Knowledge Management in Research and Development Projects: Mapping intellectual Assets for Innovation in Manufacturing
Innovation is the key driver of competitive advantage in a knowledge economy. In the manufacturing industry, a major portion of innovation emerges from research and development (R&D) projects. These projects require ... -
Lab Experiment Documenting Growth of Microbes in an Extreme Condition
Bacterial population during 3.2 billion years of early earth was responsible for modifying the greenhouse gas concentration in the early earth. Here we studied the primitive facultative anaerobe E.coli K12, known to contain ... -
Laminar buoyancy - induced flows and transport processes in stratified media
Buoyancy?induced flows in a density?stratified environment occur in a wide variety of engineering systems and in nature. Some of these are crystal growth processes, solar ponds, deep ocean power modules, environmental ... -

Laser-based Diagnostics and Numerical Simulations of Syngas Combustion in a Trapped Vortex Combustor
(2017-11-16)Syngas consisting mainly of a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other diluents, is an important fuel for power generation applications since it can be obtained from both biomass and coal gasification. Clean coal ... -
Late Cenozoic climate reconstruction from the Northern Indian Ocean using foraminiferal clumped isotope thermometry and stable isotope technique
The Late Cenozoic era (23.03 million years ago to the present) offers a critical time window to examine the role of greenhouse gases, notably CO2 (ranging between 910 ppm and 180 ppm), in the operation of Earth's system ... -
Lattice Boltzmann Relaxation Scheme for Compressible Flows
(2018-03-09)Lattice Boltzmann Method has been quite successful for incompressible flows. Its extension for compressible (especially supersonic and hypersonic) flows has attracted lot of attention in recent time. There have been ... -
Lattice Boltzmann Relaxation Schemes for High Speed Flows
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has emerged as a highly efficient model for the simulation of incompressible flows in the last few decades. Its extension to compressible flows is hindered by the fact that the ... -
