• Microbially-induced Mineral Flocculation and Flotation with Proteins and Polysaccharides Isolated from Paenibacillus 

  Patra, Paratha

  The most significant environmental issue that has arisen in the mining industries over the last decade is that of acid mine drainage (AMD) from tailing dumps and waste mined rock piles. AMD is caused by the oxidation of ...

• Structural acoustics of perforated panels 

  Anoop, A M

  In this work, radiation and transmission of sound through flexible perforated panels set in infinite rigid baffles are investigated. The treatment is largely analytical using Fourier transforms and contour integrations. ...

• Dynamics of Laminar Separation Bubbles on Low Reynolds Number Airfoils 

  Mitra, Abhijit

  This is a detailed study on the aerodynamics of low Reynolds number airfoils. E387 airfoil that comes under the category of trailing-edge stall is used extensively in this study. The reduction in lift due to low Reynolds ...

• Extremes of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall and Equatorial Indian Ocean Oscillation 

  Francis, P A

  Our studies suggest that the equatorial Indian Ocean Oscillation, which is the atmospheric component of Indian Ocean Dipole, is as important as El Nino and Southern Oscillation for the interannual variation of Indian Summer ...

• Bay of Bengal Freshwater in the tropical Indian Ocean 

  Bharathraj, G N

  The annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is more than half the runoff into the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The net freshwater (FW) content in the Bay of Bengal mixed layer increases from a minimum ...

• Pseudo-binary and Pseudo-ternary diffusion couple methods for understanding the growth of interdiffusion zone between bond coat and superalloys 

  Esakkiraja, N

  Ni-based superalloys are widely used in jet engine applications. Bond coats are applied to these alloys for protection during service in a very harsh environment at high operating temperature. The addition of Pt to the ...
