FPGA Implementation of Built In Self Repair Technique for Hard & Soft Errors in Memories

Anything that changes the normal operation can be defined as an error in a memory. They can be of two types: - Soft errors & Hard errors. Soft errors are caused by external elements (such as radiation environments, electrical noises etc.) outside of the designer's control. Hard errors are mainly due to manufacturing defects or due to unknown sources. Since an error in the memory can affect the whole system, error detection & correction techniques are important. Our objective is to detect and correct errors in offline stage and in field usage. During offline test stage, BIST (Built in Self-Test) module will check for the errors in the entire memory. If any fault is detected, SEC-DED (Single Error Correction Double Error Detection) module will be initiated to correct one error. If there exits more than one error, reconfiguration module will remap the faulty cells with the spare memory cells. During the field usage, if any error occurs, the controller will categorize the errors to three types and apply different techniques to correct them. The whole system is implemented in FPGA and simulation results are noted.

Utilization of Demolished Brick & Marble Waste in Concrete for Partial Replacement Of Coarse Aggregate

The demand of construction material is increasing every day. Concrete is widely used in construction. In this research waste Brick & Marble is used as coarse aggregate produced from demolition of building which is waste material. We can use this waste material as coarse aggregate. Waste Brick and marble are vary economic as compared to natural aggregate & reduce the waste generated by demolition of building. This study aimed to investigate the suitability of using brick ballast and marble waste in concrete. Three replacement levels 10%, 20% and 30%, were compared with the conventional concrete. The tests on concrete showed that the mechanical properties (compressive and splitting tensile strengths) of concrete containing waste brick ballast and marble ballast were well comparable to those of the concrete without brick ballast. The production of normal aggregates and building stones through quarrying is an expensive process. Quarrying involves deep excavation and blasting of rocks. This has created an unpleasant environment by leaving scars on land. Brick ballast and marble waste products chips when crushed to the required nominal sizes such as 10mm, 14mm, 20mm, etc. provide a rough and irregular surface which aids in bonding of cement paste and the aggregate. Therefore the bond strength of concrete is likely to be increased when these aggregates are used. Careful consideration of the water absorption of brick ballast aggregates will be taken in the mix design to ensure that the workability of the mix is achieved.

Emerging Issues and Challenges in Banking and Financial Services on Indian Economy- Post Demonetization

The Government of India announced the demonetization of all Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 paper money of the Mahatma Gandhi Series On 8 November 2016,. The government claim that the action would stop the shadow (process of people making, selling, and buying things) and crack down on the use of illegal and (make fake money or goods) cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism. The sudden nature of the announcement and the lengthy cash shortages in the weeks that followed has created noteworthy disruption throughout the (process of people making, selling, and buying things), threatening money-based output. The move was heavily criticized as poorly planned and unfair, and was met with protests, lawsuits, and strikes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the changes that are happening in Indian Banking and related to managing money part/area as a hit/effect of demonetization. In trying to (ask lots of questions about/try to find the truth about) factors which may account for never-before-seen change, this study raises the pro's and con's of currency demonetization in different (related to managing money) Banking parts/areas. Data were collected through surveys that were mailed out to no. of people (who were part of a study, etc.) in Hyderabad. People (who were part of a study, etc.) in the study completed the survey (without revealing his/her name) and filled out a separate permission-related form. People who responded have appointments in a variety of departments, including Banking, Finance, Capital markets and Insurance parts/areas. People who responded were from variety of (related to managing money) Institutions from both private and public institutions, the majority being research oriented. To protect the (not knowing or telling someone's name) of the people who responded, we are not capable to list the institutions here or to further identify them. Secondary Data is collected from Internet and Newspapers. With the centre's decision to throw out/cancel old currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 on November 8, 2016, the (related to managing money) part/area is now supporting structure itself to deal with the move's hit/effect. Experts say that it is a good move as it will bring more formal money in the (related to managing money) part/area.

Current Trends in Follow up Procedures with MOH for the Registration of the Pharmaceutical Products

Regulatory Authorities in both developed and developing countries share the responsibility of ensuring the access of safe and effective medicines to patients. For better treatment safety and efficacy for the drugs must be justified and rationalize for public security. The quality, safety, efficacy data has its own importance in the registration dossier. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Common Technical Document (CTD) can serve as a resource for most local Marketing Authorization (MA) applications. Additionally a significant amount of mandatory and highly country specific documentation require strategic planning and allocation for successful and timely local approvals. Regulatory involvement in the drug approval process which directly/indirectly accelerated the launching of drug into market. The regulatory documents whether in-house of documents to be submitted to regulatory authorities should be carefully reviewed by the skilled personal to minimize raised by the regulatory agencies and speed up the approval process.

Current Trends in Regulatory Authority Actions against Misbranded and Adulterated Drugs

Globally every country is the victim of misbranded or adulterated drugs, which result in life threatening issues, financial loss of consumer and manufacturer and loss in trust on health system. For minimizing adulterated and misbranding drugs or not of standard quality drugs, there is urgent requirement of more stringent regulation and legal action against the problem. The adulteration and substitution of crude drug is a burning problem. substitution is helpful in places where unavailability of particular crude drug and or unwanted adverse effects of desired crude drug are there and have a choice of other drug with similar pharmacological effect and less unwanted after effects. But in most cases, it is unacceptable because the conversion of authentic drug into substandard drug may cause variety of adverse effects from mild and moderate to severe life threatening reactions. So, understanding of all the ways of adulteration and substitution is necessary to rectify this illegal act and maximizing consumers' safety. However, India has taken some preventive steps in the country to fight against the poor quality of regulatory organization drugs for protecting and promoting the public health.

Averaging Representation of Standard Face Images and Recognition by KPCA and GFMTAveraging Representation of Standard Face Images and Recognition by KPCA and GFMT

Face recognition has received substantial attention from both research communities and the market, but still remained very challenging in real-time applications. This texture mapping of the face images to be morphed to a standard shape. Triangulation of face images with face key points image-averaging technique to derive abstract representations of known faces. This standard shape improves the probability of recognition of faces. Glasgow Face Matching Test (GFMT) and Kernel PCA on image averages appear to preserve face information. Thus the approach with KPCA and GFMT has improvement in efficiency with constraints.
