An investigation on the evolution process of thunderstroms over a metropolis of India using DWR Max_Z products and genetic algorithm. (Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics)
(S. C., Khan F., Pal J, Goswami S., Middey A.,127,,75-93,Year : 2015)
|
Thunderstorms are well-known severe weather phenomena of the Gangetic West Bengal (GWB) region of India. The objective of the present study is to identify the ranges of Max_Z parameters of Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) associated with precipitating clouds that eventually grow into thunderstorms and to obtain a model to assess the predictability of thunderstorm and non-thunderstorm events with maximum possible accuracy during the pre-monsoon season (April–May) over the metropolis Kolkata (22.6°N; 88.4°E) enclosed within GWB (20–26°N, 85–91°E), India. The DWR imageries are analyzed to identify the stages of thunderstorm development. The survival of the fittest principle of genetic algorithm (GA) is implemented to find a suitable combination of the DWR Max_Z parameters; the reflectivity, distance of the first detected echo from Kolkata where the DWR is installed and the echo top height for the genesis of thunderstorms. The problem is posed as an optimization problem and the values of the parameters are converted into binary strings. The result reveals that the echoes with reflectivity between 44 and 48 dBZ at a distance of 250–300 km from Kolkata with echo top height between 13 and 15 km have the maximum possibility to grow into a thunderstorm. The artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed with the values of the Max_Z parameters optimized by GA as the inputs. The target of the ANN model is to forecast the type of the echo cells leading either to thunderstorm or non-thunderstorm events. The result further reveals that the ANN model with three hidden layers and one node in each layer is the most suitable model for estimating the likelihood of thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm events with mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.71/2.81. The result of the study is validated with the observation of India Meteorological Department.

Auxin Treatment of Wetland and Non-wetland Plant Species to Enhance Their Phytoremediation Efficiency to Treat Municipal Wastewater.(Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research)
(S. A Tandon, S Parsana,Vol. 74,,702-707,Year : 2015)
|
Auxin treatment of wetland and non-wetland plant species for increasing their phytoremediation efficiency to treat municipal wastewater was studied. The mesocosms were set up with gravels and polyethylene balls as the inert support media. The wetland plant species (Alternanthera philoxeroides, Eichhornia crassipes) and non-wetland species (Chrysopogon zizanioides, Festuca arundinaceae) were treated with six concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 10.0 mg/L) of natural auxins (Indole-3-acetic acid, Indole-3-butyric acid) and a synthetic auxin (1-Naphathaleneacetic acid). The optimum auxin concentration was found to be 2 mg/L of IAA, 1mg/L of IAA and 1mg/L of IBA for Alternanthera philoxeroides, Festuca arundinaceae and Chrysopogon zizanioides, respectively. The removal efficiencies of auxin treated Alternanthera philoxeroides, Festuca arundinaceae and Chrysopogon zizanioides for BOD, Nitrate and Phosphate was 12-15, 30-44 and 29-42 % more than the untreated plants.

Assessment of Tourism Impact on Land Use Land Cover and Natural Slope in Manali, India: A Geospatial Analysis(Environmental Earth Sciences)
(S. R. Wate, Vikash K. Kushwaha, Ardhendu S. Chaudhury, Kasturi Naik,Vol. 7520,,,Year : 2016)
|
Demand for tourism has increased the pressure on hill stations and is becoming a major concern for change in land use/land cover in Manali, India. A geospatial approach has been applied in the present study to assess the impact of tourism on land use/land cover and natural slope. For this, satellite images of 1989, 2000, 2005 and 2012 were used for change detection and ASTER digital elevation model was used for slope analysis. Impact of tourism in the study area was assessed through change in built-up and its sprawl on various slope classes over the years. Built-upincreased from 4.7 to 15.7 % during 1989–2012 indicating fast growing development in the area. At the same time, exponential increase in number of tourists from 1.4 to 28 lakhs from 1980 to 2011, respectively, confirms excessive pressure of tourism in the study area. Even, the number of hotels has increased over the years. Built-up is observed in gentle slope to very steep slope and increasing year by year. Since the study area is prone to landslide and an increment in built-up especially in extreme, steep and very steep slope becomes a matter of grave concern. This study suggests immediate attention of city developers and planners to achieve the long-term viability of tourism industry through sustainable developments.

Studies on the adsorption and kinetics of photodegradation of pharmaceutical compound, Indomethacin using novel photocatalytic adsorbents IPCAs(Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research)
(David Keane, Anne Morrissey, Kieran Nolan, Michael Oelgemoller, John Tobin,11302–11309,,,Year : 2010)
|
Integrated photocatalytic adsorbents (IPCAs) based on TiO2-activated carbon synthesized by an ultrasonic impregnation technique have been used for the photodegradation of indomethacin (IND) in aqueous solutions. The IPCAs in dark adsorption studies had high affinity toward IND with the amount adsorbed proportional to the TiO2 loading. The adsorption capacity increased from 0.597 to 0.657 mmol/g with increase in TiO2 content from 0.5 to 10% in IPCAs. Three adsorption models, Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips, were used to describe the adsorption isotherms while the adsorption kinetic data were fitted to pseudofirst order and pseudosecond order models. The adsorption isotherm study showed that the adsorption followed both Sips and Langmuir models with high regression coefficients (R2) and low standard error (SE) and sum of residual square error (SSE) values. The adsorption kinetic data are well represented by pseudosecond order model. The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation under UV were found to follow a Langmuir?Hinshelwood model for the various IPCAs. The adsorption rate constant (Kads) was considerably higher than the photocatalytic rate constant (kL-H), suggesting that the photocatalysis of IND is the rate-determining step during the adsorption/photocatalysis process. The proportion of TiO2 played a significant role upon the photoefficiency of the IPCAs. The photocatalytic efficiency of the 10% TiO2 IPCA remained greater than 70% after five cycles of use.

Separation of WPCBs by dissolution of brominated epoxy resins using DMSO and NMP: A comparative study(Chemical Engineering Journal)
(,280,,391-398 ,Year : 2015)
|
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) abide of valuable and hazardous materials and due to its complex and discrete make up across manufacturers, processing of waste PCBs (WPCBs) is a massive challenge. And therefore either completely novel or improved processes are needed for recycling of WPCBs and recovery of valuable materials from it. Present comparative study, was performed for processing WPCBs using solvents N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Various parameters, which include WPCB sizes; solid to liquid (S/L) ratio; temperature and time, were investigated to understand the WPCBs processing by dissolving bromine epoxy resin using solvents. Results showed that the rate of removal and separation of the bromine epoxy resin (BER) increases with respect to increasing various parameters. Optimum condition of complete separation of WPCBs using NMP were S/L ratio of 1:5, WPCB size/area of 4 mm/16 mm2 and 100 °C for 90 minutes, whereas for DMSO the optimum dissolution of bisphenol A were obtained in S/L ratio of 1:2, size/area of 6 mm/36 mm2 at 90 °C for 90 min. Overall, NMP proves to be better solvent for bromine epoxy resin than DMSO in terms of bisphenol A dissolution and separation of various layers of WPCB. Used solvents can be vaporised–condensed under the decompression for regeneration. This novel process can be an eco-friendly and effective option for separation and recovery of various valuable materials such as metals, glass fibres, etc. from WPCBs. Further research and testing is needed for precise evaluation between two processes using NMP or DMSO solvents, in terms of the valuable material recovery from WPCB and process techno-economics.

Health risks of NO2, SPM and SO2 in Delhi (India)(Atmospheric Environment)
(,,,39,Year : 2005)
|
There is increasingly growing evidence linking urban air pollution to acute and chronic illnesses amongst all age groups. Therefore, monitoring of ambient concentrations of various air pollutants as well as quantification of the dose inhaled es quite important, specially in view of the fact that in many countries, policy decisions for reducing pollutant concentrations are mainly taken on the basis of their health impacts. The dose when gets combined with the likely responses, indicates the ultimate health risk (HR). Thus, as an extension of our earlier studies, HR has been estimated for three pollutants, namely, suspended particulate matter (SPM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) for Delhi City in India. For estimation and analyses, three zones have been considered, namely, residential, industrial and commercial. The total population has been divided into three age classes (infants, children and adults) with different body weights and breathing rates. The exercise takes into account age-specific breathing rates, body weights for different age categories and occupancy factors for different zones. Results indicate that health risks due to air pollution in Delhi are highest for children. For all age categories, health risks due to SO2 (HR_SO2) are the lowest. Hence, HR_SO2 has been taken as the reference with respect to which HR values due to SPM and NO2 have been compared. Taking into account all the age categories and their occupancy in different zones, average HR values for NO2 and SPM turn out to be respectively 22.11 and 16.13 times more than that for SO2. The present study can be useful in generating public awareness as well as in averting and mitigating the health risks.

The Physico-chemical analysis of ground water samples from eight hand pumps in 3 tehsil, 2 crop field and 3 village place of the Umaria district under Vindhya Pradesh, M.P. India results indicated that during the seasons (rainy, winter and summer). The samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, turbidity, DO, BOD, COD, nitrate, nitrite, chloride, sulphate, phosphate and heavy metals. The ground water samples from all the location in the Umaria District are found to be within the prescribed limits as physico-chemical characteristics are concerned except sulphates concentration. The content of Cd and Cu in the analyzed water samples were below the permissible limit set by BIS (1992) as 1.5 and 0.01 mg L-1 The mean values of each parameters together with its standard deviation (SD) and coefficient variation (CV) were calculated. The present study deals with the various relationship derived statistically by calculation 'r' and 't' among the physico-chemical parameters.
