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

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

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

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

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