A Study to Assess the Behavioural Problems of Children Among Mothers Living in Nuclear and Joint Families in Selected Areas, Sri Ganganagar
Abstract: Background of the Study: The nuclear family, rather than the extended family, is more common in the developing world. Other families are frequently thousands of miles distant, and their economic links are shaky at best. In this case, the family is more of a consuming unit than a development unit, with parenting being the "single largest predictor involved in childhood sickness and deaths, underage pregnancy and drug dependence, truancy, school …

Finite Element Analysis of Steam Turbine Components for Real Life Assessment Studies of 210 MW Steam Turbine
Abstract: The turbine rotor or steam turbine rotor is subjected to temperature variations in short periods of time due to the start and stop cycles of the turbine. This causes sudden changes in the temperature with transient thermal stresses being induced into the turbine rotor. The transient effect is due to the changes in the material properties like density, specific heat and Young’s modulus. The estimate of thermal stresses induced in …

Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel: An Assessment of Technologies and Challenges
Abstract: Spent fuel discharged from nuclear reactors must necessarily be handled further, whether or not a closed fuel cycle is adopted by a nation. Thus every nuclear facility must have provisions of spent fuel storage to cool it sufficiently and to allow its radioactivity to decrease substantially before reprocessing or before its ultimate disposal. With increasing importance of nuclear power in the days to come, it will become necessary to handle …
