Multifunctional Furniture: A Space Saving Solution for Small Spaces
Abstract: The on-growing world population has led to increased urbanisation and a shift towards smaller apartments due to huge economic gaps between the rich and poor as well as the lack of space to build new buildings, caused by the high population density. In India a major portion of the middle-classpopulation is living in small homes or apartments. Is it getting difficult to adjust in such spaces when the human needs …

An Analytical Approach to Calculate the One-Dimensional Drift Velocity in Bubble Columns
Abstract: The design and scale-up of a bubble column reactor require a complete understanding of its complex hydrodynamics, which is influenced by the physical properties of the phases, the operating variables, and the design parameters. Current design procedures for bubble columns involve several steps of pilot-plant experimentation, which is expensive and time-consuming. One of the critical unknown parameters involved in designing any gas-liquid system is the gas holdup. The gas holdup …

A parametric study for the behaviour of steel plate-anchor assembly embedded in concrete under cyclic loading
Abstract: Steel plate-anchor assembly embedded in concrete is a common type of connection system used for connecting structural steel members to concrete members. These assemblies are subjected to different loading cases depending on their use. Since the behaviour of such assemblies is quite complex and depends on a number of factors associated with different components, it was decided to adopt finite-element technique to obtain a reasonably accurate analytical solution for the …

Magnetic Priority Encoder Based on Spin Devices
Abstract: Energy dissipation has already become an important consideration in the design of digital integrated circuits. Because current-induced domain-wall (DW) motion is a common switching mechanism, high-density, low-power, and high-speed circuits are possible. Because spin computing is one of the most common sources of energy dissipation, employing spin logic to design digital circuits is an effective way to reduce the circuit's energy dissipation. As a result, a new spin-based priority encoder …

Seismic Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Coupled with O-Grid Bracing Systems
Abstract: The greatest challenge for structural engineers is to design the structures to be earthquake resistant. Basically, the earthquake-resistant design of reinforced concrete structures is a force-based design. When a structure is designed for seismic resistance, various systems are embedded into the structure so as to resist the lateral forces. One of the systems, which are used for resisting lateral forces, is to provide the structures with different types of bracings. …
