Simulation and implementation of FPGA based image processing algorithm
Image preprocessing system is growing towards high speed, high-resolution, high integration, and high-reliability. Image processing systems are widely applied in military and commercial areas. Subsequently, In the military fields the detection of objects based on image processing technology has become a major research topic its interference immunity and noncontact and concealment objects detection New technology has been enhanced in the world due to the increase in new image processing technology. In the commercial sector, it is widely used in machine vision and industrial detection systems. In general, there are 3 types of image processing systems to implement digital image processing algorithms and each system's main chips are ASIC (Application specific integrated circuit), DSP (Digital Signal Process Chip) and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array. In this article, we have designed an FPGA-based image processing system. This system can digitize the data stream from the camera and then digitize it, converting digital signals to analog signals. In recent years, microelectronic technology and large scale integrated circuit manufacturing technology development, specifically FPGA, provide new ideas and methods to improve the performance of the image processing system hence it has more advantages compared to ASIC and it has a great demand in the market. Due to large-amount data and fast-processing speed-required for low-level speed image preprocessing, FPGA based image processing system is well-used in image preprocessing. Results show that FPGA-based image processing is suitable for image preprocessing. System simulation is performed using Xilinx ISE design Suite 14.1. The system is implemented using the Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX45 FPGA with Verilog Hardware Description Language.

Analysis on effect of ball burnishing processes of EN24 Steel
In the quality assurance of machine components, the so-called finishing and super finishing processes have important roles. During recent years, the post-machining cold forming methods such as burnishing, shot peening and others have occupied a very important place in the industry. Burnishing, which is one of the effective methods used to improve the surface layer properties, is essentially a cold forming process in which the raised micro-irregularities on the surface layer are plastically moved and pressed into the microcavities. The process is carried out with a highly polished ball or roller type tool which is traversed by force over a rotating workpiece. Machines normally used for burnishing operation can be drill presses, lathes, boring machines, and automatic bar or chucking machines. The process of burnishing can be done on parts which are turned, bored, reamed or ground. Any ductile or malleable material with hardness less than 40 HRC can be successfully burnished. Although diamond burnishing machines are available for finishing material harder than 40 HR. the burnishing process is used to improve the shape of components besides producing a good surface finish. Quite the opposite, the burnishing tool will not correct deviations from roundness or Straightness to any degree. In this work, an attempt is made to compare the results of ball burnishing (in abrasive paste conditions). The parameters taken into consideration are burnishing speed, burnishing feed, burnishing force, ball material and number of passes. Mathematical models have been developed in terms of surface roughness and surface hardness for ball burnishing process.

Assess the emotional quotient among B.Sc. nursing second-year students in selected nursing college in Indore (M.P)
New concepts such as emotional intelligence have become more widely understood; more educators are realizing that cognitive ability is not the sole or critical determinant of young people’s aptitude to flourish in today’s society. Proficiency in emotional management, conflict resolution, communication and interpersonal skills is essential for children to develop inner self-security and become able to effectively deal with the pressure and obstacles that will inevitably arise in their lives. (1) Aims: To assess the Emotional Quotient among B.sc nursing second-year students in selected nursing college in Indore (M.P).

Role of oral mucosal melanin-from birth to adulthood in primary preference. Antibacterial, antifungal and antibiofilm but not anti-inflammatory activity
Human tissues containing melanocytes secreting melanin pigments contributes a low-level protection of the skin and hair follicles against many factors, but in oral mucosa, the melanin levels and functions vary with a microbial environment which is an unknown mechanism and its role is still not fully understood, especially defense against the oral pathogens in the mucosa. This study addresses a possible role of melanin has a multifunctional activity to protect the gingiva during child to adult age by exploring, the mechanism of interaction with oral bacteria, fungus, biofilm-forming bacteria and inflammatory cox-2 proteins using in-silico analysis. Our results showed, human oral mucosa containing melanin act as a antagonist against DHPS containing E.coli and S.aureus (antibacterial), ScNMT in S.cerevisae (antifungal), quorum sensing P.aeruginosa containing LasA (antibiofilm property), except human COX-2 not showed an anti-inflammatory activity and the binding energies for melanin with DHPS of E.coli and S.aureus (-8.9 and -7.1 kcal/mol) respectively, melanin with ScNMT (-8.0 kcal/mol), P.aeruginosa (LasA) (-8.3 kcal/mol) and Cycloxygenase-2 with melanin (-10.3 kcal/mol). We explored the importance of oral mucosa containing melanin with broad-spectrum activity against oral pathogen with no anti-inflammatory activity based on the route of transmission, the oral pathogens select for their survival in the gingiva and tooth during the different stage ages of humans.

Applying machine learning in video monitoring of cattle
Monitoring cattle behavior by using latest technologies such as GPS or Video camera is beneficial in understanding the behavioral patterns such as mating habits and early detection of diseases. The need for technologically assisted means becomes more important when a number of cattle become large. Commercial cow dairies, beef farms, sheep and goat farms etc normally have thousands of animals to be economically viable. Considering the volume of cattle and non-availability of sufficiently cheap trained labor to monitor the animals, often results into late detection of disease, which it might result into spreading of them in a larger cattle population, this might cause a large amount of cattle deaths or huge expenses on controlling the disease. I suggest a system for cattle behavioral monitoring by using multiple video cameras in whole grazing area and in animal sheds, where farm animals can be continuously monitored. I also suggest a low-intensity laser pointing system coupled with a monitoring system to easily and quickly identify the animals requiring attention.

Consequences of indoor air quality on women health
Women are an integral part of the society and the most valuable gift of nature for a family. If she falls ill every one of the family is badly affected and the output of the family to the society gets at stake. Indoor pollutants could be significant public health risks. People in modern societies especially women spend most of their time in the indoor environment. In spite of the evidence of harm to human health, poor indoor environments are generally posed more risk to women health. There are huge numbers of indoor atmospheric pollutants. Combustion sources, heating and cooling system, building materials, volatile organic compounds, noisy home appliances, moulds, and dampness etc. are main sources of indoor air pollution. Identification of a source of physical, chemical, biological or radiative pollutants which have harmful health effects, and improvement of such harmful environmental conditions should be undertaken on priority for the sake of the health of women. Ensuring safe indoor air to our women will be a great contribution to the output of a family and thereby the output of society and nation directly or indirectly.
