Bacteriological water quality status in terms of total coliform and faecal coliform count was studied on both--east and west banks of river Yamuna in Delhi. Membrane filtration technique was adopted for enumeration of total coliform and faecal coliform count in the river water sample collected on monthly basis for 2 years--2002 and 2003. The study reveals the impact of diverse anthropogenic act...

Abstract Urbanization is taking place at a very fast pace in India. The migration of people from villages to cities putting tremendous pressure on the infrastructure all major cities. Due lack expertise, Municipal Authorities continued dispose MSW by dumping it open areas. fires and other constant problems ground along with water contamination due leachate causes lot opposition Nongovernment Or...

The use of fuseless capacitor banks requires subtle changes in the protection approach from the more traditional fused banks. This paper covers the aspects of protecting fuseless capacitor banks of various voltage classes. Comparison of fused versus fuseless capacitor bank protection is discussed, along with examples and insights from Minnesota Power’s experiences with fuseless capacitor banks.

Robot Competition and Exhibition, held as part of the Fourteenth International Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The event called for a robot to pick up trash in an unstructured environment and sort it such that the recyclable trash winded up in the recycle bin and the regular trash in the trash bin. The only allowable information lola was given beforehand were model-based descriptions of ...

The effects of ground deformation pose a significant geo-hazard to the environment and infrastructure in Wuhan, the most populous city in Central China, in the eastern Jianghan Plain at the intersection of the Yangtze and Han rivers. Prior to this study, however, rates and patterns of region-wide ground deformation in Wuhan were little known. Here we employ multi-temporal SAR interferometry to ...

The paper presents the impact of irregular rainfall events triggering landslides in the regional context of landslides in Hungary. The author’s experience, gathered from decades of observations, confirms that landslide processes are strongly correlate with precipitation events in all three landscape types (hill regions of unconsolidated sediments; high bluffs along river banks and lake shores; ...

Spur dike is one of the hydraulic structures used in rivers to protect river banks. In this paper, flow pattern around a T-shaped spur dike which is located in a 90◦ bend and different amounts of submersion has been studied using Flow-3D. Numerical results have been compared with experimental results and have been analysed.
