RSA Based Secured Image Steganography Using DWT Approach

Abstract: The need for keeping safe secrecy of secret and sensitive data has been ever increasing with the new developments in digital system. In this paper, we present an increased way for getting embedding encrypted secret facts in gray scale images to give high level safety of facts for news over unsecured narrow channels Cryptography and Steganography are two closely related techniques are used in proposed system. Cryptography gets into making one of religion the secret note into a non-recognizable chipper. Steganography is then sent in name for using Double-Stegging to fix this encrypted data into a cover thing by which something is done and keeps secret its existence.

Key words: Steganography, Cover Image, Information, Stego Image, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), RSA Approach, Bit Length.

DCT Based Secret Image Hiding In Video Sequence

Abstract: Internet which is ever more accessible to interference by not with authority people over the World. It is important to bring down a chance of Information being sensed while Transmitting is the major issue these days. To overcome these problems one of the solution is cryptography. There will be no solitude once it is decoded. So hiding data to make it confidential. Copyright is one of the ways for hiding data and it is security for digital media. Its significance and techniques used in executing hiding of data let us see in brief. The existing LSB modification technique as in this approach the bits are randomly distributes the bits of message in image so which will becomes complex for anonymous persons to extract original message information, it opens the gates for loosing important hidden information. Here hiding and extraction method is used for AVI (Audio Video Interleave). As Higher order coefficients maintains Secret message bits. The hidden information will be in the form of gray scale image pixel values. Grayscale value then converted into binary values .The resultant binary values will be assigned to the higher order coefficient values of DCT of AVI video frames. These experiments were successful. We can analyze the results using Mat lab simulation software.

Key words: Image, Steganography, DCT, Video Data Hiding.

Performance Characteristics and Analysis of 4-Stroke Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Blend With 50% of Honne Oil at Various Fuel Injection Pressures

Abstract: In future demand for fossil fuels and environmental effects, a number of renewable sources of energy have been studied in worldwide. An attempt is made to apt of vegetable oil for diesel engine operation, without any change in its old construction. One of the important factors which influence the performance and emission characteristics of D.I diesel engine is fuel injection pressure. In this project honne oil has to be investigated in a constant speed, on D.I diesel engine with different fuel injection pressures. The scope of the project is to investigate the effect of injection pressures on a blend of 50% honne oil with 50% diesel and compare with pure diesel on performance and emission characteristics of the diesel engine. Two tested fuels were used during experiments like 100 % diesel and a blend of 50% honne oil mixing in the diesel. The performance tests were conducted at constant speed with variable loads. From experiment results it was found that with honne oil- diesel blend the performance of the engine is better compared with diesel. The break thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiencies were found to be maximum at 200 bar injection pressure with both honne oil- diesel blend, compared with 180 bar and 220 bar. The brake specific fuel consumption was to be minimum at 220bar compared with 180 bar and 200 bar. Hydro carbon emissions of honne oil-diesel operation were less than the diesel fuel mode at all fuel injection pressures.

Comparison of Stable NLMF and NLMS Algorithms for Adaptive Noise Cancellation in ECG Signal with Gaussian, Binary and Uniform Signals As Inputs

Abstract: The least mean fourth (LMF) algorithm has several stability problems. Its stability depends on the variance and distribution type of the adaptive filter input, the noise variance, and the initialization of filter weights. A global solution to these stability problems was presented recently for a normalized LMF (NLMF) algorithm. The analysis is done in context of adaptive noise cancellation with Gaussian, binary, and uniform desired signals. The analytical model is shown to accurately predict the optimum solutions. Comparisons of the NLMF and NLMS algorithms are then made for various parameter selections. It is then shown under what conditions the NLMF algorithm is superior to NLMS algorithm for adaptive noise cancelling.

Index Terms: Adaptive filtering, adaptive noise cancelling, least mean fourth algorithm, NLMS algorithm, and normalized least mean fourth algorithm.

FPGA Implementation of A New Chien Search Block for Reed-Solomon Codes RS (255, 239) Used In Digital Video Broadcasting DVB-T

Abstract: The Reed-Solomon codes RS are widely used in communication systems, in particular forming part of the specification for the ETSI digital terrestrial television standard. In this paper a simple algorithm for error detection in the Chien Search block is proposed. This algorithm is based on a simple factorization of the error locator polynomial, which allows reducing the number of components required to implement the proposed algorithm on FPGA board. Consequently, it reduces the power consumption with a percentage which can reach 50 % compared to the basic RS decoder. First, we developed the design of Chien Search Block Second, we generated and simulated the hardware description language source code using Quartus software tools,finally we implemented the proposed algorithm of Chien search block for Reed-Solomon codesRS (255, 239) on FPGA board to show both the reduced hardware resources and low complexity compared to the basic algorithm.

Evaluation of CSSR with Direct TCH Assignment in Cellular Networks

Abstract: Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) operators make use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to appreciate the network performance and evaluate the Quality of Service (QoS) regarding end user perceived quality. KPIs are therefore becoming increasingly important in the context of network rollouts as well as within mature network optimization cycles. The performance of the mobile network is measured based on several counters describing the most important events over a measurement period. The KPIs are derived with the help of these counters using different formulations. Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR) is one of the most important KPIs used by all mobile operators. In Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso, most of the active workers and remote area farmers rely largely on mobile communication services; the GPRS as data services remain highly competitive with GSM voice services. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of theoretically estimated CSSR to measured CSSR data on a real network with regard to GPRS services. The measured data was obtained from the Nokia Siemens Network (NSN) statistical tool. The results obtained showed significant improvements in areas where sharp drops in CSSR values were recorded for the measured CSSR. Significantly high R square values of close to 1 representing a high predictive ability from the regression analysis of the estimated CSSR were also recorded. It was concluded that the implementation of the CSSR formulation be extended to CSSR measurements to ensure increased subscriber satisfaction.

Implementation of a Cellular Manufacturing Tool for Minimization of Non Value Added Activities

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a plan for reducing lead-times and increasing profit of Centre bolt product by using value stream mapping. The Centre bolt product manufacturer is inefficient because it produces products in large batch quantities and has poor product flow as operations being departmentalized and departments are very far away from each other due to this increase in lead-times could cause a loss in the market share to its competitors. The Centre bolt product manufacturer must reduce its lead-times in order to remain competitive and continue its growth by providing quality products in a timely manner. A study will be carried out using value stream mapping to determine areas of potential improvement on the plant floor. A current state map will be developed and analyzed the areas that have potential for improvement. A future state map will then be created to suggest ways to reduce lead-times and increase profit. The map will include lean manufacturing methods to reduce wastes in the system; increasing profit and reducing lead-times. Current state and future state of manufacturing of a firm are compared and witnessed: 50 percent reduction in lead time, 4 percent reduction in processing time, 58.5 percent reduction in WIP and 22 percent reduction in manpower required to perform same amount of work.

Key words: Cellular Manufacturing, Lead time, Non-value added activities, Value Stream Mapping, wastes.

Linear Control Technique for Anti-Lock Braking System

Abstract: Antilock braking systems are used in modern cars to prevent the wheels from locking after brakes are applied. The dynamics of the controller needed for antilock braking system depends on various factors. The vehicle model often is in nonlinear form. Controller needs to provide a controlled torque necessary to maintain optimum value of the wheel slip ratio. The slip ratio is represented in terms of vehicle speed and wheel rotation. In present work first of all system dynamic equations are explained and a slip ratio is expressed in terms of system variables namely vehicle linear velocity and angular velocity of the wheel. By applying a bias braking force system, response is obtained using Simulink models. Using the linear control strategies like PI-type the effectiveness of maintaining desired slip ratio is tested. It is always observed that a steady state error of 10% occurring in all the control system models.

Pesticides Occurrence in an Alfisol of Sudano-Sahelian Agricultural Watershed (Korokoro, Mali)

Abstract: Soil contamination by pesticides (organochlorine, organophosphates and pyrethroids) has been studied in the agricultural watershed (60.6 km²) of Korokoro in Mali. Farmers of this watershed produce cotton and cereals (sorghum, maize, millet). Soil samples (0-20 cm) of an alfisol used for cotton cropping were collected at the end of the cropping seasons 2010 and 2011. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometer for quantifying the main pesticides (profenofos, acetamiprid, atrazine and cypermethrin) frequently used in the watershed and others organochlorine pesticides (DDT, endosulfan and HCH) that could be still detected. The results showed that soils were contaminated by DDT and its metabolites (0.1 to 3.5 μg.kg^-1) due to past agricultural uses for African migratory locust control while those of endosulfan sulfate (detection limit to 4.2 μg.kg^-1) and cypermethrin (2.5 to 6.2 μg.kg^-1) were due to their actual application on cotton. According to mass balances calculation cypermethrin residues are stocked in the soil compartment of the watershed after its application on cotton. This accumulation was evaluated at 13 ± 0.4% of applied quantities.

Improving the Hydraulic Efficiency of Centrifugal Pumps through Computational Fluid Dynamics Based Design optimization

Abstract: The design and optimization of turbo machine impellers such as those in pumps and turbines is a highly complicated task due to the complex three-dimensional shape of the impeller blades and surrounding devices. Small differences in geometry can lead to significant changes in the performance of these machines. We report here an efficient numerical technique that automatically optimizes the geometry of these blades for maximum performance. The technique combines, mathematical modeling of the impeller blades using non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS), Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with Geometry Parameterizations in turbulent flow simulation and the Globalized and bounded Nelder-Mead (GBNM) algorithm in geometry optimization.

Key words: Fluid dynamics, Optimization, Golobalized and bounded Nelder-Mead, CFD based optimization.

DCT Based Secret Image Hiding In Video Sequence DCT Based Secret Image Hiding In Video Sequence Abstract: Internet which is ever more accessible to interference by not with authority people over the World. It is important to bring down a chance of Information being sensed while Transmitting is the major issue these days. To overcome these problems one of the solution is cryptography. There will be no solitude once it is decoded. So hiding data to make it confidential. Copyright is one of the ways for hiding data and it is security for digital media. Its significance and techniques used in executing hiding of data let us see in brief. The existing LSB modification technique as in this approach the bits are randomly distributes the bits of message in image so which will becomes complex for anonymous persons to extract original message information, it opens the gates for loosing important hidden information. Here hiding and extraction method is used for AVI (Audio Video Interleave). As Higher order coefficients maintains Secret message bits. The hidden information will be in the form of gray scale image pixel values. Grayscale value then converted into binary values .The resultant binary values will be assigned to the higher order coefficient values of DCT of AVI video frames. These experiments were successful. We can analyze the results using Mat lab simulation software. Key words: Image, Steganography, DCT, Video Data Hiding. Reference [1] F.A.P Peticolas, R.J. Anderson and M.G.

An attempt is made to apt of vegetable oil for diesel engine operation, without any change in its old construction. One of the important factors which influence the performance and emission characteristics of D.I diesel engine is fuel injection pressure. In this project honne oil has to be investigated in a constant speed, on D.I diesel engine with different fuel injection pressures. The scope of the project is to investigate the effect of injection pressures on a blend of 50% honne oil with 50% diesel and compare with pure diesel on performance and emission characteristics of the diesel engine. Two tested fuels were used during experiments like 100 % diesel and a blend of 50% honne oil mixing in the diesel. The performance tests were conducted at constant speed with variable loads. From experiment results it was found that with honne oil- diesel blend the performance of the engine is better compared with diesel. The break thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiencies were found to be maximum at 200 bar injection pressure with both honne oil- diesel blend, compared with 180 bar and 220 bar. The brake specific fuel consumption was to be minimum at 220bar compared with 180 bar and 200 bar. Hydro carbon emissions of honne oil-diesel operation were less than the diesel fuel mode at all fuel injection pressures. Reference [1] Altin R. Cetinkaya S. and Yucesu H.S., 2001.

Comparison of Stable NLMF and NLMS Algorithms for Adaptive Noise Cancellation in ECG Signal with Gaussian, Binary and Uniform Signals As Inputs Comparison of Stable NLMF and NLMS Algorithms for Adaptive Noise Cancellation in ECG Signal with Gaussian, Binary and Uniform Signals As Inputs Abstract: The least mean fourth (LMF) algorithm has several stability problems. Its stability depends on the variance and distribution type of the adaptive filter input, the noise variance, and the initialization of filter weights. A global solution to these stability problems was presented recently for a normalized LMF (NLMF) algorithm. The analysis is done in context of adaptive noise cancellation with Gaussian, binary, and uniform desired signals. The analytical model is shown to accurately predict the optimum solutions. Comparisons of the NLMF and NLMS algorithms are then made for various parameter selections. It is then shown under what conditions the NLMF algorithm is superior to NLMS algorithm for adaptive noise cancelling.

FPGA Implementation of A New Chien Search Block for Reed-Solomon Codes RS (255, 239) Used In Digital Video Broadcasting DVB-T FPGA Implementation of A New Chien Search Block for Reed-Solomon Codes RS (255, 239) Used In Digital Video Broadcasting DVB-T Abstract: The Reed-Solomon codes RS are widely used in communication systems, in particular forming part of the specification for the ETSI digital terrestrial television standard. In this paper a simple algorithm for error detection in the Chien Search block is proposed. This algorithm is based on a simple factorization of the error locator polynomial, which allows reducing the number of components required to implement the proposed algorithm on FPGA board. Consequently, it reduces the power consumption with a percentage which can reach 50 % compared to the basic RS decoder. First, we developed the design of Chien Search Block Second, we generated and simulated the hardware description language source code using Quartus software tools,finally we implemented the proposed algorithm of Chien search block for Reed-Solomon codesRS (255, 239) on FPGA board to show both the reduced hardware resources and low complexity compared to the basic algorithm.

Evaluation of CSSR with Direct TCH Assignment in Cellular Networks Evaluation of CSSR with Direct TCH Assignment in Cellular Networks Abstract: Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) operators make use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to appreciate the network performance and evaluate the Quality of Service (QoS) regarding end user perceived quality. KPIs are therefore becoming increasingly important in the context of network rollouts as well as within mature network optimization cycles. The performance of the mobile network is measured based on several counters describing the most important events over a measurement period. The KPIs are derived with the help of these counters using different formulations. Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR) is one of the most important KPIs used by all mobile operators. In Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso, most of the active workers and remote area farmers rely largely on mobile communication services; the GPRS as data services remain highly competitive with GSM voice services. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of theoretically estimated CSSR to measured CSSR data on a real network with regard to GPRS services. The measured data was obtained from the Nokia Siemens Network (NSN) statistical tool. The results obtained showed significant improvements in areas where sharp drops in CSSR values were recorded for the measured CSSR. Significantly high R square values of close to 1 representing a high predictive ability from the regression analysis of the estimated CSSR were also recorded. It was concluded that the implementation of the CSSR formulation be extended to CSSR measurements to ensure increased subscriber satisfaction.

Implementation of a Cellular Manufacturing Tool for Minimization of Non Value Added Activities Implementation of a Cellular Manufacturing Tool for Minimization of Non Value Added Activities Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a plan for reducing lead-times and increasing profit of Centre bolt product by using value stream mapping. The Centre bolt product manufacturer is inefficient because it produces products in large batch quantities and has poor product flow as operations being departmentalized and departments are very far away from each other due to this increase in lead-times could cause a loss in the market share to its competitors. The Centre bolt product manufacturer must reduce its lead-times in order to remain competitive and continue its growth by providing quality products in a timely manner. A study will be carried out using value stream mapping to determine areas of potential improvement on the plant floor. A current state map will be developed and analyzed the areas that have potential for improvement. A future state map will then be created to suggest ways to reduce lead-times and increase profit. The map will include lean manufacturing methods to reduce wastes in the system; increasing profit and reducing lead-times. Current state and future state of manufacturing of a firm are compared and witnessed: 50 percent reduction in lead time, 4 percent reduction in processing time, 58.5 percent reduction in WIP and 22 percent reduction in manpower required to perform same amount of work.

Linear Control Technique for Anti-Lock Braking System Linear Control Technique for Anti-Lock Braking System Abstract: Antilock braking systems are used in modern cars to prevent the wheels from locking after brakes are applied. The dynamics of the controller needed for antilock braking system depends on various factors. The vehicle model often is in nonlinear form. Controller needs to provide a controlled torque necessary to maintain optimum value of the wheel slip ratio. The slip ratio is represented in terms of vehicle speed and wheel rotation. In present work first of all system dynamic equations are explained and a slip ratio is expressed in terms of system variables namely vehicle linear velocity and angular velocity of the wheel. By applying a bias braking force system, response is obtained using Simulink models. Using the linear control strategies like PI-type the effectiveness of maintaining desired slip ratio is tested. It is always observed that a steady state error of 10% occurring in all the control system models. Reference [1] H. Mirzaeinejad, M.

Pesticides Occurrence in an Alfisol of Sudano-Sahelian Agricultural Watershed (Korokoro, Mali) Pesticides Occurrence in an Alfisol of Sudano-Sahelian Agricultural Watershed (Korokoro, Mali) Abstract: Soil contamination by pesticides (organochlorine, organophosphates and pyrethroids) has been studied in the agricultural watershed (60.6 km²) of Korokoro in Mali. Farmers of this watershed produce cotton and cereals (sorghum, maize, millet). Soil samples (0-20 cm) of an alfisol used for cotton cropping were collected at the end of the cropping seasons 2010 and 2011. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometer for quantifying the main pesticides (profenofos, acetamiprid, atrazine and cypermethrin) frequently used in the watershed and others organochlorine pesticides (DDT, endosulfan and HCH) that could be still detected. The results showed that soils were contaminated by DDT and its metabolites (0.1 to 3.5 μg.kg^-1) due to past agricultural uses for African migratory locust control while those of endosulfan sulfate (detection limit to 4.2 μg.kg^-1) and cypermethrin (2.5 to 6.2 μg.kg^-1) were due to their actual application on cotton. According to mass balances calculation cypermethrin residues are stocked in the soil compartment of the watershed after its application on cotton. This accumulation was evaluated at 13 ± 0.4% of applied quantities. Key words: contamination, Korokoro Watershed, pesticides, alfisol, Mali Reference [1] Hugon, P. (2005).
