A Normalized Mathematical Model for Optimum Tilt Angles Based on the Desired Solar Fraction Authors: Ala Elwani, Elhadi Dekam, Khairy Agha Abstract— Abstract--This paper presents a normalized mathematical model that determines the basic factors influencing domestic solar water heating systems, and in specific, discusses the optimum design time as well as the optimum tilt angle of the solar collector, bearing in mind the contribution of the energy obtained to meet the targeted load. The paper considers the required thermal capacity that should be provided by the solar collector. The study is thoroughly based on normalized mathematical parameters. In the case of 100% solar contribution, for heated water temperature of 45oC and consumption of 100 liters/Person per day for a given house sited at Tripoli city, 32.68°N latitude, the optimum design time is the month of December, the optimum tilt angle is 75°, and the solar collector area, fulfilling the following specifications: glazed type, Fr. (τα) = 0.58, a (d Fr UL=4.0(W/m2.oC), is 2.83 m2. The results designate an optimum tilt angle of 50°, which is the same angle obtained by the traditional famous technique, and solar collector area of 1.6 m2 if up to 80% of demand is to be covered by solar energy. Results obtained by RETScreen commercial computer package are compared and validated.

Authors: Rohan Sandeep Ghatage Abstract - Water pollution is one of the most leading causes of public health issues and mortality. It is mainly the outcome of urbanization and overpopulation and is caused due to over utilization of fertilizers by farmers, sewage from hotels, hospitals and homes and industries in the city. Present paper is a case study of Kolhapur city in Maharashtra. In this paper, an attempt has been made to understand the problem of water pollution of panchaganga river due to urbanization and industrialization and its impact on public health in Kolhapur city. As more than half the polluted water comes from the jayanti stream to the panchganga river so jayanti stream has been considered as the major point of research and an innovative concept is suggested to deal with this problem effectively. The polluted water of Panchganga has led to spread some dangerous infectious diseases like Diarrhea, jaundice, gastro and fever etc. in Kolhapur city. Therefore; there is a need of government intervention with the help of active peoples’ participation. Keywords – Urbanization; mortality; Industrialization.

Application of Social Networks for Human Resources Authors: Dr. Maryam Haghshenas, Abouzar Sadeghzadeh Abstract—Social media is changing the way people interact and share information. LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other social media are revolutionizing the way we communicate, and numerous organizations are struggling to respond. Given the potential risks and benefits of social media in the workplace, it is critical for managers to develop policies and procedures governing its appropriate use. This paper will identify key issues and pose strategic questions to help guide managers in making more informed decisions when navigating social media issues in their organizations. After a brief introduction, current most popular social websites and tools are described concisely. Relationships between social media and human resources are then discussed. Utilizing social media in organizations are not without risks which are thoroughly talked about further along with the benefits of such websites for recruitment. Lastly, suggestions are made for companies that are considering utilizing social media and for companies that have already benefitted from such networks to improve their strategies.

Authors:Asukwo Essien Itam, Edak Efiom, Samuel Augustine Ikpe, Maurice Petter Effiong, Wisdom Josph Usoro, Michael Okon Umoh, Michael Ekuru Omeka Abstract-- Sediments were sourced from 16 stations along the Ibeno Beach sector of the Atlantic Ocean located in Southeastern Nigeria. The areas of interest included; Inua Eyet Ikot, Nta Ikang and Itak Iban. The textural characteristics of the sediments include: mean grain size (Mz) which ranges from 2.30 to 3.57 with a mean of 2.77 infering fine grain to very fine sands. The graphic standard deviation (Sorting, σI) has a mean value of 0.57 ±0.10 and ranges from 0.38 to 0.70 inferring moderately well sorted to well sorted sediments. Sediments Skewness(SKI) and kurtosis (KG), have ranges values of -0.48 - 0.49 and 0.78-1.50 with mean values of 0.08 ± 0.21 and 0.92 ± 0.22 respectively depicting sediments that are dominantly coarse skewed in nature with kurtosis giving the scenario of platykurtic – leptokurtic. Based on the calculated discriminant function, the sediment of the study area was derived from shallow agitated marine environment (subtidal environment) with some contribution from aeolian processes Keywords: Discriminant function,Ibeno Beach,Sediments,Shallow agitated marine environment,Textural characteristics References- [1] Friedman G.

Influence of Elastic and Viscous Effects on Elasto-Viscoplastic Materials Authors: Giovanni M. Furtado, Renato da Rosa Martins Abstract— We use a recently proposed model (de Souza Mendes et al. 2011) for elasto-viscoplastic materials to analyze inertia flows inside a lid-driven cavity. The constitutive equation is a modified version of the viscoelastic Oldroyd-B model in which the viscosity, relaxation and retardation times depend on the material struc-turing level. The solution is obtained numerically using a three-field Galerkin least-squares-like formulation proposed by Behr et al. 1993, in terms of extra-stress, pressure and velocity . The performance of the constitutive equation and the combined effects of, elasticity and viscoplasticity are analyzed. Results focus on the determination of the yielded and unyielded regions revealing striking effects of these parameters on the flow field. Keywords—viscoplastic fluid, elasto-viscoplastic model, yield stress, lid-driven cavity, stabilized methods.

Design and Analysis of 3D Bridge Truss Using Steel and Concrete Materials. Authors: Ghassan Shaker Abd, Ahmed Shany Khusheef, Ahmed Mohmad Aliywy, Saddam Hassan Raheemah Abstract— Today truss structures that are simple to assemble and more economical are used for many purposes such as crossing area, rail road and other transportation bridges. These structures are composed of members that are connected to form a rigid frame of steel and arranged in a triangular manner resulting in the loads carried to become either in tension or compression. In this paper, a 3D bridge truss were designed and analysed in (ANSYS Workbench) with the real time boundary conditions by using steel for the whole structure to determine the static analysis like: axial force, stress , shear stress and deformation. The floor's material of the Bridge was changed from steel to concrete in order to find which combination of materials will give better performances. The results show that using concrete floor can reduces axial force and stress up to 0.64515N and 0.0001233Mpa, respectively while using steel material will reduce bridge's shear stress and deformation up to 7.9015e-21Mpa and 3.4888e-8mm, respectively.
