In this document we discuss the introduction of theoretical results and data, for example that generated by large scale numerical simulations, into ongoing virtual observatory (VO) activities. The whitepaper has two main target audiences. The first is the community of theorists who either wish to take the initial steps necessary to publish their results online, or who want to make their existin...

Large observatory projects (such as the Large Synoptic Sky Telescope (LSST), the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), and the Water and Environmental Research System (WATERS)) are poised to provide independent, national-scale insitu and remote sensing cyberinfrastructures to gather and publish “community”-sensed data and generate synthesized ...

As part of an initiative to reduce the size, weight, and complexity of radio astronomy receivers and to place the conversion from analog to digital signals as close to the telescope feed as possible, a prototype single-conversion, sideband-separating mixer receiver with a tunable local oscillator (LO) between 5 and 9 GHz has been built and tested. After straightforward gain and phase calibratio...

This study investigated the efficiency of two types of media, namely, gravels and sand for their nutrient removal capabilities from wastewater. Different levels of sand depths were also experimented for their removal efficiencies. And for this purpose three laboratory scale vertical upflow constructed wetlands (S1, S2, S3) were established at PHE Laboratory, MNIT, Jaipur. S1was filled with two ...

This paper presents a case study of how project-based learning (PBL) can be seen as a pedagogical innovation for Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre, Jaipur, India (JECRC) for better recruitment drives for on-campus recruitments. The practical knowledge of engineering, basic knowledge of engineering design, soft skills or personal competences can be correlated with the academic perfo...

The carpet industry is one of the most rapidly growing traditional industries in India. This is a handicraft and cottage industry that provides jobs right at doorstep of more than 100,000 workers, belonging to economically backward class of society. In the global carpet scenerio, the market share of Indian carpets is expanding rapidly. Jaipur and its adjacent districts are the major manufacturi...
