A Hybrid Technique for the Automated Segmentation of Corpus Callosum in Midsagittal Brain Mri
A Hybrid Technique for the Automated Segmentation of Corpus Callosum in Midsagittal Brain Mri
Abstract: The corpus callosum (CC) is the largest white-matter structure in human brain. In this paper, we take two techniques to observe the results of segmentation of Corpus Callosum. The first one is mean shift algorithm and morphological operation. The second one is k-means clustering. In this paper, it is performed in three steps. The first step is finding the corpus callosum area using adaptive mean shift algorithm or k-means clustering . In second step, the boundary of detected CC area is then used as the initial contour in the Geometric Active Contour (GAC) mode and final step to remove unknown noise using morphological operation and evolved to get the final segmentation result. The experimental results demonstrate that the mean shift algorithm and k-means clustering has provided a reliable segmentation performance.
Index term: corpus callosum, mean shift, geometric active contour and morphological techniques

Linearly Stretching Surface Along With Porous Plate in Porous
Medium
Abstract: This paper investigates the MHD flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting non-newtonian power-law
fluid over a non-linearly stretching surface along with porous plate in porous medium. The governing equations
are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. These
equations are then solved numerically with the help ofRunge – Kutta shooting method. The effect of various
flow parameters in the form of dimensionless quantities on the flow field are discussed and presented
graphically.
Key words: Heat Source /Sink Parameter;MHD flow;Power-law Fluid; Stretching sheet; porous medium.

Identification of Closest and Phantom Nodes in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Identification of Closest and Phantom Nodes in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Abstract: There are several services that build on the availability of closest node location information like geographic routing in spontaneous networks, data gathering in sensor networks, movement coordination among autonomous robotic nodes, location specific services for hand held devices and danger warning or traffic monitoring in vehicular networks. Ad hoc networking protocols and location-aware services require that mobile nodes identify the location of their closest nodes. Such a process can be easily misuses or stop by opposed nodes. In absence of a priori trusted nodes, the spotting and identifying of closest node position presents challenges that have been scarcely investigated in the literature. Node can also send message from one to many nodes in a broadcasting manner here.
Index Terms: Closest Nodes, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Phantom Nodes, Position identification, Vehicular Networks.

Improvement to Village Road Based on Traffic Characteristics
Improvement to Village Road Based on Traffic Characteristics
Abstract: The Improvement of Rural road network is of vital importance for bringing social aminities, education, and health within reasonable reach of villagers for transportation of agricultural products produce from villages to near market centers. There are many habitations in the state of Andhra Pradesh , of which only few habitations are connected by all weather roads. Pavements of roads connecting different villages were initially made up of moorum or other locally available granular materials. Progressively, water bound macadam (WBM) and thin bituminous surfacing were added, depending upon the traffic and availability of funding. The village roads were thus built up stage by stage. No pavement design procedure was adopted for construction of such roads. With increased economic activity, the villages were connected with all-weather roads. And this report will address the improvement of such a village roads and then the development of the district takes place.
Key words: Habitations,Pavement,Ruralroad,Traffic,WBMroads.

Experimental Investigation on Properties Concrete Paver Block with the Inclusion of Natural Fibers
Experimental Investigation on Properties Concrete Paver Block with the Inclusion of Natural Fibers
Abstract: In this experimental investigation the compressive strength, water absorption and flexural strength of paver blocks were determined by adding Coconut fibers in the top 20mm thickness. Coconut fibers were added in proportions of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5% in volume of concrete. The compressive strength, flexural strength and water absorption were determined at the end of 7 and 28 days. Test results indicate that addition of coconut fiber by 0.3% paver block attains maximum compressive strength. Test results indicate that addition of coconut fiber gradually increases flexural strengths and water absorption at 7 and 28 days. In this investigation at 0.3% of coconut fiber content effect of top layer thickness on compressive strength and flexural strength is also determined. Results show that inclusion of fibers even up to 50% of top layer thickness compressive and flexural strengths are increasing. The paper also shows the cost comparison per each block.
Key words: Coconut Fiber, Compressive Strength, Cost, Flexural Strength, Paver Block, Water Absorption

Effect of Different Staging Configurations on Seismic Performance of Circular Elevated Water Tank
Effect of Different Staging Configurations on Seismic Performance of Circular Elevated Water Tank
Abstract: As known from very upsetting experiences adequately designed Elevated water tanks were heavily damaged or collapsed during earthquakes. Most of the damages observed during the seismic events arise due to causes like the lack of knowledge regarding the behavior of supporting system, improper selection and design of supporting system of elevated water tanks. This paper presents the study of seismic performance of the elevated water tanks for various seismic zones of India with variation in staging heights and different types of staging configurations. Total 27 combinations were analyzed using Response Spectrum Method (RSM) in finite element based software SAP2000 by considering two mass idealization systems. Tank responses including base shear, overturning moment and roof displacement have been observed with the aim of recommendation of best staging arrangement for different earthquake zones in India.
Key words: Elevated water tanks, Frame staging, Response Spectrum, Seismic Zones, Two mass model.

Efficient Design of Sierpinski Fractal Antenna for High Frequency Applications
Efficient Design of Sierpinski Fractal Antenna for High Frequency Applications
Abstract: A wideband published slot antenna appropriate for wireless code division multiple access (WCDMA) and sustaining the international interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications is planned here. The antenna is fractal line fed and its construction is based on fractal geometry where the resonance frequency of antenna is dropped by applying iteration methods. Fractal antennas are the most suited for aerospace and UWB applications because of their low profile, light weight and low power handling capacity. They can be designed in a variety of shapes in order to obtain enhanced gain and bandwidth, dual band and circular polarization to even ultra-wideband operation. For the simulation process ANSOFT HFSS (high frequency structure simulator) has been used. The effect of antenna dimensions and substrate parameters on the performance of antenna have been discussed. The antenna has been designed using the Arlon substrate with relative permittivity of 1.3 and a substrate of Sierpinski Carpet shaped placed on it. Feed used is the fractal line feed. The designed antenna is a low profile, small size and multiband antenna since it can be operated at different frequencies within the frequency range of 4.3GHz to 11GHz. It includes the frequencies used for wireless WCDMA application and used to receive and transmit a high-frequency signal.
Key words: Fractal Antenna, WCDMA, WIMAX, Sierpinski Carpet, HFSS.

Study on Effect of Thickness and Fibre Orientation on a Tensile and Flexural Properties of a Hybrid Composite
Study on Effect of Thickness and Fibre Orientation on a Tensile and Flexural Properties of a Hybrid Composite
Abstract: This project presents the study of tensile, flexural & moisture absorption properties of composites made from S-glass, Carbon and E-glass fibre. The specimens are prepared using hand lay-up techniques as per ASTM standard for different thickness 2mm and 3mm and fibre orientation of 30º, 45º and 60º, where an attempt is made to study the properties of composite materials by composing the different materials together to obtain the desired properties by increasing the thickness and fibre orientation. By the variation of thickness tensile strength of hybrid composite is observed for each thickness and is compared with the finite element analysis results. The test ready specimens were subjected to tensile and flexural loads on UTM. This research indicates that tensile strength is mainly dependent on the fiber orientation & thickness of laminated polymer composites. The moisture absorption increases with the fibre, filler content and duration of immersion in water.

Image Restitution Using Non-Locally Centralized Sparse
Representation Model
Image Restitution Using Non-Locally Centralized Sparse
Representation Model
Abstract: Sparse representation models uses a linear combination of a few atoms selected from an over-completed
dictionary to code an image patch which have given good results in different image restitution applications. The
reconstruction of the original image is not so accurate using traditional models of sparse representation to solve
degradation problems which are blurring, noisy, and down-sampled. The goal of image restitution is to suppress
the sparse coding noise and to improve the image quality by using the concept of sparse representation. To
obtain a good sparse coding coefficients of the original image we exploit the image non-local self similarity and
then by centralizing the sparse coding coefficients of the observation image to those estimates. This non-locally
centralized sparse representation model outperforms standard sparse representation models in all aspects of
image restitution problems including de-noising, de-blurring, and super-resolution.

Analysis and Site Suitability Evaluation for Textile Sewage Water Treatment Plant in Salem Corporation, Tamilnadu Using Remote Sensing Techniques
Analysis and Site Suitability Evaluation for Textile Sewage Water Treatment Plant in Salem Corporation, Tamilnadu Using Remote Sensing Techniques
Abstract: Textile processing units in Erode, Karur, Salem and Tirupur districts of Tamilnadu, India generates chemically toxic waste water there by polluting sub-soil and surface water of water bodies in particular River Cauvery. In Erode district, a model Common effluent treatment plant (CETP) was promoted by State Industrial Promotion Corporation of Tamilnadu Ltd., at Perundurai with 14 textile units as stake holders. Waste water from textile processing units contains a complex mixture of dyes, which are highly resistant to conventional treatment technology. As the characteristics of wash water effluent and dye bath effluent are variable, various physical, chemical and biological treatment methods are adopted for the treatment. Most of the perennial rivers in Tamilnadu have less surface flow water and dried during summer season. The area lies in arid zone of Salem, Tamil Nadu having very scanty rains and very low ground water reserves. Some of the other problems that are faced by the area are disposal of industrial effluent posing threat to its sustainability of water resource. Textiles, dyeing and printing industries, various mechanical process and chemical/synthetic dyes are used and considerable wastewater discharged from these textile units contains about high amount of the dyes into the adjoining drainages. Geographic Information System (GIS) can be used as a decision support tool for planning waste management. The manual methods adopted for the analysis of many factors would be a tedious and lengthy work. Also the possibilities of errors increase when merging the spatial and non-spatial data. But in case of GIS, as the work is carried out in layers, the chances of error will be less and the system is capable to coordinate between spatial and non-spatial data. Remote sensing analysis has been carried out using Resource sat -1 multispectral satellite data along with DEM derived from IRS P5 stereo pair. GIS database generated of various thematic layers viz. base layer - inventorying all water bodies in the vicinity, transport network and village layer, drainage, geomorphology, structure, land use. Analysis of spatial distribution of the features and change detection in land use/cover carried out. GIS maps have been used to help factor in spatial location of source and hydro-geomorphological settings. In our project analyze the chemical content of the water and Site suitability evaluation for waste management is becoming a major criteria for defending the environmental degradation. If proper location for the treatment plant is not selected then it may lead to soil degradation and ground water pollution. The study area is situated in the southern portion of Tamil Nadu, India that is currently experiencing high rates of population growth and economic development. Potential sites for the treatment plant are evaluated using suitability score based on planning and design constraints, including ground slope, land use pattern, and distance to river and roads. Spatial analyst tool of ArcGIS software is used for selection of suitable reclamation plant site. Finally based on weightage value, suitable site for treatment plant have been selected and classified into good, moderate and poorly suitable areas respectively.

Re-Engineering Learning Objects for Re-Purposing
Re-Engineering Learning Objects for Re-Purposing
Abstract: Existing Learning Object (LO) definitions and their interpretations seem to project a view of LO with somewhat less flexible in the scope of LO reusability.In solving this problem the researchers try to interpret those definitions with an added property i.e. "LO repurposing‟. LO repurposing refers to the ability of reusing the LO in different perspectives and contexts. Adding new property needs a suitable Software Engineering methodology to be applied to properly inject the required strategies toward the development of the best and quality solutions. Our investigation in finding a solution for this problem is by shaping the LOssimilar to software objects that can not only be reused, but also repurposed in various learning contexts. In our paper, we propose to apply an object-oriented framework to develop the class-based LO model with an evolving nature of LOs. The class-based LO model allows LOs derivable to the degree ofsufficient level of repurposing for any learning context.
Key words: O-O LO model, LO class, domain-based LO hierarchy, data object, LO repository, LO reusability.

Incremental Conductance MPPT Algorithm for PV System Implemented Using DC-DC Buck and Boost Converter
Incremental Conductance MPPT Algorithm for PV System Implemented Using DC-DC Buck and Boost Converter
Abstract: The two basic topologies of switch mode DC-DC converters (Buck and Boost) are analyzed with a view of their use in PV (photovoltaic) systems, as the photovoltaic generator exhibits non-linear characteristics due to the change in environmental condition and load variation. As the efficiency of PV panels is low it becomes mandatory to extract maximum power from the PV panel at a given period of time. Several MPPT algorithms with different types of converters are being proposed for extracting maximum power from the PV panel. It is found that the nature of load plays an important role in the choice of topology. This paper investigates the implementation issues of Incremental Conductance method with Buck and Boost Converters. Mathematical analysis and desirable steady-state operating point of the converters are derived to give satisfactory maximum power point tracking operation.
Key words: Buck converter, Boost converter, Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), Incremental Conductance (IC), Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), Photovoltaic (PV) system.

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Multi-Storeyed R C Framed Structural System with the Influence of Ground & Top Soft Storey
Seismic Performance Evaluation of Multi-Storeyed R C Framed Structural System with the Influence of Ground & Top Soft Storey
Abstract: Masonry infills are normally considered as non-structural elements and their stiffness contributions are generally ignored in practice. But they affect both the structural and non-structural performance of the RC buildings during earthquakes. RC frame building with open first storey is known as soft storey, which performs poorly during strong earthquake shaking. A similar soft storey effect can also appear at top storey level if a storey used as a service storey. Hence a combination of two structural system components i.e. Rigid frames and RC shear walls leads to a highly efficient system in which shear wall resist the majority of the lateral loads and the frame supports majority of the gravity loads. To study the effect of masonry infill and different soft storey level, 11 models of R C framed building were analyzed with two types of shear wall when subjected to earthquake loading. The results of bare frame and other building models have been compared, it is observed that model with swastika and L shape shear wall with core wall are showing efficient performance and hence reducing the effect of soft storey and also reducing the effect of water pressure in the top soft storey.
Key words: bare frame, masonry infill, soft storey, shear wall

Investigation of the Structural Variation after the Intercalation of Cetylpyridinium Chloride into V2O5 Xerogel
Investigation of the Structural Variation after the Intercalation of Cetylpyridinium Chloride into V2O5 Xerogel
Abstract: A new hybrid material using vanadium pentoxide xerogel in different concentration of the cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (V2O5CPC) is investigated. The insertion was accompanied by XRD, FTIR and SEM characterization. These studies revealed the presence of a lamellar structure for the V2O5CPC hybrid material in all concentrations of cetylpyridinium chloride. The intercalation reaction was evidenced on basis of the increase in the d-spacing as well as the displacement of the infrared bands toward lower energy levels. The CPC intercalation occurred by reorganize intermittently forming two domains within the matrix.
Key words: Cetylpyridinium chloride; hybrid materials; intercalation; sol-gel; V2O5

Drip Fertigation in Sweet Pepper: A Review
Drip Fertigation in Sweet Pepper: A Review
Abstract: Sweet Pepper is one of the most important vegetable crops grown in India. Water has been identified as one of the scarcest inputs, which can severely restrict its growth unless it is carefully conserved and managed. Adoption of modern irrigation technique like drip irrigations is needed to be emphasized to increase water use efficiency and covering more area under irrigation. Drip fertigation is the most effective way to supply water and nutrients to the plants which not only saves water but also increases yield of fruits and vegetable crops. As reported by different research workers of the world, adoption of drip fertigation in sweet pepper results in saving of fertilizer up to 25 per cent, water saving up to 40 percent significant increase in yield, significant increase in water use efficiency and better quality produce.
