The total magnetic moments per supercell of B, C and N-doped CdS monolayer is found to be ~1.0 µB, ~2.0 µB and ~1.0 µB respectively. As the electronegativity of the dopant increases, the local magnetic moment tends to localize and 2p-states of the dopants gradually move towards the valence band maximum of the host CdS. Our study also confirmed that the introduction of impurity atom by substitution of S atom results in half-metallic magnetism. Our investigation concludes that doping of NM element is an efficient way of altering the magnetic and electronic properties in CdS monolayer.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74864233","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}

Various physico-chemical parametric studies viz. effect of pH, initial dye concentration and background electrolyte concentrations are performed in the removal of Congo red (CR) dye using the IMO compost. The lower pH condition pH < 6.0 favoured the removal of Congo red and the percent removal was decreased with increase in the CR concentration. The removal of Congo red followed the pseudo-second order rate kinetics and the equilibrium state sorption data was reasonably fitted well to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. In addition, the minimal effect of background electrolyte concentrations (0.0001 to 0.1 mol/L NaNO3) in the removal of CR inferred a specific sorption of Congo red forming ‘inner sphere’ complexes at the surface of the biosorbent.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84591965","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}

Discovery mechanism selects the best Web Service according to their QoS values and functional attributes. Cases arise, where the discovery mechanism fails, as a user’s complex query cannot be satisfied by a single Web Service. This can be solved by Web Service composition where multiple Web Services are combined to give a composite Web Service which meet user’s complex query. Our work is mainly focused on composition of Web Services that efficiently meets the user’s query. Different algorithms have been discussed and used by different researchers in this field. One of the most blooming topics is the use of evolutionary algorithms in optimization problems. In our work, we have chosen Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm approach to discover the best efficient composition. Then, Weight Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm is used to improve the results which were found to be quite satisfying and efficient.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89518656","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}

Mizoram, being a part of it experiences a high rate of rockfall throughout the year especially during the monsoon season. This paper focus on frequent rock fall along the State highway between Aizawl to Lunglei via Thenzawl at Midumkham, Sumsuih village. Damage of passenger vehicles, public goods carrier trucks, private vehicles and road blocks are the common phenomenon due to various forms of landslide within the study area. The death of a couple on 14th October 2016 due to rockfall within the study area captivate attention of government as well as the local about the condition of the area. Thus, detailed study of the area becomes mandatory so as to reduce rockfall and to educate the government and locals about the actual condition of the area. Field reconnaissance has been carried out to collect joint data for kinematic analysis. The behaviour of rockfall was determined by kinematic analysis using Rocscience software Dips 6.0, the stereograph shows that toppling, planar and wedge type are the potential modes of failures. The rock beddings are classified based on RMR (Rock Mass Rating) and SMR (Slope Mass Rating). About 90% of the selected site shows that low RMR as well as SMR value. The RMR values of the rock exposed in the study area indicated a very poor quality of rock mass. The average stand up time obtained 30 min for 1m span suggest high rate of erosion of rocks in the area. The rock slopes represent Class V of Romana classification, considered as very bad rock mass and completely unstable.

The energy difference between HOMO and LUMO helped determine the molecular descriptors; global hardness (η), softness (σ) electronegativity (χ) Chemical potential (μ), and electrophilicity index (ω) in gas and different solvents. The molecular hyperpolarizability (βtotal) and descriptors that have been calculated in the solvent medium were taken into consideration through the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM), This study shows the high static hyperpolarizability exhibited by HNR, FXT, and CNT and offers the potential the materials may have for NLO devices. The molecular descriptors, hardness, and chemical potential values are high for CNT and UCAcompared to other studied coumarins.
