Many types of syndromes are due to malnutrition. Specific concentrations of nutrients are required for optimal health of the animal. The diet supplies energy and amino acids that contribute to the development, maintenance and use of the immune system. Substrates are necessary for the anabolic activity of immune system’s cells (leukocytes), such as proliferation and antibody production as well as the secretion by the liver of large quantities. In young animals, a rigorous deficiency of any nutrient impairs immunocompetence. Nutrients can affect the functions of leukocytes and hence the type, duration, and magnitude of the immune response. It is important to determine the quantitative nutrient requirements of the immune system for its development in the young animal, its maintenance at times of good health, and its poor immunocompetence, in turn, can result in greater incidence and duration of infections, leading to decreased food intake, nutrient losses, and impaired animal health and well-being. There are two basic causes of degenerative diseases: immune dysfunction due to toxicity, and nutritional deficiency. Deficiency arises from poor soil and depletion of nutrition in processed feeds. Many types of illnesses and diseases are caused by malnutrition. Target animal species require to be examining to decide specific concentrations of nutrients for best immunocompetence and physical condition.","PeriodicalId":151335,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Scientific International Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132001796","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}

However, it is also facing a shortage of the supply, which is increasing day by day. At the present rate of growth, the energy demand is set to increase by nearly two folds by 2020. Out of many available methods, the simplest and the most effective method of minimizing this gap would be promoting the energy conservation. The utilities are trying their best on both the supply side management (SSM) and the demand side management (DSM) by introducing the different types of tariffs. In this research paper, a comparative study of the High Tension (HT), Tariff structure of five Indian states is carried out. The components of the tariff structure that are compared are Billing Demand, Energy Charges, Time of Day (TOD) tariff, Power Factor Incentive/Penalty, Load Factor Incentive, Penalty for exceeding the Contract Demand (CD) and Harmonic Penalty.","PeriodicalId":151335,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Scientific International Journal","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127413801","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}

A major challenging issue in the application of OFDM is its high peak to average ratio (PAPR). The Selective Mapping (SLM) is one of the promising techniques which offer a distortion less PAPR reduction at the cost of bandwidth efficiency and computational complexity. The rows of the Hadamard, Riemann and the Centering matrices are suggested to be used as the phase sequences in the literature. In this research work, the original SLM scheme is modified by using the new phase sequences, which are the combinations of the circulating matrix along with the Hadamard and the Riemann matrices. The simulation results show that the proposed phase sequences offer an improved PAPR reduction and thus outperform some of the previously proposed techniques.","PeriodicalId":151335,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Scientific International Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121827188","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}

The simulation can be very helpful in gaining insights to the dynamic behaviour and interactions that are often not readily apparent from reading theory. Next to having an actual system is to experiment on. In this research paper, the block diagram of a Direct Current (DC) motor was developed and by using Simulink, a toolbox extension of the MATLAB program, the block diagram was simulated with the expected waveforms output. Moreover, by varying certain constraints of the DC motor block diagram, the resultant waveform of the simulation will change accordingly. These constraints include the field current, armature circuit resistance and the armature voltage. The simulation and modeling of the DC motor also gave a deep look into the expected output when testing the actual DC motor. The results from the simulation were never likely to occur in the real-life condition due to the response times and the condition of the actual motor. The MATLAB and the SIMULINK is used because of the short learning curve, its wide distribution and its general-purpose nature. This will demonstrate the advantages of using MATLAB for analyzing the power system steady state behaviour and its capabilities for simulating the transients in the power systems and power electronics, including the control system dynamic behaviour.","PeriodicalId":151335,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Scientific International Journal","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123265676","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}
