The study area is a part of central Ganga Plain which lies within the interfluve of Hindon and Yamuna rivers and covers an area of approximately 1,345 km2. Hydrogeologically, Quaternary alluvium hosts the major aquifers. A fence diagram reveals the occurrence of a single aquifer to a depth of 126 m below ground level which is intercalated by sub-regional clay beds. The depth to water level ranges from 9.55 to 28.96 m below ground level. The general groundwater flow direction is northwest to southeast. Groundwater is the major source of water supply for agricultural, domestic, and industrial uses. The overuse of groundwater has resulted in the depletion of water and also quality deterioration in certain parts of the area. This has become the basis for the preparation of a groundwater vulnerability map in relation to contamination. The vulnerability of groundwater to contamination was assessed using the modified DRASTIC-LU model. The parameters like depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of vadose zone, hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, and land use pattern were considered for the preparation of a groundwater vulnerability map. The DRASTIC-LU index is computed as the sum of the products of weights and rating assigned to each of the inputs considered. The DRASTIC-LU index ranges from 158 to 190, and is classified into four categories, i.e., <160, 160–170, 170–180, and >180, corresponding to low, medium, high, and very high vulnerability zones, respectively. Using this classification, a groundwater vulnerability potential map was generated which shows that 2 % of the area falls in the low vulnerable zone, 38 % falls in the medium vulnerable zone, and 49 % of the area falls in the high vulnerable zone. About 11 % of the study area falls in the very high vulnerability zone. The groundwater vulnerability map can be used as an effective preliminary tool for the planning, policy, and operational levels of the decision-making process concerning groundwater management and protection. 相似文献

Improvement in engineering properties of expansive soils by mixing ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is the main focus of this research. For this purpose two expansive soil samples were collected from DG Khan and Sialkot areas (Pakistan). Classification tests revealed that DG Khan sample belonged to fat clay (CH) while Sialkot soil was lean clay (CL) as classified by Unified Soil Classification System. GGBFS has been added in varying proportions between 0 and 55% in these soil samples to study its role in stabilizing these expansive soils. Based on the laboratory test performed on composite soil samples, it was observed that maximum dry unit weight increased up to 10 % by adding 50% GGBFS in both samples. California bearing ratio (CBR) value showed an increase from 3.2 % to 11.5% for DG Khan soil while CBR values varied from 2.4% to 10.7% for Sialkot soil by mixing 50% GGBFS. Addition of 30 % GGBFS to DG Khan soil reduced swell potential from 8 % to 2 % while in Sialkot soil, 20 % addition of GGBFS reduced swell potential from 5 % to 2 %. Unconfined compressive strength of remoulded sample cured for 28 days increased by about 35% with the addition of 30%GGBFS. The results indicated that mixing of GGBFS in the expansive soil samples have a marked increase in their engineering properties. Also, it is an affective and environmental friendly means to dispose waste of steel industry. 相似文献

In this paper, we study the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) in phantom dominated universe in the presence of a Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole. Our study is independent of the origin of the phantom like behavior of the considered universe. We also discuss the GSL in the neighborhood of transition from quintessence to phantom regime. We show that for a constant equation of state parameter, the GSL may be satisfied provided that the temperature is proportional to de Sitter temperature. It is shown that in models with (only) a transition from quintessence to phantom regime the generalized second law does not hold in the transition epoch. Next we show that if the phantom energy has a chemical potential, then the GSL will hold if the mass of black hole is above from a critical value. 相似文献

A new method for prediction of droplet size distributions from subsea oil and gas releases is presented in this paper. The method is based on experimental data obtained from oil droplet breakup experiments conducted in a new test facility at SINTEF. The facility is described in a companion paper, while this paper deals with the theoretical basis for the model and the empirical correlations used to derive the model parameters from the available data from the test facility. A major issue dealt with in this paper is the basis for extrapolation of the data to full scale (blowout) conditions. Possible contribution from factors such as buoyancy flux and gas void fraction are discussed and evaluated based on results from the DeepSpill field experiment. 相似文献

Effects of dynamical friction have been studied in a head-on collision between two galaxies. The galaxies are represented by Plummer's model of various masses and scale lengths. Analytical expressions are obtained for changes in the binding energies of the galaxies due to the tidal effects and numerical results are given for various pairs of colliding galaxies. 相似文献

Head-on collisions of two identical spherical galaxies are studied for two initial velocities (1) nearly equal to and (2)
greater than the capture velocity. Orbits of about 500 representative stars are computed taking into account the effects of
dynamical friction in the motion of the galaxies. From the computer studies the changes in the structure of the galaxies are
deduced. The galaxies contract at closest approach and expand as they recede from each other. When the initial velocity is
nearly equal to the capture velocity, the mean radius expands to almost double its size and the galaxies have a prolate structure
until the closest approach with the longer axis in the direction of motion. The prolate structure is destroyed as the galaxies
recede. For larger collision velocity (V ∼ 1.5 Vcap), the mean radius expands by 50 per cent and the galaxies are prolate until the closest approach and distinctly oblate after
the collision. The fractional increase in the binding energy is 0.46 in the first case and 0.30 in the second case. 相似文献

Heavy metals’ frequent occurrence and toxicity caused considerable concerns in assessing the interactive effects of metals on exposed plants. Therefore, a hydroponic study was conducted to assess the growth response and physio-chemical changes in Brassica napus plants under single and combined stress of two environmentally alarming metals (Cd and Cu). Results showed that 15-day metal exposure to different metal concentrations (0, 50, 200 µM) significantly enhanced Cd accumulation, while lesser extent of Cu was observed in plant tissues. Nonetheless, Cu caused more pronounced oxidative damages and plant growth retardation. Both metals showed similar trend of changes in mineral composition, although Cu proved more damaging effect on K and Mn contents, and Cd on Zn contents. In combined treatments, Cd stimulated Cu uptake, notably at low concentration, while its own uptake was restricted by the presence of Cu. At either level of concentration, combined stress of these metals exacerbated plant growth inhibition and caused further oxidative damages compared to their individual stress. However, metals synergistic effects occurred only in conditions where Cu uptake was enhanced by Cd. A greater synergistic effect was observed in sensitive cultivar Zheda 622 as compared to the tolerant cultivar ZS 758. As to mineral composition, no metals synergistic effects were noted. This study highlighted the ecotoxicological significance of Cd-led Cu uptake in B. napus, which was assumed to drive metals’ synergistic toxicity, and showed that the relationship between Cd-led Cu uptake and plant growth responses could vary with respect to cultivar. 相似文献

Pakistan is facing acute power dearth these days due to which people are suffering from privation and their economic condition is deflating. Expensive imported fossil fuel for thermal power generation is pressing them hard and exacerbating the situation. The total power produced in the country by all means is less by 4000 MW than the requirement of Pakistan. So this is the prime time to think about exploring aboriginal and renewable power resources. This article converses about hydro power resources of Swat, North Pakistan, one of the most promising areas in hydro power production. The area drained by the Swat River and its tributary net work is a part of Kohistan Himalayas and has a potential of more than 1000 MW that can contribute 25% to the total energy shortfall in the country and the same is 150% more than the shortfall experienced in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that hosts Swat Valley. Due to great relief difference acquired within a small stretch, the perennial Swat River and its tributaries become pertinent for power production as high head projects and also gain importance in irrigation as well. 相似文献

We examine cosmic energy equation for extended galaxy structures on the basis of different models of universe. We also extend the power spectrum and density fluctuations for extended structure by introducing softening parameter both for linear and non-linear regimes. The results are compared with earlier results of point mass structures. It is found that softening parameters introduced in the theory influence the thermodynamic fluctuation theory. Results obtained with spectrum analysis are also compared with Riemannian geometric approach (Ruppeiner in Rev. Mod. Phys. 67:605, 1995) to the galaxy clustering. The singular solutions of thermodynamic fluctuation results can be interpreted on the basis of power spectrum analysis in terms of power index law of two point correlation function. 相似文献
