Agile approaches in construction project management
The Agile project management approach evolved from the software industry. This process to be vivid and continuously updated. Agile project management provides the project manager with methods, tools, and approaches to aid both the project manager and project client to engage in a more efficient manner. The purpose of this study is to investigate the different stages like, can Agile be implemented in the design phase in the construction industry? What adaptation is required? And how could benefit from utilizing Agile approaches from the traditional way, as well as interviewing with experienced senior, project manager for the identification of possible Agile approaches to reduce risk in construction project management.

Voice Controlled Personal Assistant
The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the implementation of a Voice Command System as an Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) which can perform enormous tasks or services for an individual. These tasks and services are usually based on the user input, location awareness, and the ability to get the information from different online sources (like weather or traffic conditions, news, stock prices, user schedules, retail prices, asking time, traffic, travel assistant, events, notification from social applications and one can ask questions to the model, invoke its machine learning otherwise get it from Wikipedia… etc.). The motive of the work is to evolve an economically effective and efficient virtual personal assistant using Raspberry Pi based on the concepts of the Internet of Things, Speech Recognition, Natural Language Processing, and Artificial Intelligence Raspberry Pi is the important hardware to implement this model which works on the primary input of the user’s voice. Voice is used as an input to convert into text using a speech to text engine. The text thus produced was used for query processing and getting relevant information. After fetching the information, it is then converted to speech using the text to speech conversion and the relevant output to the user is given. Along with it, some extra modules were also implemented which worked on the concept of keyword matching. It can also help the visually impaired to connect with the outside world by giving them access to Wikipedia, Calculator, etc., everything with their voice. This model can also help people secure as it can be used as a surveillance system which captures the image of the person standing at the door and does the similarity checking. It is also used as a source of entertainment and information for visually impaired. This model will interact with other systems by means of IOT, thus provides a fully automated system.

RP-96: Formulation of solutions of a special standard cubic congruence of composite modulus– An integer multiple of power of prime integer
In this paper, a standard cubic congruence of composite modulus - an integer multiple of a power of prime integer, is considered for study and formulation. The author established the formulation of the solutions of the said congruence successfully. It is a bold attempt by the author for the formulation of the congruence. The congruence is not formulated by earlier mathematicians. The established formula is tested and found true. Formulation of the congruence is the merit of the paper.

CFD analysis of diffuser augmented wind turbine
Flanged Diffuser is a collecting-accelerating device that shrouds a turbine. Forgiven rotary engine diameter, the power augmentation may be achieved by a brimmed diffuser, popularly known as wind lens. the current numerical investigation deals with the result of the low region created by wind lens to analyze the sturdy vortices shaped by brim connected to the shrouded diffuser at the exit. additionally, during this analysis, a comparative numerical prediction of mass flow rates the turbine has been allotted with numerous sorts of wind lens that successively helps to optimize the torque augmentation. it's been well-tried that there's an important increase within the vortex strength & wake formation once the brimfull effect is added to a diffuser.

Real time anti-theft vehicle tracking system using GSM and GPS
There is a drastic increase in the number of crimes involving vehicle theft. This can be avoided by using Real-time anti-theft and tracking mechanism using GSM and GPS. In the current scenario, it takes a minimum of two days to find the lost or the stolen vehicle. Vehicle tracking mechanism alerts the owner or the user of the vehicle with the message at the time of theft occurred. Moreover, this mechanism helps to find the location of the theft vehicle by using GSM and GPS at any time and also stores the message by the application in the mobile. Vehicle tracking mechanism helps to prevent and reduce the theft of vehicles. Further, these types of devices are less expensive and also affordable for all vehicle owners. The ability to track vehicles is useful in many applications including the security of personal vehicles, public transportation systems, School buses, and others. Therefore, the development of vehicle tracking system using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) modem is with the aim of enabling users to locate their vehicles with ease and in a useful manner. The system will provide users with the capability to track vehicle remotely through the mobile network.

Risk assessment and safe handling practices while using Asbestos in industries
Asbestos is the name given to a group of mineral fibers that was widely used as a building material prior to 1990s in a variety of products due to excellent strength, insulation, and fire resistant properties. The chrysotile fiber is also known as “White Asbestos” is used in the manufacturing of asbestos cement roof sheets and asbestos fiber cement sheets by implementing the “INDIAN STANDARDS” ( IS 11451, IS 11767, IS 11768, IS 12078, IS 12079, IS 12080). The principal concerns are the development of Asbestosis, Lung cancer, Pleural thickening, and mesothelioma. These concerns can be controlled and prevented at a minimum level.
