Abstract:
Augmented reality technology is a tool with great potential for application in several areas, including engineering. During the early phases of the enterprise life cycle, as design and construction, augmented reality has been widely used. Concrete dams, during operation and maintenance phase, require regular inspections as part of the necessary activities to keep their structural safety. Cracks are common pathology in these structures that must be detected, mapped and measured as their evolution may evidence structure compromising, need for maintenance or intervention. In this context this paper aims to present a prototype to access in situ the dam cracks information through the use of augmented reality, thus giving a contribution to the effectiveness and efficiency of inspections.

Abstract:
Banking sector is one of the vital financial pillars of Indian economy. The liberalization policy has affected the competitiveness of banks due to the global pressures resulting into combination of Human Resource Management with business policies. The survey by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Indian Bank's Association (IBA) report that the Indian banking industry will face two upcoming challenges that is an economically viable solution for financial inclusion and human resources framework in next one decade. While the first challenge demands unusual innovation and experimentation, the second threatens to cripple the ability of the largest segment of the banking industry from being able to innovate and stay competitive. The unique complexities of the public sector make conventional HR solutions ineffective. The initiatives like "Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana" by the Honourable Prime Minister of India, banks contribution in the financial inclusion has boosted up, but the employee's expectations from the industry have also arisen. This calls for a need to innovate the earlier HR practices of the banks so that the employee productivity can be enhanced. This paper aims to provide an insight to such innovations, related to Human Resource Management with the help of a primary study based on the viewpoints of HR managers of six different Indian banks both from public and private sector. These innovative HRM practices have been listed under seven different heads of HRM namely recruitment & selection, training and development, performance management, compensation management, career development, employee motivation and employee security. A few of the earlier studies have also been referred for the final conclusions. The level of implementation of these innovations may not be satisfactory, yet the implementation has been started and the favourable results in the productivity will make these banks feel how important these are for their growth. It has been found that convergence of practices of new and innovative HR areas will benefit the banks to become more competitive.

- Confiscation of Duplicate Tuples in The Relational Databases

Abstract:
Relational database is a collection of relations. Duplicate tuple existence is common in many real time relational databases. There is no known, simple and direct technique for finding duplicated records in relational database. In a relational database, if the same real-world entity is represented by more than one tuple, then such tuples are called duplicate tuples. Finding duplicate tuples and then replacing them by one best tuple is called a fusion operation. Whenever duplicate tuples are found in the relations of any database, those tuples must be replaced with one special best approximate tuple that represents the joint information of all the duplicate tuples. Present study proposes new techniques to find duplicate tuples and then remove those duplicate tuples with the correct real world tuples. In the first step duplicate tuples in the relation are classified based on the class label and in the second step then for each set of duplicate tuples functional dependency method or union method is applied to replace duplicate tuples with the corresponding correct real world single tuple. One possibility is to replace one set of duplicate tuples with one correct real world tuple. Another possibility is to replace two or more sets of duplicate tuples in the relation by one set of correct real world tuples. Sometimes the removal of duplicate tuples in the relations of any relational database can create referential integrity violations. All such violations must be controlled and coordinated syntactically as well as semantically in relations.

Abstract:
Study of rainfall and runoff for any area and modeling it, is one of the important aspects for planning and development of water resources. The development of water resources and its effective management plays a vital role in development of any country more particularly in India, which is an agricultural based economy. Hence it is intended to develop a model of Rainfall and runoff to a river basin and also apply the methodology to Sarada River Basin which has drainage area of 1252.99 Sq.km. The basin is situated in Vishakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The rainfall and runoff data has been collected from the gauging stations of the basin apart from rainfall data from nearby stations. MNRCS-CN method has been adopted to calculate runoff. Various hydrological parameters like soil information, rainfall, land use and land cover (LU/LC) were considered to use in MNRCS-CN method. The depth of runoff has been computed for different land use patterns using, IRS-P4-LISS IV data for the study area. Based on the analysis, land use/land cover pattern of Sarada River Basin has been prepared. The land use/land cover patterns were also visually interpreted and digitized using ERDAS IMAGINE software. The raster data was processed in ERDAS and geo-referenced and various maps viz. LU/LC maps, drainage map, contour map, DEM (Digital elevation model) have been generated apart from rainfall potential map using GIS tool. The estimated runoff using MNRCS-CN model has been simulated and compared with that of actual runoff. The performance of the model is found to be good for the data considered. The coefficient of determination R2 value for the observed runoff and that of the computed runoff is found to be more than 0.72 for the selected watershed basin.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the quality of storm water and its recipient sea water. For this purpose, UV spectroscopy and pattern recognition methods were used. The treatment of the zero-order spectral data showed that almost all storm water samples were classified into two groups. The treatment of the first-order derivative spectral data showed that each of these groups can be divided into two subgroups, with few samples common, while the second-order derivatization has highlighted the final group of the common samples. Finally, sea water samples were classified into two groups after processing of the spectral data. The majority of the samples was classified to the first group and the rest of them to the second group.

Abstract:
Nowadays, cities around the world intend to use information technology to improve the lives of their citizens. Future smart cities will incorporate digital data and technology to interact differently with their human inhabitants. Among the key component of a smart city, we find the smart home component. It is an autonomic environment that can provide various smart services by considering the user's context information. Several methods are used in context-aware system to provide such services. In this paper, we propose an approach to offer the most relevant services to the user according to any significant change of his context environment. The proposed approach is based on the use of context history information together with user profiling and machine learning techniques. Experimentations show that the proposed solution can efficiently provide the most useful services to the user in an intelligent home environment.

Abstract:
Since the invention of the wheel, man has always sought to reduce effort to get things done easily. Ultimately, it has resulted in the invention of the Robot, an Engineering Marvel. Up until now, the major factor that hampers widespread usage of robots is locomotion and maneuverability. They are not fit enough to conform even to the most commonplace terrain such as stairs. To overcome this, we are proposing a stair climbing wheelchair robot that looks a lot like a normal wheelchair but with additional stair-climbing functionality to adjust itself according to the height of the step The primarily goal of the prescribed manuscript herewith is to analyze the functional requirements, optimization methods, dynamics and stability during a tracked robotic wheelchair's climbing of stairs mechanism. At first, the mechanical structure of the wheelchair is designed and the hardware composition of its full control system is devised. Secondly, based on the analysis of its stairs‐climbing process, the dynamical model of stairs‐climbing is established by using the classical mechanics method. Next, through simulation and experiments, the effectiveness of the dynamical model, its stability evaluation and performance parameters is verified. Such procedures will help in establishing a strong fundamental foundation steps to design and develop a standalone semi-autonomous wheelchair that will help and enable a physically challenged person by leg to climb difficult terrains like staircase and speed-breakers with ease and comfort. This design encompasses Renesas's Arduino compatible GR-KAEDE boards, servo motors, high torque DC motors and various peripheral devices as incorporated in design diagram. We have also extended the application of wheelchair by integrating collision avoidance mechanism.

Abstract:
Most distribution network design models existing in the literature have focused on minimizing the costs of inventory and transportation. During the analysis of supply chain of currency management problem it is observed that the transportation of currency from various sources to various destinations and the required inventory to be maintained to meet the emerging demands requires formulation of a combined problem. This framework aims to support the coordination of inventory and transportation activities to properly manage the inventory profiles and currency flows between source locations and distribution centers. This paper considers a multi-period inventory and transportation model for a single commodity. The key contribution of this paper is, a mathematical programming formulation of transportation cum inventory problem is proposed and an algorithm for this new formulation as a multi period decision process is intended. A numerical example of currency transportation cum inventory is presented to illustrate the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:
Current trends in developing technologies form important bridges to the future, fortified by the early and productive use of technology for enriching the human life. Speech signal processing, which includes automatic speech recognition, synthetic speech, and natural language processing, is beginning to have a significant impact on business, industry and ease of operation of personal computers. Apart from this, it facilitates the deeper understanding of complex mechanism of functioning of human brain. Advances in speech recognition technology, over the past five decades, have enabled a wide range of industrial applications. Yet today's applications provide a small preview of a rich future for speech and voice interface technology that will eventually replace keyboards with microphones for designing human machine interface for providing easy access to increasingly intelligent machines. It also shows how the capabilities of speech recognition systems in industrial applications are evolving over time to usher in the next generation of voice-enabled services. This paper aims to present an effective survey of the speech recognition technology described in the available literature and integrate the insights gained during the process of study of individual research and developments. The current applications of speech recognition for real world and industry have also been outlined with special reference to applications in the areas of medical, industrial robotics, forensic, defence and aviation.
