Abstract: Over the past centuries there is a considerable development in the medical field. There is a lot of development in surgery and prosthetic fields. For this purpose, a lot of materials are used as implants for replacing them in place of damaged parts. These materials are called as biomaterials. It has been observed that one of the most important properties governing the suitability of the material to be a bio implant is ‘wear resistance’ ‘Corrosion Resistance’.

Abstract: The paper presents the mathematical modeling of the excitation contraction phenomena in single cardiac cells. Particular emphasis was placed on three models: the Hill model, the Huxley model and the Land model. Further literature was reviewed concerning the mathematical modeling of the myocyte cardiac cells. This included the Hunter model, which presented the passive active mechanics of the cardiac muscle suitable for use in the continuum mechanics models of the entire heart; the Rice Filament model, which approximated the activation and generation of force in cardiac myofilaments and; Vasileiou’s work, which described the coupling between mechanical contraction and electrical excitation in cardiac cells. As a starting point, descriptions of fundamental models were obtained along with their underlying mathematical modelling describing the processes behind excitation and contraction in cardiac cells. The Hill model representing muscle behavior, as well as the Hodgkin-Huxley model representing excitation, are fully considered due to their significance in mathematical physiology literature and as the basis for many models of cells.

Abstract: The performance of corrugated apron under free flow subcritical condition over the apron was evaluated experimentally. Compared to a smooth rigid apron, the scour depth increased with the application of a corrugated apron under the free flow of jets. Velocity and turbulence characteristics, as well as Reynolds shear stress over smooth and corrugated aprons, were also studied. Rate of increase of turbulence intensity in scour hole due to the smooth apron was found to be higher than scour hole due to the corrugated apron. Scour downstream of corrugated apron clearly shows three distinct regions: jet diffusion, transition and accelerating region as well as the recirculating region at near bed of scour hole.

Abstract: The current scenario of the steel market is expressively changing. The rapid increase in demand for clean and high-quality steel has changed the way of the conventional steelmaking process. The steelmakers are now looking for new technology and processes which can ensure their competitiveness in the market and reduce the carbon emission. The application of electromagnetic forces is among the various new technologies which have been employed for improving quality and efficiency. Among them, electromagnetic braking controls the melt flow velocity, and further, it reduces the free-surface chaotic velocity profile in a continuous casting mold. In the present work, a three-dimensional numerical model has been developed to investigate the effect of electromagnetic forces on melt flow characteristics in the continuous casting mold. The results obtained from the CFD model suggest that melt flow is greatly influenced by electromagnetic forces. Further, the vertical downward velocity component can be obtained by the application of electromagnetic force. In addition to this, inclusion motion behavior has been reported under the influence of an electromagnetic force.

Abstract: Industrial site selection is a strategic decision that involves several criteria considerations for technical, economic, social, environmental, and political issues. These criteria are generally described by using a number of different indicators, expressed in quantitative and qualitative ways with some possible uncertainties. Decision-making requires appropriate tools to enable data collection, storage, analysis, fusion, and knowledge management to address this complex, multifaceted scenario. This paper presents a Comprehensive Method for Industrial Site Selection (CMISS), an innovative approach for reasoning uncertainty and efficiently finding the most suitable solution based on a set of interacting decision support systems. The analysis focused to find a suitable area for the establishment of the cement industry in the Makwanpur District of Nepal. The study has been done by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in which criteria such as distance from residential areas, distance from roads, land use, distance from rivers and pond, geology, distance from sensitive ecosystems, etc. The obtained results of the study may be helpful for the establishment of the cement industry in Makwanpur district.
