The hydrology of high altitude glacierized basin in Himalaya is complex to understand due to high variability in climate and lack of hydro-meteorological data. In this study, analysis of hydrological, glacier ablation and meteorological records have been made for Dunagiri Glacier (~4,200 m)...

Soil loss due to water erosion was estimated in Kangra region of western Himalaya using revised universal soil loss equation modelling (RUSLE) in conjunction with Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The various parameters such as rainfall erosivity (R), soil erodibility...

In this paper, we discuss two new computational techniques for solving a generalized fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS) with arbitrary triangular fuzzy numbers (m,α,β). The methods eliminate the non-negative restriction on the fuzzy coefficient matrix that has been considered by almost every...

Western Canada is endowed with considerable reserves of deep un-mineable coal, which can be converted to syngas by means of a gasification process called underground coal gasification (UCG). The syngas can be transformed into hydrogen (H2) through commercially available technologies employed in...

A model-FUNNEL-GHG-OS (FUNdamental ENgineering PrinciplEs- based ModeL for Estimation of GreenHouse Gases in the Oil Sands) based on fundamental engineering principles was developed to estimate the specific energy consumption and GHGs (greenhouse gas emissions) for upgrading bitumen to produce...

This study investigates whether a firm's research and development (R&D) intensity influences its choice of an inventory leanness strategy and how R&D intensity and inventory leanness collectively impact its performance. This study documents two findings in a dataset comprising 43,634...
