Acquisition, management, and delivery of drugs
The need for drug delivery is very critical especially in populous countries like India. Medication management plays an important part is ascertaining if the people in a country have access to the basics needs of healthcare. The system proposed in this paper would provide for medication management which includes acquirement of medications, management, and delivery of the drugs to the patients. This system would remove the need for going to the medical stores and reduces the unavailability of drugs for use. A composition of various technologies such as Big Data, Business Intelligence and Networking help in providing a solution to this problem. The proposed system in this paper addresses this need for medication management. The proposed system is expected to reduce the stress on traffic snarls as well in the cities in which it is implemented.

Optimization of turning process parameters for surface roughness in dry and wet condition of AISI 1045 steel using Taguchi method
The main purpose of today’s manufacturing industries is to produce low cost, high-quality products in short time. They mainly focused on achieving high quality, in term of part accuracy, surface finish, high production rate etc. So, the selection of optimal cutting parameters is a very important issue for every machining process in order to reduce the machining costs and increase the quality of machining products. In this paper, the cutting of AISI 1045 steel material under the wet and dry condition is carried out using CNC lathe machine. Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout. The effect of cutting condition (spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on surface roughness were studied and analyzed. The CNC turning machine is used to conduct experiments based on the Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) with the orthogonal L9 array. Optimal cutting parameters for each performance measure were obtained employing Taguchi techniques. The orthogonal array, signal to noise ratio and analysis of variance were employed to find minimum surface roughness. Optimum results are finally verified with the help of confirmation experiments.

A review of holographic optical elements in solar concentrator applications
Photovoltaic cells are used to convert sunlight into electricity; the commercial photovoltaic cells made up of silicon but the main drawback of the solar cells is low conversion efficiency. In order to improve conversion efficiency generally mirrors and lens system is used as conventional solar concentrators, in the fact they have some drawback of bulky in nature, high installation cost, need the tracking system to face the sun, and also concentrating both light and heat on the solar cell. To overcome these problems holographic solar concentrators were used as solar concentrators. Holography is one of the very promising technologies to produce solar concentrators; mostly volume phase holograms are used as holographic solar concentrators. The holographic solar concentrators have some major advantages of lightweight, cool light concentration, and selective wavelength concentrations for wavelength dependable solar cells. In this paper, a brief review and basic study of holographic solar concentrators have been discussed. The key contributions of each work examined here and different technologies also discussed. This review is useful to study about basic foundations and create new ideas for future research work.

Gait analysis: Approaches and applications
Gait analysis is systematic quantification and evaluation of human walking. It has applications in the field of clinical sciences, video surveillance, rehabilitation therapies, etc. Various state-of-the-science, as well as traditional approaches, have been used for evaluating the gait cycle. This narrative review provides a brief understanding of all such approaches and methods used by scientists and clinicians in India. State-of-the-science approaches include marker based systems, wearable or non-wearable, sensors system, support vector machine, etc. Whereas traditional approaches include observational analysis, videography, etc. 3D gait analysis provides reliable data, however, is currently in limited use due to high instrumentation and maintenance costs involved. Indian scientific community can benefit for traditional approaches which are low-cost, reliable, and can be easy to implement in all sort of set-ups with relative ease.

The structural design of the multistorey building
The rapid growth in the rate of construction of multi-storey blocks has been an important feature of the building industry over the past fifteen years. Much of this construction has occurred in areas underlain by the cyclothemic rocks of the Coal Measures. The anisotropic properties of this sequence lead to rapid horizontal and vertical variations in foundation conditions, which must be assessed in selecting the type and depth of foundation and the allowable bearing pressure. Special problems occur in areas which have been undermined by shallow mineral workings. Such sites require special investigations, careful evaluation of the site conditions and the design of appropriate foundations. The desirable approach in many instances is to plan developments on a large scale so that the greatest economic advantage may be taken of the best site conditions. In order to compete in the ever-growing competent market, it is very important for a structural engineer to save time. as a sequel to this, an attempt is made to analyze and design a Multistoried building by using a software package stand pro. For analyzing a multi-storied building one has to consider all the possible loadings and see that the structure is safe against all possible loading conditions. There are several methods for analysis of different frames like Kani's method, cantilever method, portal method, Matrix method.
