Access to safe water is a major challenge in many communities in developing countries. As world population and social-economic growth, societies are challenged to provide fresh water to meet those needs for all of their people. Growing demands of freshwater resources are creating an urgent need to develop self sustained system to meet the demand of fresh water. Among the conventional distillation process, solar desalination process seems to be a suitable solution for resolving this existing demand of fresh water. Solar water distillation removes impurities such as salts and heavy metals as well as eliminates microbiological organisms. In this study, a basin type double slope active solar still was designed and fabricated, and a performance evaluation were carried out for different water depths viz. 0.03 m, 0.04 m and 0.05 m. The distillate output is maximum 4.82 kg for 0.03m water depth and minimum 4.36 kg for 0.05 m water depth. The maximum instantaneous thermal efficiency is 46.96 at 0.04 m water depth. <#LINE#> @ @ Zaki G.M., EI-Dali T. and EI-Shafie M., Improved performance of solar stills, Solar energy and the Arab world, Pergamon press, 1, 331-335 (1983) @No $ @ @  Mink G., Aboabboud M.M. and Karmazsin E., Air blown solar still with heats recycling, Solar Energy, 62(4), 309–317 (1988) @No $ @ @  Kwatra H.S., Performance of a solar still: Predicted effect of enhanced evaporation area on yield and evaporation temperature, Solar Energy , 56(3), 261–266 (1996) @No $ @ @ Khalifa A.J.N., Al-Jubouri A.S. and Abed M.K., An experimental study on modified simple solar stills, Energy conver. and manage., 40, 1835-47 (1999) @No $ @ @  Shruti A. and Tiwari G.N., Thermal modeling of a double condensing chamber solar still, an experimental validation, Energy conver. and manage., 40, 97-114 (1999) @No $ @ @  Rubio E., Porta M.A., Fernandez J.L., Cavity geometry influence on mass flow rate for single and double slope solar stills, App. Ther.

Some of these techniques can detect: only single error, all unidirectional errors, only burst errors, any bit in a  data packet is change from one to zero or zero to one it  means error is occur in same, errors with known locations assume a code is correct if the error location are known or cannot detect errors which appear in the same location in a pair of message codes. Coding techniques that detects and correct errors are more precise at detecting error locations and correcting them, however if more than one error occur, it becomes a challenge to detect all errors in a data frames  and converted back its original form . In this paper, an advanced error detection and correction method to protect against errors is proposed. This method is based on 4D parities checking. This method, which is named HVD, provides very high detection coverage rate that can correct up to three flips in a data bit. The performance  of  HVD  is  optimize in  comparison  with  the  following  coding  techniques:  CRC, Hamming codes. An independent design platform is utilized for the simulation by Xilinx 8.1 using ModelSim SE-EE 5.4a which shows a significant reduction in uncorrected errors during data transmission.  The efficient performance of HVD makes it a more applicable coding technique for communication, data transmission, different protocols and other application. <#LINE#> @ @ Anlei Wang, Member, IEEE, and Naima Kaabouch, Member, IEEE. “FPGA Based Design of a Novel Enhanced Error Detection and Correction Technique, 25-29 (2008) @No $ @ @ Behrouz A.

Measurement of temperature and its control has become a major part of the control systems operating in an environment which is temperature sensitive. In this paper, LM35 sensor is being used for the measurement of temperature and is then controlled using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The system will get the temperature from the LM35 and this temperature is then compared with the desired temperature. According to the measured value of the temperature, either the fan or the heat will be switched on. For the purpose of achieving the above measurement and control PLC is used as the interface. Before implementing these ideas directly into making hardware design, software simulation is being done using PLC software. The result is obtained in the form of proportional electrical signal i.e voltage. This voltage is manipulated directly to give the temperature which is being measured. <#LINE#> @ @ Åström K.J. and Wittenmark B., Adaptive Control, Addison-Wesley,  ISBN 0-201-55866-, 2nd ed., (1995) @No $ @ @ Zbvng M.  and Atherton D.P., Automatic Tuning of Optimum PID Contoller, IEE PROCEEDINGS,1403),  (1993) @No $ @ @ Franklin G.F., Powell J.D. and Workman M.L., Digital Control of Dynamic Systems, 3rd edition, Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA, (1997) @No $ @ @  Bruce Carter, “Op Amps and Comparators - Don't Confuse Them”, Texas Instruments, SLOA067, (2001) @No $ @ @  James E.

Unless any product is characterized by value addition, it is now impossible to survive in this highly competitive world market. Only innovative products will be sustainable to open up new markets and new horizons for textile industry.Manufacturers should now produce products to satisfy customers that are best in terms of quality and price. Customers today have a wide range of choices and the one who produces the best quality at a better competitive price will survive and prosper. Processing is important to make a usable but finishing gives better characteristics and value addition to it. It makes garments attractive, comfortable and finishing can incorporate desirable properties. Soil release finish is one of the important finishing processes applied to apparel and fabric. To make the apparel products more fashionable, sustainable, and customer focused soil release finishing processes have become a popular value addition process which improves the different functional properties of apparel. This paper represents a general overview of soil release finish on apparel.  <#LINE#> @ @ Mark H., Wooding N.S. and Wiley S.M., Chemical After treatment of Textiles; Wiley: New York, 1971  Retrieved,520 (2006) @No $ @ @ “Chemical processing of fibers and fabrics - functional finishes”, Part B, edited by M.Lewin and S.

Cracking in the surface layer of concrete mainly reduces its durability, since cracks are responsible for the transport of liquids and gasses that could potentially contain deleterious substances. When microcracks growth reaches the reinforcement, not only the concrete itself may be damaged, but also corrosion occurs in the reinforcement due to exposure to water and oxygen, and possibly CO and chlorides too. Micro-cracks are therefore the main cause to structural failure. One way to circumvent costly manual maintenance and repair is to incorporate an autonomous self -healing mechanism in concrete. One such an alternative repair mechanism is currently being studied, i.e. a novel technique based on the application of biominerilization of bacteria in concrete. The applicability of specifically calcite mineral precipitating bacteria for concrete repair and plugging of pores and cracks in concrete has been recently investigated and studies on the possibility of using specific bacteria as a sustainable and concrete -embedded self healing agent was studied and results from ongoing studies are discussed. Synthetic polymers such as epoxy treatment etc are currently being used for repair of concrete are harmful to the environment, hence the use of a biological repair technique in concrete is focused. In the present paper, an attempt is made to incorporate dormant but viable bacteria in the concrete matrix which will contribute to the strength and durability of the concrete. Water which enters the concrete will activate the dormant bacteria which in turn will give strength to the concrete through the process of metabolically mediated calcium carbonate precipitation. Concrete, due to its high internal pH, relative dryness and lack of nutrients needed for growth, is a rather hostile environment for common bacteria, but there are some extremophilic spore forming bacteria may be able to survive in this environment and increase the strength and durability of cement concrete. Overview of development of bioengineered concrete using bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis JC3 and its enhanced mechanical and durability characteristics will be briefly described in this paper. <#LINE#> @ @ Ramachandran S.K., Ramakrishnan V. and Bang S.S., Remediation of concrete using microorganisms, ACI Materials Journal 98(1), 3-9 (2001) @No $ @ @ De Muynck W., Cox K., De Belie N. and Verstraete W.
