10. Applied to animal breeding for disease resistance

Animal diseases cause significant losses to livestock’s and breeders, resultant into direct damages to animals, reduced productivity and cost of treatment. One of the promising additional methods to control diseases is breeding animals for disease resistance. The resistance of animals to diseases is related to their ability to withstand pathogens and harmful environmental influences. For the planned control of hereditary diseases in domestic animals, it is required not only an accurate knowledge of their inheritance but also an accurate and monotonous description and designation of the disease. Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstandings in identifying hereditary anomalies in domestic animals, an international nomenclature has been created for their description and designation. According to this nomenclature, hereditary diseases of each species of animals are designated by a certain letter of the alphabet. Specific diseases peculiar to this species are characterized by numerical indexes. Developments in technologies, such as genomic selection, may help overcome several of the limitations of traditional breeding programmes and will be especially beneficial in breeding for lowly heritable disease traits that only manifest themselves following exposure to pathogens or environmental stressors in adulthood. The current paper provides a brief overview of the present-day application of microsatellites markers in animal breeding and makes a significant contribution to the overall farm animal health and resistance to disease.

14. Design analysis of slide force testing machine

Brake calipers are a vital part of vehicle’s braking system. Brake calipers squeeze the brake pads against the surface of brake rotor to slow or stop the vehicle. The brake pads have high friction surfaces and serve to slow the rotor down or even bring it to a complete halt. The braking system will result in forces both mechanical and hydraulic during slow down or stop vehicle. These set of forces acting on brake caliper component result in deformations and stresses, which may cause the failure of the brake caliper. So, it is important to calculate the force carrying capacity of brake caliper in order to avoid the failure of it. The force carrying capacity of brake caliper can be calculated by using the sliding force testing machine. The design of the sliding force testing machine is developed by using solid edge software and by using thumb rule.

Online social networks have seen a rapid increment in the number of users across the globe. The giant social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Flicker etc do have billions of users and are increasing day by day. A recommender system is an engine which takes a particular user as an input and gives the preferential output which recommends the input user befriend with someone or join a group or get subscribed to an interest or to simply buy a product. To help users every site does have a recommender system. But these recommender systems are mostly based on the fact that the user friends have subscribed to the recommended page/group. In this work, we researched over the Reddit Social Network which is one of the major Social Networking Sites. We engineered a recommender system which recommends the users to follow the more specific Sub-Reddits feeds and is solely based on the current subscribed Sub-Reddits of a user instead of demographic knowledge or Friends knowledge. We used Link Prediction in Social Network as our base and used our novel approach of Weighted Adamic Adar score to find the Sub-Reddits which are closely related to the Sub-Reddits already linked with the user profile. In this way, we predicted the new Sub-Reddits in which the user might have interest. In this work, we addressed the issue of Cold Start for a user who does not have any prior ‘like’, ‘interest’ or item purchase history.

47. Big data analytics in precision agriculture and constant monitoring of soil and weather

Agriculture has been one of the zones where innovation has not been utilized to the fullest and the usage of Precision Agriculture (PA) is still in its beginning times. One of the most important parameters in the field of agriculture that needs to be monitored constantly is the moisture content of the soil. To maximize the productivity in this field the condition and development of the crops are the most critical variables and these elements rely upon the levels of moisture content in the soil. Different crops need different levels of moisture content, therefore it is very important to monitor and forecasts it. In this paper, a mathematical model is created to compute the surface soil dampness by utilizing both precipitation and evaporation rate obtained by the electromagnetic sensors installed in the ground. Evaporation can be considered to be a linear combination of dynamic evaporation and thermodynamic evaporation which happens due to radiation. Soil moisture content is inversely proportional to the evaporation rate and it is directly proportional to the precipitation rate. Therefore a linear regression model is the best fit to determine the soil moisture content. Constant monitoring can be made possible by the soil mapping software with the sensors which keep reading the data periodically.

Shilajit is a sticky substance found primarily in the rocks of the Himalayas. It develops over centuries from the slow decomposition of plants. The composition of shilajit largely depends on the type of plants associated with the rocks. Since the drug does not have specific organized morphological structure, it is very difficult to authenticate the drug. The primary component of shilajit is the fulvic acid which contributes to cognitive health. An attempt was thus made to establish an easy method for standardization & hence authentication of shilajit obtained from different geographical sources. Standardization assures that products are reliable in terms of quality, efficacy, performance, and safety. High-performance thin layer chromatography proves to be a good method for quantification of shilajit using a standard marker compound. As none of the methods given in literature were capable of providing good separation, a simple method was developed for detection and quantification of fulvic acid in three raw shilajit samples from different geographical origin and purified Indian shilajit. The developed method was validated for various parameters. Fulvic acid was estimated at 254nm by densitometry by using Merck, reversed phase thin layer chromatography plate silica gel 60 as the stationary phase and a combination of methanol: water (1:1) as a mobile phase. Validation was done using the sample containing the maximum amount of fulvic acid. It was found that purified sample showed the presence of the maximum concentration of fulvic acid. The method was found to be linear, specific, accurate and reproducible.

77. Triangular shaped Sirpinski fractal patch antenna used in GPS, 4th generation and 5th generation

Recent efforts by several researchers around the world to combine fractal geometry with electromagnetic theory have led to a large number of novel and innovative antenna designs. In this research work, we provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the rapid development of fractal antenna engineering. Fractal antenna engineering research focuses on two aspects: the first is the analysis and design of fractal antenna elements and the second is the application of fractal theory in antenna array design. Fractals do not have feature sizes and are usually replicated by themselves at different scales. These unique properties of fractal have been developed for the development of new types of antenna element designs in multi-band or compact size. On the other hand, fractal arrays are a subset of sparse arrays and have been shown to have many very desirable properties, including multi-band performance. Low sidelobe level, and the ability to develop fast beamforming algorithms based on the fractal, recursive nature. In this research work, we are presenting four band fractal antenna used for GPS, 4G and 5G applications. The antenna is simulated in HFSS (High-Frequency Structure Simulator) software tool. For the optimization of the proposed work parametric analysis is performed at various dimensions of the fractal antenna.

110. An efficient approach for attendance management system for occluded face recognition

The face is the identity of a person. The traditional approach for attendance can now be replaced by an effective online attendance management system in a classroom environment. The methods to exploit this physical feature have seen a great change since the advent of image processing techniques. The attendance is taken in every school, colleges, and library. The system aims to deviate from traditional systems and introduce a new approach for taking an attendance using image Processing. This describes the working of an Attendance Management System in a classroom environment. Generally, the students in the classroom will sit in an occluded manner. Hence there are more chances of overlapping of faces. In this method initially, the video clip of classroom is taken and is stored in the database. The video clips along with the occluded region are converted into full frames/images. Then we apply Face detection techniques to detect the faces in frames/images and then features are extracted from the detected face (HOG and LBP algorithm). The system first stores the faces of the students in the database. The detected faces are compared with the faces stored in the database during face recognition (SVM classifier). If the system recognizes faces, the attendance gets marked immediately of recognized faces. Given video is compared with the database, after comparing faces are detected and recognized. Attendance gets marked. The methods proposed till now have no solution for Occlusion in which, the overlapped faces are not detected. But this system has the solution for occlusion in which the overlapped faces are detected. Hence, the attendance gets marked.

112. Comprehending depression in Youth!

Depression has well been foreseen as the major cause of death in some 5-6 years to come, surpassing cancer, stroke, accidents, you name it! A precarious malady, of which regrettably not much can be done on a preventive front. Well, everyone seems to go through depression – everyone, from the maniac laborer on highly low wages to someone you follow on Instagram or Twitter (though the intensity is manageable enough most of the times)! But can something really be done about it in the first place?
Well, I would simply love to share my piece of experience with being an inexorable slave to the incessant mania, and helplessness. These won’t certainly be the words of a doctor. However, the primary inclination of whatever would go on further would always be towards helping you out with a few tools that I feel I have managed to gather down the road. I do feel that I have emerged victorious over such a bipolar disorder (fingers crossed – for at least I have been able to write on it!), and by now, I have fairly been able to acclimatize myself with a few poignant repercussions as well.

127. Analysis of isotropic plates for finite element large amplitude free flexural vibration

Structural components are generally subjected to dynamic loadings in their working life. Very often these components may have to perform in the severe dynamic environment wherein the maximum damage results from the resonant vibration. Susceptibility to fracture of materials due to vibration is determined by stress and frequency. The maximum amplitude of the vibration must be in the limited for the safety of the structure. Hence vibration analysis has become very important in designing a structure to know in advance its response and to take necessary steps to control the structural vibrations and its amplitudes. The non-linear or large amplitude flexural vibration of plates has received considerable attention in recent years because of the great importance and interest attached to the structures of low flexural rigidity. These easily deformable structures vibrate at large amplitudes. The solution obtained based on the lineage models provide no more than a first approximation to the actual solutions. The increasing demand for more realistic models to predict the responses of elastic bodies combined with the availability of super computational facilities has enabled researchers to abandon the linear theories in favor of non-linear methods of solutions. In the present investigation, large amplitude vibration of several rectangular and skew plates has been studied using an isoparametric quadratic plate bending element for the finite element method. The formulations have incorporated the shear deformation of the plates. Plates with various boundary conditions have been considered in the study. The effect of variations in the Poisson’s ratio, thickness parameter & plate aspect ratio on the non-linear frequency ratio has also been included in the research.

128. Mechanical characterization of aluminum-based hybrid metal matrix composites

Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) are characterized by lightweight, better specific strength and wear resistance properties. Due to their superior properties, MMCs have good potential for application in the automotive and aerospace industries. Among many types of MMCs, the most popular types are aluminum alloys reinforced with Al2O3 and MgO particulates since they provide favorable properties with only a minimum increase in density over the base alloy. The basic purpose of adding reinforcement into the metal matrix is to increase the yield strength, tensile strength, and hardness at ambient temperatures. Many of the components made out of MMCs are operated in applications, where they are subjected to relative sliding and rolling motion with respect to the surfaces of the mating components. The sliding wear of the composites is a complex process involving not only mechanical but also thermal and chemical interactions between the surfaces in contact. The Al 6061 Hybrid composites prepared by stir casting liquid metallurgy route with the percentage of 2% wt of Aluminium Oxide and 2% wt of Magnesium Oxide and the combination of 1% wt of Aluminium Oxide and 1% wt of Magnesium Oxide for Hybrid material. Hence, composites with Al2O3 and MgO with Al-6061 as reinforcement are likely to overcome the cost barrier as well as the different physical and mechanical properties for widely used in the automotive and spacecraft applications.

164. Steel fiber reinforced concrete under cyclic loading: An overview

In recent years, it has been recognized that addition of small closely spaced and uniform dispersed discrete steel fibers in concrete substantially improve its static and dynamic properties. The addition of steel fibers from 0.5 to 2.0 percent by volume in concrete is found to impart superior strength characteristics i.e. compressive strength, flexural strength, shear strength, fatigue strength and impact resistance. Recently, the use of steel fibers has increased in flexural members and columns of concrete structures subjected to cyclic loadings such as bridge decks, highway roads, runways of airports, offshore platforms and buildings. It is necessary to obtain more information on the mechanical behaviour of steel fiber reinforced concrete under cyclic loading in attempting applications of SFRC in structural members. The present investigation was planned to study the plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete under cyclic loading. The basic parameters of the study were fiber contents expressed as volume fraction and stress levels expressed as a percentage of the maximum flexural strength. The fiber contents used were 0.5 and 1.0% by volume of concrete. The beams were tested at three stress levels i.e. 85%, 90%, and 95%. Straight mild steel fibers were used in the study with an aspect ratio of 70. The physical properties of the basic constituent material viz, cement, sand, coarse aggregate, steel fiber were obtained as per relevant Indian standard specification. The compressive strength of concrete was obtained at 28 days. The mix proportion used was 1: 1.52:1.88 by weight with a water-cement ratio of 0.47. In fresh state properties of SFRC, workability tests present were carried out with indicators of workability i.e, slump, compaction factor and inverted cone test. From the study, it was found that the addition of fibers to the concrete effects the cyclic loading life significantly under flexural cyclic loading. The variability in the cyclic loading life of specimen is quite large as expected in any cyclic loading test programme. The ultimate failure followed almost immediately after the first crack.

168. Studies on ore mineralogy of placer ilmenite from parts of east coast of India

Abstract Placer ilmenites from three deposits of Andhra Pradesh coast have been investigated for their ore mineralogy. The deposits studied are Kakinada, Bhimunipatnam, and Srikurmam. Standard ore mineralogical methodology adopted for the preparation of polished sections of placer ilmenite grains from the three deposits. The detailed study of these sections under reflected light microscope revealed that the ilmenites from Kakinada are devoid of exsolutions whereas the ilmenites from other two deposits have indicated exsolved phases in the grain level textures, these phases are mainly Ilmenau-hematite, hemo-ilmenite and exsolved phases of rutile. The grain level textures or exsolved phases observed are 1) Homogenous ilmenites, 2) Ilmenites with simple Exsolutions, 3) Ilmenites with complex Exsolutions, 4) Irregular forms, 5) Dispersion or emulsion texture, 6) Lamellar Texture, 7) Skeletal Texture, 8) Worm like lamellae 9) Myrmekitic or Graphic Exsolutions and, 10) Alteration textures. Their presence will have implications for the processing of ilmenites. Because of the fact that the hematite phases in the ilmenite grain will make the ilmenite more iron-rich and thus may result from some processing problems as well as reduced titanium recovery.

169. Automated control of valves and pump of a biodiesel plant

Biodiesel production involves the transesterification process, where the triglyceride lipid source converts as fatty acid methyl esters and glycerol. A large amount of waste cooking oil is produced globally and will dispose of the available energy. According to the Health Laws of Waste Cooking Oil, it does not need to be recycled in the food industry. In this research, the main objective was to create a small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) plant for the production of biodiesel from improving the process requirements and from waste cooking oil. The product can be used in place of petroleum diesel for automotive and industrial applications without any environmental impact and ensures the same performance of internal combustion engines with essential changes. The aim is to develop an automated machine to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil. The machine is building alternative methods for re-use of waste cooking oil to make biodiesel. Biodiesel can be used to produce waste vegetable oil as a raw material. Waste vegetable oil is easily available and cheaper and the process of converting waste vegetable oil into biodiesel takes time, and biodiesel production requires an operator to run the system. Due to these requirements, a typical biodiesel system requires much operator interaction which is not overcome by the existing system. The system was designed and built in conjunction with pumps, valves, temperature sensors, etc., to completely handle the production of biodiesel with minimum operator interaction. The developed system circulates the fluid throughout the system and presenting the end user with biodiesel upon completion of a full cycle.

Industrial chimney releases pollutant to the environment which causes air pollution. As an air pollutant is transported from a source to a potential receptor the pollutant disperses into the surrounding air so that it arrives at a much lower concentration than it was on leaving the source. Air pollution modeling helps to determine the mathematical relationship between the effects of source emission of pollutant on ground level concentration. Many dispersion models have been developed and used to estimate the downwind ambient concentration of air pollutants from sources such as industrial plants, vehicular traffic or accidental chemical release. Air Pollution emission plume i.e., the flow of pollutant in the form of smoke released into the air. Throughout many dispersion models, Gaussian Dispersion Models perhaps the oldest (circa 1936) and perhaps the most commonly used model type. The primary algorithm used in Gaussian modeling is the Generalized Dispersion Equation for a continuous point source plume. This paper reviews the air pollution modeling which relates the effects of source emission on ground level concentration by mathematical equations and terminology.

The rural electrification in India gathers its first big momentum with the launch of Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) in April 2005. In recent years schemes like Deendayal Upadhyaya, Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) in 2014 and Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (Saubhagya) in 2017 accelerates the process further. It’s not about government schemes only, but rather the various methods of rural electrification that has been in major focus since the late nineties. Once it was only traditional grid extension to electrify rural India. But with the advancement of renewable energy options, mini-grid system and solar home lighting systems has been emerging as potential alternatives also. At present, these three methods i.e. traditional grid extension, mini-grid system, and solar home lighting system are in major focus for rural electrification. Each of them has their own merits and demerits. The present article is basically a relative pro cons analysis of these methods and an initiative to identify at the preliminary level the best suitable option to electrify rural India.

186. Characteristic behaviour of porous concrete and conventional concrete

Porous concrete is made using large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows water to pass through the concrete slab. Porous concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses. It is an important application for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact development techniques used by builders to In the presence of clayey soil, water can be percolated through providing borehole at every 1-2km with the help of drainage system. Water can be filtered and stored as fresh water below the ground. We can also give direction to water specifically according to need. By providing certain angle to the flaky aggregate water which gets drained will make its way to the slope going down towards the sewer line or any other drainage arrangement. This could be useful where soil strata have less water absorption capacity. INTRODUCTION Porous concrete (also called porous concrete, Porous concrete, no fines concrete and porous pavement) is a special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a. Porous concrete is made using large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows water to pass through the concrete slab. Porous concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses. It is an important application for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact development techniques used by builders to protect water quality Porous concrete is a mixture of cement, water and a particular sized coarse aggregate combined to form a Porous structural material. It has a high volume of voids, which is the factor responsible for the lower strength and its lightweight nature. Porous concrete is also called Porous concrete, zero-fines concrete and Porous concrete. • Highly porous allows rapid surface water removal • Reduces risk of flooding • Reduces freeze/thaw attack • Reduces the requirement for more expensive drainage systems • Reduces maintenance costs for stormwater management Pervious concrete has the void content range from 15% to 35% of total volume of concrete which gives higher permeability as the purpose of this concrete. but other hand, higher porosity decrease the amount of compressive strength of pervious concrete than conventional concrete. Use of fine sand at limit from 5% to 10% can give enough structural strength in pervious concrete. But further increment of sand can control the strength properties of pervious concrete The compressive strength of conventional previous is lower than 15 to 20 MPa [4]. But with use of modifications in coarse aggregates can increase strength in range of 12 to 14% than conventional compressive strength Porous concrete is mostly used in non-pavements applications, limited use in pavements applications. This assignment purpose is to assess the suitability for Porous concrete to be used for the construction of road pavements. This will include investigation of current literature on the topic and conducting standard concrete testing on Porous concrete and conventional concrete to determine and evaluate their properties. With the help of tested data a conclusion is made on the usefulness of Porous concrete pavements and it may be determined that further testing is required. CONCLUSION There was a considerable difference in the compressive strength between the concrete samples but this does not affect the outcome as it was the relationships between the characteristics that were assessed. The relationships showed that Porous concrete acts in a manner similar to what was found in the conventional concrete sample. A major difference found was that the Porous concrete deformed more than the conventional sample before failure. This shows that a Porous pavement has the ability to deform under the loading of traffic. The deformation should not affect the performance of the pavement providing its capacity is not exceeded. Porous concrete is a viable material that has the potential to replace the use of traditional concrete pavements in situations where heavy traffic is limited, such as car parks, residential streets and driveways. More widespread applications may be possible if methods of reducing the traveling that occurs within the top aggregate are found. The varying compressive strengths obtained from the different aggregate samples shows that the shape of the aggregate particles used can dramatically affect the strength of the concrete. LITERATURE REVIEW Klemas, 2015)The population in urban areas can grow so fast that stormwater drainage systems are not installed or the increase of impervious surfaces overwhelm the storm water sewage system that is in place Krishna Raju et al (1975) focused on the optimum water content for Porous concrete. It was determined that for the particular aggregate-cement ratio there is a narrow range for the optimum water-cement ratio. This water-cement ratio was imperative to gain the maximum possible compressive strength. A higher than ideal water-cement ratio would cause the cement paste to drain from the aggregate particles. Alternatively, a water-cement ratio too low would stop the cement paste from adhering sufficiently to the aggregate. When the optimum water-cement ratio was not obtained, sufficient compaction could not be achieved, further compounding the loss of compressive strength. Abadjieva et al (1997) investigated the influence of the aggregate-cement ratio on the tensile and flexural strength of Porous concrete. This study only assessed aggregate-cement ratios ranging from 6:1 to 10:1. The highest strengths were obtained with an aggregate-cement ratio of 7:1 and the strength decreased with an increasing aggregate-cement ratio. He found that the tensile and flexural strengths of Porous concrete were considerably lower than those obtained from conventional concrete, but he could not explain why the sample with the highest strength had a ratio of 7:1. Baoshan Huang(2009)[4] carried out the experiment on pervious concrete with use of latex polymer to improve the strength properties. With use of latex, natural sand and fibre they evaluated the effect of polymer modification on mechanical and physical properties of PMPC. Based on results , it was possible to produce pervious concrete mixture with acceptable permeability Objectives of the Proposed work 1. find out durability, properties of Porous concrete. 2. To conclude impact resistant of Porous concrete asphalt road. 3. To compare the properties of Porous concrete with the existing concrete roadway. 4. To find the Strength of Porous concrete. EXPERIMENTAL WORK 4.2 Test Methodology This project is focused predominantly on the use of Porous concrete as a road pavement material. As this is a comparison between Porous concrete pavements and conventional concrete pavements, there is a requirement that the tests being conducted can occur on both samples. The test procedure included the initial steps of deciding on the tests to be conducted and choosing a number of aggregate-cement ratios for the Porous concrete. This was followed by conducting the preliminary mix design and compressive strength tests on these samples to determine the mix that performed most successfully. 4.3 Concrete Tests The tests that were conducted had to provide a complete picture of all the characteristics of the concrete in both the wet and hardened state. For this reason, it was proposed that the testing incorporate aggregate testing to determine the potential effect of the aggregate shape on the performance of the Porous concrete. This was followed by conducting workability tests like the slump and compacting factor tests on the wet concrete sample. The hardened concrete tests proposed for the project were compressive strength and indirect tensile tests. This testing includes determining the void ratio and assessing the permeability of the Porous concrete. 4.4 Mix Design The mix design in this case was the determination of the ratio of aggregate, cement and water that possessed the most favorable properties. For this particular situation trial mixes were designed. The mixes were determined from previous literature and particular mixes used by some companies. There are only three constituents of Porous concrete that can be considered and varied: aggregate, cement and water content. 4.5 Conventional Concrete There was no mix design undertaken for conventional concrete, since the strength of certain mixes is readily known. This meant that no trials were required to be carried out. When conducting the tests to determine the properties of a conventional concrete. 4.6 Porous Concrete The mix designs for Porous concrete were obtained from printed articles. There were a large number of different mixes that are currently being used for a whole range of applications.

The remaining small and large samples were tested for 28 day compressive strength. The results of those tests can be found in the table below. 14 Day Strength 28 Day Strength Aggregate- Cement- Water ratio Compressive Strength (MPa) Indirect Tensile Strength(MPa) Compressive Strength (MPa) Compressive strength of large cylinders (MPa) 8:1:0.2 4.29 1.54 3.25 6.67 4.29 3.61 6:1:0.3 6.68 1.62 7.54 5.33 7.22 7.34 4.5:1:0.3 7.34 2.29 11.72 7.62 7.78 12.88 4.8:1:0.26 8.81 1.53 6.41 5.25 8.41 6.38 Table 4.2 – The data collected from the trial mixes 4.7 Summary The Porous concrete mix design found that an aggregate-cement-water mix of 4.5:1:0.3 produced the highest compressive strength out of the different mix proportions trialed. Since the highest compressive strength was found in the 4.5:1:0.3 mix, it was used for the remainder of the testing in this project. 4.8 Sieve Analysis Sieve analysis is a method of determining the grading of a particular aggregate or a mixture of aggregates. The sieve analysis is carried out in a mechanical sieving machine to provide a more consistent result and achieve much greater accuracy. The sieves used vary in size but consecutive sieves used are smaller in aperture as you move down the stack. There are three different methods for undertaking a sieve analysis. Two wet analysis methods can be used, one with alcohol and the other with water. The third method is dry analysis, which can only be used for granular particles larger than 125 m. 4.11 Compressive Strength • The compressive strength tests are conducted to ensure a minimum strength is achieved by the particular mix. Cylinder and cube testing are methods of determining the compressive strength. Both methods of determining compressive strength will be used as it may be difficult to achieve a good result when using the cylinders. 4.13 Indirect Tensile Test The tensile strength of concrete cannot be measured directly. This leads to the need to determine the tensile strength through indirect methods. The indirect tensile test is also referred to as the ‘Brazil’ or splitting test, where a cylinder is placed on its side and broken in the compression machine. This test can also be used to determine the modulus of elasticity of the concrete sample.

188. Study on road accident and improved safety measures of road accident

Road accidents are an outcome of the interplay of various factors, some of which are the length of the road network, vehicle population, human population and adherence/enforcement of road safety regulations etc. Road accident causes injuries, fatalities, disabilities, and hospitalization with severe socio-economic costs across the country. Road traffic injuries cause considerable economic losses to victims, their families, and to nations as a whole. Almost 90% of the world’s fatalities on the roads occur in low- and middle-income countries, even though these countries have approximately half of the world’s vehicles. Half of those dying on the world’s roads are “vulnerable road users”: pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Without action, road traffic crashes are predicted to rise to become the 7th leading cause of death by 2030.

193. A soft switching dual flyback DC-DC converter for renewable energy applications

The world’s total energy consumption is higher than its production. With respect to the efficiency, it is known that the conventional energy sources say fossil fuels, is used much more than the non-conventional energy sources. Due to the over-consumption of energy from fossil fuels, after few years it may extinct and thousands of years are needed to produce fossil fuels. Hence, non-conventional energy sources must be used as an alternative source of energy production. One of the renewable energy sources which are available in bulk is solar. But the energy production from solar is not as efficient as that of fossil fuels. Hence, a DC-DC converter has to be built to enhance the solar power. A DC-DC Flyback converter with soft-switching is been built which increases the output voltage of the solar power depending upon the Flyback transformer ratio.

196. Characteristic behaviour of crush glass fibers on the strength of concrete tile: A review paper

The effect of glass fiber on flexural strength, split-tensile strength, and compressive strength Was studied for different fiber content on M-20 grade concrete designed as per IS 10262. The Maximum size of aggregates used was 20mm. To study the effect on compressive strength, Flexural strength, split-tensile strength 6 cubes, 6 prisms and 6 cylinders were cast and tested. After that, a practical application of GFRC in the form of cement concrete tiles was taken into Consideration and no special technique was used to produce these tiles. The thickness of the tiles Was 20mm and maximum size of aggregates used was 8mm. The water-cement ratio was kept Consistent and the admixture content was varied from 0.8 to 1.5 percent to maintain slump in Between 50mm to 100mm. The size of short fibers Used was 30mm and the glass fibers were alkali resistant. The effect of these short fibers on wet Transverse strength, compressive strength, and water absorption was carried out. Six full-sized Tiles 400mm*400mm*20mm were tested and the results recorded. Pulse velocity tests were also conducted.

197. Design of low power delay efficient Vedic multiplier using reversible gates

In early days of computers, multiplication was implemented generally with a sequence of addition, subtraction and shift operations. There exist many algorithms proposed in the literature to perform multiplication, each offering different advantages and having the trade-off in terms of delay, circuit complexity, area occupied on-chip and power consumption. Latency is the major issue of computing a function. Simply it’s a measure of how long the inputs to a device are stable is the final result available on outputs. Throughput is the measure of how many multiplications can be performed in a given period of time. The multiplier is not only a high delay block but also a major source of power dissipation. Normal multiplication process involves generation of partial products, an addition of partial products and finally, total product is obtained. So the performance of the multiplier depends on the number of partial products and the speed of the adder. The reversible computation is one field which assures zero power dissipation. Thus during the design of any reversible circuit, the delay is the only parameter that has to be taken care of. Hence reversible Urdhva Tiryakbhayam [UT] Multiplier had been proposed for reversible calculations. Vedic multiplier based on the Urdhva Tiryakbhayam algorithms provide the best results in terms of delay, area, and power.

It also sends the location of the car to the owner after every ten minutes. We can change this time interval.

202. Determination of eye end for natural fiber reinforced hybrid composite mono leaf spring

The automobile industry has shown interest in the replacement of conventional materials with composite due to its property of high strength ratio. Reducing weight while increasing or maintaining the strength of the product is highly important to research issue in the modern world. For this purpose, the material selected was jute fiber and carbon fiber in Epoxy resin.  Present work aims at determining the suitability of jute fiber reinforced hybrid composite to replace conventional multi-leaf spring. Various combination of jute fiber and carbon fiber in the epoxy resin is analyzed with respect to deflection. For this, a parabolic mono leaf spring is modeled in solid edge software and analyzed using simulation tool FEA. As eye end plays a pivotal role in attaching the leaf spring to the frame and determining is the capability to carry loads the spring is modeled with the eye end. Here again, two different possibilities are analyzed. In one case steel eye end is bolted to the Natural fiber reinforced hybrid composite (NFRHC) mono-leaf spring and in another, the eye end is made from the same composite. The two types are then statically and dynamically analyzed using ANSYS software. It is found that NFRHC leaf spring with steel eye end bolted to it has more stresses and lower strain energy compared to bonded eye end NFRHC leaf spring. While the Natural frequency of composite leaf spring is higher than the conventional leaf spring resonance will be reduced Hence NFRHC spring with bonded eye end is considered a suitable replacement with a weight reduction of 80% from that of conventional steel leaf spring.
 

203. Removal of ammonical nitrogen from industrial effluent

Ammonia removal from wastewater has become a worldwide emerging concern as ammonia proves to be toxic to aquatic species and also causes eutrophication in the natural water environment. Nitrogen compounds in our effluent have been removed by means of biological approaches(micro-organisms). Based on the microbial nitrogen cycle many biological technologies and processes have been developed and implemented for nitrogen removal from wastewater, such as de-nitrification, nitrification and by the use of biological species. However, with the effluent discharge standards have become more stringent (<10mg total nitrogen/L), conventional processes cannot meet the new requirements. We have removed the amount of nitrogen with the help of bacteria such as Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira. The limit of discharging nitrogen is 50ppm into the rivers. So by using these bacteria, our aim will be fulfilled.

208. A literature survey on detecting compromised accounts on social networks

Online social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter have become one of the main media to stay in touch with the rest of the world. Over time, social network users build a trust relationship with the account they follow. Unfortunately, when control over an account falls into hands of a cybercriminal, he can easily exploit this trust to further his own malicious agenda. Moreover, the effect of an account compromise can extend well beyond the reputation of a company. This paper presents COMPA, which is designed to detect compromised accounts on online social networks. COMPA is based on a simple observation, social network users develop habit overtime and those habits are fairly stable. Compromised accounts on the online social network are detected with the help of behavioral profile of user and messages sent by him or her. Every time a new post or a message is generated, it is compared to this behavioral profile. If the message significantly deviates from the learned behavioral profile, COMPA flags it as compa. We implemented our approach in a tool called COMPA and evaluated for Twitter and Facebook in this paper. We show that our system is capable of building meaningful behavioral profiles for individual accounts and detect it and send message notification to admin, who is able to block it.

215. Design of EEG based human-computer interface for real-time application

Humans have fantasized about the ability to communicate and interact with machines through thought alone or to create devices that can peer into person’s mind and thoughts. These ideas have captured the imagination of humankind in the form of ancient myths and modern science fiction stories. However, it is only recently that advances in cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging technologies have started to provide us with the ability to interface directly with the human brain. Primarily driven by growing societal recognition for the needs of people with physical disabilities, researchers have used these technologies to build brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), communication systems that do not depend on the Brain’s normal output pathways of peripheral nerves, muscles. In these systems, users explicitly manipulate their brain activity instead of using motor movements to produce signals that can be used to control computers or communication devices. The impact of this work is extremely high, especially to those who suffer from devastating neuromuscular injuries and neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which eventually strips individuals of voluntary muscular activity while leaving cognitive function intact.

221. Traffic sign detection from video using image processing

Since past decades, more people in India are demanding own vehicles. Population in India increases day by day and so transportation methods. Road accidents are increased especially on highways. Many peoples get injured and lost their life because they do not see the road sign boards and also not aware of the meaning of road sign boards. Proposed automatic road sign detection system enhances intelligent transportation system by providing information about road sign to the driver and keeps drivers view on road, which will minimize accidents on the road and saves the life of people. A proposed system identifies the road sign using image processing techniques. A system collects the video of road signs with the help of a camera which is mounted on moving vehicle. Image videos are converted into frames of the image at the rate of 25frames/sec. Image pre-processing techniques such as converting the RGB image to greyscale, resizing of the image are used. Images are enhanced using median filtering technique. To extract features of image speeded-up robust features (SURF) technology is used. The standard road sign images are stored in the database and for classification of features, linear support vector machine (SVM) is used. Results are tested on 10 videos of road signs and it shows that proposed method correctly detects normal, blur and partial view of road sign videos.

222. Design and implementation of smart black box system for gathering the safety information in vehicles

According to World Health Organization, over a million people die every year due to vehicle accidents. To respond to this situation, the black box concept is used as the first step to solve the problem. In order to overcome this problem, we are trying to implement the concept of “black box” in this paper. This paper describes real-time data collection while driving a vehicle and to check the driving behaviour and a car status, and this data is used to investigate the accident and to investigate the accident. New communication technologies are integrated into modern automobiles, giving the better assistance for the injured people in traffic accidents. Recent studies show how communication capabilities should be supported by artificial intelligence systems capable of automating many decisions to be taken from emergency services. This reduces the security risk for the severity and rescue time of the accident. The accident is indicated by the use of sensors and the location and intensity of the accident can be sent via SMS via GSM. A car black box is a tool used to record engine temperature, interruption, speed, vehicle driving, and information about the accurate location of the vehicle. The outputs of these parameters are displayed in LCD. The data recorder stores the values of all sensors communicated with the controller. Then this information is transmitted via a wireless network. This collected information will be sent to the police server, ambulance via the GSM network. The system considers the most appropriate variables (such as sensors) that represent the severity of the accident. The GPS tracking system in this mobile helps detect vehicle during the accident and enables authorities to expand immediate emergency medical service.

Women are an integral part of the society and the most valuable gift of nature for a family. If she falls ill every one of the family is badly affected and the output of the family to the society gets at stake. Indoor pollutants could be significant public health risks. People in modern societies especially women spend most of their time in the indoor environment. In spite of the evidence of harm to human health, poor indoor environments are generally posed more risk to women health.
There are huge numbers of indoor atmospheric pollutants. Combustion sources, heating and cooling system, building materials, volatile organic compounds, noisy home appliances, moulds, and dampness etc. are main sources of indoor air pollution.
Identification of a source of physical, chemical, biological or radiative pollutants which have harmful health effects, and improvement of such harmful environmental conditions should be undertaken on priority for the sake of the health of women. Ensuring safe indoor air to our women will be a great contribution to the output of a family and thereby the output of society and nation directly or indirectly.
 

225. Applying machine learning in video monitoring of cattle

Monitoring cattle behavior by using latest technologies such as GPS or Video camera is beneficial in understanding the behavioral patterns such as mating habits and early detection of diseases. The need for technologically assisted means becomes more important when a number of cattle become large. Commercial cow dairies, beef farms, sheep and goat farms etc normally have thousands of animals to be economically viable. Considering the volume of cattle and non-availability of sufficiently cheap trained labor to monitor the animals, often results into late detection of disease, which it might result into spreading of them in a larger cattle population, this might cause a large amount of cattle deaths or huge expenses on controlling the disease.  I suggest a system for cattle behavioral monitoring by using multiple video cameras in whole grazing area and in animal sheds, where farm animals can be continuously monitored. I also suggest a low-intensity laser pointing system coupled with a monitoring system to easily and quickly identify the animals requiring attention.

228. Analysis on effect of ball burnishing processes of EN24 Steel

In the quality assurance of machine components, the so-called finishing and super finishing processes have important roles. During recent years, the post-machining cold forming methods such as burnishing, shot peening and others have occupied a very important place in the industry. Burnishing, which is one of the effective methods used to improve the surface layer properties, is essentially a cold forming process in which the raised micro-irregularities on the surface layer are plastically moved and pressed into the microcavities. The process is carried out with a highly polished ball or roller type tool which is traversed by force over a rotating workpiece. Machines normally used for burnishing operation can be drill presses, lathes, boring machines, and automatic bar or chucking machines.
The process of burnishing can be done on parts which are turned, bored, reamed or ground. Any ductile or malleable material with hardness less than 40 HRC can be successfully burnished. Although diamond burnishing machines are available for finishing material harder than 40 HR. the burnishing process is used to improve the shape of components besides producing a good surface finish. Quite the opposite, the burnishing tool will not correct deviations from roundness or Straightness to any degree.
In this work, an attempt is made to compare the results of ball burnishing (in abrasive paste conditions). The parameters taken into consideration are burnishing speed, burnishing feed, burnishing force, ball material and number of passes. Mathematical models have been developed in terms of surface roughness and surface hardness for ball burnishing process.

231. Design, development and experimental studies of downdraft gasifier

Fossil fuels are the major source of energy but the quantities of these are limited and use of these causes greenhouse effect by net addition of CO2 to earth atmosphere and also there is an issue of scarcity of fossil fuels (i.e. Petrol, LPG, and CNG) in the world. Especially in developing country like India, fossil fuel price is also very high. So, current objective is to find a substitute for a fossil fuel. Before the existence of fossil fuel, biomass was the only source of energy which was understood by mankind and utilized as a fuel. Gasification of biomass allows overcoming these issues. Energy extraction from biomass with considering environmental aspect is a challenge. Gasification is thermochemical process which converts biomass into synthesis gas (“syngas”). Syngas mainly comprises of Hydrogen (H2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which has the capability to further burnout and releases energy. Syngas can be used for power production, heating application, and liquid fuel production. There are several reactors available for gasification process; present study is focused on downdraft gasifier reactors. It is focused on the production of syngas and effect of various parameters like equivalence ratio, the moisture content of biomass wood used on a composition of syngas. Therefore, the intention is to produce a substitute gaseous fuel syngas from biomass by using fixed bed downdraft gasifier.

Early years of life are highly influenced by the quality of relationships with parents, which have a lasting impression on future mental health. The parenting quality of infants those who were ‘normal/ at low risk’ and those who were ‘at risk’ and its effect on the mental health of infants was studied on a sample of 97 mother-infant dyads from rural and urban Dharwad, Karnataka, India. The parent-child interactions during play (with available play materials) were videotaped for 12-15 minutes duration at their home. The parenting quality was assessed using Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale by Comfort and Gordon (2006) which measures three constructs of parenting viz. building relationships, promoting learning and supporting confidence. The mental health of infants was measured using Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Socio-emotional by Squires et.al (2002) and the socioeconomic status (SES) was measured using SES Scale developed by Agarwal et.al (2005). The results revealed that the mothers of infants at ‘low risk’ were high on parenting quality. Child characteristics such as age and ordinal position, maternal characteristics such as age, education, occupation and age at marriage significantly predicted the infant mental health (37%). The maternal parenting quality alone predicted infant mental health (5%) which was in-turn correlated to maternal age, education, occupation, and SES. Hence there is a great need to provide intervention to mothers of infants who are ‘at risk’ and also to those mothers who are low on parenting quality so that the future generation blooms without any stressors that can damage the infant mental health.

244. Statistical approach to study the lithostratigraphic sequence in the Proterozoic Kolhans

Lithofacies succession in the Proterozoic Kolhan Group has been studied statistically using modified Cross-Association Analysis, Markov chain model, and Entropy function. The lithofacies analysis based on the field descriptions and their vertical packaging has been done for assessing the sediment depositional framework and the environment of deposition. Six lithofacies arranged, in two genetic sequences, have been recognized within the succession. The result of Markov chain and cross-association analysis indicates that the deposition of the lithofacies is in the Markovian and non-cyclic process and represents asymmetric fining- upward. The chi-square test has been done to test for randomness in hypotheses for lithofacies transition at the confidence level of 95%. The entropy analysis has been done to evaluate the randomness of occurrence of lithofacies in a succession. Two types of entropies are related to every state; one is relevant to the Markov matrix expressing the upward transitions (entropy after deposition), and the other, relevant to the matrix expressing the downward transitions (entropy before deposition). The total energy regime calculated from the entropy analysis showing maximum randomness, suggests that changing pattern in the deposition has been a result of rapid to the steady flow. This results from a change in the depositional pattern from deltaic to lacustrine deposit and sediment bypassing that finally generated non-cyclicity in the sequence.

245. Battery-ultracapacitor hybrid system for electric vehicles using new bidirectional quadratic DC-DC converter

Hybrid energy storage system is used with the objective of taking advantage of the best characteristics of each device, creating a system that is superior, than any of the devices used alone. Due to operational requirements of distributed generation systems, energy storage devices like batteries and super-capacitors, need bidirectional DC-DC converters to allow charge or discharge according to with the necessary conditions. A new battery-ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage system is proposed for electric vehicles. The main objectives of using ultra-capacitors in alongside batteries are: improving performance, increase the system efficiency and extend the battery life. In many applications, conventional bidirectional converters are inadequate since the specified range of input voltages and the specified range of output voltages call for an extremely large range of conversion ratios. A new bidirectional quadratic converter with high voltage gain in both step-down and step-up operation modes is used along with the ultra-capacitor. This converter is also characterized by a simple control technique since it is only necessary to control one power semiconductor for each mode. The additional power semiconductors remain always on or always off. In this project, an Ultra Capacitor is integrated with the battery in an Electric Vehicle using the new bidirectional quadratic buck-boost converter to improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle system and enhancing the battery life. The system model and the implemented control strategy has been simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The hardware of the proposed system is made. The control strategy is implemented using TMS320F28027.

For conventional boost converters, switching stress will be more at high gain, in order to alleviate this problem three level boost converters are used. The mismatched voltage levels between the dynamic lower voltage and the required constant higher voltage of the DC link bus of the inverter can be solved using flying-capacitor based three-level boost converter with a quasi-Z source (TLBqZ). The operating principle of wide range voltage-gain for this topology is according to the effective switching states of the converter and the multi-loop energy communication characteristic of the quasi-Z source. The dynamic self-balance principle of the flying capacitor voltage is utilized. An analysis is done on the performance of the converter with PI and fuzzy controller. The fuzzy logic controller is used for switching pulse generation in the converter, as it is more advantageous over PI controller. An H-bridge inverter is fed from the converter that connects to the AC loads. The simulation of the circuit is performed in MATLABR2014a and waveforms are analyzed. An experimental prototype of the converter is implemented using dsPIC30F2010 microcontroller and results are verified.

247. Soft switching bidirectional DC-DC converter for energy storage systems

Bidirectional DC-DC converters are one of the most important parts of energy storage systems such as in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the fuel-cell vehicle, renewable energy system, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Energy storage systems are used for storing energy and use it during fluctuations or supply outage. To improve its efficiency a soft-switching bidirectional DC-DC converter using a lossless active snubber is used. In this converter, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) of the main switches and Zero Current Switching (ZCS) of the auxiliary switches are always achieved by utilizing an active snubber which consists of auxiliary switches, diodes, an inductor, and a capacitor. In addition, by utilizing this active snubber, there is no reverse recovery problem induced by the poor dynamic performance of the MOSFETs body diode. Moreover, by adjusting according to loads, it is possible to achieve optimized overall efficiency throughout the whole loading range. This system is analyzed by the simulation in MATLAB/SIMULINK 2017. Hardware is implemented using dsPIC30f2010 microcontroller for 20W and 20 kHz and results are verified.

248. Fuzzy controller based boost PFC converter for EV application

The scarcity of fossil fuel and the increased pollution leads to the use of Electric Vehicles (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) instead of conventional Internal Combustion (IC) engine vehicles. In EVs and HEVs, a battery is used as the main power source, so that battery charger is treated as the core technology. Battery charger based on a unidirectional non-isolated boost power factor correction (PFC) converter for electric vehicles (EV) is introduced here. This non-isolated high gain boost PFC converter automatically balances the output voltages for an unbalanced load without the need for any additional control strategy or auxiliary circuit. For EV charging application one of the important factors is that the battery chargers should consume sinusoidal current with controlled power factor for contributing to the power quality in the future Smart Grids and high voltage gain for charging the battery. This converter can improve the power quality and can control the output voltage according to the demand of the battery. Due to these advantages, it can be used for electric vehicle charging application. Fuzzy control has been used for switching pulse generation in the converter. The topology has been simulated in MATLAB2014a and the various waveforms were analyzed. The control circuit was implemented using dsPIC30F2010. An experimental prototype of the converter was set up and the results were verified.

249. A parametric study of blended cement

Development of infrastructure play vital role in the economic development of any country. Our country is unable to complete the targeted length of roads as the cost of construction is increasing at an alarming rate due to increasing cost of construction materials. Partial or full replacement of conventional materials by suitable waste materials results in reduced construction costs and also helps in safe disposal of waste. Researchers have performed studies on utilizing waste materials such as Crusher Dust. Zink slag, Copper slag, scraps tires, etc.In pavement construction. In this investigation fly ash was used, because it is available in large quantities in the country as a waste product The use of fly ash as a replacement of sand and cement is an economical solution for making green and denser concrete. The study of the mechanical properties of concrete with 30 percent replacement of sand with (bottom ash), partial replacement of cement by…… and use of superplasticizer is presented in this thesis. The effect of blending fly ash content (15% to 45%) and replacing equal amount of cement for paving concrete was studied. Various mixes were developed for paving concrete, which aimed to meet the required specification provided by the (MORTH) . To address the strength and toughness, both closed-loop compression and flexure tests were conducted. The results were compared with the control concrete specimens prepared using the current mix design procedures of the IS : 10262. Test results indicated that up to 25% cement could be replaced by blending coal fly ash, resulting in high strength. The strength of concrete with 25% fly ash was higher than both the control concrete and the concrete containing 15% fly ash. At 25% cement replacement, the strength of M40 grade concrete exceeded 52 MPa in the lab with higher slump. The strength of concrete increased due to better particle packing by the inclusion of fly ash as a partial replacement of sand and cement as compared to control concrete. Also since workability is increased. There is further scope of reduction of water, which will further reduce the required quantity of cement. The results also indicated 13% higher flexural strength by the inclusion of as a partial replacement of sand, as compared to control concrete. The proposed mix design can save up to 103kg. Of cement per cum when compared to the conventional mix design, and resulted in fly ash utilization, to the tune of 298Kg per cum of concrete.

259. Network performance with DDOS attack using IAFV for botnet identification

One of the most dangerous attacks is Denial-of-Service (DoS). It’s a kind of volumetric attack. Proposed a framework to evaluate the network’s performance under this attack with various network parameters. Among all the network attacks, the Distributed Denial of service (DDoS) attack is easier to carry out, more harmful, hard to be traced and difficult to prevent. So, this threat is more serious. The DDoS attack makes use of many different sources to send a lot of useless packets to the target in a short time, which will consume the target’s resource and make the target’s service unavailable. The bots may be either themselves malicious users that have been preliminarily infected (e.g., worms and /or Trojans). In order to quantify the botnet learning ability in this work, Emulation Dictionary Rate (EDR) is introduced. Implemented a novel detecting algorithm for DDoS attacks based on IP Address Features Value (IAFV) to read the characteristics of the network based on time delay, throughput and packet delivery ratio. In the proposed system, a hybrid algorithm for botnet identification is implemented to analyze the network performance at the time of attack. Numerous relevant parameters including throughput, time delay and packet delivery ratio are evaluated. Using IAFV time series to describe the state change features of network flow and detecting DDoS attack is equivalent to classifying IAFV time series virtually. It has Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to get the optimal solution based on the existing information under the condition that the sample size tends to be infinite or be limited.
