Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
Get PDFThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
A Unified Shell model for Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
No full textWe construct a unified shell model for stably stratified and convective turbulence. Shell model simulation of stably stratified flow in turbulent regime exhibit Bolgiano-Obukhbov (BO) scaling in which the kinetic energy spectrum varies as . However, simulation of convective turbulence shows Kolmogorov's spectrum. These results are consistent with the direct numerical simulations of Kumar {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 90}, 023016 (2014)]. We also observe a dual scaling ( and ) for a limited range of parameters in stably stratified flow

Design and Analysis of Upright for Formula Vehicle
No full textUpright is modified version of knuckle. It is one of the most critical components in an automotive. Upright is the part that is connected with suspension arms, the hub brake caliper mounting and also the steering tie rod in formula vehicle. For Formula vehicle the goal is to design a light weight, yet sufficiently strong upright. All the loads reacted by the wheels are transmitted to the chassis through the 'A' arms indirectly from the upright. Generally the nature of the loads is bending. Different materials are used for manufacturing upright components like Aluminum alloys Al 7075 T6 for light weight applications, Al alloy 6061 T6 for moderate weight and moderate cost or steel in case of low cost application. First the upright is design in solid work with respect to the suspension mounting points. The model is meshed using ANSYS and analyzed based on the loads calculated using analytical method using formulae for various manures possible. Previously manufactured upright of Al alloy 6061 T6 had weight of 2 kg. In this project, the upright is designed with Al 7075 T6, reducing the weight to 1.17 kg and also sustaining the loads better than the previous design. Dr. B. Vijaya Kumar | B.

Diamond Dosimeter for the Measurement of the Proton Beam Impact Position on a Neutron Spallation Target
No full textIn close proximity to the spallation neutron source of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN, diamond dosimeters were installed to characterise the fast neutron beam. The intensity of the 20 GeV/c proton beam from CERNs Proton Synchrotron (PS) is monitored with a beam current transformer (BCT) installed in the PS extraction line to n_TOF. The proton beam position is measured using a SEM grid 3 m before the spallation target. A linear correlation between the horizontal proton beam impact position
on the Pb-target and the measured dose of the secondary radiation at the measurement station for each pulse is observed.
While the proton beam impact position varies by
22 mm, the normalised dose varies by 17 %. The linearity of
the diamond dosimeter and the correlation of proton beam
position and detector response are presented
