Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDevelopment and Evaluation of a Low-Density Biomass Feeding System for Fluidized Bed GasifiersA. E. Ghaly, A. Ergudenler, S. Alsuhaibani, V. V. RamakrishnanFor efficient operation of a biomass gasifier, the biomass material must be fed continuously to the system. A feeding system for chopped straw and rice husk was designed, constructed and evaluated. It consisted of: a frame, a hopper, an auger, two agitators, a drive system and a power unit. Initial testing showed that wheat straw and rice husk, being highly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 7 Nov 2013 · 8,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNitrification of Urea and Assimilation of Nitrate in Saturated Soils Under Aerobic ConditionsV. V. Ramakrishnan, A. E. GhalyThe aim of this study was to investigate nitrification activity of urea and the assimilation of nitrate in a well aerated soil using perfusion technique with addition of glucose as an energy and carbon source. In this study, urea was rapidly nitrified by the bacteria in the saturated soil but its course of transformation to NO3 was not linear. There … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 8,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEpidemiology of Intensive Care Unit Infections and Impact of Infectious Disease Consultants in Managing Resistant InfectionsK. P. Ravi, Suresh Durairajan, Sankalp Parivar et al.Choice of empiric antibiotics in India have generally been guided by western data and guidelines. However, validity and applicability of western guidelines in the Indian setting is not known. The aim of our study was to explore microbial prevalence and resistance patterns in a tertiary care Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in India and to determine whether western guidelines are still … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 28 Apr 2013 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Fuzzy Petri-Net Based Conceptual Model for Risk Prediction in Enterprise Resource Planning Acquisition Decisions for Small and Medium EnterprisesVijayakumar Bharathi, Dhanya Pramod, Ramakrishnan RamanThis study identifies and evaluates certain critical pitfalls in the acquisition phase of ERP adoption in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and develops a model for evaluating the risk of failure. On the acquisition stage a set of risks has been identified based on past research work and each of these risks have been explained through a set of well-defined … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPerformance Analysis of Multi Spectral Band Image Compression using Discrete Wavelet TransformR. Kousalyadevi, S. S. RamakrishnanProblem statement: Efficient and effective utilization of transmission bandwidth and storage capacity have been a core area of research for remote sensing images. Hence image compression is required for multi-band satellite imagery. In addition, image quality is also an important factor after compression and reconstruction. Approach: In this investigation, the discrete wavelet transform is used to compress the Landsat5 agriculture … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Cross-sectional Study of Sexual Practices, Sexually Transmitted Infections and Human Immunodeficiency Virus among Male-to-Female Transgender PeopleP.S. Saravanamurthy, P. Rajendran, Priya Maria Miranda et al.Problem statement: Designing HIV interventions requires evidence on links between behaviors and elevated transmission risk that remains scanty for male-to-female Transgender (TG) people in India. Approach: In 2007, we carried out a cross-sectional study through convenience sampling of 131 TG aged > 18years, residing in Chennai at least prior to six months of the study. Sexual practices and perception towards … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesModeling of Oxygen Transfer Correlations for Stirred Tank Bioreactor Agitated with Atypical Helical Ribbon ImpellerMohd Shamzi Mohamed, Rosfarizan Mohamad, Ramakrishnan Nagasundara Ramanan et al.Problem Statement: Mixing filamentous fungi entails delicate balance between promoting high volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) while keeping low hydrodynamic stresses in the microenvironment of cultures. This study examined the oxygen transfer capability of a prototype low shear helical impeller as a potential replacement for the standard Rushton turbine. Approach: The dependence of kLa upon specific power uptake, superficial gas … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptimal Power Control with Overhearing Avoidance for Wireless Sensor NetworksM. Ramakrishnan, P. Vanaja RanjanProblem statement: Extending lifetime of the battery operated wireless sensor nodes through the design of low power medium access control protocols dealt in this study. Approach: In this study energy efficient Optimal Power Control MAC with Overhearing Avoidance (OPC-OA) was proposed. The transmission power of every node was dynamically changed for the optimal connectivity between nodes. The optimal transmission power … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesClassification of Pressure Range Based on the Characterization of Escherichia coli Cell Disruption in High Pressure HomogenizerRamakrishnan Nagasundara Ramanan, Beng Ti Tey, Tau Chuan Ling, Arbakariya B. AriffProblem statement: High pressure Homogenizer was used for cell disruption in many studies. But no work was carried out to study the characteristics of cell disruption in a wide range of pressure. Approach: The characteristics of Escherichia coli cell disruption was studied in Avestin small scale homogenizer by varying the operating pressure (50-1500 bar), cell concentration in the feed (1.39-12.51 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,626 accessesView PDFCite
