main perennial rivers of gujarat, tapi, narmada, mahi and sabarmatiare meeting arabian sea in gulf of khambhat. the out flow of mahi river intothe sea is decreased due to construction of dams like bajaj sagar, kadana, panamand wanakbori weir. so, tidal effect of sea and sea water intrusion is beingincreased on landward side. moreover, due to erratic nature of rainfall andimproper management of ...

Microwave pyrolysis of finely ground jatropha seed biochar was used as bio-filler to develop biocomposites. Effects influencing the mechanical properties biocomposites were investigated based on varied material ratio. Ratios by percentage weight determined D-optimal (custom) mixture design using Stat Ease “Design Expert”. The properties, such tensile strength, modulus elasticity, and microhardn...

This work aimed to investigate the co-grinding effects of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) on crystalline zaltoprofen (ZPF) in tablet formulation. Crystalline ZPF was prepared through anti-solvent recrystallization and fully analyzed through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Co-ground dispersions and mono-ground ZPF were prepared using a ball grinding process. Results revealed ...

The paper deals with the ground and the first excited state of the polaron in the one dimensional Holstein model. Various variational methods are used to investigate both the weak coupling and strong coupling cases, as well as the crossover regime between them. Two of the methods, which are presented here for the first time, introduce new elements to the understanding of the nature of the polar...

Geothermal Heat Pumps, or Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), are systems combining a heat pump with a ground heat exchanger (closed loop systems), or fed by ground water from a well (open loop systems). They use the earth as a heat source when operating in heating mode, with a fluid (usually water or a water-antifreeze-mixture) as the media transferring the heat from the earth to the evaporator o...

Upscaling in situ leaf area index (LAI) measurements to the footprint scale is important for the validation of medium resolution remote sensing products. However, surface heterogeneity and temporal variation of vegetation make this difficult. In this study, a two-step upscaling algorithm was developed to obtain the representative ground truth of LAI time series in heterogeneous surfaces based o...

The ground states of the one-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model are investigated in the small-coupling limit, using nearly degenerate perturbation theory. For rational electron and ion densities, respectively, equal to p/q , pi /q , with p relatively prime to q and pi /q close enough to 1 2, we find that in the ground state the ion configuration has a period q . The situation is analogous to the...
