Effect of In Vitro Protein Digestibility on Bioavailable Protein in Cereals, Pseudo Cereals, Pulses and Super Seeds in both Uncooked and Cooked form

The nutritive value of protein in any food matrix depends on protein digestibility. Protein digestibility determines the bioavailability of the protein. Hence it is important that one should know protein digestibility to understand the nutritional value of the food matrix. The purpose was to study protein digestibility and understand the influence of protein digestibility on bioavailable protein. In cereals, protein digestibility is ranging from 59-to 90%, which is the highest and Sorghum is having lowest. 90% protein digestibility was obtained for pseudocereals and is comparable to wheat. Super seeds are rich in protein as well as in bioavailable protein as they exhibited superior digestibility of protein. In the case of pulses, all tested varieties have shown promising protein digestibility (91-84%) except for red kidney beans (75%). Also, a significant difference of p>0.01 was observed between protein content and bioavailable protein based on protein digestibility in both uncooked and cooked samples with few exceptions. These findings suggest that the protein digestibility of the food matrix is an important factor.

Gun mechanism for border security

The aim of this project is to develop and design a semi-automated sentry gun security system in order to detect, track and shoot the target for surveillance operations. This project is of a sentry gun that will be semi-automatic using an Arduino controller. It is a global issue that everyone wants to protect themselves and their beloved nation from various threats and dangers and keep their surroundings safe. This is a Bluetooth-based targeting gun system as the name suggests, it is based on a digitally controlled gun mechanism. This mechanism is built for good performance in the field with high sum accuracy, self-reloading gun, and ultimately used for soldier’s assistance. The gun mechanism used here is called a sentry gun because it has a gun mounted on a wall or stand and an operator can operate it from a control room via remote. It uses an IP camera to scan the area under surveillance and motion in that area is detected by a PIR sensor. It can definitely perform better in areas where human presence is prohibited. It will bring positive outcomes and reduce the death toll, if installed at every border and law enforcement agency, to stop undesirable & illegal intrusion.

Case Study

The future of work in ASEAN: A matter of sustainability

ASEAN was initiated and formed on August 8th, 1967, a decade lesson learned from EEC which was formed by the 6 countries in 1958. However, in the case of the ASEAN community, it should not be foot-steeping to the EU. Since their landscape and demography are tremendously different: from no technology(mountainous/hill tribes) to high technology(Singaporean). The high percentage of the population classified as no technology to low technology is mainly in CLMV which joined the ASEAN in the late 1990s, while the medium to high technology consumers are in the ASEAN founding member states and Brunei Darussalam. These affect various kinds of jobs, skills, performances, productions and living styles/culture, and sustainability. Since some groups of people are among the top of the world(3rd to 4th wave) while the others are far left behind(1st wave). It is interesting the question of “What and how the sustainable work would be fit to the ASEAN members?” This issue is a black box or paradox of the “One vision, one identity, one community”. However, some studies revealed that the CLMV are focal points of the FDI’s industrial landmark due to new low-cost production sites, cheap labor, special economic zones, and benefit from AFTA to a huge market of US$2.6 trillion and over 622 million people. Our study revealed that a lot of FDIs, especially those advanced technology industries, do not employ the local cheap labor but substitute by installing robots or automatic machines or importing skilled labor from their own countries or from neighboring countries. In developed regions, computer skills and information technology skills are increasingly demanded in the labor market while the technical skills for natural products or handmade value-added development are highly demanded in rural areas. Otherwise, those agriculturists could not survive due to climate change.

Survey Report

Teaching effectiveness and academic environment in the Government Polytechnics of Assam

Teaching effectiveness and academic environment are the two important variables that determine the quality of student output from any institution. There are large-scale variations among the polytechnics in w.r.t. teaching effectiveness and academic environment. Again, there are multiple factors that affect teaching effectiveness. The factors are related to students, teachers, teaching-learning, and the academic environment of the institution. The academic environment includes the dimensions: institutional resources and facilities, involvement of students in teaching-learning, organization of scheduled activities, interaction with faculty and other staff etc. The author carried out a study to find out any differences in teaching effectiveness and academic environment in the polytechnics of Assam. The sample of the study was final year students studying in different Government polytechnics of Assam. In the study, a total of nine Government polytechnics were targeted and a total of nineteen branches were selected by taking 50% of the total branches of each institute subject to the inclusion of at-least two branches from each institute. Fifteen final semester students were randomly selected from each branch hence, a total of 285 (two hundred eighty-five) students were included in the study. Students Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) and Academic Environment Scale (AES) tools were used for collecting the data. The study reveals that there are significant differences among the various Govt. polytechnics of Assam with respect to various dimensions of teaching effectiveness and academic environment. It was also observed that most of the dimensions of teaching effectiveness and academic environment of Assam Textile Institute had a significantly higher rating than other polytechnics wherever significant differences were observed.

Data Compression using a Generic Approach

The amount of data being generated in the great age of Big Data is enormous, which in turn has led to a large demand for storage infrastructures. With this growing demand, the storage infrastructures that depend on natural resources like silicon for hardware will become expensive. Hence there is a need to use techniques that minimize the size required by the data and efficiently store the data in these infrastructures. Data compression is a technique that reduces the size of data. This project’s goal is to reduce the size of the original data without losing the quality of the data. We propose a generalized system with which data of any type or more commonly multimedia can be reduced in size without losing the quality of the data.

Monitoring Social Distancing

Social Distancing measures are important to reduce the COVID-19 spread. In order to break the chain of spread. A deeper understanding of the epidemic suggests that a person's negligence can cause widespread harm that would be difficult to negate. This project demonstrates a system that is useful in monitoring public places like ATMs, malls, and hospitals for any social distancing violations. It would be conveniently possible to monitor individuals whether they are maintaining the social distancing in the area under surveillance and also to alert the people as and when there are any violations from the predefined limits. We aim to develop a framework that tracks humans for monitoring the social distancing being practiced.
