1. Simulation Implementation of Different Types of Loads for High Gain Single Stage Boosting Inverter

This paper presents simulation implementation of different types of loads inr high-gain single-stage boosting inverter (SSBI) for photovoltaic applications. The two-stage micro inverter first performs dc to dc voltage step up and then converts dc to ac, whereas the single-stage topology has to perform the dc to dc voltage step up, and the dc to a c inversion functions all in one stage. The single stage boosting inverter system employs a Tapped Inductor to attain high-input voltage step up and, thus, allows operation from low dc input. The traditional two-stage approach is costly and has complex topology whereas the Single Stage Boosting Inverter has a simpler topology and a lower component count. The Single Stage Boosting Inverter can achieve high dc input voltage boosting, good dc–ac power decoupling, good quality of ac output waveform, and good conversion efficiency. The simulation results for linear R (Resistive) and RL (Inductive) loads as well as nonlinear RC and nonlinear resistor and saturable inductor loads are shown in this paper.

2. Analysing EOT (extension of time) claim procedure in Indian construction industry along with case study

Project is a sequence of activities having fixed duration. If there is a delay in any activity which lies on the critical path of the project then it will hamper the project completion date and will lead to time overrun. Time overrun is an important factor to judge the success of the project. It may be due to contractor’s fault, employer’s fault, interface contractor’s fault or due to force majeure. There is a need to analyse the cause of delay and if the delay is not due to contractor’s fault than contractor is entitled for the EOT. In India contracts are framed according to CPWD and Military engineering services, hence it has some different approach to claim EOT from FIDIC and other international bodies. Claiming of EOT requires the involvement of different department. This paper discusses the protocols follows in claiming EOT as per Indian law and suggest about the amendments to be taken to eliminate disputes in process of claiming EOT.

3. Modified snack recipe Varagu Tikki for Diabetes Mellitus

Varagu (bhagar) is a well-known millet in India which is generally consumed only during traditional fasting. VARAGU TIKKI (cutlet) is a modification of traditional Aloo Tikki in respect of its nutritional aspect specially for people suffering from diabetes mellitus. The main ingredient used to lower its glycemic index and increase fiber content is Varagu. The additional nutritional benefits are provided by carrot, bengal gram whole and functional foods like flax seeds, curd, coriander leaves. It is a perfect diabetes friendly snack in which varagu provides high fiber that is known to lower blood glucose level. Carrot provides good amount of antioxidants. Flax seeds are a good source of omega 3 fatty acid and soluble fiber that help to prevent fluctuation in blood glucose level. Curd acts as a good binding agent as well as probiotic.These dietary changes were replaced with varagurice, bengal gram flour and carrot hence could be associated with a lower risk of diabetes and might be an appropriate component of recommendations for an overall healthy diet. Based on these facts we could conclude that this modified VARAGU TIKKI is nutrient dense, low calorie, low glycemic index, handy, palatable and attractive. The additional benefit of this snack is its cost effectiveness and could be consumed by all classes of the population and all age groups.

6. The Postwar Novel as Postmodern: Billy Pilgrim’s Imagination and the Critical Tendency Towards Teleology, Slaughterhouse – Five

This paper is an exploration of Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), an early document of American postmodern literature. In particular, this paper attempts to present the critical discussions surrounding this novel as equidistant to the broader theoretical discussions surrounding the concept of postmodernism. My contention is that, in discussing this novel, due in part to the natural teleological and linear tendencies of literary criticism, and despite the professed openness of postmodern thought to conflict, diligent efforts must be made to periodically reassert collapsed possibilities in literature. With this in mind, I approach Slaughterhouse-Five in an effort to, first, demonstrate how critics have diminished the potential meaning of each novel in imposing their own notions of a literary-historical trajectory, and, second, how readings of marginalized characters in this novel can reveal untapped potential for further exploration of the broadest definitions of the project of postmodernism.

7. Wavelet Analytical Study of Solar Wind Proton Density

The solar wind is plasma, i.e., an ionized gas that fills the solar system. It results from the supersonic expansion of the solar corona. The solar wind consists primarily of electrons and protons with a smattering of alpha particles and other ionic species at low abundance levels. The structure of the heliosphere is strongly affected by the protons produced by the photo-ionization of the interstellar neutral hydrogen and by the charge exchange of the hydrogen atoms. The wavelet is a new analytical tool for turbulent or chaotic data to the physics community. It allows detection and characterization of short-lived structures in turbulence. Proton density fluctuations are studied using discrete wavelet transforms.

10. Conversion of RF Signal to Optical Signal Using MZM

In previous proposed system, Radio frequency signal was transmitted through RF system. But the system had some disadvantages like non coherence and system was not efficient. Hence to overcome these drawbacks, RF over Fiber system is proposed. In the proposed system, RF signal is the message signal which is used to modulate the optical signal that has to be transmitted over the optical cable. Mach–Zhender Modulators (MZMs) are used to convert the RF signal to optical signal when the light cannot directly modulate for higher speed, the Lithium Niobate, Mach-Zhender Modulator (LN-MZM) is used, Continuous Wave Laser diode is used as the source and PIN diode is used as optical detector. To transmit the optical signal Polarization-Maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is used, this transmitted signal is detected at receiver by optical detector .Hence in RF over fiber system are small in size, these are flexible and is a very low loss technology using intensity modulation to transmit RF signal.

11. Recovery of RF Signal from Modulated Optical Signal

In previous proposed system, Radio frequency signal was transmitted through RF system. But the system had some disadvantages like non coherence and system was not efficient. This was overcome by using RF to optical domain converter. But that signal has to be recovered by converting the optical signal back to RF signal. This can be done by this system i.e. Optical to RF converter which is having photo detector, TIA and LNA. Here the modulated optical signal is detected by using photo detector, which detect the light signal and convert it to current signal. This current signal is converted to voltage signal and then required amplification is provided by using a LNA. Hence this system is a compact, and efficient system which is to provide a high speed optical to RF conversion.

14. Wavelet Analytical Study of Sulphur Dioxide as an Air Pollutant

Most of the sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere is anthropogenic by-product. It is one of the basic causes of acid rain worldwide. NAAQS set the level of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere for the safety of human health and environment. Breathing of Sulphur dioxide becomes cause of many diseases concerned with respiratory system like Bronchitis, Asthma, etc. In the perspective of human health and environment protection continuous monitoring and analysis has become of great importance. Wavelet is a tool to analyze non-stationary signal and hence wavelet transforms provide excellent analysis of non-stationary time series of SO2 and extracts important information. Daubechies4 wavelet is orthogonal and compactly supportive and therefore, it is useful for multiresolution analysis of SO2 data. Wavelet transforms provide simple and accurate frame work for modelling the statistical behaviour of SO2 variation in the interest of public health and environment protection.

15. Structural Analysis, Material Optimization using FEA and Experimentation of Centrifugal Pump Impeller

In general the Efficiency of a centrifugal pump (ηo) = Mechanical efficiency (ηm) × Volumetric efficiency (ηv). Most of the study has been done in improvement of Hydraulic efficiency but overall efficiency depends on both factors Hydraulic and Mechanical. Mechanical components – for example impeller weight and structure produces a mechanical loss that reduces the power transferred from the motor shaft to the pump or fan impeller. Also strength of the pump reduces due to stress corrosion problems in impeller which can be minimized using alternate material having same/more strength. The modelling of the impeller will be done by using solid modelling software, CATIA. The meshing and boundary condition application will be carried using Hypermesh, it is also used to produce good and optimal meshing of the impeller to obtain accurate results and analysis has been done by using ANSYS. A static analysis on 3HP pump impeller has been carried out to examine the stresses and displacements of the centrifugal impeller. Conventional MS material is replaced with glass fiber composite material. After getting safe results from analysis, model will be fabricated and testing will be done on UTM.

17. Internet of Things Based Real Time Transformer Health Monitoring System

Transformer is one of the important electrical equipment that is used in power system. Monitoring transformer for problem before they occur can prevent faults that are costly to repair and result in a loss of electricity. The main aim of the paper is to acquire real time data of transformer remotely over internet falling under the category of Internet of Things(IOT ). For this real time aspect we take one temperature sensor, one potential transformer and one current transformer for monitoring T, V, I data of the transformer and then send them to a remote location. These three analog values are taken in multiplexing mode and connected to a programmable microcontroller of 8051 family through an ADC 0808. Then the values of all the sensors are sent sequentially as per the frequency of multiplexing of the ADC by Microcontroller. They are then sent directly through an Wi-Fi module under TCP IP protocol to a dedicated IP that displays the data in real time chart form in any web connected PC / Laptop for display in 3 different charts. The real time data is also seen at the sending end LCD display interfaced with microcontroller.

21. Flood Frequency Analysis of Stream Flow in Pakistan Using L- moments and TL-moments

Determination of most appropriate method to obtain probability distribution for data of stream flow for different locations in Pakistan by using statistical models is most important aspect in hydrologic structure. Statistical model building for flood frequency analysis will be used to determining the performance of stream flow. Developing methods that were provide an appropriate expectation of hydrologic events is always fascinating for both hydrologist and statistician, because of its significance in manipulating hydrologic structure and water resource controlling programs. L-moments and TL-moments were used to find the appropriate distribution for the data of stream flow in Pakistan for the analysis flood frequency. The basic purpose of flood frequency analysis is to find best probability distribution by the use of method of L-moments and TL-moments. Parameters of different distributions were predicted by the use of L-moment and TL-moment approach. TL-moments means that the moments are trimmed symmetrically by one conceptual sample. Most appropriate distribution was determined accordance with different goodness-of-fit methods. In addition L-moment as well as TL-moment ratio diagrams will gives us graphical clue of best fit distribution. Different goodness-of-fit test shows that GPA is most appropriate distribution for eight sites, while GLO, GNO and GEV for four, three and two sites respectively. L-moment method of estimation is found to be more suitable for most of the sites to find out the best probability distribution.

Albeit catholic research has been done on Workflow Scheduling, there are not very many edges customized for Cloud environments. For some essential standards of Cloud, for example, flexibility and heterogeneity existing work neglects to meet ideal arrangement. Hence our work concentrates on the booking techniques for logical work process on IaaS cloud. We display a calculation in view of the metaheuristic optimization system where the best of two calculations Ant colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are converged to enhance locally and internationally which limits the general work process time (makespan) and diminishes the cost. Our heuristic is assessed utilizing CloudSim and a few understood logical work processes of various sizes. The outcomes demonstrate that our approach performs better when contrasted with PSO calculation.

25. Indexing Hydrological parameters of Narmada River influenced by Socio biological activities

In an effort to determine the water quality of Narmada River flowing from Moretakka, National Sanitation Foundation water quality index was selected in this piece of work. In support of the work, indexing of River water collected from centre and both left and right catchment areas was conducted between September 2010 and September 2012. The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Water Quality Index (WQI) was one of the analytical tools used to summarize the data. Essentially, the WQI converts the concentration data for nine analytes into one of five water quality classes, ranging from “very bad to excellent”. Based on the WQI values, water quality typically was in the “good” range for the year 2010-11, while its range decreases to “medium” in the following year 2011-12. The sites nearest the centre had the highest water quality rating with significant decreases in water quality occurring in the catchment area, particularly in Left catchment area. Water quality also was significantly impacted by socio biological activities. High total coliform levels (>1600 microorganisms/100 ml) are of particular concern for all the sampling sites.

27. Modified Load Balancing Technique to Improve Performance of MANETs

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks are autonomous and decentralized wireless frameworks. MANETs include mobile nodes that are allowed to move in the network. The load balancing is one of the fields in mobile ad hoc networks that need to be focused upon to improve the performance of the network. If the same path is over utilized for a period, its bandwidth can get used or the energy of the nodes might be drained. This would result in the loss of the data, if data transmission is continued over the same path. This paper takes load balancing of the network into consideration. The load has been monitored by taking into consideration the available bandwidth and packet delivery ratio of the current path, which is being used for data transmission. If the load exceeds the new path is used for packets transmission. The performance of the network was analyzed based on four parameters namely packet delivery ratio, throughput, routing overhead and remaining energy in the network.

35. Shifted Histogram Using Optimal Shift Distance for Images with Entropy Value & Wavelet Decomposition Images

Histogram equalization is a method in image processing of contrast adjustment using the image’s histogram. Histogram equalization automatically determines a transformation function that seeks to produce output images that has a uniform histogram. When automatic enhancement is desired that is good approach because result from this technique are predictable and method is simple to implement. Method used to generate a processed image that has a specified histogram is called histogram matching or histogram specification. In this thesis we applied advance algorithm to enhance the quality of an image and we succeeded and also got the entropy value of image by changing the scaling factor K we got different value and also got different shifted histogram image. In our research work we worked on different level to analyze the effect of algorithm. By changing scaling factor we get different EME and image enhanced significantly from which lot of important information can be recovered.

38. Removing Salt-And-Pepper Noise from Digital Image Using Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter

Every digital image has a two-dimensional mathematical representation of the digital image. Digital image are made out of pixels i.e. picture component. Every pixel speaks to the dark level for highly contrasting photographs at a solitary point in the image, so a pixel can be spoken to by a small speck of particular shading. Image restoration is the process of restoring degraded images which cannot be taken again or the process of obtaining the image again is costlier. We can restore the images by prior knowledge of the noise or the disturbance that causes the degradation of the image. Image restoration is done in two domains: spatial domain and frequency domain. In the spatial domain, the filtering action for restoring the images is done by directly operating on the pixels of the digital image. In our research work different format of the same image will be executed for a different level of noise and then we will analyze which format will be best and besides PSNR two more parameters MSE and IEF also considered. In our research work, our main objective is to remove salt and pepper noise from the image. As in base paper, 30% and 70% salt and pepper noise are removed with PSNR value. But in our dissertation work salt and pepper noise at 30%, 50%, 70%, and 75% are removing with three parameters like PSNR, MSE, and IEF. After the filtering, the image is remapped into spatial domain by inverse Fourier transform to obtain the restored image. Different noise models were studied. Different filtering techniques in both spatial and frequency domains were studied and improved algorithms were written and simulated using Matlab. Restoration efficiency was checked by taking peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and mean square error (MSE) into considerations.

40. Integration of Robust Different Hierarchical Routing Protocol of Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor network is nowadays very popular important in the field of research because the world is now switching faster from wired communication to the wireless communication. In our research work, we have to compare different protocols TEEN, PEGASIS, ECHREP LEACH. It is used in environmental monitoring, habitat monitoring, battlefield etc. WSN is made up of tiny sensor nodes which sense the data and communicate to the base station via other nodes.WSN networks are data-centric rather than node centric. So, main issues in WSN networks are energy consumption of network, the lifetime of a network, delay, latency, quality of service etc.WSN has defined many routing protocols for the network. The main challenge in WSN is to design a routing protocol which gives the maximum energy efficient routing because nodes in a sensor network are equipped with the battery. So, as time passes the battery of nodes will decrease so in turn network lifetime will decrease. There are many routing protocols which are classified as their working and their application to different conditions. This paper describes brief information about routing protocols. The main focus of this paper is to give the comparison of different hierarchical routing protocols. In this Dissertation, we were comparing four routing protocol LEACH, PEGASIS, TEEN and Proposed ECHERP. So we conclude that according to overall performance in hierarchical network ECHERP performance better compare to other routing protocol in WSN.

42. Improvement of Coexistence of LTE Femtocell Network with Dynamic Resource Allocation

In current scenario interference is one of the most challenging problem we are facing in femtocell deployment under the coverage of existing macrocell. Allocation of resources between femtocell and macrocell is essential to counter the effects of interference in dense femtocell networks. Advances in resource management strategies have improved the control mechanism for interference reduction at lower node density, but most of them are ineffective at higher node density. In our research work, a dynamic resource allocation management algorithm for spectrum shared hybrid access is accomplished in femtocell network. In base paper only throughput is represented with FAP but in our research work we set up cognitive radio network (CRN), comparison between power used by Femto cell and macro user and power factor is very important parameters in our daily life and when there is comparison between Femto and macro Femto cell user consume very less power as compared to macro. Besides this in our research work we show the throughput and power used by Femto cell at different floor and result clearly shows that if Femto cell used at same floor then coverage area will be more with respect to that if used at different floor. Power consumption between macro and Femto user shows us that Femto user utilizes very less power as compared to macro user.

43. Simulink Model Design for FSO Communication System for Analysing Of Different Parameters

In our dissertation work, an approach has been made to analyze the effect of free space transfer function by considering various parameters like path loss factor, atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors on the performance of free space optical (FSO) communication system. The performance of the proposed free space optical communication system is studied by developing a MATLAB simulator. In our research work two cases are considered for two different probabilities when binary codes are generated by Bernoulli generator with 0.5 and 0.4. Finally, we evaluated the Bit Error Rate (BER) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) performance of the proposed system varying with different system parameters. The BER is highly degraded on severe atmospheric turbulence condition ever for a short distance of free space channel. The effect of path loss factor due to dense fog is also severe on the BER even though the turbulence effect and free space distance is short. After Bernoulli generator spectrum analyser used to see result in frequency domain and later on both signal are convoluted with Hadmard code to achieve orthogonality criterion and the passed through AWGN channel and 10db SNR also added the both signal are processed with FSO circuit with different parameters condition and finally BER is received on display. FSO communication is latest trend technology and during this lot of problem have to face and one important parameter is that range. Signal cannot be transmitted to long distance if we transmit then BER also increased and due to which communication is not reliable so we required to work on distance and power utilized and atmospheric condition so that data can be transmitted successfully for a long distance

44. Comparative Research Analysis on LTE Techniques to Reduce PAPR in Multi-Carrier Communication Systems

New technologies emerging day by day and main focus to give a better quality of service at low cost. LTE has adopted DFT-spread OFDMA technique as the uplink multiple access schemes which use single carrier modulation and frequency domain equalization. In our research work, we show the PAPR performance of DFT-spreading technique. The performance of PAPR of DFT spreading technique is dependent on the number of subcarriers assigned to each user. In this thesis, a method for PAPR reduction in LTE system has been introduced, which is based on the DFT spread method. DFT spread method is further classified into two methods known as LFDMA (localized FDMA) and IFDMA (interleaved FDMA). It was shown that an interleaved FDMA and localized FDMA perform better than orthogonal FDMA in the uplink transmission where transmitter power efficiency is of great importance in the uplink. LFDMA and IFDMA result in lower average power values due to the fact that OFDM and OFDMA map their input bits straight to frequency symbols where LFDMA and IFDMA map their input bits to time symbols. We conclude that single carrier-FDMA is a better choice on the uplink transmission for cellular systems. Our conclusion is based on the better efficiency due to low PAPR and on the lower sensitivity to frequency offset since SC-FDMA has a maximum of two adjacent users. From results, it can also be concluded that the performance of IFDMA is far better than the LFDMA.

45. Effectively Reconstructing the Routing Paths in Sensor Networks

In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes are usually self-organized or self sorted, delivering data to a central sink in a multi-hop manner. Reconstructing the per-packet routing path enables fine-grained diagnostic analysis and performance optimizations of the network. The performances of existing path reconstruction approaches like MNT, however, goes down rapidly in large scale networks with loss links or failed links. We present Pathfinder, a vigorous path reconstruction method against packet losses as well as routing dynamics. At the node side, Pathfinder exploits temporal correlation between a set of packet paths and efficiently compresses the path information using path difference. At the sink side, Pathfinder infers packet paths from the compressed information and employs intelligent path speculation to reconstruct the packet paths with high reconstruction ratio. We propose a novel analytical model to analyze the performance of Pathfinder. We further calculate Pathfinder compared with two most related approaches using traces from a large scale deployment and extensive simulations by means of graph. Results show that Pathfinder outperforms existing approaches, achieving both high reconstruction ratio and low transmission cost compared to MNT.

49. Novel Fuzzy logic controller based Multivariable Energy Management Strategy for Standalone DC Micro grids

Due to substantial generation and demand fluctuations in standalone green electricity control schemes are becoming crucial for the electricity sharing and voltage regulation functions. The classical power management strategies rent the maximum energy factor monitoring (MPPT) algorithms and rely on batteries in case of possible extra or deficit of strength. However, so as to recognize constant present day-constant voltage (IU) charging regime and growth the life span of batteries, electricity control strategies require being more flexible with the power curtailment feature. The paper proposes a method for the hybrid solar photovoltaic and wind energy device in Battery management for stand-alone applications. Battery charging manner is non-linear, time-varying with an enormous time delay so it is difficult to achieve the best energy management performance by using traditional control approaches. A fuzzy manipulate approach for battery charging or discharging utilized in a renewable power generation system is analysed in the paper. To improve the life cycle of the battery, fuzzy control manages the desired state of charge (SOC). A fuzzy logic-based controller for use for the Battery SOC manipulate of the designed hybrid system is proposed and in comparison with a classical PI controller for the overall performance validation. The whole designed device is modelled and simulated the use of MATLAB/Simulink Environment.

50. Authorized Deduplication of Files in Cloud Environment

Data deduplication is one of vital information compression procedures for disposing of copy duplicates of rehashing information, and has been generally utilized as a part of cloud storage to lessen the measure of storage room and spare data transfer capacity. To secure the classification of sensitive information while supporting deduplication, the convergent encryption method has been proposed to encode the information before outsourcing. To better ensure information security, this paper makes the primary endeavor to formally address the issue of approved information deduplication. Not quite the same as customary deduplication frameworks, the differential benefits of clients are additionally considered in copy check other than the information itself. We likewise display a few new deduplication developments supporting approved copy check in a half and half cloud design. Security examination exhibits that our plan is secure as far as the definitions indicated in the proposed security show. As a proof of idea, we execute a model of our proposed approved duplicate check plan and direct testbed experiments utilizing our model. We demonstrate that our proposed authorized duplicate check scheme brings about negligible overhead contrasted with normal operations.

51. Fuzzy Enhanced 3-Level Dwt Image Compression

The development of the higher quality and cheaper image acquisition devices has produced steady increases in both resolution and image size, and a greater consequent for the design of efficient compression techniques . Although the storage capacity and transfer bandwidth has grown accordingly in past years, many applications still require compression. Uncompressed multimedia (graphics, video and audio) data requires storage capacity and transmission bandwidth. Despite the frequent progress in mass-storage density, processor speeds, and the performance of digital communication system , demands for data storage capacity and data transfer bandwidth. The amount of data related with visual information is so large that its storage would requires more storage capacity. Storage and/or transmission of such data require large capacity and/or bandwidth, which could be very expensive. In this research work we present a technique which is a combination of DWT technique and enhanced by Fuzzy logic function. The aim is to give a better compression ratio along with increasing the visual perception quality of the image. Fuzzy logic Technique have been used in various areas involving clustering, data aggregation pattern deduction etc. We are using fuzzy logic in this technique to improve the quality of the compressed image resulted from DWT image compression technique.

The present work aims to study the design and analysis of functionally graded layered sandwich beam with viscoelastic core (Polyethylene terephthalate) in high thermal environment. The top layer is functionally graded material (Ceramic S3N4) and stainless steel on the bottom. The report is divided into five chapters. First two chapters give Introduction and Literature survey of various viscoelastic core with Functionally graded material (FGM) that have unique and different properties from any other material. Materials and Methods used are given in chapter three. Chapter four provides details of ANSYS Software where the sandwich beam is subjected to axial dynamic loaded conditions. The viscoelastic core (Polyethylene terephthalate) layers is observed to be at high temperature but other layer of the beam are at normal conditions. The temperature variation is non-linear in viscoelastic core (Polyethylene terephthalate). The effect of various system parameters such as core thickness ratio, compression, expansion, modal structure test, thermal test are analyzed using ANSYS software. The thickness of beam is responsible for their displacement and boundaries for stable and unstable region are considered in this work. It is found that the buckling load of the beam decreases with increase in core thickness parameter, and temperature of top face of functionally graded material. Temperature variation along thickness has negligible effect on buckling load as well as on natural frequency. In this study as frequency of the beam increases deformation starts first in Polyethylene terephthalate layer of the beam. The instability of the beam increases with increase in core thickness parameter and temperature of the top layer.

60. Seismic Analysis of Office Building with Prestressed Flat

High rise building structures are both a necessity and a matter of sophistication and pride for structural engineers. Buildings crossing 25 to 30 storeys are a common phenomenon these days. But what happens to a structure as it crosses these height limits? Forces of nature in the form of earthquakes and cyclones starts playing brutal games with the structures. Higher the structure goes, higher it attracts the forces and wrath of nature in the form of seismic force.
Seismic force, predominantly being an inertia force depends on the mass of the structure. As the mass of the structure increases the seismic forces also increase causing the requirement of even heavier sections to counter that heavy forces. And these heavy sections further increase the mass of the structure leading to even heavier seismic forces. Structural designers are met with huge challenge to balance these contradictory physical phenomena to make the structure safe. The structure no more can afford to be rigid.
This introduces the concept of ductility. The structures are made ductile, allowing it yield in order to dissipate the seismic forces. A framed structure can be easily made ductile by properly detailing of the reinforcement. But again, as the building height goes beyond a certain limit, these framed structure sections (columns) gets larger and larger to the extent that they are no more practically feasible in a structure.
A flat slab is a one-way or two-way system with thickenings in the slab at the columns and load bearing walls called ‘drop panels’. Drop panels act as T-beams over the supports. They increase the shear capacity and the stiffness of the floor system under vertical loads, thus increasing the economical span range.

62. Design and Simulation Result Analysis of Data Aggregation in Ns2 for WSN with Security

Energy efficiency is an important metric in resource constrained wireless sensor networks (WSN). Multiple approaches such as duty cycling, energy optimal scheduling, energy aware routing and data aggregation can be availed to reduce energy consumption throughout the network. This thesis addresses the data aggregation during routing since the energy expended in transmitting a single data bit is several orders of magnitude higher than it is required for a single 32 bit computation. Therefore, in the first paper, a novel nonlinear adaptive pulse coded modulation-based compression (NADPCMC) scheme is proposed for data aggregation. A rigorous analytical development of the proposed scheme is presented by using Lyapunov theory. Satisfactory performance of the proposed scheme is demonstrated when compared to the available compression schemes in NS-2 environment through several data sets. Data aggregation is achieved by iteratively applying the proposed compression scheme at the cluster heads. The second paper on the other hand deals with the hardware verification of the proposed data aggregation scheme in the presence of a Multi-interface Multi-Channel Routing Protocol (MMCR). Since sensor nodes are equipped with radios that can operate on multiple non-interfering channels, bandwidth availability on each channel is used to determine the appropriate channel for data transmission, thus increasing the throughput. MMCR uses a metric defined by throughput, end-to-end delay and energy utilization to select Multi-Point Relay (MPR) nodes to forward data packets in each channel while minimizing packet losses due to interference. Further, the proposed compression and aggregation are performed to further improve the energy savings and network lifetime. Besides this we also applied RSA security algorithm for encryption and decryption.

64. Robust Approach of Compressing Images Using DCT and Analysis of Parameters PSNR, CR

Image compression is one of the tedious tasks in the field of image transmission via internet and to store in binary or digital form on computers and other storage devices. The necessity of bandwidth of channel relies on many aspects like data and size of file to be transferred. Compressing an image is significantly different than compressing raw binary data. If we used general or outdated technique to compression images then result would be not optimal as it should be. This is because images have definitely statistical properties which can be triggered or exploited by encoders which are implemented or design for them. In image we have to give up some fine details for the sake of saving a little more bandwidth or storage space. So we can say that lossy compression technology. In this dissertation compression of digital images are done with the help of DCT. Several encoding technique have also been used together with DCT to improve the performance of compression. A computational analysis of picture quality is also made with respect to compression ratio and PSNR.

67. Classification of copy move forgery and normal images by ORB features and SVM classifier

Today, the characterization of the technological age is done by the digital images spread. They are the most common form of conveying information whether through internet, newspapers, magazines, or scientific journals. They are used as a strong proof against various crimes and as evidence used for various purposes. The modification, capturing or creating of the image has become easier and available with the emergence of means of image editing and processing tools. One of the most important and popular type of image forgery is copy-move forgery in which an image part is copied and then pasted into the same image that has intention of hiding something important or showing a false scene. Because the important properties of the copied parts comes from the same image, such as brightness, noise, and texture which will be compatible with the entire image that makes more difficult for experts for the detection and distinguishing the alteration. Usually, the detecting copy move forgery conventional techniques suffer severely from the time-consuming problem. The evaluation of the improved method had been done using (150) images that was selected from two different datasets, “CoMoFoD” and “MICC-F2000”. Experimental results show that the improved method can accurately and quickly reveal the doubled regions of a tampered image. In addition, greatly reducing the processing time in comparison to the khan algorithm, and the accuracy is kept at the same level. Owing to the availability and technological advancement of the image editing sophisticated tools, there is increase in the loss of authentication in digital images. Thus, this led us to the proposal of different detection techniques that checks whether the digital images are forged or authentic. The specific type of forgery technique is copy move forgery in which widely used research topic is detection under digital image forensics. In this thesis an enhancement of copy move image forgery classification is done by implementing a hybrid features with classification algorithm like SIFT with SVM and EM algorithm and ORB with SVM and EM .The technique works by applying firstly the DCT on an image and then on an resultant image, SIFT is obtained after applying DCT. A supervised learning method is proposed for classifying a copy-move image forgery of TIFF, JPEG, and BMP. The process starts with reducing the color of the photos. Achieve the accuracy more than 90%.

72. Crack Detection in Railway Track Using Image Processing

Computer vision can provide many potential advantages over manual methods of railway track inspection. Great levels of performance can be achieved through the automation of inspection using computer vision systems, as they allow scalable, quick, and cost-effective solutions to tasks otherwise unsuited to humans. At a minimum, railway track components can be objectively and quantitatively inspected, as the system does not suffer from fatigue or the subjectivity inherent with human inspectors. The digital nature of the data collection involved with a computer vision based method, archiving inspection results and trending of the data becomes feasible, leading to more advanced failure prediction models for maintenance scheduling and a more thorough understanding of railway track structure. In this research paper, a computer vision based method is presented. A system has been suggested which can periodically take images of the railway tracks and compared with the existing database of non-faulty track images on a continuous basis. If a fault arises in the track section, the system will automatically detect the fault and necessary actions can be taken, to avoid any mis-happening.

80. Pushover Analysis of Multistory Reinforced Concrete Building

The standard building codes define the significant design requirements to ensure the safety of buildings in a sudden ground movement causing inertial forces in the building. We witness post earthquake effects in many buildings designed as per these codes. Therefore it is important to analyse the building performance before physically constructing it. The performance based design gives you the choice to check the story drift, displacement at the roof level and the capacity before the building fails for certain ground motions. The performance based design ensures the safety for the Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) and Collapse prevention for Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE). For performance-based seismic design, the performance levels described in ASCE 41, Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Building (2007), for both structural and non-structural systems are the most Widely-recognized characterizations. These performance levels are Operational Building Performance Level, Immediate Occupancy Building Performance Level, Life Safety Building Performance Level, Collapse Prevention Building Performance Level. Non Linear Pushover Analysis method considers the nonlinear behaviour of the structure which increases the load taking capacity of the building. It also focuses on ductility of the structure by providing plastic hinges. Pushover analysis is applicable to new and existing structures which can be a good method for retrofitting of structures after its design life is over. It considers target displacement and defining objectives whenever the performance meet the objectives then the damage at that performance level is acceptable.

Honour Killing- A negative aspect of the society which has been practiced in India over the years and has resulted in loss of thousands of lives of innocent young ones. The registered cases in India have increased nine times in 2015 as compared to its past year that is 2014. Most of the time, the killing is by the relatives or family of the young couple whom they think had dishonoured them in society. It is mostly found among Hindu and Muslim families specifically in Northern states such as Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh where people strongly oppose inter caste and love marriages. Bigamy, adultery or even dressing against family culture has ended up killing of the victims. The murders are committed even publically to lesson other people of the community. It is not isolated to rural areas but also to urban areas and has widely spread geographically.

Denial of Service attacks or Distributed Denial of service attacks are a big threat to the internet. Several methods, techniques and proposals are introduced to deal with the attacks but none of it has given a successful result. In this project we aim to design a honey pot to deal with Denial of service attacks and Distributed Denial of service attack. Honey pot is a recent technology in the area of computer network security. It is a computer or network segment on the internet that is set up to attract and trap people who attempt to penetrate other people’s computer system. The project focuses on designing a honey pot which appears as the original network and trap the attacker by attracting it. The honey pot will identify the identity of the attacker using some browser exploitation technique and also record the pattern of attack done by the attacker. The advantages of the system are twofold: First we can defend our operational network with a high probability against known Dos, DDoS and against new, future variants. Second, we trap the attacker so that recording of the compromise can help in a legal action against the attacker.

86. Quest for self-identity: psychoanalytic theory and writing technique in Isabel Allende’s Maya’s notebook

This paper deals with the psychoanalytic feminism as in Isabel Allende’s Maya’s Notebook, as it involves the life and mind of women. And one can see that the whole novel is all about Maya a 19 year old girl and her sufferings because she has to cope with desolation and loss at a very young age. Another woman who gets the focus of the author is Maya’s grandmother. The most important issue that Allende brings out is the way women are abused for criminal activities and for money –making. The lyrical prose used to describe the delight of sea-life is yet another aspect of the novel. Exile in this kind of a landscape is more a search for inner peace, to escape alienation, death and grief. Life in Chile is portrayed as a union of raw nature unlike the mechanical life of California. Maya’s Notebook is very much rooted into the contemporary global culture. Maya Vidal regains her identity after getting shattered into pieces by the circumstances. Her exile and diary get her closer to herself and rescues her getting disintegrated.

87. An Automated Storage Area

The fast growth of data intensive applications has caused a change in the traditional storage model. The server to disk approach is being replaced by storage area networks (SANS), which enable storage to be externalized from servers, thus allowing storage devices to be shared among multiple servers. The prominent technology for implementing SANs is iSCSI, due to its suitability for storage networking. The iSCSI SAN is a block-level shared-storage alternative to Fiber Channel that is becoming increasingly popular among SME organisations. One of the reasons iSCSI SANs are popular for smaller businesses that often have fewer staff members with technical expertise is because they are easy to set up and maintain compared to Fiber Channel SANs. A storage area network (SAN) is a secure high speed data transfer network that provides access to consolidated block level storage. SAN makes a network of storage devices accessible to multiple servers.

88. Study on the impact of family’s Socio Economic status on employee’s level of satisfaction with organizations

Socioeconomic status (SES) is an economic and sociological combined total measure of a person’s work experience and of an individual’s or family’s economic and social position in relation to others, based on income, education, and occupation. When viewed through a social class lens, privilege, power, and control are emphasized. Low SES and its correlates, such as lower education, poverty, and poor health, ultimately affect the society as a whole. Additionally, Mortality differences within society are greater than indicated by social class based on occupation alone. Irrespective of social class, men with greater material assets have lower rates of mortality from all causes than men less well endowed, independent of a wide range of lifestyle and biological factors. These findings suggest that mortality differences within our society are closely related to relative wealth. Inequities in wealth distribution, resource distribution, and quality of life are increasing globally. Each employee may differ at least with any one of socio economic variables related to them. Hence the differing employee satisfaction with organization among different employees is analyzed from point of view of their socio-economic variable. In this study, the factors that influence the employee satisfaction with organization among the selected respondents has been studied in terms of social status of employees.

89. Review on Recent Techniques for Reducing Packet Drops in Dense and Sparse Vehicular Network Scenarios

Vehicular networks have been the trending topic of research since the past decade that can be attributed to its enormous potential to enhance road safety, traffic efficiency and furnish un-interrupted service to the users over the course of mobility. Vehicular communications are being perceived as an enabler for driverless cars of the future. Automobile industries, governments and research community across the globe are investing extensive effort and capital towards the deployment of vehicular networks owing to the gigantic potential envisaged in its applications. Vehicular networks represent a special sub-class of MANET that presents numerous research challenges due to their distinct features such as hybrid network architectures, node movement characteristics and new application scenarios. Designing efficient routing protocols for VANET remains one of the most prominent challenging issues. The major challenge associated with Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) protocols is ensuring less packet drops while ignoring delay. This paper reviews the works that lessen packet drops by exploiting position, social and velocity information of nodes in dense and sparse vehicular networks.

90. Dowry Prohibition Act- A Shelter or A Weapon

Though system of dowry existed in India even before the British Rule, the format of this tradition was entirely different. It was a form of recourse for woman in case of emergency in which her father use to give a part of property to the bride to whom she was entitled but not to the groom in shape of land, gifts, etc. And the bride was sole beneficiary of this property. But now days, dowry means goods given by family of bride to the bridegroom, his parents and relatives on their marriage either on demand or without demand which may include cash, ornaments, furniture, utensils, house hold or immovable property. In India dowry is prohibited and who so ever demand for dowry is punishable under Section 498-A IPC.

92. A Comparative Study of Fly Ash and Na-Fly Ash as Adsorbents for Removal of Cr (VI), Cu (Ii) and Fe (Ii) From Aqueous Solutions

Removal of Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Fe(II) from aqueous solutions has been studied using fly ash (FA) and Na-fly ash (Na-FA) as adsorbents. The process of adsorption has been established to be dependent on concentration of the metal ions, time of contact, dosage of adsorbent and on temperature. The adsorptive behaviour has been found to fit in Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Ion exchange and complexation at the surface are the major mechanisms involved in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solution. Na-fly ash is found to have better adsorption capacity than FA which is attributed to the increased content of Na ions on the surface which is readily available for exchange with metal ions. The observed results indicate that Na-FA has excellent adsorption capacity compared to FA and can be used as a potential cost-effective adsorbent for removal of heavy metal ions from industrial effluents.

94. Adsorption Refrigeration using Zeolite-Water pair on Pro-e and MATLAB

The methods of production of cold by mechanical processes are quite recent. Long back in 1748, William Coolen of Glosgow University produced refrigeration by creating partial vacuum over ethyl ether. The first development took place in 1834 when Perkins proposed a hand operated compressor machine working on ether. Then in 1851 came Gorrie’s air refrigeration machine, and in 1856 Linde developed a machine working on ammonia. The pace of development was slow in the beginning when steam engines were the only prime movers known to run the compressors. With the advent of electric motors and consequent higher speed of compressors, the scope of refrigeration widened. The pace of development was considerably quickened in 1920 decade when du Pont put in the market the family of new working substances, the fluoro-chloro derivates of methane, ethane, etc.- popularly known as choloro fluoro carbons or CFCs under the of Freons. Recent developments involve finding alternatives or substitutes of Freons, since it has been found that chlorine atoms in Freons are responsible for depletion of ozone layer in upper atmosphere. Another noteworthy development was that of ammonia- water vapour absorption machine by Carre. These developments account for the major commercial and industrial applications in the field of refrigeration. A phenomenon called Peltier effect was discovered in 1834 which is still not commercialized. Advances in cryogenics, a field of very low temperature refrigeration, were registered with the liquefaction of oxygen by Pictet in 1877. Dewar made the famous Dewar flask in 1898 to store liquids at cryogenic temperatures. Then followed the liquefaction of other permanent gases including helium in 1908 by Onnes which led to discovery of the phenomenon of superconductivity. Finally in 1926, Giaque and Debye independently proposed adiabatic demagnetization of paramagnetic salt to reach temperatures near absolute zero. Here the main focus is on Zeolite-Water Solar Adsorption Refrigeration, Environmental protection initiates by environmental agencies are necessitating the replacement of chlorofluorocarbons with benign working fluids. One of the sensitive areas affected is refrigeration and heat pump technology, where new working pairs are being developed as an alternative to the traditional CFCs. This will have less impact of the destruction of ozone layer. In the design of adsorption refrigeration and heat pump systems, it is important to analyse precisely the performance of the cycle. This is based on an accurate determination off the adsorbent-adsorbate performance. Therefore, the thermodynamics behaviour of adsorbent materials has to be studied in details using a number of physical models, which are widely accepted. Various kinds of sorption systems have been developed, mostly of activated carbon-ammonia, activated carbon-methanol, silica gel- water and Zeolite-Water pairs. Nowadays, the refrigeration sector is one of the most important in the process industry. It was realised in the mid- 1970s that CFCs allow ultraviolet radiation into the earth’s atmosphere by destroying the protective ozone layer, while preventing infrared radiation from escaping the earth, and thus contributing to the greenhouse effect. The discovery of the ozone- depleting properties of CFCs and HCFCs refrigerants, and of their global warming potential, led to the Montreal Protocol, which scheduled the end of 1995, and of HCFCs by 2030. The production of these refrigerants has fallen dramatically in recent years. Researchers have recently focused on development of new refrigerants to replace CFCs and HCFCs. These new working fluids are synthetic compounds namely hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs). Although the ozone depletion potential of some of them is zero, their global warming potential related to the greenhouse effect- can be large. An alternative to HCFs in the use of naturally occurring substances (refrigerants) like ammonia, carbon dioxide, methanol, water and air. Consequently, from the 1970s interest in solid-vapour adsorption systems was rekindled in view of their energy saving potential in air conditioning and heat pump applications. Along with a consideration for energy efficiency, increasing attention was given to the use of waste heat and solar energy. Adsorption technologies have been used also extensively for separation and purification of gases for the past few decades but their exploitation for refrigeration is still limited. This has led to sorption technology receiving renewed attention due to environmental concerns. New classes of adsorbent-adsorbate pairs, like zeolite, silica gel or activated carbon, are gaining importance because they can replace CFC refrigerants. The advantages of such systems in comparison with conventional compression systems are- • Adsorption systems are environmentally friendly • They can use heat rather than electricity as the primary energy source. • No moving parts • No solution pumps • Silent and easy to maintain

96. Task Scheduling in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more—over the Internet (“the cloud”). Companies offering these computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services based on usage, similar to how you are billed for water or electricity at home. We are probably using cloud computing right now, even if you don’t realize it. If you use an online service to send email, edit documents, watch movies or TV, listen to music, play games or store pictures and other files, it is likely that cloud computing is making it all possible behind the scenes. Numerous applications which are very complex need parallel processing for executing the jobs efficiently. Because of the synchronization and communication among processes which run parallel, there is a reduction in usage of resources of CPU. So there are number of jobs that need to be executed with the available resources to achieve optimal performance, least possible total time for completion, less processing cost and efficient utilization of resources etc. . To accomplish these goals and achieve high performance, it is important to design and develop a multi objective scheduling algorithm to schedule the tasks along with satisfying the user’s Quality of Service requirements. After studying and analyze the processing time of various low level scheduling algorithms, an improved task scheduling is developed using quality of service parameters of resource nodes and priorities of the task. In order to achieve efficient consumption of cloud resources, the load balancing problem is solved by using Adaptive Load balancing algorithm. The evaluation parameters considered in the work includes total processing cost, average waiting time and total processing time.

100. Seismic Effect of Masonry Infill with Open and Shear Wall on Flat Slab Structures

In the design of tall structures it is essential that the structure must be enough stiff to resist the lateral loads caused by wind and seismic motion. Lateral loads leads to develop high stresses, produce sway movement or cause vibration. Therefore, it is a must for the structure to have sufficient strength against vertical loads together with adequate stiffness to resist lateral forces. Many researches has been carried which describes the suitability of various lateral load resisting system against deformation and shear exerted due to the seismic and wind forces. The RC structures with shear wall and MI frame have been recognized as one of the most efficient structural system for such a purpose. A flat slab is a typical type of construction in which a reinforced slab is built monolithically with the supporting columns and is reinforced in two or more directions, without any provision of beams. Flat slab structures in areas of low seismicity (Zone I & II) can be designed to resist both vertical and lateral loads as permitted by code IS: 1893(Part1)-2002. However for areas of high seismicity (Zone III, IV & V) code does not permit flat slab construction without any lateral load resisting system. In a building having frames (without beam) and with shear wall, the frames are designed for at least 25% of the seismic force and 75% is taken by the shear wall. If effect of lateral load analysis and other design features are to be studied in flat slabs; punching shear is a matter of concern for any structural designer.

105. Detecting and Overcoming the Black Hole in MANET

The nodes in mobile ad hoc networks are prone to several attacks. This is because these networks are decentralized and any node can join in the network and any node can leave the network. So if any attacker wants to steal some information from the network, the malicious node can be deployed very easily in the network. One of the many possible attacks is the black hole attack. The black hole node shows the source node that it has shortest route to destination even if it does not have any. Therefore, the source node forwards the packets to the path, which are dropped and never reaches the destination node. The proposed scheme detects black hole attack based on the maximum sequence number for each path, which should be received. If in any route reply message, the sequence number were greater than this, the source node would reject the reply on the path. The existing and the proposed schemes were implemented in network simulator 2.35. The performance of network was analysed on the basis of the packet delivery ratio, throughput and remaining energy. These parameters showed improvement over the existing scheme.

Speech enhancement is one of the important preprocessing techniques required for any speech processing applications. This work represents dual channel speech enhancement where the desired signal is available and the input noisy speech is enhanced based on the reference signal, this method of speech enhancement can be used in robots where the machine can recognize the comments given by human. In this paper noisy and the desired speech signals are dual transformed using discrete cosine transform and Hadamard transform and applied to the adaptive filter using Normalized Least Mean Square algorithm. In NLMS the step size parameter is varying based on the input signal rather in LMS the step size is constant. This variable step size will lead to fast convergence of noisy speech towards desired speech and the enhanced signal gives better performance compared to conventional LMS algorithm. The performance analysis is done through various subjective and objective measures.

115. Multiple Face Detection for Colour Images

The emergence of high resolution digital cameras for recording of still images and video streams has had a significant impact on how communication and entertainment have developed during the recent years. At the same time Moore’s law has made tremendous computing power readily available that only some 20 years ago was reserved for high profile research establishments and intelligence services. These two tendencies have respectively called for and fostered the advent of unprecedented computationally heavy image processing algorithms. Algorithms that in turn have allowed for new processing of existing image based material. Parallel to this technological development the measures deployed in the protection against attacks from the enemies of modernity calls for more surveillance of the public space. As a result of this regrettable circumstance more video cameras are installed in airports, on stations and even on open streets in major cities. Whether or not the purpose is entertainment or dead serious surveillance, tasks like detection and recognition of faces are solved using the same methods. Due to the varying and generally adverse conditions under which images are recorded there is a call for algorithms capable of working in an unconstrained environment. In 2004 an article by Paul Viola and Michael J. Jones titled “Robust Real-Time Face Detection” was publish in the International Journal of Computer Vision. The algorithm presented in this article has been so successful that today it is very close to being the de facto standard for solving face detection tasks. This success is mainly attributed to the relative simplicity, the fast execution and the remarkable performance of the algorithm. This report documents all relevant aspects of the implementation of the Viola-Jones face detection algorithm. The intended input for the face detection algorithm is any conceivable image containing faces and the output is a list of face positions.

118. Bio Inspired Technique to Improve the Performance of VANETs

The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network, or VANET, is an expertise that usages moving cars as nodes in a network to generate a moveable network. VANET turns each contributing car into a wireless router or node, permitting cars roughly 100 to 300 metres of each other to associate and, consecutively, form a network with an extensive range. Since vehicular ad hoc networks require the transmission of the safety related messages most of the times, it signifies that the successful dissemination of these messages is very important. Thus, this paper aims to improve the performance of the network by improving the delivery rate of the packets by using the concept of ant colony optimization combined with firefly algorithm. The proposed scheme has been implemented in NS2.35 and the performance has been measured using packet delivery ratio, throughput and routing overhead. These parameters showed an improvement over the existing scheme.

119. Qualitative Risk Assessment and HAZOP Study of a Glass Manufacturing Industry

In the recent years, many industries have realized that maintaining good occupational health and safety is as equally important in accordance to production requirement. Hence there has been much scope for the risk assessment in order to protect the workers’ health and safety at workplace. Risk assessment is a process where the Identified hazards are evaluated to determine the potential cause of an accident and further to reduce to the lowest reasonable risk level to protect worker’s health and safety. It is a part of risk management. Risk assessment can be categorized into Qualitative and Quantitative risk assessment which is being carried out using different techniques. In this paper, an attempt has been made to carry a Qualitative risk assessment i.e. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment and HAZOP study for the identified critical areas of a glass manufacturing industry. From the results obtained from this study, Physical Hazard is 47%, Ergonomic Hazard is 10%, Chemical Hazard is 9%, Electrical Hazard 2%, Biological Hazard 3%, Thermal Hazard is 29% etc. Risks are also categorized into Low, Medium and High risks which 12.09%, 45.05% and 42.06% respectively. Hazard analysis from the design intent for Silane and ethylene gas station is also studied using a HAZOP technique. Some of the control valves are suggested to install before the gas filter. ALOHA is also used to simulate the model to analyse the impact due to leakage from the various potential hole area in the natural gas pipeline. Leakage from the larger hole of about 324.51 sq.cm has shown the high hazardous zone – death to human beings i.e.12m down the line in the wind direction. However, periodical maintenance and monitoring of the Natural gas distribution pipelines along with Gas detection system and fire hydrant system with sprinklers can prevent the disaster.

122. A Research on Fault Detection and Diagnosis of Rolling Bearing

Mechanical failure prevention and condition monitoring have been one of the mechanical engineers’ concerns in recent years due to the personal safety, reliability, failure cost, and equipment downtime issues. Proper system failure prevention process helps to reduce the possibility of the system malfunction, identification of source causes, and troubleshooting. The use of novel sensors such as an Air-coupled ultrasonic transducer, Eddy current, Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer as diagnostic tools for detection of bearing faults has been investigated. A series of experiments were carried out in a laboratory environment. Localized defects with different sizes were created intentionally on the test bearing components simulating evolving cracks or other related faults. Four different signal processing techniques were applied to extract the signal features. The resulting data for different bearing speed and load showed that the sensors are capable of detecting different types of defects located on the bearing components.
