Abstract: This study assessed the effectiveness of opinion leadership strategies used in communicating adaptive climate change information to residents of arid and semi arid areas (ASALs) in Kenya. It sought to achieve this by assessing (1) the knowledge levels on adaptive climate change information among residents of Kenyan ASALs (2) attributes of opinion leaders who communicate adaptive climate change information to residents of Kenyan ASALs and (3) strategies used by opinion leaders to communicate adaptive climate change information to residents of Kenyan ASALs. The study found that adaptive climate change information disseminated by opinion leaders is inadequate, shallow and confusing because it is not crafted in consideration of the unique situations affecting residents of Kenyan ASALs. It concluded that with training and support from communication and research experts, local opinion leaders can enhance access to and use of adaptive climate change information among Kenyan ASAL residents.

Abstract: Data mining extracts valuable knowledge from large amounts of data. It is a powerful new technology to help companies focus on the most important information in their data warehouses. Several issues need to be addressed when mining on data is performed that are bulk at size and geographically distributed at various sites. Privacy preserving data mining has emerged as promising way to mining knowledge from large databases securely. The techniques are classified as: data distribution, data modification, and data mining algorithm, rule hiding and privacy preservation. Our approach is based on heuristics of Association Rule Mining. The techniques involves modifying database to prevent sensitive rules from getting disclosed which leads to information loss of non-sensitive data. We propose an algorithm that hides sensitive item on either side of rule by selective modification of database with minimal information loss. The prime objective is the accuracy of algorithm in terms of rule hiding, ghost rules and missing rules

Abstract: Accurate estimation of state of the charge (SOC) is vital for electric vehicle batteries. This paper presents a novel method to estimate the SOC based on a neural network which can be programed into a low cost microcontroller. The microcontroller monitors the battery voltage and takes four samples immediately after the battery is disconnected from the load and monitors the steady state terminal voltage when the vehicle is parked for more than 30 minutes to train a neural network. Each time the battery is disconnected from the load while driving, the microcontroller takes four voltage samples to estimate the SOC using the previously trained neural network. In order to increase the accuracy, the battery temperature is also taken as an input.

Abstract: Indian Railway is world’s largest human transport system, is currently dealing with a lot of problems, such as availability of confirming seat if available during immediate cancellation / getting down at destination where other waiting list passesnger from that destination can board a train and reach the destination to avoid not allowing the other people who enter the train without buying tickets and then buy tickets from tc, reduce the burden of passenger to carry ticket. However there is no such system that presently in Indian railway gives accommodation to waiting list passengers during their journey and reducing the burden of carrying tickets. This paper proposes the new Seat Allocation system considering the advantage of QR code image that containts information about ticket and passenger info in form of 2d . Moreover, authentication seat allocation checking by tc is done using an another android app for tc which verifies qr code information with the database and reduces the burden of tc. Through this research paper our approach is to make journey of waiting list passengers more convenient in Indian Railway

Abstract: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterised by the presence of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome which is due to the reciprocal translocation, t(9;22)(q34;q11.2). The translocation results in the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, encoding a constitutively active tyrosine kinase protein which causes the genesis of CML. About 5-10% of newly diagnosed Ph-positive CML patients have a variant translocation involving chromosomes 9 and 22, and one or more than one other chromosomes. The objectives of this study are to identify the chromosomes involved, breakpoints and additional chromosomal aberrations in variant Ph translocation. Conventional cytogenetic analysis is performed as a routine diagnostic test for all patients with hematological malignancies in our Cytogenetic Laboratory. Based on cytogenetic findings, 42 newly diagnosed CML patients with variant Ph translocation were selected for this study. Thirty nine patients (93%) had simple variant translocation and three patients (7%), complex variant translocation. Besides chromosomes 9 and 22, a total of 16 different chromosomes were involved in variant Ph translocation. The most frequently involved chromosomes were chromosomes 1 and 11. A total of 34 breakpoints were identified. Additional chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomies, translocations, and deletions were also observed. This shows that variant Ph translocations are very heterogeneous at the genetics level, with the involvement of different chromosomes and a diversity of breakpoints.

Abstract: Automated Teller Machine (ATM) has been convenient approach than ever before for accessing bank’s account from anywhere anytime. Being an electronic telecommunication device, it helps customer to perform transactions/withdraw cash, make deposits & transfer funds by simply touching few buttons on screen without need for a cashier or bank teller. A survey showed that there is no proper security in withdrawing cash from ATM’s. There are no proper authentication methods applied for security during ATM transactions. In this paper, security approaches of ATM have been focused on, and has been improved using biometric based authentication technique i.e. , face recognition from 3 angles. One of the main motive is to diminish and tranquillize the effects of attacks to ATM by use of biometrics. The end result is strengthened biometric ATM system that will be a defending approach in coming year and will escalate the confidence of customer’s in banking sector.

Abstract: Increased noise level with the technological advancement becomes a serious problem in the textile industry and it has become a crucial occupational hazard to its workers. Maximum noise level of some textile machines is as high as 95dB and locating many machines inside a single room causes to increase the cumulative noise level by at least 5dB beyond maximum noise level of a machine. So the noise level inside a textile factory is well above the limits specified by NIOSH and it amounts to be hazardous. This article analyzes the quality of noise and its distribution inside the factory. A mathematical model is developed to predict the noise distribution pattern and the model is validated with the noise data gathered following the standard methods. Economically viable noise control panels are designed and carry out a pilot implementation in order to prove the effectiveness of the noise control method experimentally. Further, authors present the potential applications of the proposed design and evaluate its usefulness.

Abstract: This article considers a continuous review retrial inventory system at a service facility, wherein an item demanded by a customer is issued after performing service on the item. The arrival time points of customers form a Poisson process. The inventory replenished according to an policy and the lead times are assumed to follow an exponential distribution. The demands that occur during the stock out period or the server busy (regular or working vacation) are permitted to enter into the orbit of infinite size. When the inventory level is zero or no demands in the system or both, server goes to a working vacation which is exponentially distributed.

Abstract: This paper deals with a DFIG model employing nine switches AC/AC converter. As compared to the conventional DFIG employing Back to Back power converter the nine switch converter requires fewer switches and gate drive circuits. Therefore proposed topology results in reduction of installation area and cost. The nine switch converter DFIG is applied to the wind turbine and integrated with the grid. The results reveal that even though change in wind speed occurred, the generator terminal voltage and frequency remain same. The generator output power follows the wind speed and delivers the more power to the grid.

Abstract: Insulin resistance is characterized by a subnormal response to a given concentration of insulin and can be measured indirectly by a fasting insulin level. The prevalence of diabetes continues to grow worldwide, disease-related morbidity and mortality is emerging as major healthcare problems. Clearly, type 2 diabetes has a strong genetic component. Diabetic–nephropathy is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in US and a leading cause of diabetes mellitus related morbidity and mortality. Nephropathy complicates approximately 30% of type 2 diabetic patients. However no study has been performed that compared the HbA1c in type II diabetes mellitus with nephropathy to without nephropathy. Therefore aim of this study was to evaluate the glycosylated hemoglobin and their association with diabetic nephropathy in a western Uttar Pradesh.

Abstract: Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is one of the most important fields for development of wireless network. A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous collection of mobile devices like laptops, mobiles, sensors, etc. MANET is an emerging technology and have great strength to be applied in critical situations in military battlefields and commercial applications such as building traffic system, MANET is infrastructure less, with no any centralized controller exist. So one of the major challenges wireless mobile ad-hoc networks face today is security, because no central controller exists. There are many security attacks in MANET and DDOS (Distributed denial of service) is one important attack in MANET.

Abstract: A high proportion of women in both industrialized and developing countries become anaemic during pregnancy. Estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) report that from 35% to 75% of pregnant women in developing countries and 18% of women from industrialized countries are anaemic (2). Many of these women were already anaemic at the time of conception, with an estimated prevalence of anaemia of 43% in non pregnant women in developing countries and of 12% in women in wealthier regions (2). The prevalence of iron deficiency is far greater than the prevalence of anaemia and iron deficiency. In pregnancy, anaemia has a significant impact on the health status of both mother and fetus. Nutritional anaemia is the most widespread nutritional disorder in the world affecting 30 percent world population. It is more common among the expectant mothers. According to Agarwal, maternal anaemia resulted in 12 to 28 percent of fetal loss, 30 percent of perinatal and 7 to 10 percent of neonatal deaths (2). The remaining births have about 50% chance resulting in a low birth weight.

Abstract: With the great increase in the usage of computer networks, the risk of having these network to be under attacks have been increased. Number of techniques have been created and designed to help in detecting and/or preventing such attacks. One common technique is the use of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Today, number of open sources and commercial IDS are available to match enterprises requirements. However, the performance of these systems is still the main concern. This paper examines perceptions of intrusion detection architecture implementation, resulting from the use of graphics processor. It discusses recent research activities, developments and problems of operating systems security. Some exploratory evidence is presented that shows capabilities of using graphical processors and intrusion detection systems. The focus is on how knowledge experienced throughout the graphics processor inclusion has played out in the design of intrusion detection architecture.

Abstract: This study was conducted to find out the effective induction method of tetraploid plants to obtain potential data for cultivating superior varieties by colchicine treatment. The seed germination was decreased by the higher concentration of colchicine treatment and longer soaking time. A total of 907 individuals were germinated in 16 treated plots except control (untreated plot) and 28 tetraploids were induced which was about 3.1% of the number of seed germinated. The plant regeneration rate by colchicine treatment on explant of Prunella vulgaris for. albiflora Nakai under in vitro culture was decreased with the higher concentration of colchicine. While a total of 312 individuals were regenerated in all treatments, the explant was soaked in more than 0.05% for over 1 hour, tetraploid could be obtained. In particular, for the soaking treatment in 0.05% for 6 hours and 12 hours, 37 tetraploids were induced, which was about 57.8% of the number of plant regenerated

Abstract: Water-logging is one of the major environmental problems and challenges of socio-economic development in the south-western part of Bangladesh. In this research paper, Jessore district of Khulna division was selected as the study area to detect water-logging and damaged agriculture lands. To carry out this detection, Landsat imageries from 1972, 1989 and 2014 were used. A post classification comparison of change detection was followed to calculate transformation of water and agriculture in the study area. About 32830 hectare lands were extracted as waterlogged areas, which is 13% of the total land. Moreover, agriculture has been decreased while water bodies have upward trend. In this analysis, a multi-regression analysis was performed using Upazila wise water-logged as independent variable and Upazila wise damaged agriculture lands as dependent variable. This result shows a strong correlation between waterlogged and damaged areas, which was 93% at 95% confidence level with P value < 0.5. The overall accuracy assessment for water and agriculture were 92%, 91% and 95% in 1972, 1989 and 2014 respectively.

Abstract: Excess of copper in drinking water is significantly toxic to human being and ecological environments. Various treatment technologies for copper removal from industrial and municipal waste water effluents has been investigated in past. In the present study batch adsorption studies were carried out for adsorption of Cu by using natural cheap agro waste such as Syzygium Cumini L for removal of copper from aqueous solution. The effects of initial metal concentration, Dose, pH, contact time on the removal on Cu have been studied. Results indicate that contact time of 360 min is sufficient to achieve equilibrium at different concentrations. Determination of Cu was done using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The peak percentage adsorption of Cu was attained at pH 7.0.Adsorption parameters were determined using both Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms, but the experimental data were better fitted to Langmuir equation than to Freundlich and Temkin equation.

Abstract: Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is known to be a serious pathogen on many crops of economic importance. This pathogen is the major constraint in successful cultivation of most of the cash crops in Barak Valley. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the potential of six systemic fungicides (i.e. Propiconazole 25% EC, Hexaconazole 5% EC, Mycobutanil 10% WP, Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP, Tebuconazole 25.9 m/m EC & Carbendazim 50%WP); three non-systemic fungicides(i.e. Captaf, Mancozeb 75%WP & Copper oxychloride) and three combo fungicides(i.e. Metalaxyl 8% +Mancozeb 64% , Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% & Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5%). These fungicides were evaluated at different concentrations (i.e. 1, 10, 50 and 100 ppm), except copper-oxychloreide (contact) at 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 1.00% on the growth of Sclerotium rolfsii in Potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium using poisoned food technique, in vitro. The result shows that the effect of hexaconazole (systemic) has been highly effective in suppressing radial expansion as well as percent inhibition of the fungus at all the concentrations used followed by Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5%(combo Fungicide) and tebuconazole (systemic). The results suggest that some of these fungicides may be tried against S. rolfsii in susceptible crop plants (i.e. brinjal) under field condition.

Abstract: Sensor networks are quite different from traditional networks in different ways: sensor networks have severe energy concerns, redundant low-rate data, and many-to-one flows. Routing protocols developed for other adhoc networks cannot be applied directly in WSN because of the energy constraint of the sensor nodes. Data-centric technologies are needed to perform in-network aggregation of data to yield energy-efficient dissemination. Sensor networks are used in many applications like environment monitoring, health, industrial control units, military applications and in the various computing environments. Since sensor the entire sensor node are battery powered devices, energy consumption of nodes during transmission or reception of packets affects the life-time of the entire network. In this paper we model data-centric routing and compare its performance with traditional end-to-end routing schemes.

Abstract: E-readiness of governments has become a vital policy tool for all countries since it enhances the trust of the citizens through applying the principles of good governance. Recently, e-readiness is becoming more accepted at the level of governments, organizations and citizens especially in the growing global open market. However, e-readiness has turned into a core feature of the international socio-economic development due to its ability to transform the society including the movement from traditional relations to more modern ways of thinking or dealing with health, education and production. This paper presents the different international organizations that have developed a variety of e-readiness models to participate in the global digital economy at the level of e-commerce, e-government and general ICT diffusion. Moreover, the paper provides classifications of the assessment models of e-readiness as e-economy and e-society assessment tools, the methods of quantitative and qualitative pictures and finally the area of focus whether it is macro or micro. In line with this, governments should prepare inventive and realistic e-government projects as providing online services. Thus, such assessment tools are fundamental to achieve substantial progress at the level of e-government, e-commerce, e-education, e-health and e-science that constitute the information society.

Abstract: In thoracoscopy, there is a requirement for provision of adequate space to identify the anatomy and instrumentation for dissection. To obtain space lung is collapsed and the collapsed lung has to be retracted away from the field of dissection. This could be done with retractors which will need additional ports and assistants. Some of the procedures are traditionally being done as lateral decubitus position. We have used supine or prone positioning for the lung to fall away from the surgical field. Supine position for anterior and superior mediastinal procedures and prone position for posterior medistinal procedures were used. The use of gravity to retract lung by positioning provided space, which is a major requirement for the success and safety of the surgery. There were no derangements observed in the physiological stability in supine or prone positions.

Abstract: A few decades ago, usage of computer was so tough and complicated that none but scientists could use it. But now with the passage of time and to cope with the demand of our every sphere of life, usage of computer has become so easy that everyone can use it. At present, mouse or keyboard is being used to interact with the computer. But sometimes it seems uncomfortable because people don’t want to get off from where they are sitting or lying. This paper proposed a technique for man-machine interaction which is based on gesture recognition using openCV technology which provides basic data structures for image processing with most favorable efficiency [1]. A hand image is taken as input to detect the hand easily in this system. In this paper, all the hand gesture images are captured from a single web camera. The proposed algorithm also helps to locate the palm and fingertip in hand gesture.

Abstract: India has used its own potentials and capabilities in terms of culture, religion, economy and politics since Indu-Nimna civilization as means of its soft power. Even though India has successfully applied its soft power within the region; she has not successfully extent its power beyond the region to encompass other states in the world. On the other hand the United States of America (USA) has succeeded to embrace the world although they have a more brief history and un-unique history compared with India. In fact, it is obvious that soft power of the United States is being used throughout the world since the independence concurrently with comprehensive understanding of the current phenomena. Therefore, the main intention of this research paper is to investigate reasons and challenges of India being unable to become a hegemonic power in the world. Apart from that, this anticipates to analyze the practice of American soft power as a successful bench mark according to Joseph Nye’s view as a comparative study together with India.

The reason why final year female undergraduates are chosen for the current study is because they are at a period in their career development where they are considering different career routes and are therefore, a potential source of future female entrepreneurs. For research design; cross-sectional, descriptive and inferential designs study were used in the study. In the study both primary and secondary data were used. Pertaining to data analysis the researchers had used both qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques mainly descriptive analysis using percentages, tables and graphs deployed. While for inferential statistics like distribution based analysis for nominal data type, chi-square, and multi-regeration were used to test the statistically significant difference (independency) of variables, impacts of independent variables on dependent variable.

Abstract: The multi-hop routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) offers little protection against identity deception through replaying routing information. An adversary can exploit this defect to launch various harmful or even devastating attacks against the routing protocols, including sinkhole attacks, wormhole attacks and Sybil attacks. Traditional cryptographic techniques or efforts at developing trust-aware routing protocols do not effectively address this severe problem. To secure the WSNs against adversaries misdirecting the multi-hop routing, we have design and implemented TARF, a robust trust-aware routing framework for dynamic WSNs.TARF provides trustworthy and energy-efficient route. Most importantly, TARF proves effective against those harmful attacks developed out of identity deception; the resilience of TARF is verified through extensive evaluation with both simulation and empirical experiments on large-scale WSNs under various scenarios including mobile and RF-shielding network conditions.

Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of nine weeks resistance training program on selected physical fitness variables of Basketball players. For this purpose twenty female basketball players from Delhi University were selected to act as subjects for the study, the age of the subjects ranged from 17 to 21 years. The minimum level of participation was Inter-University. The subjects were further divided into two groups i.e. Control and Experimental group, group-I underwent resistance training and group-II acted as control and continued with their regular physical activity. The training period for the study was three days in a week for nine weeks. Pre data of both the groups were taken prior to the training period; the subjects were tested for speed, back strength and abdominal strength. The dependent’s` test and analysis of covariance was applied as statistical tool. In all cases 0.05 level was fixed as significance. It was concluded from the results of the study that training groups had improved on back strength, and had no significant improvement on the speed and abdominal strength.

Abstract: Biological waste water are characterized by the exposure of microorganism to transient conditions, where biomass is submitted to alternating periods of high and low substrate concentration and aerobic and anaerobic environments which make some microorganisms respond the production of polymers and various biochemical agents. Bacteria utilize siderophores to help the process of ferric iron uptake in environment. This process can found across three domains and is necessary for microorganisms to obtain iron needed for essential process. The present investigations were undertaken to check the siderphore producing activity of bacteria which produces polymer. A total of 640 bacteria were isolated from waste water pond. Among them 198 bacterial strains showing polymer production wee isolated. Out of which 12 potential strains were selected and investigated for siderphore activity. The result showed that out of 12 bacteria some of them showed siderophore activity.

Abstract: In the present investigation research work is based on development of Al 6063 base hybrid metal matrix composite reinforced with 10 weight percentage of Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3), and varying weight percentage of Molybdenum disulphide (i.e. 3%, 5%, 7% & 9%). The composite was prepared by using stir casting technique. The density of Al 6063/ MoS2/ Al2O3 were increasing when reinforcement of MoS2 increases from 3% to 9%. The Ultimate Tensile Strength decreasing due to the additions of 3% to 9% of MoS2 and also reinforced with alumina (Al2O3) into the base matrix. It was seen that while the Al 6063 alloys shows the pre- dominantly ductile fracture (base matrix). The composite specimens (with a MoS2 addition) show an increase in the mixed mode (ductile and brittle regions). Investigation also predicts that hardness increases due to varying addition of MoS2. Micrographs of the composite specimen are taken for the study of particular or overall behavior of the material.
