Digital Stethoscope: A New Approach to know and Hear Heart Beat and Heart Frequency Rate

The motive of this journal is to digitalize the stethoscope and improve and make easier and accurate measurement of heart beat and frequency rate. The part of the motive of this device is everyone can hear them heart beat and to know about the health with the help of any instruction and network and also heart beat frequency rate, heart beat sound recorded using additional devices and the recording signal (heart beat sound or frequency rate) easily transfer by using smart phone with related apps.

Comparison of FxLMS and NFxLMS Algorithms in MATLAB Using Active Vibration Control

The paper presents simulation results of the performance of adaptive filtering algorithms such as Filtered –x Least Mean Square (FxLMS) and the Normalized Filtered-x Least Mean Square (NFxLMS) algorithm using the concept of active vibration control. The FxLMS and NFxLMS algorithms are most popular in adaptive filtering feed-forward control methods. The FxLMS and the NFxLMS are used in order to overcome the disadvantages of conventional Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. The MATLAB implementations for both the algorithms are carried out and the parameters such as convergence rate, efficiency, and step size results are compared using the principle of Active Vibration Control.

Manilkara zapota (L.) P.Royen (Sapodilla): A Review

Manilkara zapota, also known as Sapodilla, is very commonly distributed in the Indian subcontinent. It is an important member of Sapotaceae family as it is well known all over the world for its traditional medicinal uses. Numerous phytoconstituents have been reported from the plant by different authors that are responsible for many biological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritis, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor and anti-diabetic activities. The present article describes a detailed review of literature for this plant species including taxonomy, pharmacology, and phytochemistry in an organized way. This review paper will surely serve as an important source for the future scientific investigations on this plant.

Customer Perception: Technology Based Banking and its Impact on Financial Inclusion

In the banking sector, digital technology offers an unprecedented opportunity to connect people to services such as savings, loans, insurance, and payments. India remains among the most cash-intensive economies in the world, with a cash-to GDP ratio of around 12 percent. Around 97 percent of all transactions in the country are carried out in cash, and India remains amongst the countries with the lowest access to digital payments. The digital mode of payments gathered momentum in 2016-17, according to RBIs annual report. Technology has proved to be an effective tool to expand financial inclusion. With the Government initiatives, RBI has recommended banks to move towards greater technology adoption to drive financial inclusion. In this paper, the authors analyze the pattern of usage of technology by customers for banking operations and investigate the linkages between the customer satisfaction factors and the factors that influence a customer to move towards technology for various banking services. The study brings out various attributes and factors that influence a customer decision towards using technology tools for banking, makes a quality assessment and brings out the impact on customers’ satisfaction. Finally, with the help of exploratory factor analysis, the paper identifies the factors that attract customers mostly to use the technology tools in banking operations.

Graphical Authentication for Web Based Application

User authentication is an important topic in the field of information security. To enforce security of information, passwords were introduced. Text-based password is a popular authentication method used from ancient times. However, text based passwords are prone to various attacks. Strong text-based password schemes could provide with a certain degree of security. However, the fact that strong passwords are difficult to memorize often leads their users to write them down on papers or even save them in a computer file. Human actions such as choosing bad passwords and inputting passwords in an insecure way are regarded as the weakest link in the authentication chain. A graphical password is one of the alternative solution to alphanumeric password as it is a very simple process to remember the alphanumeric password. One of the major reasons behind this method implementation is that, according to psychological studies human mind can easily remember images than alphabets or digits. Graphical authentication has been proposed as a possible alternative solution to text-based authentication. A new technique of captcha and OTP is being used for the verification purpose. Three times a person is given chance to try for login if the person fails then he is blocked till the session expires.
