Water Quality Analysis of the Steel City, Rourkela (Odisha)

Abstract

Water is the elixir of life. It is one of the most essential and important commodities required for a healthy society. In this paper, an attempt was taken to evaluate the water quality for both surface water and ground water in and around Rourkela, the Steel City of Orissa. The evaluation involves the study of meteorology, hydrogeology, demography and analysis of physico-chemical parameters. From analyzed data, it was found that, except a few all other parameters are not within the permissible limit. The overall water quality for drinking purposes belongs to poor to very poor quality but the water quality for agricultural purposes are found to be suitable. Panpose area is the major polluting part of surface water in river Brahamani. In most of the areas the physico-chemical parameters of both ground water and surface water are found to be much higher than the permissible limiting value.

Molecular Insights into the Improved Bioactivity of Interferon Conjugates Attached to a Helical Polyglutamate

“…A smoothing function was applied to nonbonded forces with a switching cutoff distance of 1.0 nm, and a pair list distance of 1.45 nm. The time step was set as 1 fs,and the number of time step for producing the required trajectories is 10 9 , i.e., 1000 ns. MD simulation with explicit solvent: The solvents were explicitly represented by the TIP3P model under periodic boundary conditions (PBC). Na+ and Cl – were added to make neutralize the system and the salt concentration 0.1 mol/L.…”

Surface nonuniformities in latex paints due to evaporative mechanisms

“…Hence it is reasonable to assume that the evaporation rate is independent of the particle volume fraction. Additionally, monolayers (from surfactant) on the air‐film interface can influence the evaporation rate . However, for simplicity we neglect this possible effect.…”
