The present paper discusses the results of the study of adsorption of methylene blue on activated carbon, derived from cheap and abundantly available agro-residue of Jowar Stalk (JS) [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] on suitable heat and acid treatment. The physico-chemical and morphological characteristics of processed carbon of JS origin were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller surface area, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry analyses. The batch studies revealed optimum values of adsorption parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, agitation speed, grain size, temperature, and contact time as 7, 1.5 g l−1, 200 rpm, finer than 75 µm, 30 °C, and 7 h, respectively. The adsorption isotherm data were best described by Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 176.05 mg MB g−1 JS activated carbon at 30 °C, which is higher than that available with adsorbents used by past researchers. In terms of cost-effectiveness, JS carbon shows its superiority over commercially available carbon.

A Review on Removal of Cadmium in Waste Water using Various Low- Cost Adsorbents

The seismic performance assessment of modified steel moment-resisting frame (SMRF) was carried out by nonlinear time-history analysis. The basic bare SMRF was reduced in strength first and then enhanced by installing passive energy dissipating devices (EDDs) to develop modified frame. Passive EDDs comprise both rate-dependent and rate-independent devices. Viscous fluid damper (VFD) is a rate-dependent device whereas buckling-restrained brace is a rate-independent device. The lateral strength of structure was improved by using these devices either alone or in combination. Seven-scaled time-history records were used for incremental dynamic analysis. The stiffness effect on the stories is demonstrated through the lateral displacement profile of the building. The VFD is found to be a good EDD as it significantly improved the performance of the frame at all levels of seismic analysis.

This paper presents the study of Support Vector Regression (SVR) to forecast the future streamflow discharge using past streamflow and rainfall data, which is closely related to regularization network and Gaussian processes. A Gaussian Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel framework was built on the dataset to optimize the tuning parameters and to obtain the moderated output. It has been observed from various studies that the prediction ability of RBF kernel function is better for regression problems. The training process of Support Vector Machine (SVM) involves the selection of both kernel parameters and regularization constants. The constants such as $\gamma$, $\epsilon$, C and $\sigma$ are the parameters of SVR which were optimized to obtain the desired outputs. Where parameter C determines trade-off between model complexity and degree to which deviations are larger than $\epsilon$ are tolerated in optimization formulation and the parameter $\epsilon$ controls the width of $\epsilon$-sensitive zone. The study area include the upstream part of Jayakwadi dam. The prediction is based on flow at two Gauge and Discharge Sites (GDS) i.e. Kopargaon and Nagamthan and rainfall data at three Standard Rain gauge Stations (SRG) i.e. Rahata, Khirdisathe and Wadala Mahadev in Maharashtra, India. The daily data values of these stations for 18 years were collected from Hydrological Data User Group (HDUG), Nashik. About 70% of data were used for training purpose and remaining 30% of data were used for testing purpose. The experimental results showed that the SVR algorithm is reliable and efficient method for streamflow prediction, which has an important impact on the water resources management of region.
