Application of Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) for wastewater treatment could be an attractive alternative to
recover energy in terms of biogas. In recent years, researchers have shown that AnMBRs can be used to produce methane from
synthetic wastewater. Studies were conducted in the laboratory scale anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor for treatment of synthetic
wastewater at different organic loading rates, under thermophillic and mesophilic conditions and ranging membrane flux. These
AnMBRs performed well for COD and BOD removal from the wastewater, demonstrating the effectiveness of this device for
wastewater treatment with COD and BOD removal efficiency above 90%. Results show that the application of anaerobic
membrane bioreactors is an efficient way to retain specific bacteria that can be a key for the treatment of wastewaters under
extreme conditions. The latter would enable their application to a wide range of industrial processes with the purpose of water
recycling. The challenge for future research is finding the optimum operational conditions to control the cake layer formation,
enhancing membrane performance and reducing the membrane area requirements. This will increase the economic feasibility of
AnMBRs, enabling its full scale application. The performance of the AnMBRs as reported in literature with different substrates,
membrane fouling issues and different membrane rector configurations are presented in this paper.

Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) technology, normally referred to as UASB reactor, is a form of anaerobic digester that is used in the treatment of wastewater.
The UASB reactor is a methanogenic (methane-producing) digester that evolved from the anaerobic clarigester. A similar but variant technology to UASB is the expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) digester. A diagramatic comparison of different anaerobic digesters can be found here.
UASB uses an anaerobic process whilst forming a blanket of granular sludge which suspends in the tank. Wastewater flows upwards through the blanket and is processed (degraded) by the anaerobic microorganisms. The upward flow combined with the settling action of gravity suspends the blanket with the aid of flocculants. The blanket begins to reach maturity at around 3 months. Small sludge granules begin to form whose surface area is covered in aggregations of bacteria. In the absence of any support matrix, the flow conditions creates a selective environment in which only those microorganisms, capable of attaching to each other, survive and proliferate. Eventually the aggregates form into dense compact biofilms referred to as "granules".A picture of anaerobic sludge granules can be found here.
Biogas with a high concentration of methane is produced as a by-product, and this may be captured and used as an energy source, to generate electricity for export and to cover its own running power. The technology needs constant monitoring when put into use to ensure that the sludge blanket is maintained, and not washed out (thereby losing the effect). The heat produced as a by-product of electricity generation can be reused to heat the digestion tanks.
The blanketing of the sludge enables a dual solid and hydraulic (liquid) retention time in the digesters. Solids requiring a high degree of digestion can remain in the reactors for periods up to 90 days. Sugars dissolved in the liquid waste stream can be converted into gas quickly in the liquid phase which can exit the system in less than a day.

Estimates of Elasticity and Compressive Strenght in Soil Cement Mixed With Ij...AM Publications
Similar to concretes, soil cements have increasing strengths with age. More importantly, this type of material has lower elasticity comparatively to solely soils. Being used as road foundation materials, soil cements may have sufficient strength to support loads from vehicles. However, in a long run, repetitive loadings, such as those from vehicles, may damage soil cements foundations signified by cracking. To address this limitation, palm sugar fibers have been added to the soil cement mixture. It is found that fibers can increase the elasticity of soil cements. This study has also provided results of compression strength tests conducted in soil mechanic laboratory over 30 (thirty) remolded cylindrical samples of soil cements that have different ages, e.g., 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days, respectively. The samples are reconstructed of type SC soils, type I cements, and palm sugar fibers. The amounts of cement are 6% and 10% by weight of dry soils, while the portion of palm sugar fiber is 0,5% by weight of dray soils. Before being tested, the samples are stored under a constant temperature. Last but not least, the data series obtained from these tests are analysed and results in an important expression that can be used for estimating the compression strength and elasticity module of soil cements added with palm sugar fibers. Last but not least, the data series obtained from these tests are analysed and results in an important expression that can be used for estimating the compression strength and elasticity modulus of soil cements mixed ijuk-aren. The results obtained is empirical equation models forecast increased compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of soil cement mixed ijuk-aren.
Evaluation of mechanical properties and
metallurgical changes, which occur in AISI 431 martensitic
stainless steel as a result of the welding processes consisting of
electron beam welding (fusion welding) and friction welding
(solid state welding) is carried out. In addition, the influence of
post weld heat treatments on microstructure and mechanical
properties has also been investigated. Weld center in EB welding
exhibited a cast dendritic structure with ferrite network in a
matrix of un-tempered martensite. In friction welding, the weld
center exhibited thermo-mechanical effected structure consists of
fine intragranular acicular martensite in equiaxed prior austenite
grains. In both the welding processes, post weld tempering
treatment resulted in coarsening of the martensite which
increases with increase in tempering temperature. In the as-weld
condition, both EB and Friction welds exhibited high strength
and hardness and poor impact toughness. Increase in impact
toughness and decrease in strength and hardness is observed with
an increase in tempering temperature. However, high strength
and hardness observed in friction welds as compared to EB
welds, which may be due to fine grain size of the welds due to
thermo-mechanical work the weld undergoes during welding.
Low impact toughness is observed in friction welds as compared
to EB welds, due to presence of fine grained martensite.
Study on Performance of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system at various temperatu...AM Publications
The study on performance of sidestream membrane bioreactor (MBR) was studied by varying temperature (30oC, 33oC and 40oC)
along with crossflow velocity (1m/s, 1.5m/s and 2 m/s).CFV and temperature had significant effect on performance of sidestream MBR.
Performance was studied by analysing COD removal (%), flux declination, Transmembrane pressure, mixed liquor suspended solid
concentration. Maximum COD removal was 93% is obtained at 30oC with CFV 1.5 m/s. Flux declination is large at 30oC as compared to flux
declination at 33oC and 40oC temperatures for all CFVs. Sludge production in terms of MLSS, is large at 30oC and minimum at 40oC. This
high concentration of MLSS is responsible for large COD removal as well as increased in membrane fouling which cause large flux
declination. It is observed that high CFV causes less flux declination tends to large permeate flux. By visual perception it is observed that at
higher temperature, bioreactor content was more turbid than at low temperature this means that, large bioflocs get segregated and cause fast
scouring on membrane surface, it resultsslow down of permeate flux declination. Selection parameter (SP) was used to optimize the
operational condition of MBR system. Largest value of SP was treated as optimum value for operation of sidestream MBR. Thus, condition T
= 33oC, CFV = 2 m/s gave highest SP value 27 lit/m2-hr, and may be recommended for treating wastewater of COD 1092 mg/lit. Comparison
of side stream MBR with submerged MBR system was carried out, and it is observed that sidestream MBR data is best suitable for waste
water treatment.

Artificial intelligence based control approach for membrane bioreactor in sew...eSAT Journals
Abstract Membrane bioreactors (MBR) for wastewater treatment, which have increasingly been employed for the last 15 years and which play an important role in wastewater treatment. It is the continuation of the fundamental contribution of sewage water treatment, which is extended and complemented in various aspects. In this project an advanced control approach is made to bring desired purification for sewage water. The major challenge in controlling MBR is the large amount of uncertainty present in the process models, in the unknown inflow conditions, and in the limited measurement information. Hence, controller development is driven by the necessity to structure uncertainty, to attenuate its harmful effects, and to exploit it wherever possible. Such a control method is model based predictive controller. The frame work for the model-based control of membrane bioreactors (MBR) is developed, which aims at the economical optimization of MBR operation Keywords: MBR, NMPC, Optimization.

PEDESTRIAN DETECTION IN LOW RESOLUTION VIDEOS USING A MULTI-FRAME HOG-BASED D...AM Publications
Detecting pedestrians in low resolution videos is a challenging task, due to the small size of pedestrians in the images and the limited information. In practical outdoor surveillance scenarios the pedestrian size is usually small. Existing state-of-the-art pedestrian detection methods that use histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features have poor performance in this problem domain. To compensate for the lack of information in a single frame, we propose a novel detection method that recognizes pedestrians in a short sequence of frames. Namely, we take the single-frame HOG-based detector and extend it to multiple frames. Our detector is applied to regions containing potential moving objects. In the case of video taken from a moving camera on an aerial platform, video stabilization is first performed to register the frames. A classifier is then applied to features extracted from spatio-temporal volumes surrounding the potential moving objects. On challenging stationary and aerial video datasets, our detection accuracy outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms.

When the bus arrives at the bus stand, transmitter in the bus transmits the light signals and receiver in the stick, receives the light signals and a sound signal is generated through the speaker present in the stick. The sound message contains the bus number and the destination of the bus. In addition to this, if the person is absconded or lost, details of the location will be sent to his/her family members by pressing a button. This is made possible with the help of Global System for Mobile (GSM). Finally, presence of water can be detected along the blind person’s path, with the help of water sensors.
EFFECT OF SILICON - RUBBER (SR) SHEETS AS AN ALTERNATIVE FILTER ON HIGH AND L...AM Publications
A digital radiography delivers a radiation dose to patients; therefore it poses potential risk to the patients. One effort to reduce dose is carried out using a radiation filter, e.g. Silicone Rubber (SR) sheet. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of the SR sheet on the high contrast objects (HCO) and the low contrast objects (LCO). The dose reduction was determined from attenuation x-rays before and after using the SR sheet. Assessment of HCO and LCO was observed from CDR TOR phantom at tube voltage of 48 kVp and tube current of 8 mAs. The physical parameter to assess image quality was the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) value in LCO. The maximum x-ray attenuation using the SR sheet is 48.82%. The visibility of the HCO remains the same, namely 16 objects; however the LCO slighly decreases from 14 objects to 13 objects after using the SR sheet. The SNR value decreases with an average value of 15.17%.Therefore, the SR sheet as a alternative filter has no effect on the HCO and has realtively little effect on the LCO. Thus, the SR sheet potentially is used for radiation protection in patients, especially on examinations that do not require low contrast resolution.

The article presents the study of cryptographic transformations of the Kuznyechik algorithm in relation to differential analysis and the translation of their representations into a more convenient form for cryptanalysis. A simplification of the type of transformations of the algorithm to algebraic the form, in which cryptanalysis software will be more effective. Since the description of the algorithm in the analytical form allows for 16 cycles of execution of the shift register with linear feedback, each of which will be carried out 16 operations of multiplication and 15 operations of addition, reduced to 16 multiplying and 15 the operations of addition. The result is an algebraic form of a linear transformation (from a shift register with linear feedback to the multiplication of the matrix in a finite field). In the future, the algebraic type of transformation can be used to effectively carry out differential cryptanalysis.

Surveillance refers to the task of observing a scene, often for lengthy periods in search of particular objects or particular behaviour. This task has many applications, foremost among them is security (monitoring for undesirable behaviour such as theft or vandalism), but increasing numbers of others in areas such as agriculture also exist. Historically, closed circuit TV (CCTV) surveillance has been mundane and labour Intensive, involving personnel scanning multiple screens, but the advent of reasonably priced fast hardware means that automatic surveillance is becoming a realistic task to attempt in real time. Several attempts at this are underway.
SIMULATION OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTANTS DISPERSION IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAM Publications
Interest in air pollution investigation of urban environment due to existence of industrial and commercial activities along with vehicular emission and existence of buildings and streets which setup natural barrier for pollutant dispersion in the urban environment has increased. The air pollution modelling is a multidisciplinary subject when the entire cities are taken under consideration where urban planning and geometries are complex which needs a large software packages to be developed like Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM), California Line Source model (CALINE series) etc. On overviewing various works it can be summarized that the air pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons and all linked phenomenon such as wind flow, pollutant concentrations, temperature distribution etc. generally depend on wind speed and direction, building heights and density, road width, source and intensity of air pollution, meteorological variables like temperature, humidity etc. A unique and surprising case is observed every time on numerous combinations of these factors. The main aim of this study is to simulate the atmospheric pollutant dispersion for given pollutant like carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and given atmospheric conditions like wind speed and direction. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation for analysing the atmospheric pollutant dispersion is done after natural airflow analysis. Volume rendering is done for variables such as phase 2 volume fraction and velocity with resolution as 250 pixels per inch and transparency as 20%. It can be observed that all the three pollutant namely nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide the phase 2 volume fraction changes from 0 to 1. The wind velocity changes from 3.395×10-13 m/s to 1.692×102 m/s. The dispersion of pollutants follow the sequence Sulphur dioxide>Carbon monoxide>Nitrogen dioxide.

Nanofibers filtration efficiency against a particulate matter in air was obtained more than 99.53% and excellent property of removal of heavy metal.
ANALYSIS ON LOAD BALANCING ALGORITHMS IMPLEMENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIR...AM Publications
Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. The elements involved in cloud computing are clients, data center and distributed server. One of the main problems in cloud computing is load balancing. Balancing the load means to distribute the workload among several nodes evenly so that no single node will be overloaded. Load can be of any type that is it can be CPU load, memory capacity or network load. In this paper we presented an architecture of load balancing and algorithm which will further improve the load balancing problem by minimizing the response time. In this paper, we have proposed the enhanced version of existing regulated load balancing approach for cloud computing by comping the Randomization and greedy load balancing algorithm. To check the performance of proposed approach, we have used the cloud analyst simulator (Cloud Analyst). Through simulation analysis, it has been found that proposed improved version of regulated load balancing approach has shown better performance in terms of cost, response time and data processing time.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
