1. Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil Using Sodium Chloride

Stabilization is the process of physical and chemical alteration of soils to enhance their engineering properties and thus improving the load-bearing capacity of a sub-grade or a sub-base to support pavements and foundations. Sodium chloride has been used for many years as a stabilizing admixture in selected base course materials. Sodium chloride added to raw soil were found to have negligible effects on soil plasticity while increasing compacted density and decreasing optimum moisture content. In this project, the stability of soil is found out by adding Sodium chloride (Nacl) and thus compared with the stability of soil without adding Sodium chloride (Nacl) followed by different laboratory tests.

7. Energy Aware Node Mobility Prediction in Mobile Adhoc Networks

The analysis of human location histories is currently getting an increasing attention, due to the widespread usage of geopositioning technologies such as the GPS, and as well as online location-based services that allow users to share this information. Tasks such as the prediction of person’s movement can be addressed through the usage of this data, in order for offering support for more privileged applications, such as adaptive mobile services through proactive context-based functions. Here we aim to develop a simple and effective scheme to predict when the user will leave the current location and where he will move to future position. This paper presents a hybrid method for predicting human mobility on the basis of Mobility Markov Chain Models (MMCs). The proposed approach clusters location histories according to their characteristics, and later trains the MMC model based on mobility history to obtain transition matrix. The usage of MMC allows us to take information of location characteristics as parameters, and also to account for the effects of each individual’s previous actions. The proposed system is a mobility prediction with adaptive duty cycling approach in reducing energy consumption, with a mobility model called Mobility Markov Chain (MMC) for predicting the future location. We report a series of experiments with a real-world location history dataset and from the LifeMap dataset, showing that the prediction accuracy is in the range of 65 to 85 percent.

11. Application of the Hash Function on Secret Message and Provide it Security with the Help of Invisible ASCII Character Replacement Technology

Most widely used technique over the internet for communication is the text-document exchange. This text document may contain valuable data or some general information of any kind. If this text document contains some important information and if gets hacked then they may change information about it or may misuse that information. Because of all these reasons we need some technique for information hiding within a text document while communication over the internet. Although there are lots of text-based information hiding techniques present and proposed by many authors but these techniques have some drawbacks such as poor robustness, lower embedding rate, and semantic clutter. Due to all these flaws in the existing system many time the information is hacked or extracted by the interceptors. To mitigates all these drawbacks of existing system or techniques we proposed a new technique based on the hash function and the invisible ASCII character replacement method. In this approach, we first find the binary formatted information which is added by even numbers of 1’s for even parity, after that the space character in every carrier is replaced by SOH with the help of some replacement algorithm. In the third stage, a hash value is generated. At last the hash value is compared with the encoded secret information.

Having a proper understanding of users interest for certain type of product or different products for online shopping becomes important to create personalized service for a target market. An important property of successful e-commerce website is the ability to provide useful content at the right time to users. And because of all this, personalization techniques are introduced to create adaptive shopping application in which user interfaces change according to users interest. User’s behavior information is stored in web log files, and to get the information data mining techniques are used in which they use statistical characters to model users behavior and not considering the sequence of action performed by uses. It becomes helpful if we follow user’s session to understand complex user behavior. Therefore to eliminates all these issues this paper proposes a linear-temporal logic model checking approach for the analysis of structured e-commerce weblogs. If we consider a common way of mapping log records according to e-commerce structure, weblogs can be easily converted into event logs by which behavior of the user is captured. After getting users behavior by performing different predefine queries to identify different behavioral patterns that consider the different actions performed by a user during a session.

14. A Study on the Volatility and Return with Reference to Stocks of Bank Nifty

Study on stock market trends has been an area of vast interest both for who wish to make a profit by trading stock in the stock market. India is one of the emerging economies, which has witnessed significant developments in the stock markets during the liberalization policy initiated by the government. However, investing in banking shares include high risks which can be guided but not controlled. The banking sector is the backbone of country’s economy. This sector has given very good return to the investors in the past. But the recent financial crisis has proved, that the Banking stocks tend to be more volatile than other stocks. This paper is a humble attempt to measure the volatility of the Bank index stocks and compare it with that of the volatility of NIFTY. Stock markets, in general, are considered volatile and volatility plays a key role in measuring the risk-return trade-offs. Estimating volatility enables the pricing of securities and, understanding stock market volatility or individual stock price volatility enables good decisions on the part of investors.  Investors who are risk-averse would not be happy to invest in a highly fluctuating stock, whereas those with a thirst for riskiness would happily invest in a highly volatile market. The study evaluates the performance of banking stocks mainly to identify the required rate of return and risk of a particular stock based upon different risk elements prevailing in the market and other economic factors.

15. DNA Methylation Data Analytics in Cancer Research

Many studies demonstrated that the DNA methylation, which occurs in the context of a CpG, has strong correlation
with diseases, including cancer. There is a strong interest in analyzing the DNA methylation data to find how to distinguish different subtypes of the tumor[1]. However, the conventional statistical methods are not
suitable for analyzing the highly dimensional DNA methylation data with bounded support. DNA methylation is one
of the most extensively studied epigenetic marks, and is known to be implicated in a wide range of biological processes, including chromosome instability, X-chromosome inactivation, cell differentiation, cancer progression and gene regulation[4]. Identification of cancer subtypes plays an important role in revealing useful insights into disease pathogenesis and advancing personalized therapy. In order to explicitly capture the properties of the data,
a deep neural network is used, which composes of several stacked binary restricted Boltzmann machines, to learn the
low-dimensional deep features of the DNA methylation data.

17. Survey on Removal of Rain or Snow From a Single Color Image

It is well-known that a bad weather, e.g., haze, rain, or snow, affects severely the quality of the captured images or videos, which consequently degrades the performance of many image processing and computer vision algorithms such as object detection, tracking, recognition, and surveillance. Rain/snow removal from a video or a single image has been an active research topic over the past decade. Today, it continues to draw attention to outdoor vision systems (e.g., surveillance) where the ultimate goal is to produce a clear and clean image or video. Here, the most critical task is to separate rain/snow components from the other part.

19. Resolving Multi-party Privacy Conflicts in Social Media

Information shared through Social Media may affect more than one user’s privacy e.g., Information that depicts different users, comments that mention different users, events in which different users are invited, etc. Many types of privacy management support in present mainstream Social Media foundation makes users unable to appropriately control the sender and receiver. Computational mechanisms that are able to merge the privacy preferences of different users into a single policy for an item can help solve this problem. Merging different user’s personal preferences is difficult hence conflicts occur in privacy preferences, so methods to resolve conflicts are needed. Moreover, these techniques need to consider how users’ would actually reach an engagement about a solution to the conflict in order to propose solutions that can be acceptable by all of the users affected by the information to be shared. present approaches are either too demanding or only consider fixed ways of aggregating privacy preferences. Here, we introduce the basic computational procedure to overcome problems in Social Media that is able to adapt to different situations by modeling the concessions that users make to reach answers to the conflicts. The present results of a user study in which our introduced mechanism outperformed other present approaches in terms of how many times each approach matched users’ action. Computational mechanisms that are able to merge the privacy preferences of multiple users into a single policy for an item can help solve this problem. However, merging multiple users’ privacy preferences is not an easy task, because privacy preferences may conflict, so methods to resolve conflicts are needed. Moreover, these methods need to consider how users’ would actually reach an agreement about a solution to the conflict in order to propose solutions that can be acceptable by all of the users affected by the item to be shared. Current approaches are either too demanding or only consider fixed ways of aggregating privacy preferences. In this project, we propose the first computational mechanism to resolve conflicts for multi-party privacy management in Social Media that is able to adapt to different situations by modeling the concessions that users make to reach a solution to the conflicts. We also present results of a user study in which our proposed mechanism outperformed other existing approaches in terms of how many times each approach matched users’ behavior.

24. A Study on Role of Media in Women Empowerment in India

This research paper deals with the problems of women in general and focuses on the role of media in women Empowerment. It is an attempt to analyze the status of women by analyzing various indicators like socio, economic and decision-making powers.After independence, Government of India took several initiatives, programmes, and policies, apart from constitutional and legal safeguards for the empowerment of women in the country. As we know Women’s are the wealth of India and they have contributed in almost every field and made the country feel proud at every occasion. They are in front, leading the country, making milestones and source of inspiration for many. However, another reality of Indian society is that there are systematic discrimination and neglect of women’s in India, which could be in terms of limited access to education, health and property rights and domestic violence etc. The fear of sexual violence has been a powerful factor in restricting women’s behavior and sense of freedom. The struggle against violence is actually the struggle against the unequal distribution of power both physical and economic between the sexes. Women empowerment in India is still a distant dream. There still exists a wide gap between the goals enunciated in the constitution, legislation, policies, plans, programs and related mechanisms on the one hand and the situational reality of the status of women in India, on the other hand. India is fast developing but women’s in India continue to be discriminated. Media is the mirror of society and media reports are the reflection of happenings in the society. Communication is extremely important for women’s development and mass media play a significant role. It is to be noted that growth of women’s education and their entry into employment has contributed to the growth of media. Media has immense power to influence the masses and communication and IT revolution has further increased its importance. The study is based on primary and secondary sources. The study concludes with an observation that access to education and employment are only the enabling factors to empowerment, achievement towards the goal, however, depends largely on the attitude of the people towards gender equality.

28. A Survey on Sparsity Based Single Image Super Resolution of Colour Images

There are several methods for improving the resolution of images. The usual approach is by sparsely representing patches in a low-resolution input image via a dictionary of an example low-resolution patches and then using the coefficients of this representation to generate the high-resolution output via an analogous high-resolution dictionary. However, most existing methods focus on luminance channel information only and neglect the colour channels. The present method achieves sparsity-based super resolution by considering multiple colour channels also along with luminance channel Information. Edge similarities among RGB colour bands are used as cross channel correlation constraints. A dictionary learning method specifically to learn colour dictionaries that encourage edge similarities is also used. The advantages of this method are demonstrated both visually and quantitatively using image quality metrics.

31. Catercam- A Sliding Camera Mechanism Using Gimbal Assembly

In the current era of 21st century technocrats focus on building more efficient, compact, power efficient and cheap substitute for technology presently used.
A CCTV camera is a widely used product for surveillance, but many times just to cover a small area it is required to have more than one camera at the same place viz. a parking space which requires 180 degrees coverage or a ‘U’ shaped road requires at least two cameras to have a complete footage of the sector area. Similarly for recording a remote area which is seldom used. Furthermore, in some areas cameras are installed to work for just a small amount of time for viz. CCTV in the classroom to check how many students were present in the class.
Adapting this technology will reduce the number of camera units used in a particular area, work of maintenance department and moreover a huge amount of energy is saved which can be utilized for villages where people face scarcity of electrical energy.

33. Fast Moving Consumer Goods Market in Rurban Bihar: A Fast Changing Landscape

India is an agro-based economy from the time immemorial. Though the contribution of agriculture and allied sectors in national GDP has been diminishing over the years, yet the biggest portion of the labor force is employed here. This has resulted in low disposable income at the hands of the farmers. Bihar being a primarily agrarian state and with the largest chunk of the youngest of the population provides huge customers base with very high aspirational values and immense market potential for Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), but with very low purchasing power. This is an anomalous situation for a marketer. However, even with economics being at odds, the young generation with modern technology, having better information and capabilities provides an encouraging future prospect of FMCG market. The pattern of consumption of FMCG goods is surely northbound. This has led to the opening of many large format retail stores in almost all Rurban cities of Bihar. The increasing number of retail stores is creating a competitive challenge for retailers and consumers as well. In view of this, the retailers are focusing more on offering innovative products, customized services, which are suitable for specific customer needs. FMCG being the basic daily need products, the retailers will have to focus on understanding customer segments based on economic background, value, variety, and aspirations of the customer. This study finds that the key factors affecting consumption pattern of FMCG products in the rural-urban market of Bihar are hidden in value proposition and offering of everything that’s Lux but affordable.

38. Impact of Motivation on Management Student’s Academic Performance in Relation to overall Advancement

Motivation plays a significant role in everything we do. Without motivation it would be hard for people to perform routine work, set an aim in life, work towards its accomplishment or even spend time with family and friends.
Motivation is required at each phase of life and especially for students, it’s very important as it will show them the path to work, discipline their life and provide them zeal to accomplish their objectives.
In this paper, we are discussing various parameters that affect student’s motivation and thus monitor their individual accountability. Student motivation affects every aspect of college life, from attendance to academic performance, to extra-curricular activities. Also, teachers have to establish a cooperative atmosphere in their work with a class, among the students, with their colleagues in school, with parents and also within the broader community.
In today’s time, all the colleges are continuously under pressure to improve test scores, responsibility, and accountability. Because of these pressures, teachers bombard students with the promise of rewards; stickers for good presentations, appreciation for completing assignments and projects on time etc.
Thus the importance of motivation has been stressed. Various research has been done in the subject in recent time and it is analyzed that motivation is one of the few factors that have an impact on everything we do and experience, for example with our work, family, friend and of course, the basic needs.

39. Comparative Analysis of Controller Techniques Used in Doubly Fed Induction Generators in Wind Turbines

The interest in the variable speed wind turbines has increased due to their very attractive features. The fundamental feature of the DFIG is that the power processed by the power converter is only a fraction of the total wind turbine power, and therefore its size, cost and losses are much smaller compared to a full-scale power converter. The aim of the control strategy is usually to maximize the output power, maximize efficiency of energy conversion besides minimizing output power oscillations or minimizing wear of the mechanical components of the power plant, e.g., train drives, while maximizing the economic profit. Many different topologies have been proposed to achieve the desired speed control on wind generators. Among the various controllers considered based on classical control theory like PI controllers and nonlinear controllers based on Fuzzy logic PI controller using Fuzzy logic, Heuristic algorithm, Genetic Algorithm, Swarm optimization and Sliding Mode controllers were compared. It has been observed that among various controllers the fully fuzzy scheme was best in terms of stabilization times and reduction in asymmetries. However from the tuning of PI controller the swarm optimization technique is best suited for optimizing the parameters of the controller.

42. Idle Speed Control of an Engine Model using PID Control System

An engine model has been developed and controlled by the system to prevent stalling conditions when the automobile is at rest. The main input for the engine is throttle position in degree angle and the main control output is the engine speed in rpm. The engine speed is controlled by the amount of air supplied to the engine. Idle speed control is an automotive issue in which fuel gets consumed more during idling state of an automobile while driving and so its predictive rate will increase in the future based on the increase in traffic requirements. The PID control technique is used to tune the parameters of non-linear plant model into linearized conditions for stable equilibrium. Through this intelligent technique, we are able to define control parameters for the Idle Speed Control system of the engine model.

45. An Experimental Approach to Study the Effect of Process Parameters on Tensile Strength of Friction Welded Interface of Dissimilar Metals AISI304/4340

Rotary Friction Welding is successfully used for joining of stainless steel 304 and low alloy steel 4340 by varying three parameters namely rotational speed, friction pressure and friction time at three different levels. Fixed parameters are length and diameter of the specimen. Taguchi approach is used to design experimental layout. A total number of experiments conducted is nine. For each experiment, three specimens are made. In this study, it is found that for achieving a sufficient tensile strength on the joint-interface, the friction time should be held as short as possible, while the rotational speed and friction pressure should be as high as possible.

48. Solar AC Power Generator with Arduino Control Circuit

We all know that sun provides a never-ending source of energy. This energy is called as Solar energy and it comes under the category of Renewable energy resources. Renewable energy resources are clean and non- polluting energy resources. Non-Renewable energy resources like the fossil fuels, oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear energy are not that much sustainable because they all take longer time for formation. Hence we expect more renewable energy resources and the device associated with these resources. The demand for solar cells or PV cells is increasing day by day. Solar cells convert solar energy into electrical energy. We can use this electrical energy according to our purpose of interest. The electrical power we obtained can be either in the  DC or AC form. The output of Solar cells is strictly DC. From previous researchers, it is seen that we can directly produce AC power from solar cells without any use of inverter by simply arranging the solar cells in a circular pattern over a spinning disc and alternately exposing them. Although it eliminates the cost of the inverter, the major problem arises in controlling the speed of this spinning disk.The type of material for making the circular arrangement also plays an important role in better efficiency. The voltage and power obtained from the previous researchers are also less. In this paper, we modify the arrangement with proper speed controlling circuit by using Arduino in our circuit. The voltage and power obtained from this arrangement are more and hence efficiency is increased. The sine wave obtained is also of less distortion.

49. A Review on Process Parameters on Tensile Strength and Hardness Testing of Friction Stir Welding Joint of Aluminium Alloys with Different Tool Pin Profile

Friction-stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a third body tool to join two faying surfaces. Frictional heat between the welding tool and the work pieces causes the latter to soften without reaching the melting point, allowing the tool to traverse along the weld line. In this work, CNC Milling Machine is used to weld the parts together. The parts being welded are aluminium alloy AA5086 H32-AA6061 T6. The detailed mathematical model is simulated by Minitab17. In this investigation, an effective approach based on Taguchi method, has been developed to determine the optimum conditions leading to higher tensile strength. Experiments were conducted by varying rotational speed, transverse speed, and constant welding depth using L9 orthogonal array of Taguchi method. Effect of different tool pin profiles on the quality of the welded joint is also studied for welding. Different tool pin profiles considered are threaded, taper, circular/round and square. The tools are designed using Pro/E and are manufactured on a Lathe machine. After the parts are welded, various practical tests are performed on the welded parts that include the tensile strength and the Vickers’s hardness test.

52. Performance Evolution and Comparison Analysis of OFDM System for Channel Estimation

A Multiple inputs multiple output (MIMO) structures in wireless communication exchange are referred as a wireless communication system where a couple of antennae is used in both aspects of the communication exchange route i.e. Transmitter side and Receiver aspect. The communication exchange structures, which use more than one transmit and multiple obtain antennas are commonly referred to as a couple of input more than one output (MIMO) structures. The coverage place and the transmission ability of a wireless communication exchange system can be progressed by way of the usage of this Wi-Fi networking generation. In digital signal processing, the processing algorithms for interference suppression are becoming complicated with a couple of antenna at each end of the transmission channel. Additionally, the growing demand for those networks has become the frequency spectrum into a treasured aid. For that reason, there is a sturdy need for a method which could pack more and more bits/Hz. Any such device is known as multiple inputs multiple output (MIMO) gadget. The uplink insurance and capacity of OFDM structures with the traditional multi-user detector receiver are interference restricted. In particular, at some stage in the rollout segment, the coverage of OFDM machine is uplink restricted. A less expensive answer to improving the general overall performance is using serial interference cancellation (SIC) at the base station. In this research work, a sophisticated receiver structure for interference cancellation primarily based on advanced Least Square Error Algorithm set of rules for multiple inputs multiple outputs orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) structures is proposed. The proposed method no longer simplest increases the capability of the device but additionally low down the Bit Error Rate. It could make full use of the channel correlations in the area, time, and frequency to estimate the channel state information for diverse systems, together with pilot-image assisted structures, pilot-embedded structures, and blind structures. MATLAB R2013a has been used to evaluate the performance of proposed algorithm the usage of Wireless Communication toolbox and preferred MATLAB toolbox.

53. High Speed Vedic Multiplier Design using FPGA

Vedic mathematics is an ancient system of mathematics, which was formulated by Sri Jagadguru Swami Bharati Krishna Tirthaji (1884 – 1960). After a research of eight years, he developed sixteen mathematical formulae from Atharvana Veda. The sutras (aphorisms) covered each and every topic of Mathematics such as Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Differential, Integral, etc.The word “Vedic” is derived from the word “Veda” which means the power house of all knowledge and divine. The proposed Vedic multiplier is based on the “Urdhava Triyagbhayam” sutra (algorithm). These Sutras have been traditionally used for the multiplication of two numbers in the decimal number system.
It literally means “Vertically and crosswise”. Shift operation is not necessary because the partial product calculation will perform it in a single step, which in turn saves time.  16×16 Vedic multiplier is designed by using Urdhava Tiryakbhyam sutra and using rca adder .The 16 bit Vedic multiplier and array multiplier are designed by using Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA.

54. Post Exposure Consequences of Methyl Isocyanate Gas Among Inhabitant of Bhopal During and After Bhopal Gas Tragedy

Bhopal gas tragedy of 3rd December 1984 occurred due to the sudden leak of methyl-isocynate . After decades of the exposure, severe illness, lung ailments, eye problems, stomach ailments still continue to haunt the lives of survivors of the tragedy. Most affected organs after the exposure include eyes, respiratory tract, and skin. Substantial neurological, reproductive, neurobehavioral, psychological effects, immunotoxicity and genotoxicity were also observed. Scientific debates about the causes of the accident, the spectrum of health effects and their toxicology are presented with a view of understanding the toxic substances released in the gas cloud and their roles in the causation of health effects. Using cutting edge technologies studies on ocular, respiratory, reproductive, psychological, genetic, and immunological aspects must be continued if we have to understand the harshness of long-term effects associated with this tragedy. The authors recommend long-term monitoring of the affected area and use of appropriate methods of investigation that include well-designed cohort studies, case-control studies for rare condition, characterization of personal exposure and accident analysis to determine the possible elements of the gas cloud.

60. Confucianism and Changing Gender Roles

Confucianism in South Korea instills the concept of male superiority over women. Although the laws in South Korea establish women’s rights, the practice and norms of society still engender male domination. Korean family norms promote the unity of the family while placing women in a subservient position, the traditional culture requires obedience to a father and then to a husband and sons. Family norms also place the power of family decisions with husbands. Men keep contact politically and socially at village meetings and exchange use of resources and production. As women take on greater productive roles and earn income, their involvement in decision-making increases. Female power within the family has increased also due to increased women’s education. Over that last three decades, these traditional views on gender roles influenced by Confucianism have changed drastically, although it is still looked down upon for women to work outside the house, it is slowly being accepted and almost 54% of the female population in South Korea is actively participating the workforce. On the other hand, the male domination over the woman of the house has eased out, and many men do help out with household chores and looking after children while the woman works. Although this is a very small percentage of the population, much lesser than would be desired, it is still a change from the Confucianist principles where the male remains dominant and authoritative.
The expectation is that modernization will bring about its empowerment of women and a balance between men and women in both family and society. In the 21st century we
try to understand how the roles of men and women have changed in this country that has deeply rooted beliefs of Confucius in their society.

63. Impulsive Buying Behavior

Impulsive buying behavior is psychological and depends on the customer traits and other factors affecting customer decisions. Firms take advantage of this by using various strategies. The main focus of the work is on the usage of impulsive buying by the firms to promote sales. Also, different personality traits are also studied that influence impulsive buying. Some of the strategies used by a firm which are studied in this work are the placement of the product, store environment, etc. Also how marketers are using this concept in E-impulsive buying, by showing similar products as suggestions or ‘frequently bought together’. Customer buys the goods even when it might or might not be required by him/her. Plastic money is also one the factor that influences impulsive buying as with this problem of carrying enough cash is removed. Impulse buying is most of the times linked with happiness and joy but also considered to be related to negative emotions and a decrease in self-confidence. From a marketers point of view keeping the environment of the store in such a way that promotes impulsive buying is increasing customer loyalty. The relationship between these strategies used by firms and customer reactions are also studied. It is also said that technology does not create impulsive consumers but rather provide impulsive consumers more goods to buy and more and more options to choose from. Merchandising strategies like the positioning of the products and keeping a check on the customer’s shopping from the shop like checking a number of items purchased each time, frequency of coming to the store, etc.

68. Exploring Taiwan’s Market for Business Opportunities

This paper aims at conducting an analysis of the Taiwan market which will help in analyzing the ease of doing business in Taiwan by Indian businessmen. It is seen that the GDP of Taiwan is increasing gradually. Thus, it portrays a good opportunity for the businessmen to enter the market. It also shows a good export rate taking place from India to Taiwan. Therefore, the first step towards setting up a business abroad is already being fulfilled i.e., exports. The next step is setting up a subsidiary abroad. This can be done by conducting a feasibility test of carrying out a business through a SWOC analysis. This helps in knowing the market condition of the economy which keeps fluctuating. Thus, the SWOC analysis helps to know the market stability of the country which in turn will help in analyzing the feasibility of carrying out business in Taiwan. Also, the role of government plays an important role in the market and it is necessary to take into consideration the important policies of the government i.e., FDI being the most important policy. The business environment should also be taken into consideration because there is severe business competition in the market.

70. Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Demolished Waste along with Adding of Admixture

Demolition of old structures to make way for new and modern ones is common features in metropolitan areas due to rapid urbanization. However, very little demolished concrete is recycled or reused. The strict environmental laws and lack of dumping sites in urban areas on one hand are making the disposal of demolition wastes problematic while on the other hand the quarrying of raw materials is becoming difficult. The present work presents the results of experimental investigations carried out to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate by different parts of demolished wastes on strength and workability of concrete made. For the study, design mix concrete of grade M25 (Referral concrete) was prepared using IS: 10262-2009. Thereafter, the replacement of different constituents of concrete, one at a time was carried out by replacing these with the different sieved fractions of crushed demolition waste. The compressive strength at 7,14 and 28 days, and workability in terms of slump value were measured. The compressive strength of these mixes was measured on 100mm cubes. Test results show that the behaviour of recycled waste concrete and the adding of Ad-mixture. The compressive strength of recycled concrete (FAR concrete) with 10%, 15% and 20% fine aggregate replacement by demolition waste coarse aggregate at 7,14 and 28 days is comparable to that of referral concrete. The compressive strength of recycled concrete (CAR concrete) made using 10% of demolition waste coarse aggregate is almost similar to referral concrete. Further, the results indicate that still higher replacement of the constituent materials is possible without much compromising the 28 days strength and workability.

71. Routing in Multi-Hop Networks

In a wireless network there is a single source and a single destination or number of destinations associated by the number of relays. Nodes of wireless networks communicates by sending signals transmits message through single source to single destination. Signals are in the encoded form when receives at node it process decoded/encode with information received from previous nodes. In the wireless network there is a problem of routing path complex and combinatorial problem transmission from source to destination.
In this system we investigate the optimal routing problem in signal transmission from source to destination for multi-hop network. We use the technique of rate less code which is used to accumulate the data with the each packet in the transmission. This can decrease the total energy; reduce delays in transmission for transmitting data from the source to the destination. Proposed system enables significant performance through the shortest path routing using Floyd-Warshall algorithm.

76. Design of Automatic Sorting Machine

The automatic sorting system has been reported to be complex and a global problem. This is because of the inability of sorting machines to incorporate flexibility into their design concept. Automation is a preferred for faster and precise operations as compared to manual operation. This paper provides a mean of simple yet effective fixed type of automation for sorting the products. Two products identical in shape and size are sorted out automatically on the basis of drilled or undrilled product. LED and phototransistor arrangement is used for hole detection. A vertical zigzag conveyor is employed instead of the usual flat belt conveyor in order to utilize gravitational force as a driving force for feeding the products. 8051 Microcontroller is used for controlling the sorting mechanism by using program or coding.
The cost of the project is nearly negligible as it is made from the waste except electrical components used for the project. Sincere efforts are taken to set an example of an inexpensive, reliable and easy to manufacture automated machine. The Paper focuses on the aspect of sorting mechanism with microcontroller programming and the automation tasks and solutions are obtained.
The proposed developed model of this research could be adopted at any institution or industries, whose practices are based on mechatronics engineering systems. This is to guide the industrial sector in the sorting of object and teaching aid to institutions and hence produce the list of classified materials according to the enabled sorting program commands.

81. Stock Prediction using Support Vector Regression and Neural Networks

The purpose of this project is to compare two very widely used methods for stock prediction and see which one is a more accurate method. With the advent of machine learning, soft computing techniques are being used more frequently for various purposes, especially where mathematical models can be used and juxtaposed onto real-life situations. Here in this report, we have compared the prediction of the stock market using Artificial Neural Networks versus a prediction of stock market using support vector regression. Testing has been done only in one language, python and hence it cannot exactly be determined if other languages or software such as R or Matlab may give better results. The system is built completely on numbers and does not depend on popular emotions or gut feeling.

83. Neural Fuzzy Inference System Modelling with Different Input Vectors for Rainfall-Runoff Prediction

A convenient and acceptable technique to develop mathematical models is through conceptual formulation and statistical development while integrating the effects of various variables on these physical processes.  Overemphasizing on these techniques could result in an increase in complexity of model which in turn influence the performance of the model. In this study, one conjunction model combining wavelet-neuro-fuzzy for runoff forecast is proposed and compared with simple neuro-fuzzy inference system. The inflow series to the conjunction model has been decomposed by wavelet transform. The performance of the conjunction model under the changed inflow parameters has been compared with the simple model. The results show that both the model performed well, however, increase in complexity of a model does not necessarily increase the performance of the model.

86. Ion Exchange Resins- An approach for the Development of Advanced Materials with Industrial, Pharmaceutical and Clinical Applications

Ion exchange resins (IER) are cross-linked water insoluble polymers that contain ionizable acidic or basic functional groups and have the ability to exchange counter-ions from surrounding within aqueous solutions. On the basis of nature of the exchangeable ion of the resin as a cation or anion, classified into two main classes, cationic exchange resinand anionic exchange resins, respectively. Due to versatile properties of IER, it has received considerable attention from worldwide pharmaceutical scientists. Research has shown that for the past few years, IER is equally suitable for drug delivery techniques, including controlled release, topical, transdermal, nasal and taste masking. The efficacy IER mainly depends upon their physical properties such as porosity, acid-base strength, degree of cross linking, stability, purity and particle size. Ion-exchange resinates (Drug-Resin complex) of drugs can help in reducing the dose, fluctuations in blood and tissue concentrations, avoiding dose dumping,  and maintenance of drug concentration below toxic level can be achieved. The major drawback of sustained release or extended release is dose dumping, resulting in increased risk of high dose toxicity. The utilization of IER has occupied an important place in the development of controlled or sustained release systems because of their better drug-retaining properties and prevention of dose dumping. Resins are polymers that contain appropriately substituted acidic groups, such as carboxylic and sulfonic for cation exchangers; or basic groups, such as quaternary ammonium group for anion exchangers. Drug resin complexation converts drug to amorphous form leading to improved drug dissolution. Many studies have reported the use of IER for drug delivery on the desired site of action. Sulfonated and carboxylic resins with a polystyrene backbone are mostly used in clinical medicine. This review will cover various types of ion exchange resin, their property, chemistry; The role of IER in controlled drug delivery systems, its Industrial, Pharmaceutical and clinical applications, methods of preparation of IER along with their resonates.

87. IoT Based Home Thief Movement Detection and Alerting System

Smart Home can be also known as Automated Home or intelligent home which indicates the automation of daily tasks with electrical appliances used in homes. This could be the control of lights or be giving the alarm alteration.
Home security has changed a lot over the last century and will be changing in coming years
[1] Security is an important aspect or feature in the smart home applications.
[2] The new and emerging concept of smart homes offers a comfortable, convenient, and safe environment for occupants.
Conventional security systems keep homeowners, and their property, safe from intruders by giving the indication in terms of alarm. However, a smart home security system offers many more benefits. This paper mainly focuses on the security of a home when the user is away from the place. Two systems are proposed, one is based on GSM technology and other uses a web camera to detect the intruder. The first security system uses a web camera, installed in-house premises, which is operated by software installed on the PC and it uses the Internet for communication. The camera detects motion of an intruder in front of the camera dimensions or camera range. The software communicates to the intended user via Internet network and at the same time, it gives a sound alert. The second security system is SMS based and uses GSM technology to send the SMS to the owner. The proposed system is aimed at the security of Home against Intruders. In any of the above cases happens while the owners are out of their home then the device sends SMS to the emergency number which is provided to the system. The system is made up of three components: sensors, GSM-GPS Module, microcontroller, relays to control the device and buzzers to give security alert signal in terms of sound.

88. Data Encryption without Using Prime Numbers

It is an encryption algorithm that uses randomly generated number sequences to encrypt data, instead of using prime numbers hence saving so much processing time, generating prime in itself a tedious task and required a heavy amount of computation, but generating random number sequences is far easier and require a significantly lesser amount of computation. This algorithm generates two random number sequences (discussed in introduction) (treated as private keys), digits in these number sequences are grouped in different configuration viz. 2 DG (grouping 2 digits),3 DG(grouping 3 digits) this form groups of digits in both number sequences, these groups are then multiplied to form a result and this result is multiplied with plain data to encrypt the data.

93. Six Strokes Engine

Six Stroke engine, the name itself indicates a cycle of six strokes out of which two are useful power strokes. According to its mechanical design, the six-stroke engine with external and internal combustion and double flow is similar to the actual internal reciprocating combustion engine. However, it differentiates itself entirely, due to its thermodynamic cycle and a modified cylinder head with two supplementary chambers: combustion and an air heating chamber, both independent from the cylinder. In this, the cylinder and the combustion chamber are separated which gives more freedom for design analysis.
In addition to the two valves in the four-stroke engine, two more valves are incorporated which are operated by a piston arrangement. The Six Stroke is thermodynamically more efficient because the change in volume of the power stroke is greater than the intake stroke and the compression stroke. The main advantages of six stroke engine include a reduction in fuel consumption by 40%, two power strokes in the six-stroke cycle, a dramatic reduction in pollution, adaptability to multi-fuel operation. Six-stroke engine’s adoption by the automobile industry would have a tremendous impact on the environment and world economy.
There are additional two strokes, namely another power, and exhaust strokes. The engine works by harnessing wasted heat energy created by the fuel combustion. After the combustion stage water is injected into the superheated cylinder. The water explodes into steam and forces the piston down. It, in turn, helps to cool the engine. That resulted in normal levels of power but using much less fuel. It also has the advantage of not requiring an external cooling system. In order to achieve these benefits, major modifications of conventional internal combustion engine must be done. In this paper, the modification of the conventional four-stroke internal combustion engine is illustrated to convert it into six stroke engine.

99. CNN Based Landmark Detection and Alzheimer’s Diagnosis Using Landmark Feature

One of the fundamental challenges in anatomical landmark detection, based on deep neural networks, is the constrained availability of medical imaging data for network mastering. To address this trouble, we present a two-stage task-oriented deep learning method to detect big-scale anatomical landmarks simultaneously in actual time using restrained education statistics. Especially, our technique includes deep convolutional neural networks (CNN), with every specializing in one particular project. In particular, to alleviate the trouble of limited training statistics, within the first stage, we endorse a CNN primarily based regression model the use of millions of image patches as input, aiming to examine inherent associations between nearby photo patches and target anatomical landmarks. to similarly version the correlations amongst image patches, in the second stage, we expand some other CNN model, which includes a) a fully convolutional networks (FCN) that shares the same architecture and community weights as the CNN used within the first stage and additionally b) numerous more layers to at the same time predict coordinates of a couple of anatomical landmarks. Importantly, our technique can jointly locate big-scale (e.g. hundreds of) landmarks in actual time. Using these landmark points we extract HOG and longitudinal features and using SVM to diagnose the Alzheimer’s disease.

This report is about the design of heat recovery system in a sheet rock plant. A sheet rock is
basically a gypsum board which is mainly used as a finish for walls, ceilings in households and
commercial buildings. According to the given problem, during summer months the city water
supplies to the manufacturing plant at a higher temperature of 900 F but during other months the
temperature of water supply as 450 F. The de mand of water temperature is 85o F for the process
so the city water is heated by natural gas burners when it’s in a storage tank. During the final
stage of sheet rock production, heated air is used in a closed oven with sheet rock for the drying
process. The air gets exhausted from aluminum stacks. This waste heat energy is being
recovered it in the form of energy with the help of specially selected heat exchanger. The energy
recovered will be minimising the need of natural gas burner which is to heat the city water
receiving at a temperature of 450 F. This would reduce the need of natural gas to use as the main
source of heating the city water for production of sheet rock. The heat recovery system would be
compatible to work for 24 hr in a 6 days week frame till 8 months. The report will include the
type of heat exchanger selected, pump for heat recovery and piping system with fittings and
be routing for heat recovery. This would also include the cost involved in the whole additional
process as installation, operational and maintenance cost with a calculated payback period of
time for investment.

As the earlier security system was based on the human inspections that create the faults in the securities.  Hence there come to the security systems based on the various controllers, latest techniques, etc. but, still the optimum security is not achieved.  Thus, the new eras of the face detection security system arise and all the way new technique of security comes.  Even though face detection is a difficult task to make but still the advancing image processing algorithms makes it look so simple. The various image processing algorithms are HAAR, PCA, Eigen Face, Viola-Jones, etc. which have their own limitations. Hence, there comes the advanced algorithms and hence for achieving the optimum security and higher efficiency, we come with the advance PCA based security system.  This algorithm can be compatible with the automation instrument. The automation instruments are of various types such as a microcontroller, Arduino, raspberry pi, etc. thus for the best result along with the cost-effectiveness, we are using the raspberry pi as a controlling instrument. This instrument provides the ability of the storage in the form of database. Thus, database helps to detect the face and allow the recognized person only. Thus this will helps to improve the security.  Thus, this paper consists of the report of working comparison of the various face detection projects based on the raspberry pi module with our project.

110. A Survey on Retinal Red Lesion Detection Techniques for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a sight-threatening condition occurring in persons with diabetes, which causes progressive damage to the retina. People with diabetes mellitus need annual screening to check for the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR).The early detection and diagnosis of DR are vital for saving the vision of diabetic persons. The early signs of DR which appear on the surface of the retina are the dark lesions such as microaneurysms (MAs) and hemorrhages (HEMs). The shape and count of these features are used to indicate the severity level of diabetic retinopathy. A computer aided diagnosis system can help to reduce the burden on the ophthalmologist and rapidly identify the most severe cases. So in this paper, a survey of different red lesion detection techniques and automated analysis are discussed.

116. Comparative Analysis of Discretization Schemes

In the field of CFD, there are mainly two different types of discretization methods are used one is structured grid-based and the other one is unstructured grid-based, the structured grid is known for the accuracy and the unstructured grid is known for the ease with which it can be generated around complex configuration. An emerging third approach is the use of Meshless discretization which does not involve a mesh in the classical sense but works on a random distribution of points. Creating points around a configuration should be easier compared to generating grids hence, in this work we compare finite volume method with a Meshless method using a simple convection-diffusion equation whose exact solution is known.

118. Political, Historical, Social and Psychological aspects in Nadine Gordimer’s Novel The Lying Days.

Nadine Gordimer, the Nobel laureate is a white South African prolific writer. Gordimer believes in the humanistic aspect of people and is the spokesperson for her people. She won her Nobel Prize in the year 1991. Her life brings about the racism and of the downtrodden conditions of the people. Gordimer works to bring out the society needs and the societal problems in different dimensions. She feels that born as a white South African has left her in a fatal isolation and her only thing to bring out is the unspeakable cruelty to blacks through her words, as a writer, the words of her works give her the face and place with what she depicts. The intimate background understanding of South Africa makes the writer like Gordimer to convey easily what exactly is the condition of her country and know the real suffering of the black people. Most of the black and white writers of South Africa or of the African continent leave their own native place as exiles or by own willingness to other countries and only a handful of writers remain in their natives and bring out the suffering of their own country. Gordimer is one such writer who stays in her country South Africa and brings out vistas of images about the black people and their actual situation through her words. She does not go into an exile or leaves her country on free will. She faces the challenge of loneliness as a minority white woman in the black consciousness and as a political activist to blacks, which isolates her in the white community. Gordimer is one of the most powerful of the protest fiction writers of South Africa, by traveling through every part of her country; she presents the firsthand realistic experience of the oppression of the natives in all fields like political, social and cultural scenario

Money laundering is a process of converting black money into white cash. Anti-money laundering is a procedure or method to find these laundering activities. Although efforts on anti-money activities started at an early stage, the solutions seem to be restricted to a strategic level. Mostly the perpetrators of criminal acts strive to make the transactions as innocent looking as possible. Extensive research has been conducted to investigate a proper solution for suspicious transaction detection. But there is no reliable system to confirm if the exchange is really suspicious or not and the process is also very tedious. This paper surveys several approaches and algorithms that have been proposed for anti-money laundering System.

124. Conservation and Management of Medicinal Plants in India

India is floristically rich and is recognized as one of the twelve Mega biodiversity centers of the world. It is endowed with a rich heritage of medicinal plant wealth with a wide spectrum of healing properties. The traditional Indian system of medicine has been therefore well developed due to this richness of bio-resources. Interest and demand for herbal remedies are undoubtedly increasing very rapidly today. This has resulted into over exploitations of our natural bio-resources leading some important medicinal plant species to rarity, extinction and endangered state. It, therefore, appears that current concern must be addressed to this problem.
Conservation is the process of management of biosphere in order to obtain the greatest benefit for the present generation and maintaining the potential for future. Conservation of plant resources is of global concern because we don’t know what we are losing and what will need in future. There is a necessity to strike a balance between conservation and utilization of these medicinal plants.

125. Improving End-to-End Throughput in Wireless Network using Spatial Reusability

The optimal route from the source node to the destination node that guarantees a high end-to-end throughput is the main issue of routing in multi-hop wireless network. As the environment is heterogeneous the issue seems to be much complex, most of the solutions end with local optimum because those algorithms mostly fail to ensure an end to end throughput. By considering spatial reusability of wireless media, the end-to-end throughput in wireless multi-hop remote systems can be enhanced massively. To support the argument, Spatial-reusability Aware Single-path Routing (SASR) algorithm is proposed and compared with existing single path routing protocol. The assessment showed that proposed protocol show significant improvement in end-to-end throughput in comparison with existing protocols.

131. Privacy and Security on Twitter: A Semantic Network Analysis

As the technologies advance rapidly, the privacy and the security have become one of top concern in the digital communication in this age. Thus, we are trying to understand and drawing a conceptual view depend on how is the people view privacy and security in this era which has been changed and still changing and expanding as the technology developed. In order to analyze and see what it the person’s apprehension regarding the view of the privacy and security, we have used one of the widespread social media which is Twitter. Based on the Twitter’s users view we have constructed our project and draw our conclusions. We have collected more than 125000 tweets to analysis them based on different aspects.
This project mainly focused on privacy and security then it takes into account the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Facebook, and online keywords. After collecting the tweets, we have analyzed them using AutoMap tool. In the initial analysis, AutoMap extracts all of the words which have been occurring in the tweets along with each word frequency. As a second step of the analysis, we have filtered out all about numbers, symbols, and non-relative wording. Then, we took the most frequent work and did discourse analysis to see how these words are emerging. Based on discourse analysis, we have wiped out some of the words that appear in different context. From that point, we have drawn our discussion and conclusions.
Based on our analysis, the privacy is beyond the information control and access. The people have changed their view regarding the privacy with the advancement of the technology. The Twitter’s users get concerned about their Facebook and Google personal data privacy. Particularly, when the Facebook has posted the new term and privacy policy, the users become more worried about their privacy. In addition, Twitter users’ were discussing the privacy and security of the mobile device to further assist the people who plan to buy in the near further. Moreover, they have anxiety regarding different acts and lows that are developed, and whether these laws will protect them or the laws will work against them.

135. Anomaly Detection Using Machine Learning

In this day and age of a plethora of information, the importance of information security cannot be emphasized enough. Any threat to confidentiality, integrity or availability of information must be taken seriously. Ignoring such threats can have serious consequences, like misappropriation, modification or encryption of data. Vulnerabilities in information security are a tempting target for malware. Malware are malicious scripts or software, including computer viruses, worms, Trojan-horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, etc. The traditional way of detecting an advanced malware or threat compromise uses a signature-based antivirus. This approach, however, is not foolproof and can be bypassed. The signature-based approach relies on a known list of signatures. The list of signatures is not perfect and also does not contain previously unseen malware signatures. The proposed system uses operational intelligence tools and machine learning to monitor usual user behavior. This is done by collecting system activities like event logs, sysinternal, etc. Once the system learns normal behavior patterns, it can detect anomalies that may be caused by malware. Thus, unlike signature-based approach, the proposed system can detect previously unseen malware as well.

139. Remote Control Effect of Li+, Na+, K+ Ions on the Photoluminescence Intensity of ZnTiO3:Eu3+ Nanomaterial

Alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+ & K+) co-doped ZnTiO3:Eu3+ red emitting nano-phosphors series were prepared by combustion synthesis method. The crystal structure & surface morphology of the phosphors was analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. The XRD results show the hexagonal phase of ZnTiO3 with space group R-3:R. From the SEM results, it was observed that the phosphors had very small particle size ranging from 10-30nm and the average size of the ZnTiO3 crystal is 30±5nm. Photoluminescence study showed that under the excitation of UV (393 nm) or blue light (464 nm) , the obtained products emitted characteristic red emissions of Eu3+ at 615 nm for 5D0 → 7F2 transition which proved that activator Eu3+ ion had successfully entered the host lattice of ZnTiO3. The red emission intensity was significantly enhanced by introducing alkali metal ions as co-dopants. A remarkable increase in the photoluminescence intensity is found by co-doping with Li+ ions in ZnTiO3:Eu3+ lattices due to the reduction of environment symmetry around Eu3+ ions which strengthen the electric dipole transition.

140. Strong Orange–Red Photoluminescence from CaTiO3:Sm3+ Nano-phosphor

The crystal structure and surface morphology of the CaTiO3:Sm3+ nanomaterials prepared by combustion synthesis were determined by XRD Rigaku Ultima IV diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation (1.54184 Å) depicting orthorhombic phase of CaTiO3:Sm3+ with space group Pbnm & scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. The phosphor particles size was found about 10-15nm. Upon excitation using 407nm light, the PL emission spectra obtained due to 4f transition of Sm3+ from 4G5/2 → 6HJ(J=5/2, 7/2 ,9/2 ,11/2) consists of five peaks located at 564nm, 601-611nm, 647nm and 711 nm respectively. Among these Peaks, the peak located at 564 nm (4G5/2→6H5/2) was purely due to magnetic-dipole transition (MD), and at 648 nm (4G5/2→6H9/2) was purely due to electric dipole transition (ED). But the main peak located at 601 nm (4G5/2→6H7/2) was due to a partly magnetic and partly a force dielectric-dipole transition showing bright orange-red emission thus prove CaTiO3:Sm3+ phosphor a strong promising orange-red phosphor for display application.

142. The Important Aspects of Learning and Teaching in Experimental Sciences

The teaching and learning of experimental sciences, which primarily include the physical sciences, chemical sciences and the broad spectrum of biological sciences. Teaching and learning in the experimental sciences have to take account of a number of issues.  By 2020, experimental science subjects are increasingly seen as difficult and unfashionable alongside the of new disciplines. Accordingly, the rise in student numbers has not been matched by a proportionate rise of numbers within experimental science disciplines and the proportion of students studying the basic science UG and PG courses is decreasing. This has serious implications for curriculum design, for approaches to learning and teaching and for systems, for student support and retention. The changing science from a level of curriculum and the move towards the examination. There are also QAA Subject Benchmarking statements (Quality Assurance Agency), and institutions are increasingly introducing module ‘norms’ for hours of lectures, laboratory classes, and tutorials, and may also define the extent and type of assessments. The Cell for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs) help the students in writing the practical report or structure or essay. The ‘Differentiated learning’ is, an emerging issue and may be taken as the intention to differentiate learning opportunities and outcomes, differentiation by ability, focus on the ablest. This is a newly emerging issue in higher education.

Machiavelli said Warfare had started along the origin of mankind, but the continuous development of the arsenals altered the face of warfare. With technological outburst, surpassing all limitations of an attack through air, ground, and water. The World War II summed up with a weapon, nuclear bomb, capable of devastating a whole population of a region and may continue to deform genome perfectness of human race as multiple side-effects. All countries are aware of this fact and therefore cannot afford a war that may enter the atomic stage. With impending atomic threat in the state of war unconventional types of war finds favor and that this moral dilemma provides a safe umbrella to terrorist activities too.  Effect of this warfare is not limited in time or space, it is incomprehensive and most of the times enemy remains unknown leaving the suffering state to guess a counter-strategy. The World must be a secure and safe place and therefore eradicating NBC weapons from the scenario, we together can fight against the brutality of Unconventional Warfare.

145. Perlustration on Techno Level Classification of Location Based Services

All over the world more than half of the people are coming out for shopping. Though shopping is one of the basic needs of the people, they don’t show much importance to it due to lack of activeness and high cost. Most of the people think that all costly products are quality products and run towards Shopping Malls. However, all costly products are not quality products and all cheap products are not low in quality. Nowadays most of the online shopping is not reliable and fake products are also sold via online. In this paper, we developed a commodity search system that can search and filter the nearby shops which sell the desired products based on the customers budget. This task is performed using Nearest Neighbour Search and Branch & Bound Algorithm. The Nearest Neighbour Search is used to search the best route, Whereas Branch and Bound Algorithm is used to select the customers budget. Detailed information of related product and shops are displayed in the result, together with a navigation map showing the best route to the target shops. If the desired product is not available nearby, substitutes in the same category will be recommended for the users.

146. Emergency Vehicle Monitoring System

Emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire fighting vehicles and police force vehicles are required to reach their destination as quickly as possible. One of the most important delays is the time that is consumed in intersections with these traffic lights, especially when their intersections are highly congested. In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of an automatic pre-emption traffic control system that ensures to give preferences to all the emergency vehicles.It is significant to identify the density of traffic on real time mainly in metropolitan cities for signal control. This system is capable to sense the density of vehicles for intelligent traffic management and this will prioritize the emergency vehicle among other vehicles and provide a better route and time management using the database collected. Traffic light posts positioned at the traffic junction set the lights to green for specific period of time which will help the emergency vehicle to move free without getting stuck at any congestion. The proposed system will have RFID readers at the traffic junctions that will read all the RFID tags attached to the vehicles coming towards the junction.

147. Survey on E-Healthcare for Rural Women

The most significant period for a woman in her life is the pregnancy and delivery time. Especially in rural areas of India, there are many cases of maternal and baby mortality. These are mainly due to the lack of proper care and attention given to the pregnant woman during their pregnancy period. The women in urban areas have more facilities for their periodic health check up in sophisticated hospitals. Using many electronic devices they can schedule their health check up and vaccination dates. They can easily clarify their doubts during pre delivery and post delivery period through internet. n rural areas these opportunities are rare for the pregnant ladies. Even if it is available, they will not be comfortable in using them because of lack of knowledge in them. Hence, an idea has been proposed to periodically guide the pregnant ladies through SMS, voice messages and personalized advice and tips in their native language by collecting data from the history of each individual patients. They can access their entire check up history along with doctor’s name and contact. The process for digitalizing medicinal information into e Prescription format is done, hence it is easy to maintain a detailed and digitalized record for future treatment purposes.

The hexacopter assisted painting spray pump is equipment which is used for painting the high altitude buildings utilizes the same principle as that of the hexa copter for lifting purpose. In which rotary motion high speed brushless DC motor, whose shaft is connected to propeller can be converted to the upward thrust which lift the equipment, spraying pump is working on the principle of rotary pump which is used for spaying colorful paints. Six high speed, six torque DC motors utilizes battery power for there working. Propeller blades are connected to DC motor shaft. Due to the rotation of blades the thrust is produced because of air suppression from upward to downward direction and because of this, pressure on the top of the propeller reduces and pressure underneath the propeller increases, hence equipment gets lifted .for spraying the colors we used submersible liquid spraying pump. The controlling of the hexa copter is the part of electronics. The radio frequencies are used for transmission of control signals from remote to the hexa copter.The hexa copter will paint the tall buildings just like how the remote will be operated. The main application of the hexa copter is to fly and paint the building where human approach is difficult.

156. Distributed Networked Localization and Time Synchronization using Seawater Movement Pattern in Underwater Sensor Networks

Time synchronization and localization issues in underwater sensor networks, where more challenges are introduced due to the unique properties of the water environment. These challenges include long duration and transmission delay, low bandwidth, energy restriction, mobility, etc., we recommend the time synchronization and localization based on the semi-periodic nature of seawater movement, SLSMP called. First, we analyze error factors in time synchronization and localization, and then propose a method to deal with this error. For a more precise synchronization, SLSMP controls the time of transmission by the pattern of movement and seawater node providing exploits. Then SLSMP gradually decreases averaged localization error by the Kalman filter application or filter. Finally, INS (Inertial Navigation System) was adopted by the node mobility and error propagation problem caused localization error relieve. The simulation results show that SLSMP time synchronization error of 2.5 ms and 0.56 ms compared to TSHL and MU-Sync or reduced. Also, localization error of 44.73% reduced compared to the single multilateration system.

159. Smartphone and Wheelchair Control for Bedridden and Semi-Paralyzed People using Brain-Control Interface (BCI)

The community of semi-paralyzed and bedridden people account for almost 35 million of the world’s population. People with spinal cord injuries or nerve problems cannot live normal lives despite their minds remaining unaffected. They require constant attention and cannot be independent. They need assistance to even move around on a wheelchair or make use of ordinary devices like smartphones, which are an integral part of the modern world. The restrictions in the independent use of wheelchairs and smartphones do not allow the physically disabled people to contribute to the society effectively. Current technological solutions to help paralyzed and elderly people having physical disabilities require the use of custom made devices, which use sensors to detect muscle movement to interpret actions and thus control their wheelchair and any computing device they use. They are however very expensive and cannot cater to a general population of physically disabled people. Our solution is the use of a Brain-Computer Interface, which is a novel technology that enables people to control devices using their brainwaves. An electroencephalography (EEG) headgear is used to capture the brainwaves and transmit it to a smartphone and Arduino board to be interpreted and thus control them. This project hopes to enable wheelchair movement using BCI-Arduino communication. A specialized smartphone interface will provide a cursor in the phone, which can be controlled using the BCI headgear. The smartphone interface and the Arduino-wheelchair will be compatible with a wide range of BCI headgear. The use of BCI technology in this project will provide an economical and generalized solution that will cater to the entire paralyzed and elderly community while opposed to the current solution, which is expensive and custom made for each individual.
