Brake pad wear detection using machine learning

Most of the vehicles use a brake disk and brake pad system to stop the vehicle. Brake pad wear is a very important parameter in this system it has a direct effect on the braking performance of the vehicle. A machine learning approach, without using any intrinsic properties like the coefficient of friction of the brake pad material or the area of the brake pads or the composition of the brake pad material, has been proposed. The braking performance of the vehicle is reflected in its stopping distance and hence it is essential to relate the stopping distance and the brake pad wear. The same has been proposed in this document.

Experimental investigation of clayey sand with plastic gunny bag as reinforcement

The soil which is generally weak and possesses high deformation values in vast areas are covered with soil deposits having low shear strength and high compressibility. Clayey sands (SC) mostly tend to exhibit high liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL). The technique of combining any two materials of different strengths to form a composite single material of greater strength is the frequent procedure followed in civil engineering practice. The soil is quite good in compression and weak in tension can’t bear the load alone. When a material of high tensile strength is introduced in the soil as a reinforcing material, the soil turns into a composite material and tends to possess relatively very high strength and attains the ability to carry loads of heavyweights. Reinforced earth is a technique primarily used to increase the ease of construction and cost-effectiveness. Keeping in view the research findings outlined about, in the present experimentation, it was carried out to investigate the efficacy of plastic gunny bags stabilizing the weak soil, thereby, improving the shear strength and bearing capacity of the soil. A systematic methodical process followed involving experimentations in the laboratory under controlled conditions. It was observed that 1cm thickness and 0.03mm thickness of plastic gunny bags with clayey sand effectively improved the shear strength and bearing capacity of the soil.

Review on haze removal technique using advanced dark channel prior filter

This paper reviews and correlates various haze removal techniques to improve the atmospheric light estimation because the intensity of the dark channel is a rough approximation of the thickness of the haze. Images of outdoor scenes are usually degraded by the turbid medium (e.g., particles, water-droplets) in the atmosphere. Haze, fog, and smoke are such phenomena due to atmospheric absorption and scattering. The irradiance received by the camera from the scene point is attenuated along the line of sight. Furthermore, the incoming light is blended with the air light. The degraded images lose the contrast and color fidelity. In poor weather condition, fog removal from an image is an unavoidable problem. Various methods of fog removal have been described in literature. Initially, methods using multiple images which included the use of polarization filter. This method suffers from high time complexity and requirement of multiple images, resulting in non-suitability to real-time applications. This leads to the development of single image fog removal technique such as Dark Channel Prior (DCP), Improved Dark Channel Prior (IDCP), Dark channel prior with Histogram Specification, Anisotropic Diffusion and Improved Dark Channel Prior using Guided Filter. In proposed method, the dark channel is used to improve the atmospheric light estimation because the intensity of the dark channel is a rough approximation of the thickness of the haze. This property is used to estimate the transmission and the atmospheric light. A number of techniques has been proposed by various researchers to improve the atmospheric light estimation and to calculate air-light. The main intent of this review paper is to study and compare the distinct techniques of haze removal along with its drawbacks

Purification of Noyyal River by using phytoremediation technology

Noyyal River is one of the highest polluting rivers in India and heavy metals present in river water is out of standard level. The effluent water of textile industries and spinning mills present in Trippur district discharged into the Noyyal River which polluted the Noyyal river. Because of this contamination affects the crop yields and human health. But purification of River Noyyal by using physical and chemical methods are highly expensive and complicated. In this study phytoremediation technology used for the purification of Noyyal river. Lesser Indian reedmace (Typha angustifolia) serve as a phytoremediation plant which helps in the cleaning up of contamination from the polluted river. The test results show that after phytoremediation treatment COD, BOD, cadmium, chromium, lead, zinc, copper and mercury level gradually reduced within 0 to 15 days interval. Lesser Indian reed mace plant easily grows in the banks of the river. If plantation of Lesser Indian reedmace planted in banks of the river which helps on the removal of heavy metals present in the water gradually. From the result, it can be concluded that the phytoremediation technology is suited for purification of Noyyal river.

Harassment- The threat to engineers’ life

This study has been done to investigate the events of harassment happening in an engineering college in India. Here the pie chart has been used to analyze the data that we have obtained from engineering students. The places and different ways a student is being harassed is brought to light here. Based on the answers by the participants, suggestions or initiatives to be taken to reduce harassment is stated below.

Exploring the potentials, issues, and challenges for community-based tea tourism development (with reference to Hanthana mountains)

The community-based tourism could be one way of creating a more sustainable tourism industry. Community based tourism brings numerous benefits to the wider community by increasing the standard of living in rural areas, which helps in reducing migration to urban areas. The study begins with an assessment of potential tea tourism products that could be developed in the community of Hanthana and the neighboring communities. The research based on qualitative approach in-depth interview and potential identification tool to identifying the tea tourism potentials within the Hanthana area. According to the findings, Hanthana can remark as the most suitable place to promote the tea tourism in Sri Lanka. Paper accomplishes research propositions in line with the empirical and theoretical justifications encouraging future research priorities
