Relational contracting has been increasingly used as an innovative tool for cost saving, schedule reduction, reduced litigation, improved teamwork, increased trust, stronger relationships, and overall satisfaction for ...
The replacement of the fossil fuels with renewable sources to produce fuels and value-added chemicals is essential due to the quick depletion of fossil sources and also to meet the stringent environmental regulations. ...
Intensifying environmental issues, the rising demand for energy, political apprehensions and the medium-way depletion of fossil fuels has generated the prerequisite for development of sustainable technologies based on ...
The alarming increase in the rate of groundwater contamination has motivated the hydro-geologists to work on identification of groundwater pollution sources. The identification of groundwater pollution sources is the initial ...
Reinforced concrete structures are affected by various durability problems during their service life. Deterioration due to corrosion of steel reinforcement and degradation of concrete due to sulfate attack are the most ...
Industrial development and rampant population growth has resulted in energy crisis, global climate change, environmental degradation and health problems. Thus, increasing focus is being placed on clean energy supply and ...
In this work, an effort is being made to obtain an analytical solution to the problem of groundwater flow into a network of equally spaced ditch drains in a stratified soil underlain by an impervious barrier. The problem ...
Today, amidst the rapidly expanding urbanized world, around 54% of the world’s population lives in cities. The concept of ‘Green Design’ has now become a new trend for the development of sustainable cities. With the ...
The doctoral work mainly focuses on developing novel MCM-41 that will allow enhanced amine loading and demonstrate efective CO2 capture characterristics.
The main aim of this work is to study the CO2 separation using amine functionalized ordered mesoporous silica materials in adsorption based technology as well as membrane based technology. To know the inner detail of surface ...
The first chapter of this thesis briefly reviews the emergence of carbon nanoparticles ( CNPs ) and their general impo rtance. Then, advantages of CNP as an alternative promising candidate ov er fluorophore like quantum ...
The tea plant is a tropical, evergreen plant of the family Theaceae and genus Camellia. It is one of the most economically important beverage crops in the world. Chinese were the first to use tea as medicinal drink, later ...
This thesis documents our investigations on processing of multichannel electrocardiogram signals using multiscale principal component analysis (MSPCA). There are three broad contributions. First, wavelet based denoising ...
Reinforced Concrete (RC) structural wall, also commonly known as shear wall, has large in-plane lateral strength and lateral stiffness by virtue of its large in-plane dimensions. So, these members are widely used in the ...
The thesis entitled “Design and Fabrication of Rylene Diimide Based Active Materials, Devices and Applications” deals with synthesis of various Rylene Diimide based derivatives following a simple one step condensation ...
Most of the damages during the seismic incidences are greatly influenced by the response of soils, which is governed by the dynamic properties of the soils and the pore-pressure variations. Assam (India), located in the ...
In the present thesis work we have studied the magnetic properties of Fe and Al substituted NiCr2O4 and MnCr2O4 series. Ni(Cr1-xMx)2O4 and Mn(Cr1-xMx)2O4 (M = Fe and Al) samples were prepared in single phase form by using ...
Spinel compound CoCr2O4 is found to be a promising multiferroic material as it exhibits switchable electric polarization under reversal of magnetic field. In a bid to enhance the functional properties of CoCr2O4 , recent ...
Landfills are one of the prominent forms of disposal of waste generated from urban areas. The waste dump landfills interact with atmosphere, rainwater, and soil moisture and produce landfill leachates. The leachate may ...
