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.

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

Smart mobile devices using ultrasound proximity networking model in IoT applications

For sending a small amount of data such as URLs, IoT commands or encryption key are extremely common in IoT applications. Smartphones are used to transfer text commands to interact with IoT devices. This application uses ultrasound as a means of data transmission for proximity networking on commodity, consumer hardware. This application closely examines different modulation or demodulation schemes that are inaudible to humans and achieve a high data transfer rate. This application is designed a library to run well on low- powered devices, and provide a socket-like interface for easy deployment. This helps protect users from various attacks improving the security of our system.

Smart irrigation using IoT

Smart Irrigation can transform agricultural discipline from being manual and static to automatic and dynamic resulting in higher production with lesser human intervention. This model maintains the desired soil moisture level in the soil and sends the data to Arduino. The Arduino acts as a control unit. Based on the sensed values, water will be supplied to the plant which can help us to avoid over-irrigation and under irrigation. Water sensor is used to sense the amount of water still available in the tank. Information from the two soil moisture sensors will be regularly updated to the web page using WIFI module and message alert will be sent to the user. Sensor values are uploaded to the thingspeak channel to generate graphs for analysis, the same can be viewed in-app and motor can be controlled. Real-time data can be viewed in thingspeak cloud.

Developing an advanced smart parking system using IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in connecting the surrounding things of an environment to the network and provides easy access from the remote location. It is essential that the people should be update along with the growing technology. In a present world, there are numerous number of vehicles owned by the people. Due to this large number of vehicles, there will be a lot of discomfort for parking of a vehicle at public places such as shopping complexes, function halls, and cinema theatres. In such places it is very difficult to find an vacant place to park the vehicle, even though it is a paid facility along with the security guard. In this study we design an Advanced Smart Parking System (ASPS) which identifies the vehicle and displays an empty slot on the display at the entrance gate of the parking. So that the person will know whether there is any availability or not before entering into the parking place. This system of design also provides the shortest path from the entrance gate to the assigned parking slot by showing the directions through LED’s. This process of implementation does not involve human interaction except the payment collection.
