Crop Yield Analysis of the Irrigated Areas of All Spatial Locations in Guntur District of APAbstract: Spatial data mining is a process to discover interesting and potentially useful spatial patterns embedded in spatial databases, which are voluminous in their sizes. Efficient techniques for extracting information from geo-spatial data sets can be of importance to various sectors like research, defense and private organizations for generating and managing large geo-spatial data sets. The current approach towards solving spatial data mining problems is to use classical data mining techniques. Effective analysis was done using the hybrid data mining techniques by mixing both clustering and classification techniques. In this paper crop yield of spatial locations of Guntur district were taken and studied using the hybrid technique.Key words: geo-spatial data sets, hybrid data mining technique, clustering, classification, spatial locations Reference [1] PavelBerkhin, Survey of Clustering Data Mining Techniques, Accrue Software, Inc.

Elaboration of Method of Long-Term Culturing and Selection of Enzyme ProducersAbstract: On the basis of the conducted researches on pectin lyase and proteolytic enzyme biosynthesis by Penicillium and Asperaillus micromycetes we have developed efficient methods for their cultivation and selection. We theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed an advantage of growing micromycetes in a new filament-spongy immobilized growth structure on the substrate relative to the traditional method of deep cultivation of free cells in the form of pellets. When comparing a traditional with our innovative method of cultivation, many advantages of the latter are revealed, above all being the possibility of the formation of new highly selective cultures in the long process of their growth with modified culturally - morphological properties.Key words: immobilization, enzymes, cultivation, productivity, selection, pectinas, amylase Reference [1] S.John Pirt Principles of Microbe cell cultivation.

| 5. | A Novel Video Scaling Algorithm Based On Linear Interpolation WithQuality Enhancement
A Novel Video Scaling Algorithm Based On Linear Interpolation WithQuality EnhancementAbstract: A non-adaptive image interpolation algorithm is proposed to scale images for any given scaling factor with an enhancement scheme to ensure a better picture. |In the proposed algorithm, two reference frames, one with higher resolution and another with lower resolution are generated using an original videoframefor the User defined scaling factor. Later, two Intermediate frames are generated from these reference frames using the filtering based re-sampling Lanczos3 kernel. Finally, the desired scaled frame is obtained by linearly interpolating the two intermediate frames.The scaled frame is then passed through an enhancement phase, where a Sharpening Filter is employed, to obtain an enhanced scaled frame. The algorithm compares favorably with other interpolating techniques such as Bilinear Interpolation and B-Spline interpolation in terms of the image quality. The quality of the scaled frames expressed as PSNR is better than 45dB.Key words: Image scaling, Video scaling, Filtering, Sampling, Interpolation Reference [1] T. Lehmann, C. Gonner, and K.

An Investigation of the Ability of Combined Zero – Sequence Cutoff Protection in Line High VoltageAbstract: Zero-sequence cutoff protection has found extensive use in 110-400 kV power networks. Level of value protection settings a starting over-current relay is selected from the requirement of its adjustment out against three zero-sequence current on the end of protected line. Sensitivity of zero-sequence cutoff protection on line is function of equivalent zero-sequence impedance reduction to point bus-bars with disposition protection. Owing to availability of transformers with earthed neutrals at each substation of a 110-400 kV network which are the source of a zero-sequence current, the possibility exists of wide use of zero-sequence cutoffs and stepped zero-sequence protections practically on all lines of medium and large length. From these reasons propose is the use ``cutoff``` protection.Key words: cutoff, substation, simulation, protection, voltage Reference [1] S Bjelic, Z Bogićevic, Computer Simulation of Theoretical Model of Electromagnetic Transient Processes in Power Transformers, International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science, (IJITCS)6, no. 1(2013): 1.

Optimizing The Gate Level Area In Digit Serial FIR Filter Design With An MCM BlocksAbstract: The last two decades have seen many efficient algorithms and architectures for the design of low -complexity bit-parallel Multiple Constant Multiplications (MCM) operation, which dominates the complexity of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems. On the other hand, digit-serial architectures offer alternative low -complexity designs, since digit-serial operators occupy less area and are independent of the data wordlength. This paper introduces the problem of designing a digit-serial MCM operation with minimal area at gate-level and presents the exact formalization of the area optimization problem as a 0-1 Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problem and introduces high level synthesis algorithms, design architectures, and a computer aided design tool. Results and Discussion show the efficiency of the proposed optimization algorithms and of the digit-serial MCM architectures in the design of digit serial MCM operations and finite impulse response filters.Key words: 0-1 Integer linear programming (ILP), digit-serial arithmetic, finite impulse response (FIR) filters, gate level area optimization, multiple constant multiplications.

Automatic Generation Control Using PI Controller with Bacterial Foraging for both Thermal and Hydro PlantsAbstract: The load-frequency control (LFC) is used to restore the balance between load and generation in each control area by means of speed control. In power system, the main goal of load frequency control (LFC) or automatic generation control (AGC) is to maintain the frequency of each area and tie- line power flow within specified tolerance by adjusting the MW outputs of LFC generators so as to accommodate fluctuating load demands. In this paper, attempt is made to make a scheme for automatic generation control within a restructured environment considering effects of contracts between DISCOs and GENCOs to make power system network in normal state where, GENCO used are hydro plants as well as thermal plants. The bacterial foraging optimization technique is being developed, which is applied to AGC in an interconnected four area system.The performance of the system is obtained by MATLAB Simulink tool. The results are shown in frequency and power response for four area AGC system. In this paper we have shown practical work by using thermal and hydro both system at Genco's side.As reheated system transfer function is being used.Key words: Automatic generation control, load frequency control, four area control in power system.

Hand Gesture and Neural Network Based Human Computer InterfaceAbstract: Computer is used by every people either at their work or at home. Our aim is to make computers that can understand human language and can develop a user friendly human computer interfaces (HCI). Human gestures are perceived by vision. The research is for determining human gestures to create an HCI. Coding of these gestures into machine language demands a complex programming algorithm. In this project, We have first detected, recognized and pre-processing the hand gestures by using General Method of recognition. Then We have found the recognized image's properties and using this, mouse movement, click and VLC Media player controlling are done. After that we have done all these functions thing using neural network technique and compared with General recognition method. From this we can conclude that neural network technique is better than General Method of recognition.

Implementation of I2C-DMA & SPI-DMA Interface: A Comparative StudyAbstract: This paper describes the designing and implementation of I2C (master)-DMA and SPI (master)-DMA interface. Direct Memory Access (DMA), being the feature of modern computers and microprocessors permits certain hardware subsystem in a computer machine to access system memory for reading/writing independently of CPU. Sometimes CPU is fully occupied for entire duration of read/write operation and unavailable to perform other work. With DMA, CPU would initiate data transfers and performs other operations while transfer is in progress. For intra-chip serial data transfers, SPI and I2C are used. Both serial protocols are widely used but both have some merits and demerits. In this research work both protocols are interfaced with DMA for SoC (System on Chip) applications and their performance analysis is carried out by implementing on FPGA. VERILOG-HDL is used for designing RTL Code and test-bench verification. Simulations are observed in Modelsim-Altera 6.3 (Quartus II 8.1) simulator.Key words: SPI, I2C, DMA, FPGA, CPU, SoC Reference [1] www. Wikipedia. Com /DMA.

Regression Analysis and Analysis Of Variance for EN353 and20MnCr5 Alloyed Steels for Drilling Cutting ForcesAbstract: In recent years, alloy steels have been widely usedin aerospace and automotive industries. Machining of these materials requires better understanding of cutting processes regarding accuracy and efficiency. This study addresses the modelling of the machinability of EN353 and 20mncr5 materials. In this study, multiple regression analysis (MRA) is used to investigate the influence of some parameters on the thrust force and torque in the drilling processes of alloy steel materials. The model were identified by using cutting speed, feed rate, and depth as input data and the thrust force and torque as the output data. The statistical analysis accompanied with results showed that cutting feed (f) were the most significant parameters on the drilling process, while spindle speed seemed insignificant. Since the spindle speed was insignificant, it directed us to set it either at the highest spindle speed to obtain high material removal rate or at the lowest spindle speed to prolong the tool life depending on the need for the application. The mathematical model is based on a power regression modelling, dependent on the three above mentioned parameters.Reference [1] Badan, I., Oancea, Gh.:Software Tool Used for Holes Modelling in AutoCAD 3rd Environment.

Prediction of Carbon Monoxide Concentration in the Vicinity of Inderprashta Marg, near ITO, Delhi, IndiaAbstract: High concentration of CO may persist in the micro-environment of urban roadways due to the closely spaced high-rise buildings on either side of the roadways causing built up of pollutant. In order to achieve estimates of air quality on both spatial and temporal scales, the use of air quality dispersion modeling becomes more significant. Keeping these in view, the prediction of CO concentration in the Vicinity of Indraprashta Marg, near ITO, Delhi, India using Caline – 4 model for local meteorological and traffic conditions has been carried out. Furthermore, the statistical analysis of predicted CO concentration with monitored data has been performed. The procedure includes site selection, description of sampling (receptor) locations, primary and secondary data collection prediction of CO prediction for the real type....Reference [1].

Backpressure-Based Packet-By-Packet Adaptive Routing For Traffic Management in Communication NetworksAbstract: Back pressure-based adaptive routing algorithms where each packet is routed along a possibly different pathhave been extensively studied in the literature. However, suchalgorithms typically result in poor delay performance and involvehigh implementation complexity. In this paper, we develop anew adaptive routing algorithm built upon the widely-studiedback-pressure algorithm. We decouple the routing and schedulingcomponents of the algorithm by designing a probabilistic routingtable which is used to route packets to per-destination queues.The scheduling decisions in the case of wireless networks aremade using counters called shadow queues. The results arealso extended to the case of networks which employ simpleforms of network coding. In that case, our algorithm provides alow-complexity solution to optimally exploit the routing-codingtrade-off.Reference [1] Sprint IP network performance.

The Topic Tracking Based on Modified VSM of Lexical Chain,S SememeAbstract: Vector Space Model (VSM) has aroused significant research attention in recent years due to its advantage in topic tracking. However, its effectiveness has been restrained by its incapability in revealing same-concept semantic information of different keywords or hidden semantic relations of the text, making the accuracy of topic tracking hardly guaranteed. Confronting these issues with concern, a modified VSM, namely Semantic Vector Space Model, is put forward. To establish the model, numerous lexical chains based on HowNet are first built, then sememes of the lexical chains are extracted as characteristics of feature vectors. Afterwards, initial weight and structural weight of the characteristics are calculated to construct the Semantic Vector Space Model, encompassing both semantic and structural information. The initial weight is collected from word frequency, while the structure weight is obtained from a designed calculation method: Each lexical chain structure weight is defined as (m + 1)/S, m is the number of the other similar chains, and S is the number of the reports used for extraction of the lexical chains. Finally, the model is applied in web news topic tracking with satisfactory experimental results, conforming the method to be effective and desirable.Key words: Topic tracking, Vector Space Model, Lexical chain, Sememe Reference [1] YANG Yim-ing, CARBONELL J, BROWN R, et al.

And (ii) How should the network be configured to achieve the optimum? Given a set of nodes with arbitrary locations, and a set of data rows specified as source-destination pairs, what is the maximum achievable throughput, under certain constraints on the radio parameters in particular, on transmit power.

Contrast Enhancement of Color Images with Bi-HistogramAbstract: Histogram equalization is a widely used scheme for contrast enhancement in a variety of applications due to its simple function and effectiveness. One possible drawback of the histogram equalization is that it can change the mean brightness of an image significantly as a consequence of histogram flattening. Clearly, this is not a desirable property when preserving the original mean brightness of a given image is necessary. Bi-histogram equalization is able to overcome this drawback for gray scale images. In this paper, we explore the use of bi-histogram equalization based technique for enhancing RGB color images. The technique is based on cumulative density function of a quantized image. From the results it is concluded that bi-histogram equalization is able to improve the contrast of colored images significantly.Key words: histogram equalization, histogram specification, Image enhancement, maximum entropy, mean brightness preserving.

Effective SCA Stimulation Proved To Be the Key Economic To Maximize Profitability in the Grgaf Group Formation of the Sirte Basin, LibyaAbstract: Implementing SCA treatment selection technique and design in Grgaf group formation to remove the excepted skin damage near well bore and improve well influx (productivity). The Grgaf Group Formation was responded positively to stimulation technique despite of the designed recommended volume 24 gal/ft.An important part of SAC is the 'art' of diversion because in the treatment of a large interval and natural fracture that why it implemented on it. Therefore output results before treatment, the pressures were rise up, while the rates were dropped such as 800 psi at 0.615 and 1000 psi at 0.963 bpm. The initial injectivity test after treatment, the pressures were dropped and the rates were increased by ratio from 22 to 88% while the final injectivity after treatment, the rates were increased by ratio from 638 to 842.6 % in order to responsible for a major increase in productivity and amount of high –quality work Thus fractured quartzite that it supported to removed damage around wellbore.

Design Of Interval Type-Ii Fuzzy Logic Traffic Controller For Multilane Intersections With Emergency Vehicle Priority System Using Matlab SimulationAbstract: During the past several years fuzzy logic control has swell from one of the major active and profitable areas for research in the application of fuzzy set, especially in the zone of industrial process which do not lead themselves to control conventional methods because of lack of quantitative data regarding the input-output relations. Fuzzy control is based on fuzzy logic- a logical system which is much closer in spirit to human thinking and natural language than conventional logical systems. The fuzzy logic controller based on fuzzy logic provides a means of converting a linguistic control strategy based on expert knowledge into an automatic control strategy. As in Fuzzy logic traffic controller, the need arises for simulating and optimizing traffic control algorithms to better accommodate this increasing demand. Fuzzy optimization deals with finding the values of input parameters of a complex simulated system which result in desired output. This paper presents a MATLAB simulation of fuzzy logic traffic interval type II controller for controlling flow of traffic in multilane paths. This controller is based on the waiting time and queue length of vehicles at present green phase and vehicles queue lengths at the other lanes. The controller controls the traffic light timings and phase difference to ascertain sebaceous flow of traffic with least waiting time and queue length. In this paper, the multilane model used consists of two alleyways in each approach. Every outlook has different value of queue length and waiting time, systematically, at the intersection. The maximum value of waiting time and vehicle queue length has to be selected by using proximity sensors as inputs to controller for the ameliorate control traffic flow at the intersection. An intelligent traffic model and fuzzy logic interval type II traffic controller are developed to evaluate the performance of traffic controller under different pre-defined conditions for oleaginous flow of traffic. Additionally, this fuzzy logic traffic controller has emergency vehicle siren sensors which detect emergency vehicle movement like ambulance, fire brigade, Police Van etc. and gives maximum priority to him and pass preferred signal to it.Key words: Fuzzy Traffic Controller; Multilane Intersection; Vehicle Actuated Controller; Emergency Vehicle Selector, Fuzzy Interval type II.

Selection of Significant Features Using Decision Tree ClassifiersAbstract: Data Mining refers to extraction or mining knowledge from huge volume of data. Classification is an important data mining technique with various applications. It classifies data of various kinds and used to classify each item in a set of data into one of predefined set of classes or groups. This work has been carried out to select the most significant attributes from a dataset using Decision tree classifier j48.This Decision tree classification algorithm can be efficiently used in selecting the most significant feature of a dataset and hence we can reduce the dimensionality of a dataset and yet obtain a very good accuracy. In this paper we have selected two datasets from university of California, Irvine website, of weather and vote and applied j48 algorithm on it. After each iteration, one attribute is removed and its accuracy has been found .We have compared the accuracy of dataset with different attribute count and then selected the most significant features of dataset.Reference [1].

These efforts received a boost with the Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources‟ (DNES, latter MNES, now a ministry, MNRE) dissemination program that was initiated in 1987. While this subsidy-based program was successful in placing about 1200 gasifier systems for irrigation pumping in the field, most of these units were non-operational soon after for lots of reasons. Despite all this, large-scale gasifier deployment has still not taken off in India. The fact that scale -up did not take place automatically even in cases where gasifiers are economically clearly feasible indicates that there are a number of issues to be considered and barriers to be overcome for successful large-scale deployment. To facilitate gasifier deployment among poorer and nonskilled users (i.e., unorganized, small-scale firms, rural areas); and lack of systematic programs targeted towards scale-up. Especially important is the fact that the particulars of implementing gasifier-based energy systems depend on the kind of application and context; therefore the approach has to be tailored to the specific application – this impedes the potential success of any single approach to scale-up.Key words: Biomass, Gasifier, Gasifiication, renewableenergy, scaling-up Reference [1] Goldemberg J. 2000.

| 10. | A Systematic Look at Code Performance and System Simulation
A Systematic Look at Code Performance and System SimulationAbstract: The most standard method in improvise a system's efficiency in Digital communication is channel coding but this methods is not been able to extend its features for high speed links. Growing demands in network speeds are placing a large burden on the energy efficiency of high-speed links and render the benefit of channel coding for these systems a timely subject. The low error rates of interest and the presence of residual inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by hardware constraints impede the analysis and simulation of coded high-speed links. Focusing on the residual ISI and collective noise as the dominant error mechanisms, this paper analyzes error correlation through concepts of error region, channel signature, and correlation distance. This framework provides a deeper insight into joint error behaviors in high-speed links, extends the range of statistical simulation for coded high-speed links, and provides a case against the use of biased Monte Carlo methods in this setting. Finally, based on a hardware test bed, the performance of standard binary forward error correction and error detection schemes is evaluated, from which recommendations on coding for high-speed links are derived.Key words: Communication systems, Integrated circuit interconnections, Intersymbol interference (ISI).

Forecasting the direction of stock market index movement using three data mining techniques: the case of Tehran Stock ExchangeAbstract: Prediction of stock price return is a highly complicated and very difficult task because there are many factors such that may influence stock prices. An accurate prediction of movement direction of stock index is crucial for investors to make effective market trading strategies. However, because of the high nonlinearity of the stock market, it is difficult to reveal the inside law by the traditional forecast methods. In response to such difficulty, data mining techniques have been introduced and applied for this financial prediction. This study attempted to develop three models and compared their performances in predicting the direction of movement in daily Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) index. The models are based on three classification techniques, Decision Tree, Random Forest and Naïve Bayesian Classifier. Ten microeconomic variables and three macroeconomic variables were chosen as inputs of the proposed models. Experimental results show that performance of Decision Tree model (80.08%) was found better than Random Forest (78.81%) and Naïve Bayesian Classifier (73.84%).Key words: Predicting direction of stock market index movement- Decision Tree- Random Forest- Naïve Bayesian Classifier Reference [1] Abbasi, E., & Abouec, A.

Active Solar Energy Use Approaching SustainabilityAbstract: Nowadays, sustainability becomes one of the most important issues that should be taken into consideration in various fields especially in architecture. Our responsibility for the future generation insinuates us for using renewable energy sources and integrating this pioneer system into the built environment. Although the world is facing problems of fossil fuel resources but unfortunately Utilization of solar energy received limited attention until recently. However, Integrating of active solar energy devices into the building envelopes is one of the good strategies for heat producing and power generating simultaneously from the same building. This paper discusses some characteristics about integration of PV s and solar thermal collectors. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to find suitable and possible ways of PV s and solar thermal collector's building integration in order to increasing energy efficiency without any impact on architectural features.Key words: active solar system, building integration, power supply, hot water supply, energy efficiency Reference [1] Basnet, A.(2012).

| 24. | Characterization of Multi Crystalline PV Modules under Standard Test Conditions and its Comparison with other Module Types
Characterization of Multi Crystalline PV Modules under Standard Test Conditions and its Comparison with other Module TypesAbstract: Photovoltaic modules based on the relatively high efficiency crystalline technology are gaining importance in the photovoltaic market. Improving module performance is driven by a focus on lifetime yields and requirements of space – constraints sites. The materials used not only in thin film technologies but also crystalline pose problems in terms of measuring how much power is generated under STC. The fact that the modules power rates vary depends both on the amount of time they have been exposed to the sun and on their history of sunlight exposure in order to know the current state of the module. It is necessary to determine an easily accomplishable testing method that ensures the repeatability of the measurements of the power generated. This is essential because in order to have a reliable sample of the PV module population of a large PV plant, a huge no of modules must be measured. This paper shows different tests performed on different commercial crystalline PV modules both multi and mono, in order to find the best way to obtain measurements. A correlation was tested between sun exposure and power measured. A method for obtaining indoor measurements that takes periods of sunlight exposure into account is proposed. Also, temperature and irradiance coefficients were also determined for different technologies in order to obtain accurate measurements. Tests are operated in outdoor exposure and natural sunlight located in Gurgaon Region of Haryana (India) as specific composite climate environment, characterized by high irradiation and temperature levels.Key words: Crystalline PV Module, CdTe, Light Soaking, power conditioning, thin film.

Saline Ground Water and Irrigation Water on Root Zone SalinityAbstract: Salinisation of land and rivers is a problem of national importance in India. Appropriate land management options to alleviate salinisation should be chosen with knowledge of the effects of land management on stream flow, stream salinity, stream salt load and land productivity. The Management of Catchment Salinisation (MCS) modelling approach has been described in earlier work. It links a one-dimensional soil water model with a groundwater model to investigate the effects of management options in study areas of approximately 50 km2. The one dimensional model is used to characterize the annual soil water balance as a function of underlying aquifer Vpotential for all required combinations of soil, vegetation and groundwater salinity. It includes the effect of salt accumulation on plant water use. A groundwater model is then used to estimate the depth to water table across the study area that reflects the topography, hydrogeology and the distribution of vegetation. The MCS model is used to investigate the potential effects of future land use scenarios on catchment salt and water balance. Land use scenarios that have been considered include: forest plantations, revegetation with native trees and shrubs, and development of small areas of crops (10 to 20 ha) irrigated with groundwater. This project focuses on the development of small crop areas irrigated with groundwater and investigates the sustainability of these schemes. It also compares the reduction of catchment salt load export under irrigation development with the reduction under afforestationKey words: National Highway, Remote sensing, Alignment Using Gis, Shortest route Reference [1].

Developing a Planning Framework for Accessible and Sustained Urban AgricultureAbstract: Food insecurity threatens communities across the Tamilnadu States, characterized by environmental degradation, decreasing agricultural land, rising social inequities, skewed communities, and public health issues. Urban agriculture provides an opportunity to counteract food system problems and empower individuals. Urban agriculture is broadly defined as food production in urban spaces. Despite its benefits, urban agriculture is threatened by institutional barriers. Urban agriculture is not fully supported by municipal laws and policies, making it vulnerable and impermanent. Therefore, developing and implementing planning policies, laws, and programs to support urban agriculture will establish its practices and support its benefits. Research focuses on broad policies, comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, and organizational infrastructure. Samples are drawn from cities across the Tamilnadu States, including San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Cleveland, Seattle, and Chicago. Discussion, comparison, and evaluation are based on public input and comment. Because of the very recent and ongoing nature of urban agriculture planning measures, discussed policies, laws, and programs are sometimes incomplete or in the process of being adopted. This thesis establishes opportunities, examples, and boundaries for developing an urban agriculture planning framework and potential nationwide municipal application.Key words: Planning, Framework, Farming , Urban Agriculture, Reference [1].

Performanance Evaluation of the Cauvery Irrigation System, India, Using Remote Sensing and Gis TechnologyAbstract: Evaluation of any irrigation project involves the assessment of area, improved by the project. Irrigated agriculture will play a major role in determining the future food security of most Asian countries, and it will also be the major contributor to the additional food production required as world population expands. Therefore, it is important to raise the agricultural performance of low productivity/ irrigation systems, while sustaining the performance of more-productive systems. In many countries, and particularly in India, accurate evaluation of irrigation system performance and sustainability is hampered by lack of adequate, reliable, and timely irrigation statistics. Usually, performance indicators such as yield, cropping intensity, and irrigation intensity are measured at an aggregated level, often at the state or national levels. Data at project level are rarely collected. If collected, they frequently are unreliable or not easily accessible. It is in this context emerging technologies in irrigation management, applied remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques to study the Cauvery Irrigation System and to analyze agricultural performance issues. The diagnostic analysis of the operation of the Cauvery canal command area in south side India reported here was the result of collaborative research by the National Remote Sensing Agency. Satellite remote sensing was utilized to obtain data on basic agronomic characteristics and crop yield. Hydrologic analysis based on ground data was carried out, aided by GIS and supplemented with output data from a distributed computer model that simulates the spatiotemporal behaviour of canal water, soil water, and groundwater. The salient findings from this research are reported here and in Remote Sensing and Hydrologic Models for Performance Assessment in Irrigation Circle, India. The Cauvery Irrigation System is above average in agricultural performance compared with other irrigation systems in Tamilnadu.Key words: Cauvery Irrigation System, Cropping Intensity, Hydrologic Analysis, Tamilnadu, Crop Yield.

Identification And Analysis Of Pollution In Thirumani Muthar River Using Remote SensingAbstract: This study focused on water quality for Thirumanimuthar river basin, the possible auxiliary drinking water source of salem town tamilnadu. Through remote sensing (RS) approach, water quality retrieval models were established and analyzed for eight common concerned water quality variables, including algae content, turbidity, and concentrations of chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, total phosphorus, and dissolved phosphorus, by using Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) data. The results showed that there existed a statistical significant correlation between each water quality variable and remote sensing data in the slightly-polluted inland water body with fairly weak spectral radiation. With appropriate method of sampling pixel digital numbers and multiple regression algorithms, algae content, turbidity, and nitrate nitrogen concentration could be retrieved within 10% mean relative error, concentrations of total nitrogen and dissolved phosphorus within 20%, concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus within 30% while chemical oxygen demand had no effective retrieval method. These accuracies were acceptable for the practical applications of routine monitoring and early warning on water quality safety with some support of precise traditional monitoring.Key words: Thirumanimuthur, Remote sensing, Ground water, Hydro Geochemical.

Comparison of Air Cooled and Evaporatively Cooled Refrigerartion Systems – A Review PaperAbstract: The air cooled condensers are widely used as they are less costly and give satisfactory performance. But their performance is greatly affected by the temperature of cooling media which is ambient air. To deal this problem we can use water cooled condenser. But their cost and maintenance limit their use. The performance improvement of Air cooled condensers can be achieved by using evaporative cooling. This method may prove quiet effective and less costly. There are researchers working on the above issue. Few of them have successfully implemented the research in practice. The paper deals with a few papers using the evaporative cooling. The applications include domestic as well as industrial.Key words: Air cooled condenser, Evaporative cooling Reference [1] E.

Experimental Analysis Of 80 Tr Capacity Air Cooled Scroll Chiller Using R-22 & R-407c.Abstract: In air conditioning systems, chilled water is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils, in air handling units or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in their respective space(s), and then the water is re-circulated back to the chiller to be cooled again. These cooling coils transfer sensible heat and latent heat from the air to the chilled water, thus cooling and usually dehumidifying the air stream. The experiment works on 80 TR capacity Air Cooled Scroll Chiller systems. Vapour compression refrigeration cycle is used for cooling chilling water. Capacity of compressor is taken same for the different refrigerants used for experimental analysis. During experimental work used R-22 and R-407C as refrigerants. Theoretical COP of system with R-22 refrigerant is 4.166 and actual COP is 2.227. For 80 TR capacity scroll air cooled chiller, theoretical COP of system with R-407c refrigerant is 3.465 and actual COP is 2.745 respectively. Based on the result analysis the same capacity of air cooling system with scroll compressor Actual COP of R-407C is higher than R-22. It means R-407C is also a alternative refrigerant for air cooled chilling system and also for HVAC system.Key words: Air Chiller, Scroll Compressor, Vapour compression cycle, COP, HVAC system Reference [1] Hundy, G.

Land Use and Land Cover Change Detection and Urban Sprawl Analysis of Panamarathupatti Lake, SalemAbstract: Land use and land cover change has become a central component in current strategies for managing natural resources and monitoring environmental changes. Urban expansion has brought serious losses of agriculture land, vegetation land and water bodies. Urban sprawl is responsible for a variety of urban environmental issues like decreased air quality, increased runoff and subsequent flooding, increased local temperature, deterioration of water quality, etc. In this work we have taken Panamarathupatti lake salem city as case to study the urban expansion and land cover change that took place in a span of 36 years from 1973 to 2009. Remote sensing methodology is adopted to study the geographical land use changes occurred during the study period.Landsat images of TM and ETM+ of Panamarathupatti lake salem city area are collected from the USGS Earth Explorer web site. After image pre-processing, un-supervised and supervised image classification has been performed to classify the images in to different land use categories. Five land use classes have been identified as Urban (Built-up), Water body, Agricultural land, Barren land and Vegetation. Classification accuracy is also estimated using the field knowledge obtained from field surveys. The obtained accuracy is between 73 to80 percent for all the classes. Change detection analysis shows that Built-up area has been increased by 372.28%, agricultural area has been decreased by 65.16% and barren area reduced by 60.98%. Information on urban growth, land use and land cover change study is very useful to local government and urban planners for the betterment of future plans of sustainable development of the city.

DNA Computer; Present and FutureAbstract: DNA computers use strands of DNA to perform computing operations. The computer consists of two types of strands – the instruction strands and the input data strands. The instruction strands splice together the input data strands to generate the desired output data strand. DNA computing holds out the promise of important and significant connections between computers and living systems, as well as promising massively parallel computations. Before these promises are fulfilled, however, important challenges related to errors and practicality has to be addressed. On the other hand, new directions toward a synthesis of molecular evolution and DNA computing might circumvent the problems that have hindered development, so far.

The Effect of Salt Concentration on Microbes during Microbial Enhanced Oil RecoveryAbstract: Reservoir fluid salinity, its effectiveness on viscosity as well as temperature dependency is an important parameter for enhanced oil recovery consideration. Previous studies on formation fluid properties focused on NaCl and KCl, the two most common brines in connate water and in water-based drilling mud, failing, however, to relate its performance to bacterial survival. This work has considered four different brine solutions and how it will affect the useability of pseudomonas species and halobacterium H – 356. The bacterial mixture viscosity shows a considerable difference between NaCl, CsCl, KCl and LiCl with NaCl and LiCl being favourable brines. Hence, for flooding agent at varying temperature since it makes the bacteria mixture viscosity more viscous whereas the KCl appeared less viscous compared to liquid mixture standard water. For the bacteria mixture, the viscosity of KCl and CsCl decreases with the concentration of a low temperature range and increases with the concentration at a high range.Key words: Bacteria Growth, MEOR, Salinity, Salt Concentration Reference [1] S.L.

Due to reliability, scalability, high performance and low band width most of the organizations are running their applications in cloud. The cloud service providers provide the services to the registered cloud users on payment basic across the glove. The cloud services are basically categorized as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. The services are available to the users depending on cloud deployment and the SLA (service level agreements) between the service providers and the users. Providing security to the users and trust into cloud environment is the responsibility of the cloud service providers. The main objective of this paper is to provide a clear idea about the cloud service models and outline the security issues in the service models.Key words: Cloud computing; Cloud computing models; Cloud Security Issues; Cloud Security Threats.

Treatment Of Municipal Waste Water In Salem CityAbstract: The treatment processes and quality of the final effluent produced by tertiary filtration for phosphorus removal typically meet state criteria for wastewater reclamation. Reuse of this high quality effluent can be an attractive alternative to direct discharge into surface waters in situations where restrictive NPDES permit limitations apply. In this report, EPA region 10 presents observations of advanced wastewater treatment installed in Salem city. These facilities employ chemical addition and a range of filtration technologies which have proven to be very effective at producing an effluent containing low levels of phosphorus.

Impact of Sewage and Industrial Effluent on Soil Plant Health Act on EnvironmentAbstract: Effect of continuous irrigation with sewage effluent on soil properties and status of nutrients and pollutant elements in soils and plants in the adjoining areas of Agra and Mathura cities of Uttar Pradesh was ascertained. The physical properties of soils improved due to sewage water irrigation. An appreciable increase in organic carbon, available N, P, K contents was recorded in the sewage water irrigated soils. Electrical conductivity of sewage water irrigated soils was much below the threshold limit of salinity. Application of sewage water resulted in the accumulation of heavy metals in surface soil. The mean contents of total Cd, Cr, Pb in the soils irrigated with sewage water were 2.85, 75.40 and 40.26 mg kg- 1, respectively. The mean values of available Cd, Cr and Pb in soils were 0.21, 0.33 and 1.27 mg kg-1, respectively. The concentration of Cr in lettuce, cabbage and be seem plants grown on sewage water was higher as compared to its tolerance level indicating their accumulation in plants. In general, Cd was relatively higher in lettuce (0.88 mg kg-1). On the other hand, be seemed contained relatively higher amount of Cr and Pb.Key words: Impact, Sewage, Industrial Effluent, Soil Plant Health, Environment. Reference [1].

| 41 | Analysis of Urban Growth and Its Impact on Groundwater Tanneries by Using Gis
Analysis of Urban Growth and Its Impact on Groundwater Tanneries by Using GisAbstract: Urbanization is a progressive concentration of population in urban unit. At the moment, India is one among the country of low level of urbanization. In the last fifty years the population of India has grown two-and-a-half times, but urban India has grown nearly five times. In 2001, 306.9 million Indians (30.5%) were living in nearly 3700 towns and cities spread across the country, and it is expected to increase to over 400 million and 533 million by 2011 and 2021 respectively. At the moment, India is among the counties of low level of urbanization. As a result, most urban settlements are characterized by shortfalls in housing and water supply, urban encroachments in fringe area, inadequate sewerage, traffic congestion, pollution, poverty and social unrest making urban governance a difficult task. The high rate of urban population growth is a cause of concern among India's urban and town planners for efficient urban planning.There are increasingly widespread indications of degradation in the quality and quantity of groundwater, serious or incipient, caused by excessive exploitation and/or inadequate pollution control. The scale and degree of degradation varies significantly with the susceptibility of local aquifers to exploitation−related deterioration and their vulnerability to pollution. This project is based on the investigation or review of the situation in a substantial number of developing cities worldwide. It aims to raise the awareness among policymakers of hydro-geological processes in urban areas, to highlight key urban groundwater issues, to provide a framework for the systematic consideration of the groundwater dimension in urban management, and to formulate approaches for more sustainable management of groundwater resources in urban areas using remote sensing method.Urbanization on account of demographic and economic growth leads to the wide variety of environmental problems. The supply of infrastructure cannot cope with the demand placed by urban development. It results inadequacy of urban infrastructure, which leads to degradation of the quality of natural resources such as air, water, land, vegetation, marine life. In addition industrial pollution in large cities causes effects to human life. The present study is aimed to analyze the growth of urban development and its impact on ground water. To analyze the growth of Dindigul town and its impact on ground water quality remote sensing techniques were used. Dindigul town spreads over an area of 14.01 km2. Since 1970 the area was not increased but due to increasing population wards increased. For the assessment of ground water quality impact samples were taken in and around the town and analyses further. The results indicated that the samples nearer to the tanneries were exceeding the limits; mainly Begambur and Paraipatti compared to other locations.

| 2. | A Symmetric Key Cryptographic Technique Through Swapping Bits in Binary Field Using p-Box Matrix
A Symmetric Key Cryptographic Technique Through Swapping Bits in Binary Field Using p-Box MatrixAbstract: In this paper a symmetric key cryptographic algorithm named as "A Symmetric Key Cryptographic Technique Through Swapping Bits in Binary Field Using p-box Matrix" is proposed. Secret sharing is a technique by which any information can be break down into small pieces. The secret can be reconstructed only when a sufficient number of pieces of shares are combined together; individual shares are of no use on their own. Traditional secret sharing scheme possesses high computational complexity in both generating and reconstructing of share. In the proposed algorithm key has been taken from the user of n bits. Depending on the size of input stream a straight p-box will be generated to make the proposed algorithm unique. The Key and the p-box will be needed for encryption and decryption process. The block division process is introduced in the input stream. In the process of encryption swapping in binary input stream will be taken place.Key words: Plain Text, Cipher Text, Encryption, Decryption, P-Box and Key Image.

Optimization & Design of High Rise Building with Different Structural Framing Systems Subjected To Seismic LoadsAbstract: Due to excessive displacements of tall buildings occasioned by lateral loads, lateral load resisting systems are usually provided to curtail the load effect. The resistance may be offered by Frame Action, Shear Walls, or combined Walls and Frames (also known as Dual System). In this study, 3D structural modelling base software STAAD-PRO was used to generate and analyze three-dimensional building models for the assessment of the relative effectiveness of the various lateral load resisting systems. Five models were used, one for moment resisting frame & 04 models each for the lateral load resisting systems. Each model consisted of G +10 storey frame structure having total height of 33.0 m. Each building sample was subjected to three-dimensional analysis for the determination of both the lateral displacements at storey top and interstorey drifts. The results of the work showed that the dual system was the most efficient lateral-load resisting system based on deflection criterion, as they yielded the least values for lateral displacements and inter-storey drifts. The moment frame was the least stiff of the resisting systems, yielding the highest values of both the lateral displacement and the inter-storey drift.Index Terms: Moment Frame, Shear Wall, Dual System, Inter-Storey Drift, Lateral Displacement, Seismic Load Reference [1] IS 1893-2002, 'Indian Standard Criteria of practice for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures', Bureau of Indian Standards, New Delhi, India.

Evaluation of the Content of Heavy Metals and Organic Micropollutantsin the Effluents of the Wastewater Treatment Plant of the ErrachidiaCity –Morocco-Abstract: The aim of this study is to assess the content of heavy metals and organic micropollutants in wastewater before and after their treatments in the resort of wastewater treatment (WWTP) of the Errachidiacity (Morocco) to achieve experiments on reuse in irrigation. The analysis results showed that the content of heavy metals (Al, Ag, Cd, Cr, Fe, Hg, Pb, Ni, Mn, Cu, Zn and Ba) to the entry for the WWTP is relatively weak, due to low industrial and agricultural activity in the region. This clearly confirmsthenature ofdomesticsewageof the city. On leaving the station the concentrations of various metallictraces comply with discharge standards. Moreover, the dosage of organic micropollutants reveals relatively high concentrations at the entrance of the station especially for chlorides (900 mg/L) and Kjeldahl nitrogen (92 mg/L). While the treated water have low levels, which confirms the good treatment efficiency of the WWTP of the Errachidia city.Key words: heavy metals, organic micropollutants, ErrachidiaWWTP.

Power Control Scheme of D-StatcomAbstract: This paper presents an instantaneous power control scheme of D-STATCOM for power factor and harmonic compensation. The control strategy has been introduced in order to enhance some steady-state performances and elimination of power quality disturbances. Power factor and harmonic current of a controlled feeder section are two vital roles in steady-state power distribution system operation. In this paper, a control scheme with constant power and sinusoidal current compensation is exploited. And the proposed control scheme is designed to correct the power factor. In order to correct the power factor, a power factor control loop is required and therefore included in the control block. The DC voltage across the DC link capacitor must be large enough and kept constant at that value to stabilize the compensation. Therefore, DC link voltage regulator must be added to the control loop. Simulation is performed in two cases. The first case was the control scheme introduced by [2]. Whereas, the second case was the proposed control scheme given in this paper. Both test cases were assigned to be operated with the same instruction. The test system was started from zero initial conditions with only the rectifier load. At t = 0.2 s, the DSTATCOM was connected to the system via the point of coupling connection. At t = 0.5 s, the RL load was switched on to increase the system loading .To verify the use of the control scheme in order to correct power factor and compensate harmonic current, a 22- kV power distribution feeder with three-phase rectifier load was tested. Real powers, reactive powers and DC link voltages of each case were observed and then compared.Reference [1] K. Somsai, and T.

| 8. | Systematic Modeling of Sludge Filtration Process Using Dimensional Analysis Technique
Systematic Modeling of Sludge Filtration Process Using Dimensional Analysis TechniqueAbstract: The handling and disposal of sludge; the largest constituent removed in the process of treating wastewater is one of the greatest challenges facing the environmental engineer. The sludge has high water content and compressibility attribute and as such it is expedient to dewater it to reduce its volume and prevent environmental health hazard. This study presents a sludge filtration equation which incorporates the compressibility coefficient using a modified dimensional analysis technique. The equation was validated using experimental data from a pilot scale sand drying bed equipment yielding a close agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of the slope and intercept with a correlation coefficient ranging from 0.94- 0.98. The experimental slope and intercept was found to be (1260913.48 s/m6, 4872.53 s/m3) (5359604.57 s/m6, 844882.56 s/m3), (112117050.4 s/m6, -2135816.16 s/m3), (145562880 s/m6, -30497917.03 s/m3) while the theoretical slopes and intercepts are (1257426.75 s/m6, 5270.26 s/m3),( 4579418.42 s/m6, 905658.24 s/m3), (112117075 s/m6, -21358166.74 s/m3), (206699290.5 s/m6, -4589555.58 s/m3) respectively. The equation also accounts for the compressibility attribute believed to affect sludge filtration process.Key words: Sludge, Drying bed, Filtration, Compressibility, Dimensional analysis.

Face Tracking in Video by Using Kalman FilterAbstract: Face Tracking has been one of the most studied topics in computer vision literature. Facial feature extraction has some problems which must be researched. Small variations of face size and orientation can affect the result of face tracking. Since the input image is captured from a surveillance camera, certain conditions have to be considered - like different levels of brightness, shadows and clearness - which are challenges for detection and tracking purpose.Most facial feature extraction methods are sensitive to various non-ideal such as variation in illumination, noise, orientation, time-consumption and color space used. So there is a need for a good feature extraction method that will enhance the quality and performance of face recognition system. First, segmentation of foreground and background object is the one by using histogram equalization. By this method we are able to segment face based on skin color. After segmenting, Kalman filter is used to track the faces under several conditions. This feature is helpful for the development of a real-time visual tracking control system. Key words: Face detection, Facial Feature Extraction, Kalman Filter, Histogram Equalization, Face Tracking.

Implementation of Travelling Salesman Problem Using ant Colony OptimizationAbstract: Within the Artificial Intelligence community, there is great need for fast and accurate traversal algorithms, specifically those that find a path from a start to goal with minimum cost. Cost can be distance, time, money, energy, etc. Travelling salesman problem (TSP) is a combinatorial optimization problem. TSP is the most intensively studied problem in the area of optimization. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a population-based metaheuristic that can be used to find approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. There have been many efforts in the past to provide time efficient solutions for the problem, both exact and approximate. This paper demonstrates the implementation of TSP using ant colony optimization(ACO).The solution to this problem enjoys wide applicability in a variety of practical fields.TSP in its purest form has several applications such as planning, logistics, and manufacture of microchips, military and traffic.Key words: Ant colony optimization, Metaheuristic, Travelling salesman Problem, pheromone update, Hamiltonian cycles Reference [1] Lee Po-wing, Integrated modern-heuristic and B/B approach for the classical traveling salesman problem on a parallel computer, 2000 [2] M.

Extrusion Honed Surface Characteristics of Inconel 625 Fabricated By EDM for Square ShapeAbstract: Extrusion Honing (EH) is also known as Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is an effective method that is used to deburr, clean, polish, remove recast layer and micro cracks by flowing pressurized semisolid abrasive laden visco-elastic media over those surfaces. Inconel 625 is one of the most difficult-to-cut materials because of its low thermal diffusive property, high hardness and high strength at elevated temperature. In this paper, the influence of the process parameters on surface roughness is investigated on Inconel 625 material of square shape fabricated by Electric discharge machining (EDM). The processed surfaces were measured and analyzed with the help of surface roughness tester and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Results show a significant improvement in surface finish and EH/AFM is capable of removing the micro cracks and recast layer.Key words: Extrusion honing, Inconel, EDM, Surface finish, Abrasive Flow Machining, Silicone, SiC.

Cross-Cloud Testing Strategies Over Cloud ComputingAbstract: Cloud computing is the new paradigm to deliver all the hosted services over internet on demand. The ultimate goal of cloud computing paradigm is to realize computing as a utility. The cloud is rapidly maturing towards its goal to support a wide variety of enterprise and consumer services and real-world applications. Recently a movement towards cross cloud also called as multi-clouds or inters clouds or cloud-of-clouds has emerged which take advantage of multiple independent cloud provider offers for cloud resilience and dependability. This cross cloud represents the next logical wave in computing, enabling complex hybrid applications, cost and performance optimization, enhanced reliability, customer flexibility and lock-in avoidance. Providing testing as a service (TaaS) in cross clouds become hot topics in industry. Testing heterogeneous e-commerce sites, Software as a Service solutions, and Cloud based applications is extremely challenging. Many vendors are offering cloud testing services to support cloud-based applications. However, there is a lack of clear understanding about cloud testing in terms of concepts, issues, challenges, and needs. This paper surveys recent research related to testing of cross clouds applications and also simulates multilayer testing, service level agreement based testing on the large scale commercial testing environment. One of the key aspect of the existing approach is it does not perform cross-cloud testing procedures in cloud based software applications. This paper proposes to build, integrate and implement an application prototype that initiates some of the above stages on a cross cloud platform. This cloud environment achieves more flexibility to the users and providers. This collaborative system will apply the concept of the cloud testing to reduce the mitigations in cloud data and loss of the service availability and data integrity aspects. Our experimental results show efficient data protection of cross cloud testing.Key words: cloud testing, performance testing and evaluation, and scalability is testing.

A Study on the Antibacterial Activity Of Zno Nanoparticles Prepared By Combustion Method against E ColiAbstract: Crystalline Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by low temperature solution combustion method using Oxalyl dihydrazide (ODH) as fuel, at much lower temperature (300oC). X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of wurtzite-structured pure ZnO No peaks from any else phases of ZnO and no impurity peaks were observed, indicating the high purity of the obtained hexagonal ZnO nanocrystals. The antibacterial activity of the formed nano ZnO were investigated against the pathogenic bacteria namely against E-coli. The bacteriological test is performed in Luria-Bertani and Nutrient agar media on solid agar plates and liquid broth system using different concentration of ZnO by standard microbial method. We have used both colony counting method and disk diffusion method. In both the methods ZnO nanoparticles with 100microg/L showed best antibacterial activity, and further studies on destruction of bacterial genomic DNA was done using PCR and gel electrophoresis revealed the DNA fragment bands, this activity might be due to surface charge interactions between the particles and cells. Free radical scavenging properties of the particles might have helped in cell wall disruption, and drastic antimicrobial action.Key words: Combustion, Nano-materials, Zinc oxide, X-ray techniques, E Coli Reference [1] F.

Brain Tumor Detection Based on Bilateral Symmetry InformationAbstract: Advances in computing technology have allowed researchers across many fields of endeavor to collect and maintain vast amounts of observational statistical data such as clinical data, biological patient data, data regarding access of web sites , financial data, and the like. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) segmentation is a complex problem in the field of medical imaging despite various presented methods. MR image of human brain can be divided into several sub-regions especially soft tissues such as gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid. Although edge information is the main clue in image segmentation, it can't get a better result in analysis the content of images without combining other information. The segmentation of brain tissue in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is very important for detecting the existence and outlines of tumors. In this thesis , an algorithm about segmentation based on the symmetry character of brain MRI image is presented. Our goal is to detect the position and boundary of tumors automatically. Experiments were conducted on real pictures, and the results show that the algorithm is flexible and convenient.Reference [1] Yu-Ning Liu Chung-Han Huang, Wei-Lun Chao, "DIP: Final project report Image segmentation based on the normalized cut framework", Volume-2, pp124-189.

Multimedia Content Based Image Retrieval Iii: Local Tetra PatternAbstract: Content Based Image Retrieval methods face several challenges while presentation of results and precision levels due to various specific applications. To improve the performance and address these problems a novel algorithm Local Tetra Pattern (LTrP) is proposed which is coded in four direction instead of two direction used in Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Local Derivative Pattern (LDP) andLocal Ternary Pattern(LTP).To retrieve the images the surrounding neighbor pixel value is calculated by gray level difference, which gives the relation between various multisorting algorithms using LBP, LDP, LTP and LTrP for sorting the images. This method mainly uses low level features such as color, texture and shape layout for image retrieval.Key words: Content Based Image Retrieval(CBIR),Local Binary Pattern, Local Derivative Pattern, Local Ternary Pattern, Local Ternary pattern(LTrP).

In this paper a new approach to this problem, which is developed in the framework of probabilistic random modeling. speech coding techniques are commonly used in low bit rate analysis and synthesis . Coding algorithms seek to minimize the bit rate in the digital representation of a signal without an objectionable loss of signal quality in the process. As the compression techniques that are used are Lossy compression technique and there is every possibility of loss in quality. Speech enhancement aims to improve speech quality by using various algorithms. This paper deals with multistage vector quantization technique used for coding (compression) of narrow band speech signal. The parameter used for coding of speech signals are the line spectral frequencies, so as to ensure filter stability after quantization. The code books used for quantization are generated by using Linde, Buzo and Gray(LBG) algorithm. The existing Speech enhancement techniques like spectral subtraction and Kalman filters performances are compared with the proposed recursive filter and approach yields significantly estimating the parameters like signal to noise ratio subjected to white Gaussian Noise and Real time noise signals.Key words: Linear predictive Coding, Multi stage vector quantization, Line Spectral Frequencies (LSF).

| 20. | Impacts of Irrigation and Drought on Salem Ground Water
Impacts of Irrigation and Drought on Salem Ground WaterAbstract: This investigation is the first of three phases of a ground-water management study. In this report, effects of irrigation and drought on the ground-water resources of Salem are examined. Irrigation water use for five soil types is estimated from a monthly water budget model on the basis of precipitation and temperature data from the last 30 years at selected weather stations across Salem. Moisture deficits are computed for each soil type on the basis of the water requirements of a corn crop. It is assumed that irrigation is used to make up the moisture deficit in those places where irrigation systems already exist. Irrigation water use from each township with irrigated acreage is added to municipal and industrial ground-water use data and then compared to aquifer potential yields. The spatial analysis is accomplished with a statewide geographic information system. An important distinction is made between the seasonal effects of irrigation water use and the annual or long-term effects. The model is tested for its sensitivity to weather variation; seasonal water deficits are calculated by using data from extreme growing seasons and extended drought periods. The effect of increasing the amount of irrigated land by 50 percent is also considered for normal weather conditions and droughts. The effect of variable irrigation demand on ground-water resources is expressed as the ratio of ground-water use to ground-water potential yield for each township. This is done to highlight regions most susceptible to ground-water stress because of drought or increased irrigation by showing where use could exceed yield. The sensitivity of the results is not tested for variations in spatial aggregation. This will be one of the primary tasks in subsequent study phases. Results show that irrigation is a substantial seasonal consumptive ground water use in Salem, with the potential for growth. However, present effects appear to be localized and highly dependent on weather conditions. Some potential for seasonal or temporary overpumpage may exist in the heavily irrigated areas during years with below-normal precipitation or during extended droughts. The aquifers being used for irrigation appear to have the ability to recover from present irrigation demands without suffering significant depletion, implying that the annual effect of irrigation is currently relatively minimal. The exception to this may be during extended drought periods, especially if widespread expansion of irrigation practices also occurs in the state. A 50 percent expansion of irrigation would appear to have surprisingly little additional impact on ground-water resources under most climatic conditions. That degree of growth around currently irrigated land would result in expanded irrigation areas still within reach of the productive, high-yielding aquifers already being pumped for irrigation. A much larger degree of irrigation expansion into areas with heavier-textured soils is possible in Salem.Key words: Moisture,, Remote sensing, Potential, Ground water Using Gis, Aquifers.

Impact Analysis of Denial of Service (DoS) due to Packet FloodingAbstract: In the current scenario, it is noticed that when a server reached to its threshold value then there is situation of packet flooding. Flooding can arise in two ways first when many user make request to the server at same instant of time and other when a single user makes a huge number of requests intentionally to jam the network traffic for that particular server. This intentionally arise situation is called as Denial of Service (DoS) attack. DoS attacks are gigantic threat to internet users and websites. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is an improvised approach for restricting the legitimate users to use intended service. DDoS attacker uses software vulnerabilities of other computer system on the network in order to setup the attacking network for the victim.In this paper, the focus will be on the behavior of server or victim machine regarding various parameters under DoS attack by using LAN network simulated on OPNET Modeler. It provides model families, that can be used for simulation and record various parameters as realistic value.

Network Life Enhancement in Wireless Sensor NetworkAbstract: In Wireless Sensor Network the main focus is on developing a mechanism to extend the network lifetime by energy balancing. To achieve this, LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchical) protocol and LEACH-CC (Leach-Centralized with Chain) protocol is used. But LEACH and LEACH-CC have some limitations that are overcome by Group based routing protocol which is presented in this paper. In this study the nodes are grouped into one group that lies in the same range which senses the similar data from the field in which nodes are deployed in. Each group has only one active node for sensing the data and others are at sleep mode which increases the lifetime of network by saving the energy used in transmitting the duplicate data. Two base station locations are used to overcome the hotspot problem and to reduce the distance problem. The results shows that Group based routing protocol perform better than LEACH and LEACH-CC and extend the lifetime of network.Key words: Base station, LEACH, LEACH-CC, Threshold energy, Sensor Node, Wireless sensor network Reference [1] W.

Solid Waste Bin Monitoring Using Zig –BeeAbstract: Through the history, the significant amount of solid waste generated by humans was due to low population density and low levels of the exploitation of natural resources. Common waste produced during pre-modern times was mainly ashes and human biodegradable waste, which were released into the ground locally, with minimal environment impact. Tools made out of metal or woods were generally reused or passed down the generations and generations . However, in mid-19th century, due to cholera outbreaks and the emergence of a public health debate that the first legislation on this solid waste issue emerged. the report The Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population in 1842 of the social reformer, Edwin Chadwick, in which he argued for the importance of adequate waste removal and management facilities to improve the health and wellbeing of the city's population was highly effective.Key words: ARM 7, GSM, Solid Waste, Waste Management, Zig Bee Reference [1] 1)Latifah, A., Mohd, A.

Model for The Diffusionof Biogenic Gases In Heterogeneous Reservoirs Undergoing Transient FlowAbstract: Microbially enhanced petroleum reservoirs confirms a recovery of about 30-40 % residual oil, with an integral composition of wide range of oil recovery mechanisms including wettability alteration by biosurfactant production, selective plugging of highly permeable channels by biopolymer production, creating fluid flow channels in carbonate reservoirs by rock dissolution attributed to bioacid formation, and a range of other exploitable recovery techniques. This study presents an investigation of biogenic gas produced in-situ and its concentration profile across the reservoir. An increasing concentration trend in the grids was observed and these increments were owed to the fact that diffusion of the biogenic occurred. It was also observed that after 40days of Desulfovibro injection, the produced CO2 across the reservoir was tending towards being even in values of concentration, implying that diffusion rate was approaching a zero value. Also, the distorting effect of reservoir heterogeneity on biogenic gas concentration profile was also resolved by adopting the method of averaging for permeability and porosity in the reservoir.Key words: Biogenic gases, Concentration, Heterogeneity, Microbes Reference [1] L.K.

Adaptive Super-Spatial Prediction Approach For Lossless Image CompressionAbstract: Existing prediction based lossless image compression schemes perform prediction of an image data using their spatial neighborhood technique which can't predict high-frequency image structure components, such as edges, patterns, and textures very well which will limit the image compression efficiency. To exploit these structure components, adaptive super-spatial prediction approach is developed. The super-spatial prediction approach is adaptive to compress high frequency structure components from the grayscale image. The motivation behind the proposed prediction approach is taken from motion prediction in video coding, which attempts to find an optimal prediction of structure components within the previously encoded image regions. This prediction approach is efficient for image regions with significant structure components with respect to parameters as compression ratio, bit rate as compared to CALIC (Context-based adaptive lossless image coding).Key words: Adaptive Super-Spatial prediction approach, Bit Rate, Compression performance, Context-based adaptive lossless image coding (CALIC), structure components.

| 31. | To Implement Energy Efficient of Integer Unit by Higher Voltage Flip Flop Based on Minimum operating Dual Supply Voltage Techinque
To Implement Energy Efficient of Integer Unit by Higher Voltage Flip Flop Based on Minimum operating Dual Supply Voltage TechinqueAbstract: To achieve the most energy-efficient operation, this brief presents a circuit design technique for separating the power supply voltage (VDD) of flip-flops (FFs) from that of combinational circuits, called the higher voltage FF (HVFF). Although VDD scaling can reduce the energy, the minimum operating voltage (VDDmin) of FFs prevents the operation at the optimum supply voltage that minimizes the energy, because the VDDmin of FFs is higher than the optimum supply voltage. In HVFF, the VDD of combinational logic gates is reduced below the VDDmin of FFs while keeping the VDD of FFs at their VDDmin. This makes it possible to minimize the energy without power and delay penalties at the nominal supply voltage (1.2 V) as well as without FF topological difications.

Wind Solar Hybrid System Rectifier Stage Topology SimulationAbstract: This paper presents power-control strategies of a grid-connected hybrid generation system with versatile power transfer. The hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available renewable sources like wind and photovoltaic energies. This paper presents a new system configuration of the multi input rectifier stage for a hybrid wind and photovoltaic energy system. This configuration allows the two sources to supply the load simultaneously depending on the availability of the energy sources maximum power from the sun when it is available. An adaptive MPPT algorithm with a standard perturbs and observed method will be used for the Photo Voltaic system. The main advantage of the hybrid system is to give continuous power supply to the load. The gating pulses to the inverter switches are implemented with conventional and fuzzy controller.

Bacteria as a Filtration Loss Reducing Agent during DrillingAbstract: One of the desired properties of a drilling mud is that it should minimize fluid loss from the wellbore into the surrounding permeable formation. It is preferable that the quantity of liquid lost to the surrounding formation and the thickness of the filter cake formed be held to a minimum. The fermentates employed for purposes of the invention are produced by the fermentation of carbohydrate solutions with bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas. Specific Xanthomonas organisms employed includes Xanthomonas begonia, Xanthomonas campestris, Xanthomonas hederae etc. Experimental work showed that fermentates produced by members of this genus have properties, which are used for purposes of this invention.Key words: Drilling Fluid, LCM, Filtration, Drilling Reference [1] M.

Thermal Analysis of Fin and Tube Heat ExchangerAbstract: This paper studied experimentally the effect of heat transfer of fin and tube type heat exchanger for different mass flow rate of fluid. The thermal stresses induced on fin and tube is also studied by ansys software at steady state condition by changing the width of fin and diameter of tube. Readings were taken experimentally by changing mass flow rate of fluid at respective temperatures. Comparison was done on theoretically and experimentally obtained results. It is observed that as the width of fin increases thermal stresses on fin also increases. Likewise for tube, by varying diameter of tube different values of stress are obtained. It is also observed at full valve position maximum thermal stresses are induced on fin as well as tube.Key words: Fin and tube Heat Exchanger, Aluminum Fin, Copper Tube, Experimentation, Mass flow rate, Steady State thermal Stress.

Noise Cancellation by Combining the Discrete Wavelet Transform With the Wiener FilterAbstract: In this study by using noise-free signal estimation the reduction of noise in the image is being proposed. The dyadic stationary wavelet transform is used for both the wiener filter and in estimating the noise free signal. Finding a suitable filter bank and choosing other parameters of the wiener filter with respect to obtained signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is our goal. Testing was being performed on the standard images corrupted with the noise. The artificial interference was created from the generated white Gaussian noise, whose power spectrum was modified according to a model of the power spectrum of the image. The adaptive setting parameters of the filtering according to the level of interference in the input signal are being used to improve the filtering performance. The average SNR of the whole test database is increased by about 10.6 dB. The better results can be provided by using the provided algorithm than the classic wavelet wiener filterKey words: image, dyadic stationary wavelet transform, SNR, white Gaussian noise, Wiener filter, Reference [1] L.

Modeling of Thin Film Solar Photovoltaic Based on Zno/Sns Oxide-Absorber Substrate ConfigurationAbstract: Due to increasing awareness for using clean energy and therefore greater demand for relying more on the renewable sources which solar photovoltaic are part of because they pose very little or no threat to the environment comparatively, there is growing pressure for reducing electricity generation costs from solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. Hence there is need for alternative new light absorbing materials that can provide conversion efficiencies which would be comparable to the current technologies based on crystalline silicon and CdTe or CIGS thin films at lower manufacturing costs and therefore providing cost effective solutions. In this paper we have evaluated the tin based absorber material (based on tin monosulfide; SnS) as the next generation of Photovoltaic cells that can provide the desired performance in the long term. Therefore it explores the potential use of tin mono-sulfide as photovoltaic material for conversion of light into electricity. Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films have been recognized as good candidates in photovoltaic devices acting as wide-band gap window layer. The results are presented through the numerical analysis done by AMPD-1D simulator tool to explore the possibility of using thin film and stable ZnO/SnS solar photovoltaic device with aim to achieve comparable conversion efficiencies. A baseline structure of SnS cell was explored in this work with thickness of SnS absorber layer up to 3 μm and .100 μm ZnO layer and showed reasonable efficiencies over 17%.

| 5. | Fundamental Difficulties Associated With Underwater Wet Welding
Fundamental Difficulties Associated With Underwater Wet WeldingAbstract: The offshore industries carry out welding activities in the wet environment. It is evident that the wet environments possess difficulties in carrying out underwater welding. Therefore there is the need to improve the quality of weld achieved in underwater welding. This paper investigates the difficulties associated with underwater welding. The objective of this research paper is to identify and analyze the different difficulties in underwater welding so as to make a clear background for further research to identifying the processes of eliminating these difficulties. The major difficulties in underwater welding are the cooling rate of the weld metal and arc stability during underwater wet welding at a higher depth. Methods of decreasing the cooling rate of weld metal and how to achieve arc stability are the major methods of approach. The result of welds achieved in underwater welding will be much improved as compared to air welding if the effects of the difficulties associated with underwater welding are eliminated. This will lead to a more robust welding activities being carried out underwater.Key words: Arc stability, Cooling rate, Porosity, Underwater welding, Water depth Reference [1] J.

Privacy Preservation of Data in Data MiningAbstract: For data privacy against an un-trusted party, Anonymization is a widely used technique capable of preserving attribute values and supporting data mining algorithms. The technique deals with Anonymization methods for users in a domain-driven data mining outsourcing. Several issues emerge when anonymization is applied in a real world outsourcing scenario. The majority of methods have focused on the traditional data mining approach; therefore they do not implement domain knowledge nor optimize data for domain-driven usage. So, existing techniques are mostly non-interactive in nature, providing little control to users.To successfully obtain optimal data privacy and actionable patterns in a real world setting, these concerns need to be addressed. The technique is based on anonymization framework for users in a domain-driven data mining outsourcing scenario. The framework involves several components designed to anonymize data while preserving meaningful or actionable patterns that can be discovered after mining. In the medical field, for enhancing the quality and importance of healthcare, data mining plays an important role. For example classification analysis on patients data to determine their probability of having heart disease, so, appropriate actions can be taken, thus enhancing treatment, saving time and cost. It is helpful to anonymize data while preserving meaningful of actionable patterns that can be found after mining.

| 7. | Optimizing the Dyeing Process of Alkali-Treated Polyester Fabric with Dolu Natural Dye
Optimizing the Dyeing Process of Alkali-Treated Polyester Fabric with Dolu Natural DyeAbstract: An attempt has been made to optimize the process of dyeing polyester (PET) fabric with natural dyes. Polyester has been first treated with NaOH solution in order to study its impact on the dyeability to the natural dye. The required and used colour component was extracted from a natural plant, namely: Rhubarb; Rheum officinale. The chemical structure of the used colouring matter is observed to have all the characteristics of a typical disperse dye.The colour strength of PET fabric was noticed to increase as a result of alkali treatment which may be attributed to the alteration in the hydrophobicity of polyester fibre. The most effective parameters that may affect the dye uptake of the natural dye on alkali-treated PET fabric and the final dyeing properties including dye bath pH, dyeing temperature and time were studied in details. The behaviour of the selected and used natural dye was found to be similar to that of disperse dyes. Addition of salicylic acid to the dye bath accelerated the rate of dyeing and subsequently higher colour strength was attained. Non- ionic dispersing agent was also used to ensure better dyeing uniformity and higher dispersion stability of dye liquor. It is obvious from this study that natural dyes can produce bright colour hues and colour fastness properties equivalent to those of synthetic disperse dyes. Thus, natural dyes may be considered as an eco- friendly alternative to the synthetic ones. Key words: Polyester, natural dye, Rhubarb, dyeing, alkali- treated polyester. Reference [1] B. H.

Reduction of Static Power with Minimized Ground Bounce Noise Using Sleep Signal Slew Rate Modulation In 45nm TechnologyAbstract: In MTCMOS Integrated Circuit design there exists a significant trade-off between static power consumption and technology scaling. In Modern circuits increase in power dissipation is significant due to combination of higher clock speeds, greater functional integration and smaller process geometries resulting in dominant static power consumption component. This is a big challenge for the circuit designer. However, the designers do have few methods like sleep transistor approach, sleepy stack approach to reduce this static power consumption. However all of these methods do have their own drawbacks. In order to achieve lower static power consumptions one has to sacrifice area and circuit performance metrics. In this paper we propose a new enhancement to available static power reduction techniques by modulating the sleep signal slew rate. We have designed the basic CMOS circuits in MTCMOS to achieve significant reduction in Static power consumption. For Sleep signal slew rate modulation we have proposed a modulator called triple phase sleep signal slew rate modulator. By using this Triple Phase Sleep signal modulator(TPS) we can control the noise at ground distribution network (ground bounce noise) produced during sleep to active state transition. By using TPS we can decrease the reactivation time to a recognizable extent, along with reduced power (static and dynamic) dissipation.Key words: Power and Ground bouncing noise, reactivation time, sleep signal rise delay, static power reduction.

The matrix method to calculate page rankAbstract: Choosing the right keywords is relatively easy, whereas getting a high PageRank is more complicated. The index Page Rank is what defines the position in the result pages of search engines (for Google of course, but the other engines are now using more or less the same kind of algorithm). It is therefore very important to understand how this type of algorithm functions to hope to appear on the first page of results (the only page read in 95 % of cases) or at least be among the first. We propose in this paper to clarify the operation of this algorithm using a matrix method and a JavaScript program enabling to experience this type of analysis. It is of course a simplified version, but it can add value to the website and achieve a high ranking in the search results and reach a larger customer base. The interest is to disclose an algorithm to calculate the relevance of each page. This is in fact a mathematical algorithm based on a web graph.

Hypervisor is the essential part of cloud technology; it is a component of software that provides a virtualized hardware environment to support running multiple operating systems concurrently using one physical server. In this paper we took KVM, XEN, Hyper-V and ESXi as hypervisors. We have compared the performance of Virtual Machines (VMs) by RabbitMQ message broker server that uses Advanced Message Queuing Protocol(AMQP) for breaking messages. We establish the setup on bare metal hypervisor that is installed directly on the hardware of the system. We took SAN (Shared Storage Network) server for maintaining the storage of all VMs. By the evaluation of these hyperviosrs we got a brief idea about their performance on different parameters. These results will be beneficial to small enterprise, social group or any private IT firm which is choosing to build small cloud infrastructure with optimal benefits. Experiment results of checking the performance of VMs for all the hypervisors shows that there is performance variation on different applications and workloads of the hypervisors. None of the hypervisors outperform another at every aspect of our comparison.Key words: Cloud computing, Hypervisor, Performance, RabbitMQ, Virtualization Reference [1] P. Mell and T.

Experimental Investigation on Performance Characteristic of Diesel Engine by Using Methyl Ester of Linseed and Neem oilAbstract: The increasing industrialization and motorization of the world has led to a steep rise for the demand of petroleum products. Petroleum based fuels are obtained from limited reserves. These finite reserves are highly concentrated in certain regions of the world. Therefore those countries not having these resources are facing a foreign exchange crisis, mainly due to the import of crude oil. Hence, it is necessary to look for alternative fuels, which can be produced from materials available within the country. In addition, the use of vegetable oils as fuel is less pollution than petroleum fuels. In this thesis work, the transesterification process of linseed oil (lso) and neem oil (no) in order to obtain bio diesel. Different parameters for the optimization of bio diesel products were investigated in the first phase, and the effects were characterized to test their properties as fuel in diesel engines such as viscosity, density, flash point, fire point and cetane number. While in the next phase lsome & nome was produced by transesterification method using linseed oil, neem oil and methyl alcohol, and its effects on reaction temperature, catalyst percentages, and reaction time for optimum bio diesel production have been studied. The blends of various proportions of the lsome & nome with diesel were prepared, analyzed and compared with diesel fuel, and comparison was made to suggest the better option among the bio diesel understudy. However, its diesel blends showed reasonable efficiencies.Key words: Biodiesel-diesel blends, combustion characteristics, fuel properties, performance parameters, transesterification process Reference [1] Lapuerta, M., and O.

Laboratory Investigation of Rivers State Clay Samples for Drilling Mud PreparationAbstract: Drilling fluids are an integral part of any oil and gas industry, providing the ease to which wells are drilled to access subsurface reservoir fluids. Certain rheology and mineralogical properties of the clay material used for drilling mud preparation must be critically investigated since clay deposits in different location exhibits different characteristics. Clay samples were collected from three different geographical locations namely; Egbamini (Emolga), Afam Street (Port Harcourt) and Oboboru (onelga) local government areas in Rivers state. Their rheological and wall building properties were measured in the laboratory to determine their suitability for drilling mud formulation. Results showed that in their respective native states, they proved unsuitable for drilling mud preparation when compared to standard Bentonite because they were observed to show responses far below the required API standards for mud formulation.Key words: Clay, Drilling mud, properties, Salt Concentration Reference [1] J.

The proposed dual-port BiTCAM is realized with the dual-port AND-type match-line scheme which is composed of dual -port active AND gates. The dual-port designs diminish power expenditure through supplement storage efficiency owing to shared storage spaces. In totaling, the dividable BiTCAM provides high flexibility for regularly update the virus-database.

In the recent years many studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of various locally available economical adsorbents for the removal of various heavy metals from the waste water. In the present study tea factory waste is used as adsorbent and its capacity to remove toxic heavy metals chromium and cadmium from their combined solution is investigated. Batch adsorption study is conducted to find the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent and the effect of the three important process parameters, i.e. agitation rate, adsorbent dose and initial metal ion concentration is evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacity of 24.88 mg/g and 23.92 mg/g is observed in case of cadmium and chromium respectively. It is also found that the removal efficiency of cadmium is higher than that of chromium in all cases. The experimental results are also found to be well fitted in the Langmuir and Freundlich Isotherm model.Key words: Adsorption, Tea Factory Waste, batch study, chromium, cadmium, isotherm, kinetic model.

Lossless Medical Image CompressionAbstract: Image compression has become an important process in today‟s world of information exchange. Image compression helps in effective utilization of high speed network resources. Medical Image Compression is very important in the present world for efficient archiving and transmission of images. In this paper two different approaches for lossless image compression is proposed. One uses the combination of 2D-DWT & FELICS algorithm for lossy to lossless Image Compression and another uses combination of prediction algorithm and Integer wavelet Transform (IWT). To show the effectiveness of the methodology used, different image quality parameters are measured and shown the comparison of both the approaches. We observed the increased compression ratio and higher PSNR values.Key words: Lossy Image Compression, Lossless Image Compression, 2D-DWT, IWT, FELICS, Image Quality Parameter Reference [1] Tsung-Han Tsai, Yu-Hsuan Lee, and Yu-Yu Lee, "Design and Analysis of High-Throughput Lossless Image Compression Engine using VLSI-Oriented FELICS Algorithm", IEEE trans. on VLSI Systems, Vol. 18, No.1, January 2010.

| 5. | Ultrahigh Birefringent Photonic Crystal Fiber with Ultralow Confinement Loss Ultrahigh Birefringent Photonic Crystal Fiber with Ultralow Confinement LossAbstract: A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with circular air holes in the fiber cladding and elliptical air holes in the fiber core is proposed. According to calculation, both ultrahigh birefringence (larger than 0.01) and ultralow confinement loss (less than 0.001dB/km) can be achieved simultaneously over a large wavelength range for a PCF with only four rings of circular air holes in the fiber cladding. The confinement loss in this PCF can be effectively reduced while the birefringence almost remains the same. The proposed design of the PCF is a solution to the tradeoff between the birefringence and the confinement loss for the originally reported highly birefringent elliptical-hole PCF. Moreover, an approach to modify the effective index of fiber core is also suggested in this letter.Key words: Birefringence, confinement loss, elliptical hole, photonic crystal fiber (PCF).

| 7. | Battery-Bandwidth Based Handover Framework for 3G/WLAN Using Android Handheld Devices
Battery-Bandwidth Based Handover Framework for 3G/WLAN Using Android Handheld DevicesAbstract: In a heterogeneous network environment, transparent horizontal and vertical handover is a much desired feature. Effective handover solution would allow mobile device users to stay steadily connected, seamlessly switching between different access networks. If it is consistently connected to networks which offers best Quality of Service (QoS) then that would dramatically improve user experience. Switching of network requires more device energy and also high bandwidth to guarantee the QoS. Automatic handover between 3G and WLAN networks is typically done when the current network link is going down. Current devices does not consider these two major metrics during handover. Hence, we propose a framework for creating our own custom handover solutions which could run on the clients' Android based mobile devices. To provide an example of using the framework, we implement and test our proposed framework in Android based hand held devices and showcase the improvement in QoS.Key words: 3G, Android, battery, handover, remaining energy, seamless switching, WLAN Reference [1] Shantidiv Mohanty, "A New Architecture for 3G and WLAN integration and inter-system Handover Management," Springer Science + Business Media,LLC,pp.1--13, 2006.

Cloud computing is an internet based model for enabling convenient, on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources [9]. The software and data that you access for your work doesn‟t exist on your computer instead it‟s on the server. This concept of using services not stored on your system is called Cloud Computing. In this paper, we are implementing a technique to enhance the security of cloud.

Higher Throughput and Energy Efficiency Multi-Channel MAC Protocol For Ad Hoc Network.Abstract: Traditional single-channel MAC protocols for wireless adhoc and sensor networks favor energy efficiency over throughput. More recent multi-channel MAC protocols display higher throughput but less energy efficiency. In this paper we propose EMAC, a negotiator-based multi-channel MAC protocol in which specially designated nodes maintain the sleeping and communication schedules of nodes. Negotiators facilitate the assignation of channels and coordination of communications windows, thus allowing individual nodes to sleep and save energy. Simulation results show that EMAC, at high network loads consumes less energy while providing more throughput than comparable state- of-art multi-channel MAC protocols for ad hoc networks.Reference [1] G.-S.

Modeling and Design of Five Level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter with DC/DC Boost ConverterAbstract: Power electronic converters, especially DC/AC Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation inverters have been extending their range of use in industry because of their numerous advantages. They typically synthesize the stair –case voltage waveform (from several dc sources) which has reduced harmonic content. This paper aims to extend the knowledge about the performance of Five level Cascaded H-Bridge MLI topology with DC/DC Boost Converter using SPWM for fixed DC Source. The output voltage is the sum of the voltage that is generated by each bridge. The switching angles can be chosen in such a way that the total harmonic distortion is minimized. This topology incorporates Boost Converter in the input side which magnifies the fundamental output voltage with reduction in total harmonic distortion. It also incorporates LC filter and hence output is drawn near the sine wave because of more levels. Results of experiments proved efficiency of 95%.The performance of the proposed SPWM strategy in terms of output voltage and THD has studied successfully and shown using MATLAB/Simulink.Key words: Multi level Inverter (MLI), Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM), insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) Reference [1].

Frame-Based Compressed Sensing Of Speech SignalAbstract: In this paper, compressed sensing (CS) of speech signal using Frame-based adaptive technique has been proposed. we propose 3 sampling strategies in a frame-based adaptive CS framework. The first stage is frame based adaptive CS framework. In this stage, each speech sequence is divided into non-overlapping frames and all frames in a speech sequence are processed independently. Second stage is Partial Sampling and Frame Analysis. This stage can estimate the amount of intensity changes in the two frames. Last stage is adaptive sampling was used to reconstruction the signal using orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP). In the experimental results shows that the significant improvement of speech reconstruction quality by using frame based adaptive technique compare to the non-adaptive technique.Key words: adaptive compressed sensing, speech signal, orthogonal matching pursuit.

A Evaluation of Software Re-Usability Using Software Metrics through Fuzzy LogicAbstract: flexibility and quality through reusability, replace-ability, efficient reusability and scalability are some additional benefits of Component based software development .Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is a paradigm that aims at constructing and designing systems using a pre-defined set of software components explicitly created for reuse. According to Clements, CBSE embodies the "the "buy, don‟t build‟ philosophy". The idea of reusing software components has been present in software engineering for several decades. Although the software industry developed massively in recent decades, component reuse is still facing numerous challenges and lacking adoption by practitioners. One of the impediments preventing efficient and effective reuse is the difficulty to determine which artifacts are best suited to solve a particular problem in a given context and how easy it will be to reuse them there. So far, no clear framework is describing the reusability of software and structuring appropriate metrics that can be found in literature. Nevertheless, a good understanding of reusability as well as adequate and easy to use metrics for quantification of reusability are necessary to simplify and accelerate the adoption of component reuse in software development.Key words: Software Reusability; Software Reusability Metrics; Component-Based Software Development.

Force Analysis of Geneva Wheel and Face Cam Used In AutomatAbstract: Glazerol Automat is a dedicated machine used in the Insulator pre assembly line. This automat is driven using single motor for different operations. Here the focus is on two main parts they are Geneva wheel and Face cam which are used for their respective operations. Geneva Wheel is used to index the drum which consists of 96 spindles. Due to this Geneva mechanism each of the spindles will hold the ceramic body when the drum is being indexed. Due to which there is a force which is generated in the Geneva wheel in maximum and minimum position. Face cam which is used while indexing the work piece carrier There are 2 tangential forces which are acting, one at the indexing side and the other at the driving side /cam side. The effective resultant force which is acting on the face cam while indexing work piece carrier is calculated. And these forces are analyzed using ansys and their respective Von Mises stresses and displacement plots are obtained for both the conditions based on boundary and loading conditions.Key words: Automat ,Geneva Wheel ,Face Cam , Catia V5 , Hypermesh , Ansys Reference [1] Varadarajan Vidya Department of Electrical Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Palani Kumaresan University of California, Berkeley University of California, Berkeley [2] Elearning.vtu.ac.in/P6/enotes/ME44/Unit 6-AP [3] E.J.

| 15. | A Comparative Analysis of Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate in Milling Operation of AISI 410 Steel And Aluminium 6061
A Comparative Analysis of Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate in Milling Operation of AISI 410 Steel And Aluminium 6061Abstract: Surface roughness is an important measure of product quality since it greatly influences the performance of Mechanical parts as well as production cost. Roughness plays an extensive role in demonstrating how the object will interface with the environment. The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the comparative study of Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate (MRR) of Aluminium 6061and AISI 410 Steel. In the present paper three parameters were taken to check whether quality lies within desired tolerance level. Surface roughness and MRR were taken using three different parameters of CNC machining including spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Optimization of surface roughness of aluminium 6061 and AISI 410 Steel were done using Response Surface Methodology. Response Surface Methodology is an adequate channel in which response variable can be optimized by taking several experimental runs. This paper aims to obtain an optimal setting of three milling parameters by using Carbide cutting tool in end milling operation of AISI 410 steel and Aluminium Alloy 6061 taken as specimen.Key words: AISI410Steel, Aluminium6061, ANOVA, DOE, RSM Reference [1] Vivek John and Rahul Davis (2014) an Experimental Parametric Study of the Impact of Cutting Factors on Surface Roughness of EN 19 Steel during Turning Operation, International Journal of Current Engineering and Technology.

Audio Steganography Techniques-A SurveyAbstract: we can communicate with each other by passing messages which is not secure, but we make a communication be kept secret by embedding the message into carrier or by special tools such as invisible ink, microdots etc. Steganography is the science that involves communicating secret data in an appropriate carrier which is used from hundreds of years. In digital age new techniques of hiding the data inside the carrier are invented which are known as digital steganography. Nowadays, the carrier of the message can be an image, audio, video or a text file. In this paper we have purposed a method to enhance the security level in audio steganography and also improve the quality by making 2-level steganography.Key words: Steganography, Audio steganography and its technique, Echo Hiding, Phase Coding, Parity Coding, Spread Spectrum, Tone insertion, LSB Reference [1] Artz, Donovan.

An Optimal Design of the Eddy Current Non-Destructive Testing Sensor for Special Geometries of Conducting MaterialsAbstract: Non-destructive eddy current testing technic is more and more exploited because it is quick and none contacting into the inspected materials. In order to increase the signal sensing of non-destructive eddy current testing sensors, we are going to propose an optimal design of coil sensor. This optimization needs to construct a tilted cross section coil according to the tested piece geometry. In our simulations, the finite-element method has been exploited for geometrical and physical modelling. For the extraction of our results, a finite-element method code was built in COMSOL with MATLAB. In this paper we compare the tilted cross section coil with a rectangular cross section coil. To obtain the influence of the coil shape on the sensitivity of eddy current sensor, we use the relationship between the impedance changes and the sensor displacement in the two cases of comparison.Key words: non-destructive eddy current testing, crack detection, impedance change, finite-element method, design optimization.

PTC Oxidation of Alcohols: Design of ExperimentsAbstract: Factorial design approach helps in better experimentation of the process. This approach was used in the phase transfer catalytic oxidation of n-amyl alcohol and n-hexanol by potassium permanganate under heterogeneous conditions. Tricapryl methyl ammonium chloride (Aliquat 336) was used as the phase transfer catalyst. A baffled batch reactor was used for the studies. The rate of oxidation/reaction was determined by changing the concentration of alcohol, concentration of the catalyst and temperature. Two values, a high and low of these parameters/factors were fixed which entails to a 23 factorial design approach. This leads to eight treatment combinations of the experiments. These treatment combinations include main effects of the factors/parameters (concentration of alcohol, concentration of catalyst, temperature) and the interaction effects among these factors. For both the systems, the rate of oxidation was found to be dependent on the main effects. A regression model was fit and the response surface is plotted.Key words: Phase transfer catalyst, Aliquat 336, n-Amyl alcohol. n-Hexanol.

Planning and Scheduling of High Rise Building Using PrimaveraAbstract: Although the long-introduced Industrialized Building System (IBS) has promised to solve and improve the current construction method and scenario in our country, but the IBS method has not gained enough popularity. One of the reasons is due to lack of research works done to quantifying the benefit of IBS especially in construction time saving. In lieu with such scenario, this study conducted to quantify evidence of time saving in IBS application. The methodology adopted for this study is by modelling the construction process for high-rise residential building for both conventional and IBS with shared more a less the same nature and size of the structure. The model was developed using Primavera (P3) project planning software. The comparison was made by comparing selective building components for both method of construction. Different high-rise residential projects have been selected for this study. The result of the study clearly indicated that sufficient time saving can be archived. Also from this study shown not all IBS components can improved to the overall construction duration, however by adopting IBS components can improve and expedite the construction of 18 stories residential building from the point of departure of the project throughout of the whole of project's with a total 405 days or 42% the time saving.Key words: Planning, Scheduling, High Rise Building, Primavera Reference [1] Bannet, J. and Grice, A., Procurement Systems for Building, Quantity Surveying Techniques, New Directions, United Kingdom: (ed P.S Brandon), BSD Professional Books, 1990, Oxford.

| 25. | Onsite Waste Water Treatment System
Onsite Waste Water Treatment SystemAbstract: Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) have evolved from the pit privies used widely throughout history to installations capable of producing a disinfected effluent that is fit for human consumption. Although achieving such a level of effluent quality is seldom necessary, the ability of onsite systems to remove settles able solids, floatable grease and scum, nutrients, and pathogens. From wastewater discharges defines their importance in protecting human health and environmental resources. In the modern era, the typical onsite system has consisted primarily of a septic tank and a soil absorption field, also known as a subsurface wastewater infiltration system, or SWIS. In this manual, such systems are referred to as conventional systems. Septic tanks remove most settle able and floatable material and function as an anaerobic bioreactor that promotes partial digestion of retained organic matter. Septic tank effluent, which contains significant concentrations of pathogens and nutrients, has traditionally been discharged to soil, sand, or other media absorption fields (SWISs) for further treatment through biological processes, adsorption, filtration, and infiltration into underlying soils. Conventional systems work well if they are installed in areas with appropriate soils and hydraulic capacities; designed to treat the incoming waste load to meet public health, ground water, and surface water performance standards; installed properly; and maintained to ensure long-term performance. These criteria, however, are often not met. Only about one-third of the land area in the United States has soils suited for conventional subsurface soil absorption fields. System densities in some areas exceed the capacity of even suitable soils to assimilate wastewater flows and retain and transform their contaminants. In addition, many systems are located too close to ground water or surface waters and others, particularly in rural areas with newly installed public water lines, are not designed to handle increasing wastewater flows.Key words: Septic tank effluent, SWIS, Conventional systems, wastewater flows.

Effect Of Sewage Farming On Ground WaterAbstract: This chapter provides background information on treated effluent discharges and the associated risks to groundwater. The emphasis is on discharges to constructed sub-surface drainage fields, but the general principles can also be applied to discharges to the land surface (for example, infiltration sustainable drainage systems). A classification of the effluent types (domestic or trade) covered by this guidance is given.EPR has allowed us to look again at our definition of 'domestic sewage' and change to the one based on the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) definition and in the case of the Water Industry Act 1991 (WIA), case law. Domestic sewage includes wastes arising from normal domestic activities wherever these are carried out. Therefore, sewage from schools, restaurants, takeaways, holiday parks and nursing homes is domestic. Determining whether a discharge contains trade effluent should not involve a detailed audit of the substances used by an applicant on a particular site. If the effluent is broadly of a domestic nature it is domestic sewage. If a significant proportion of the waste generated by a commercial enterprise is different from that found in a normal home then it becomes a mixture of domestic sewage and trade effluent.Key words: Effect, Sewage Farming, Ground Water, Septic-Tank Effluent , Ground-Water ,Quality Reference [1].

| 27. | Analysis Of Highway Air Pollution
Analysis Of Highway Air PollutionAbstract: The traffic is growing at rapid rate in urban areas of India and the management of traffic operations on the limited road network of the cities has become a gigantic task to the concerned authorities. Despite the concerted efforts of concerned authorities aimed at augmenting road infrastructure, traffic congestion is continuing to increase leading to environmental degradation. Eventually, a major study was commissioned by the Government of India to quantify urban travel by road and associated air pollutants coming from automobile exhausts in eight cities namely, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kanpur and Agra. The main objective was to make an accurate assessment of total number of vehicles and develop database and techniques to estimate road traffic and pollution loads in each city. This paper describes operating characteristics of traffic and quantification of traffic and air pollution loads (base and horizon year) on major road network of Chennai city. Comparatively urbanization is moderate in India. This is because the major contributor to the Indian economy is agriculture and it is rural based. As per the Census of India 2001, the urban population of India is around 28 percent of the total population. This proportion of urban population has grown from ten percent in 1901 to twenty eight percent in 2001. The disturbing aspect of the urbanization trends in India is the skewed distribution of the urban population. Nearly seventy percent of the urban population is located in Class-I cities (i.e. population of 100 Thousand and above). Further, 38 percent of the total urban population is located in metropolitan cities (i.e. population of 1 million and above) numbering about thirty-five. This heavy concentration of population in a few centers has resulted in the expansion of cities in density as well as area.Key words: Cauvery Irrigation System, cropping intensity, Hydrologic analysis, Irrigation systems in Tamilnadu .crop yield.

| 28. | Microbial Analysis of Drinking Water And Water Distribution System
Microbial Analysis of Drinking Water And Water Distribution SystemAbstract: The discharge of wastes from municipal sewers is one of the most important water quality issues world-wide. It is of particular significance to sources of drinking-water. Municipal sewage contains human faeces and water contaminated with these effluents may contain pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms and, consequently, may be hazardous to human health if used as drinking-water or in food preparation. Faecal contamination of water is routinely detected by microbiological analysis. It is impractical to attempt the routine isolation of pathogens because they are present in relatively small numbers compared with other types of micro-organism. Moreover, there are many types of pathogen and each requires a unique microbiological isolation technique. The approach that has been adopted is to analyse for indicator organisms that inhabit the gut in large numbers and are excreted in human faeces. The presence of these indicator organisms in water is evidence of faecal contamination and, therefore, of a risk that pathogens are present. If indicator organisms are present in large numbers, the contamination is considered to be recent and/or severe. Bacteria in water are, in general, not present individually, but as clumps or in association with particulate matter. When enumerating bacteria in water it is not the number of individual bacteria present which are counted, but the number of clumps of bacteria or the particles and their associated bacteria.

Bio-Degradable Plastics Impact On EnvironmentAbstract: The potential of biodegradable polymers and more particularly that of polymers obtained from renewable resources such as the polysaccharides (e.g., starch) have long been recognized. However, these biodegradable polymers have been largely used in some applications (e.g., food industry) and have not found extensive applications in the packaging industries to replace conventional plastic materials, although they could be an interesting way to overcome the limitation of the petrochemical resources in the future. The fossil fuel and gas could be partially replaced by greener agricultural sources, which should participate in the reduction of CO2 emissions. Bio-based and biodegradable plastics can form the basis for environmentally preferable, sustainable alternative to current materials based exclusively on petroleum feed stocks. These bio-based materials offer value in the sustainability/life-cycle equation by being a part of the biological carbon cycle, especially as it relates to carbon-based polymeric materials such as plastics, water soluble polymers and other carbon based products like lubricants, biodiesel, and detergents. Identification and quantification of bio based content uses radioactive C-14 signature. Biopolymers are generally capable of being utilized by living matter (biodegraded), and so can be disposed in safe and ecologically sound ways through disposal processes (waste management) like composting, soil application, and biological wastewater treatment. Single use, short-life, disposable products can be engineered to be bio-based and biodegradable.Key words: CO2 emissions, life-cycle equation , biodegraded. Plastics Reference [1]. Aliani, S., A.

Precesion Agriculture for Drip Irrigation Using Microcontroller and GSM TechnologyAbstract: Drip irrigation is now a common phenomenon gaining popularity especially in the states like Rajasthan where water scarcity is a day to day affair. For drip irrigation a small over head water tank in used which supply water to the drip system. Usually the geographic systems as well as the cost do not permit a bigger tank. This tank generally gets vacated and a farmer needs to be always attentive to refill the over head tank from his well or cannel by an electric pump, mostly this need arises in the night as the availability of power is not whole day. This involved a lot of risk and cost on the part of farmer. The simple and low cost gadget that has been work upon, not only control the starting and stopping of motor by sending a simple SMS through a GSM mobile but also gets the return SMS showing level of water in overhead tank. The application of the gadget is not only limited to the use for a farmer & but can be beneficial for any process industry in which level of a chemical or any liquid need to be crucially controlled and monitored from far end, may be even from the home of a supervisor with no constraints of time or place for controlling the operations.Key words: GSM Drive ,Microcontroller AT89s52, Sensors,.

A Detailed Study of Cbr Method for Flexible Pavement DesignAbstract: As per IRC recommendation, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of subgrade is used for design of flexible pavements. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value is an important soil parameter for design of flexible pavements and runway of air fields. It can also be used for determination of sub grade reaction of soil by using correlation. It is one of the most important engineering properties of soil for design of sub grade of roads. CBR value of soil may depends on many factors like maximum dry density (MDD), optimum moisture content (OMC), liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), plasticity index (PI), type of soil, permeability of soil etc. Besides, soaked or unsoaked condition of soil also affects the value. These tests can easily be performed in the laboratory. the estimation of the CBR could be done on the basis of these tests which are quick to perform, less time consuming and cheap, then it will be easy to get the information about the strength of subgrade over the length of roads, By considering this aspect, a number of investigators in the past made their investigations in this field and designed different pavements by determining the CBR value on the basis of results of low cost, less time consuming and easy to perform tests. In this study, attempts have been made to seek the values of CBR of different soil samples and correlate their CBR values for the design purpose of flexible pavement as per guidelines of IRC: SP: 37-2001.Key words: California Bearing Ratio, correlation, soaked, unsoaked, flexible pavemet.

Removal of Copper from Simulated Wastewater Using Pongamia Pinnata Seed Shell as AdsorbentAbstract: The adsorption process is being widely used by various researchers for the removal of toxic metals from waste streams and activated carbon has been frequently used as an adsorbent. Despite its extensive use in the water and wastewater treatment industries, activated carbon remains an expensive material. In recent years, the need for safe and economical methods for the elimination of toxic metals from contaminated waters has necessitated research interest towards the production of low cost alternatives to commercially available activated carbon. Presence of copper in the water used for various activities affects living beings in its own way depending on its concentration. Considering the effects of high dose of copper concentration on humans and animals, it is important to remove this metal ion from industrial effluent before discharge to environmental stream. In this regard Pongamia pinnata seed shell is proven to be an effective and promising adsorbent. Removal of copper ion from aqueous and industrial waste water depends on pH, concentration of metal ion, concentration of adsorbent, contact time and agitation. Equilibrium adsorption data was tested for the Langmuir equation. Adsorption isotherm studies indicated that Langmuir model fits better for the present case.Key words: Adsorption, copper ion, Pongamia pinnata seed shell, adsorption isotherm. Reference [1] Kafia M.

Design and Analysis of Hybrid Composite Lap Joint Using FEMAbstract: In 1909 Ritz developed an effective method for the approximate solution of problems in the mechanics of deformable solids. It includes an approximation of energy functional by the known functions with unknown coefficients. Minimization of functional in relation to each unknown leads to the system of equations from which the unknown coefficients may be determined. One from the main restrictions in the Ritz method is that functions used should satisfy to the boundary conditions of the problem. In 1943 Courant considerably increased possibilities of the Ritz method by introduction of the special linear functions defined over triangular regions and applied the method for the solution of torsion problems. As unknowns, the values of functions in the node points of triangular regions were chosen.Key words: FEM, FEM development, Zienkiewicz. hybrid composite lap joint Reference [1] K.N. Anyfantis, N.G.

Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Column with Fiber Reinforced Polymer BarsAbstract: In this paper, the results of an analytical investigation on the behaviour of RC columns reinforced with fibber reinforced polymer bars FRP are presented and discussed. Nonlinear finite element analysis on 10-column specimens was achieved by using ANSYS software. The nonlinear finite element analysis program ANSYS is utilized owing to its capabilities to predict either the response of reinforced concrete columns in the post-elastic range or the ultimate strength of a reinforced concrete columns reinforced by FRP bars.

Messaging and Voice Conferencing through Wi-Fi NetworkAbstract: The use of Wi-Fi enabled android phones as IP phones, and their communication within a local wireless LAN is discussed in this paper. This proposed model is a form of telecommunication that allows exchange of data and voice via Wi-Fi network. The phones, which are Wi-Fi enabled and have android operating system, can be used to communicate with each other through the Wi-Fi communication channel. Proposed system incorporates messaging (Text and voice), conferencing (group conversation) and file sharing services through the Wi-Fi network. When users enters the Wi-Fi network, proposed system displays the list of other users they are having this system on their mobile in that network. Using the system services, user can communicate with other user by exchanging packets to IP address of destination user, with the condition that both communicating person should be in same Wi-Fi network. The proposed system allows communication through Wi-Fi which requires neither any internet connectivity nor any service from the service providers. In this paper, the proposed system shall eliminate the usage of service providers for short-distance calls and decreases the cost that gets accrued in the consumer's monthly bill. This system allows free conferencing, file sharing and messaging services within the Wi-Fi network that will greatly reduce the communication cost in large organizations.Key words: Messaging, File sharing, Conferencing, Wi-Fi, Android, IP address Reference [1] Intranet Based Messaging Service on Android Smart phones and Tablets International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science and Software Engineering (Volume 3, Issue 7, July 2013).

| 4. | Novel Genetic Algorithm Based Solutions for Optimal Power Flow under Contingency Conditions
Novel Genetic Algorithm Based Solutions for Optimal Power Flow under Contingency ConditionsAbstract: Power system throughout the world is undergoing tremendous changes and developments due to rapid Restructuring, Deregulation and Open-access policies. Greater liberalization, larger market and increasing dependency on the electricity lead to the system operators to work on limited spinning reserve and to operate on vicinities to maximize the economy compromising on the reliability and security of the system for greater profits, which lead to establishment of a monitoring authority and accurate electronic system to prevent any untoward incidents like Blackouts. In any power system, unexpected outages of lines or transformers occur due to faults or other disturbances. These events may cause significant overloading of transmission lines or transformers, which in turn may lead to a viability crisis of the power system. The main role of power system control is to maintain a secure system state, i.e., to prevent the power system, moving from secure state into emergency state over the widest range of operating conditions. Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF) is major tool used to improve the security of the system. In this work, Genetic algorithm has been used to solve the OPF and SCOPF problems. As initial effort conventional GA (binary coded) based OPF and SCOPF is going to be attempted. The difficulties of binary coded GA in handling continuous search space lead to the evolution of real coded GA‟s. Solutions obtained using both the algorithms are compared. Case studies are made on the IEEE30 bus test system to demonstrate the ability of real coded GA in solving the OPF and SCOPF problems.Key words: Optimal Power Flow(OPF), Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow(SCOPF), Genetic Algorithm(GA).

| 6. | Integration of JAM and JADE Architecture in Distributed Data Mining System
Integration of JAM and JADE Architecture in Distributed Data Mining SystemAbstract: Data mining systems is used to discover patterns and extract useful information from facts recorded in databases. Knowledge can be acquired from database by using machine learning algorithm which compute descriptive representations of the data as well as patterns that may be exhibited in the data. Most of the current generation of learning algorithms, however, are computationally complex and require all data to be resident in main memory which is clearly untenable for many realistic problems and databases. The main focus of this work is on the management of machine learning programs with the capacity to travel between computer sites to mine the local data. This paper describes the system architecture of JAM (Java Agents for Meta-learning), a distributed data mining system that scales up to large and physically separated data sets. In a single repository data base where data is stored in central site, then applying data mining algorithms on these data base, patterns are extracted, which is clearly implausible and untenable for many realistic problems and databases. To deal with these complex systems has revealed opportunities to improve distributed data mining systems in a number of ways.This paper describes the system architecture of JAM (Java Agents for Meta-learning), a distributed data mining system that scales up to large and physically separated data sets JAM is an extensible agent-based distributed data mining system that supports dispatch and exchange of agents among participating data sites and meta-learning techniques to combine the multiple models that are learned.

Discrimination Discovery and Prevention in Data Mining: A SurveyAbstract: Data Mining is the computation process of discovering knowledge or patterns in large data sets. But extract knowledge without violation such as privacy and non-discrimination is most difficult and challenging. This is mainly because of data mining techniques such as classification rules are actually learned by the system from the training data and training data sets itself are biased in what regards discriminatory (sensitive) attributes like gender, race, religion, etc. As a result actual discovery of discrimination situations, practices may be extremely difficult task. The focus of this paper is to provide a brief survey of the researcher's works on discrimination discovery and prevention in the field of data mining.Key words: Discrimination Discovery, Discrimination Measure, Data Mining, Discrimination Prevention, Preprocessing Technique Reference [1] C.

| 11. | Performance Analysis of STATCOM under Various Line Faults
Performance Analysis of STATCOM under Various Line FaultsAbstract: Reactive power control using the static compensator (STATCOM) has more advantageous due to outstanding performance of STATCOM. In transmission and distribution systems, the reactive power control is done by using the STATCOM based on voltage source converter (VSC).STATCOM can supply large amount of VAR's during system faults for voltage support. The STATCOM effects the VSC over currents and trips, during the power system faults when VAR's support is more required. In this paper, we propose and develop an "emergency PWM" strategy to prevent over-currents (and trips) in the VSC during and after single line to ground system faults, LLLG faults and to ensure that the STATCOM supplies required reactive power. System performance during a nonlinear load connected without any fault is also considered. The Simulation results are shown for a 48-pulse VSC based ± 100 MVAR STATCOM connected to a 2- bus power strategy to prevent VSC over-currents and to supply required reactive power under line to ground system faults.Key words: Voltage Source Converter (VSC), STATCOM, Emergency Pulse-width Modulation (PWM), Single line to ground fault.

Experimental Evaluation of the Local Packing Distributed Dynamic Channel Allocation Strategy Application for AI-Madar Telephone Telecommunication Network in LibyaAbstract: The great challenge of the remarkably growing demand for personal communication mobile service in Libya has actively motivated Al-Madar Telephone Telecommunication Company to adopt various techniques in order to substantially improve its network capacity. An efficient allocation strategy of communication channels that could ensure good performance of the cellular network is critically needed, given the limited spectrum currently available that uses the Fixed Channel Allocation (FCA) strategy. In this study, experimental investigations were conducted to improve Al-Madar Company network by proposing the evaluation of the adoption of the Local Packing Distributed Dynamic Channel Allocation (LP-DDCA) strategy. The main reasons for proposing the adoption of the LP-DDCA strategy are; to minimize the call blocking probability, enhancing the network performance and increasing the number of network subscribers. This work has been done by applying actual data from an existing cellular network of Al-Madar Company in to the experimental simulation program. The results demonstrated clearly the superiority of the proposed the LP-DDCA strategy in the investigated locations (cells) compared with the currently used FCA strategy. Conclusion: Application of the LP-DDCA strategy could give rise to substantial improvement in Al-Madar telecommunication mobile network performance and it will considerably increase the number of network subscribers.Key words: The Local Packing Distributed Dynamic Channel Allocation strategy, Call blocking probability, Al-Madar Company, Mobile Cellular Communication, Mobile Telecommunication Network capacity.

Electromagnetic Field Analysis of the Performance of Single-Phase Capacitor-Run Induction Motor Using Composite Rotor ConductorAbstract: Single-phase induction motor (SPIM) has very crucial role in industrial, domestic and commercial sectors. So, the efficient SPIM is a major requirement of today's market. For efficient motors, many research methodologies and suggestions have been given by researchers in past. Various parameters like as stator/rotor slot variation, size and shape of stator/rotor slots, stator/rotor winding configuration, choice of core material etc. have significant impact on machine design. Rotor slot geometry influences the distribution of the magnetic field to a degree. Even a little difference of the magnetic field distribution can make big difference on the performance of the induction motor. The rotor slot geometry influences the skin effect and slot leakage flux in order to increase the torque and efficiency. In this paper, three types of rotor slot configurations are designed and simulated with different rotor slot configuration and rotor bars composition by changing the rotor slot configuration of base model. Aluminum and Copper are used simultaneously as rotor winding material. The rotor bar is a composite conductor which carries Aluminum as well as Copper sub-conductors running parallel in the same slot. Overall cross section area of rotor bar in each model kept same and work is carried out with difference proportion of Aluminum and Copper sub conductors. All models are investigated and simulated in FEMM and finally the simulated results are compared for optimal solution.Key words: Single-Phase induction motor, rotor winding, rotor geometry, composite conductor, FEMM.

Evaluation of the Influence of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Nutrients in the Culture and Production ofbiosurfactants by MicroalgaSpirulinaAbstract: The aim of this study was to verify the influence of phosphorus and nitrogen nutrients in the culture and production of biosurfactants by Spirulina platensis LEB 52,Spirulina platensisParacas and Spirulina sp. LEB 18. For this, experiments were performed using Full Factorial Design 22 to evaluate the influence of phosphorus and nitrogen nutrients on the maximum biomass concentration and maximum productivity in the cultures, as well as in production biosurfactant by extracts derived from microalgae through surface tension measurements. The Spirulina platensis LEB 52 provided higher biomass production when compared with the Spirulina platensis LEB 52 andSpirulina platensisParacas, but the phosphorus and nitrogen variables showed no significant influence on the maximum biomass concentration and maximum productivity. The resultds showed that Spirulina sp. LEB 18 was more favorable for the production of biosurfactants in relation to the others strains, because it presented an extract with a surface tension measurement of 31.2 mN.m-1 in a culture performed with higher concentrations of nitrogen (412 mg.L-1) and without the addition of phosphorus.Key words: biomass, cyanobacterium, surfactant.

Aggregation Mechanism for Reducing Schedule Length in Tree Based Wireless Sensor NetworksAbstract: To Explore and evaluate different techniques using real simulation models under multilevel communication paradigm. Data packets are time scheduled on single frequency channel by minimizing the time slots to complete a CONVERGECAST. Scheduling with transmission power control will diminish the effects of interference. The power control helps in reducing the schedule length under single frequency. Scheduling transmissions using multiple frequencies is more efficient than the single frequency. By providing power bounds in the schedule length interference is eliminated. The proposed algorithm can achieve these bounds. The use of multi frequency scheduling is sufficient to eliminate the interference. The data collection is no longer limited by the interference. To provide a proper solution degree-constrained spanning trees and minimal spanning trees are created. This will provide a significant improvement in scheduling performance. Finally, in a schedule length, the collisions in different interference over different channel models have been evaluated.Key words: Degree-Constrained Routing Trees,Data Centric Approach, Greedy Aggregation, contention-based vs. contention free protocols, DAC tree construction algorithms, Unit Disk Graphs (UDG) Reference [1] A.

Performance Enhancement of Multi-Output Carry Look-Ahead Cmos CsaAbstract: Carry Select Adder (CSA) is solitary of the best ever adders worn in numerous data-processing processors to complete speedy arithmetic functions. From the construction of the CSA, it is lucid that there is scope for sinking the vicinity and clout burning up in the CSA. This adder is based on both a static and compact multi-output carry look-ahead (CSA) circuitof highly area-efficient CMOS carry-select adder (CSA) with a regular and iterative-shared transistor structure very suitable for implementation in VLSI and a very simple select circuit. Comparisons with other representative 32-bit CSAs show that the proposed adder reduces the area. This paper uses a easy and proficient gate-level amendment to drastically diminish the vicinity and power of the CSA. Based on this modification different square-root CSA (SQRT CSA) constructions have been developed and compared with the customary square-root architecture. The projected intend has reduced vicinity and power as compared with the regular Square Root CSA with only a slight increase in the delay. In this paper, conventional CSA is compared with Modified Carry select adder (MCSA), Regular Square Root CSLA (SQRT CSA), Modified SQRT CSA and Proposed SQRT CSA in terms of area, delay and power consumption. The result analysis shows that the proposed structure is better than the conventional CSA.Key words: delay, area , SQRT CSA, VLSI, CMOS, Reference [1] N. Weste and K.

Cosine Transform-II and Partial Transmit Sequence Techniques
Mitigation of PAPR in OFDM Using the Combination of Discrete Cosine Transform-II and Partial Transmit Sequence TechniquesAbstract: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a peculiar case of multicarrier transmission technique for high speed data transmission over multipath fading channels. The high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is one of the most detrimental aspects in the OFDM system, as it degrades the efficiency of the power amplifier in the transmitter. Discrete Cosine Transform-II (DCT-II) is a less complex and distortion less method used to mitigate the PAPR. In this paper, a combination of Discrete Cosine Transform-II and Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) is used to reduce the PAPR of the transmitted OFDM signal and results are compared with DCT-II and normal OFDM signal. Simulation results show that the combination of DCT-II and PTS shows better PAPR reduction.Key words: CCDF, DCT-II, OFDM, PAPR, PTS Reference [1] Y. Wu and W. Y.

Crack Identification in Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Ansys SoftwareAbstract: Analytical determination of displacements and stresses in reinforced concrete material was difficult task and engineers had to rely on empirical formulas because concrete consists of heterogeneous material and creep and shrinkage influenced deformations in it. Due to these complexities engineers in past had been facing difficulties in coping such problems, but with the advancement of digital computerization and modern numerical methods for analysis such as finite element method, these problems can be addressed in a very efficient way. There were two ways to carry out modelling in ANSYS software, one was smeared approach and the other one was discrete. In the past, Smeared approach was used to identify the cracks in RC beam using ANSYS but in this work it was extended using discrete approach of modelling and shear cracks were identified in RC beam and load deflection curve was simulated which showed good agreement with the experimental results. Beams, made of brittle materials like concrete or cement, show increasing crack development during their service life due to mechanical and environmental loadings. This local damage can be translated into a reduction of the local bending stiffness. Stiffness modifications, while assuming constant mass distribution, can be observed by monitoring the vibration behaviour of the beam. In this paper the modal parameters of an undamaged beam are monitored and compared with the vibration behaviour of the beam subjected to controlled damaging. Selected stiffness parameters in the finite element model are adjusted in such a way that the computed modal quantities match the measured quantities. FEMtools has been used to establish a damage distribution in beams associated with increasing stress patterns. State of the art scanning laser modal equipment has been used for this purpose. It has been found that modal updating is indeed a possible tool to reconstruct the damage patterns.Key words: Crack Identification, Reinforced Concrete Beams, Ansys Software Reference [1]. M. Y. H.

Fem Modelling and Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Section with Light Weight Blocks InfillAbstract: In an attempt to reduce the self weight of reinforced concrete structures, a new development of lightweight sandwich reinforced concrete (LSRC) section has been proposed as an alternative option to solid section. LSRC section is a reinforced concrete section which contains lightweight blocks as infill material. An experimental investigation into the strength of LSRC beams has shown promising results under flexural tests. To ensure the serviceability of LSRC members under service load, it is necessary to accurately predict the cracking and deflection of this section. This paper will focus on analysing the behaviour of the tested beam specimens after cracking occurs. ANSYS 12.1 was employed to study the crack propagation of LSRC beams under bending. The numerical model shows the crack in the area of AAC blocks which associates with the brittle failure of LSRC beams. The crack propagation of the beams analysed by ANSYS agrees well with the results from the experimental investigation. In structural design, an ideal situation in material saving is to reduce the weight of the structure without having to compromise on its strength and serviceability. A new lightweight sandwich reinforced concrete section has been developed with a novel use of lightweight concrete as infill material. The section, namely LSRC section, is suitable for use as beam or slab members. Experimental investigations into the strength of beams with LSRC section shows promising results under both flexural and shear tests. Based on the test results, the flexural capacity of LSRC beams was found to be almost identical to the capacity of the equivalent solid beam. The shear capacity of the LSRC beams was expectedly reduced due to the low compressive strength of the lightweight concrete infill material. ANSYS 12.1 was employed to develop three dimensional nonlinear finite element models of LSRC beams and was verified against the experimental results.Key words: Fem Modelling, Analysis, Reinforced Concrete Section, Light Weight Blocks Infill Reference [1].

Dynamic Analysis of Flanged Shear Wall Using Staad ProAbstract: Earthquakes demonstrate vulnerability of various inadequate structures, every time they occur. The lessons taught from the aftermath of earthquakes and the research works being carried out in laboratories give better understanding about the performance of the structure and their components. Damage in reinforced concrete structures was mainly attributed to the inadequate detailing of reinforcement, lack of transverse steel and confinement of concrete in structural elements. Typical failures were brittle in nature, demonstrating inadequate capacity to dissipate and absorb inelastic energy. This necessitates a better understanding of the design and detailing of the reinforced concrete structures under various types of loading. An extensive description of previous studies on the underlying theory and the application of the finite element method to the linear and nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures is presented in excellent state of-the-art reports by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1982 [ASCE 1982]. The results from the FEA are significantly relied on the stress-strain relationship of the materials, failure criteria chosen, simulation of the crack of concrete and the interaction of the reinforcement and concrete.Because of these complexity in short- and long-term behavior of the constituent materials, the ANSYS finite element program introduces a three-dimensional element Solid65 which is capable of cracking and crushing and is then combined along with models of the interaction between the two constituents to describe the behavior of the composite reinforced concrete material. Although the Solid 65 can describe the reinforcing bars, this study uses an additional element, Link8, to investigate the stress along the reinforcement because it is inconvenient to collect the smear rebar data from Solid 65.Key words: Dynamic Analysis, Flanged Shear Wall, Staad Pro Reference [1].

| 26. | Analysis of Three Dimensional Horizontal Reinforced Concrete Curved Beam Using Ansys
Analysis of Three Dimensional Horizontal Reinforced Concrete Curved Beam Using AnsysAbstract: Reinforced concrete horizontally curved beams are extensively used in many fields, such as in the construction of modern highway intersections, elevated freeways, the rounded corners of buildings, circular balconies,….etc. In some of these cases, large depths are needed for curved beams in order to resist high loads or to fulfill some aesthetic purposes. The analytical analysis of such members is very complex due to the fact that those members are subjected to combined action of bending, shear and torsion. Furthermore, non homogeneous nature of the materials involved contributes to the complexity of the problem. Therefore, it becomes necessary to employ numerical analysis procedures, such as the finite element method, to satisfy the safety and the economy requirements.A horizontally curved beam, loaded transversely to its plane, is subjected to torsion in addition to bending and shear. Furthermore, in deep beam the plane section does not remain plane after bending because of high stresses and warping occurs. Therefore, special features of analysis and design for horizontally curved deep beams is necessary to include the effect of above mentioned factors. Several methods of collapse analysis (Khalifa 1972, Jordaan et al. 1974, Badawy et al. 1977, Hsu et al. 1978, and Abul Mansur and Rangan 1981. ) were proposed for analysis of specific cases of reinforced concrete curved beams. However, till yet studies concerning reinforced concrete horizontally curved deep beams are rare. At present, with the application of digital computers beside the development of numerical methods, the mathematical difficulties associated with curved deep beam have been largely overcome. One of the most effective numerical methods utilized for analyzing reinforced concrete members is the finite element method. Using this method, many aspects of the phenomenological behaviour of reinforced concrete structures can be modelled rationally. These aspects include the tension-stiffening, non-linear multiaxial material properties, modelling of cracking and crushing, and many other properties related to the behaviour of reinforced concrete members under stresses. An important utilization of the finite element method is the modelling of the degradation of concrete compressive strength in the presence of transverse tensile straining as happens in members subjected dominantly to torsion or shear stresses. Therefore, the present study adopted a three dimensional non-linear finite element model to investigate the behaviour and the load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete horizontally curved deep beams.Key words: Analysis , Three Dimensional, Horizontal Reinforced Concrete, Curved Beam, Ansys Reference [1].

A Comparative Analysis of LS and MMSE Channel Estimation Techniques for MIMO-OFDM SystemAbstract: Multiple transmit and receive antennas can be used to form multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels to increase the capacity by a factor of the minimum number of transmit and receive antennas. In this paper, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for MIMO channels (MIMO-OFDM) is considered for wideband transmission to mitigate intersymbol interference and enhance system capacity. In this paper performance analysis of channel estimation through different algorithms for estimating channel using BPSK modulation scheme are investigated for different channel delay spread. The estimation of channel at pilot frequencies is based on Least Square, Minimum mean square channel estimation algorithm. We have compared the performances of these two channel estimation algorithm by measuring bit error rate Vs SNR. Minimum Mean Square estimation has been shown to perform much better than Least Square channel estimation algorithm.Key words: Delay Profile, Channel Estimation, Least Square, MIMO-OFDM, Minimum Mean Square Reference [1] H.

Preparation and Characterization of Ti3+ & Cr3+:Li2O-LiF-B2O3-ZnO Optical GlassesAbstract: A transparent base glass in the chemical composition Li2O-LiF-B2O3-ZnO (LBZ) has successfully been prepared also a couple of transition metal (Ti3+ & Cr3+) ions doped into this glass matrix have also been done for their further analysis. Structural (XRD, FTIR & Raman) and thermal (TG-DTA) properties and also absorption spectrum of LBZ glass have been analyzed. Optical absorption, photoluminescence (excitation & emission) spectra of Ti3+ & Cr3+:Li2O-LiF- B2O3-ZnO and their spectral assignments, dielectric ( & tan) and conductivities (ac & dc) have also been undertaken. The XRD profile of the host glass confirms its amorphous nature. Weight loss in the precursor sample powder, glass transition temperature (Tg) and crystalline temperature (Tc) have been identified from the TG-DTA profiles. FTIR and Raman spectra of the host glass show vibrational bands of B-O from [BO3] and [BO4] units and Li-O. The absorption spectrum of Cr3+: LBZ glass has shown two bands at 412 nm (4A2g (F) T1g (F)) and 579 nm (4A2g (F) 4T2g (F)). In respect of Ti3+: LBZ glass, only one broad band at 490 nm (2B2g2B1g) has been measured. From the optical absorption spectral positions, their crystal field (Dq) and the Racah (B & C) interaction parameters have been evaluated. Dielectric constant and losses (' and tan) of all three glasses have been studied in the frequency range from 1Hz to 1M Hz at room temperature and computed conductivities (ac and dc).Key words: Cr3+ & Ti3+ glasses and Dielectric analysis Reference [1] S.M.

Quality Costs (IRR) Impact on Lot Size Considering Work in Process InventoryAbstract: Economic order quantity model and production quantity model assume that production processes are error free. However, variations exist in processes which result in imperfection particularly in high machining environments. Processes variations result in nonconformitiesthat increase quality costs in the form of rework, rejects and quality control techniques implementations to ensure quality product delivery. This paper is an attempt towards development of inventory model which incorporate inspection, rework, and rejection (IRR) quality costs in optimum lot size calculation focusing work in process inventory. Mathematical model is derived for optimum lot size based on minimum average cost function using analytical approach. This new developed model (GTOQIRR) assume an imperfect production environment. Numerical examples are used to visualize the significant effect of quality cost in the proposed model in comparison to the previously developed models. The proposed model is highly recommendable for quality based high machining manufacturing environments considering work in process inventories.Key words: WIP inventory; EOQ model; quality cost; lot size; GTOQ model.

Speed Ratio Prediction and Performance Analysis of Single Ball Traction Drive for CVTAbstract: Drives are basically used to transmit power and speed from the prime mover to the machine. The power transmission and speed reduction between the prime-mover and the driven machine can be achieved by using conventional drives like Belt drive, Rope drive, Chain drive, Gears, etc. with their numerous advantages and disadvantages. There are many machines and mechanical units that under varying circumstances make it desirable to be able to drive at a barely perceptible speed, an intermediate speed or a high speed. Thus an infinitely variable (step less) speed variation in which it is possible to get any desirable speed. Some mechanical, hydraulic, drives serve as such step less drives. However the torque versus speed characteristics of these drives do not match torque at low speeds. Hence the need of a step less or infinitely variable speed drive came into existence. The drive presented by the end of this research work is single ball traction drive for continuously variable transmission systems. Dissertation includes the brief history of existing drives, speed prediction methodology and performance analysis of the drive developed.Key words: Analysis, Ball, CVT, IVT, Traction Reference [1] Abu-Jadayil W.M. and Mohsen M.S., "Design and Manufacturng of Self Actuating Traction Drives with Solid and Hollow Rollers", Jordan Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Volume 4, Number 4, September 2010 [2] Bdran S., Saifullah S. and Shuyuan M., "An overview on control concepts of Push-Belt CVT", IACSIT International Journal of Engineering and Technology, Vol. 4, No. 4, August 2012 [3] Carter, J. and Miller, D., "The Design and Analysis of An Alternative Traction Drive CVT", SAE Paper 2003-01-0970, 2003 [4] Cotrell J., "Assessing the Potential of a Mechanical Continuously Variable Transmission for Wind Turbines", A National Laboratory of U.S. Department of Energy, Conference Paper, NREL/CP-500-38212, 2005 [5] Coy J.J., Rohn D.A. and Loewenthal S.H., "Life Analysis of Multiroller Planetary Traction Drive", NASA, Technical Paper 1710, Technical Report 80-C-16, 1981 Kunal S.

Safety Preservation and Reliability Enhancement of 3M By Applying Varied Friction MethodologyAbstract: A general trend shows that while purchasing equipment or a machine and using them it is taken as sacrosanct that the parts / assembly or the mechanism installed are free from any defect and no improvement is required there in. However it's not true always and now a days this has been taken up with at most concern to raise a pertinent question whether this is the optimum output from the component/assemblies fitted and being used. Present paper is based on the above subject and deals with one of the assemblies fitted on a heavy earth moving machinery known as Walking Dragline (Ransome and Rapier, made in UK) operating in Jayant OCM one of the biggest coal mines in Asia. The component placed on the Boom structure of the machinery in question was a fixed one and subjected to static friction because of coming into contact with heavy duty steel wire ropes (2 numbers) in moving conditions. The impact of the wire ropes on the component was so heavy that it was taking only a few months to get the static wooden log worn out resulting into heavy loss to both the components on one hand, crores of rupees of revenue loss in production in addition to very high safety hazard because of their fitment/replacement at a height of 40 meters from the ground to which lifting by even general duty crane was not possible, thus to be handled by manually at times Giving a serious thought to the problem and considering a possible solution that can't the existing component fitted originally with the boom structure of the machine subjected to the static friction be replaced by a rolling friction component? With a positive answer to this problem the proposed adopted methodology undergoes two steps: first removal of the component that is wooden log under the static friction and second design, fabrication and installation of two no. of rollers to withstand the impact of heavy duty steel wire ropes. The comparison between the proposed and existing was carried out on various parameters such as cost, maintenance friendliness, safety and reliability concerned with 3M i.e. man, machine & material.Key words: Walking Dragline Machine, Wooden Log, rollers, steel wire, ropes, friction, 3M- Man, Machine and Material.

Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System For Rainfall-Runoff ModelingAbstract: In this study an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was used for rainfall-runoff modeling for the Dharoi sub-basin, India. Different combinations of rainfall were considered as the inputs to the model, and runoff was considered as the output. Input space partitioning for model structure identification was done by grid partitioning. A hybrid learning algorithm consisting of back-propagation and least-squares estimation was used to train the model for runoff estimation. The optimal learning parameters were determined by trial and error using Triangular membership function. Root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (r) were used for selecting the best performing model.Key words: Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) modeling, Dharoi sub-basin, Rainfall-Runoff Reference [1] Zadeh, L.A., 1965.

| 34. | An Analysis of Transducer Mass Loading Effect Inshaker Testing
An Analysis of Transducer Mass Loading Effect Inshaker TestingAbstract: Modal Analysis has been a developing science in the experimental evaluation of the dynamic properties of the structures. Frequency Response Function (FRF) is one of the major steps in modal analysis. Measured frequency response functions (FRFs) are used to extract modal parameters. It is also known that the accuracy and the reliability of various analyses using the measured FRFs depend strongly on the quality of measured data. It is well known that the quality of measured frequency response functions (FRFs) is adversely affected by many factors, most significant sources being noise and systematic errors like mass loading effects of transducers. A transducer mounted on a vibrating system changes the dynamics of the structure due to the addition of extra mass and introduces errors into measured FRFs. One problem with this is the production of unrealistic results, which cause the measured resonant frequencies to be less than the correct values. These errors also lead to incorrect prediction of modal parameters. In many situations, the mass loading effect is ignored in the analytical and experimental process, based on a usual assumption that the transducer mass is negligible compared to that of the structure under test. However, when light-weighted structures are investigated, this effect can be significant. This paper focuses on the theoretical analysis of transverse vibration of fixed free beam and investigates the modal frequency. Mass loading effect of accelerometer is studied on the cantilever beams by varying the masses of accelerometer. In this work, experimental modal testing of a cantilever beam has been performed to obtain modal frequencies. The beam is excited by using Electrodynamics Shaker Excitation Technique, which provides forced vibrations. These modal parameters are then checked using finite element method which is found to comply with the experimental results. The range of applications for modal data is vast and includes checking modal frequencies, to understand dynamic structural behavior for trouble-shooting, verifying and improving analytical models.Key words: Frequency Response Function, Modal Analysis, modal parameters, mass loading effects, Shaker Testing etc. Reference [1] Shusheng Bi, JunRen, Wei Wang, Guanghua Zong, "Elimination of transducer mass loading effects in shaker modal testing," Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing,2013.

Linear Regression and Anova Modelling Tool When Turning of EN 24 / EN 31 Alloy SteelAbstract: In any machining process, apart from obtaining the accurate dimensions, achieving a good surface quality and maximized metal removal are also of utmost importance. A machining process involves many process parameters which directly or indirectly influence the surface roughness and metal removal rate of the product in common. Surface roughness and metal removal in turning process are varied due to various parameters like feed, speed and depth of cut are important ones. Extensive study has been conducted in the past to optimize the process parameters in any machining process to have the best product. Current investigation on turning process is a Linear Regression Methodology (LRM) applied on the most effective process parameters i.e. feed, cutting speed and depth of cut while machining alloy steels as the two types of work pieces with HSS cutting tool in dry environment. The main effects (independent parameters), quadratic effects (square of the independent variables), and interaction effects of the variables have been considered separately to build best subset of the model. Four levels of the feed, four levels of speed, four levels of the depth of cut, two different types of work materials have been used to generate readings in a single set. After obtaining the data from the experiments, LR is calculated using the existing formulae. To analyze the data set, statistical tool ANOVA has been used to reduce the manipulation and help to arrive at proper improvement plan of the manufacturing process & techniques. A comparison between the observed and predicted data was made, which shows a close relationship.Key words: Linear Regression Methodology (LRM), Turning, ANOVA.

| 37. | Generation of Electricity Using Solid Waste Management in Krishnagiri Municipalty
Generation of Electricity Using Solid Waste Management in Krishnagiri MunicipaltyAbstract: The electricity sector in India supplies the world's 6th largest energy consumer, accounting for 3.4% of global energy consumption by more than 17% of global population. About 65.34% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal, 21.53% by hydroelectric power plants, 2.70% by nuclear power plants and 10.42% by Renewable Energy Sources. More than 50% of India's commercial energy demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. The country has also invested heavily in recent years in renewable energy utilization, especially wind energy. Four major economic and social drivers characterize the energy policy of India: a rapidly growing economy, increasing household incomes, limited domestic reserves of fossil fuels and the adverse impact on the environment of rapid development in urban and regional areas. Meanwhile, the rural areas are struggling with a chronically tight supply of electrical power. In order to properly manage the changing conditions, knowledge and estimation of the available resources and applying their relation with the population is of utmost importance. The paper deals with extraction of such information with the help of spatial techniques. This paper deals with estimation of the amount of solid waste generated by a part of the Krishnagiri city using spatial techniques. Solid waste management is one of the most essential functions in a country to achieve a sustainable development. In India, it has been one of the least prioritized functions during the last decades. The most common ways to treat waste in India today are open dumping and uncontrolled burning. These methods are causing severe environmental pollution and health problems. India is one of the world‟s largest emitter of methane gas from waste disposal. Since methane is a strong greenhouse gas, even small emissions have large impact on the climate. Like most municipalities in India, COK has experienced difficulties keeping in pace with last decades‟ industrialization, resulting in insufficient collection of municipal solid waste and over burdened dumpsites. Another consequence of the rapid industrialization is the increased demand for electricity. Today there is not enough installed capacity of power stations in Krishnagiri to meet this demand, leading to daily power cuts. This project will give an overview of the current waste used to generate electricity situation in Krishnagiri and analyze whether Hydro air Tectonics should build this combustion unit or if they should sell the generated RDF to industries. The result will be presented in a case study. The garbage has several nutrients and hence can be advantageously processed to produce many bye products and end products viz. gas, electricity and also organic manure which is highly suited for organic farming.Key words: Hydroelectric Power Plants, Cropping Intensity, Krishnagiri , Environmental Pollution .

A Blower-Like Approach to Predict the Effectiveness of Vaccines in a TB DynamicAbstract: In this paper we present an extension of an automata approach proposed by S. Blower (1998) to describe the tuberculosis progression in a bi-dimensional space. In our extended model, the vaccination was included as an inhibitory variable in order to study its influence on the behavior of the tuberculosis spread. Our simulations showed that the earlier the vaccine is administered in the population, the lower the number of infected individuals, as expected for an in vivo system. However, our results also indicated that although the usual vaccination processes help reducing the strength of infection, the disease is not extinct, remaining the endemic state at low levels. These results strongly suggest that further actions are needed to increase the effectiveness of immunizations.Key words: Simulation, epidemic, tuberculosis, cellularautomata.
