Scaling Characteristics Of Tropical Rainfall
(2016-11-15)
We study the space-time characteristics of global tropical rainfall. The data used is from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and spans the years 2000-2009. Using anomaly fields constructed by removing a single ...
Modeling of Solar Radiation Management : A Comparison of Simulations using Reduced Solar Constant and Stratospheric Aerosols
(2017-11-22)
The climatic effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering have been often modeled by simply reducing the solar constant. This is most likely valid only for space sunshades and not for atmosphere and surface ...
Fine-Scale Structure Of The Diurnal Cycle Of Global Tropical Rainfall
(2016-11-16)
The fine-scale structure of global (30N-30S) tropical rainfall is characterised using 13 years (1998-2010) of 3-hourly and daily, 0.25-degree Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 rainfall product. At the outset, ...
Algal Bioprocess Development for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment and Biofuel Production
(2017-11-24)
Rapid urbanization has led to the generation of enormous wastewater after independence. The domestic wastewater generated in municipalities is rich in nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus along with other ions. ...
Understanding Knowledge Needs And Processes In Design
(2011-01-31)
In this knowledge economy, organizations are leveraging their competence through the knowledge they possess. Managing knowledge will potentially retain the competence held by the organization if knowledge generated across ...
Integrability Evaluation Methodology for Building Integrated Photovoltaic's (BIPV) : A Study in Indian Climatic Conditions
(2018-01-02)
India’s geographical location renders it with ample solar-energy potential ranging from 4-7 kWh/m2 daily and 2,300–3,200 sunshine hours annually. The diverse nature of human settlements (scattered low-rise to dense high-rise) ...
Granular Media Supported Microbial Remediation of Nitrate Contaminated Drinking Water
(2018-01-11)
Increasing nitrate concentration in ground water from improper disposal of sewage and excessive use of fertilizers is deleterious to human health as ingestion of nitrate contaminated water can cause methaemoglobinemia in ...
Autoflocculating Mixotrophic Algal Consortia Approach to Sustainable Wastewater Treatement
(2017-10-26)
The phenomenon of rapid algal blooms in response to nutrient overloads has been adapted to treat synthetic domestic wastewater. Various algal consortia collected from several eutrophied water bodies were subject to high ...
Seismic Microzonation Of Lucknow Based On Region Specific GMPE's And Geotechnical Field Studies
(2016-09-09)
Mankind is facing the problem due to earthquake hazard since prehistoric times. Many of the developed and developing countries are under constant threats from earthquakes hazards. Theories of plate tectonics and engineering ...
Stochastic Modelling of Vehicle-Structure Interactions : Dynamic State And Parameter Estimation, And Global Response Sensitivity Analysis
(2017-10-31)
The analysis of vehicle-structure interaction systems plays a significant role in the design and maintenance of bridges. In recent years, the assessment of the health of existing bridges and the design of new ones has ...
