Water Balance Management in Urban Sector
Abstract: Abstract In India, there is a rapid population growth which is accompanied by migration of people from rural to urban areas. By 2025, one half of India’s population is expected to get shifted to urban centers. In future the population will increase and hence the demand of water will increase. Present water demand of the urban sector is being fulfilled through water intake from nearest River and supplemented by exploration …

Controlled Texture of Magnetron Sputtered Transparent Conducting ZnO: Al Films for Solar Cell Applications
Abstract: Textured transparent and conducting ZnO:Al films were prepared by rf-magnetron sputtering on glass substrate at a temperature 3500C under Ar and Ar+O2 gas ambient. ZnO:Al thin films shows a minimum electrical resistivity of (~8.210-4 Ω-cm), and high optical transmittance (T~86–90% average) in visible region. With increasing of oxygen concentration ZnO:Al films become more compact, stoichiometric and becomes more electrically resistive. ZnO:Al shows hexagonal wurtzite polycrystalline structure with strong (002) orientations. …
