Eco-sanitation as a means to treat wastewater from underground metro rail stations

Sanitation trouble exists for people throughout the globe: simple human waste collection and remedy is inaccessible to a whole lot of the world’s populace; and the reputation-quo gray infrastructure system of sanitation is unsustainable and fallacious for extensive software. Ecological sanitation, or ecosan, refers to a range of sanitation technologies in which human excreta is recovered and retained on-web page, and in the end reused. The underlying aim is to shut (nearby) nutrient and water cycles with as little expenditure on fabric and strength as viable to contribute to sustainable development. Human excreta are treated as a resource and are typically processed on-website online and then treated off-site. The nutrients contained in excreta are then recycled via the use of them, e.G., in agriculture. EcoSan is a systemic approach and a mindset; unmarried technology is the most effective method to an end and may vary from near-herbal wastewater treatment techniques to compost toilets, easy family installations to complicated, specifically decentralized structures. These techniques aren't ecological consistent with se however best on the subject of the found surroundings. They are picked from the complete range of available conventional, present-day and conventional technical options, combining them to EcoSan structures. The paper affords an advent to EcoSan standards and Zero waste toilet devices as a way to make certain powerful eco-sanitation.

A comparative study on usage of Python and C/C++ for firmware development

The C/C++ programming languages dominate embedded systems programming,though they have a number of disadvantages. Python on the other hand has many strengths that make it a great language for embedded systems. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Python and C Programming languages in the context of firmware development.

HelpApp – A WiFi direct based disaster management application

Communication during a disaster is very crucial and a very challenging domain due to the fact that the traditional communication infrastructure are very prone to go offline which prevents the people stuck in the disaster to communicate with each other and report their status to the rescue authorities which in turn causes delays to rescue operations. To enable communication between devices during a disaster and for effective and productive rescue operations, we propose an Android Application (named HelpApp) to overcome the inoperative traditional communication network where we use WiFi Direct. Android OS is used because it has 70% of the total smartphone users in the world 95.2% of the market share in India. While the primary connection is WiFi Direct, we make use of WiFi Legacy to give it adhoc-like behaviour where the network can be largely scaled up. A prototype of this application has been successfully built and tested in a controlled environment to show the capabilities. This application is published under a FOSS license and source code is available on GitHub.

Enrichment of black cotton soil using demolished crushed concrete from Maradu

Some natural resources such as gravel are not renewable, therefore, it is necessary to reduce the use of such resources and replace them with other recycled, economic, and environmentally friendly materials. Recycled crushed concrete aggregates demolished from old buildings and blocks of waste concrete can be used to replace the natural aggregates. The present study focused on using recycled crushed concrete in improving the geotechnical properties of soft soil having undrained shear strength of 4.15 K Pa. The soft soil samples were mixed with 5, 10, and 15% of crushed concrete. The blocks of waste concrete are grinded by mills to get crushed concrete which passing sieve no. 4.75. Such aggregates are lighter than natural aggregates and provide a good deformation modulus when mixed with soil.

Framework for classification of music based on tempo using Naïve Bayes and cloud storage

Music is considered as one the best form of expression of emotions. The music that people hear is governed by what mood they are in. The characteristics of music such as rhythm, melody, harmony, pitch, and timbre play a major role in human physiology and psychological functions, thus altering their mood. The Naive Bayes classifier is considered a popular classification technique in machine learning. It’s been shown to be very effective on a range of test data sets. However, the strong assumption that each attribute is independent of each other is often violated in real-world problems. In this paper, we have applied locally weighted Naïve Bayes to data stored within cloud to automate the process of classification of music.

Design and implementation of floating point processor

The floating point processor is the backbone of digital signal processing units. In real time applications it is necessary to have a powerful processor which has a very high level of precision. This can only be achieved using a floating point unit.We are going to incorporate various instructions which will be serving for a dynamic range of applications. The floating point unit needs to be fast enough to process real time signals. An efficient design of the floating point processor can help in reducing the area and increasing the speed.
