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.

Efficient and effective keyword search over encrypted data in cloud
Searchable Encryption (SE) systems provide cloud information with safety and privacy. The current SE methods allow multiple users to search using various systems such as Broadcast Encryption (BE), Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE), etc. These systems, however, do not allow various users to conduct the search procedure over various owners ' encrypted information. Some SE systems require a Proxy Server (PS) that allows various users to search. However, these approaches incur a huge computational burden on PS due to the repeated encryption of the user queries for transformation purpose to ensure that users’ query is searchable over the encrypted data of multiple owners. Therefore, this project recommends a safe proxy server strategy to eliminate this computational burden on PS that conducts the search procedure without transforming user queries. This method also returns appropriate top-k records to user queries using a similarity method to Euclidean distance. This strategy is effective in terms of search time and precision based on the experimental study. This scheme does not allow making search operations over the data owned by multiple owners that is do not supports search operations in multiple owners and multiple user environments. So we proposed in this project half encryption-based multi-user keyword search over encrypted cloud data. In this project, the data owner creates an index for each document. It encrypts the document collection and sends the encrypted documents over to the cloud server. The words in the indices are partially encrypted with the owner’s secret key and then these indices are sent to the proxy server. This project we have proposed two algorithms IBE algorithm to perform the Encryption. Top Rank, the files, and another algorithm is the TF/IDF algorithm which calculates the term frequency of each keyword.

Evaluating factors responsible for inconsistencies in mobile devices digital forensic evidence extraction process model
The proliferation of mobile devices has revolutionized life in the 21st century ranging from the way people socialize to the modes of doing business. Mobile devices contain substantial amounts of private data that in event of crime or security investigations when adduced before any court of law can aid in resolving a number of undetermined causes. However, mobile digital forensics research is still faced with several challenges. Most existing mobile devices digital forensic evidence extraction models are vendor-specific and thus anchored on specific device platforms such as Android, Windows, Apple iOS, and Blackberry. Additionally, these models contain various process inconsistencies and lack specified technical documentation. Further, the growing demand for the mobile devices and crime-related occurrences affecting them has strained and exposed the existing models. A number of questions thus remain unanswered into the factors responsible for these inconsistencies and the lack of a unified model that can be applied across these four operating system platforms. A mixed-method approach involving a survey was used in this study where respondents were drawn from ICT practitioners, law enforcement agencies, researchers and the business community. This study highlights several factors that contribute to digital evidence extraction process model inconsistencies which include policy, extraction methods, nature of data, device type, data type, and extraction tools among others. The study proposes systematic documentation of every step followed during evidence extraction from mobile devices so as to avert the inconsistencies.

Water budgeting and its importance
Water is the physical basis of life. Without sufficient water on the planet earth, the existence of biodiversity is highly impossible. “A water budget is a basic tool that can be used to evaluate the occurrence and movement of water through the natural environment”. India entered the water deficit nations league in 2011. We have an annual financial budget with the estimations of income and expenditure. In the same way, the state water budget is to enable and empower the states to ensure that annual water withdrawals are within the limits of utilizable availability. State Water Budgeting empowers the State Government in achieving Water Security, Safety and Sustainability. The primary stakeholder in the water budgeting exercise is the “Farmer”. This exercise helps the farmer become aware of the water availability at the watershed/village level and make an appropriate agricultural plan. The Crop Water Budgeting (CWB) tool has been developed to assist communities in how to utilize surface and groundwater efficiently without causing further depletion of present resources. The most important advance in modern agriculture is the invention of the drip-irrigation system. Drip method of irrigation (DMI) was introduced in India during the mid-1980s primarily to save water. Now Israel is the world’s leader in farming and irrigation practices. India should learn lessons from Israel by adopting its success story. India is facing a severe water crisis and drought with an increasing population at an alarming rate. So there is an urgent need to establish water recycling units, desalination plants to irrigate agricultural lands and to maintain moisture in barren lands by irrigating them with recycled water and followed by massive introduction of micro-irrigation techniques.

Comparative study on the effects of using natural sand and manufactured sand for the production of C-25 concrete
Manufactured sand is a term used for aggregate materials less than 4.75mm and which are processed from crushed rock or gravel. Due to the booming of construction activities in our country, natural sand resources are increasingly depleted and its cost is becoming increasingly high. This research was, therefore, conducted to study the Effects of Using Natural Sand and Manufactured Sand for The Production Of C-25 Concrete and to assess the prospects of using manufactured sand as a replacement of natural sand in Ethiopia. Initially, different natural and manufactured sand samples to be used in the concrete mixes were collected and their physical properties were studied. Fifteen different concrete mixes having five mix proportions for both natural and manufactured sand (i.e. 100%NS+ 0%MS; 75%NS+25%MS; 50%NS+50%MS; 25%NS+75%MS and 0%Ns+100%MS) were prepared for C-25 Concrete strength using EBCS mix design procedure. The properties of these mixes have then been assessed both at the fresh and hardened state. The using of manufactured sand as a fine aggregate has a significant effect on the workability and finishing ability of the concrete, also, the results of hardened properties of the mixes have shown that concrete mixes with partial proportions of manufactured and natural sand achieved a higher compressive strength at all test ages. The result also has shown that using manufactured sand in partial or full replacement to natural sand doesn’t cause any significant effect on the compressive strength of concrete. It has been found also that the use of manufactured sand is more suitable for high strength concrete production. It can, therefore, be concluded from the findings of this research that when the availability of natural sand is scarce or in cities where the price of natural sand is as expensive as manufactured one, manufactured sand concrete mix is a viable and better alternative to the use of natural sand.
