also gives clue to diagnosis and the type of pain …

Management of Axilla in Breast Cancer: Reducing Morbidity of Axillary Dissection
Abstract: The main role of axillary dissection for breast cancer is in deciding the nature of adjuvant therapy. Its role in improving overall survival is still not proven. Lymphedema is the most dreaded morbidity of axillary dissection. While sentinel node biopsy may help reduce this considerably, this is possibly more applicable in countries that have a regular screening program and plenty of screen-detected cancers. In India, we get most patients with …

Correlation of Ki-67 Score with Nottingham Histological Grading in Carcinoma Breast: A Single Institution Experience
Abstract: Though it is reasonably well established that Ki-67 positivity is an independent predictor of ultimate prognosis and course of carcinoma breast and its recurrence, many lacunae exist. Ki -67 score correlation with histological grading will establish importance of nuclear antigen Ki-67 as prognostic factor in Indian population. This study was aimed to assess histological grading of breast carcinoma by Nottingham Grading System (Modified Scarff- Bloom- Richardson system) and to correlate …

Giant Primary Hydatid Cyst of Spleen—A Rare Clinical Entity
Abstract: Hydatid cyst (echinococcosis) is a zoonotic disease, caused by infestation of larval form of parasite of tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus (eg). Humans are infected through faeco-oral route by the ingestion of food and milk, contaminated by dog faeces containing the ova of parasite or by direct contact with dog. Liver is the commonly involved organ (57.8%) followed by the lungs (26.4%). The kidneys, spleen, brain, soft tissues of neck, appendix and …

Study-based Pharmacological Appraisal of Commiphora myrrha
Abstract: Myrrh is a highly aromatic resin exuded from the bark of various species of the Commiphora genus, such as Commiphora myrrha, Commiphora molmol, and Commiphora abyssinica. The name “Commiphora” is derived from the Greek words “kommi” and “phero” meaning “gum-bearing.” These trees are mainly found in arid regions of the Middle East and Africa. The resin is harvested by making incisions in the bark and allowing the sap to dry …
