Impact Of The Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Plant In Warsaw On Air Quality, Robert Oleniacz Dec 2014

Impact Of The Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Plant In Warsaw On Air Quality, Robert Oleniacz

Robert Oleniacz

The only Polish municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerator has been operating within the Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Plant in Warsaw since 2000. In the paper selected results of the air quality impact assessment for this incinerator during an operating period of one year (2008) are presented. With respect to the incinerated waste amounts and emission levels, the analysed period can be considered typical for this facility. Assessment of the air quality impact was carried out by assessing air pollutant emissions in reference to the applicable emission limit values and by modeling atmospheric dispersion of these pollutants. It has been found …


Computer Aided Pronunciation Learning For Al-Jabari Method: A Review, Noor Jamaliah Ibrahim, Mohd Yamani Idna Idris, Zulkifli Mohd Yusoff Dec 2014

Computer Aided Pronunciation Learning For Al-Jabari Method: A Review, Noor Jamaliah Ibrahim, Mohd Yamani Idna Idris, Zulkifli Mohd Yusoff

Noor Jamaliah Ibrahim

Speech processing for Quranic Arabic is an active field of research, since a few years ago. We propose in this paper, a review on the potential of automatic speech recognition (ASR) computer-based technology to support Quranic learning processes. Thus, the aspects of Computer-Aided Pronunciation Learning (CAPL) are discussed, focusing towards the implementation on Quranic learning through Al-Jabari method. We believe Al-Jabari method is fast and efficient, as well as a practical way of learning Al-Quran. The analysis of CAPL systems towards the implementation in Quranic learning through Al-Jabari method are discussed in details.

Dr. Hadi Zayandehroodi

The Protection Engineer is concerned with limiting the effects of disturbances in a power system. These disturbances, if allowed to persist, may damage plant and interrupt the supply of electric energy. They are described as faults (short and open circuits) or power swings, and result from natural hazards (for instance lightning), plant failure or human error. To facilitate rapid removal of a disturbance from a power system, the system is divided into 'protection zones'. Protection relays monitor the system quantities (current and voltage) appearing in these zones. If a fault occurs inside a zone, the relays operate to isolate the …

Applicability Of Fluidized Bed Reactor In Recalcitrant Compound Degradation Through Advanced Oxidation Processes: A Review, Abdul Aziz Abdul Raman Dec 2014

Applicability Of Fluidized Bed Reactor In Recalcitrant Compound Degradation Through Advanced Oxidation Processes: A Review, Abdul Aziz Abdul Raman

Abdul Aziz Abdul Raman

Treatment of industrial waste water (e.g. textile waste water, phenol waste water, pharmaceutical etc) faces limitation in conventional treatment procedures. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) do not suffer from the limits of conventional treatment processes and consequently degrade toxic pollutants more efficiently. Complexity is faced in eradicating the restrictions of AOPs such as sludge formation, toxic intermediates formation and high requirement for oxidants. Increased mass-transfer in AOPs is an alternate solution to this problem. AOPs combined with Fluidized bed reactor (FBR) can be a potential choice compared to fixed bed or moving bed reactor, as AOP catalysts life-span last for only …

Power Efficient Optimized Arithmetic And Logic Unit Design On Fpga, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, Siddharth Singh Parihar, Prof. Rajni Gupta Gupta Dec 2014

Power Efficient Optimized Arithmetic And Logic Unit Design On Fpga, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, Siddharth Singh Parihar, Prof. Rajni Gupta Gupta

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

This paper deals with low power ALU design and its implementation on 90nm Spartan 3 FPGA. Most of power is consumed in ALU in any processor and hence reduction in ALU power is needed. In this work, we have designed a low power ALU. To reduce dynamic power consumption we disabled the blocks which are not needed in currently selected operation. Also hardware is reused; this will cut down the FPGA resource usage and also reduce the power consumption. By using these methods dynamic power consumption is reduced and less FPGA resources were consumed.

Mems Based Microneedle Actuator With Piezoresistive Force Feedback System For Biomedical Applications, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, Ashen Wijesiri, Y.W.R. Amarasinghe

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

This paper presents a novel design of MEMS based microneedle actuator with force feedback system which can be used for biomedical applications such as cell manipulation, drug delivery and DNA injection. The actuation mechanism of microneedle is driven by two electrostatic comb actuators. Since the manipulated objects are very sensitive, and can be easily damaged, it’s essential to have a force feedback system in the micro actuator to avoid unnecessary deformations. Piezoresistive sensing elements are used for the force feedback of the system. The proposed system was simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics software considering the anisotropic material properties and the nonlinear …

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

Researches on the Photovoltaic (PV) generation are extensively increasing, since it is considered as an essentially indefatigable and broadly available energy resources. Hence, the role of distributed generation i.e. solar energy based generation is increasingly being recognized as a supplement and an alternative to large conventional central power supply but mostly in off-grid areas rather than cities, whereas centralized economic system that solely depends on cities is hampered due to frequent energy deficiency. To extenuate these problems, this paper proposes an optimized design of single phase grid-tied PV system without storage which is employed with transformer-less power circuits. Most precisely …

Calculation Of Transport Coefficients Of Air-Water Vapor Mixtures Thermal Plasmas Used In Circuit Breakers, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, Kohio Niéssan, Kagoné Abdoul Karim, Koalaga Zacharie, Zougmoré François, Njomo Donatien

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

In this paper we calculate the transport coefficients of plasmas formed by air and water vapor mixtures. The calculation, which assume local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) are performed in the temperature range from 500 to 12000 K. We use the Gibbs free energy minimization method to determine the equilibrium composition of the plasmas, which is necessary to calculate the transport coefficients. We use the Chapman-Enskog method to calculate the transport coefficients. The results are presented and discussed according to the rate of water vapor. The results of the total thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity show in particular that the increasing of …
