    Abstract: Currently in thermal power plant the turbine system parameters like temperature, speed, lubrication oil level and vibrations can be monitored by using the MATLAB. If any problem occurs in the turbine parameters, that can be controlled manually and the protection system is based on the relay mechanism which causes failure in the action of switch. In...

    Abstract: The Kensil fine (KF) dust was evaluated under laboratory conditions for the control of three important storage insect pests of maize and wheat. Serial concentrations of KF, Dryacide (DA) and Wood ash (Ash) were admixed with 100g of maize or wheat in ventilated glass jars. Mortality of S. zeamais, P. truncatus and R. dominica was assessed at 7, 14, ... Show More

    Abstract: The ground state rotational band members for the studied nuclei have been identified and their energies calculated to about 0.3%. These energies provide good test of various models for rotational bands, and impressive agreement is observed with a theoretical calculations by the variable moment of inertia (VMI) model and cubic polynomial (CP) formu...
