Framework for the implementation of ISO 14001 in educational campuses

The present scenario, where in India is ecologically deficit, demands for a sustainable living. It has become a priceless need. Educational institutions, being the hub for moulding the future society, serve as the best place to create from it a sustainable society. The implementation of ISO 14001 followed by proper audit and documentation helps in keeping par with the above needs. This paper is an effort to formulate a framework for the implementation of ISO 14001 in campuses. A case study is carried out at the Mar Athanasius College of Engineering campus. The initial environmental review is conducted and the possibilities of environmental commitments are worked out. From this, a framework for the ISO 14001 in campuses is formulated.

Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) for authentication and confidentiality at network layer

In internet IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are at the network layer. To exchange the packet at the network layer with security aspects IPSec is used. IPSec uses to transport and tunnel mode for secure communication between the two devices. Transport mode kept the packet header as it is but encrypts the data while in tunnel mode one packet is kept in another packet for the confidentiality of the message. IPSec works to protect the data flow in host-to-host, network-to-network, and network-to-host as well. Here the paper describes the IPSec policy. In this paper, we discuss at network layer how security architecture used for protecting the secrecy and integrity of Internet traffic.

Power factor correction in KY Converter fed Switched Reluctance Motor

This paper presents a PF (Power Factor Correction) converter for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. Here, KY Converter is proposed for a wide variation of speed control and achieving power correction at AC mains. The converter has a switching frequency of 20 kHz. The KY Converter is a step up converter. The name given to this converter is the first letter of the authors, K.I. Hwu, Y. T. Yau. The KY converter always operate in CCM, and the output current is non-pulsating, and output voltage ripple is low and has higher voltage boosting capability. Normally the converter is used as a power converter for SRM drive is the asymmetric converter. Conventionally three phase ac mains is fed to bridge rectifier is used as a dc source to feed this power converter which possesses a high content of harmonics at ac mains with a very low power factor. The proposed converter reduces a conduction loss, input current ripple, torque ripples and also the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and improves power factor. A nearly unity power factor (PF) and 2.97% total harmonic distortion (THD) of input ac current are acquired with maximum efficiency. Thus the presented converter topology gives many advantages for many variable speed drive applications.

A two-parameter fourth-order methods for solving nonlinear equations

In this paper, we present two-parameter iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations. Convergence analysis shows that the new methods converge of order four. Some illustrative examples are solved to show the validity of our method.

Study of tactical alignment of business and IT in education systems

Business - IT alignment (BITA) is one of the most widely discussed topics for the last decade in the area of Information Systems Planning and Management as it stresses the importance of the technology, business management, and an amalgamation of the two that holds the promise for obtaining the sustainable advantage of business organizations in the long run. Business Information Technology Alignment (BITA) has been found to improve firm performance. Yet little is known about the process through which universities/colleges achieve BITA. It the fastest-growing economy in the world.

Study on behavior of SIFCON produced with low tensile strength steel fibre

The acronym SIFCON stands for Slurry Infiltrated Fibre Concrete. SIFCON is a unique kind of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) which has large volume percentages of fibre. In SIFCON we can use fibre from 5 to 20 % of the volume of the cube in comparison with FRC; which contains fiber only from 2% to 5% by volume of the cube because of clustering and balling problem. The SIFCON can also be used in wear & tear cases since it consists of a high-performance ductile layer of high fibre concrete. Although it does not perform any load-bearing function since it is only used in very thin layers. In this research work we have used 6%, 12% and 18% of steel fibre by volume of 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm cube to find out the strength and compare it with SIFCON which is produced due to partial replacement of cement with the powder of glass. Glass is a non-crystalline brittle and hard, somewhat transparent material produced by fusion, usually consisting of mutually dissolved silicate and silica that also contains lime and soda. The waste glass contains high silica due to which when this waste glass is ground to a very fine powder which reacts with alkalis in cement and forms a cementitious product which helps in the contribution of strength. In this work 5%, 10%, 15% & 20% Glass powder is replaced by weight of cement.
