Abstract
In 1742, Goldbach claimed that each even number can be shown by two primes.
In 1937, Vinograd of Russian Mathematician proved that each odd large
number can be shown by three primes. In 1930, Lev Schnirelmann proved that
each natural number can be shown by M-primes. In 1973, Chen Jingrun proved
that each odd number can be shown by one prime plus a number that has
maximum two primes. In this article, we state one proof for Goldbach‘s
conjecture.

Abstract—
Nowadays social networking sites have become so popular that the producers or
the sellers look for these sites as one of the best options to target the right
audience to market their products. There are several tools available to monitor or
analyze the social networks. Our task is to identify the right community web pages
and find out the behavior analysis of the members by using these tools and
formulate an appropriate strategy to market the products or services to achieve the
set goals.
The advertising becomes more effective when the information of the product/
services come from a known source. The strategy explores great buying influence
in the audience on referral marketing. Our methodology proceeds with critical
budget analysis and promotes viral influence propagation. In this context, we
encompass the vital bits of budget evaluation such as the number of optimal seed
nodes or primary influential users activated onset, an estimate coverage spread of
nodes and maximum influence propagating distance from an initial seed to an end
node.
Our proposal for Buyer Prediction mathematical model arises from the urge to

perform complex analysis when the probability density estimates of reliable
criterions are not known or difficult to calculate. Order Statistics and Buyer
Prediction mapping function guarantee the selection of optimal influential users at
each level.
We exercise an efficient tactics of practicing community pages and user behavior
to determine the product enthusiasts on social networks. Our approach is
promising and should be an elementary choice when there is little or no prior
knowledge on the distribution of potential buyers on social networks. In this
strategy, product news propagates to influential users on or surrounding networks.
By applying the same technique, a user can search friends who are capable to
advise better or give referrals, if a product interests him.

A Study on Analytic Solution of Burger’s Equation arising in Longitudinal
Dispersion Phenomenon in Groundwater Flow
Shreekant Pathak
Abstract:
The present paper discusses an approximate solution of the Burger‘s equation
arising in longitudinal dispersion phenomenon in groundwater flow. In the
groundwater flow pure water displaced in longitudinal direction by salt water (or
contaminated water) form a non linear partial differential equation which is
known as of Burger`s equation. The longitudinal dispersion phenomenon may be
rise in miscible or immiscible fluid flow through porous media. The problem of
miscible displacement can be seen in the coastal areas, where fresh water beds are
gradually moved by salt water (sea water). Longitudinal dispersion phenomenon
plays an important role to control salinity of the soil in seashore region. We use
the optimal homotopy analysis method based on the homotopy analysis method to
solve the governing non-linear Burger`s equation and the numerical and graphical

Loadability of Friction Stir Welded joints of High Density Polyethylene
Ebtisam F. Abdel-Gwad
Abdel-Gwad, E.F1, Omar, A. and Radwan, A.H.
ABSTRACT
Development of effective welding methods for thermoplastics is still in high
demand. The new friction stir welding method is applied here on high density
polyethylene (HDPE) plates to provide the designer with reliable design data
relevant to room temperature practical applications because welded joints can act
as a failure initiation point. This may be a result of factors such as poor welding
parameters and presence of weld defects. The combination effect of travel and
rotational speeds of the welding tool is investigated. Tensile, impact and fatigue
tests are applied on the HDPE welded joints, in order to evaluate their load-ability.
The tool rotational speed, travel speed and tilt angle beside tool pin length are
proved determined to be important in the joint formation quality and its
mechanical properties. Optimum welding parameters of 930 rpm rotation speed at
25mm/min travel speed are determined in tensile, impact and fatigue testing. An
optimum value of about 90% joint efficiency is achieved in tensile test, compared
to the base material. In impact and fatigue tests, brittle failure due to presence of
incomplete root penetration defect, takes place like a crack starter. Maximum
impact strength of about 20 KJ/m2 and fatigue life of 710 cycles are recorded
respectively, which are too low compared to the base material. The final results
indicate that friction stir welding of HDPE thermoplastics may be a valid
alternative to the conventional joining techniques after elimination of the weld
root defect

Abstract
A sustainable neighborhood is a form of real traditional neighborhood, which
meets those same needs for housing, work places, shopping, civic functions but in
format that are compact, complete and connected, and ultimately more sustainable
and satisfying. This paper identify the problems and the conflicting interests,
defines the key terms of the sustainability, exposes the whole concept of
neighborhood and examines unsustainability of current development trends. In
this paper effort has been made to develop theories and principles of
neighborhood planning, systematically reviews the reasons for wanting
neighborhoods, drawing on social arguments to do with health and community as
well as environmental arguments, in addition focuses on the size, shape, linkage
and internal structuring of neighborhood, with very clear recommendations for

Metabolism of starch in pollen expressing β-glucosidase activity
Professor Bright Chima Megbo
Abstract
Fifty percent of the pollen population from the plants expressing the β-glucosidase
was found to be sterile. The pollen development was divided into six development
stages/phases which correlated with distinct cytological characteristics. On the
basis of microscopic and histochemical studies, using X-glc (5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-
indolyl-β-D-glycopyranoside) as substrate, β-glucosidase activity was found in
half the pollen of the transgenic tobacco plants.
The aim of this work was to describe the dynamics of starch metabolism in the
developing pollen of positive plants (i.e. plants expressing Zm-p60.1 in the leaf)
in comparison to that of the negative plants (i.e. plants not expressing Zm-p60.1 in
the leaf), in order to elucidate the possible role of Zm-p60.1 in starch metabolism.
Detection of the β-glucosidase (Zm-p60.1) was achieved using β-glucosidase
histochemical and biochemical assays. The activities of selected enzymes of
sucrose metabolism (UDPG-pyrophosphorylase) and starch metabolism (ADPG-
pyrophosphorylase, starch-phosphorylase, and amylase) were biochemically
analyzed.
In the course of this work, the dynamics of starch metabolism in the pollen was
studied. Histochemical studies with potassium iodide revealed that 50% of the
pollen of the positive plants (i.e. tobacco plants expressing β-glucosidase activity)
exhibited normal starch accumulation. Biochemical determination of starch
revealed that the pollen expressing Zm-p60.1 contained significantly lower
amount of starch in comparison to the pollen from negative plants (i.e. tobacco
plants not expressing β-glucosidase activity). About 50% of the pollen population
expressing Zmp-60.1 has decreased starch content. The same starchless pollen
exhibited β-glucosidase activity.

Abstract
The mechanical properties and morphological analysis of Al6061-Red mud
particulate composites was investigated. The compositions of the composite
include a matrix of Al6061 and the red mud particles of 53-75 micron size as
reinforcement ranging from 0% to 12% at an interval of 2%. Stir casting technique
was used to fabricate Al6061-Red mud composites. Density measurement,
estimation of percentage porosity, tensile properties, fracture toughness, hardness
value, impact energy, percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area.
Further, the microstructures and SEM examinations were investigated to
characterize the composites produced. The result shows that a uniform dispersion
of the red mud particles along the grain boundaries of the Al6061 alloy. The
tensile strength and hardness values increases with the addition of Red mud
particles, but there is a slight decrease in the impact energy values, values of
percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area as the reinforcement
increases. From these results of investigation, we concluded that the red mud, an
industrial waste can be used to enhance the properties of Al6061 alloy for
engineering applications.

Abstract:
Kabul city (Capital of Afghanistan) is one of the fastest growing cities in the
world. Kabul city is suffering from the high traffic congestion which is the result
of the dramatic increase in population and economy of Kabul city in the last
decade. The person trip (PT) survey of Kabul city was done by Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) in 2008 for developing the master plan of Kabul city.
In this paper the JICA‘s PT survey data has been used. The private transportation
demand has been formulated using macroscopic models. Additional survey has
been done in one of the most congested intersection of Kabul city and the data of
this survey has been used for microscopic transportation capacity analysis.
The results indicate that in the short term period, private transportation demand is
less than physical capacity of road network in Kabul city. Thus there is no need to
increase the capacity of Kabul city road network or introduce any new
transportation link. Unpaved and unmanaged Kabul road network has reduced the
actual capacity of the road network. For the long term highly congested
intersections has been demonstrated and analyzed. In order to increase the
capacity of intersections in Kabul city, the method of changing the roundabout
intersections to signalized intersections has been analyzed and cost benefit
analysis has been calculated.
The results of this research show that in order to tackle congestion: In the short
term period the actual capacity should be increase to reach the physical capacity of
road network. In the long term period the capacity of highly congested
intersections can be improved by changing from round about to signalized
intersections. Macroscopic and microscopic analysis was done to provide more
accurate and reasonable results in this study, but yet required detailed calibration
for each intersection.

ABSTRACT
Investigations were carried out on the biodegradation properties of
low density polyethylene, modified with different concentrations by
mass of corn-starch. Convectional Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is
widely used in all fields of life, therefore constitute the greatest
municipal waste products, due to their inertness to biological
attack, moisture, and weather conditions. Corn-starch which is a
biofiller was characterized to ensure it‘s suitability in the blending
of synthetic plastics like LDPE. The percentage yield, moisture
content, ash content, iodine tests, etc were carried out on the
extracted starch. The blended polyethylene sheets were injection
moulded at 150 0C after mixing 0, 2.50, 5.00, 7.50, 10.00, 12.50,
and 15.00 wt. % by mass of the starch with known weight of low
density polyethylene pellets. Mechanical and percentage weight-loss
properties of the corn-starch modified low density polyethylene
were investigated before and after soil burial test. The evidence of
biodegradation was exhibited on the reduced tensile strength,
elongation at break, increased water absorption and other properties
of the blended films as against the pure LDPE.

Because smoke and air follow the same path; therefore, the design strategy of
those two interacting systems requires great coordination and incorporation from
the architect to be intertwined while avoiding any potential conflict. Knowing the
impact of those design decisions on air and smoke flow patterns would help
architects to design safe buildings by making the right design decisions. This
paper characterizes the safe design process and introduces a new approach to help
architects to design safe buildings. This approach is based on determining a set of
architectural design decisions that affect the natural air and smoke movement
through a critical insight and data interpretation of the published work.

by the quantity and source of nutrients. At present, these nutrients are primarily
supplied through chemical fertilizers. The indiscriminate use and complete
reliance on the use of chemical fertilizers has also led to deterioration of the soil
health, thereby affecting sustainable flower production. Keeping these points in
view, a field experiment was conducted on African marigold cv. ‗Orange
Culcuttia‘ at the Horticultural Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Agricultural
University, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Block Design with three replications and twelve treatment
combinations comprising of bio-organics (Cow Urine and Vermicompost), bio-
fertilizers (Azospirillum and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria) and NPK fertilizers.
Application of Azospirillum + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria + 5% Cow Urine +
50% Recommended Dose of ‗N‘ through Vermicompost + 50% Recommended
Dose of Fertilizer was found to be more effective in increasing the vegetative
growth parameters viz., plant height, number of branches, plant spread as well as
flower yield parameters like, number of flowers, flower diameter, fresh and dry
weight of flower, flower yield, flowering duration, shelf life and also maximum
benefit cost ratio. Thus, use of inorganic fertilizers conjointly with bio-fertilizers
and organic manures resulted in better vegetative growth and flower yield
attributes in marigold.
Key words: Azospirillum, bio-fertilizer, cow urine, marigold, vermicompost.

ABSTRACT
Remote sensing and GIS technology have become more accessible to the general
scientific communities. Resource satellite imageries are obtainable from various
space agencies with wide range of spectral, spatial, radiometric and temporal
resolutions. Malaysia for example has its own ground receiving station that can
continuously receive satellite images it subscribed which can be made available to
the public. The disturbance and depletion of natural resources within the water
catchments areas can have dire consequences to the flow regime of a river system.
Various studies have indicated that removal of forest and vegetation can lead to
extreme flow regime with higher flood flow and lower drought flow. The
consequences of such extreme high flow increase the frequency and magnitude of
flooding. On the other hand increase frequency of drought events will affect the
water supply situation. Hence controlling the land use pattern and greenness index
of the water catchments areas are very important in ensuring a more sustainable
and balance flow regime. Satellite imageries which can cover big area and which
are frequently available are the best tool to track changes within a water
catchments area. In this paper two methods of monitoring the changes and
auditing them have been used. The first one involves detecting the changes of
areas covered by forest, agriculture, pasture, urbanization, water bodies and bare
ground. This is complimented by detecting the denseness and health of the forest
and vegetation canopy through Normalized Density Vegetation Index.

Abstract—
The currently recurring global security insurgence has posed new opportunities for
the sporadic influx and deployment of Video Surveillance Systems. However,
videos captured by these systems are typically of low resolution. This challenge
greatly accounts for the failure of most existing video-based face recognition
systems. However, most existing promising solutions to this challenge are
computationally very expensive and inefficient for restoring continuous variation
region and suppressing blocky artifacts in real time. In this paper, a Pixel-level
Back-projected Maximum a Posteriori (PBM) super resolution reconstruction
technique for low quality surveillance video feeds is developed. Sparse and non-
sparse priors of Bayesian MAP were combined with a back projected spatial
domain method to realize appreciable denoising, edge and non-edge preserving
properties for super-resolved high resolution video frames in a computationally-
efficient manner. The performance of the developed PBM technique was
evaluated using Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Improvement in Signal to
Noise Ratio (ISNR). Results obtained using PBM technique show significant
improvements over other existing techniques in terms of quantitative and visual
qualities of the video sequences in a time-efficient manner.

Abstract
This paper represents the results of an experimental work on some properties of
high-strength concrete containing different levels of silica fume. Silica fume is an
ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy
production. A certain percentage of silica fume as a cement replacement, can
improve some properties of hardened concrete such as compressive strength,
flexural strength and impermeability. The main objective of the study was to
determine the optimum percentage of silica fume to replace cement in order to
improve the properties of the hardened high-strength concrete. To fulfill the
objective, some properties of concrete containing silica fume were evaluated after
7, 28 and 60 days of curing. Furthermore, comparison between regular concrete
and silica fume concrete containing different levels of silica fume replacement
(5%, 10% and 15%) was conducted. The water/binder ratio was kept constant at
0.3 throughout the mixing process. The results of this research work indicate that
compressive strength and flexural strength exhibited the highest improvement
with 10% and 15% silica fume replacement respectively. On the other hand,
according to Initial Surface Absorption Test (ISAT) results, 10% silica fume

Worldwide there is beginning of transition from a centralized energy system
largely based upon the fossil-fuel and nuclear-based power system delivering
electricity to passive consumers and centrally gas transmission system toward a
more decentralized energy (DE) system relying to a larger extent on small-scale
(sometimes intermittent) generation from renewable energy sources (RES) and
combined heat and power (CHP) units, allowing greater active participation of
consumers by becoming producers themselves and/or by smarter demand response
management of their own energy use. The drivers behind the changes are the need

Abstract
According to a report published in The Guardian, Kabul, the capital city
of Afghanistan is the fifth fastest growing city in the world, whose population has
increased fourfold since 2001 from 1.2 million to 4.8 million people. The main
reason of this increment is identified as the return of Afghans migrated during the
civil war. In addition to the return of immigrants, a steep economic growth due to
foreign assistance in last decade creating lots of job opportunities in Kabul
resulted in attraction of individuals from the neighboring provinces as well.
However, the development of urban facilities such as water supply system,
housing transportation and waste management systems has yet to catch up to this
rapid increase in population. Since Kabul city has developed traditionally and
municipal governance had very limited capacity to implement municipal bylaws.
As an unwanted consequence of this growth 70% of Kabul citizens contributed to
developing informal settlement for which we can say that around three million
people living in informal settled areas, lacking the very vital social and physical
infrastructures of livelihood.
This research focuses on a region with 30 ha area and 2100 people
residents in the center of Kabul city. A comprehensive land readjustment concept
plan has been formulated for this area. Through this concept plan physical and

social infrastructure has been demonstrated and analyzed.
Findings of this paper propose a solution for the problems of this
unplanned area in Kabul which is readjusting of unplanned area by a self-
supporting process. This process does not need governmental budget and can be
applied by government, private sectors and landowner associations. Furthermore
by implementing the Land Readjustment process, conceptual plans can be built for
unplanned areas, maximum facilities can be brought to the residents‘ urban life,
improve the environment for the users‘ benefit, promote the culture and sense of
cooperation, participation and coexistence in the mind of people, improving the
transport system, improvement in economic status (the value of land increases due
to infrastructure availability and land legalization). In addition to all these benefits
for the public, we can raise the revenue of government by collecting the taxes
from land owners. This process is implemented in most of countries of the world,
it was implemented for the first time in Germany and after that in in most cities of
Japan as well, and is known as one of the effective process for infrastructural
development.
To sum up, the notable characteristic of the Land readjustment process is that it
works on the concept of mutual interest in which both land owners and
government takes advantage. Though in this process, the engagement of
community is very important and without public cooperation this process can face
the failure.

Abstract
Bitumen is a mixture of organic liquids that is viscous, black and sticky.
It consists of a mixture of high boiling point hydrocarbons. It is deposited in
Agbabu, Ondo State, Nigeria. The Bitumen Ore was analyzed with high
technology equipment to identify trace elements and essentials hydrocarbons.
The analyzed hydrocarbons are precursors for the synthesis of drugs. The
establishment of pharmaceutical industries in Agbabu would reduce
unemployment among our graduates. It shows that there are opportunities in the
bitumen for the production of all sorts of petroleum products and natural gases
(including welding and cooking gases).
This study also investigates the Socio-economic and psychological
implications when the exploration of bitumen starts in Agbabu. The data was
analyzed using descriptive statistical method. The result shows that there is the
need to organize community meetings by government and policy makers to
proactively empathize with the social and psychological conditions of the host
community members and allay the fear of relocation and also to put in place
measures that would prevent insurgency in the community. It is recommended that
once a social and psychological profiling of the host community is completed,
then an Incremental Empowerment Initiative (IEI) could be put in place.

Abstract
With more than 10 million people being diagnosed with the disease every year, cancer
is a principal cause of distressing and death. Curcumin is a hydrophobic polyphenol
derived from the rhizome of the widely used spice. Curcuma longa in eastern world
possesses a wide spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities. Curcumin has
been studied in multiple human carcinomas including melanoma, breast, colon,
pancreatic, head and neck prostate and ovarian cancers(1). Several clinical trials have
already been performed for development of curcumin and its derivatives as a drug for
the treatment of various human cancers [2]. Thus with the aim of designing and
developing newer and effective agent, we have synthesized a series of curcumin
derivatives. Different curcumin derivatives were synthesised via click chemistry
process and screened by MTT assay on three prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3, DU-145
and LNCaP). Some compounds have shown very good activity than tamoxifen. Details
of experimental procedure, spectroscopic characterization and prostate cancer screening
will be presented during the meeting.

ABSTRACT
Packaging as one kind of composite product has been studied nowadays to be
partially substituted with natural materials to improve its degradability in order to
be environmental-friendly. Nanofiber cellulose derived from biomass has
recently gained attention to be applied as composite filler prior to its
biodegradable nature, low density, high mechanical properties, economic
value and renewability. Nanofiber was prepared using pineapple (Ananas
comosus) leaf waste as the raw material by acid hydrolysis using 64%wt H2SO4 in
40oC for 40 minutes. Nanocomposite film was produced by blending polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA), cellulose nanofiber as filler and glycerol as plasticizer. The effect
of varied nanofiber and plasticizer concentrations on the physical, mechanical and
morphological properties of nanocomposite film was evaluated. Peak shown in
FTIR graph would confirm acid hydrolysis in order to gain nano-sized fiber.
Influence of various nanofiber and glycerol content added to crystallinity was
analyzed by XRD value. SEM/TEM images would figure the size of nanofiber
produced and the sonication process role in cellulose fibrillation. The effect of
nanofiber and glycerol content on nanocomposite film moisture uptake was
revealed by WVTR analysis. Film light transmittance, tensile strength, elongation
at break and Young‘s modulus improvement were determined by UTM test. The
best formula selected aimed to be the most potential reinforcement selection in
packaging composite film application.

Abstract—
Microalgae are a good alternative to fossil fuel for energy generation.
Chlorella vulgaris (C.vulgaris) strain of the microalgae was cultivated on liquor
from chemically treated sewage sludge samples, to estimate the economic worth
of sludge liquor; from the anaerobic digestion of the generated biomass. Sample1
was conditioned with zetag66 polyelectrolyte (control sample), samples 2 and 3
were treated with lime at different concentrations and sample 4 was treated with
ferric chloride. Biomass yield (dry solids) was 1.36 kg/m3, 2.94 kg/m3, 1 kg/m3
and 0.87 kg/m3 for media 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The control had the highest
energy and economic worth per m3 of 3.07 kWh and £1.12 respectively. Media
from lime treatment had the same energy and economic worth per m3 of 2.51
kWh and £0.91 respectively. Media from ferric chloride treatment had the least
energy and economic worth per m3 of 1.81 kWh and £0.66 respectively. Sludge
liquor has potential for wealth creation and sustainable energy generation even
after chemical sludge treatment, when used to cultivate microalgae.

Advancement in the construction technology causing more comfort ability via
the application of CC (Contour Crafting) in building habitats
Sepideh Poustindouz- Wismar University- Germany
ABSTRAC
Contour Crafting (CC) is a computerized construction method that 3D Prints
large-scale structures directly from architectural CAD models. Walls are built up
by forming their outer surfaces via extrusion of a paste-like material, such as
concrete, and the use of a robotic trowel to provide a smooth contoured surface.
CC is a very flexible technique, capable of constructing aesthetically pleasing
―organic‖ curvilinear shapes as easily as ―boxy‖ rectilinear shapes; and, as such, it
has attracted strong interest from leading architects, but yet, there has been not
any architectural application through this innovation while CC is working within
geodesic aperture, especially in residential complex or houses building which are
the focal point application to which CC has been intended to be carried out. This
study would focus on the application of CC in residential made constructions and
aims to reach an innovation through which architectural connotations would be
merged in which conformability would be considered in the process of making
free form building structures, uses robotics, to fulfill the architectural concept of a
dwelling.
This integrated research utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methodology.
On one hand, we elaborate on the previous researches and studying in this state-
of –the art technology for flexible construction and we consider meta-synthesis
studying; on the other hand, we would consider numerical analysis in robotic
building construction while notifying a specific plan through which CC can be
developed and implemented under the human decision and as result sensational
and conceptual considerations would be raised. Implications lead to reach a
comprehensively brand new construction through which utilizing advanced
construction technology via CC and robotics is working, thhen we can behold then
grave principally accurate circulations in habitats would be aroused to deliver a
soothing circumstance in it.

The design and characterization of the InSe/BN heterojunction were investigated
by study of optical reflectance, transmittance, and absorbance spectra in the
incident wavelength range 300–1100 nm. Three absorption band edges related to
conduction–valence band splitting of 2.75, 1.49, and 3.90 eV were observed.
These bands shifted to 1.06 eV, 2.25 eV, and 3.85 eV on preparation of the
InSe/BN interface. Analysis of dielectric spectra in the frequency range 275–1000
THz revealed the presence of three main resonance peaks at 333, 308, and 280
THz for the InSe substrate and at 341, 316, and 286 THz for the InSe/BN
interface. The dispersion energy of the substrate increased from 27.43 eV to 33.77
eV on reparation of the InSe/BN interface. The quality factor of the
heterojunction was found to be three times greater than that of InSe. The device
seems to have potential, because the results suggest use of the heterojunction in
thin-film transistor and optical communication technology.

Abstract
This study investigated the current Building Information Modelling (BIM) trends
and practices in the UAE, particularly to shed light on a recently circulated Dubai
BIM mandate. Two sets of surveys were mailed to the AEC industry and the
corresponding academic sector within the UAE to collect up-to-date data on BIM
awareness and utilization. The surveys showed startling results concerning the
academic sector in the UAE where almost 70% of respondents were not aware of
the BIM mandate. Among the rest, even when aware, the majority of mechanical
and electrical engineering schools felt that BIM is not pertinent to their discipline.
Therefore, the response to offering BIM in their curriculum was substantially low
(35%). On the other hand, the industrial survey identified a large majority
(76.5%) of the AEC industry in the UAE are using BIM. The results clearly
indicate that the academia should include BIM in their curriculum to produce
qualified graduates to support the market. However, the academia is also faced
with several obstacles to implement BIM in their curriculum, where the main
pretext is that there is ―no room for new courses in existing curriculum‖.

demanding science to produce outstanding results while preserving many safety
concerns. It provides the revolutionary concept of environmentally benign
synthetic procedures. In this perspective, ionic liquids have gained excellent
reputation as a possible ‗green‘ substitute to more volatile organic solvents. Their
tunable polarity and recyclability potential along with negligible vapour pressure,
wide liquid ranges circumvent many of the problems associated with common
organic solvents. All these aspects promote the organic synthesis in Ionic liquids
and extend its applicability in many other areas too.
On the other hand Heterocyclic components are well known structural
motifs in many pharmaceutically active substances and natural products. Their
importance in medicinal chemistry accelerates their synthesis via greener and cost
effective manner.
In view of this, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) were found significant
class of tandem reactions owe to their extremely flexible and selective nature
which can be exploited for rapidly generating huge libraries of biologically
important molecules.
In the present work we collate the above mentioned understanding by
synthesizing hexahydro-1H-quinazoline-2-thiones and benzylidene-hexahydro-
1H-quinazolin-2-ones. This fulfils our interest of the development of competent
synthetic protocols for the synthesis of low molecular weight compounds by
employing the catalytic potential of ionic liquid in MCRs following the green
objectives for construction of heterocyclic rings.
The quinazolines have already been found to possess potential
antibacterial activity and can act as calcium antagonists, which make the current
study significant for the medicinal synthetic chemists as well.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium
(Mycobacterium tuberculosis) which has a predilection for lung tissue due to its
rich oxygen supply. The mycobacterial cell has a unique innate characteristic
which allows it to resist human immune systems and drug treatments, hence it is
one of the most difficult of all bacterial infections to treat, let alone to cure. At the
same time, multi-drug resistance TB (MDR-TB) caused by poorly managed TB
treatment, is a growing problem and requires the administration of expensive and
less effective second line drugs which take much longer treatment duration than
fist line drugs. Therefore, to acknowledge the issues of patients falling ill as a
result of inappropriate dosing of treatment and inadequate treatment
administration, a device with a fast response time coupled with enhanced
performance and increased sensitivity is essential. This study involved the
synthesis of electroactive platforms for application in the development of
nanobiosensors suitable for the appropriate dosing of clinically diagnosed patients
by promptly quantifying the levels of the TB drugs; Isonaizid and Ethambutol.
These nanobiosensor systems were developed on gold surfaces using the
izoenzyme N-acetyletransferase coupled to the cysteamine modified poly(8-
anilino-1-napthalene sulphonic acid)/zinc oxide nanocomposites. The
PANSA/ZnO nanocomposite and nanobiosensor platforms were characterised

The provision of secured and sustainable energy to match the advances in
technology as well as the teeming world's population is a very topical issue facing
the scientific community. From electric vehicles to micro-chips, lithium-ion
batteries are the power sources of choice. There is an urgent need therefore to
develop new materials for the various battery components. Lithium manganese
orthosilicate cathode is a high capacity cathode material for new generation
lithium ion cells. However, it suffers from low intrinsic electronic conductivity,
thus affecting its practical applications [1-2]. In this work, we present the results
of spectroscopic and electrochemical investigations conducted on Al2O3-
Li2MnSiO4-C nanocomposite which was prepared through a hydrothermal and
electrospinning synthetic protocols. The incorporation of Al2O3 to enhance the
properties of the orthosilcate cathode material is novel and preliminary findings

inhibition efficiency observed 94.91% at optimum concentration of inhibitor. The
inhibition was assumed to occur via adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the
metal surface. The adsorption of the extract component on the mild steel surface
obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The results obtained show that the
extract of the leaves of banana could serve as an effective inhibitor of the
corrosion of mild steel in sulphuric acid medium.

Abstract
Highly complex platform systems such as ships, land vehicles and aircraft often
require modifications and upgrades to some areas of the system during their long
service life. These engineering change projects are inherently ill-informed due to
the absence of an engineering baseline and undocumented operational changes.
Many of the decisions taken both at the early stages and throughout large scale
engineering projects are injudicious due to poor understanding of key risks and
their consequences. This leads to budget overruns, schedule impacts/delays,
technical failures and ultimately a disappointed customer. In order to develop a
sound strategy when undertaking complex projects, engineering organisations
need to fully understand what their risk profile is, so they can manage, mitigate or
even in some cases decline a task.
This research aims to develop a tool that will allow an organisation to better
understand the risks in a new project prior to and at early stages of the project. To
support the tool, a risk model based on generic enterprise architecture framework
is created to provide a risk profile quantitatively. By segmenting the enterprise
into three major sectors, it is possible to identify and visualise specifically what
are the key risk drivers and monitor them through the life of the project. The study
has been initially developed within the Engineering Support Services sector of the
Australian Naval Maritime environment, but it could equally be applied to other
countries, industries and disciplines.
The approach taken for this research consists of developing an understanding of
the risks of conducting large scale system upgrade projects within a commercial,
outcome based, contractual environment involving key stakeholders in the defence
industry and the government. The study investigates the current thinking on risk
and what contemporary methods, models and tools are used in these types of
organisations. Research was then conducted into the Australian naval maritime
environment to develop a theoretical model which could ameliorate the current
processes involved in understanding and managing risk through the project life
cycle.
One of the critical issues with this research is the ability of the risk model to be
able to account for the perceived subjectivity of risk assessment by specific
personnel, for example, those who are actually working on the project, compared
to those who are simply related may have a different set of imperatives to the
work. A questionnaire focusing on three recent major engineering projects has
been used to survey the perception and experience of a variety of stakeholders
involving in these projects while their memory is still fresh. The process has
highlighted some of the critical risks factors that require mitigation to prevent

project failure at the infancy of the projects.
This paper outlines the methodology used for producing the survey and
developing the risk model. The data generated from the risk survey is presented
by various methods of analysis to determine both meaningful and useful results.
Visualisation tools are also present which highlight, manage and control risks as a
project progresses through the life cycle. The outcomes of this analysis can then
be used as a basis to plan necessary risk mitigation actions that can significantly
reduce the risk of further complex engineering system projects.

ABSTRACT
The requirement of process demineralized water in almost every kind of chemical
plant is compulsory in present industrial age. The ground and surface water is
contaminated due to the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metals. The contents
of unwanted ions present in the water are required to be separated to use it in
process. So ion exchange is very much important for waste water
demineralization. The main focus in this research article is an evaluation of the
performance of Amberlite (Na) acid cation exchanger resin for the removal of
Calcium and Magnesium ions. The performance ability of this type of cation
exchange resin is analyzed and found to be about 91% for Calcium ions and 87%
for Magnesium ions. Moreover, the accumulation factors of potential unwanted
ions are also observed for different quantity of resin. By increasing the amount of
acid cation exchange resin in waste water, the accumulation of unwanted ions in
waste water samples decreased.

Abstract
ces With the development of machine dependent urban and rural human life,
continuous efforts have been put on the miniaturization of devices since the last
few decades. Nanotechnology has emerged as the most fascinating reply to this
requirement. Materials are being manipulated in very low dimension to exploit
their natural features up to maximum possible extent. Classical junction based
devices are also being reviewed for possible up gradation using advanced
nanomaterials and techniques. Kawazoe et al. set a remarkable victory in this
area with the development of CuAlO2 having chemically modulated valance
band. Followed by development of a number of identical delafossites, the
scarcity of natural p-type semiconductor mitigated partially and new era of
electronics started. However, those p-nanomaterials often showed inferior
performance by resulting high leakage current and improper ideality factor when
commercially assembled to heterojunction. Additionally transparency of the
electronic device was also a popular issue expected to be fulfilled by such novel
nano delafossites. Further scientific investigation in search of a newer Cu-
delafossite was therefore carried out which resulted into the fabrication of
CuBO2 showing wide band gap , good transparency and high room temperature
conductivity in pristine form. This novel material already showed its
multipurpose nature by performing as a photocatalyst, photoconductor and field
emitter, all in form of simple nanoparticles. Nanostructured CuBO2 with higher
aspect ratio was therefore highly demanded for even better features.
This was realized in hydrothermally synthesized CuBO2 nanocubes when they
showed extraordinary diodic behaviour when coupled with traditional ZnO
nanorods. This work represents the details of CuBO2 nanocubes synthesized for
the first time via an optimized hydrothermal route achieved by simple variation

of growth parameters like molar ratio and synthesis duration. Crystallographic
analyses of the samples were performed using XRD studies, whereas EDX
studies revealed the compositional information. Morphological features were
studied by FESEM and HRTEM where it was found that the growth duration
governs the morphology of the nanocubes and the same was composed of
thinner nanowires. Samples were tested for optical transmittance and the best
one in view of other characteristics was chosen for fabrication of p-CuBO2/n-
ZnO heterojunction which was further studied for I-V characteristics using
conducting AFM. The CuBO2 naocube/ZnO nanorods jeterojunction showed
excellent diode performance with negligible leakage current 0.04 nA and
ideality factor 1.03 and the results strengthens the potential application of nano
CuBO2 in future electronic nanodevices.

Abstract
In gas-phase combustion processes, the regeneration of free atoms and radicals in
chain propagation reactions enhances the diffusion flux of these species from the
flame zone. In flame propagation in tubular reactors and in filtration combustion,
this effect facilitates the access of chain carriers to the surface even at atmospheric
pressure, increases the role of heterogeneous reactions (primarily chain
termination), and enhances heat removal due to heterogeneous recombination.

With the anticipated increase in energy use and its implication toward sustainable
development, Malaysia has put renewable energy at the forefront of Malaysia‘s
energy policy to address environmental issues such as climate change and fossil
fuel depletion. Drawing from successful case-studies from around the globe,
Malaysia implemented its own version of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) mechanism in a
bid to achieve energy security and environmental prosperity. After three years of
success, the growth of the renewable energy market under FIT is under threat due
to the small size of the Renewable Energy Fund. Since FIT is funded by electricity
consumers, they would need to make a larger contribution to address the issue.
The question remains on whether the Malaysian public is willing to pay more.
Previous literatures from Europe suggested that large segments of the general
population are willing to pay for green electricity. More importantly, existing
literatures have mixed reviews on whether attitude towards environment affects
WTP. Using theory of planned behavior (TPC), the NIMBY (not-in-my-backyard)
attitude towards environment was highlighted in several studies, especially in
Malaysian literatures. The application of contingent valuation method (CVM) was
demonstrated in literatures from Europe and the United States. However,
Malaysian literatures lacks the use of CVM in their WTP investigations. Finally,
recommendation for future studies on WTP for green electricity in Malaysia was
put forth with an emphasis on the use of TPC and CVM approach. The outcome of
such study would give policy-makers the quantitative evidence to justify any
changes to the FIT funding structure in a bid to further enhance the growth of
renewable energy.

The objective of this paper is to show an explicit formulas of the Average
Run Length (ARL) for Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart
when observations are described by Moving Average order q (MA(q)) processes
with exponential white noise. The ARL is a traditional measurement of control
chart‘s performance, the expected number of observations taken from an in-
control process until the control chart falsely signals out-of-control is denoted by
ARL0. An ARL0 will be regarded as acceptable if it is large enough to keep the
level of false alarms at an acceptable level. A second common characteristic is the
expected number of observations taken from an out-of-control process until the
control chart signals that the process is out-of-control is denoted by ARL1. In
particular, the explicit analytical formulas for evaluating 0ARL and
1ARL be able
to get a set of optimal parameters which depend on a smoothing parameter ( )
and width of control limit ( b ) for designing EWMA chart with minimum of1ARL

Abstract
A series of Cr-substituted Ni-Zn ferrites; Ni0.8Zn0.2CrxFe2−xO4 (x = 0.0–1.0)
were prepared via oxalate decomposition route to characterize the effect of Cr-
substitution on structural, magnetic and electrical properties. The prepared
powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform
infrared (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD indicated
single-phase cubic ferrites. The lattice parameters (aExp) exhibited a gradual
decrease with increasing chromium, attributed to the smaller ionic radii of Cr3+
substituent. According to the obtained structural data, an appropriate cation
distribution was suggested and fortified through FT-IR spectroscopy besides
magnetic and electrical measurements. TEM image showed agglomerated cubic
crystals with an average size of about 20 nm. Vibrating sample magnetometer
(VSM) measurements indicated minimal hysteresis characteristic for soft
magnetic material. The decrease in saturation magnetization (Ms) with Cr-
substitution was discussed in view of Neel‘s two sub-lattice model. The change in
the coercivity with Cr-content was discussed in view of estimated cation
distribution and magnetization values. The obvious fall in the Curie temperature,
estimated from molar susceptibility measurements, with increasing Cr-
concentrations was assigned to the gradual replacement of Fe3+ ions on the
octahedral sites by paramagnetic Cr3+ ions. ac-conductivity as a function of both
frequency and absolute temperature exhibited a semi-conducting behavior. The
decrease in conductivity with increasing Cr-content was attributed to the
preferential occupation of Cr3+ ions by octahedral sites which replacing Fe3+
ions and limiting Fe2+–Fe3+ conduction.

Abstract
The bullwhip effect that occurs in supply chain leads to inefficiencies such as
excessive inventory and back orders. This study investigates supply chain of a
biomass. A simulation model using system dynamics approach is proposed to
study behaviors and relationships within the supply chain and to determine
variation of supply chain members demand related to end customer demand which
has known as Bullwhip Effect. The purpose of this study is to represent the
bullwhip effect in biomass supply chain by developing a system dynamics model
and then presenting an improvement policy for preventing or decreasing bullwhip
effect for supply chain members. We find that information sharing across the
supply chain vanishes bullwhip effect for retailer and supplier also decreases this
effect for distributor and manufacturer.

that is overly dependent on fossil fuels. In order to overcome this problem, many
countries are looking up to renewable energy to facilitate a transition into a
sustainable system. Development of renewable energy technologies poses a
problem because of higher costs and constraints to implementation when
compared to fuels such as coal and petroleum. However, there are several
countries like China and Germany that have done exceedingly well, in terms of
formulation and execution of policy instruments, and have made huge advances
by increasing their installed capacity, encouraging market investments and
fostering jobs in this sector. This is paper aims at analysing the Chinese and
German experience by studying the enactment and implementation of policy
instruments and suggest possible lessons and recommendations for India. The
analysis revealed Germany‘s prime policy to be feed in tariffs (FITs) which was
complemented by increased funding and tax incentives. China has implemented
multiple policies such as feed in tariffs, high subsidies on installation of wind and
solar and a remarkable increase in funding. Almost all policy instruments present
in China and Germany exist in India. However, insights on proper design and
execution need to be learned. The government needs to ensure that utilities adhere
to their obligations and that FITs are designed to create a more favourable
atmosphere for these technologies in India.

to facilitate wider involvement in small hydro power (SHP) plant and components
fabrication through the use of available materials and manufacturing facility of
SSA. Functionally graded materials (FGMs) and aluminum alloys manufactured
by centrifugal casting technique for small hydro turbine (SHT) blade application
will be investigated. Baseline study of existing knowledge on FGMs and
aluminum production techniques will be carried out. There will concept
development of SHT design, simulation and mathematical modelling; FGMs and
aluminum alloy characterization; and testing and results analysis. Energy
generation globally is moving away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and so
the introduction of non-fossil small hydro power with improved material selection
will be a suitable and significant alternative. The study application relevance are:
design and fabrication technology transfer; domestication of the SHP technology
for the provision of electricity in rural communities, industrial estates and
standalone electrification.

Abstract
This study launches search on baseline knowledge of functionally graded
materials (FGMs), their production technologies, significant processing
parameters and applications. FGM concept describes a systematic process of
bringing incompatible functions like thermal, wear and corrosion resistance,
toughness and machinability into a single part. Attributes of materials in their
natural forms are inadequate in most engineering based considerations for
applications. Combination of different materials by exploring their comparative
advantage to form one composite material enhances material functional
performance. The gradual transient arrangement of composite microstructure and
composition further improve materials properties and increase their applications.
Material with such arrangements is said to be functionally graded. The main
fabrication techniques are Vapour deposition method (VDM), powder metallurgy

Centrifugal casting method is seen as most attractive because of its simplicity
comparatively and cheapest to execute. Main processing parameters are
reinforcement particles size, temperature, pressure (for PM), and rotational speed
(for centrifugal casting). FGMs are widely used in the following sectors;
automotive; medical; aerospace; aviation; nuclear energy; renewable energy;
chemical; engineering; optics electronics etc. Though, a lot of progress has been
made in FGMs laboratory work, much is still needed to overcome present
challenges in FGMs applications and mass production. Based on the literature
reached, this study noticed that: not much information of FGMs in Africa and
most of the information and work is from Asia and; the concept of FGM has not
been used in hydro turbine blade fabrication.

Abstract:
Power dissipation and propagation delay are the major concern in modern CMOS
VLSIdesigns. The reduction of threshold voltage increases the operational speed
or computational speed of a digital logic circuit but it unfortunately increase in the
sub-threshold leakage current as well and thereby it increases the static power
dissipation of a circuit. Multi-threshold CMOS(MT-CMOS) technology provides
a convenient solution for this problem, using which both subthreshold leakage
current and propagation delay of a digital logic can be reduced at a time
simultaneously without any additional area overhead. Low-threshold voltage
MOS transistors are used in the longest propagation path (critical path) to the
reduce propagation delay. On the other hand, high threshold voltage MOS
transistors are used in the shortest path to reduce the static power dissipation of a
digital circuit. The paper describes the implementation and performance analysis
of various low-power, highspeed digital logic design methodologies using
TANNER EDA back-end tools.

Abstract
Everyone is going towards renewable or green energy sources due limitation of
natural resources. Therefore renewable sources for power generation are in
demand. Every day, we produce 1000s liters of waste water. Sewage water
contains a lot‘s of energy which ends up into a big drain. Sewage water is another
available source of power generation. In this paper archimedes turbine is used to
produce electric power through sewage water. Archimedes turbine is designed in
matlab simulink. Output electric power has been calculated for different flow rate
and head of the waste water.Therefore, producing electricity through sewage
water is good option.

Energy efficiency for Egyptian housing: Code compliance and enforcement
Eng. Mohamed Eledeisy, Prof. Carlo Cecere

Sapienza University of Rome
Abstract
This paper is a part of an ongoing doctorate research that proposes energy
strategies for residential buildings in hot arid climates. The housing stock in Egypt
is dominated by informality. Consumption rates increase is more than 5%
annually. A building energy efficiency code was introduced in 2005; it indicates
minimum design and application requirements for residential buildings.
Submission is mandatory and should lead to about 20% energy savings with
higher comfort levels in non air-conditioned building. Nevertheless, compliance is
almost nonexistent, electricity is subsidized and incentives to adopt energy
efficient patterns are very low.
The paper introduces the code and analyses its impact on public authorities,
academic community and private sector. It discusses reasons and factors that led
to noncompliance and presents an energy efficiency implementation strategy. The
strategy is based on: 1) An action plan for immediate enforcement to new
constructions, 2) Updating current code to correspond with demand rise and
provide retrofit guidance, 3) Development of rating systems. The study indicates
required conditions to develop energy efficiency market, provide technical support
and help households adopt new policies; these requirements are necessary for the
success of the proposed strategy.

As the Fossil fuel is declining day by day and the demands of fuel from alternative
resources are increasing rapidly, Biodiesel is one of Alternative fuel. Acid-
catalyzed biodiesel production processes is a competitive alternative for biodiesel
production using waste cooking oil as raw materials and are less complex than
alkali-catalyzed approaches. Mustard oil Biodiesel made from Waste Mustard Oil
can also be used as an alternative to Diesel. So, Mustard Biodiesel was Made from
waste Mustard Oil and its Oxidation Stability was studied in Professional
Biodiesel Rancimat 873. Biodiesel made from waste Mustard Biodiesel has
showed an Effective Oxidation Stability (OS) of 7 Hours. It was found that this
biodiesel successfully meets EN-14112 Specifications.
