No full textSurface assembly of nano-metalorganic framework on amine functionalized indium tin oxide substrate for impedimetric sensing of parathion
No full textThe present paper reports the assembly and pesticide sensing application of a nanometal organic framework [Cd(atc)(H2O)2]n (‘atc’=2-aminoterephthalic acid). The assembly of the NMOF film has been achieved by sequential dipping of a 2-aminobenzylamine (2-ABA) modified indium tin oxide (ITO) slide in organic linker ‘atc’ and metal ion ‘Cd2+’ solutions. The different structural and morphological characteristics of the NMOF thin film have been characterized. The availability of pendent –COOH functional groups on the assembled NMOF film is exploited to synthesize a pesticide immunosensor by conjugating the NMOF film with anti-parathion antibody. This immunosensor has been explored for the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) based analysis of parathion in the concentration range of 0.1–20 ng/mL. The proposed detection is specific with respect to other organophosphate compounds, e.g. malathion, paraoxon, fenitrothion, monochrotophos and dichlorovos. The proposed sensor shows the detection limit of 0.1 ng/mL and it is applicable for analysis of parathion in a rice sample. The sensor's performance is validated by comparting the obtained results with gas chromatographic data.Authors gratefully acknowledge the financial grant from CSIR India through project OMEGA/PSC0202/2.2.5.

No full textAbstract: Today most of the people depend on electronic devices or handheld devices. With rapid changes in hardware and software, it affects cost, size, complexity and features of system. Due to increase complexity, faults and failures also increase/decrease in a same manner. Various disaster and the accidents are the examples of failure software. Author focus on the causes of failure and try to build chain models for various error, fault and failure. Software reliability are used for different purposes: system reliability estimation during development, decision making, maintenance recommendation and proposed for new version. In this paper, author tried to collect all the information related to failure of the software and establish the various chain models
The micro-environmental impact of volatile organic compound emissions from large-scale assemblies of people in a confined space
No full textLarge-scale assemblies of people in a confined space can exert significant impacts on the local air chemistry due to human emissions of volatile organics. Variations of air-quality in such small scale can be studied by quantifying fingerprint volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acetone, toluene, and isoprene produced during concerts, movie screenings, and sport events (like the Olympics and the World Cup). This review summarizes the extent of VOC accumulation resulting from a large population in a confined area or in a small open area during sporting and other recreational activities. Apart from VOCs emitted directly from human bodies (e.g., perspiration and exhaled breath), those released indirectly from other related sources (e.g., smoking, waste disposal, discharge of food-waste, and use of personal-care products) are also discussed. Although direct and indirect emissions of VOCs from human may constitute ��1% of the global atmospheric VOCs budget, unique spatiotemporal variations in VOCs species within a confined space can have unforeseen impacts on the local atmosphere to lead to acute human exposure to harmful pollutants.

A Down Draft Gasifier of Biomass Gasification
No full textGreat environmental concern is expressed over the release of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are burnt, carbon from fuels reacts with oxygen from air and produce CO2. This is the reason for steady increasing CO2 content of atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to 50% of green house effect. There is a need to balance the increasing demands for the electricity while simultaneously avoiding the adverse impacts on the environment. Nowadays, other field of research is the production of hydrogen as a fuel from the gasification process of different types of biomass.it is the simplest and economical process to produce thermal energy.

No full textModel-Dependent High-Energy Neutrino Flux from Gamma-Ray Bursts
No full textThe IceCube Collaboration recently reported a stringent upper limit on the high energy neutrino flux from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which provides a meaningful constraint on the standard internal shock model. Recent broadband electromagnetic observations of GRBs also challenge the internal shock paradigm for GRBs, and some competing models for gamma-ray prompt emission have been proposed. We describe a general scheme for calculating the GRB neutrino flux, and compare the predicted neutrino flux levels for different models. We point out that the current neutrino flux upper limit starts to constrain the standard internal shock model. The dissipative photosphere models are also challenged if the cosmic ray luminosity from GRBs is at least 10 times larger than the gamma-ray luminosity. If the neutrino flux upper limit continues to go down in the next few years, then it would suggest the following possibilities: (i) the photon-to-proton luminosity ratio in GRBs is anomalously high for shocks, which may be achieved in some dissipative photosphere models and magnetic dissipation models; or (ii) the GRB emission site is at a larger radius than the internal shock radius, as expected in some magnetic dissipation models such as the internal collision-induced magnetic reconnection and turbulence model.
