Analysis of G+4 Building with or without inclined member (Haunch) for supporting floating column

In today’s world the needs of people are changing very rapidly. As a result requirement for more space for parking areas, lobbies are increasing day by day, hence nowadays the floating columns are introduced in the buildings, but providing floating column is not safe as per the design is concerned, hence to support the floating column an inclined member named as haunch is provided to support the floating column and make the building more stable. This project deals with the comparative study of the analysis of multi-storied buildings with and without haunch provided at different positions, thereby aims at providing a safe position of haunch in a building. The equivalent static analysis is carried out on the school building of G+4 stories using STAAD PRO V8i software and a comparison of these models is carried out.

Application of RSM to optimize performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled with Karanja methyl ester and its blends with conventional diesel oil

An experimental investigation was done on a variable compression ratio diesel engine fuelled with blends of Karanja oil methyl ester (B100) and conventional diesel oil (B00) in the proportion of 20:80 (B20), 30:70 (B30), and 40:60 (B40). The performance and emission tests were carried out on diesel engines for three input parameters and six out parameters. The load, compression ratio (CR), and biodiesel blends are used as input operating parameters. The output parameters are brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTHE), and emissions like Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen oxides (NOX) and Carbon dioxide (CO2). To find the optimal response, a set of experiments was conducted using the design of experiments suggested by Response surface methodology. Design Expert-10 was used to get the set of experiments for optimization. The predicted maximum BTHE (23.21%) and experimental maximum BTHE (23.27 %) were obtained at the optimal operating parameters of load 8 kg, CR 14, blend B20. The predicted minimum BSFC (0.37kg/kWh) and experimental minimum BSFC (0.37 kg/kWh) were obtained at the optimal operating parameters of load 8 kg, CR 14, blend B20. The predicted minimum CO2 (2.64%) and experimental minimum CO2 (2.54%) were obtained at the optimal operating parameters of load 2.63 kg, CR 15, blend B30. The predicted minimum HC (16.68ppm) and experimental minimum HC (16ppm) were obtained at the optimal operating parameters of load 4 kg, CR 16, blend B20. The predicted minimum CO (0.065%) and experimental minimum HC (0.059%) were obtained at the optimal operating parameters of load 8 kg, CR 16, blend B40. The predicted minimum NOx (168ppm) and experimental minimum NOx (131.03ppm) were obtained at the optimal operating parameters of load 2.63 kg, CR 15, blend B30. It is found that the predicted and the experimental results were almost the same.

Application of the enhanced single face photo as a novel screening tool for diagnosis of dengue infection and influenza

The invisible facial flushing in dengue infection and influenza can be detected and visible by the Manote and Matinun (M&M) technique using PC program and smartphone app. The unique patterns of facial flushing provide a clue to the diagnosis of dengue infection and influenza. To analyze the facial flushing areas in dengue infection and influenza compared with other causes from the single face photo by smartphone camera app and apply the enhanced single face photo as a novel screening tool for diagnosis of dengue infection and influenza. The patients with acute febrile illness were classified into 4 groups of different underlying causes as other causes, dengue, influenza A and influenza B respectively. The single face photo was enhanced with the Rock Art Enhancer app using for Android smartphone in 3 steps modified from the Manote and Matinun technique and further analyzed with the ImageJ program with Color Inspector 3D plugin. The patterns of the facial flushing areas were differentiated into 3 categories, as no facial flushing, localized facial flushing and generalized facial flushing. The analysis of the facial flushing areas was calculated in percents of primary and secondary facial flushing areas (1 FFA and 2 FFA). The sensitivity or "true positive rate" of 3 steps modified Manote and Matinun technique for all tests in dengue, influenza A and influenza B group is 96.8% (94.2% for all patients). The 97.8% of dengue group tests (94.7% for of dengue patients) could be detected the facial flushing either localized or generalized pattern. The upper cut-off points that helps distinguish from neither dengue nor influenza to either dengue or influenza is approximately 20% and 9% in the primary facial flushing areas (1 FFA) and the secondary facial flushing areas (2 FFA) respectively. Although the generalized facial flushing patterns were found in dengue (66.7%) more than in influenza (50%), but we could not distinguish between dengue and influenza, depending on two different patterns of facial flushing (no statistically significant differences, P = 0.09). The enhanced single face photo with 3 steps modified Manote & Matinun technique is useful as a novel screening tool to distinguish other causes of acute febrile illness from both dengue infection and influenza. The upper cut-off points in both primary facial flushing areas (1 FFA) and the secondary facial flushing areas (2 FFA) help for the recognition and diagnosis either dengue infection or influenza. Because it is useful and effective as well as economical and available so it should be suitable for a novel screening tool in the diagnosis of dengue infection and influenza, including for the application of telemedicine in the future.

Talking Hand Gloves

The paper describes an aiding device for the dumb and physically challenged people. Such people are made to wear gloves fitted with flex sensors and tactile switches whose resistance changes with each gesture shown by them. This produces a voltage change and given to the micro-controller which will send the sign language codes corresponding to each gesture to the android app and then sounds the code of sign which is given by hand via the speaker.

GSM based detection system for home security

The research paper explores the perception of safety and security. The aim of this project development is to reduce the incident at home. In this model, we present the design and implementation of a home security system by using a global system for mobile communication modem (GSM). As the system senses/detects any parameter such as gas leakage, high temperature at home. It will respond and do alert to the homeowner. It also detects the intrusion by using of IR sensor placed at the entry point. All these sensors are associated with microcontroller ATmega328 which will produce output in case of tragedies. The GSM and microcontroller communicate through the USART protocol with the desired baud rate of 9600bps. In case of emergency, the system generates an alert message that can be transmitted to homeowners' service number which we have fed into the system. The idea behind this project is to provide a simple, affordable, fast, effective, and reliable way to get help in case of emergency situations.

Numerical investigation of a modified NACA-0018 Airfoil using Bumpy Profile at Low Reynolds Number

Flow separation is one of the major problems affecting the performance of all airfoils under a high angle of attack. Several passive flow mechanisms have been investigated to limit this phenomenon and improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the airfoil by increasing the lift force while decreasing the drag force associated with it. This study investigates the application of surface bumps over both the suction and pressure sides of the NACA-0018 airfoil at low Reynolds number of 500,000. The bump shapes resemble the shape of the Hawk which does not show a smooth profile in nature. The bumps are introduced in the form of sine waves with different amplitudes and periods. Bumps on each side have been investigated separately, the optimum amplitude and period are determined, the two optimum parameters were joined together forming a new airfoil shape. It was found that this approach limits separation at the stall angle and reduces the drag force as a result of the bumps on the suction side. The bumps on the pressure side were found to enhance the lift force as high-pressure spots are formed, which increases the differential pressure. Glide ratio improvement of 17% was reached using the modified airfoil.
