The Compliance of Temporary Soft Lining Materials-An in vivo & vitro study
      Dr. N.Shanmuganathan, Dr.T.V.Padamanabhan, Dr.R.Subramaniam, Dr.S.Madhankumar

Abstract: Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in clinical compliance of the three selected soft lining materials during use (in vivo) and also to analyze the leached out component during use. (In vitro)
Methods and materials: Three soft-liner materials (Visco-gel, Coe-soft, GC Soft liner) were studied. Three circular depressions were made on the intaglio surface of the posterior palatal seal region, and they were filled with the three selected soft lining material and marked as A, B, C. Modified penetrometer was used to test the clinical compliance of the material over a period of 2 hrs, 24 hrs, 1 week and 4 weeks after the denture was inserted. An in vitro study was conducted to find out the leachable components, both qualitatively and quantitatively with the use of high performance liquid chromatography and the clinical findings were correlated.
Results: Paired t-test was applied to analyze the data. It was found that compliance of Visco-gel reduced the most in the 1st week which was followed by GC Soft liner over a period of 4 weeks followed by Coe Soft. In vitro study revealed that initial loss of ethanol was shown by HPLC test which caused the reduction in compliance.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that physical property of the materials mainly depend on the type of plasticizer used and not ethanol that is present in most of the tissue conditioners. It could also be inferred that the use of plasticizer with large molecular size like benzyl salicylate, would preserve the physical property of the material over a longer period of time.

Online Shopping and the Transaction Protection in E-Commerce: A case Of Online Purchasing in Libya.
      Abdulghader.A.Ahmed, Hadya.S.Hawedi

Abstract: E-commerce is a successful business-based innovation via internet. This form of business transaction strategy offers many opportunities for growth in business and marketing services in various aspects. Online shopping is an intermediary mode between marketers or sellers to the end user or the consumers. Nature of online transaction in Libya is constrained by instability resulting from insecurity, unprotected transaction as well as trust. Online shopping could become predominant source of shopping method, if the barriers associated with insecurity, trust and customer's protection are tackled. Owing to the significance of e-commerce towards Libyan economic growth, this paper highlights the limitations associated with e-commerce transaction in Libya and proposes relevant steps towards overcoming these constrains.

SPACE AND TIME, MASS AND ENERGY ACCENTUATION DISSIPATION MODELS
      DR K N PRASANNA KUMAR, PROF B S KIRANAGI AND PROF C S BAGEWADI

Abstract: A system of space-time continuum and parallel system of space that contribute to the dissipation of the velocity of production of space is investigated. It is shown that the time independence of the contributions portrays another system by itself and constitutes the equilibrium solution of the original time independent system. With the methodology revitalized and rejuvenated with the explanations, we write the governing equations with the nomenclature for the systems in the foregoing, including those of energy- mass system. An alternate explanation is provided for the mass energy equivalence which shall be dealt copiously in another paper. On one hand models act as a determinate a priori, they also act as a bastion and pillar and post for a differential a posteori in coming papers which would incorporate more number of equations attributable and ascribable for the process of concatenation. A Grand Unified Theory of these four important variables in quantum mechanics and classical mechanics is proposed and the equations are given in the annexure. These can be solved based on the same methodology of the present paper. Various permutational and combinational possibilities are also discussed.

      Tanasorn Tunsaringkarn, Wattasit Siriwong, Tassanee Prueksasit, Saowanee Sematong, Kalaya Zapuang, Anusorn Rungsiyothin

Abstract: Assessment of exposures of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde that related to urinary biomarkers among office and gasoline station workers was conducted. Our results revealed that the evaluation of ambient air formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in official were significantly higher than in gasoline stations; 28.72 to 11.31 μg m-3 and 7.85 to 3.34 μg m-3 respectively (independence t-test, p<0.01). The sum average lifetime cancer risk of official and gasoline stations workers exposure to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were determined as the values of 2.51E-05 and 1.30E-05, which were higher than an acceptable criteria defined as 1.00 x 10-6. For non-cancer health effects, sum of the hazard quotients (hazard index, HI) of exposures to these two substances in office and gasoline station workers were found at the ratio of 0.40 and 0.21. Both HIs were lower than minimal level which indicated that there is no risk of other health effects. Ambient air formaldehyde was strongly and significantly correlated to ambient air acetaldehyde (r=0.907, p<0.01) as well as urinary formaldehyde was significantly correlated to urinary acetaldehyde (r=0.498, p<0.01). Urinary formaldehyde did not show correlation to ambient air formaldehyde but urinary acetaldehyde was significantly correlated to ambient air acetaldehyde (r=0.429, p<0.01). In addition, urinary formic acid was not related to any exposures. Results of this study supported that urinary acetaldehyde may be used as biomarkers for bio-monitoring in human exposures.

Tamil Speech Recognition using Semi Continuous Models
      Hanitha Gnanathesigar

Abstract: In this paper novel approach for implementing Tamil Language Semi continuous speech recognition based on Hidden Markov Models is discussed. Tamil and other Indian languages share phonological features which are rich in vowel and consonant realizations. The same phone in different words has different realizations. This can be overcome by employing phone-in-context. Therefore triphone models were chosen as suitable sub-word units for acoustic training. The system is trained with speech corpus of 37 Tamil phones. Speech corpus consisted of 0.35 hours of speech. Training was done using Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)'s SphinxTrain acoustic model Trainer. Accuracy of the training is measured by decoding using PocketSphinx.

Design and Implementation of Cipher Algorithm using Randomized Alphanumeric Characters
      Sudhakar Kumar Singh

Abstract: Cryptography is the technique that is used to ensure the safety of communication over the network in most of the computer communication systems. The strength of a cryptographic algorithm is based on the difficulty of cryptanalysis imposed over system. Our proposed Algorithm provides the best security analysis, in terms of computational time and effective environment over the network. As we are aware of the security of communication has attracted the attention towards the design of new Algorithm. It is a combination of some of the best known encryption algorithms in existence. Here, we apply the concept of RAC (Randomized Alphanumeric Characters) proceeding with some computation to reach the goal of cipher text. The algorithm that we are proposing in our work is the resultant of some existing algorithms that uses the strengths of one algorithm to compensate the weakness of other by applying RAC as well as applying a technique which is similar to Bit-Stuffing.

      Yasmeen Khan and Nelofar Khan

Abstract: This paper discusses the results of an analysis on community based cross sectional study of infant growth faltering and feeding practices in three regions of Jammu Kashmir and ladakh for which data has been collected during 2004-2006 and compiled in March 2007.results indicate a statistically significant positive association between malnutrition and feeding practices. Feeding practices in all the three regions studied were not as per internationally accepted recommendations. Around 66% of mothers gave pre-lacteal feeds, most common being sugar water, honey, plain water, artificial milk and Jaggery. Pre-lacteal feeding was common in Jammu and Kashmir regions but was not very common in Ladakh. In all the three regions, as the age of the studied children advanced from 0 to 2 years, the prevalence rate of malnutrition exhibited a parallel increase. This pattern was observed in higher frequency among infants from middle and lower income groups. Chronic malnutrition evidenced by stunting with insignificant inter-regional differences (P>0.01) was observed in 14.1%, 17.2% and 16.8% of the children in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Current malnutrition was more prominent in Kashmir as 29.3% children were underweight as against 16.2% in Jammu and 15.8% in Ladakh (p< 0.01). Acute malnutrition also showed significant inter-regional difference (P<0.05). Highest frequency of wasted children was recorded in Kashmir as 14.4%, followed by 12.1% from Jammu while in Ladakh only 6.9% of children were found to be wasted.

      Kishore K. Das, Bhanita Das and Bhupen K. Baruah

Abstract: A study on bivariate and trivariate weighted inverse Gaussian distribution (WIGD) using a specific concept of pseudo distribution has been attempted in this paper. Product moment of bivariate pseudo WIGD has been obtained. Distribution of r-th concomitant of order statistics for the resulting distribution has been obtained with some ordering properties. An extension to bivariate concomitant for trivariate pseudo WIGD also has been discussed. Concomitant of second order upper record statistics and joint distribution of second and fourth order concomitant of upper record statistics for bivariate pseudo WIGD have been studied along with their properties. Numerical values of survival functions have been computed for comparison of concomitant of order statistics and record statistics. This study reveals that for both concomitant of order statistics and concomitant of second order upper record statistics for WIGD survival probability decreases as time increases for fixed values of the parameters and it increases for increasing value of shape parameter holding time and scale parameter as fixed.

      Ravindra Singh Rana, Rajesh Purohit, Alok Singh

Abstract: The function of the governor is to maintain the speed of an engine within specified limits whenever there is a variation of load. It is a dynamic device done in the field of manufacturing technology. It's rather inexpensive and can be used in almost all vehicles. The objective our investigation to identify the stress concentration areas, areas which are most susceptible to failure when governor is rotating about its axis, also the value of these stresses is measured. Analysis is carried out with the help of PRO E. The displacement of the various elements of the SPINDLE from the base is also calculated using PRO E and the graphs are plotted. Different materials for different parts are used that are theoretically justified. Effect of the "WEIGHT OF THE ARMS is the major area of concern for our study and all the calculations are done by keeping in mind the weight of the arms. When the weight of the arms are considered then this weight acts on the centroid of the arms and when the governor assembly rotates, centrifugal force starts acting on the centroid of the arms and tends to deflect the arms, this deflection or bending is to be minimized. In our work, we have done the analysis on a particular configuration of governor assembly and then various materials are suggested on a theoretical basis.

Reviews on the Influences of Alloying elements on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Alloys and Aluminum Alloy Composites
      R. S. Rana, Rajesh Purohit, and S Das

Abstract: In recent year's aluminum and aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive industries. These are light weight (density of about 2.7g/cc),having good malleability and formability, high corrosion resistance and high electrical and thermal conductivity. High machinability and workability of aluminum alloys are prone to porosity due to gases dissolved during melting processes. However, in the engineering application pure aluminum and its alloys still have some problems such as relatively low strength, unstable mechanical properties. The microstructure can be modified and mechanical properties can be improved by alloying, cold working and heat treatment in this regards, this paper reports the influences of some alloying elements on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Aluminum alloys and aluminum alloy composites.

Complex Dynamics in a Mathematical Model of Tumor Growth with Time Delays in the Cell Proliferation
      M. Saleem and Tanuja Agrawal

Abstract: In this paper, a simple prey-predator type model for the growth of tumor with discrete time delay in the immune system is considered. It is assumed that the resting and hunting cells make the immune system. The present model allows delay effects in the growth process of the hunting cells. Qualitative and numerical analyses for the stability of equilibriums of the model are presented. Length of the time delay that preserves stability is given. It is found that small delays guarantee stability at the equilibrium level (stable focus) but the delays greater than a critical value may produce periodic solutions through Hopf bifurcation and larger delays may even lead to chaotic attractors. Implications of these results are discussed.

A Model Approach to Off-line English Character Recognition
      Binod Kumar Prasad, Goutam Sanyal

Abstract: Recognition rate of handwritten character is still limited due to presence of large variation of shape, scale and format in hand written characters. A sophisticated hand written character recognition system demands a better feature extraction technique that would take care of such variation of hand writing. In this paper, we propose a recognition model based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) supported by novel feature extraction technique. Ultimately post-processing is done to enhance the recognition rate further. A data-base of 13000 samples is collected from 100 writers written five times for each character. 2600 samples have been used to train HMM and the rest are used to test recognition model. Using our proposed recognition system we have achieved a good average recognition rate of about 93.24 percent.

Design of Efficient XTEA Using Verilog
      Shweta Gaba, Iti Aggarwal, Dr. Sujata Pandey

Abstract: In this age of viruses and hackers of electronic eavesdropping and electronic fraud, security is paramount. A cryptographic system ( or a cipher system) is a method of hiding data so that only certain people can view it. A cryptographic system typically consists of algorithms, keys, and key management facilities. There are several algorithms to choose from that vary in the security they provide, their size, the time it takes to encrypt or decrypt a block of data. In this paper, we analyze and evaluate the development of a cheap and relatively fast hardware implementation of the extended tiny encryption algorithm (XTEA). Originally the research was split into separate encipher/decipher units, but these have now been combined into a single unit. The design will start by using finite state machine (FSMs) and will use Verilog hardware description language to describe the design. Minimizing the chip area and security transmission of data will be our main goal. The targeted hardware systems are the reconfigurable Spartan III and Xilinx Virtex IV modern field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

Next Generation of Internet Protocol for TCP/IP Protocol Suite
      Miss. Soni Samprati

Abstract: The Internet has instantly evolved into a vast global network in the growing techonology.TCP/IP protocol is the basic requirement for the recent time Internet .In TCP/IP proposed a security enhancement. This enhancement adds three modules. These are Security Policy, security control and data link layer. Security policy belongs to application layer, Security control is management located in the transport layer and Data security layer located between transport layer and IP layer. Security policy interacts with the system administrator for defining policies and roles of security to be applied in the data communications. Security control module provides the means to apply security policy module and established security channels. It usage four way handshaking and public key cryptography (PKC) to create virtual secure connection and secret key cryptography (SKC). Data security layer proposed Thin security over IP protocol. Thin security protocol encrypt and encapsulated the coming transport layer packet into TSP packets. Internet usage continues to increase exponentially. So network security becomes a growing problem. Even though IPv6 comes with build mechanism IPSec for security, it lacks security in application layer of TCP/IP protocol suite.IPv6 solves most of the security breaches for IPv4 with the use of IPSec but IPSec does not have any security provision in application layer and for security purpose there is a need for security mechanism. Here in TCP/IP architecture includes a layer called Security Layer, which guarantees security to provide Application layer using a protocol Application Layer Security Protocol.

      Yogesh Tayal, Ruchika Lamba, Subhransu Padhee

Abstract: Because of the increasing instances of identity theft and terrorism incidences in past few years, biometrics based security system has been an area of quality research. Modern day biometrics is a cutting edge technology which enables the automated system to distinguish between a genuine person and an imposter. Automated face recognition is one of the areas of biometrics which is widely used because of the uniqueness of one human face to other human face. Automated face recognition has basically two parts one is face detection and other one is recognition of detected faces. To detect a face from an online surveillance system or an offline image, the main component that should be detected is the skin areas. This paper proposes a skin based segmentation algorithm for face detection in color images with detection of multiple faces and skin regions. Skin color has proven to be a useful and robust cue for face detection, localization and tracking.

Live Migration of Virtual Machines in Cloud
      Ashima Agarwal, Shangruff Raina

Abstract: Migration of a virtual machine is simply moving the VM running on a physical machine (source node) to another physical machine (target node). It is done as, while the VM is running on the source node, and without disrupting any active network connections, even after the VM is moved to the target node. It is considered "live, since the original VM is running, while the migration is in progress. Huge benefit of doing the live migration is the very small (almost zero) downtime in the order of milliseconds. There exists a model in which the load is balanced among the servers according to their processor usage or their IO usage and keeping virtual machines zero downtime. To increase the throughput of the system, it is necessary that the virtual machines are load balanced statically, i.e. the load is distributed to each part of the system in proportion to their computing IO capacity.

Fate of Metals in Fish under Variable Sewage Input in Fish Ponds
      Paulami Maiti and Samir Banerjee

Abstract: Use of raw sewage in aquaculture spelling prosperity to farmers is actually a veritable threat to the environment. Metal contaminated fish grown in the sewage-fed East Kolkata Wetlands, is potentially hazardous for the consumers. Alarmed by the increase of these persistent elements, an in-depth study was carried out to find out a possible way to reduce metal body burden in fish. The first part of the study deals with the quantitative analyses of metals in several species of fish reared in the sewage fed system. In the second part, sewage input in the ponds was temporarily stopped for six months that helped us to understand the depuration pattern of the accumulated metals from fish tissues. It was observed that, copper accumulates maximally with age in the fish liver especially in the benthic species such as Cirrhinus mrigala and Oreochromis nilitica. However, its depuration rate from the organ is low. After six months, the metal is completely excreted from muscle, skin, gills and kidney. Gills of Catla catla accumulate excess of zinc. Lead and zinc show size dependent increase in muscle, liver, kidney, skin and gills of fish but are steadily depurated in the relatively uncontaminated system. The rate of cadmium uptake and release is extremely low in fish.

A Carrier Based Compact Model for Long Channel Undoped and Doped Body Symmetric Double Gate MOSFETS
      Neha Goel, Dr.Vandana Nath

Abstract: Double gate MOSFET is widely used for sub-50nm technology of transistor design .They have immunity to short channel effects, reduced leakage current and high scaling potential. The single gate Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices give improved circuit speed and power consumption .But as the transistor size is reduced the close proximity between source and drain reduces the ability of the gate electrode to control the flow of current and potential distribution in the channel. To reduce SCE we need increase gate to channel coupling with respect to source/drain to channel coupling. This paper deals with the compact modeling of long channel undoped and doped symmetric double-gate MOSFET. The formulation starts with the solution of Poisson's equation which is then coupled to the Pao-Sah current equation to obtain the analytical drain-current model in terms of carrier concentration. The performance analysis will be done by using the model.

Removal of Multiple Access Interference in DS-CDMA System
      Shrikant J.Honade, Dr. P.V. Ingole

Abstract: Multiple access interference (MAI) is a factor which limits the capacity and performance of DS-CDMA systems. MAI refers to the interference between direct-sequence users. This interference is the result of the random time offsets between signals, which make it impossible to design the code waveforms to be completely orthogonal. While the MAI caused by any one user is generally small, as the number of interferers or their power increases, MAI becomes substantial. The conventional detector does not take into account the existence of MAI. It follows a single-user detection strategy in which each user is detected separately without regard for other users. Because of the interference among users, however, a better detection strategy is one of multi-user detection (also referred to as joint detection or Interference cancelation). Here, information about multiple users is used jointly to better detect each individual user.

Modeling of Liquid-Liquid Extraction in Spray Column Using Artificial Neural Network
      S.L. Pandharipande, Aashish Nagdive, Yogesh Moharkar

Abstract: Liquid-liquid extraction is a process for separating the components of a liquid feed mixture by contacting with a liquid solvent phase. The operation is carried out in spray columns, packed beds, rotating disc contactors & plate columns. The effective rate of mass transfer is dependent upon several factors such as mass transfer coefficient, transfer area and magnitude of driving force applied. Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) is a type of feed forward neural network applied to chemical engineering operations. Present work is aimed at developing ANN models with different topologies for liquid-liquid extraction carried in spray column for a system of acetic acid-water-benzene. The accuracy of the ANN model is dependent upon the number of hidden layers & number of neurons in each hidden layer. Artificial neural network models 1 & 2 are developed for modeling liquid-liquid extraction spray column, correlating mass transfer coefficient & mass transfer rate with flow-rate of extract phase , equilibrium concentration of acetic acid in aqueous phase & height of organic phase in column. The topology of the architecture was different for both the models. Based on results & discussions it can be concluded that both the models are successful in estimating the parameters but because of higher accuracy of estimation for both the training & test data sets ANN model 2 is more suitable. The work is demonstrative and the accuracy of estimation can be improved by altering the topology.

DIEL Variations of Physico-Chemical Factors and Planktonpopulation in a Swamp Of Harda, Purnia, Bihar (India)
      R.SIDDHARTHA, RANJANA KUMARI, K.D.TANTI AND B.N.PANDEY

Abstract: Diel variations of physic- chemical factors and plankton population were investigated in the swamps of Purnia district, Bihar on a seasonal basis, Air and water temperature, pH, DO2 and bicarbonate alkalinity were found to increase during day time which decreased during night hours. The amount of free CO2 was also observed higher during the night period. Water temperature showed a positive correlation with air temperature, pH, DO2 bicarbonate alkalinity and a negative one with free CO2 in most cases. Phytoplankton also showed increased number during day time. Not a very clear-cut pattern of diel variation was observed and this fluctuation was mostly due to photosynthetic activity of producers, respiratory activity of biota and fluctuation in water temperature. A complex interaction of various environmental factors e g., seasons, climate, nutrients, pollution, light hours etc. also play an important role to decide the fate of diel variation of abiotic factors and biotic population.

      Shipra Mathur, Asfiya Zayeem, Srikanth Kanameni, Monica Tibrewal, Nitish Wadhwa, Priti Arora and Archna Kumar

Abstract: Semiochemicals especially their alkane constituents play vital role in governing the foraging behavior of egg parasitoids. Thus in the present study various concentrations of the three straight chain alkanes were prepared to determine the specific concentration(s) optimizing the foraging behavior of Trichogramma brasiliensis Ashmead and Trichogramma chilonis Ishii. Laboratory bioassays were carried out to assess the impact of various concentrations of octacosane, pentacosane and tricosane on the parasitic efficiency of targeted trichogrammatids. T. chilonis was found to exhibit enhanced parasitism for concentrations ranging from 7 000mg/L to 15 000mg/L with maximum at 11 000mg/L for Pentacosane (17.23±0.56) whereas T. brasiliensis exhibited favorable response towards almost all the concentrations of tricosane and pentacosane showing more efficiency at 11 000mg/l (19.44±2.00) and 14 000mg/l(18.89±0.70) respectively. These studies indicate that alkanes can act as semiochemical source and can be exploited to enhance foraging efficiency of egg parasitoids in integrated pest management programs.

Comparative Study of Sign Language Recognition Systems
      Ms. Rashmi D. Kyatanavar, Prof. P. R. Futane

Abstract: Sign Language (SL) is the communication method for deaf people. But these sign languages are not standard & universal. The grammar differs from country to country. As the sign language is the only method for deaf community to communicate with normal people, we need Sign Language Translators (SLT). The basic automatic SLT uses two approaches. First one is using the electronic data gloves. These gloves have inbuilt sensors & it is worn by the signer to detect hand posture. But these gloves are having high cost. So, visual approach is most suitable & widely used. Here a camera is used to capture images of signer & then image processing is carried out to perform recognition. For the vision based Sign Language Recognition (SLR), various methods are available. Three such methods are discussed & compared in this paper.

Age Related Changes in the Parasympathetic Control of the Heart
      Vinutha Shankar MS, Shivakumar Veeraiah

Abstract: Age related impairment in the parasympathetic control of the heart is a causal component for increased risk of cardiovascular diseases like arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death in the elderly. Abnormal heart rate responses as a result of parasympathetic dysfunction have demonstrated altered sympatho vagal modulation of the heart in the elderly. Simple, bedside, non invasive ECG based tests designed by Ewing & Clarke assess parasympathetic function. These are heart rate responses to Deep breathing, Valsalva maneuver and to standing. Parasympathetic function was assessed by the above mentioned cardiovascular autonomic function tests in 60 elderly subjects above 60 years who were further grouped as young old (60-74 yrs) and old old (75-90 yrs). The results thus obtained were compared with young healthy subjects (18-33 yrs) who served as controls to study the effect of aging on the parasympathetic control of heart rate. There was a significant reduction in heat rate responses to Deep breathing, Valsalva maneuver and to standing indicating reduction in parasympathetic function in the elderly above 60 years. There was no significant difference in all the tests of parasympathetic function between the young old and the old old suggesting no further decline in parasympathetic function after 75 years.

      Dr. Aaliya Ahmed

Abstract: In the multi-media world of today, television has emerged as an important instrument of transmission of knowledge and information. Working as a complimentary agent to other sources, television has enhanced the process of change by providing timely information about education, hygiene, health, customs and so on. The purpose of television is to inform, educate and entertain its viewers. Television, because of its predominance of visual movement has the capacity of bringing the world into the living room with great authenticity and efficacy. As a result of this, television has a more profound and persuasive impact on its viewers, particularly women. Women are treated as "special audience groups, so that appropriate measures can be taken to cater to their propensities and inclinations. In this context, problems and issues pertaining to women are shown regularly on television in different programmes. Soap operas are one of the most popular genres on television and as a cultural produce, this format is extremely popular among the masses. Soap-operas, inevitably, have attracted a large and loyal fan base. Soaps enjoy a momentous and immense popularity among the contemporary society and they have found a place for themselves and also allow a multiplicity of interpretations to suit the diverse tastes of the dominant Indian middle class.

Active Device Usage in Filter Design-An Overview
      Sheikh Ajaz Bashir, N.A.Shah

Abstract: Usage of Inductors as passive components in filter design poses a number of problems in terms of non-linearity, losses, large physical size, weight and possibility of their integration at very high frequencies only. Bulky nature of Inductors put a question mark on the foot print of filters designed using them. Microminiaturization of circuits resulted in desire for replacement of Inductors by active elements like Operational Amplifiers which led to the introduction of new class of filters called as active filters. Active filter design has evolved over a period of time. Starting with OP AMPs, we have witnessed phenomenal growth of active component usage in filter design and development catering to varying requirements. This has contributed greatly in emergence of circuits with minimal limitations and advantages in terms of wide Bandwidth and High slew rates. The aim of this paper is to review and compare the functionality of certain novel active blocks. While doing so it will be amply clear that the development of newer active blocks follows a pattern and one combination of blocks leads to a new active element design and the process goes on.

Tracking of Reference Signals by Advanced Unified Power Flow Controller
      K. Manoz Kumar Reddy

Abstract: Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most comprehensive multivariable device among the FACTS controllers. Capability of power flow control is the most important function of UPFC. According to high importance of power flow control in transmission lines, the proper controller should be robust against uncertainty and disturbance and also have suitable settling time. For this purpose, a new controller is designed based on the Lyapunov theory and its stability is also evaluated. The Main goal of this paper is to design a controller which enables a power system to track reference signals precisely and to be robust in the presence of uncertainty of system parameters and disturbances. The performance of the proposed controller is simulated on a two bus test system and compared with a conventional PI controller. Simulations were carried out using MATLAB software to check the performance of UPFC.

Robust Digital Watermarking Using MDKP
      Mr A. Chandra, Ms. T. Kavitha

Abstract: The growth of digitalization of data creates a need for protecting digital content against counterfeiting, piracy and malicious manipulations. Digital water marking is one of the methods of protecting multimedia data. A robust digital watermarking method is proposed in this paper, which has greatest robustness against various attacks and preserves the image quality after water marking. It embeds a watermark into an image in DCT domain. The image is divided into blocks and each block is processed using Multi Dimensional Knapsack Problem (MDKP) and in turn converts to spatial domain. The watermark is extracted from the image and compared with the original image. The measurement of quality of image is also concerned. The proposed scheme exhibits better performance in robust digital watermarking. The experiment is carried using MATLAB 7.x and results are verified.

Impact of Seasonal and Habitat variation on composition of Total Lipid content in Muscle and Liver of Labeo gonius (Ham)
      B.K. Deka, R. Mahanta and U.C. Goswami

Abstract: Fish lipid is regarded as quality lipid being rich in cholesterol, triglyceride and essential fatty acids. The changes in habitat and seasonal variation have a significant impact on the quality and quantity of different components of lipid profile. The present paper reports on the seasonal differences in the quantitative compositions of total lipid of Labeo gonius in lotic and lentic habitats. These nutrients were determined in muscle and liver tissues in four different seasons of the year (pre-monsoon, monsoon, retreating monsoon and winter). In lotic habitat the highest amount of total lipid (301.00 ± 2.73mg/g) was observed in retreating monsoon in the muscle tissue . Similarly in liver tissue the highest amount of total lipid was observed in winter (208.50 ± 1.84mg/g). Though apparently similar trend was observed in lentic habitat, but some amount of differences with higher values were observed in muscle tissue. The present study with comparative analysis of total lipid components reveals a significant impact of habitat and seasonal variation on the nutritional quality of lipid in Labeo gonius.

Retrieving Stream of Video Frames Using Query Processing
      Ramancha Sandhyarani, Shiramshetty Gouthami and Baggani Ratna

Abstract: This paper presents a graph transformation and matching approach to identify the stream of video frames using query processing. With query processing algorithm to retrieve similar frames, the mapping relationship between the query and database video is first represented by a bipartite graph. The densely matched parts along the long sequence are then extracted, followed by a filter-and-refine search strategy to prune some irrelevant subsequences. During the filtering stage, Maximum Size Matching is deployed for each sub graph constructed by the query and candidate subsequence to obtain a smaller set of candidates. During the refinement stage, Sub-Maximum Similarity Matching is applied to identify the subsequence with the highest aggregate score from all candidates, according to a robust video similarity model that includes visual content, temporal order, and frame alignment information. In the filter-and-refine phase, some non similar segments are first filtered; several relevant segments are then processed to quickly identify the most suitable segments.

Screening of phaseolus vulgaris Cultivars Growing in Various Areas of Jammu and Kashmir for Anthracnose Resistance
      Balbir Kour, Gurmeet Kour, Sanjana Kaul, Manoj K. Dhar

Abstract: Phaseolus vulgaris is an economically important crop. The most important disease which hampers its production is anthracnose which is found in almost every bean growing region of the world. Anthracnose in beans is caused by a hemibiotrophic fungus, namely Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Use of resistant genotypes will provide a long lasting solution to the economic losses caused by anthracnose as this method is biologically safe as well as cost effective. For the present investigation, nearly ten C. lindemuthianum isolates collected from Baramulla, Kashmir were used. Inoculum of each isolate was produced by inoculating bean extract medium with a monosporic culture of C. lindemuthianum, incubated at 25°C for seven days, the spore suspension culture filtered through double layered muslin cloth and inoculum load was adjusted to 1.2 X 106 spores per milliliter with the help of a haemocytometer. Seed dip method was used for the inoculation of the test plant. The inoculated seeds were sown in sand and were kept at 25°C for the period of one month. The disease reaction was scored after twelve days of inoculation following 0-5 scale where 0 = no disease; 1 = pin point lesion; 2 = small lesion; 4 = large deep lesion and 5 = sunken lesions with rotten apex. Two broad categories of the accessions emerged; infected (infection rate high or mild) or non-infected. Based on the presence or absence of infected plants accessions were labeled as susceptible or resistant.

Love, Desire, and Theological Issues in Indo-Iranian Myths: A Comparative Introduction
      Abbas Saeedipour

Abstract: In the world of myths anything can happen illogically, or sometime logically. In the tragedy of Prometheus Bound written by Aeschylus, the Greek Prometheus there can steal fire from heavenly gods and give it to the earthly mortal creatures. Tiresias the blind soothsayer, descended from Oudaeus, in the Sophocles' tragedy of Oedipus the King, can predict the future fate of Thebes happening to the people there. Cerci the whore, in the Homer's, can bewitch the bravest and the most powerful Greek heroes. One set of potential human couple Mashya and Mashyana grows like a set of plants out of forty years of processing being under the air, the sun, and the soil. They are metamorphosed and clutched together. There is apparently no specific limit or any fixed and distinguished laws or regulations. Nonetheless, myths have their own logic, seeds, and cluster. The personification of things and forces, of phenomena, as well as abstractions are widely and repeatedly allowed and the composers have freedom and poetic license to manipulate and manufacture their imaginatively made- narratives. Myths have got their own logic, initiation, making process structural mythemes and those of subjectivists' features space- timelessness and settingless danglings.

Abstract: Social systems, and ecosystems, its sustentative limits, singular pauses, logical attributes, real relations, expressional proposition, heterogeneous complications,-has been developed at the forefront of science. Key concepts of this new way of understanding complex systems are theories of chaos, attractors, fractals, dissipative structures, self-organization, and autopoietic networks. The intellectual tradition of systems thinking, and the models of living systems developed during the early decades of the century, forms the conceptual and historical roots of the new scientific framework, current models and theories may be seen as an outline of an emerging theory of living systems. What is now emerging at the forefront of science is a coherent scientific theory that offers, for the first time, a unified view of mind, matter, and life. In the following we give a general theory for three pairs: (a) Terrestrial Organism (b)Oxygen Consumption (c)Dead Organic Matter (d)Decomposer Organisms (e) Green Plants (f) Nutrients. Expediency and contingency of such studies are of imminent nature, in consideration to the fact that ozone layer depletions by aerosols have been at the centre stage and the incorporation of green house effects in the cycle is of utmost importance.

Performance Evaluation of DHT Based multi-path Routing Protocol for MANETs
      Gurmukh Singh, Dr. Savita Gupta, Sukhvir Singh

Abstract: Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) creates a temporary network of mobile nodes. Routing is a major issue in MANETs. Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) has recently proven to be a novel and efficient way for developing scalable routing protocols in MANETs. With the increase in applications of MANETS, the networks have become very complex which leads to channel impairments. Moreover multipath protocols provide fault tolerance against node and link failures. In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of M-DART[4], which is DHT based Multipath protocol against Ad hoc On-Demand Multipath Distance Vector Routing Protocol(AOMDV)[7] ,which is a reactive Multipath protocol. We have conducted various simulation experiments to evaluate its performance in terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio, end to end delay and energy consumption. We have analyzed that M-DART protocol consumes less energy (8.2% than AOMDV. Simulation results also show M-DART has better throughput and Packet Delivery ratio than AOMDV by more than 1.6 times.

Secure Data Hiding Algorithm Using Encrypted Secret message
      Harshitha K M, Dr. P. A. Vijaya

Abstract: In any communication, security is the most important issue in today's world. Lots of data security and data hiding algorithms have been developed in the last decade, which worked as motivation for the research. This project is a combination of steganography and cryptography, which provides a strong backbone for its security. The scenario of present day of information security system includes confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, non-repudiation. This present work focus is enlightening the technique to secure data or message with authenticity and integrity.In this project work, the secret message is encrypted before the actual embedding process starts. The entire work has done in MATLAB. The hidden message is encrypted using a simple encryption algorithm using secret key and hence it will be almost impossible for the intruder to unhide the actual secret message from the embedded cover file without knowing secret key.Only receiver and sender know the secret key.N-bit LSB substitution technique is used as embedding and extraction method . We propose that this method could be most appropriate for hiding any secret message (text,image ,audio,video) in any standard cover media such as image, audio, video files.

Prequalification Science Practical Activities for the Production of Effective Science Teachers: a Strategy for Sustainable National Development
      Jamil Mikhail Y

Abstract: The future of science teaching is a function of the number of prequalified candidates willing to take science education at the tertiary level. This research was aimed at finding science practical activities as a motivating factor in simplifying science subjects, making the study of science harder as well as developing prequalified students' interest in becoming science teachers. Out of nearly 800 students in final year in Government Science Secondary Schools Bama, and Gombe, respectively in Borno and Gombe States, 400 hundred students were randomly selected as representative sample. Four research questions were answered using Prequalified Students Interest Questionnaire (PSIQ) as an instrument for data collection and simple percentage in analysis.

Research Directions in Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Key Distribution
      Ms. Deepa Harihar Kulkarni

Abstract: Quantum cryptography is an approach to securing communications by applying the phenomena of quantum physics. Quantum cryptography provides secure communication whose security depends only on the validity of quantum theory. Interesting characteristics of quantum mechanics includes the existence of indivisible quanta and of entangled systems, both of which lie at the root of the quantum cryptography (QC). QC is one of the few commercial applications of quantum physics at the single quantum level. Computers and Telecommunications system would become safe havens for criminal activity. Even may himself unknowns that crypto anarchy provides a means for tax evasion money laundering, espionage (with digital dead drops), contract killings, and implementation of data havens for Monitoring and marketing illegal or controversial material.

Study and Comparison Performance of On-demand AODV and DSR, along with the traditional proactive DSDV Routing Protocols for MANET
      Vijendra Rai, Jaishree Jain

Abstract: In wireless research area, efficient routing algorithms can provide remarkable benefits in Ad-hoc networks, including higher throughput, lower average end-to-end delay, less number of dropped data packets and generally an ameliorated network performance. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far. My research work, an attempt has been made to compare the performance of three prominent on-demand reactive routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks: DSR and AODV, along with the traditional proactive DSDV protocol. A simulation analysis with MAC and physical layer models is used to study interlayer communication and their performance implications. Experimental results obtained, showed that the On-demand protocols, AODV and DSR perform much better than the table-driven DSDV protocol. Although DSR and AODV share similar On-demand behavior, the differences in the protocol mechanics can lead to significant performance differentials. For a variety of scenarios, as characterized by mobility, load and size of the ad-hoc network were simulated. The performance differentials are analyzed using varying network load, mobility pattern, and Network size.

Characterization of Sulphamic Acid Single Crystal by Optical Techniques
      Dr. Rita A. Gharde, Divakar T. Chunarkar

Abstract: The formation of crystal in nature, like snowflakes and minerals, as well as the preparation of the crystal in laboratories and factories made for technical application is called crystal growth. The most frequently used and most important method of producing single crystals of a given material is by solidification of its own melt called 'crystal growth from the melt' or just 'melt growth'. Its technical and economic importance is due to the fact that large single crystals can be grown very effectively and with a high yield at a relatively high growth rate. This growth rate is not limited by the transport of crystal species but only by the removal of the heat of crystallization. In the last decade single crystalline subject of increasing interest, because of their remarkable characteristics. Due to the large length-to-diameter ratio composed with perfect single crystal structure and chemical homogeneity, the mechanical properties approach theoretical value. In this work we are interested in growing single crystal for nonlinear optical applications. Beside this, we are trying to develop new materials that have specific thermo-mechanical properties to be used as a suspension for the mirror in advance gravitational waves detector in order to decrease low thermal noise.

Income Elasticities of Demand for major consumption items- Case study of Kashmir University Teachers
      Samira Khan

Abstract: Kashmir University teachers belong to upper sedentary and rich class is not a fact as the consumption behavior shown by them is similar to middle class society. The sample under examination differ in size of the family, age, designation, property ownership and other characteristics; in general we expect the household with above given different characteristics to have different expenditure plans but the analysis shows same expenditure by every income bracket which confirms Duessenbary's relative income hypothesis. While analyzing the income pattern of Kashmir university teachers we find that all observations do not lie on the straight line because in addition to the income other variables also affect consumption pattern. Direct taxes have more immediate effect on Consumption and Kashmir university teachers being healthy payer of taxes thereby their consumption pattern also shows a different behavior.

Effect of in-plane forces on frequency parameters
      A.K.L. Srivastava, S.R.Pandey

Abstract: Vibration and buckling characteristics of stiffened plates subjected to in-plane uniform and non-uniform edge loading at the plate boundaries are investigated using the finite element method. Rectangular stiffened plates possessing different boundary conditions, aspect ratios, varying mass and stiffness properties and varying number of stiffeners have been analyzed for buckling and vibration studies. The characteristic equations for the natural frequencies, buckling loads and their corresponding mode shapes are obtained from the equation of motion. The effects of the position of stiffeners and number of stiffeners, aspect ratios, boundary conditions, stiffeners parameters upon the buckling load parameter and fundamental frequency of the stiffened plates are investigated. The results are obtained considering the bending displacements of the plate and the stiffener. Eccentricity of the stiffeners gives rise to axial and bending displacement in the middle plane of the plate. Comparison with published results indicates good agreement. In the structure modelling, the plate and the stiffeners are treated as separate elements where the compatibility between these two types of elements is maintained.

Abstract: Introduction and objectives: The diagnosis of malignant and potentially malignant epithelial lesions of the oral mucosa cannot be based solely on clinical findings. Therefore, histologic evaluation of a representative biopsy specimen is necessary. However, the site for the biopsy is always a subjective choice that sometimes raises doubts about its representativeness. Colposcopy, a well-known gynaecological diagnostic procedure, is helpful in the selection of these sites of epithelial dysplasia depending upon the vascular pattern. Hence, this study was planned to assess the role of Colposcopic examination in the selection of biopsy site for carcinoma buccal mucosa.

Empowerment of Women in India- An Attempt to Fill the Gender Gap
      Dr. Ravi N. Kadam

Abstract: The discriminated and exploited of women is seen all over the world. The empowerment is an aid to help women to achieve equality with men or, at least, to reduce gender gap considerably. Women play a very strategic role in the development of society in particular and development of economy in general. Woman is the leader planner of the family, the first trainer; supplier of labour power and by playing focal role in the development of agriculture, industry, service sector, socio-culture etc. creates a civilized society. Women contribute directly or indirectly for economic development. Though the nature has given the genetic power of reproduction especially to the women, the socio-economic status of women is so poor and the incidence of poverty is more on woman only. Empowering women is the only solution for all questions. Her potential hidden power is to be utilized for which, her status in the society must be improved and economically she should be strengthened. The poverty is the main cause for her low bargaining power hence poverty should be removed. Empowering women and removal of poverty go hand in hand. Woman if is educated and empowered, her potential power can be utilized for the economic development. Mahatma Gandhiji says, "You educate a man, you educate an individual. You educate a woman, you educate an entire family.

Recent Developments in Signal Encryption-A Critical Survey
      S.Rajanarayanan and A. Pushparaghavan

Abstract: In digitally modern world, the fundamental issue of multimedia data security (such as digital audio signals, images, and videos) is becoming a major concern due to the rapid development of digital communications and networking technologies. The methods and algorithms which are currently available for data protection uses cryptographic primitives for secure data transmission and reception by assuming that both sides must trust on each other. Nowadays, the range of cryptography applications have been expanded a lot in the modern area after the development of communication means; cryptography is essentially required to ensure that data are protected against penetrations and to prevent espionage. The major two conceptual blocks of cryptography is encryption and decryption. This is achieved by sending encrypted version of the data to the untrusted computers to process. Once when the computation process is completed on the encrypted data, the results will be sent back and the decryption is applied to extract the original data content. To ensure the decrypted result to be equal to the intended computed value, a structural method of encryption should be followed. Encryption is a technique which maintains confidentiality while sending and receiving data or storing the information. The principle of Kerckoffs' on the encryption states that the security must not rely on the obfuscation of code, but only on the secrecy of the decryption key. In this paper detailed description of symmetric and asymmetric encryption are given to provide a wider view of encryption techniques. The field of secure signal processing poses significant challenges for both signal processing and cryptography research; only few ready-to-go fully integrated solutions are available.

Abstract: Mobicents Sip Servlets helps the users to create, deploy, and manage services and applications that integrate voice, video and data in real time over IP networks. These applications require high resources to run. Mobicents Sip Servlets has not offered a cloud support yet. Running Mobicents Sip Servlets in a cloud would allow the users to adapt the resources used by Mobicents Sip Servlets to the real time load of the applications. We have proposed a solution to migrate Mobicents Sip Servlets on a cloud platform. Our solution provides a set of cloud images that support the Mobicents Sip Servlets platform. Besides, our solution provides an auto-scaling algorithm that automatically scales the number of instances of Mobicents Sip Servlets. It is now possible to deploy SIP applications in a cloud and the platform will adapt its resource according to the need.

Text Fusion in Medical Images Using Fuzzy Logic Based Matrix Scanning Algorithm
      Pinki Jain, Anu Aggarwal (Guide)

Abstract: Text fusion in medical images is an important technology for image processing. We have lots of important information related to the patient's reports and need lots of space to store and the proper position and name which relates that image with that data. In our work we are going to find out the AOI (area of interest) for the particular image and will fuse the related document in the NAOI (non area of interest) of the image, till yet we have many techniques to fuse text data in the medical images one of form them is to fuse data at the boarders of the images and build the particular and pre defined boarder space. We are going to propose an algorithm called fuzzy logic based matrix scanning algorithm in which we will first find out the area of interest and after that we find noisy pixels of the image to embed data in that noisy portions to save the boarder size. Our proposed technique is LSB to store text data in pixels. We use MATLAB for carrying out implementation on our proposed work.
