Studies on microstructural and hardness properties of aluminum metal matrix composites

The Al 7075 alloy matrix materials possess mechanical properties with the addition of B4C particulates as reinforcement with varying weight percentage. Stir casting is used for preparing composite workpiece. Composites were adopted for microstructural studies and hardness survey. The hardness properties are examined for the composite materials and revealed that hardness increases with increase in weight percentage of reinforcement.

Industrial development and economic growth

This article is concerned with the industrial development of Nepal. It shows the correlation between the industrial establishment, investment, and employment. The article describes industrial relations and slow process of industrialization in Nepal. Industrial policies followed by the government in different periods are presented and literature regarding Nepalese and outside Nepal are also presented. This article is based on secondary data and information. This paper also examines the contribution of the industrial sector to GDP. Some other GDP scenarios of SAARC countries with respect to their GDP growth rate of industrial sector are also presented in the tabular form. The paper concludes that the rapid industrialization is required to create more employment opportunities and to shift the agriculture labor to an industrial sector along with to solve the problem of increasing unemployment and disguised unemployment. Some policy options are also suggested to increase industrial production in a sustainable manner and with comparative advantage.

Investigation on the influence of effective bracing system in multi-storeyed structure using CYPE

A Bracing system is provided to reduce the lateral deflection of the structure. The use of braced frames has become more effective in high rise structure and also in the seismic design of the structure. The bracing system plays the vital role in structural behaviour during the earthquake. So this paper aims to find out the effect of bracing on multi-storied of the steel building. In this paper, G+19 steel frames are modelled with the different type of bracing pattern and different combination of soft-story using CYPE software.

Design of greenhouse environment monitoring system based on wireless sensor network

In the greenhouse environmental monitoring system, the wired sensor networks have some issues, for example, complicated wiring, inflexible sensor location, cable soften and corrosion and so on. To solve the above problems, we use ZigBee technology to build a wireless sensor network for monitoring temperature, humidity, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration. And each node is low-power design. Based on the Modbus protocol, we built RS-485 bus to achieve the communication between a number of greenhouse sensor networks and upper computer (PC). The system has advantages such as flexible sensors placement, low power consumption, easy installation maintenance and expansion, low cost, strong practicability.

Framework for analyzing stress using deep learning

These days most people frequently experience stress and anxiety. Chronic and excessive stress can lead to increase in blood pressure, insomnia, heart attacks or even death. Stress has become a prevailing factor for causing mental illness agencies. The Leacock-Chorodow (LCH) algorithm, an advanced deep learning algorithm along with the WordNet library. If we do not get a control on our stress, it becomes deep-rooted and can seriously interfere with our daily activities. So, it is important to detect stress before it interferes with a person’s well-being. Traditional face-to-face psychological diagnosis and treatment cannot meet the demand of peoples' stress completely due to its lack of timeliness and diversity. Nowadays the influence of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media giants has spread across modern society. People share their daily activities with friends on social media platforms. So, we create a social website where people can interact with their friends and this social media data can be used to analyze user’s stress state. Our model will be useful in developing stress detection tools for health is used to detect the stressed words from a user’s tweet. We subsume two types of attributes namely tweet-level content attributes where we consider each and every tweet or post made by the user and user-scope statistical attribute where the weekly tweet is taken. We propose a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model to incorporate the two types of user-scope attributes to detect users’ psychological stress. Our social website can be used to detect stress based on the user’s interactions with his friends and how active the user is on the social website.

Fuzzy theory based resource allocation problem with possibilistic approach: A case study of sandwich factory

Now a day many service industries do not aim the optimal data as in real situation. Many decision making is done using fuzzy data if we want to select the products like mobile, food, laptop, clothes, cars, house, property etc we see the rating or stars i.e. is actually fuzzy data. Most of the service provider asks for the feedback from the customer, those data which they collect sometime in the form of (bad, good, excellent) some time (bad, average, good, excellent) sometime in the form of stars etc. In this chapter, we have formulated the problem of resource allocation problem using triangular and trapezoidal numbers in the objective function. We have deployed possibilistic approach to convert fuzzy problems into single-valued and then linear and exponential membership function is used as tools. Lingo 15 is used to solve the problem. Using different sap parameter optimal solution is obtained with the degree of satisfaction which helps Decision maker to take the decision.
