Status and prerequisite of English proficiency for engineers- An update
Communication is the universal attribute in human beings, its first trait being the exchange of information within. Language is the most common means of communication. The commanding status of English as a global language cannot be denied. English is the most frequently and extensively used language for business communication worldwide. A maximum part of the important content of the internet is in English though it facilitates translation options. A large part of important books pertaining to various disciplines, particularly science and technology are primarily published in English. In the engineering context, the professional world today essentiates the technocrats to be proficient in English. The last two decades have been the decades of globalization, because of the growing international commerce, financial and technological breakthroughs. The flux of innovations has united the issues or problems making the ones which were local, now becoming global. The technology world faces and is expected to deal with various issues at the global platform like cybercrime, identity theft, E-Banking Fraud, etc. In developing countries with the dominance of vernacular mother tongue, the usage of English is limited in students, this creates a gap in employability skills and hence creates a significant impediment in the hiring process of engineers with satisfactory technical skills. The futuristic technologies per se Artificial intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, cloud computing, augmented and virtual reality, robotics and the like are driving us towards one world. Such a large-scale validation of English language could substantiate positive outcomes of grave issues on a multidimensional global scale and hence could further lead to unity of the world community, a true one world, which we often dream of.

As these products include mica, parabens, triclosan, fluoride and other harmful chemicals that cause skin cancers and other diseases, we have tried to find out a solution to end the usage of such chemical products in an effective way. Here we have prepared daily use personal care products like face powder, lip balm, kajal, soap, and toothpaste using natural ingredients. Ingredients used for preparation of face powder are-cocoa powder, arrowroot powder, cinnamon powder; lip balm-beetroot, vaseline, oil, vitamin E capsule; kajal-cyanthiliumcinereum, castor oil, anjanaston; aloe vera soap-aloe vera, soap base, basil leaves, basil leaf extract, vitamin E capsule, vaseline; toothpaste-coconut oil, baking soda, neem extract, turmeric powder and salt.

The required engineering skills for saudi labor market after automation
This paper aims to explore the required engineering skills in the Saudi labor market before and after automation. For this purpose, data were collected from 230 participants from different engineering sectors with a structured questionnaire. The data were coded and analyzed using SPSS software. The researcher found that the existing labor market skills are teamwork, verbal communication, willingness to learn, understanding, and taking directions for work assignments. Skills required after automation are: computer skills, technical skills, ability to use modern tools and equipment, the ability to design a process to meet desired objectives. The researcher recommends that curriculum reform as part of an automation strategy to improve labor market skills.

Cursor tracking by sensory organs for handicapped people
A vision primarily based Human–Computer interface is conferred during this paper. The utilized image process ways embrace digital camera for investigation the face, and example matching method-based eye region detection. SVM classification methodology is employed for classifying the attention movements. The classification of eye movements like eye open, eye close, eyeball left, and eyeball right movements area unit used for indicator high, bottom, left and right movement severally. The interface relies on a notebook equipped with a typical internet camera and needs no further lightweight sources. All of these devices need manual management and can't be utilized by persons impaired in movement capability. There's a necessity for developing different ways of communication between human and laptop that might be appropriate for the persons with motor impairments and would provide them the chance to become a section of the knowledge Society. In Hough rework, circular methodology is employed to regulate the indicator movements. This technique is employed for physically disabled persons to work with the computers effectively just by their face movements.

Solar powered agricultural dryer
Sun-powered drying of horticultural item is significant and most practical response to the world's nourishment drawback includes decreasing the nourishment misfortune, that happens on account of various reasons like absence of fitting innovation, ill-advised development and treatment, absence of selling channels, ill-advised transportation, high post collect misfortunes, and so on., dispensing a nourishment misfortune from ten to four-hundredth. The nourishment conservation by star drying is that the exclusive method to decrease the nourishment misfortune that is being embraced for a few centuries.(M.V. Ramana Murthy ., 2008). various types of star dryers had been intended to beat this drawback. the kind of drier relies upon the product and subsequently the drying strategy required for that particular style of item. basically the drying strategy includes the relocation of water from within the product to be dried on to the surface for its dissipation and along these lines, it's a warmth and mass exchange improvement (P.Barnwal et al., 2008). The convective warmth move consistent is a significant parameter that decides the glow and mass move. The convective warmth moves steady changes from harvest to edit and in this way the method of drying. just if there should be an occurrence of unpracticed chilies the convective warmth one.31 W/m2 K, (Anwar et al., 2001a,b). the fundamental embodiment of drying is to reduce the wet substance of the product to review that thwarts disintegration among a careful measure of your time. Drying might be a twin strategy for - heat move to the product from the warming stockpile. What's more, mass exchange of wet from within the product to its surface and from the surface to the circling air (O.V Ekechukwu et al1999).

Survey on text-to-speech Kannada using Neural Networks
In this paper, we have explained the different approaches of text-to-speech conversion for Kannada language using Neural Networks. Text-to-speech conversion (TTS) has a wide variety of applications like it serves as an effective aid to the visually impaired by offering a computer-generated spoken voice that would “read” text to the user. TTS can also be used as an interactive educational appliance, as an assistant, etc. The application field of synthetic speech is expanding fast while the quality of the TTS system is also increasing steadily. Text-To-Speech conversion using Neural Networks is found to be more accurate when compared to many other methods like Concatenation, Digital Signal Processing, Articulatory Synthesis, etc. The different approaches of neural networks that we have mentioned in this paper explain its own methodologies, its applications and also its pros and cons.
