Prospects of tourism in Nepalese economy
This article examines some of the tourism indicators and the contribution of tourism to the Nepalese economy. The number of tourists inflow through bus and air services and their percentages are discussed. Since 1985 to 2016 the contribution of tourism sector indicators such as the percentage of total foreign exchange earning and its share in GDP, average expenditure per visitor and average expenditure per visitor per day are discussed with annual data for the period 20001 - 2015/16. Further, the duration of tourist's stay and annual growth rate of tourist, and percentage change of foreign exchange earnings in the yearly basis are discussed. The data on the number of tourist arrival, their duration of stay and the growth rate in percentage, from 1985 to 2016 and the contribution of tourism sector to national economy is presented from 2000/01. The significance is tested using t-test. Further, this articles examines the prospects, and review of literature, review of tourism sector in periodic plan, and some problems facing tourism sector and some suggestion for the development of tourism sector. Nepal still is unable to recover its structures damaged by the earthquake of 2015, which has affected the tourist arrival in the country. Furthermore, the article describes the prospects for tourism industry in Nepal with reference to its biodiversity and natural beauty.

Mobile healthcare SMS service
Usage of mobile applications and wireless networks is growing rapidly in different sectors in the world. Mobile healthcare application is devotedly accepted by the healthcare organizations and also by patients. Providing health care and related services through the SMS, or e-health care is an emerging phenomenon. Wireless personal computing devices are finding a niche in the healthcare communities, promising point-of-care access to medical records and information ranging from patients to drug libraries. In this paper, we have presented a software-based application for health care centers entitled “Mobile Health Care SMS Service’.This project is a prototype of a wireless health monitoring system capable of sending SMS related to the health status of the patient. 1. The projects work at two different levels as follows 2.System provides the medical information used for the desktop on wired networks. The system has a mobile context server that re-configures mobile contents according to the mobile device. The mobile context sever applies context to the contents by using styles, a property override, and templates according to the resources of a given mobile device. In this way, the system serves reconfigured web contents to the mobile device.

Fingerprint based security system for vehicles
In this age of soaring vehicle thefts, vehicle safety has become a matter of prime importance. Investigators owe this increase in thefts to the lack of proper parking spaces in residential areas and lack of availability of sophisticated security devices. As a solution to the aforementioned problem, we have developed a prototype model of fingerprint based security system for vehicles by interfacing Fingerprint sensor module R307 along with Arduino Uno. A person can start the vehicle, but only upon fingerprint authentication can the person put the vehicle into motion. On recognition of the fingerprint, the valve fixed in the outlet of fuel tank opens, thereby allowing the flow of fuel to the engine.

RSM application for optimization of ECMM parameter using S1 Tool steel
S1 tool steel (60WCrV7) are used for the production of cold shear knives, ejector pins, air hammers etc. It is very difficult to machine S1 Tool steel alloys using conventional machine tools due to high toughness, impact resistance, dimensional stability and high hardening capacity. The Electrochemical Machining (ECM), a non-traditional manufacturing process, is a prime choice for machining S1 Tool steel alloys. The main aim in present work is to investigate the influence of ECM process parameters, such as applied voltage (V), inter-electrode gap (IEG), electrolyte flow rate (F.R.) and electrolyte concentration (EC), on Radial Overcut (ROC) during machining S1 Tool steel material. An aqueous solution of sodium nitrate (NaNO3) is used as an electrolyte. The experimental strategy depends on design formulated using response surface methodology. The effects of process parameters as well as their interactions are investigated and the process parameters are optimized by application of the response surface methodology

An experiment on CBA concrete
The coal-fired thermal power plants are the main source of coal bottom ash. Coal Bottom Ash is used as a replacement of both sand and cement depending on the size of bottom ash. The present study will provide a better understanding of the mechanical and durability properties of concrete in which cement is partially replaced with bottom ash. The present thesis would contribute to the efforts being made in the field of concrete technology towards the development of concretes possessing good strength. Based on the study, valuable advice will be given to concrete structures. In the present experimental study, the various strength properties like a compressive strength of concrete and also durability properties like Acid attack test on both ordinary concrete and coal bottom ash Concrete, best coal bottom ash concrete mix is carried out and compared with an ordinary concrete mix for economic and ecological study. In this study different percentage of ordinary and grinded coal bottom ash is used. It was found that with the increase in the amount of coal bottom ash, standard consistency, initial and final setting time increases at the same time workability of concrete decreases. It was also found that initial day’s strength is less for bottom ash concrete compare to control mix, but as the age increases, they show good improvement in strength due to a pozzolanic reaction. Optimum dosage is observed to be 15% GBA which shows more strength compared to the control mix at 56 days. It was found that with the increase in an amount of bottom ash resistance to acid attack increases. GBA shows more resistance to acid attack compared to OBA. With the increase in the amount of bottom ash. It was also found that at optimum dosage i.e at 15% replacement of cement with GBA it is also economical and also amount of CO2 Emitted is also decreasing that means it is also environmentally friendly compared to control mix.

Autonomous and self-driving car
Today, in twenty-first-century Information Technology is revolutionizing everything around us. All our daily drivers, things we depend on, things which makes our lives easy are getting smart day by day; the automobile industry is no behind and is moving with great pace. We are seeing intense growth in technology that is powering today’s automobiles enabling us to rely heavily on the system, improving our driving abilities, minimizing the chances of accidents and saving human efforts and lives in the end. With technological advancements, application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Leaning and powerful hardware to drive the system, not in distant future, we will see the vehicles that can drive themselves on urban roads with heavy traffic scenarios relieving humans from putting their immense efforts and precious time in driving the vehicles and allowing them to invest the time in doing some productive work. There will be a time in future where roads will be grids for self-driving cabs, running with no drivers, when there will be no traffic jams or conjunctions because of rough driving, when meeting will be conducted in cars, your car will drop your kids to schools, take you to hospital in emergency situations and it will be your complete infotainment system. However, there remain many facets to polish when it comes to complete self-driving experience. We still have hurdles to cross such as extreme environmental conditions, pedestrians, ethical dilemmas of decision making, etc.
