The effect of hydrogen diffusion on the transmission spectrum of Long Period Grating (LPG) is investigated by monitoring the wavelength shift and the intensity variation in the loss peaks. The LPG is inscribed in a hydrogen loaded standard telecommunication fiber and experiments are performed at different annealing temperature and time to observe the spectral changes. Keywords— Fiber grating, L...

ZnO nanorods (diameters∼25 nmand lengths∼145-150 nm) were synthesized by using a simple solochemical method and their LPG sensing properties were investigated. The ZnO nanorods exhibited outstanding gas sensingcharacteristics such as, higher gas response (∼502 to 50ppm LPG at 300 ◦C), extremely rapid response(∼6-7 s), fast recovery (∼6–7 s), excellent reproducibility, good sensing selectivity a...

The long-term goal of this project is to improve the high-resolution model forecasts by developing a real-time globally re-locatable capability to initialize/assimilate the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) land-surface model soil parameters. The partition of the model surface sensible and latent heat fluxes in the land-surface parameterization is sensitive to the in...

This paper describes categories for landscape elements in the language of the Yindjibarndi people, a community of Indigenous Australians. Yindjibarndi terms for topographic features were obtained from dictionaries, and augmented and refined through discussions with local language experts in the Yindjibarndi community. In this paper, the Yindjibarndi terms for convex landforms and for water bodi...

This paper proposes a Serbian cadastral domain model as the country profile for the real estate cadastre, based on the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), defined within ISO 19152. National laws and other legal acts were analyzed and the incorrect applications of the law are outlined. The national “Strategy of measures and activities for increasing the quality of services in the field of g...

The process of financial development in India has hinged effectively on the development of banking system. The Indian banking industry is continuously going through a process of transformation since nineties, due to the introduction of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG), Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The first objective of present paper is to study existing ...

Unconventional ways of growing plants, when we return to non-chemical methods of controlling weeds, require new weed control methods. One of the few physical methods, which found wider application in practice, is a flame weeder with heat burners based on the use of gas (LPG). However, the process of practical use of this flame weeder has a number of factors that positively or negatively affect ...
