Monitor of respiratory movement and caretaking system in baby cradle
The paper introduces a helping hand for the busy professional parent. Parent of an infant is a responsible task. We are introducing an embedded system in the baby cradle that acts as a helping hand to nurture our next generation. With minimal effort, it creates worriless and affectionate bond between the two while the parent is busy with professional work. The system pampers the baby and alerts the parent at the time baby cries. ARM7 microcontroller based system along with servomotor and MP3 module pampers the baby, the sound sensor detects when the baby cries, the pressure sensor detects the presence of a baby in the cradle, accelerometer sensor module takes a reading of cradle swing, the ultrasonic sensor senses the breathing movement during baby sleep time. All the collected data in CSV format get transferred to PC/laptop that can be stored to analyze baby sleep hours or how often the baby needs attention or can help to the pediatrician to diagnose some kind of disease.

Some studies on concrete prepare by using fiber reinforcement and GGBS as a partial replacement of cement
In our work experimental investigation is carried out to study the different strength characteristics of concrete with partial replacement of cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and an addition of steel fiber. In this investigation of M30 grade of concrete, cement is replaced with GGBS ground granulated blast furnace slag (10%, 20% and 30%) by weight and addition of steel fibers with different aspect ratio of 79 & 55 in different percentage (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) to the weight of concrete. Economical and technical analysis has been done on GGBS and steel fiber concrete. workability of concrete and Strength of concrete was determined by performing compression test (150mm x 150mm x 150mm) size cube, split tensile test (150 mm diameter and 300 mm length cylinders) and flexural strength (100 mm x 100mm x 500mm) size beam. Finally, the strength performance of slag blended fiber reinforced concrete is compared with the performance of conventional concrete.

A review on some studies on concrete prepare by using fiber reinforcement and GGBS as a partial replacement of cement
Concrete is probably the most extensively used construction material in the world. The main ingredient in the conventional concrete is Portland cement. The amount of cement production emits approximately equal amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cement production is consuming a significant amount of natural resources. That has brought pressures to reduce cement consumption by the use of supplementary materials. Availability of mineral admixtures marked the opening of a new era for designing concrete mix of higher and higher strength. GROUND GRANULATED BLAST FURNACE SLAG (GGBS) is a new mineral admixture, whose potential is not fully utilized. Moreover, only limited studies have been carried out in India on the use of slag for the development of high strength concrete with an addition of steel fibers.

The early seeds of justice and development of judicial system in India
The disposal of fair justice and the maintenance of peace is one of the most important features of state in the modern society. Indeed, it is the caliber of the judiciary that adds to the excellence of government. The study of the development of judicial system reveals the brief history of how the Indian state in earlier times surrendered its power to the English trading company and how there was a gradual change in political and social ideas which ultimately led to the establishment of modern judicial system prevalent in India today. Earlier, traces of justice in India could be tracked as back as from the very existence of human life. It could be seen as back as from ancient India where kings were considered as the ultimate head, delivering justice, believed to be an incarnation of God and giving away justice on his behalf. The laws and policies were also based on the basic necessities of people. Changing the above, the advent of East India Company traced the actual picture of the judicial system in India which was based on practical knowledge of law rather than religious and traditional practices. The reforms of various Governors ruling India during East India Company’s rule followed by the control of British Crown on India ultimately, followed by the independence of India in 1947. The development of the judicial system was a gradual steady process of discovering and developing various aspects of judicial system and laws to ultimately adjust it according to the changing needs of the modern prevalent society. Developing from the King as the ultimate head we have reached where people have the equal rights in the society and there is the distribution of power among various people to avoid supremacy and to adapt to the changing circumstances of the judicial system important to provide necessary justice in order to maintain peace and discipline throughout.

Effect of temperature on fatigue crack propagation under constant amplitude loading
The present study relates to fracture mechanics and its aim is to find the effect of temperature on fatigue crack propagation under constant amplitude loading. The thermo-mechanical uniaxial and biaxial-planar fatigue behavior of the structural steel was investigated for constant amplitude loading at room temperature and between temperature range 673K and 923K. A fatigue analysis has been done for cruciform specimen using ANSYS 15.0 to find out the crack propagation and life of the material at different temperatures. A comparative study between the results obtained from ANSYS 15.0 and experimental results has been done to validate our analysis. A change from a mainly transgranular fracture at 673K to a mostly intergranular fracture at 923K was found under thermo-mechanical fatigue loading. Effect of temperature on crack propagation is presented which gives the best life prediction.

Medium Access Control and Quality-of-Service Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous system consisting solely of mobile terminals connected with wireless links. This type of network has received considerable interest in recent years due to its capability to be deployed quickly without any fixed infrastructure. Nodes self-organize and re-con gure as they join, move, or leave the network. How to design distributed protocols capable of handling the dynamic nature of these networks is an interesting but di cult topic. When TDMA is used, distributed protocols are needed to generate transmission schedules. An important issue is how to produce a schedule quickly. This is critical when the network is large or the network changes frequently. Here we develop two fully distributed protocols for generating or updating TDMA schedules. The contention is incorporated into the scheduling protocols for them to work independently of the network size. The schedule can be generated at multiple parts of the network simultaneously. In the Five-Phase Reservation Protocol (FPRP), a broadcast schedule is produced when nodes contend among themselves using a new ve-phase message exchange mechanism. In the Evolutionary-TDMA scheduling protocol (E-TDMA), schedules are updated when nodes contend to reserve transmission slots of different types (unicast, multicast, broadcast). Both are scalable protocols suitable for large or dynamic networks. Another issue related to medium access control is transmission power control. Our contribution to power control is to develop a channel probing scheme for networks applying power control, which allows a node to probe a channel and estimate the channel condition. It can be used for dynamic channel allocation in a TDMA or FDMA system or admission control in a DS/CDMA system. It is a fully distributed scheme which requires little communication overhead. Multiple links can probe a channel simultaneously and each makes individual yet correct decisions. The last topic is Quality-of-Service routing. The ancient distributed scheme is developed to calculate the end-to-end bandwidth of a route. By incorporating this scheme with the AODV protocol, we developed an on-demand QoS routing protocol which can support CBR sessions by establishing QoS routes with reserved bandwidth. It repairs a route when it breaks. Load balancing and route redundancy are also achieved. It is applicable for small networks or short routes under relatively low mobility.
