Comparative analysis of Traditional SCADA systems and IoT implemented SCADA
SCADA system stands as an abbreviation of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It focuses on the supervisory level and is not a full control system. It is a computer system which gathers and analyses real-time data. They are useful in monitoring and controlling a plant or industrial equipment like telecommunications, water, waste control, energy, oil-gas refining, and transportation. It gathers information about a mishap, transfers it back to a central site and alerts the home station about the mishap, carries out necessary analysis and control, like determining if the mishap occurred is critical, and display the information in a logical and organized fashion. They can be relatively as simple as a system which monitors environmental conditions of a small office building, or as complex as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant. IoT acts as a complementary setup to SCADA. SCADA system generates information which acts as one of the data sources for IoT. While the focus of SCADA on monitoring and control, the focus of IoT is firmly on analyzing machine data to improve productivity.

Precocious Puberty Age – A Survey Report in Pipri (Meghe)
The aim of the present survey was to examine the critical study of early puberty age in girls and boys separately, with reference to the Pipri (Meghe), Wardha. The critical study of the puberty was influenced by many factors like present condition of hormones and physical appearance, mostly found in India. The physical and mental changes occurred during pubertal age found in girls and boys were studied through a systematic research with the survey. The researcher employed a research design in which self-administered systemic questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of 30 students from the school. Data were analyzed using the statistical package, and in particular, using means and the independent t-test. Results reflect 60-80% of girls and boys cause’s early puberty and only 60 -70% girls having extreme pain and feeling uncomfortable during their periods, 35% of students can’t give any information regarding their physical changes in the body whereas about 90% of them showed skin changes and early pitch of the voice. From the present investigation, one can give the conclusion that puberty occurs early at the age of 9-13 years in girls whereas 14-15 years in boys. Special attention and monitoring the lifestyle patterns of individuals can resolve such puberty related problems scientifically.

Prototype of a Waste to Energy Landfill Proposed for Kolhapur City
Landfill gas is the gas that is extracted from landfills after the waste in landfill starts degrading. Space utilization to dispose of waste is one of the major concerns in every metropolitan. The general trend of disposing of waste is by dumping it openly and then either burning it or by keeping to degrade. In this paper, we intend to design a landfill for treating the waste of Kolhapur city in 4 different landfill sites and extract the gas from each landfill to further use it for energy generation. Further, we also intend to provide a natural liner material by using a combination of bentonite and GCL. We have compared the economics of landfilling procedure and energy generation thus providing an alternative to transform waste into energy. The waste that is dumped openly proves to be hazardous as the continuous fumes due to fugitive emissions leads to degradation in the air quality and also leads to spontaneous combustion. The dumping site in Kolhapur is spread over 60 acres and the problem of spontaneous combustion is a menace for the people living in the neighboring areas. A landfill site would solve the problem of disposing of the waste and also lead to effective space utilization.

Android Malware Detection through Online Learning
Android malware constantly evolves so as to evade detection. The entire malware population to be non-stationary. Contrary to this fact, most of the prior works on machine learning based android malware detection have assumed that the distribution of the observed malware characteristics (i.e., features) does not change over time. The problem of malware population drift and propose a novel online learning based framework to detect malware, named CASANDRA (Context-aware, Adaptive and Scalable Android malware detector). In order to perform accurate detection, a novel graph kernel that facilitates capturing apps security-sensitive behaviors along with their context information from dependence graphs is proposed. Besides being accurate and scalable, CASANDRA has specific advantages: first, being adaptive to the evolution in malware features over time; second, explaining the significant features that led to an apps classification as being malicious or benign.

Enhancement of Performance of ASP for Organics Removal using Return Sludge as Flocculent in Primary Settling Tank
Renewable energy production and environmental crisis are the recent issues prevailing in the society. Economic growth of the country depends largely on the availability of the renewable energy. Wastewater treatment systems are huge consumers of electricity for accomplishing the task of a safe and healthy environment. Wastewater systems account for about 1- 5 % of total electricity consumption in a country. It is stated that energy consumption contribution per person is about average values of 12-15 kWh/ person-year considering 80% of water @ 180 L per capita per day is contributing to sewage reaching to STP for treatment and BOD of 50g/d. Hence, there is an urgent demand for reducing this consumption for an overall development of our country. Among the aerobic processes, activated sludge process (ASP) represents the most widespread technology for wastewater treatment in India. In ASP major part of the energy consumption (about 60%) occurs in the aeration tank to provide a proper environment for the treatment of wastewater. In wastewater treatment plants, it is very difficult to make power savings in general because the process is continuous, and, on the other hand the treatment technology is based on processes (physical, chemical and especially biological) that cannot be switched off or disconnected from the main supplies. The other option is only to modify the processes in order to save energy. A case study for performance analysis of conventional Activated Sludge Process with use of excess sludge as a flocculent in the Primary Settling Tank was carried out to enhance the operational efficiency of secondary treatment unit and improve the settling characteristics in the Primary settling tank. The performance was assessed by setting up a laboratory scale ASP setup and commissioning the reactor at suitable HRT of 6h scaling down it from 12h. The study aims at improving the settling property of primary settling tank thereby reducing the organic load in aeration tank and reducing the energy consumption of the treatment plant. Many encouraging results were observed which supported the concept that efficiency of primary settling tank can be increased by the addition of the suitable quantity of activated sludge. It was observed that compared to the conventional control (all recycled biomass going to AT), the improvement inorganics removal in our modified system was 38% at 30+40% recycle combination. This can result in overall reduction of the maintenance cost of STP plants in our country.

Seawater Purification Using Earth Source Energy
Lack of fresh water is a general concern and will increasingly become a threat to societies in the future. The water problem is particularly acute during the summer season in the Mediterranean region when the number of people staying there increases considerably. The number of tourists is expected to double by 2025. Drinking water scarcity is likely to increase because of a changing climate. This represents a massive economic, social and environmental threat to semi-arid regions such as the Mediterranean. An important technology to tackle this problem is desalination making fresh drinking water from saline seawater. Most of the current methods, however, are neither cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology that would fulfill both criteria.
