An experimental study to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding weaning diet among mothers of under five in the selected village of district Gurdaspur
Weaning is a systematic process of introduction of suitable food at the right time, in addition to mothers’ milk, in order to provide needed nutrients to the baby. If the baby is to maintain the expected rate of growth and remain healthy and well nourished, supplementary feeding has to be resorted to round about the 6th month of life. The present study aimed to assess the knowledge of mothers of under-five regarding weaning diet, the effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding weaning and to find out the association between knowledge with selected demographic variables. The findings of the study revealed that the planned teaching programme was effective in increasing the knowledge level of mothers of under five. There was the significant association between education and monthly income of the family. There was no significant association among age, religion, occupation, living status, type of family, the frequency of meals, and source of information

Bus recognition for the visually impaired person
This paper depicts a transport acknowledgment framework which points to the simplicity of voyaging and development of visually impaired individuals with the guide of sensor organize. For them to travel from one place to another place is a difficult task, so they need the special requirement to travel. The blind person gives the input about his destination using android app. The latitude and longitude of the present location of the blind person will be noted in the microcontroller of a blind unit with the help of GPS antenna. The stored information in the microcontroller of the blind unit is transmitted to bus unit through Zigbee system. Sign made in the transport that visually impaired individuals display in the station. Voice model and APR 9600 audio playback systems are used to update and inform the blind person about the bus arriving and reaching destinations. Audio output is generated by the voice synthesizer. The expected outcome of the project is to obtain an easy navigation system for blind people

Comparative study of near dry and dry EDM process
The electric discharge machining (EDM) is an unconventional machining process. It is extensively used to generate complex profiles on electrically conductive materials having high-temperature resistance and high strength. Due to its wide applicability in manufacturing industries, EDM has become the most popular machining process after conventional machining processes such as turning, milling and drilling, etc. Despite several advantages, EDM process suffers from some limitations such as low material removal rate (MRR), high tool wear rate (TWR) and poor surface integrity in some cases. In past, several attempts have been made to overcome these limitations by augmenting EDM with techniques such as electrode rotation, ultrasonic vibrations and suspensions of powders into the dielectric fluid. Although these techniques are excellent from a research perspective, in practice, are applicable only for fewer applications. Another limitation in EDM process is its possible environmental pollution causing characteristic. During EDM process, material removal is a consequent of thermal energy produced by series of discrete electrical sparks occurring between a tool and work electrodes which are immersed in a dielectric medium mostly hydrocarbon oils. These oils produce serious toxic fumes causing the health hazard to the machine operator and environmental pollution. To overcome these limitations of EDM process, dry and near-dry variants of EDM were introduced. Dry EDM process utilizes a pressurized gaseous medium as a dielectric whereas, near-dry EDM process uses a combination of liquid and gas as a dielectric medium and are environmentally friendly. Near-dry electric discharge machining (EDM) and dry EDM are the process variants of the EDM process. This project reveals comparative study and optimum method between near-dry and dry EDM process to achieve the high material removal rate (MRR) and low tool wear rate (TWR).Two-phase dielectric (liquid and air) was utilized in near-dry EDM while only air was used in dry EDM. L27 orthogonal array was used to determine the effect of the pulse current, voltage, pulse on time, pulse off time and pressure on MRR and TWR in near-dry and dry EDM.

Survey on techno level obstacle sensing using ultrasonic based services
Along with a fast-growing economy of a developing country as far as India is concerned, there has been reported an emerging number of harassment and criminal offenses against disabled women. In many of the cases, the suspects are quite freely escaped due to lack of communication links in time. Our goal is to design an intelligent device which can alert the authorities when any harassment is happening. Our system requires minimum power consumption and least human efforts. Initially, it sends a signal to the nearest traffic control or police station intimating the state of crime along with its location. The processor chosen to be is the Arduino UNO, and the communication to the police control is done using GPS and GSM technology.

Experimental study of fuel consumption and emission characteristics of the medium-duty vehicle
Currently, fuel consumption of the vehicle rising day by day as a result of increased trip lengths, self-mode transportation and the number of an intersection. Transport is a crucial infrastructure for the development and hence vehicular growth closely follows the trend of urbanization. Several international study and multinational institutions worldwide progress in decarbonizing transport emission from economic growth. When the vehicle waiting for the turn to cross the intersection at the signal, most of the drivers keep the engine off of their vehicle and result in large emission and fuel consumption. This small quantity of fuel worn out aggregated over a number of cycles per day number of the cycle per year and number of intersection result in the massive quantity of fuel. Measuring delay is important in computing the level of service provides to road user at a signal intersection. In India mainly two methods were used to estimate control delay those are field measurement and the artificial measurement. Field measurement of control delay includes the use of test car observation, path tracing of individual vehicles and the recording of arrival and departure volume of the intersection but this expensive for long period. An analytical model of traffic system structure deals with the macroscopic method to study delay measurement. In this paper, the comparison of the actual idling fuel use and emissions with those for restarting by following the ECE-15 cycle and EUDC cycle has been done. This work gives the answer of the question that is how long can you idle in a queue before impacts from idling are greater than they are restarting by considering both the fuel use and emission. This work represents the emission and fuel use are greater for idling over 13 seconds. And also found that the best fuel economy speed is 60 km/hr because the fuel consumption and instantaneous emissions are minimum at 60 km/hr speed.
