THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF ADVANCED PARABOLIC RECEIVER FOR DIRECT STEAM GENERATION
Abstract: Solar thermal power generation using water as a Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) has gained interest recently, due to its ability to generate steam directly from the receiver tube. In this paper, a new theoretical model of receiver called Concentric Parabolic Trough Receiver (C-PTR) for direct steam generation is presented. The proposed model consists of Phase change material (PCM) sandwiched between two concentric cylindrical tubes. Binary Solar Salt commercially known as …

Comparison of Existing Experimental Results with Different Types of Simulation Software for Transmission Loss Estimation of Muffler
Abstract: Acoustic Muffler’s characteristics are calculated by Transmission Loss and Insertion Loss. Single expansion chamber is generally used as noise reduction elements in exhaust systems. To quantify its effectiveness, transmission loss is commonly used as a parameter comparing the transmitted with incident sound pressure level. Mufflers are typically arranged along the exhaust pipe as the part of the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine to reduce its noise. Tao and …

A Chronological Review on Preclinical and Clinical Evaluation of Antimicrobial Sutures
Abstract: Incidence of various infections is increasing with increased number of surgeries. Widespread common surgery procedures are associated with a 1–11% risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) which occur when pathogenic organisms proliferate in surgical wounds, result in impede wound healing, cause separation of the wound edges (dehiscence), and increase the risk of abscess in deeper wound tissues. Surgical site infection increases morbidity and mortality of postoperative patients and require prolonged …

3D-QSAR Studies, Molecular Docking and Adme Property Prediction of Mannosyl Triazoles Used as Potent Antiadhesives of Uropathogenic E. coli
Abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases, accounting for almost five million cases annually and causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Escherichia coli is a commensal inhabitant of the mammalian large intestine and the most common cause of UTIs in humans. Increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant E. coli causing up to 95% of these infections, calls for additional therapeutic considerations. In this study, 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis …
