9. Applied to animal breeding for disease resistance

Animal diseases cause significant losses to livestock’s and breeders, resultant into direct damages to animals, reduced productivity and cost of treatment. One of the promising additional methods to control diseases is breeding animals for disease resistance. The resistance of animals to diseases is related to their ability to withstand pathogens and harmful environmental influences. For the planned control of hereditary diseases in domestic animals, it is required not only an accurate knowledge of their inheritance but also an accurate and monotonous description and designation of the disease. Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstandings in identifying hereditary anomalies in domestic animals, an international nomenclature has been created for their description and designation. According to this nomenclature, hereditary diseases of each species of animals are designated by a certain letter of the alphabet. Specific diseases peculiar to this species are characterized by numerical indexes. Developments in technologies, such as genomic selection, may help overcome several of the limitations of traditional breeding programmes and will be especially beneficial in breeding for lowly heritable disease traits that only manifest themselves following exposure to pathogens or environmental stressors in adulthood. The current paper provides a brief overview of the present-day application of microsatellites markers in animal breeding and makes a significant contribution to the overall farm animal health and resistance to disease.

37. Cardiovascular health pre-diagnosis system based on bp profile using backpropagation algorithm

Blood pressure profiling during exercise has been found to predict a future diagnosis of heart-related diseases such as hypertension, hypotension, and coronary heart disease. Non-invasive methods have made it easier to measure blood pressure. Devices like stethoscope and sphygmomanometer are most commonly used in clinics and hospitals to measure blood pressure but these devices provide us with single measurement or partial information about a person’s cardiovascular health. Blood pressure does not remain constant; it changes with every instant considering various parameters such as age and gender. So, there is a need to measure BP through a more improved method such as exercise stress testing. This study describes the implementation of Artificial Neural Network to develop an algorithm to perform cardiovascular health pre-diagnosis of a patient. The decision-making is done through a blood pressure (BP) profile generated by conducting exercise stress testing. The parameters considered for profiling were age, gender, height, weight, blood pressure measurement with the risk factors and BMI. The data generated is imparted as training and testing sets to develop an algorithm, which will be able to accurately pre-diagnose cardiovascular health status of a person.

39. Big data analytics in precision agriculture and constant monitoring of soil and weather

Agriculture has been one of the zones where innovation has not been utilized to the fullest and the usage of Precision Agriculture (PA) is still in its beginning times. One of the most important parameters in the field of agriculture that needs to be monitored constantly is the moisture content of the soil. To maximize the productivity in this field the condition and development of the crops are the most critical variables and these elements rely upon the levels of moisture content in the soil. Different crops need different levels of moisture content, therefore it is very important to monitor and forecasts it. In this paper, a mathematical model is created to compute the surface soil dampness by utilizing both precipitation and evaporation rate obtained by the electromagnetic sensors installed in the ground. Evaporation can be considered to be a linear combination of dynamic evaporation and thermodynamic evaporation which happens due to radiation. Soil moisture content is inversely proportional to the evaporation rate and it is directly proportional to the precipitation rate. Therefore a linear regression model is the best fit to determine the soil moisture content. Constant monitoring can be made possible by the soil mapping software with the sensors which keep reading the data periodically.

Structural components are generally subjected to dynamic loadings in their working life. Very often these components may have to perform in the severe dynamic environment wherein the maximum damage results from the resonant vibration. Susceptibility to fracture of materials due to vibration is determined by stress and frequency. The maximum amplitude of the vibration must be in the limited for the safety of the structure. Hence vibration analysis has become very important in designing a structure to know in advance its response and to take necessary steps to control the structural vibrations and its amplitudes. The non-linear or large amplitude flexural vibration of plates has received considerable attention in recent years because of the great importance and interest attached to the structures of low flexural rigidity. These easily deformable structures vibrate at large amplitudes. The solution obtained based on the lineage models provide no more than a first approximation to the actual solutions. The increasing demand for more realistic models to predict the responses of elastic bodies combined with the availability of super computational facilities has enabled researchers to abandon the linear theories in favor of non-linear methods of solutions. In the present investigation, large amplitude vibration of several rectangular and skew plates has been studied using an isoparametric quadratic plate bending element for the finite element method. The formulations have incorporated the shear deformation of the plates. Plates with various boundary conditions have been considered in the study. The effect of variations in the Poisson’s ratio, thickness parameter & plate aspect ratio on the non-linear frequency ratio has also been included in the research.

111. Evaluation of stress intensity factor for turbine blade using finite element method

Gas turbines are used in trains, ships, tanks, and alongside steam turbines and in power stations to generate power. During every start-up and shutdown of an aviation gas turbine, the compressor blades are subjected to centrifugal, gas bending and vibratory loads. This repeated loading and unloading can reduce the life of compressor blades. With blading problems accounting for as many as 42 percents of the failures in gas turbines. Previous works on compressor blades have focused mainly on fatigue life estimation in the vicinity of foreign object damage. Geometric modeling of the blade was done using CAD tool CATIA. Static stress analysis was carried out to ascertain the critical region or crack zone of the blade. The maximum Von - Mises stress was found at the fillet region near the root of the blade The results of Finite element analysis showed that maximum von-mises stress was found at the 12 o‟ clock fillet region due to an influence of centrifugal stresses. The maximum Mode I stress intensity factor of 61.4 Mpa√m was found at the surface interception point, for a crack length of 6mm and crack depth of 2.4mm. With the increase in rotational velocity of 5000 rpm, 10000 rpm, and 20000 rpm, Fatigue crack length growth rate was estimated to be a 1.95 x 10-09, 1.65 x 10-07 m/cycle and 4.15 x 10-05 m/cycle and the fatigue crack propagation life was estimated to be of 4.3 x 108 cycles, 7.3 x 106 cycles and 5 x 103 cycles respectively.

112. A review article of WDM based optical fiber communication with WDM system evolution

In the modern world, bandwidth and data rates are two most important parameters under consideration in any communication system. An optical fiber communication system is capable of transmitting the data at high bit rates and has a large bandwidth capacity. This high data rate and bandwidth capacity in an optical fiber communication system are further enhanced by using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in conjunction with the information transmission system, in which information from multiple sources are transferred using the same fiber, at the same time, but at different wavelengths. But the high capacity and data rates in optical WDM system is limited by nonlinear effects that occur in optical WDM system, which not only pose a limitation on the channel capacity and data rates but also degrades the performance of the data transmission system. In this paper, analysis has been done to investigate the efficiency of effect under the influence of different system parameters such as chromatic dispersion coefficient, channel spacing, transmission power level, effective area of fiber and fiber length in the form of input signals and output signals frequency spectrums.

139. Steel fiber reinforced concrete under cyclic loading: An overview

In recent years, it has been recognized that addition of small closely spaced and uniform dispersed discrete steel fibers in concrete substantially improve its static and dynamic properties. The addition of steel fibers from 0.5 to 2.0 percent by volume in concrete is found to impart superior strength characteristics i.e. compressive strength, flexural strength, shear strength, fatigue strength and impact resistance. Recently, the use of steel fibers has increased in flexural members and columns of concrete structures subjected to cyclic loadings such as bridge decks, highway roads, runways of airports, offshore platforms and buildings. It is necessary to obtain more information on the mechanical behaviour of steel fiber reinforced concrete under cyclic loading in attempting applications of SFRC in structural members. The present investigation was planned to study the plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete under cyclic loading. The basic parameters of the study were fiber contents expressed as volume fraction and stress levels expressed as a percentage of the maximum flexural strength. The fiber contents used were 0.5 and 1.0% by volume of concrete. The beams were tested at three stress levels i.e. 85%, 90%, and 95%. Straight mild steel fibers were used in the study with an aspect ratio of 70. The physical properties of the basic constituent material viz, cement, sand, coarse aggregate, steel fiber were obtained as per relevant Indian standard specification. The compressive strength of concrete was obtained at 28 days. The mix proportion used was 1: 1.52:1.88 by weight with a water-cement ratio of 0.47. In fresh state properties of SFRC, workability tests present were carried out with indicators of workability i.e, slump, compaction factor and inverted cone test. From the study, it was found that the addition of fibers to the concrete effects the cyclic loading life significantly under flexural cyclic loading. The variability in the cyclic loading life of specimen is quite large as expected in any cyclic loading test programme. The ultimate failure followed almost immediately after the first crack.

143. Studies on ore mineralogy of placer ilmenite from parts of east coast of India

Abstract Placer ilmenites from three deposits of Andhra Pradesh coast have been investigated for their ore mineralogy. The deposits studied are Kakinada, Bhimunipatnam, and Srikurmam. Standard ore mineralogical methodology adopted for the preparation of polished sections of placer ilmenite grains from the three deposits. The detailed study of these sections under reflected light microscope revealed that the ilmenites from Kakinada are devoid of exsolutions whereas the ilmenites from other two deposits have indicated exsolved phases in the grain level textures, these phases are mainly Ilmenau-hematite, hemo-ilmenite and exsolved phases of rutile. The grain level textures or exsolved phases observed are 1) Homogenous ilmenites, 2) Ilmenites with simple Exsolutions, 3) Ilmenites with complex Exsolutions, 4) Irregular forms, 5) Dispersion or emulsion texture, 6) Lamellar Texture, 7) Skeletal Texture, 8) Worm like lamellae 9) Myrmekitic or Graphic Exsolutions and, 10) Alteration textures. Their presence will have implications for the processing of ilmenites. Because of the fact that the hematite phases in the ilmenite grain will make the ilmenite more iron-rich and thus may result from some processing problems as well as reduced titanium recovery.

148. Air pollution modelling

Industrial chimney releases pollutant to the environment which causes air pollution. As an air pollutant is transported from a source to a potential receptor the pollutant disperses into the surrounding air so that it arrives at a much lower concentration than it was on leaving the source. Air pollution modeling helps to determine the mathematical relationship between the effects of source emission of pollutant on ground level concentration. Many dispersion models have been developed and used to estimate the downwind ambient concentration of air pollutants from sources such as industrial plants, vehicular traffic or accidental chemical release. Air Pollution emission plume i.e., the flow of pollutant in the form of smoke released into the air. Throughout many dispersion models, Gaussian Dispersion Models perhaps the oldest (circa 1936) and perhaps the most commonly used model type. The primary algorithm used in Gaussian modeling is the Generalized Dispersion Equation for a continuous point source plume. This paper reviews the air pollution modeling which relates the effects of source emission on ground level concentration by mathematical equations and terminology.

154. Corporate social responsibility or collective social responsibility– In Indian context

Who is Corporate? Is it the Board of Directors or the employees? Corporate Social Responsibility to be a success has to be a Collective Social Responsibility as well. If CSR is perceived as something confined to the Board Rooms, its effectiveness may be seriously hampered. Because CSR is not just about spending money or showing on records that money has been spent. It is a great opportunity for each and every person of an organization to reach to the society and give it back a bit of what we always take from it. With the change in The Companies Act, 2013 vide section 135, a paradigm shift has been brought by the Government in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Companies meeting certain criteria are now compulsorily required to allocate and spend 2% of the Net Profits on CSR. This article tries to explore the CSR domain and its relationship with the HR department. What is the role of HR department in making CSR a real success is the research question studied in this research? Isn’t some kind of fundamental attitudinal change on the part of the employees a must for ensuring genuine CSR is an area that has been probed.

155. Comparative analysis of various means of rural electrification in India

Economic development of rural India is the key for India to become Global Economic Super Power. But rural India would not flourish economically to its full strength until it gets electrified. The rural electrification in India gathers its first big momentum with the launch of Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) in April 2005. In recent years schemes like Deendayal Upadhyaya, Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) in 2014 and Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (Saubhagya) in 2017 accelerates the process further. It’s not about government schemes only, but rather the various methods of rural electrification that has been in major focus since the late nineties. Once it was only traditional grid extension to electrify rural India. But with the advancement of renewable energy options, mini-grid system and solar home lighting systems has been emerging as potential alternatives also. At present, these three methods i.e. traditional grid extension, mini-grid system, and solar home lighting system are in major focus for rural electrification. Each of them has their own merits and demerits. The present article is basically a relative pro cons analysis of these methods and an initiative to identify at the preliminary level the best suitable option to electrify rural India.

159. Characteristic behaviour of porous concrete and conventional concrete

Porous concrete is made using large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows water to pass through the concrete slab. Porous concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses. It is an important application for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact development techniques used by builders to In the presence of clayey soil, water can be percolated through providing borehole at every 1-2km with the help of drainage system. Water can be filtered and stored as fresh water below the ground. We can also give direction to water specifically according to need. By providing certain angle to the flaky aggregate water which gets drained will make its way to the slope going down towards the sewer line or any other drainage arrangement. This could be useful where soil strata have less water absorption capacity. INTRODUCTION Porous concrete (also called porous concrete, Porous concrete, no fines concrete and porous pavement) is a special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a. Porous concrete is made using large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows water to pass through the concrete slab. Porous concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses. It is an important application for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact development techniques used by builders to protect water quality Porous concrete is a mixture of cement, water and a particular sized coarse aggregate combined to form a Porous structural material. It has a high volume of voids, which is the factor responsible for the lower strength and its lightweight nature. Porous concrete is also called Porous concrete, zero-fines concrete and Porous concrete. • Highly porous allows rapid surface water removal • Reduces risk of flooding • Reduces freeze/thaw attack • Reduces the requirement for more expensive drainage systems • Reduces maintenance costs for stormwater management Pervious concrete has the void content range from 15% to 35% of total volume of concrete which gives higher permeability as the purpose of this concrete. but other hand, higher porosity decrease the amount of compressive strength of pervious concrete than conventional concrete. Use of fine sand at limit from 5% to 10% can give enough structural strength in pervious concrete. But further increment of sand can control the strength properties of pervious concrete The compressive strength of conventional previous is lower than 15 to 20 MPa [4]. But with use of modifications in coarse aggregates can increase strength in range of 12 to 14% than conventional compressive strength Porous concrete is mostly used in non-pavements applications, limited use in pavements applications. This assignment purpose is to assess the suitability for Porous concrete to be used for the construction of road pavements. This will include investigation of current literature on the topic and conducting standard concrete testing on Porous concrete and conventional concrete to determine and evaluate their properties. With the help of tested data a conclusion is made on the usefulness of Porous concrete pavements and it may be determined that further testing is required. CONCLUSION There was a considerable difference in the compressive strength between the concrete samples but this does not affect the outcome as it was the relationships between the characteristics that were assessed. The relationships showed that Porous concrete acts in a manner similar to what was found in the conventional concrete sample. A major difference found was that the Porous concrete deformed more than the conventional sample before failure. This shows that a Porous pavement has the ability to deform under the loading of traffic. The deformation should not affect the performance of the pavement providing its capacity is not exceeded. Porous concrete is a viable material that has the potential to replace the use of traditional concrete pavements in situations where heavy traffic is limited, such as car parks, residential streets and driveways. More widespread applications may be possible if methods of reducing the traveling that occurs within the top aggregate are found. The varying compressive strengths obtained from the different aggregate samples shows that the shape of the aggregate particles used can dramatically affect the strength of the concrete. LITERATURE REVIEW Klemas, 2015)The population in urban areas can grow so fast that stormwater drainage systems are not installed or the increase of impervious surfaces overwhelm the storm water sewage system that is in place Krishna Raju et al (1975) focused on the optimum water content for Porous concrete. It was determined that for the particular aggregate-cement ratio there is a narrow range for the optimum water-cement ratio. This water-cement ratio was imperative to gain the maximum possible compressive strength. A higher than ideal water-cement ratio would cause the cement paste to drain from the aggregate particles. Alternatively, a water-cement ratio too low would stop the cement paste from adhering sufficiently to the aggregate. When the optimum water-cement ratio was not obtained, sufficient compaction could not be achieved, further compounding the loss of compressive strength. Abadjieva et al (1997) investigated the influence of the aggregate-cement ratio on the tensile and flexural strength of Porous concrete. This study only assessed aggregate-cement ratios ranging from 6:1 to 10:1. The highest strengths were obtained with an aggregate-cement ratio of 7:1 and the strength decreased with an increasing aggregate-cement ratio. He found that the tensile and flexural strengths of Porous concrete were considerably lower than those obtained from conventional concrete, but he could not explain why the sample with the highest strength had a ratio of 7:1. Baoshan Huang(2009)[4] carried out the experiment on pervious concrete with use of latex polymer to improve the strength properties. With use of latex, natural sand and fibre they evaluated the effect of polymer modification on mechanical and physical properties of PMPC. Based on results , it was possible to produce pervious concrete mixture with acceptable permeability Objectives of the Proposed work 1. find out durability, properties of Porous concrete. 2. To conclude impact resistant of Porous concrete asphalt road. 3. To compare the properties of Porous concrete with the existing concrete roadway. 4. To find the Strength of Porous concrete. EXPERIMENTAL WORK 4.2 Test Methodology This project is focused predominantly on the use of Porous concrete as a road pavement material. As this is a comparison between Porous concrete pavements and conventional concrete pavements, there is a requirement that the tests being conducted can occur on both samples. The test procedure included the initial steps of deciding on the tests to be conducted and choosing a number of aggregate-cement ratios for the Porous concrete. This was followed by conducting the preliminary mix design and compressive strength tests on these samples to determine the mix that performed most successfully. 4.3 Concrete Tests The tests that were conducted had to provide a complete picture of all the characteristics of the concrete in both the wet and hardened state. For this reason, it was proposed that the testing incorporate aggregate testing to determine the potential effect of the aggregate shape on the performance of the Porous concrete. This was followed by conducting workability tests like the slump and compacting factor tests on the wet concrete sample. The hardened concrete tests proposed for the project were compressive strength and indirect tensile tests. This testing includes determining the void ratio and assessing the permeability of the Porous concrete. 4.4 Mix Design The mix design in this case was the determination of the ratio of aggregate, cement and water that possessed the most favorable properties. For this particular situation trial mixes were designed. The mixes were determined from previous literature and particular mixes used by some companies. There are only three constituents of Porous concrete that can be considered and varied: aggregate, cement and water content. 4.5 Conventional Concrete There was no mix design undertaken for conventional concrete, since the strength of certain mixes is readily known. This meant that no trials were required to be carried out. When conducting the tests to determine the properties of a conventional concrete. 4.6 Porous Concrete The mix designs for Porous concrete were obtained from printed articles. There were a large number of different mixes that are currently being used for a whole range of applications. Aggregate Cement Water 7 1 0.3 5 1 0.3 4.2 1 0.3 4.6 1 0.23 Table 4.1 – Mix Proportions used for Porous Trial Mixes 4.6.3 Mixing Process Figure 4.1 – Mixing of no fine concrete 4.6.5 Result and Analysis Half the samples were tested for compressive strength and indirect tensile strength at 14 days. The remaining small and large samples were tested for 28 day compressive strength. The results of those tests can be found in the table below. 14 Day Strength 28 Day Strength Aggregate- Cement- Water ratio Compressive Strength (MPa) Indirect Tensile Strength(MPa) Compressive Strength (MPa) Compressive strength of large cylinders (MPa) 8:1:0.2 4.29 1.54 3.25 6.67 4.29 3.61 6:1:0.3 6.68 1.62 7.54 5.33 7.22 7.34 4.5:1:0.3 7.34 2.29 11.72 7.62 7.78 12.88 4.8:1:0.26 8.81 1.53 6.41 5.25 8.41 6.38 Table 4.2 – The data collected from the trial mixes 4.7 Summary The Porous concrete mix design found that an aggregate-cement-water mix of 4.5:1:0.3 produced the highest compressive strength out of the different mix proportions trialed. Since the highest compressive strength was found in the 4.5:1:0.3 mix, it was used for the remainder of the testing in this project. 4.8 Sieve Analysis Sieve analysis is a method of determining the grading of a particular aggregate or a mixture of aggregates. The sieve analysis is carried out in a mechanical sieving machine to provide a more consistent result and achieve much greater accuracy. The sieves used vary in size but consecutive sieves used are smaller in aperture as you move down the stack. There are three different methods for undertaking a sieve analysis. Two wet analysis methods can be used, one with alcohol and the other with water. The third method is dry analysis, which can only be used for granular particles larger than 125 m. 4.11 Compressive Strength • The compressive strength tests are conducted to ensure a minimum strength is achieved by the particular mix. Cylinder and cube testing are methods of determining the compressive strength. Both methods of determining compressive strength will be used as it may be difficult to achieve a good result when using the cylinders. 4.13 Indirect Tensile Test The tensile strength of concrete cannot be measured directly. This leads to the need to determine the tensile strength through indirect methods. The indirect tensile test is also referred to as the ‘Brazil’ or splitting test, where a cylinder is placed on its side and broken in the compression machine. This test can also be used to determine the modulus of elasticity of the concrete sample.

161. Study on road accident and improved safety measures of road accident

Road accidents are an outcome of the interplay of various factors, some of which are the length of the road network, vehicle population, human population and adherence/enforcement of road safety regulations etc. Road accident causes injuries, fatalities, disabilities, and hospitalization with severe socio-economic costs across the country. Road traffic injuries cause considerable economic losses to victims, their families, and to nations as a whole. Almost 90% of the world's fatalities on the roads occur in low- and middle-income countries, even though these countries have approximately half of the world's vehicles. Half of those dying on the world’s roads are “vulnerable road users”: pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Without action, road traffic crashes are predicted to rise to become the 7th leading cause of death by 2030.

166. A soft switching dual flyback DC-DC converter for renewable energy applications

The world’s total energy consumption is higher than its production. With respect to the efficiency, it is known that the conventional energy sources say fossil fuels, is used much more than the non-conventional energy sources. Due to the over-consumption of energy from fossil fuels, after few years it may extinct and thousands of years are needed to produce fossil fuels. Hence, non-conventional energy sources must be used as an alternative source of energy production. One of the renewable energy sources which are available in bulk is solar. But the energy production from solar is not as efficient as that of fossil fuels. Hence, a DC-DC converter has to be built to enhance the solar power. A DC-DC Flyback converter with soft-switching is been built which increases the output voltage of the solar power depending upon the Flyback transformer ratio.

170. Design of low power delay efficient Vedic multiplier using reversible gates

In early days of computers, multiplication was implemented generally with a sequence of addition, subtraction and shift operations. There exist many algorithms proposed in the literature to perform multiplication, each offering different advantages and having the trade-off in terms of delay, circuit complexity, area occupied on-chip and power consumption. Latency is the major issue of computing a function. Simply it’s a measure of how long the inputs to a device are stable is the final result available on outputs. Throughput is the measure of how many multiplications can be performed in a given period of time. The multiplier is not only a high delay block but also a major source of power dissipation. Normal multiplication process involves generation of partial products, an addition of partial products and finally, total product is obtained. So the performance of the multiplier depends on the number of partial products and the speed of the adder. The reversible computation is one field which assures zero power dissipation. Thus during the design of any reversible circuit, the delay is the only parameter that has to be taken care of. Hence reversible Urdhva Tiryakbhayam [UT] Multiplier had been proposed for reversible calculations. Vedic multiplier based on the Urdhva Tiryakbhayam algorithms provide the best results in terms of delay, area, and power.

171. Study on road accident and improved safety measures of road accident

Road accidents are an outcome of the interplay of various factors, some of which are the length of the road network, vehicle population, human population and adherence/enforcement of road safety regulations etc. Road accident causes injuries, fatalities, disabilities, and hospitalization with severe socio-economic costs across the country. Road traffic injuries cause considerable economic losses to victims, their families, and to nations as a whole. Almost 90% of the world's fatalities on the roads occur in low- and middle-income countries, even though these countries have approximately half of the world's vehicles. Half of those dying on the world’s roads are “vulnerable road users”: pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Without action, road traffic crashes are predicted to rise to become the 7th leading cause of death by 2030. There are a total of 1, 03,933 km of National Highways in India and out of the total length of 1, 03,933 km of National Highways, 57,511 km is with the State Public Works Departments (State PWDs), 32,155 km with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), 1616 km with NHIDCL and 4,550 km with Border Roads Organization (BRO), balance length of 4,642 km is yet to be entrusted to the executing agencies. Although National Highways constitute nearly about 2 percent of the total road network as on 31st December 2015, they carry 40 percent of the total road traffic. The capacity of National Highways in terms of handling traffic (passenger and goods) needs to be in pace with the industrial growth. India has one of the largest road networks of over54.72 lakh km. It comprises of National Highways, Expressways, State Highways, and Major District Roads, Other District Roads and Village Roads as shown below.

174. Determination of eye end for natural fiber reinforced hybrid composite mono leaf spring

The automobile industry has shown interest in the replacement of conventional materials with composite due to its property of high strength ratio. Reducing weight while increasing or maintaining the strength of the product is highly important to research issue in the modern world. For this purpose, the material selected was jute fiber and carbon fiber in Epoxy resin.  Present work aims at determining the suitability of jute fiber reinforced hybrid composite to replace conventional multi-leaf spring. Various combination of jute fiber and carbon fiber in the epoxy resin is analyzed with respect to deflection. For this, a parabolic mono leaf spring is modeled in solid edge software and analyzed using simulation tool FEA. As eye end plays a pivotal role in attaching the leaf spring to the frame and determining is the capability to carry loads the spring is modeled with the eye end. Here again, two different possibilities are analyzed. In one case steel eye end is bolted to the Natural fiber reinforced hybrid composite (NFRHC) mono-leaf spring and in another, the eye end is made from the same composite. The two types are then statically and dynamically analyzed using ANSYS software. It is found that NFRHC leaf spring with steel eye end bolted to it has more stresses and lower strain energy compared to bonded eye end NFRHC leaf spring. While the Natural frequency of composite leaf spring is higher than the conventional leaf spring resonance will be reduced Hence NFRHC spring with bonded eye end is considered a suitable replacement with a weight reduction of 80% from that of conventional steel leaf spring.  

175. Removal of ammonical nitrogen from industrial effluent

Ammonia removal from wastewater has become a worldwide emerging concern as ammonia proves to be toxic to aquatic species and also causes eutrophication in the natural water environment. Nitrogen compounds in our effluent have been removed by means of biological approaches(micro-organisms). Based on the microbial nitrogen cycle many biological technologies and processes have been developed and implemented for nitrogen removal from wastewater, such as de-nitrification, nitrification and by the use of biological species. However, with the effluent discharge standards have become more stringent (<10mg total nitrogen/L), conventional processes cannot meet the new requirements. We have removed the amount of nitrogen with the help of bacteria such as Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira. The limit of discharging nitrogen is 50ppm into the rivers. So by using these bacteria, our aim will be fulfilled.

192. Applying machine learning in video monitoring of cattle

Monitoring cattle behavior by using latest technologies such as GPS or Video camera is beneficial in understanding the behavioral patterns such as mating habits and early detection of diseases. The need for technologically assisted means becomes more important when a number of cattle become large. Commercial cow dairies, beef farms, sheep and goat farms etc normally have thousands of animals to be economically viable. Considering the volume of cattle and non-availability of sufficiently cheap trained labor to monitor the animals, often results into late detection of disease, which it might result into spreading of them in a larger cattle population, this might cause a large amount of cattle deaths or huge expenses on controlling the disease.  I suggest a system for cattle behavioral monitoring by using multiple video cameras in whole grazing area and in animal sheds, where farm animals can be continuously monitored. I also suggest a low-intensity laser pointing system coupled with a monitoring system to easily and quickly identify the animals requiring attention.

195. Analysis on effect of ball burnishing processes of EN24 Steel

In the quality assurance of machine components, the so-called finishing and super finishing processes have important roles. During recent years, the post-machining cold forming methods such as burnishing, shot peening and others have occupied a very important place in the industry. Burnishing, which is one of the effective methods used to improve the surface layer properties, is essentially a cold forming process in which the raised micro-irregularities on the surface layer are plastically moved and pressed into the microcavities. The process is carried out with a highly polished ball or roller type tool which is traversed by force over a rotating workpiece. Machines normally used for burnishing operation can be drill presses, lathes, boring machines, and automatic bar or chucking machines. The process of burnishing can be done on parts which are turned, bored, reamed or ground. Any ductile or malleable material with hardness less than 40 HRC can be successfully burnished. Although diamond burnishing machines are available for finishing material harder than 40 HR. the burnishing process is used to improve the shape of components besides producing a good surface finish. Quite the opposite, the burnishing tool will not correct deviations from roundness or Straightness to any degree. In this work, an attempt is made to compare the results of ball burnishing (in abrasive paste conditions). The parameters taken into consideration are burnishing speed, burnishing feed, burnishing force, ball material and number of passes. Mathematical models have been developed in terms of surface roughness and surface hardness for ball burnishing process.

197. Design, development and experimental studies of downdraft gasifier

Fossil fuels are the major source of energy but the quantities of these are limited and use of these causes greenhouse effect by net addition of CO2 to earth atmosphere and also there is an issue of scarcity of fossil fuels (i.e. Petrol, LPG, and CNG) in the world. Especially in developing country like India, fossil fuel price is also very high. So, current objective is to find a substitute for a fossil fuel. Before the existence of fossil fuel, biomass was the only source of energy which was understood by mankind and utilized as a fuel. Gasification of biomass allows overcoming these issues. Energy extraction from biomass with considering environmental aspect is a challenge. Gasification is thermochemical process which converts biomass into synthesis gas (“syngas”). Syngas mainly comprises of Hydrogen (H2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which has the capability to further burnout and releases energy. Syngas can be used for power production, heating application, and liquid fuel production. There are several reactors available for gasification process; present study is focused on downdraft gasifier reactors. It is focused on the production of syngas and effect of various parameters like equivalence ratio, the moisture content of biomass wood used on a composition of syngas. Therefore, the intention is to produce a substitute gaseous fuel syngas from biomass by using fixed bed downdraft gasifier.

206. Maternal parenting quality: It’s effect on infant mental health

Early years of life are highly influenced by the quality of relationships with parents, which have a lasting impression on future mental health. The parenting quality of infants those who were ‘normal/ at low risk’ and those who were ‘at risk’ and its effect on the mental health of infants was studied on a sample of 97 mother-infant dyads from rural and urban Dharwad, Karnataka, India. The parent-child interactions during play (with available play materials) were videotaped for 12-15 minutes duration at their home. The parenting quality was assessed using Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale by Comfort and Gordon (2006) which measures three constructs of parenting viz. building relationships, promoting learning and supporting confidence. The mental health of infants was measured using Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Socio-emotional by Squires et.al (2002) and the socioeconomic status (SES) was measured using SES Scale developed by Agarwal et.al (2005). The results revealed that the mothers of infants at ‘low risk’ were high on parenting quality. Child characteristics such as age and ordinal position, maternal characteristics such as age, education, occupation and age at marriage significantly predicted the infant mental health (37%). The maternal parenting quality alone predicted infant mental health (5%) which was in-turn correlated to maternal age, education, occupation, and SES. Hence there is a great need to provide intervention to mothers of infants who are ‘at risk’ and also to those mothers who are low on parenting quality so that the future generation blooms without any stressors that can damage the infant mental health.

210. Statistical approach to study the lithostratigraphic sequence in the Proterozoic Kolhans

Lithofacies succession in the Proterozoic Kolhan Group has been studied statistically using modified Cross-Association Analysis, Markov chain model, and Entropy function. The lithofacies analysis based on the field descriptions and their vertical packaging has been done for assessing the sediment depositional framework and the environment of deposition. Six lithofacies arranged, in two genetic sequences, have been recognized within the succession. The result of Markov chain and cross-association analysis indicates that the deposition of the lithofacies is in the Markovian and non-cyclic process and represents asymmetric fining- upward. The chi-square test has been done to test for randomness in hypotheses for lithofacies transition at the confidence level of 95%. The entropy analysis has been done to evaluate the randomness of occurrence of lithofacies in a succession. Two types of entropies are related to every state; one is relevant to the Markov matrix expressing the upward transitions (entropy after deposition), and the other, relevant to the matrix expressing the downward transitions (entropy before deposition). The total energy regime calculated from the entropy analysis showing maximum randomness, suggests that changing pattern in the deposition has been a result of rapid to the steady flow. This results from a change in the depositional pattern from deltaic to lacustrine deposit and sediment bypassing that finally generated non-cyclicity in the sequence.

211. Battery-ultracapacitor hybrid system for electric vehicles using new bidirectional quadratic DC-DC converter

Hybrid energy storage system is used with the objective of taking advantage of the best characteristics of each device, creating a system that is superior, than any of the devices used alone. Due to operational requirements of distributed generation systems, energy storage devices like batteries and super-capacitors, need bidirectional DC-DC converters to allow charge or discharge according to with the necessary conditions. A new battery-ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage system is proposed for electric vehicles. The main objectives of using ultra-capacitors in alongside batteries are: improving performance, increase the system efficiency and extend the battery life. In many applications, conventional bidirectional converters are inadequate since the specified range of input voltages and the specified range of output voltages call for an extremely large range of conversion ratios. A new bidirectional quadratic converter with high voltage gain in both step-down and step-up operation modes is used along with the ultra-capacitor. This converter is also characterized by a simple control technique since it is only necessary to control one power semiconductor for each mode. The additional power semiconductors remain always on or always off. In this project, an Ultra Capacitor is integrated with the battery in an Electric Vehicle using the new bidirectional quadratic buck-boost converter to improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle system and enhancing the battery life. The system model and the implemented control strategy has been simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The hardware of the proposed system is made. The control strategy is implemented using TMS320F28027.

In this converter, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) of the main switches and Zero Current Switching (ZCS) of the auxiliary switches are always achieved by utilizing an active snubber which consists of auxiliary switches, diodes, an inductor, and a capacitor. In addition, by utilizing this active snubber, there is no reverse recovery problem induced by the poor dynamic performance of the MOSFETs body diode. Moreover, by adjusting according to loads, it is possible to achieve optimized overall efficiency throughout the whole loading range. This system is analyzed by the simulation in MATLAB/SIMULINK 2017. Hardware is implemented using dsPIC30f2010 microcontroller for 20W and 20 kHz and results are verified.

The scarcity of fossil fuel and the increased pollution leads to the use of Electric Vehicles (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) instead of conventional Internal Combustion (IC) engine vehicles. In EVs and HEVs, a battery is used as the main power source, so that battery charger is treated as the core technology. Battery charger based on a unidirectional non-isolated boost power factor correction (PFC) converter for electric vehicles (EV) is introduced here. This non-isolated high gain boost PFC converter automatically balances the output voltages for an unbalanced load without the need for any additional control strategy or auxiliary circuit. For EV charging application one of the important factors is that the battery chargers should consume sinusoidal current with controlled power factor for contributing to the power quality in the future Smart Grids and high voltage gain for charging the battery. This converter can improve the power quality and can control the output voltage according to the demand of the battery. Due to these advantages, it can be used for electric vehicle charging application. Fuzzy control has been used for switching pulse generation in the converter. The topology has been simulated in MATLAB2014a and the various waveforms were analyzed. The control circuit was implemented using dsPIC30F2010. An experimental prototype of the converter was set up and the results were verified.

215. A parametric study of blended cement

Development of infrastructure play vital role in the economic development of any country. Our country is unable to complete the targeted length of roads as the cost of construction is increasing at an alarming rate due to increasing cost of construction materials. Partial or full replacement of conventional materials by suitable waste materials results in reduced construction costs and also helps in safe disposal of waste. Researchers have performed studies on utilizing waste materials such as Crusher Dust. Zink slag, Copper slag, scraps tires, etc.In pavement construction.

Various mixes were developed for paving concrete, which aimed to meet the required specification provided by the (MORTH) . To address the strength and toughness, both closed-loop compression and flexure tests were conducted. The results were compared with the control concrete specimens prepared using the current mix design procedures of the IS : 10262. Test results indicated that up to 25% cement could be replaced by blending coal fly ash, resulting in high strength. The strength of concrete with 25% fly ash was higher than both the control concrete and the concrete containing 15% fly ash. At 25% cement replacement, the strength of M40 grade concrete exceeded 52 MPa in the lab with higher slump. The strength of concrete increased due to better particle packing by the inclusion of fly ash as a partial replacement of sand and cement as compared to control concrete. Also since workability is increased. There is further scope of reduction of water, which will further reduce the required quantity of cement. The results also indicated 13% higher flexural strength by the inclusion of as a partial replacement of sand, as compared to control concrete. The proposed mix design can save up to 103kg.

One of the most dangerous attacks is Denial-of-Service (DoS). It’s a kind of volumetric attack. Proposed a framework to evaluate the network’s performance under this attack with various network parameters. Among all the network attacks, the Distributed Denial of service (DDoS) attack is easier to carry out, more harmful, hard to be traced and difficult to prevent. So, this threat is more serious. The DDoS attack makes use of many different sources to send a lot of useless packets to the target in a short time, which will consume the target’s resource and make the target’s service unavailable. The bots may be either themselves malicious users that have been preliminarily infected (e.g., worms and /or Trojans).

233. Fair cooperative protocols based on energy harvesting relays

The cooperative communication becomes an important topic in the field of a wireless communication network to improve the reliability and speed of communication over long-distance and curve bed surface. As the distance is increasing between transmitter and receiver, the transmitter RF power requirement goes up to maintain the required SNR. The cooperative communication is an alternative way to fulfill this requirement with the help of relaying techniques. There is a number of research articles have been published in the area of cooperative communication. The major research works have been carried out the AF, DF and CF protocols. Future generations of cellular communications require higher data rates and a more reliable transmission link with the growth of multimedia services while keeping the satisfactory quality of service, Multiple inputs multiple output (MIMO) antenna systems have been considered as an effective approach to address these demands by offering significant multiplexing and diversity gains over single antenna systems without increasing bandwidth and power. Although MIMO systems can unfold their huge benefit in cellular base stations, they may face limitations when it comes to their deployment in mobile handsets. To overcome this drawback, relays (fixed or mobile terminals) can cooperate to improve the overall system performance in cellular networks. Cooperative communications can effectively combat the severity of fading and shadow through the assistance of relays.

Base materials that meet specifications are getting more difficult to get in many regions of the United States. As a result, higher quality materials have to be hauled long distances. This act would significantly increase the costs associated with roadway construction and subsequent maintenance and rehabilitation. Low quality or out-of-specification materials are usually available from local sources. If through appropriate treatment of the materials or/and structural design, the optimum use of local materials can be permitted, the construction can be accelerated and significant monetary benefits can be realized Most of the pavement design guidelines are based on the assumption that aggregates are important ingredients of pavement structure. However, availability of good quality aggregates may be a constraint in some locations. To transport good quality aggregates from long distance may not be economically feasible. Due to the excessive investment and maintenance cost, new methods of design had to be sought and new building materials are introduced. Some researchers tried with soil, which is available everywhere. The engineering properties of soil were modified using certain treatment. At the same time various waste products are created by several industrial plants. These waste products could be used in the road construction projects after following certain treatment procedure. By treating natural soil or fly-ash, or by addition of certain materials to it, new road construction Each highway was divided into three sections with different materials in the subbase and base layers, such as fine lateritic soil, fine lateritic soil stabilized with lime, and a mixture of fine lateritic soil and crushed rock. The compaction characteristics were evaluated in laboratory tests. From the time the segments were constructed (in 1998 and 2000) until 2001, the stress-strain behavior of the paving structures was evaluated by in situ tests, such as the plate-bearing, Benkelman beam, and falling weight deflect to meter tests. From the results, conclusions were drawn about which of the chosen materials showed the best performance in mechanical behavior.

236. Review on image watermarking based on LBP transform technique

In this review paper, we describe a digital image watermarking technique applying local binary patterns (LBP). Local binary patterns are best known for their rugged texture defining capabilities and digital watermarking applied in proving the copyright of a multimedia content. In this work, we study an LBP synthesis or inverse LBP identical process and its suitability to the digital image watermarking. The LBP synthesis process varies the near pixels values so that the LBP measured from these pixels is the desired value that we want to synthesize. This procedure takes into account the requisition of a digital image watermarking such as robustness and imperceptibility to watermark removal attacks. Due to the character of LBP synthesis, it is necessary that only a few pixels of a provided block is changed to embed the watermark. The simulation output shows that the technique is rugged to the rotation, JPEG compression, and scaling attacks. This LBP synthesis procedure could also be utilized to watermark sensor data for justifying the ownership. We are positive that this work would progress to a new research direction invalidation of digital content. In this work, a binary watermark is embedded into the image blocks by changing the neighborhood pixels conferred to the LBP pattern. However, various image blocks can have the similar LBP pattern, which can lead to false detection in watermark extraction procedure. In different words, one can change the host image deliberately without affecting its watermark message. In addition, there is no encryption procedure before watermark embedding, which leads to another potential security issue. To explain its weakness, two special copy-paste attacks are suggested in this paper, and several experiments are organized to prove the effectiveness of these attacks. To solve these issues, an enhanced semi-fragile watermarking based on LBP operators is conferred.

237. Hybrid technique for better noise removal to enhance edge detection

Edge detection technique is used to detect the edge of the image. But before edge detection the image must be free from noise. The solution for removal of image and image recovery is image de-noising models which give better solution to remove the possible pixel noise from the target image matrix. The image data is taken in the form of matrix data (2-D, 3-D or N-D), which is processed in the different dimensions with various practices in order to remove (eventually fix) the noise pixels. In this paper, the weight of the pixel is taken and covariance is calculated in the 3x3 pixel blocks. This algorithm does the cross-validation and checks the best fitness value of the pixel. Then the image is enhanced by using enhancement technique. Then the edges of the image are taken by using edge detection technique. The performance of proposed model has been estimated under various experiments. The results are found improved for all of the dataset images on the basis of PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) and SSIM (structural similarity) based parameters.

Identification of faults in dynamic structures and components are a significant aspect of judgment creating about their overhaul and retirement. The existence of cracks which influence the performance of structures as well as the vibrational parameters like modal natural frequencies, mode shapes, modal damping, and stiffness. In the present work, the effect of crack parameters (relative crack location and crack depth) on the vibrational parameters of a cracked cantilever beam are examined by different techniques using numerical method, finite element analysis (FEA), using ANSYS. Finite Element Method has been accomplished to derive the vibration signatures of the cracked cantilever beam. The results obtained analytically are validated with the results obtained from the FEA. The simulations of FEA have done with the help of ANSYS software. Similarly, the Modal analysis is carried out using ANSYS software. Harmonic analysis is done to observe the resonating and anti-resonating peaks for the Un-cracked and cracked cases considered. The stresses induced due to crack are obtained from the static structure analysis done with the help of ANSYS software. The natural frequencies values obtained from all these approaches are observed and the final conclusions are drawn. With the increase in crack depth, there is an increase in natural frequency. When the distance of crack from fixed end is increased there is an increase in natural frequency.

240. A mapping study on test case selection based on nature-inspired algorithms

After delivery of software product for modification, in order to correct faults or for improving the performance or other attributes, we calculate software maintenance. For this there is the need for regression testing, regression testing is used to check that no upcoming errors have been found throughout the maintenance phase. The abundant number of test suites consist of some repetitions/redundancies as the same fault/error may be covered by many test cases. Hence, it is recommended/advisable to decrease/reduce the test suite. Test case selection is one of the techniques used for reducing the number of test cases by selecting only those test cases from test suite which can detect all those faults which were detected by the whole test. This paper calculates the execution/performance of two metaheuristic algorithm – Cuckoo search and Bat algorithm for selecting test cases. Performance evaluation deciding factors are no. of faults detected and execution time. Results are achieved by conducting experiments on a large scale.

Most doors are controlled by persons with the use of keys, security cards, password or pattern to open the door. The aim of this paper is to help users for improvement of the door security of sensitive locations by using face detection and recognition. The face is a complex multidimensional structure and needs good computing techniques for detection and recognition. This paper is comprised mainly of three subsystems: namely face detection, face recognition and automatic door access control. Face detection is the process of detecting the region of the face in an image. Viola jones method is used for face detection in ‘opencv’ technique and face recognition is employed by using the RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus). Face Recognition based on RANSAC. If a face is recognized i.e., present in the database, it is known, and else is unknown. The door automatically opens for the known person by matching with known database image. On another side, for an unknown person, the image will be sent through Google Cloud Messaging to the owner’s Android app and based on owner command the door will be open or closed. Although many preliminary images are used, probabilistic efficiency cannot be decreased predominantly. Therefore, face recognition using OpenCV using Android can be more useful for door security system than any other face recognition techniques.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of machining parameters on the Material Removal Rate and Surface Roughness in CNC Turning by implementing Taguchi technique. Based on the Taguchi method, turning experiments were designed and conducted on Nylon rods. CNC Turning is a machining process which is used for removing the unwanted material from the cylindrical surfaces of the workpiece. In this era of manufacturing, Material Removal Rate (MRR) and surface roughness qualities are of primary concern. Taguchi method has been employed with an L36 orthogonal array. Four cutting parameters namely cutting speed, feed, depth of cut and Insert Nose Radius is selected. Two different values are selected for insert nose radius and three values are selected for each of the other parameters. Turning operations are performed for maximum Material Removal Rate and minimum surface roughness response values. The material selected for machining is Nylon which is a thermoplastic material and the tools used for machining are of rigid Cast Iron with solid carbide inserts and AP68 servo oil is used as the coolant. Material Removal Rate is calculated for 36 experiments and surface roughness values are measured. Taguchi method in MINITAB software is used for optimization and the optimum values of the four parameters namely cutting speed, feed, depth of cut and insert nose radius to obtain a combination of higher material removal rate and lower surface roughness.

260. Retinex processing for automatic image enhancement using wavelet transformation

Retinex is a method used for image processing. Image processing has a great role in Medical science. Medical images such as MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-Ray has to be processed for proper diagnosis. Retinex technique can be used for the processing of these images. By retinex processing it can provide better dynamic range compression, color consistency and lightness rendition. The different methods proposed by Retinex algorithm include Light Compensation Algorithm in Color Facial Image, Retinex for bridging the gap between color images and the human observation of scenes, Color Image Contrast Enhancement by Retinex, Color Image Enhancement with Adaptive Filter. Single scale Retinex causes halation due to Gaussian filter and it does not preserve the edges. While the multiscale Retinex has a very high computational cost. So in this project, we propose retinex algorithm based on wavelet transformation which has low computational cost, i.e. it takes a lesser amount of time and higher efficiency. The input image is processed by wavelet transform. Here the Gaussian filter and retinex is applied only to the half the resolution of the image. Thus the computational cost is reduced as the number of pixels for processing is reduced and the gaussian surround space can be small. Histogram equalization is applied to improve the visual effect. Moreover, we gain higher entropy by using clipping and gain/offset operation. At last, we compare the proposed output with that of the standard MSR output. The experimental results show that proposed method provides satisfactory image enhancement without halation.

271. To propose and implement cluster based technique to data aggregation for wireless sensor network

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are widely distributed sensors (nodes) to measure the change in physical and environmental conditions by sensing variations in temperature sound pressure etc., to achieve this purpose sensor nodes work together in a predetermined fashion to transfer the data to the main location (generally referred to as sink node). Modern networks are bi-directional making it easy for controlling the sensor activity. These nodes have computational and communication capabilities making them a good choice over conventional cables for operating in varied locations and harsh environments. So the aim of any data forwarding protocol is to conserve energy to maximize the network lifetime. Sensor nodes are capable of performing in-network aggregation of data coming from more than one source. In this paper, we have concentrated on energy consumption issue. Thus protocol using a cluster-based wireless sensor network is more relevant. Each cluster is executed independently and thus we obtain an energy efficient data, which finally is aggregated in a cluster by this the lifetime of the cluster is also increased.

273. Effect of Butea monosperma flower extract on male reproductive organ of albino rats – A biochemical study

One of the important concerns today is the problem of Overpopulation. Population explosion is creating worldwide problems. The population of the world is growing faster than the supplies of food, shelter and fuel. The increase in population is becoming a comprehensive dilemma, causing much pressure on economic, social and natural assets. In the present scenario world’s population has amplified at an alarming rate and is the main cause of poverty. World Health Organization (WHO) noted that majority of the World’s population depends on traditional medicine for primary healthcare. Population control is a significant issue worldwide especially in developing countries like India. Modern reproductive biomedicine has provided several preventive and effective methods of contraceptives for fertility control in male and female but none of which is very safe and without any serious side-effects. This overpopulation can be checked through biological means with special reference to modulation in the human fertility ability. Along with the advancement in the reproductive biomedicine difference hormonal contraceptive pills are developing but all have side effects. There is still a worldwide unmet need for more affordable, effective and practical contraceptives, indicating that further technological advancement or innovations to existing products are required. The oral contraceptive pill for women has had the significant impact on societal dynamics and socio-economic benefits, while the development of male contraceptive options equivalent to female products has proven an elusive goal. The main reason for this is that while sperm production can be controlled by the administration of sex steroids, there is also a decrease in testosterone that requires “add-back” therapy. The World Health Organization suggested that practice of use of traditional medicine for the control of fertility, instead of synthetic drugs, as cost-effective management for birth control. For this World Health Organization has given great emphasis on folklore use of the anti-fertility herbs. In the recent years number of plants have been identified and evaluated for their anti-fertility activity. So, formulation of new herbal medicines has become a growing trend in modern on-going experiments which includes the use of different plant parts extracts having anti-spermatogenic activities but their exact mechanism of action is not cleared. Initiative has been taken globally to find out the efficiency of herbal products for male contraceptive.

308. Internet of things based intelligent street lighting system for smart city

This project aims for designing and executing the advanced development in embedded systems for energy saving of street lights. Currently, we have a manual system where the street lights will be switched ON in the evening before the sunsets and they are switched OFF in the next day morning after there is sufficient light on the outside[1]. But the actual timing for these lights to be switched ON is when there is absolute darkness. With this, the power will be wasted up to some extent. This project gives solution for electrical power wastage [2]. Also, the manual operation of the lighting system is completely eliminated. The proposed system provides a solution for energy saving. This is achieved by sensing and approaching a vehicle using an IR transmitter and IR Receiver couple. Upon sensing the movement the sensor transmits the data to the microcontroller which furthermore the Light to switch ON [4]. Similarly, as soon as the vehicle or an obstacle goes away the Light gets switched OFF as the sensor senses an object at the same time the status(ON/OFF) of the street light can be accessed from anywhere and anytime through the internet. This project is implemented with the smart embedded system which controls the street lights based on detection of vehicles or any other obstacles on the street.W he never the obstacle is detected on the street within the specified time the light will get automatically ON/OFF according to the obstacle detection and the same information can be accessed through the internet. The real-time information of the street light(ON/OFF Status) can be accessed from any time, anywhere through internet.

311. Stock split and its impact on stock market – Evidence from Indian stocks

The study attempted to assess the impact of the stock split on the stock price, volatility, and liquidity. To do this a sample of 365 companies are considered which has undergone split during the period 2011 to 2017. The paired t-test is carried out for pre and post values of Mean Return, Volatility, Beta, Sharpe’s Ratio, Treynor Ratio, CAPM Return, Abnormal Return, and Liquidity to assess the impact of the split event on the stock performance. Overall results say that there is a drop in stock returns and increase in volatility after the split. There is no significant change in liquidity with the split. But when the analysis is done separately for costly and cheap stocks, it revealed that for costly stocks, there is the drop in returns, there is no further worsening of volatility and significant improvement in liquidity post-split. Thus split is effective to some extent only for costly stocks in terms of increase in the volume of trades after the split. Otherwise, this corporate action is not of any positive impact on wealth creation, volatility or liquidity.

312. Fuzzy theory based resource allocation problem with possibilistic approach: A case study of sandwich factory

Now a day many service industries do not aim the optimal data as in real situation. Many decision making is done using fuzzy data if we want to select the products like mobile, food, laptop, clothes, cars, house, property etc we see the rating or stars i.e. is actually fuzzy data. Most of the service provider asks for the feedback from the customer, those data which they collect sometime in the form of (bad, good, excellent) some time (bad, average, good, excellent) sometime in the form of stars etc. In this chapter, we have formulated the problem of resource allocation problem using triangular and trapezoidal numbers in the objective function. We have deployed possibilistic approach to convert fuzzy problems into single-valued and then linear and exponential membership function is used as tools. Lingo 15 is used to solve the problem. Using different sap parameter optimal solution is obtained with the degree of satisfaction which helps Decision maker to take the decision.

313. Framework for analyzing stress using deep learning

These days most people frequently experience stress and anxiety. Chronic and excessive stress can lead to increase in blood pressure, insomnia, heart attacks or even death. Stress has become a prevailing factor for causing mental illness agencies. The Leacock-Chorodow (LCH) algorithm, an advanced deep learning algorithm along with the WordNet library. If we do not get a control on our stress, it becomes deep-rooted and can seriously interfere with our daily activities. So, it is important to detect stress before it interferes with a person’s well-being. Traditional face-to-face psychological diagnosis and treatment cannot meet the demand of peoples' stress completely due to its lack of timeliness and diversity. Nowadays the influence of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media giants has spread across modern society. People share their daily activities with friends on social media platforms. So, we create a social website where people can interact with their friends and this social media data can be used to analyze user’s stress state. Our model will be useful in developing stress detection tools for health is used to detect the stressed words from a user’s tweet. We subsume two types of attributes namely tweet-level content attributes where we consider each and every tweet or post made by the user and user-scope statistical attribute where the weekly tweet is taken. We propose a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model to incorporate the two types of user-scope attributes to detect users’ psychological stress. Our social website can be used to detect stress based on the user’s interactions with his friends and how active the user is on the social website.
