Arduino based 6DoF Robot using LabVIEW
This paper presents a development of a 6-axis robotic arm controller( i.e) Six degrees or axis of freedom (6DoF) refers to the freedom of movement of a rigid body in three-dimensional space. The each axis of the robot are been controlled using servo motor. The position of each axis can be derived from the Pulse Width modulated wave which are applied to each servo motor,at each and every axis. The controller is divided into two major parts namely power block and control block. Power block is carried out by the Arduino controller and the control block is carried out by labVIEW similarly control are been sent serially thought Arduino board to control the position of the servo motor

Confucianism and Changing Gender Roles
Confucianism in South Korea instills the concept of male superiority over women. Although the laws in South Korea establish women’s rights, the practice and norms of society still engender male domination. Korean family norms promote the unity of the family while placing women in a subservient position, the traditional culture requires obedience to a father and then to a husband and sons. Family norms also place the power of family decisions with husbands. Men keep contact politically and socially at village meetings and exchange use of resources and production. As women take on greater productive roles and earn income, their involvement in decision-making increases. Female power within the family has increased also due to increased women's education. Over that last three decades, these traditional views on gender roles influenced by Confucianism have changed drastically, although it is still looked down upon for women to work outside the house, it is slowly being accepted and almost 54% of the female population in South Korea is actively participating the workforce. On the other hand, the male domination over the woman of the house has eased out, and many men do help out with household chores and looking after children while the woman works. Although this is a very small percentage of the population, much lesser than would be desired, it is still a change from the Confucianist principles where the male remains dominant and authoritative. The expectation is that modernization will bring about its empowerment of women and a balance between men and women in both family and society. In the 21st century we try to understand how the roles of men and women have changed in this country that has deeply rooted beliefs of Confucius in their society.

Although there are instances to prove that South Korea is coming out of its traditional views on gender roles, they are still far behind on gender equality when compared to globally desirable standards. The expectation is that modernization will bring about its empowerment of women and a balance between men and women in both family and society. In the 21st century, we try to understand how the roles of men and women have changed in this country that has deeply rooted beliefs of Confucius in their society.

Survey of Generative and Discriminative Appearance Models in Visual Object Tracking
Visual object tracking is a challenging task in computer vision applications. The basic statistical appearance modeling techniques are discriminative and generative. In both cases, online learning is very essential to nullify the error due to large pose changes, illumination variations and appearance changes of the tracking framework. This paper briefly introduces the challenges and applications of visual tracking and focuses on discussing the state-of-the-art online-learning based tracking methods by category. In this paper, the existing statistical schemes for tracking-by-detection are reviewed according to their appearance model creation mechanism; generative and discriminative.

Legacy Network Management Process and Transition to Self-Organizing Network (SON) and SELFNET
Telecommunication sector over the years have undergone rapid transformation catering to high consumer demands and evolving to innovative technologies advancing towards digital convergence. Telecom network system has become more complex and in order to achieve seamless inter-operability among network systems and new technological services along with consistent service delivery in terms of technological and operational change, operators seek more efficient network maintenance practices while reducing capital and operational expenditures. Telecoms will not be able to achieve this without updating to better and automated network management practices thus reducing frequent manual intervention. The transition from manual driven legacy network management process to automated Self-Organizing Networks (SON) for LTE network and to SELFNET for 5G(or beyond 4G network) will enhance existing operations resulting in cost effective, more automated and flexible & cognitive network system integration.

Taiwan Miracle – Taiwan’s Rapid Economic and Industrial Growth Period and Post Miracle Changes
Taiwan’s economic progress can be ascertained from a major political transformation and rapid industrialization. The period of economic development had transformed the country completely and Taiwan became to known as one of the ‘’Four Asian Tigers’’ during this period. The country’s so called economic progress gradually fell down to earth gradually as the year’s passed by due to various reasons.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Barringtonia Acutangula (l.) Gaertn. and its Invitro Anticancer Property
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is very safe and eco-friendly to the environment as well as human. Plants provide a better platform for nanoparticles synthesis as they are easily available, safe, eco-friendly and free from toxic chemicals as well as provide natural capping agents. Secondary metabolites are the reducing agents in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. In the present study, the medicinal plant Barringtoniaacutangula leaf extract was used as reducing agent. The presence of phytoconstituents of Barringtoniaacutangula was analyzed. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by color change and the characterization was done by UV-Vis, FTIR and SEM. The maximum absorbance of silver nanoparticles was attained at 435 nm wavelength. Protein molecules are act as capping agents of silver nanoparticles was suggested by FTIR. Size of the silver nanoparticles above 100nm which were detected by SEM analysis. The antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles also reported on two species such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureusby well diffusion method. Antioxidant analysis of silver nanoparticles was done and the EC50 value was determined. The EC50 value of reducing power method is 0.813 mg/ml and total antioxidant capacity is 1.95mg/ml. The in vitro anticancer activity of silver nanoparticles was done by MTT assay on two cell lines such as HeLa (Human cervical carcinoma) and MCF-7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma) and the IC50 value calculated. For HeLa cell line, the IC50 value was obtained as 45.4 µg/ml and the IC50 value of MCF-7 is 5.6µg/ml.
