1. | Provider Aware Anonymization Algorithm for Preserving M -
Privacy
Provider Aware Anonymization Algorithm for Preserving M - PrivacyAbstract: In this paper, we consider the collaborative data publishing problem for anonymizing horizontally partitioned data at multiple data providers. We consider a new type of "insider attack" by colluding data providers who may use their own data records (a subset of the overall data) in addition to the external background knowledge to infer the data records contributed by other data providers. The paper addresses this new threat and makes several contributions. First, we introduce the notion of m-privacy, which guarantees that the anonymized data satisfies a given privacy constraint against any group of up to m colluding data providers. Second, we present heuristic algorithms exploiting the equivalence group monotonicity of privacy constraints and adaptive ordering techniques for efficiently checking m-privacy given a set of records. Finally, we present a data provider-aware anonymization algorithm with adaptive m- privacy checking strategies to ensure high utility and m-privacy of anonymized data with efficiency. Experiments on real-life datasets suggest that our approach achieves better or comparable utility and efficiency than existing and baseline algorithms while providing m-privacy guarantee.Reference [1] C.

2. | Railway Ticket Counter Problem With STM
Railway Ticket Counter Problem With STMAbstract: The past few years have marked the start of a historic transition from sequential to parallel computation. The necessity to write parallel programs is increasing as systems are getting more complex while processor speed increases are slowing down. Current parallel programming uses low-level programming constructs like threads and explicit synchronization using locks to coordinate thread execution. Parallel programs written with these constructs are difficult to design, program and debug. Also locks have many drawbacks which make them a suboptimal solution. One such drawback is that locks should be only used to enclose the critical section of the parallel-processing code. If locks are used to enclose the entire code then the performance of the code drastically decreases..Key words: Parallel Programming; Multiprocessing; Locks; Transactions; Software Transactional Memory .

5. | Design & Performance Analysis of DG-MOSFET for Reduction of Short Channel Effect over Bulk MOSFET at 20nm
Design & Performance Analysis of DG-MOSFET for Reduction of Short Channel Effect over Bulk MOSFET at 20nmAbstract: An aggressive scaling of conventional MOSFETs channel length reduces below 100nm and gate oxide thickness below 3nm to improved performance and packaging density. Due to this scaling short channel effect (SCEs) like threshold voltage, Subthreshold slope, ON current and OFF current plays a major role in determining the performance of scaled devices. The double gate (DG) MOSFETS are electro-statically superior to a single gate (SG) MOSFET and allows for additional gate length scaling. Simulation work on both devices has been carried out and presented in paper. The comparative study had been carried out for threshold voltage (VT), Subthreshold slope (Sub VT), ION and IOFF Current. It is observed that DG MOSFET provide good control on leakage current over conventional Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET. The VT (Threshold Voltage) is 2.7 times greater than & ION of DG MOSFET is 2.2 times smaller than the conventional Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET.Key words: DG MOSFET (Double Gate Metal oxide Field Effect Transistor), Short Channel Effect (SCE), Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET.

6. | Experimental Study, Simulation and Model Predictions of Recycled PET Strip-Reinforced Concrete Flexion Members
Experimental Study, Simulation and Model Predictions of Recycled PET Strip-Reinforced Concrete Flexion MembersAbstract: This study presents results from a theoretical-experimental program of beams partially pre-stressed made with continuous recycled PET strip-reinforced concrete (plain concrete strength of 20 MPa). These studies mainly attempted to determine the stripinfluence in altering the flexural strength at first and final crack. Also the load-deflection, ductility, energy absorption capacity of the beams are observed and the studies can be used in predicting the flexural behavior of longitudinally reinforced concrete. The model theory assumes that concrete has a tensile load capacity different from zero, characterized by a uniaxial tensile stress-strain diagram. The need for non-linear geometric and the material models imply the use of numerical methods such as the finite element method; so that, a finite element analysis of reinforced concrete beam with strips-reinforced plastic is performed. The obtained results were compared with computer analysis and experimental data to corroborate the validity of the suggested method, showing that the theory also predicts correctly the post-cracking creep deformation.Key words: Reinforced concrete, Finite element method, Mechanical properties, Prediction model, Recycled PET strips Reference [1] S Kim, N Yi, H Kim, J Kim andY Song, Material and structural performance evaluation of recycled PET fiber reinforced concrete,Cement and Concrete Composite, (32), 2010, 232-240.

12. | CFD Studies of Combustion in Direct Injection Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Using Non-Premixed Combustion Model
CFD Studies of Combustion in Direct Injection Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Using Non-Premixed Combustion ModelAbstract: In this study the simulation process of non-premixed combustion in a direct injection single cylinder diesel engine has been described. Direct injection diesel engines are used both in heavy duty vehicles and light duty vehicles. The fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. The fuel mixes with the high pressure air in the combustion chamber and combustion occurs. Due to the non-premixed nature of the combustion occurring in such engines, non-premixed combustion model of ANSYS FLUENT 14.5 can be used to simulate the combustion process. A 4-stroke diesel engine corresponds to one fuel injector hole without considering valves was modeled and combustion simulation process was studied. Here two types of combustion chambers were compared. Combustion studies of both chambers:- shallow depth and hemispherical combustion chambers were carried out. Emission characteristics of both combustion chambers had also been carried out. The obtained results are compared. It has been found that hemispherical combustion chamber is more efficient as it produces higher pressure and temperature compared to that of shallow depth combustion chamber. As the temperature increases the formation of NOx emissions and soot formation also get increased.Key words: CFD, Combustion modeling, Diesel combustion, k-ε model, NOx emissions Reference [1] Apparao K, Srinivasa Rao P and Rajagopal K, "Study of multiple injections in (Homogeneous charge compression ignition) HCCI engine using computational fluid dynamics", Journal of Mechanical Engineering Research Vol. 3(4), pp. 103-113, April 2011.

15. | Fresh Water Augmentation and Salinity Management in Kuttanad
Fresh Water Augmentation and Salinity Management in KuttanadAbstract: The Thanneermukkam bund was constructed to resolve the salinity problems faced by the farmers of Kuttanad; though it could reduce the problems to a large extend it had many ill effects such as water pollution, spread of aquatic weeds and other flora and fauna related problems. The main objective is to reduce the salinity level in Vembanad Lake during summer season that is during the closure period of Thanneermukkam Bund (TMB). The problem is solved efficiently by adapting following methods (1) water is taken from Muvattupuzha River, and conveyed through a regulator to Kuttanad region during summer season to dilute the water and keep the salinity below 2ppt and (2) water is collected in the pazhnilam before the closure of TMB and pumped out into Lake surrounding at times of acute shortage. The design of the regulator, its location and working is also discussed along with the various management techniques to be adopted in Kuttanad for effective implementation of the project. A proposal for management of water quantity and salinity for the natural water system of Kuttanad is developed.Key words: Augmentation, Kuttanad, Salinity Management. Reference [1].

16. | Microcontroller–Based Modified SEPIC Converter for Driving
Lamp with Power Factor Correction
Microcontroller–Based Modified SEPIC Converter for Driving Lamp with Power Factor CorrectionAbstract: A methodological study of electronic ballast for electrode less lamps including design and development issues is presented in this paper. The ballast is intended to feed a 300 W ultra violet lamp at 100 kHz with dimming feature. The proposed topology is composed of a Single-Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC), used as power factor correction (PFC) stage, integrated with a resonant half-bridge inverter, used as lamp power control (PC) stage. The integration of both stages is proposed in this paper, in order to reduce the number of active switches, as well as to simplify the required driving and control circuitry for this application. The implemented topology attained very high power factor (0.9982), and low line current total harmonic distortion (THD) (1.86%), without using electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter, while the measured efficiency was 90% at nominal lamp power.Index Terms: Ultra violet Lamps, Integration Technique, High Power Factor, High Switching Frequency.

17. | Development And Implementation Of OFDM Transceiver For WLAN Applications
Development And Implementation Of OFDM Transceiver For WLAN ApplicationsAbstract: Multi-Carrier modulation is a technique for data transmission by multiplexing a low bit-rate data streams to modulated carriers into signal Wideband Carrier. Multi-Carrier transmission has a lot of useful properties such as delay-spread tolerance and spectrum efficiency that encourage their use in untethered broadband communication. OFDM is becoming the chosen modulation technique for wireless communications. OFDM is a multi-carrier modulation scheme with densely spaced sub-carriers that has gained a lot of popularity among the broadband community in the last few years. OFDM can provide large data rate with sufficient robustness to radio channel impairments. OFDM works on the principle of Orthogonality. The orthogonality between subcarriers which is at the core of OFDM modulation requires a perfect synchronization. OFDM has properties like high spectral efficiency, Resiliency to RF interference and Lower multi-path distortion. This work is concentrated in implementing both transmitter and receiver using Matlab software and also to verify whether the transmitted data is obtained at the receiver side. As we are using the OFDM technique we will be having bandwidth efficiency when compared to the normal FDM technique.Key words: Digital Baseband modulation, IQ modulation, Orthogonality, OFDM, PAPR.

18. | Privacy Preservation and Restoration of Data Using Unrealized Data Sets
Privacy Preservation and Restoration of Data Using Unrealized Data SetsAbstract: In today's world, there is an improved advance in hardware technology which increases the capability to store and record personal data about consumers and individuals. Data mining extracts knowledge to support a variety of areas as marketing, medical diagnosis, weather forecasting, national security etc successfully. Still there is a challenge to extract certain kinds of data without violating the data owners' privacy. As data mining becomes more enveloping, such privacy concerns are increasing. This gives birth to a new category of data mining method called privacy preserving data mining algorithm (PPDM). The aim of this algorithm is to protect the easily affected information in data from the large amount of data set. The privacy preservation of data set can be expressed in the form of decision tree. This paper proposes a privacy preservation based on data set complement algorithms which store the information of the real dataset. So that the private data can be safe from the unauthorized party, if some portion of the data can be lost, then we can recreate the original data set from the unrealized dataset and the perturbed data set.Index Terms: Data mining, Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM), Decision Tree, Decision Tree Learning, ID3 algorithm, C4.5 algorithm, Unrealized Dataset, Data Perturbation, Dataset Complementation.

A Study on Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Borewell Water In Sugar Town, Mandya City, Karnataka State, IndiaAbstract: Groundwater is a natural resource for drinking water .In addition to the population growth, urbanization and industrialization also extend the demand of water. Providing safe drinking water supply to the ever growing urban and sub-urban population is going to be a challenge to the civil authorities, city planners, policy makers and environmentalists. Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in both urban and rural areas of Mandya. Mandya city is rapidly raising population, changing lifestyle and intense competition among users- agriculture, industry and domestic sectors is driving the groundwater table lower. Besides, discharge of untreated wastewater through bores and leachate from unscientific disposal of solid wastes also contaminate groundwater, thereby reducing quality of fresh water resources. The present work is aimed at assessing the water quality index for the ground water samples of Sugar town, Mandya city. The groundwater samples of about 40 samples were collected and subjected for a comprehensive physicochemical analysis. The purposes of this investigation are to provide an overview of present ground water quality for the following 12 parameters such as pH, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, total dissolved solids, iron, fluoride, alkalinity are to be considered for calculating the WQI. The results are analyzed by WQI method for predicting water quality. Water Quality Index (WQI) is a very useful and effective way for assessing the quality of water. WQI is a very useful tool for communicating the information on overall quality of water.Key words: Groundwater, Water quality standards, Water quality characteristics, Water quality index.

20. | Adaptive Variable Structure Controller Application to Induction Motor Drive
Adaptive Variable Structure Controller Application to Induction Motor DriveAbstract: Variable structure control is an adaptive control that gives robust performance of a drive with parameter variation and load torque disturbance. Variable control structure is a robust control scheme based on the concept of changing the structure of the controller in response to the changing state of the system in order to obtain a desired response. The control is nonlinear and can be applied to the linear or nonlinear plant. A high speed switching control action is used to switch between different structures of the controller and the trajectory of the system is forced to move along a chosen switching manifold in the state space. The controller detects the deviation of the actual trajectory from the reference trajectory and corresponding changes the switching strategy to restore the tracking. Prominent characteristics such as invariance, robustness, order reduction, and control chattering are discussed in detail. Methods for coping with chattering are presented. Both linear and nonlinear systems are considered. By using Variable structure controller to control the step change in reference speed and drive system under load torque variations.Key words: scalar control, vector control Reference [1] Bose B.K.,"Modern Power Electronics and AC Drives", Pearson Education, 4th Edition, 2004 [2] R.M.

21. | Zigbee Based Indoor Campus Inventory Tracking Using Rfid Module
Zigbee Based Indoor Campus Inventory Tracking Using Rfid ModuleAbstract: This is a very useful application of RFID (Radio-frequency identification) and is very commonly used in institutes, offices, homes and so on. An RFID system consists of a reader device and a transponder. A transponder or tag has a unique serial number which is identified by the reader. Here RFID has been interfaced with ARM Processor to provide secured access. The relevant messages are also displayed on a 16x2 LCD.RFID automated access for door controls to buildings, departments, rooms, secured closets (wiring, PBX, etc.) and cabinets is very cost effective and secure to use. Many people do not realize how easy it is to implement card access systems such as card access door or doors using RFID readers and RFID Cards or Key fobs for Secured Access Control Management. You can even use smart readers for computer rooms and securing individual computers. RFID tags are categorized as either active or passive. Active tags are powered by an internal battery and are typically read/write,i.e tag data can be rewritten or modified. Passive tags operate without a separate external power source and obtain operating power generated from the reader.Key words: Zigbee, RFID Reference [1] Victor S, Jonathan M, Reece J, and Lemire J(2003),"Student Wolfpack Club Tracking System", North Carolina State University.

Experimental Study of the Flexural Behaviour of Damaged RC Beams Strengthened in Bending Moment Region with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) SheetsAbstract: This paper presents the flexural behaviour of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. For flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams, total twenty-two beams were cast and tested over an effective span of 900 mm up to failure of the beam under two-point loading. The beams were designed as under-reinforced beams. The beams were bonded with BFRP sheets in single layer and double layers in the bending moment region at the bottom face of the beam. Out of the twenty-two beams two beams were control beams and remaining beams were strengthened after being damaged for various degrees of damage (0 %, 70 %, 80 %, 90% and 100 %). The experimental results show that the beams strengthened show high load carrying capacity.Key words: Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP), Bending moment region, Control beam, Reinforced Concrete, Strengthened beam, Ultimate Load carrying capacity.

Effect of Cooking on the Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid and Antioxidant Properties of Small Indigenous Fish Species of the Eastern HimalayasAbstract: The effect of cooking method on the polyunsaturated fatty acid and antioxidant properties of small indigenous freshwater fish species, Amblypharyngodon mola and Puntius sophore of the Eastern Himalayas were determined. In the raw and fried samples, docosahexaenoic acid was significantly higher (2.907 and 1.167mg/100g) in Amblypharyngodon mola and lowest (0.749 and 0.291mg/100g) were recorded in Puntius sophore. The eicosapentaenoic acid of raw, fried and curried samples of Amblypharyngodon mola were recorded higher. In DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay of IC50 value of the raw fish extract were 2.9μg/ml and 1.66μg/ml respectively. The highest antioxidant activity was found in fish curry of Amblypharyngodon mola (0.11μg/ml). It shows that the Maillard reaction product forms the melanoidin during cooking, increases the antioxidant property of the fish curry and also improved the taste.Key words: Small indigenous fishes, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidant activity, cooking methods, Eastern Himalayas Reference [1] PK Talwar & AG Jhingran: Inland Fishes of India and adjacent countries.

26. | Channel Estimation Techniques in MIMO-OFDM LTE Systems
Channel Estimation Techniques in MIMO-OFDM LTE SystemsAbstract: There is an increasing demand for high data transmission rates with the evolution of the very large scale integration (VLSI) technology. The multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems are used to fulfill these requirements because of their unique properties such as high spectral efficiency, high data rate and resistance towards multipath propagation. MIMO-OFDM systems are finding their applications in the modern wireless communication systems like IEEE 802.11n, 4G and LTE. They also offer reliable communication with the increased coverage area. The bottleneck to the MIMO-OFDM systems is the estimation of the channel state information (CSI). This can be estimated with the help of any one of the Training Based, Semiblind and Blind Channel estimation algorithms. This paper presents various channel estimation algorithms, optimization techniques and their effective utilization in MIMO-OFDM for modern wireless LTE systems.Key words: Spectral Efficiency, OFDM, MIMO-OFDM systems, Channel Estimation, Channel State information, Pilot Carriers, subspace approach, LTE.

Delay Efficient Method for Delivering IPTV ServicesAbstract: Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is a system through which Internet television services are delivered using the architecture and networking methods of the Internet Protocol Suite over a packet-switched network infrastructure, e.g., the Internet and broadband Internet access networks, instead of being delivered through traditional radio frequency broadcast, satellite signal, and cable television (CATV) formats. IPTV provides mainly three services: live TV, catch up TV, and video on demand (VoD).This paper focuses on delivering the live TV services by exploiting the virtualised cloud architecture of the IPTV and statistical multiplexing. The VoD tasks are prescheduled so that there will be less Instant Channel Change (ICC) delay. We select a proper scheduling algorithm for rescheduling the VoD tasks. We then implement the scheduling algorithm for preshifting the VoD tasks.Key words: IPTV, Statistical multiplexing, Virtualization, Vo D, Live TV, Scheduling, ICC Delay Reference [1] Vaneet Aggarwal, Vijay Gopalakrishnan, Rittwik Jana, K.

Comparative Analysis of HVAC System Based on Life Cycle Cost AnalysisAbstract: A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is designed to satisfy the environmental requirements of comfort or a process, in a specific building or portion of a building and in a particular geographic locale. Efficient design of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is a primary concern in building projects. The objectives of the HVAC system design are to provide a thermal comfort, good indoor quality and energy conservation. For the typical commercial building projects, it is not difficult to acquire the reference settings for efficient operation. However, for some special projects, due to the specific design and control of the HVAC system, conventional settings may not be necessarily energy-efficient in daily operation. The HVAC system design and equipment selection for a commercial building (376 TR) is included as a case study in this paper. The outcomes of this paper are efficient design of HVAC system with minimum energy consumption and equipment selection based on operating and life cycle cost analysis.Key words: HVAC system, Life cycle cost analysis Reference [1] MaQuay chiller product catalogue [2] www.stcpl.com [3] ASHRAE Hanbook 2012 [4] ISHRAE Handbook - HVAC applications Jignesh M.

30. | Reversible Encrypytion and Information Concealment
Reversible Encrypytion and Information ConcealmentAbstract: Recently, a lot of attention is paid to reversible data hiding (RDH) in encrypted pictures, since it maintains the wonderful property that the initial image cover will be losslessly recovered when embedded data is extracted, whereas protects the image content that is need to be kept confidential. Other techniques used antecedently are to embed data by reversibly vacating area from the pictures, that area unit been encryted, may cause some errors on information extraction or image restoration. In this paper, we propose a unique methodology by reserving room before secret writing (i.e reserving room before encryption) with a conventional RDH algorithmic rule, and thus it becomes straightforward for hider to reversibly embed data in the encrypted image. The projected methodology is able to implement real reversibility, that is, information extraction and image recovery area unit free of any error. This methodology embedds larger payloads for constant image quality than the antecedently used techniques, like for PSNR= 40db.Key words: Reversible data hiding, privacy protection, bar chart shift, image secret writing.

3. | Coupled Line Band Pass Filter with Defected Ground Structure for Wide Band Application
Coupled Line Band Pass Filter with Defected Ground Structure for Wide Band ApplicationAbstract: In this paper a novel wideband microstrip band pass filter is proposed. The band pass filter is designed with coupling between two L-shaped microstriplines and is terminated with a high impedance line. The three circle shapes are etched out at the ground plane and is called defected ground structure (DGS), which provides better return loss as well as it reduces harmonics. Simulated and measured results both are in true agreement with each other. Results show that the defected microstrip filter has a good performance, including a wide pass band of 3.0 GHz to 5.6 GHz at 3dB cut off frequencies with bandwidth of 2.6 GHz, and a small insertion loss. The return loss is found to be higher than 15 dB.Index Terms: Bandpass filter, DGS Filter, Wide Band filter. Reference [1] J.S. Lim, C.S. Kim, Y.T. Lee, D. Ahn and S.

Burgers' Fluid with Slip Condition
Pressure Gradient Influence on MHD Flow for Generalized Burgers' Fluid with Slip ConditionAbstract: This paper presents a research for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible generalized Burgers' fluid including by an accelerating plate and flowing under the action of pressure gradient. Where the no – slip assumption between the wall and the fluid is no longer valid. The fractional calculus approach is introduced to establish the constitutive relationship of the generalized Burgers' fluid. By using the discrete Laplace transform of the sequential fractional derivatives, a closed form solutions for the velocity and shear stress are obtained in terms of Fox H- function for the following two problems: (i) flow due to a constant pressure gradient, and (ii) flow due to due to a sinusoidal pressure gradient. The solutions for no – slip condition and no magnetic field, can be derived as special cases of our solutions. Furthermore, the effects of various parameters on the velocity distribution characteristics are analyzed and discussed in detail. Comparison between the two cases is also made.Key words: Generalized Burgers' fluid, Constant pressure gradient, Sinusoidal pressure gradient, Fox Hfunction. Reference [1] A.

5. | Remaining Life Analysis of Boiler Tubes on Behalf of Hoop Stresses Produced During Operation of Power Plant
Remaining Life Analysis of Boiler Tubes on Behalf of Hoop Stresses Produced During Operation of Power PlantAbstract: Boiler tube material plays an important role in efficient power generation from a fossil fuel power plant. In order to meet out the gap between fluids to increase heat available per unit mass flow of steam. Waste heat utilization phenomenon is a big challenge on fossil fuel power plants as after use of high grade coal in thermal power plants the efficiency of power plants is not at the level of required value. Clean and efficient power generation with economical aspects is the basic need of growing power generation plants to justify the quality of power and clean power generation. Life analysis technique to calculate remaining life of boiler tubes at critical zones of high temperature requires much attention and is an important hypothesis in research field. Generation of repetitive and fluctuating stress during flow of high temperature and pressure fluid require proper attention on the methodology to be used to calculate the efficiency of system and absorption efficiency of tube material. In this paper complete mathematical analysis of boiler tubes is conducted for calculation of remaining life of boiler tubes, Hoop stress values are calculated and used with mathematical tool to calculate the efficiency. Hoop stress based calculation of efficiency is more reliable and may give more accurate and practical aspects based results.Key words: Absorption efficiency, Heat availability, Hoop stress analysis, Life analysis, Clean power, Tube material characteristics.

6. | Performance Comparison of CMOS and Finfet Based Circuits At 45nm Technology Using SPICE
Performance Comparison of CMOS and Finfet Based Circuits At 45nm Technology Using SPICEAbstract: According to the Moore's Law, the number of transistors in a unit chip area double every two years. But the existing technology of integrated circuit formation is posing limitations to this law. CMOS technology shows certain limitations as the device is reduced more and more in the nanometer regime out of which power dissipation is an important issue. FinFET is evolving to be a promising technology in this regard. This paper aims to analyze and compare the characteristics of CMOS and FinFET circuits at 45nm technology. Inverter circuit is implemented in order to study the basic characteristics such as voltage transfer characteristics, leakage current and power dissipation. Further the efficiency of FinFET to reduce power as compared to CMOS is proved using SRAM circuit. The results show that the average power is reduced by 92.93% in read operation and by 97.8% in write operation.Key words: 6T SRAM cell, CMOS vs FinFET, FinFETs, Low power nanoscale design, Power dissipation Reference [1] B.

7. | Modeling and Estimation of Stationary and Non-stationary Noises of Rubidium Atomic Clock
Modeling and Estimation of Stationary and Non-stationary Noises of Rubidium Atomic ClockAbstract: Noise estimation of atomic clock is one of the important research areas in the field of atomic clock development and application. Most of the atomic clocks are having random-stochastic noises and periodic noises due to temperature variation. Random-stochastic noises have a well identified signature in time domain but periodic noises are difficult to analyze in time domain. However, in this paper, an effort is made to identify and analyze the deterministic trends of both random-stochastic noises and periodic noises due to variation in temperature using an alternate approach of least-squares normalized-error (LSNE) regression algorithm. A MATLAB based application with graphical user interface (GUI) is developed to estimate and analyze random-stochastic noises and periodic noises and re-estimate the stability of rubidium atomic clock after removing these noises from the raw phase data. The estimation of stationary noises are done using Allan variance from time domain data and noise profile is calculated using curve fit method. The estimation of periodic noises due to temperature variation is carried in frequency domain through spurious analysis of the frequency data of atomic clock.Index Terms: LSNE, Rb, GUI, FP, WF, RWF Reference [1] Allan, D.

Finite Element Analysis of Fire Truck Chassis for Steel and Carbon Fiber MaterialsAbstract: Chassis is the foremost component of an automobile that acts as the frame to support the vehicle body. Hence the frame ought to be very rigid and robust enough to resist shocks vibrations and stresses acting on a moving vehicle. Steel in its numerous forms is commonly used material for producing chassis and overtime alumimium has acquired its use. However, in this study traditional materials are replaced with ultra light weight carbon fiber materials. High strength and low weight of carbon fibers makes it ideal for manufacturing automotive chassis. This paper depicts the modal and static structural analysis of TATA 407 fire truck chassis frame for steel as well as carbon fibers. From the analyzed results, stress, strain and total deformation values were compared for both the materials. Since it is easy to analyze structural systems by finite element method, the chassis is modified using PRO-E and the Finite Element Analysis is performed on ANSYS workbench.Key words: ANSYS, FEA, Ladder frame, Modal analysis, Structural analysis Reference [1] Chandra M.

Virulence Phenotype, Physicochemical Properties and Biofilm Formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on Polyethylene Used In Drinking Water Distribution SystemsAbstract: Potable water piping has been demonstrated to serve as a reservoir for opportunistic pathogens bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this report, we describe the characterization of P. aeruginosa strains isolated from water intended for human consumption by the presence of virulence factors. These strains expressed their suitability for adhesion and the formation of biofilms on polyethylene (PE). Also In this work, we were able to elucidate the factors intervening in adhesion and biofilm formation by showing the role of the substrate, the environment and bacteria. Strong correlation was observed between physicochemical properties especially the electron donor property and the surface percentage covered by cells. These results indicate that this property plays a crucial role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa adherence on the PE surface. In addition, if no relationship was found between the adhesion results and hydrophobicity, it means that this property was not involved in the adhesion process of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the PE surface.Key words: Biofilm, Physicochemical properties, Potable water piping, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Virulence phenotype.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm effect of five commercials disinfectants having different active principles (hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, isopropyl alcohol and ethanol) on four Staphylococcus strains isolated from hemodialysis unit surfaces. The disinfectants anti-adhesive effect was estimated to an exceeding rate 70% for the various studied dilutions and 90% towards the pure products. Whereas the anti-biofilm effect showed an elimination rate varying between 10 % and 95 % according to the following parameters: active principle, time of contact, concentration and bacterial strain. Our study demonstrated that all tested products have an interesting anti-adhesive effect and that the peroxide of hydrogen is endowed with important anti-biofilm efficiency, followed by the alcoholic products and the sodium hypochlorite.Key words: anti-adhesive effect, anti-biofilm effect, disinfectants, Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus sciuri Reference [1] J.J.

15. | Study of Microstructure Degradation of Boiler Tubes Due To Creep for Remaining Life Analysis
Study of Microstructure Degradation of Boiler Tubes Due To Creep for Remaining Life AnalysisAbstract: In the current scenario of power shortage in India, the main objective is to ensure availability of power plant and increasing its reliability. During assessment ,testing and inspection a simple question has to be asked again and again‖ How long the particular power plants can be operated safely and cost-effectively with satisfying increased requirements and operational availability with reduced pollutant emissions, even after their designed life. So to answer this important question regarding the operational capability of the existing plant the remaining life analysis (RLA) has to be done. The condition of the plant equipments can be assessed only by way of a RLA methodology. On the basis of RLA proper decision can be made about the plants safety and availability. There are many methods to carry out the RLA of the critical components out of which ―microstructure study‖ is a method. In this paper we have tried to outline the RLA procedures and review the various damage mechanisms based on microstructure study. It is also presents the microstructure changes and properties of 106720 service hour exposed boiler tube in a 120 MW boiler of a thermal power plant.Key words: service exposed boiler tubes, microstructure, remaining life analysis, creep.

17. | Design, Development and Testing of an Areca nut Dehusking Agri-machine
Design, Development and Testing of an Areca nut Dehusking Agri-machineAbstract: Areca nut has to be processed in dry condition by peeling the outer shell completely. Peeling of Areca nut is very difficult by hand. However it is being done manually by using a sharp knife with a production rate of 3kg/hr. So it is essential to develop an agri-machine which will increase the production rate and safety to labourers. Presently there are few machines available but these machines are not suitable for variety of sizes of Areca nut which leads into the insufficient removal of outer shell of Areca nut. Therefore there is enough scope to develop a agri-machine suitable for variety of sizes of Areca nut which will overcome these problems. The present reserch work emphasizes on developing an Areca nut Dehusking agri-machine for three different sizes of Areca nut. The concept is to shear-off the husk of the dry Areca nut by shearing force. The features a Dehusking mechanism, and a power drive. The experiments were conducted by changing the blades, and selecting the best method. The first experiment were conducted by mounting set of two cutters separated by spacers for each size of Areca nut, then the set of two cutters were replaced by single cutters and the results of both the experiments were compared and concluded that the single cutters were more efficient than the set of two cutters in Dehusking the Areca nut.Key words: Arecanut, Peeling, Dehusking, Agri-machine, cutters.

19. | Advanced Design of Composite Steel-Concrete Structural element
Advanced Design of Composite Steel-Concrete Structural elementAbstract: Composite framing system consisting of steel beams acting interactively with metal deck-concrete slab and concrete encased composite columns, has been as a viable alternative to the conventional steel or reinforced concrete system in the high-rise construction. However, in Indian context, it is comparatively new and no appropriate design codes are available for the same. Complications in the analysis and design of composite structures have led numerous researchers to develop simplified methods so as to eliminate a number of large scale tests needed for the design. In the present work, a simplified method of composite slabs, beams and columns design is used and software is developed with pre- and post- processing facilities in VB.NET. All principal design checks are incorporated in the software. The full and partial shear connection and the requirement for transverse reinforcement are also considered. To facilitate direct selection of steel section, a database is prepared and is available at the back end with the properties of all standard steel sections. Screen shots are included in the paper to illustrate the method employed for selecting the appropriate section and shear connectors and thus to verify the design adequacy.Reference [1.] Eurocode 4 (2004), "General rules for buildings design of composite steel and concrete structure", Committee Members of the European Union.

Design of PVC Bladed Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine for Low Wind Speed RegionAbstract: The Project is aimed at designing a wind turbine that can be able to build by Laypersons, using readily available material which is feasible & affordable to provide much needed electricity. Since most of the high wind power density regions in the zone of high wind speed are already being tapped by large scale wind turbine and so it required creating a large scope for the development of low wind speed turbines. Our study focuses primarily on designing the blade for tapping power in the regions of low wind power density. The aerodynamic profiles of wind turbine blades have major influence on aerodynamic efficiency of wind turbine. This can be achieved by comparing the effectiveness of a crude blade fashioned from a different Size, Material & standard of PVC drainage pipe which are easily available in market. It can be evaluated by performing experimental analysis, data collection & its evaluation on different type & size of PVC Pipe & preparing an analytical tool for best Design.Key words: Wind Turbine, Laypersons, Wind Power Density regions, Low wind Speed Turbines, Aerodynamic profiles, crude blade.

21. | A Survey of String Matching Algorithms
A Survey of String Matching AlgorithmsAbstract: The concept of string matching algorithms are playing an important role of string algorithms in finding a place where one or several strings (patterns) are found in a large body of text (e.g., data streaming, a sentence, a paragraph, a book, etc.). Its application covers a wide range, including intrusion detection Systems (IDS) in computer networks, applications in bioinformatics, detecting plagiarism, information security, pattern recognition, document matching and text mining. In this paper we present a short survey for well-known and recent updated and hybrid string matching algorithms. These algorithms can be divided into two major categories, known as exact string matching and approximate string matching. The string matching classification criteria was selected to highlight important features of matching strategies, in order to identify challenges and vulnerabilities.Key words: String matching, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), exact string matching, approximate string matching.

23. | Using Tunisian Phosphate Rock and Her Converted Hydroxyapatite for Lead Removal from Aqueous Solution
Using Tunisian Phosphate Rock and Her Converted Hydroxyapatite for Lead Removal from Aqueous SolutionAbstract: Natural and synthesis apatites represent a cost effective soil amendment, which can be used for in situ reduction of lead bioavailability and mobility. In our previous work, we selected Tunisian Phosphate Rock (TPR) and Hydroxyapatite (CaHAp) as promising minerals for the removal of lead from aqueous solutions. X-ray powder diffraction patterns (DRX), Infra Red (IR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize TPR and CaHAp. CaHAp was prepared from TPR and employed for the removal of Pb2+ ions at different concentrations from aqueous solution to determine the adsorption properties of CaHAp and compare them with those of a TPR. The kinetic data obtained indicated that the adsorption performances of the adsorbents depended both on their specific surface area and crystallinity. Complexation of lead ion on the adsorbent surface favoured the dissolution of hydroxyapatites characterized by a Ca/Pb molar ratio of 1.69. The maximum adsorption capacity of CaHAp for Pb2+ ions at 25 °C was 1.806 mmol /g relative to 1.035 mmol /g for TPR at the same temperature. The higher capacity of CaHAp was explained in terms of its porosity and crystallinity. The Pb2+ ions sorption results could be modelled by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The simulations of adsorption isotherms of Pb2+ on CaHAp allow us to conclude that there is a good correlation between the experimental data and the Langmuir model. On TPR, we show a good correlation between the experimental data and the Langmuir and Freundlich model.Index Term: Tunisian Phosphate Rock, Hydroxyapatite, lead, sorption kinetics, Freundlich, Langmuir.

5. | Computational Design and Analysis of Core Material of Single-Phase Capacitor Run Induction Motor
Computational Design and Analysis of Core Material of Single-Phase Capacitor Run Induction MotorAbstract: A Single-phase induction motor (SPIM) has very crucial role in industrial, domestic and commercial sectors. So, the efficient SPIM is a foremost requirement of today's market. For efficient motors, many research methodologies and propositions have been given by researchers in past. Various parameters like as stator/rotor slot variation, size and shape of stator/rotor slots, stator/rotor winding configuration, choice of core material etc. have momentous impact on machine design. Core material influences the motor performance to a degree. Magnetic flux linkage and leakage preliminary depends upon the magnetic properties of core material and air gap. The analysis of effects of core material on the magnetic flux distribution and the performance of induction motor is of immense importance to meet out the desirable performance. An increase in the air gap length will result in the air gap performance characteristics deterioration and decrease in air gap length will lead to serious mechanical balancing concern. So possibility of much variation in air gap beyond the limits on both sides is not feasible. For the optimized performance of the induction motor the core material plays a significant role. Using higher magnetic flux density, reduction on a magnetizing reactance and leakage of flux can be achieved. In this thesis work the analysis of single phase induction motor has been carried out with different core materials. The four models have been simulated using Ansys Maxwell 15.0. Higher flux density selection for same machine dimensions result into huge amount of reduction in iron core losses and thereby improve the efficiency. In this paper 2% higher efficiency has been achieved with Steel_1010 as compared to the machine using conventional D23 material. Out of four models result reflected by the machine using steel_1010 and steel_1008 are found to be better.Key words: Single-Phase induction motor, core material, Maxwell 15.0 Reference [1] G.

7. | A Single Phase to Three Phase PFC Half-Bridge Converter Using BLDC Drive with SPWM Technique
A Single Phase to Three Phase PFC Half-Bridge Converter Using BLDC Drive with SPWM TechniqueAbstract: In this paper, a buck half-bridge DC-DC converter is used as a single-stage power factor correction (PFC) converter for feeding a voltage source inverter (VSI) based permanent magnet brushless DC motor (BLDC) drive. The front end of this PFC converter is a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) fed from single-phase AC mains. The BLDC is used to drive a compressor load of an air conditioner through a three-phase VSI fed from a controlled DC link voltage. The speed of the compressor is controlled to achieve energy conservation using a concept of the voltage control at DC link proportional to the desired speed of the BLDC. Therefore the VSI is operated only as an electronic commutator of the BLDC. The stator current of the BLDC during step change of reference speed is controlled by a rate limiter for the reference voltage at DC link. The proposed BLDC drive with voltage control based PFC converter is designed, modeled and its performance is simulated in Matlab-Simulink environment for an air conditioner compressor driven through a 1.5 kW, 1500 rpm BLDC motor. The evaluation results of the proposed speed control scheme are presented to demonstrate an improved efficiency of the proposed drive system with PFC feature in wide range of the speed and an input AC voltage.Index Terms: PFC, BLDC, Air conditioner, Buck Half- bridge converter, Voltage control, VSI.

Comparative Study for Adsorptive Removal of Coralene Blue BGFS Dye from Aqueous Solution by MgO and Fe2O3 as an AdsorbentAbstract: Textile industries represent biggest impact on the environment due to high water consumption and waste water discharge as government control water pollution by setting strength regulation for waste water discharge, removal of color from waste water becomes more and more essential and attractive. Adsorption technology is very efficient in treatment of textile effluent. In this paper comparison of adsorption phenomena of textile dye Anthraquinone blue onto two different adsorbents MgO nano powder and Fe2O3 amorphous powder has been studied for removal of said dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorption of Anthraquinone blue on adsorbents occurs by studying the effects of adsorbent amount, dye concentration, contact time and pH of solution. All results found that MgO nano powder and Fe2O3 provide a fairly high dye adsorption capacity, which combined with their fulfilment of pollution control board's standards, lack of pollution, lower environmental hazard and low-cost makes them promising for future applications. The present work also provides information on optimum value of different operating parameter for dye removal by two adsorbent.Key words: Textile industries, dye removal, MgO nano powder, Fe2O3 amorphous powder, Adsorption, Anthraquinone blue dye.

An Efficient Data Communication Using Conventional CodesAbstract: The BER performance of conventional FFT-OFDM system is compared with DWT-OFDM system and DCT-OFDM system in an AWGN environment and Saleh-Valenzuela (SV) channel model at 60 GHz. Several wavelets such as Haar, Daubechies, Symlet, biorthogonal are considered. The BER is calculated for signaling format BPSK and the performance is analyzed at 60 GHz. Simulation results show that DCT based scheme yields the lowest average bit error rate. While out of all wavelet mother used Haar and Daubechies wavelet based scheme yields lower BER than FFT-OFDM for an AWGN channel. But it may include the implementation of forward error correction techniques such as convolution codes. An efficient channel estimation algorithm may be included for performance evaluation of DCT-OFDM and DWT- OFDM working at 60 GHz band. We introduce the Interfacing Techniques for Accessing data transfer data delivery. By using our approach we are increasing the efficiency of the data communication.Index Terms: orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), Fourier-based OFDM (FFT-OFDM), discrete cosine transform (DCT), DCT, FPGA, OFDMA, QAM, VHDL.

15. | A Decision tree and Conditional Median Filter Based Denoising for impulse noise in images
A Decision tree and Conditional Median Filter Based Denoising for impulse noise in imagesAbstract: Impulse noise is often introduced into images during acquisition and transmission. Even though so many denoising techniques are existing for the removal of impulse noise in images, most of them are high complexity methods and have only low image quality. Here a low cost, low complexity VLSI architecture for the removal of random valued impulse noise in highly corrupted images is introduced. In this technique a decision- tree- based impulse noise detector is used to detect the noisy pixels and an efficient conditional median filter is used to reconstruct the intensity values of noisy pixels. The proposed technique can improve the signal to noise ratio than any other technique.Reference [1] P.-Y. Chen, C.-Y. Lien, and H.-M.

16. | Human Segmentation Using Haar-Classifier
Human Segmentation Using Haar-ClassifierAbstract: Segmentation is an important process in many aspects of multimedia applications. Fast and perfect segmentation of moving objects in video sequences is a basic task in many computer visions and video investigation applications. Particularly Human detection is an active research area in computer vision applications. Segmentation is very useful for tracking and recognition the object in a moving clip. The motion segmentation problem is studied and reviewed the most important techniques. We illustrate some common methods for segmenting the moving objects including background subtraction, temporal segmentation and edge detection. Contour and threshold are common methods for segmenting the objects in moving clip. These methods are widely exploited for moving object segmentation in many video surveillance applications, such as traffic monitoring, human motion capture. In this paper, Haar Classifier is used to detect humans in a moving video clip some features like face detection, eye detection, full body, upper body and lower body detection.Key words: Object Segmentation, background subtraction, temporal, Tracking, Haar Classifier and object detection Reference [1]. http://www.merl.com/areas/video-segmen tation.

MoO3 Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization and Its Hindering Effect on Germination of Vigna Unguiculata SeedsAbstract: Molybdenum trioxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction analysis was done to confirm that the obtained product was MoO3. The scanning electron microscopy was done to study the shape, size distribution and surface morphology of nanoparticles; they had a hexagonal shape with smooth surface and uniform size distribution. The functional groups were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effect of MoO3 nanoparticles on seed germination of vigna unguiculata was studied for 6 days from the day of sowing, by comparing the time taken for seeds to germinate and length of shoot with respect to time of the seeds sowed in heavy black soil whose nutrient composition was known with seeds sowed in the same heavy black soil but which was made rich with MoO3 nanoparticles. It was observed that the MoO3 nanoparticles hampered the germination of vigna unguiculata seeds and this restraint continued in the shoot growth also.Key words: Heavy black soil, MoO3 nanoparticles, Seed germination, Shoot growth, Vigna unguiculata Reference [1] ARNAB GANGULY and RAJI GEORGE "Synthesis, characterization and gas sensitivity of MoO3 nanoparticles" Bull.

Transient Stability Enhancement of a Multi-Machine System using Particle Swarm Optimization based Unified Power Flow ControllerAbstract: In this paper an attempt has beenmade to investigate the transient stability enhancement of both SMIB and Multi-machine system using UPFC controller tuned by Particle Swarm Optimization. Power injection modelfor a series voltage source of UPFC has been implemented to replace UPFC by equivalent admittance. The admittance matrix of the power system is then modified according to the power injection model of UPFC. To mitigate the power oscillations in the system, the required amount of series voltage injected by UPFC controller has been computed in order to damp inter area & local mode of oscillations in multi-machine system.Key words: UPFC, Transient Stability, Converters, SMIB, Multi-machine modeling, Capacitor Dynamics,UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller), FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System), Power injection model.

23. | Use of Hidden Markov Mobility Model for Location Based Services
Use of Hidden Markov Mobility Model for Location Based ServicesAbstract: These days people prefer to use portable and wireless devices such as laptops, mobile phones, They are connected through satellites. As user moves from one point to other, task of updating stored information becomes difficult. Provision of Location based services to users, faces some challenges like limited bandwidth and limited client power. To optimize data accessibility and to minimize access cost, we can store frequently accessed data item in cache of client. So small size of cache is introduced in mobile devices. Data fetched from server is stored on cache. So requested data from user is provided from cache and not from remote server. Question arises that which data should be kept in the cache? Performance of cache majorly depends on the cache replacement policies which select data suitable for eviction from cache. This paper presents use of Hidden Markov Models(HMMs) for prediction of user‟s future location. Then data item irrelevant to this predicted location is fetched out from the cache. The proposed approach clusters location histories according to their location characteristics and also it considers each user‟s previous actions. This results in producing high packet delivery ratio and minimum delay.Key words: Cache replacement policy, Hidden Markov Model, Hidden state, Location Based Services, random Variables Reference [1] http://www.personal.psu.edu/sxr360/blogs/ mobileadhoc networkpic [2] http://www.watblog.com/2008/04/16/mobile -positioning-and-location-based-services-an-insight-into-the-future-of-mobile/ [3] Ajey Kumar, Manoj Misra, Anil K.

24. | Memristor Modeling Using PSPICE
Memristor Modeling Using PSPICEAbstract: Since conventional CMOS technology is facing the challenges in scaling down the devices beyond 22nm level, there is urgent need of new nanoscale devices. Memristor, known as the fourth basic two-terminal circuit element, has attracted many research interests since the first real device was developed by HP labs in 2008. The concept was originally put forward by Dr. Leon Chua in September 1971. The memristor has a unique capability of carrying a memory of its recent past. The memristor holds the value of previously applied voltage even when the power is switched off, in the form of its resistance level. That's an effect that cannot be duplicated by any circuit combination of resistor, capacitor and inductor, which is why the memristor qualifies as the fourth fundamental circuit element. The research is in progress on the concept of the memristor and its practical implementation. However it has not been commercially manufactured yet. However since memristor is at the experimental level only, the memristance characteristics and its effects in different circuits can only be observed using software simulations only. To study the effect of implementation of memristor in various electronic circuits, there is need of a standard memristor model which can be accepted universally and its results should be mathematically true and should resemble the theoretically proposed concepts. The manuscript describes a new memristor model simulated using PSPICE and its results.Key words: Charge—Flux relationship, I-V plot, Mathematical modeling, Memristance, Non volatile memory Reference [1] L.

28. | Detecting Aspect Intertype Declaration Interference at Aspect Oriented Design Models: A Database Approach
Detecting Aspect Intertype Declaration Interference at Aspect Oriented Design Models: A Database ApproachAbstract: Implementing crosscutting concerns requires aspect oriented developers to be enabled to introduce some mem-bers to core concerns modules along with other. This may lead to a problem of interference among modules, either between classes and aspects or among aspects themselves. Such conflicts may cause program to crash at runtime. Interference problem is addressed but with complex solutions that become more complicated propor-tionally with the project size. In this work a relational database approach and relational algebra is used to detect intertype declaration interferences in aspect oriented design models in order to capture conflicts in an early stage before having it as runtime error. Detection is done in an approach not that complex as the previous ones.Key words: Aspect Oriented Programming, Databases, Interference Detection, Intertype Declaration, Rela-tional Algebra.

29. | Performance Analysis of Acoustic Echo Cancellation Techniques
Performance Analysis of Acoustic Echo Cancellation TechniquesAbstract: Mainly, the adaptive filters are implemented in time domain which works efficiently in most of the applications. But in many applications the impulse response becomes too large, which increases the complexity of the adaptive filter beyond a level where it can no longer be implemented efficiently in time domain. An example of where this can happen would be acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) applications. So, there exists an alternative solution i.e. to implement the filters in frequency domain. AEC has so many applications in wide variety of problems in industrial operations, manufacturing and consumer products. Here in this paper, a comparative analysis of different acoustic echo cancellation techniques i.e. Frequency domain adaptive filter (FDAF), Least mean square (LMS), Normalized least mean square (NLMS) &Sign error (SE) is presented. The results are compared with different values of step sizes and the performance of these techniques is measured in terms of Error rate loss enhancement (ERLE), Mean square error (MSE)& Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).Key words: Acoustic echo cancellation, Error rate loss enhancement, Frequency domain adaptive filtering, Least mean square, Mean square error, Normalized least mean square, Peak signal to noise ratio, Sign error.

30. | Dual Authentication For Bluetooth Connection
Dual Authentication For Bluetooth ConnectionAbstract: Recently, Bluetooth technology is widely used by organizations and individuals to provide wireless personal area network (WPAN). This is because the radio frequency (RF) waves can easily penetrate obstacles and can propagate without direct line-of-sight (LoS). These two characteristics have led to replace wired communication by wireless systems. However, there are serious security challenges associated with wireless communication systems because they are easier to eavesdrop, disrupt and jam than the wired systems. Bluetooth technology started with a form of pairing called legacy pairing prior to any communication. However, due to the serious security issues found in the legacy pairing, a secure and simple pairing called SPP was announced with Bluetooth 2.1 and later since 2007. SPP has solved the main security issue which is the weaknesses of the PIN code in the legacy pairing, however it has been found with some vulnerabilities such as eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Since the discovery of these vulnerabilities, some enhancements have been proposed to the Bluetooth Specification Interest Group (SIG) which is the regulatory body of Bluetooth technology; nevertheless, some proposed enhancements are ineffective or are not yet implemented by Manufacturers. Therefore, an improvement of the security authentication in Bluetooth connection is highly required to overcome the existing drawbacks. This proposed protocol uses Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) algorithm with Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256). The implementation of this proposal is based on the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) as software and a Bluetooth (BT) Shield connected to an Arduino Uno R3 boards as hardware. The result was verified on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) built in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with C sharp as default environment. It has shown that the proposed scheme works perfectly with the used hardware and software. In addition, the protocol thwarts the passive and active eavesdropping attacks which exist during SSP. These attacks are defeated by avoiding the exchange of passwords and public keys in plain text between the Master and the Slave. Therefore, this protocol is expected to be implemented by the SIG to enhance the security in Bluetooth connection.Key words: Authentication, Bluetooth Security, HMAC Algorithm, Legacy Pairing, Secure and Simple Pairing.

Leveraging the Power of Smartphones: Real Time Monitoring of Water PointsAbstract: In recent years, the world has become more sophisticated. Different aspects of today's life has been digitized, this include; business, education, health, communication and numerous community services. With the existing extended coverage of cellular networks, most services are constantly deployed to be accessed via mobile phones, as they are also the most pervasive pocket carried devices. Though, both regular and smartphone can be used to convey the basics of mobile based services such as mobile banking, calling and text messaging, smartphone goes extra mile. While regular phones are still the better choice for some, smartphones are tremendously taking over the cellphone market. Smartphones are powered by the vast amount of mobile apps available today which offer unprecedented features and functionalities and as well more advanced internet connectivity. To ensure reliable, sufficient and safe water supply to public, the installed water points need to be well monitored. Quality and quantity parameters of water produced from the water points are constantly tracked to determine if they are within the acceptable range. In case of acute condition, the identified parameters need to be instantly communicated to the District Water Engineer (DWE) for prompt intervention. In this paper we explore the popularity and advantages of smartphones and present a proposed prototype that exploit the power of smartphones in real time monitoring of water points.Key words: Cellular Network, Mobile app, Smartphone, WAMIS Reference [1] Iftode, L, Borcea, C, Ravi N, Kang P, Zhou P.

32. | Fuzzy Keyword Search Over Encrypted Data in Cloud Computing
Fuzzy Keyword Search Over Encrypted Data in Cloud ComputingAbstract: As Cloud Computing becomes prevalent, more and more sensitive information are being centralized into the cloud. For the protection of data privacy, sensitive data usually have to be encrypted before outsourcing, which makes effective data utilization a very challenging task. Although traditional searchable encryption schemes allow a user to securely search over encrypted data through keywords and selectively retrieve files of interest, these techniques support only exact keyword search. This significant drawback makes existing techniques unsuitable in cloud computing as it is greatly affect system usability, rendering user searching experiences very frustrating and system efficiency very low. In this paper, for the first time we formalize and solve the problem of effective fuzzy keyword search over encrypted cloud while maintaining keyword privacy. In our solution, we exploit edit distance to quantify keyword similarity and develop new advanced technique on constructing fuzzy keyword sets which greatly reduces the storage and representation overheads. In this way, we show that our proposed solution is secure and privacy preserving, while realizing the goal of fuzzy keyword search.Key words: String Matching Algorithm, System Architecture Reference [1] D.

Performance Analysis of Low Power, High Gain Operational Amplifier Using CMOS VLSI DesignAbstract: The operational amplifier is one of the most useful and important component of analog electronics. They are widely used in popular electronics. Their primary limitation is that they are not especially fast. The typical performance degrades rapidly for frequencies greater than about 1 MHz, although some models are designed specifically to handle higher frequencies. The primary use of op-amps in amplifier and related circuits is closely connected to the concept of negative feedback. The operational amplifier has high gain, high input impedance and low output impedance.

Reliability Analysis of a 3-Machine Power Station Using State Space ApproachAbstract: With the advent of high-integrity fault-tolerant systems, the ability to account for repairs of partially failed (but still operational) systems become increasingly important. This paper presents a systemic method of determining the reliability of a 3-machine electric power station, taking into consideration the failure rates and repair rates of the individual component (machine) that make up the system. A state-space transition process for a 3-machine with 23 states was developed and consequently, steady state equations were generated based on Markov mathematical modeling of the power station. Important reliability components were deduced from this analysis. This research simulation was achieved with codes written in Excel®-VBA programming environment. System reliability using state space approach proofs to be a viable and efficient technique of reliability prediction as it is able to predict the state of the system under consideration. For the purpose of neatness and easy entry of data, Graphic User Interface (GUI) was designed.Key words: Failure Probability, Markov model, Reliability, Repair Rate and State Space Reference [1] Energy Commission of Nigeria, National energy policy report, Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2003, 8.

35. | Seismic Response of R C Building With Different Arrangement of Steel Bracing System
Seismic Response of R C Building With Different Arrangement of Steel Bracing SystemAbstract: In general the most suitable choices in improvement of reinforcement concrete frame against lateral loading is used steel bracing system. The use of steel bracing has potential advantage over other scheme like higher strength and stiffness, economical, occupies less space, adds much less weight to existing structure. In this study, the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with different types of bracing (Diagonal, V type, inverted V type, X type) is studied. The bracing is provided for peripheral columns. A seven-storey (G+6) building is situated at seismic zone III. The building models are analyze by equivalent static analysis as per IS 1893:2002 using Staad Pro V8i software. The main parameters consider in this paper to compare the seismic analysis of buildings are lateral displacement, storey drift, axial force, base shear. It is found that the X type of steel bracing significantly contributes to the structural stiffness and reduces the maximum interstorey drift of R.C.C building than other bracing system.Key words: Base Shear, Lateral Displacement, Retrofit, Seismic Analysis, Steel Bracing, Storey Drift, etc. Reference [1] Badoux M., Jirsa J.

36. | Ship Detection from SAR Imagery Using CUDA and Performance Analysis of the System
Ship Detection from SAR Imagery Using CUDA and Performance Analysis of the SystemAbstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Ship Detection System SDS is an important application from the point of view of Maritime Security monitoring. It allows monitoring traffic, fisheries, naval warfare. Since full-resolution SAR images are heavily affected by the presence of speckle, ship detection algorithms generally employ speckle reduced SAR images at the expense of a degradation of the spatial resolution. The proposed Parzen-window-kernel-based algorithm and CFAR algorithm can be considered an alternative to manual inspection for large ocean areas. Promising results and high detection rates for the ships have been achieved. In Parzen-window-kernel-based algorithm for ship detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, first, the data-driving kernel functions of Parzen window are utilized to approximate the histogram of real SAR image, in order to complete the accurate modeling of SAR images. Then ship detection is implemented using a Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR). After detecting threshold, the output is added to edge detection algorithm employed on SAR image. Clearer detection of ship candidates is obtained by applying Parzen-window-kernel-based algorithm by changing its window size. Experimental results show that SDS implemented using CUDA is faster than on CPU.Key words: SAR, Parzen Window, CFAR, Ship detection Reference [1] Christina Corbane, Layrent Najman, Emilien Pecoul, A complete processing chain for ship detection using satellite imagery, International Journal of Remote Sensing Vol. 31, No. 22, 20 November 2010, 5837–5854.

37. | Evolution of Modelling Techniques for Service Oriented Architecture
Evolution of Modelling Techniques for Service Oriented ArchitectureAbstract: Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a software design and architecture design pattern based on independent pieces of software providing functionality as services to other applications. The benefit of SOA in the IT infrastructure is to allow parallel use and data exchange between programs which are services to the enterprise. Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a standardized general-purpose modelling language in the field of software engineering. The UML includes a set of graphic notation techniques to create visual models of object-oriented software systems. We want to make UML available for SOA as well. SoaML (Service oriented architecture Modelling Language) is an open source specification project from the Object Management Group (OMG), describing a UML profile and meta-model for the modelling and design of services within a service-oriented architecture. BPMN was also extended for SOA but there were few pitfalls. There is a need of a modelling framework which dedicated to SOA. Michael Bell authored a framework called Service Oriented Modelling Framework (SOMF) which is dedicated for SOA.Key words: BPMN, Service Oriented Architecture, Service Oriented Modelling Framework, SoaML, UML.

We propose a novel approach named tri-state buffer with common data bus which reduces the total power & delay of elastic buffer. The paper presents a design and implementation of tri-state buffer mechanism. This design offers also the advantage of third state (High Impedance state) of tri-state buffer. The proposed elastic buffer design using tri-state buffer is implemented in Cadence tools.

39. | Design and Simulation of Different Controllers for Stabilizing Inverted Pendulum System
Design and Simulation of Different Controllers for Stabilizing Inverted Pendulum SystemAbstract: The Inverted Pendulum system has been identified for implementing controllers as it is an inherently unstable system having nonlinear dynamics. The system has fewer control inputs than degrees of freedom which makes it fall under the class of under-actuated systems. It makes the control task more challenging making the inverted pendulum system a classical benchmark for the design, testing, evaluating and comparing. The inverted pendulum to be discussed in this paper is an inverted pendulum mounted on a motor driven cart. The aim is to stabilize the system such that the position of the cart on the track is controlled quickly and accurately so that the pendulum is always erected in its vertical position. In this paper the linearized model was obtained by Jacobian matrix method. The Matlab-Simulink models have been developed for simulation for optimal control design of nonlinear inverted pendulum-cart dynamic system using different control methods. The methods discussed in this paper are a double Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control method, a modern Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control method and a combination of PID and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control methods. The dynamic and steady state performance are investigated and compared for the above controllers.Key words: Inverted pendulum (IP), nonlinear system, double PID control, optimal control, LQR Reference [1] K.

Secured Data Transmission Using Video Steganographic SchemeAbstract: Steganography is the art of hiding information in ways that avert the revealing of hiding messages. Video Steganography is focused on spatial and transform domain. Spatial domain algorithm directly embedded information in the cover image with no visual changes. This kind of algorithms has the advantage in Steganography capacity, but the disadvantage is weak robustness. Transform domain algorithm is embedding the secret information in the transform space. This kind of algorithms has the advantage of good stability, but the disadvantage of small capacity. These kinds of algorithms are vulnerable to steganalysis. This paper proposes a new Compressed Video Steganographic scheme. The data is hidden in the horizontal and the vertical components of the motion vectors. The PSNR value is calculated so that the quality of the video after the data hiding is evaluated.Index Terms: Data hiding, least significant bit(LSB), encryption, decryption, PSNR Reference [1] Hussein A.

with Low Quantum Cost and Low Power Consumption
Efficient Design of Ripple Carry Adder and Carry Skip Adder with Low Quantum Cost and Low Power ConsumptionAbstract: The addition of two binary numbers is the important and most frequently used arithmetic process on microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSP), and data-processing application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC). Therefore, binary adders are critical structure blocks in very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuits. Their effective application is not trivial because a costly carry spread operation involving all operand bits has to be achieved. Many different circuit constructions for binary addition have been planned over the last decades, covering a wide range of presentation characteristics. In today era, reversibility has become essential part of digital world to make digital circuits more efficient. In this paper, we have proposed a new method to reduce quantum cost for ripple carry adder and carry skip adder. The results are simulated in Xilinx by using VHDL language.Key words: Carry Skip Adder, Ripple Carry Adder, Quantum Cost, Reversible Logic, VLSI Reference [1] R.

2. | Wavelet-Based Fault Location and Distance Protection Method for Transmission Lines
Wavelet-Based Fault Location and Distance Protection Method for Transmission LinesAbstract: This paper presents a single-ended traveling wave -based fault location and distance protection method for a hybrid transmission line: an overhead line combined with an underground cable. Dis-crete wavelet transformation (DWT) is used to extract transient information from the measured voltages. Support vector machine (SVM) classifiers are utilized to identify the faulty-section and faulty-half. Bewley diagrams are observed for the traveling wave patterns and the wavelet coeffi cients of the aerial mode voltage are used to locate the fault. The transient simulation for different fault types and locations are obtained by ATP using frequency - de-pendent line and cable models. MATLAB is used to process the simulated transients and apply the proposed method. The perfor-mance of the method is tested for different fault inception angles (FIA), different fault resistances, non-linear high impedance faults (NLHIF), and non-ideal faults with satisfactory results. The impact of cable aging on the proposed method accuracy is also investigated.Index Terms: Alternative transients program (ATP), fault lo-cation, frequency -dependent line model, support vector machine, travelling waves, underground cable, wavelet transformation.

4. | Efficient Design of Reversible Multiplexers with Low Quantum
Cost
Efficient Design of Reversible Multiplexers with Low Quantum CostAbstract: Multiplexing is the generic term used to designate the operation of sending one or more analogue or digital signals over a common transmission line at dissimilar times or speeds and as such, the scheme we use to do just that is called a Multiplexer. In digital electronics, multiplexers are similarly known as data selectors as they can "select" each input line, are made from individual Analogue Switches encased in a single IC package as conflicting to the "mechanical" type selectors such as standard conservative switches and relays. In today era, reversibility has become essential part of digital world to make digital circuits more efficient. In this paper, we have proposed a new method to reduce quantum cost and power for various multiplexers. The results are simulated in Xilinx by using VHDL language.Key words: FRG Gate , MFRG Gate , Multiplexer , Power Consumption , Quantum Cost. Reference [1] R.

5. | An Efficient Frame Embedding Using Haar Wavelet Coefficients And Orthogonal Component Analysis
An Efficient Frame Embedding Using Haar Wavelet Coefficients And Orthogonal Component AnalysisAbstract: Digital media, applications, copyright defense, and multimedia security have become a vital aspect of our daily life. Digital watermarking is a technology used for the copyright security of digital applications. In this work we have dealt with a process able to mark digital pictures with a visible and semi invisible hided information, called watermark. This process may be the basis of a complete copyright protection system. Watermarking is implemented here using Haar Wavelet Coefficients and Principal Component analysis. Experimental results show high imperceptibility where there is no noticeable difference between the watermarked video frames and the original frame in case of invisible watermarking, vice-versa for semi visible implementation. The watermark is embedded in lower frequency band of Wavelet Transformed cover image. The combination of the two transform algorithm has been found to improve performance of the watermark algorithm. The robustness of the watermarking scheme is analyzed by means of two distinct performance measures viz. Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Normalized Coefficient (NC).Key words: Digital Watermark, Principal Component Analysis, Discrete (Haar) Wavelet Transform, PSNR, NormalizedCoefficient.

Loss less DNA Solidity Using Huffman and Arithmetic CodingAbstract: DNA Sequences making up any bacterium comprise the blue print of that bacterium so that understanding and analyzing different genes with in sequences has become an exceptionally significant mission. Naturalists are manufacturing huge volumes of DNA Sequences every day that makes genome sequence catalogue emergent exponentially. The data bases such as Gen-bank represents millions of DNA Sequences filling many thousands of gigabytes workstation storing capability. Solidity of Genomic sequences can decrease the storage requirements, and increase the broadcast speed. In this paper we compare two lossless solidity algorithms (Huffman and Arithmetic coding). In Huffman coding, individual bases are coded and assigned a specific binary number. But for Arithmetic coding entire DNA is coded in to a single fraction number and binary word is coded to it. Solidity ratio is compared for both the methods and finally we conclude that arithmetic coding is the best.Key words: DNA, Solidity, Huffman coding, Arithmetic Coding, Solidity Ratio.

9. | Accuracy Assessment for Multi-Channel ECG Waveforms Using Soft Computing Methodologies
Accuracy Assessment for Multi-Channel ECG Waveforms Using Soft Computing MethodologiesAbstract: ECG waveform rhythmic analysis is very important. In recent trends, analysis processes of ECG waveform applications are available in smart devices. Still, existing methods are not able to accomplish the complete accuracy assessment while classify the multi-channel ECG waveforms. In this paper, proposed analysis of accuracy assessment of the classification of multi-channel ECG waveforms using most popular Soft Computing algorithms. In this research, main focus is on the better rule generation to analyze the multi-channel ECG waveforms. Analysis is mainly done inSoft Computing methods like the Decision Trees with different pruning analysis, Logistic Model Trees with different regression process and Support Vector Machine with Particle Swarm Optimization (SVM-PSO). All these analysis methods are trained and tested with MIT-BIH 12 channel ECG waveforms. Before trained these methods, MSO-FIR filter should be used as data preprocessing for removal of noise from original multi-channel ECG waveforms. MSO technique is used for automatically finding out the cutoff frequency of multichannel ECG waveforms which is used in low-pass filtering process. The classification performance is discussed using mean squared error, member function, classification accuracy, complexity of design, and area under curve on MIT-BIH data. Additionally, this research work is extended for the samples of multi-channel ECG waveforms from the Scope diagnostic center, Hyderabad. Our study assets the best process using the Soft Computing methods for analysis of multi-channel ECG waveforms.Key words: Multi-swarm optimization, Decision Trees,Logistic Model Trees and SVM with Particle Swarm Optimization (SVM-PSO).

11. | BIM-Based Cost Estimation/ Monitoring For Building Construction
BIM-Based Cost Estimation/ Monitoring For Building ConstructionAbstract: Proper Cost Estimate, Monitor and Control (CEM&C) are vital for the success of construction projects. Starting from preliminary design to project closing, CEM&C progressively becomes more complex and challenging. Visualization can add another dimension to monitor and control where major deviations can be visually detected and analyzed. However, literature related to visualization in construction and integrating it with cost control is still in its early stages. Building Information Modeling (BIM) can have promising impact in that domain. In this paper, a comprehensive cost estimating and monitoring model is presented. The model is integrated with BIM to provide the user with the capability of visualizing actual cost expended in different building elements and compare it with that budgeted at different time intervals. It provides construction practitioners with vital data that help them in taking appropriate corrective actions in case of any deviation from the budget. An example application is presented to demonstrate the capability and applicability of the model.Key words: Cost monitoring and Control, Cost Variances, Cost Estimate, BIM, Visualization.

14. | Human Emotion Recognition From Speech
Human Emotion Recognition From SpeechAbstract: Speech Emotion Recognition is a recent research topic in the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) field. The need has risen for a more natural communication interface between humans and computer, as computers have become an integral part of our lives. A lot of work currently going on to improve the interaction between humans and computers. To achieve this goal, a computer would have to be able to distinguish its present situation and respond differently depending on that observation. Part of this process involves understanding a user‟s emotional state. To make the human computer interaction more natural, the objective is that computer should be able to recognize emotional states in the same as human does. The efficiency of emotion recognition system depends on type of features extracted and classifier used for detection of emotions. The proposed system aims at identification of basic emotional states such as anger, joy, neutral and sadness from human speech. While classifying different emotions, features like MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient) and Energy is used. In this paper, Standard Emotional Database i.e. English Database is used which gives the satisfactory detection of emotions than recorded samples of emotions. This methodology describes and compares the performances of Learning Vector Quantization Neural Network (LVQ NN), Multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) and their combination for emotion recognition.Key words: Emotion recognition; Feature extraction; Mel-scale Frequency Cepstral Coefficients; Neural Network; Support Vector Machines; Reference [1] Prof. Sujata Pathak, Prof. Arun Kulkarni, "Recognizing Emotions from Speech", 3rd International conference, Vol.:6, pp.107-109, IEEE 2011.

16. | Design Optimization and Development in Air Pollution Control Device
Design Optimization and Development in Air Pollution Control DeviceAbstract: Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) is the device used to remove the dust particles from the processed gases coming out of boilers in cement industries, and iron core industries. There are many governing factors that affect the efficiency from that one major reason is to fully filled hopper. When hopper fills 70 % of its full limit the precipitation process stopped of that particular hopper. For remedy dust removal efficiency is increased by hopper vibrator at the time of emptying bagasse ash from the hopper. The maximum displacement is getting by using different hopper wall thicknesses, stiffener spacing as well as different configuration vibrators. Due to minimum time to complete project there are many difficulties to test at every stage to improve the design and this results in increased project cost. For this situation there is one simple way to improve the design of equipment's through simulation in ANSYS and validation by actual physical measurements. This project presents FEA approach for modeling and analysis the hopper of electrostatic precipitator using Static, Modal and Harmonic analysis.

19. | Soft Computing Technique Based Enhancement of Transmission System Lodability Incorporating Facts
Soft Computing Technique Based Enhancement of Transmission System Lodability Incorporating FactsAbstract: Due to the growth of electricity demands and transactions in power markets, existing power networks need to be enhanced in order to increase their loadability. The problem of determining the best locations for network reinforcement can be formulated as a mixed discrete-continuous nonlinear optimization problem (MDCP). The complexity of the problem makes extensive simulations necessary and the computational requirement is high. This paper compares the effectiveness of Evolutionary Programming (EP) and an ordinal optimization (OO) technique is proposed in this paper to solve the MDCP involving two types of flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) devices, namely static var compensator (SVC) and thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC), for system loadability enhancement. In this approach, crude models are proposed to cope with the complexity of the problem and speed up the simulations with high alignment confidence. The test and Validation of the proposed algorithm are conducted on IEEE 14–bus system and 22-bus Indian system.Simulation results shows that the proposed models permit the use of OO-based approach for finding good enough solutions with less computational efforts.Index Terms: Flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS), network congestion, Ordinal Optimization, particle swarm optimization, tangent vector, transmission system loadability.

23. | Formation and Characterization of Mixed Crystals Based on Bis (Thiourea)Cadmium Chloride and Bis (Thiourea)Cadmium Iodide
Formation and Characterization of Mixed Crystals Based on Bis (Thiourea)Cadmium Chloride and Bis (Thiourea)Cadmium IodideAbstract: Bis(thiourea)cadmium chloride(BTCC) and bis(thiourea)cadmium iodide (BTCI) are metal complexes of thiourea having better nonlinear optical properties than KH2PO4. An attempt has been made in the present study to form mixed crystals based on BTCC and BTCI (even though their crystal lattices mismatch) from aqueous solutions, the precursors mixed in proper proportions. A total of seven (including the end members) crystals were formed by the free evaporation method and characterized chemically, structurally, thermally, optically and electrically. The X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that (BTCC)X(BTCI)1-X crystals with x=1.0,0.8 and 0.6 are orthorhombic in structure with space group Pmn21 and that with x=0.5, 0.4, 0.2 and 0.0 are monoclinic in structure with space group P21/c. All the grown crystals are found to be thermally stable up to 215 °C and possessing wide optical transmission window (300-900 nm) which is suitable for NLO applications. The electrical measurements indicate that the grown crystals exhibit a normal dielectric behavior. The results obtained in the present study indicate that mixed crystals can be formed from the isomorphous precursors directly even though the end member's crystals have lattice mismatching.Key words: Optical materials, Crystal growth, Electrical transport, Optical properties, Nonlinear optics, X-ray diffraction Reference [1] C.K.

A drastic change in morphology was inferred with the concentration of L-alanine. Mixed crystals have better optical transparency as well as NLO efficiency than the pure BTCBC which were imperative for nonlinear applications. Also L-alanine mixing increases the hardness.

25. | Efficient and Secure Single Sign on Mechanism for Distributed Network
Efficient and Secure Single Sign on Mechanism for Distributed NetworkAbstract: Distributed network act as core part to access the various services which are available in the network. But the security related to distributed network is main concern. In this paper single sign-on SSO mechanism is introduced which gives access to all services by allowing to sign on only once by users. In this mechanism once user logs in to the Trusted Authority Center TAC then application or services which are register to trusted center will automatically verifies the user's credentials details and these credentials like password or digital signature will be only one for all applications or services. Unlike all other previous mechanisms where in, if user wants to have access multiple services then for every service distinct user credentials (username, password) must be required. SSO act as single authentication window to user for admittance multiple service providers in networks. Previously introduced technique based SSO technology proved to be secure over well-designed SSO system, but fails to provide security during communication. So here emphasis is given on authentication as open problem and on to refining the already proposed SSO process. And to do this along with RSA algorithm which was used in previous SSO process, we will be using MAC algorithm, which is intended to provide secured pathway for communication over distributed network.TAC i.e. Trusted Authority Center is used for sending token integrated with private and shared public key to user.Key words: Authentication, Attacks, Distributed network services, Single Sign on mechanism, SSO Reference [1] Guilin Wang, Jiangshan Yu, and Qi Xie "Security Analysis of a Single Sign On Mechanism for Distributed Computer Networks", IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS, VOL 9 NO 1 FEBRUARY 2013 [2] A.

Error Rate Analysis of MIMO System Using V Blast Detection Technique in Fading Diversity EnvironmentAbstract: Wireless communication system with multi- antenna arrays has been a field of intensive analysis on the last years. The appliance of multiple sending antennas and Receiving Antennas either side will considerably enhance the data rate and rate. The review of the performance limitations of MIMO system becomes vital since it will provide lot ideas in understanding and planning the important life MIMO systems. Vertical Bell Laboratories layered space Time (V-BLAST). The thought behind Multiple Input and Multiple Output system is that the signals on the transmitter antennas at one finish and also the receiver antennas at the opposite finish are correlative in such how that the performance (Bit Error Rate or BER) or the info rate (bits/sec) of the wireless communication system for every MIMO subscriber are improved. During this paper we tend to are proposing a technique that evaluates the performance of V-BLAST MIMO system in several thought of Rayleigh attenuation surroundings to urge higher performance of the system. In V- BLAST MIMO system a number of linear detection techniques will be used for interference cancellation. At this point we are using MMSE-IC for the same.

28. | Evaluation of Antioxidant Phytochemicals in Different Genotypes of Potato
Evaluation of Antioxidant Phytochemicals in Different Genotypes of PotatoAbstract: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is considered a natural source of phytochemicals that help lower the risk of chronic diseases. Thus, ascorbic acid, total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of Indian potato genotypes were studied. 'Kufri Pukhraj' was the best genotype in terms of nutritional components, since it contained the highest amount of ascorbic acid (19.42 mg/100g), and total phenolic content (68.20 mg GAE/100g). Also 'Kufri Pukhraj' had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity of 67.30%. On the other hand, genotype 'Kufri Chipsona-1', most commonly used cultivar for processing, displayed the lowest content of total phenolics (31.30 mg GAE/100g) and total antioxidant activity (28.80%). Correlation analysis between total phenolic content and antioxidant activity (r=0.8502) showed a high degree of correlation indicating that these bioactive components contributes to the total antioxidant activity in potato genotypes.Key words: Antioxidants, ascorbic acid, potato, phenols, phytochemicals Reference [1] C Tamuly, B.

Effect of Milling Time on Al-Fe-Cr-20 Wt. % Al2O3composite Prepared Through Ball MillingAbstract: One of the main challenges towards achieving a homogeneous distribution of the ceramic phase in the metal matrix composites is agglomeration of the reinforcement particles. Mechanical alloying is among the most important processing techniques used for manufacturing of metal matrix composites (MMCs).An attempt was made to synthesize Al-Fe-Cr-Al2O3composites synthesized through mechanical alloying. Al2O3 is used as reinforcement. Ethanol (5 wt. %) has been used as a process control agent (PCA). Mechanical alloying is carried out in a conventional ball mill using stainless steel grinding media at 115 rpm in the argon environment for 5h, 10h and 15h. The ball to powder weight ratio was maintained at 20:1. The characterization of the ball milled powder was followed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

32. | Quantitative Modeling Of Formation Damage On The Reservoir During Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery
Quantitative Modeling Of Formation Damage On The Reservoir During Microbial Enhanced Oil RecoveryAbstract: Microbial enhanced oil recovery is an inexpensive, environmentally friendly method of oil recovery, utilizing the potentials of certain microbes to significantly influence oil productionwith wide range of oil recovery mechanisms including oil mobilization, reservoir re-pressurization, permeability alteration, mobility control and a range of other exploitable recovery techniques. This study presents an investigation on the degree of damage to the reservoir as a result of microbial injection. Results from this analysis shows that for a continuous microbial injection process, the pore area of the formation reduces equivalently due to microbial plugging and or as a result of biomass accumulation in the reservoir. The prevailing effects of formation damage (skin) due to these microbes are also presented. Residual fluid flow rates and corresponding velocities were found to reduce in magnitude with deducing pore area after several days of injection.Key words: Damage, MEOR,Microbes, Modeling Pore Area.

33. | Integrated Petrophysical Parameters and Petrographic Analysis Characterizing Khartam Reservoirs of the Permo-Triassic Khuff Formation, Saudi Arabia
Integrated Petrophysical Parameters and Petrographic Analysis Characterizing Khartam Reservoirs of the Permo-Triassic Khuff Formation, Saudi ArabiaAbstract: Measured porosity and permeability were integrated with thin section petrography and pertophysical attributes derived from mercury intrusion to form an essential outline for Khartam reservoirs of the Permo-Triassic Khuff Formation. Porosity-permeability distribution of thirty two outcrop core samples delineates an existence of five demonstrative pertophysical facies. Thin section petrography reveals dissolution as principal diagenetic feature controlling fluid flow in Khartam reservoirs. Based on dissolution and poro – perm distribution it was found that, better khartam reservoirs quality confined to dolostone facies type (QK1) and tidat flat oolite grainstone facies (QK27) with higher degree of dissolution owing to cement removal. Further supports to dissolution statement come from physical attributes acquired from mercury intrusion including pore size distribution tail and total cumulative intrusion volume. Correspondingly facies with higher pore size distribution tail and higher total cumulative intrusion volume restricted to dolostone facies type (QK1) and oolite grainstone facies type (QK27).Key words: Khartam reservoirs, Khuff Formation, dissolution, cumulative intrusion volume, pore size distribution tail Reference [1] R Powers, L Ramirez, C.

3. | Improvement of Voltage Quality of Micro Turbine Generator With Matrix Converter & Venturini Technique's
Improvement of Voltage Quality of Micro Turbine Generator With Matrix Converter & Venturini Technique'sAbstract: In recent years, application of Distributed Generation (DG) sources has increased significantly. Micro turbine-Generator (MTG) is well suitable for different distributed generation applications, because it can be connected in parallel to serve larger loads, can provide reliable power and has low-emission. The main characteristics of MTG can be summarized in low maintenance, capacity of operation with liquid and gas fuels (including natural gas) and small area required for installation [1]. MTGs have the rated power from 30 to 250 kW, generating electricity in ac, and they can be installed in isolated conditions or synchronized with the electrical utility.MTGs are available as single-shaft or split-shaft units. Single-shaft unit is a high-speed synchronous machine with the compressor and turbine mounted on the same shaft. While, the split-shaft design uses a power turbine rotating at 3000 rpm and a conventional generator connected via a synchronous generator-PMSG), frequency converters (interface converters), and protection and control systems (Fig. 1)[1] . The interface converter is used to convert PMSG output voltage frequency (high frequency) to power system (50/60 Hz) frequency.Key words: Micro- turbine Genrator (MTG), Distributed generators, Matrix Converter (MC), Harmonics (H), Reference [1] A.

5. | Prototypic Gps-Gsm Integration for Enhancing Public Transportation and Management Services.
Prototypic Gps-Gsm Integration for Enhancing Public Transportation and Management Services.Abstract: This paper proposes and implements a solution for enhancing public transportation management services based on GPS and GSM. Travel time information is a vital component of many intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications. In recent years, the number of vehicles in India has increased tremendously, leading to severe traffic congestion and pollution in urban areas, particularly during peak periods. A desirable strategy to deal with such issues is to shift more people from personal vehicles to public transport by providing better service (comfort, convenience and so on). In this proposed system we introduced advanced public transportation systems (APTS) for public service. Advanced public transportation systems (APTS) are one of the most important ITS applications, which can significantly improve the traffic situation in India. One such application will be to provide accurate information about bus arrivals to passengers, leading to reduced waiting times at bus stops. This needs a real-time data collection technique, a quick and reliable prediction technique to calculate the expected travel time based on real-time data and informing the passengers regarding the same. The scope of this proposed system is to use global positioning system data collected from public transportation buses on urban roadways in the city of Chennai, India, to predict travel times. The performance of the proposed system is found to be promising and expected to be valuable in the development of advanced public transportation systems (APTS) in India. The work presented here is one of the first attempts at real-time short-term prediction of travel time for ITS applications in Indian traffic conditions.Key words: GPS, GSM, Public transportation management services, Bus Station Module, In-BUS Module, BASE Station Module, BUS Stop Module, Rush statistical analysis Reference [1] P&D Department Punjab and Dainichi Consultants Inc., "Urban transport policy study for five cities of Punjab Provinc," Nov 2008.

Analysis and Optimization of an Electro-Thermally and Laterally Driven Poly-Silicon Micro-ActuatorAbstract: A Large displacement at low voltage is generally provided by electro-thermal mechanisms. A 3-D MEMS electro-thermal micro-actuator has been designed and simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3 which is geometrically optimized to explore the effect of dimensional variation on its performance. Metallic electro-thermal actuators provide large displacements at low voltages but at the same time, the maximum temperature in the device rises very sharply due to their highly conductive nature. To overcome this problem, a semi-conductor material; poly-silicon which is compatible with IC technology is used. For further improvements in terms of displacement and temperature, the geometry of the actuator is optimized.Key words: MEMS, Electro-thermal Actuator, Joule Heat, Thermal Expansion Reference [1] V.S.

7. | Wavelet Based Image Watermarking
Wavelet Based Image WatermarkingAbstract: here it introduces an efficient multi-resolution watermarking methodology for copyright protection of digital images. By adapting the watermark signal to the wavelet coefficients, the proposed method is highly image adaptive and the watermark signal can be strengthen in the most significant parts of the image. As this property also increases the watermark visibility, usage of the human visual system is incorporated to prevent perceptual visibility of embedded watermark signal. Experimental results show that the proposed system preserves the image quality and is vulnerable against most common image processing distortions. Furthermore, the hierarchical nature of wavelet transform allows for detection of watermark at various resolutions, resulting in reduction of the computational load needed for watermark detection based on the noise level. The performance of the proposed system is shown to be superior to that of other available schemes reported in the literature.Key words: Watermarking, Wavelet transform, embedding algorithm, detection algorithm, human visual system Reference [1] C.

Stiffness Characteristics of Joshi's External Stabilization System under Axial Compression: a Finite Element Method Based StudyAbstract: A finite element model of fractured tibia with Joshi's External Stabilizing System (JESS) mounted on it was developed using 3D beam elements in the ANSYS software. The model was loaded in axial compression and the average axial stiffness of the model was calculated. The analytical value of axial stiffness was compared with reported experimental value to validate the finite element model. The validated model was used to carry out parametric studies on the model to determine the axial properties of JESS. It was observed that axial stiffness of JESS increased by 58% when k-wire diameter was varied from 2 mm to 4 mm while keeping other geometric configurations of the device constant; however, the axial stiffness of the device does not show any significant improvement when the diameter of medio-lateral pins in diaphyseal hold were increased. The findings should help in understanding the axial properties of JESS so that it can be used judiciously in clinical applications.Key words: JESS, external fixators, tibial fracture, axial stiffness, k-wires, finite element analysis Reference [1] R.

Data Mining Based Skin Pixel Detection Applied On Human Images: A Study PaperAbstract: Skin segmentation is the process of the identifying the skin pixels in a image in a particular color model and dividing the images into skin and non-skin pixels. It is the process of find the particular skin of the image or video in a color model. Finding the regions of the images in human images to say these pixel regions are part of the image or videos is typically a preprocessing step in skin detection in computer vision, face detection or multi-view face detection. Skin pixel detection model converts the images into appropriate format in a color space and then classification process is being used for labeling of the skin and non-skin pixels. A skin classifier identifies the boundary of the skin image in a skin color model based on the training dataset. Here in this paper, we present the survey of the skin pixel segmentation using the learning algorithms.Key words: Skin segmentation, Data mining and machine learning, Computer Vision, Color Models, WEKA Reference [1] Bernhard Fink, K.G., Matts, P.J.: Visible skin color distribution plays a role in the perception of age, attractiveness, and health in female faces.

Plasma AntennaAbstract: The fundamental base of plasma antenna is the use of an ionized medium as a conductor. The plasma antenna is a radiofrequency antenna formed by a plasma columns, Filaments or sheets, which are excited by a surface wave. The relevance of this device is how rapidly it can be turned on and off, only applying an electrical pulse. Besides its wide carrier frequency, the great directivity and controllable antenna shape. Otherwise a disadvantage is that it needs energy to be ionized. There are studies to reduce this power to ionize and maintain the plasma tube with higher plasma densities and frequencies.Reference [1] D.C.

14. | Diagnostic Efficiency and Prognostic Value of Troponin T Measurement in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Diagnostic Efficiency and Prognostic Value of Troponin T Measurement in Acute Myocardial InfarctionAbstract: The diagnosis and prognosis of patients hospitalized with acute myocardial ischemia is quite variable. We examined the value of serum levels of cardiac Troponin T, serum CK-MB levels for detection of ischemic myocardial injury and risk stratification within 40 days in patients with acute myocardial ischemia with one specimen taken 2-8 hours of the onset of symptoms.Methods We studied 141 patients with a diagnosis of acute ischemic myocardial injury. The concentration of TnT and CK-MB is made on Coobas 6000 by a electrochemioluminescence and turbidometric methods. Results The median duration of the ischemic episodes qualifying the patients for the study was 4 hours. Chest pain was continuous in 51.8% and intermittent in 48.2%. Troponin T levels were elevated in 47 % of the patients whose ischemic symptoms had lasted more than seven hours (p= 0.06). 33% of the patients had the elevated troponin T level but CK-MB level was normal. Mortality within 40 days was significantly higher in these patients than in patients with lower levels of troponin T. The troponin T level was variable and most strongly related to 40-day mortality (chi-square=23, p<0,001) followed by CK-MB (chi-square=10, p=0,005). Conclusions The cardiac troponin T level is a powerful, independent risk marker useful in the diagnosis of infarction and in the identification of patients at increased risk of mortality and morbidity.

15. | Word Problem Solver for Probability
Word Problem Solver for ProbabilityAbstract: Word Problems are designed to help students to learn the application of mathematical concepts, algebraic identities and formulae in the real world. Variables are assigned the values of "real-world‟ entities and a logical approach in solving them is established. They help the students to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the real world application of it by giving them hypothetical situations about the same. Probability is a measure or estimation of how likely it is that a particular event will happen. Probability concepts need to be properly understood before attempting to solve any problem related to it. In view of this a survey was conducted. Students from various schools and coaching classes were approached for the same. The study shows that majority of the students experience difficulties in identifying and understanding what exactly the word problem signifies and what approach it demands. Also, the process of learning Probability needs to be specialized given the different understanding levels of each and every student in contrast to the generalized education techniques that are being used in traditional classrooms. Keeping in mind these issues, Word Problem Solver for Probability is implemented, which caters to the learning needs of each and every student individually by providing a step-by-step solution to all problems from the Probability domain.Key words: Events, Probability, Problem Solver, Sample Space, Teaching Aid Word.

19. | Performance Analysis of Wireless Networks With MDQOS
Performance Analysis of Wireless Networks With MDQOSAbstract: In Wireless/Mobile networks various kinds of encoding schemes were used for transmission of data over a bandwidth. The desired quality and generated traffic varies with the requirement with this bandwidth. A generic video telephony may require more than 40 kbps whereas a low motion video telephony may require about 25 kbps for data transmission. From the designing point of view these requirements demands for an alternative resource planning, especially for bandwidth allocation in wireless networks. In wireless network where bandwidth is a scare resource, the system may need to block incoming user if all of the bandwidth has been used to provide highest quality of service to existing users. However this bandwidth resource planning may be unacceptable for larger application. A degradable approach to multiple users can be made on bandwidth allocation to reduce the blocking probability without degrading the quality of service to existing users. This work aims towards a realization of a wireless/mobile network using W-CDMA multi access technique supporting multilevel quality of services. The bandwidth allocation to multiple users is adjusted dynamically according to the required network condition so as to increase bandwidth utilization. The work analyze the performance deriving the degradation period ratio, mean degradation time and degradation state for the implemented wireless network.The proposed work is aim to implement on Matlab tool for its functional verification considering various mobility patternsReference [1] S.

20. | Probability-Based Diagnostic Imaging Technique Using Error Functions for Active Structural Health Monitoring
Probability-Based Diagnostic Imaging Technique Using Error Functions for Active Structural Health MonitoringAbstract: This study presents a novel probability-based diagnostic imaging (PDI) technique using error functions for active structural health monitoring (SHM). To achieve this, first the changes between baseline and current signals of each sensing path are measured, and by taking the root mean square of such changes, the energy of the scattered signal at different times can be calculated. Then, for different pairs of signal acquisition paths, an error function based on the energy of the scattered signals is introduced. Finally, the resultant error function is fused to the final estimation of the probability of damage presence in the monitoring area. As for applications, developed methods were employed to various damage identification cases, including cracks located in regions among an active sensor network with different configurations (pulse-echo and pitch-catch), and holes located in regions outside active network sensors with pitch-catch configuration. The results identified using experimental Lamb wave signals at different central frequencies corroborated that the developed PDI technique using error functions is capable of monitoring structural damage, regardless of its shape, size and location. The developed method doesn't need direct interpretation of overlaid and dispersed lamb wave components for damage identification and can monitor damage located anywhere in the structure. These bright advantages, qualify the above presented PDI method for online structural health monitoring.Key words: Probability-based diagnostic imaging, Structural health monitoring, Lamb waves, Piezoelectric transducers, Scattered signal energy, Error function Reference [1] J.-B.

23. | FPGA Implementation of 2-D DCT & DWT Engines for Vision Based Tracking of Dynamic Obstacles
FPGA Implementation of 2-D DCT & DWT Engines for Vision Based Tracking of Dynamic ObstaclesAbstract: Real time motion estimation for tracking is a challenging task. Several techniques can transform an image into frequency domain, such as DCT, DFT and wavelet transform. Direct implementation of 2-D DCT takes N^4 multiplications for an N x N image which is impractical. The proposed architecture for implementation of 2-D DCT uses look up tables. They are used to store pre-computed vector products that completely eliminate the multiplier. This makes the architecture highly time efficient, and the routing delay and power consumption is also reduced significantly. Another approach, 2-D discrete wavelet transform based motion estimation (DWT-ME) provides substantial improvements in quality and area. The proposed architecture uses Haar wavelet transform for motion estimation. In this paper, we present the comparison of the performance of discrete cosine transform, discrete wavelet transform for implementation in motion estimation.Key words: Discrete Cosine Transform, Discrete Wavelet Transform, Look up tables, Haar wavelet transform Reference [1] Nathan Funk ,"A Study of the Kalman filter applied to Visual Tracking,", University of Alberta, Project for CMPUT 652,Probabilistic Methods in Artificial Intelligence, December 7, 2003 [2] Ut-Va Koc, Member, IEEE, and K.

Modification of Recycled Al-332 Alloy Using Manganese DioxideAbstract: Aluminum and its alloys are commercially available materials for both domestic (cooking utensils, beverages can) and industrial applications (automobile and aircraft structural parts). This study presented the effect of the use of manganese dioxide (MnO2), obtained from discarded dry cell batteries on the features and formation of pores in recycled pistons (Al-332 alloy). 3kg of recycled Al-332 alloy was obtained in form of ingot. 150 g of the ingot was re-melted and the molten alloy was treated with 2 to 12g of MnO2. The molten alloy was stirred gently for 1 minute, sand cast and normalized. Parts of the cast samples were used for microstructural analysis, tensile strength and hardness test following standard test procedures in accordance with ASTM E8M-91 standards (1992). The distribution of pores present in the cast alloys were studied using fractal analysis and spatial point pattern method (SPP). The hardness, tensile strength, average fractal dimensions and sphericities were related to the amount of MnO2. The micrographs revealed an absolute reduction in pores at 8gram addition of MnO2. Maximum hardness and tensile values of 50.8BHN and 65.01MN/m2 were obtained at 8 g addition of MnO2, above which there is decrease in properties of the material. The weighted average fractal dimension and sphericity for as-cast and sample treated with 8 g of MnO2 are 1.3276 and 0.3357; 1.0050 and 0.9918 respectively. Spatial point pattern revealed that the pores in the samples are randomly distributed. The study has established that manganese dioxide is a good modify for recycled Al-332 alloy. It improved the mechanical properties of the alloy and reduce the pores in the cast sample to the barest minimum.Key words: Recycled Al-332 Alloy, MnO2, Fractal Analysis, Spatial Point Pattern Reference [1] Compbell, J.

28. | Mitigation of Voltage Fluctuations in Power System Using STATCOM
Mitigation of Voltage Fluctuations in Power System Using STATCOMAbstract: Wind energy being a renewable source of energy is enjoying a rapid growth globally. However, wind energy being an uncontrollable source of energy coupled with the fact that it uses distributed induction generators for power conversion poses a challenge in integrating a large scale wind-farm into a weak power system. An actual weak power system with two large Wind-Farms (WFs) coupled to it is introduced as part of this study. A model of this integrated system along with a STATCOM for steady state and dynamic impact study is developed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The power quality issues are highlighted and a centralized STATCOM is proposed to solve the issue of the voltage fluctuations in particular in addition to addressing the other issues. Based on the results obtained from the simulation, the system voltage control issues are analyzed and the location of STATCOM is assessed. Finally, a STATCOM control strategy for suppression of voltage fluctuations is presented.Index Terms: Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), voltage fluctuation, voltage stability, wind farm (WF).

In this study, algorithms for face detection, eye detection and eye state analysis have been studied and presented as well as an efficient algorithm for detection of face, eyes have been proposed. Firstly the efficient algorithm for face detection method has been presented which find the face area in the human images. Then, novel algorithms for detection of eye region and eye state are introduced. In this paper we propose a multi-view based eye state detection to determine the state of the eye. With the help of skin color model, the algorithm detects the face regions in an YCbCr color model. By applying the skin segmentation which normally separates the skin and non-skin pixels of the images, it detects the face regions of the image under various lighting and noise conditions. Then from these face regions, the eye regions are extracted within those extracted face regions. Our proposed algorithms are fast and robust as there is not pattern match.Key words: Image Processing, Skin Detection, Face Detection, Eye detection, Color Models Reference [1] Research on Drowsy Driving, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, [online] Available: http://www.nhtsa.gov/Driving+Safety/Distracted+Driving/Research+on +Drowsy+Driving [2] [M.

1. | Estimation of the Influence of Rainfall on the Groundnut yield in India - a Data Mining Approach
Estimation of the Influence of Rainfall on the Groundnut yield in India - a Data Mining ApproachAbstract: In Indian agriculture, particularly, rainfall shows a vivid effect on agriculture. Rain is essential to agriculture because without water no plants will be survived. A regular rainfall is essential for healthy plants, too much or very little rainfall can harm plants and agriculture. Drought can destroy crops and increase corrosion, while excessively wet weather can help harmful fungus grow. Need of rainfall is varying from plant to plant. Since Indian agriculture is rainfall dependent, in the present paper an attempt is made to predict the influence of rainfall on yield of the groundnut in India. To carry the present research work a dataset is prepared with the annual measurements of the groundnut yield and rainfall for a period of 62 years. The groundnut yield and rainfall data is collected from secondary sources like, the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, India, and the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, India. Over the dataset prepared, an experiment is conducted to know the fact. The experiment results revealed that the groundnut yield is negligible negatively influenced by the rainfall.Key words: Data mining, prediction, correlation, regression, correlation analysis, regression analysis.

2. | A Systematic Study on Composition of Low Viscosity Automotive Lube Oils with an Emphasis on Wear and Frictional Characteristics
A Systematic Study on Composition of Low Viscosity Automotive Lube Oils with an Emphasis on Wear and Frictional CharacteristicsAbstract: In this work the performance of three commercial lube oils and two base oils of different viscosities, composition have been studied for their tribo performance using four ball tribo tester as per ASTM D 4172D and IP 239 and at the end of the test run the steel ball surfaces have been examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM) to assess the wear deformities. The tribo-performance results have been co-related with the physico-chemical properties along with quantity and type of the molecules present in these oils by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies. It has been observed that the lubricant with higher viscosity, higher aromatic molecules containing CH₂ chains shows lower friction and wear behavior whereas the increasing napthenic type molecules have reverse effect which is evident from the results.Key words: Engine oil, four ball tester, molecular Component, SEM, Tribo-performance, Reference [1] Erdemir A.

3. | Corrosion Behaviour of Titanium Anodized Film in Different Corrosive Environments
Corrosion Behaviour of Titanium Anodized Film in Different Corrosive EnvironmentsAbstract: Anodizing is an electrochemical process in which thickness of the natural oxide layer is increased and converted it into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant film. Titanium is used as a biocompatible material in human implants due to its excellent corrosion and wears resistance. Stable, continuous, highly adherent, and protective oxide films can be developed on titanium using various acid or alkaline baths. Anodizing of titanium generates a spectrum of different color without use of dyes. This spectrum of color dependent on the thickness of the oxide, voltage ranges, interference of light reflecting off the oxide surface and reflecting off the underlying metal surface. The anodized film of Titanium is mainly consists of TiO2 or mixtures of TiO2 & Ti2O3 etc. In the present work, Pure Titanium plate has been anodized using bath of Chromic Acid at different voltage range. The anodized film is characterized by visual observation, SEM & EDAX analysis & A.C Impedance Spectroscopy, while the corrosion studies were performed using Potentiodynamic studies were performed in 3.5% NaCl & 0.1N H2SO4. The Results show that the anodized film of Titanium show different spectrum of colors from Brown-Violet-Tea or Peacock. SEM & EDAX analyses show that the anodized film of Titanium is mainly made up of TiO2 and Ti2O3. Potentiodynamic study implies that the film developed on Titanium using the bath of Chromic Acid exhibits good corrosion resistance. The A.C. Impedance study shows that the film is more compact, adherent and more uniform in chromic acid bath.Key words: Anodizing of Titanium, Coloring Effect, Potentiodynamic Test, AC Impedance Test, SEM & EDAX analysis Reference [1] J.-L.

4. | Performance Monitoring of Vibration in Belt Conveyor System
Performance Monitoring of Vibration in Belt Conveyor SystemAbstract: We are always using some kind of machines in our daily life starting from fan, refrigerator and washing machines at home. In case of industries of industrial machinery items condition monitoring is important to know onset impending defects. There are so many types of indicating phenomenon such as vibration, heat, debris in oil, noise and sounds which emanate from these in efficiently running machines. This paper presents the vibration related fault identification and maintenance of belt conveyor systems (BCS). After analyzing the spectrum and vibration readings, it was observed that a combination of parallel and angular misalignment between motor & gear box was present causing high axial and radial vibration. The defect was rectified by mechanical maintenance activities and latter the vibration was found reduced within limit. Also the vibration readings were taken after rectification. The above results are presented in this paper.Key words: Gear box, Peak amplitude, Vibration Spectrum, Monitoring, Analysis Reference [1] R.K.Biswas "vibration based condition monitoring of rotating machines" national conference on condition monitoring [NCCM-2006] December 2006 pg no 34-40.

5. | Strength Evaluation of Steel-Nylon Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Strength Evaluation of Steel-Nylon Hybrid Fibre Reinforced ConcreteAbstract: When fibres like steel, glass, polypropylene, nylon, carbon, aramid, polyester, jute, etc are mixed with concrete known as fibre reinforced concrete. To overcome the deficiencies of concrete; fibres are added to improve the performance of concrete. In this research hybrid reinforced concrete is made by using steel and nylon 6 fibres. The inclusion of both steel and nylon 6 fibres are used in order to combine the benefits of both fibers; structural improvements provided by steel fibers and the resistance to plastic shrinkage improvements provided by nylon fibers. So the aim of this project is to investigate the mechanical properties (compressive strength, flexure strength and split tensile strength) of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete under compression, flexure & tension. The total volume of fibre was taken 0.75 % of total volume of concrete. In this experimental work, four different concrete mix proportions were casted with fibres and one mix without fibres. Four different mix combinations of steel- nylon 6 fibres were 100-00%, 75-25%, 50-50% and 25-75%. Superplasticizer was used in all mixes to make concrete more workable. The results shown that compressive, split tensile and flexural strength of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete increase by increasing quantity of steel and nylon 6 fibres. The increase in compressive and tensile strength due to incorporation of steel fibre is greater than that of using nylon fibre. For the nylon 6 fibres, adding more fibres into the concrete has a limited improvement on splitting tensile strength. Inclusion of nylon 6 fibres along with steel fibres results in considerable improvement in flexural strength as compared to solo steel fibre.Key words: Hybrid reinforced concrete, steel, nylon 6, Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, flexural strength Reference [1.] Shetty M.

6. | New Free Electron Wire for Loss Free Utilization of Electrical Energy and Highly Energy Efficient Electrical Appliances
New Free Electron Wire for Loss Free Utilization of Electrical Energy and Highly Energy Efficient Electrical AppliancesAbstract: New Free Electrons Wire will enable the use of electrical energy and also energy in various other forms, in a loss free way, at room temperature. Free Electrons confined in vacuum at the order of 10-4 torr or more, at the core of the wire, can move a distance as long as about, to a few kilometers without any collision. The vacuum is maintained in a tube made up of alternate layers of Teflon and Silicon Oxynitride. The columbic repulsion between these free electrons will actually conduct energy without any loss. The free electrons trapped in vacuum tube, should be at a particular density of around 2.02 x 108 electrons per unit area. A metal encapsulation(s) over the wire is there to keep the electromagnetic field remain confined within the free electron wire, to make it harmless to the health of living creatures. Apart from loss free energy transportation, the free electron wire is also capable of generating very high electromagnetic field due to the free electrons, simply by removing the metal encapsulation(s), which can be used for various purposes. The materials and techniques adopted will make New Free Electron Wire producible commercially, at the cost of general copper wires.Key words: Free Electrons, Electron Density, Teflon, Silicon Oxynitride, Columbic Repulsion, Electromagnetic Field Reference N.P.

8. | Degradation and Microbiological Validation of Meropenem Antibiotic in Aqueous Solution Using UV, UV/H2O2, UV/TiO2 and UV/TiO2/H2O2 Processes.
Degradation and Microbiological Validation of Meropenem Antibiotic in Aqueous Solution Using UV, UV/H2O2, UV/TiO2 and UV/TiO2/H2O2 Processes.Abstract: Aqueous UV, UV/H2O2, UV/TiO2 and UV/TiO2/H2O2 mediateddegradation/oxidation of the carbapenem antibiotic, meropenem (MERO) was experimentally studied. Degussa P-25 titanium dioxide was used as photocatalyst and UV-light source was used for activation of TiO2.The nanosized titanium dioxide was immobilized on the glass support for improving the efficiency and economics of the photocatalytic processes. The immobilized film of titanium dioxide has been characterized, using X-ray diffraction (XRD) andscanning electron microscopy (SEM).The study of antibiotic degradation was conducted in the specific Batch Photocatalytic Reactor. MERO standard solution was used at 500 μg/ml concentration, which degraded up to 99% of antibiotics. Microbiological assay showed that the loss of antibacterial activity is directly proportional to the time of UV-irradiation. The experiment also showed that the UV-irradiation itself causes the degradation of antibiotics, but in very slow manner in comparison to the photocatalysis process. The experimental study showed that UV/TiO2/H2O2 system is effective and efficient for the treatment of antibiotic waste.Key words: Photocatalysis, Meropenem, Antibiotics, TiO2, UV-irradiation Reference [1] E.

Synthetic Flow GenerationAbstract: We are given the historical data of inflow of river observed on Karjan Dam near Vadodara with sampling time interval of a month. We are required to know the inflow of the river in future time using this available historical data. That is to generate inflow of river for future time using the model namely 'Single Site Seasonal Thomas Fiering Model'. Also, we want to find the Statistical Parameters like mean, standard deviation and Correlation coefficient of generated data and compare it with historical data. Once we have the predicted inflow data we may use these prediction of inflow into a storage reservoir for planning the operation of the reservoir to ensure maximum benefit from a limited quantity of stored water.Key words: MATLAB, Thomas Fiering method, etc. Reference [1].

Solar Charged Stand Alone InverterAbstract: This paper deals with solar powered stand alone inverter which converts the variable dc output of a photovoltaic solar panel into ac that can be fed to loads. Stand alone inverters are used in systems where the inverter get its energy from batteries charged by photo voltaic arrays. A charge controller limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries. This charge discharge controller is needed to prevent the battery from being overcharged or discharged thus prolonging its life. The charge/discharge control is necessary in order to achieve safety and increase the capacity of the battery. The project has been tested according its operational purposes. Maximum power rating of the experimented solar charge controller is 100W according battery capacities. Cost effective solar charge controller has been designed and implemented to have efficient system and much longer battery lifetime. The dc output is given to inverter and then it is supplied to loads. This method is very cheap and cost effective.Key words: C/D Controller, MPPT, Photovoltaics, PWM Inverter, Trickle Charging Reference [1] J.P Dunlop, Batteries and charge control in standalone Photo voltaic systems; Fundamentals and Application, Sandia FSEC- CR-1292-2001, 1997.

Finite Element Analysis and Topography Optimization of Lower Arm of Double Wishbone Suspension Using Abacus and OptistructAbstract: The suspension system is one of the most important components of vehicle, which directly affects the safety, performance, noise level and style of it. The vehicle suspension system is responsible for driving comfort and safety as the suspension carries the vehicle-body and transmits all forces between body and road. Structure optimization techniques under static load conditions have been widely used in automotive industry for lightweight and performance improvement of modern cars. However, these static load conditions could not represent all the severe situations of automobile parts which subjected to complex loads varying with time, especially for lower control arm of front suspension. This paper deals with Finite Element Analysis of the Lower arm suspension of double wishbone suspension which consist the stress optimization under static loadings. Lower arm suspension has been modeled using Unigraphics .In first stage of analysis area of maximum stress was identified. These analysis were carried using Altair Hyperworks and solver used is Abacus. In order to reduce stresses and to improve structural strength Topography optimization approach is carried out in Hyperworks in which a design region for a given part is defined and a pattern of shape variable-based reinforcements within that region is generated to increase Stiffness.Key words: FACTS system stability, three phase fault.

Development of Al-TiC Alloys Using Powder Metallurgy as Grain Refiners for Aluminium and Its AlloysAbstract: Al-Ti-C master alloys have been widely investigated for many years as grain refiner for aluminium and its alloys. In this work, the Al-Ti-C master alloys are synthesized using powder metallurgy technique through the mixing of aluminium and TiC powders with different TiC contents 3.75 (3), 5(4), 6.25(5) and 7.5(6) Wt% TiC(Wt% Ti). The mixing powders with different contents of TiC were pressed in cylinder shape. The pressed specimens were sintered from 450 oC in a tube furnace under argon atmosphere for 2 hrs. The produced alloys before and after sintering are examined using SEM, EDX and XRD. The results indicate that, the Al-TiC alloy containing fine TiC particles dispersed in all matrix was successfully prepared. The prepared Al-TiC alloys with different contents of TiC were evaluated using the KBI test mold as grain refiner for pure aluminum and its alloys. The results indicate that the prepared Al-TiC master alloy is high grain refining efficiency for pure aluminum and its alloys.Key words: Grain refining, Al-TiC, Aluminium alloys, Powder metallurgy Reference [1] Y¨ucelBirol, Journal of Alloys and Compounds 422 (2006) 128–131 [2] Journal of Alloys and Compounds 422 (2006) 128–131 [3] W.C.

20. | Optimization and Improvisation of Production Assembly Line of Two Valve Engine of Light Commercial Vehicle
Optimization and Improvisation of Production Assembly Line of Two Valve Engine of Light Commercial VehicleAbstract: In automobile engineering terminology a multi-valve engine is one where each cylinder has more than two valves. A multivalve engine has better breathing and can operate at higher revolutions per minute (rpm) than a two valve engine, delivering more power. Nowadays Eicher Motor is generating only two valve engines. But the need of the hour is to develop more efficient, four valve engines, which provide better fuel efficiency. Eicher Motor has started working on four valve engines because two valve engines apart from delivering inferior fuel efficiency compared to four valve engines also fall short on the front of emission norms compliance. To keep the transition two valve to four valve economical, it was proposed that instead of having an entirely new set up for assembling the four valve engines, two valve engine assembly line be use after required modification. For this change were made to engine assembly common line (Block), and cylinder head assembly line conveyors, location of cylinder head assembly line, manpower, machine and tools etc. of Eicher Motor as per the requirement of four valve and two valve assembly line and also engine assembly process was changed.Key words: Engine assembly line & method, lean production & cost cutting, Machines, Tools, Engine assembly line layout etc. Reference [1] Rahani AR, Muhammad al-Ashraf, Production Flow Analysis through Value Stream Mapping: A Lean Manufacturing Process Case Study, Procedia Engineering 41 ( 2012 ) 1727 – 1734.

Natural Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (NDSSCs) From Opuntia Prickly Pear Dye Using ZnO Doped TiO2 Nanoparticles by Sol-Gel MethodAbstract: Natural dye-sensitized solar cells (NDSSCs) have gained considerable attention in the field of solar energy due to their simple fabrication, good efficiency, and low production cost. Natural dyes are environmentally and economically superior to ruthenium-based dyes because they are nontoxic and cheap. However, the conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells based on natural dyes is low. One way to improve the DSSC performance is to enhance the absorptivity of extracted natural dyes. We investigated the influence of various factors in the extraction process, such as utilization of different extraction approaches, the acidity of extraction solvent, and different compounds of solvents on the optical absorption spectra. It was found that we could considerably enhance the optical absorptivity of dye and consequently the performance of DSSC by choosing a proper mixture of ethanol, methanol and water. In this study, a photo electrode using ZnO doped TiO2 nanoparticles was prepared by sol-gel method. In this paper we investigate the optical absorption, functional group, surface morphology and elementary composition of pure TiO2, ZnO doped TiO2 nanoparticles and opuntia prickly pear dye extract by using UV-Visible, PL-Studies, FT-IR, FE-SEM and EDS analysis. Finally photocurrent-voltaic characterization of nanocrystaline natural dye solar cell using I-V studies. It was found that the levels of short-circuit current (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF) and overall conversion efficiency (η).Key words: ZnO doped TiO2 electrode, sol-gel method and opuntia prickly pear dye.

24. | Implementation of UART with BIST Technique Using Low Power
LFSR
Implementation of UART with BIST Technique Using Low Power LFSRAbstract: Asynchronous serial communication is usually implemented by Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART), mostly used for low expense, low speed, short distance data exchange between processor and peripherals. UART allows full duplex serial communication link, and is used in data communication and control system. There is a need for realizing the UART function in a single or a very few chips. Further, design systems without full testability are open to the increased possibility of product failures and missed market opportunities. Also, it is necessary to ensure the data transfer is error proof. This project targets the introduction of Built-in self test (BIST) and Status register to UART. The basic idea is to reduce the switching activity among the test patterns at the most. In this approach, the single input change patterns generated by a counter and a gray code generator are Exclusive-ORed with the seed generated by the low power linear feedback shift register [LP-LFSR]. The 8-bit UART with status register and BIST module is coded in Verilog HDL and synthesized and simulated using Xilinx XST and ISim version 14.4 and realized on FPGA.Reference [1]. J.

25. | Software Based Traffic Separation at the Access Layer
Software Based Traffic Separation at the Access LayerAbstract: Access Network is the subscriber part of the telecommunications network or the network connecting the subscribers to the Internet Service Providers (ISP) [1]. In many countries including Tanzania access network is still predominantly made up of the copper cable based or other point to point wireless connections. This has kept the network in large proportions passive, inflexible and relatively unreliable [2]. This traditional network has long been tailored to the services generally provided i.e. voice, leased lines, Internet, corporate data and video conference, sometimes each provided by separate equipment and networks. This paper presents the study on approaches used by ISP in Tanzania to separate traffic in the access network. The paper also presents the effective way of traffic separation, whereby multiple hardware used to separate traffic currently has been replaced with single hardware. The traffic separation technique is based on creating logical links (software based) for each traffic type inside single physical link, providing a differentiated QoS support for each type of traffic according to its individual QoS requirements.Key words: Access network, ISP, QoS parameters Reference [1] Steven T.

26. | Implementation of Full-Bridge Single-Stage Converter with Reduced Auxiliary Components
Implementation of Full-Bridge Single-Stage Converter with Reduced Auxiliary ComponentsAbstract: The inclusion of a few additional diodes and passive elements in the high-frequency full-bridge ac–dc converter with galvanic isolation permits one to achieve sinusoidal input-current wave shaping and output-voltage regulation simultaneously without adding any auxiliary transistors. Recently, this procedure, together with an appropriate control process, has been used to obtain low-cost high-efficiency single-stage converters. In an attempt to improve the performance of such converters, this paper introduces three new single-stage full-bridge ac–dc topologies with some optimized characteristics and compares them with the ones of the existing full-bridge single-stage topologies. The approach used consists in the definition of the operating principles identifying the boost function for each topology, their operating limits, and the dependence between the two involved conversion processes. Experimental results for each topology were obtained in 500-W modular voltage disturbances that result from the input-current wave-shaping process.Index Terms: Full-bridge converters, input-current shaping, low-distortion input current, single-stage power-factor correctors.

The Effect of Some Additives on the Rheological Properties of Engine Lubricating OilAbstract: The present work deals with the evaluation of some viscosity index improving additives. Three esters were prepared by esterification of acrylic acid with alcohols having different alkyl chain length. The structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed by Infra Red Spectroscopy. Three polymeric compounds were prepared by free radical polymerization of the different acrylates with vinyl acetate. The molecular weights of the prepared compounds were determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography. The prepared copolymers were evaluated as viscosity index improvers for lube oil and the rheological properties of lube oil were studied.

Influence of Zirconium on the Grain Refinement of Al 6063 alloyAbstract: The influence of zirconium on the grain refinement of Al 6063 alloy has been experimentally investigated. The microstructure and macrostructure of the refined alloy were investigated. The experimental results reveal that, the coarse dendrites in the microstructure of the alloy are effectively refined with the addition of zirconium to the melt prior to solidification. Grains of Al 6063 alloy can be refined from 256 μm to 95 μm via addition of 0.2 wt. % Zr at holding time 90 seconds. The grain refinement effect of zirconium is found to be due to addition of zirconium to the melt in the form of master alloy introduces Al3Zr particles which are effective nucleating sites for the primary aluminium phase.Reference [1] S.K.

Seasonal Dynamic of Mineral Macronutrients in Three Varieties of Clementine (Citrus Reticulate) LeavesAbstract: The nutrient composition in terms of macronutrients of three different varieties (Early season "Orogrande", season "Nules" and late season "Nour") of clementine leaves (Citrus reticulata) was monitored at monthly intervals during three years in order to provide information for the development of nutrition management guidelines more suited to local conditions of southern Morocco. Nutrient concentrations at the sampled leaves for all the three elements, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), changed seasonally for all tested varieties. Seasonal dynamic of those three elements doesn‟t differ significantly between years, particularly during the spring-summer period. Results of statistical analysis show a significant variability between the tested varieties in term of leaf nitrogen and potassium concentrations. However, no significant differences between tested varieties were recorded in term of the leaf phosphorus concentration.Key words: Macronutrients, Leaf concentration, Seasonal dynamic, Citrus Reference [1] MAPM, 2013.

31. | Optimization of Weld Bead Parameters of Nickel Based Overlay Deposited by Plasma Transferred Arc Surfacing with Adequacy Test
Optimization of Weld Bead Parameters of Nickel Based Overlay Deposited by Plasma Transferred Arc Surfacing with Adequacy TestAbstract: Plasma Transferred Arc surfacing is a kind of Plasma Transferred Arc Welding process. Plasma Transferred Arc surfacing (PTA) is increasingly used in applications where enhancement of wear, corrosion and heat resistance of materials surface is required. The shape of weld bead geometry affected by the PTA Welding process parameters is an indication of the quality of the weld. In this paper the analysis and optimization of weld bead parameters, during deposition of a Nickel based alloy Colmonoy on stainless steel plate by plasma transferred arc surfacing, are made and values of process parameters to produce optimal weld bead geometry are estimated. The experiments are conducted based on a five input process parameters and mathematical models are developed using multiple regression technique. The direct effects of input process parameters on weld bead geometry are discussed using graphs. Finally, optimization of the weld bead parameters, that is minimization of penetration and maximization of reinforcement and weld bead width, are made with a view to economize the input process parameters to achieve the desirable welding joint.Key words: Adequacy test, Colmonoy; Optimization; Penetration; PTA welding; Reinforcement; Stainless steel 316L; Reference [1] T.T.Allen, R.W.Richardson, D.P.Tagliable, G.P.

32. | Synthesis and testing of dental ceramic
Synthesis and testing of dental ceramicAbstract: Zirconia has been recently introduced in prosthetic dentistry for the fabrication of crowns and fixed partial dentures, in combination with CAD/CAM techniques. Zirconia stabilized with Y2O3 has the best properties for these applications. This project aims at producing cast Zirconia blocks primarily for dental application that is more cost effective and biocompatible in comparison to the commercially available zirconia. A simple co-precipitation method was used to produce the zirconia powder; simple, inexpensive and indigenous method of uniaxial compression was employed to cast the zirconia pellet. Further studies have to be carried out to study and improve the densification behaviour, biocompatibility, aesthetics and resistance to masticatory force.Key words: Zirconia, Zirconium Oxy chloride, Slip casting, compaction pressing, sinterin.g Reference [1] Isabelle Denrya, J.
