Study on Slope Stability of Earthen Dams by using GEOSTUDIO Software

This paper research explained about slope stability of earthen dams using GEOSTUDIO software. Generally, in earthen dams, the factors included in this analysis are the specific site, foundation conditions, construction material characteristics and hazard potential associated with the particular site. To control the slope failures it is important to analyze the factor of safety of the slopes. To derive factor of safety, the tests are carried out by using numerical modeling of SLOPE/W and SEEP/W tools of GEOSTUDIO software for steady state seepage and sudden drawdown conditions. In this paper factor of safeties are analyzed for four cases, such as (i) without berm without the drained blanket (ii) with berm without a drained blanket (iii) without berm with the drained blanket and (iv) with berm with the drained blanket. Out of four cases, the best case to improve the factor of safety of the slope is (iv) with berm with the drained blanket of the earthen dam.

Mitigation of Sink Hole Attack in MANET Using ACO

MANET (Mobile Ad hoc network) is the emerging and most demanding technology of wireless network. Because of self-deliberate property, the network points behave as router or source and the nodes keep moving freely in the network area. MANET plays a significant role in connectionless infrastructure. Securing a network is the fundamental issue in MANET for securing the susceptible information from hackers. MANET has different attacks that are routing protocol attacks. The sinkhole is known as the severe one from all the attacks in MANET. It generally attracts the neighbor’s nodes towards itself and transmits the bogus or fake routing path. This attack decreases the network lifetime and increases the network overhead by boosting energy consumption and later destroys the network.In the proposed work, the routing protocol is being optimized by utilizing ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) with NN (Neural Network) for achieving enhanced performance as compared to existing work. Different parameters, namely, Bit error rate, throughput, an end to end delay and energy consumption are used for calculating the performance of the proposed work in MANET or to check the effect of Sinkhole attack. The environment created by simulating the work has 50 to 100 nodes. The width and height of the network are 1000 nodes.

MANET Review: Characteristics, Routing Protocols, Attacks and Performance Metrics

The term “mobile” is termed as moving and “Ad hoc” is termed as a temporary network without any centralized administration or permanent infrastructure. Because of the dynamic MANET topology, this review is mainly concentrated on diverse routing techniques that are considered as the main challenges these days. A variety of strategies has been given for the effective routing for providing the enhanced performance. Different routing protocols have been presented for MANET that makes its hard to decide which protocol is appropriate for different network conditions. This paper gives an overview of MANET with its applications and characteristics, its routing protocols, attacks and its performance parameters.

Occupational Therapy Management for Sleep Deprivation in Younger Adults

Sleep is a major domain of quality of life and has an impact on our ability to carry out activities of daily living effectively. Although occasional sleep interruptions are generally no more than a nuisance, ongoing lack of sleep can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, emotional difficulties, poor job performance, obesity and a lowered perception of quality of life. It has become a growing problem among teenagers and college-aged young adults which adversely affects their performance in school/ college, moods, and behaviors. Occupational therapy is primed to address sleep problems by targeting the context and environment, performance patterns, and limited engagement in evening activities that may contribute to poor sleep. This paper is designed to elicit the role of occupational therapy in younger adults in relation to their sleep problems. The paper emphasizes to discover various strategies which are significantly effective to cope up with the problem.

Design and Development of a Portable Instrument for Quantification of Urea in Milk, Alcohol in Vinegar

Milk is the commonly consumed health drink of all ages. To meet the increasing demands of milk, the quality of milk produced has to be increased. This can be achieved by adding unwanted substances called adulterants in milk. Generally, urea is added to increase the quantity of milk and to reduce the quality of milk. The majority of people do not know how to judge about good acetic acid, they are perfectly satisfied if it is sour in taste and has the yellow color or the excellent old cider vinegar that is made by our farmers. It is easy to make cheap vinegar, and no doubt hundreds of people daily use a mixture of vitriol, water, in the firm belief that it is real vinegar, because they have purchased a liquid of that name. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to discuss on the determination of permissible level of alcohol in vinegar, urea in milk by using portable low cost instrument.

Common Mode Voltage Reduction for Three Phase Grid Connected Converters Using Multi Level Pulse Width Modulation Techniques

This paper investigates the performance of three-phase grid connected multi-level (PWM) inverter, with photovoltaic energy conversion system being the main application. The main purpose of this work is to reduce the common mode voltage (CMV) and common mode current (CMC), the performance of the inverter is studied thoroughly. Conventional PWM methods and recently developed reduced common mode voltage PWM (RCMV-PWM) methods are reviewed. The simulation results of CMV, CMC and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) by applying all the PWM Techniques on a grid-connected PV system using a three-phase, three-level Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) are studied. Amongst all the PWM Techniques, Near State PWM (NSPWM) Technique which is an RCMV-PWM Technique yields the best results.
