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.

Layout Design of 5 Transistor D Flip Flop for Power and Area Reduction and Performance Comparison in Different Scaling Technologies
Due to increase in demand for portable devices low power dissipation is an essential need for device design. Due to advances in low power applications low power digital CMOS has become more important, and the process technology has been advanced. In this paper, an SET D flip-flop with 5 transistors is proposed. This D flip-flop has been implemented using different scaling technologies such as 180 nm, 90 nm, 70 nm and 50 nm. Both power dissipation as well as area has been compared. The layout of the 5 transistor D FF is designed. It has been observed from simulation result that the fully custom design has shown 39% reduction in area and 37% reduction in power as compared to fully automatic design. This design technique achieves lowest power consumption with reduced transistor count. It can be used in applications like buffers, registers, digital clocks etc.

Design of Low Voltage two Stage CMOS Operational Amplifier
The method that presented in this paper is to design a low voltage CMOS operational amplifier, which operates at the ±1V power supply. Due to this, the demand for low voltage silicon chip systems has been increased. The supply voltage is scaled down to reduce the overall power consumption of the system. The objective of this project is to design a low voltage CMOS operational amplifier. The designed OP-AMP is a two-stage CMOS OP-AMP which exhibits a gain of 59.50 dB, the phase margin of 79.431 and unity gain bandwidth is 7.717 KHz. Design and Simulation have been carried out in LT Spice tools.

To Design and Develop Intelligent Exercise System
As the population increases day by day, the pollution and chances of traumas are increases. The health monitoring is also important to make physically strong. A load of physiotherapist is increased which result in poor performance of the patient exercise. The system is developed which increases the efficiency of a physiotherapist. Kinet based exercise system is developed which monitor and assign an exercise to the person. In defensive and rehabilitative healthcare, physical exercises are powerful involvement. However, a program may need in the range of thousands of practice repetitions, and many people do not adhere to the program making the exercise futile, or even dangerous. In recent years, applications developed based on Kinet are getting admired since human poses can be more easily estimated based on the sensed RGB-D information. There is no accurateness of doing free-hand exercise prescribed by physiotherapy Doctor. On the other, doing exercise is not that much interesting to do alone.

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.

Adsorption Potential of BF Slag and BF Flue Dust towards Removal of Aqueous Phenol
The present work focuses the removal of phenol present in industrial wastewater (Steel Industry) using granulated BF slag and BF flue dust (generated as waste material in the steel industry). Several kinds of solid waste like granulated BF slag and BF flue dust and liquid toxic effluents are generated at different units process of integrated iron and steel plants. The study will help us to assess self-adsorption characteristics in plant generated solid water Vs in plant toxic effluents. In the study shows that granulated BF slag and BF flue dust are efficient adsorbents for the removal of phenol from the industrial wastewater.
