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

3. | Performance Characteristics and Analysis of 4-Stroke Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Blend With 50% of Honne Oil at Various Fuel Injection Pressures
Performance Characteristics and Analysis of 4-Stroke Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Blend With 50% of Honne Oil at Various Fuel Injection PressuresAbstract: In future demand for fossil fuels and environmental effects, a number of renewable sources of energy have been studied in worldwide. An attempt is made to apt of vegetable oil for diesel engine operation, without any change in its old construction. One of the important factors which influence the performance and emission characteristics of D.I diesel engine is fuel injection pressure. In this project honne oil has to be investigated in a constant speed, on D.I diesel engine with different fuel injection pressures. The scope of the project is to investigate the effect of injection pressures on a blend of 50% honne oil with 50% diesel and compare with pure diesel on performance and emission characteristics of the diesel engine. Two tested fuels were used during experiments like 100 % diesel and a blend of 50% honne oil mixing in the diesel. The performance tests were conducted at constant speed with variable loads. From experiment results it was found that with honne oil- diesel blend the performance of the engine is better compared with diesel. The break thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiencies were found to be maximum at 200 bar injection pressure with both honne oil- diesel blend, compared with 180 bar and 220 bar. The brake specific fuel consumption was to be minimum at 220bar compared with 180 bar and 200 bar. Hydro carbon emissions of honne oil-diesel operation were less than the diesel fuel mode at all fuel injection pressures.Reference [1] Altin R. Cetinkaya S. and Yucesu H.S., 2001.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. | Analysis of Isotropic Perforated Stiffened Plate Using FEM
Analysis of Isotropic Perforated Stiffened Plate Using FEMAbstract: In this paper, studied the structural instability caused by circular and square perforated plate having all round simply supported and clamped plate boundary conditions subjected to inplane uniaxial compression loading and also the strengthening effect of the stiffeners when they are reinforced to the unperforated and perforated plate in longitudinal and transverse directions. The area ratios, aspect ratios and types of stiffeners are the parameters considered. A general purpose finite element analysis software ANSYS is used to carry out the study. Results show that the presence of a central circular and square perforations causes reduction in buckling strength of plate and stiffeners can be used to compensate this reduction before it can be used to its best advantage. It is also observed that the plate strengthening effect of longitudinal stiffener is more than that of transverse stiffener for both unperforated and perforated plate. An economical design is possible by introducing stiffeners of optimum size.Key words: Buckling load factor, Cutout, Finite element method, Inplane loads, Stiffeners. Reference [1] Stephen P.

2. | Achieving Reduced Area and Power with Multi Bit Flip-Flop When Implemented In UART with Status Register
Achieving Reduced Area and Power with Multi Bit Flip-Flop When Implemented In UART with Status RegisterAbstract: A UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter) is a device allowing the reception and transmission of information, in a serial and asynchronous way. This project focuses on the implementation of UART with status register using multi bit flip-flop and comparing it with UART with status register using single bit flip-flops. During the reception of data, status register indicates parity error, framing error, overrun error and break error. The multi bit flip-flop is indicated in this status register. In modern very large scale integrated circuits, Power reduction and area reduction has become a vital design goal for sophisticated design applications. So in this project the power consumed and area occupied by both multi-bit flip-flop and single bit flip is compared. The underlying idea behind multi-bit flip-flop method is to eliminate total inverter number by sharing the inverters in the flip-flops. Based on the elimination feature of redundant inverters in merging single bit flip-flops into multi bit flip-flops, gives reduction of wired length and this result in reduction of power consumption and area.Key words: Clock buffer, Clock network, Multi bit flip-flop, status Register, Single bit flip-flop.

Performance Evaluation of Different Thresholding Method for De-Noising of Vibration Signal Using Discrete Wavelet TransformAbstract: De-noising of the raw vibration signal is essential requirement to improve the accuracy and efficiency of any fault diagnosis of method. In many cases the noise signal is even stronger than the actual signal, so it is important to have such system in which noise elimination can be done effectively, there are many time domain and frequency domain methods are already available, where use of wavelet as time-frequency domain method in the field of de-noising the vibration signal is relatively new, it gives multi resolution analysis in both is time-frequency domain. In this paper various conventional thresholding methods based on discrete wavelet transform are compared with adaptive thresholding method and Penalized thresholding method for the de-noising of vibration signal of rotating machine. Signal to noise ratio (SNR), root mean square error (RMSE) in between de-noised signal with original signal are used as an indicator for selecting the effective thesholding method.Key words: De-noising, DWT, SNR, RMSE Reference [1] Pratyesh Jaiswal at.al.

5. | The Cryptographic Schemes for Secret Images
The Cryptographic Schemes for Secret ImagesAbstract: Visual cryptography is one of the techniques used to encrypt the images by dividing the original image into transparencies [1]. The transparencies can be sent to the intended person, and at the other end the transparencies received person can decrypt the transparencies using our tool, thus gets the original image. Our proposed Visual cryptography provides the demonstration to the users to show how encryption and decryption can be done to the images. In this technology, the end user identifies an image, which is not the correct image. That is, while transmitting the image the sender will encrypt the image using our application here sender gets the two or more transparencies of the same image. Our application provides an option to the end user of encryption. The end user can divide the original image into number of different images. Using our application we can send encrypted images that are in the format of GIF and PNG. The encrypted transparencies can be saved in the machine and can be sent to the intended person by other means [source].Key words: Visual cryptography, transparencies, visual cryptographic schemes. ,etc Reference [1] Shamir, "How to share a secret," Commun.

Stochastic Model to Find the Gallbladder Motility in Acromegaly Using Exponential DistributionAbstract: The purpose of the study was octreotide therapy in acromegaly is associated with an increased prevalence of gall stones, which may be the result of inhibition of gall bladder motility. Gall stone prevalence in untreated acromegalic patients relative to the general population is unknown, however and the presence of gall stones and gall bladder motility in these patients and in acromegalic patients receiving octreotide was therefore examined. Gall bladder emptying in untreated acromegalic subjects is impaired. Octreotide further increases post prandial residual gall bladder volume and this may be a factor in the increased gall stone prevalence seen in these patients. The results of octreotide therapy in acromegalic and the normal controls were compared using the marginal distribution of a stretched Brownian motion B(ta)Reference [1] Catnach S M, Anderson J V, Fairclough P D and Trembath R C, "Effect of Octreotide on Gall Stone prevalence and Gall Bladder motility in Acromegaly", Gut 1993, 34: 270-273.

7. | Feature Selection Method For Single Target Tracking Based On Object Interaction Models
Feature Selection Method For Single Target Tracking Based On Object Interaction ModelsAbstract: For single-target tracking problem Kernel-based method has been proved to be effective. A tracker which takes advantage of contextual information to incorporate general constraints on the shape and motion of objects will usually perform better when compare to the one that does not exploit this information. This is due to the reason that a tracker designed to give the best average performance in a variety of scenarios can be less accurate for a particular scene than a tracker that is attuned (by exploiting context) to the characteristics of that scene. The use of a particular feature set for tracking will also greatly affect the performance. Generally, the features that best discriminate between multiple objects and, between the object and background are also best for tracking the object.Key words: Kernel, tracker, feature, tracking, object Reference [1] AlperYilmaz, Kernel-based object tracking using asymmetric kernels with adaptive scale and orientation selection, Machine Vision and Applications (2011) 22:255–268, DOI 10.1007/s00138-009-0237-4.

8. | RELIABILITY BASED DESIGN OF A GEAR BOX
RELIABILITY BASED DESIGN OF A GEAR BOXAbstract: Reliability is the probability that a system, component or device will perform without failure for a specified period of time under specified operating conditions. The concept of reliability is of great importance in the design of various machine members. Conventional engineering design uses a deterministic approach. It disregards the fact that the material properties, the dimensions of the components and the externally applied loads are statistical in nature. In conventional design this uncertainties are covered with a factor of safety, which is not always successful. The growing trend towards reducing uncertainty and increasing reliability is to use the probabilistic approach. In the present work a three shaft four speed gear box and six speed gear box are designed using reliability principles. For the specified reliability of the system (Gear box), component reliability (Gear pair) is calculated by considering the system as a series system. Design is considered to be safe and adequate if the probability of failure of gear box is less than or equal to a specified quantity in each of the two failure modes. . All the parameters affecting the design are considered as random variables and all the random variables are assumed to follow normal distribution. A computer program in C++ is developed to calculate the face widths in bending and surface failure modes. The larger one out of the two values is considered. By changing the variations in the design parameters, variations in the face widths are studied.Key words: Reliability Based Design, four speed gear box, six speed gear box, probabilistic approach Reference [1.] E.Balaguruswamy: Reliability engineering, Tata McGraw Hill Publishers, 2002.

10. | Power Gating Based Ground Bounce Noise Reduction
Power Gating Based Ground Bounce Noise ReductionAbstract: As low power circuits are most popular the decrease in supply voltage leads to increase in leakage power with respect to the technology scaling. So for removing this kind of leakages and to provide a better power efficiency many power gating techniques are used. But the leakage due to ground connection to the active part of the circuit is very high rather than all other leakages. As it is mainly due to the back EMF of the ground connection it was called it as ground bounce noise. To reduce this noise different methodologies are designed. In this paper the design of such an efficient technique related to ground bounce noise reduction using power gating circuits and comparing the results using DSCH and Microwind low power tools. In this paper the analysis of adders such as full adders using different types of power gated circuits using low power VLSI design techniques and to present the comparison results between different power gating methods.Key words: power gating, leakage current, stacking, ground bounce noise.

Fighting Accident Using Eye Detection forSmartphonesAbstract: This paper is an attempt to investigate an important problem and approaches of human eye detection, blinking, and tracking. A new system was proposed and implemented using android technology for smartphones. System creatively reduces accidents due to drivers' fatigue by focusing on treating the driver after fatigue has been detected to achieve decrease in accident likelihood. Smartphone's have been the important tools in our society for the abundant functions including communication, entertainment and online office etc. as the pivotal devices of mobile computing. Smartphone development has also become more important than before. Android is one of the emerging leading operating systems for smartphones as an open source system platform. Many smartphones have adopted this platform and more smartphones will do so in the future. The proposed system is well-suited for real world driving conditions since it can be non-intrusive by using video cameras to detect changes. Driver operation and vehicle behavior can be implemented by equipping automobiles with the ability to monitoring the response of the driver. This involves periodically requesting the driver to send a response to the system to indicate alertness. The propose system based on eyes closer count & yawning count of the driver. By monitoring the eyes and face, it is believed that the symptoms of driver fatigue can be detected early enough to avoid a car accident and providing the driver with a warning if the driver takes his or her eye off the road.Key words: Smartphones, Android, Multimedia, Eye Blinking, Eye Detection, Software Development Reference [1] Industry leaders announce open platform for mobile devices, November 2007.

Preparation and Investigation on Properties of Cryogenically Solidified Nano Metal Matrix CompositesAbstract: In the present work, AL-alloy containing 12% silicon (LM 13) matrix nano composites were fabricated in sand moulds by using copper end blocks of copper end chill thickness 10 &15 nm with cryogenic effect . The size of the reinforcement (NanoZro2) ranges from 50-80nm being added ranges from 3 to 15 wt % in steps of 3 wt % . Cryogenically solidified Nano Metal Matrix Composites were compressed by using hydraulic compression machine. Specimens were prepared according to ASTM standards and tested for their strength, hardness and fracture toughness. Micro structural studies of the fabricated Nano Composites indicate that there is uniform distributions of reinforcements in the matrix materials (LM 13). An increasing trend of hardness, UTS & fracture toughness has been observed. The best results have been obtained at 12 wt %. The results were further justified by comparing two copper end chill thickness 10 &15 mm. Finally the Volumetric Heat Capacity of the cryo-chill is identified as an important parameter which affects mechanical properties.Key words: Cryo-chill, Cryogenic effect, Copper end chills, Fracture toughness, Volumetric Heat Capacity.

Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
Catalan Tau Collocation for Numerical Solution of 2-Dimentional Nonlinear Partial Differential EquationsAbstract: Tau method which is an economized polynomial technique for solving ordinary and partial differential equations with smooth solutions is modified in this paper for easy computation, accuracy and speed. The modification is based on the systematic use of "Catalan polynomial‟ in collocation tau method and the linearizing the nonlinear part by the use of Adomian‟s polynomial to approximate the solution of 2-dimentional Nonlinear Partial differential equation. The method involves the direct use of Catalan Polynomial in the solution of linearizedPartial differential Equation without first rewriting them in terms of other known functions as commonly practiced. The linearization process was done through adopting the Adomian Polynomial technique. The results obtained are quite comparable with the standard collocation tau methods for nonlinear partial differential equations.Key words: Tau method, Collocation tau method, partial differential equation, Catalan Polynomial.

18. | Prediction of Fatigue Life of Boom Nose End Casting Using Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics
Prediction of Fatigue Life of Boom Nose End Casting Using Linear Elastic Fracture MechanicsAbstract: The main objective of this study is to get the life estimation of Boom nose end casting using theoretical approach and compaired it with finite element method. Therefore, this study consists of three major sections : (1) dynamic load analysis (2) FEM and stress analysis (3) prediction of fatigue life for Boom nose end casting. In this study a dynamic loads were obtained from cyclic loading at different time. Finite element analysis was performed to obtain the variation of stress magnitude at the crack locations. This loads and boundary condition were applied to the FE model in ANSYS. The analysis was carried out for different crack length on the surface area of circle of Boom Nose End Casting. As a result, fatigue life for different crack length on the Boom Nose End Casting is obtained. The main objective of this study is to investigate the fatigue life of Boom Nose End Casting under complex loading conditions. Due to the repeated bending and tensile loading acting, Boom Nose End Casting fails, as cracks forms in surface area of circle. Hence, fatigue plays an important role in Boom Nose End Casting development. Accurate prediction of fatigue life is very important to insure safety of components and its reliability. The Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics approach is used to predict the fatigue life of Boom Nose End Casting.Key words: Boom Nose End Casting, Dynamic Loading, Fatigue Failure, Finite Element Method.

22. | Comparative Study and Analysis between Helical Coil and Straight Tube Heat Exchanger
Comparative Study and Analysis between Helical Coil and Straight Tube Heat ExchangerAbstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the relative advantage of using a helically coiled heat exchanger against a straight tube heat exchanger. It is found that the heat transfer in helical circular tubes is higher as compared to Straight tube due to their shape. Helical coils offer advantageous over straight tubes due to their compactness and increased heat transfer coefficient. The increased heat transfer coefficients are a consequence of the curvature of the coil, which induces centrifugal forces to act on the moving fluid, resulting in the development of secondary flow. The curvature of the coil governs the centrifugal force while the pitch (or helix angle) influences the torsion to which the fluid is subjected to the centrifugal force results in the development of secondary flow. Due to the curvature effect, the fluid streams in the outer side of the pipe moves faster than the fluid streams in the inner side of the pipe. In current work the fluid to fluid heat exchange is taken into consideration. Most of the investigations on heat transfer coefficients are for constant wall temperature or constant heat flux. The effectiveness, overall heat transfer coefficient, effect of cold water flow rate on effectiveness of heat exchanger when hot water mass flow rate is kept constant and effect of hot water flow rate on effectiveness when cold water flow rate kept constant studied and compared for parallel flow, counter flow arrangement of Helical coil and Straight tube heat exchangers. All readings were taken at steady state condition of heat exchanger. The result shows that the heat transfer coefficient is affected by the geometry of the heat exchanger. Helical coil heat exchanger are superior in all aspect studied here.Key words: Helical coil heat exchanger, Straight tube heat exchanger, overall heat transfer coefficient. Reference [1] Timothy J.

23. | Soa Readiness Assessment, a New Method
Soa Readiness Assessment, a New MethodAbstract: One of the initial steps to implement Service Oriented Architecture is organization's readiness assessment for acceptance and utilization of this architecture. Organization's readiness assessment is a method that taking advantages of it investigated various organization aspects and each part of organization preparation for acceptance of service oriented architecture can be measured. Because the implementation of Service Oriented Architecture is a key and large scale project in organizations and organizations are faced with many problems in SOA adoption process. Taking advantage of organization readiness assessment to assess organization readiness is necessary to implement Service Oriented Architecture. In this paper a review on SOA and its adoption and implementation challenges performed. Some researches and tools for service oriented architecture readiness assessment are introduced. A new method for SOA readiness assessment is proposed. Main approach of this method is facilitating SOA implementation by assessing organization readiness to implement this architecture in order to decrease spending time and resources. Most important features of proposed method are that it is based on standards and principles of readiness assessment to implement Service Oriented Architecture and consist comprehensive view on the identified factors to assess organizational readiness.Key words: service oriented architecture, readiness assessment, SOA governance, SOA adoption, SOA implementation.

2. | Optimum Crop Productivity in Rain Fed Area of Thana Boula Khan, Sindh, by Application of Wind Energy
Optimum Crop Productivity in Rain Fed Area of Thana Boula Khan, Sindh, by Application of Wind EnergyAbstract: The energy and food security are crisis at global level. Various sources for generating energy are under exploitation but except of renewable energy are almost costly. Hence, proper exploration and exploitation renewable energy is cheaper in comparison of fossil fuels source. In this connection, wind energy source mostly is available in the southern region of Sindh province of Pakistan. Renewable energy and agricultural farming are a winning combination. Wind, solar, and biomass energy can be harvested forever, providing farmers with a long-term source of income. The net farm returns can significantly be enhanced if available stronger winds are effectively utilized as an alternative energy resource. The project has successfully been introduced by locally manufactured windmill driven pumping units. The wind speed probability analysis based upon limited data availability indicated that during almost 92% of operational time, a wind speed of 2.5 m/s (9 km/hr) or more was available in project area. The operational analysis of windmill during 2007 indicated average 9.38 liter/min discharge was extracted, with role of 95.5 m3 of water was pumped in Kharif season, which is sufficient to irrigate 0.096 hectare of land through surface irrigation method by maintaining 10 cm depth of applied water. However, modern and efficient irrigation methods like drip and sprinkler be employed alongside windmill introduction for getting optimum agricultural productivity.Key words: Crop productivity, Renewable energy, Windmill, T.

3. | Mitigation of Power Quality Issues by Nine Switches UPQC Using PI & ANN with Hysteresis Control
Mitigation of Power Quality Issues by Nine Switches UPQC Using PI & ANN with Hysteresis ControlAbstract: A nine-switch power converter having two sets of output terminals was recently proposed in place of the traditional back-to-back power converter that uses 12 switches in total. The nine-switch converter has already been proven to have certain advantages, in addition to its component saving topological feature. Despite these advantages, the nine-switch converter has so far found limited applications due to its many perceived performance tradeoffs like requiring an oversized dc-link capacitor, limited amplitude sharing, and constrained phase shift between its two sets of output terminals. Instead of accepting these tradeoffs as limitations, a nine-switch power conditioner is proposed here that virtually ―converts‖ most of these topological short comings into interesting performance advantages. Aiming further to reduce its switching losses, Harmonics, Voltage Sag & Swell an appropriate discontinuous modulation scheme is proposed and studied here in detail to doubly ensure that maximal reduction of commutations is achieved. With an appropriately designed control scheme with PI and ANN with Hysteresis controller then incorporated, the nine-switch converter is shown to favorably raise the overall power quality in Simulation, hence justifying its role as a power conditioner at a reduced cost.Index Terms: Discontinuous pulse-width modulation, nine switch converter, power conditioner, power quality.

4. | Modeling of RF Power Amplifier with Memory Effects using Memory Polynomial
Modeling of RF Power Amplifier with Memory Effects using Memory PolynomialAbstract: Power Amplifier is one of the most important component in a communication system. It is inherently non-linear and having memory effects. But current communication systems require highly linear response as nonlinearities contribute to gain compression and produce harmonic distortion. But for linearization of power amplifier, it is necessary to model PA's memory behavior accurately. So in this paper, a memory polynomial based power amplifier model is presented which takes into account its memory effects for wideband applications. This paper also presents a comparison of proposed model with actual RF power amplifier in terms of power spectral density and AM/AM characteristics. Simulation results shows its efficiency and accuracy.Key words: AM/AM characteristics, MATLAB, Memory Effects, Memory polynomial, Power Amplifier (PA).

A Tool to Search and Convert Reduplicate Words from Hindi to PunjabiIntroduction: Language, the best means of communication, is not a static one. It changes from time to time. The causes for these changes may be borrowing, language contact and interference and convergence from other languages. Due to these processes many structural features may come from one language into another Language. These exchanges reflect in the phonological, morphological and lexical levels. While working with the various kind of languages there are some circumstances when there is reduplication of words that is repetition of all or the part of the word. Reduplication, the doubling or partial doubling of syllables and words, is very frequent in Hindi-Urdu. It may apply to full words of any kind: nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs (but not auxiliary verbs), even pronouns:Reference [1] M.D SohelRana (P hd)nov 2010, "reduplication in bengali language"; Volume 10:11 ;pp 1930-2940.

7. | Design and Analysis of New Modified Feedthrough Logic (MFTL) Circuits Using Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET)
Design and Analysis of New Modified Feedthrough Logic (MFTL) Circuits Using Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET)Abstract: It is a challenging task for a VLSI design engineer to develop low power VLSI circuits, without sacrificing its performance. Feedthrough Logic (FTL) is a new technology which could be considered better than the existing technologies for improving circuit efficiency. Modified Feedthrough Logic (MFTL), offers a better power factor than the FTL logic structures, and also shows an improvement in the speed factor. But the scenario again changes when the design extends to nano scales of device dimension, where many factors which were neglected otherwise need to be given more importance. To avoid or minimize problems like hot carrier effects, electro migration, drain induced barrier lowering and other issues that becomes prominent in nano scale MOSFET‟s, Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) is considered to be a promising candidate in future integrated circuits. Hence this work extends the advantages of MFTL logic into nano level by incorporating CNTFETs in place of MOSFETs. The modifications have been implemented using CNTFETs of 16nm technology from HSPICE library on a 10 chain inverter stage, an 8 bit RCA and a Vedic multiplier and performance factors like PDP and ADP are compared to that of the conventional MOSFET circuits.Key words: CNT, Domino logic, FTL, MFTL Reference [1] Sneha Meryn Thomas, Rakesh S "Performance Analysis of new low power Modified Feedthrough Logic (MFTL) structure" in Proc.

9. | OFDM PAPR Reduction Using Hybrid Partial Transmit Sequences Based On Cuckoo Search Algorithm
OFDM PAPR Reduction Using Hybrid Partial Transmit Sequences Based On Cuckoo Search AlgorithmAbstract: The past decade has seen many radical changes and achievements in the field of wireless communication. Applications of wireless communication have grown swiftly in the recent past. This rigorous growth leads to more throughput over wireless channels along with increased reliability. But still the bandwidth demands are endless and increasing day by day. Today we need to constantly work towards achieving reliable wireless communication with high spectral efficiency, low complexity and good error performance results. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is a promising technique in this regard as it offers high data rate and reliable communications over various fading channels. But the main drawback of OFDM is the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper we present the technique to reduce the PAPR using Cuckoo Search Algorithm in multicarrier modulation system. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme considerably outperforms the conventional system.Reference [1] S. H. Han and J. H.

10. | Comparative Analysis of Lossless Image Compression Based On Row By Row Classifier and Various Encoding Schemes on Color Images
Comparative Analysis of Lossless Image Compression Based On Row By Row Classifier and Various Encoding Schemes on Color ImagesAbstract: Lossless image compression is needed in many fields like medical imaging, telemetry, geophysics, remote sensing and other applications, which require exact replica of original image and loss of information is not tolerable. In this paper, a near lossless image compression algorithm based on row by row classifier with encoding schemes like Lempel Ziv Welch (LZW), Huffman and Run Length Encoding (RLE) on color images is proposed. The algorithm divides the image into three parts R, G and B, apply row by row classification on each part and result of this classification is records in the mask image. After classification the image data is decomposed into two sequences each for R, G and B and mask image is hidden in them. These sequences are encoded using different encoding schemes like LZW, Huffman and RLE. An exhaustive comparative analysis is performed to evaluate these techniques, which reveals that the proposed algorithm have smaller bits per pixel (bpp) than simple LZW, Huffman and RLE encoding techniques.Reference [1] X.

11. | Utilization of Industrial Waste Material in GSB Layer
Utilization of Industrial Waste Material in GSB LayerAbstract: India has series of steel plant clusters located along its length and breadth of the territory. Several million metric tons of iron and steel are produced in these plants annually. Along with the production of iron and steel, huge quantities of solid wastes like blast furnace slag and steel slag as well as other wastes such as flue dust, blast furnace sludge, and refractories are also being produced in these plants. These solid wastes can be used as non-traditional/non-conventional aggregates in pavement construction due to acute scarcity of traditional/conventional road construction materials. A study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) with various blended mixes of traditional/conventional aggregates in subbase layer with different percentages. This study also presents the result of experimental investigation on the influence of Rice husk ash (RHA) on the index properties of Red soil which is used as filler material in subbase layer.Key words: California bearing ratio (CBR), Granular Subbase (GSB), granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), Rice husk ash (RHA).

CFD Analysis of Plate Fin Tube Heat Exchanger for Various Fin InclinationsAbstract: ANSYS Fluent software is used for three dimensional CFD simulations to investigate heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of six different fin angles with plain fin tube heat exchangers. The numerical simulation of the fin tube heat exchanger was performed by using a three dimensional numerical computation technique. Geometry of model is created and meshed by using ANSYS Workbench software. To solve the equation for the fluid flow and heat transfer analysis ANSYS FLUENT was used in the fin-tube heat exchanger. The fluid flow and heat transfer are simulated and result compared for both laminar and turbulent flow models k-epsilon and SST k-omega, with steady state solvers to calculate heat transfer, flow velocity and temperature fields of variable inclined fin angles (Ɵ = 00,100 , 200, 300, 400,500). Model is validate by comparing the simulated value of velocity, temperature and colburn factor with experimental and numerical results investigated by WANG [1] and GHORI KIRAR [10]. Reasonable agreement is found between the simulations and other results, and the ANSYS Fluent software is sufficient for simulating the flow fields in tube fin heat exchanger.Key words: Plate fin Heat Exchanger, Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD), ANSYS Work Bench, FLUENT.

20. | A Review: Compensation of Mismatches in Time Interleaved Analog to Digital Converters
A Review: Compensation of Mismatches in Time Interleaved Analog to Digital ConvertersAbstract: The execution of today's correspondence frameworks is exceedingly subject to the utilized Analog-to-Digital converters (ADCs), and with a specific end goal to give more flexibility and exactness to the developing correspondence innovations, superior-ADCs are needed. In this respect, the time-interleaved operation of an exhibit of ADCs (TI-ADC) might be a sensible result. A TI-ADC can build its throughput by utilizing M channel ADCs or sub converters in parallel and examining the data motion in a period-interleaved way. In any case, the execution of a TI-ADC gravely suffers from the bungles around the channel ADCs. In this paper we survey the advancement in the configuration of low-intricacy advanced remedy structures and calculations for time-interleaved ADCs in the course of the most recent five years. We devise a discrete-time model, state the outline issue, and finally infer the calculations and structures. Specifically, we examine proficient calculations to outline time-differing remedy filters and additionally iterative structures using polynomial based filters. Thusly, the remuneration structure may be utilized to repay time-differing recurrence reaction befuddles in time-interleaved ADCs, and in addition to remake uniform examples from nonuniformly tested indicators. We examine the recompense structure, research its execution, and exhibit requisition zones of the structure through various illustrations. At long last, we give a standpoint to future examination questions.Index Terms: Analog-to-digital converter, compensation, frequency response mismatches, reconstruction, time-inter- leaved, time-varying filter.

21. | Performance Analysis of a Shell Tube Condenser for a Model Organic Rankine Cycle for Use in Geothermal Power Plant
Performance Analysis of a Shell Tube Condenser for a Model Organic Rankine Cycle for Use in Geothermal Power PlantAbstract: The global energy demand increases with the economic growth and population rise. Most electrical power is currently generated by conventional methods from fossil fuels. Despite the high energy demand, the conventional energy resources such as fossil fuels have been declining. In addition to this harmful combustion byproducts are resulting global warming. However, the increase of environmental concerns and energy crisis can be minimized by sustainable utilization of the low to medium temperature heat resources. The Organic Rankine Cycle power plant is a very effective option for utilization of low grade heat sources for power generation. Heat exchangers are the main components of the Organic Rankine Cycle power plant which receives heat energy from the heat source to evaporate and condense the low boiling temperature organic working fluid which in turn drives the turbine to generate power. This paper presents a simplified approach to the design, fabrication and performance assessment of a shell tube heat exchanger designed for condenser in a model Organic Rankine Cycle geothermal power plant. The design involved sizing of heat exchanger (condenser) using the LMTD method based on an expected heat transfer rate. The heat exchanger of the model power plant was tested in which hot water simulated geothermal brine. The results of the experiment indicated that the heat exchanger is thermally suitable for the condenser of the model power plant.Key words: Shell tube heat Exchanger, Heat transfer Co-efficient, LMTD Reference [1] A.

22. | Experimental Study on Performance of Concrete M30 with Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Sea Shells and Coconut Shells
Experimental Study on Performance of Concrete M30 with Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Sea Shells and Coconut ShellsAbstract: In this research work experiments have been conducted with collection of materials required and the data required for mix design are obtained by sieve analysis and specific gravity test. Sieve analysis is carried out from various fine aggregates (FA) and coarse aggregates (CA) samples and the sample which suits the requirement is selected. Specific gravity tests are carried out for fine and coarse aggregate. The various materials used were tested as per Indian standard specifications. On the basis of the experimental studies carried out on M30 grade concrete as partial replacement of coarse aggregates with sea shells and coconut shells, the following conclusions are drawn from the above experiment we conclude that comparing to traditional concrete, compressive strength of 10% (5% + 5%) of coconut shells (5%) and sea shells (5%) increased. whereas the compressive strength of the concrete cubes has gradually decreased from addition of 10% (5% + 5%) of coconut shells and sea shells. Hence for economical view 10% is preferable and in the perspective of compressive strength 10% is suggested. Thus, 10% replacement coconut shells and sea shells are recommended for both heavy weight and light weight concrete production.Key words: aggregate, coconut shells (c s), compressive strength, sea shells (s s), Reference [1] Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Coconut Shell as Coarse Aggregates" M.

23. | A Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming Model for Cash Flow Management
A Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming Model for Cash Flow ManagementAbstract: Although significant research work has been conducted on cash flow forecast, planning, and management, the objective is constantly the maximization of profit/final cash balance, or minimization of total project cost. This paper presents a multi-objective fuzzy linear programming model (FLP) for resolving the optimization problem of three conflicting objectives: final cash balance, cost of money, and initial cash balance. The proposed model depends on Jiang et al. (2011) Model. In the new formulation, both the advanced payment and delay of owner's progress payment one period were considered. Literature concerned with cash flow studies and models for construction projects was reviewed. Fuzzy linear programming applications in literature was presented and it's concept was then described. Jiang et al. (2011) Model is presented. The proposed model development was then presented. The proposed model was validated using an example project. An optimization of each individual objective was performed with a linear programming (LP) software (Lindo) that gave the upper and lower bounds for the multi-objective analysis. Fuzzy linear programming was then applied to optimize the solution. Four cases are considered: considering advanced payment and delay of owner's progress payment one period simultaneously, then separately, and neglecting advanced payment and delay of owner's progress payment. Penalty of delayed payment have been also considered. Analysis of the results revealed that the model is an effective decision making tool to be used by industry practitioners with reasonable accuracy.Key words: fuzzy linear programming; final cash balance; cost of money; initial cash balance; advanced payment; delay of payment.

25. | OPERATION & CONTROL OF SMART GRID CONNECTED PV- FC HYBRID POWER SYSTEMD
OPERATION & CONTROL OF SMART GRID CONNECTED PV- FC HYBRID POWER SYSTEMDAbstract: This paper presents a method to operate and control a grid connected hybrid power system. The hybrid system composed of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered. The PV array normally uses a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest power to the load when variations in irradiation and temperature occur, which make it become an uncontrollable source. In coordination with PEMFC, the hybrid system output power becomes controllable. Two operation modes, the unit-power control (UPC) mode and the feeder-flow control (FFC) mode, can be applied to the hybrid system. The coordination of two control modes, the coordination of the PV array and the PEMFC in the hybrid system, and the determination of reference parameters are presented. The proposed operating strategy with a flexible operation mode change always operates the PV array at maximum output power and the PEMFC in its high efficiency performance band, thus improving the performance of system operation, enhancing system stability, and decreasing the number of operating mode changesIndex Terms: Distributed generation, fuel cell, hybrid system, micro grid, photovoltaic, power management.

AODV Improvement by Modification at Source Node and Securing It from Black Hole Attack.Abstract: MANETS suffer from constraints in power, storage and computational resources ,as a result, they are more vulnerable to various communications security related attacks. therefore we attempt to focus on analyzing and improving the security of routing protocol for MANETS viz. the Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV)routing protocol. We propose modifications to the AODV we propose an algorithm to counter the Black hole attack on the routing protocols in MANETs. All the routes has unique sequence number and the malicious node has the highest Destination Sequence number and it is the first RREP to arrive. So the comparison is made only to the first entry in the table without checking other entries in the tableKey words: AODV, Black hole, receive reply, sequence number, routing table Reference [1] International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 2, Issue 8, ISSN 2250-3153, August 2012 .

29. | Design and Implementation of Digital PLL using Self Correcting DCO System
Design and Implementation of Digital PLL using Self Correcting DCO SystemAbstract: The mainstay of the paper is to use a PLL using self healing pre-scalar. When a CMOS technology approaches to a nanometer scale, the non-idealities like variability and leakage current may affect the circuit performances. The process variability leads to the large variations to degrade the device matching and performances. The leakage current is highly dependent upon the process variations. In the existing method the key parameter is to be change the modulus value of the pre- scalar. By changing the value of the pre-scalar the PLL frequency range will be extended. In the proposed design we are planning to implement the digital PLL technique with self correcting DCO. The structure utilizes the DDR synthesizer as a base for generating the DCO frequency, so many methods are there to correct the DCO errors , here we detect the error or delay and correct it by using smooth jumping method. The DPLL varies from minimum system clock frequency 60 to 1489 MHZ (Minimum) maximum of GHZ frequency of any range we can generate, since our design act as a general platform for any kind of application.Key words: DCO, Delay Detector, Frequency Divider, Self Healing, Signal Shaping Circuit.

2. | Power System'stransmission Line Relaying Improvement Using Discrete Wavelet Transform
Power System'stransmission Line Relaying Improvement Using Discrete Wavelet TransformAbstract: Transmission line is a path between the generating station and load(Industries & Domestic). These lines are several kilometres and always attracted towards faults. These Faults are Phase to Ground (P-G), Phase to Phase (P-P), Phase to Phase to Ground (P-P-G) and Symmetrical Fault (P-P-P\P-P-P-G).In order to protect the power system, faults should be cleared within stipulated time. Relay plays a key role in power system protection, before employing them in system, their parameters should be pre-determined.The proposed system uses Discrete Wavelet Transform to determine the fault levels in power system. It is used to extract the hidden factors i.e. Transients, from the faulty current signals by performing decomposition at different levels. Test system is modelled and fault signals are imported to workspace and test the reliability of the algorithm. The proposed system modelled in MATLAB\SIMULINK to detect, classify and locate all the possible faults in the transmission line in the power system which are nothing but parameters of relays.Key words: Discrete Wavelet Transform, Faults, Relay Parameters, Transients, Transmission Line.

3. | Impact of Air Quality on Human Health In The Vicinity of Construction Sites in Delhi-NCR
Impact of Air Quality on Human Health In The Vicinity of Construction Sites in Delhi-NCRAbstract: Construction sites are important source of air pollution emitting pollutants like PM10, etc. which adversely affect human health especially the respiratory system. The present study aims at monitoring of PM10, health condition of workers, evaluation of API (Air Pollution Index) and development of correlation between API and human health in the vicinity of construction sites. In the present study relevant literature review has also been carried out to study and analyze the impact of air pollution on human health. Reconnaissance survey of 19 selected construction sites in Delhi-NCR has been conducted for the period January 2013 to December 2013 and health related data of people in the vicinity of construction sites has been collected individually through a questionnaire. The air quality data (for pollutant PM10) for the area in which the selected construction sites lie has been obtained from the continuous monitoring stations of Central Pollution Control Board. The monthly average PM10 concentration in the ambient air for the study period has been obtained for all the sites. The annual average PM10 level of all the sites has been estimated and compared with the prescribed value. Also the air pollution index (API) (for pollutant PM10) has been calculated for each site and compared with the percentage of people suffering with respiratory problems at the respective sites. The results show that the construction sites where the value of API for PM10 is higher there the percentage of people suffering with respiratory diseases has also been higher.Key words: Air Quality, Air Pollution Index (API), Construction Sites, Human Health, Particulate Matter.

Selection of Best Supplier in Furniture Manufacturing Company by Using Analytic Hierarchy ProcessAbstract: The selection of supplier is one of the most critical decisions in the design and development of a successful production environment. In this study, a user friendly decision support system is proposed for supplier selection. This system guides the decision maker in selecting proper supplier via effective algorithms, such as the Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) Cost analysis helps the user evaluate the results based on economical considerations. Selection of supplier is a time consuming process which needs extensive data exploitation. The process of supplier selection is a multi- criteria decision-making problem with conflicting and diverse objectives. In this work a systematic methodology is presented under the consideration of multiple factors and objectives that are witnessed to be crucial to the construction process. The model includes building an analytic hierarchy structure with a tree of hierarchical criteria and alternatives to ease the decision-making.Key words: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP); Multi criteria Decision Making (MCDM); Selection of Best Supplier Reference [1] T.

An Overview on Authentication Approaches and Their Usability in Conjunction with Internet and Mobile ApplicationsAbstract: The usage of sensitive online services and applications such as online banking, e-commerce etc is increasing day by day. These technologies have tremendously improved making our daily life easier. However, these developments have been accompanied by E-piracy where attackers try to get access to services illegally. As sensitive information flow through Internet, they need support for security properties such as authentication, authorization, data confidentiality. Perhaps static password (User ID & password) is the most common and widely accepted authentication method. Online applications need strong password such as a combination of alphanumeric with special characters. In general, having one password for a single service may be easy to remember, but controlling many passwords for different services poses a tedious task on users online applications . Usually users try to use same password for different services or make slight changes in the password which can be easy for attacker to guess adding increased security threat. In order to overcome this, stronger authentication solutions need to be suggested and adapted for services based network.Key words: Authentication, Authorization, Access control, Single and Multiple factor authentication, Authentication usability, One Time Password Reference [1] M.

Size and Time Estimation in Goal Graph Using Use Case Points (UCP): A SurveyAbstract: In order to achieve ideal status and meet demands of stakeholders, each organization should follow their vision and long term plan. Goals and strategies are two fundamental basis in vision and mission. Goals identify framework of organization where processes, rules and resources are designed. Goals are modelled based on a graph structure by means of extraction, classification and determining requirements and their relations and in form of graph. Goal graph shows goals which should be satisfied in order to guarantee right route of organization. On the other hand, these goals can be called as predefined sub projects which business management unit should consider and analyse them. If we know approximate size and time of each part, we will design better management plans resulting in more prosperity and less fail. This paper studies how use case points method is used in calculating size and time in goal graph.Key words: Use Case, Size Estimation, Time Estimation, Goal Graph, Use Case Points Reference [1] E.

Design of Low Pass Digital FIR Filter Using Cuckoo Search AlgorithmAbstract: This paper presents a novel approach of designing linear phase FIR low pass filter using cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA). FIR filter design is a multi-modal optimization problem. The conventional optimization techniques are not efficient for digital filter design. An iterative method is introduced to find the best solution of FIR filter design problem.Flat passband and high stopband attenuation are the major characteristics required in FIR filter design.

13. | Early Detection of Lung Cancer Using Neural Network Techniques
Early Detection of Lung Cancer Using Neural Network TechniquesAbstract: Effective identification of lung cancer at an initial stage is an important and crucial aspect of image processing. Several data mining methods have been used to detect lung cancer at early stage. In this paper, an approach has been presented which will diagnose lung cancer at an initial stage using CT scan images which are in Dicom (DCM) format. One of the key challenges is to remove white Gaussian noise from the CT scan image, which is done using non local mean filter and to segment the lung Otsu's thresholding is used. The textural and structural features are extracted from the processed image to form feature vector. In this paper, three classifiers namely SVM, ANN, and k-NN are applied for the detection of lung cancer to find the severity of disease (stage I or stage II) and comparison is made with ANN, and k-NN classifier with respect to different quality attributes such as accuracy, sensitivity(recall), precision and specificity. It has been found from results that SVM achieves higher accuracy of 95.12% while ANN achieves 92.68% accuracy on the given data set and k-NN shows least accuracy of 85.37%. SVM algorithm which achieves 95.12% accuracy helps patients to take remedial action on time and reduces mortality rate from this deadly disease.Key words: Dicom, SVM, ANN, k-NN, Accuracy, Sensitivity, Precision and Specificity.

14. | Data Hiding In Medical Images by Preserving Integrity of ROI Using Semi-Reversible Watermarking Technique
Data Hiding In Medical Images by Preserving Integrity of ROI Using Semi-Reversible Watermarking TechniqueAbstract: Text fusion in images is an important technology for image processing. We have lots of important information related to the patient's reports and need lots of space to store and the proper position and name which relates that image with that data. In our work we are going to find out the ROI (region of interest) for the particular image and will fuse the related document in the NROI (non-region of interest) of the image, till yet we have many techniques to fuse text data in the medical images one of form them is to fuse data at the boarders of the images and build the particular and pre-defined boarder space. We have propose an algorithm in which we first find out the area of interest and after that we find noisy pixels of the image to embed data in that noisy portions of the image. We use wavelets for smoothing images and segmentation process for extracting region of interest. Coordinates of the noisy pixels have been located and data has been embedded in those pixels .The used embedding technique embed data in least significant bits, hence does not degrade the quality of the image to unacceptable limits. Results show that it gives good PSNR and MSE values which are used for measuring quality effected performance.Key words: Data embedding, Data extraction, US/MRI images.

1. | Study Of Characteristics Strength of Concrete with Admixtures by Flexural and Disc Bending Test
Study Of Characteristics Strength of Concrete with Admixtures by Flexural and Disc Bending TestAbstract: Concrete is widely used in structural engineering with its high compressive strength, low cost and abandoned raw material, but common concrete has some deficiency, such as shrinkage and cracking, low tensile strength and flexural strength, high brittleness, that restrict its applications. To overcome these deficiencies' additional materials are added to improve the performance of the concrete. Super plasticizer is a chemical added to conventional concrete mix that makes the concrete more workable and it can be placed easily. The aim of this project work to study the characteristics strengths of concrete such as compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, diametric strength and tensile strength by disc bending test. For the experimental work normal concrete M 40 has to be prepared and characteristics strength such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength have to be achieved. This strength has to be performed after 7 days and 28 days curing. After that in addition of super plasticizer the study of the strength have to be performed with various % of plasticizer such as 0.60% to 1.2 % by the weight of cement and study of strength of concrete have to be performed at 7 days and 28 days. A relative comparison of the strength of the concrete with addition of admixtures with normal concrete can be study.Key words: compressive strength, flexural strength, disc bending test, M 40, Super plasticizer.

3. | A Mathematical Model for the Genetic Variation of Prolactin and Prolactin Receptor in Relationship with Serum Prolactin Concentrations and Breast Cancer Risk
A Mathematical Model for the Genetic Variation of Prolactin and Prolactin Receptor in Relationship with Serum Prolactin Concentrations and Breast Cancer RiskAbstract: The Weibull distribution is a widely used model for studying fatigue and endurance life in engineering devices and materials. Recent advances in Weibull theory have also created numerous specialized Weibull applications. Modern computing technology has made many of these techniques accessible across the engineering spectrum. Despite its popularity, and wide applicability the traditional 2 – parameter and 3- parameter Weibull distribution is unable to capture all the lifetime phenomenon for instance the data set which has a non – monotonic failure rate function. Recently several generalization of Weibull distribution has been studied. An approach to the construction of flexible parametric model is to embed appropriate competing models into a larger model by adding shape parameter. Some recent generalizations of Weibull distribution including the Exponentiated Weibull, Extended Weibull, Modified Weibull are discussed and references [5] therein, along with their reliability functions. In this paper a new generalization of Weibull distribution called the transmuted Weibull distribution is utilized for our medical application. For example, Prolactin and prolactin receptors are present in normal breast tissue, benign breast disease, breast cancer cell lines, and breast tumour tissue, leading to speculation that the proliferative and antiapoptotic effects of prolactin in breast epithelial cells could be a factor in breast carcinogenesis. In this paper, a test for the distribution of prolactin concentrations in controls, by menopausal status and relationships with Serum Prolactin Levels and Breast Cancer Risk was investigated in the application part, by using Transmuted Weibull Distribution. As a result the mathematical curves for the Probability Density Function, Reliability Function and Hazard Rate Function are obtained for the corresponding medical curve given in the application part.Key words: Prolactin (PRL), Prolactin Receptor (PRLR), Single Nucleotide Polymorphism(SNP), Transmuted Weibull Distribution, Reliability Function, Hazard Rate Function.

Experimental and Fe Analysis of Eccentric Loaded Welded Joint StructureAbstract: Arc welded structures are widely used in automobiles, constructions & power plants. As the main cause of weldment failure is design defect & overload, hence it is necessary to analyze the maximum stresses in the weldment. In this project experimentation is carried out on symmetrical and unsymmetrical eccentric loaded welded joint to determine the breaking stress in the weldment. The FE analysis & analytical estimation of breaking stress is also carried out to verify the experimental results. The stress distribution along weld size & throat thickness is evaluated and also compared with reported findings under same loading condition. Further eccentric loaded welded joint is analyzed under eccentric load by varying the gap between parent plates.Key words: Eccentric, weldment Reference [1] Butler, L. J., Pal, S., and Kulak, G. L.

7. | Design of Lattice Wind Turbine Towers With Structural Optimization
Design of Lattice Wind Turbine Towers With Structural OptimizationAbstract: This article aims to study the self-supporting truss towers used to support large wind turbines in areas with high altitude. The goal is to evaluate and validate numerically by finite element method the structural analysis when the lattice structures of the towers of wind turbines are subjected to static loads and these from common usage. With this, it is expected minimize the cost of transportation and installation of the tower and maximize the generation of electricity, respecting technical standards and restrictions of structural integrity and safety, making vibration analysis and the required static and dynamic loads, thereby preventing failures by fractures or mechanical fatigue. Practical examples of towers will be designed by the system and will be tested in structural simulation programs using the Finite Element Method. This analysis is done on the entire region coupling action of the turbine, with variable sensitivity to vibration levels. The results obtained for freestanding lattice tower are compared with the information of a tubular one designed to support the generator with the same characteristics. At the end of this work itwas possible to observe the feasibility of using lattice towers that proved better as its structural performance but with caveats about its dynamic performance since the appearance of several other modes natural frequency thus reducing the intervals between them in low frequency and theoretically increase the risk of resonance.Key words: Structural Analysis, Vibration Analysis, Self-Supporting Truss Towers, Wind Energy, Finite Element Method, Structural Optimization Reference [1] AMARANTE, O.

8. | Performance Analysis of Cognitive Radio for Wi-Fi Signals Using Cyclostationary Spectrum Sensing
Performance Analysis of Cognitive Radio for Wi-Fi Signals Using Cyclostationary Spectrum SensingAbstract: The need for radio spectrum usage is increasing day by day with recent advancements in wireless system. But there is limited amount of spectrum available. So that for solving this problem Cognitive Radio (CR) is used for purpose of the spectrum utilization properly. Basically the Licensed users use the licensed bands but the unlicensed users should always check spectrum with the help of CR technology. The main aim of cognitive radio is to sense the spectrum continuously. In this paper, we have provided the proposal that how the capacity of the system can be increased by reuse the unused licensed band by simulating a Cognitive radio system. The secondary users can occupy free space (spectrum holes) and also licensed bands by continuously monitoring the spectrum. The requirements of cognitive radio systems will be investigated by considering spectrum sensing techniques. To achieve this, a Cyclostationary Spectrum Sensing technique is studied and applied to detect OFDM signals in a noisy environment. The results are obtained for the applications employed in high frequency, such as, Wi-Fi.Key words: Cognitive Radio,Cyclostationary Spectrum Sensing, Spectrum Sensing,SpectrumHoles,Wi-Fi.

9. | Conceptual Cost Estimate of Libyan Highway Projects Using Artificial Neural Network
Conceptual Cost Estimate of Libyan Highway Projects Using Artificial Neural NetworkAbstract: It is well known that decisions at early stages of a construction project have great impact on subsequent project performance. Conceptual cost estimate is a challenging task that is done with limited information at the early stages of a project life where many factors affecting the project costs are still unknown. The objective of this paper is to support decision makers in predicting the conceptual cost of highway construction projects in Libya. Initially, the factors that significantly influence highway construction are identified. Then, an artificial neural network model is developed for predicting the cost. The network is trained and tested with a total of 67 projects historical data. Training of the model is administered via back-propagation algorithm. The model is coded ad implemented using MATLAB® to facilitate its use. An optimization module is also added to the Neural Network model with the objective of minimizing the error of the predicted cost. The model is then validated and the results show better predictions of conceptual cost of highway projects in Libya.Key words: Construction, Conceptual cost estimating, Neural Networks, Highway projects, Libya.

10. | Data Mining to Facilitate Effective User Navigation and Improve Structure of a Website
Data Mining to Facilitate Effective User Navigation and Improve Structure of a WebsiteAbstract: Now a days for a company it is very important to have active presence on web to become successful in electronic market. This requirement is fulfilled by an interactive website of a company. Website can be used to sell goods, maintain customer relationships, promotion of goods. By looking at the customer's response towards website we can decide campaign for future products and services. So for this website should be interactive and must be used by user by the way designer wants to. So, it is very important to study navigational behavior of a customer. By analyzing the web logs which records the navigational activity of the customer we can get several sequential patterns which helps us to study whether user is pursuing site's goal or not. Sequences are analyzed with WUM (Web Utilization Miner) which gives g-sequence (Generalized Sequence) and aggregate tree as an output. On the basis of the structure that is given by WUM, conclusions are studied and it is decided whether site structure needs improvement; The improvements suggested should be minimum but at the same time site should satisfy business goal. A mathematical programming model is used which suggest minimum improvements to site. Improvements which tends to change structure of site are avoided as it may be confusing for old site user.Reference [1] Chintan R. Varnagar, Nirali N. Madhak, Trupti M. Kodinariya, Jayesh N.

11. | Study of Buckling Restrained Braces in Steel Frame Building
Study of Buckling Restrained Braces in Steel Frame BuildingAbstract: Conventional braces have limited deformation ductility capacity, and exhibit unsymmetrical hysteretic cycles, with marked strength deterioration when loaded in compression. To overcome the above mentioned problems, a new type of brace was developed in Japan called as buckling restrained braces, designated as BRB's. These braces are designed such that buckling is inhibited to occur, exhibiting adequate behavior and symmetrical hysteretic curves under the action of both tensile and compressive cycles, produced by the action of seismic and wind forces. This paper presents experimental results concerning the lateral load carrying capacity of steel frame model by use of buckling restrained brace. This paper also includes the comparative study of lateral load carrying capacity of frame model for bare frame, frame with Conventional brace and frame with buckling restrained brace.Key words: Lateral load, Steel frame, Conventional brace, Buckling restrained brace (BRB) Reference [1] Amiri J.V., Naeej M. and Monaeej M.R.

13. | Effect of Storage Period on the Physicochemical, Sensory and Microbiological Quality of Bakery Flavoured Ice Cream
Effect of Storage Period on the Physicochemical, Sensory and Microbiological Quality of Bakery Flavoured Ice CreamAbstract: Storage conditions were known to bring about some physicochemical changes in frozen foods. The present investigation was therefore carried out to examine the effect of storage period on the physicochemical, sensory and microbiological quality of bakery flavoured ice cream. Bakery flavoured ice cream incorporating cookies (plain and chocolate) and cakes (vanilla and chocolate) at 10 per cent level were prepared and subjected to 60 days of frozen storage and evaluated periodically at intervals of 15 days. With the progress in the storage period total solids, acidity and specific gravity of all ice cream samples increased significantly (p<0.01) during the storage, while pH, antioxidant activity and overrun decreased significantly (p<0.01). Protein, fibre and ash content do not show any significant change during storage. The decrease in total phenolic content was found to be non significant with increase in storage period from 0 to 60 days. Storage period had significant (p<0.01) on L and a*colour attributes of ice cream samples. First dripping time increased while melting rate decreased in all samples. The mean sensory scores of all ice cream samples decreased significantly with progress in storage period at -18±1oC. There was a significant decline in Standard Plate Count (SPC) and increase in psychrophillic count with progress in storage period.Key words: Ice cream, physicochemical, sensory quality, first dripping time, melting rate, microbiological quality, storage.

15. | Design & Simulation of E-Shaped Micro Strip Patch Antenna for GPS Application
Design & Simulation of E-Shaped Micro Strip Patch Antenna for GPS ApplicationAbstract: Micro strip antennas are widely used in many applications due to their low Profile, low cost and ease of fabrication. In some applications it is desired to have a dual band or multiband characteristics. This paper presents the design and simulation of E-shape micro strip patch antenna with wideband operating frequency for wireless application. The shape will provide the broad bandwidth which is required in various application like remote sensing, biomedical application, mobile radio, satellite communication etc. The antenna design is an improvement from previous research and it is simulated using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) version 13.0 software. GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed with a GPS receiver enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time. Coaxial feed or probe feed technique is used. Parametric study was included to determine affect of design towards the antenna performance. Radiation performance of the designed antenna is simulated using the HFSS software version 13.0. The performance of the designed antenna was analyzed in term of bandwidth, gain, return loss, VSWR, and radiation pattern. The design was optimized to meet the best possible result. Substrate used was air which has a dielectric constant of 1.0006. The results show the wideband antenna is able to operate from 8.80 GHz to 13.49 GHz frequency band with optimum frequency at 8.73 GHz. Due to the compact area occupied. The pro-posed antenna is promising to be embedded within the different portable devices employing GPS applications.Key words: E-shaped slot microstrip,Rectangular Patch,Co-axial probe, GPS, HFSS Software Reference [1] Ge, Y.; Esselle, K.P.; Bird, T.S.; , "E-shaped patch antennas for highspeed wireless networks," Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Transactions on , vol.52, no.12, pp. 3213- 3219, Dec. 2004 [2] B.-K.

10-Gb/S Transmission of Wdm Pon for Man with 50km Reach Based On FtthAbstract: The wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) is considered to be the next evolutionary solution for a simplified and future-proofed access system that can accommodate exponential traffic growth and bandwidth-hungry new applications. WDM-PON mitigates the complicated time-sharing and power budget issues in time division- multiplexed PON (TDM-PON) by providing virtual point-to-point optical connectivity to multiple end users through a dedicated pair of wavelengths. The objective of this paper is proposed a scheme for metropolitan area networks comprising optical components based on arrayed waveguide grating multiplexers, demultiplexers .The Arrayed waveguide gratings based multiplexers and demultiplexers for WDM applications prove to be capable of precise multiplexing and demultiplexing of a large number of channels with relatively low losses.Key words: AWGPON.

18. | Failure Mode Analysis Of Torsion Shaft In Garrett-5 Engine Using Two Test Pieces
Failure Mode Analysis Of Torsion Shaft In Garrett-5 Engine Using Two Test PiecesAbstract: This work deals with "Failure Analysis of Internal splines in Torsion Shaft" of "TPE 331-5-252D - GARRET ENGINE" which is used in Dornier aircraft. Garret Engine is a type of air breathing engine. It comes under the category of Turboprop engines of Gas turbine engine. As separate shafts are used for propeller and turbine, this aids them to rotate at different RPM. A torsion shaft is used to transmit the torque from main shaft to propeller shaft. Torsion shaft is used to give a deflection which is also used to measure the torque of the engine. This torsion shaft is internally connected with the main power transmission shaft and its other end is coupled to a coupler shaft with engagement of its internal splines to the external splines of coupler shaft. Further this coupler connects to the gearing system and transmits power to the propeller shaft. Due to Continues variable load over internal splines, it is subjected to high rate of wear and tear. This problem can be rectified by Failure Mode Analysis Method, in which heat treatment process of torsion shaft is being carried out. Two test pieces are heat treated separately at different temperatures of 5800C and 5400C at variable time durations. Tuffriding which is a Liquid nitriding process is done with this two test pieces and results are analyzed. The hardness of the material is increased to desired values and its life time is also increased which overcomes the problem.Key words: Coupler, Splines, Torsion Shaft, Tuffriding, Wear.

19. | Effect of Fillers on E-Glass/Jute Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites
Effect of Fillers on E-Glass/Jute Fiber Reinforced Epoxy CompositesAbstract: In this work, an investigation was carried out on E-glass fiber/jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites filled with varying concentrations of bone and coconut shell powder. The composites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique and the mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength, flexural strength, inter laminar shear strength (ILSS), tensile modulus, impact strength and hardness of the fabricated composites were tested. The test results of these were compared with unfilled HFRP composites. From the results it was found that the mechanical properties of the composites increased with the increase in filler content. Composites filled with 15% volume coconut shell powder exhibited maximum flexural strength, inter laminar shear strength (ILSS), tensile modulus and hardness. Maximum impact strength was achieved by addition of filler (15% Vol.) of bone powder.Key words: Bone powder, Coconut shell powder, HFRP composites, Mechanical Properties Reference [1] M A Gulbarga and S B Burli, State of art, low investment, in house and manual preparation of injection moldable bio-composite granules, Int J Sci Res, 3(8), 2013, 1-6.

20. | Theoretical and Statistical Models for Predicting Flux in Direct Contact Membrane Distillation
Theoretical and Statistical Models for Predicting Flux in Direct Contact Membrane DistillationAbstract: Theoretical modelhas been applied to predict the performance of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) based on the analysis of heat and mass transfer through the membrane. The performance of DCMD on the account of different operating parameters had been predicted. Feed inlet temperature, coolant inlet temperature, feed flow rate and coolant flow rate are the considered performance variables. Based on the data obtained from theoretical model, statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) was then performed to determine the significant effect of each operating factors on the DCMD system performance. A new regression model was subsequently developed for predicting the performance of the DCMD system. Resultsrevealed that both theoretical and regression models were in good agreement with each other and also with the selected experimental data used for validation. The maximum percentage error between the two models was found to be1.098%. Hence, the developed regression model is adequate for predict the performance of DCMD system within the domain of the considered analysis.Key words: Water Desalination, Direct contact membrane distillation, theoretical modelling, ANOVA, Taguchi methodology, regression model.

1. | A Hybrid Technique for the Automated Segmentation of Corpus Callosum in Midsagittal Brain Mri
A Hybrid Technique for the Automated Segmentation of Corpus Callosum in Midsagittal Brain MriAbstract: The corpus callosum (CC) is the largest white-matter structure in human brain. In this paper, we take two techniques to observe the results of segmentation of Corpus Callosum. The first one is mean shift algorithm and morphological operation. The second one is k-means clustering. In this paper, it is performed in three steps. The first step is finding the corpus callosum area using adaptive mean shift algorithm or k-means clustering . In second step, the boundary of detected CC area is then used as the initial contour in the Geometric Active Contour (GAC) mode and final step to remove unknown noise using morphological operation and evolved to get the final segmentation result. The experimental results demonstrate that the mean shift algorithm and k-means clustering has provided a reliable segmentation performance.Index term: corpus callosum, mean shift, geometric active contour and morphological techniques Reference [1] Kubicki M, Styner M, Bouix S, et al: Reduced interhemispheric connectivity in schizophrenia-tractography based segmentation of the corpus callosum.

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

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

6. | Experimental Investigation on Properties Concrete Paver Block with the Inclusion of Natural Fibers
Experimental Investigation on Properties Concrete Paver Block with the Inclusion of Natural FibersAbstract: In this experimental investigation the compressive strength, water absorption and flexural strength of paver blocks were determined by adding Coconut fibers in the top 20mm thickness. Coconut fibers were added in proportions of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5% in volume of concrete. The compressive strength, flexural strength and water absorption were determined at the end of 7 and 28 days. Test results indicate that addition of coconut fiber by 0.3% paver block attains maximum compressive strength. Test results indicate that addition of coconut fiber gradually increases flexural strengths and water absorption at 7 and 28 days. In this investigation at 0.3% of coconut fiber content effect of top layer thickness on compressive strength and flexural strength is also determined. Results show that inclusion of fibers even up to 50% of top layer thickness compressive and flexural strengths are increasing. The paper also shows the cost comparison per each block.Key words: Coconut Fiber, Compressive Strength, Cost, Flexural Strength, Paver Block, Water Absorption Reference [1]. Munawar, S.S., K.

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

Study on Effect of Thickness and Fibre Orientation on a Tensile and Flexural Properties of a Hybrid CompositeAbstract: This project presents the study of tensile, flexural & moisture absorption properties of composites made from S-glass, Carbon and E-glass fibre. The specimens are prepared using hand lay-up techniques as per ASTM standard for different thickness 2mm and 3mm and fibre orientation of 30º, 45º and 60º, where an attempt is made to study the properties of composite materials by composing the different materials together to obtain the desired properties by increasing the thickness and fibre orientation. By the variation of thickness tensile strength of hybrid composite is observed for each thickness and is compared with the finite element analysis results. The test ready specimens were subjected to tensile and flexural loads on UTM. This research indicates that tensile strength is mainly dependent on the fiber orientation & thickness of laminated polymer composites. The moisture absorption increases with the fibre, filler content and duration of immersion in water.Reference [1] B.H.Manjunath, Dr. K Prahlada Rao, "Influence Of Fiber/Filler Particles Reinforcement On Epoxy Composites", International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA), Vol. 3, Issue 3, May-Jun 2013, pp.1147-1151.

11. | Image Restitution Using Non-Locally Centralized Sparse
Representation Model
Image Restitution Using Non-Locally Centralized Sparse Representation ModelAbstract: Sparse representation models uses a linear combination of a few atoms selected from an over-completed dictionary to code an image patch which have given good results in different image restitution applications. The reconstruction of the original image is not so accurate using traditional models of sparse representation to solve degradation problems which are blurring, noisy, and down-sampled. The goal of image restitution is to suppress the sparse coding noise and to improve the image quality by using the concept of sparse representation. To obtain a good sparse coding coefficients of the original image we exploit the image non-local self similarity and then by centralizing the sparse coding coefficients of the observation image to those estimates. This non-locally centralized sparse representation model outperforms standard sparse representation models in all aspects of image restitution problems including de-noising, de-blurring, and super-resolution.Reference [1] W.

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

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

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

18. | Seismic Performance Evaluation of Multi-Storeyed R C Framed Structural System with the Influence of Ground & Top Soft Storey
Seismic Performance Evaluation of Multi-Storeyed R C Framed Structural System with the Influence of Ground & Top Soft StoreyAbstract: Masonry infills are normally considered as non-structural elements and their stiffness contributions are generally ignored in practice. But they affect both the structural and non-structural performance of the RC buildings during earthquakes. RC frame building with open first storey is known as soft storey, which performs poorly during strong earthquake shaking. A similar soft storey effect can also appear at top storey level if a storey used as a service storey. Hence a combination of two structural system components i.e. Rigid frames and RC shear walls leads to a highly efficient system in which shear wall resist the majority of the lateral loads and the frame supports majority of the gravity loads. To study the effect of masonry infill and different soft storey level, 11 models of R C framed building were analyzed with two types of shear wall when subjected to earthquake loading. The results of bare frame and other building models have been compared, it is observed that model with swastika and L shape shear wall with core wall are showing efficient performance and hence reducing the effect of soft storey and also reducing the effect of water pressure in the top soft storey.Key words: bare frame, masonry infill, soft storey, shear wall Reference [1] Amit.V.Khandve, "Seismic Response of RC Frame Buildings with Soft Storeys".

1. | Multi-Response Ergonomic Evaluation of Higher Age Group CNC Machine Operators
Multi-Response Ergonomic Evaluation of Higher Age Group CNC Machine OperatorsAbstract: This work contributes to research on improving performance in a human-CNC machine interface (HCMI) environment. A salient contribution of this study is the use of a load cell to measure human performance. The developed novel system can measure cognitive and motor action responses simultaneously. The performance measurement system designed for this work may be used in other fields where systems are operated using control panels and for observing and evaluating the responses of mentally retarded persons (or persons with symptoms of Alzheimer‟s disease). The search time, motor action time and applied force were selected as response variables to accurately evaluate a computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine operator‟s performance. Based on a Taguchi experimental design, a full factorial design consisting of 27 (33) experiments was used to collect data on human performance. The collected data were analyzed using grey relational analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the F-test. ANOVA was performed using Design-Expert software. The designed research was shown to have a reasonable degree of validity via a confirmation test. This study represents an effective approach for the optimization of a higher age group operator-CNC machine interface environment with multi-performance characteristics based on a combination of the Taguchi method and grey relational analysis. Relevance to industry: The findings of this work are directly applicable to the practical field to improve the design of a CNC-machines system. This work suggests that those responsible for the functioning and operation of CNC-machines workstations would have to redesign the system to reduce musculoskeletal injuries and other related problems. The present results can be quite useful for future system designers. It is emphasized that applying ergonomic principles to the design of CNC machines and interfaces can not only help to enhance machine performance and productivity but can also enable the human operator to feel comfortable and secure. As most companies have acquired automated manufacturing technology in recent years to be competitive, ergonomic and safety considerations are of the utmost importance.Key words: Multi-performance; Search time; Motor action time; Applied force; Load cell; CNC-Environment.

2. | An Higher Case Operation and Analysis of a Multiple Renewable Resources Connected To A Dc Load Through Dc Bus An Higher Case Operation and Analysis of a Multiple RenewableAbstract: In our nation the usage of electricity is increasing day-by-day. According to that conserdations, the generated power from the non-renewable sources will not satisfy the demands properly. so for these purpose, by using multiple renewable sources, it will be very useful to some type of dc applications. The power produced from the individual renewable sources will not be satisfy the demand at all times. So by integration of a multiple renewable sources such as wind and solar a huge amount of power will be produced. These power will be coordinated to the ac grid or directly to dc consumers. For integration of renewable sources an aggregated model has to be proposed. In according to these operation BESS (battery energy storage system)is equipped with the system for maintaining the power balance. For obtaining the power balance the adaptive droop control technique has to be proposed and droop curves are evaluated. The droop characteristics are selected on the basis of the deviation between the optimized and real-time SOC of the BESS. In these paper, the operational analysis can be performed when real time soc is higher than the optimised soc and droop curves are plotted. Operational controls with in the micro grid [such as cost have to be optimized at the same time it will satisfy the demand] are designed to support the integration of wind and solar power. By these process micro grid real time supply and demand will be maintain in symmetry. The simulation results are to be developed in MATLAB SIMULINK process for renewable power generation and fast charging load connected to the dc bus, droop control based responses.Index terms: distributed energy resources, fast charging, droop control, electrical vehicle, micro grid, multilevel energy storage, power electronic conversion, emission constraint Reference [1] F.

3. | Rule-Based Mamdani-Type Fuzzy Modeling of Perceived Stress, And Cortisol Responses to Awakening
Rule-Based Mamdani-Type Fuzzy Modeling of Perceived Stress, And Cortisol Responses to AwakeningAbstract: In this paper, Two Mamdani type fuzzy models (four inputs–one output and two inputs–one output) were developed to test the hypothesis that high job demands and low job control (job strain) are associated with elevated free cortisol levels early in the working day and with reduced variability across the day and to evaluate the contribution of anger expression to this pattern. The models were derived from multiple data sources including One hundred five school teachers (41 men and 64 women) classified 12 months earlier as high (N = 48) or low (N = 57) in job strain according to the demand/control model sampled saliva at 2-hour intervals from 8:00 to 8:30 hours to 22:00 to 22:30 hours on a working day. The quality of the model was determined by comparing predicted and actual fuzzy classification and defuzzification of the predicted outputs to get crisp values for correlating estimates with published values. A modified form of the Hamming distance measure is proposed to compare predicted and actual fuzzy classification. An entropy measure is used to describe the ambiguity associated with the predicted fuzzy outputs. The four input model predicted over 70% of the test data within one-half of a fuzzy class of the published data. The two input model predicted over 40% of the test data within one-half of a fuzzy class of the published data. Comparison of the models show that the four input model exhibited less entropy than the two input model.Key words: job strain, cortisol, anger, work stress, teaching, Mamdani fuzzy modeling, Hamming distance 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 90B22 Secondary 90B05; 60K30 Reference [1] Luecken LJ, Suarez EC, Kuhn CM, Barefoot JC, Blumenthal JA, Siegler IC, Williams RB.

5. | Mitigation of Lower Order Harmonics with Filtered Svpwm In Multiphase Voltage Source Inverters
Mitigation of Lower Order Harmonics with Filtered Svpwm In Multiphase Voltage Source InvertersAbstract: Multi-phase machines and drives is a topic of growing relevance in recent years, and it presents many challenging issues that still need further research. This is the case of multi-phase space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM), which shows not only more space vectors than the standard three-phase case, but also new subspaces where the space vectors are mapped. In the digital implementation, multiphase reference voltages are sampled and fed into the digital modulator to produce gating signals at a constant clock rate f. This means a finite pulse-width resolution because the gating state transition can only occur at some specific time instants depending on frequency. This results in a deviation of produced phase voltages from the desired phase voltages, i.e., increasing harmonic distortion especially for a small modulation index signal. In the present paper a filtered space-vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) considering finite pulse-width resolution is proposed to produce a switching sequence with reduced baseband harmonics for multiphase voltage source inverters (VSI). This is achieved by incorporating a pseudo feedback loop regarding weighted voltage difference between desired and produced phase voltages.Key words: SVPWM, Voltage Source inverters, Harmonic Distortion.

Domotics – A Cost Effective Smart Home Automation System Using Wifi as Network InfrastructureAbstract: This paper describes an investigation into the potential for remote controlled operation of home automation (also called as Domotics) systems. It considers problems with their implementation, discusses possible solutions through various network technologies and indicates how to optimize the use of such systems. This paper emphasizes on the design and prototype implementation of new home automation system that uses WiFi technology as a network infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed can be viewed on two fold; the first part is the software (web server), which presents system core that manages, controls, and monitors users' home. Users and system administrator can locally (LAN) or remotely (internet) manage the system code.

Performance Analysis of Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) SystemAbstract: With the concept of 3G & 4G services OCDMA is one of the important technologies, that provide a very high speed communication. In this technology multiple users can communicate simultaneously to transfer different kind of data. OCDMA enables the best use of available bandwidth and the spectrum to represent a cost efficient network. But in a network there is always the requirement to increase the security and the efficiency or the throughput of a multiuser communication in the OCDMA network. The proposed work is about to increase the efficiency in a Noisy channel. Here the work will be performed on impulse noised network. We are here proposing the orthogonal approach along with OCDMA to improve the throughput. We are trying to show the results in terms of noise ratio and the derived throughput. The proposed work is about to reduce this packet loss and to increase the throughput in the noisy network. To overcome this drawback and to increase the throughput we are using the concept of OFDM along with CDMA. This concept is represented as the Orthogonal CDMA.Key words: OCDMA, TDMA, FDMA, MATLAB Reference [1] Harmandeep Singh,‖ Performance Analysis of Optical CDMA using Fuzzy Logic Generator‖ THAPAR UNIVERSITY PATIALA July 2008 [2] Dhananjay1 *, Amita Soni1, Sanjeev Kumar,‖ Design of Enhanced Throughput Approach in Noisy Environment using Orthogonal-CDMA‖August, 2011 [3] C.

Heat Transfer Analysis to Optimize The Water Cooling Scheme For Combustion DeviceAbstract: Thermal Propulsion system is one kind of propulsion system which is used to drive torpedo. The present study focuses mainly on design of combustion device known to be thrust chamber or thrust cylinder. The chamber and nozzle wall and the injector face plate must be made of metals selected for high strength at elevated temperature coupled with good thermal conductivity, resistance to high temperature oxidation. chemical inertness on the coolant on the coolant side, and suitability for the fabrication method to be employed. In the case of certain monopropellants, the metal must not catalyze the decomposition. Although aluminum and copper alloys have been used successfully for combustion chambers and nozzles, stainless steels and carbon steels are in widest use today.A cooling jacket permits the circulation of a coolant, which, in the case of flight engines is usually one of the propellants. Water is the only coolant recommended. The cooling jacket consists of an inner and outer wall. The combustion chamber forms the inner wall and another concentric but larger cylinder provides the outer wall. The space between the walls serves as the coolant passage. The nozzle throat region usually has the highest heat transfer intensity and is, therefore, the most difficult to cool.Key words: combustion device, thrust chamber.

10. | Self Compacting Concrete And Its Properties
Self Compacting Concrete And Its PropertiesAbstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC), which flows under its own weight and doesn't require any external vibration for compaction, has revolutionized concrete placement. Such concrete should have relatively low yield value to ensure high flow ability, a moderate viscosity to resists segregation and bleeding and must maintain its homogeneity during transportation, placing and curing to ensure adequate structural performance and long term durability. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) can be defined as a fresh concrete which possesses superior flow ability under maintained stability (i.e. no segregation) thus allowing self-compaction that is, material consolidation without addition of energy. Self-compacting concrete is a fluid mixture suitable for placing in structures with Congested reinforcement without vibration and it helps in achieving higher quality of surface finishes. However utilization of high reactive Metakaolin and Flyash asan admixtures as an effective pozzolan which causes great improvement in the porestructure. The relative proportions of key components are considered by volumerather than by mass. self compacting concrete (SCC) mix design with 29% of coarse aggregate, replacement of cement with Metakaolin and class F flyash, combinations of both and controlled SCC mix with 0.36 water/cementitious ratio(by weight) and388 litre/m3 of cement paste volume. Crushed granite stones of size 16mm and12.5mm are used with a blending 60:40 by percentage weight of total coarse aggregate. Self-compacting concrete compactibility is affected by the characteristics of materials and the mix proportions; it becomes necessary to evolve a procedure formix design of SCC. The properties of different constituent materials used in this investigation and its standard tests procedures for acceptance characteristics of self compacting concrete such as slump flow, V-funnel and L-Box are presented.Key words: Self Compacting Concrete, Flyash , Properties.

Flexural, Impact Properties and Sem Analysis of Bamboo and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester Hybrid CompositesAbstract: The Flexural, Impact properties and Scanning electron microscope analysis of Bamboo/glass fibers Reinforced polyester Hybrid composites were studied. The effect of alkali treatment of the bamboo fibers on these properties was also studied. It was observed that the Flexural, impact properties of the hybrid composite increase with glass fiber content. These properties found to be higher when alkali treated bamboo fibers were used in the hybrid composites. The elimination of amorphous hemi-cellulose with alkali treated leading to higher crystallinity of the bamboo fibers with alkali treatment may be responsible for these observations. The author investigated the interfacial bonding between Glass/Bamboo reinforced polyester composites.

Photovoltaic Modules Performance Loss Evaluation for Nsukka, South East Nigeria and Mitigable DesignsAbstract: The Photovoltaic (PV) systems and technology offer excellent reliability when designed with the right implementation tools and based on good technical judgements of components that make up each of the critical sections of solar power system. The PV array is an essential section of a solar power system and it is expected to function to deliver pre – estimated power based on design estimations. There are factors that derail the performance of PV modules; the contributions of these factors are peculiar to specific sites of installation, hence the need to empirically evaluate and characterize installation sites before deployment of PV systems. This paper presents the characterization of Nsukka (South East, Nigeria) environment using decent instrumentation; and consequently highlights the power loss indicators for PV modules in the target site while presenting equally mitigable design.Key words: Array, Irradiance, NECOP, Power, PV, STC, String Reference [1] Daniyan O.L., Daniyan I.A.

15. | Aerodynamic Drag Reduction for A Generic Sport Utility Vehicle Using Rear Suction
Aerodynamic Drag Reduction for A Generic Sport Utility Vehicle Using Rear SuctionAbstract: The high demand for new and improved aerodynamic drag reduction devices has led to the invention of flow control mechanisms and continuous suction is a promising strategy that does not have major impact on vehicle geometry. The implementation of this technique on sport utility vehicles (SUV) requires adequate choice of the size and location of the opening as well as the magnitude of the boundary suction velocity. In this paper we introduce a new methodology to identifying these parameters for maximum reduction in aerodynamic drag. The technique combines automatic modeling of the suction slit, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and a global search method using orthogonal arrays. It is shown that a properly designed suction mechanism can reduce drag by up to 9%..Key words: Aerodynamics, Fluid dynamics, Optimization, Taguchi Method, CFD based optimization Reference [1] Hucho, W.H., Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles, 4th Edition, SAE International, 1998 [2] Sovran, G., et al.

18. | Sanitation Coverage And Impact Of Open Defecation Free (ODF) Zone With Special Reference To Nepal: A Review
Sanitation Coverage And Impact Of Open Defecation Free (ODF) Zone With Special Reference To Nepal: A ReviewAbstract: The basic needs of people such as safe drinking water, improved hygiene and sanitation must be fulfilled for a dignified life of human being. Sanitation is one of the major components which directly impact the living standard of people. However, people in many parts of the world have not got the sanitized condition and have been living in a non-hygienic situation. About 35% (2.5 billion) populations in the world are still lacking to access improved sanitation. There are many indicators of sanitized society but toilet is considered as one of the important ones. In Nepal, around 62% households have got the facility of toilet. This indicates that 38 % of households have no access to toilets and defecate openly. As a result people have got poor hygiene and sanitation environment. In turn, the country has got the loss of NRs. 10 billion annually. The objective of this paper is to explore the knowledge on open defecation (OD). OD is being eradicated from many parts of the world. Many western countries have already been free from OD. But this problem still exists in most of the developing and under-developed countries like Nepal. Though the adverse impact of OD is very high; people are not aware. Construction of toilets by providing outside support for the ultra poor people is not the rational way of eradication of OD. Technical and financial support for toilet construction could be effective if people are aware.Key words: Sanitation, open defecation, Terai, Mountain, Nepal Reference [1] Bartram, 2013.

19. | Analysis of Thermal Buckling of Ceramic-Metal Functionally
Graded Plates Using Refined Third Order Shear Deformation
Theory
Analysis of Thermal Buckling of Ceramic-Metal Functionally Graded Plates Using Refined Third Order Shear Deformation TheoryAbstract: Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are microscopically inhomogeneous spatial composite materials, typically composed of a ceramic-metal or ceramic-polymer pair of materials. Therefore, it is important to investigate the behaviors of engineering structures such as beams and plates made from FGMs when they are subjected to thermal loads for appropriate design. Therefore, using an improved third order shear deformation theory (TSDT) based on more rigorous kinetics of displacements to predict the behaviors of functionally graded plates is expected to be more suitable than using other theories. In this paper, the improved TSDT is used to investigate thermal buckling of functionally graded plates. Temperature dependent material property solutions are adopted to investigate thermal buckling results of functionally graded plates. To obtain the solutions, the Ritz method using polynomial and trigonometric functions for defining admissible displacements and rotations is applied to solve the governing equations.Key words: functionally graded materials, thermal loads, improved third order shear deformation theory, Ritz method Reference [1] Aboudi, J., Pindera, M.

20. | Power Quality Improvement of Grid Interconnection of renewable Energy Based Distribution System
Power Quality Improvement of Grid Interconnection of renewable Energy Based Distribution SystemAbstract: This paper presents a grid interfacing inverter which compensates power quality problems and also interface Renewable Energy Sources with the help of electric grid. Renewable Energy Sources are being increasingly connected in distribution system utilizing power electronic converters. Grid interfacing inverter can be used: 1) To improve the transfer of active power harvested from RES; 2) To meet load reactive power demand support ; 3) To reduce current harmonics by incorporating the current harmonic compensator at point of common coupling(PCC) ; 4) current unbalance and neutral current compensation in case of 3-phase 4-wire system. The fuzzy logic can be used in many applications especially, when the process/models are complex to analyse by using classical methods. Mainly fuzzy logic controller is used to control DC capacitor voltage. Simulations are carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK to verify the performance of the controller. The output shows the controller has fast dynamic response high accuracy of tracking DC voltage reference and robust to load parameters variations.Index Terms: Active Power Filter,Distribution generation, fuzzy logic controller.

21. | Crosscutting Specification Interference Detection at Aspect Oriented UML-Based Models: A Database Approach
Crosscutting Specification Interference Detection at Aspect Oriented UML-Based Models: A Database ApproachAbstract: In aspect oriented development, obliviousness is one of its pillars as it helps developers to implement crosscutting concerns via aspects, which increases the overall software modularity. Despite of its merits, obliviousness brings the problem of interferences among aspects as several aspects pointcuts may address the same joinpoint for the same advice. Existing approaches deals with conflicts at design level use graphs structures, which increase in size as project size increases. In this work, a relational database model is used to map aspect oriented design models and then conflicts are extracted by an algorithm runs over this database. This approach is simpler than other approaches and enables large project sizes while the other approaches get complicated due to increment in graph size. The proposed approach can be extended to the distributed team development, dependent on the database engine used.Key words: Aspect Oriented Development, Crosscutting Concerns, Databases, Interference Detection.
