Heat transfer of permeable discs rotating in a magnetic field
No full textPrint OnlyAn electrically conducting Newtonian fluid is squeezed between two parallel infinite axisymmetric discs placed in an orthogonal magnetic field. Both discs are permeable. The upper disc is allowed to rotate in its own plane while moving freely along the z-axis. The lower disc is fixed with respect to the z-axis, but is allowed to rotate within its own plane. This paper addresses two cases, the first where each disc is set at a constant uniform temperature, the temperature of the upper disc being higher than the temperature of the lower disc. Using a similarity solation for small Reynolds numbers, analytical and numerical solutions are derived through which the effects of the permeability on the temperature and heat transfer profiles of the fluid film are studied. In the first case, the heat transfer profile is affected by the disc permeability up to the limiting where the discs rotate at the same speed. The temperature profile however is unaffected. In the second case considered, the lower disc is subjected to a heat flux whilst keeping the upper disc at a uniform constant temperature. In the second case, analytical and numerical solutions show that although the temperature and heat transfer profiles are influenced by the temperature ratio of the disc, they however remain unaffected by disc rotation and disc permeability.Rosemarie Mohais and Balswaroop Bhat

How does permeability affect the heat transfer profile of fluid flow within a partially permeable channel with an accelerating surface velocity?
No full textA grid based infrastructure for environmental applications
No full textEnvironmental monitoring data should be transformed, by scientific analysis, into assessments of current ecosystem condition and in evolution trends in time and space. The local, regional and global scales scientific data analysis, involves information mining from several data sources, i.e. multispectral satellite remote sensing data, urban environmental monitoring stations and oceanic or coastal buoys. The huge data amount to process, the complexity of the environmental models adopted and the necessary distributed collaboration between scientists and government agencies, require specific cyberinfrastructures.
In this paper we present a Web Grid Portal prototype for environmental data processing, that aspires to provide distributed powerful computational resources able to process and to manage immense data set by a friendly graphical interface. Portal users can access to environmental data collected by different sources, process data using distributed computing resources and web applications or upload specific data processing applications
Plane viscous flows in a porous medium.
No full textThe methods employed by Martin [1971] and Chandna et al. [1982] to steady plane flows have
been applied to the plane viscous flows in a porous medium using the Darcy - Brinkman -
Lapwood equation. Various flows and corresponding geometries have been investigated
Topology-aware distributed graph processing for tightly-coupled clusters
No full textCloud applications have burgeoned over the last few years, but they are typically written for loosely-coupled clusters such as datacenters. In this thesis we investigate how one can run cloud applications in tightly-coupled clusters and network topologies, namely super-computers. Specifically, we look at a class of distributed machine learning systems called distributed graph processing systems, and run them on NCSA Blue Waters. Partitioning the graph is key to achieving performance in distributed graph processing systems. We present new topology-aware partitioning techniques that better exploit the structure of the network topologies in supercomputers. Compared to existing work, our new Restricted Oblivious and Grid Centroid partitioning approaches produce 25-33% improvement in makespan, along with a sizable reduction in network traffic. We also discuss optimizations such as smart network buffers that further amplify the improvement. To help operators select the best graph partitioning technique, we culminate our experimental results into a decision tree.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Mayank Bhatt, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-23 at 17:13.The student, Mayank Bhatt, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-23 at 17:20.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-24 at 15:21.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12435 on 2018-08-31 at 17:21:19Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:36:52Z (GMT).

The Dementia Dilemma in India: Addressing the Care Challenges with a Layered Interventional Model (LIM)
No full textThis project presents a literature review focused on the growing public health challenge of dementia in India. With the aging population increasing rapidly, the burden of dementia-related care is expected to intensify in coming decades. The review examines existing research, health system gaps, and sociocultural challenges related to dementia care across urban and rural settings.
The core contribution of this work is a proposed layered interventional model designed to strengthen dementia care through a combination of community-based services, caregiver support, primary health integration, and policy-level reforms.
The goal of this project is to:
Highlight critical gaps in dementia care infrastructure and awareness
Synthesize research on existing care models and interventions
Propose a strategic, layered approach to improve dementia outcomes in India.
