1. E-Pharmacy regulations in India: Past, present, and future

The advent of digitalization has taken India by storm and the pharma sector is also not left behind. The trend of purchasing medicine online is increasing and so is the number of e-pharmacy start-ups. E- Pharmacies are recent entrants in the Indian e-commerce industry and receiving attention from the government as well as global investors from the past three years. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India has published draft rules on 28th August 2018, with the heading “Sale of drugs by e-pharmacy” to bring e-pharmacies within the scope of Drug and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 by making amendments in it which currently does not distinguish between online and brick and mortar pharmacies. It aims to regulate online sale of quality medicines pan India through e-pharmacies registered under Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), India’s apex drug regulator and central licensing authority, where all records are maintained as per rules laid down. The confidentiality of patient details have to be maintained and cannot be disclosed to anyone one under any circumstances other than the central or state government as the case may be. The sale of tranquilizers, narcotic and psychotropic substances and Schedule X drugs are not permitted through e- pharmacies. The dawn of 2019 is expected to bring a brighter future for a fully legitimate and professionally managed E- Pharmacies in India.

2. Medical management of Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is a very common problem affecting women and may be primary or secondary. Pain in dysmenorrhea is mediated by hypersecretion of prostaglandins and uterine hypercontractility. Secondary dysmenorrhea is due to some underlying pathology like endometriosis, adenomyosis. The treatment options include NSAIDS as first line drugs, Oral contraceptives alone or in combination with NSAIDS or progestins. Cases refractory to combined therapy need further evaluation to rule out a secondary cause.

3. Role of contemporary therapy in treatment of dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea affects women during reproductive years and is a cause of frequent absenteeism. Conventionally dysmenorrhea has been treated by NSAIDS and oral contraceptives. They have a failure rate of >15% and are limited by side effects and may be contraindicated in others. People have used contemporary therapies for several years to relieve pain during menses and associated symptoms. These therapies include herbal therapy, heat, yoga, and physiotherapy. Each one of them is effective in relieving pain during menses and effects are almost comparable to NSAIDS and have fewer side effects. Further research is required to recommend them as first-line treatment in dysmenorrhea.

4. Fistulotomy or LIFT: Which has better outcome in management of intersphincteric and low transphincteric fistula-in-ano– A randomized prospective study

Anal Fistula in ano is an abnormal connection between ano-rectum and the perianal skin. It is a common condition with a prevalence of 12 to 28/100,000 of population per year. There are many techniques to manage this condition. The aim of each surgery is to prevent recurrence and anal incontinence with early healing with decreased post-operative morbidity. LIFT and Fistulotomy are common types of surgery used in the management of Fistula in ano. This aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of the two procedures LIFT and Fistulotomy in cases of Intersphincteric and Low Trans-sphincteric fistulas primarily in term of healing, infection, recurrence, and anal incontinence. This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Surgery at North Delhi Municipal Corporation Medical College and Hindu Rao Hospital, Delhi between April 2017 and November 2017. A total of 50 cases were taken up and assigned either procedure randomly. Patients with recurrent fistulas, complex fistulas, high fistulas, fistulas with more than one external openings and fistulas due to secondary causes (Koch’s, Crohn’s Malignancy, post-radiation) and those with systemic diseases such as diabetes, HIV, immunosuppressive conditions were excluded. The patients were followed up for maximum 12 months studying recurrence, incontinence and post-operative morbidity. Of 50 patients 45 were males and 5 females all presenting with a history of recurrent perianal discharge. All patients underwent clinical examination, digital fistulogram, trans anal USG (12 patients) and/or MR Fistulogram to assess the characteristics of the fistula. 22 patients underwent LIFT and 28 underwent Fistulotomy. 25 patients were followed up for 3 months and rest for 2 months. There was recurrence in 4 patients (3 in LIFTand one in fistulotomy), unhealed sinus in 10 patients (7 in LIFT and 3 in fistulotomy) which required re-surgery. No patients had incontinence and 15 patients (10 –LIFT and 5- Fistulotomy) had delayed healing (4 to 6 wks).

8. Impact of Prime Minister Ujjwala Yojana on ocular trauma in the tribal belt of India

We wanted to study the impact of Ujjwala yojana on ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking. This is a retrospective cohort study. We retrieved the data from the electronic medical record (EMR) of ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking before and after launching of Pradhanmantri Ujjwala yojana, a government of India flagship program, in which free LPG connections are given to below poverty line (BPL) families. We collected the data regarding ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking. During our study, period 8,17,336 new LPG connections were provided under this scheme in the study population. We enrolled 3261 ocular injury cases; of which, 171 (5.3%) eyes were found to have ocular injuries because of using wooden sticks during cooking. We divided ocular injury cases that are caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking into two groups: before and after launching of the Ujjwala yojana. We found that the number of eyes injured before and after the launch of the scheme are 93 (54%) and 78 (45%), respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.000). Ujjwala Yojana is beneficial in reducing ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking.

9. Performance analysis of EPMS and EAPMS routing protocol in WSN

Routing in a wireless sensor network is a key challenge. The appropriate routing is done in WSN by using swarm intelligence approach. Various swarm intelligence techniques are available like ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony optimization etc. But the hybrid approach of ACO and PSO is a promising one. the PSO is used to enhance the attributes in the ACO, which define that the selection of parameter doesn’t depend on artificial experience, but relies on the robust search on the particles in the PSO. We also used an enhance utilization of ACO, by this technique we have found the shortest path or routes of ants. The output of the experiment shows that the optimize algorithm not only reduce the number of paths in the ACO but also finding the shortest path at the place of the largest path. The simulation result shows that the combination of ACO-PSO performs better than Energy Efficient PSO in terms of dead nodes, alive nodes, and throughput of the network.

10. Fabrication of Jute–Pine Apple leaf reinforced hybrid composites: Validation of mechanical properties through ANSYS

There is a huge need for new materials in all fields of engineering, this invites the development of new ¬materials which suits the need. Utilization of biodegradable materials i.e. natural fibers for various applications to preserve the environment from synthetic fibres invites the development of natural fiber reinforced polyester composites. In a country like India which is producing an enormous amount of agricultural solid waste (in the form of leaf, fruits, stems etc.) there is lack of marketing for the above-said wastes if this can be improved the farmers may get benefited. Natural fiber reinforced composites are preferred than conventional materials because of their advantages like low density, lightweight, high strength to weight ratio, low cost, high toughness, and biodegradability. The present investigation deals with the preparation of jute, pineapple leaf fiber and jute-pineapple leaf fiber (Hybrid) reinforced polyester composite and to determine the tensile, flexural and impact properties with increase in percentage weight fraction of the fiber and to compare the properties of the composites. Further, the experimental results will be validated through ANSYS software.

15. Performance of green banking and its effects on economy in Bangladesh

Green banking has become a buzzword in the banking arena in Bangladesh and all over the world in recent times. Green banking is defined as an 'eco-friendly socially responsible banking' which not only plays the role of financing intermediary but also works on achieving objectives towards a healthy environment for the present generation and future generation as well. We live in a competitive world where everything is relative. Everybody wants to be better than others and one’s activities sometimes cause environmental change and damage. So to save environment Green banking is a part of a green initiative taken by banks. Environmentally friendly policies can be applied so that green bank can grow in every sector of its activities without changing its main banking functions. It can also augment the goodwill of the institute and promote a 'green and social consciousness image' in the society. Although this theme has been implemented in several developed countries promoting the slogan 'Be green, Go green', it is a very useful starting point for developing countries like Bangladesh to follow. This paper observes the existing practices of green banking in Bangladesh and has made an endeavor to highlight systems, opportunities, difficulties, and advantages of green banking policies. In this study, secondary data from Bangladesh Bank Reports and other commercial bank reports have been used. These Results show that the 'Bangladesh Bank', formulated policies, strategies and allocated budgets to commercial banks with respect to green initiatives. Special packages for green projects can eliminate the present problems and can help to face the challenges and consequently accelerate green banking activities.

18. Data security in cloud computing

Cloud computing is a globalized concept and there are no borders within the cloud. Computers used to process and store user data can be located anywhere on the globe, depending on where the capacities that are required are available in the global computer networks used for cloud computing. Because of the attractive features of cloud computing, many organizations are using cloud storage for storing their critical information. The data can be stored remotely in the cloud by the users and can be accessed using thin clients as and when required. One of the major issue in the cloud today is data security in cloud computing. Storage of data in the cloud can be risky because of use of the Internet by cloud-based services which means less control over the stored data. One of the major concern in the cloud is how do we grab all the been ts of the cloud while maintaining security controls over the organizations' assets. Our aim is to propose a more reliable, decentralized lightweight key management technique for cloud systems which provides more e client data security and key management in cloud systems. Our proposed technique provides better security against Byzantine failure, server colluding and data modi cation attacks.

20. Assessment of noise pollution in Raipur city of Chhattisgarh, India

In developing countries like India Assessment of Noise pollution is an important task. Noise pollution adversely affects the health of human beings. The most important noises sources of noise are road traffic, aircraft, railways and industries, noise in the community from industrial and construction site and noise at home. Road traffic is by far the largest of these, and accounts for about 78 per cent of noise annoyance. In India, vehicular traffic is increasing rapidly, which has given birth to overcrowded roads and noise pollution. This study is primarily focusing on the monitoring of noise pollution at different places of Raipur City. In this study, noise monitoring was carried out with the help of sound level meter model (VA8080). Some important places of Raipur have been selected for noise level study purpose. All the places are categorized under different zones i.e. commercial zone, silent zone, industrial zone, and residential zone. All data were collected between 07:00 am to 09:00 p.m. Every hour the noise levels have been measured. To make the noise level more accurate each reading were taken in a gap of 6 minutes, that is, 10 readings per hour. And the average of the readings was taken as per hour sound intensity level.

22. Comparative study of therapeutic efficacy of conservative management and ultrasound guided pigtail drainage of amoebic liver abscess

Liver abscess is a common condition in India which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. ALA is the most common extra intestinal site of infection but occurs in only less than 1% of E. histolytica infections. The mortality rate has been estimated to be around 0.2-2.0% in adults and up to 26% in children. There are many options in managing amoebic liver abscess such as medical management, percutaneous or open surgical drainage. Until now there have been no studies which have compared the therapeutic efficacy between pigtail drainage and conservative management in medium-sized (5 to 10 cm). Nor is there any prospective study aimed at identifying parameters for instituting medical management versus drainage procedure for abscesses measuring between 5.0 and 10.0 cm. The aim of this paper is to compare the efficacy of conservative medical management to ultrasound-guided pigtail drainage and establish objective criteria for the management of such abscesses. This is a prospective study of 100 cases of amoebic liver abscess (ALA) of medium size (5 to 10 cm) presenting to the Surgical Emergency and Surgical Outpatient Department of Hindu Rao Hospital from the period January 2014 to March 2015. All patients included were diagnosed as having an amoebic liver abscess (ALA) based on a history of anorexia, malaise, fever and pain abdomen with or without a preceding history of diarrhea and findings of tender hepatomegaly, intercostal tenderness, leucocytosis amoebic serology (ELISA) and ultrasound evidence of amoebic liver abscess. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups by double-blinded secret envelop method. Group, I patients consisted of 25 patients who were treated with antiamoebic (metronidazole 750 mg tid / IV 500mg 6 hourly) and antibiotic (ciprofloxacin 500 mg bd) drugs. Group II patients also consisted of 25 patients who were treated by ultrasound-guided indwelling pigtail catheter drainage in addition to antiamoebic (metronidazole) and antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) drugs. Improvement in pain, fever, anorexia and clinical signs of hepatomegaly, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and USG abdomen within 72 hours of an institution of therapy was considered as criteria for continuing that particular modality of treatment. At three to five days, patients’ outcome was assessed and if they did not respond to the first modality of treatment, the patient was subjected to the second modality of treatment, i.e. conservative converted to pigtail insertion and patients with pigtail insertion for drainage. A comparison was made between clinical signs and investigations to assess the patients It was found all patients of Study Group II (pigtail drainage) had earlier improvement of all parameters of response to than patients in Study Group I (conservative management) and this response was significant. Another significant finding of this study was abscesses of size > 10 cm should be aspirated or drained. This study showed that the abscesses of size between 6.0 cm to 10.0 cm should be taken up for pigtail catheter drainage at presentation as the time of resolution and improvement in clinical and investigative parameters were more rapid in Group II as compared to Study Group I with almost no complications associated with pigtail insertion. For abscesses >10 cm and in those ALA associated with complications insertion of pigtail was beneficial. Abscesses less than 6.0 cm could be managed with medical treatment alone.

28. Hybrid wind–solar and battery power system for fluctuation free output

This manuscript presents the Hybrid renewable energy system using wind-solar and DC-DC CUK converter and three phase dc to ac converter with LC Filter. The wind and solar are environment-friendly and abundantly available energy sources in India. The solar and wind are intermittently available renewable energy resources, resulting into the generation of fluctuating output from the hybrid system, which will damage the electrical appliances designed to operate on the stable system. The modeling of the cuk dc-dc converter, three phase dc-ac converter and Inductor-Capacitor filters simulation is done using Matlab. The different blocks of the hybrid systems like wind and Solar model, cuk converter and Inductor-Capacitor filters are built separately before interconnecting them to form the complete DC hybrid system with the main grid. The inputs for the simulation are varying wind speed and changing irradiance. The simulation results show that the hybrid system possesses high reliability as compared to stand alone system. The addition of Cuk converter, three phase dc-ac converter and Inductor-Capacitor filter to the hybrid system greatly reduces the fluctuation in the output.

29. A review on crime pattern detection using data mining

Data mining can be used to model crime detection problems. Crimes are a social nuisance and cost our society dearly in several ways. Any research that can help in solving crimes faster will pay for itself. About 10% of the criminals commit about 50% of the crimes. Here we look at the use of a clustering algorithm for a data mining approach to help detect the crimes patterns and speed up the process of solving the crime. We will look at k-means clustering with some enhancements to aid in the process of identification of crime patterns. We applied these techniques to real crime data from a sheriff’s office and validated our results. We also use a semi-supervised learning technique here for knowledge discovery from the criminal records and to help increase the predictive accuracy. We also developed a weighting scheme for attributes here to deal with limitations of various out of the box clustering tools and techniques. This easy to implement data mining framework works with the geospatial plot of crime and helps to improve the productivity of the detectives and other law enforcement officers. It can also be applied for counterterrorism for homeland security.

31. Chromosomal Microarray Analysis as a first-tier test in autism spectrum disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a brain-based, developmental condition. Children with ASD have communication difficulties, narrow interests, and repetitive behaviour. ASD is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum condition” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. The role of copy number variations with specific gene regulation and human diseases is already well documented. Chromosomal microarray analysis should be considered as a first-tier genetic diagnostic test for autism spectrum disorders because of its strong ability to detect chromosomal abnormalities. The Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) plays an important role to rule out the CNVs that can cause the Autism. The reported yield of an array is approx. 10-15%. Whereas the diagnostic yield of G banded karyotyping is only 3%.The diagnostic yield is found to be significantly higher when more complex abnormalities such as ID, Dysmorphism are also present along with ASD. In this study, it was explained about CMA for 100 postnatal cases of autism, as a first-tier test followed by G banded karyotyping.

33. A survey on quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution protocols

As quantum computing matures, it's going to bring unimaginable increases in computational power along with the systems we use to protect our data (and our democratic processes) will become even more vulnerable. It is often said that the power of quantum computer comes from the quantum parallelism, which means instead of processing each input one by one, processor process each input parallelly. Quantum mechanics allow us to do an operation on a superposition of all the possible inputs at the same time. The classical computers have enabled amazing things, but there are still some problems we can’t easily solve like-2^N(optimization problems where it grows exponentially). For transferring the information the protocols are very essential for security. An example is quantum key distribution, and its protocols are like -BB84, SARG04, B92 etc. Moreover, quantum cryptography has proved its standing against many weaknesses in the classical cryptography. One of these weaknesses is the ability to copy any type of information using a passive attack without an interruption, which is impossible in the quantum system.

34. Roles of international organisation on national development

International organizations play a vital role in national development but they also hamper economic and manpower development. They create national debts as most of the foreign aids are wrapped with debts in disguise. They breed corruption and promote national dependence on foreign aid. Despite all these, Nigeria should not hurriedly exit any of the international institutions of which she is already a member without first assessing the relevance of such membership. The citizens should know these international bodies and the reasons for any intended withdrawal. This will ensure the exit from these organisations is not a ploy by Nigeria to avoid international sanctions in the light of the current continuous breach of fundamental human rights by the military, political impunity and judicial intimidation in this country.

53. (Re)-mythifying the popular: Are some excavations too strenuous for ordinary readers

ABSTRACT Over the last decade, rectification and reinterpretation of Historical and Mythological facts had been one of the most popular themes in Indian English Literature. The demystifications portrayed in the works of Ashwin Sanghi, Christopher Doyle and Amish Tripathy were very much successful in indulging the element of mystery and thrill amongst the readers due to their adroit defamiliarization of the familiar tales. To attain such defamiliarization, many authors tend to adopt a number of interdisciplinary methodologies to excavate the alternate interpretations. These calculative discourses from the fields of Geography, Archaeology, Chemistry, Geography or Mathematics form the twists in the tale that leads to the conclusion. But, the problem is that what fraction of the Indian myth-loving culture is subjected to these bodies of knowledge. For example, Ashwin Sanghi’s The Krishna Key has an illustration of the Cartesian equation in an aquatic plain curve to obtain The Swastika symbol. Hence, the theme primarily associated with the cultural aspects, seem to take an applied dimension. Unfortunately, such methodologies of interpretation cannot be perfectly grasped by the Indians belonging to every exposure of the society. It needs sheer knowledge and scholastic prerequisites to fully enjoy the depth of such works. This paper tries to find the gravity and the extent of relatability of such depictions with the common readers of the country, the probable problems and as such, identify the authors’ objectives and the presumable target readers.

57. Improving generalization in reinforcement learning on Atari 2600 games

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is poised to revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and represents a crucial step towards building autonomous systems with a higher-level understanding of the world around them. In particular, deep reinforcement learning has changed the landscape of autonomous agents by achieving superhuman performance on board game Go, a significant milestone in AI research. In this project, we attempt to train a Deep RL network on Demon Attack – an Atari 2600 game and test the model on different game environments to investigate the feasibility of applying Transfer Learning on environments with same action space but slightly different state space. We further extend the project to use established Reinforcement Learning techniques such as DQN, Dueling DQN, and SARSA to examine whether RL agents can be generalized on unfamiliar environments by fine-tuning the hyperparameters. Finally, we borrow classic regularization techniques like 2 regularization and dropout from the world of supervised learning and probe whether these techniques which have received very limited attention in the domain of reinforcement learning are effective in reducing overfitting of Deep RL networks. Deep Networks are expensive to train and complex models take weeks to train using expensive GPUs. We find that the use of the above techniques prevents the network from overfitting on the current environment and gives satisfactory results when tested on slightly different environments thus enabling substantial savings in training time & resources.

60. Occupational Therapy rehabilitation of postoperative hand injury cases and their functional independency

Occupational Therapy (OT) after revascularization/replant of hand injury is not available in all center. The prevalence of hand injury cases in India from road traffic incidences is about 30% and the total number of hand injuries would go higher upon adding the industrial injury cases. When primary repair isn't possible, tendon reconstruction is done. Kleinert (active extension, passive flexion) is a basic early motion program for rehabilitation of hand injuries. There have been significant innovations in therapy programme in different zones of tendon injuries in past. The aim of this study was to analyze the functional improvement after a postoperative regimen with the use of splints and Occupational Therapy. The objective is to determine the improvement in the Range of Motion (ROM) and muscles strength with Occupational Therapy (OT) along with home-based activities in hand reconstruction cases Design: Thirty-two patients with different tendon injuries were retrospectively enrolled in this study from one and a half year of routinely collected data. Gross grip, fine grip, and range of motion were measured using JAMAR, pinch O meter, and finger goniometer respectively. Statistically and clinically significant improvement was observed in muscle strength (gross and fine) and range of motion in these patients' hands after modified Kleinert splint, custom made splint and home base exercise in all patients (p <0.001 ). With OT, patients with hand reconstruction surgeries can recover their muscle strength and range of motion to a great extent under supervised therapy and make them self independence in all activities. This can be done through the use of simple home-based tools and occupational therapy exercises.

62. Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis

It is a rare condition and characterized by multiple episodes of parotid swelling and/or pain associated with fever or malaise over a period of years. Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is defined as recurrent inflammatory parotitis in children of unknown etiology.1 Salivary gland diseases in children are rare, apart from viral-induced diseases. Clinical diagnostics and especially the surgical treatment are influenced by a stringent indication and a less invasive strategy. Due to the rarity of tumors of the salivary glands in children, it is recommended to treat them in a specialized center with greater surgical experience. In most cases, the symptoms resolve spontaneously after puberty but all children should be screened to exclude Sjogren’s syndrome, lymphoma, and immunodeficiency including human immunodeficiency virus. Parotid abscess results as a complication of primary parotitis and are very rare in the pediatric population, we present a 6-year-old girl who had 15 episodes of recurrent parotid swelling over past 3 months.

67. Potential of defatted Delonix regia seed cake as alternative feed for ruminant animals

The most widely available low-cost feed for ruminants in major developing countries is usually native pastures but there is the limitation in their availability as they kept reducing in quantities and qualities all year round while the high cost associated with conventional cereals and legumes made them to be discouraged. The aim of this article is to investigate the potential of defatted Delonix regia seed cake as ruminant animals alternative feed. The properties of D. regia seeds were determined using the method (Idowu et al., 2012). The oil available in the seeds was extracted using cold maceration method. The proximate composition of the defatted seed cake was determined using (AOAC, 2016) methods while its elemental mineral component was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) following (AOAC, 2016) methods. Its anti-nutrient content was determined following the method of (Akaninwor and Okechukwu, 2004). The average for the length, width, and thickness of D. regia seeds obtained in this study are 17mm, 5mm and 3.8mm respectively. The proximate composition showed that the seed cake has high protein content with the value of 39.57% while the concentration for the mineral composition goes in the following order: (Fe>Zn>K>Mg>Mn>Cu>Co>Na>Ca). The anti-nutrient content showed that oxalate (0.85mg/100g) has the highest value while phytate (0.34mg/100g) has the least value. This study has demonstrated that defatted Delonix regia seed cake usually known to be waste could be useful in compounding animal feed.

71. An investigation on anti-depressant activity of fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica in experimental animal models

Mental depression is one of the common chronic illnesses that affect the mood, thought, physical health and behavior of an individual. India is a rich source of medicinal plants used therapeutically to treat various disorders including depression. This study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-depressant effect of acute and chronic administration of fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica in experimental animal models. We used the fresh fruit juice extract of Malus domestica (1 ml/kg and 2 ml/kg), the standard drug used was Imipramine (10 mg/kg) and the vehicle was 1% tween 80 (1 ml/kg), orally. Four groups of animals were used and each group had six animals. In the acute study drugs/vehicles were administered 60 min prior to the experiments. In the chronic study drugs/vehicles were administered for 10 days and the last dose was given on the 10th day, 60 minutes prior to experiment. Forced Swim Test and Tail Suspension Test were used for testing antidepressant activity and parameters estimated includes estimation of biochemical parameter (mono amino oxidase). Data was analysed using one-way ANOVA with drug treatment as the independent factor. Post-hoc comparisons were performed using Dunnett’s test. In acute and chronic forced swim test as well as tail suspension test, duration of immobility was significantly reduced in the FFJMD treated group but more beneficial effect found in chronic administration in both models and decrease in a biochemical parameter such as mono amino oxidase when compared with depressive control. The antidepressant activity of 2 ml/kg was comparable to that of Imipramine 10 mg/kg. The present study suggests that fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica has more beneficial antidepressant activity in chronic administration of 2 ml/kg. It would be advisable to encourage consumption of Malus domestica extract in patients with depression because of its nutritional and functional properties. From the present data, it concludes that fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica possesses significant anti-depressant activity.

72. Effects of extraction methods on the proximate, mineral and anti-nutrient composition of Huracrepitans seed cake

As it is widely known that the methods of extraction affect the qualities of oil, it is necessary to find out if these extraction methods affect the qualities of seed cakes as well. The aim of this article is to investigate the effect of extraction methods on the proximate, minerals and anti-nutrient composition of Huracrepitans seed cake. Three extraction methods (mechanical, Soxhlet and cold maceration) were employed using the methods of (Womeniet al., 2018) and (Nehdietal., 2010). The proximate composition of the seed cakes was determined using (AOAC, 2010) methods while their elemental mineral component was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) following (AOAC, 2016) methods, Sodium and Potassium was determined using Flame Photometer. Their anti-nutrient content was determined following the method of (Akaninwor and Okechukwu, 2004). The proximate composition showed that apart from the dry matter for the mechanically extracted seed cake which is 94% DM basis, the remaining parameters (crude fibre, crude protein, ether extract, energy content, and ash content) values were higher compared to the Soxhlet and cold maceration extracted seed cake. The mineral composition goes in the following order: (MEM>SEM>CEM) while the anti-nutrient content took the following trend: (CEM>SEM>MEM). This study has shown that methods of extraction also affect the qualities of seed cake as it does to the oil.

75. Applications of nanomedicine- Overview

Nanotechnology is the study of extremely small structures, having a size of 0.1 to 100 nm. The ideas and concepts behind nanoscience and nanotechnology were started by Physicist Richard Feynman. He described a process in which scientists would be able to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules. Particles are engineered so that they are attracted to diseased cells, which allow direct treatment of those cells. This technique reduces damage to healthy cells in the body and allows for earlier detection of disease. An important application of nanotechnology in biomedical science deals with novel drug synthesis, drug delivery, imaging, gene therapy etc. Lipid and polymer-based nanoparticles are the most commonly used drug delivery systems. They offer several advantages such as improved drug solubility, preferential drug accumulation in tumor site, sustained drug release, improved bioavailability and biocompatibility over the conventional treatment methods. Nanoparticles also carry the potential for targeted and time-release drugs. Currently many substances are under investigation for drug delivery and more specifically for cancer therapy. An ideal drug-delivery system possesses two elements: the ability to target and to control the drug release. Targeting will ensure high efficiency of the drug and reduce the side effects, especially when dealing with drugs that are presumed to kill cancer cells but can also kill healthy cells when delivered to them. The reduction or prevention of side effects can also be achieved by controlled release. So Controlled drug delivery systems (DDS) have several advantages compared to the traditional forms of drugs. A drug is transported to the place of action, hence, its influence on vital tissues and undesirable side effects can be minimized.

78. Providing data integrity in toll booth management system

The Internet of things (IoT) is considered as a network of devices which allows them to interact, connect and exchange data. Stimulators and sensors are considered as smart devices in our environment. Due to the nature of IoT that depends on low computational power devices equipped with a sensor, the security of these systems differs from the security of the traditional system which is been applied in conventional network devices. Simultaneously IoT security brings out new issues. Therefore safety is a fundamental issue in designing IoT. Hybrid encryption is a mode of encryption that makes use of merging two or more encryption systems hence it is considered as a highly secure type of encryption as long as the public and private keys are fully secure. This encryption type provides long security and low consumption. In this paper we have proposed a hybrid encryption algorithm which has been conducted in order to reduce safety risks and enhancing encryption's speed. The main purpose of this hybrid algorithm is maintaining data integrity, confidentiality, non-repudiation in data exchange for IoT. Eventually, the suggested encryption algorithm has been simulated by MATLAB software, and its speed and safety were evaluated in comparison with a conventional encryption algorithm

80. Survey on clustering attacker activities in IoT data through machine learning techniques

IoT create network and connect "things" and people together by creating relationship between either people-people, people-things or things-things. As the number of device connection is increased, it increases the Security risk. Security is the biggest issue for IoT at any companies across the globe. Privacy and data sharing can again be considered as a security concern for IoT. The IoT has been affected by different botnet activities. As botnets have the cause of serious security risks and financial damage over the years, existing Network forensic techniques cannot identify and track current sophisticated methods of botnets. Machine Learning techniques in order to train and validate a model for defining such attacks, but they still produce high false alarm rates with the challenge of investigating the tracks of botnets. This paper investigates the role of Machine Learning techniques for developing a Network forensic mechanism based on network flow identifiers that can track suspicious activities of botnets. Multivariate Hawkes Process identifies the latent influences between attackers by utilizing the mutually exciting properties. Then cluster the attacker activities based on the inferred weighted influence matrix with resort to the hierarchical, partitioning and graph-based clustering approach.

87. Students’ perceptions about a distance learning programme: A case of the open, distance and E-learning programme at Kyambogo University, Uganda

The perception of students regarding a distance education programme has implications for the quality of training because it influences their motivation and commitment to learning, helps to inform course design practices and to develop faculty trainer development programs. This paper explores students’ perceptions about an Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) programme at Kyambogo University-Uganda. A total of one hundred and fifty students were purposively and randomly selected to participate in the study. Data was collected using a researcher constructed questionnaire basing on the assumptions of Holmberg’s theory of interaction and communication. Results established that most crucial items necessary for quality distance learning education were positively perceived. However, four key items were negatively perceived, namely; timely feedback on assignments and examinations, course assessments, methods of presentation and delivery of content and lack of enough peer support. The study concluded that ODeL administrators should put emphasis on the negatively perceived items to motivate learners and improve the quality of delivery. The study recommended that trainers ensure timely feedback for assignments and examinations, the training staff be facilitated to attend regular refresher pedagogical courses, administrators to nurture practices of peer support among the students and the trainers.

92. Operation research on menstruation hygiene management

The operation research on Menstruation Hygiene Management (MHM) as an initiative approach was designed by MOVE with technical and financial support of HEMAYAT, a baseline evaluation utilized a quantitative approach to collect valuable information concerning the existing MHM conditions using cross-sectional methodology in the selected treatment and control districts, data are collected from women and teenagers using a household questionnaire (quantitative). A household questionnaire formed the backbone of the baseline research and included four sections designed to evaluate knowledge, attitude and current practices in case and control areas in terms of demographics, health-seeking behavior, awareness of MHM, practices, and attitudes towards MHM. A pooled cross-sectional survey used quota sampling with random selection in baseline and end-line assessment was conducted to see the output and outcomes of the approach using Difference in Difference methodology. The Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) reflected the ratio of that district’s population and The Secondary Sampling Unit (SSU) were villages, approximately 25 SSU for intervention and 25 SSU for control districts are randomly selected from PSU. Data collection and Analysis: The booth study was conducted in four districts of Kabul province, two districts as control (Kalakan and Dehsaba) and two as treatment (Farza and Guldara), for baseline and end-line- a total of 625 respondents from control and 625 respondents from treatment districts were planned to be interviewed, at baseline study, from 1250 planned respondents, about 1224 have been interviewed and about 26 respondents have been missed (rejected, not completed, household vacated/destroyed) and 3 questionnaire missed by the system. The analysis was applied on 1221 respondents’ questionnaire. While at an end-line study, 1250 have been interviewed and 3 questionnaires missed by the system. The analysis was applied on 1247 respondents’ questionnaire. Following to data collection and entry, the transfer of data to the appropriate SPSS database is done for cleaning and analysis. The results of the baseline assessment were used for the bases of the data on knowledge, attitude, practice, and access to sanitary napkins, In line with the operation research ToR, the treatment districts were exposed with a series of activities including community-based health education and outreach in the target population. There is an absolute lack of awareness about sanitary napkins and its usage, in the baseline; about 56.5 % of the respondents are reported not familiar on sanitary napkins and its usage and disposal, Though, the end-line assessment shows significant differences in the level of awareness, 86.8 % of respondents are familiar about sanitary napkins and its disposal. The majority of women/girls were not aware of their menstruation before menarche-61.5 %, and about 38.5 % have information from different sources, so the information was not adequate and that they needed more insight into the topic. The baseline data shows that there are some miss-practices amongst the respondents regarding their personal hygiene including handwashing, washing of the genital areas and washing of the underwear/re-usable pads during menstruation period. As per end-line assessment data, there were significant changes in the personal hygiene (Washing practice of genital area during menstruation from 57.2%-Baseline to 83.8 %-end line). There is a similarity in disposal strategies used by the women/girls in baseline vs end-line and control and treatment districts. The study data revealed that, girls/women are having experience restriction in specific foods, physical activities, social gathering, pray, taking shower and school attendance, the end-line data shows that there are likely changes occurred in attitudes, restriction to women and girls during menstruation decreased from 91.6% at baseline to 76% at end-line study, it seems the MHM project likely impacted the community and family attitudes towards menstruation. Comparison of baseline vs end-line shows that restriction to bath and shower during menstruation is decreased by 25.2% from baseline, this difference mostly occurred in the treatment group. Overall, increases in demand of sanitary napkins usage, awareness and knowledge of girls/ women on menstruation and menstruation management, personal hygiene and health practices and individual, family and community attitudes towards menstruation and menstruation management suggest that the MHM pilot project was successful in promoting intended objectives. In order to capitalize on current successes, and prepare for a possible future rollout, implementation of the MHM concept in the country is important, so require widely advocacy at a policy level, national and international contribution and community support, there are several recommendations that come out of this analysis.

95. Status, importance, prospects, and vision of organic farming in India

India produces a large variety of food crops including cereals, pulses, and oilseeds. In the name of increased productivity, indiscriminate application of an enormous quantity of chemical fertilizers is being followed keeping the health factor at bay. Hence an alternative method of farming is of urgent need which could satisfy the needs of increased food production as well as providing security against any potential health problem. Organic farming has been proved as a solution to both of these problems. Also since the need for the pre-requisites for organic farming is less as compared to chemical farming, therefore, in a country like India where the agriculture is highly influenced by the vagaries of various biotic and abiotic factors, organic farming is capable enough to provide economic security to the mediocre farmers as well. However, with the policies implemented by the government of India to encourage organic farming regarding the commencement, implementation and the marketing of organic food products as well as the increasing demand of the organic products in the domestic as well as international market, there is ample scope for organic food industries to expand and generate revenue for strengthening the Indian economy.

98. Comparison of the physiological responses and distance walked during 6-minute walk test on level ground and on a treadmill in normal healthy middle age group individuals

Ageing changes in the cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous system and musculoskeletal systems etc results in an overall reduction of functional capacity, which may affect daily activities in middle age group individuals. So assessment of functional capacity is an important aspect in this population group. The 6 Minute walk test is extensively being used to assess the functional capacity as it is more reflective of activities of daily living than the other walk tests and it is easy to administer and better tolerated. Treadmills can be an efficient, and space-saving alternative for performing the standard 6 MWT, as it saves the space, and enables constant hemodynamic surveillance that is necessary for the safety test performance, and will also minimize the errors in calculating the various parameters during the 6MWT. The aim of the study: This study is aimed at comparing the physiological responses and the distance walked during the 6MWT on level ground (LG) and on a treadmill (TM) in normal healthy middle age group individuals. The results showed a statistically significant increase in blood pressures, heart rate, respiratory rate and RPE on Borg’s scale (P < 0.001) and, statistically significant decrease in six-minute walk distance (P < 0.001) after the TM 6MWT as compared to the LG 6MWT. The present study was attempted to analyze the comparative effects of TM 6MWT and LG 6MWT on physiological responses and distance walked in healthy middle group individuals. There was a significant increase in physiological responses from the baseline after TM 6MWT as compared to LG 6MWT in healthy middle group individuals. There was a significant decrease in 6-minute walk distance after TM 6MWT as compared to LG 6MWT in healthy middle group individuals.

Various kinds of digital storage devices like a USB drive (pen drive), hard drive (mainly external), floppy disks, CDs and a few others also. It is a technique or method for extracting the lost or useful data from the storage media, when unavailable. Now, forensic analysis concept comes from Digital Forensics or it can be called as its sub-domain. Certain conditions of the storage devices will be considered like burnt, wet and damaged drives for data retrieval and analysis. Data is a prime concern for every organization or individual or so-called the main component of the architecture and working of the IT industries and thus, so its repercussions can’t be ignored. Companies spent almost thousands of dollars for maintaining the security of their enterprise data. Thus, the data protection and its retrieval after data theft(cyber-attacks) or loss is will help in evaluating out large-scale vulnerabilities.

113. Land administration through e-governance: A study on Bhoomi project

India is an agrarian economy, agriculture is the back bone, which supports the nation. These farmers who shoulder the noble responsibility of feeding the nation have been exploited from time immemorial. Legislation such as ‘tiller is the owner of land’, ‘imposition of land ceilings’ or ‘movement such as Bhoodana’ during the era of independence has no doubt brought some relief to the farming segment, but the socio-economic condition of the farmers community has not witnessed drastic improvement. The poor land management practices identified have adversely affected the productivity. Therefore, to address this issue, a well defined, more structured land right system needs to be developed. Government of Karnataka has initiated e-governance through services like Bhoomi (computerization of land records), Kaveri (registration after verification), Mojini (measurement of properties). Out of all these ‘Bhoomi’ is definitely a mile stone service, its planning and implementation is being applauded and replicated all over the world as this was seen as more effective and promising approach to address land rights related problems.

114. Experimental investigation on the properties of concrete with plastic pet (bottle) fibres as partial replacement of fine aggregates

Plastic bottles are major issue of solid waste disposal. Several things which were invented for our convenient life are responsible for polluting environment due to improper waste management technique. One of them is a plastic which has to be disposed or recycled properly to maintain the beauty of our nature. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE or polyester) are routinely used for carbonated beverage and water bottles. This is an environmental issue as waste plastic bottles are difficult to biodegrade and involves processes either to recycle or reuse. In the Modern world, the construction industry is searching for cost-effective materials for enhancing the strength of concrete structures. This work is carried out with the possibility of using the waste PET bottles as the partial replacement of aggregate in Portland cement. Concrete with 1%, 2%, 2.5%, 3% and 5% PET bottle fibers for fine aggregate were produced and compared against control mix with no replacement. Cube specimens, cylinder specimens and prism specimens were cast, cured and tested for 7 day and 28 days strength. Tests such as Compression test, splitting tensile test and flexural strength tests were done and the results were compared with control specimens and results were compared. The observed results revealed an increase in compression and tensile strength hence with the increasing demand for fine aggregate, PET bottle fiber replacements can be adopted. This study was carried to investigate the properties of concrete with plastic pet (bottle) fibres as partial replacement of fine aggregates.

115. Study of prevalence of hypothyroidism in biliary stone patients

Biliary lithiasis is one of the most common biliary pathothogy with a reported prevalence of approximately 6%-12%. The pathogenesis of biliary lithiasis is complex and a multifactorial process involving factors which affect the bile content and bile flow. Hypersaturation of bile with cholesterol and biliary stasis have been shown to be crucial factors in development of biliary stones. Hypothyroidism has a worldwide population prevalence of 4%-5%. It leads to decrease in liver cholesterol metabolism causing serum hypercholesterolemia with 90% of hypothyroid patients having elevated cholesterol levels; approximately 50% higher than in euthyroid patients. This hypercholesterolemia may result in hypersaturation of bile with cholesterol. Cholesterol hypersaturation of bile results in impaired motility, decreased contractility and reduced filling of the gallbladder causing prolonged stay of bile in the gallbladder contributing to retention of cholesterol crystals which may lead to nucleation and continuous growth into mature gallstones. Biliary stasis is also caused by sphincter of Oddi dyskinesia leading to formation of gallbladder and bile duct stones. Several hormones have been shown to affect spincter of Oddi activity including thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones have been shown to have a direct pro-relaxing effect on sphincter of Oddi and lack of this effect in hypothyroidism may result in delayed bile flow which may lead to the formation of biliary stones. An increased prevalence of hypothyroidism (13.3%) among biliary stone disease patients was found in our study, with prevalence rate being comparatively higher in CBD stone patients. Hypercholesterolemia was found in 91.67% of the patients having hypothyroidism.

116. A clinical study of peptic ulcer perforation

Perforation of the peptic ulcer is one of the common and lethal complications of the peptic ulcer. Unless the prompt diagnosis is made and early active surgical management is done the mortality is very high, it is the commonest cause of death resulting from surgical abdominal emergency next to intestinal obstruction. The patients who are brought to the hospital at a late stage, have the major concurrent illness and preoperative shock, do not improve with conservative treatment. In spite of the better understanding of the disease, effective resuscitation and prompt surgery under modern anesthesia techniques, there is high morbidity and mortality. Hence, an attempt has been made to analyze the various factors, which are affecting the etiology, incidence, postoperative morbidity/mortality of patients with peptic ulcer perforations. Our study comprises of 104 cases of perforated peptic ulcer that were admitted in the Department of General Surgery, National Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jaipur from January 2017-June 2018. This study on the cases of perforated peptic ulcer was carried out to study the various risk factors that can and do affect the operative outcome in perforated peptic ulcer. In our study, we found out that the highest incidence of perforated peptic ulcer was in the 4th decade. Males are the most affected gender(70.19%). Ingestion of NSAIDs increases the risk of peptic ulcer perforation. Duodenal perforations were commoner then gastric in present series. The classical symptoms of peptic ulcer like pain, periodicity, vomiting, and hematemesis were observed in present work. Most common postoperative complications were pulmonary complications(16.35%).All over mortality rate was 12.5%

117. A comparative analysis of private and state owned schools

It is generally observed that parents or guardians prefer private schools than state-owned schools while admitting their children or wards. This behavioral attitude is observed because it is presumed that private schools deliver better quality education compared to state-owned schools. To test, whether state-owned schools are really poor in delivering quality education or is it totally a myth? Even if the difference exists, what has to be done to bridge this gap? To get an insight into this crucial matter, this research study was taken up. In this process, it was surprising to know that, due to a lot of initiatives taken up by state-owned. NGO’s and social institutions in the recent past, even state-owned schools are performing and delivering quality education on par with many private schools and some of them are better performing than private. This is definitely a healthy sign as the target group for state-owned schools would be lower middle class or poor class. Even this segment is receiving a quality education, which will go a long way in shaping their future and improving their standard of living.

118. Comprehensive and conceptual analysis of revival of Apple Inc. in 1997

The rise of Apple so lies with their angle of “Thinking Differently”. The corporate might not have continually been publicized as a commanding power in the tech industry, their strength over the years has come back from optimum vision and not continuing with constant and similar products and moving towards change to tackle its competition. In recent times, Apple has featured a vast line-up of high-end personal computers, iPods, iPhones, and iPads. They even have a thriving business through the iTunes Store mainly through marketing music, video, and applications for each iOS and MacOS. But all of this would not have existed if it wasn’t for Steve Jobs and the revolutionary changes that he made in Apple Inc. back in 1997. Initially, in 1996, Apple had begun to license Mac OS to Motorola and IBM, that was a move Steve Jobs had advised simply before his termination. PowerPC processors enraptured into the third generation and things were looking promising for all concerned. Apple determined to shop for NeXT so as to boost Mac OS and hold leverage over Microsoft. In 1988, Apple decided to raise its prices, which caused chaos and confusion in the minds of the consumers, this declined the deals significantly, affecting the performance of the company drastically. In the next 10 years, multiple changes were made in the company’s top positions but the company constantly saw a downfall. During the last quarter of 1996, Apple saw its sales decline by 30% according to the reports, Apple reported to Wall Street stating that it will record an after-tax loss of $ 700 million, which was the company biggest quarterly loss ever recorded, with over $1billion. In 1997, with the assistance of Steve Jobs and also the new board of administrators, Apple had created the foremost outstanding revival story known to not simply companies in America but across the whole world, and stands presently as one of the highest valued tech companies in the world.

119. Computational analysis and experimental validation of acoustic streaming in different liquids to obtain homogeneous distribution of reinforcement particles for ultrasonic cavitation based processing

Ultrasonic streaming and cavitation are the most predominant factors to consider for the efficient ultrasonic treatment of melts. In order to achieve a good distribution of reinforcement particles for making a Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), the cavitation zone and velocity of fluid must be maximum enough to disperse the particles in a homogeneous way. In normal practice, stirring takes place in a closed vessel or crucible, where efficiency cannot be seen, and simulation methods are required to inform experimental research. In this work, ultrasonic streaming in water, glycerol, and the aluminum melt was numerically simulated and compared by introducing SiC particles. And the simulated results of same in water and glycerol were validated by experimental results to observe sonochemiluminescence which can lead to validate the simulated result of aluminum melt indirectly. In this work, COMSOL Multiphysics is used for the challenging coupling of pressure acoustic and particle trajectories. The simulation results show that the homogenous distribution of SiC particles is influenced by ultrasonic power, frequency, ultrasonic processing time, and immersion depth of the ultrasonic probe. These studies lay the groundwork by understanding the amalgamation of simulated results in different liquids for the application of ultrasonic treatment in metal melts. Furthermore, the presented model is numerically stable and appropriate for testing parameter variations, geometry modifications, and material adjustments.

The paper is trying to identify the reasons for the firm’s failure in today’s globalized market environment. The objective of the paper is solely based on why the firms are not meeting up their goal to exist in the market. Some firms appear and disappear without even government registration. So it is harder to collect actual data. The study of the paper is exploratory and research area is Industrial sector of developing countries. Multiple E-books, PDFs, previously published research works and the journals and articles have been employed to come up with the conclusions. More than managerial and technological flaws in the business the political, economic and socio-cultural systems play vital roles in the business. It is necessary to get enough subsidies and free environment for the firms to grow up freely. Instead of working on tight rules and regulation a country should emphasize on providing a good business environment and sufficient infrastructure for the economic progress.

133. Drag reduction on vessels and study on its viability

The most severe component in the resistance of a ship is the frictional one. As we know the source of this bare hull frictional resistance is the basic wave resistance and viscous resistance or drag. Drag as we know it is directly proportional to the area it acts upon. By reducing the frictional resistance through form optimization, and more viably and hence, more importantly, air lubrication, total resistance and so fuel costs can be decreased. Especially for existing ships, reduction of ship resistance by form optimization is difficult and not cost effective, but the application of air lubrication through injection methods like in the Mitsubishi air film injection study. Reducing the frictional resistance by air injection below the ship in combination with special coatings is an active area of research; anecdotally, performance gains are usually large. The paper gives an overview of some model scale and full-scale measurement results of ships. In this study, the air lubrication method is presented and the effect of air lubrication on resistance. The analyses are performed by a commercial code solving Navier-Stokes equations. The coefficient of frictional resistance of the ship is calculated as an equivalent flat plate of the ship’s wetted surface.

139. The psychology behind drastic transformation surgeries and the surgical fraud

Medical advancements in the 21st century have enabled people to do things that were once beyond our imagination. Medical science today is not only limited to curing diseases but it also includes cochlear implants, eye implants, organ donation/ transfer etc. It was in the 1960s that the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) found a new substance called silicone to treat skin imperfections. The experiment escalated to a point that the MD of Houston, Thomas Cronin discovered that the same element could be used in breast implants. Since then, there have been around 15.7 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and about 1.8 million cosmetic surgical procedures that include breast augmentation, liposuction, nose reshaping, eyelid surgeries and tummy tuck (statistics provided by ASPS). However, apart from the people who indulge in such types of surgeries to fix their imperfections, there are also a group of people who have undergone unnecessary and harsh surgeries in order to express their thoughts or to look like a cartoon character they fantasized in their childhood. The Barbie or the cartoon characters were created to imitate humans, but in the present scenario, people have the mindset to imitate cartoons and dolls. Makeup was not enough to hide bodily imperfections which is why some people resorted to solving them with surgeries, ‘the permanent solution’. This paper looks into the cases of Pixee Fox, Valeria Lukyanova and Vinny Ohh particularly, who have undergone drastic surgeries to look animated. Even though the far-reaching possibilities of medical science has been proved through these patients (victims), it can not be denied that such unnecessary surgeries need to be stopped because it is harmful and has resulted to side effects and deaths.

143. Copy move forgery detection on digital images using M-SIFT algorithm

In recent years, digital images are used in a wide range of applications and for multiple purposes. They additionally assume an essential job in the capacity and exchange of visual data, particularly the mystery ones. With this far-reaching utilization of computerized pictures, notwithstanding the expanding number of instruments and programming of advanced pictures altering, it has turned out to be anything but difficult to control and change the real data of the picture. In this way, it has turned out to be important to check the validness and the respectability of the picture by utilizing current and computerized procedures, which add to examination and comprehension of the pictures substance, and after that ensure their honesty. There are numerous kinds of picture fraud, the most imperative and well-known sort is called duplicate move imitation, which utilizes a similar picture during the time spent phony. This kind of imitation is utilized for one of two things, first to shroud an item or scene by duplicating the zone of the picture and sticking it on another zone of a similar picture. The second is the redundancy of item or scene with a change in a few characteristics, "for example, measure" by duplicating this article and sticking it on another zone of a similar picture. In the proposed work, we have implemented the Modified SIFT (M-SIFT) algorithm along with multi SVM classifier technique to detect the copy-move forgery in the digital images.

146. Infant cradle monitoring system

In today’s world we see that most of the families consist of mainly the parents and children. When a baby is born in a family there has to be someone to look after the baby. Some parents have to do a double task of keeping a check on the baby as well as do the household work. Keeping a nanny could be an option but not all can afford nannies and also it is always difficult for parents to rely on some strangers to look after their baby. So to help such parents we have decided to come up with a smart cradle which will help a mother or a father have a track of their child and do some household work simultaneously. The temperature and wetness sensor detects the temperature and wetness of the baby and if it increases a particular level, message will be send to the parents. The mic in the system detect, if the baby cries and a song will play through the speaker set up in the APR, also message is send to the parents. Also the feeding time of the baby is set using the keypad, and at that time message will be send to the parents.

148. Universe, the fortified astral system for the life

The astral system or universe ( or cosmos) is all that was before and it ever will be. However, the concept that the astral system is all is not a scientific fact, but an assumption based upon materialistic naturalism. The contribution of Carl E. Sagan (1 November, 19324 – 20 December, 1996) in this regard was concerned with “extraterrestrial life”. The cosmological evidence proves that, the Physical Constants of the universe (astral system) are serving a lot for it’s fine tuning. It is impossible for system of human established engineering. The series of waves, the ripples in astral system from the original event of Big Bang are detectable at one part in one lakh (100,000). If this component were slightly smaller, then the present astral system would exist only as a collection of gas. Planets and life on earth may not be there. If this component were slightly larger, the astral system would consist only of large black holes. Noticeably, life would be impossible in such a astral system or universe. One more parameter for the fine tuning of astral system is the strong nuclear force. This nuclear force is responsible to hold atoms together. The fusion of higher and basic hydrogen fusion together in astral system is leading to Sun burns. Fusion of two hydrogen atoms is required for 0.7 percent of the mass of the hydrogen conversion into energy. If the amount of matter converted were slightly smaller—0.6 percent instead of 0.7 percent — a proton could not bond to a neutron, and the astral system would consist only of the hydrogen. In absence of heavy elements, there would be no rocky planets. obviously there would be no life. If the amount of matter converted were slightly larger—0.8%, fusion would happen so readily and rapidly that no hydrogen would have survived from the Big Bang. Again, there would be no solar systems and no life.

150. Improving the power quality using modular multilevel converter with reduced number of switches

To eliminate the losses in the power electronic circuits, we have to include some different methods like Modular multilevel inverter. The design of a control circuit for a solar fed modular multilevel inverter to reduce the number of semiconductor switches is presented in this study. The design includes a binary mode of operation with PWM Techniques. In binary mode, 2Ns +1 − 1 output voltage levels are obtained where Ns is the number of individual inverters. MMC intends design in both control and power circuits to provide corresponding output voltage levels by appropriate switching sequences. Hence to obtain a 15-level inverter, the conventional method requires 28 switches and in binary mode 12 switches are needed but in the proposed system only 8 switches are employed to achieve 31 levels with low THD and high power quality. The advantage of this design is the reduction of total harmonic distortion.

151. Targeted advertising

The rapid growth of social network has led to making availability in customer tastes and preferences. This data can be exploited to serve the customers better and offer them the advertisements they would be glad to see. To provide a relevant advertisement to consumers, one has to consider the location of the consumer as well. The consumers will highly contend if the offers shown to them are easily accessible in nearby areas. Advertisements have become today’s most direct marketing channel that provides information and discount offers about products to customers and allow marketers to reach a precise goal by creating campaigns. Making these Ads location-specific would not only render them more relevant but also personalized and targeted to the specific audience. Mobile in-app advertising is growing in popularity. While these ads have excellent user-tracking properties through mobile device GPS, they have raised concerns among privacy advocates. There is an ongoing debate on the value of different types of mobile targeting, the incentives of ad-networks to engage in behavioral targeting and share user-data with advertisers, and the role of regulation.

152. Design of fuzzy logic controller using solar-powered BLDC motor for water pumping system

This paper is mainly based on the water pumping system by using solar PV panels for the effective cost and the brushless dc motors are used here mainly because of the easy maintenance when compare with BDC it has more advantages like high efficiency, reduced noise, longer lifetime and easy construction. The main problem which created while using the brushless dc motors is to control the system parameters. Hence, to overcome from that we introduced one main control called Fuzzy Logic Controller. It is defined as a control system based on a fuzzy logic-a mathematical system that analyses analog input values in terms of logic variables that take on continuous values between 1 or 0 which used to control the BLDC parameters thorough gate driver circuit of the boost converter. The boost converters are used here to consume more power from solar panel its nothing but the DC-DC converters. The boost converters are controlled by using maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Brushless dc motor is connected with the centrifugal pump through the shaft. The main operation of the project is operating by using the variable constructions called voltage, power, and irradiation. it is the improved version of the water pumping systems and control is done by MATLAB/SIMULINK and the hardware also been implemented.

153. Operation of logic gates (AND, NAND, OR, NOR) with single circuit using BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor)

In this paper, we have developed a circuit which gives the output for 4-Logic gates of “AND, NAND, OR, NOR” simultaneously by taking only two inputs “A” and “B”. I used Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) to design this circuit. Previously we have each circuit for each logic gate but now in our new circuit, we developed four logic gates in a single circuit. Thus we can decrease the size of the special circuits. Instead of using four IC’s for four logic gates if we use this single IC for all the four logic gates then the space used for the remaining three IC’s can be used for other purposes. This circuit is very easy to design because it has only six Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT’s).

154. Anatomy of agitations in Kashmir

The protests that broke out after the elimination of HM Commander Burhan Wani on 08 July 2016 took the State and security establishment by surprise and caught them completely off guard. This unrest was qualitatively different from previous protests in terms of intensity, scale, and the nature of public participation. since then there has been a substantial increase in violent incidents and fatalities through the rest of the year especially in the Kashmir Valley. A debate has also been started in public domain about the need to remove article 370 so that rest of the Indians could invest, purchase property or settle down in J & K. The situation in Kashmir Valley has been going through intermittent phases of stability and turmoil. This present cycle of protests and agitations is however disconcerting. The two most alarming aspects of the current phase of Kashmir's agitational terrorism are the rise in the number of local terrorists, and the growing acceptance and legitimacy of terrorists in society. The situation has been exploited fully by Pakistan with an impetus to cross border terrorism and continued support to the separatist movement.

155. Inductive power transfer for massive electric vehicle charging by single phase inverter

The studies for a Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) have attracted considerable attention because of the necessity of developing alternative methods to generate energy for vehicles due to limited fuel-based energy, global warming, and exhaust emission limits in the last century. Charging infrastructure for Electric Vehicles (EV) will be the key factor for ensuring a smooth transition to e-mobility. This paper focuses on charging technologies that will play a fundamental role in this regard: smart charging, contactless charging and on-road charging of EVs. Smart charging of EVs is expected to enable larger penetration of EVs and renewable energy, lower the charging cost and offer better utilization of the grid infrastructure. On the other hand, stationary contactless charging and on-road inductive charging of EV will remove the necessity for any cables, eliminate range anxiety issues and pave the way for automated driving. The electromagnetic and power converter design for contactless power transfer systems for future highways is reviewed in this paper Contactless charging is also known as wireless charging. Wireless power transfer works on the Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) principle, as found in the conventional transformers. An IPT charging method suitable for charging massive EBs is proposed to achieve Constant Current (CC) and Constant Voltage (CV) output with feedback control strategies or communication link between the transmitter side and receiver side. Two ac switches (ACSs) and an auxiliary capacitor utilized at the receiver side are employed to be operated once to change the charging modes from CC mode to CV mode.

156. The significance of assistive technology in inclusive education: Creating scope for person with disabilities

"For most people technology makes things easier. For people with disabilities technology makes things possible”. -Mary Pat Radabaugh (1993) This paper advocates the significance of Assistive Technology (AT) in Inclusive Education: Creating Scope for Person with Disabilities (PwDs). It suggests that Inclusive Education is the most important feature for the PwDs to their lifestyle which has both social and academic aspects. “AT is any item, equipment, hardware, product or service which retains, increases or advances the functional competences of individuals of any age, especially those with disabilities, and supports them more easily to communicate, learn, enjoy and live better, more independent lives” (BATA, 2011). AT is one of the most accurate features in making education progress in inclusive settings. AT is seen to be the most empowering instrument to achieve the goals of independent living. It plays a vital role in taking up the process of including PwDs placing and giving them genuine opportunities to participate and learn together in an inclusive environment. As “Education for All” claims, within the common classroom the concept of teaching and learning that integrates assistive technology approaches and accommodations, become more significant for PWDs in the inclusion setting. The paper discusses an enhanced understanding of AT and its relationship with PwDs. Also, it explains how AT can support the dynamic involvement and full inclusion of PwDs in every aspect of life.

157. Power electronics assisted OLTC for grid voltage regulation

High utilization of co-generation has given rise to the occurrence of voltage fluctuations in the electrical distribution network. The paper provides a brief idea of the designing of the partially rated, Power Electronic assisted On Load Tap Changer (OLTC) transformer. Most of the tap changers implemented traditionally are the mechanically operated which are having their own advantages and disadvantages such as arcing during switching, high maintenance due to mechanical contacts, service cost and slow reaction time for an operation. Implementation of electronic tap changer has drastically removed the most of shortfall which can be observed at mechanical tap changer. The rapid growth in the field of electronic industries has allowed us for the use of power semiconductor devices, such as the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), TRIAC, MOSFET and GTO has assisted us for the proper functioning of OLTC regulators. This paper uses TRIAC as the voltage regulator. The paper gives an idea for designing of a fast-acting OLTC regulator with tapings on the primary side (hv side) hence allowing to reduce losses and to have faster action.

158. Stock prediction marketing using machine learning

The share market has traditionally been the proving grounds for machine learning applications. There is a lack of an algorithm which can find the heuristic reasoning of humans based on current events/trends. The proposed system is an attempt to reconcile computed sentiments alongside traditional/more common data mining. Datasets consisting of historical data as well as recent headlines will be mined to ascertain stock price movement. In the proposed system it is to be hoped, more accurately predict stock price movement by emulating instinctual reasoning by implementing sentiment analysis.

164. Enhancing the nutrient removal and deposition of lipid by co-culturing Aspergillus tamarii and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii on potato processing waste water

Removal nutrients by utilization from the culture medium and accumulations of lipid by oleaginous microorganisms are the promising route for the biodiesel feedstock production. Most of the oleaginous microbes cannot directly utilize starch, some of them modify the nutrient resources like cellulose and starch into monosaccharides initially, and then these fermentable sugars will be converted into fatty acids. In the present work, we investigated how the co-culturing of Aspergillus tamarii and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii involves in nutrient removal, starch-digestion, and lipid deposition when cultivated in potato processing wastewater. We found that combined cultivation and consolidated bioprocessing the fungi and algae stimulate nutrient removal, starch-digestion, and biodiesel feedstock production effectively. The results exhibited the highest biomass (18.5g/L and 19.3g/L) with the lipid content of 43% and 57% on 10 and 25% diluted potato processing wastewater after the 4th day of incubation. Maximum depletion of Ammonium nitrogen (34 mg/L) Orthophosphates (14 mg/L) and starch-digestion was 89% was obtained at 25% diluted potato processing wastewater after the 4th day of incubation. Considering the yield, lipids derived from starch using Aspergillus tamarii and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii would be a promising alternative source for biodiesel feedstock production.
