Experimental Analysis on Concrete by Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Powdered Ceramic Tile

Concrete is the most versatile material in building industry. River Sand is scarcely available now and other alternative materials are being tried. Ceramic tiles are widely used in the construction industry in which about 25% becomes waste. This investigation deals with replacing sand partially with 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of waste powdered ceramic tile in concrete. The test results for M30 grade concrete with water cement ratio of 0.4 and partial replacement by 30% shows an increase of 13% and 15% respectively in compressive and flexural strength. For 40% replacement of sand with ceramic tile, the compression and flexural strength are at par with conventional concrete. The result leads to the effective utilization of ceramic tile waste thus by reducing the disposal and environmental problems.

Comparative Evaluation of Mast Cell Tryptase Activity in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), Oral Precancerous Pathologies (OPP) and Normal Oral Mucosa (NOM)

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity. Many times it is preceded by oral precancerous pathologies (OPP) namely leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and oral submucous fibrosis. The rate of malignant transformation is variable for these premalignant pathologies. Mast cells have a predominant role in tumor progression and metastasis. Mast cells contain proteolytic enzymes tryptase and chymase which is responsible for degradation of extracellular matrix. In the current research project, we have studied the comparative expression of mast cell tryptase activity in OSCC, OPP & NOM using immunohistochemistry method.

Hand Detection and Gesture Recognition in Real-Time Using Haar-Classification and Convolutional Neural Networks

Over the past few years, with the development of hardware and software, Human-Computer Interaction(HCI) has evolved from the use of keyboard and mouse to a more gesture-based approach to make the computer function according to your own will. Gesture Recognition has been used successfully in various applications like gaming (Xbox Kinect), recognizing sign languages and many others. The use case for the gesture recognition problem is very vast and therefore is being worked on continuously.

Improving End-to-End Throughput in Wireless Network using Spatial Reusability

The optimal route from the source node to the destination node that guarantees a high end-to-end throughput is the main issue of routing in multi-hop wireless network. As the environment is heterogeneous the issue seems to be much complex, most of the solutions end with local optimum because those algorithms mostly fail to ensure an end to end throughput. By considering spatial reusability of wireless media, the end-to-end throughput in wireless multi-hop remote systems can be enhanced massively. To support the argument, Spatial-reusability Aware Single-path Routing (SASR) algorithm is proposed and compared with existing single path routing protocol. The assessment showed that proposed protocol show significant improvement in end-to-end throughput in comparison with existing protocols.

Conservation and Management of Medicinal Plants in India

India is floristically rich and is recognized as one of the twelve Mega biodiversity centers of the world. It is endowed with a rich heritage of medicinal plant wealth with a wide spectrum of healing properties. The traditional Indian system of medicine has been therefore well developed due to this richness of bio-resources. Interest and demand for herbal remedies are undoubtedly increasing very rapidly today. This has resulted into over exploitations of our natural bio-resources leading some important medicinal plant species to rarity, extinction and endangered state. It, therefore, appears that current concern must be addressed to this problem. Conservation is the process of management of biosphere in order to obtain the greatest benefit for the present generation and maintaining the potential for future. Conservation of plant resources is of global concern because we don’t know what we are losing and what will need in future. There is a necessity to strike a balance between conservation and utilization of these medicinal plants.

Literature Review on Diverse Techniques in Anti-Money Laundering System

Money laundering is a process of converting black money into white cash. Anti-money laundering is a procedure or method to find these laundering activities. Although efforts on anti-money activities started at an early stage, the solutions seem to be restricted to a strategic level. Mostly the perpetrators of criminal acts strive to make the transactions as innocent looking as possible. Extensive research has been conducted to investigate a proper solution for suspicious transaction detection. But there is no reliable system to confirm if the exchange is really suspicious or not and the process is also very tedious. This paper surveys several approaches and algorithms that have been proposed for anti-money laundering System.
