Quality improvised of bituminous mix by natural fiber
Increase in traffic load in terms of numbers of axles and high pressure from heavy vehicles resulted into traffic related pavement distresses. Modified asphalt binder is one of the approaches to improve pavement performance. Natural fibers have become a research focus for scientist & engineering. Type of natural fibers, their surface treatment & reinforcement of asphalt concrete with natural fibers are presented. Generally the review demonstrated an improvement in the fatigue life & structural resistance to distress occurring in pavement when modified. Generally a bituminous mixture is a mixture of course aggregate, fine aggregate, filler & binder. A hot Mix Asphalt is a bituminous mixture where all constituents are mixed, placed & compacted at high temperature. HMA can be Dense Grade Bitumen (DGM) known as Bituminous Concrete (BC) or gap graded known as Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). SMA requires stabilizing additives composed of cellulose fiber to prevent drain down of the mix. In the present study an attempt has been made to study the effects of use of a natural fiber (SISAL FIBRE as stabilizer in SMA) & as an additive in BC.For preparation of the mixes aggregate gradation has been taken as per Morth Specification, binder content, has been varied regularly from 4% to 7% & fire content varied from 0% to maximum 0.5% of total mix. Then the BC [&SMA] mixes prepared are subjected different performance test like Drain down Test, Static Indirect Tensile strength & Static creep test to evaluate the effects of fiber additions on mix performance.

A regular and improved representation for signed digit constant vector multiplication
A novel improved signed digit representation procedure is proposed to overcome the two fundamental disadvantages of the current multiplier-free techniques: 1) circuit inconsistency and 2) computational redundancy. The fundamental difference between the existing multiplier free strategies and the proposed method could be a novel optimization framework based on vector decomposition. The constant vector is decomposed into two terms: a “private” matrix and a “public” vector which consist of the private operations of each individual entry and public operations shared by all of the entries, the overall data flow can be separated into two regular steps: first multiplied by the “public” vector and then by the “private” matrix. The computational complexity lessening task is then accomplished by minimizing the number of operations within the “private” matrix and the length of the “public” vector. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed strategy outflanks the existing multiplier free strategies in fewer operations and more regular circuit structure.

Effectiveness and classification of parallel architecture
In this paper we discuss the classification and advantages of parallel architecture with examples, indeed research and development of parallel architecture is a continuing effort and it is accordingly expected that various forms of parallel architecture will emerge, but each type of parallel processor has its own advantages, disadvantages, and classifications. This paper will give a brief introduction to the effectiveness and classifications of parallel architecture over traditional architecture.

Preliminary phytochemical, UV-VIS and FT-IR spectral analysis of Hibiscus micranthus L
The present study was carried out to investigate the active substances present in the Ethanol, Acetone, Chloroform, Petroleum ether extract of Hibiscus micranthus by using the analysis of Phytochemical, UV-VIS and FT-IR studies. Phytochemical screening of successive extracts showed a positive reaction for Alkaloid, Phenols, Glycoside, Saponin, Terpenoids, Tannin, Flavanoids, Glycoside, Anthraquinones. The UV profile showed different peak ranging from 200-1100 nm with different absorption respectively. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed the presence of Alcohol, Carboxylic acid, Alkynes, Aromatic ring, Aliphatic, Amide, Carbolic acid salts, Sulfonic chlorides, Hydrocarbons, Organophosphorus compounds which shows major peak at 3419.61, 2976.17, 2926.23, 2902.86, 2127.79, 1925.03, 1624.85, 1642.85, 1452.18,1406.40, 1394.41, 1383.80, 1230.42, 1077.03, 1252.22, 1048.99, 880.27, 671.52, 436.58 respectively. v

CarTubes – The sustainable transportation or a hypothetical idea
The use of latest technologies to curb the menace of traffic congestion and environmental problems like pollution, increase in GHG emissions etc., is in practice in such a way that the outcome results in sustainable transportation. One such idea is CarTube. This review paper is about how CarTube can help in the decrease of traffic problems and make long distance travels speedy and less costly. This article also puts light on the facts that why this particular concept is said to be hypothetical and mythical by some experts. This paper will help budding engineers and transportation planners to get familiar with the concept of how successful or unsuccessful the CarTubes would be, with all the reasons.
