Abstract:
Rising demand on fertilizer is closely related with the rising demand of crop as the population increases. Land available to be used for agricultural purposes is limited. With the increase of health awareness of people, organically cultured fruits and vegetables are getting attention and in demand. Although chemical fertilizers are still in extensive use these days, people are getting more aware of the effects brought by these chemicals. Environmental as well as health problems have raised the alarm on the effects of usage of chemical fertilizer and consuming of heavily chemically fertilized crops. Vermicomposting has been getting attention due to its environmental friendly approach. Beside the compost produced, recent interest has been brought up due to the possible use of the liquid by products from this green technology. Several terms have been used to describe the liquids derived from the vermicomposting process. This paper reviews the common terms used for vermicompositng derived liquids, its potential in agricultural use as well as its pros and cons.

Abstract:
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are most commonly resulting from road traffic accidents, falling from a height, high velocity crashes and certain types of sports accidents. Even though sport related SCI is rare, still it carries a high rate of mortality and morbidity which limits the day-today and sport activities of the athlete because of the altered quality of life that often accompanies such an injury.
In this research, the focus is to evaluate the awareness about SCI among school athletes. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed among 243 school athletes (12-20years) of both genders (males-50.2%, females-49.8%) in 10 schools in Kandy educational zone in Central Sri Lanka. Responses for the questionnaires were analyzed to determine the knowledge regarding anatomy, etiologyand clinical features of SCI as well as handling and transferring techniques of an athlete with SCI.

Abstract:
There is shortage of information about sugar cane crop in Sudan; therefore, it is necessary to adopt a new technology for carrying out inventory or estimation of this crop-space technology (Remote Sensing, GIS, and GPS) can offer an invaluable assistance in this regard.
In this research, space technologies were applied for sugar cane crop estimation in New Halfa sugar cane scheme.IRS-5m resolution image was used for this purpose. Two areas were selected as the study area (area three and area six). Two sets of image were used (October, 2006 and December, 2007). The Supervised classification technique was adapted for the study.
The results showed clear variations between the sugar cane fields. To continue close monitoring of the sugar cane yield, satellite images captured at different dates during the growing period of sugar cane should be available. The research results revealed the importance of integrating RS and GIS as effective tools for the assessment, detection, monitoring and mapping of the various features on the earths surface such as land degradation. Moreover, RS & GIS assist in the study of vegetation cover. Etc. This leads to saving effort, time and cost.

Abstract:
The education system in Nigeria is faced with a mirage of defects which include inadequate provision of teaching and learning resources as a result of poor planning and corruption among other things. This study considers the effect of teaching/learning resources on academic performance in mathematics among pre-university students in Ile-Ife, South-West, Nigeria.
A total of 126 questionnaires were administered among two major pre-university schools in Ile-Ile, Nigeria. The research instrument developed for this research is student’s questionnaire on performance (SQP) to answer at least three research questions on academic performance of students in mathematics. Correlation analysis, coefficient of determination and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
In all analyses, we find that all the independent variables considered could not account well for academic performance of students in mathematics. Cogent recommendations were made based on our empirical findings.

Abstract:
The study was aimed to evaluate whether which spot urine protein to creatinine ratio (PC) can be a reliable alternative to 24-hour urinary total protein (UTP) estimation by analyzing four day time spot urine samples of CKD clinic patients.
We studied 48 CKD patients attending Nephrology unit with different nephritis such as diabetic nephropathy, CKD due to hypertension and unknown etiology (28male and 20 female) with proteinuria over 1g/day (GFR> 45 ml/min/1.73m2) to determine the correlation between the measures of urine protein excretion by using four spot urine samples namely early morning,7am - 10 am, 10am-4pm and before going to bed. The simple linear regression, central tendency and dispersion were calculated. The Friedman test was done to evaluate difference among urine protein levels of 4 day time urine samples.
The mean 24 hour protein concentration was 3.8g/day+ 1.6 and the correlation coefficient (r) between 24-hour urine total protein and spot urine PC ratio were early morning 0.81 (P < 0.001), 7am - 10 am 0.64 (P < 0.001), 10am-4pm 0.66 (P < 0.001) and before going to bed 0.792 (P < 0.001) in the study population. Early morning spot urine sample showed the highest linear association whereas the 7am-10am and 10am-4 pm shows lower associations compared to other two spot urine samples. Highest and lowest median of PC ratio were 7 am -10am and before going to bed respectively. Highest dispersion of PC ratio was observed in 10am-4 pm and the distribution of before bed is somewhat skewed to right. We conclude that the protein-to-creatinine ratio (PC) in early morning urine sample is an accurate, convenient, and reliable method to estimate the protein excretion in urine in study population in early stages of CKD.

Abstract:
Objective: To assess the existing rehabilitation protocol relative to the international standard protocol for knee soft tissue injuries among school level rugby players in Kandy zone. Design, setting and sample: A retrospective whole population survey was conducted among division A and B, 45 school level male rugby players (Under 17 and 19) who had undergone knee soft tissue injuries in the Kandy zone, Sri Lanka. Measurements: A self-administered questionnaire which contained 21 close ended (Yes/No) questions on acute, rehabilitation and training stages which prepared according to the international standard rehabilitation protocol developed by human kinetics organization. Results: According to the responses obtained from the self-administered questionnaire; 24.4 % followed the rehabilitation stage, 4.4 % followed the training stage and none of the players followed the acute stage of the rehabilitation process. Even though the players were not following all the five components of acute stage accurately, they have followed each component separately, such as protection (75%), rest (57%), ice (37%), compression (60%) and elevation (8%). Approximately 71% of players were engaged in stretching and 62% in endurance training in the rehabilitation stage. However majority of players (77%) got back to their sport before getting proper recovery. The study revealed that 24.44% of knee injured players were props in their teams. 40% of these players have got recurrent injuries in their histories. The study identified that the percentage of availability of sport physician and physiotherapists to be 35.55% and zero respectively. This indicated that the entire rehabilitation process is not being implemented among Kandy zone school level rugby players. Conclusion: In conclusion, the results of this study showed that, the implementation of the rehabilitation protocol in the Kandy zone, Sri Lanka is not up to international standard. Therefore, an internationally standard rehabilitation

Abstract:
The present investigation has been undertaken in sweet corn to carry out the combining ability analysis and to estimate heterosis of yield and yield contributing characters. Eight divergent parents were selected and crossed in diallel fashion excluding reciprocals during kharif, 2010. The resulting 28 crosses along with parents and a standard check Sugar 75 and Madhuri were evaluated in Randomized Block Design replicated thrice, during rabi, 2010-11 at Agricultural Research Institute, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The data were collected on various agronomic characters in which emphasis was given to sugar content in the kernel in percentage. The combining ability analysis revealed importance of both additive and non-additive gene actions in governing the characters but non-additive gene action was found predominant. The parental lines 6072-3 and 6069 were contributed maximum favourable genes for character under study and can be given status of good combiners. The hybrids, 6072-3 x 6100-2, 6072-3 x 6069, 6104 x 6082 and 6127 x 6100 were the good specific combiners for sugar content in the kernel. Estimates of heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis were variable among crosses in desirable direction and some of them turned out to be best specific crosses. The hybrids 6072-3 x 6069, 6072-3 x 6100-2, 6069 x 6122-1, 6122-1 x 6127, 6072-3 x 6127 and 6104 x 6082 performed well over standard Madhuri for sugar content in kernel. The identified four superior cross combinations (6072-3 x 6100-2, 6072-3 x 6069 and 6104 x 6082) in the present investigation, based on heterosis and combining ability, which performed well for sugar content in the kernel may be used as single cross hybrids after evaluation in multi-location trials.

Abstract:
Today quotas are being introduced in countries where women only constitute a small minority in parliament, and the world is witnessing historical transformations in women’s representation, for example from 19 per cent women in parliament to 35 in one election (Costa Rica) or 36 per cent women in the very first democratic parliamentary election (South Africa). Such great historical fundamental changes might not occur without quota provisions, but the focus here is on electoral gender quotas as a special measure to increase women representation. It is argued that a new international discourse on women in institutional politics is an important factor behind recent introduction of quotas all over the world, even in countries that previously had a very low representation of women. However, the fact that some countries have opened up for quotas, while others have not, and secondly, the fact that specific types of quota systems do seem to occur in regional clusters, all point to the need for contextual based research about what we will call the translation of this international discourse into individual countries and regions, and about the mechanisms behind the introduction of quotas nationally. The study will be done with a search light on situation in India and other political systems.

Abstract:
Glaucoma is a multifactorial optic neuropathy characterized by retinal ganglionic cell death. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a recognized risk factor for retinal ganglionic cell degeneration in glaucoma, but is it the only cause of glaucoma? Do progression of glaucoma is fully controlled by controlling IOP? No. Today there are enormous pharmacological and surgical methods to control IOP, but still progression of glaucoma is uncontrolled. It is the need of an hour to work into deeper details of glaucoma, to find its associations and find new multidimensional approach to treat glaucoma. In this article, we found some associations of glaucoma with various age related disorders, and new treatment modalities. This will widen our horizon of thinking and will enable us to find better therapeutic ways to control glaucoma.

Abstract:
Vital signs are measurements of the bodys most basic functions. The four main vital signs routinely monitored by medical professionals and healthcare providers include the following body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate (rate of breathing), blood pressure (Blood pressure is not considered a vital sign, but is often measured along with the vital signs.) Vital signs are useful in detecting or monitoring medical problems. Vital signs can be measured in a medical setting, at home, at the site of a medical emergency, or elsewhere. This paper aims at measurement of respiration rate using digital sensor extending the methods of measuring it with help of thermistor, chest expansion etc. The respiration rate is measured with the help of TMP100 a Digital temperature sensor which monitor the slightest change in temperature during inhale & exhale. Wireless GSM MODEM, which is serially interfaced with microcontroller, sends the collected data to the physician. The theory, design procedures, experimental results and discussions of these systems are presented.

Abstract:
Detection of Optic disc (OD) in a fundus image is one of the important step in the process of automated screening of diabetic retinopathy. Hard Exudates detection algorithms generally find lot of false positives at the OD region since the intensity and colour distribution of OD region will much resemble that of a Hard Exudates region. So, most of the Exudates detection algorithms will wrongly classify the pixels at the OD region as Hard Exudates or Soft Exudates.
In our previous work, we used Genetic Algorithm(GA) to find the OD location and size and reduced overall time, even doing the search on the entire problem space. In this work we are going to remove false hard exudates and will improving Retinopathy detection accuracy using GA based automatic optic disc detection and removal method. We are going to use the outputs of baseline hard exudates detection method presented in the of DIARETDB1[8] for evaluating the improvement after the removal of false positives in the OD region. We will evaluate the improvement in performance using the more versatile metric ‘weighted error rate’ (WER). After removing false positives at OD region by manual removal method and the proposed automatic removal method, we will compare the results of baseline method for evaluating the improvement in classification accuracy.

Abstract:
The heat extraction from the lower convective zone or storage zone of salinity gradient solar pond with corrugated bottom is investigated with the aim of increasing the overall efficiency of collecting solar radiation, storing heat and delivering this heat to different applications. The energy balance equations for each zone have been used to develop the expression of temperature distribution in the solar pond. Then this equation has been used to develop the equation for efficiency of the solar pond. The analysis is based on the boundary conditions at the interface between the zones and the matching conditions. In this method, heat is extracted from the storage zone of the solar pond. A theoretical analysis is conducted to obtain expression for the variation of temperature with depth of solar pond. The dependence of the energy efficiency of the solar pond on the thickness of storage zone, temperature of delivered heat, variation combinations of the pond and storage zone heat extraction only explored. The theoretical analysis suggests that heat extraction from the storage zone has the potential to increase the overall efficiency of a solar pond delivering heat at a relatively high temperature by up to 50 %, compared with the conventional solar pond method of heat extraction solely from the storage zone. The potential gain in efficiency using storage zone heat extraction is attributed to the storage zone that can be achieved with this method. The results are then obtained by computer simulation. The effects of system and operating parameters of the solar pond like area enhancement factor (β), heat extraction rate, heat capacity rate and depth of the pond on the temperature distribution and efficiency have been developed. It has been found that the temperature distribution in the solar pond is a strong function of system and operating parameters.

Abstract:
Clustering is a task of assigning a set of objects into groups called clusters. In data mining, hierarchical clustering is a method of cluster analysis which seeks to build a hierarchy of clusters. Strategies for hierarchical clustering generally fall into two types:Agglomerative: This is a "bottom up" approach: each observation starts in its own cluster, and pairs of clusters are merged as one moves up the hierarchy.Divisive: This is a top down approach: all observations start in one cluster, and splits are performed recursively as one moves down the hierarchy.

Abstract:
Introduction: Cryptococcal meningitis is a type of meningitis. It has conventionally associated with HIV infection. However, few cases are also described in patients with other forms of immunosuppression and in apparently immunocompetent individuals as well. Objectives: We reviewed 15 cases hospitalized and diagnosed with cryptococcal meningitis at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal in the last two years. We also compared the clinicopathologic characteristics of meningitis in HIV positive and HIV negative groups. Results: 9 of 15 patients with cryptococcal meningitis had been diagnosed with HIV, remaining 6 were HIV negative. The predominant clinical features in both groups were headache, vomiting and fever. The patients with HIV had the following features: more acute onset of signs and symptoms a higher mortality rate, low to normal leucocyte count with a predominance of neutrophils and an initial high cryptococcal antigen titre. The CSF glucose was low whereas the protein was elevated. The HIV negative group had a late onset of illness, higher leucocyte count with a predominance of lymphocytes and lower cryptococcal antigen titre. The CSF glucose and protein were normal. Conclusion: Both groups had a well-defined set of characteristics which could be useful in diagnosing and predicting the course of the disease.

Abstract:
Batch arrival feedback queue with additional multi optional service and multiple vacation is considered. All the arriving customers demand first essential service and only some of them demand second optional service. After the completion of second service, customer may feedback to the tail of original queue to repeat the service until it is successful or may depart forever from the system. If there is no customer in the queue the server goes on multiple vacation. Service times are gernerally distributed and vacation time is exponentially distributed. The time dependent probability generating functions has been obtained in terms of their Laplace transforms and the corresponding steady state results are obtained explicitly. Mean queue length and mean waiting time are computed.

Abstract:
Single crystals of thiourea doped trisglycine zinc chloride (TuTGZC) were grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that TuTGZC crystals belong to orthorhombic system. Various diffracting planes of the grown crystal were identified from the powder X-ray diffraction study. The FT- IR spectral analysis confirmed the presence of the functional groups present in the grown TuTGZC crystal. Optical studies showed that the TuTGZC crystal has good transparency in the entire UV and visible range of the spectrum. The relative second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of TuTGZC crystal was found by Kurtz – Perry powder technique. Thermal stability and melting point of the grown crystal were found by thermal analyses. The mechanical strength of the grown crystal is estimated by Vicker’s micro hardness test.

Abstract:
In the present days, English communication becomes the international mass connection between people and organizations. The crucial barriers of the English communication would be low level of competency especially for non-native speakers. Developing language profiles of graduates for higher levels of speaking skills to serve the need of workplace in Asian Economic Communities becomes a high concern in many countries including Thailand as one of the providing strategies for ASEAN association. This study investigated and identified levels of English oral communication competency of civil engineering students at a Thai university of Technology with the proposing designed instrument based on the ESP theory aiming to search for specific points for further development. The informants were assessed with tasks composed of structured interviews with pictures to draw out the linguistic features in specific work context using the constructed rubrics. Finding revealed that the participants were ranged at the average level and their significant English oral competency deficiencies fall on grammatical errors and pronunciation and the use of L1 to communicate. However, the interaction aspect indicated that the students are able to interact and communicate in the specific work context if they have the technical content schema. To estimate the proposing tools, results revealed that the first set of the instrument used for signifying levels of English competency of the informants and the second set with scoring process and rubric evaluation to assess the students’ English performance noted in the first set appeared the reliability. Data from this research is used for implications and recommendations for developing the quality of Thai engineers.

Abstract:
Neuropsychological deficits have been found to underlie the developmental disorders of various skills. Studies conducted thus far suggest education based remedial training (EBRT) to be beneficial in overcoming the developmental skill deficits. Though, computer assisted cognitive training (CACT) has been found to be effective in enhancing various cognitive functions in cases of traumatic brain injury, stroke, schizophrenia, the effect of this intervention strategy has not been explored in helping children with specific learning disorders (SLD).The aim of the present study therefore was to examine the effectiveness of CACT when employed as an adjunct with EBRT in the management of children with Reading, Spelling and Arithmetic disorder. 10 children between the ages 8 and 15 years meeting at least one of the ICD-10 criteria for Reading, Spelling and Arithmetic disorder were sequentially assigned to either EBRT + CACT, or only EBRT. The training for both the groups was conducted in 8-12 sessions, spread over 2 months. Pre- and Post-assessment was conducted using NIMHANS SLD index. It was found that the adjunct intervention relative to EBRT was superior in augmenting various academic skills. However, these differences did not reach statistically significant level owing to smaller sample size. The use of CACT along with EBRT resulted in significant improvement in Spelling ability of the group undergoing the same. The CACT seems to have therapeutic potential in developmental disorders when combined with EBRT.

Abstract:
The Indian retail industry continues its growth trajectory on to 2011. India has emerged as the hottest retail destination. Most of the organized retailing in India has started recently and is concentrating mainly in metropolitan cities. The growth of Indian organized retail market is mainly due to the change in the consumer behavior. This change has come in the consumer due to the increased income, changing life styles and pattern of demography which are favourable.Now the consumer wants to shop at a place where he can get food, entertainment and shopping, all under one roof. This has given Indian organized retail market a major boost.
Shopping malls are the hot shopping destinations in new life style. Due to rapid retail boom, variety of malls has emerged. With this big ticket mall culture hitting the great Indian middle class, the days of pure shopping delight seems to be diminishing.
Our study is on the ‘DB Mall’ that has recently come up in the city of lakes, Bhopal. It was delighting to study the shopper’s attraction and their views which concluded with a positive nod on mall culture in our tier II city.

Abstract:
The mathematical model of PMSM, using the powerful simulation modeling capabilities of Matlab/Simulink is implemented. The entire PMSM control system is divided into several independent functional modules such as PMSM body module, inverter module and coordinate transformation module and SVPWM production module and so on. The simulation model of the PMSM control system can be obtained by combining these modules. The main advantage of SIMULINK over other programming softwares is that, instead of compilation of program code, the simulation model is built up systematically by means of basic function blocks. With the simulation of the motor, we can analyse a variety of simulation waveforms and it provide an effective means for the analysis and design of the PMSM control system.

Abstract:
Introduction: The liquid vaporizers are very commonly used as residential insecticides in developing countries. Neurotoxic effects of pyrethroids have been reported earlier but study regarding its direct effect on physical activity of albino rats are scanty. So the present study was planned to assess and compare the effects of long term prallethrin (a Pyrethroid) exposure on albino rats.
Method: Twenty albino rats were divided into two groups of control and experimental. Rats in experimental group were exposed to 3.2% w/v prallethrin vapours 12 hours daily for 180 days. Control animals were kept under identical conditions without exposure to said repellent.
The albino rats in experimental group were subjected to Spontaneous Motor Activity, Forced Locomotor Activity and Swimming endurance test to record their physical activity.
Result: Significant changes in Spontaneous Motor Activity, Forced Locomotor Activity and Swimming Endurance Test were not recorded in prallethrin exposed rats as compared to control ones throughout the study.
Conclusion: Lack of changes in the behavioural parameters as seen in our study may be due to difference in the route adopted and perhaps due to limited duration of exposure and high degree of adaptability of the animal to adverse insults.

Abstract:
In multihop cellular networks mobile nodes usually transmit packets through intermediate mobile nodes for enhancing performance. Selfish nodes usually do not cooperate which has a negative effect on the network fairness and performance. A fair, efficient and optimal incentive mechanism has been proposed to stimulate the mobile node’s cooperation. Hashing operations are used in order to increase the security. Trivial Hash function has been used to improve end-to-end delay and throughput. In addition Cyclic Redundancy Check Mechanism has been employed to identify the irrational nodes that involve themselves in sessions with the intention of dropping the data packets. Moreover, to reduce the collision at the Accounting Center a Border node has been entrusted the task of submitting the checks using a digital signature.

Abstract:
Most oil pumping units (OPUs) have been using manual control in the oilfield. This existing oil-pumping system has a high power-consuming process and needs more manual power. In this paper, a sensor network based intelligent control is proposed for power economy and efficient oil well health monitoring. This paper consists of several basic sensors such as voltage sensor, current sensor, oil pressure sensor, temperature sensor and gas sensor. These sensors are used for oil well data sensing, i.e. it senses and collects the data from the oil well. The sensed data is given to the controller which processes the oil wells data and it is given to the oil pump control unit which controls the process accordingly. If any abnormality is detected then the fault is informed to the maintenance manager. The malfunction is sent as an SMS to the manager’s mobile via GSM. Thus oil wells can be monitored and controlled from remote places.

Abstract:
As medicinal science heading towards the new discoveries, butthe trap of psychological disorders, kept questioning about the capabilities of medicinal science. They sinisterly kill people through their slow poisons like dementia, depression as well as in form different diseases like Schizophrenia, Alzheimer, Autism, Parkinson and many others. In our study we focused on analysis of two totally different diseases that are Alzheimer and Autism. Former one affect the old stage while later shows its presence in childhood stage of us Homo sapiens life. Many neurotransmitters, proteins and various chemicals play their different roles in these two disorders. But certainly Dopamine which is a monoamine synthesized from amino acid tyrosine is a common neurotransmitter play its vital role by varying its percentage in these two diseases. Due to dopamines soluble nature, in case of Alzheimer aggregates with beta-peptide while in Autisms case it affect the central nervous system (CNS). In between huge number of genes of Dopamine, we selected the Dopamine beta hydroxylase gene, which help in combining the study of Alzheimer and Autism together, using different Bioinformatics tools, and proteomic and gene expression analysis. On such basis, among Bos tarus, Rattus norvegicus, Mus musculus, Canis lupus, Danio rerio, Homo sapiens and Equus caballus, we determined the best model organism for Alzheimer and Autism and which may help in future aspects of pharmacogenomics & personalized medicines for both.

Abstract:
The main concern of this article will be to discuss the reasons that led Wittgenstein to give up his earlier theory of meaning as advocated in the Tractatus.There is a specific problem relating to colour predicates, which initially led Wittgenstein to change his theory. As he realizes, his notion of elementary propositions which provide the foundation for his earlier theory of meaning, cannot be retained. It is thus felt that the problem posed by elementary propositions signifies the inadequacy of the earlier theory of meaning. On this consideration, Wittgensteins analysis of colour predicates assumes a paramount importance in the middle phase (during the period before investigation) of his philosophy. In this changed perspective, propositions are considered not in isolation, as in the case of elementary propositions, but as a system. Different propositions form a system of propositions. The idea of system of propositions…. has a lasting impact on the final stage of Wittgensteins theory of meaning. In fact, his main attempt to explain meaning in the light of Language-game as proposed in the Investigation can be shown to be a full-blown expression of the middle stage of his philosophy. In this discussion we will first see the problem of elementary proposition and second, Wittgensteins idea of a system of proposition. Finally, I will explain some important points relating to this issue. In the present discussion the above mentioned points will be discussed with reference to Wittgenstein Philosophical Remarks.

This article is an attempt based on common day experiences that something exists beyond the so called Intelligence of Brain (IoB) that helps us to act in situation. It also describes situations in which IoB enters into an open conflict with this so called new intelligence. This new thing has been traced to an extension of the well known Emotional Intelligence (EI) as well we make to classify the observable traits of the so called people.
The key term used in this article is Wisdom of Heart (WoH). It’s a new term to denote this kind of people and its an extension of the common term EI. We classify these people under the head WoH people.
I shall begin with some real life incidents that happened to me.

Abstract:
Every year, the world is hit by a large number of earthquakes, which result in enormous damage, not only in terms of mortality rate but also adversely weaken the socio-economical spine of any nation. Recent years have evidenced a comprehensive study about seismic activities and the various phenomena associated to such events. An interesting and relatively nascent subject related to earthquakes is the generation of Ultra Low Frequency and the Extremely Low Frequency emissions, that account for changes in the electric and the magnetic field prior to moderate as well as strong earthquakes. This paper attempts to emphasize on and discuss the association of ULF and ELF waves in context to the seismic activities. Also some of the intricate causes pertaining to generation mechanism of such electric burst are discussed.

Abstract:
The end-to-end nature of Internet congestion control is an important factor in its scalability and robustness. However, end-to-end congestion control algorithms alone are incapable of preventing the congestion collapse and unfair bandwidth allocations created by applications that are unresponsive to network congestion. To address this flaw, we propose and investigate a novel congestion avoidance mechanism called Network Border Patrol (NBP).
NBP relies on the exchange of feedback between routers at the borders of a network in order to detect and restrict unresponsive traffic flows before they enter the network. An enhanced core-stateless fair queueing mechanism is proposed in order to provide fair bandwidth allocations among competing flows. NBP is compliant with the Internet philosophy of pushing complexity toward the edges of the network whenever possible. Simulation results show that NBP effectively eliminates congestion collapse that, when combined with fair queueing,
NBP achieves approximately max-min fair bandwidth allocations for competing network flows.

Abstract:
This paper presents a low power design methodology for the Quasi Resonant Interconnection networks (QRN). This focuses mainly on reducing the power utilized at the receiver by replacing the existing delay element by a digitally controlled delay element. The analysis and design of the transmitter, receiver and the Interconnect and spiral inductor models are presented using 0.18µm CMOS technology. A very efficient reduction in power can be obtained by this method as about 0.12W is the power at the proposed receiver when compared to 50W in the existing receiver.

Abstract:
In this paper encryption and steganography algorithms are implemented using JAVA™ with android platform to provide the security for real time multimedia messaging service system. Establishing hidden communication for mobile has become an important subject of security. One of the methods to provide security is steganography. Steganography is used to hide secret information inside some carrier. To improve the security, encrypted secret data will be hidden inside MMS. The image is made to be hidden into image from MMS which provides more secured transmission than text information embedded into the MMS. The Least Significant Bit (LSB) embedding technique is used to hide the secret information (image). Different sizes of secret images are taken and later the calculations have been done for the PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) of image in MATLAB. Encryption and steganography algorithms are ported on HTC Desire mobile device with android version 2.2.3.

Abstract:
Obesity is one of the greatest challenges of our time affecting vast majority of population. It is a serious chronic disease that has numerous etiologies. The Human Adenovirus-36 (Ad-36) was first described in 1980, about the time that the prevalence of obesity began to increase. Support for Ad-36 being a contributor to the obesity epidemic has been accumulating over several years and has been shown to cause obesity in chickens, mice and nonhuman primates.The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of Ad-36 virus in obese and non-obese individuals.
Plasma titers of Ad-36 virus were evaluated in 20 obese and 21 non obese individuals. Blood samples were obtained from obese subjects with BMI 27-34 and also from non-obese controls with BMI <27. Ad-36 titers were estimated using Real-time PCR SYBR green I fluorescence assay. Statistically increased titers of Ad-36 were found in obese subjects when compared to those of non-obese controls (p<0.001). Thus, in our study, titers of Ad-36 virus are increased in obese individuals suggesting that this virus may play a role in etiology of obesity.

Abstract:
The commodities that are being produced by cottage industries are basically consumable ones and are produced through the utilization of the traditional techniques. Cottage Industry especially started its function in the country sides of a country where unemployment along with under-employment are prevalent. Thus, this industry helps the economy by absorbing a huge amount of surplus labor of the rural economy. Another glaring feature of Cottage Industry is that it is not a mass producer of commodities. The main risk that is being faced by this industry is from the factory based medium or large industries which are again capital intensive in nature. This is because of the fact that these large industries utilize all sorts of cost effective technologies which enable them to supply the products at low price. On the other hand, The Cottage Industry is basically labour intensive and utilizes traditional techniques in production process which are generally not cost effective in nature which escalates the price of their product. The products supplied by the Cottage Industry thus face risk of extinction if they dont receive enough financial or other form of support from the government.

Abstract:
Illegal immigration from Bangladesh to Assam has been a burning problem and is adversely affecting the economy and social environment; creating law and order problem wherever they are present in sizeable number. It is due to both pull and ‘push’ factors. Foremost among these are the economic factors (like better employment opportunities in India) while the poverty, subsistence living, ravages caused by flood and other natural calamities in Bangladesh act as push factors. The data provided in the study indicates that if necessary steps are not taken immediately, Assam, the elder sister of North-East India would loss its identity from the map of India very soon. To meet the problem, a few suggestions are forwarded in this paper.

Abstract:
Image compression is one of the major image processing techniques that is widely used in medical, automotive, consumer and military applications. Discrete wavelet transforms is the most popular transformation technique adopted for image compression. Complexity of DWT is always high due to large number of arithmetic operations. In this work a modified Distributive Arithmetic based DWT architecture is proposed and is implemented on FPGA. The modified approach consumes area of 6% on Spartan 3 FPGA and operates at 134 MHz. The modified DA-DWT architecture has a latency of 44 clock cycles and a throughput of 4 clock cycles. This design is twice faster than the reference design and is thus suitable for applications that require high speed image processing algorithms.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of high-speed and Computational resources Load Balancing has become a necessity in emerging distributed environment to address the inherit heterogeneity in computing resources. From two load balancing strategies static and dynamic, dynamic strategy is efficient for these systems. In dynamic also the centralized dynamic approach limits the scalability with the load balancing unit itself becoming a bottleneck. Conversely, the decentralized dynamic approach though overcomes the above problems, suffers from increased communication overhead. The hybrid dynamic approach which uses centralized and decentralized strategy suffers from bottleneck and communication overhead problem for large number of system. In this paper we propose the design of a simple yet effective improved hybrid dynamic load balancing algorithm that overcomes the limitations of hybrid dynamic algorithm and performs competitively for heterogeneous system having large number of heterogeneous nodes.

Abstract:
This paper describes a predictive model for acoustic transverse transmission loss from ducts with flat oval configuration of finite length. The transmission mechanism is essentially that of mode coupling, whereby higher structural modes in the duct walls get excited because of non-circularity of the wall. Effect of geometry has been taken care of by evaluating Fourier coefficients of the radius of curvature. Emphasis is on understanding the physics of the problem as well as analytical modeling. Effects of the flat ovality, curvature have been demonstrated. With Anechoic termination, progressive approach modeling has been adopted in this paper.

Abstract:
Calcifying fibroblastic granuloma is a relatively rare ginigval overgrowth that is considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. It is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws consisting of cellular fibroblastic tissue containing rounded or lobulated masses of calcified cementum like tissue. In this article, we present a case of 32 year female with an intra oral swelling on the labial aspect of 32 & 33, appearing to originate from the marginal gingiva & interdental papilla. The swelling was sessile, mobile, non-tender, firm in consistency with an irregular surface. The colour of the gingiva was normal with slight ulceration. The swelling was excised & sent for histopathological examination. Based on clinical, radiologic and histopathologic findings a final diagnosis of calcifying fibroblastic granuloma was made.

Abstract:
Now a day, due to status symbol everyone is trying to purchase their own four wheelers. All the vehicles run by Petrol, Diesel, and CNG etc. Mostly the people prefer the AC vehicle, in these vehicles’ the rate of fuel consumption is high and also extracting huge amount of heat from the atmosphere. It often happens during rainy season, in heavy traffic area the pollution level is very high if the engine is ON for long time the vehicles are on standing mode. Then due to this reason the toxic gas is emitted inside the vehicle that is injurious to the health of human.
In this paper, we are planned to fuzzy logic to make a one gazette which controls the emission of toxic gases, smoke inside the vehicle and avoid drunken drive. Sometimes during the long drive or whole night driving driver may feel sleepy which is also dangerous for passengers, through the blinker system and eye lid blinking if the count is less ,then auto alarm which may indicate the toxic gas ,smoke level through alarm sound must be made alert for drivers and passengers. And if the driver is drinking then through the control unit the vehicle door is not opening and if door is not locked then engine is not ignited. If the toxic gas level is increasing then through auto control system the window will open while the level is decrease then it may be closed.

Abstract:
Directed hypergraphs are much like standard directed graphs. In intuitionistic fuzzy directed hypergraphs, like directed graphs, standard arcs connect a single tail node to a single head node, hyperarcs connect a set of tail nodes to a set of head nodes. In this paper, the isomorphism between two intuitionistic fuzzy directed hypergraphs is discussed. The condition for two intuitionistic fuzzy directed hypergraphs is isomorphic also discussed and some of its properties are also analyzed.

Abstract:
In India, the Hoolock gibbon, Hoolock hoolock, is found only in a small part in the northeast, south of the Brahmaputra River and east of the Dibang River. The Hoolock gibbon, a canopy dependent species, occurs in some reserve forests of Cachar district of Barak Valley, Assam. but its numbers is declining due to habitat loss and hunting. They are now surviving in some isolated pockets in the reserved forest areas, where they are occur in scattered groups and fighting for survival. A status survey was done in the Inner line reserved forest and its adjoining areas from July 2010 to Dec. 2011. Ten family groups and thirty-three individuals made up the total count. Of these the adult males and females comprised of 54.54% while the sub-adults, juveniles, and infants were 27.27%, 12.12% and 6.06% respectively. In activity budget, maximum time (%) spent in feeding i.e. 23.30% followed by foraging (27.90%), resting (23.50%), calling (3.10%) and others (13.20%). Adequate protection of existing protected areas, ban on timber logging, control of jhum cultivation and poaching, and conservation education/awareness and mass involvement of the local communities can help this valuable species to survive in their natural habitats in Barak Valley, Assam.
The present paper deals with the population status and activity budgeting of Hoolock Gibbon in the Inner line Reserve forest and its adjoining areas of Cachar district of Barak Valley, Assam.

Abstract:
In recent years, robots have been applied at different domains to co-ordinate collaborative behavior in distributed systems and providing a powerful basis for proactive applications of complex nature, especially in large scale disasters requiring complex tasks to be performed by groups under extreme time and resource constraints. Now a days robotics technology is became very popular in all fields of human life. Thats why Robotics was chosen as a focal point of this paper of its potentially transformative role both in a positive and negative way in addressing a wide range of development challenges, from climate change, healthcare, and agriculture to housing, transportation, and education. Yet while there is little doubt that technology will continue to be a driver of change across the developing world in the future, the precise trajectory along which technological innovation will travel is highly uncertain. A robot is a machine designed to execute one or more tasks repeatedly, with speed and precision. An important aspect of robotics security systems is surveillance of specified area. All of these tasks are performed mostly by human and trained dogs, often in very dangerous and risky situations. This is why since some years mobile robots have been proposed to help them and to perform tasks that neither humans, dogs nor existing tools can do.
Finally, the paper provides new avenues for effective utilization of automation and robotics through mapping of best practices ,through we try to introduce the fuzzy based interesting application of robotics in disaster management and as well as for security purpose. The robot is controlled by pc or mobile phone. These works mainly focus on target perception and identification and robot localization.

Abstract:
Bat guano is known to contain all the macro and micronutrients that plants require in a natural form and hence ably serve as plant fertilizer, soil builder, soil cleanser, fungicide, nematocide and compost activator. In ancient times it was used in agricultural practice as manure but with advent of chemical fertilizers its usage became less popular. Health menace created by chemical fertilizers is again polpularizing organic farming but bat guano is still not popular among the farming community since no explicit work on its plant growth promoting activity has been done. Hence the present study was undertaken to study the effect on the growth of Vigna radiata seedlings using Megaderma lyra guano from two different geographical locations (Yennehole and Varanga) in different quantities (soil: guano; 20:1, 20:0.5, 20:0.1) and in two types of soil (Autoclaved and Nonautoclaved).NPK content of guano was also analysed using standard techniques.
The results clearly indicated that the M lyra guano was rich in Phosphorus content and comparing the guano from two locations the Varanga guano was found to be higher in its nitrogen content. Plant growth assay indicated that guano from Yennehole was found to be better as manure compared to that from Varanga. Likewise bat guano was required in a very small quantity to increase the efficiency of plant growth. Amendment of both types of soil with bat guano from both locations showed good growth at soil: guano ratio of 20:0.5.

T
he history of education is the history of teaching and learning. Each generation, since the beginning of human evolution and writing, has sought to pass on cultural and social values, traditions, morality, religion and skills to the next generation. The history of the curricula of such education reflects human history itself, the history of knowledge, beliefs, skills and cultures of humanity.
Teaching is a triangular process wherein instructional objectives, learning experience and evaluation procedures lie inseparably interwined. In this process, evaluation occupies a pertinent position as it provides constant feedback on the quality of course content, teaching- learning process and advancement of learner’s performance.

Abstract:
The removal of unwanted vibrations in a video sequence induced by camera motion is an essential part of video acquisition in industrial, military and consumer applications. In this paper, we present a new image processing method to remove such vibrations and reconstruct a video sequence void of sudden camera movements. This approach to separating unwanted vibrations from intentional camera motion is based on a block matching motion estimation framework. The estimated parameters of interframe camera motion are the noisy observations of the intentional camera motion parameters. Video stabilization algorithm consists of a motion estimation (ME) block and a motion correction (MC) block. ME estimates the motion between frames and can be divided as a local motion estimator and a global motion decision unit. Basically the local motion estimator will return the estimated dense optical flow information between successive frames using typical block-based methods. The global motion decision unit will then determine an appropriate global transformation that best characterizes the motion described by the given optical flow information. Finally MC warps the current frame using the filtered global transformation information and generates the stabilized video sequence.

Abstract:
Authentication has become integral part of 90% of web sites. The major issue in web authentication is the limitation of human memory to remember the password string for longer period. Almost all websites are still using traditional recall-based textual password to identify their remote users. Vulnerability of this authentication mechanism due to the sophistication of online identity theft has led to the increased scope for the studies of recognition-based web authentication. This paper discusses the web authentication using graphical password built over the virtual environment. It examines the security threats associated with poor authentication practices of the Web and why is the need for businesses to strengthen web authentication. The paper also proposes a new approach for delivering one-time passwords using mobile phones.

Abstract:
Palm oil contributes about 19% of worldwide vegetable oil production with Malaysia accounting for over 50% of total production. Due to the global rise in crude oil prices, scientists have been forced to look for cheaper alternatives and palm oil has provided the right platform. This in turn led to an increase in the oil plantations and production in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Palm oil contains a number of vitamins, carotenes, fatty acids, sterols, pigments, and some other components enabling its wide application in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. Palm oil production is an integrated process with several stages starting from good cultivation practices for fruits of high oil content followed by a number of integrated processes for maximal separation and utilization of each oil fraction. The various processing phases generate several by-products which if not dealt with in a scientific manner could lead to deterioration in the ecosystem. In this paper we shall discuss the various on- going researches regarding the use of Palm mill wastes and suggestions on uses of this valuable crop and its by-products as a future to agriculture and a sustainable environment in Malaysia.

Abstract:
A slab of concrete harnesses kinetic energy whenever it is stepped on. This energy, created by 5 millimeters of flex in the material, is then either stored by lithium polymer batteries contained within the slabs or transmitted immediately to streetlights or other electronics located close by. The current model, made from stainless steel, recycled car tires and recycled aluminum, also includes a lamp embedded in the pavement that lights up every time a step is converted into energy (using only 5 percent of the generated energy).

Abstract:
Human Rights are a universal phenomenon because rights have been imbibed in our society over the years. It has been realized that without human rights we cannot live as human beings. These rights are necessary to ensure the dignity of every person as a human being irrespective of one race, religion, nationality, language, sex or any other factor. The concept of Human Rights is based on the assumption that human beings are born equal in dignity and rights. It was after the two world wars that the necessity for promoting and promoting human rights was felt seriously, and the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10th December 1948. This declaration provides that all men and women are entitled to civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights without any discrimination. Human rights education is not something like consideration of abstract ideas reflecting certain generous ideas. It is naturally to be adapted to the specific needs of every human being by providing one with norms, values and criteria to which one can refer to in the course of daily life. This paper tries to present Human Rights Education as a means of ensuring the observance of human rights and at the same time UGCs approach towards human rights.

Abstract:
The spectrum licensing issues and interference at unlicensed ISM bands limits the market penetration. Though emerging license-free bands appear promising, they still have certain bandwidth and range limitations. The advantage of FSO communication over Fiber Optic communication (FO) is that, there is no time and money wasting trench digging involved, for laying the optical fiber cables underground and no acquiring of road digging permission from the municipality , because the optical carrier signal travels through the atmosphere. Optical wireless (FSO) can augment RF and milli meter wave links with very high (>1 Gb/s) bandwidth. In fact, it is widely believed that optical wireless is best suited for multi-Gb/s communication. As this is a telecommunication technology that transmits data in the form of optical signals across the air and, as such, can be considered as a wireless (line-of-sight) transmission system; which is being capable of handling data rates at the Gbps level, does not require licensing, and can be deployed at one-fifth of the cost of fiber; also, the narrow beams employed in the transmission of signals are very difficult to be affected by jamming ,interception or interference. This article reviews the FSO Link suitability for achieving reduced error communication. With its high-data-rate capacity and wide bandwidth on unregulated spectrum, FSO communication is a promising solution for the “last mile” problem, however its performance is highly vulnerable to adverse atmospheric conditions. A number of phenomena in the atmosphere, such as absorption, scattering, and turbulence, can affect beam attenuation, but in the case of wavelengths typical of FSO systems operation, only scattering and turbulence are appropriate to be taken into consideration.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to produce the findings of a research project seeking to develop and validate a model for measuring supply chain performance of organized garment retailing in India.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws its conclusions from an analysis of survey data from samples of Indian organized garment retailing practitioners and consultants. The pre-pilot and pilot survey has been done to improve the questionnaire. Later, large scale survey is used to classify key performance indicators and structural equation modeling has been used to develop and validate a model for measuring supply chain performance of organized garment retailing in India.
Findings –The twenty key performance indicators have been arranged to measure the supply chain performance of organized garment retailing. The first most important group of key performance indicator is inventory metrics with seven indicators in this node. This nodal point needs to be supported by another supply chain node, i.e., flexibility metrics with three indicators. Also, keeping in view the customer requirements, customer metrics have developed another nodal point for assessing supply chain performance. This nodal point has the support of six performance indicators. The stakeholder metric presents the final nodal point for assessing supply chain performance. This nodal point uses four indicators and projects the monetary outcome of the business.
Research limitations/implications – Larger-scale empirical studies are required from the top management for enhanced validity. In particular, the explicit comparison of the supply chain performance of major firms is recommended for future research. Also, there is a need to compare organized and unorganized garment retailing sector for gap analysis.
Originality/value – This is the first study to systematically develop and validated a model for measuring supply chain performance of organized

Abstract:
DC motors have been widely used in the electromechanical systems due to its simple structure, ease of implementing variable speed control and low cost. In high accuracy servo control system, high control performance of DC motor is needed. DC motors have traditionally been modelled as IInd order linear system, which ignores the dead nonlinear zone of the motor. Unfortunately, the dead zone caused by the nonlinear friction would bring great effect to servo systems. This paper studies the non linear model of the DC motor and the effects of different types of friction in determining motor dynamics at low speeds using modelling and simulation with MATLAB simulink.

Abstract:
This paper contextualizes an idea of implementing an Interactive touch sensitive user interface. It is an optical touch sensing technique and architecture that allows precision sensing of hands, fingers, and other objects within a constrained 2-dimensional plane. This paper gives the details of the touch panel - a hardware and software based architecture for multi-touch sensing. This is a flat-panel optical multi-touch scheme using a linear array of modulated light receivers which surround the periphery of a display to detect touch. It is a point-to-point visual hull sensing technology, meaning it uses much of modulated infrared sensors and many IR LEDs [4] (940nm) to create a series of invisible light beams that cross the screen. When these beams are being interrupted, it means something has touched the screen, and we can visualize interruption of the beams to reconstruct the visual hull of any objects inside the sensor frame. This way the touch interrupt occurred is first transformed into an image with several scan lines and then many such images make a video clip (which contains the information of the touch point/ Blob) which is theninterfaced with the Image processing software for the Blob detection [15] and Mouse cursor control [17].

Platelet transfusion is given in those patients who is either bleeding or having haemorrhagic symptoms along with thrombocytopenia. The study was conducted in the Vijayanagar Institute Of Medical Sciences (VIMS), Blood Bank, Bellary between September 2012 to November 2012 for a period of 3 months. A total of 264 patient attenders were interviewed who had come to the blood bank with a requisition for platelet concentrate. By seeing the locality and monthly income, 190(72%) of the individuals belonged to low-socioeconomic group and 74(28%) belonged to high-socioeconomic group. Public health educational campaign targeting hot-spot areas could be a logical approach to minimize the impact of the disease. Judicious use of platelet concentrate is suggested as the disease is more prevalent in low-socioeconomic group.

Abstract:
Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic debilitating disease of oral mucosa and is characterized by generalized fibrosis of the oral soft tissues which tends to present itself clinically as palpable vertical fibrous bands. Traditionally, stains such as van- Geison and various forms of trichrome have been used to detect collagen fibres in tissues. Thick and thin collagen fibres play a vital role in maintaining connective tissue integrity. However, both these stains fail to reveal thin collagen fibres. A special stain- picrosirius red stain (PSR) that stained both thin and thick collagen fibres was used in this study. Thus, the present study is to demonstrate the orientation and color of collagen fibres in different grades of oral sub mucous fibrosis and normal mucosa and observed under polarized microscope. However, correlation to the grading of OSF will help in determining the changes in the connective tissue which precedes the neoplastic change in epithelium.

Abstract:
Introduction and objective: The mastoid air cell system represents a more or less extensive system of interconnecting air filled cavities arising from the mastoid and walls of middle ear. Based on the density of mastoid air cells it has been described as sclerotic (absence of pneumatisation), diploic type (partially pneumatised), pneumatic (totally pneumatised). The pneumatised type were further described as squamomastoid, perilabrynthine, petromastoid and accessory (occipital). The knowledge regarding the status of pneumatisation of mastoid process is very essential for otologists while performing surgeries like cochlear implant, drainage of mastoid abscess, middle ear surgeries
Materials and method: In the present study 50 dried skulls of south Indian origin (males =28 , females = 22) of age more than 50 yrs were studied in detail by computerized tomography. Hence details regarding pneumatisation were observed in 100 mastoid processes. The extent and type of pneumatisation were recorded and analysed.
Results: observations revealed incidence of squamamastoid type was seen in 74 cases, petromastoid type in 12 cases, perilabrynthine in 12 cases , sclerous type in 2 cases and accessory nil.
Conclusion: Mastoid process is frequently approached by otologists to perform mastoidectomy, cochlear implant placement in neural deafness and in some of the middle ear surgeries.

Abstract:
Multiplication is frequently required in digital signal processing. Parallel multipliers provide a high-speed method for multiplication, but require large area for VLSI implementations. In most signal processing applications, a rounded product is desired to avoid growth in word size. Thus an important design goal is to reduce the area requirement of the rounded output multiplier. This paper presents a method for parallel multiplication which computes the products of two n-bit numbers by summing only the most significant columns with a variable correction method. This paper also presents a comparative study of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation of 8X8 standard and truncated multipliers using Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL). Truncated multipliers can be used in finite impulse response (FIR) and discrete cosine transforms (DCT). The truncated multiplier shows much more reduction in device utilization as compared to standard multiplier. Significant reduction in FPGA resources, delay, and power can be achieved using truncated multipliers instead of standard parallel multipliers when the full precision of the standard multiplier is not required.

Abstract:
The present study assesses the prevalence and pattern of risk-taking behavior among youth aged 15-24 years in Dimapur, Nagaland. Using a self administered questionnaire, we collected information on risk-taking behavior from 300 youth. Simple bivariate analysis was used in the study.
Prevalence of current use of tobacco and alcohol use is high among youth. It is observed that young people start initiating into risk-taking behavior, early, during their teenage years. Initiating to smoking behavior is found to happen earlier than initiating into alcohol use or initiating sexual act (18.2 years). There is a gender differential in terms of engaging in risk-taking behaviors. Boys are found to initiate into risk-taking behavior earlier than girls and represent more in risk-taking behaviors. Childhood exposure to alcohol use is also found to be significantly associated with alcohol use pattern.
Programs should aim at reducing early childhood exposure to alcohol by addressing the avoidance of consumption or use of alcohol in the presence of childhood. There should also be programs that educates youth about various adverse effects of engaging in risk-taking behavior and to impart refusal skills.

Abstract:
Solid waste refers to the refuse , the solid and semi solid waste matters of a community except the night soil . Solid waste contains organic as well as inorganic matters . Solid waste management includes the entire process of dealing with solid waste ,starting from the collection from the primary source to ultimately disposing off it hygienically, so that it may not be a nuisance or create any harmful effect on near by community .The solid waste management involves , management at waste generation level , storage at the source of generation , primary collection , street cleansing , temporary storage at locality level , regular and periodic transportation of this temporarily collected waste to disposing sites and treatment plants.
As per Municipal solid waste Management and Handling rules -2000 , solid waste management is in the obligatory function of urban local bodies , but in actual practice the solid waste management is given the last priority and the duties are either not performed or poorly performed consequently the city has to face numerable problems related to environment and sanitation .
As per the reports of the committee constituted by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in March 99 , the lack of financial resources , inefficient institutional arrangement , inappropriate technology , weak legislative measures and unawareness in public towards solid waste management has made the service most unsatisfactory and inefficient .
The solid waste management approach in India is extremely inefficient , using old and obsolete system , technology for storage collection processing ,treatment and disposal . There is no formal organized system of segregation of biodegradable and non biodegradable solid waste . The recovery

Abstract:
In many high speed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and multimedia applications, the multiplier plays a very important role because it dominates the chip power consumption and operation speed. In DSP applications, in order to avoid infinite growth of multiplication bit width, it is necessary to reduce the number of multiplication products. Cutting off n-bit Less Significant Bit (LSB) output can construct a fixed width multiplier with n-bit input and n-bit output. However, truncating the LSB part leads to a large number of truncation errors. In order to avoid truncation error, error compensation circuit is designed with less truncation error and less hardware over head. A new error compensation circuit by using the dual group minor input correction vector to lower input correction vector compensation error is proposed. As compared with the conventional multiplier, the proposed fixed width modified booth multiplier performs not only with lower compensation error but also with lower hardware complexity, especially as multiplier input bits increase. In the proposed fixed width multiplier, the truncation error can be lowered compared with the direct truncated multiplier and the transistor count can be reduced compared with the full length multiplier.

The cloud data processing is the vision of the data processing as value, in which cloud consumer possibly its data into the cloud environment over enjoying the first-class quality servers and the fast nets, into which applications store and into the services of a divided pool of configurable operational resources. The advantages of the cloud data processing technology of the cloud cover need self-service mode, everywhere net entrance, independent resources of the location, which combine, fast resource elasticity, wages per the use, which on price estimation - resides, the transfer of the risk, etc... It is large flexibility and economic savings is motivated individuals and the enterprises to outsource to their local complex cloud data environment administration system in the cloud. The security of the data in the cloud is at present a very hot topic. Most enterprises, which still possess sensitive metadata, hesitates „handed over “its data to the cloud. Data security is one of the principal reasons for this dislike. However substantial security is to guarantee resources, which use and therefore expensively. On the other hand it gives customers, who demand only warranties of basic security, since their data are less sensitive. This project can have taken place in two parts: like a first part of the project for the analysis of the present problems and the approaches of data security in the cloud; and as the second subproject for a detailed analysis of the development of a model for the treatment of data security in the cloud.

Abstract:
In recent years, power demand has increased substantially while the expansion of power generation and transmission has been severely limited due to limited resources and environmental restrictions. Transient stability control plays a significant role in ensuring the stable operation of power systems in the event of large disturbances and faults, and is thus a significant area of research. Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers have been mainly used for solving various power system steady state control problems. FACTS devices are capable of controlling the active and reactive power flows in a transmission line by controlling its series and shunt parameters. This paper presents a review of comparison of different FACTS controllers in the power system for stability enhancement. Benefits of FACTS controllers to power system are also discussed.

Abstract:
A modified resonant transition switching technique for Buck converter using coupled inductor is proposed in this paper. The principle of operation of this converter is analysed in detail. An additional winding is added on the same core of the main inductor for the purpose of commutation. By using current control, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) conditions are ensured over wide load range. The main inductor current is kept in continuous conduction mode (CCM) with small ripple, which allows high output power and small filter parameters. Also, the switching frequency is kept constant when load changes. The simulation results are presented and they verify the analysis.

Abstract:
Today, the Internet has melted into our daily lives with more and more services being moved on-line. While we enjoy the convenience, we are putting ourselves at risk. Most current commercial websites will ask their users to input their user identifications (IDs) and corresponding passwords for authentication. Once a users ID and the corresponding password are stolen by an adversary, the adversary can do anything with the victims account, leading to a disaster for the victim. As a consequence of increasing concerns over such risks, how to protect users passwords on the web is becoming more and more critical. To solve this we propose an hybrid authentication system with fingerprint using Efficient Biohashing algorithm to maintain very low error rate than existing algorithms and text compression using AES algorithm.

Abstract:
Spectrum analysis is very essential requirement in instrumentation and communication signal interception. Spectrum analysis is normally carried out by online or offline FFT processing. The Goertzel algorithm is a digital signal processing (DSP) technique for identifying frequency components of a signal. While the general Fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm computes evenly across the bandwidth of the incoming signal, the Goertzel algorithm looks at specific, predetermined frequency. The FPGA being capable of offering high frequency data paths become suitable for realizing high speed spectrum analysis algorithms. The objective of this thesis is implementing Goertzel algorithm as high Q band pass filter on FPGA reconfigurable architecture. A digital frequency synthesizer produces frequency sweep which will drive the digital mixer. The digital mixer output is given to the Goertzel algorithm block. This algorithm output will be given to peak detection logic. The peak detector block output will be used for spectrum computation. The top level module integrates all these modules with appropriate clock and control circuitry. The results will be demonstrated by applying the deterministic signals such as sine wave and also with random band limited signals. It will be aimed to achieve 32 steps in the band of operation for spectrum computation on Spartan 3E low cost FPGA.

Abstract:
Mining of frequent item sets is one of the most fundamental problems in data mining applications. My proposed algorithm which guides the seller to select the best attributes of a new product to be inserted in the database so that it stands out in the existing competitive products, due to budget constraints there is a limit, say m, on the number of attribute that can be selected for the entry into the database. Although the problems are NP complete. The Approximation algorithm are based on greedy heuristics. My proposed algorithm performs effectively and generates the frequent item sets faster.

Abstract:
This paper also proposes a generic framework for monitoring continuous spatial queries over moving objects. The framework distinguishes itself from existing work by being the first to address the location update issue and to provide a common interface for monitoring mixed types of queries. We propose algorithms for query evaluation/reevaluation and for safe region computation in this framework. In this paper we address two issues first issue We show that existing approaches may fail to provide spatial anonymity for some distributions of user locations and describe a novel technique which solves this problem and second issue We propose Prive, a decentralized architecture for preserving the anonymity of users issuing spatial queries to LBS. Mobile users self organize into an overlay network with good fault tolerance and load balancing properties. The most important concept of PAM, it is used to the frequently encountered type of query in geographic information system is to find the k nearest neighbor objects to given point in space. In a mobile service scenario, users query a server for nearby points of interest but they may not want to disclose their locations to the service.

Abstract:
Fetal ECG is an important parameter in medical field. Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) identifies the congenital heart problems at the earlier stage. Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) signal is extracted from blood pressure mothers abdomen. FECG signal is recorded at the thoracic and abdominal area of blood pressure mothers skin. The thoracic ECG is considered to be completely maternal ECG (MECG) of blood pressure mother. The abdominal ECG is considered to be a combination of blood pressure mother’s ECG signals and foetus ECG signals and random noise. The maternal component of abdominal ECG is a nonlinear transformed version of the Maternal ECG. The method Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used to identify the nonlinear transformation of maternal ECG. For identifying the nonlinear transformation and the FECG is extracted by subtracting the non linear version of the MECG signal from the abdominal ECG signal. ANFIS is trained with particle swarm optimization for better quality of signal. This method can be validated on both real and synthetic ECG signals. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of extracting the FECG from blood pressure mothers maternal ECG.

Abstract:
Income is the most crucial index for accelerating economic growth and development in any meaningful developmental strategy. In the Indian socio-economic context, income generation assumes great significance for women, especially rural women. Women constitute more than fifty per cent of the worlds population, one third of the labour force, and perform nearly two thirds of all working hours. Womens income in a family is of paramount importance for nutritional, economic and educational upliftment of the family. Changing times has brought new interests and responsibilities into a womens life and it is now admitted that womens income is indispensable not only for survival of individual families but for maintenance of wider socio-economic system (Batish and Naurial, 2003).

Abstract:
Saraiki region possesses an ancient history, primeval civilization and cultural heritage. This soil has connections with at primordial era when even the human civilization had not awakened. When the man was inhibiting his dwellings on the banks of the river and watercourses, then the man of earlier period made inconsistent advancement towards the civilized life. Then the human civilization development stared dreaming about civilization and culture the initial stages of awareness in the nomadic life after getting out of the dark and narrow caves, then as a step of development not only the process of agriculture forced the man to abandon nomadic life but also gave them a sense of protection and security from the unfavorable conditions of hunting, the feeling of insecurity and the struggle for his survival. Afterwards he implemented the milk of cattle, honey, fruits, and vegetables as alternative food for the meat of hunted animal: And adopted it as a source of economy on addition to alternative food. The necessity of human indigence, instinct and collaboration brought the human beings, victim of the scattered man in search of hound, close to each other to lay foundations of a human society with the vision of an earlier collective and integrated human congregation. Hence the man advances towards the destiny of evolution and civilization by crossing over the various stages cultural development through wisdom of wakefulness. The entry into the era of agriculture and later on through the discovery of fire, access to the age of copper and bronze, the formulation of the rules and regulations after coming out the earlier traditions and customs, earlier domain of economic, political, trade and social factors presented the human civilization and culture in a universal and interconnected form. As a consequence of this factor the great civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Indus valley got birth. It was the miracle of this human evolution that the art and craft also commenced

Abstract:
Nature is so fascinating and embodies the spirit of its creator. The soft green leaf moving gently in the breeze, the drop of dew quivering on the petal of a rose, all are so enthralling, No less in the child with his hazel eyes, silken hair, rosy cheeks, toothless mouth and tender skin. His father the man too is very handsome and perhaps most unique creation of God. God has created all things alone with nature as well as man. Man depended, depending and would depend on the plants, animals and other natural resources for food, clothing, housing, medicine and what not! But unlimited exploitation of nature by man disturbed the ecological balance to that extent that has threatened the survival of man himself.
Environmental problems cannot be solved within a day or two. It requires rigorous efforts at school level. The present study examined the effect of socio and psychogenic factors on environmental friendly behaviour among todays youth. In order to make them realize their own responsibilities toward environment, this is a crucial time to realize that environmental sensitivity and environment friendly behaviour should be cultivated among masses particularly among youth. Environment friendly behaviour is any action of an individual or a group directed towards the remediation of environmental issues/ problems.
Thus, environmental education policies fund both teacher training and worker training initiatives. Teachers must be trained to effectively teach and incorporate environmental studies in their curricula. On the other hand, the current workforce must be trained or re-trained so that they can adapt to the new green economy. Environmental education policies that fund training programs are critical in educating citizens to prosper in a sustainable society.

Abstract:
This study analyses the market behavior and price discovery in Indian Agriculture Commodity Markets. Commodity future trading was permitted in 2003. The commodity derivatives market in India has witnessed a phenomenal growth. The functioning of future market came under scrutiny during 2008-2009 due to price rise and the role of futures market in stabilizing spot prices was widely studied.
The study considered average monthly spot and future prices of nine agriculture commodities viz. wheat, chana, soybean oil, jute, mentha oil ,rubber, potato, crude palm oil and cardamom trading on MCX and NCDEX during 2009-2010.
Granger causality test have been used to test the price discovery i.e., the effect of future market on spot market and vice-versa. The market behavior was studied with the help of backwardation and contango.
The result of the study says that the price discovery mechanism is quite different for different commodities but it suggests that causality can be used in forecasting spot and futures prices. Most of the commodities showed bi-directional causality between spot and future prices. The contango and backwardation helps in identifying the hedging opportunities in the market.
The research field taken for the study is Indian Agriculture Commodity Market.

Abstract:
Colorization is a term used to describe a computerized process for adding color to black and white pictures, movies or TV programs. This process can also be used to convert the gray scale medical images to their colorized version, as color increases the visual appeal of an image and it also makes medical visualization more attractive. In the medical field, there used plenty of images especially X-Rays like dental, chest, leg, hand X-Rays and MRI Images. In this paper, we apply colorization based on optimization to colorize medical images and also evaluate its performance in terms of information loss using three proposed correlation coefficient parameters.

Abstract:
As we all know the fuel prices especially the petrol is rising steadily day by day. Again the pollution due to vehicles in metro cities & urban areas is increasing continuously. To overcome these problems, an effort is being made to search some other alternative sources of energy for the vehicles. Again, it is also not affordable to purchase vehicles (mopeds, scooters or motorcycles) for all the class of society. Keeping this in mind, a search for some way to cater these economically poor people as well as to provide a solution for the environmental pollution was in progress. The solar assisted bicycle developed is driven by DC motor fitted in front or rear axle housing & operated by solar energy. The solar panels mounted on the carriage will charge the battery & which in turn drive the hub motor. When the bicycle is idle, the solar panel will charge the battery. This arrangement will replace the petrol engine, the gear box & the fuel tank in case of a two wheeler or a chain sprocket, chain & gear shifting arrangement of a conventional bicycle being used by most common man. [9] As a part of dissertation work, the solar assisted bicycle is fitted with a dc hub motor on front axle of a bicycle with power rating of 250W and with a travelling speed of around 25-30 kmph. It is provided with a pair of lead acid batteries of 35 Ah each, a photovoltaic solar panel with capacity of 20 watt, a voltage regulator of 24v 10 Amp, accelerator and motor controller of 24v 25Amp. There is also a provision for charging of the battery with 220-240V, AC wall outlet supply, in case of poor solar supply due to cloudy weather. [4]
