2. Extraction Method and Isolation of Phytoconstituents from the Chloroform Extract of Plant Solanum Nigrum L. By Colunm Chromatography

Abstract Solanum nigrum L. (Kaambal) (Kashmiri) has been traditionally used to treat pathological ailments like fever, ulcers, bacterial infections, fungal infections, jaundice and liver disorders (Creasy et al.,1981; Capizzi et al., 2003). Column chromatography in chemistry is a method used to purify individual chemical compound from mixtures of compounds. It is often used for preparative applications on scales from micrograms up to kilograms. The main advantage of column chromatography is the relatively low cost and disposability of the stationary phase used in the process.The classical preparative chromatography column is a glass tube with a diameter from 5 mm to 50 mm and a height of 5 cm to 1 m with a tap and some kind of a filter (a glass frit or glass wool plug – to prevent the loss of the stationary phase) at the bottom.

3. Strategy for Flexible Spaces in Housing – A Study With Reference To Agraharams in Kumbakonam

Some spaces in architecture have been used in different applications. Hence let us think of some of these spaces which are flexible for the multi-purpose utiliZation of spaces. With the advances in technology the various elements which form the interior spaces such as the walls, floors. and roofs need not be designed in a rigid way. Such flexible options would give more options for flexibility to space and can be called as a multi-application’ space. Prehistoric man started constructing his dwelling using his own ideas. Where nature provided caves and trees were the two main paradigms which acted as shelter, stone, and wooden shelters then came into existence. The next stage progressed with the use of animal bones and skins of animals as he used plains for hunting and agriculture being an occupation. This architectural progression of using animal bones and skins gives an option to flexible opening and closing from the past. Hence from centuries back invention of lightweight structures been utilized by man. The main objective of flexible spaces in architecture is providing spaces that change structure pertaining to the required performance and application. Any space or structure that is designed for flexibility should be identified by their interior elements like a floor, ceiling, and walls where there is a scope of shrinking and expanding.

8. A Case Study in Designing and Analysis of Cost for a Solar Photo Voltaic System

The world faces an increasing an environmental pollution basically as a result of combustion of conventional energy sources. India currently depends on conventional energy to supply power to her teaming population. Due to this, the energy generated does not meet demand. Consequently, the power supply is erratic and areas isolated from the main cities lack power supply. Therefore, the need to develop a non-conventional source of energy generation such as solar cannot be overemphasized. A photovoltaic system that can increase energy output and/or supply power to isolated areas of the country is a good choice, considering the abundance of solar radiated energy in India. In this work as PV system model is designed to work either as a standalone PV system or as grid integrated and the payback period is calculated for the same. The developed model may be useful in the prediction of PV cells behavior under different physical and environmental parameters. The result obtained showed the maximum power output and the corresponding maximum voltage of solar module. Study results demonstrate that, under complex irradiance conditions, the power generated by the new configuration is enhanced than that of the traditional configuration. The solar PV system can be widely used in many consumer applications, such as PV vests for cell phones and music players.

11. Power Quality Enhancement and Harmonics Reduction in Non Linear Loads Using Vienna Rectifier

This project is designed to improve power quality and to reduce current type harmonics distortion and power factor correction in domestic non-linear loads with the help of Vienna rectifier (three phase three level three switch pulse width modulation rectifier). Harmonics distortion in the electric distribution system is increasingly growing due to the widespread use of non-linear loads. Most modern power supplies are non linear load which contains electronic devices that do not conduct current over the full cycle of the applied voltage and so introduce harmonics in to the power network. Hence improve the power quality and gives unity power factor from the supply side. The paper compiles and discusses the harmonics reduction method, power factor correction, and power quality improvement technique. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system reduces current type harmonics distortion and power quality improvement in an efficient way.

17. Magnetic Gearing System

With the advent of technology and science, researchers have shown interest and developed a new technology incorporating permanent magnets. This concept is applied in magnetic gearing to achieve low-speed high- torque direct-drive operation. The speed is altered by the use of gears and gearboxes. The magnetic meshing of gear overcomes the limitations of mechanical gearing system like vibrations, noise, friction due to contact. The efficiency of 99% or greater can be achieved at full load conditions. The magnetic force of attraction aids in the magnetic meshing of the gear teeth. There is no physical contact of the gear teeth. By the use of such system, the wear and tear of the gears are reduced to a great extent. The heat generated in the gears while working is almost nil in this method. Unlike mechanical gearing system, the process of transmitting power is smooth and silent. Magnetic gearing system can be incorporated in automobiles for transmission of power to achieve higher efficiency. This kind of setup requires very minimum maintenance. Permanent magnets are used to produce the magnetic field which helps in the transmission of energy without contact. Ferrite magnets and high power rare earth neodymium magnets are used in making the gears.

27. Sliding Mode Controller with Modified Sliding Function of Buck Converter Dc-Dc

The dc-dc buck converter is some of the most widely used power electronics circuit for its high conversion efficiency and flexible output voltage. These converter used for electronic device are designed to regulate the output voltage against the change of the input voltage and load current. This leads to the requirement of more advanced control method to meet the real demand .The controller offers advantage such as fixed switching frequency and zero steady state error and give a better small signal performance at the designed operating point but under large parameter and load variation their performance degrades so sliding mode control technique are well suited to dc-dc converter as they are inherently variable structure system .SM controlled converter generally suffer from switching frequency variation when the input voltage and output load are varied. A comparison of the effect of PWM controller and SM control of the dc-dc buck converter response in steady state under line variation and load variation is performed. The comparison with the PWM controller the SM control provides better steady state response, better dynamic response and robustness against system uncertainty disturbance. The converter with conventional sliding mode result in steady state error in load voltage.

29. Android App for Hostel Outpass Form

The prime objective of “Hostel outpass application” is to create a full-fledged Android application which could help the students to fill an outpass form and get approval from the consent staff and coordinators at one click. The form will be approved finally by the parent also thus making sure that the student’s activity is brought to parents notice . This helps in avoiding the problems which occur when carried out manually . It improves the efficiency of the system. It is a customized user-friendly application for hostel students which provides outpass information . This project offers user to enter the data through simple and interactive manner. The user is provided with the option of viewing their previous records of outpass forms in the history tab . The student will be directed to form page where they will have to input the details in the required field regarding the outpass details . Once filled and submitted the form will be sent to the consent staff and Year Coordinator and parent for approval . If the coordinator does not approve your form he will have to give certain reasons to it which will be then forwarded to the consent student . If not the approved , the form will be directed to the student as a final verified form with which the student can go out and use it as an outpass form . Similarly the parent is also given a choice of declining the form. In most cases the parents will not decline but still this notification remains as an intimation made to the parents so that they will be aware of their ward’s activities inside the college premises. However incase of emergency situations the students might not be able to contact their parent or wait for their approval due to several reasons In that case our application provides a more distinguished manner of filling up the forms namely : Emergency and Holiday outpass forms . The emergency outpass form segment enables the user to fill the form at that instance and get it approved only by their respective class in charge and not wait for their parents approval . This will lessen the time consumption without taking much of the student’s time and will be helpful for their need .However the holiday outpass forms will have to be submitted priorly like say before 3 days from the date of issue , for the head of the department and the parent to approve because the student will be aware of the holiday before in hand and thus they can make their necessary arrangements prior to the date . This application enables the student to fill the form in a more easier way than filling it manually. Since everybody uses a smartphone , creating forms through an app is the most convenient manner of establishing such platforms . Parents are also made aware of their children’s activities thus the management need not take up the responsibility as a whole in case of emergency situations . This advancement in technology has proven worthy for all the citizens which enables technologists to come out with such developments useful to them . The main modules of this project are : Student Module HOD module Staff module Parent module Each of these modules have various functions that will enable this application to function as a whole in a more user friendly manner.

31. Comparative Study on Multistoried Building Using Linear and Non Linear Analysis

The effect of infill walls on the building is generally neglected in the analysis. In fact, an infill wall contributes to the lateral strength and stiffness of the structure. Seismic response analysis of multi-story building frame with infill was done by modeling the infill wall as an equivalent diagonal strut. For the equivalent diagonal strut, the thickness is taken equal to the thickness of the wall and width of the strut as per “Equivalent strut method”. The comparison of seismic responses is done for the multi-storied buildings with infill as an equivalent diagonal strut using linear and non-linear analysis. ETABS software is used for the present study.

34. Novel Low Power Half-Subtractor Using AVL Technique Based On 0.18µm CMOS Technology

Now a day’s arithmetic circuit plays an important role in designing of any VLSI system. Such as subtractor is one of them. In this paper, half-subtractor is designed by using the adaptive voltage technique (AVL). By using the AVL technique, half subtractor can reduce the power and delay element. We can reduce the value of total power dissipation by applying the AVLG (adaptive voltage level at ground ) technology in which the ground potential is raised and AVLS (adaptive voltage level at supply) in which the supply potential is increased. The AVL technique shows the significant reduction in power consumption and propagation delay. The circuit is simulated on cadence tool in 180 nanometre CMOS technology.

35. The “SIR” Impact of Demonetization on Indian Economy- Measure of Innovation

The concept of demonetization and its contribution to economic growth has become one of the most attractive topics for discussion in all political, academic and other decision-making forums of the current times. The critics of demonetization are absolutely right about the adverse impact of the policy, considering the short-term period. The real impact of demonetization, however, must be weighed in the long-run and not in the short-run. Considering the negative impact of demonetization on the economy is only nominal and short-term, it is necessary to attach statistical substantiation to vouchsafe that the long-term impact of demonetization on the growth of the economy is increasing and sustainable. It is in this context the current research holds its significance. Research is conducted to assess the “SIR” impact of demonetization on Indian Economy. “SIR” stands for Sustainability, Innovation and Rapidity. Accordingly the research is divided into three parts as: “The “SIR” impact of demonetization – statistical evidence testifying the contribution of demonetization to long-term sustainable economic growth in India”, “The “SIR” impact of demonetization-Measure of Innovation”, “The “SIR” impact of demonetization-Measure of Rapidity of Economic Growth”. While the first part of the work is presented in our last research paper at the International conference on “Recent trends in Technology and its impact on the economy of India”, conducted in Punjab on 24th, October 2017, the present paper describes how demonetization has contributed to innovation in the country, using Balanced Score Card technique. The results of the study clearly indicated that demonetization has promoted innovation by 46% within less than 10 months period making the country a hot bed for innovation.

36. Algorithmic Study for 3D Reconstruction of Objects

3D reconstruction is the process of capturing the shape and appearance of real objects. The task of recovering three-dimensional (3-D) geometry from two-dimensional views of a scene is called 3-D reconstruction. The third dimension plays an important role in the analysis of dynamic or static environments. 3D model of a scene has applications in various computer vision fields, including robotics, virtual reality, and entertainment. There is a large body of 3-D reconstruction algorithms available. Some algorithms only produce a sparse 3-D reconstruction while others are able to output a dense reconstruction. The selection of the appropriate 3-D reconstruction algorithm relies heavily on the intended application as well as the available resources. We divided the algorithm into two large categories depending on whether a prior calibration of the camera is required i.e. pre-calibrated and online calibrated algorithms.

37. Design of Biometric Electronic Voting Machine

It has always been an arduous task for the election commission to conduct free and fair polls in our country, the largest democracy in the world. Crores of rupees have been spent on this to make sure that the elections are riot-free. But, now-a-days it has become common for some forces to indulge in rigging which may eventually lead to a result contrary to the actual verdict given by the people. This paper aims to present a new voting system employing biometrics in order to avoid rigging and to enhance the accuracy and speed of the process. The system uses thumb impression for voter identification as we know that the thumb impression of every human being has a unique pattern. Thus it would have an edge over the present day voting systems. As a pre-poll procedure, a database consisting of the thumb impressions of all the eligible voters in a constituency is created. During elections, the thumb impression of a voter is entered as input to the system. This is then compared with the available records in the database. If the particular pattern matches with anyone on the available record, access to cast a vote is granted. But in case the pattern doesn’t match with the records of the database or in case of repetition, access to cast a vote is denied or the vote gets rejected. All the voting machines are connected to a network, through which data transfer takes place to the main host. The result is instantaneous and counting is done finally at the main host itself. The overall cost for conducting elections gets reduced and so does the maintenance cost of the systems.

38. Steel Slag as a Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate In Terms of High Strength Concrete

The construction industry has a wide range of work globally. In today’s world, the construction rate is progressing very faster which results in the faster consumption of naturally occurring construction materials. The consumption rate of natural sand is increased very rapidly from last few years. In the recent era, global warming affects the environment very badly whose adverse effects can be seen as dry rivers and streams. We get natural sand from these rivers and streams but extraction in a large amount affects the environment. In this dissertation, the work is executed to study the optimum percentage replacement of steel slag with natural sand by which the excessive usage of fine aggregate can be minimized.

39. Good Blue Emission of Synthesized Zn2GeO4 Phosphor Doped with Eu (0.5%)

The present paper discusses an important phosphor material which is Zn2GeO4. The phosphor is prepared by taking appropriate quantities of ZnO and GeO2 of AR grade. This completes solid-state reaction. It is important to note here there is no evolving of the gases. Therefore this solid-state reaction can be called as Green chemistry route. The phosphor Zn2GeO4 : Base and Eu(0.5%) is Excited with 250, 255, 260, 265, 270, 275 nm the PL emission is found around 480nm. For 260nm excitation, the PL emission intensity of 400nm peak is increased by 75%. It can be stated that the increase PL emission peak intensity of 480nm peak is due to Eu3+ present in Zn2GeO4. This PL emission intensity may be due to the emission from Eu3+ and or the energy transfer Eu3+ to Ge. One of its promising application is to be used as phosphors in display technology such as field emission display which is considered to be the next generation flat panel displays.

41. Implementation of “The Payment of Bonus (Amendment) Act, 2015”

As per the payment of Bonus at 1965, 1st five years, Bonus is paid based on profit earned by the company during the financial year. Post 5 year i.e financial years of every organization having more than 10 employees required to pay the minimum bonus of 8.33% was assured irrespective of profit earned or not. If the profitability of the organization is substantially high & more than allocable surpluses in that case organisation have to pay maximum bonus is fixed at 20% and the balance is carried forward as “set-on” to cater the emergency for next years. As per the Bonus act amendment 2015, the bonus increase was declared retrospectively. Once the bonus is paid based on profit, after negotiation with employee’s representative, making it retrospective will make the additional burden on the employer. Therefore, the same is not fair and stay on retrospective effect is granted by Karnataka, Madras and few other High Courts. In addition, the bonus calculation is linked to Minimum wage. Since the minimum wage differs from state-to-state; within the state zone-to-zone and industry-to-industry, bonus payment based on minimum wage will not be uniform within the state, region, and industry. Therefore, linking of minimum wage act with bonus act will lead to disputes in the industry

42. Predictive and Stochastic Methodology for Software Effort Estimation

Software development is a systematic disciplined approach to the development, maintenance, and retirement of software. The main goal of software engineering is to produce high quality of software with a low cost and within a time and budget. A systematic project management is required to meet this goal. Software Project Management is a set of activities that are collectively called Project Planning. Before the project can begin, the project manager and software team must estimate the work to be done, the resources that will be required, and the time that will elapse from start to finish. If the customer will stay throughout the project, then that will be better for the software team and moreover, it is possible to get more quality and to completion of that project also within time.

The project entitled “Video-Based Face Recognition” is used for automatic face identification of characters in movies. Recognition of face in videos has drawn significant research interests and lead to many interesting applications. Automatic face identification of characters in videos is a challenging problem due to the huge variation in the appearance of each character. Although existing methods demonstrate promising results in the clean environment, the performances are limited in complex movie scenes due to the noises generated during the face tracking and face clustering process. In this system, two schemes of a global face-name matching based framework are proposed for robust character identification.

50. Feminine Sensibility in Kamala Das’s Poetry: An Overview

Feminism is the advocacy of woman’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. The various feminisms, however, share certain assumptions and concepts that underlie the diverse ways that individual critics explore the factor of sexual difference and privilege in the production, the form and content, the reception and the critical analysis and evaluation of works of literature: The basic view is that Western civilization is pervasively patriarchal (ruled by the father)- that is, it is male- centered and controlled and is organized and conducted in such a way as to subordinate women to men in all cultural domains : familial, religious, political, economic, social, legal and artistic. As Kamala Das is known for its extreme frankness in its nature of writing which encompasses all her sufferings and grievances, this present paper will traces out this feminine sensibility in her poetry with special references to her poems- An Introduction, Summer in Calcutta, My Story and The Sunshine Cat.

52. Effect of Naringenin on 3-NP Induced Huntington’s Disease like Symptoms by Estimations of Motor Co-ordination and Behavioral Parameters

The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Naringenin, a flavonoid on 3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP)-induced Huntington’s disease like symptoms by estimations of motor co-ordination and behavioral parameters. 3-NP is an irreversible inhibitor of complex II in the mitochondria. 3-NP-induced neurodegeneration has been widely used as an animal model of Huntington’s disease (HD). It replicates the pathology of HD by causing oxidative stress. Naringenin is a polyphenolic compound, a bioflavonoid, known to have a neuroprotective effect in a rat model of Alzheimer’s disease. In the present study, the neuroprotective effect of Naringenin on 3-NP induced oxidative stress in rat was determined by behavioral parameters. Rats were induced with 3-NP (15 mg/kg) intraperitoneally for 21 days and rats induced with 3-NP were treated with Naringenin (25mg/kg and 75mg/kg) for 21 days. 3-NP caused a decline in motor function in neurological score, locomotor activity and impaired rotarod activity. Naringenin treatment significantly improved grip strength indicating an improvement in motor performance, alterations in % spontaneous alternations. These findings suggest the antioxidant potential of Naringenin flavonoid against 3-Nitropionic acid induced neurotoxicity. However, more investigations are required to elucidate the cellular mechanisms of Naringenin against 3-Nitropropionic acid induced Huntington’s disease like symptoms.

The signs and symptoms of leukemia are non-specific in nature and also they are comparable to the symptoms of other mutual disorders. Manual microscopic inspection of stained blood smear or bone marrow aspirate is the only way to an effective diagnosis of leukemia. But this method is time-consuming and less accurate. In this paper, a technique for automatic detection and classification of AML in blood smear is presented. K-means algorithm is used for segmentation. KNN, NN and SVM are used for classification. GLCM is used for optimising the spectral features. The local binary pattern is used for texture description. Blood microscope images were tested and the performance of the classifier was analyzed.

62. Design and Development of a Portable Instrument for Quantification of Urea in Milk, Alcohol in Vinegar

Milk is the commonly consumed health drink of all ages. To meet the increasing demands of milk, the quality of milk produced has to be increased. This can be achieved by adding unwanted substances called adulterants in milk. Generally, urea is added to increase the quantity of milk and to reduce the quality of milk. The majority of people do not know how to judge about good acetic acid, they are perfectly satisfied if it is sour in taste and has the yellow color or the excellent old cider vinegar that is made by our farmers. It is easy to make cheap vinegar, and no doubt hundreds of people daily use a mixture of vitriol, water, in the firm belief that it is real vinegar, because they have purchased a liquid of that name. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to discuss on the determination of permissible level of alcohol in vinegar, urea in milk by using portable low cost instrument.

65. Mitigation of Sink Hole Attack in MANET Using ACO

MANET (Mobile Ad hoc network) is the emerging and most demanding technology of wireless network. Because of self-deliberate property, the network points behave as router or source and the nodes keep moving freely in the network area. MANET plays a significant role in connectionless infrastructure. Securing a network is the fundamental issue in MANET for securing the susceptible information from hackers. MANET has different attacks that are routing protocol attacks. The sinkhole is known as the severe one from all the attacks in MANET. It generally attracts the neighbor’s nodes towards itself and transmits the bogus or fake routing path. This attack decreases the network lifetime and increases the network overhead by boosting energy consumption and later destroys the network.In the proposed work, the routing protocol is being optimized by utilizing ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) with NN (Neural Network) for achieving enhanced performance as compared to existing work. Different parameters, namely, Bit error rate, throughput, an end to end delay and energy consumption are used for calculating the performance of the proposed work in MANET or to check the effect of Sinkhole attack. The environment created by simulating the work has 50 to 100 nodes. The width and height of the network are 1000 nodes.

67. Talaq and Shariath Law – A Study After Supereme Court Judgement On Talaq-I-Biddat

The concept of living together of a man and a women is as old as the human race history but the institution of marriage came into existence with the development of civilization. In other words it can be said that civilization has started with the marriage. Marriage is treated in all religions as a respectable relationship between the man and women. Where children are treated as the legal heirs. In most of the societies in case of death male partner the children are conferred with all the rights for the diseased man’s property. Before going into the various types of the institution of marriage in various civilizations across the world. Every religion has accepted marriage as a recognized relationship. Coming to the Indian scenario the main religion is Hindu where the marriage is a sacramental. In the ancient Indian mythology there are several examples of monogamy bigamy polygamy and even polyandry. But the people those who are living in India and following Islam are also following monogamy. The marriage is a contract in Muslim law. The government employees irrespective of their religion have to follow monogamy only. But there are several instances of polygamy also which are not reported. The question of polygamy in Muslim has come to lime light after the recent Supreme court judgment which is known as ‘triple talaq case’. An effort was made to discuss about the triple talaq and its consequences in the light of the supreme court judgment were discussed in this paper. Before discussing much about the impact of this judgment and Muslim marriage and diverse let us have a brief look on various aspects of Muslim marriage and diverse

73. A Brief Study of the Changing Nature of Indian Foreign Policy

The foreign policy of a country is the sum total of the principles, interests, and objectives which it seeks to promote through its relations with other countries. Preservation of national interest, achievement of world peace, disarmament, independence for Afro-Asian nations has been important objectives of India’s foreign policy. INDIA’S foreign policy between 1947 and 1964 was conceived almost entirely by one man – Jawaharlal Nehru. The systemic constraints on India’s foreign policy stemmed from the onset of the Cold War which virtually coincided with India’s independence in 1947. In the parliamentary election of March 1977, Indira Gandhi was defeated but while addressing the nation, Janta Party leader Morarji Desai as Prime Minister stressed to follow same policy on external issues. The changes in Indian foreign policy are based on India’s aspirations for great power status and coincide with, or at least follow the Indian economic reforms since the 1990s. One of the successful achievements the Indian policymakers achieved was 123 Agreement which signed between New Delhi and Washington. The Narendra Modi-led government which came into power in 2014 has accorded high priority to India’s Look East Policy. He made known to the world that India is not merely ‘Looking East’ but is now ‘Acting East’ as well, thus, revising the title to ‘India’s Act-East Policy’. The themes of greater connectivity, stronger cooperation, and broader contacts dominate India’s engagement with its neighbors today.

Why is he not attending the classes in the subject mathematics? Why does he create fuss or problems in the mathematics class? Why does he hate the teacher of mathematics and his subject? The list may be quite exhaustive with regard to such day to day or occasional problems faced by a teacher of mathematics with his one or more students. It can be easily concluded from the above discussion that diagnostic testing and: remedial teaching are inter-related and complementary to each other. However, the diagnosis not followed by the remedial treatment is useless. Similarly, a remedial task not based on the diagnosis of the nature and extent of the weaknesses may prove not only the wastage of the resources but can also prove dangerous to the well being of the affected persons. It is, therefore, essential that diagnostic testing in mathematics should necessarily be followed by the suitable remedial teaching.

80. Modeling and Analysis of Transformer

The transformers are an integral part of the power system. In transformers, the main consequence of harmonic currents is an increase in losses, mainly in windings, because of the deformation of the leakage fields. Higher losses mean that more heat is generated in the transformer so that the operating temperature increases, leading to deterioration of the insulation and a potential reduction in lifetime. Due to the non-linear loads, the transformers are much affected by the distorted currents and supply voltages which largely reduce its efficiency due to overheating. Nonlinear loads cause harmonics to flow in the power lines which can overload wiring and Many desktops, personal computers present nonlinear loads to the AC supply because of their power supplies design (capacitor input power supply). In power transformers, the main consequence of harmonic currents is an increase in losses, mainly in windings, because of the deformation of the leakage fields. Higher losses mean that more heat is generated in the transformer so that the operating temperature increases, leading to deterioration of the insulation and a potential reduction in lifetime. As a result, it is necessary to reduce the maximum power load on the transformer, a practice referred to as de-rating, or to take extra care in the design of the transformer to reduce these losses. To estimate the de-rating of the transformer, the load’s K Factor may be used. Thus analyzing this problem and reducing the losses of the transformer has become a major area of research in today’s scenario. This report includes the effects of non-sinusoidal supply voltage on the transformer excitation current and the core losses which includes eddy current and hysteresis losses.

81. Phase Coded Radar Signals – Frank Code & P4 Codes

This dissertation presents an overview of phase-coded radar signals based on frank codes and p4 codes used in target detection techniques. For good range detection, high SNR is required. So matched filter is used in the processing of radar signals which maximizes the peak signal power to mean noise ratio. In this analysis, the ambiguity function plays an important role. Using ambiguity diagrams and autocorrelation functions, various waveforms are compared in terms of PSL (peak sidelobe level). Ambiguity diagrams are obtained by using MATLAB code. Primarily simple pulse has been taken but it has some drawbacks like poor range resolution, poor Doppler resolution, so pulse burst waveforms were taken and it has given better Doppler resolution than simple pulse with some range resolution. To improve the range resolution further, LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) is used. The idea here is to sweep the frequency band B linearly during the pulse duration T. It provides better range Resolution. To reduce the sidelobe levels further Weighting techniques are used for LFM, the presented weighting techniques are Hamming and Hanning. Because of these weighting techniques, PSL is reduced by -14.4 dB but the resultant is range doppler coupling and sidelobes, as it is a drawback, NLFM (non-linear Frequency Modulation) is used which provides lower sidelobes when compared to LFM. In NLFM the method for shaping the spectrum is to deviate from the constant rate of frequency change and to spend more time at frequencies that need to be enhanced. NLFM provides the better sidelobe levels compared to the LFM, and the performance characteristics of the NLFM waveforms for sawtooth frequency coding are studied. NLFM waveforms are sensitive to Doppler frequency shift and are not Doppler tolerant. The major limitations are system complexity, limited development of NLFM generating devices and stringent phase control requirements. With short pulse, short-range target detection is done efficiently but for long range, detection resolution decreases. Hence, the research work proceeded to other waveforms with high duration but the drawback is range resolution. To improve the range resolution, pulse compression technique is used and this can be achieved by frequency coding and phase coding. In this dissertation phase coding is employed for pulse compression of the signals and it is of two types named binary phase codes and polyphase codes. For Barker code of length 7, a sidelobe level of -16.9 dB is obtained, Barker code of length 11, a sidelobe level of -20.82 dB and Barker code of length 13, a sidelobe level of -22.27 dB is obtained. Here the Barker code is limited to 13 and sensitive to Doppler shift. So to reduce the sidelobe level further Frank code has been introduced. Frank code is derived from Barker code and it is a square length sequence. The Frank code is derived from a step approximation to a linear frequency modulation waveform using M frequency steps and M samples per frequency. The Frank code has a length or processing gain of N_c=M^2. For a Frank code of length 16, a sidelobe level of -21.07 dB is obtained but this code is limited up to the maximum length of 139. P4 code belongs to polyphase code. It has no restriction on code elements, and are normally derived from the phase history of frequency modulated pulse generated, which is used for any length of the sequence and it has provided the sidelobe level of -31.4089 dB. It provides a better sidelobe level and Doppler resolution.

82. Design of DC Architecture for Large-Scale Non-Grid-Connected Wind Power Generation System

In this paper, a dc architecture for large-scale non-grid-connected wind power generation system (WPGS) is presented. Unlike the existed wind farms, the proposed structure has the merits of eliminated reactive power, low power loss, long transfer distance, and etc. With the purpose to overcome the effects of integrating large wind power plants into utility systems, a creative concept of direct integration of high energy consumption industry (HECI) with large scale WPGS where the fluctuant power or whole power is consumed by the HECI. A three-phase full-bridge high power step-up dc/dc converter is adopted to meet the implementation of the system. Compared to the traditional single-phase full-bridge dc/dc converter, the presented converter features strong power management ability, high efficiency, and flexible transformer design. With proper control strategy, both of the voltage level before and after the dc transformer can be stabilized with a closed-loop converter located at the receiving end of the transmission system. Finally, a 200MW wind farm is simulated with the proposed dc architecture. The results verify the feasibility of the presented WPCS and system control method.

83. Ethnobotanical Studies of Sacred Aegle marmelos Plant

Ethnobotany is a multidisciplinary science defined as the interaction between plants and people. The relationship between plants and human culture is not limited to the use of plants or food, clothing, and shelter but also includes their use of religious ceremonies, ornamentation and health care. In the past, ethnobotanical research was predominantly a survey of the plant used by villagers. A trained botanist identified the plants and recorded their uses. Sometimes an anthropologist was present to translate the disease descriptions, but rarely was a physician available to identify the disease. In this paper, we discussed 8 plants that selected from the total work associated with the topic.

87. Ultrasonic Studies in the Solutions of Levofloxacin Hemihydrate, Tacrolimus Monohydrate and Lisinopril Dihydrate in Methanol

Ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity have been measured experimentally in the solutions of hydrates in nonaqueous medium i.e., methanol at two temperatures 30 and 40oC. From the derived parameters like internal pressure, adiabatic compressibility, free volume etc., the solute-solvent and solute-solute interactions are estimated. Also in all the three hydrates in methanol, apparent molar volume, apparent molar compressibility are computed and the limiting / partial molar volumes and compressibilities have been obtained to reveal the nature of interactions. Jones – Dole constants also evaluated are of high value in estimating the nature of interactions. On the whole, the dominance of solute-solute interactions in the solutions of levofloxacin hemihydrate is observed. In the solutions of tacrolimus monohydrate, mostly solute-solute interactions and strong solute-solvent interactions in the solutions of lisinopril dihydrate are found to be dominant.

91. Characterization and Quantization of Solid Waste in Ganga Villages of Haridwar

One of the most emerging challenges of the modern world of rapid urbanization is management and disposal of solid waste. Solid waste is generated from each and every household of the society so it is one of the most important aspects to consider for the management and disposal factors of generated waste. About 47% of world’s
population (3.31 billion) and 68.84% (0.83308 billion) of India’s population resides in rural areas. The results showed that average daily per capita of household waste and cattle waste generation is 0.18, 18 kg/cap-day respectively. The main portion of household solid waste is organic and bio-degradable which is around 75% and remaining fraction comprise of paper, polyethene, plastics, textiles, rubber, glass, metal and inert are 6.62, 2.45, 0.89, 2.57, 0.32, 0.42, 0.41 and 5.26 in percentage respectively. The bulk density of household and cattle waste is 310.33 kg/m3, 805.076 kg/m3 respectively. The physical composition of household waste is moisture content, ash content, organic content is 83%, 31%, and 69% respectively and chemical characteristics (food and organic fraction) of the generated waste including the amount of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus is 1.74, 0.34, and 0.7 % respectively. Heavy metals in the waste were found to be in the very trace amount, so no further treatment is required. As the above results show that the bigger part of the solid waste generated in studied areas is organic and bio-degradable and most suitable techniques for this type of waste are composting and bio-methanation. For further
treatment, this waste can be composted and used as fertilizer in agricultural fields and another way to deal with this
waste is installation of biogas plant in which methane can be produced and the remaining slurry can be converted in
to nutrient-rich compost for agricultural purpose to minimize the chemical fertilizer application especially in the
agricultural field nearby the river. Finally, 100% of the solid waste has been utilized and its useful by-products are
bio-gas and fertilizer generation, creating a win-win situation.

92. A Study on the Plastic Waste Treatment Methods for Road Construction

Plastic found in different forms is almost 5% amongst municipal solid waste, which can prove to be toxic in nature. It is a common sight in both urban and rural areas to find empty plastic bags and another type of plastic packing material littering the roads as well as drains. Due to its biodegradability, it creates stagnation of water and associated hygiene problems. In order to contain this problem experiments have been carried out whether this waste plastic can be reused productively in the construction of roads. The experimentation at several institutes indicated that the waste plastic, when added to hot aggregate will form a fine coat of plastic over the aggregate and such aggregate, when mixed with the binder is found to give higher strength, higher resistance to water and better performance over a period of time. Therefore, it is proposed that we may use waste plastic in the construction of Rural Roads.

A reliable Ensemble Averaging(REA) is a proposed technique which provides an estimate of Associated
Uncertainty Range and Reliability of future climate change projections for Indian summer monsoon (June-
September), stimulated by the state of the art Coupled General Circulation Models (CGCMs) under
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5). An evaluation of historical as well as future (RCP4.5
scenario) simulations often CGCMs in the REA technique projects a mean monsoon warming of 1.215 0 C
with an associated uncertainty range () of 0.22 0 C, and an all-India precipitation increase by 7.109 mm/
the month with an associated uncertainty ((P) of 2.592 mm/month for 2021–2050. REA technique also shows
a considerable reduction in the uncertainty range compared with the simple average ensemble approach
and is characterized by consistently high-reliability index in a comparative study with individual CGCMs.
The results suggest achievability of REA methodology in constituting the realistic future Indian Monsoon
Projections by preparing a performance model and a descriptive confluence criteria.

Anaerobic wastewater treatment differs from conventional aerobic treatment. The absence of  oxygen leads to controlled conversion of complex organic pollutions, mainly to carbon dioxide and methane. Anaerobic treatment has favourable effects like removal of higher organic loading, low sludge production, high pathogen removal, biogas gas production and low energy consumption. Psychrophilic anaerobic treatment can be an attractive option to conventional anaerobic digestion for municipal sewage and industrial wastewaters that are discharged at moderate to low temperature.

97. Analysis of Duration of Heavy Vehicle Induced Occlusion of Overhead and Sideway Signs

Traffic signs are used to convey critical information, such as directions, advisories, etc. to drivers, however
common experience indicates that there exist instances of missing a sign due to visual occlusion.
The situation leading to missing a sign typically arise from an obstruction in the cone of vision of the driver
because of the presence of a larger vehicle of it. The combination of distance headway, vehicle heights,
vehicle speeds and sing characteristics, which may lead to occlusion, have been mathematically analyzed
in this thesis. The analysis shows that if a traffic stream is operating in specific regions of a Cartesian apace than larger vehicles will occlude a sing from smaller vehicles following or adjacent to them. While studying such occlusion reading time of signs were also taken into account. Given the expected stream behavior on a road, one can determine when vehicles will have trouble reading signs.

In general, the comatose patients never respond for anything however they might abnormal movements are frequently encountered in patients with brain injury characterization of these movements and their underlying pathophysiology is difficult due to the comatose or uncooperative state of the patient. Thus, we reviewed the available literature regarding abnormal movements encountered in acutely ill patients with brain injuries. There are so many abnormal movements in the seen in each category as well as their epidemiologic, semiology and clinicopathologic correlates. We propose a practical paradigm that can be applied at the bedside for diagnosing abnormal movements in patients. which they are self-conscious and that can make them reticent. The Hand Talk glove is a normal, cloth driving glove fitted with flex sensors. The sensors output a stream of data that varies with the degree of bend made by the fingers. Flex sensors are sensors that change in resistance depending on the amount of bend on the sensor. They convert the change in a bend to electrical resistance and send data to the doctor.

100. Thermal Energy Storage in Sensible Materials: A Review

The intermittent, variable and unpredictable nature of solar energy lead to mismatch the rate and time of
solar energy collection and its thermal applications. As a result, it is necessary to have energy storage unit which
stores solar energy when the collection is in excess of load and discharges the same when the direct collection is inadequate. To store solar energy in sensible heat storage materials, pebble bed systems are simpler, economical in design and development as compared to latent or thermo-chemical energy storages. A number of studies are available on heating and cooling of pebble beds describing their parameters like pebble size/diameter, bed porosity, surface area, a shape factor of storage media/pebbles to observe the behavior and characteristics of storage devices. Many correlations are available to analyze the heat transfer coefficients, friction factors and pressure drops in between the solids and circulating fluids in pebble beds. The relations are of importance and best suited for energy storage system modeling.

101. Ranking Radically Association Among Users On Web Forum

In the recent past, it has been found that the web is used as a tool by radical or extremist groups and users to
perform several kinds of mischievous acts with concealed agendas and promote their ideologies in a sophisticated manner. Some of the web forums are especially being used for open discussions on critical issues influenced by radical thoughts. We propose an application of collocation theory to identify radically influential users in web forums. The radicalness of a user is captured by a measure based on the degree of match of the commented posts with a threat list. The experiments are conducted on a standard data set to find radical and infectious threads, members, postings, ideas, and ideologies. Proposed system to rank the user on text and image-based similarity measures. We make the following key contributions in the proposed system: An application for analyzing the data it may be text data or image data. If it is text data it will go through preprocessing stages like stop word removal, suffix removal, then by cosine similarity function, it checks the similarity with threat list then decide whether that user is radical or not. If its image data, if it contains text data then it separates text from the image by OCR technique. Send that text to text analysis and image goes through image preprocessing like image filtering, EHD to take aggregate features, using similarity measures it checks similarity with training data set. Finally, after measures of radicalness of user, it ranks the users by PageRank algorithm.

102. The Guerilla Warfare Techniques with the New Age Startups and Management Methods – A Comparative Study

A slighter degree of its root meaning "war" in Spanish, is usually translated as & little war & and the word, guerrilla has been used to refer to the concept as early as the 18th century. Incorrect Spanish usage, a person who is a member of a guerrilla unit is a guerrillero if male, or a guerrillera if female. This term became popular during the early-19th century Peninsular War, when the Spanish people rose against the Napoleonic troops and fought against a highly superior army using the guerrilla strategy. However this is not new to India. Lord Rama with his small vanara sena has won over Ravana. In the recent history, Rana Pratap Singh of Udaipur has made guerilla war with Emperor Akbar at Haldighati and won over it. The moghul army were approximately 20000 people and the Rana has got only 300 bhils in his army. To achieve greater targets and to reach higher altitudes, and to anchor at higher places with limited resources, manpower and technology this method is quite useful.

108. Multivariate Feature Descriptor based CBIR Model to Query Large Image Databases

The content-based image retrieval (CBIR) applications have grown their popularity in the past decade with the
exponential growth in the image data volumes. The social networks have aggravated the size of image data on the
internet. Social network enables everyone to upload the images of one’s choice, which becomes the reason behind
aggregation of millions of images on the cyber space. It’s not possible to query these large image databases with the
ordinary methods. Hence there was a strong requirement of a smart and intelligent method to discover the similar images, which has been accomplished by using the machine learning methods. In this paper, the multivariate feature descriptor method has been presented to extract the required and relevant information from the large image databases. The proposed multivariate method involves the image color and texture for the purpose of image matching to the query image (also known as a reference image). The most matching entities are returned as the final results by the image extraction method. There are four methods, which involves three singular feature and one multivariate feature-based models, have been implemented. The multivariate model has been found much stable and returned the maximum accuracy under this model.

113. Experimental and Numerical Study on Behavior of Externally Bonded RC T-Beams using GFRP Composites

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) application is a very effective way to repair and strengthen structures that have become structurally weak over their lifespan. FRP repair systems provide an economically viable alternative to traditional repair systems and materials. In this study experimental investigation on the flexural behavior of
RC T-beams strengthened using glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets are carried out. Reinforced concrete T beams externally bonded with GFRP sheets were tested to failure using a symmetrical two-point static loading system. Seven RC T-beams were cast for this experimental test. All of them were weak in flexure and were having same reinforcement detailing. One beam was used as a control beam and six beams were strengthened using
different configurations of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets. Experimental data on load, deflection and
failure modes of each of the beams were obtained. The effect of different amount and configuration of GFRP on ultimate load carrying capacity and failure mode of the beams were investigated. The experimental results show that externally bonded GFRP can increase the flexural capacity of the beam significantly. In addition, the results indicated that the most effective configuration was the U-wrap GFRP. A series of comparative studies on deflection between the present experimental data and results from finite element method and IS code method were made. A future area of research is being outlined.

114. Experimental Investigation of Compressive Strength Properties of Eco-Friendly Concrete

The rapid Urbanization and Industrialization all over the world has resulted in the large deposition of Plastic waste and Waste Tyre Rubber. This waste can be utilized under the proper condition to reduce the Cement content in Concrete. M 30 concrete is used for most of the constructional works. The strength of these concrete results has compared with concrete obtained of Plastic waste and Waste Tyre Rubber varying from 0% to 20%. Experimental investigations comprised of testing physical requirements of Coarse Aggregates, Fine Aggregates, Cement and the modifier Waste Plastic and Waste Tyre rubber. M 30 concrete design mix considered as per IS 10262-1982. The said percentage of modifier was blended with the cement concrete mix and the optimum modifier content was
found. Cubes and Cylinders were cast and tested for 28 days strength. These tests revealed that by adding Waste
plastics and rubber as a partial replacement in Fine Aggregate and Coarse aggregate by volume, the strength of concrete decreased. The cube strength decreased as the percentage replacement increased due to their poor binding properties. By using Plastic waste and Waste Tyre Rubber as a modifier, we can reduce the quantity of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate by their volume, hence be decreasing the overall cost of construction. The modified cement concrete can be used in the construction of small drainage works and rigid pavement. Effective utilization of waste plastics can be done for a good cause of protecting the global environment and effective solid waste management.

115. Energy Management in Indian Urban Transportation Sector – Issues and Challenges

The urban development in most of the Indian cities is the result of laissez-faire development with ribbon extension
along the major arterials emerging out of the city core, the Central Business District (CBD). Work trips constitute
the majority of the trips in urban areas and these are originating from residential locations to the work places most often called as the CBD areas. Work mean trip length and Passenger-Km are used as proxy to measure energy consumed in the transportation sector. Increase in spatial separation between the residential location and work places result in the long commuting distance and poor accessibility to the peripheral residential locations are encouraging more dependence on private and intermediate public transport. In this paper the problems associated with urban transport and the possible solutions are discussed. Also, the concept of Compact City as an attempt to integrated – land use-transportation is also presented.

116. A Study of Sustainable Transportation System in Ahmedabad and Delhi

This paper on sustainable urban transport attempts to overview an all-inclusive set of indicators which are taken up by planners, authorities in order to help cities for developing an integrated and sustainable transportation system.
Developing countries like India, where unplanned urbanization and unparalleled growth in motorization have led to
increased focus on sustainable use of mass transit systems like commuter rails and bus transportation. An integrated
transportation strategy is most needed so that these modes of transport are integrated efficiently to facilitate the
sustainable transportation. The vision of planners is to ensure easy access, safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable mobility for all sections of the society in our cities. The present transport system in most of the Indian cities is stressed under an urban environment which is made up of different sub-systems. Hence it is obvious to understand how these subsystems perform in order to have a sustainable mass-transit transportation network. The various modes of urban transportation – BRTS, Metro, Bicycle-sharing, usage of CNG fuels – currently available in the city of Ahmedabad and Delhi are discussed in the paper in the context of urban transport characteristics, public transport, and non-motorized transport. For promoting sustainable urban transport in a holistic manner it is equally important to understand the social, economic and environmental sustainability of each of these sub-systems.

The occlusal disharmony has been proven to cause Temporomandibular Disorder(TMD) but not for every patient with occlusal interference. Elimination of occlusal interference and subsequent stabilizing of occlusion is the most important aspect of treating temporomandibular disorder 1.The concept of Temporomandibular Disorder(TMD) usually includes a wide variety of signs and symptoms such as pain from the jaw muscles or on mandibular movement, clicking sound, locking/luxation of joints as well as restricted mandibular movement. Often, TMD has
been evaluated on the basis of variation in rather insignificant signs and symptoms, for instance, variation in muscle sites that are tender to palpation, without correlation to experienced problems. The etiology of TMD is usually considered multifactorial. Untreated malocclusion, unstable occlusion, stress, psychologic factors, trauma, individual predisposition and structural conditions have been suggested as possible etiologic factors.

The article talks about e-Governance and implementation challenges. e-Governance is the use of Information and communication technology for enhancing relationships between the Government and its citizens. India has witnessed a tremendous change in the way the citizen-centric services have changed from paper-based to completely online. With a lot of encouragement from the present Modi Government a lot of human and financial capital has been invested in almost all the sectors to computerize various processes. In that race for making services online
very less, a thought has gone to analyze the hindrances which need to be overcome first before its implementation in the entire country. Our country still has villages which lack proper electrification. It is still having people which are illiterate for whom operating a computer is a distant dream. Also as per statistics of Ministry of Electronics, Govt of India the failure rate of e-governance projects is pretty high.(85%). A developing country cannot afford to invest time and money in projects that fail and so call for a serious introspection. The article talks about the various implementation challenges under the heads of economic, technical & social issues.

128. A Novel Technique of Data Security in Cloud Computing based on Blowfish with MD5 method

In cloud computing, the user transfers their burden of installing the software, data maintenance, infrastructure, storage space etc. on the cloud service provider. These providers offer to their clients the possibility to store, retrieve and share data with other users in a transparent way[1]. In this paper, a method is implemented for ensuring the data security of the files being uploaded to the cloud by different clients. This security is achieved through a technique of encryption using Blowfish with MD5 method. The results of the proposed method have shown that the
size of the encrypted file is decreased as compared to that of existing techniques. So, the storage space of
the cloud is used in a much efficient manner when the proposed technique is implemented. Moreover, the replay attack is also defended more efficiently through the proposed method thus increasing the security level of the cloud.With the use of MD5 method along with blowfish, the data is encrypted in lesser time hence making it difficult for the attacker to hack the data, of the client, which is uploaded on the cloud.

129. Research on Effect of Process Parameter on Micro Hardness of Friction Stir Welded Aluminium Alloy [A6061] Joints

Friction stir welding (FSW) process is a promising solid-state joining process with the potential to join
low-melting-point material, particularly, aluminum alloy. The most attractive reason for joining aluminum alloy
with this process is the avoidance of the solidification defects formed by conventional fusion welding processes. In
this research article, an attempt has been made to develop an empirical relationship between FSW variables and
Micro Hardness. A factorial design was used by considering three factor and eight trials, which enables to quantify
the direct and interactive effect of three numeric factors, that is, tool rotational speed, welding speed, and
shoulder diameter on the Micro Hardness. The developed relationship is useful for prediction of Micro Hardness
in friction stir welded AA6061 aluminum alloy joints at 95% confidence level. It will also be helpful for selection
of process variable to obtain the desired strength of the joint. Furthermore, the optimized capabilities in design-
the expert software was used to numerically optimize the input parameters.

136. Bio-Hybrid: The Next Gen Implant

Osseo-integrated dental implants have been widely used for the rehabilitation of tooth loss. Although dental implants are considered an available treatment in the paradigm shift from traditional dental therapies, such as fixed dental bridges and removable dentures, the fundamental problems must be overcome prior to their clinical use in young patients who are still undergoing jawbone growth. A bio-engineered functional bio-hybrid implant that is combined with adult-derived periodontal tissue and attached with bone tissue can act as a substitute for cementum. This bio-hybrid implant was successfully engrafted and it restored physiological function, including bone remodelling, regeneration and appropriate responsiveness to noxious stimuli. Thus, this article reviews the functional bio-hybrid implant’s potential for clinical use as a next-generation dental implant using adult-derived tissues.

137. Epidemiological Studies in Workers Exposed to Steel Dust

Context: Steel is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be
the backbone of human civilization. Although studies on adverse health effects in steel
industry workers were reported from European and other countries, studies of this nature are
meager in Indian ethnic group, where the health problems in steel industry workers are very
serious. In the present study, we focused on adverse health effects in steel industrial workers
who were occupationally exposed to steel dust. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first
investigation of its kind.
Methods: The study was carried out in 435 steel industry workers in the group of 20-60 years
who are occupationally exposed to steel dust and in 426 subjects with no history of
occupational exposure to steel dust or any other chemicals (control group). Information on the
age, medical history, and habits like smoking, consumption of alcohol, surgical history,
medication, and nature of job, marital life and years of service was recorded in a standard
questionnaire.
Results: The results have shown an increase in health problems particularly Hair loss,
respiratory problems, diabetes, joint pains, followed by hypertension, headache, and eye
problems. Their frequency of health problems was high in steel industrial workers compared
to controls (71.03% vs 31.0%).
Conclusion: On the basis of the results obtained in the present study, definite conclusions
were drawn on the nature of health problems in workers of the steel industry. The frequency
of health problems was high in steel industrial workers compared to controls. This might be
due to the undue exposure to steel dust at work place. Hence appropriate precautionary
measures have to be taken to prevent or minimize the exposure of the workers to steel dust.

138. Bridge Monitoring and Alert Generation System Using IOT

Many of the bridges in cities built on the river are subject to deterioration as their lifetime is expired but they are still in use. They are dangerous to bridge users. Due to heavy load of vehicles, high water level or pressure, heavy rains these bridges may get collapse which in turn leads to disaster. So, these bridges require continuous monitoring. So we are proposing a system which consists of a weight sensor, water level point contact sensor, Wi-Fi module, Arduino microcontroller. This system detects the load of vehicles, water level, and pressure. If the water level, water pressure and vehicle load on the bridge cross its threshold value then it generates the alert through buzzer and auto barrier. If it is necessary, then the admin assign the task to the employees for maintenance.

139. Artificial Solar Oxygen Tree

This paper introduces a new solar technology that emulates how trees convert sunlight into energy. An Artificial Oxygen Tree which aims at serving the humanity toward the planet, having an ability to perform electrolysis of the sewage water and obtain the Hydrogen (for fuel) and Oxygen (to be emitted in the air) along with generating electricity from solar energy with the help of PV (Photo-voltaic) panels on the top of the trees. The model will be
placed on the sewage tanks and at the base, Electrolysis will be carried out. It’s a process in which electrical power source is connected to the 2 electrodes which are placed in the water, and a current is passed resulting into the appearance of Hydrogen at the cathode and Oxygen at the anode. The Hydrogen will be stored in a tank and can be used as a fuel and oxygen to be let out in the air for breathing. The PV on the top of the tree will collect energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. A PV cell is made of a semiconductor material, usually crystalline silicon,
which absorbs sunlight. This electricity is stored and is used to light the LED’s on the tree, hence making it as a streetlight. The actual model can be used to charge the gadgets like mobile phones and laptops. Advertisements will be displayed on the LCD screen. This will attract the sponsors.

140. Critical Review of Risks to Water Resources from Hydraulic Fracturing

Since the early 2000s, oil and natural gas production in the United States have been transformed through
technological innovation. Hydraulic fracturing, combined with advanced directional drilling techniques, made it
possible to economically extract oil and gas resources previously inaccessible. The resulting surge in production
increased domestic energy supplies and brought economic benefits to many areas of the United States. The growth in
domestic oil and gas production also raised concerns about potential impacts to human health and the environment,
including potential effects on the quality and quantity of drinking water resources. Some residents living close to oil
and gas production wells have investigated changes in the quality of drinking water and assert that hydraulic
fracturing is responsible for these changes. Other concerns include competition for water between hydraulic
fracturing activities and other water users, especially in areas of the country experiencing drought, and the disposal of wastewater generated from hydraulic fracturing. This investigation synthesizes available scientific literature and data to assess the potential for hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas to change the quality or quantity of drinking water
resources and identifies factors affecting the frequency or severity of potential changes. This investigation can be
used by federal, tribal, state, and local officials; industry; and the public to better understand and address any
vulnerabilities of drinking water resources to hydraulic fracturing activities.

141. Seismic Analysis of Step Back Structure on Sloped Ground

This project focuses on the analytical investigation of a step back structure on slope ground with three
different inclinations (10 0, 30 0 and45 0 ). The inclination is achieved in two different phases, in first phase three different inclinations are obtained by maintaining the height of the building constant and in second phase width of the structure was maintained constant. The modeling and analysis were completed using STAAD-Pro. The seismic analysis was carried out by two different methods: Seismic coefficient method and response spectrum method. From the analysis, it was observed that for any inclination ground story short column in the middle of the structure carries more load compared to the long length column. Increasing the angle of fixed height the column forces and stiffness of the structure decrease with increase in the angle whereas for fixed width structures it was increasing.

142. Growth and Development in a Case of Congenital Hypothyroidism

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) ranks very high among the most common disorders treated in a paediatric endocrinology clinic. In the Western world, CH is detected in 1:3,500 to 1:4,000 newborns (1) by the neonatal thyroid screening (NTS) programme. The main goal of NTS commenced in the 1970s is an early diagnosis of CH and prompt initiation of ongoing thyroxine replacement therapy, to be administered regularly for the affected infants. This measure is aimed to avoid the inevitable outcome of permanent neurological handicap in untreated children or in whom onset of treatment was considerably delayed. When treated early, CH is also one of the most
common preventable causes of mental retardation. In this regard, while emphasizing the role of NTS in early diagnosis, it is worthy of note that the incidence of CH reported from NTS carried out in various centres in India is much higher, viz., 1:1,200 to 1:1,500 newborns. (2). Naturally, it follows that NTS must be universally available in India to identify all affected infants by prompt diagnosis to begin regular replacement therapy in the initial two weeks of life (3).

155. Raising Performance of iPhone using Swift Language over Other Programming Languages

The new programming language gives the fundamental to foil its importance with the current programming language to calculate the furtherance the new programming language gives to the developers. These types of studies can show the importance, improvements, and purpose of new programming languages. In this article, we analyze the
new programming language of Apple that is swift with the existing programming language (Objective-C). We are going to describe the changes, components and freshness to verify the words of Apple said about the Swift language.
For the replacement over objective-C, Swift needs to assure that it contains a lot of new features as Apple said. Apple has sure-fire that swift will be faster than the Objective-C, as well as it contains a lot of modern language features that are necessary for today’s era. In this thesis, it is justified by creating iOS application totally in swift. Developer finds that swift is faster and more efficient by Objective-C. It’s proof that swift has a lot of new features and many advantages over the Objective-C and it is also easy to learn. Swift was launched to offer replacement of Objective-C because this has a syntax which barely evolved from the time of its creation and has a big difference with other programming languages that have appeared in the modern era, because they have based on C++ syntax. For this, Swift is inspired by a new programming language like C++, C#, Go, Java, Python, Ruby, JavaScript. Then this syntax is different than the former language. The Swift’ s syntax is more simple because it does not use pointers and includes improvements in its data structures and in its syntax. Swift has a simple syntax which helps developers to have fewer mistakes. Swift is an object-oriented and imperative programming language as Objective-C but swift incorporates the functional programming. Some examples of this are filters, amp. Due to these facts, it is important to learn swift to check if Swift could be a programming language adapted to the new times and if it could facilitate the application development for platforms.

156. Influence of Stratified Soil on Seismic Response of Pile Supported Building

In the last few decades, it has been perceived that Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) changed the reaction attributes of a structural system due to huge and firm nature of structure and frequently, soil softness. In the current study, to depict the influence of soil structure interaction on the seismic response of a structure due to earthquake loading, a 5 storied (G+4) simple square building supported on pile foundation resting on stratified soil was selected. The building sections were modeled and analyzed for different configurations (i.e., with and without slab and infill) using finite element method SAP2000. The deformations under seismic loading in the structure and piles by incorporating the effect of soil-structure interaction and fixed base condition were extracted, compared and discussed. Impact of variety of the parameters on different soil conditions like variation in soil profile and number of soil layers, influence of slab and infill are considered for which the buildings are modelled by alternate approaches, namely, (1) bare frame with fixed supports, (2) frames including slab and infill with support accounting for soil-flexibility. The results indicate that the roof displacement varies significantly for different soil layer combinations if included the soil structure interaction compared to that of fixed base analysis. Thus considering the effect of SSI is essential. The horizontal displacement of the structure is maximum for a bare frame with slab when compared to the bare frame and in fill frame.  When infill wall is added to the structure, the horizontal displacement is decreased due to the stiffness of the infill wall.

164. Chemical, Mineralogical and Metallurgical Characterization of Goethite Rich Iron Ore Sinter

In this paper, the influence of structural water present in goethite rich ore fines on sinter properties like mean size, RI, RDI, TI, AI, and microstructure was studied. For this three plant sinters with different basicities (A1, A2, and A3) were experimentally produced varying the raw mix. From the study on variable basicity, it is found that increased basicity has good effects on the sinter properties. The desired norms of metallurgical properties for good quality sinter required for large size blast furnace met with increased tumbler index and decreased abrasion index. The RI is also better in highly fluxed sinter A3 and the RDI is low. All these are happening due to the availability of more free time and porosity. The mean-size of sinter also increases with the increase of basicity. The reducibility index and RDI of sinter A2 and A3 appear to be similar although there is a variation in chemistry and basicity, this may be attributed to use of more micro-fines in the raw material of sinter A3. The specific consumption of coke rate is highest for sinter A3 is also due to more micro-fines in raw materials. From the microstructure, it is found that in sinter A1 more magnetite and fewer ferrites are developed in comparison to A2 and A3. The silicoferrites of calcium and aluminium (SFCA) developed in sinter A2 and A3 are acicular in the structure which provides better strength to the sinter. Also, the porosity is more in case of A2 and A3 which can accelerate the reducibility process.

167. Bionic Arm Using Muscle Sensor V3

Current motorized limb prostheses provide rudimentary functionality for the application in everyday life. Together with a poor cosmetic appearance, this is the reason why a large percentage of amputees do not use their prosthetic device regularly. This paper seeks to present an overview of current state of the art research on neural interfaces. The focus lies on non-invasive recording with EMG and especially High-Density EMG sensors. Additionally, direct machine learning and pattern recognition algorithms for the decoding of the recorded signals are discussed. Finally, promising research directions for advanced prosthesis control will be discussed. The bionic arm uses EMG signals to control each action of the hand. In order to control them, we need to record the EMG signal for different actions. And compare it with real-time values to move the hand in a different manner. There are separate servo motors to control the actions of each finger separately. So these are programmed by using microcontrollers.

170. Association of Common PALB2 Polymorphisms with Ovarian Cancer: A Case-Control Study

Background: The partner and localizer of breast cancer 2 (PALB2) has an essential role in BRCA2 mediated DNA double-strand break repair by serving as a bridging molecule and acting as the physical and functional link between BRCA1&amp; 2 proteins. Truncating mutations in the PALB2 gene are rare but are thought to be associated with increased risk of developing breast and /or ovarian cancer in different populations. The present study was designed to investigate the variants of PALB2 and their association with OC.
Material & Methods: A total of 150 histopathologically confirmed ovarian cancer patients and 250 healthy age-matched controls were collected. Three SNPs c.2794 G/A( rs45624036), c.1010 T/C(rs45494092), and c.1676A/G(rs152451) of PALB2 gene were selected and genotyped by ARMS-PCR followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Appropriate statistical tests were applied to test for the significance of the results.
Results: A significant association of G/A (rs45624036) in inheritance models was observed & at the allelic level, the A allele conferred four-fold increased risk compared to G allele. Regarding T/C (rs45494092) polymorphism all the models revealed an association with OC and C allele showing eight-fold increased risk. With respect to A/G(rs152451) polymorphism, the protective role was observed in tested inheritance models in OC patients.
The Haplo analysis for the combination of all the three variants revealed increased risk with A-T-A and G-C- G haplotypes.(OR=4.50 ;95%CI 1.85-10.94;p=0.001,OR=26.36 ;95%CI 2.33 -297.91;p= 0.0085), whereas other haplotypes conferred a protective role in OC.
Conclusions: The present study suggests an essential role of PALB2 in the etiology of ovarian
cancer.

171. Design of Refill Band Spiral Winding Attachment on Lathe Machine

Now-a-days in this competitive era, it is most essential to complete jobs in smallest cycle time in order to achieve maximum profit at minimum wastage. Some leading, printing machine manufacturers outsource some parts from vendors.  Currently, one of the roller sub-assembly is being outsourced from outer vendors. During the visit, we observed that the existing process of manufacturing of such sub-assembly is very lengthy & of manual nature. As to find an alternative solution to the existing problem, we decided to semi-automate the process which will also result in better productivity and which will reduce wastage also. For achieving this, we designed and manufacture an attachment which can be used on a simple lathe machine. Using attachment made the whole process semi-automated, results of which are compared with the previous manual process. It is observed that using attachment reduces cycle time, reduces manpower, also decreases wastage than the manual process.

174. Proposed Theory for I-Bicycle

— “I-Bicycle” refers to a bicycle with hub-less rear wheel. The main idea behind this project is to develop a hub-less or spoke-less wheel. This bicycle overcomes some drawbacks of the bicycle being used nowadays such as heavy design due to presence of spokes, power consumption issues, space issues. The advantages associated with this bicycle are light weight due to absence of hubs or spokes, additional space in the wheel due to absence of spokes, aesthetic look to the design and lowered center of gravity. The bicycle runs with a “rack and pinion system” connected to the rear-wheel. The paddle gear is connected to the pinion whereas the pinion is meshed with the internal teeth of the rear-wheel rim. This bicycle can be used to overcome the above mentioned issues and it’s a great innovation in the design of the conventional bicycle which gives the operator a fresh feel while using it and it’s awesome and very aesthetic when it comes to the appearance of the bicycle.

175. Seawater Purification Using Earth Source Energy

Lack of fresh water is a general concern and will increasingly become a threat to societies in the future. The water problem is particularly acute during the summer season in the Mediterranean region when the number of people staying there increases considerably. The number of tourists is expected to double by 2025. Drinking water scarcity is likely to increase because of a changing climate. This represents a massive economic, social and environmental threat to semi-arid regions such as the Mediterranean. An important technology to tackle this problem is desalination making fresh drinking water from saline seawater. Most of the current methods, however, are neither cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology that would fulfill both criteria.

176. Enhancement of Performance of ASP for Organics Removal using Return Sludge as Flocculent in Primary Settling Tank

Renewable energy production and environmental crisis are the recent issues prevailing in the society. Economic growth of the country depends largely on the availability of the renewable energy. Wastewater treatment systems are huge consumers of electricity for accomplishing the task of a safe and healthy environment. Wastewater systems account for about 1- 5 % of total electricity consumption in a country. It is stated that energy consumption contribution per person is about average values of 12-15 kWh/ person-year considering 80% of water @ 180 L per capita per day is contributing to sewage reaching to STP for treatment and BOD of 50g/d. Hence, there is an urgent demand for reducing this consumption for an overall development of our country. Among the aerobic processes, activated sludge process (ASP) represents the most widespread technology for wastewater treatment in India. In ASP major part of the energy consumption (about 60%) occurs in the aeration tank to provide a proper environment for the treatment of wastewater. In wastewater treatment plants, it is very difficult to make power savings in general because the process is continuous, and, on the other hand the treatment technology is based on processes (physical, chemical and especially biological) that cannot be switched off or disconnected from the main supplies. The other option is only to modify the processes in order to save energy. A case study for performance analysis of conventional Activated Sludge Process with use of excess sludge as a flocculent in the Primary Settling Tank was carried out to enhance the operational efficiency of secondary treatment unit and improve the settling characteristics in the Primary settling tank. The performance was assessed by setting up a laboratory scale ASP setup and commissioning the reactor at suitable HRT of 6h scaling down it from 12h. The study aims at improving the settling property of primary settling tank thereby reducing the organic load in aeration tank and reducing the energy consumption of the treatment plant. Many encouraging results were observed which supported the concept that efficiency of primary settling tank can be increased by the addition of the suitable quantity of activated sludge. It was observed that compared to the conventional control (all recycled biomass going to AT), the improvement inorganics removal in our modified system was 38% at 30+40% recycle combination. This can result in overall reduction of the maintenance cost of STP plants in our country.

177. Android Malware Detection through Online Learning

Android malware constantly evolves so as to evade detection. The entire malware population to be non-stationary. Contrary to this fact, most of the prior works on machine learning based android malware detection have assumed that the distribution of the observed malware characteristics (i.e., features) does not change over time. The problem of malware population drift and propose a novel online learning based framework to detect malware, named CASANDRA (Context-aware, Adaptive and Scalable Android malware detector). In order to perform accurate detection, a novel graph kernel that facilitates capturing apps security-sensitive behaviors along with their context information from dependence graphs is proposed. Besides being accurate and scalable, CASANDRA has specific advantages: first, being adaptive to the evolution in malware features over time; second, explaining the significant features that led to an apps classification as being malicious or benign.

178. Prototype of a Waste to Energy Landfill Proposed for Kolhapur City

Landfill gas is the gas that is extracted from landfills after the waste in landfill starts degrading. Space utilization to dispose of waste is one of the major concerns in every metropolitan. The general trend of disposing of waste is by dumping it openly and then either burning it or by keeping to degrade. In this paper, we intend to design a landfill for treating the waste of Kolhapur city in 4 different landfill sites and extract the gas from each landfill to further use it for energy generation. Further, we also intend to provide a natural liner material by using a combination of bentonite and GCL. We have compared the economics of landfilling procedure and energy generation thus providing an alternative to transform waste into energy. The waste that is dumped openly proves to be hazardous as the continuous fumes due to fugitive emissions leads to degradation in the air quality and also leads to spontaneous combustion. The dumping site in Kolhapur is spread over 60 acres and the problem of spontaneous combustion is a menace for the people living in the neighboring areas. A landfill site would solve the problem of disposing of the waste and also lead to effective space utilization.

180. Comparative analysis of Traditional SCADA systems and IoT implemented SCADA

SCADA system stands as an abbreviation of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It focuses on the supervisory level and is not a full control system. It is a computer system which gathers and analyses real-time data.
They are useful in monitoring and controlling a plant or industrial equipment like telecommunications, water,
waste control, energy, oil-gas refining, and transportation. It gathers information about a mishap, transfers it back to a central site and alerts the home station about the mishap, carries out necessary analysis and control, like determining if the mishap occurred is critical, and display the information in a logical and organized fashion. They can be relatively as simple as a system which monitors environmental conditions of a small office building, or as
complex as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant. IoT acts as a complementary setup to SCADA. SCADA system generates information which acts as one of the data sources for IoT. While the focus of SCADA on monitoring and control, the focus of IoT is firmly on analyzing machine data to improve productivity.

181. A Robust and Verifiable Threshold Multi-Authority Access Control System in Public Cloud Storage

Attribute-based Encryption is observed as a promising cryptographic leading tool to assurance data owners’ direct regulator over their data in public cloud storage. The former ABE schemes include only one authority to maintain the whole attribute set, which can carry a single-point bottleneck on both security and performance. Then, certain multi-authority schemes are planned, in which numerous authorities distinctly maintain split attribute subsets. However, the single-point bottleneck problem remains unsolved. In this survey paper, from another perspective, we conduct a threshold multi-authority CP-ABE access control scheme for public cloud storage, named TMACS, in which multiple authorities jointly manage a uniform attribute set. In TMACS, taking advantage of (t, n) threshold secret allocation, the master key can be shared among multiple authorities, and a lawful user can generate his/her secret key by interacting with any t authorities. Security and performance analysis results show that TMACS is not only verifiable secure when less than t authorities are compromised, but also robust when no less than t authorities are alive in the system. Also, by efficiently combining the traditional multi-authority scheme with TMACS, we construct a hybrid one, which satisfies the scenario of attributes coming from different authorities as well as achieving security and system-level robustness.

182. Serum Uric Acid as An Early Marker of Injury Severity in Trauma Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study at a Ugandan Tertiary Hospital

Background: Trauma is still the leading cause of death in many regions of the world. Several severity scores have been developed to assist in the management of trauma victims. The Injury Control Centre in Uganda developed the Kampala Trauma Score (KTS II) for use in resource-limited settings. With the limitations of the existing trauma scoring systems, there is a need to explore new, affordable, easy to use accurate diagnostics. Some studies in high-income countries have shown that Serum Uric Acid (SUA) has been previously shown to be elevated in trauma and serves as an Alarmin. The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine the correlation between SUA levels and injury severity in trauma patients in a resource-limited setting.
Methods: An analytical, single-center, cross-sectional study carried out at a tertiary hospital AE unit in Kampala. Trauma patients aged ≥18 years presenting within 24 hours after injury were recruited consecutively after obtaining a written informed consent.
Injury severity was determined using the KTS II scoring system and venous blood was drawn for SUA assay. Data were analyzed and the correlation of SUA levels with severity of trauma as defined by KTS II was made.
Results:  A total of 154 patients was recruited with a male to female ratio of 5.4: 1. Road traffic crashes (RTC) were the commonest (64%) cause of the injury; pedestrians were involved in 30% of the cases. The correlation between SUA levels and severity between injury was depicted by the area under the receiver operator characteristics curve = 0.6015.
Conclusion: Serum uric acid was a poor prediction of severity of injury among trauma patients in this low resource environment.

187. A Study on Periyar and Vethathiri Mahsrishi’s Perspectives on Women

“Being bestowed birth in human form is one of the rarest” As the renowned Tamil poet Ouvaiyar rightly said being born as a human being itself is an act of wonder. Yet the human community for numerous years lived just like other animals. Over the ages with rational thinking man embarked on a transformative phase. Hence there mushroomed many clans and each of these clans were later referred to as an individual society, But in this societal set-up some unwritten rules and written laws were created in the name of culture and people of the respective society were bound by them. This led to utter confusion. Our ancestors left no stone unturned in their efforts to get rid of these confusions in the society. We call this as reformation. Reformation implies restoring the order which involved plugging the holes that were left unchecked. This noble initiative of reforming is what drove Periyar and Maharishi. They waged a silent war against this domineering group of people and emerged victoriously. Periyar chose the path of agitation and Maharishi the path of non-violence in their attempts to facilitate individual freedom and liberty of women. The aim of this paper is to research on their views and efforts. This essay will deal with a portion of this paper which involves a discussion on the reasons behind women enslavement and the reforms these stalwarts have made.

192. Performance Evaluation of Multi-Core System through Mining Techniques

Apriori algorithm is a masterstroke algorithm of association rule mining. Increased possibility of the Multicore processors is imposing us to upgrade the algorithm and applications so as to accomplishment the computational power from multiple cores finding frequent item sets is more upscale in terms of computing resources utilization and CPU power. Apriori Algorithm is used on very big data sets with high dimensionality of data. Therefore, parallel computing can be applied for mining using association rules. The process of association rule mining consists of finding frequent item sets and generating rules from the frequent item data sets. Finding frequent item sets are more expensive in terms of CPU power consumption and computing resources utilization. Thus, the majority of parallel apriori algorithm focus on parallelizing the process of discovering frequent item set. The computation of
frequent item sets mainly consist of creating the candidate’s generation and counting items. In parallel frequent itemsets mining algorithms addresses the issue of distributing the candidates among processors such that their creation and counting is effectively parallelized. Paper presents a comparative study of the serial and parallel mining of data sets. The Raspberry Pi is powerful, the small computer having the dimensions of credit card which is invented with the hope of an inspiring generation of learners to be creative. This computer uses ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) processor, the processor at the heart of the Raspberry Pi system is a Broadcom BCM2835 system on chip multimedia processor.

194. Design of an Adaptive Sign Based Routing Protocol in VANET for Sophisticated Environments

With the advancement of the communication technology and an increase in the number of vehicles, the
Vehicle Ad-hoc Network (VANET) has become an emerging field of study. The major applications of VANETs are in
highways, but in sophisticated environments such as forest area, hill stations, private museum or large
park etc., where visitors across the country pass through several locations, and there doesn’t exist a proper
communication among the vehicles. So in this type of locations, we need an intelligent routing strategy for the On
Board Unit(OBU) to adapt and communicate with the neighboring vehicles. In this paper, a strategy is proposed
wherein, the vehicles communicate with each other or with the roadside units (RSU) by passing some sign bits with
positive or negative polarity. A simple simulation is performed on 100 to 200 vehicles demonstrating passing of data
from source to destination.

200. Graphical Authentication for Web Based Application

User authentication is an important topic in the field of information security. To enforce security of information, passwords were introduced. Text-based password is a popular authentication method used from ancient
times. However, text based passwords are prone to various attacks. Strong text-based password schemes could provide with a certain degree of security. However, the fact that strong passwords are difficult to memorize often leads their users to write them down on papers or even save them in a computer file. Human actions such as choosing bad passwords and inputting passwords in an insecure way are regarded as the weakest link in the authentication chain. A graphical password is one of the alternative solution to alphanumeric password as it is a very simple process to remember the alphanumeric password. One of the major reasons behind this method implementation is that, according to psychological studies human mind can easily remember images than alphabets or digits. Graphical authentication has been proposed as a possible alternative solution to text-based authentication. A new technique of captcha and OTP is being used for the verification purpose. Three times a person is given chance to try for login if the person fails then he is blocked till the session expires.

205. Implementation of Hybrid Data Collection (Mobile Element and Hierarchical Clustering) in WSN

Wireless sensor network considers as real-time embedded system deployed in a particular region to sense various types of environmental parameters such as temperature, pressure, gas, humidity etc. The huge applications of WSN like habitat monitoring, forest fire detection, surveillance, transport monitoring etc. have created a lot of interest among the researcher community in recent past. Typically, WSNs are densely deployed in hazardous places where battery recharge or replacement is nearly impossible and human monitoring scheme is highly risky. There are many typical issues such as power constraints, limited computing capacity, open environment; radio connectivity makes the sensor nodes faulty many times. Once the network is established, nodes keep on sensing the information and the battery power goes exponentially. Whenever the nodes detect any event, they send the information to the other nodes or to the base station. Sometimes it happens that the same information received by nearby sensor nodes can be received by the base station that makes the network inefficient. To avoid this data redundancy and to make the network most energy efficient, data aggregation and sensor fusion have been emphasized in the literature. Many routing protocols with many different ideas have been proposed in the literature to make the network energy efficient. A cluster-based routing protocol is one of these efficient ideas, where sensor nodes are divided into a number of groups and each group is called as a cluster. One group leader is elected in each cluster known as
Cluster Head (CH). Data aggregation is obtained at the leader node. The leader node/CH is only responsible for sending the message to the BS. The general system model for clustering based WSN. LEACH is the first famous hierarchical routing protocol which is proven to be most efficient over traditional routing protocol. In LEACH, the CH is elected in a probabilistic manner and tries to balance the load at each sensor node on a rotation basis. In the proposed model, an attempt has been made to improve the performance of LEACH protocol in view of electing an appropriate Super Cluster Head (SCH) among the CHs by applying suitable fuzzy descriptors. Only SCH is allowed to send the message to the BS by reducing the number of message retransmissions performed by the CHs.

209. A High Performance Jacobi Iterative Solver

Jacobi solver is one of the most efficient to solve a large linear system of equations. As this method involves number of iterations, it takes a longer time for giving the solution in VLSI. This paper presents an implementation of Jacobi solver in FPGA, in which, the various blocks of Jacobi solver are implemented with Kogge-Stone adder (KSA) where ever addition is required. This resulted in an enhanced performance at the cost of little increase in area. The improvement in performance is a decrease in the delay of 67.7% in the minimum period of delay, which is a substantial improvement. As compared to the Ripple carry addition (RCA), addition implementation in the KSA is found to give an area savings of 21.21% in terms of slices, an area increase of 56.60% in terms of flip-flops and an increase of 49.04% in terms of 4 input LUTs. Hence this design can be implemented in places where high performance is of primary concern. The implementation and simulation have been performed in VHDL in Xilinx 14.7 targeted to FPGA.

210. Characterization and Reuse Avenues of BOF Slag as Flux Material in Sinter

The present study “Characterization and Reuse avenues of BOF Slag as a flux material in sinter” is focused on waste utilization for a sustainable growth and development. In an integrated steel plant, approximately 2-4 tonnes of wastes (including solid, liquid and gas) are generated for every tonne of steel produced. Among all the wastes, slag generated at iron making and steel making units are the key area of concern. With increasing capacities, the mechanism for disposal of large quantities of slag that get generated have gained traction as the environmental issues that it could evoke could become critical for steelmakers. Over the last few years, with better understanding process there is the significant reduction in the volume of slag generated. However, slag generation remains inevitable and emphasis on its recycling remains one of the most serious concerns that need to be solved. Blast furnace granulated slag is a glassy aggregate and used as raw material for pozzolanic cement. But BOF granulated slag is crystalline and less glassy phase compared to BF slag, so 100 % utilization as pozzolanic cement manufacture is limited. Hence, alternate reuse avenues are under study at research or implementation level. The present topic is selected to study the reuse avenues of BOF Slag as a flux material in sinter.

213. Channel and Clipping Level Estimation For OFDM in IoT –Based Networks: A Review

Internet of Things (IoT) is the idea to connect all devices to the internet. To implement such systems, we need to design low cost and less complex transmitters and make the receiver side complex. Nowadays OFDM is mainly used for communication due to its great advantages. But it faces the main problem such as PAPR due to the non-linear performance of High power amplifiers. There are so many methods are available to reduce the effect of PAPR in OFDM transmission, among this clipping is the simplest one. In this paper, we propose two algorithms to find the clipping level as well as the channel estimation. The efficiency of these algorithms is evaluated by using CLRB calculation.

214. Hierarchical Attribute-Based Solution for Flexible Access Control in Cloud Computing

Cloud storage enables users to remotely store their data and enjoy the on-demand high-quality
cloud applications without the burden of local hardware and software management. Though the benefits are
clear, such a service is also relinquishing users’ physical possession of their outsourced data, which
inevitably poses new security risks towards the correctness of the data in the cloud. In order to address this new
problem and further achieve a secure and dependable cloud storage service, we propose in this paper We
develop a new cryptosystem for fine-grained sharing of encrypted data that we call Key-Policy Attribute-
Based Encryption (KP-ABE). In our cryptosystem, ciphertexts are labeled with sets of attributes and private
keys are associated with access structures that control which ciphertexts a user is able to decrypt. Attribute-
based encryption (ABE) has been envisioned as a promising cryptographic primitive for realizing secure and
flexible access control. HASBE extends the ASBE algorithm with a hierarchical structure to improve
scalability and flexibility while at the same time inherits the feature of fine-grained access control of ASBE.

215. Radio Mean D-distance Number of Banana Tree, Thorn Star and Cone Graph

A Radio Mean D-distance labeling of a connected graph G is an injective map f from the vertex set V(G) to N such that for two distinct vertices u and v of G, dD(u, v) + ⌈(f(u)+f(v))/2⌉ ≥ 1 + diamD(G), where dD(u, v) denotes the D-distance between u and v and diamD(G) denotes the D-diameter of G. The radio mean D-distance number of f, rmnD(f) is the maximum label assigned to any vertex of G. The radio mean D-distance number of G, rmnD(G) is the minimum value of rmnD(f) taken over all radio mean D-distance labeling f of G. In this paper we find the radio mean D-distance number of banana tree, thorn star and cone graph.

218. Database Security Technique with Database Cache

Today people are depending more on the corporate data for decision making, management of customer service and supply chain management etc. Any loss, corrupted data or unavailability of data may seriously affect its performance. The database security should provide protected access to the contents of a database and should preserve the integrity, availability, consistency, and quality of the data In this paper, we analyze and compare five traditional architectures for database encryption. We show that existing architectures may provide a high level of security, but have a significant impact on performance and impose major changes to the application layer, or may be transparent to the application layer and provide high performance, but have several fundamental security weaknesses. We suggest a sixth novel architecture that was not considered before. The new architecture is based on placing the encryption module inside the database management software (DBMS), just above the database cache, and using a dedicated technique to encrypt each database value together with its coordinates.

In these paper, Optimum design of PID Controller for Hybrid Wind/PV system is demonstrated considering the meteorological Data of solar radiation and wind speed from NASA surface and solar energy database of Hospet has been taken (latitude  15.54°N and longitude 74.48°E).Around 160 family or approx. 1 village community electricity consumption data has been taken thereby using the HOMER Software simulation has been carried out to find the Best Hybrid system in Hospet comparing the economic advantages like cost, payback period and other economic factors.It finds that Cost Reduction is around 70% compared to Conventional Energy source.But due to Non-linear Power generation and Load side variation, usage of Hybrid power system became very less. So, In order to avoid the above, we came up with Energy Management system(EMS), where the PID Parameters are used for controlling the EMS charging and discharging. Here the PID Controller is tuned through different Evolutionary Algorithm approaches like Genetic Algorithm(GA), Hyper-Spherical Search(HSS), Flower Pollination Algorithm(FPA) and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).Hybrid System like Wind/PV is modeled in Simulink and algorithms is implemented in Matlab. Finally, all the above algorithms are computed based on Objective Function Value, Rise time, Settling time and Overshoot and it is validated that HSS algorithm is best compared to all other algorithms.

Curcumin is the principal curcuminoid of the popular Indian spice turmeric, which is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). The other two curcuminoids are desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin. The curcuminoids are polyphenols and are responsible for the yellow color of turmeric. Curcumin can exist in at least two tautomeric forms, keto and enol. The enol form is more energetically stable in the solid phase and in solution.
Curcumin is one such medicine. Turmeric, derived from the plant Curcuma longa, is a gold-colored spice commonly used in the Indian subcontinent, not only for healthcare but also for the preservation of food and as a yellow dye for textiles. Curcumin, which gives the yellow color to turmeric and its structure as diferuloylmethane. Curcumin has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities and thus has a potential against various malignant diseases, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic illnesses. These effects are mediated through the regulation of various transcription factors, growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, protein kinases, and other enzymes.

227. Rainfall Runoff Modelling Using Artificial Neural Network

The use of an artificial neural network (ANN) is becoming very common nowadays due to its ability to analyze complex nonlinear events. An ANN has a flexible, convenient and easy mathematical structure to identify the nonlinear relationships between input and output data sets. This capability could efficiently be employed for the different hydrological models such as rainfall-runoff models, which are inherently nonlinear in nature and therefore,
representing their physical characteristics is challenging. In this paper, the influences of back propagation algorithm and their efficiencies which affect the input dimensions of the rainfall-runoff model have been demonstrated. The
capability of the Artificial Neural Network with different input dimensions has been attempted and demonstrated with a case study on Sarada River Basin. The ANN models developed were able to map the relationship between input and output data sets used. The model developed on rainfall and runoff pattern have been calibrated and validated. The significant input variables for the training of ANN models were selected based on statistical parameters like cross-correlation, autocorrelation, and partial autocorrelation function. It was found that those models considering rainfall lag rainfall and discharge as inputs were performing better than those considering rainfall alone. It was found that the neural network model developed was performing well. It can be inferred from the developed model that the Neural Network model was able to predict runoff from rainfall data fairly well for a small semi-arid catchment area considered in the present study.
