1. | Seasonal Variations Of Heavy Metals In Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) Collected From Sikkak Dam Of Tlemcen (Algeria)
Seasonal Variations Of Heavy Metals In Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) Collected From Sikkak Dam Of Tlemcen (Algeria)Abstract: Seasonal variations in the concentrations of six heavy metals (Cd, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ni) were determined from December 2010 to November 2011 in four different tissues (muscles, gills, gonads, and livers) of common carp (Cyprinuscarpio L., 1758) from Sikkak dam at Ainyoucef (Wilaya of Tlemcen) which is an important water source for irrigation and drinking in northwest part of Algeria. Heavy metals in fish samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) after dry digestion. One-way ANOVA and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to compare the data among seasons (level of 0,05). Mean concentrations were found to decrease in sequence of Cyprinuscarpio samples, in muscle and liver as Fe > Zn >Pb> Ni > Cu > Cd, in gills as Zn > Fe >Pb> Ni > Cu > Cd, and in gonads Fe > Zn > Ni >Pb> Cu > Cd. In samples Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations exceeded the tolerable values provided by FAO/WHO. The highest metals concentrations were found in liver followed by gills, by gonads, and by muscle. Heavy metal levels in tissues of carp were decreased in winter. The obtained results showed that the average values of Cd, Cu, Zn and Ni were at the highest levels in summer. The highest Pb levels were measured in the spring and Fe in autumn. It found that all tested metals in organs did not reveal any significant difference between different seasons (P > 0,05), (inter-season comparison).Key words: Heavy metal, pollution, Cyprinuscarpio, Sikkak dam, Tlemcen.

2. | Spatial and Temporal Determination of the Air Quality at Major Transportation Regions of the Hyderabad Metropolitan City: India.
Spatial and Temporal Determination of the Air Quality at Major Transportation Regions of the Hyderabad Metropolitan City: India.Abstract: At present much attention is given to find the evidence linking urban air pollution to acute and chronic illnesses amongst all groups' people. Therefore, monitoring of ambient concentrations of various air pollutants as well as quantification of the pollutant inhaled becomes quite important, specially in view of the fact that in many countries, policy decisions for reducing pollutant concentrations are mainly taken on the basis of their health impacts. Amounts of SO2, PM and NOx originating from the city-traffic are not less important than the emissions from other sources such as residential heating systems and industrial activities. This paper reveals that concentration for four pollutants namely sulfur dioxide, Nitrogen oxides, Total suspended particulate matter and respirable suspended particular matter from January 2010 to April 2013. The three year average maximum concentration of SO2, NOX, RSPM and TSPM are reported to be 5.4 μg/m3, 32.0 μg/m3, 127.4 μg/m3 and 318.6 μg/m3 at Panjagutta, Paradise, Balanagar and Panjagutta respectively.Key words: Transportation, Air Quality, Particulate Matter, Wind Rose, Distribution.

3. | Evaluation Of Flexure Strength Behavior Of Over Burnt Brick Ballast Aggregate Concrete
Evaluation Of Flexure Strength Behavior Of Over Burnt Brick Ballast Aggregate ConcreteAbstract: Regional conditions enforced engineers to generate a study on concrete which incorporate Over Burnt Brick Ballast Aggregate partially due to their abundance. 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% (M05, M10, M15, M20) incorporation was used as partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate in concrete. Analysis of incorporated concrete was done in fresh state as well in hardened state to evaluate different properties of concrete i.e. slump value, compaction factor value, unit weight, flexural strength and Los Angeles abrasion value. From experimental approach it is concluded that Concrete formed with over burnt brick ballast aggregate showed beneficial performance as compared with the concrete made up of natural aggregate obtained from Sargodha. It reduces the cost of concrete by reducing the aggregate cost and produces economical infrastructure system. The waste generated from the brick kiln is utilized efficiently, making environment friendly encouraging green construction.Key words: Over Burnt brick Ballast Aggregate, Kiln, Green construction Reference [1] The Dallas Sierra Club Take Action: Recycling Dallas, TX updated: 5/20/2008 http://texas.sierraclub.org/dallas/conservation/take-action/recycling.pdf [2] Ashfaq Hasan, The Art and Science of Brick Making, 1987: p. 107.

8. | Modelling Of Converter Characteristics of Wind Energy Conversion System during Voltage Sags
Modelling Of Converter Characteristics of Wind Energy Conversion System during Voltage SagsAbstract: The proposed system presents power-control strategies of a grid-connected hybrid generation system with versatile power transfer. This hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic energies. For this, an adaptive maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm along with standard perturbs and observe method will be used for the system. The turbine rotor speed is the main determinant of mechanical output from wind energy and Solar cell operating voltage in the case of output power from solar energy. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator is coupled with wind turbine for attaining wind energy conversion system. This paper addresses dynamic modeling and control of a grid-connected wind–PV–battery hybrid system with versatile power transfer. The hybrid system, unlike conventional systems, considers the stability and dispatch-ability of its power injection into the grid. The hybrid system can operate in three different modes, which include normal operation without use of battery, dispatch operation, and averaging operation. This paper also indicates the merits of the proposed system.Key words: wind energy conversion system, permanent magnet synchronous generator, voltage sags, maximum power point tracking (MPPT).

11. | Fault Detection and Isolation (Fdi) Via Neural Networks
Fault Detection and Isolation (Fdi) Via Neural NetworksAbstract: Recent approaches to fault detection and isolation for dynamic systems using methods of integrating quantitative and qualitative model information, based upon soft computing (SC) methods are used. In this study, the use of SC methods is considered an important extension to the quantitative model-based approach for residual generation in FDI. When quantitative models are not readily available, a correctly trained neural network (NN) can be used as a non-linear dynamic model of the system. However, the neural network does not easily provide insight into model. This main difficulty can be overcome using qualitative modeling or rule-based inference methods. The paper presents the properties of several methods of combining quantitative and qualitative system information and their practical value for fault diagnosis of Neural network.

Economic Stability to Papua New Guinea by Contribution in Reducing Carbon Emissions through Support of DCAbstract: Papua New Guinea is said to be PNG which is one of the most adversely affected small country by the impacts of climate change. Climate Change is one of the biggest challenges facing by them today, its devastation is widespread and intense. This issue has been discussed to evolve a method to support the nation in achieving the goal of emission reduction. The affects include those on Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry and Tourism which have major contribution towards GDP of the PNG. PNG has a very low economic growth rate according to several economic and social indicators, the performance of the PNG economy since independence has been disappointing. Thus, there is need of taking special attention & responsibilities by giving cooperation by the nations. This is to be done by especially developed ones so as to support the small island nations in adaptation to the impacts of climate change through financial support. Through this act, the Least Developed Countries will achieve economic stability as well as imparting in reduction of carbon emissions. This paper discusses to find a path and sort out the issue. The paper also discusses various negotiating points so as to achieve the said goal mutually and amicably.Key words: PNG, Climate Change, Least Developed Countries and negotiating points Reference [1] Bell, J.

13. | Filter Feeding Mechanism Simulated Machine Paradigms – A Theoretical Approach
Filter Feeding Mechanism Simulated Machine Paradigms – A Theoretical ApproachAbstract: Bionics is the emerging branch of bio engineering where in the structures and functions of organism are utilized to construct a gadget that resembles the structure and performs similar function. The functional principles are also used to construct special gadgets to perform functions in the form of simulated robots. Animal models have also been used in creation of many structures/machines, for example the organization and flight mechanism of birds, echolocation in bats, and internal ear of mammals have been taken as blue prints to design aero planes, radars and telegraphic systems respectively. Here we are using ciliary feeding mechanisms in animals to create a machine that can be used for a particular purpose. Cilia are minute finger like protoplasmic extensions serve different functions like movement, creation of water current propelling and filter feeding in animals. In many invertebrates and lower chordates rotor movements of cilia create whirl pool of water current to obtain food material. Animals those use cilia for feeding are referred to ciliary feeders or filter feeders. The filter feeders are highly diverse in their habit but share common requirements. The filter feeders may be sessile or free swimming forms but the principles of feeding remains the same. In lower chordates the pharngometry of pharynx plays a decisive role in filter feeding. The filter feeding mechanism is highly evolved in animals through well designed evolutionary paradigms.Key words: Bionics, Rotary motion, Turbines, whirl pool force Reference [1] Barrington E.J.W, Invertebrate structure and function, Nelson ELBS, London.

Survey of Bounding Theory in Arabic LanguageAbstract: Government and Binding Theory or Principles and Parameters Theory is a universal theory of Chomsky. Linguists of world believe that Chomsky made a revolution in linguistics by this theory. One of the sub-theories of Government and Binding Theory is Bounding Theory which explains the restrictions of grammatical movements. Chomsky claims that his theory is universal and you can perform it in all languages. This essay considers this sub-theory (Bounding Theory) in Arabic language whether is performable in this language. If the answer is positive which grounds movement include off? Some of the movement restrictions of Arabic language are like the other languages, but some of the restrictions and movements are more than what is said in this sub-theory by Chomsky.Key words: bounding theory, criterion, argument movement, argument movement.

19. | Trajectory Optimization of Launch Vehicles Using Steepest Descent Method – A Novel Approach
Trajectory Optimization of Launch Vehicles Using Steepest Descent Method – A Novel ApproachAbstract: Trajectory optimization of a generic launch vehicle is considered in this paper. The direct application of a nonlinear programming method is used in recent literature, which transforms the original problem into a nonlinear optimization problem.To study the rocket motion under the influence of gravitational field, 2-D simulator is developed. The rocket motion is analyzed for a gravity turn trajectory. The objective is to ensure desired terminal conditions as well as minimum control effort in the low dynamic pressure region. Design of optimal trajectory for a single stage rocket is a two point boundary problem. Trajectory is designed for a single stage liquid rocket.Trajectory is computed for a given initial and final condition using equations of motion of rocket in 2-D plane. Hamiltonian is formulated for the given constraints. The non-linear equations are solved using steepest descent method.It is assumed that the launch vehicle is not experiencing any perturbations. Results are compared for Runge-kutta and Euler‟s integration methods,which clearly brings out the potential advantages of the proposed approachKey words: Trajectory optimization, Steepest descent method, Euler‟s method, Runge-Kutta method Reference [1] Bruce A.

20. | A Study On Recent Trends In High Subsonic Flow Over Delta Wings
A Study On Recent Trends In High Subsonic Flow Over Delta WingsAbstract: An understanding of the vortical structures and vortex breakdown is essential for the development of highly maneuverable and high angle of attack flight. This is primarily due to the physical limits these phenomena impose on aircraft and missiles at extreme flight conditions. In today's competitive world, demands for more maneuverable and stealthy air vehicles have encouraged the development of new control concepts for separated flows and vortex flow.An overview is given about investigations on a 65◦ delta wing using the Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) techniques, carried out in the framework of Vortex flow experiment. For the delta wing with rounded leading edges and subsonic flow, the occurrence of a flat vortical structure as well as the onset of the primary vortex and the development of a vortex system consisting of an inner and outer vortex is described in dependency of the angle of attack and the Reynolds number. The Q -criterion is applied to the measured velocity data to estimate the circulation strength of individual vortices allowing for a quantitative description of the vortex developments and interactions. Furthermore, a case at transonic flow speeds (M = 0.8) is described, showing a sudden occurrence of vortex breakdown above the delta wing, most probably induced by a shock wave.Vortex Flow Experiment provided a variety of experimental data for a 65◦ swept delta wing sharp and blunt leading edges. Flow details including forces and moments, surface pressures,Pressure Sensitive Paint measurements, and off-surface flow variables from Particle Image Velocimetry were made available for comparisons with computational simulations. This paper concentrates on some typical problems of delta wings with rounded leading edges at subsonic speed: the prediction of the main leading edge separation, the generation of the second inner vortex, the effect of transition, and Reynolds number effects.Key words: Subsonic flow ,delta wing, Vortex flow Reference [1] Robert Konrath, Christian Klein, Andreas Schroder, "PSP and PIV investigations on the VFE-2 configuration in sub- and transonic flow". 2012.

21. | Supply Chain Management of Satellite Mechanisms- Product Development and Monitoring
Supply Chain Management of Satellite Mechanisms- Product Development and MonitoringAbstract: The project report primary deals with the Testing, Analysis, Modeling of the components of the Solar Array deployment Mechanism and a preliminary design. It also discusses the Monitoring of the supply chain management system for the procurement of the components from vendors. The deployment of solar array or any other appendage is a mission critical activity of any satellite. It is necessary to study about the deployment mechanism because once the array latches up, the satellite can have disturbance resulting in attitude change. To begin, a detail study of the drawings of all the components, assemblies and sub-assemblies incorporated in the deployment mechanism was done. A literary review was carried out to investigate the research done previously and the research currently being done in the field of deployment mechanisms. This was followed by the designing of the components of SADM in Unigraphics. The components were assembled with their respective sub-assemblies. The next step was to perform the testing of components on various testing machines & thereafter analyzing the results. A conceptual design was prepared for the Solar Array Deployment Mechanism. A proper approach was used for the supply chain management of the procurement of raw materials.The torsion spring parameters were calculated, which importantly included the pre rotation angle, spring angular and the time required by the wings to deploy. The hinges were tested on the auto hinge characterization setup and the torque value required to deploy the wings was compared with the required value. The testing of micro switches was performed and the values of loads at actuation point, deactuation point, over travel and the gap between actuation and deactuation was compared with the actual values required. Torsion springs were tested and it was seen whether the stiffness values of the torsion springs are in limit to the defined value or not.Several components of Solar Array Deployment Mechanism were modeled in 3D. A simulating model of the preliminary design was made using Solid Works in which the deployment of the wings was shown by making use of the servo motor. The values of the torque required for hinges, loads at actuation point, deactuation point, over travel and the gap between actuation and deactuation and stiffness values of the springs were approximately accurate. Some errors had occurred due to the improper setup of the components on the fixtures.Unigraphics was used for the modeling of the components of Solar array Deployment Mechanism. The preliminary design was modeled and simulated in Solid Works.Key words: Satrellite, supply chain, unigraphics Reference [1] B. Lakshmi Narayana, B.P.

25. | Pid Plus Fuzzy Logic Controller Based Electronic Load Controller For Self Exited Induction Generator
Pid Plus Fuzzy Logic Controller Based Electronic Load Controller For Self Exited Induction GeneratorAbstract: This paper deals with the electronic load controller for self exited induction generator using PID plus fuzzy logic controller. The self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) are considered to be well suited for generating electricity by means of conventional energy sources and for supplying electrical energy in remote and rural areas. Induction generators have many advantages such as cost, reduced maintenance, rugged, and simple construction, brushless rotor (squirrel cage). A three phase induction generator can be operated on a delta connection for supplying single phase loads. The main disadvantage of SEIG has is that it poor voltage regulation, and its value depends on the prime mover speed, capacitance, load current and power factor of the load. The electronic load controller (ELC) can be used for maintaining constant voltage and frequency of SEIG with variable consumer load driven by constant prime mover. This paper presents the simulation design and implementation of ELC using fuzzy logic method for an SEIG feeding single-phase load. The ELC consist of a rectifier, IGBT as a chopper switch, PI controller, voltage sensor, and resistive dump load in which power consumption was varied through the duty cycle of the chopper. However an ELC consist of electronics system, in general, has complex nonlinear model with parameter variation problem, and the control need to be very fast. The fuzzy logic based controller gives nonlinear control with fast response and virtually no overshoot. The simulation of ELC for self exited induction generator is carried out on MATLAB/SIMULINK. By this proposed ELC using FLC for SEIG we can maintain the constant voltage and frequency of SEIG with variable consumer load.Key words: Electronic load controller (ELC), Self excited induction generator (SEIG), Fuzzy logic controller and PID.

26. | Detection of an Alpha Rhythm of EEG Signal Based On EEGLAB
Detection of an Alpha Rhythm of EEG Signal Based On EEGLABAbstract: The EEG (Electroencephalogram) is the electrical activity of brain that can be detected and measured by putting electrodes according to international 10-20 system on the scalp. There are four major frequency rhythms in EEG. Alpha is one of the frequency bands. This rhythm is very important because of its application in seizure suppression and for treatment of depression in biofeedback method. Hence detection of alpha band's place and patient state has importance. However EEG waves contain useful information of brain, but we cannot see these information by observing in time domain directly. Hence we have to analyze these waveforms by signal processing techniques. In this paper, EEGLAB is used for processing and taking power spectrum density (PSD), which explains how the power of a signal is distributed with frequency. PSD of different subjects with open and closed eyes is shown in this paper. EEG data are downloaded from free database physionet in MIT/BIH database. It is observed that alpha rhythm in back of head and with closed eyes has dominant power in periodgram.Key words: Alpha rhythm, Artifact, dominant power, EEG,EEGLAB, PSD Reference [1] Steven Dowshen, MD.

30. | Half Swing Clocking Scheme at 45nm
Half Swing Clocking Scheme at 45nmAbstract: Achievement of high processor speed with low power consumption is an elemental factor in processor technology, especially for hand-held devices. The need for low power has caused a major paradigm shift where power dissipation has become a important consideration as performance and area. In CMOS circuits, dynamic power consumption is proportional to the transition frequency, capacitance, and square of supply voltage. Consequentially, lowering supply voltage delivers significant power savings compromising the speed of processor. Large portion of the total power is consumed in the clocking circuitry in embedded processor technology. So clock power can be reduced using half swing of clock scheme which will cut down the power dissipation and minimum speed degradation. In Digital circuits by using double-edge triggered flip flops (DETFFs), the clock frequency can be significantly reduced ideally, in half while preserving the rate of data processing.

32. | A Mathematical Model Using Gamma Process to Find Pulsatile LH Secretion in Women with Premenstrual Syndrome
A Mathematical Model Using Gamma Process to Find Pulsatile LH Secretion in Women with Premenstrual SyndromeAbstract: The uncertain arrival of shocks can be modeled as a Poisson process. When degradation takes place in very small increments almost continuously over time, a simpler and effective stochastic model of degradation can be derived as a limiting form of the compound poison process. The limiting form is obtained when the rate of damage occurrence approaches infinity in any finite time interval as the size of the increment tends to zero. Such a stochastic process is referred to as a gamma process because the cumulative damage up to time t follows the gamma distribution. The gamma process is suitable to model gradual damage monotonically accumulating over time in a sequence of tiny increments, such as wear, fatigue, degrading health index etc., In the application part the premenstrual syndrome has been proposed to result from excessive exposure to and or withdrawal of brain opioid activity during the luteal phase. The changes in the luteal LH pulse frequency failed to provide evidence that GnRH secretion is impaired, thus challenging the view that the neuroregulation of the menstrual cycle in women with PMS is markedly altered. The mathematical model has been proposed that for women suffering from severe, long term premenstrual symptoms, the symptom free interval associated with the follicular phase is compromised by the feelings of guilt and depression for neglect of families and professional responsibilities.Key words: Compound Poisson Process, EF, FSH, GnRH, ML, LH, LL. 2010 AMS Classification: 62HXX, 60 EXX Reference [1] Abdel – Hameed M.A gamma wear process.

33. | Design and Analysis of Gas Turbine Blade by Potential Flow Approach
Design and Analysis of Gas Turbine Blade by Potential Flow ApproachAbstract: The design features of the turbine segment of the gas turbine have been taken from the "preliminary design of a power turbine for maximization of an existing turbojet engine". It was observed that in the above design, after the rotor blades being designed they were analyzed only for the mechanical stresses. As the temperature has a significant effect on the overall stress in the rotor blades, a detailed study is carried out on the temperature effects to have a clear understanding of the combined mechanical and the thermal stresses. The first stage rotor blade of the gas turbine is analyzed for the mechanical axial and centrifugal forces. Knowing the fluid conditions at exit of the gas turbines, a value of static pressure was assumed at the turbine outlet. From this the corresponding enthalpy drop required in the power turbine is calculated. The peripheral speed of rotor and flows velocities is kept in the reasonable range so to minimize losses. In which the base profiles available and is analyzed later for flow conditions through any of the theoretical flow analysis methods such as "Potential flow Approach".Key words: Gas turbine blade, Mechanical and the thermal stresses, mechanical axial and centrifugal forces, Potential flow Approach, Static pressure, enthalpy drop Reference [1].

35. | The Dynamic Response Analysis of Auto Body Sheets to Node Loads
The Dynamic Response Analysis of Auto Body Sheets to Node LoadsAbstract: The 3D vehicle body model was built using UG NX6.0, then it was imported into the Workbench of Finite Elment Analyis Software ANSYS V12.1. In the Workbench, the modal analysis and harmonic response analysis of auto body sheets with 4 kinds of node load environment are implemented. Meanwhile the harmonic response analysis of engine's single sine vibration is obtained in stimulation processing based on the modal calculation. Then the rule of influence on the auto body sheets to node load environment was explored further. Node load environment increased the resonance amplitude of harmonic response analysis. What's more, the resonance amplitude increased as the increasing of node loads, which would increase the probability of vehicle structure failure.Key words: ANSYS-Workbench,vibration modal,dynamic response,harmonic response analysis,node load Reference [1] Lin, N.

Parametric Study and Design Optimization of Centrifugal Pump Impeller-A ReviewAbstract: Centrifugal pumps are widely used for irrigation, water supply plants, steam power plants, sewage, oil refineries, chemical plants, hydraulic power service, food processing factories and mines, because of their suitability in practically any service. Therefore it is necessary to find out the design parameters and working conditions that yield optimal output and maximum efficiency with lowest power consumption. Study indicates that Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is being increasingly applied in the design of centrifugal pumps. With the aid of the CFD approach, the complex internal flows in water pump impellers, can be well predicted, to speed up the pump design procedure. This paper exposes the various research work carried out in this direction especially in the content of parametric study and optimization of centrifugal pump impeller using CFD tool and DoE technique.

Active Watermarking Approach in Detecting Encrypted Traffic Attack by Making Correlation Scheme RobustAbstract: Network security is complex and challenging problem in today's world.Despite of many Sophisticated techniques,attack on the network continues to increase.At present,in order to hide the identity of the attacker,attackers send their attack through a chain of compromised hosts that are used as "stepping stones".In this paper we present an approach to find the connection chain of an intruder for tracing back to the origin especially if the attack through the traffic is encrypted one.Our approach will based on analysing correlations of encrypted connection between number of packets sent in outgoing connections and that of the incoming packets in the connection.We proposed a correlation scheme based on watermarking which will be robust against timing perturbation.This approach yields effective better results in terms of number of packets than in existing passive timing based coreelation.This paper presents a new method of embedding a watermark in traffic flow.Here for the purpose of embedding the watermark,the packet timing is adjusted for specific intervals.By slightly changing the packet timing,we achieve robust correlation of encrypted network against random timing perturbation.Key words: Correlation, IPD, Robustness, Stepping stones, Watermark Reference [1] X.Wang, D.

Energy Auditing Of Induction MotorAbstract: Energy crisis is one of the crucial problems faced by all the countries in the world due to depletion in natural resources used for energy generation and the huge investment for generating energy from alternate resources. This article suggested some of the major areas of energy conservation practices so that there may be a chance to see the state of Andhra Pradesh as "NO POWERCUT" state in India. A viable and immediate solution in this juncture is the energy conservation as cited by the slogan "Energy conserved is Energy Generated". Optimum use of electrical energy, not only results in cash savings, but also improves the economy of the country substantially. Hence there is an urgent need for energy management and control, which ultimately concludes with the practice of energy conservation. Energy as we all know is a crucial input in the process of economic, social and industrial development. Energy consumption is increasing at a very fast rate. With growing demand for energy ithas become essential to minimize energy leakages. This article suggest some of the methods to make the gap between power generation and demand is equal to Zero.Key words: Energy audit, induction motor, Neural network, Payback period calculations, Rewound motors Reference [1] O.C.

51. | A Newsubblock Partition Technique for PTS in OFDM Systems
A Newsubblock Partition Technique for PTS in OFDM SystemsAbstract: In recent years, OFDM has gained a lot of interest in diverse-digital communication applications. This has been due to its favorable properties like high spectral efficiency and robustness to channel fading. Some of the major drawbacks in OFDM are its high peak-to-average-power ratio(PAPR) of the transmitted signals and the synchronization of signals. In this paper, a new subblock partition technique has been proposed in which signal subbands are partitioned in no. of subblocks using pseudo-random partitioned technique and then interleaved partition technique is applied. It is observed that PAPR is reduced as compared to conventional PTS.Key words: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), partial transmit sequence (PTS), complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF), inter-carrier-interference (ICI),Power amplifier (PA) Reference [1] X.

53. | Controlling Of Grid Interfacing Inverter Using ZVS Topology
Controlling Of Grid Interfacing Inverter Using ZVS TopologyAbstract: In a high-power grid-connected inverter application, the six-switch three-phase inverter is a preferred topology with several advantages such as lower current stress and higher efficiency. To improve the line current quality, the switching frequency of the grid-connected inverter is expected to increase. Higher switching frequency is also helpful for decreasing the size and the cost of the filter. However, higher switching frequency leads to higher switching loss. The soft-switching technique is a choice for a high-power converter to work under higher switching frequency with lower switching loss and lower EMI noise. The inverter can realize zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation in all switching devices and suppress the reverse recovery current in all anti parallel diodes very well. And all the switches can operate at a fixed frequency with the new SVM scheme and have the same voltage stress as the dc-link voltage. In grid-connected application, the inverter can achieve ZVS in all the switches under the load with unity power factor or less. The aforementioned theory is verified in a 30-kW inverter. The reduced switching loss increases its efficiency and makes it suitable for practical applications.Index Terms— Grid connected soft switching, space vector modulation (SVM), three-phase inverter, zero-voltage switching (ZVS).

55. | Emergency Control Using Multifunctional DVR for Distribution Systems
Emergency Control Using Multifunctional DVR for Distribution SystemsAbstract: This paper discusses a new multifunctional dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) and closed loop controller using the Posicast and P+Resonant controllers. The closed loop controller using the Posicast and P+Resonant controllers is proposed in order to improve the transient response and eliminate the steady-state error in DVR response, respectively. The proposed algorithm is applied to some disturbances in load voltage caused by induction motors starting, and a three-phase short circuit fault. Also, the capability of the proposed DVR has been tested to limit the downstream fault current. The current limitation will restore the point of common coupling (PCC) (the bus to which all feeders under study are connected) voltage and protect the DVR itself. The innovation here is that the DVR acts as virtual impedance with the main aim of protecting the PCC voltage during downstream fault without any problem in real power injection into the DVR. Results of the simulation studies in the MATLAB/SIMULINK software environment indicate that the proposed control scheme with faults and induction motor under multifunctional DVR.Reference [1] A. K.

61. | A Survey Paper on Deduplication by Using Genetic Algorithm Alongwith Hash-Based Algorithm
A Survey Paper on Deduplication by Using Genetic Algorithm Alongwith Hash-Based AlgorithmAbstract: In today‟s world, by increasing the volume of information available in digital libraries, most of the system may be affected by the existence of replicas in their warehouses. This is due to the fact that, clean and replica-free warehouse not only allow the retrieval of information which is of higher quality but also lead to more concise data and reduces computational time and resources to process this data. Here, we propose a genetic programming approach along with hash-based similarity i.e, with MD5 and SHA-1 algorithm. This approach removes the replicas data and finds the optimization solution to deduplication of records.Key words: Database administration, evolutionary computing algorithm i.e, genetic algorithm and MD5 and SHA-1 algorithm.

7. | Comparison of Modulation Techniques Used In WCDMA
Comparison of Modulation Techniques Used In WCDMAAbstract: Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) was introduced to provide higher data rates in mobile communication. This technology provides the users with many multimedia rich applications such as video streams and high resolution pictures. Thus in order to enhance the performance of this technology it is necessary to determine a suitable modulation technique. Also suitable error correcting mechanisms need to be implemented to enhance these services. Analysis of these techniques is crucial to improve the performance of a system. We have considered two modulation techniques of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) used in WCDMA systems. We have studied the performance of these two modulation techniques and compared them using the parameters of eye pattern. This analysis will help us determine a suitable modulation technique for WCDMA. We have used MATLAB for the simulation of WCDMA transmitter sectionKey words: WCDMA, UMTS, TDMA, FDMA, CDMA, BER, SNR, Orthogonality, LOS, DSSS. Reference [1] M. A. Masud, M. Samsuzzaman, M.

8. | Effect of ZnS as an Impurity on the Physical Properties of KDP Single Crystals
Effect of ZnS as an Impurity on the Physical Properties of KDP Single CrystalsAbstract: Pure and ZnS doped KDP (KH2PO4) single crystals were grown from aquous solutions by the slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The influence of ZnS on the growth and characteristic properties of the KDP single crystals were examined. Powder X-ray diffraction, atomic absorption spectroscopic and Fourier transform infrared spectral measurements were done to characterize the grown crystals structurally and chemically. Thermal and mechanical stabilities were understood by making respectively the thermogravimetric and microhardness measurements. The optical transparency and second harmonic generation efficiency were understood by making respectively the UV-Vis-NIR spectral and nonlinear optical measurements. The AC and DC electrical measurements made on all the six grown crystals indicate a normal dielectric behaviour. The electrical parameters, viz. dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, AC electrical conductivity and DC electrical conductivity are found to increase with the increase in temperature in the temperature range (40 – 150oC ) considered in the present study. The AC and DC activation energies estimated are found to vary nonlinearly with the impurity concentration.Key words: Crystal growth, Doped crystals, KDP crystals, Physical Properties, X-ray diffraction Reference [1] R.J.Nelmes, G.M.Meyer and J.E.Tibballs.

9. | A Review: Multi Protocol Label Switching (Mpls)
A Review: Multi Protocol Label Switching (Mpls)Abstract: The demand for technology called MPLS is increasing day by day in most internet service provider networks. Majority of the carriers are deploying MPLS in their backbone networks to facilitate a number of services and applications such as virtual private networks, quality of service (QoS) and traffic engineering. MPLS is a scalable, protocol-independent protocol. MPLS allows for creating end-to-end circuits across any type of transport medium using any protocol. The primary benefit of MPLS is to eliminate the dependence on a particular OSI model data-link layer technology such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Frame Relay or Ethernet and eliminates the need for multiple layer-2 networks to satisfy different types of traffic. This paper reflects a detailed overview on MPLS with its architectural terminology, working and the services that it offers.Key words: MPLS, LDP, Shim, LSR, QoS, Label. Reference [1] S. Alouneh, S.

12. | Modeling and Simulation of Microgrid Connected Renewable Energy Resources with Svpwm Technique
Modeling and Simulation of Microgrid Connected Renewable Energy Resources with Svpwm TechniqueAbstract: The increasing tension on the global energy supply has resulted in greater interest in renewable energy resources. This presents a significant opportunity for distributed power generation (DG) systems using renewable energy resources, including wind turbines, photovoltaic (PV) generators, small hydro systems, and fuel cells .However, these DG units produce a wide range of voltages due to the fluctuation of energy resources and impose stringent requirements for the inverter topologies and controls. Usually, a boost-type dc–dc converter is added in the DG units to step up the dc voltage. This kind of topology, although simple may not be able to provide enough dc voltage gain when the input is very low, even with an extreme duty cycle. Also, large duty cycle operation may result in serious reverse-recovery problems and increase the ratings of switching devices. Furthermore, the added converter may deteriorate system efficiency and increase system size, weight, and cost. This paper deals with modeling and simulation of microgrid connected with renewable energy resources like Photo Voltaic panel and fuel cell. The inverter circuit is controlled by Space vector Pulse Width Modulation Technique.Key words: DG, PV, SVPWM.

13. | Anomaly Extraction Using Association Rule Mining
Anomaly Extraction Using Association Rule MiningAbstract: Today network security, uptime and performance of network are important and serious issue in computer network. Anomaly is deviation from normal behavior which is factor that affects on network security. So Anomaly Extraction which detects and extracts anomalous flow from network is requirement of network operator. Anomaly extraction refers to automatically finding in a large set of flows observed during an anomalous time interval, the flows associated with the anomalous event(s). It is important for root cause analysis, network forensics, and attack mitigation and anomaly modeling. We use meta data provided by several histogram based detectors to identify suspicious flows, and then apply association rule mining to find and summarize anomalous flows. Using Histogram based detector to identify anomalies and then applying Association rule mining, anomalies will be extracted.

14. | Performance Appraisal of River Stone as a coarse Aggregate in Concrete
Performance Appraisal of River Stone as a coarse Aggregate in ConcreteAbstract: Concrete has been proved to be a leading construction material for more than a century. The aggregate element in concrete comprises 60-75% of the total volume. Due to heavy increase in the construction activities, the crushed granite stone which are the conventional coarse aggregate is under depletion and also, now–a-days an acute shortage of these materials is experienced. Hence an alternative for the crushed granite stone has to be explored. Though the river stone has got high potential for being a natural aggregate, it is been rarely used as a concrete material. The present investigation envisages the potential utilization of river stone as a coarse aggregate in replacement of crushed stone aggregate in concrete. Concrete mixes with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement to crushed stone aggregate were considered in this study. The mix proportion is done as per IS 10262 (2009). The properties of fresh and hardened concrete were studied on the mixes considered. The results showed that there is an increase in slump value and strength properties and hence the use of river stones could be considered for future concrete.Key words: Aggregates; River stones; Fresh properties; Hardened properties Reference [1] P.

Mobile Element Routing, Data Gathering and Energy Efficient Data Transmission in Wireless Sensor NetworksAbstract: Recent research shows that significant energy saving can be achieved in wireless sensor networks with a mobile base station that collects data from sensor nodes via short-range communications. We consider the problem of gathering data from a sensor network using mobile elements. The system is limited to single receive antennas the non-optimization of encoding/decoding order. This project is to develop the Wireless Distributive System Management with high reliability, mobility and routing. We propose an algorithmic solution that to provide the energy efficient data path planning for the mobile system and we go for upper sampling in the encoding processing. The choice of implementing algorithm depends upon the power allocation, nodal analysis, data gathering and node localization. The system to multiple receives antennas for the non optimization of encoding/decoding order. Also the existing system is an approach to achieve lower data rate with sufficient performance (38Mbps). We should increase Data Rate of several Mb/sec (58Mbps). This can be achieved by linear processing. By balancing the system, the speed of the MIMO system is optimum.Key words: Wireless Sensor Network, Routing, Data Gathering, Energy efficient.

Enhancement in Power Generation in Hydroelectric Power Plants with Water Conservation- A Case StudyAbstract: Today, importance of water is realized better than ever before. Awareness on making judicious and optimum use of water is continuously on the increase. The hydroelectric power plants need huge quantity of water for their operation. Normally these plants are operated as per the generation schedule provided by the Load Dispatch Centre. The method presented in this paper is based on the fact that discharge of water is minimum when a turbine operates at maximum efficiency, thus conserving water and thereby enhancing power generation as compared to normal or conventional practice. A case study for Indira Sagar Hydroelectric power plant is presented and estimated for other hydroelectric power plants in cascade on river Narmada in India.Key words: Power generation, cascaded power plants, generation scheduling, water conservation, turbine efficiency.

17. | Artificial Neural Network Modeling for Dynamic Analysis of a Dam-Reservoir-Foundation System
Artificial Neural Network Modeling for Dynamic Analysis of a Dam-Reservoir-Foundation SystemAbstract: In this research, an Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) model is built and verified for quick estimation of the various maximum stresses, strains and hydrodynamic pressures developed on a gravity dam section due to seismic excitation. The developed model can be for accurate estimation of these values. There are no explicit equations that relate the input to the output variables. It requires the solution of a system of simultaneous of partial differential equations governing the phenomenon, taking into account the three media interactions, dam body (concrete),reservoir(water) and foundation (soil).In this research a data base of 900 different cases inputs and outputs is build using the ANSYS software. Each of these input variables is assigned a range from which values are selected. These ranges were set according to the recommendations of authorized sources relevant to this issue. The statistical software SPSS with the database mentioned above are used, after converting the input and output variables to dimensionless forms, to build a model of Artificial Neural Networks ANN. The results showed the capability of the model to predict the values of the outputs (stresses and hydrodynamic pressures) with high accuracy. The correlation coefficients between the observed outputs values and the predicted values model are between 97.8% and 99.7%.The MATLAB programming language is used to write a program to apply the Artificial Neural Networks model for obtaining the stresses and hydrodynamic pressures for any set of input variables, instead of using the long process of ANSYS modeling. For the purpose of further checking of the performance of the model it was applied to a three different data cases which were not exist in the database that was used to build the model. The comparison of the results of these three cases obtained by the Artificial Neural Networks model with those obtained by using the ANSYS software had showed an excellent capability of the model to predict the outputs with high accuracy. The correlation coefficients for these three cases are 99.6%, 99.9% and 99.8% for the horizontal acceleration only, the vertical acceleration only and the dual acceleration (horizontal and vertical) respectively.Reference [1.] Akkose M. &Simsek E., (2010), "Non-Linear Seismic Response of Concrete Gravity Dams to Near-Fault Ground Motions Including Dam-Water-Sediment-Foundation Interaction", Applied Mathematical Modeling, Volume 34, Issue 11, Pages 3685–3700.

Optimization of Heat Treatment Process for Internal Clutch by Using Taguchi TechniqueAbstract: Surface engineering and surface engineered materials find wide applications in engineering industries in recent years. Inconsistency in hardness and case depth has resulted in the further optimization of the process variables involved in surface hardening. In the present study, the following operating parameters viz. Carbon potential, holding position, furnace temperature, carburizing time, quenching medium, quenching temperature, quenching time, tempering temperature and tempering time were taken for optimization using the Taguchi and Factorial design of experiment concepts. From the experiments and optimization analysis conducted on EN8 materials it was observed that furnace temperature and quenching time had equal influence in obtaining a better surface integrity of the case hardened components using gas carburizing. In the case of induction hardening process, power potential played a vital role in optimizing the surface hardness and the depth of hardness.Key words: Internal clutch, hardness, taguchi techniques, optimization, process variables.

In recent years, reversible logic has emerged as one of the most important approaches for power optimization with its application in low power CMOS, optical information processing, quantum computing and nanotechnology. This research proposes a new implementation of adder in reversible logic. The design reduces the number of gate operations compared to the existing adder reversible logic implementations.

21. | Attention-Grabbing Train Car Advertisements
Attention-Grabbing Train Car AdvertisementsAbstract: Younger people have changed the way they access information in recent years, increasing the number of opportunities to take advantage of transit advertising. Train car advertising in particular boasts a high contact rate and extended length of contact. This study seeks to understand the correlations between passenger information and riding conditions when it comes to train car advertising (hanging posters, above-window posters, and sticker ads) in order to discover the ideal way to advertise inside passenger trains. Specifically, the study first tries to find the correlations among three factors: (1) whether or not passengers pay attention to train car advertisements, (2) basic passenger information (age and gender), and (3) riding conditions (riding time, average number of trips, etc.). Once data on riding conditions is collected, it is then grouped using a cluster analysis and Quantification Theory Type III in order to establish the relationship of the data to passenger attention towards train advertisements once again. Then, in order to conduct an in-depth analysis, a Categorical Automatic Interaction Detector (CAID) analysis is done on each group, using passengers pay attention to train advertisements as the objective variable and basic passenger information as the explanatory variable. The results of the CAID analysis are then used to study the format of existing and future train car advertisements.Key words: Train Car Advertisements, AIDA model, CAID analysis Reference [1] Amasaka, K., (2005), ―Constructing a Customer Science Application System CS-CIANS - Development of a global strategic vehicle Lexus utilizing New JIT -‖, WSEAS Transactions on Business and Economics, Issue 3, Vol.2, pp. 135-142.

Triple Domination Number and Its Connectivity of Complete GraphsAbstract: In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbours. A subset S of V is called a dominating set in G if every vertex in V is dominated by at least one vertex in S. The domination number γ (G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. A set S ⊆𝑉 is called a Triple dominating set of a graph G if every vertex in V dominated by at least three vertices in S. The minimum cardinality of a triple dominating set is called Triple domination number of G and is denoted by Tγ(G). The connectivity κ (G) of a connected graph G is the minimum number of vertices whose removal results in a disconnected or trivial graph. In this paper we find an upper bound for the sum of the Triple domination number and connectivity of a graph and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs.

This work concentrates on the design of a reconfigurable architecture for both turbo and LDPC codes decoding. The major contributions of this work are: i) tackling the reconfiguration issue introducing a formal and systematic treatment that, to the best of our knowledge, was not previously addressed and ii) proposing a reconfigurable LDPC decoder architecture and showing that wide flexibility can be achieved with a small complexity overhead. Obtained results show that dynamic switching between most of considered communication standards is possible without pausing the decoding activity.Key words: FACTS system stability, three phase fault.

29. | Study of Drive Mechanisms of Bicycle, Tricycle or Like Vehicles to Optimize Operating Performance - A Review
Study of Drive Mechanisms of Bicycle, Tricycle or Like Vehicles to Optimize Operating Performance - A ReviewAbstract: A cycle or cycle rickshaw is a small-scale local means of transport. Cycle rickshaws are human-powered, a type of tricycle designed to carry passengers in addition to the driver. Tricycles are used primarily for commercial transportation. Various locally made configurations of bicycle or tricycle are available. The present form of cycle has many shortcomings. One of the major problems faced by available bicycle or tricycle is its less efficiency or mechanical advantage. This paper reviews patent (which are now open for public access) and experimental work brought by researchers on drive mechanism of cycle in order to optimize its operating performance. An individual idea or any possible combination of different ideas can be used for optimizing performance of driving mechanism for cycle.Key words: Cycle, Mechanical advantage, Drive mechanism, Sprocket, Chain.

31. | Short Term Air Quality Forecast Using Data Driven Approaches
Short Term Air Quality Forecast Using Data Driven ApproachesAbstract: Predicting air quality is a challenge, when there are uncertainties involved in the availability as well as accuracy of the desired data. Most of the developing countries including India often have no formalized forecasting approach. Little data (which may be of suspect quality) and inadequate institutional structure to support data collection are the main concerns. Present study suggests a forecasting tool that is seldom used in the field of air quality forecasting; but is a proven robust technique. Thirty six models have been developed with Genetic Programming (GP) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) considering daily average concentrations of meteorological parameters as well as pollutant concentrations spanning from 2005-2008 for one of the most polluted metropolitan city of India. The models are specific to cases when all the significant input parameters ( data) are not available because of various reasons. ANN is used as a benchmarking tool for estimation and prediction of air quality and the results are compared with GP .Performance of all the models has been assessed using r (correlation coefficient), RMSE (root mean square error) & d (d statistics).Compared to ANN, GP models seem to work well in all cases considered because of unavailability of data and have an advantage of pollution forecasting equation generated by the model. These equations can be of help for real time forecasting.Key words: Air quality, ANN, GP, Western Maharashtra Reference [1] Padmanabha Murthy B., Environmental Meteorology, I. K.

34. | Simulation Application for Optimization of Solar Collector Array
Simulation Application for Optimization of Solar Collector ArrayAbstract: Solar systems offer a comparatively low output density , so increasing the output always means a corresponding increase in the size of the collector area. Thus collector arrays are occasionally constructed (i.e. with different azimuth angles and/or slopes, which be imposed by the location and structure available to mount the collector. In this paper is developed simulation application for optimization for the solar collector array position and number of collectors in regard of maximum annual energy gain and thermal efficiency. It is analyzed solar collector array which has parallel and serial connected solar collectors with different tilt, orientation and thermal characteristics. Measurements are performed for determine the thermal performance of the system. Using the programming language INSEL it is developed simulation program for the analyzed system where optimization is done through parametric runs in the simulation program. Accent is given on the SE orientated collectors regarding their tilt and number, comparing two solutions-scenarios and the current system set situation of the in means of efficiency and total annual energy gain. The first scenario envisages a change of angle from 35 to 25 solar panels on the SE orientation, while the second scenario envisages retaining the existing angle of 35 and adding additional solar collector. Scenario 1 accounts for more than 13% energy gain on annual basis while Scenario 2 has 2% bigger thermal efficiency.Key words: solar collector, array, tilt angle, efficiency, energy Reference [1] International Energy Agency (2012): Key World Energy Statistics, IEA [2] ViessmannWerke , Technical guide for solar thermal systems, 2009 [3] Hottel, H.

Growth and Characterization of ADP Single Crystals Added With CdSAbstract: Pure and CdS added (in five concentrations) ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate (ADP) single crystals have been grown at room temperature by the free evaporation method. The six grown crystals have been characterized structurally, chemically, thermally, mechanically, optically and electrically using the available standard methods. The powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectral measurements confirm the crystal and molecular structures. The atomic absorption spectroscopic measurement confirms the presence of impurity in the CdS added crystals. Thermogravimetric, UU-Vis-NIR spectral and microhardness measurements indicate respectively the thermal stability, optical transparency and mechanical stability of the grown crystals. Results of the non-linear optical measurements indicate the enhancement of second harmonic generation efficiency due to CdS addition. The DC and AC electrical measurements made in the temperature range 40-1500C indicate an increase of the electrical parameters, viz. dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and AC and DC electrical conductivities with the increase in temperature for all the six crystals studied.Key words: ADP crystal, Crystal growth, Doped crystals, Physical properties, X-ray diffraction.

Leachate Characterization and Assessment of Ground Water Pollution near MSW Dumpsite of Mavallipura, BangaloreAbstract: Leachate and groundwater samples were collected from municipal solid waste dumpsite of Mavallipura which comes under Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike Bangalore. An attempt has been made to characterize contaminated dumpsite and its adjacent area to study the possible impact of leachate percolation on groundwater quality. Characterization of various physico chemical parameters was carried out on selected ground water samples as well as leachate obtained from the dump site. It has been observed that, in the ground water the concentrations of various parameters such as Ca2+, Mg2+, NO3-, TDS, TA are on the higher side than the prescribed limits. The result shows that the leachate analyzed for various parameters are also on the higher side. This study reveals that the most of the parameters are exceeding their acceptable limit and hence significant impact on the surrounding soil and ground water quality.Key words: Municipal Solid Waste, Ground water, Leachate, physico chemical parameters Reference [1].

The Use of HYSPLIT Model to Determine the Affected Areas of Dispersed Sea-Salt Particles of Dried Urmia LakeAbstract: Urmia Lake is one of the largest permanent hypersaline lakes in the world. In order to study the effects of aridity of Urmia Lake in northwestern Iran on local air quality, the Hybrid Single- Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model is used to model the dispersion of remained sea-salt particles on the basin. Due to determine the possible affected areas at periphery of Urmia Lake and estimate the aerosol concentration in these areas, 24 hour dispersion has been modeled under various wind directions. Wind directions have been chosen regarded to prevailing wind in the area which is northeast-southwest. The maximum number of affected areas of sea-salt particles dispersion will be under 240 degree wind while the highest concentration of 6400 µg/m3 will occur under 90 degree wind.Key words: Urmia Lake, Sea-salt aerosols, HYSPLIT Reference [1] M.

Structural and Dielectric Properties of Pb2+ Doped ZnO Nanocrystalline Thin FilmsAbstract: Various concentration of lead (Pb2+) doped ZnO nanocrystalline thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition and dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity properties were studied as a function of frequency at different temperatures. The XRD results revealed that prepared nanocrystalline films have wrutzite structure and the crystallite sizes of doped ZnO increased with increasing Pb2+ concentration. The variation of AC conductivity (ζac) as function of temperature indicates that the conduction is due to thermally activated charge carriers. The DC conductivity (ζdc) value of doped ZnO at room temperature has been found to increase by more than two orders of magnitude from pure ZnO nanocrystalline thin film. The AC electrical conductivity of doped films is higher than that of pure ZnO film. The observed ζac values are found to be more than ζdc values.Key words: Nanocrystalline thin film, CBD, XRD, TEM, dielectric constant, dielectric loss, AC conductivity, DC conductivity Reference [1] F.

Air was used as a gas phase. Water and four aqueous solutions of 10% concentration methanol, ethanol, (were used to simulate the behavior of non-coalescing organic liquids) 50% glycerol and 2% Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) were used to simulate the behavior of coalescing viscous liquids. Polyethylene-non-porous-solid particles with a concentration of (50) Kg/m3 were used as solid phase. Superficial gas velocity varied from 0.01 m/s to 0.1 m/s and air dispersed into the center of the draught tube by using a porous gas distributor. The results showed that (εg) increased with increasing gas velocity and coalescence inhibition of liquid, while Tm and Tc decrease with increasing gas velocity. It was found that increasing liquid viscosity and coalescence reduces (εg) but increases (Tm) and (Tc). The gas holdup was correlated with dimensionless groups and independent parameter with correlation coefficient is 0.967, the following correlation is obtained.Key words: Airlift reactor; mixing time; Circulation time; Liquid-phase properties Reference [1] Sánchez Mirón, A., Cerón García, M.C., García Camacho, F., Molina Grima, E.and Sarkar, S., Kaustubha, M. and Meikap, B.C, Hydrodynamic modeling of a novel multistage gas–liquid external loop airlift reactor.

40. | Simulation Model of Hydro Power Plant Using Matlab/Simulink
Simulation Model of Hydro Power Plant Using Matlab/SimulinkAbstract: Hydropower has now become the best source of electricity on earth. It is produced due to the energy provided by moving or falling water. History proves that the cost of this electricity remains constant over the year. Because of the many advantages, most of the countries now have hydropower as the source of major electricity producer. The most important advantage of hydropower is that t is green energy, which mean that no air or water pollutants are produced, also no greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are produced which makes this source of energy environment-friendly. It prevents us from the danger of global warming. This paper describes a generalized model which can be used to simulate a hydro power plant using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The plant consists of hydro turbine connected to synchronous generator, which is connected to public grid. Simulation of hydro turbine and synchronous generator can be done using various simulation tools, In this work, SIMULINK/MATLAB is favored over other tools in modeling the dynamics of a hydro turbine and synchronous machine. The SIMULINK program in MATLAB is used to obtain a schematic model of the hydro plant by means of basic function blocks. This approach is pedagogically better than using a compilation of program code as in other software programs .The library of SIMULINK software programs includes function blocks which can be linked and edited to model. The main objectives of this model are aimed to achieve some operating modes of the hydro plant and some operating tests.Key words: Hydro power plant, Synchronous machine, Hydro Turbine, Excitation.

41. | Cost Optimization for Series-Parallel Petroleum Transportation Pape-Lines under Reliability Constraints
Cost Optimization for Series-Parallel Petroleum Transportation Pape-Lines under Reliability ConstraintsAbstract: This paper uses an ant colony meta-heuristic optimization method to solve the cost-optimization problem in petrolum industry. This problem is known as total investment-cost minimization of series-parallel transportation pape lines. Redundant Electro-Pumpe coupled to the papes lines are included to achieve a desired level of availability. System availability is represented by a multi-state availability function. The Electro-pumpe (pape-lines) are characterized by their capacity, availability and cost. These electro-pumpes are chosen among a list of products available on the market. The proposed meta-heuristic seeks to find the best minimal cost of petrol transportation system configuration with desired availability. To estimate the series-parallel pape lines availability, a fast method based on universal moment generating function (UMGF) is suggested. The ant colony approach is used as an optimization technique. An example of petrol transportation system is presented.Index Terms: Ant colony; Electro-pumpe; Redundancy optimization; Multi-state systems; Universal generating function (UMGF), petrol transportation Reference [1] Ushakov, Levitin and Lisnianski, Multi-state system reliability: from theory to practice.

42. | Linear and Nonlinear Behavior Analysis of a Flexible Shaft Supported By Hydrostatic Squeeze Film Dampers
Linear and Nonlinear Behavior Analysis of a Flexible Shaft Supported By Hydrostatic Squeeze Film DampersAbstract: Linear and non linear models of a hydrostatic squeeze film damper are presented and numerically simulated by a step by step method on a modal basis, in order to study the non-linear dynamic behaviour of a flexible shaft. The Reynolds equation is solved at each step in order to evaluate the film forces. The equations of motion are then integrated by using the Newmark method with a variable step in order to obtain speeds and the position for the next step. The non-linear hydrostatic forces are determined by the application of the boundary conditions, and the integration of the pressure field is determined by resolution of Reynolds equation, by applying the central finite difference method. The aim of this research is to study the effect of pressure ratio, viscosity, and rotational speeds on the vibratory responses and the transmitted bearing forces. The results are discussed, analysed and compared to a linear approach which is restricted to only small vibrations around the equilibrium position. The results show good agreements between linear and non-linear methods when the unbalance force is small, and then the linear model may be used for small vibrations in order to reduce compilation time during the iterative process.Key words: Journal Hydrostatic Bearing, Linear and Non-Linear Dynamic Behaviour, Squeeze Film Dampers, Rotor Dynamic.

46. | Solving the Accuracy Metrics and Diversity Measures For Personalised Recommendation
Solving the Accuracy Metrics and Diversity Measures For Personalised RecommendationAbstract: In the vast amount of information in the internet, to give individual attention for each users, the personalised recommendation system is used, which uses the collaborative filtering method. By the result of the survey did with some papers, the main problems like the cold start and the sparsity which were found previously have been overcome. Filtering the users when the number is large is done by the nearest neighbour approach or by the filtration approach. Due to some popular objects the accuracy of the data's are lost. To remove this influence, the method which is proposed here is a network based collaborative filtering which will create a user similarity network, where the users having similar interests of item or movies will be grouped together forming a network. Then we calculate discriminant scores for candidate objects. Validate the proposed approach by performing random sub-sampling experiments for about 20 times to get the accurate results and evaluate the method using two accuracy criteria and two diversity measures. Results show that the approach outperforms the ordinary user-based collaborative filtering method by not only enhancing the accuracy but also improving the diversity.Key words: Recommender system, Collaborative filtering, Personalised recommendation, User similarity network, Nearest neighbour Reference [1] Jeong, B., Lee, J., & Cho, H.

49. | Design of FFT Algorithm in OFDM Communication System
Design of FFT Algorithm in OFDM Communication SystemAbstract: The present communication system is limited by three major factors. Those are System capacity, higher data rates and interference. To meet these requirements, 802.11-based wireless LANs has fascinated interest in providing higher data rates and greater system capacities. Among them, the 802.11a standard based on OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation scheme is defined to meet high-speed and large-system-capacity challenges. To implement OFDM System, FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) are the major hardware requirements. The System capacity is increased by increasing the FFT processor size. Higher data rates are achieved by proper architecture of FFT. This paper presents the design of a 256 point modified 𝑅𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑥 22 pipelined FFT/IFFT processor to achieve the higher data rates. And data constellation, symbol detection at transmitter and receiver is done by using QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) Modulation for easy of designing in OFDM communication system. The design has been coded in Verilog and the simulations and synthesis are carried out by using Xilinx 9.2i.Key words: OFDM, Radix 22 Algorithm, FFT, QPSK Reference [1] Chi-Hong Su and Jen-Ming Wu, ―Reconfigurable FFT Design for Low Power OFDM Communication Systems", Proc. of the 2006 IEEE 10th Intern.

50. | Effect of Potassium Chloride on Fly Ash Based Blended Cement Concrete
Effect of Potassium Chloride on Fly Ash Based Blended Cement ConcreteAbstract: This paper presents the effect of potassium chloride (KCl) on blended cement concrete (BCC). The BCC was prepared with KCl concentrations of 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 g/l by adding in deionised water. In addition to this, control specimen was prepared with deionised water (without KCl) for the purpose of comparison. The setting times and compressive strength were evaluated for 28 and 90 days apart from studying rapid chloride ion permeability. The results show that, as KCl concentration increases, there is retarding in initial and final setting of blended cement (BC). The compressive strength of BCC increases as the concentration of KCl goes up at both 28 and 90 days. Compressive strengths of BCC show a significant increase at 10 g/l when compared with the control specimens. It was also observed that chloride ion permeability has decreased with an increase in the concentration of the KCl. X-ray diffraction analysis has been carried out for BCC specimens at KCl concentration of 10 g/l in deionised water.Key words: KCl, Setting time, Compressive strength, Chloride ion permeability, X-ray diffraction Reference [1] Kejin W, Daniel EN and Wilfrid AN (2006).

51. | Hand Gesture Spotting Using Sign Language through Computer Interfacing
Hand Gesture Spotting Using Sign Language through Computer InterfacingAbstract: Sign Language is the most natural and expressive way for the hearing impaired. A hybrid feature descriptor, which combines the advantages of SURF & Hu Moment Invariant methods, is used as a combined feature set to achieve a good recognition rate along with a low time complexity. To further increase the recognition rate and make the recognition system resilient to view-point variations, the concept of derived features from the available feature set is introduced. K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used for hybrid classification of single signed letter. This paper presents a methodology which recognizes the Indian Sign Language (ISL) and translates into a normal text. The methodology consists of three stages, namely a training phase, a testing phase and a recognition phase. Combinational parameters of Hu invariant moment and structural shape descriptors are created to form a new feature vector to recognize sign. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can successfully recognize hand gesture with 96% recognition rate.Key words: Finger Spelled Word Recognition, Hu Moment Invariant, Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Sign Language, Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF), Support Vector Machine (SVM).

54. | An Analysis of Harmonic Mitigation to Reduce Transmission Losses in Power System
An Analysis of Harmonic Mitigation to Reduce Transmission Losses in Power SystemAbstract: The application of power electronics devices such as arc furnaces, adjustable speed drives, computer power supplies etc. are some typical non-linear characteristic loads used in most of the industrial applications are increasing rapidly due to improved technical devices , digital controller and flexibility in controlling the power usage. The use of the above power electronic devices in power distribution system gives rise to harmonics and reactive power disturbances. The harmonics and reactive power cause a number of undesirable effects like heating, equipment damage and electromagnetic interference effects in the power system. There are many conventional method to mitigate the harmonics but they are giving not satisfactory result To achieve a satisfactory harmonic content, the number of pulses being increased up to 48-pulses, in the present work the voltage source inverter (VSI) based on 48-pulses is used; this is constituted by four three-level converters linked by four phase-shifting transformers. This device exhibits a low harmonic rate on the AC side. The 48-pulses StatCom can be utilized in high power applications without AC filters. The StatCom is used in voltage regulation mode and it can be used as compensator (Var mode). Simulation results are plotted to show the appropriateness of the proposition. A comparative study on the performances of voltage and harmonic control strategies is being used in the present work and it has been observed from simulation result that these VSI have some disadvantages such as high cost, slow response, and large size etc., during real-time implementation But by using VSI one can avail the advantages like reconfigurable hardware designs, low cost developments, selection of bit width according to applications etc. A techno-economic analysis have also being carried, that shows approximately Rs.2 lack yearly saving with pay back of 6 years approx.Key words: Harmonic reduction in Power System, Power Factor Correction and Improve MVA Rating of transformer Reference [1] [2] D.A.Paice, Power Electronic Converter Harmonics-Multi-pulse Methods for Clean Power.

55. | Design and Analysis of Multi Level D-STATCOM to Improve the Power Quality
Design and Analysis of Multi Level D-STATCOM to Improve the Power QualityAbstract: In the last decade, the electrical power quality issue has been the main concern of the power companies. Power quality is defined as the index which both the delivery and consumption of electric power affect on the performance of electrical apparatus. From a customer point of view, a power quality problem can be defined as any problem is manifested on voltage, current, or frequency deviation that results in power failure. The power electronics progressive, especially in flexible alternating-current transmission system (FACTS) and custom power devices, affects power quality improvement. This paper presents an investigation of seven-Level Cascaded H - bridge (CHB) Inverter as Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) in Power System (PS) for compensation of reactive power and harmonics. The advantages of CHB inverter are low harmonic distortion, reduced number of switches and suppression of switching losses. The DSTATCOM helps to improve the power factor and eliminate the Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) drawn from a Non-Liner Diode Rectifier Load (NLDRL). The D-Q reference frame theory is used to generate the reference compensating currents for DSTATCOM while Proportional and Integral (PI) control is used for capacitor dc voltage regulation. A CHB Inverter is considered for shunt compensation of a 11 Kv distribution system. Finally a level shifted PWM (LSPWM) and phase shifted PWM (PSPWM) techniques are adopted to investigate the performance of CHB Inverter. The results are obtained through Matlab/Simulink software package.Key words: FACTS, DSTATCOM, Cascaded H - bridge (CHB) Inverter, Total Harmonics Distortion (THD).

56. | The Material Behavior Of Plastered-Bamboo Wall Towards Lateral Loads
The Material Behavior Of Plastered-Bamboo Wall Towards Lateral LoadsAbstract: This study determined the lateral resistance capacity of the plastered-bamboo wall. The test was carried out on three pieces of plastered-bamboo wall. The first was plastered-bamboo wall without bracing (DP-TB), second was plastered-bamboo wall using bamboo bracing (DP-BB), and the last is a plastered-bamboo wall which uses wiremesh bracing (DP-BK). The static load (monotonic) test method was used to determine the correlation between the lateral resistance and the deflection of plastered-bamboo wall. The monotonic testing was only conducted until the load has experience 20% decrease from peak load. The test results showed that the plastered-bamboo wall using wiremesh bracing had the peak load capacity, energy dissipation, and higher ductility than the plastered-bamboo wall using bamboo bracing. Elastic stiffness of the plastered-bamboo wall using bamboo bracing was 1.27 greater than plastered-bamboo wall using wiremesh bracing. The ultimate load resulted from the experiment of the plastered-bamboo wall with either bamboo or additional wiremeshbracingwas 25.52 kN and 26.37 kN or two times greater than the results of an analysis of the flexural failure based on Subedi method (1991) which was 14.39 kN.Key words: plastered-bamboo, bracing, lateral load Reference [1] Ash, C., 2004,Reversed Cyclic In-Plane of Load-Bearing Plastered Straw Bale Walls.

57. | Design and Implementation of Flexible D-Statcom for Mitigating Power Quality Problems and Improve the Distribution System Performance
Design and Implementation of Flexible D-Statcom for Mitigating Power Quality Problems and Improve the Distribution System PerformanceAbstract: This paper gives a detailed information about flexible D-STATCOM, which is used to mitigate and reduces all types of faults and operate as a Distributed Generation. When the main source is disconnected it supplies power to sensitive loads and doesn‟t interrupt the supply power to the loads. Thus D-STATCOM operates same as a flexible D-STATCOM and hence is known as Flexible D-STATCOM. The performance of Flexible D-STATCOM system is to mitigate power quality problems and improve distribution system performance under all types of system related disturbances and system unbalanced faults, such as Line-to-Line and DLG faults under islanding condition. 12-pulse D-STATCOM configuration is utilized with IGBT which is designed and is used in determining the graphical representation of the D-STATCOM using the software PSCAD/EMTDC electromagnetic transient simulation program. The reliability and robustness of the control schemes in the system is determined by the voltage disturbances occurred by Line to line and double line to ground faults and islanded operating condition are thus verified in the results obtained in simulation.Index Terms: D-STATCOM Voltage Sags, Distribution System, Faults, Energy Storage Systems, Islanding Condition.

Efficient VLSI Architecture For CSD Basedsub-Band Tree Structure Using 4-Tap FilterAbstract: A sub-band tree structure hardware design based on canonic signed digit (CSD) architecture is presented in this paper. We have proposed based on canonic signed digit (CSD) arithmetic for low complexity and efficient implementation of sub-band tree structure. The canonic signed digit (CSD) technique has been applied to reduce the number of full adders required by 2's complement based deigns. This architecture is suitable for high speed on-line applications. With this architecture the speed of the sub-band tree structure is increased with a factor two but the occupied area of the circuit is less than double. It has 100% hardware utilization efficiency.Key words: Sub-band tree structure (SBTS), One, Two, Three Level, Canonic signed digit (CSD) scheme, Xilinx simulation. Reference [1] S.G.

59. | A Simple Experimental Analysis on Transportation Problem: A
New Approach to Allocate Zero Supply or Demand for All
Transportation Algorithm
A Simple Experimental Analysis on Transportation Problem: A New Approach to Allocate Zero Supply or Demand for All Transportation AlgorithmAbstract: Basic feasible solution is the initial solution of transportation problem. There are several transportation algorithms to determine feasible solution. These algorithms are only way to get optimal solution because optimal solution obtains from the initial basic feasible solution using some optimality test methods such as MODIModified Distribution Method and Stepping Stone Method where MODI is the most efficient method to determine optimal solution. Before applying MODI on feasible solution we have to resolve degeneracy if it occurs and also make sure that allocations (non-negative basic variable) are should not form a closed loop when we draw horizontal and vertical paths from allocated cells to allocated cells. Degeneracy occurs when supply and demand are satisfied simultaneously it can be resolved if one row or column of them is crossed out and another remains with zero supply or demand. Difficulty arise when if all uncrossed out rows or column have (remaining) zero supply or demand. In that case, Vogel‟s Approximation Method (VAM) and some other methods solve that by allocating these zero supply or demand using Least Cost Method (LCM). But in some problem when we make allocation by LCM in that particular case then closed loop is formed and not possible to apply any optimality test method. So that optimal solution is not possible to determine in that case. In this paper we resolve this particular problem and find a new approach to allocate zero supply or demand so that closed loop will not be formed.Key words: Transportation Problem (TP), LCM, VAM, MODI, Degeneracy, Closed Loop.

A Review on Current Research and Development in Abrasive Waterjet MachiningAbstract: Abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM) is an emerging machining technology option for hard material parts that are extremely difficult-to-machine by conventional machining processes. A narrow stream of high velocity water mixed with abrasive particles gives relatively inexpensive and environment friendly production with reasonably high material removal rate. Because of that abrasive waterjet machining has become one of the leading manufacturing technologies in a relatively short period of time. This paper reviews the research work carried out from the inception to the development of AWJM within the past decade. It reports on the AWJM research relating to improving performance measures, monitoring and control of process, optimizing the process variables. A wide range of AWJM industrial applications for different category of material are reported with variations. The paper also discusses the future trend of research work in the same area.Index Terms: Abrasive waterjet machining, Process parameter, Process optimization, Monitoring, Control. Reference [1].

61. | A Review of Research on Improvement and Optimization of Performance Measures for Electrical Discharge Machining
A Review of Research on Improvement and Optimization of Performance Measures for Electrical Discharge MachiningAbstract: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non conventional machining method which can be used to machine electrically conductive work pieces irrespective of their shape, hardness and toughness. High cost of non conventional machine tools, compared to conventional machining, has forced us to operate these machines as efficiently as possible in order to reduce production cost and to obtain the required reimbursement. To achieve this task, machining parameters such as pulse on time, pulse off time, discharge current, gap voltage, flushing pressure, electrode material, etc. of this process should be selected such that optimal value of their performance measures like Material Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Roughness (SR), Electrode/Tool Wear Rate (EWR/TWR), dimensional accuracy, etc. can be obtained or improved. In past decades, intensive research work had been carried out by different researchers for improvement and optimization of EDM performance measures using various optimization techniques like Taguchi, Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Genetic Algorithm (GA), etc. This paper reviews research on improvement and optimization of various performance measures of spark erosion EDM and finally lists down certain areas that can be taken up for further research in the field of improvement and optimization for EDM process.Key words: Electrical discharge machining, Optimization, MRR, Surface roughness, TWR, Dimensional accuracy Reference [1] Abdulkareem, S.; Khan, A.A.; Konneh, M.

2. | Effect of Annealing On Thin Film Fabrication of Cadmium Zinc Telluride by Single-R.F. Magnetron Sputtering Unit
Effect of Annealing On Thin Film Fabrication of Cadmium Zinc Telluride by Single-R.F. Magnetron Sputtering UnitAbstract: In this work, formation of Cd1-xZnxTe thin films under various annealing-environments, created by layer by layer deposition of individual CdTe and ZnTe targets from a Single-R.F. Magnetron Sputtering unit is investigated. Structural and optical characterization results show that Vacuum Annealing is the best suitable for the formation of better Cd1-xZnxTe XRD peaks of higher intensities in comparison to Argon or Nitrogen-Annealing, for a bi-layered deposited CdTe and ZnTe film on glass substrate. The crystallography of the Cd1-xZnxTe films formed appeared to be either Cubic or Rhombohedral type. Also, it has been noticed, that the more inert the annealing-environment is, the lesser is the heat loss by the film-substrate and this results in better fusing of the deposited particles to move more from the poly-crystalline to the mono-crystalline structure. Also higher inert environment causes more Cadmium evaporation and this consequently drives the lattice-constant and the band-gap energy of the formed Cd1-xZnxTe thin film to move from the CdTe side to the ZnTe side. The method developed here with proper annealing ambiance for Cd1-xZnxTe fabrication can be implemented in laboratories lacking in Co-Sputtering machine.Key words: Cd1-xZnxTe, CdTe, ZnTe, Single-R.F.

3. | Analysis and Design of Finfet Based Variable Gain Amplifier
Analysis and Design of Finfet Based Variable Gain AmplifierAbstract: Comparison of analog figures-of-merit of FinFETs and MOSFETs reveals an interesting tradeoff in the analog/RF design space. It is found that FinFETs possess the following key advantages over MOSFETs: reduced power dissipation, and better voltage gain without degradation of noise or linearity. This makes them attractive for low-frequency RF applications around 5 GHz, where the performance-power tradeoff is important. On the other hand, in high-frequency applications, planar bulk MOSFETs is seen to hold the advantage over FinFETs due to their higher peak transconductance. However, this comes at a cost of a reduced voltage gain of bulk MOSFETs.Key words: Analog, FinFET, MOSFET, radio-frequency (RF), silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology Reference [1] Vaidy Subramanian, Bertrand Parvais, Jonathan Borremans, Abdelkarim Mercha, Dimitri Linten, Piet Wambacq, Josine Loo, Morin Dehan, Cedric Gustin, Nadine Collaert, Stefan Kubicek, Robert Lander, Jacob Hooker, Florence Cubaynes, Stephane Donnay, Malgorzata Jurczak, Guido Groeseneken, Willy Sansen, and Stefaan Decoutere,``Planar Bulk MOSFETS Versus FinFETs:An Analog/RF Perspective", IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, vol. 53, no. 12, pp.- 3071-3079,Dec. 2006.

4. | Role Of Biopreservation In Improving Food Safety And Storage
Role Of Biopreservation In Improving Food Safety And StorageAbstract: Biopreservation refers to the use of antagonistic microorganisms or their metabolic products to inhibit or destroy undesired microorganisms in foods to enhance food safety and extend shelf life. In order to achieve improved food safety and to harmonize consumer demands with the necessary safety standards, traditional means of controlling microbial spoilage and safety hazards in foods are being replaced by combinations of innovative technologies that include biological antimicrobial systems such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and/or their metabolites. Bacillus spp. have an antimicrobial action against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, as well as fungi, can therefore be used as a potential biopreservative in food processing due to its wide antimicrobial spectra. Bacteriocins are peptides or complex proteins biologically active with antimicrobial action against other bacteria, principally closely related species. Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have received particular attention in recent years due to their potential application in food industry as natural preservatives. Bacteriocin production in Bacillus spp. has been studied over the past few decades which include Subtilin from B. subtilis, Megacin from B. megaterium and Thermacin from B. stearothermophilus. Bio-preservation may be effectively used in combination with other preservative factors (called hurdles) to inhibit microbial growth and achieve food safety. Using an adequate mix of hurdles is not only economically attractive; it also serves to improve microbial stability and safety, as well as the sensory and nutritional qualities of a food.Key words: biopreservative, bacteriocin, bacillus, lactic acid bacteria Reference [1] S.

8. | Hash Based Least Significant Bit Technique For Video Steganography
Hash Based Least Significant Bit Technique For Video SteganographyAbstract: The Hash Based Least Significant Bit Technique For Video Steganography deals with hiding secret message or information within a video.Steganography is nothing but the covered writing it includes process that conceals information within other data and also conceals the fact that a secret message is being sent.Steganography is the art of secret communication or the science of invisible communication. In this paper a Hash based least significant bit technique for video steganography has been proposed whose main goal is to embed a secret information in a particular video file and then extract it using a stego key or password. In this Least Significant Bit insertion method is used for steganography so as to embed data in cover video with change in the lower bit.This LSB insertion is not visible.Data hidding is the process of embedding information in a video without changing its perceptual quality. The proposed method involve with two terms that are Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and the Mean Square Error (MSE) .This two terms measured between the original video files and steganographic video files from all video frames where a distortion is measured using PSNR. A hash function is used to select the particular position for insertion of bits of secret message in LSB bits.Key words: Cover Video,Hash Function,LSB Insertion,Secret Message,Stego Video,Video Steganography.

10. | Implementation of a Load Balancer for Instant Messaging over SIP Server Clusters with Improved Response time
Implementation of a Load Balancer for Instant Messaging over SIP Server Clusters with Improved Response timeAbstract: This paper introduces an implementation of a Load balancer in a cluster of SIP servers which supports instant messages. The implementation uses TLWL algorithm which provides significantly better response time by distributing requests across the cluster more evenly, thus minimizing occupancy and the corresponding amount of time a particular request waits behind others for service. Resulting in this algorithm improves throughput and response-time of servers. Load balancer maintains sessions in which requests corresponding to the same session are sent by the load balancer to the same server. Load balancer improves both throughput and response time versus a single node while exposing a single interface to external clients.Index Terms: SIP servers, Load balancer, Least-Work-Left algorithm Reference [1] Hongbo Jiang, Erich Nahum, Wolfgang Segmuller, Asser N.

12. | Impact of Drip Irrigation Scheduling on Vegetative Parameters in Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Under Unheated Greenhouse
Impact of Drip Irrigation Scheduling on Vegetative Parameters in Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Under Unheated GreenhouseAbstract: Grafted Tomatoes were grown on a fine sandy soil using drip irrigation and plastic mulch to evaluate the effects of irrigation scheduling on water requirements and vegetative parameters under typical Massa greenhouses growing conditions. Capacitive sensors were used to automatically schedule irrigations. The result of this study shows that irrigation dose and frequency does not affect stem diameter in grafted tomato plant, no significant effect on leaves number has been observed. But irrigation scheduling have a large effect on root's development, The root containers results indicated that a water stress equivalent to 50%ETc and 20% frequency can lead to deep root system; that makes possible to sustain a suitable vegetative canopy if doses and frequencies are well managed in a daily scale; It was possible save 50% of irrigation water.Key words: Tomato, greenhouse, irrigation scheduling, dose, frequency, roots.

15. | Partial Rootzone Drying: Changing Alternation Frequency at Different Phenological Stages and Impact on Tomato Crop
Partial Rootzone Drying: Changing Alternation Frequency at Different Phenological Stages and Impact on Tomato CropAbstract: The goal of the current work was to assess the effect of different alternation frequency applied at different phenological stages on physiological parameters of a Partial rootzone drying (PRD) irrigated tomato crop. Three treatments were applied. Besides the control irrigated at 100% of its water requirements, T3 and T4 are both treatments that received 50% of water requirements and that were irrigated by PRD strategy. Crop cycle was divided into three stages: S1 lasted from transplanting to 6th truss flowering, S2: the period separating the 6th truss flowering and the 2nd truss harvest, S3: lasted for the remaining crop cycle period beginning at 2nd truss harvest. While T4 was alternated every 10 days similarly, T3 was alternated every 14 days, 12 days and 10 days during S1, S2 and S3, respectively. T3 maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) was 70% higher than T4 showing that the later is more efficient than the former. As far as stomatal conductance (Cs) and leaf water potential (Ψl), results show that both PRD treatments were affected by stress without noticing any statistical differences in terms of those parameters. The control presented the highest Cs and Ψl levels during the whole crop cycle and the lowest water use efficiency (WUE).Key words: alternation, Cs, leaf water potential, MDS, PRD Reference [1] J.

16. | Design, Analysis and Optimization of Three Aluminium Piston Alloys Using FEA
Design, Analysis and Optimization of Three Aluminium Piston Alloys Using FEAAbstract: This paper describes the stress distribution and thermal stresses of three different aluminum alloys piston by using finite element method (FEM). The parameters used for the simulation are operating gas pressure, temperature and material properties of piston. The specifications used for the study of these pistons belong to four stroke single cylinder engine of Bajaj Kawasaki motorcycle. This paper illustrates the procedure for analytical design of three aluminum alloy pistons using specifications of four stroke single cylinder engine of Bajaj Kawasaki motorcycle. The results predict the maximum stress and critical region on the different aluminum alloy pistons using FEA. It is important to locate the critical area of concentrated stress for appropriate modifications. Static and thermal stress analysis is performed by using ANSYS 12.1. The best aluminum alloy material is selected based on stress analysis results. The analysis results are used to optimize piston geometry of best aluminum alloy.Key words: A2618, A4032, Al-GHS 1300, ANSYS 12.1, Deformation, Piston, Strain, stress. Reference [1] E. Ramjee and K.

17. | Prediction of River Stage in an Ungauged Stream
Prediction of River Stage in an Ungauged StreamAbstract: Hydrologic decisions are made to evaluate values of key variables and parameters needed for the design of any water resources system to make it perform adequately – in terms of safety and provision of the expected benefits. However, the degree of reliability of the hydrologic data used in the decision making process is of great significance. Unreliable data will seriously affect results. In Nigeria, as well as many parts of the less developed world, there are problems of data inadequacy, frequent gaps in the data available and non-existent data at development sites. This is the dilemma that confronts any designer of water resources systems in the less developed world. There is no doubt that sufficient and accurate hydrological data will lead to a sound engineering design of the water resources system. This study presents a solution for prediction of river stage in ungauged stream using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The research was illustrated by using the Imo River with a station at OBIGBO as a case study, upon which data was collected for analysis and possible development of a model. Twelve input variables were considered in the analysis; the most important contribution of PCA in this study was the identification of the key factors responsible for the changes in river stage. The amount of precipitation and the run-off discharge into the stream were the factors identified by the PCA, which can reasonably reflect the status of river stage in many streams. The developed model did not only predict the river stage of OBIGBO but also show great level of accuracy in predicting that of NEKEDE with an average correlation coefficient of 0.95. It can be concluded that the model has a great ability to predict river stage.Key words: Design, Hydrologic data, Prediction, River stage Water resources. Reference [1] Ahsan, M. & K.M.

18. | GENSET Diesel Engine Design Optimization for CPCB- II Emission Norms Using Cost Effective Techniques
GENSET Diesel Engine Design Optimization for CPCB- II Emission Norms Using Cost Effective TechniquesAbstract: The major challenge that is faced by most of the engine manufacturers nowadays is to meet the stringent emission norms with least modification in the engine design. In achieving the emission norms simplicity of the design has to be maintained as far as possible by optimizing the available emission control techniques. This paper deals with such optimal technique with reduced cost and up gradation of the engine from CPCB I (Current Emission Norms for Genset/Stationery Engines in India) to CPCB II (Future Emission Norms applicable w.e.f Jan'14 for Genset/Stationery Engines in India) in minimum time with minimum design changes. This difficult task is achieved by adopting direct continuous EGR and intercooler with appropriate injection timing and optimizing the fuel injection pump in a cost effective manner. The experiment is carried out on 3.62 litre turbocharged engine giving power output 52.5 kW @1500 rpm. In order to achieve the NOx emission norms LLR FIP is used, to retard the injection timing at part loads to reduce the in-cylinder temperature. Direct continuous EGR (Exhaust Gas Re-circulation) is used to further reduce the NOx Emission and Intercooler is used to reduce the BSFC.Reference [1] Ganeshan.V "I. C.

20. | Temporal Variation of Carbon Monoxide Concentration at Congested Urban Roadways Intersection
Temporal Variation of Carbon Monoxide Concentration at Congested Urban Roadways IntersectionAbstract: The carbon monoxide (CO) is dominant among major traffic emitted pollutants such as respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic carbons(VOCs) and ozone (O3) etc. It is generated by automobiles due to incomplete combustion of the fuel. The vehicles that queue up at an intersection spend more time in idle driving mode generating more pollutant leading to higher pollutant concentrations. Therefore, the trends of average hourly CO concentrations at various locations of congested roadways intersection have been investigated. The four approach roads making intersection have been selected for the present study. CO monitoring has been carried out at 2 selected locations of each approach road. The CO concentration has been monitored from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM at each location using portable online CO monitor. The average hourly CO concentrations data have been analyzed using MS excel spread sheet for each approach road. The average hourly concentration of monitored CO concentration at all receptors locations shows two peak CO concentration values (i.e., the morning peak and evening peak) throughout the monitoring programme (March to May, 2011). The comparison of monitored values of average 1 hourly CO concentration levels as well as 8 hourly average concentration levels of CO showed non compliance with the prescribed standards (4000 μg/m3 average hourly and 2000 μg/m3 average 8 hourly CO concentration). The temporal CO concentration at various approach roads making roadway intersection shows non-uniform. The highest CO concentration has been observed to be towards high rise building and vice-versa. The least CO concentration has been observed towards either low rise building or open area.Key words: Carbon monoxide, Monitoring, Road intersection, Temporal variation. Reference [1].

22. | Paper on Proposed System for Placing Free Call over Wi-Fi Network Using Voip and SIP
Paper on Proposed System for Placing Free Call over Wi-Fi Network Using Voip and SIPAbstract: The Wi-Fi, also known as 802.11b, has become the preferred technology for wireless local area networking in both business and home environments. Even though it was designed primarily for private applications, Wi-Fi is also being deployed in public places to create so-called hotspots, where Wi-Fi-capable users can obtain internet access. This new domain of application could be the major future market opportunity for Wi-Fi, but in order to take advantage of it, several key challenges, both technical and business-related, must be overcome. Today the most cost effective use of Wi-Fi is calling over network. We have various facilities today such as Skype, T-Mobile, T-pad, Jaxtr for communicating over network but some restriction are placed on such system like Skype support only pc to pc calling for cellular and landline call this free service become paid. T mobile also follows the same problem. Hence to overcome such issue we are developing a system which allows free calling over Wi-Fi network using VoIP service. Our system allows peer to peer calling and an additional feature of group calling. For supporting group calling feature we are using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). This technology will help us to find a way for free calling and thus ultimately helps to private organization for reducing bills over communication. In this paper, the system will be implemented as well as the performance will be tested by doing actual implementation of this system.Key words: Android, Free calling, SIP, VoIP, Wi-fi.

Study of Dielectric Relaxation in 60B2O3 – 10TeO2 -5TiO2 - 25R2O (R= Li, Na & K) Quaternary Glass SystemAbstract: Glasses with composition 60B2O3 – 10TeO2 -5TiO2 - 25R2O (R= Li, Na & K) have been prepared using normal melt-quench technique. Dielectric measurements were carried out in the frequency range from 100Hz to 1MHz and in temperature range from room temperature (RT) to 350oC by using alternating current impedance spectroscopy. The dielectric constant values increase with increase in temperature. Dielectric value lies in the range of 30-170 for lithium, 30-80 for sodium and 32-60 for potassium containing boro tellurite glasses. It is also found that dielectric constant values decrease with increasing frequency. The temperature dependence of the dielectric constant () shows that, at relatively lower temperature, the electric dipoles formed in the glasses are frozen and rotated at the softening temperature of the glass.. At elevated temperature the glassy network gets relaxed while, motion charge carrier and dipoles become easier. Each () and ()was found to be dependent on the alkali oxide. Dielectric constant values are found to be high for lithium containing glassKey words: Dielectric relaxation, Transport properties, Impedance spectroscopy, Dielectric constant, Tellurite glsses.

27. | Load Frequency Control of Two Area Interconnected Power System Using Conventional and Intelligent Controllers
Load Frequency Control of Two Area Interconnected Power System Using Conventional and Intelligent ControllersAbstract: The load on the power system is always varying with respect to time which results in the variation of frequency, thus leading to load frequency control problem (LFC). The variation in the frequency is highly undesirable and maximum acceptable variation in the frequency is ± 0.5hz. In this paper load frequency control is done by PI controller, which is a conventional controller. This type of controller is slow and does not allow the controller designer to take into account possible changes in operating conditions and non-linearity's in the generator unit. In order to overcome these drawbacks a new intelligent controller such as fuzzy controller is presented to quench the deviations in the frequency and the tie line power due to different load disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is confirmed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The results shows that fuzzy controller provides fast response, very less undershoot and negligible peak overshoots with having small state transfer time to reach the final steady state.Key words: PI controller, Fuzzy controller, Two area power system, load frequency control, MATLAB SIMULINK Reference [1] P.V.R.Prasad, Dr.M.SaiVeeraju "Fuzzy Logic Controller Based Analysis of Load Frequency Control of Two Area Interconnected Power System" IJETAE, Volume 2, Issue 7, July 2012.

28. | Interference Cancellation Anddetection for More Than Two Users
Interference Cancellation Anddetection for More Than Two UsersAbstract: We consider interference cancellation for a system with more than two users when users know each other channels. The goal is to utilize multiple antennas to cancel the interference without sacrificing the diversity or the complexity of the system. in the literature, it was shown how a receiver with two receive antennas can completely cancel the interference of two users and provide a diversity of 2 for users with two transmit antennas. Unfortunately, the scheme only works for two users. Recently it was shown that a system to achieve interference cancellation and full diversity with low complexity for any number of users and with any number of transmit and receive antennas In this paper our main idea is to design precoders, using the channel information, to make it possible for different users to transmit over orthogonal directions. Then, using the orthogonality of the transmitted signals, the receiver can separate them and decode the signals independently. Next, we extend the result for limited feedback systems to improve the diversity in the applied conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed precoder outperforms the previous work and improved diversity results using limited feedback.Key words: Multi-user detection, multiple antennas, interference cancellation, precoder, orthogonal designs.

30. | Glitch Reduction in Low- Power Low- Frequency Multiplier
Glitch Reduction in Low- Power Low- Frequency MultiplierAbstract: Multiplication is an essential arithmetic operation for common DSP applications, such as filtering and fast Fourier transform (FFT). To achieve high execution speed, parallel array multipliers are widely used. These multipliers tend to consume most of the power in DSP computations, and thus power-efficient multipliers are very important for the design of low-power DSP systems. A straightforward approach is to design a full adder (FA) that consumes less power. Power reduction can also be achieved through structural modification. For example, rows of partial products can be ignored. In this project a 10 transistor full adder is designed for low power which is used in the implementation of different types of multipliers. All these multipliers are compared for different technologies. A power gating technique is used by placing an MTCMOS cell is used at fine grain level so as to minimize the leakage power.Key words: Multiplier, Glitch, Power gates, Half adder and Transmission gates Reference [1]. flavio carbognani, felix buergin, norbert felber, hubert kaeslin,member,ieee,and wolfgang fichtner,fellow,ieee"transmission gates combined with level-restoring cmos gates reduce glitches in low-power low-frequency multipliers"IEEE transactions on very large scale integration (vlsi) systems,vol.16,no.7,july2008.

32. | Analysis of ECG Using Filter Bank Approach
Analysis of ECG Using Filter Bank ApproachAbstract: In recent years scientists and engineers are facing several problems in the biomedical field. However Digital Signal Processing is solving many of those problems easily and effectively. The signal processing of ECG is very useful in detecting selected arrhythmia conditions from a patient's electrocardiograph (ECG) signals. In this paper we performed analysis of noisy ECG by filtering of 50 Hz power line interference using an adaptive LMS notch filter. This is very meaningful in the measurement of biomedical events, particularly when the recorded ECG signal is very weak. The basic ECG has the frequency range from 5 Hz to 100 Hz. It becomes difficult for the Specialist to diagnose the diseases if the artifacts are present in the ECG signal. Methods of noise reduction have decisive influence on performance of all electro-cardio-graphic (ECG) signal processing systems. After removing 50/60 Hz powerline interference, the ECG is lowpass filtered in a digital FIR filter. We designed a Filter Bank to separate frequency ranges of ECG signal to enhance the occurrences QRS complexes. Later the positions of R-peaks are identified and shown plotted. The result shows the ECG signal before filtering and after filtering with their frequency spectrums which clearly indicates the reduction of the power line interference in the ECG signal and a filtered ECG with identified R-peaks.Key words: ECG, Arrhythmia, QRS, Filter Bank, Adaptive LMS filter, Downsampling, spectrum, MATLAB.

Impact of Vehicle Mobility on Performance of Vehicular Ad Hoc Network IEEE 1609.4Abstract: Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a new communications system for moving vehicles at high speed, which are equipped with wireless communication devices, together with additional wireless roadside units, enabling communications among nearby vehicles (vehicle-to-vehicle communication) as well as between vehicles and nearby fixed equipment (vehicle-to-infrastructure communication). Inter-vehicular communications aim to improve road traffic safety and provide multimedia services. VANET has become an important communication infrastructure for the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). In this work we have studied the impact of vehicle mobility on the quality of service in VANET based on IEEE 1609.4. The performance of this network is evaluated through exhaustive simulations using the VanetMobiSim and Network Simulator-NS2 under different parameters like delay, packet delivery ratio, packet loss and throughput. The simulation results are obtained when vehicles are moving according to a freeway mobility model is significantly different from results based on Manhattan model. When the Manhattan model is used, there is an increase in the average end-to-end delay and packet loss.Key words: Vehicular Ad Hoc Network, Multi-Channel, Mobility Model, Network Simulator Reference [1] Y.

34. | Idealization of a Gas Turbine Compressor Blade to a Rectangular Plate and Analyzing the Variation of Stress Concentration Factor for U-Notches
Idealization of a Gas Turbine Compressor Blade to a Rectangular Plate and Analyzing the Variation of Stress Concentration Factor for U-NotchesAbstract: Aircraft turbine engines routinely experience the ingestion of debris resulting in "foreign object damage‟ FOD. The ingestion of foreign object into aircraft engines leads to severe structural damage of the fan or compressor blades. Foreign object damage by hard particles mostly occurs during motion of the aircraft on the airfield, during take-off and during landing. Typical objects ingested are stones and other debris; sizes in the millimeter regime form the airfield. The worst case condition is experienced during take-off maximum thrusts leads to maximum impact velocity. Typical impact velocities are in the regime of 100 – 400m/sec, depending on the types of engine and impact location on the blades. Foreign object damage does not always lead to sudden catastrophic failure, yet such damage can have a detrimental effect on the fatigue strength of fan and compressor aero foils. However complex stress fields and geometry of the aerofoil make it difficult to use of simple notch analysis. For finding the stress concentration factor on the notches grinded on the typical aerofoil FOD damaged gas turbine compressor blade closed form solutions are difficult proportion. In this paper a finite element analysis is carried out by idealization of the typical aerofoil to rectangular cantilever plate with single edge U-notches for finding the stress concentration factor and is then compared with the standard stress concentration data by R.E.Peterson. The study can then be extended to a typical aerofoil.Key words: Stress Concentration Factor, U-Notches, Foreign Object Damage, Compressor Blade.

Improved Estimation of Population Mean Using Median and Coefficient of Variation of Auxiliary VariableAbstract: This manuscript deals with the estimation of population mean of the variable under study using an improved ratio type estimator utilizing the known values of median and coefficient of variation of auxiliary variable. The expressions for the bias and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed estimator are obtained up to the first order of approximation. The optimum estimator is also obtained for the optimum value of the constant of the estimator and its optimum properties are also studied. It is shown that the proposed estimator is better than the existing ratio estimators in the literature. For the justification of the improvement of the proposed estimator over others, an empirical study is also carried out.Key words: Ratio estimator, Median, bias, mean squared error, efficiency.

Data Acquisition System (DAS) Based On ARM Embedded Web ServerAbstract: In this paper we present Internet based Data Acquisition system. It deals with the monitoring and acquisition of physical parameters in the real time necessary in Industrial Automation. This is achieved using the main core of the system which is an embedded hardware, running a μC/OS-II a popular choice of operating system for embedded applications. The μC/OS-II was successfully ported on the ARM & the web server application is configured with the operating system (μC/OS-II). The embedded device communicates through General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), which makes it accessible from anywhere in the world through a web server built into the embedded device. In addition, GPRS provides a real-time data transfer allowing interaction. The proposed system eliminates the need for the server software and maintenance. A novel approach is introduced to minimize the operational costs while operating with a large amount of data. The system is demonstrated to work for online as well as offline .When online, queried data is directly available at the client side. Here is an inbuilt offline system with 8-bit co-processor technique so one can get the data on personal computer without any internet connection, for personal reference. It can be also used for the analysis like system failure.Key words: ARM11, Embedded Web Server, μC/OS-II, GPRS.

38. | An Introduction to License Plate Detection System
An Introduction to License Plate Detection SystemAbstract: License Plate Recognition (LPR) is a well known image processing technology. LPR system consists of four steps: capture the image from digital camera, pre-processing, character segmentation and character recognition. License plates are available in various styles and colors in various countries. Every country has their own license plate format. So each country develops the LPR system appropriate for the vehicle license plate format. Difficulties that the LPR systems face are the environmental and non-uniform outdoor illumination conditions. Therefore, most of the systems work under restricted environmental conditions like fixed illumination, limited vehicle speed, designated routes, and stationary backgrounds. Each LPR system use different combination of algorithms. In this paper I proposed license plate recognition using skew detection and morphological operation.Key words: Image processing, License Plate Recognition, License Plate Detection, License Plate Segmentation, Optical Character Recognition Reference [1] Y.

Closed Form Solutions to Water Pollution Problems Using Auto-BäcklundTransformationsAbstract: ABSTRACT Air pollution can be very harmful to human health, especially in urban areas of large cities and in the vicinity of chemical industries. In order to prevent and minimize environmental impacts from these industries, it is necessary to use mathematical models, which can simulate scenarios associated with dispersion of pollutants. This work presents a new analytical method for solving pollutant dispersion problems. The method uses two first-order differential restrictions from which are found auto-Bäcklund transformations for the two-dimensional advection-diffusion equation at steady state. The main characteristic of the formulation is the reduced time required to obtain analytical solutions.Key words: Dispersion of pollutants, Exact solutions, Mathematical modeling, Project to prevent contingencies.

43. | Analysis on Energy Efficient Approaches for Routing In Mobile Adhoc Network
Analysis on Energy Efficient Approaches for Routing In Mobile Adhoc NetworkAbstract: A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a self-organizing and dynamically configurable wireless network without having fixed infrastructures. Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET's) consist of nodes which move arbitrarily and form dynamic topologies. MANET's exhibit characteristics like limited bandwidth, energy constraints, mobility, scalability and limited security. The main issue is energy constraint of nodes in mobile adhoc network. The primary goal of a routing protocol is efficient route establishment between a pair of nodes. Because of limited battery of nodes links failure can be possible. So here the analysis of different techniques is done in this paper.The aim of this research is to check and compare the different approach to make the routing efficient in Mobile adhoc network. And one method is proposed for energy efficient communication in mobile adhoc network which use the remaining energy and number of nodes for selection of route.Key words: Manet, Energy efficient, routing protocol.

44. | Finite Element Based Analysis of the Effect of Internal Voids on the Strength and Stress Distribution Of Component- Review
Finite Element Based Analysis of the Effect of Internal Voids on the Strength and Stress Distribution Of Component- ReviewAbstract: Voids are the casting defects and can be source of failure due to action as a stress concentration location. Void is the absence of material where it should be present in metal casting processes. All metal casting contains voids which is inherent to the material and its application. Voids occur for many reasons and in many forms, but it is often the results of gases released from molten metal, or shrinkage of the metal as it cools and solidifies. Voids may go to the heart of casting and infiltrate the entire part. The main objective of the project are to try and develop a model for detection of voids using vibration techniques. Once a void is detected, we should be able to quantify the loss in strength , and based on this data determine if the component will be usable or not. By using FEA modeling of internal void in a component is to be done and using modal analysis technique to determine natural frequency of component. By comparing results with defect free component and checking if there is a co relation between frequency shift and size of the void. By performing structural FEA to determine stress concentration zones and reduction in stress capacity due to void.Key words: Defect , Loss in strength , Modal analysis, Natural frequency, Stress concentration Reference [1] "Porosity in Castings" R.

45. | Reduction of FeO in EAF Steelmaking Slag by End-Of-Life Polystyrene and It's Blend with Metallurgical Coke
Reduction of FeO in EAF Steelmaking Slag by End-Of-Life Polystyrene and It's Blend with Metallurgical CokeAbstract: The reduction of FeO-containing slag by end-of-life polystyrene (PS) and its blend with metallurgical coke has been investigated through experiments conducted in a laboratory scale horizontal tube furnace. Composite pellets of EAF slag (47.1% FeO) with PS, coke and a blend of PS/coke (in the ratio PS:Coke =3:2) were heated rapidly at 1550 °C under high purity argon gas and the off gas was continuously analysed for CO and CO2 using an online infrared gas analyser (IR). The extent of reduction after fifteen minutes, level of carburisation, extent of desulphurization and the ease of metal/slag separation were determined for each carbonaceous reductant. The results show that FeO can be effectively reduced from EAF slag to produce metallic iron using end-of-life PS and its blends with coke as reductants; improvements in the extent of reduction, ease of metal/slag separation, level of carburisation and extent of desulphurisation of the reduced metal were observed when coke was blended with PS.Key words: FeO reduction, metallurgical coke, polystyrene, carburisation, desulphurisation Reference [1] PACIA 2011, National Plastics Recycling Survey for July 2010- June 2011, 2011 [2] J.

After the visual interpretation of Satellite imageries direct field checks have been made. The primary data were acquired from the LANDSAT satellite imagery. The supplementary data were generated from the survey of India SOI topographical maps. A base map was prepared using survey of India toposheets having the index of numbers, 58M/4, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 58N/1 on a scale of 1:50,000 as an understanding of this study. Totally 6 toposheets have covered the study area. The geographical features like major road, railway, and drainage system, and elevation information, nature of River, tank, settlements and relevant information were incorporated in the base map. Arc GIS used to integrate the available data sources. LANDSAT MSS (1976), IRS P6-LISS III (2010) satellite data the urban land use classification were attempted. The classification followed here is based on unsupervised classification and interpretation; the data interpreted from the imagery were cross-checked in the field. The change detection in urban land use, between the years 1976, 2010 and for an overall period of 34 years, was made using statistical methods. The entire study area has been many changes in the urban land use. There has been a pronounced decrease in agriculture land, forest land, Fallow land, sandy area are gradually decreased.

Simulation of Trigonometric Signals Using Area-Time Efficient AlgorithmAbstract: In this paper, a parametric Co-ordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm is presented, simulating fixed point arithmetic (sine, cosine, and arctangent) trigonometric functions evaluation. The Important design options for hardware implementation include iterative, unrolled and unrolled pipelined architectures of the CORDIC module. The design uses the VHDL '93 backwards-compatible version of the fixed point package, as defined according to the verilog 2008 standard. Hardware performance analysis results are presented in this paper for more than 75 circuit variations implemented on a Spartan 3 Xilinx FPGA, each for different parameter values of the proposed CORDIC module. A maximum 47% increase of speed and 57% area reduction are accomplished, in comparison with other designs. In our simulation design we are using circular co-ordinate system for producing digital trigonometric functions and these are calculated in the two main modes in CORDIC algorithm which are rotation mode and vectoring mode.Key words: Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC), Cosine/Sine, Recursive Architecture, XILINX.

Visual Interpretation Of Hand Gestures For Human Computer InteractionAbstract: The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help in achieving the ease and naturalness desired for HCI. This discussion is organized on the basis of the method used for modeling, analyzing, and recognizing gestures. We propose pointing gesture-based large display interaction using a depth camera. A user interacts with applications for large display by using pointing gestures with the barehand. The calibration between large display and depth camera can be automatically performed by using RGB-D camera.. We also discuss implemented gestural systems as well as other potential applications of vision-based gesture recognition. We discuss directions of future research in gesture recognition, including its integration with other natural modes of human computer interaction.Key words: Visual interpretation,Human computer interaction,Gesture recognition Reference [1] Bagrecha Komal S., Bramhecha Amit R., Chhajed Sneha S., Chhajed Sneha S., Khivsara B.A., "Android application using GPS navigation" 1st International Conference on Recent Trends in Engineering & Technology, March 2012 [2] A.

Robust Control Based On Sliding Mode of the Shunt Active Filter to Compensate For the Disturbing Currents in the Electric PowerAbstract: The present publication articulates on the robust control strategy of the shunt active power filter (SAPF) originally based on the sliding mode. The new control strategy is tested to control the SAPF to compensate actively for the disturbing currents in the electric power under the presence of the voltage disturbances. The simulation results reveal a perfect compensation for the currents disturbances and the reactive power with a contribution to improve the robustness in stability and in speed of the SAPF. The efficiency of the proposed control strategy contribute to the improvement of the supply current spectrum and the phase displacement factor. Consequently, the control strategy proposed allows the SAPF to improve the energy quality.Key words: Shunt active power filter; Robust control; Sliding mode; Digital simulation; Energy quality Reference [1] T.

53. | Detection of Retinal Hemorrhage Using Splat Feature Classification Technique
Detection of Retinal Hemorrhage Using Splat Feature Classification TechniqueAbstract: In the automated fundus image screening system, reliable detection of retinal hemorrhage is required. Retinal hemorrhages are produced by diabetic retinopathy and hypertension. In our approach, a splat feature classification technique can be used to detect large irregular retinal hemorrhages with high accuracy. In this technique, the retinal images are partitioned into non overlapping segments called splat. Splat contains pixels with same color and spatial location. From each splat wide range of features are extracted based on interaction of each splat with its neighbor .The mean filter approach can be used to select desired splat feature. Performance of the hemorrhage detector can be evaluated from the receiver operating characteristic curve.Key words: splat, fundus image retinal hemorrhage, KNN classifier, Watershed segmentation.

56. | A Practical Frame-Work for the Performance Evaluation of Classical Frequency Planning Schemes in OFDM Based on Markov's Model
A Practical Frame-Work for the Performance Evaluation of Classical Frequency Planning Schemes in OFDM Based on Markov's ModelAbstract: In this paper, we propose a frame-work for the performance evaluation of frequency allocation schemes in 3G LTE OFDMA systems. We first develop an analytical model for collisions in an OFDMA system for an arbitrary number of users in the different cells. We then calculate the capacity of the system using a Markov model and taking into account the inter-cell interference and its impact on the adaptive modulation. We finally apply this model to compare three frequency allocation schemes, namely reuse 1, reuse 3, and a mix of reuse 1 and 3. Our results show that a mix of reuse 1 and 3 schemes outperforms a reuse 1 scheme in terms of better cell-edge performance, and outperforms also a reuse 3 scheme by achieving an higher cell throughput.Key words: Adaptive modulation, Frequency planning, OFDMA, Performance evaluation, Throughput Reference [1] S-E.

57. | Impact of Groundwater Quality from Industrial East Coastal Town, Southern India
Impact of Groundwater Quality from Industrial East Coastal Town, Southern IndiaAbstract: Contamination of drinking water by human and industrial activities is a serious concern now-a-day. Indiscriminate use of groundwater deteriorates the quality and quantity of water. The study was carried out to assess the impacts of industrial activities on the groundwater quality in and around Cuddalore coast town during September 2012 and February 2013. The quality was assessed in terms of physio-chemical parameters and compared with BIS. The groundwater samples are classified into Ca2+-HCO32- type, Ca2+-Mg2+-Cl- type based on its hydrogeochemical characteristics. . The groundwater at many locations in the study area is not suitable for drinking because of its high salinity, hardness and chloride, which is mainly caused by industries discharge, agricultural activities and seawater intrusion. The WQI reflected that most of the samples are of poor water to very poor water. The Wilcox diagram, USSL diagrams and PI shows that most of the samples are suitable for irrigation. It was found that the groundwater was contaminated at few sample locations. The consequence of industrialization and urbanization leads to degradation of water quality. Hence the local government needs to initiate remedial measures.Key words: Physiochemical characteristics, seawater intrusion, suitability drinking and irrigation, coastal town. Reference [1] K.

Predictions of On-Line Banks' Fraudulent: A Study on Discriminant AnalysisAbstract: The information and communication technology (ICT) is growing fast in the community along with some risks. The on-line banks' fraudulent are increasing dramatically resulting in the loss of money and retardate the growth on economic development. Some law enforcers like Tanzanian police yet use the traditional prevention technologies to investigate these on-line banks' fraudulent cases mainly known as cyber crimes. For the purpose of this study, 150 data were collected as cyber criminals and non criminals. 100 data were cyber criminals out of the total sample size. With the aid of the discriminant analysis tools predicted cyber criminals against non criminal that 88% were overall, sensitivity was 73.9% and specific was 100%. However, the results from cyber criminals relatively with their ages implicated that the overall was 80.7%, sensitivity was 91.7% and specific was 75.5%. As technology advances, the law enforcers like police need to use the modern tools to predict these cases.Key words: On-line banks' fraudulent, cyber criminal, discriminant analysis.

59. | An Efficient Reconfigurable Content Addressable Memory
An Efficient Reconfigurable Content Addressable MemoryAbstract: This paper introduces an efficient reconfigurable Content Addressable memory (CAMs) which is a hardware search engine that are much faster than other algorithmic approaches for search intensive applications. Content Addressable Memories are composed of conventional semiconductor memory (usually SRAM) with added comparison circuitry that enables a search operation to complete in a single clock cycle. To understand more about Content Addressable Memory, it helps to contrast it with RAM. A RAM is an integrated circuit that stores data temporarily. In CAM, the user supplies the data and gets back the address.In this paper we introduce a temporary memory called Cache. The cache-CAM (C-CAM) saves 80% power over a conventional CAM. Compared with existing software search engines proposed hardware search engine can do multiple searches at a time with more flexibility.Index Terms: Content Addressable Memory (CAM), VLSI, Introduction to VHDL, Hardware, RTL modelling.

60. | Improved AODV Routing Protocol for MANET
Improved AODV Routing Protocol for MANETAbstract: Efficient protocols are used to forward data packets without much packet loss. Ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (AODV) is one among the effective Reactive Routing Protocol in MANET. The main causes for link break are mobility between nodes such as node failure and node power off. Quality of Service (QoS) is one of the main issues for any network and due to bandwidth constraint and dynamic topology of mobile ad hoc networks, supporting Quality of Service (QoS) is extremely a challenging task. The objective of this paper is to enhance the network performance of AODV, when frequent link failure in network due to mobility of the nodes in the network. This paper proposed a new protocol Enhanced AODV (E-AODV) which is a modified version of AODV with enhanced packet delivery ratio and minimized end to end delay.Key words: Ad Hoc Network, Routing Protocol, AODV, Packet delivery ratio, end to end delay.

Rotation and Scale Invariant Feature Extraction Using Complex Zernike Moments Forfarsiand Arabic Handwriting CharacterAbstract: Analyzing Farsi and Arabic handwritten documents is one area in image processing whose target is to transform picture documents into symbolic form. This transformation is conducted o make rapid and easy saving, improvements, retrieval, reuse, searching and transferring documents. Analyzing documents is performed in five stages: pre-processing, segmentation representation, recognition and post-processing. In this research, in first stage the required pre-processing is performed to normalize the image. In recognition stage, zernik moments–based method has been introduced to extract feature of Farsi and Arabic handwritten characters. Outputs of zernik moments are put in systematic clustering to decide about characters. The obtained results show that feature extraction using zernik moments is a suitable method that deals with few rotation-independent featuresand this leads to reduce calculations and increase speed of recognition and stability against rotation. Size–independence is obtained using difference and at least distance of image calculations, because of preprocessing stage which has been performed in this algorithm is transfer-independent. Valid rank of zenik moments to extract features during conducted test is 4 – 38. Cluster applying has led to reduce algorithm expenditure tplog(n) and this one advantage of the suggested algorithmKey words: Rotation and Scale Invariant Feature Extraction, zernik complex moments, Farsi and Arabic handwritten characters.

3. | Measurement and Analysis of Test Suite Volume Metrics for Regression Testing
Measurement and Analysis of Test Suite Volume Metrics for Regression TestingAbstract: Regression testing intends to ensure that a software applications works as specified after changes made to it during maintenance. It is an important phase in software development lifecycle. Regression testing is the re-execution of some subset of test cases that has already been executed. It is an expensive process used to detect defects due to regressions. Regression testing has been used to support software-testing activities and assure acquiring an appropriate quality through several versions of a software product during its development and maintenance. Regression testing assures the quality of modified applications. In this proposed work, a study and analysis of metrics related to test suite volume was undertaken. It was shown that the software under test needs more test cases after changes were made to it. A comparative analysis was performed for finding the change in test suite size before and after the regression test.Key words: Regression Testing, Test Suite Volume, Defect Density, Defect Analysis, Defect Removal Efficiency Reference [1] Kan, S.

5. | Optimization of Hybrid PV/Wind Energy System Using Genetic Algorithm (GA)
Optimization of Hybrid PV/Wind Energy System Using Genetic Algorithm (GA)Abstract: In this paper, a new approach of optimum design for a Hybrid PV/Wind energy system is presented in order to assist the designers to take into consideration both the economic and ecological aspects. When the stand alone energy system having photovoltaic panels only or wind turbine only are compared with the hybrid PV/wind energy systems, the hybrid systems are more economical and reliable according to climate changes. This paper presents an optimization technique to design the hybrid PV/wind system. The hybrid system consists of photovoltaic panels, wind turbines and storage batteries. Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization technique is utilized to minimize the formulated objective function, i.e. total cost which includes initial costs, yearly replacement cost, yearly operating costs and maintenance costs and salvage value of the proposed hybrid system. A computer program is designed, using MATLAB code to formulate the optimization problem by computing the coefficients of the objective function. The method mentioned in this article is proved to be effective using an example of hybrid energy system. Finally, the optimal solution is achieved by Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization method.Key words: Battery, Genetic Algorithm, Hybrid PV/Wind energy system, Optimization, Solar and wind energy Reference [1].

6. | Review Paper :Comparative Analysis Of Mother Wavelet Functions With The ECG Signals
Review Paper :Comparative Analysis Of Mother Wavelet Functions With The ECG SignalsAbstract: Electrocardiographic ECG gives the information about electrical activity of the heart captured over time by attaching an external electrode to the skin. Now a days ECG signal is used as a baseline to determine the hearts condition. It is very much essential to detect and process ECG signal accurately. ECG consists of various types of noise such as muscle noise, baseline wander and power line interference etc. To remove such types of noise wavelet transform is used. Mother wavelet is an effective tool for denoising such signals. But selection of proper mother wavelet for the ECG signal is again a challenging task. This paper gives the survey about the wavelet transforms useful for ECG denoising. The different wavelet transform are compared and from that we can decide which one is more suitable.Key words: CWT, DWT , Electrocardiogram, FFT, Heart Rate Variability, QRS, Wavelet Transform Reference [1] TAN Yun-fu,Du Lei, "Study on Wavelet Transform in the Processing for ECG Signals", World congress on Software Engineering, IEEE p515-518, 2009.

7. | An Integrated Framework For Power And ICT System Risk-Based Security Assessment
An Integrated Framework For Power And ICT System Risk-Based Security AssessmentAbstract: Power system (PS) is exposed to natural and man-related threats which may affect the security of power supply, depending on the vulnerabilities of the system to the threats themselves as well as on the pre-fault operating conditions. Threats regard not only the power components, but also the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems involved in PS control and protection. The resulting picture is characterized by significant uncertainties, especially as far as high impact, low probability (HILP) events (typical causes of blackout events) are concerned. These considerations call for the adoption of novel techniques to perform more in-depth security analyses, able to identify the contributions of the different threats and vulnerabilities to the overall operational risk. The paper describes a probabilistic risk-based methodology, developed within the European Union (EU) research project AFTER (A Framework for electrical power sysTems vulnerability identification, dEfense and Restoration), aiming to perform risk assessment (by means of hazard, vulnerability, and impact analysis) of the integrated power and ICT systems. Initial results of the approach are described with reference to a test system.Key words: contingency analysis, power system security, risk assessment, power system dependences Reference [1] European Commission, "A European Strategic Energy Technology Plan - Towards a low carbon future", Nov 2007 [2] ENTSO-E, EDSO, "The European Electricity Grid Initiative (EEGI) - Roadmap 2010-18 and Detailed Implementation Plan 2010-12", May 25, 2010 [3] European Commission, Directorate-General for Research, "European SmartGrids Technology Platform - Vision and Strategy for Europe‟s Electricity Networks of the Future", 2006 [4] ENTSO-E, European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, "Technical Background and Recommendations for Defence Plans in the Continental Europe Synchronous Area", January 31, 2011 [5] U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force, "August 14, 2003 Blackout in the United States and Canada: Causes and Recommendations", Final report, April 2004 Emanuele Ciapessoni, Diego Cirio, Andrea Pitto, Marino Sforna |

Total Harmonic Distortion Analysis of Three Phase Nonlinear Load Using H-Bridge Vsi Topology Based_ DstatcomAbstract: This paper presents the detailed model, control and simulation of H-Bridge VSI topology based DSTATCOM. It also describes the control of multilevel inverter supplied by Photovoltaic system and a battery bank which is connected to the supply system. It is well known that the Power Quality of the Multililevel Inverter signals depends upon the number of levels. Basic structure and operating principle of the Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter are explored. The phase shifted SPWM is used for reducing the lower order harmonics of the output voltage and the Park's transformation is employed to decouple the active and reactive power components for regulating the compensation power. The controller equations are such that the phase shifted SPWM pulses are generated automatically for any number of levels. The effectiveness of the proposal method is evaluated in simulation by using Matlab/Simulink. The results of the simulation are analyzed and discussed.Key words: PV Cell, DSTATCOM, Power Quality Level shifted Pulse width modulation (LSPWM), Phase shifted Pulse width modulation (PSPWM), Proportional-Integral (PI) control, Voltage source inverter (VSI).

10. | Deadline-Based Scheduling Algorithm for Divisible-Load in Grid Computing
Deadline-Based Scheduling Algorithm for Divisible-Load in Grid ComputingAbstract: The divisible load model is motivated by divisible load theory, where both communication and computation can be arbitrarily divisible into as many independent partitions as required and facilitates a good approximation for many real-world application systems such as those arising in large physics experiments. Scheduling an application with divisible load in data grid is significantly important because of its dynamic nature. Therefore, this paper presents DBSA scheduling model to provide deterministic QoS to arbitrarily divisible applications executing in a grid environment. In addition, the simulation uses a more realistic platform and provides an analysis of the algorithm for homogeneous platforms and presents the comparison results with multi-round algorithm known as UMR (Uniform Multi Round) based on two factors cost and makespan. The simulation result shows that the proposed DBSA minimizes the makespan, cost and balance the load more efficiently.Key words: Divisible Load Theory (DLT), Quality of Service (QoS), UMR (Uniform Multi Round).

An Automated System To Classify Alloy Steel Surface Using Contourlet TransformAbstract: Surface defect detection of metallic surfaces is a major challenge in any manufacturing industry. In this paper, an automated system to classify alloy steel surface based on contourlet transform is presented. As the contourlet transform is a multi resolution analysis, texture present in alloy steel surface is represented in various scales and directions. The image is decomposed at various scales and directions and the energy features are extracted. By analyzing the energies from the trained images, the best set that distinguishes the surface into defect or non defect is chosen for classification. The classification results are evaluated on the given set of images of alloy steel surface and the performance of the system is evaluated.Key words: Contourlet transform, Image classification, Energy features, Alloy steel surface.

Design And Implementation Of Anthropomorphic Robotic ArmAbstract: The report focuses on the design and demonstration of an anthropomorphic robotic arm with seven degrees of freedom using readily available low-cost components to perform different real time human hand applications. The robotic arm consists of a shoulder, elbow, wrist and a five-finger gripper. It can perform different gripping actions, such as lateral, spherical, cylindrical and tip-holding gripping actions; each finger has three movable links. The actuator used for the robotic arm is a high torque dc servo motor and the five-finger gripper consists of five cables placed like tendons in the human arm. Implementation is done using a human hand glove which senses the motion from sensor technology to produce a proportional analog voltage, digitized via the microcontroller Atmel ATmega32. The microcontroller then through the processed signal controls the mechanical structure that is the robotic arm.Key words: Actuator, Anthropomorphic, Degree of Freedom, Microcontroller, Sensor Technology, Reference [1] Nicholas Thayer and Shashank Priya, "Design and implementation of a dexterous anthropomorphic robotic typing (DART) hand", IOP Science Journal on smart material structure, 20(3), 2011.

13. | Prediction of the Discharge Coefficient for a Cipolletti Weir with Rectangular Bottom Opening
Prediction of the Discharge Coefficient for a Cipolletti Weir with Rectangular Bottom OpeningAbstract: The hydraulic characteristics of a Cipolletti weir with rectangular bottom opening were investigated in this study. The work was carried out using an existing experimental setup of a flume with storage and re-circulating tanks, a pump, a flow meter and a piping system with valves. Thirty nine physical models were made for the Cipolletti weir with rectangular bottom opening with different geometrical dimensions called hereafter as configurations. Experimental measurements were taken for each configuration for different flow values to find the actual discharge, the head over the weir and the head of the approaching flow. For each configuration the data set were analyzed in order to find the discharge coefficient using equation, derived for the combined flow over the weir and from the bottom rectangular opening. All the flow cases tested were for free flow over the weir and sub-critical flows. Dimensional analysis was made to relate the discharge coefficient with different geometrical and flow variables using artificial neural networks modeling. The correlation coefficient found for the predicted values of the discharge coefficient is (r=0.88).Key words: Cipolletti weir, Bottom opening, Discharge Coefficient, Artificial Neural Networks, Physical modeling.

Review of Matrix Decomposition Techniques for Signal Processing ApplicationsAbstract: Decomposition of matrix is a vital part of many scientific and engineering applications. It is a technique that breaks down a square numeric matrix into two different square matrices and is a basis for efficiently solving a system of equations, which in turn is the basis for inverting a matrix. An inverting matrix is a part of many important algorithms. Matrix factorizations have wide applications in numerical linear algebra, in solving linear systems, computing inertia, and rank estimation is an important consideration. This paper presents review of all the matrix decomposition techniques used in signal processing applications on the basis of their computational complexity, advantages and disadvantages.

15. | Galois Field Based Very Fast and Compact Error Correcting Technique
Galois Field Based Very Fast and Compact Error Correcting TechniqueAbstract: As the technology is improving the memory devices are becoming larger, so powerful error correction codes are needed. Error correction codes are commonly used to protect memories from soft errors, which change the logical value of memory cells without damaging the circuit. These codes can correct a large number of errors, but generally require complex decoders. In order to avoid this decoding complexity, in this project it uses Euclidean geometry LDPC codes with one step majority decoding technique. This method detects words having error in the first iteration of the majority logic decoding process and reduces the decoding time by stopping the decoding process when no errors are detected as well as reduces the memory access time. And the result obtained through this technique also proves that it is an effective and compact error correcting technique.Key words: Error correction codes, Euclidean geometry low density parity check codes, memory, majority logic decoding.

16. | Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor for Floating Point Arithmetic
Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor for Floating Point ArithmeticAbstract: Recently, development of embedded processors is toward miniaturization and energy saving for ecology. On the other hand, high performance arithmetic circuits are required in a lot of application in science and technology. Dynamically reconfigurable processors have been developed to meet these requests. They can change circuit configuration according to instructions in program instantly during operations.This paper describes, a dynamically reconfigurable circuit for floating-point arithmetic is proposed. The arithmetic circuit consists of two single precision floating-point arithmetic circuits. It performs double precision floating-point arithmetic by reconfiguration. Dynamic reconfiguration changes circuit construction at one clock cycle during operation without stopping circuits. It enables reconfiguration of circuits in a few nano seconds. The proposed circuit is reconfigured in two modes. In first mode it performs one double precision floating-point arithmetic or else the circuit will perform two parallel operations of single precision floating-point arithmetic. The new system design reduces implementation area by reconfiguring common parts of each operation. It also increases the processing speed with a very little number of clocks.Reference [1] Yukinari Minagi , Akinori Kanasugi , "A Processor With Dynamically Reconfigurable Circuit For Floating-Point Arithmetic".
