A review on characterstic behaviour of porous concrete and conventional concrete
Porous concrete is made using large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows water to pass through the concrete slab. Porous concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses. It is an important application for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact development techniques used by builders to In the presence of clayey soil, water can be percolated through providing borehole at every 1-2km with the help of drainage system. Water can be filtered and stored as the freshwater below the ground. We can also give direction to water specifically according to need. By providing the certain angle to the flaky aggregate water which gets drained will make its way to the slope going down towards the sewer line or any other drainage arrangement. This could be useful where soil strata have less water absorption capacity.

Classification of tweets into various categories using classification methods
Social media has become an important part of our regular life and Twitter is one of the famous among them. As the growth and uses of social media are increasing rapidly so does the twitter, the number of Twitter users has reached an estimate of 330 million monthly active users. Twitter provides a list of trending topics in real time, but it is often hard to understand what these trending topics are all about. It is important and necessary to classify these topics into various categories with high accuracy for better information retrieval. With the enormous volume of data being generated on TWITTER [1], it is imperative to find a computational means of filtering. To address this problem, we classify tweets into various categories such as sports, politics, technology, etc. We will use various algorithms such as Naïve Bayes classifier, Support Vector Machine classifiers to classify the tweets into various categories and check the accuracy of each algorithm.

Automated control of valves and pump of a biodiesel plant
Biodiesel production involves the transesterification process, where the triglyceride lipid source converts as fatty acid methyl esters and glycerol. A large amount of waste cooking oil is produced globally and will dispose of the available energy. According to the Health Laws of Waste Cooking Oil, it does not need to be recycled in the food industry. In this research, the main objective was to create a small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) plant for the production of biodiesel from improving the process requirements and from waste cooking oil. The product can be used in place of petroleum diesel for automotive and industrial applications without any environmental impact and ensures the same performance of internal combustion engines with essential changes. The aim is to develop an automated machine to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil. The machine is building alternative methods for re-use of waste cooking oil to make biodiesel. Biodiesel can be used to produce waste vegetable oil as a raw material. Waste vegetable oil is easily available and cheaper and the process of converting waste vegetable oil into biodiesel takes time, and biodiesel production requires an operator to run the system. Due to these requirements, a typical biodiesel system requires much operator interaction which is not overcome by the existing system. The system was designed and built in conjunction with pumps, valves, temperature sensors, etc., to completely handle the production of biodiesel with minimum operator interaction. The developed system circulates the fluid throughout the system and presenting the end user with biodiesel upon completion of a full cycle.

Studies on ore mineralogy of placer ilmenite from parts of east coast of India
Abstract Placer ilmenites from three deposits of Andhra Pradesh coast have been investigated for their ore mineralogy. The deposits studied are Kakinada, Bhimunipatnam, and Srikurmam. Standard ore mineralogical methodology adopted for the preparation of polished sections of placer ilmenite grains from the three deposits. The detailed study of these sections under reflected light microscope revealed that the ilmenites from Kakinada are devoid of exsolutions whereas the ilmenites from other two deposits have indicated exsolved phases in the grain level textures, these phases are mainly Ilmenau-hematite, hemo-ilmenite and exsolved phases of rutile. The grain level textures or exsolved phases observed are 1) Homogenous ilmenites, 2) Ilmenites with simple Exsolutions, 3) Ilmenites with complex Exsolutions, 4) Irregular forms, 5) Dispersion or emulsion texture, 6) Lamellar Texture, 7) Skeletal Texture, 8) Worm like lamellae 9) Myrmekitic or Graphic Exsolutions and, 10) Alteration textures. Their presence will have implications for the processing of ilmenites. Because of the fact that the hematite phases in the ilmenite grain will make the ilmenite more iron-rich and thus may result from some processing problems as well as reduced titanium recovery.

Microcontroller based seeding and plowing using sensor and Bluetooth technology
In the field of agriculture in India, seeding and plowing are the two important operations. In order to increase the agricultural yield, these two operations must be effectively carried out. Agriculture is a vast economic zone and plays an important role in the overall economic development of the nation. Technical advances in the field of agriculture determine the potential for some agricultural activities. In this paper, we have proposed a novel approach to smart farming by connecting smart sensitivity systems through wireless communications technology. At present, the technologies used for these two operations are not up to the mark. Therefore, an attempt is made in this project to suggest effective technical methods to improve the seeding and plowing operations. Agriculture is a major economic sector and plays an important role in the overall economic development of the nation. Technical advances in the field of agriculture determine the efficiency of some agricultural activities In this project Renesas 64 pin microcontroller is used, it is the main component of the project, it controllers all the operations performed by the machine. Bluetooth is used for communication purpose. When the machine start moving in forward direction, ultrasonic sensor detect the obstacle present in the path of the vehicle, and it start plowing with the help of DC motor, connected to the plow mechanism. Seed sowing is done with the help of solenoid valve. The names of two operations (seeding and plowing) is displayed on LCD. So that these machines reduce the human effort ensuring efficient utilization of resources.

Airport with a circular runway in India
In India, there are 26 international airport and 18 domestic airports. Indira Gandhi International airport in Delhi is the busiest airport in India with 63.5 million passengers in 2017. It is predicted to cross 80 million in 2018. It is the only airport to enter into the top 20 Asia busiest airport. There are three runways at IGI with flight movement from 76 to 96 per hour. India receives 122 million domestic and 47 million international passengers. Circular runway concept is the concept which had been in considerations for a long time. This concept offers a large number of facilities and new airport managing system. There is a runway which is constructed in form of the circle consisting of segments. This concept will be applied on the existing airports in India and feasibility will be determined. This will help in forming a new basis for construction of an airport. It is going to help the country both economically and financially. If feasible it will solve problems which are currently being faced in all over India like bad baggage handling at Chennai airport, flight delay due to the busy runway, the single airport in Delhi (Delhi being the large passenger junction) etc. The circular runway will provide high air traffic movement with more aircraft movement per hour. In this paper, we are going to design two Circular Runway for existing airport and check the feasibility of construction of the new runway in India.
