1. A critical study on communication skill for civil engineering student from rural areas

In the era of the world, English is the much more broadly spoken language. It is spoken the English language almost surrounding world and has achieved in the minds and hearts of people especially from the rural students want to learn the second language in any situation or condition. Communication is one of the media for expressing our ideas, views, thought, feelings and emotions to each other. Every parent wants their children to learn English for which they are ready to spend any amount of physical labor and financial assistance. The daily wager expected to his children to study in the English medium schools for the development of communication. This awareness of communication has come among the rural people. English has become common and official language of the people today in the computer world in India which is multi-cultural country. English is introduced here at the primary level and secondary level and its inclusion continue until the tertiary level of education. Most of the students of the primary schools in rural areas are weak in the English language due to unskilled and untrained teachers who are familiar to the modern methods and availability of lack of materials for teaching in the classroom. People and students from rural areas who are want to acquire the speaking skills of English by any sources, coaching centers, spoken English classes etc. It is must need of the hour for rural students to learn the importance of speaking skills of English today.

10. A case study on grid integrated solar roof-top PV system

With advances in technology and industrial development, there is an increase in the consumption of electrical energy. However, the rapid exhaustion of conventional fossil fuels to produce electrical energy has provoked the engineers to find sustainable means of electrical energy generation from renewable resources. Amongst all renewable resources, solar energy produces promising results. There has been a lot of research and development in the field of Solar PV systems. Hence, with recent advancements in solar technologies, the PV systems have become more efficient and cost-effective. There is a little awareness and knowledge about the implementation of Solar PV system amongst common people. The other main issue is the space required for installing solar panels for power generation. In this paper, efforts are made to create awareness and encourage people to adopt and implement solar roof-top PV system for sustainability and a better environment. This paper involves a case study on installation of roof-top solar PV system at RRR Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. Turbhe, Navi Mumbai. The paper provides a feasibility analysis in terms of both economics and design complexities using a Top-Down approach. The analysis suggests that grid integrated roof-top system is a more viable solution for city areas where available open space for the solar panels is the main constraint. If grid integrated PV systems are implemented on open rooftops in cities, it would become versatile utilization of roof-tops which otherwise would have been left unutilized. So, the study concludes that a simple grid-tied solar PV system is feasible to be implemented on any roof-top area in cities at an individual level with affordable expenses. Thus, popularizing the implementation of grid-integrated solar roof-top PV system makes productive utilization of roof-tops as well as contributes substantially towards sustainability and environment.

12. Magnitude of information technology and social media in Indian politics

When we talk about India and Information Technology (IT) sector, India has always been a great exporter of IT talent. Most of the executive working for the IT companies abroad are of Indian Origin. Maybe that’s the reason why it took so long for India to become an IT developing country. When we talk about IT, two major components which come are Mobile Phone and Social Networking. Not long back, just 6 or maybe 7 years ago who would have thought that the world today will be completely dependent on Mobile Phones and Social Networking. The Maps or ordering food, the Indian citizens completely rely on the technology around. From the poor to the rich everyone is relishing the assistance of the Internet. With this source of internet, many third-parties have been utilizing IT for their benefit as well. Whether its product advertising, news or image building, the internet has been an oracle in every possible way. Politics is one of the most selling topics in India. Since last 5 years, social media is the key constituent for all Political Parties and Politicians for connecting with the people. As per general discussion with few citizens, most of them know their local politician by social networking site than on ground level marketing. Any updates of completed work or upcoming events are being shared by political parties on the social networking platform. Because of this, the hoarding & marketing cost has been reduced. Even a person working as a volunteer in politics has his/her social networking account which is used for connecting with people.

13. Finding the optimal cost for transportation of plywood and hardware in Mumbai

Transportation of raw materials within a city can be quite a daunting task. Various problems such as traffic conditions, temporary shut-down of roads, parking issues and low quantity of good increases the per unit cost of transportation and make it infeasible for the seller. The objective of this study is to provide a cost-minimizing solution by using the Modified Distribution Method on the transportation model. We quantify our hypothesis by using real life data of transportation of raw materials used by a furniture making firm based in Mumbai. Furthermore, additional restrictions were added to our model to reflect the real life problems that arise in transporting raw materials. The results showed that we were able to reduce the cost of transportation from ₹2,17,26,000 (quoted by the owner of the firm) to ₹1,98,50,000 (calculated using MODI method) by using the scientific method of the transportation problem. But when applying conditions like traffic movement & congestions and parking difficulties we notice an increase in cost. In conclusion, applying the Modified Distribution can help a firm manage its costs well and quote the appropriate price so as to not be in a loss-making solution.

18. Perceptions of youth involvement in public policy making: A case study of selected areas within the La Nkwantanang Municipal Assembly, Ghana

The perceptions of youth involvement in public policymaking have been subject of discussion amongst various scholars around the globe. With youth confirming their displeasure in many ways (such as demonstrations and violent acts) about the failure of the communist authorities in involving them in policies that affect their present and future life, this study sought to investigate their perceptions of involvement in policymaking. In addressing these concerns the youth involvement model and political system model as well as objectives such as examining the relationship, effect and significance between youth involvement and public policy making in three communities within the La-Nkwantanang municipal assembly (the suburb of Accra Ghana) were included. Using the regression model with a quantitative approach as well as a random sampling technique to administering an adapted structured questionnaire to 120 sampled youth, results indicated that factors of youth involvement positively relate to public policy-making while views gathered indicated that youth-adult partnership factor relates more and should be a better approach to enhancing public policymaking. Secondly, results indicated that perceptions of youth involvement have a positive effect on public policy making. Lastly, perceptions of youth involvement were significant to public policymaking. It was however recommended that synergizing youth involvement factors such as community readiness, youth-adult partnership, youth leadership, and decision making as well as youth diversity will go along the way to limit the challenges that come with including the youth in public policy reforms.

20. Parameter tuning in firefly algorithm

Optimization means to find the best solution for any situation under given constraints. In today’s era, the problems are huge and complex. Nature always finds a way to deal with such problems efficiently in an optimized way. The computational algorithms which are inspired by nature to find solutions for such problems are called Nature inspired optimization algorithms. There are various nature-inspired algorithms and Firefly Algorithm (FA) is one among them. FA is a bio-inspired population-based stochastic algorithm which imitates the behavior of fireflies shown when they attract other fireflies. FA is an algorithm with many parameters that affect the accuracy and the convergence speed. A number of variants and parameter tuning related papers are available in the literature. In this paper first an introduction of Optimization, specifically Nature inspired optimization has been provided. Then, a detailed discussion about FA has been given. It is followed by a brief literature survey in which the work has been compared in tabular form to provide the readers with a better understanding. Further, we intend to improve the accuracy of Firefly algorithm by tuning the parameters namely α and βmin. A range of values of the above parameters is tested by forming their combinations to find out the mutual effect of both these parameters. These values are tested on a test bed of nine benchmark functions. The result is a combination of optimized values of both the parameters. The results are quite clear and provide a pair of optimized values of both the parameters.

25. A review at storage systems and pipelining

An external storage device is a device that contains all the addressable storage that is not inside computers main memory. It has types including removable and non-removable, permanent and non-permanent. External storage is often used to store information that’s accessed less frequently by applications running on a desktop, laptop, server or mobile devices, such as an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. When moving large amounts of data to the cloud, providers will usually use external storage devices in a practice commonly referred to as cloud seeding. Pipelining is an implementation technique in which more than one instruction is overlapped in execution. The computer pipeline is divided into stages. Each stage performs and finishes a part of an instruction in parallel. The stages are related and connected one to the next to form a pipe – instructions enter at one end, progress through the stages, and exit at the other end. Pipelining does not decrease the time span essential for individual instruction execution. Instead, it enhances instruction throughput. The throughput of the instruction pipeline is estimated and evaluated by how often an instruction exits the pipeline. Under these constraints, the progress rate from pipelining equals the number of pipe stages. Usually, the stages will not be accurately well balanced; besides, the pipelining itself involves some overlook on the inner aspect. Pipelining is usually viewed as reducing the C.P.I. (Cycles Per Interval)

27. Review on relationship between compiler design and computer architecture

A compiler is a software structure which achieves the job of compiling and executing High-Level Language codes with the hardware computer architectures present. Previously, applications were often made through assembly language programming or for a specific kernel. Compiler technology and its influence on hardware performance were isolated from the architecture and its performance. However, now the compiler significantly affects the performance of a computer. Hence, understanding compiler technology is critical to the design and efficient implementation of an instruction set. Although the compilers are designed as per the language to be executed upon, their efficient functioning very much depends on the hardware used. A perfect balance between compilers and computer architectures, which varies according to the code to be executed, is the key to fruitful designing of highly efficient and effective computer systems. It is very imperative to study the relations of computer architecture and compiler from embedded microcontrollers to large-scale multiprocessor systems. There are some aspects to which the compiler and the computer architecture must agree, such as regularity, orthogonality, and compensability. So, the construction of a good compiler rests on both compiler design and computer architecture. There is an evident mutual dependency.

28. Hybrid technique to enhance image for better image segmentation

Segmentation is a technique to break the image into parts. But to get better segmentation there is a condition that image must be free from noise. To get image free from noise denoising model is used which remove the noise by producing the required pixel and also correct the incorrect pixel. Here image taken is an X-ray image, In this paper, the 3×3 matrix window is taken. In this window average of the pixel value is calculated. This algorithm rechecks the best fitness value of each pixel and makes appropriate changes. But due to Recovery, it needs some enhancement. So to get enhanced image enhancement technique is applied to enhance the image as an original image. Then the segmentation is applied to get a segmented image. The performance of the proposed model has been estimated under various experiments. The results are found improved for all of the dataset images on the basis of PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) and SSIM (structural similarity) based parameters.

31. Evaluation of STPs in Jamshedpur city: design of a 45mld STP and reuse option in Jamshedpur city

Effluent quality of the treated wastewater is an important parameter for its reuse. Comprehensive data on the raw and treated effluent of domestic, medical, industrial effluent characteristic are not available in Jamshedpur city, therefore a comparative study of the existing treatment plants in the city was carried out to access the effluent quality for present and future reuse. The study further evaluates the water of 6 STPs in Jamshedpur and 1 STP in Puri. For the reuse of the treated wastewater four parameters are necessary to check i.e. BOD, COD, TSS, pH which was carried out in the study. These STPs are based on the Activated Sludge Process (ASP), Anaerobic treatment (UASBR), BIOFORE, MBBR. STPs employing MBBR and UASBR technology showed the better removal of COD, BOD, and TSS removal as compared to other treatment process based on STPs. There could be improvisation in the current wastewater treatment for better treatment so; a proposed treatment scheme is designed for wastewater treatment plant after the study of different treatment plants. Based upon the physical, chemical, and microbiological removal efficiencies, the actual integrated efficiency of each STP was calculated (IEa) to evaluate its suitability for reuse in irrigation, gardening, and industrial purpose. Two biggest plants of Jamshedpur “kharkai” and “bara” required modification in the treatment process for better reuse of the effluent. Possible reuse option in Jamshedpur and Puri depending on the geographical location has been investigated which include gardening, automobile washing, boiler feed, cooling towers, irrigation, etc. All the experiments were done in Bara laboratory and some necessary data were taken from JUSCO Ltd (Jamshedpur).

34. A coordinated control scheme of PSS and comparison of FACTS devices for improving power system stability

Nowadays, the continuous growth in power demand leads to expansion of the Power System network which makes existing system more sensitive and prone to instability. An important issue associated with the stability of a multi-area power system is low-frequency electromechanical oscillations from the multi-machine system. Generally, Power System Stabilizer (PSS) are used to compensate low-frequency electromechanical oscillation of interconnected Power System, but local PSS does not have global observance and controllability of inter-area low-frequency oscillation because of a control signal of local PSS and generated a local signal. So next resolution is Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device with supplementary controller, that are used for effective damping of low-frequency electromechanical oscillations of interconnected Power System and to improve Power System stability. This paper presents Coordination control of PSS and FACTS Devices to damp out low-frequency electromechanical oscillation. In this research study, we use different FACTS Devices like Static VAR Compensator (SVC), Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), and Unified Power Flow Compensator (UPFC) to damp out low frequency electromechanical oscillation from a Multi-machine Power System and improve the stability of Interconnected Power System. Analyzing result of all FACTS devices on simulation, we found that UPFC gives a better response. Due to re-activeness, FACTS device like UPFC are considered and assessed for their damping controller design. In this research, we studied the implementation of supplementary Power Oscillation Damping (POD) Controller to control UPFC. POD Controller are designed to improve the dynamic performance of interconnected Power System under the transient condition to stabilize Power System. Some simulation results are carried out on Kundur Two area Four Machine systems under small disturbances. From simulation result, it reveals that the proposed controller damp-out low-frequency electromechanical oscillations effectively to improve Power System stability under small disturbance.

37. A survey on diminishing schemes for visible light communication

In the visible light communication in which data is superimposed on light, the communication range is visible. In pulse position modulation, for instance, when one image utilizes four openings, quad data can be sent by turning on just a single space among the four openings and killing the other three openings. In this strategy, the brightness becoming ¼ and feels not flicker but rather darker than when it is always on. Then again, when-when inverted pulse position modulation in which these openings of ON and OFF are switched is utilized, since one space is OFF, and three openings are ON, the brightness becomes 3/4, which does not turn out to be too dark. In this paper, we analyzed a crossbreed adjustment that can change the brilliance other than 1/4(25%) or 3/4(75%) by joining these pulse position modulation and reversed heartbeat position modulation. Visible Light Communication (VLC) utilizing light discharging diodes (LEDs) is an innovation that gives a chance to rapid minimal effort remote correspondence, being an option for successful and effective correspondence that can adapt to the real fast remote administrations request. This paper focuses around darkening mechanism that can be implemented in VLC frameworks to save energy and give exact illumination control. The inspiration behind this control mechanism, decrease and flow difficulties in down to earth usage, driver hardware, ongoing advancement, and future prospects are additionally concisely introduced.

54. Survey on black hole

A Black hole is a region of space from which nothing, including light, can escape. According to the general theory
of relativity, it is the result of the curving of space-time caused by being composed of dense mass. Around a black
hole, there is a position of no return, called the event horizon. Stellar black holes are made when the center of the very
big star falls in upon itself, or collapses. When this happens, it causes a supernova. A supernova is an exploding
star that blasts part of the star into space. Scientists think supermassive black holes were made at the same time
as the galaxy they are in.
Around a black hole, there is a position of no return, called the event horizon. It is called “Black” because it
absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics.
The name also said to be taken from the black hole incidence happened in Calcutta. Under the theory of quantum
mechanics black holes have a temperature and emit Hawking radiation, which makes them slowly get smaller.

60. Effect of waviness in the bearing on the life of rotating element

Rotating structures or more general structures with constant but otherwise arbitrary velocity are important elements of machinery as rotor shafts and blades of the propellers, helicopters or the wind turbines. Vibrations in such structures require special attention. The vibrations may cause a reduction in the life cycle of the rotating elements. But it must be noted that some vibration frequencies can be acceptable for the rotating element to sustain its life cycle. Sometimes, the vibrations may not have any impact on the life of the rotating element. That is the reason this study is undertaken. This project intends to study the impact of vibrations on the life cycle of the rotating elements when the vibrations are due to waviness in the bearing. One of the main objectives of the project is to study the frequency at which the elements can be rotated with waviness in the bearing without affecting the life cycle of the elements. In this project, the 3D model of the bearing and rotating elements is modeled in modeling software and analyzed in ANSYS. Then the vibration frequencies for which the rotating element will sustain its life is analyzed using Vibration and Fatigue analysis in ANSYS. Then for that frequency, an experimental analysis is conducted for evaluating the rpm of the rotating elements.

61. Effects of combined osmotic drying methods on quality characteristics of orange slice

Orange is a food with high content of healthy nutrients and it has great tradition and economic importance in Valencia. The development of new orange products would be a good way to promote the consumption of this fruit, improving the nutritional health of society. In this way, the osmotic dehydration (OD) has been widely used for conservation and design of new products from fruits. Orange slices have been osmotically dehydrated using as osmotic agents healthy sweeteners sucrose. Tray drying of orange slices was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, osmosis was carried out using three different concentrations of sugar solution (40%,50%,60%) with 1.5% potassium metabisulphite (KMS) at 600 c temperature were maintain for 16 hour. The combination of different samples was slightly increased with different storage period. The combined effect of solution temperature, sugar concentration and time of moisture loss was investigated by developing treatment combinations. It was found that relationship exists between moisture loss and solution temperature, sugar concentration and time. The final conditions of osmotic dehydration were determined on the basis of permissible moisture loss in orange slices and were found as 60% sugar solution concentration, 600c solution temperature and 16 hour time. The best process temperature was selected on the basis of statistical analysis of quality parameters, namely, rehydration ratio, dehydration ratio, sugar content, carbohydrate content, protein content fat content, ash content vitamin C content acid and sensory quality parameters(color ,texture taste, appearance, overall acceptability) and it was 600 C tray drying temperature requiring 16 hour drying time.

65. Study of different blind spot detection techniques

A blind spot in a vehicle is an area around the vehicle that cannot be directly observed by the driver while at the controls. Blind spots exist in a wide range of vehicles: aircraft, cars, motorboats, sailboats, and trucks. Other types of transport have no blind spots at all, such as bicycles, horses, and motorcycles. Blind spots represent an extreme danger for motorists, especially at highway speeds; each year, thousands of accidents happen when drivers change lanes and collide with other vehicles that were in their blind spots. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, blind spot-related accidents are responsible for more than 800,000 accidents and more than 300 fatalities each year. These accidents are especially difficult to avoid because even practicing defensive driving is not always enough to prevent them; you cannot react to a vehicle that you cannot see. Proper adjustment of mirrors and use of other technical solutions can eliminate or alleviate vehicle blind spots. The goal of this paper is to study different blind spot detection techniques and to have a comparison between them.

68. The physics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI is an acronym for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI is used in radiology and it is one of the scanning technologies where magnetism, radio waves, and a computer are used to take the total image of the body structures. The chief advantage of the MRI is to give clear images of the soft-tissue structure where other imaging techniques fail to give without any effect to the patient.MRI is based on the interaction of magnetic properties of hydrogen with both a large external magnetic field and radio waves, which send signals to the body and then receive signals back. These returning signals are converted into images by a computer attached to the scanner. Imaging of any part of the body can be obtained in any plane. This Article gives a brief idea about the history, construction, working principle of MRI which includes Nuclear spin, Larmour,s frequency, T1 and T2 relaxation and T1 and T2 weighted images.

71. Study on effective utilization of waste materials in the construction of pavements

Research into new and innovative uses of waste material is continually advancing. Many highway agencies, a private organization, and individuals are in the process of a wide variety of studies and research projects concerning the feasibility, environmental suitability, and performance of using recycled products in highway construction. The amount of wastes has increased year by year and the disposal becomes a serious problem. Particularly, the recycling ratio of the plastic wastes in life and industry is very low and many of them have been reclaimed for the reason of unsuitable ones for incineration. It is necessary to utilize the wastes effectively with technical development in each field. Expansive soils are so widely spread that it becomes impossible to avoid them for highway construction to keep the network structure for mobility and accessibility. However, the roads constructed on expansive soils suffer extensive damage and distress resulting in large economic losses running to billions of dollars. As thermal power plants are spatially distributed all over the country, utilization of flyash from these plants for the road construction, not only helps to consume bulk quantities of fly ash solving its disposal problem to a certain extent but also to satisfy the construction requirements. Reinforcement of soils with synthetic fibers is potentially an effective Technique for increasing soil strength. In recent years, this technique has been suggested for a variety of geotechnical applications ranging from retaining structure and earth embankments to subgrade stabilization beneath footings and pavements. Research on a different type of reinforcement and materials has been conducted by several investigators. However, the amount of information available on randomly oriented fiber reinforcement is still limited. Here an attempt is made to the suitability of different types of waste plastics strips and waste tire rubber chips reinforcing with gravel and flash in flexible pavement system on expansive soil subgrade.

72. A study on strengthening of soil using stabilized flyash

In the present study, I tried to prove soil stabilization using stabilized flyash. for the stabilization of flyash, we need to improve the flash properties by adding some admixtures. in the present study, we are using lime and sodium silicate as additives to improve the soil properties. Individual geotechnical parameters like grain size distribution, liquid limit, OMC, MDD, Specific gravity and angle of internal friction of Fly ash were determined and then Fly ash was mixed with different proportions of lime (2-15%) and sodium silicate (1-4%). These mixes were tested to obtain the optimum percentage of lime and sodium silicate. The variation in shear parameters like cohesion and angle of shearing resistance was studied by conducting a direct shear test. All the tests were performed after a time period of 3hours starting from the completion of preparation of the sample. Each test was performed for the normal stresses of 0.5kg/cm2, 1kg/cm2, 1.5kg/cm2, 2kg/cm2 and 2.5 kg/cm2. The results are compiled in a graphical form to observe the trends for shear parameters. The results show remarkable improvement in strength characteristics for higher percentages of lime and sodium silicate. The Major challenge on behalf of engineers especially civil engineers is the disposal of industrial waste products and their storage. Nowadays most of the industries reusing the wastes in different areas like civil constructions, treatment of materials and others. This reuse of wastes is essential to overcome the hazardous effects of wastes on the environment. Fly Ash is one of the industrial wastes produced every year throughout the country. Fly ash is a fine powder obtained from burning of coal during the production of electricity. Disposal of Fly ash is a big problem, to minimize the disposal of Fly ash into large land, it was used as a construction material in civil engineering works like building materials embankments, and bricks making etc.

73. Effect of partial replacement of sand by glass powder and steel powder over the properties of M-30 concrete

In the present research, a series of experiments had been performed to compare the use of glass powder and steel powder as partial replacement of sand in different proportions. Concrete mixes are modified by 10%, 15% and 20% and 25% of glass powder and steel powder in replacement. The inclusion of glass powder increases the compressive strength up-to certain proportions. It has also been noted that with the increase in the content of glass powder decreases the slump value or workability. It has also been noted that with the increase in the content of supplementary materials decreases the slump value or workability. Comparatively higher early strength gain (7-days) is obtained with steel powder concrete.

74. Encrypted data management with deduplication in cloud computing

Cloud computing plays an important role in supporting data storage, processing, and management in the Internet of Things (IoT). To preserve cloud data confidentiality and user privacy, cloud data are often stored in an encrypted form. However, duplicated data that are encrypted under different encryption schemes could be stored in the cloud, which greatly decreases the utilization rate of storage resources, especially for big data. Several data deduplication schemes have recently been proposed. However, most of them suffer from security weakness and lack of flexibility to support secure data access control. Therefore, few can be deployed in practice. This article proposes a scheme based on attribute-based encryption (ABE) to deduplicate encrypted data stored in the cloud while also supporting secure data access control. The authors evaluate the scheme’s performance based on analysis and implementation. Results show the efficiency, effectiveness, and scalability of the scheme for potential practical deployment. To ensure data privacy, existing research proposes to outsource only encrypted data to CSPs. However, the same or different users could save duplicated data under different encryption schemes at the cloud. Existing solutions for deduplication are vulnerable to brute-force attacks2 and can’t flexibly support data access control and revocation (see the “Related Work in Data Deduplication” sidebar for a discussion of some other work in this area). Existing industrial solutions fail in encrypted data deduplication. A scheme based on attribute-based encryption (ABE) is proposed to deduplicate encrypted data stored in the cloud while at the same time supporting secure data access control. proposes to outsource only encrypted data to CSPs. However, the same or different users could save duplicated data under different encryption schemes at the cloud. Although cloud storage space is huge, this kind of duplication wastes networking resources, consumes excess power, and complicates data management. intra-user deduplication and interdeduplication.6 In their scheme, the ciphertext C of convergent encryption is further encrypted with a user key and transferred to the servers. However, it doesn’t deal with data sharing after deduplication among different users. Implementation is the stage of the project when the theoretical design is turned out into a working system. Thus it can be considered to be the most critical stage in achieving a successful new system and in giving the user, confidence that the new system will work and be effective. The implementation stage involves careful planning, investigation of the existing system and it’s constraints on implementation, designing of methods to achieve changeover and evaluation of changeover methods. In this project the following modules are used: i) Cloud Computing ii) Inter And Intra User iii) Deduplication. Various cloud service providers (CSPs) offer huge volumes of storage to maintain and manage IoT data, which can include videos, photos, and personal health records. These CSPs provide desirable service properties, such as scalability, elasticity, fault tolerance, and pay per use. Thus, cloud computing has become a promising service paradigm to support IoT applications and IoT system deployment. Thus, saving storage is becoming a crucial task for CSPs. Deduplication can achieve high space and cost savings, reducing up to 90 to 95 percent of storage needs for backup applications and up to 68 percent in standard file systems. Inter And Intra User:- At the same time, data owners want CSPs to protect their personal data from unauthorized access. CSPs should, therefore, perform access control based on the data owner’s expectations. In addition, data owners want to control not only data access but also its storage and usage. a data owner that stores its data at the CSP (we assume there’s only one data owner for one data M); and • data holders (ui, i = 1, . . . , n) that are eligible data users and could save the same data as the data owner at the CSP. That is, the same data, although in an encrypted form, is only saved once at the cloud but can be accessed by different users based on the data owners’ policies. Data-Deduplication:- Data deduplication should cooperate with data access control mechanisms. That is, the same data, although in an encrypted form, is only saved once at the cloud but can be accessed by different users based on the data owners’ policies. current industrial deduplication solutions can’t handle encrypted data. Existing solutions for deduplication are vulnerable to brute-force attacks and can’t flexibly support data access control and revocation (see the “Related Work in Data Deduplication” sidebar for a discussion of some other work in this area). Few existing schemes for cloud data access control support data deduplication simultaneously, and few can ensure flexibility and security with a sound performance for cloud data deduplication that data owners control directly. Algorithms:- Cyphertext Policy ABE (CP-ABE) or Key Policy ABE (KP-ABE):- Attribute-based encryption is a type of public-key encryption in which the secret key of a user and the ciphertext are dependent upon attributes (e.g. the country in which he lives, or the kind of subscription he has). In such a system, the decryption of a ciphertext is possible only if the set of attributes of the user key matches the attributes of the ciphertext. A crucial security aspect of Attribute-Based Encryption is collusion-resistance: An adversary that holds multiple keys should only be able to access data if at least one individual key grants access. Encryption Algorithm:- In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. Encryption does not of itself prevent interception but denies the message content to the interceptor. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm Decryption. There are many modern key-based cryptographic techniques. These are divided into two classes: symmetric and asymmetric (also called public/private) key cryptography. In symmetric key cryptography, the same key is used for both encryption and decryption.

78. Women safety system using Raspberry Pi

In today’s world, women come across many situations that make them feel unsafe. Women from various walks of life face situations that make them feel threatened in different environments. Sixty six percent of women have reported sexual harassment in the year 2010 in New Delhi. It has also been proven that in urban environments, women are more prone to experience harassment especially in developing countries. In such situations, the aid of a safety device that will inform the victim’s family members or the authorities (in Severe situations) may help women feel safer, confident and reduce the chances of harassment. Though there are a few Smartphone based solutions for the same, it might not be possible for the victim to reach for her phone in some situations without the knowledge of the perpetrator. In this approach, the focuses on a security system that is designed merely to serve the purpose of providing security to women so that they never feel helpless while facing such social challenges. An advanced system can be built that can capture the video of the event as well as send the emergency messages of the victim through GSM to respective mobile numbers. The idea to develop a smart system for women is completely comfortable and also easy to use as compared to existing women security solutions such as infamous mobile apps, bulky belts and the separate garment that are just very abstract and obsolete.

83. Design and analysis of hexagonal fin for air cooled engines

Major automobile engine components are subjected to wear and thermal stress due to high temperature during combustion. Fins are used to increase the heat transfer rate of an I.C. Engine. In an internal combustion engine, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted to thermal energy to give a mechanical work as output. There is a large amount of heat is liberated to the combustion of fuel in which only a few amounts of energy is converted into useful work (60%-80% approx.) and the remaining energy is wasted. This heat is first conducted to engine cylinder and dissipated to air through extended surface called fins. In an air-cooled engine, the low rate of heat transfer is the main problem. To avoid this, the engine’s fins are modified by changing the geometry of the cooling fins. All materials are showing a linear distribution of temperature alongside the length of fins. Also, the hexagonal shape fins increase the heat flux by converting the fin geometry from a rectangular shape to hexagonal and thus reduce the wear of engine parts and knocking of the engine.

88. Analytical method development for combination pesticides of picloram and fluroxypyr by reverse phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)

The herbicide is the part of the pesticide, these herbicide are normally used to control the weeds in the cultivation period. The quality of the herbicide has to be effective and the degradation should be fast. After the usage, the soil fertility has to be maintained without any environmental chain changes. There are many herbicides are available to control weeds or unwanted plants in the cultivation processes. Many of the herbicides are used to control the grass or very small plants, which has a very week in the structure. The Picloram herbicide used to control especially the plant which has strong stem and branches. The usage is unique and this herbicide has to be used carefully to maintain the required cultivated plants during the plantation or cultivation period. There are few herbicides are available to control wood plants. The specialty of the picloram herbicide will not have any action on the grass. Fluroxypyr is another molecule being used as a herbicide in the cultivation industry. The chemical nature of this molecule is similar to that of the picloram molecule. The Fluroxypyr is consisting of the pyridine molecule basically. Fluroxypyr has fluorine, chlorine, amine and an ether arrangement in its structure. This Fluroxypyr is used to control woody plant which has broadleaf. This molecule also has the electronegative structural annulments in it has more penetration power through roots of the plants. Mostly this Fluroxypyr is being used to control weeds in the place where the cultivations are normally carried out. These Picloram + Fluroxypyr molecules were separated through a mobile phase consisting of the mixture of acetonitrile and water (fortified with 0.5% of formic acid) in the ratio of 40:60 v/v. The separation was achieved through the Qualisil BDS C8 (250 x 4, 5μ) column with the flow rate as 1.5 ml/min with the detection at 254 nm. These method parameters were loaded in the Shimadzu HPLC (model: LC-2030). The LC solution Shimadzu software was used for all the calculations in this analytical method validation analysis. The results of the study showed that the proposed RP-HPLC method is simple, rapid, precise and accurate, which is useful for the identification and quantifications of these molecules interims of validation parameters viz., separation, system suitability, System Precision and linearity in a simple HPLC analysis.

99. Center pivot and lateral move irrigation system

Our country India is an agricultural country. About 70% of the total population of India is, directly and indirectly, depend upon agriculture of or their livelihood and other similar needs. The tremendously increasing population of our country has put an extraordinary stress on the farming sector. The climatic conditions of South Asia are dependent upon Monsoon and our country is under the full influence of it. Therefore, availability of water to crops at the time of requirement is an indispensable thing to get maximum production of crops to meet the food production target of the nation. At this stage, it becomes unrealistic to depend solely on the natural source of water i.e rain. Hence at that time, artificial irrigation comes to the scenario. Presently in India, Drip & Sprinkler irrigation are being practiced. This method represents one of such modern method of irrigation which has yet to fetch an attention of Indian farmers. The Centre Pivot method of irrigation is a unique methodology to irrigate crops in the circular pattern. This method may also refer as overhead sprinkler irrigation, waterwheel irrigation or circle irrigation.

101. Heat transfer through fabricated coil type shell in tube heat exchanger

Heat transfer enhancement due to the helically coiled heat exchanger is a burning topic in the field of research. But so far, there is no experimental or theoretical analysis of a helically coiled heat exchanger considering fluid-to-fluid heat transfer published, hence intending our work on this subject by using Methanol in water solution as a cold fluid. Methanol (also known as methyl alcohol, carbonyl, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits) is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH3OH. It is the simplest alcohol and is a light, volatile, colorless, flammable, poisonous liquid with a distinctive odor that is somewhat milder and sweeter than ethanol (ethyl alcohol). At room temperature, it is a polar solvent and is used as antifreeze, solvent, and as a denaturant for ethyl alcohol. The Methanol, when prepared a solution with water, can be used as a coolant in the Heat Exchanger ( Helically Coiled Heat Exchanger in our case) to take advantage of their improved heat transfer properties which would result in enhanced heat transfer in the helical coil heat exchanger. For this purpose, a solution was prepared with varying proportion of Methanol in water. We used four concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of methanol by volume in 5 liters of water. As Water is Polar and Methanol as well. So, when we put methanol in water it gets dissolved and producing intermolecular forces i.e. hydrogen bonding. Various properties such as pH, Electrical Conductivity, Thermal Conductivity, boiling point etc. were tested.

102. Four way cutting operation in hacksaw machine

As we know that in large manufacturing industries, the cutting operation is very required for raw material, for this purpose they use conventional hacksaw machine for cutting operation. In that type of machine single piece can cut at a time by using an electric motor. Also, one labor utilizes for same. So it is time-consuming and comparatively costly. Therefore we have manufactured a four-way hack-saw machine which is used for cutting job simultaneously, this four-way hack-saw machine uses single motor four cutting job at the same time while in conventional hack-saw machine single motor is used for cutting one job only. Conversion of rotary motion of dc motor into reciprocating motion is obtained by using the eccentric cam. By making such type of machine, cutting operation time as well as labor working time can be reduced. Since such a hack-saw machine gives more productivity than a conventional cutting hack-saw machine, it can be used in manufacturing industries where automation is required. It can be also used in industries where labor availability is less. In this present work, we manufactured a model of four-way hacksaw machine, so we use light duty of structural parts and crank mechanism, a capacity of an electric motor is also very low. But in future, if we want to use such type of machine in industry, we can manufacture it by using heavy duty of body structure and all other required parts.

105. Self tuned PID based speed control of BLDC motor

Brushless DC Motors (BLDCM) have found immerse applications in automobile, automation, consumer electronics, medical and industrial applications due to their high efficiency, long operating life ratio of torque delivered to the size and fast dynamic response. In a brushless motor, the rotor incorporates the magnets, and the stator contains the windings. Commutation is implemented electronically with electronic speed controller (ESC) which uses the semiconductor switches to change the current in the windings based on the motor back EMF. PID controller is designed in MATLAB Simulink software and PID gains are tuned using an auto-tuning method. Digital PID controller is then implemented on FPGA as it provides greater flexibility and higher resources for implementing control algorithms. FPGA (PID controller) receives back EMF output from BLDC motor and generates the gate pulses which drive the switches of the electronic speed controller. The actual speed of the motor is compared with the reference speed given and the error signal is processed in a PID controller to obtain the required pulse width. As the motor rotates, feedback (back EMF) signals are produced in accordance with the rotor position. Three phase voltages are produced from ESC after they receive the decoded signals. These voltages are fed as input to the motor and it rotates at a required speed

106. Multi-criteria inventory classification for retailers using Artificial Neural Network

This paper presents an artificial neural network technique which is used for classification of multi-criteria inventory for retailers. The control of large inventory items is not possible for maximum profit with an equal attention. Generally, single criteria inventory classification is followed by inventory manager such as total cost. It has been realized that for retail organizations the single criteria inventory classification is less effective, So, instead of cost, there are some other criteria which are more important, which are profit per unit, demand of the item, shelf-life, of an item and lead time to the store. So a multi-criteria approach has been used here for inventory classification of retail outlets. For this purpose, the artificial neural network technique has been used the classification of inventory has carried out by pattern recognition and classification tool in MATLAB software. For training, the network scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation is used in this work. So, a classifier model is trained for the classification of multi-criteria inventory and prediction of inventory based on an expert system which can classify any number of items in retail outlets.

112. Evolution of E-business with E-Human Resource Management

Electronic commerce technologies are changing the way that works tasks are conducted and thus has significant implications for the way organizations manage their human resource functions. Although the impact of IT on work and employment has been the subject of research, little attention has been paid to electronic commerce and its effect on work organization and HR management. Currently, concepts such as e-business or e-commerce have found their place and applicability inside the global economy with ease, knowing it promoted models exhibiting an accelerated rate of development, well above the usual average growth rate of the traditional economy. Business markets are becoming smaller day by day because of increasing globalization and market competition. For this reason, organizations are adopting internet human resource based systems called the “Electronic Human Resource Management (E-HRM)”. E-HRM involves the adoption and use of web-based technologies with an aim of providing Human Resource Management (HRM) services for employees within the organization. The line managers conduct and arrange the evaluation and development; using desktop computers in the EHRM system, training, and planning, assess labor cost evaluation, and examination of indicators for each absenteeism and turnover among employees. e-HRM systems are supported by dedicated software that is mainly produced or supplied by a private supplier separated from the owners’ organization. Therefore, e-HRM can be defined as the planning, application, and implementation of information technology that is important for networking as well as supporting collective actors who must be more than two individuals to perform shared human resource activities. Employees can gain access to information through the typical use of the internet or channels of web technology. This, in turn, leads to managers and employees empowerment with an aim of increasing their efficiency in performing certain functions of HR and this also relieves some of the burdens on the HR department most of the tasks hence allowing employees to focus more on the strategic elements and less on the operational elements.

114. Performance characteristics of bio diesel from castor oil with additives

The Paper mainly focuses on the constantly increasing demand for energy can result in a huge crisis at the end of fossil fuels era Biodiesel, with a history of more than a century, has always been a possible applicant. Biodiesel fuels have the ability to become a decent alternative for diesel which is used fairly to meet the present energy requirements Biodiesel can be produced from new or used vegetable oils, non-edible sources and animal fats, which are non-toxic, biodegradable and renewable. In vegetable oils, castor seed has higher oil yield than other oils Straight vegetable oils pose operational and permanency problems when subjected to long-term usages in diesel engines. These problems are projected too high viscosity, low volatility and polyunsaturated character of vegetable oils. The process of Transesterification is found to be an effective method of reducing vegetable oil viscosity and extinguishing operational and durability problems. In spite of the many advantages of using biodiesel, biodiesels produce higher NOx emissions compared to diesel, which is a deterrent to the market expansion of these fuels. Metal-based additives play a vital role in reducing NOx emission. In this thesis, performance analysis and other emission characteristics in a diesel engine without modification of Castor oil methyl ester and its blends with and without additive are done and compared with diesel. Results show higher blends of Castor oil have lower NOx emission and lower performance characteristics and vice versa for other blends of Castor oil.

122. Effect on concrete properties using recron fiber with fly ash

Extensive experimental investigation on recron fiber with fly ash reinforced concrete was carried out by researchers. Recron fiber mesh is more effective in resisting bending and punching shear. Recron Fibers are most popular metallic fibers used for the production of Recron Fiber Reinforced Concrete particularly from the point of view of strength and ductility. Experiments were conducted for both Ordinary Concrete and Recron Fibre Concrete with different percentages of Recron fibers. An experimental investigation is to study the variation in strength characteristics of concrete structural elements, for the proportion of M20 grade. In each mixes containing different percentages of fly ash is replaced by means of cement starting from 0% as normal concrete, i.e. controlled concrete 10%, 20%, and 30%, and two percentages of natural Recron fibers 0.25% and 0.5% the number of specimens cast for each case It was observed that as the addition of recent fibers to concrete mix increases, the workability of concrete mix was found to decrease as compared to control mix. At an optimum dosage of RF, the increase in compressive strength of recron fiber concrete mixes compared with control mix of concrete at 28 days compressive strength is observed from 17% to 25%. The percentage increase of split tensile strength of recron fiber concrete mixes compared with control mix at 28 days is observed from 17 to 20% for 0.25%+10 recron fibers by weight of a binder. The addition of recron fibers into the concrete mixture marginally improves the compressive strength at 28 days.

125. Collection development in selected university libraries in Andhra Pradesh: A study

Collection development is a systematic and essential process of building library collection to fulfill the teaching, learning and research needs of its target users. It includes acquisition, selection, evaluation, and preservation of resources according to users‟ requirement. Collection development is not to build, but to develop the collection. This concept makes it explicit that there must be a planning behind it which necessitates an intellectual skill formulated in the way of ‘policies’. Collection development policies are usually formal written statements providing specific guidelines often varied from library to library. The elements of this process are selection, acquisition, relegation and discarding, and collection evaluation. It is a decision-making activity assuring continuity and consistency denoting how much emphasis is to be given upon individual steps in those elements and their relationship. This paper highlights the collection development of five selected university libraries of Rayalaseema region. This paper explains very elaborately the collection development as subject-wise, school-wise and also department-wise of the university and also given budget details.

129. Analysis of shape and texture based palm print recognition system for biometric identification

Biometric systems are widely used in access control and security-based applications. The goal of the biometric system is to utilize physical and/or behavioral characteristics to identify/verify the subject of interest. There are so many biometric systems that are based on physical and/or behavioral properties such as the face, iris, speech, keystroke, palmprint, retina, etc. Among these, the palmprint-based biometric system that has been investigated for over 15 years has demonstrated its applicability as a successful biometric modality. It shows a unique feature that can be obtained using texture features which are present due to the presence of palm creases, wrinkles, and ridges. Furthermore, the palmprints can be captured using low-cost sensors with a very low-resolution imaging. In this paper we propose a novel scheme for palmprint recognition using a shape and Texture-based feature (like Average gray level, Average contrast, Measure of smoothness Measure of uniformity, Entropy, Static Moment & Centroid) analysis obtained from Statistical Image Features. The palmprint image is characterized by a rich set of features including principal lines, ridges, and wrinkles. Thus, the use of an appropriate texture descriptor scheme is expected to capture this information accurately.

137. Speed control of bridgeless buck-boost converter-fed BLDC motor drive using PI controller and neuro-fuzzy controller

The devices that are typically utilized in industrial, commercial and residential applications got to undergo rectification for their correct functioning and operation. The AC supply is always vulnerable to the nonlinear loads like the inductive loads, which includes the induction and PMBLDC motors. In order to maintain a pure sinusoidal voltage at the AC source side, the Power factor Correction circuits at the source side are unavoidable. An approach of speed control of the BLDC motor by controlling the dc link voltage of the voltage source inverter (VSI) is used with a single voltage sensor. A bridgeless configuration of Buck-Boost converter is proposed that offers the elimination of the diode bridge rectifier, hence reducing the conduction losses which are related to it. This reduces the switching losses in VSI due to a low-frequency operation of VSI for electronic commutation of BLDC motor. The performance of the proposed drive is evaluated for a wide range of speed control with improved power quality at AC mains. The purpose of this paper is to control the speed of a brushless dc motor by using a PI controller and Neuro-fuzzy controller and is carried out using MATLAB/ Simulink tools and the results are validated.

149. An efficient bit error rate reduction using pulse shaping in Li-Fi technology

One of the noticeable non-linear properties in Li-Fi technology is the four-wave mixing occurrence. Mixing consequence is booming when the segment matching disorder is fulfilled. It only happens for particular groupings of fiber diffusion and signal occurrences. It is a very disagreeable transmission phenomenon happening in a translucent optical network based on Li-Fi, but it can be recycled favorably for implementing optical strategies such as wavelength converters, parametric amps, optical multiplexers or de-multiplexers, chromatic scattering compensators, as well as a gesture to noise regenerators. This paper discusses the consequence of channel spacing, dispersion, optical fiber length and the dissimilarity of input power in the Li-Fi technology to reimburse the consequence of mixing of frequencies when realized in a short haul situation. The approach used is match filtering with pulse shaping to increase the quality factor with less bit error rates and the whole simulation is taken place in MATLAB.

150. A novel approach to mitigate the MANET threats using hybrid optimizations

A MANET is a self-organizing network in which all the sensor nodes of the system are self-governing without any central system to achieve routing. Nodes energetically establish paths to one more to communicate among the nodes, trusting on the neighbor nodes to keep system connected. In this paper, the attention is on security matters associated with ad-hoc systems which are mainly required to deliver secure broadcastings and possible security measures to avoid the attacks. Based on the environment of attack, the bouts are categorized into active and passive bouts. So in this paper, the important measure is taken using swarm intelligence approach which will increase the lifetime of the network and decreases the effect of attack in the networks.

153. ATM security using fingerprint and GSM module

A wide variety of system needs reliable personal recognition system to either authorize or determine the identity of an individual demanding their services. The goal of such systems is to warrant that the rendered services are accessed only by a genuine user and no one else. In this paper, we proposed a multifactor (OTP and fingerprint) based authentication security arrangements and to enhance the security and safety of ATM and its users. Automated Teller Machine (ATM)’s nowadays are extensively used all over the world for the withdrawal of cash. But there is a number of disadvantages to these machines. Frauds attacking the automated teller machine has increased over the decade which has motivated us to use the biometrics for personal identification to procure high level of security and accuracy. This project describes a system that replaces the ATM cards and PINs by the physiological biometric fingerprint scanner. Moreover, the feature of One Time Password (OTP) imparts privacy to the users and emancipates him/her from recalling PINs.

154. The effect of organic mulch and sewage mulch on the moisture content, growth and yield of spinach

An experiment was conducted in the field (practical crop production) at SGRR (P.G) COLLEGE to determine the effect of organic Mulch on the growth and yield of spinach. The experiment was conducted between the months of October and November, 2018. The experiment was a completely line sowing pattern (cropping pattern) with treated sewage mulch (TSM) and organic compost mulch (OCM) as treatments. The no mulch (NM L) was used as a control. Spinach seedlings were planted at a spacing of 15 cm within rows and 30 cm between rows. Weeding and pest control measures were done uniformly across the treatments, when and as required. The data collected included the percentage moisture retained by the different treatments on the soil, growth parameter’s (leaf width, leaf length, leaf number, leaf area, and plant height) and yield at harvest. The results displayed a significant difference (P<0.05) between the treatments in terms of\’ the moisture retention. properties. Organic compost mulch recorded the highest mean percentage moisture retention (22.9%), followed by treated sewage mulch (20.9%) and no mulch recorded the lowest percentage moisture retention in the soil (14.4%). All the growth parameters were higher or spinach growth under TSM, followed by that grown under OCM. They were lowest under spinach grown under no mulch. The showed that mulching improved the performance of the spinach plants in terms of plant growth, moisture retention and yield.

155. Correlation of attitude of beneficiaries towards Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA)

Mahatma Gandhi’s statement holds even today as around 60 percent of the country’s populations are still living in rural areas. Gandhiji laid strong emphasis on a self-sufficient village, decentralization of economic and political powers and development of cottage industries in villages. He believed in the human capital model of development which shifts the emphasis from physical capital formation to human capital formation and from industrial development to rural development, as a basis for overall development. But a major problem of the Indian development process is its inability to generate adequate employment opportunities for the growing rural labor forces. To overcome the problems of unemployment and poverty, the wage employment schemes have been important elements and necessary in public policy of the nation’s development. They provide income transfers to poor households during periods when they suffer on account of the absence of opportunities for employment. Though in India presently prevailing poverty alleviation schemes both self and wage employment have been given considerable relief to poor families. But, most of these families even today remain vulnerable. Sustained poverty reduction in India continues to be a major target. Thus, in order to check the above-mentioned problems and with a view to improve employed days, overall economic and social life of the poorest of the poor living in rural areas, a new development strategy was enacted by the Government of India which is known as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005. It was renamed as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) on 2nd Oct 2009. it is observed that out of twelve independent variables, ten variables viz, Education, Caste, Land Holding, Social Participation, Annual Income, Occupation, Source of Information were positively and significantly correlated with attitude towards MGNREGA at 0.05 percent level of probability, other variables like Family Size, extension contact, and Economic Motivation were positively and significantly correlated with attitude towards MGNREGA at 0.01 percent level of probability. caste, social participation, land holding, annual income, occupation, and economic motivation were significantly related with an attitude of beneficiaries towards MGNREGA.

156. Constraints facing the beneficiaries in participating Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA)

Twelve years since its inception, this law has shown extraordinary promise. It has brought the right to work to the front stage of the discussion on social protection. MGNREGA represents, a significant innovation in relation to the short-term and emergency based public work tradition. Among its innovation key ones include {a} self-targeting- this means that the programme does not target people living below the poverty line. It is the nature of the work provided manual and unskilled – that determine the demand for work. {b} any household can demand up to 100 days of work that should be provided within 15 days under the penalty of the state having to pay unemployment benefits. {c} the inclusion of social audits and social accountability mechanism to increase accountability and enhance social participation. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) – offering up to 100 days work each year to rural Indians – is the largest social protection programme in the world, in terms of the number of households covered. There is a lively debate around whether MGNREGA provides a vital social safety net for the poor or merely burdens the economy. Since 2006, it has expanded to cover all districts in India, providing work to 50 million rural households in 2012/13 at a cost of US$8.9 billion. But no one has satisfactorily explained why, despite similar implementation mechanisms, there is such unevenness in outcomes. Major constraints faced by beneficiaries in MGNREGA were: employment of hundred days (per household per year) is too less in the present situation. The major suggestion was given by beneficiaries that temporary suspension of MGNREGA works during peak Agricultural season (93.33%).

157. Impact of financial assistance provided to small scale industries by IDBI and TIIC

The Government and the financial institutions are very keen on the promotion and development of small-scale industries which is capital sparing and labor-intensive sector. The shortage of finance affects the ability of the small units severely. Every kind of problem, whether it may be raw material, power, transport or marketing faced by an entrepreneur in its ultimate analysis turns out to be a problem of finance. The small industry gets elbowed out by the large and medium scale industries in the procurement of bank finance and institutional credit. A serious problem which is hampering small-scale sector is its sickness. Many small units have fallen sick due to one problem or the other. Some aggregate economic behaviors of the country such as growth in Gross National Product, availability of credit, the volume of the money supply, capital market activity or level of investment and price level fluctuations, may have an important bearing on industrial sickness in the country. The crux of the problem is very often that of finance. Small Scale Industries are very poor and have little to offer as security for raising finance. In this background, the need for financial assistance to Small Scale Industry has become desirable. Government and financial institutions are providing various opportunities and various financial assistance to small-scale industries right from their inception for their growth and development but do this assistance have a real impact on the growth and development of small-scale industries is the real aspect which needs to be analyzed. Accordingly, the study is an attempt to investigate the impact of financial assistance provided to small-scale Industries in Chennai city

158. A machine vision based approach to Cashew Kernel grading for efficient industry grade application

An algorithm for automated, image-based segregation of cashew kernels into different categories is the need of the hour to drive up the productivity of the Indian cashew industry. The aim of this study is to find a supervised learning model that will accurately recognize and classify the cashew kernel into different grades. Various image processing techniques are used to preprocess the cashew image dataset. K-means clustering is used to perform color image segmentation. Feature selection is performed first using neighborhood component analysis, followed by stepwise regression. Two multi-class classification methods are implemented. Support Vector Machines (SVM) with ‘one-vs-one’ classification and Adaptive Directed Acyclic Graph (ADAG) learning model showed satisfactory results. However, even higher accuracy is obtained by using the Random Forest classification model. Random Forests are easy to train, which makes them good for high dimensional data, with a large number of training examples. The main contribution of this work is developing a robust and efficient computer vision system that can grade cashew kernels on the industrial scale with high accuracy and without compromising much on the speed of computation.
