Thermally Stimulated Luminescence and Electron Spin Resonance Study of Gamma Irradiated Poly Carbonate
Abstract: Polycarbonate (PC) is an industrially important polymer. Gamma irradiation effects of PC are investigated by thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques. The TSL spectra of irradiated PC have shown two glow peaks, around 149oC (422 K) and 165oC (438 K). The observed glow peaks are analysed by initial rise methods, Chen’s method and modified initial rise method. The trap parameters corresponding to the two glow peaks …

CuO/TiO2 Nanocomposites: Effect of Calcination on Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production
Abstract: Hydrothermally synthesized TiO2 nanorods were subjected to calcination from 350 to 550 °C and tested their catalytic performance for hydrogen (H2) production in aqueous glycerol solution under solar irradiation. High rate of H2 evolution ca.300 µmol.h−1.g−1cat was recorded with TiO2 nanorods calcined at 500 °C. The nanocomposites were prepared by varying Cu-loading 0.1 to 2.0 wt% and activated at 350 or 500 °C. About 25 folds enhancement in H2 production …

Driver Alertness Detection Using Data Correlation
Abstract: AbstractThe number of accidents taking place across the globe is increasing at a fast pace and it's astonishing that around 20% accidents occur due to driver’s fatigue or due to lack of alertness. Non-alertness reduces reaction time and concentration, impairing the ability to execute decision making as well as attention-based activities. Being an aware and responsible citizen, it becomes essential to assure the driver’s vigilance and safety of passengers, co-passengers. …
