1. Safety Begins From Childhood

Every year, India experiences an unusually high number of fatalities caused by Head and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Of these, 65 to 70 % are caused in road mishaps. The balance are due to industrial accidents, War and Counter Insurgency Operations (CI Ops), Sports field Accidents, Domestic Violence, Riots, Natural Disasters and other acts of God including even an accidental fall. In 2015 alone, the number of officially recorded deaths was over 1,46,000, and injured with debilitating trauma was over half a million. This toll is growing at an alarming rate with no check or respite in sight. With one percent vehicles, India carries the burden of over 10 % deaths in the world and there is a traffic accident every minute and a death every 4 minutes. In the US, the fatality rate is one out of two hundred victims of road trauma and in India it is one in six. A majority of Head Injury victims are two wheeler riders and pedestrians, and unfortunately, we have come to be termed as the “Head Injury” Capital of the world. The victims in India are mostly in the age group of 18–44 years and are often, the only “Bread Winners” for a family of 4 to 6. A large number of survivors of such accidents sustain varying degrees of debilitating damage and require long term rehabilitation treatment. This is virtually non-existent in most parts of India, and where available, is highly expensive. In several cases, victims of TBI have to relearn to walk, talk and formulate thought from scratch. Even mild TBI leads to symptoms like decreased memory, insomnia, inability to focus, anxiety, mood swings, irritation, etc.

2. Analyze Portrayl of SEP for WSN Using Matlab

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are made out of heaps of sensor nodes, with restricted energy, that cooperates to perform a sensing project. In Wireless Sensor Network, the energy efficiency is the important thing difficulty for designing the protocol because sensor nodes have one-time battery backup. There are many cutting-edge protocols which increase the life of the wireless sensor Network through correctly the use of battery energy of the sensor node. In this research work, a brand new strategy and protocol based totally on Stable Election Protocol (SEP) in wireless Sensor network have been proposed. For proposed method, we’ve assumed heterogeneous environment i.e. the impact of heterogeneity of nodes, in terms in their strength, in wireless sensor networks which might be hierarchically clustered. In those networks, some of the nodes grow to be cluster heads, combination the records of their cluster members and transmit it to the sink. We count on that a percentage of the population of sensor nodes is ready with extra strength assets. We additionally anticipate that the sensors are randomly distributed and aren’t cellular, the coordinates of the sink and the size of the sensor discipline are known. The uniqueness of the proposed method is that cluster head is chosen amongst normal Nodes, Intermediate Nodes and Advanced Nodes based upon their common strength. This assets will increase the number of cluster heads in keeping with spherical and number of packets per spherical. First of all the nodes had been labeled as everyday Nodes, Intermediate Nodes and advanced Nodes. Then, all three kinds of nodes are similarly categorized as Alive nodes and dead nodes. The cluster head is selected among all 3 types of nodes on the premise of average energy. Cluster head collects statistics from member nodes, mixture it and transmit it to the base station. Cluster head choice is maximum critical. Once the cluster head is selected then the cluster head broadcasts a commercial message to the nodes. The nodes get hold of the message and decide to which cluster head it is going to be long for the cutting-edge round. A Modified-SEP (proposed approach) has been applied and in comparison with existing SEP. Three parameters i.e. the number of dead nodes, the number of alive nodes and packets transmitted to base station and so forth has been taken as performance parameters. The simulation end result shows that overall performance and throughput of our proposed protocol deliver the effective and widespread power efficiency in addition to more Network lifetime as compared to different protocols. MATLAB R2013a has been taken as an implementation platform.

3. Comparative Study on Fresh and Hardened Concrete Properties of Ternary Blend Self Compacting Concrete

Self- Compacting Concrete is a special type of concrete that is able to flow and compact under its own weight and can occupy all the spaces in the form without any vibration and at the same time it is cohesive enough to be handled without bleeding or segregation. In recent years, self-compacting concrete has been gaining wide range of application for placement in congested reinforced concrete structures with difficult casting conditions. For such applications, the fresh concrete must possess high fluidity and good cohesiveness. The use of additive materials such as industrial wastes as mineral admixtures can ensure the required concrete properties. The initial experimental study aims at producing and evaluating SCC for ternary blends incorporating fly ash, GGBS, sugarcane bagasse ash and alccofine as partial replacement of cement. Five number of SCC mixes were investigated in this study. The self-compacting mixes have cement replacement with different percentages of mineral admixtures while keeping cement quantity fixed for 360kg/m3.The tests such as slump flow test, V funnel test, T500 slump flow test, J ring test and V5min test were carried on fresh properties of SCC mixes to check the prerequisites mentioned in EFNARC, the mechanical properties of hardened concretes such as compressive strength, split tensile strength were also carried on all the mixes. Incorporating these mineral admixtures resulted in producing economical concrete and the workability requirements of SCC were satisfied, the strength obtained was maximum when alccofine and GBBS were added in the concrete.

5. A Five Phase Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator for Wind Turbine Application

This project discusses the benefits of five-phase technology for Wind Turbine Application with Axial Flux Permanent Magnet BLDC Generator (AFPMG). The radial flux permanent magnet generator has a setback of very low-speed applications because of the presence of cogging torque. This can be overcome by using an axial flux permanent magnet generator which has no cogging torque and has more advantage than a radial flux generator. Investigations proved that the five-phase topology harnesses some specific and important benefits that are not provided by three-phase systems. The benefits include improved fault tolerance and reliability, and reduced voltage, torque ripple, and size of DC link capacitor. These are general improvements that are sought after in many applications including renewable energy applications. The objective of the project is to design a five-phase Axial Flux permanent magnet BLDC generator for 1000W at a wind speed of 9m/s. Performance analysis of Axial Flux permanent magnet is investigated. MATLAB/Simulink model for five phase rectifier and Generator model is discussed. Test results are also presented in this project

8. Scaling of Ground motions for performing Incremental Dynamic Analysis of RC framed structures

In the modern world of structural engineering design of structures subjected to earthquake promotes a need of developing simple and practical methods for estimating seismic demands of structures. These methods are based on their behavior which is to be predicted prior to design. Researchers are implementing various static as well as dynamic, linear as well as nonlinear to predict the performance of the structure. This study aims towards performing incremental dynamic analysis of structures using SAP 2000 subjected to several scaled ground motions scaled using SEISMOMATCH 2016. This procedure is followed by the pushover curves plotted for each structural model. The 5, 12 and 18 story moment resisting RC frames are used for study which is located in the highly active seismic region of north India. Due to improper knowledge of seismic hazards buildings designed using modern principles observe earlier failure. This leads to loss of property as well as lives.

With pace of time there is a huge development in technologies. In recent time there is a concern of energy as right now fossil fuel is used but as population increasing in near future to meet demand it would be very tough that why we are focusing on renewable energy. Distributed energy resources based micro grid and Nano-grid framework is most technically viable bottom-top approach to sustainably meet ever-increasing demand of rural and urban communities. Recently the growth of DC operative home appliances like mobile and lap top chargers, ovens and hair dryer’s etc. are increasing and therefore a DC/DC converter is an efficient way to meet the electricity need from the local DER and helps in improving the system efficiency. In our dissertation we took three different section of solar panel and after that simulation carried out with help of buck boost converter and besides this MPPT algorithm (P & O method) for solar PV module and closed loop PI control system also used. The proposed methodology is to extract maximum DC power from solar PV system and it is directly fed to DC load or DC Nano grid. The simulation results demonstrate the boost converter application for maintain constant voltage at DC bus irrespective of variation of solar PV generation.

18. Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beams Reinforced With GFRP Rebars

This study reports test results of 12 concrete beams measuring 150mm wide × 180mm deep× 1200mm long reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to a four point loading system. The test specimens were classified into three groups according to the concrete compressive strength. The main variation done for each beam in all the three groups was percentage of reinforcement (0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%). Since all the beams were over reinforced failure occurred due to rupture of concrete at compression zone. The failure is initiated by a vertical crack at the midspan which extended up to compression zone of the beam and propagated horizontally which leads to bond failure between top concrete and compression reinforcement. The test results revealed that the crack widths and mid-span deflection significantly reduced by increasing the reinforcement ratio. The ultimate load increased by 7.5%, 16.8%, 27.7% as the reinforcement percentage increased from 0.5% to 1%, 1.55 and 2% respectively. The flexural provisions of structural design guidelines namely ACI 440.1R-06, ECP 208-2005 and CSA S806-12 were evaluated against the test data. ACI 440.1R-06 over estimates the moment resistance of GFRP bars as compared to other codes and experimental results. Whereas all the design guidelines predicts nearly the same values for deflection. And for crack width approximation Toutanji’s equation is more accurate compared to ACI equation.

The eye is the window of the human body through which it feels its way and enjoys the beauty of the world. With all the possible modalities of cataract surgery, we try to give a normal vision. But Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA) is one of the causes of a poor quality of vision. We have studied SIA in 3 different sites of incision in Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS). AIM: To compare between the surgically induced astigmatism(SIA) in small incision cataract surgery(SICS) by superior incision , temporal incision and supero-temporal incision. Materials and methods: Three hundred patients were studied. The patients were randomly assigned to any of three groups. The three groups had 100 patients each. The patients in group A underwent manual SICS with a superior incision, the patients in group B underwent manual SICS with a supero-temporal incision and the patients in group C underwent manual SICS with a temporal incision. The patients were examined on the postoperative days 1 and 7,1 month and 6 weeks. The uncorrected and the best-corrected visual acuity was recorded and a slit-lamp examination and auto-refracto-meter and keratometry examinations were also done. Statistics: All the calculations were performed by using vector analysis method. Statistical analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics using Chi square test, One way ANOVA and Multiple comparison Tukey Test. Results: The mean SIA in group A was found to be 1.32± 0.97, in group B, it was 1.03± 0.75 and in group C, it was 1.00±0.60 . The p-value accordingly was < 0.001, which was highly significant. Conclusion: SICS which is done with a temporal and a supero-temporal approach provides a better quality of vision due to a significantly less SIA than the superior approach.

23. Influence of Age and Gender on Interpupilary Distance and Comparison of Pd Ruler and Auto Refractrometer Values of Interpupilary Distance

Information about the normal values of interpupilary distance (IPD) for particular age group, gender and ethnic background has important clinical implications. Normative values of IPD could be useful in the diagnosis of certain syndromes and also in surgery after facial trauma. Our main aim to carrying out this study was to find out the effect of gender and age on interpupilary distance in total study sample of 30 subjects within the age limit of 15 to 60 years and IPD measurements were compared taken with two different instruments i.e. PD ruler and auto refractrometer. Data was collected using descriptive cross sectional study at Ophthalmology Department at Medina Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad. Proper room for examination with all instruments that were used in study was chosen after history taking. With torch light we examined that the pupil is round, regular and reactive. Then IPD values were measured using a millimeter PD ruler and auto refractrometer. Our study results show that gender has an effect on IPD measurements and also that males have 3mm wider papillary distance than females. Our study subjects were divided into 3 age groups and IPD in younger age (15-30 years) group keep on increasing, after wards it remains constant. And another objective of our study was to compare IPD values with different instruments i.e. PD ruler and auto refractrometer used and results are significant. It is suggested that IPD should be an integral part of eye examination to avoid any future intolerance of spectacles and asthenopic symptoms.

26. Mid-Point Algorithm Based Sink Movement to Improve Lifetime of the Wireless Sensor Networks

The wireless sensor networks with the mobile sink are more effective in providing better network performance as compared to the ones with the static sinks. This paper proposes a scheme cluster based WSN with the tour planning of the mobile sink. Since the deployment of the nodes in the WSN is purely random, this leads to some nodes in the network not connected to any cluster (when the clustering is done). The proposed scheme takes into consideration cluster heads and unconnected nodes to plan the trajectory of the sink movement. The scheme was implemented in NS2.35 and compared with the existing approach based on the remaining energy, routing overhead and packet delivery ratio. The scheme has outperformed the existing scheme.

28. Effect of Heat Stress on Amylase Activity in Chalky and Translucent Rice Genotypes

Occurrence of chalkiness is a major problem as it is an important parameter in determining quality of rice grains. High temperature during the grain filling period results in loose packing starch granules that could be due to involvement of starch degrading enzymes i.e., amylases. Therefore, two rice genotypes viz., PAU 3699-13- 2-1- 1 and PR122 were sown at two different dates. Thirty- day old seedlings of the two genotypes were transplanted in the field at two different times in order to expose the plants to different temperature regimes during grain filling. A Significant increase in total amylase activity was observed during early transplanting. The chalky genotypes i.e., PAU-3699- 13-2- 1-1 possessed higher α-amylase activity than translucent genotype (PR122) during heat stress. Whereas, PR122 possessed higher β amylase activity than PAU-3699- 13-2- 1-1. High temperature encountered during early transplanting resulted in induction of activities of amylases.

the outcome will flow over the top. Many such research works proved that the modern
form of education is far better than that of conventional one. The proper use of
Smart classroom, Computer laboratory, and Digital library has taken the Student-
Teacher fraternity to a level which is always regarded as the best ever relation. And
when these relations stand as best one the society will definitely fly with a different hue.
“Madrassa is an institution of learning, where Islamic sciences including literary and
philosophical ones are taught” (encyclopedia of Islam – Leiden E. J. Brill). The main
aim and purpose of Madrassa is to inculcate the belief and practice of Islam to its
followers and also to guide them to follow the Holy Qur’an and saying Prophet
Muhammad (PUBH). Islamic form of education will definitely lead the student to a
religious juncture but to walk parallel with other fraternity the system needs the general
form of education too. Generalized form of Madrassa education shift itself from pious
to modernized form and with inhaling the modern prospect the system edge itself to
ICT. Though there are many restrictions in implementing those gift of science. Along
with the prospective scholar of Islam, the government too help to implement computer
as a subject in the syllabus and after taking the sip of the computer the student as well as
the general follower too praising the system as well as the technology. Because of
computer everything become easily reachable and the bonding between teacher and

33. Automatic Solar Tracker With Pre Installed Panel Cleaner

With the forthcoming drought of Non-renewable resources, people are considering to use alternate sources of energy. Solar energy is one such form , it is swiftly attaining centre stage as an important means of amplifying renewable energy resources. So it vital to those in engineering field to understand the technologies associated with this area & design new ideas. The proposed system tracks the sun’s movement and tries to maintain the solar panel perpendicular to sun rays, ensuring that the maximum amount of sunlight is incident on the panel. This is better than the fixed solar panel, where the panel is fixed and can’t track the transition of the sun from east to west, hence generating optimum energy. This proposed system solves the problem by arrangement for the solar panel to track the sun. The idea in which this paper is unique is that with the solar tracker, the system also includes an automated solar panel cleaning robot. A big issue which is often overlooked too easily is keeping the panel clean. After installation of the panel it is often difficult & dangerous to reach the panels. Also if done manually, it is a time taking process & also requires more money. Hence to remove this limitation use of technology is good choice. This opens up the new field to build a automatic solar tracker which comes with the automatic panel cleaning robot. The project uses a dummy solar panel which is coupled to a DC stepper motor for tracking the sun rays such that maximum sunlight is incident on the solar panel at any given time of the day. The tracking movement of the solar panel is achieved by teaming a DC stepper motor with the solar panel such that the face of the panel is always perpendicular to the sun, so as to generate maximum energy. This is attained by utilizing a programmed 8051 microcontroller to furnish stepped pulses in specific time intervals for the DC stepper motor to rotate the solar panel as appropriate. The cleaning mechanism can be achieved by a DC servo motor which is coupled across the solar panel with wiper & brushes. The DC servo motor is also connected to the microcontroller which is programmed to send signals for cleaning mechanism to operate at different time intervals. Therefore this paper presents a novel method of finding a more economical and efficient system that not only ensures maximum amount of sunlight but also helps in the maintenance of solar panel.

34. Defamation and Newspapers -The Right to Privacy

With the growing number of reader ship as well as newspapers and their district editions coupled with improved transportation facility the newspaper industry has seen a sea change in its circulation, commercial advertisement and other aspects. At this out set it has become imperative for looking at the content that is being published in the vernacular languages’ particularly district tabloids. I made a brief and quick survey in erstwhile four northern Telangana Districts, as to the qualification and standards of the reporters / contributors / stringers. Generally, only one person who is working as district head is having university degrees or certification from journalism school. Occasionally this in charge is assisted by another qualified person. In most of the cases the remaining staff is drop-outs from colleges or pursuing education privately and working for newspaper. The payment of wages and other emoluments are dependent not only on the length of the news but also strength (?) i.e., the sensation it has created. The news from such sensational stringers etc., have had precedence over others. This aspect is also seen from the advertisement revenue being mopped up by the particular contributor.

35. Review on Methods of Self Balancing of Two Inline Wheels

Self-balancing of two inline wheels has been a problem for many years for researchers and engineers. Many attempts have been successfully made to achieve self-balancing in two wheelers by using gyroscope. This paper illustrates on different techniques of gyroscopic stabilization in a two inline wheels system & some of the recent modern technology to achieve self -balancing in two wheelers. The factors which affects balancing are mass distribution, centre of mass of system, steering of vehicle towards left or right, acceleration & most importantly gyroscopic effect. Most of the projects are based on balancing by using reaction wheel or flywheel which uses sensors along with PID controller, some other sensors such as Control Moment Gyro (CMG) are also being developed & used for analysis. Some projects include concept of gyrowheel which use precession to avoid misbalancing. We have also studied various models of self- balancing where researchers did not use gyroscopic effect. Hondas Riding assist bike incorporating advanced robotics is an example of such system.

36. Comparison of HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) and Haar Cascade Algorithms with A Convolutional Neural Network Based Face Detection Approach

Face detection is an important computer vision problem that has been working for years. Security and market research are the areas where face detection is used. Face detection is the first step in some problems such as face recognition, age estimation and face expression detection. Several face detection algorithms have been developed up to now. CNN-based algorithms are the state-of-the art technology in image processing problems, as well as other methods in terms of accuracy rates and speed criteria in face detection problems. In this paper, we propose a face detection algorithm having a model like Alexnet. The method is implemented on images from MUCT and FDDB public datasets. In addition, in the study, the Hog feature descriptor and the methods developed with the haar cascade features are compared with the CNN based method using images of the same dataset. Tests show that the proposed method produces better results than the other two methods.

39. OFDM Based Key Generation Technique

With enhancement in wireless technology, security has become an important part in designing of network. Network security is an important aspect of system administration. We are living in a world where there is access to information anywhere, anytime, be it voice, multimedia or data analytics. This information should be provided to the user with the highest possible security. Thus the information exchanged for communication should be highly secured, authentic and only accessible to the authorised user. Recent research has shown that, this security can be provided through RSS (Received Signal Strength) based key generation techniques for authentication of user. But RSS based key generation technique has a drawback that the key generation rate is very low. Also RSS based technique is highly applicable for mobile devices. In M2M Communication the devices can be static or mobile based. So we explore a technic which is based on Key generation through CSI (Channel State Information) of a channel. Key generation using CSI information can be efficient in the terms of providing security as they can generate quiet a long key as compared to RSS based technique. We deploy an algorithm as a solution to key generation without using additional hardware for key generation and verify that the malicious user is not able to decode the key sighting to the randomness obtained to our algorithm. The major portion of the algorithm concentrates on making the key random so that the attacker is not able to decode the key within a time span which is vulnerable to the communication. When an attacker tries to use the same algorithm and try to sabotage the communication, due to the property of CSI information of OFDM channel, the generated key will be different. Thus it will not match with the secret key used for actual communication. Hence the user will not be able to hijack the communication.

43. Synchronization of Photovoltaic Systems in Single-Phase Grid-Connected Under Grid Faults

The highly increasing penetration of single-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems pushes the grid requirements related to the integration of PV power systems to be updated. These upcoming regulations are expected to direct the grid-connected renewable generators to support the grid operation and stability both under grid faulty conditions and under normal operations. Grid synchronization techniques play an important role in the control of single-phase systems in order to fulfill these demands. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the behaviors of grid synchronization methods in single phase systems under grid faults. The focus of this paper is put on the benchmarking of synchronization techniques, mainly about phase locked loop (PLL) based methods, in single-phase PV power systems operating under grid faults. Some faulty mode cases are studied at the end of this paper in order to compare these methods. It is concluded that the Enhanced PLL (EPLL) and the Second Order Generalized Integrator based PLL (SOGI-OSG PLL) technique are the most promising candidates for future single-phase PV systems due to their fast adaptive-filtering characteristics.

45. Effects of Glass Powder and Brick Aggregate in M-25 Concrete

Concrete is a mix of bond, sand, coarse total and water. The key factor that increases the value of cement is that it can be intended to withstand harshest situations critical part. Today an unnatural weather change and ecological decimation have turned out to be show hurts as of late, worry about natural issues, and a changeover from the mass-squander, mass utilization, large scale manufacturing society of the past to a zero-radiation society is currently seen as noteworthy. Typically glass does not hurt nature at all since it doesn’t radiate contaminations, however it can hurt people and additionally creatures, if not managed precisely and it is less benevolent to condition since it is non-biodegradable. In this way, the improvement of new advancements has been required. The term glass contains a few compound assorted varieties including pop lime silicate glass, salt silicate glass and boro-silicate glass. To date, these sorts of glasses glass powder have been broadly utilized as a part of concrete and total blend as pozzolana for common works. The supportable development idea was acquainted due with the developing worry about the eventual fate of our planet since development industry is an immense buyer of normal assets and, at the same time, a waste maker. Concrete blocks industry is viewed as one of the greatest normal asset buyers. In any case, it might be utilized as a potential place for reusing squanders, in view of its composite nature (i.e., bond, water and totals). Totals in strong bond blocks contain around 60– 75% of the aggregate volume, so any lessening in characteristic totals’ utilization will have huge effects. Reusing of squanders as regular totals is monetarily suitable as well as it is considered as an ecological amicable approach. Mud blocks are generally utilized as a part of Egypt. The amount of stone work annihilation squander is assessed to be around 2– 3 and 1.5 times higher in structures with stack bearing workmanship and fortified cement surrounded brick work infill as basic frameworks, individually. As needs be, a critical part of decimation squanders is earth blocks. Also, block fabricating industry creates extensive amounts of rejected let go blocks due to being off-standard (i.e., broken, mutilated, under consumed, or over consumed). The off-standard blocks are sold for arranging purposes, if monetarily possible, yet generally dumped into destinations around the block industrial facilities causing natural issues. Consequently, the reusing of squashed blocks as option totals has a specific enthusiasm as it can impressively lessen the issue of waste stockpiling and then again can help in the conservation of characteristic totals. Besides, concrete containing coarse smashed blocks had a generally bring down quality at early ages than typical total cement. This is because of the higher water ingestion of pounded block totals contrasted with regular totals.

53. A Review on Security to Network using Security Metrics and Multisink Timestamp

The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be considered one of the most important revolutions in the field of information and communications technology (ICT). Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of WSN applications such as surveillance systems, battleground applications, object tracking, habitat monitoring, forest fire detection and patient monitoring. Due to limitations of sensor nodes in terms of energy, storage and computational ability, many security issues have arisen in such applications. As a result, many solutions and approaches have been proposed for different attacks and vulnerabilities to achieve security requirements. This paper surveys different security approaches for WSNs, examining various types of attacks and corresponding techniques for tackling these. We use multisink timestamp and attack graph based metrics. Multsink Timestamp technique finding out the attacking or sensing the attacking points among all networks in small period of time.For e.g. the large geographical areas where the volcanos or earthquakes may be occurred in future and these techniques finding out those areas provides the security to that area so that we can avoid the volcanos or earthquakes. For finding out the attacks in network we usea three methods Normalized Mean of Path Lengths Metric, Standard Deviation of Path Lengths Metric, Mean of Path Lengths Metric.These three metrics creates clusters of all networks and finding out only the attacking networks. The paper suggests an approach to network attack modeling and security evaluation which is realized in advanced Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. It is based on modeling of computer network and malefactors’ behaviors, building attack graphs, processing current alerts for real-time adjusting of particular attack graphs, calculating different security metrics and providing security assessment procedures. Increasing inclination of people to use software systems for most of the purposes comes a major challenge for software Engineers the engineering of secure software systems. The concept of computer Security is being heavily researched and this perfectly makes sense in a world where e-commerce and e governance are becoming the norms of the day. Along with their potential for making life easier and smarter for people, these systems also carry with them the danger of insecurity. Because any software system is an outcome of some software engineering process it makes sense to incorporate security considerations during the software engineering processes. We use the attack based graph to provide the security to network. For that purpose we use the shortest path metric, the Number of Paths metric, and the Mean of Path Lengths metric are three attack graph-based security metrics that can extract security relevant information. The metric and the Mean of Path Lengths metric fail in the number of ways an attacker may violate a security policy. The Number of Paths metric fails to adequately account for the attack effort associated with the attack paths. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose a complimentary suite of attack graph-based security metrics and specify an algorithm for combining the usage of these metrics. Attack graph can provide clues for the network defender on how an attacker exploits the vulnerability on the network to achieve goals. System administrators use attack graph to determine how vulnerable their systems and to determine what security measures are used to maintain their systems. In a network of large and complex organizations, securing a network is a very challenging task. Attack graphs are very important in the effort to secure the network, because it can directly indicate the presence of vulnerabilities in network and how attackers use the vulnerabilities to implement an effective attack. In this paper, we will describe some very good algorithms can be used to generate the attack graph.

54. Vulnerability Assessment of Sensor Network Using Multisink Timestamp and Attack Graph Based Metrics

Attack graph security metrics used for providing the security to the network .We proposed mainly three algorithms those are Shortest path metrics, Number of paths metrics and mean of path length metrics. These three techniques is mostly used for example where the earthquakes or volcanos can occur. In our work we are findings the hotspots areas or sensing the hotspot points from the large geographical areas where the volcanos or earthquakes may be occurred in future and these three algorithms providing the security to that area so that we can avoid the volcanos or earthquakes. But attack graph security metrics used for aggregating the result of those three security metrics and provide the more security.

56. Studies on Strengthening of High Performance Self Compacting Concrete

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) has more attention because of its ability to compact without the need of internal or external vibration. The placing of normal conventional concrete is difficult in reinforcement confinement places and also the strength of the concrete is low when it is subjected to severe exposure condition. In order to overcome these effects, the admixtures were used in the concrete to increase the strength and durable properties of the concrete. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is one of the concrete which makes use of admixture to increase the flowability of the concrete without any additional vibration. As the concrete is flowable, it has good workability. SCC has more workability and by the addition of mineral admixtures like fly ash and silica fume, the concrete will attain more strong and durable, so that the concrete will behave as Self Compacting High-Performance Concrete (SCHPC).The aim of the study is to determine the flexural behavior of the self-compacting high-performance concrete. In this present work, the various literature related to SCC with different mineral admixtures was studied and the best among them was chosen for the future work

76. Implementation of Matrix Converter Using Induction Heater

This paper suggests the single phase matrix converter (SPMC) high frequency induction heating with improved performance and superior sinusoidal output waveforms are obtained. The converter can buck and boost with step-changed frequency, and both the frequency and the voltage can be stepped up or stepped down. In this paper we have designed a matrix converter that works on three different frequency levels. Any one of these frequencies depending upon the load that is used there by providing us with ease of operation for various loads. With further developments in the single phase matrix converter the industries will be capable of using this matrix converter for their high frequency applications. The simulation results are used to verify the converter can produce an output voltage with three different frequencies 100, 50, and 25 Hz, and that the amplitude of the output voltage can be bucked and boosted. If the output that can be obtained from this matrix converter is improved large power can be saved by the industries. This can reduce the overall consumption of power by the industries and can produce a solution to the huge crisis of power that our nation will be facing in the near future. In future this technique is used to conserve the electrical power in induction heating for melting the metal in industries and home applications.

Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep and plays an important role in thinking and learning. Lack of sleep and sleep disorders can contribute to the symptoms of depression. Sleep loss also causes the body to release too little human growth hormone. According to a study, those who had cut their sleep from seven to five hours a night nearly doubled their risk of death from all causes. Present paper emphasizes on the study of symptoms and effects of sleep deprivation in young adults. The aim of the study was to examine the effects which the most frequent sleep disorders have on adults’ health, knowing that at least 30% of the population suffers from some sort of sleep disturbance.

79. Persuade of Development Parameters on Diffusion Coupled Joints of Dissimilar Materials – An Analysis

Diffusion bonding method is an alternate technique to join like and unlike materials with minimum dimensional tolerance. It is the solid-state process in which two metallic surfaces are made to contact at the elevated temperature and pressure. Diffusion bonding process provides high eminence joints without post-weld machining. The main process parameters of diffusion bonding embrace temperature, pressure and holding time. It is significant that the metallic surfaces should be spotless and free from oxides and nonmetallic films. In diffusion bonding technique microstructural changes were formed in the base metal which determines the mechanical properties of the bond at the interface. Diffusion bonding method can be used to weld the dissimilar materials with different chemical and mechanical properties. The present work reviews the influence of process parameters on diffusion bonded joints of dissimilar materials in the midst of and with no interlayer. Examination on the microhardness, lap shear and microstructure were made for various dissimilar diffusion bonded joints and finally some general conclusions are summarized.

81. A Hybrid Approach to Detect and Recognise Faces in Complex Background

Face recognition from image or video is a popular topic in biometrics research. In this research work a new hybrid approach to detect and recognize faces is proposed and implemented. The proposed algorithm uses Viola Jones method to detect face area from a complex background and then uses the same image to create a database of images. In the recognition part, it again detects the face area and computes the Euclidean Distance of the current face with that of the face images in the training database. The minimum Euclidean distance parameter is used to recognize the correct face, if it is available in the database. The algorithm shows good results in terms of recognition rate as compared to some previous research work in similar field.

82. Reduction of VR Using Pi and FLC in a Buck-Boost Converter by Combining SR Buck – KY Boost Converter

In this paper, an analyze and describe step by step process of designing, feedback control and MATLAB simulation of a voltage bucking-boosting converter by combining KY and Synchronous Buck converter for power battery applications. Unlike the traditional buck-boost converter [1, 2, 10, 11], this converter has only the positive output voltage, different from the negative output voltage of the traditional inverting buck-boost converter. This converter operates only in continuous conduction mode. The output current is the non-pulsating waveform thereby not only the current stress on the output capacitor is reduced but also reducing the output voltage ripples. By Combining the KY converter with the synchronous buck converter, a positive buck-boost converter is obtained and uses the same power switches with no right-half-plane zero. So that the circuit is made to be compact and the corresponding cost to below.

83. Performance of Mixing Efficiency and RTD of Static Mixer in Liquid-Liquid And Gas-Liquid Mixture

Abstract- In this experimental work, the mixing efficiencies of immiscible fluids were studied with finding out the mixing index of the fluids at the different velocities and with different Reynolds’s number. For finding the efficiencies of the immiscible fluids the pressure drop acts as an important role so as the pressure drop increases then the mixing efficiency of fluids increases. Also, pressure drop directly effects on to know the increasing the mixing efficiency. Also, residence time distribution is the key factor which is found in the mixing of the immiscible fluids in the static mixer which shows the time which remains in the static mixer to pass out the solution which is also important for the calculating the mixing efficiency of the fluids. The objective of the study is to design the static mixer for estimating the maximum mixing efficiency of immiscible fluids.

88. Children: Issues & Challenges

Children are valuable asset of every Country because they are the future citizen of State. It is also the responsibilities of the Government to see that they grow up as responsible citizens. The people of India belief that children are a boon of God and no efforts should be made to oppose successfully his blessings. The economically weaker sections believe that more children they bear the more the helping hands there would be. But they do not realize the fact that there would also be an additional mouth to feed with every additional child, The result is that children lead a life of deprivation and are left to fend for themselves and sometimes even for their families. In the absence of proper childhood and education, they often take to immoral ways to sustain themselves.

89. A Comparative Research b/w Friction Stir Welding Processes and TIG Welding Processes for [A6061] Aluminium Alloy

An experimental investigation has been carried out on microstructure and tensile properties of weld b of
aluminum alloy. Two different welding processes have been considered: a conventional tungsten inert gas (TIG)
process and an innovative solid-state welding process is known as friction stir welding (FSW) process. In this study it
has been found that heat affected zone of FSW is narrower than TIG welding and mechanical properties like tensile
strength etc. are within comfort zone and are better than TIG welding method. Microstructure results also favour
FSW. TIG welding process produces the sound joints but the newly developed method friction stir welding process
gives better joints than TIG welding process. The effect of two welding processes on mechanical and metallurgical
properties is studied in this research work. Mechanical properties of the welded joints were evaluated and it was found that friction stir welded joints have superior mechanical properties as compared to TIG welded joints. From the microstructure analysis, it was observed that fine and equiaxed grains were observed in the friction stir welded joints and coarse grains were observed in TIG welded joints.
