In September 2014, Kashmir witnessed a catastrophic flood resulting in a significant loss of lives and property.Such massive losses could have been avoided if any structural support such as dams were constructed in the Jhelum basin, which has a history of devastating floods.The GIS-based multicriteria analysis (MCA) model provided three suitability
Integration of Electrode Markings into the Manufacturing Process of Lithium-Ion Battery Cells for Tracking and Tracing Applications
One of the major challenges of battery cell manufacturing is the reduction of production costs.Production defects and manufacturing inaccuracies, combined with high value streams, cause cost-intensive scrap rates.Conventional batch tracing is insufficient to detect rejects at an early stage, since the quality-critical intermediate products are not
Design and Optimization of a Novel Wound Field Synchronous Machine for Torque Performance Enhancement
This paper presents the design and optimization of a novel wound field synchronous machine topology, in which permanent magnets (PMs) are introduced into the rotor slot opening with segment configuration for high quality output torque performance.The Idaho rotor shape of the proposed PM-assisted wound field synchronous machine with segment configur
Forensic identification of four Indian snake species using single multiplex polymerase chain reaction
Among different endangered animal species, snakes are the most neglected creature looked at with apathy and therefore, are ruthlessly killed, illegally trafficked, and poached for their venom, lucrative skin, meat, and bones for manufacturing of medicines, accessories, and food items.Establishing the identity of the endangered snake species is impo
