Road Transport in Urban India: Its Implications on HealthRohit Sharma
Urban population in India has increased from 17-31.16%
between 1951 and 2011. Transport sector in India is an extensive system comprising different modes of transport, but road transport is the dominant mode playing an important role in conveyance of goods and passengers and linking the centers of production, consumption and distribution. Road transport accounted for 4.7% of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010-11.
Although essential for mobility, trade, economic development and growth, integration and social inclusion, there are negative impacts of transportation as well especially that of energy intensive transport.

ABSTRACT- Transportation-related pollutants are one of the largest contributors to unhealthy air quality. Delhi, the capital of India, is one of the most significant polluted urban areas in the world. Given the high traffic volume combined with heterogeneous traffic composition ranging from non-motorized vehicles to two-and-three wheelers, to cars, buses and trucks; it is pivotal to understand whether the commuter can associate the everyday symptoms of sickness to the level of pollution caused by the various modes of transport. In this study a survey was conducted to assess the effects of air pollutants on commuters using public and private transportation. The findings of the study revealed that commuters face health problems like headache, fatigue/drowsiness, nasal congestion, eye irritation, nose irritation, sneezing, skin irritation, respiratory problems and throat irritation. Maximum commuters also opined that cancer and respiratory morbidity are the major long term health effects of transport-related air pollution.

As a consequence of urbanization a phenomenal
surge has been observed in the vehicular population in India,
giving rise to elevated levels of traffic related pollutants like
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and
particulates in Indian urban centers. These pollutants can
have both acute and chronic effects on human health. Thus
air quality management needs immediate attention. Air
quality models simulate the physical and chemical processes
occurring in the atmosphere to estimate the atmospheric
pollutant concentration. A variety of air quality models are
available ranging from simple empirical models to complex
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models. Air quality
models can be a valuable tool in pollution forecasting, air
quality management, traffic management and urban planning.
This paper evaluates the performance of widely used Danish
Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM) under Indian
traffic conditions. Comparison between predicted and observed
concentrations was performed using both quantitative and
statistical methods. OSPM was found to perform exceedingly
well for the prediction of particulates whereas NO2 predictions
were poorly predicted.

The Effects of Electronic Waste Burning on Lead Concentration in Water and Bl...Premier Publishers
The burning of electronic waste constitutes a major public health problem in South west Hebron -Southern Hebron Governorate – in which electronic waste burning is prevalent. This descriptive comparative study aimed to investigate the effect of electronic waste burning on the concentrations of lead in human blood and water samples (n=104) in South west Hebron as an exposed region with the town of Halhul as a control. Results showed that 39% and 55% of participants supported that electronic waste burning has an impact on municipal and natural resource’s water. Moreover, 69% did not think that burning affects the taste of water, while 72.2% did not think that such burning affects the smell of water. Water and blood samples from exposed regions had higher lead concentrations level than those not exposed with mean of (3.30PPb versus. 2,74PPb) and (46.34PPb versus. 31.6PPb) respectively. Electronic waste burners had a higher lead concentration (55PPb) than those not burning (39PPb). However, hemoglobin level was higher among none exposed (12.19PPb) than exposed (11.28PPb) regions. The burning of electronic waste affects both health and environment. Therefore, upgrading knowledge and education about the damages and impact of burning of electronic waste on human health are considered the first step in overcoming this problem.
Determination of congestion charge for car users in cbd area of thiruvanantha...eSAT Journals
Abstract Congestion is a situation in which demand for road space exceeds supply and is characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, higher transportation costs and increased vehicular queuing. Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, is the second largest and most populous city in the state.The roads and neighbourhoods of the city experiences more chronic congestion and serious crashes than ever before due to higher share of personalized transport and para-transit modes in traffic stream. The present study conducted in Central Business District (CBD) area of Thiruvananthapuram city. The periods of peak congestion in Thiruvananthapuram now last for 4 hours from 8.00 to 10.00 in the morning and from 4.00 to 6.00 in the evening. In this paper, an attempt has been made to assess the congestion level experienced on major road corridors of the city and to determine congestion charge for car users in Mahatma Gandhi Road, which is the most congested road corridor of Thiruvanathapuram city. The method used for the determination of optimal pricing is related to the point of pricing where the external costs are met by the revenue generated by the pricing level. Keywords: Congestion pricing, External costs of congestion, Travel time, Demand elasticity.
The study focused at examining the extent of environmental awareness in Motor Vehicles Garages in Mbeya City. The study used structured questionnaires, interviews and observation to collect data. A total of 41 Garages and 12 Car wash sites were surveyed. Study revealed that a total of 51,300 litres of water were used for cleaning 1026 cars per week; with high risk of health problems, due to contamination. The study also revealed that efforts by government has been at place, these effort includes training the garage owners, sales of some waste products to some companies for recycling purposes. The study identified challenges facing the garages this included many garage sites were built in residential areas, poor record keeping of waste products etc and this was partly contributed by their poor academic backgrounds, which did not cover environmental issues in detail. As a result many garages had poor management of waste generated in their working places. This study recommended that more efforts should done by Mbeya City authorities to provide environmental awareness to Garages employees and communities around.
ABSTRACT- Road traffic accidents (RTA) are a continuing endemic occurrence both in the developed and developing
countries leading to one of the highest causes of mortality and morbidity. A Road Traffic Accident (RTA) can be defined
as, 'An event that occurs on a way or street open to public traffic; resulting in one or more persons being injured or killed,
where at least one moving vehicle is involved. The current study is a cross sectional study seen the pattern of injuries
occurred by RTA. Total numbers of 384 RTA victims were undertaken in this study at Lord Buddha Koshi Medical
College, Saharsa, Bihar, India from Jan 2016 to June 2016. Total numbers of 384 RTA victims were undertaken in this
study. Age & sex wise distribution were analyzed. Types of injury, causes, and outcome were also analyzed. In this study
we were concluded that the age and sex distribution is independent of accident occurrence. It is clear that fractures on
head & face are common in RTA. Fractures in lower limb & upper limb are also common in road traffic accidents. Present
study showed that the motorcyclist is at more risk. Various reports in India have shown that the outcome of RTA is not
only a health hazard but also an economic burden.

Carbon monoxide Content of Exhaust Emissions from Agricultural Tractor Engine...IJAEMSJORNAL
This study aims at contributing to the information buildup required for advocating the need for urgent reduction of environmental pollution by exhaust emissions from fossil fuel powered Engines in Nigeria. It was, concluded from the results obtained from the study that carbon monoxide content of the exhaust emissions of agricultural tractors are approximately forty nine(49) times higher than the recommended maximum level of 0.5 % vol CO (v/v) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). FIAT 70-666 contributed the largest content of 2.9 % vol of CO (v/v) while MASSEY FERGUSSON MF 375 contributed the least amount of 1.7 % vol of CO(v/v). Only the engine capacity had significant effect on the carbon monoxide content of the exhaust emissions of the agricultural tractors; the model/make selection did not significantly affect the CO content of their exhaust emissions.

One in 8 of total deaths worldwide (8 million people in all) are due to polluted air (outdoor and indoor in roughly equal measure). Asia alone accounts for almost 6 million deaths. In India, indoor and outdoor air pollution are respectively, the second and fifth largest killers. 7 of 10 cities in Asia have poor air quality and quickly developing cities are the worst. At the same time 44 million people are added to Asian cities every year and vehicle ownership is growing rapidly.
We look at trends, monitoring and measurement of air pollution in Asian cities. In particular, India’s recently launched Air Quality Index is analysed. We next examine causes and consequence of polluted air in Asian cities. The main sources range from vehicles and industries to construction and burning of waste. Severe health impacts are the norm. These are expounded and analysed. Finally, we argue that without sensible land use and transport planning and complementary economic policies the prognosis is poor.
The Effects of Cement Dust on Haematological Parameters of Cement Workers in ...iosrjce
The effect of cement dust on exposed workers was conducted in Asaba Delta state Nigeria, to
delineate the occupational hazards posed by cement dust on haematological parameters. The assessment of
haematological parameters was performed in forty workers occupationally exposed to cement dust and forty
matched unexposed control. The accepted level of significance was p< 0.05. The results show that the
erythrocyte sedimentation count, haemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume were not significantly
different between the exposed and the control (p> 0.05). There was a significantly lower platelet count,
lymphocytes and total white blood cell count in the exposed workers relative to the control (p< 0.05). Apart from
the white blood cell count, the number of years of exposure did not significantly affect the other parameters.
The results from this study has shown that occupational exposure to cement dust has significant effects on some
haematological parameters while years of exposure was not a significant factor on the haematological
parameters of cement depot workers

Conception Survey on Willingness to Pay for Improved Air Quality in Dhaka Ci...MdWaheduzzaman3
- It is a matter of concern for the mega cities in the world especially Dhaka City in Bangladesh that the quality of air is
deteriorating in disruptly day by day. Because of growing unplanned urbanization and for implementation mega development projects
like metro rail, elevated express way and the establishment of brick fields adjacent to this city etc. For implementing these type of projects, Dhaka’s air has been contaminated with Particulate Matter (PM) which is very much injurious to health. Besides this rapid
increase of motor vehicle are also responsible to contaminate the air quality. To reduce the air pollution of Dhaka City, This survey
was conducted for identifying to know how the city duelers want to overcome this situation and who are agreed to pay for this. So, assess of the willingness to pay (WTP) for improved air quality among the living people of this city associated factors influencing
their WTP. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in combination with contingent valuation in between January to
March of 2020. A face-to-face interview was conducted to obtain basic demographic information from manufacturing workers and to
understand their WTP for air quality improvement. A total of 50 effective questionnaires were collected in this study and showed that more than 94% of the respondents expressed their WTP for improved air quality. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed
that the main factors associated with manufacturing workers’ WTP were their residence areas, education level, annual household
income and travel experience. These findings have provided (a) important information of the concern and desire for air pollution
control through their WTP from manufacturing workers, (b) baseline information for the policy-maker and local government for their
development of more effective policy in air pollution prevention and control and (c) the need for more study for WTP among different population groups in future.

Urban Air Quality Modelling and Simulation: A Case Study of Kolhapur (M.S.), ...IDES Editor
As a consequence of urbanization a phenomenal
surge has been observed in the vehicular population in India,
giving rise to elevated levels of traffic related pollutants like
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and
particulates in Indian urban centers. These pollutants can
have both acute and chronic effects on human health. Thus
air quality management needs immediate attention. Air
quality models simulate the physical and chemical processes
occurring in the atmosphere to estimate the atmospheric
pollutant concentration. A variety of air quality models are
available ranging from simple empirical models to complex
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models. Air quality
models can be a valuable tool in pollution forecasting, air
quality management, traffic management and urban planning.
This paper evaluates the performance of widely used Danish
Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM) under Indian
traffic conditions. Comparison between predicted and observed
concentrations was performed using both quantitative and
statistical methods. OSPM was found to perform exceedingly
well for the prediction of particulates whereas NO2 predictions
were poorly predicted.
Impact of Air Quality on Human Health In The Vicinity of Construction Sites i...IJERA Editor
Construction sites are important source of air pollution emitting pollutants like PM10, etc. which adversely affect human health especially the respiratory system. The present study aims at monitoring of PM10, health condition of workers, evaluation of API (Air Pollution Index) and development of correlation between API and human health in the vicinity of construction sites. In the present study relevant literature review has also been carried out to study and analyze the impact of air pollution on human health. Reconnaissance survey of 19 selected construction sites in Delhi-NCR has been conducted for the period January 2013 to December 2013 and health related data of people in the vicinity of construction sites has been collected individually through a questionnaire. The air quality data (for pollutant PM10) for the area in which the selected construction sites lie has been obtained from the continuous monitoring stations of Central Pollution Control Board. The monthly average PM10 concentration in the ambient air for the study period has been obtained for all the sites. The annual average PM10 level of all the sites has been estimated and compared with the prescribed value. Also the air pollution index (API) (for pollutant PM10) has been calculated for each site and compared with the percentage of people suffering with respiratory problems at the respective sites. The results show that the construction sites where the value of API for PM10 is higher there the percentage of people suffering with respiratory diseases has also been higher.
Latest steps taken to control air pollution Prem Baboo
There has been a "seven-fold increase" in Delhi's air pollution level since October 2015,
a Center for Science and Environment (CSE) expert said today even as real-time
exposure readings of nearly all monitoring stations put PM 2.5 and PM 10 figures above
the 'severe' threshold. Growing population of the city.
A report published earlier this year by the World Health Organization, air pollution, resulting from
emissions from different sources including industry, motor vehicles, heating and commercial
sources, household fuels as well as tobacco smoke, kills approximately 7 million people annually1
,
worldwide. This accounts for as much as one in eight deaths, and is by far the single largest
environmental health risk. Air pollution is a stumbling block preventing people from leading healthy
and happy lives. It not only causes respiratory illnesses, but also leads to obesity, cardiovascular
diseases, diabetes, neurological disorders and infertility.
Various NGOs and corporates have taken steps to curb air pollution. Clean Air Asia, is providing
scientific input to city governments for better air quality, sustainable mobility programs and
awareness creation for cleaner air. Chintan India has launched a campaign to buy anti-pollution
masks for the poor to protect them against the toxic smog. Jindal Steel and Power, through its CSR
initiatives, works at improving air quality around its plants
A Novel Method for Prevention of Bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service AttacksIJERD Editor
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks became a massive threat to the Internet. Traditional
Architecture of internet is vulnerable to the attacks like DDoS. Attacker primarily acquire his army of Zombies,
then that army will be instructed by the Attacker that when to start an attack and on whom the attack should be
done. In this paper, different techniques which are used to perform DDoS Attacks, Tools that were used to
perform Attacks and Countermeasures in order to detect the attackers and eliminate the Bandwidth Distributed
Denial of Service attacks (B-DDoS) are reviewed. DDoS Attacks were done by using various Flooding
techniques which are used in DDoS attack.
The main purpose of this paper is to design an architecture which can reduce the Bandwidth
Distributed Denial of service Attack and make the victim site or server available for the normal users by
eliminating the zombie machines. Our Primary focus of this paper is to dispute how normal machines are
turning into zombies (Bots), how attack is been initiated, DDoS attack procedure and how an organization can
save their server from being a DDoS victim. In order to present this we implemented a simulated environment
with Cisco switches, Routers, Firewall, some virtual machines and some Attack tools to display a real DDoS
attack. By using Time scheduling, Resource Limiting, System log, Access Control List and some Modular
policy Framework we stopped the attack and identified the Attacker (Bot) machines
Hearing loss is one of the most common human impairments. It is estimated that by year 2015 more
than 700 million people will suffer mild deafness. Most can be helped by hearing aid devices depending on the
severity of their hearing loss. This paper describes the implementation and characterization details of a dual
channel transmitter front end (TFE) for digital hearing aid (DHA) applications that use novel micro
electromechanical- systems (MEMS) audio transducers and ultra-low power-scalable analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), which enable a very-low form factor, energy-efficient implementation for next-generation
DHA. The contribution of the design is the implementation of the dual channel MEMS microphones and powerscalable
ADC system.
Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
Gold prospecting using Remote Sensing ‘A case study of Sudan’IJERD Editor
Gold has been extracted from northeast Africa for more than 5000 years, and this may be the first
place where the metal was extracted. The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian
crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea. The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. ANS
includes the nations of Israel, Jordan. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.
Arabian Nubian Shield Consists of juvenile continental crest that formed between 900 550 Ma, when intra
oceanic arc welded together along ophiolite decorated arc. Primary Au mineralization probably developed in
association with the growth of intra oceanic arc and evolution of back arc. Multiple episodes of deformation
have obscured the primary metallogenic setting, but at least some of the deposits preserve evidence that they
originate as sea floor massive sulphide deposits.
The Red Sea Hills Region is a vast span of rugged, harsh and inhospitable sector of the Earth with
inimical moon-like terrain, nevertheless since ancient times it is famed to be an abode of gold and was a major
source of wealth for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs old workings have been periodically
rediscovered through time. Recent endeavours by the Geological Research Authority of Sudan led to the
discovery of a score of occurrences with gold and massive sulphide mineralizations. In the nineties of the
previous century the Geological Research Authority of Sudan (GRAS) in cooperation with BRGM utilized
satellite data of Landsat TM using spectral ratio technique to map possible mineralized zones in the Red Sea
Hills of Sudan. The outcome of the study mapped a gossan type gold mineralization. Band ratio technique was
applied to Arbaat area and a signature of alteration zone was detected. The alteration zones are commonly
associated with mineralization. The alteration zones are commonly associated with mineralization. A filed check
confirmed the existence of stock work of gold bearing quartz in the alteration zone. Another type of gold
mineralization that was discovered using remote sensing is the gold associated with metachert in the Atmur
Desert.
Reducing Corrosion Rate by Welding DesignIJERD Editor
The paper addresses the importance of welding design to prevent corrosion at steel. Welding is
used to join pipe, profiles at bridges, spindle, and a lot more part of engineering construction. The
problems happened associated with welding are common issues in these fields, especially corrosion.
Corrosion can be reduced with many methods, they are painting, controlling humidity, and also good
welding design. In the research, it can be found that reducing residual stress on the welding can be
solved in corrosion rate reduction problem.
Preheating on 500oC and 600oC give better condition to reduce corosion rate than condition after
preheating 400oC. For all welding groove type, material with 500oC and 600oC preheating after 14 days
corrosion test is 0,5%-0,69% lost. Material with 400oC preheating after 14 days corrosion test is 0,57%-0,76%
lost.
Welding groove also influence corrosion rate. X and V type welding groove give better condition to reduce
corrosion rate than use 1/2V and 1/2 X welding groove. After 14 days corrosion test, the samples with
X welding groove type is 0,5%-0,57% lost. The samples with V welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is
0,51%-0,59% lost. The samples with 1/2V and 1/2X welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is 0,58%-
0,71% lost.
Router 1X3 – RTL Design and VerificationIJERD Editor
Routing is the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination and enables messages
to pass from one computer to another and eventually reach the target machine. A router is a networking device
that forwards data packets between computer networks. It is connected to two or more data lines from different
networks (as opposed to a network switch, which connects data lines from one single network). This paper,
mainly emphasizes upon the study of router device, it‟s top level architecture, and how various sub-modules of
router i.e. Register, FIFO, FSM and Synchronizer are synthesized, and simulated and finally connected to its top
module.
Active Power Exchange in Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) At Third Ha...IJERD Editor
This paper presents a component within the flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family, called
distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC)
with an eliminated common dc link. The DPFC has the same control capabilities as the UPFC, which comprise
the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. The active power exchange
between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the
transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC multiple small-size single-phase converters which
reduces the cost of equipment, no voltage isolation between phases, increases redundancy and there by
reliability increases. The principle and analysis of the DPFC are presented in this paper and the corresponding
simulation results that are carried out on a scaled prototype are also shown.
Mitigation of Voltage Sag/Swell with Fuzzy Control Reduced Rating DVRIJERD Editor
Power quality has been an issue that is becoming increasingly pivotal in industrial electricity
consumers point of view in recent times. Modern industries employ Sensitive power electronic equipments,
control devices and non-linear loads as part of automated processes to increase energy efficiency and
productivity. Voltage disturbances are the most common power quality problem due to this the use of a large
numbers of sophisticated and sensitive electronic equipment in industrial systems is increased. This paper
discusses the design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improvement of power quality and
reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive loads. Power quality problem is occurring at non-standard
voltage, current and frequency. Electronic devices are very sensitive loads. In power system voltage sag,
swell, flicker and harmonics are some of the problem to the sensitive load. The compensation capability
of a DVR depends primarily on the maximum voltage injection ability and the amount of stored
energy available within the restorer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at
medium voltage. A fuzzy logic control is used to produce the gate pulses for control circuit of DVR and the
circuit is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Study on the Fused Deposition Modelling In Additive ManufacturingIJERD Editor
Additive manufacturing process, also popularly known as 3-D printing, is a process where a product
is created in a succession of layers. It is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.
Unlike conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed from a given work price to derive the
final shape of a product, 3-D printing develops the product from scratch thus obviating the necessity to cut away
materials. This prevents wastage of raw materials. Commonly used raw materials for the process are ABS
plastic, PLA and nylon. Recently the use of gold, bronze and wood has also been implemented. The complexity
factor of this process is 0% as in any object of any shape and size can be manufactured.

Secure Image Transmission for Cloud Storage System Using Hybrid SchemeIJERD Editor
- Data over the cloud is transferred or transmitted between servers and users. Privacy of that
data is very important as it belongs to personal information. If data get hacked by the hacker, can be
used to defame a person’s social data. Sometimes delay are held during data transmission. i.e. Mobile
communication, bandwidth is low. Hence compression algorithms are proposed for fast and efficient
transmission, encryption is used for security purposes and blurring is used by providing additional
layers of security. These algorithms are hybridized for having a robust and efficient security and
transmission over cloud storage system.
Application of Buckley-Leverett Equation in Modeling the Radius of Invasion i...IJERD Editor
A thorough review of existing literature indicates that the Buckley-Leverett equation only analyzes
waterflood practices directly without any adjustments on real reservoir scenarios. By doing so, quite a number
of errors are introduced into these analyses. Also, for most waterflood scenarios, a radial investigation is more
appropriate than a simplified linear system. This study investigates the adoption of the Buckley-Leverett
equation to estimate the radius invasion of the displacing fluid during waterflooding. The model is also adopted
for a Microbial flood and a comparative analysis is conducted for both waterflooding and microbial flooding.
Results shown from the analysis doesn’t only records a success in determining the radial distance of the leading
edge of water during the flooding process, but also gives a clearer understanding of the applicability of
microbes to enhance oil production through in-situ production of bio-products like bio surfactans, biogenic
gases, bio acids etc.
Gesture Gaming on the World Wide Web Using an Ordinary Web CameraIJERD Editor
- Gesture gaming is a method by which users having a laptop/pc/x-box play games using natural or
bodily gestures. This paper presents a way of playing free flash games on the internet using an ordinary webcam
with the help of open source technologies. Emphasis in human activity recognition is given on the pose
estimation and the consistency in the pose of the player. These are estimated with the help of an ordinary web
camera having different resolutions from VGA to 20mps. Our work involved giving a 10 second documentary to
the user on how to play a particular game using gestures and what are the various kinds of gestures that can be
performed in front of the system. The initial inputs of the RGB values for the gesture component is obtained by
instructing the user to place his component in a red box in about 10 seconds after the short documentary before
the game is finished. Later the system opens the concerned game on the internet on popular flash game sites like
miniclip, games arcade, GameStop etc and loads the game clicking at various places and brings the state to a
place where the user is to perform only gestures to start playing the game. At any point of time the user can call
off the game by hitting the esc key and the program will release all of the controls and return to the desktop. It
was noted that the results obtained using an ordinary webcam matched that of the Kinect and the users could
relive the gaming experience of the free flash games on the net. Therefore effective in game advertising could
also be achieved thus resulting in a disruptive growth to the advertising firms.

“MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to Extract Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chrom...IJERD Editor
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool “MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract
Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chromosome” can extract both Perfect as well as Imperfect Microsatellites from large
data sets of human genome „Y‟. The proposed system uses string matching with sliding window approach to
locate Microsatellites and extracts them.
Importance of Measurements in Smart GridIJERD Editor
- The need to get reliable supply, independence from fossil fuels, and capability to provide clean
energy at a fixed and lower cost, the existing power grid structure is transforming into Smart Grid. The
development of a smart energy distribution grid is a current goal of many nations. A Smart Grid should have
new capabilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. This new era
of smart future grid will lead to major changes in existing technologies at generation, transmission and
distribution levels. The incorporation of renewable energy resources and distribution generators in the existing
grid will increase the complexity, optimization problems and instability of the system. This will lead to a
paradigm shift in the instrumentation and control requirements for Smart Grids for high quality, stable and
reliable electricity supply of power. The monitoring of the grid system state and stability relies on the
availability of reliable measurement of data. In this paper the measurement areas that highlight new
measurement challenges, development of the Smart Meters and the critical parameters of electric energy to be
monitored for improving the reliability of power systems has been discussed.
Study of Macro level Properties of SCC using GGBS and Lime stone powderIJERD Editor
One of the major environmental concerns is the disposal of the waste materials and utilization of
industrial by products. Lime stone quarries will produce millions of tons waste dust powder every year. Having
considerable high degree of fineness in comparision to cement this material may be utilized as a partial
replacement to cement. For this purpose an experiment is conducted to investigate the possibility of using lime
stone powder in the production of SCC with combined use GGBS and how it affects the fresh and mechanical
properties of SCC. First SCC is made by replacing cement with GGBS in percentages like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and
by taking the optimum mix with GGBS lime stone powder is blended to mix in percentages like 5, 10, 15, 20 as
a partial replacement to cement. Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 30% GGBS and 15%
limestone powder gives maximum compressive strength and fresh properties are also in the limits prescribed by
the EFNARC.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract:- Purpose: This study examines the effects of atmospheric pollution emanating from transport
infrastructure on human health in mega cities of INDIA(in particular study of DELHI ,capital city of INDIA
and HYDERABAD, capital city of TELANGANA state) .
The paper makes an absorbing quest for the creation of a sustainable transport environment in Indian
megacities along with a detailed investigation of the existing problems in health by motorized transport system.
Thus the scheme of this paper is to examine the extent of the problem and to suggest remedial measures.
Primary and secondary data were used for this research. The primary source involves the use of structured
questionnaires to elicit information on the effects of transport pollutants in the study area. The secondary data
was obtained from government periodicals, unpublished theses and journals. Analytical and statistical
techniques have been used for interpretation and data representation.
Findings: - The findings revealed that the transport sector has contributed significantly to the
emissions of toxic substances into the atmosphere. High demand for used automobiles has increased the
emission of toxic substance into the atmosphere, which is inimical to human health in the study area. An
estimated 32% of the traffic police personnel in Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, the fifth largest
metropolitan city in India, suffer from lung related disorders including pneumonia and bronchitis(an India
Today report).Many of the residents have been affected by eye irritations, blurred vision lung cancer and many
other related diseases.
The high rate of smoke emissions from automobiles in the city has adverse effects on the health of the
inhabitants of Hyderabad and many other similar cities in India. Many surveys reveals that 45% of the
respondents claimed that they have transport-related diseases in the city. It is pertinent to note that 50% of the
respondents who claimed that they have transport-related health challenges have eye problems, approximately
16% has asthma and the same percentage has skin-burn diseases. In addition 8% and 5% of the patients claimed
that they have upper respiratory tract infections and hypertension respectively. Only 2% of respondents
indicated that they have hearing impairment resulting from unpleasant sounds emanating from indiscriminate
use of horns by motorists and record players.
Obviously, many of these diseases occur as a result of exhaust from automobiles, combustion activities
of industries, and dust particles, as well as smoke from the burning of fossil fuels.
The interview with the health officers at the General hospital in Hyderabad revealed that the patients who live
close to transport hubs/polluted areas have accumulated severe respiratory ailments over the years. The high rate
of temperature changes in the city has aggravated the health challenges faced by these people due to the
depletion of the ozone layer, which invariably affects the terrestrial radiation received on the earth’s surface. On
several occasions , many of the people living or working very close transport hubs/heavy traffic complained
severe headaches, fatigue and body irritation. This suggests that the emission of toxic substances into the
atmosphere in not restricted to a particular geographical area because of the general circulation of air. Many
reports indicates that approximately 50% of the respondents who either work or live a distance of less than 100
meters from the transport hubs claimed that they have health challenges related to transport diseases in the study
area. Another 30% of those transport hubs indicated that they have had similar health problems within the last
six years. A significant proportion of responding households who reside beyond 200 meters from the transport
hubs claimed that they also have health challenges related to transport diseases in the study area. This is an
indication of the distance decay effect of the proportion of people with health challenges in relation to the
proximity of their residence to the heavy traffic flow.
Approximately more than 45% of the respondents claimed that they have transport related diseases
such as asthma, eye problems and upper respiratory tract infections in the city . The study concluded that there is
a need to reduce trips through integration of land uses and transportation planning , and more importantly , there
is a need to shift to more energy – efficient modes. Despite the strict regulations imposed on the importation of
used vehicles into the country , the data obtained from the INDIA Licensing Office showed that the importation
of automobile vehicles into Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad ,…( which do not meet the emission standards of
advanced countries) has increased tremendously over the years. Similarly , reliable data from the statistical

records of INDIA revealed that the rate of emission of toxic substances has increased over the past decade
because of the discharge of pollutants from transport infrastructure.

I. INTRODUCTION
Personal mobility is a significant aspect of any space economy. In addition to being an expression of an
individual’s free will, mobility takes place with the view to overcoming friction of distance and movement to
different activity centers located in urban centers. For instance, trips to work, schools, markets, recreational
centers and banks are undertaken in order to procure such services located in urban spaces. The segregation
between residential areas and different land uses owing to the high rate of urbanization in towns and cities in
Asian countries, in particular INDIA, has led to high travel demands, which rely mostly on automobiles with
complex traffic on urban routes . The resultant effects are traffic congestion, emission of toxic substances and
frequent accidents on highways.
Studies have show that transport is a major contribution to the emission of greenhouse effects and
perhaps carbon dioxide(CO2) is growing faster in the transportation sector than in any other sector, and its
effects on the health of people, community values and environmental ecology are very severe.
In last DECADE, transport accounted for 3.298 of global greenhouse gas emission while 72% of global
CO2 emissions from fuel combustion are transport –related(refer from: global warming: a close look at
numbers).
Studies have shown that the developed countries are largely responsible for the largest share of
greenhouse gas emission from the transport sector, and emissions from third world countries are growing
rapidly. All surveys & journals says that transport-related particles, particularly carbon monoxide(CO)
emissions are expected to increase by 57% worldwide in the period 2010-2030; In a related study, observed that
some of the current green house gas emission in the transport sector and virtually all the expected growth in
emissions come from private cars, light duty vehicles, cabs and trucks. The study affirmed that ozone
concentration in the atmosphere is largely caused by the transport sector.
Theoretical framework and literature review:
Studies have shown that approximately half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas
compared with only 15% in 1950. Similarly, more than 70% of the world’s megacities will be found in
developing countries. The increase in urbanization has led to high travel demands as people keep in touch with
each other and require prompt accessibility to places in the urban environment, resulting in serious traffic
congestion, green house gas emissions and other environmental hazards. In India, urban traffic congestion is
characterized by many poorly maintained and sometimes unserviceable imported vehicles. The effect of the
emission of toxic substances (CO and hydrocarbons ) from the transport sector has prompted the proponent
urbanism to advocate for integration of transportation planning into land use. The new urbanism movement
proposed a reintegration of residential, recreational, employment –generating organization and commercials.
The poor economic status of many Indians attitudes towards the importation of used vehicles in India have been
largely responsible for the emission of toxic substances such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, Pb and sulphur
dioxide , which are very harmful to human health. Transport is responsible for most of the lead(Pb)
concentrations which appear in the bloodstream of urban dwellers. Undoubtedly, transport-related air pollution
has been found to be more severe over congested urban streets where pollutants may produce conditions that are
harmful to human health. Much research on the external effects of transportation reveals that the importation of
automobiles to the country creates more havoc to human life in terms of congestion, accidents and emission to
toxic substances(CO, Pb, and So2)which are detrimental to human health.
In studies have shown that approximately one third of a vehicle’s lifetime emission stems from the
manufacturing process of vehicles, which has an adverse effect on the environment. In the light of this
observation, it is highly imperative to examine the consequences of the high travel demands of urban residents
in automobiles in metropolitan cities with a view to improving their mobility patterns.
The Study Area:
Hyderabad is a typical city in Andhra Pradesh, which has experienced a high rate of urbanization over
the past three decades. Like many urban centers in India, Hyderabad grew organically without any form of
master planning . Many of the intra-city roads in this area are too narrow to accommodate vehicular traffic,
which invariably makes mobility temporarily difficult during the rainy season. The situation in low-density

areas of the city is different from that of the urban region because the former are well-planned and occupied
mostly by high income earners and top civil servants. The land use arrangement in Hyderabad metropolitan is
greatly affected by movement patterns of urban residents in the city. For instance, many of the employment–
generating organizations generate more trips than area of the city that are mainly for residential purposes. The
daily commuting to different activity centers in mixed land use areas generates more complex traffic hazards,
such as noise pollution and emissions of toxic substances to the urban environment, which is inimical to human
health.. Many of the intra-city routes are poorly designed and maintained. Some of the inhabitants are low-
income earners who cannot afford to buy new automobiles to enhance their daily commuting. The resultant
effects are that many of the urban residents in the city depend on either public or private vehicles .For their day-
to-day transactions, which culminates in the emission of toxic substance into the atmosphere.
II. METHODOLOGY
Primary and secondary data were used for this research. The primary source involves the use of
structured questionnaires to elicit information on the effects of transport pollutants in the study area. The
respondents were asked to indicate the distance of their residence/work places to the transport hub, transport
network connecting their residential units/ work places, mode of transport embarked upon most frequently,
types of pollution experienced in their area, nature of health challenges experienced as a result of transport
emissions and many other questions. Secondary data were obtained from government periodicals, unpublished
theses, journals, etc. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as Pearson’s product moment correlation analysis
were used to analyze strength of the relationship between the massive importation of automobiles in Hyderabad
and emission of toxic substances into the atmosphere. Similarly , a regression analysis was used to examine the
relationship between the geographical location of respondents places of work to the transport hub, and
household’s challenges to transport related diseases within the last five years.
III. RESULT OF THE ANALYSIS;
The findings revealed that 7,243,564 vehicles were registered in India in the year 2004 and due to high
travel demand for automobiles, this figure increase tremendously increased to 17,916,035 in 2010 .Following
Tables reveals that the number of registered vehicles has increased from 2003 to 2011.

IV. OFFICIAL FIGURE
The type of pollution experienced in a geographical area varies over time and space and depends
mostly on the transport infrastructure present. In this context, pollution refers to harmful substances released
into the atmosphere, which can be in the form of dust and smoke from automobiles. The Pollution Control
Board’s surveys point out that HYDERABAD CITY have recorded air and noise levels way beyond the
standard permissible limits. It has air quality registered a Respirable Suspended particulate Matter(RSPM) of
aggregate of 97microgram per cubic meter. According to official figures, the total vehicular pollution load in
Hyderabad had gone up from 528 tones in 1992 to 1,246 tones per day in 2006. This has now gone up to more
than 1,500 tones per day. Again citing the department sources, the report went on to say that the total number of
vehicles operating in Hyderabad city as on August 31, 2012 stood at 25.8 lakhs , but if the sub-urban area of
Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation were also taken into consideration , the total number of vehicles was
more than 35 lakh. Of them,74% were two-wheelers, while 15% were cars and 3% were auto-rickshaws.
Interestingly, Department of Environmental Toxicology of Institute of Genetics under
Osmania University also conducted a study three years ago on the impact of vehicular exhaust on the traffic
policemen in the city. The study revealed that the traffic cops are vulnerable to cytogenetic changes due to
chromosomal mutations, if they are exposed to high levels of pollution and that would lead to enhanced risk of
suffering from cancer.. The main polluting vehicles ,according to the officials were auto – rickshaws , state –
run RTC buses, vehicles of more than 15-20 year old and government transport vehicles.al pledge Conditional
pledge Current
The respondents who indicated that they experienced pollution caused by exhaust vehicular movement
claimed that they live or work very close to the transport hub in the city. The high demand for used vehicles has
increased the emission of toxic substances into the atmosphere in the study area. At the aggregate level of all
7. Transportation and Its Health Implications in India
73
pollutants, It is pertinent to note that the rate of importation of used automobiles is highly positively correlated
with the rate of emission of toxic substances.
Seeking solutions to air pollution, congestion, and climate:
An uneven distribution pattern of socio-economic facilities in urban centers in Hyderabad generate a
considerable volume of movement between residential areas to other different land uses, and this requires
automobile transport to meet the other different land uses, and this requires automobile transport to meet the
travel demand of urban residents in Hyderabad. Incidentally, some of the imported vehicles used for these
services do no meet the emission standards of the western world. The emissions from the exhaust pipes of
automobiles wreak havoc on the health of the people in the city. There is a need to re design the master plan of
the city to improve the mobility characteristics of the urban residents. There is also a need to review the
transport policy in the country and encourage people to commute via a non-automobile mode of transport,
substances that are harmful to human health.
Some of the Environmentalists play vital role for service, one of them is CSE, DELHI.
Centre for science and Environment (CSE) organized a roundtable discussion on “Transport and
climate: building an agenda for action” along with the Global Partnership on Sustainable , Low Carbon
Transport in New Delhi on November 18,2009.This brought together experts, policy makers, and civil society
groups to discuss the climate imperatives of the transportation sector. The partnership on Sustainable, Low
Carbon transport in a multi-stakeholder membership representing development organizations, intergovernmental
organizations, governmental organizations, NGOs, private sector, and academe. This is hosted by agencies
including Asian Development Bank. Its aim on sustainable, low carbon transport to combat climate change.CSE
is a member of this partnership.
The roundtable stimulated debate on the role of the transportation in climate mitigation and imperatives and
opportunities of the developing regions. Solutions to this problem can emerge from a deeper understanding of
the diversity of issues and of local mobility imperatives in the region.
Remedial Measures for sustainable Transport Systems:
1. Design and development of modern and sophisticated bus transport system
2. Implement the metro railway system
3. Construction of segregated bicycle lanes in all roads in mega cities.
4. Strict control the speed of all vehicles to prevent noise pollution
V. CONCLUSION
The high demand for automobile trips in developing cities in INDIA has led to complex traffic
congestion, frequent accidents and emissions of harmful substances such as CO, SO2,and Pb into the
atmosphere. This has resulted in widespread transport-related diseases in many urban centers in developing
countries of the world such as India, who depend on the importation of automobiles that do not meet the
emission standards of the western world. This type of problem had earlier been experienced in the Asian
countries, particularly in China, and they encouraged the use of non–motorized modes of transport for their day-
to-day transactions to minimize the congestion in their cities. The INDIA government should encourage their
citizens to adopt the use of less energy efficient modes to transportation for their demands as the use of these
modes emits less harmful substances into the atmosphere. There should be constant public enlightenment on the
risks involved for the people living or working close to the transport hubs. This study concludes that the use of
light rail should be introduced for urban mobility in the major urban centers in India and other similar cities in
developing countries of the world.
