Use of waste materials in road construction has been in vogue in India for quite sometime. This is particularly necessitated by the problems of disposal associated with it. Otherwise, these materials would cause problems to the environment. Copper slag is one of the waste materials that are being used extensively in the civil engineering construction industry. Copper producing units in India leave thousands of tonnes of copper slag as waste every day. Large quantities of the accumulated slag is dumped and left on costly land, causing wastage of good cultivable land. Based on U.S. environmental protection agency regulations, governing solid waste characteristics, copper slag can be classified as a non-hazardous material. Granulated copper slag is more porous and, therefore, has particle size equal to that of coarse sand. In this paper, a review of the previous research studies carried out by various researchers on utilization of copper slag in geotechnical applications is discussed and presented.

Review on Study of Reservoir Sedimentation by Remote Sensing Technique

Water Resource Engineering
Year: 2015, Volume:1, Issue : 12
Pages: 251 - 254
Sediment particles originating from soil erosion processes in the catchment are propagated along with the river flow. The sediment settles in the reservoir, when the flow of a river is stored in a reservoir and reduces its capacity. Reduction in the storage capacity of a reservoir beyond a limit hampers the purpose for which it was designed. Hence assessment of sediment deposition becomes very important for the management and operation of such reservoirs. Some conventional methods, such as hydrographic survey and inflow outflow approaches, are used for estimation of sedimentation in a reservoir, but these methods are cumbersome, time consuming and expensive.There is a need for developing simple methods, which require less time and are cost effective. Present study, is an attempt to estimate reservoir sedimentation and capacity loss by using Remote Sensing Technique. This study has been done by a detailed research and analysis of some papers written by well known researchers in the above field.

Soda Ash also known as Sodium Carbonate(Na2CO3) is an alkali chemical refined from the mineral Trona or naturally occurring Sodium Carbonate- bearing brines, the mineral Nahcolite or manufactured from one of several chemical processes. Soda Ash is mainly produced by Solvay Process also called Ammonia Soda Process. During this production process there are various Emissions and Environmental Impact. Recent technologies and advancements are predominant in reducing this Soda Ash Environment Impact. Current scenario shows that LCA is a very Handy tool which can be used to study and track the current status of Soda Ash Environment Impact. It also helps us in conducting Optimization studies and Reducing the Soda Ash Environment Impact.

Year: 2015, Volume:1, Issue : 12
Pages: 259 - 261
Commercial and industrial pick and place systems are now in widespread use performing jobs more cheaply or with greater accuracy and reliability than humans. They are also employed for jobs which are too dirty, dangerous or dull to be suitable for humans. Pick and Place Systems are widely used in manufacturing, assembly and packing, transport, earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry, laboratory research, and mass production of consumer and industrial goods. Today, In Machining Industry Pick and Place from CNC Machining is very boring and repetitive work on the other hand in this competitive world, the cost of six axis manipulator (Robot) is very costly from application point of view. So each customer wants to develop the system which is low in initial cost as well as running cost.

Pages: 262 - 266
Today E-commerce popularity has made web an excellent source of gathering customer reviews/opinions about a product that they have purchased. The number of customer reviews that a product receives is growing at a very fast rate. Opinion mining from product reviews, forum posts and blogs is an important research topic today with many applications. Customers use the reviews for deciding quality of product to buy. So, opinion mining may be a Decision making process. It means reviews are given to promote or to demote the product. There is need to find how many reviews are positive and how many are negative. So, to find out it features for which classification is going to be performed should be best or optimal. This Paper presents various approaches of classification for sentiment analysis and proposed work is selecting best feature set such as pos tags from reviews which we can easily classify the review of customer. Only features which are giving best decision for analysis have been selected in pre-processing task and Combination of best feature set will be used to classify reviews.

The watershed is a topographical and hydrological area on which the precipitation occurs and drains towards the common point and there is a harmony among the land-use, soil and geomorphology. So it is more rational to adopt the watershed as a development unit. The morphometric characteristics are commonly used to develop regional hydrological models particularly for unguaged catchment. Gagadio watershed having 521.55km2 drainge area located in Amreli district of Gujarat. Gagadio river is a major left bank tributary of Shetrunji river. Using ArcHydro tool in ArcGIS software, Gagadio watershed and its fourteen subwatersheds were delineated. The basic morphometric parameters (basin area, basin perimeter, basin length, total number and length of streams of each order) and linear morphometric parameters (bifurcation ratio, drainage density, stream frequency, texture ratio, length of overland flow) were calculated for fourteen subwatersheds. The values of mean bifurcation ratio in all subwatersheds indicates less structural disturbance in drainage pattern of subwatersheds. In all fourteen subwatersheds, observed values of drainage density and stream frequency are moderate. Values of texture ratio reflects very course drainage texture in all subwatersheds. Overland flow length in all subwatersheds are nearly 1 which are low.

In this paper, we have shown how we developed a web app for an improved Google map view by inputing queries and processing it. It’s a typical location based service. As the name suggests the system is intelligent because the KNN query applied to the google map, or any random KNN messages is processed in an intelligent manner, intelligent in the sense that it reduces traffic and maintains high accuracy of the results. We have used two different approaches for this depending upon the node density, they are Explosion(EXP) and the Spiral method(SPI) which is being implemented in MANET’s.

Pages: 278 - 283
This paper describes some results of the research in the area of multiple spark ignition engines In the single spark plug engine there is a high exhaust emission and low break thermal efficiency because of incomplete combustion .To overcome this problem new dual spark plug engine is developed. Dual spark ignition system has proved their potential in improving the performance of the engines and improved emissive characteristics as compared with the single spark plug ignition system. Recently a new type engine has been introduced which uses triple spark plugs at different location, controlled by an advanced electronic control unit. This advanced electronic control unit uses three different ignition timings with variable spark plug number. Experiments were conducted at different load conditions and different types of engines has proved that dual spark plug ignition engines are surely better than a single spark plug engine ,but triple spark ignition engines has proved their potential .It is experimentally investigated that in the single spark plug mode the centrally located spark plug is most effective and gives best performance. In the dual ,triple and four spark plug mode if the central location of the spark plug is not possible because of the design of the engine than spark plugs were considered to be located diametrically opposite to each other on cylinder head axis symmetrically. According to Dimensionless distance from the cylinder centre to spark plug location on cylinder head, rsd = rs/R, five locations (rsd = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0) were considered. Inevitably rsd = 0 corresponds to the single spark arrangement that the plug is located at the centre. To comparison, single-spark plug configurations were also considered for other selected spark plug locations. Current paper investigate the effect of multi spark plug to the single spark plug on the basis of the performance of engine and emissive characteristics of engine. The result shown that the considerable improvement in the performance of engine output and considerable reduction in BSFC,HC and Co emission in multi spark plug mode
