Similarities between 2D and 3D convection for large Prandtl number
No full textUsing direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC), we perform a comparative study of the spectra and fluxes of energy and entropy for large and infinite Prandtl numbers in two (2D) and three (3D) dimensions. We observe close similarities between the 2D and 3D RBC, in particular the kinetic energy spectrum , and the entropy spectrum exhibits a dual branch with a dominant spectrum. We showed that the dominant Fourier modes in the 2D and 3D flows are very close
Evaluation and analysis of impact of subsidies on small scale renewable energy technologies dissemination: a case study of Nepal
No full textThe report has analysed the status of rural electrification using renewable energy technologies (RETs) and the current subsidy delivery modality of RETs in Nepal. As the Government of Nepal is subsidizing small scale renewable energy projects, it is important to evaluate and analyse the programme to make sure that a programme is running in an effective and efficient way while reaching the target group.
During the course of the research, primary information collected from the field has been compiled using appropriate tools/software (such as MS Office) and analyzed. Different sets of questionnaires were prepared, targeting different personnel ranging from the users’ level to the government policy level. The field survey methods include field observations of RETs installations and operations along with interviews with selected users on a random sampling basis to identify barriers to subsidy delivery and possible measures to overcome these barriers; to determine user satisfaction level and time period for subsidy delivery mechanisms.
The report started with the country background information and the rationale behind the study. This is followed by the literature review and information on the current status of small scale RETs in the country. Next it deals with the organizational structure and current subsidy delivery modality of RETs in the country. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the subsidy with the current subsidy delivery modality has been analyzed based on six parameters; Targets and Achievements, Impact of RETs, Subsidy Delivery System Efficiency, Transparency, Sustainability and Effectiveness.
The research shows that the subsidized government program has been successful in achieving its goal to provide basic energy services in rural areas through RETs in terms of its quantitative target. Although the subsidized program is successful in electrifying the rural communities via RETs, the poorest of the poor families are still excluded from the subsidy. The program seems to benefit more the rich and upper middle class families rather than the poor families for which the subsidy was intended. The high capital cost and long subsidy delivery process are the main important reasons for this failure. The author has proposed a new modality which might overcome the time barriers and bureaucratic process in the subsidy delivery mechanism and will decrease the lead time. This will in turn help to reduce the operational cost of the private companies and will encourage more players to enter the market, increase competition and result in lower system costs.
After identifying gaps in the current subsidy delivery modality, the project report ends with the recommendation of a new modality improving the current modality and filling the gaps identified. As this study has some limitations, as described in chapter one, the scope of further works has been listed at the end
COASTAL MONITORING, SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE
No full text<p>The text discusses coastal monitoring and surveillance in India. It examines the importance of securing the 7516.6 km coastline after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Initiatives taken by the Government for coastal development and security are outlined, including the SAGARMALA project and the expansion of NCC in border areas.[1] The technical aspects of coastal surveillance are detailed, such as the 46 radar Coastal Surveillance Network, electro-optic sensors, AIS, and DATS. SOPs, community interaction programs, biometric ID cards, and vessel tracking further bolster security.[2] Challenges remain, but mapping, infrastructure upgrades, and ecological protection demonstrate the priority accorded to integrated coastal monitoring.</p>
EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT BIOAGENTS AGAINST PHOMOPSIS AINST PHOMOPSIS BLIGHT IN BRINJAL CAUSEDS BY PHOMOPSIS (Sacardo and Syndow) BLIGHT IN BRINJAL CAUSEDS BY PHOMOPSIS (Sacardo and Syndow)
No full textA study was conducted in the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Horticulture, (VCSGUUHF) Bharsar. During Kharif season 2016. result revealed that per cent growth inhibition of Phomopsis vexans is maximum in Trichoderma harzianum (62.29%) followed by Bacillus ceresus (53.30%), Pseudomonas fluorescence (48.89%) and minimum per cent inhibition growth was reported in Rhizobium japonicum (42.07%). In vivo result revealed that per cent disease index maximum in Rhizobium japonicum (42.70%) with yield (25.35t/ha) followed by Azotobacter chorococum (39.22%) with yield (26.25t/ha), Bacillus substilis (38.05%) with (26.60t/ha) and minimum Trichoderma harzianum (28.64%) with (28.96t/ha). This result shows that Trichoderma harzianum is very effective bio control agent and should be exploited for the control of Phomopsis blight of Brinjal. So, Trichoderma harzianum @ 5 g/kg seed is maximum effective for the control of phomopsis blight of brinjal

1982 Unclos: Laying of Cables and Related Activities In "The Area" In the Light of Due Regard Obligations
No full text<p>The world beneath our oceans is as vast as it is unexplored. Nevertheless, in this largely undiscovered frontier, intricate networks of submarine cables crisscross the ocean floors, quietly powering our modern, interconnected world. These vital conduits for data and communication are more critical than ever, especially in an age defined by global connectivity and rapid technological advancement. However, laying and maintaining these undersea cables in international waters is not as straightforward as it may seem. With the seabed commonly considered "the common heritage of mankind," who has the right to lay cables there? Furthermore, what responsibilities come with such activities? These questions are at the heart of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a seminal document ratified in 1982 to govern maritime activities. This book, titled "1982 UNCLOS: Laying of Cables and Related Activities in 'The Area' in the Light of Due Regard Obligations," aims to unravel the legal, technical, and ethical considerations concerning the laying of cables in international seabed areas, commonly referred to as 'The Area.' We focus mainly on the concept of 'due regard,' a legal principle stipulating that States must have due regard for the interests of other States in their actions in international waters. The content within these pages is not merely academic; it has significant implications for policymakers, international law experts, and anyone engaged in marine activities. As we delve into historical precedents, analyse current case studies, and anticipate future challenges, we offer a holistic view of how due regard obligations can be balanced with State interests, thereby promoting responsible use of marine resources. We, the authors, would like to express our gratitude to all those who contributed their expertise and insights to this project. We sincerely hope this work will serve as a comprehensive resource, provoking thought and encouraging action towards more sustainable and cooperative use of our global maritime commons.</p>
