VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) with SVPWM generates adjustable voltage and frequency signals for VSDs (Variable Speed Drives). This research work presents the simplified SVPWM technique for controlling the speed and torque of induction motor. The performance of developed SVPWM technique is analyzed in terms of its switching losses and harmonic content and compared with SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation). Mathematical modeling for induction motor control through two-level VSI with SVPWM and SPWM is presented. The voltage and current TDHs (Total Harmonic Distortions) of the drive with SVPWM technique are 73.23 and 63.3% respectively as compared to 101.99 and 77.89% with SPWM technique. Similarly, the switching losses with SVPWM technique are 178.79 mW and that of with SPWM are 269.45 mW. Simulink modeling and laboratory setup are developed to testify the efficacy of SVPWM and SPWM techniques. The modulation factor of SVPWM technique is 0.907 which is higher as compared to SPWM technique with 0.785 modulation factor.","PeriodicalId":11058,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, January 14, 2020","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77081009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

International competition forced companies to establish efficient and effective production facilities that provide best possible outcome in terms of profitability, throughput and lead time. In this background, every industrial facility is in competition to remain competitive in the market and be flexible for future changes. It is not easy to change the environment of any facility in order to check the results beforehand therefore simulation is a viable option. Simulation tools are used to help analyze performance measures for improvement. This paper presents a case by analyzing a facility in order to improve its production using simulation tool. In this study, simulation model for the production facility of Fort Ceramic Company is developed from its current state and then changes are made to its inter-arrival time. Models for both improved and current systems are developed in the simulation tool. Data analyzed in the simulation tool shows better results that represent a significant improvement in productivity, cycle time and throughput time to optimize the system.It is also observed that by decreasing the inter arrival time there is increase in the throughput which improves the revenue.","PeriodicalId":11058,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, January 14, 2020","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89370927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessing the temporal variation in vegetative cover and water bodies of the Indus Delta is essential for the future planning and ecosystem management in this region. The present study quantified the temporal patterns of the surface water bodies and vegetation cover, including crops, mangroves and other natural vegetation in the Indus Delta, by using field survey and remote sensing technique during the last 27 years. Results showed that the area covered by vegetation declined from 3002.35 km2 (22.98% of the entire delta) to 2817.03 km2 (21.56%) from 1990 to 2017, within which the area covered by mangrove forests declined from 1032.49 km2 (7.90%) to 812.55 km2 (6.22%). However, the area of water bodies increased from 1611.67 km2 (12.39%) to 3007.15 km2 (23.8%) in the same period. The reduction in freshwater flow to the delta, surface and subsurface seawater intrusion from the Arabian Sea and irrigation waters are the potential causes. The study would be helpful for policymakers to mitigate negative impacts and protect the ecosystem of the Indus Delta.","PeriodicalId":11058,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, January 14, 2020","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88465903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analyses (from outcrop, seismic, well logs, gravimetry, magnetometry, dipmeter, and seismic and magnetic reprocessing), performed over the last years, allows the definition of a new tectonic model better describing these features: The GOS evolution is placed in a sinistral transtensional regime, reinterpreting the Duwi (WNW-ESE), Clysmic (NW-SE), Aqaba (NNE-SSW), and Cross (NE-SW) trends and the two (twist) accommodation zones, showing two distinct episodes resulting in overprinting of differently trending and tilting fault blocks. Furthermore, it tackles perplexities related to the link between subsidence amounts/rates (backstripping), and extension, strain distribution, and episodes/pulses/unconformities. It describes the increase in extension towards the south in the rift-sphenochasm and resolves the enigmatic relationship between high angle faults (that dominate the area), low angle dipping older faults and rotated pre-rift successions.\u0000 Our model foresees a two staged evolution: Initial rifting (Early Miocene - E1; Abu Zenima, Nukhul, Rudeis series) occurred along WNW-ESE trending (Duwi) faults disposed in an en-echelon manner as a result of a sinistral transtension. These faults progressively rotated in some areas towards a low angle with accompanied high angle \"antithetic\" tilted pre-rift strata. Subsidence accelerated during the Early Miocene, and some of these tilted fault blocks show erosion surfaces partly related to the final Early Miocene tectonic pulse. In a second stage (Mio- Pliocene - E2; Kareem, Belayim series, South Garib salt, Zeit evaporates) this pattern is overprinted by a new set of high angle rift faults trending (N)NW-(S)SE (Clysmic) cross-cutting the previous faults, but without any major block rotation. The Late Pliocene-Pleistocene (E3; Post Zeit, Shulher series) large (accelerating) differential uplift and subsidence, shows \"synthetic tilting\" of the strata along the rift margins, local tectonic inversions in different episodes, syn- sedimentary detachment along the mobile salt layer with the generation of en-echelon ridges, generating the present day complex fault pattern (sigmoidal intervening trends and cross trends), and differently tilted smaller fault blocks. The new model is fully compatible with the pulsating NNE-NE movement of the Sinai Plate, associated with the NE moving Arabian Plate and Red Sea rifting, and has severe consequences for further Exploration and Development in the GOS, as it describes the configurati","PeriodicalId":11058,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, January 14, 2020","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81875008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
