Damage Potential of Extreme Wind Events– Downburst and Tornado
Abstract: Thunderstorms have always impressed humans and cumulonimbus cloud is one of the most visually striking and photogenic natural phenomena. Unfortunately, the thunderstorms are associated with hazardous weather. Severe thunderstorms are responsible for large amount of wind induced damage around the globe. Unlike large and continental cyclones, severe local storms intensify very rapidly and dissipate after causing damage. Lightning causes many fires around the world each year and leads to severe …

Enzymatic Transesterification using Immobilized Lipase in Production of Biodiesel from Nannochloropsis Oculata
Abstract: The microalgae have higher photosynthetic efficiency, higher biomass production and faster growth compared to other energy crops. The growth of Nannochloropsis oculata was enhanced in 300mg/l of nitrogen concentration and the optimum temperature for growth is 25â—¦C. 38% of microalgal oil was extracted and then converted to biodiesel by enzymatic transesterification using an immobilized lipase (triacyl glycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3). In this study, expensive to produce biodiesel because of the …

Health Status of Sewage Workers in Delhi
Abstract: Sewage contains numerous toxic substances which include poisonous gases and infective agents. As a consequence of this, sewer workers often suffer from a constellation of symptoms known as the sewer worker’s syndrome. Very limited data on the occupational health and safety status of sewage workers is available in India. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Delhi involving 200 sewage workers and their health profile was studied using standard procedures. It …

Extraction of Retinal Features in Fundus Images for Glaucoma Diagnosis
Abstract: Glaucoma is a major cause for blindness, identified early by the structural changes of optic nerve head in the retina. Retinal image analysis is emerging as an important screening tool for prior detection of eye diseases. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss and it is considered as second leading cause for blindness worldwide. In this research work, …

Public Auditing Based Detection of Packet Dropping Attacks in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Abstract: Wireless ad hoc networks are vulnerable to packet dropping attacks. However, they are also subjected to packet dropping due to link errors. In case of multi-hop wireless networks, it is essential to differentiate packet dropping due to link error or malicious attack. When any mechanism is able to differentiate this, can provide high level of security to the network with respect to packet dropping attacks. Many solutions came into existence …

E-Waste and Bio-Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Gold: A Review
Abstract: Current recycling and processing of e-waste are managed almost entirely by the informal sector or the unskilled labour in India. These amounts are about 95%. They adopt crude recycling activities. These cause irreversible health and environmental hazards. Also the loss of valuable materials results.This is due to the poor recovery of base and precious metals. Recycling done by the unskilled labour has been disclosed and an alternative recycling strategy which …
