The Accumulation of Heavy Metals in Leaves of Woody and Vegetable Plants
Full text linkIt is shown that the improvement of the environment can be achieved by using the adsorption properties of leaves of woody plants, which are able to absorb the exhaust gases from vehicles, industrial plants, dust and vapors from air. The number of toxic influence of heavy metals on vegetable plants was established with good indicative properties: Cd > Ni >Pb. Accumulation of heavy metals, leaves of the juniper have any symptoms of poisoning, inhibition of root growth, formation of necrosis, dwarfism, wilting, dropping foliage, etc, especially in leaves exposed to cadmium. Different kinds of heavy metals have their own specifics, which defining the maximum level of exposure in the investigated samples. Virtually all heavy metal compounds are toxic and have carcinogenic effect.It should be noted that the main source of it are the smokestacks of factories, the industrial enterprises and exhaust gases from vehicles. If there is an excess of heavy metals, occur symptoms on plants - growth noticeably slows, getting a dwarf form.Thus, on the basis of obtained date, we get conclusion, that the accumulation of heavy metals by leaves of woody plants, in our casejuniper and oak, is due to the passage of the adsorption process of toxic metals contained in the air basin
Design of Reliable Body Channel Communication Transceiver with Spread Spectrum Clock Generator and PNR Generator
Full text linkIn this work, the communication of a channel in the human body has a characteristic (time-domain) which can be measured at various distances in transmission and various frequencies of a signal by the printed circuit board-an analog frontend board (PCB-AFE) support. Besides, for the wideband signal of Body Channel Communication (BCC), a human body skin acts within a range of 1 Mb/s to 40 Mb/s as the transmission medium. This communication is more stable and attenuating low power while comparing with all another transmission medium in wireless. Moreover, due to the motion of a human body, this communication doesn't get affected. Though, the body antenna gives effects in the communication of a channel of the human body by occurs some interference. The Manchester data acts as encoder and decoder in transmitter and receiver parts respectively, in an AFE-PCB the Manchester encoder data is amplified after receiving the data from end to end channel of a human body. The data quality is improved by 7X sampler in clock data recovery (CDR) circuit. Therefore, the proposed design of reliable BCC Transceiver with SSCG and PNR Generator is processed in XilinxISE14.5, ModelSim Simulator 6.5a (Quartus II 8.1), and Micro wind software tools. It is also implemented in a XilinxXC9572XL kit. The power consumption and delay is reduced up to 90%, speed is increased up to 50% and leakage current is reduced up to 80% in the transmitter part
Conceptual Design of Low Altitude Unmanned Small Hybrid Airship
Full text linkIn the last two decades, popularity of Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) are at their peaks. Their capacities and abilities are advancing day by day in parallel with development of science and technology. They are doing almost everything what conventional aircrafts are doing except passenger transfer, for now. Despite an UAS can be controlled from thousands of miles away, they are still limited in range and endurance because of their energy storage capacities. Most of the energy sources of an aircraft is used against to gravitational force. However, Lighter Than Air(LTA) gases like helium, hydrogen etc. provides an option to aircrafts using lifting capacity of these gases and combination of lifting capacity of LTA gases and mechanical forces produced by engines allows engineers to create hybrid airships. Hybrid Airships gains flight altitude by using static lifting force of lighter than air gases in addition of the mechanical force which is produced by the propulsion system of the vehicle. Engines makes necessary maneuver with direction units to control the airship in all directions. Static lift from the LTA gases provide additional payload capacity to vehicle without consuming energy. Therefore, unlike the conventional aircrafts, hybrid airship has more flight duration than the others and more payload capacity. Aim of this work is, developing a low-cost small hybrid airship by using static lift force of the lighter than air gases and present to advantages of hybrid aircrafts
Study on Emotional Improvement and Health Promotion of Senior Citizens Participating in Virtual Reality Games
Full text linkIn addition to medical care and health promotion, happiness, care and thoughtfulness associated with medical assistance are among the expectations and demands of the elderly society. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of health promotion and emotional improvement on elderly people by understanding the behavioral intentions of elderly people with various personality traits in participating in virtual reality games. In this study, we used a questionnaire on five personality traits, including extraversion (Extraversion), friendliness (Agreeableness), diligence and integrity (Conscientiousness), and psychosomatic (Neurotic), which was designed by the scholar Martinez and John (1998) in 1998 as a tool to improve the mental health of the elderly.
This study validates that sensorial perception is an important influencing factor in the theoretical model of the behavioral intention of the elderly using virtual reality (VR) wearable devices. That is, the stronger the behavioral intention of the elderly when using VR high-tech products, the more frequent the use will be, and the more significant the improvement of the emotional effect. It is suggested that future research could develop a game plan suitable for the elderly with different characteristics
Design of a Steam Condensate Pumping System
Full text linkThe project work considers design of a pumping system for steam condensate operating at a pressure of 4 bar. The pumping system is designed to transfer steam condensate (saturated liquid) operating at 143.6 Degree celsius between two storage tanks. Developing pumping systems for critical process systems require special attention. Critical process system is one wherein failure of the system due to incorrect equipment selection or incorrect operation can have a huge impact on safety and/or have a huge environmental impact. Developing such process critical systems require the use of engineering standards and application of process safety management systems. In this project, steam condensate is operating at high temperature and therefore failure of the either material or equipment could pose a serious threat to the environment and/or mankind. In this project, emphasis is given to system development and the various steps in determining the pump specifications. The importance of net positive suction head (NPSH) calculations are considered in the analysis. DuPont process safety management (PSM) engineering standards are employed in selecting the appropriate materials. An excel model is developed to simulate the required head for various flow rates, pipe dimensions and tank pressures. The model can be used to develop system curve and pump curve can be superimposed on the system curve to choose the right pump for the given application
Competence-Oriented Task as Means of Quality Improvement of Mathematical Education
Full text linkIntegration of Kazakhstan into the world educational space makes it necessary to align with the requirements of the state and society to orient the education of the younger generation on the development of competencies that promote the concept of "education through life". Significant changes in the priorities in school education in the world in recent years require a reorientation to a competence approach, continuous self-education, mastering new information technologies, the ability to cooperate and work in groups.
The purpose of our research is to improve the quality of school mathematics education with the help of competence-oriented assignments.
For the analysis of the analyzed targets, the analysis of the native and chemical methapods is analyzed; the systematic analysis of the mathematical encounters and the reconstruction of the infectious information with the help of hypotheses and analgesia, comparison and hypnotism, analysis and synthesis, modeling and mental ex- periment; Diagnostic methods with the goal of designing the formation of coarse mnogoapektnyh central design of the person; the isolation of the criteria for the design of a diagonal quality - a system of colors that characterize the structure of the complex of personalities in the world; methods of observation, caution, a systematic analysis of the results.
When solving competency-oriented tasks, students are able to use and notice the general in the private, to reveal the significance of established facts and patterns, to form and develop the basic mental operations.
The methods for solving competence-oriented tasks should not only promote the development of skills and skills that meet the program requirements, but also the development of creative cognitive activities. These include tasks that familiarize schoolchildren with non-standard methods of reasoning, but do not require the extension of the curriculum material.
The nature of the representation of competence-oriented tasks takes into account the psychological characteristics of students' perception of information. In particular, it is desirable that the conditions of the problems allow rather simple graphic or "subject" illustrations.
In conclusion, we note that competence-oriented tasks should include entertaining tasks that are diverse in terms of the story, in the formulation of questions, in the methods of solutions. It is desirable to include in the system tasks, the solution of which is divided in time and whose purpose is the development of certain skills and abilities, the consolidation of methods of reasoning, methods of solving problems, the development of spatial representations, the formation and development of mental operations, such as: analysis, synthesis, comparison, classification, etc
Effect of Calcination Temperature on Hydrogen Production via Ethanol Dry Reforming Over Ni/Al2O3 Catalyst
Full text linkNi/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by the wet-impregnation method and calcined at different temperatures (500°C, 600°C and 700°C) to obtain NiAl-1, NiAl-2 and NiAl-3 respectively. NiAl-1, NiAl-2, NiAl-3 represent catalysts calcined at 500°C, 600°C and 700°C respectively. The catalysts were characterized using different techniques, XRD, BET and TGA. XRD results revealed the presence of NiO phase on all the catalysts during calcination, however, the presence of spinel, NiAl2O4, was more pronounced on the catalyst calcined at 600°C (i.e. NiAl-2), indicating the existence of strong metal-support interaction. BET results showed that NiAl-1 has the highest surface area of about 190cm2/g. All the catalysts were tested for ethanol dry reforming in a tubular stainless steel fixed-bed reactor at 700°C and CO2/ethanol ratio of 3 under atmospheric pressure and were evaluated in terms of reactants conversion and selectivity of H2 to see the effect of the different calcination temperatures on the catalysts’ activities. Ethanol conversion was 100% for all the three catalysts and NiAl-2 has the highest CO2 conversion with an average value of about 57%. The three catalysts have almost the same performance in terms of H2 selectivity. The presence of multi-walled carbon nanofibers (MWCNFs) were confirmed on all the catalysts as revealed by the TGA result. The catalyst calcined at 600°C (i.e. NiAl-2) displayed the best relative catalytic activit
Analysis of Ayyanarthu Wind Farm with and without Battery Energy Storage System
Full text linkThis paper deals with the battery energy storage system is used in Ayyanarthu wind farm which analysing the variation in electrical parameters like voltage level, per unit value and power value should not vary even the battery energy storage system is applied in the windfarm and battery integrated with the windfarm can reduce the variability especially under the peak load conditions and also reduce the power quality problems, it can analyse through the simulation. DigSilent power factory tool software is used to design and analysis the windfarm the real data in windfarm for 24 hours. Battery energy storage system (BESS) is used to store the excess power because the wind is not constant, it will vary with time and natural climatic changes so that can store the power when the generation is high and the stored power can used when the power demand is high because now a days the population is high so the consumption of power is increasing and inject the surplus power to grid. This paper also highlights the need of storing power in order to strengthen the power and voltage levels. BESS further helps main three challenges i.e. smoothing the voltage levels, capacity firming and time shifting thus the battery energy storage system regulates the active power in a modern day grid
Algebraic Verification Algorithm
Full text linkAuthentication over insecure public networks or with untrusted servers raises more concerns in privacy and security.Modern algebra is one of the significantfields of mathematics. It is a combination of techniques used for a variety of applications including the process of the manipulation of the mathematical categories. In addition,modern algebra deals in depth with the study of abstractions such as groups, rings and fields,the main objective of this article is to provide a novel algebraic verification protocol using ring theory. The protocol is blind, meaning that it detects only the identity, and no additional information will be known anything about the prover (the biometric) to the authenticating server or vice-versa. More officially a blind authentication scheme is a cryptographic protocol that comprises of two parties, a user (the prover) that wants to achieve having signs on her messages, and a signer (the verifier) that is in ownership of his secret signing key. In this paper, we employ the algebraic structure called central Armendariz rings to design a neoteric algorithm for zero knowledge proof. The proposed protocol is established and illustrated through numerical example, and its soundness and completeness are proved.This method gave two important properties for the central Armendariz zero knowledge protocol compared with other known protocols
