Highly accurate DAS for detecting speed limit signs

Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) are the systems to help the driver in the driving process. This work checks the road in front of a vehicle and detects speed limit sign. Highly reliable and accurate classification is done through three main phases named acquisition, detection, and recognition. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technique is used in this algorithm to recognize traffic sign templates. This proposed system results in more accuracy over existing DAS. The capacities and vigor of the proposed system are tried against various situations.

Maternal parenting quality: It’s effect on infant mental health

Early years of life are highly influenced by the quality of relationships with parents, which have a lasting impression on future mental health. The parenting quality of infants those who were ‘normal/ at low risk’ and those who were ‘at risk’ and its effect on the mental health of infants was studied on a sample of 97 mother-infant dyads from rural and urban Dharwad, Karnataka, India. The parent-child interactions during play (with available play materials) were videotaped for 12-15 minutes duration at their home. The parenting quality was assessed using Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale by Comfort and Gordon (2006) which measures three constructs of parenting viz. building relationships, promoting learning and supporting confidence. The mental health of infants was measured using Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Socio-emotional by Squires et.al (2002) and the socioeconomic status (SES) was measured using SES Scale developed by Agarwal et.al (2005). The results revealed that the mothers of infants at ‘low risk’ were high on parenting quality. Child characteristics such as age and ordinal position, maternal characteristics such as age, education, occupation and age at marriage significantly predicted the infant mental health (37%). The maternal parenting quality alone predicted infant mental health (5%) which was in-turn correlated to maternal age, education, occupation, and SES. Hence there is a great need to provide intervention to mothers of infants who are ‘at risk’ and also to those mothers who are low on parenting quality so that the future generation blooms without any stressors that can damage the infant mental health.

Study of different microstrip patch antenna and their feeding schemes

Today’s in a modern communication system the most widely used antenna is the microstrip patch antenna which is used due to its advantages like the small size, low- cost and less weight. The patch antenna can be excited by different feeding techniques such as contacting and nom- contacting. In contacting scheme, the signal is fed directly to the patch whereas in non –contacting method signal is fed by using electromagnetic field coupling. In this review paper a survey has been conducted on different types of microstrip antenna namely Patch antenna, Dipole antenna, Printed slot antenna, traveling wave antenna and feeding techniques used in Microstrip Patch Antenna (MPA). Antennas like the single band, dual band, multiband and wideband have been studied along with their parameters like gain, return loss, radiation pattern and their bandwidth.

Mechanical characterization of Al-Fe composite

Aluminum MMCs are preferred to other conventional materials in the fields of aerospace, automotive and marine applications owing to their improved properties like high strength to weight ratio, good wear resistance etc. In the present work, an attempt has been made to synthesize metal matrix composite using Al6061 as matrix material reinforced with ceramic Fe3O4 particulates using liquid metallurgy route in particular stir casting technique. Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with Iron oxide particles gives superior mechanical properties. And are used in several demanding fields like automobile, aerospace, defense, sports, electronics, biomedical and other industrial purposes. Various manufacturing processes e.g. stir casting, ultra-sonic assisted casting, compo-casting, powder metallurgy, liquid infiltration are being utilized for the production of the aluminum matrix composites. These composite materials possess improved physical and mechanical properties.

Fraud action and countermeasures in cloud

Cloud offers a very efficient computing platform that makes their customers work better in different levels of tasks. Cloud offers the variety of services such as software, application, infrastructure, and storage. In the last few years, the number of people using these services has increased more and lots of information has been stored in the cloud. At the same time, many attacks related to the cloud has also increased due to attackers trying to exploit the security vulnerabilities. Managing the cloud without any attacks is one of the important aspects and knowing the countermeasure to handle each attack is necessary to everyone who is utilizing the cloud service.

To study effect of Maitland mobilization and conventional treatment on management of tennis elbow

Lateral epicondylitis is one of the commonest musculoskeletal conditions. The etiology of lateral epicondylitis is poorly understood. In spite of long duration for treatment protocol recurrence rate is common. Objective: The present study was undertaken to compare the effect of Maitland mobilization and conservative treatment in lateral epicondylitis. Method: 60 subjects diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were included in the study. Functional status of patient was evaluated using upper extremity functional index scale. The data was collected by questionnaire form and was analyzed using SPSS 14.0 and graph pad 6.7 version. Correlation of pain and hand grip was done using Pearson correlation coefficient. Result: 80% of cases were in the age group between 30-40 years and 20% were more than 40 years. 33.33% was males and 66.66% females. The mean pain on was in group A was 3.43 and in group B it was 4.2 by the end of 9 th week. Mean pain free grip strength improved in group A 19.96 as compared to group B 16.36 by end of 9th week. Mean upper extremity functional index showed significant improvement in group A as compared to group B. In occupation wise distribution 33.33% subjects were housewives, 20% were clerks. In hand dominance 91.66% were right-handed and 8.33% were left handed. Conclusion: From the present study it is concluded that Maitland mobilization combined with conservative treatment is effective in management of lateral epicondylitis as compared to only conservative treatment.
