Ultra Wideband (UWB) antennas are utilized as a part of GPR system for transmission and reception of short electromagnetic pulses. The fundamental source of difficulty lies in the performance of GPR for detecting the subsurface objects is the reflection from the antenna itself. These reflections cause late time ringing; which makes problem in the recognition of the underground object. Reflections in the antenna itself can be examined by studying transient behavior of the antenna. This paper focuses on the theoretical investigation of the design of UWB Vivaldi antenna (1GHz - 2.6GHz) for GPR applications. Vivaldi antenna has been designed, optimized and simulated in the CST Microwave Studios. The optimized Vivaldi antenna has a lower return loss and VSWR at a center frequency (1.8 GHz) of -35dB and around 1.0, respectively. Vivaldi antenna is also modeled with the GPR environment (i.e. with earth and scatterer inside the earth). Hence, the optimized Vivaldi antenna is presented to use for GPR applications.","PeriodicalId":21859,"journal":{"name":"Sindh University Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77588866","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 sea water intrusion is continually moving towards the coastal belt of Sindh Province. It is observed that sea water intrusion is moving sub-surface also. Fertile soil of the area is converting infertile land. Agriculture, fruits, vegetables, flora and fauna and ecosystem of the Delta is disturbed. Mangroves forest is slowly washed away from the area. It is reported that rate of Sea water intrusion is 80 acres per day and 38 percent mangroves forest has been removed in last twenty years. Increased stormy circumstances at the coast line of the Arabian Sea have given rise to the increased tidal activity. Along the coast line, increased to- and fro motion of tides and waves continue encroaching the shoreline posing threats to agricultural land, infrastructure and development activities. In summer, generally southwesterly winds prevail along the coastal areas of Sindh which bring monsoon rains to the area. Dynamics of south westerly has increased significantly producing enhanced precipitation over southeastern parts of the Sindh province. As that wind act the coast from south therefore their increased force has been rapidly eroding the soil/land along the coast due to the tides and strong waves. Continuity of storm acts with sea surface depressions cause significant damage. The latest research shows that fresh water availability in the River Indus, Tidal Link canal and mangroves forest may push backward the sea water intrusion and will help for the restoration of the Indus delta and its economy.","PeriodicalId":21859,"journal":{"name":"Sindh University Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88325892","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}

This challenge was confronted with the evaluation of four different mapping techniques: Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Ordinary Kriging (OK), Spline and Regression Kriging (RK). An evaluation of the resulting georasters using 1) cross-validation statistics, 2) a spatial cross-consistency test and 3) a water balance analysis reveals that the techniques ignoring the information on co-variables yield the largest prediction errors. Mean error and root-mean-square error values suggested that the most biased methods were IDW and spline, with a bias almost 2 to 5 times higher than ordinary kriging. The best model accounted for mean precipitation analysis is regression Kriging, with a mean error and root mean square error values of 1.38 mm and 72.36 mm respectively, which represents 42 % less bias and 16 % higher accuracy than OK results. Comparative performances show that the regression analysis made it possible to judiciously evaluate the variable patterns and get fairly accurate values at un-gauged locations where geographical information compensated the poor availability of local data.","PeriodicalId":21859,"journal":{"name":"Sindh University Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79598727","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 gaining information about earthquakes before they occur in not possible yet, however, the efficient disaster management (DM) services and their arrangements are essential after the earthquake to save human life and restore communication services which can help to locate victims over or underground. The recovery from earthquake can only be managed and obtained by a proper planning, well equipped response systems and resilient communication networks. Earthquakes are well superintend by many countries such as Japan and governments have plans and facilities to provide the quick response just after happening of earthquake. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) was established by the government of Pakistan for natural DM. The services of NDMA is linked with the army and they always appear in front to manage disasters with their teams. In disaster zone, the armed force establish their own communication services but no service exists which interact directly with victims over or under ground. No concept of resilient communication network exists in the policy of NDMA and never discussed at national level. Wireless communication networks play an important role soon after the earthquake, they just not help to restore communication in that zone but can be helpful to locate victims. The available smart technologies linked with high speed internet services via cellular communication and can be used to establish wireless Adhoc services.

The governing equations for this scheme are the conservative form of momentum equations (Navier-Stokes) and mass conservation equation. The grid will be developed and refined through Gambit package. Flow structure will be developed with effect of fluid inertia, primary, secondary and treasury vortex may be developed in the aspect ratio 1: 4, 1: 6 and 1: 8 of the converging and diverging channels. The small vortex observed in the ratio 1: 4 in each corner of the channel and with increasing the fluid inertia the left upper vortex in size is enhanced only due to increase the Reynolds numbers. When increased the ratio 1: 6 and 1: 8 the vortex in size is enhanced at lower and upper corner of the channel and occupied the whole domain. Due to filling the Porous material all vortices left, right, upper and lower are diminished and no recirculation flow rate observed at each Reynolds numbers and on every Darcy numbers.
