Detecting plants on railway embankment. (2013)
Journal Article
Nyberg, R., Gupta, N. K., Yella, S., & Dougherty, M. (2013). Detecting plants on railway embankment. Journal of Software Engineering and Applications, 6, 8-12. https://doi.org/10.4236/jsea.2013.63b003

This paper investigates problems concerning vegetation along railways and proposes automatic means of detecting
ground vegetation. Digital images of railway embankments have been acquired and used for the purpose. The current
work mainly proposes t... Read More about Detecting plants on railway embankment..

Emperor penguin body surfaces cool below air temperature (2013)
Journal Article
McCafferty, D. J., Gilbert, C., Thierry, A. M., Currie, J., Le Maho, Y., & Ancel, A. (2013). Emperor penguin body surfaces cool below air temperature. Biology Letters, 9, 20121192-20121192. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2012.1192

Emperor penguins Aptenodytes forsteri are able to survive the harsh Antarctic climate because of specialized anatomical, physiological and behavioural adaptations for minimizing heat loss. Heat transfer theory predicts that metabolic heat loss in thi... Read More about Emperor penguin body surfaces cool below air temperature.

Seaport network performance measurement in the context of global freight supply chains. (2013)
Journal Article
Lam, J. S. L., & Song, D. (2013). Seaport network performance measurement in the context of global freight supply chains. Polish maritime research, 20, 47-54. https://doi.org/10.2478/pomr-2013-0026%2C

A global distribution channel with a reliable freight transport system is essential in the contemporary world economy. Acting as trade facilitators, seaports are important players in the system. The study of the role of ports in supply chain manageme... Read More about Seaport network performance measurement in the context of global freight supply chains..

Idling emission at intersection and exploring suitable mitigation measures (2013)
Journal Article
Kumar, R., Parida, P., Tiwari, D., & Gangopadhaya, S. (2013). Idling emission at intersection and exploring suitable mitigation measures. Journal of traffic and logistics engineering (JTLE), 1, 184-194. https://doi.org/10.12720/jtle.1.2.184-190

Variety of road based transport modes catering to the transport demand ply in large number on the road system of urban India. As a result, the traffic and transportation problems are aggravating day by day. These problems manifest in the form of incr...

Finding suitable exploratory measures to reduce fuel and emission due to idling of engine at intersection. (2013)
Journal Article
Kumar, R., Parida, P., & Chaudhary, S. (2013). Finding suitable exploratory measures to reduce fuel and emission due to idling of engine at intersection. Bharatiya Vaigyanik evam Audyogik Anusandhan Patrika, 21, 103-112

There are many types of vehicles ply in urban parts of India. The continuous increase in their number or ownership of vehicles are creating various types of traffic and transportation problem every day. The results of such problems are visualised in...

Evaluation of following headway behaviour in mixed traffic condition in north east part of India. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kumar, R., & Parida, P. (2013, September). Evaluation of following headway behaviour in mixed traffic condition in north east part of India. Presented at 11th WASD Annual Conference

Purpose: Both a lack of understanding of the issues for following headway behaviour of the driver and a lack of sufficient data in different traffic condition have been major reasons to attempt this research study. This paper attempts to address hypo... Read More about Evaluation of following headway behaviour in mixed traffic condition in north east part of India..

The water vapor sorption behavior of a galactomannan cellulose nanocomposite film analyzed using parallel exponential kinetics and the Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model. (2013)
Journal Article
Keating, B. A., Hill, C. A. S., Sun, D., English, R., Davies, P., & McCue, C. (2013). The water vapor sorption behavior of a galactomannan cellulose nanocomposite film analyzed using parallel exponential kinetics and the Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model. Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 129, 2352-2359. https://doi.org/10.1002/app.39132

Nanocomposite films have been developed where a galactomannan (guar) matrix was reinforced with cellulose nanowhiskers and plasticized using sorbitol. The properties of these films were compared with films made from guar only. The films were examined...
