Abstract: A new explanation of the nature of gravity is presented in this article. It interprets gravity as a property of mass to deform and absorb space cells around it, creating space flows towards any massive body. The notion of space flows can change perception not only of gravity but also of the many other phenomena of physics such as repulsion of particles or movement of peripheral parts of galaxies, strong or weak forcers, and so on. In the first part of this paper, proposed model of gravity is confirmed by a derivation of inverse square Newton’s law for gravitational force using the basic principles of this theory. In the second part, this model of gravitation is developed further and complemented with the main equation of space cells movement, which links a speed of space cells with their linear size.

Abstract: This paper proposes color image compression method using hybrid wavelet transform and compares it with results obtained using hybrid transform and multi-resolution analysis. Haar wavelet is widely used in image compression. So here Haar transform is selected as base transform and combined with non-sinusoidal transforms like Slant, Walsh and Kekre transform. Hybrid Haar wavelet transforms is generated using Kekre’s hybrid wavelet generation algorithm. Different sizes of component transforms are used to generate hybrid wavelet transform. Haar (32x32)-Slant (8x8) gives less error as compared to Haar-Walsh and Haar-Kekre Hybrid wavelet. Performance of hybrid wavelet is compared with hybrid transform and multi-resolution by varying the size of component transforms. Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Average Fractional Change in Pixel Value (AFCPV) are used to compare visual quality of an image. Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of Haar-Slant hybrid wavelet is computed on 16x16 blocked images and compared with its hybrid transform and multi-resolution analysis. Least RMSE value obtained at compression ratio 32 by Haar-Slant hybrid wavelet with size 32-8 is 10.53. Mean absolute error is 7.32 in Haar-Slant hybrid wavelet with component size 16-16. Least AFCPV is 0.344 with component size 32-8 for the same.

Abstract: There are many problems of congestion with traffic light in many cities. This problem of congestion can be caused by long time delays of traffic light’s Red light. When there are emergency case at traffic light intersection which are always busy with many vehicles, this problem can also be caused. The possibilities of traffic jams caused by traffic light can reduce by using the Programmable Integrated Circuit (PIC) 16F877A microcontroller. The intended system is to change the sequence back to the normal sequence after triggering for the emergency modes by using the controller. Many accidents which often happen at the traffic light intersections will be reduced because of using this system.

Abstract: Deep web comprises the online database, which generates web pages dynamically in response to a user query. The extracted data is used for many applications like meta querying and comparison shopping. For these applications the data is embedded in HTML pages. The automatic data extraction is necessary for utilizing these data. Only when the data are extracted and organized in a structured manner, such as tables, they can be compared and aggregated. An effective data extraction and alignment approach is used which utilizes both tag and value similarity in a web page. This method automatically extracts data from query result pages by identifying and segmenting the query result records (QRRs) in a query result page. The segmented QRRs are arranged in a table accordingly with data values from the same attribute.

Abstract: Phosphate ester hydrolysis plays a very important role in many biological processes. The present investigation belongs to study of kinetic behavior of acid catalyzed hydrolysis of mono-6-chloro-2, 4-dinitroaniline phosphate in 0.1-7.0 mol dm-3 HCl at 50oC in aqueous medium. The log rate profile shows that the rate of reaction increases up to 4.0 mol dm-3 HCl. The results show that mono-6-chloro-2, 4-dinitroaniline phosphate is reactive mainly via conjugated acid species. Positive salt effect has been exhibited through ionic strength data. Behavior of molecularity and order of reaction have been estimated by the use of different concepts and hypothesis, such as Hammett acidity function, Zucker-Hammett hypothesis, Bunnett, Bunett-Olsen and Arrhenius parameters. Isokinetic relationship has been applied to propose probable reaction mechanism for the hydrolysis. Experimental rate coefficients have been found to agree well with theoretical rates in the entire acid range.

Abstract: A Closed loop Boost dc-dc converter with novel capabilities of fuzzy logic controller is proposed, which mainly meant for constant power loads. The fuzzy logic controller controls the system to achieve constant output as per the requirement of the load. Due to the variation of input voltage and load current, a two stage ZVT boost converter with series resonant convertor is used to give supply to the load. The selected converter has the advantage of No duty cycle loss, wide zero voltage switching (ZVS) range, No ringing problem of the rectifier. The closed loop system is developed in such a way that, it provides necessary corrections for any slight variation in system output. The advantage of fuzzy logic improved the system efficiency in terms of accuracy compared to other conventional controllers. The system suits for electrolyzer.

Abstract: This paper deals with the design of aluminum alloy wheel for automobile application which is carried out paying special reference to optimization of the mass of the wheel. The Finite Element analysis t shows that the optimized mass of the wheel rim could be reduced to around 50% as compared to the existing solid disc type Al alloy wheel. The FE analysis shows that the stress generated in the optimized component is well below the actual yield stress of the Al alloy. The Fatigue life estimation by finite element analysis, under radial fatigue load condition, is carried out to analyze the stress distribution and resulted displacement in the alloy wheels. S-N curve of the component depicts that the endurance limit is 90 MPa which is well below the yield stress of the material and safe for the application. The FE analysis indicated that even after a fatigue cycle of 1020, the damage on the wheel is found only 0.2%.

Abstract: Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), transmitting signals on different wavelength channels simultaneously through an optical fiber, is rapidly becoming a technology-of-choice to meet the tremendous bandwidth demand of the next generation wide-area networks. Wavelength Converters are still very expensive. Hence, it is desirable that just a limited amount of Wavelength Converters are used in the whole network. In this case, a vital question arises: how many converters are enough and where to place these converters. This motivated to do the research in the wavelength converter placement problem. Hence to define the research solution rather than applying conventional methods, intelligence based approach is taken. Fundamentally the concepts inspired by nature like Evolutionary Computation.

Abstract: Depression literally means the state of being pushed down. It is commonly used to refer to emotional states of sadness, despair, numbness, emptiness, hopelessness and feelings of blue. Mood is a pervasive and sustained feeling that is experienced internally which influences the person’s behavior and his/her perception of the world. In such condition it is proven that the impact of illness on the personality variables. Very few studies were presented based on Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAQ). Current study seeks to establish the profile of depressive individuals on personality questionnaire. We assessed (n=43) depressive patients and (n=45) control group using CAQ. It was found that the patients with depressing are tend to score high in clinical scales like schizophrenia index (Sc) and show negative correlation on personality variable like Dominance (E), and Impulsivity (F).

Abstract: The presence of peroxidase enzyme in four locally grown bean varieties, red beans, Bambara beans, black-eyed beans and soybeans was demonstrated. The enzyme showed a much higher activity at elevated temperatures than at room temperature with peak activity at about 50°C. The activity of the enzyme appears to be highly dependent on the pH of the medium. The optimum pH for the enzyme from all bean extracts is about 6 but the extract from bambara beans was shown to maintain its activity over a wider range of pHs than the rest. Such stability will make peroxidase from Bambara beans a useful enzyme for applications at higher pH as may be found in certain wastewaters.

Abstract: A key challenge for data warehouse security is how to manage the entire system coherently – from sources and their export tables, to warehouse stored tables (conventional and cubes) and views defined over the warehouse. Permissions on the warehouse must satisfy the restrictions of the data owners, and be updated quickly as those local concerns evolve. Yet the system cannot demand extensive administrator time, since there are too few people with both technical skills to understand derivation logic, and business skills to balance security versus accessibility. Security aspects should be considered in the design phase of the data warehouse to better match the security requirements and to avoid later fundamental,cost-intensive adaptations. For the identification of security requirements legal, audit, network and other issues have to be considered.

Abstract: A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a large collection sensor node with limited memory, battery and processing capacity. Due to this limited resources the energy conservation plays important role in wireless sensor networks. We formulate optimization problem for dynamically determining the best redundancy level to apply to multipath routing for intrusion tolerance so that query success probability maximized while prolonging system useful lifetime. In redundancy management “packet dropping” and “Bad mouthing” are the major problems in managing the redundancy. In order sort out these problems we plan to propose “weighted voting” based trust management method is used to achieve best energy efficiency. The main function of weighted voting method is to find the trust/reputation of neighbor nodes.

Abstract: The paper deals with the spectroscopic studies of sol-gel systems doped with rare-earth ions and co-doped with chromium. Doped samples of Nd3+: Cr3+ silica zero gels and silica glasses were prepared from hydrolysis and poly-condensation of precursor solution Tetra Ethyl Ortho Silicate (TEOS), which allows incorporation of specifications by sol-gel method. The xero gels were characterized by XRD, TGA, FTIR & UV/VIS absorption spectra. The intensity and the behavior of the radiation-induced bands are seen to depend on the type of the 3d- transition metal in presence of Neodymium. The host silicate glass shows the stabilizing effect due to increase of more color centers on Gamma Radiation. Reduction in spectroscopic parameters (Racaah and naphelauxetic ratio) confirmed the increase in covalent character of the transition metal ion in the silica matrix due to irradiation.

Abstract: Glucoamylases are important enzymes that allow the hydrolysis of starch and related polymers to glucose. They can be obtained from microbial as well as other sources. Studies were conducted with two fungal isolates, Aspergillus niger MENA1E and Rhizopus MENACO11A obtained locally from infected plant materials to assess their potential in producing glucoamylase. The organisms were grown on four substrates: wheat bran, rice bran, groundnut pod and maize bran. Glucoamylase was produced by both organisms on all four substrates. The highest glucoamylase activities of 2.0 U and 1.99 U respectively for Aspergillus niger MENA1E and Rhizopus MENACO11A were recorded after 48 hours on wheat bran. Significant activities of the enzyme were also produced on the other wastes studied in this report.

Abstract: Assessment has necessarily become the vehicle and engine that drives the delivery of education and other related educational processes. It is a truism that ‘what is assessed becomes what is valued, which becomes what is taught’ (Broadfoot, 2004). Governments across the globe have realized the potential of educational assessment in engendering the much coveted educational goal of enhanced pupil learning. Impact of alternative assessment forms on pupils learning can be discerned from the fact that this framework of assessment is popularly called as assessment for learning.

Abstract: Bulk thallium based superconductors with nominal starting composition of (Tl2-xMbxBa2Ca2Cu3Ox ) were prepared through a solid-solid reaction technique. A Ba-Ca-Cu-O precursor was made for this purpose by mixing and grinding the stoichiometric amounts of BaCO3, CaCO3 and CuO followed by sintering at 850oC. Finally, appropriate amounts of MoO2 and Tl2O3 were added to the precursor and the whole mixture was calcined at 950oC under oxygen flow. Different phases including the high- Tl-2223, Tl-2212, Tl-1223, Tl-1212 phases were formed in the resulting compound. Some other phases were also found when the Tl to Mo ratio was changed from 1.6 : 0.4 to 1 : 1 in Tl1.6Mo0.4Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox superconductor. From the resistivity measurements, the critical temperature Tc(0) for the compound was found to around 89 K. The doping of Molibdenum (Mo) in Tl-cuprates induces pairing mechanisms to occur outside the CuO2 layers and thus reducing high-Tc phase formation and hence the Tc(0) value.

Abstract: In Cellular networks, blocking occurs when a base station has no free channel to allocate to a mobile user. When a user moves from one cell to another then sometimes handover does not exist and call blocking occurs. Handover is the process when call transfers from one cell to another. In case of complete Handover blocking does not takes place. There are some techniques to remove call blocking such as Handover Prioritization Schemes, Auxiliary station, Guard Channel Prioritization Schemes, Call Admission Control Prioritization Schemes, Handover Queuing Prioritization Schemes. The main goal of this research paper is to investigate the handover research issues and developing schemes which can handle handovers traffic in order to support on-going calls when mobile users are switching between base stations.

Abstract: Self prescribing practices has become a substantial area in health sector due to mal-practices. This study was undertaken to determine the knowledge and perceptions of undergraduate students at University of Peradeniya about the Paracetamol usage by self medication practices. A pre validated questionnaire was administered to 273 randomly selected students in all five courses of Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, University of Peradeniya. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regressions were used in data analysis. Associations were evaluated using chi square tests. From all the respondents, 67.4 % were female and 32.6 % were male students. And most of the students were in the age range of 22 – 24years. Most of the respondents were not engaged in exercises or sports. Although self prescription pattern was followed by highest proportion of the study population, the disadvantages of this practice were emphasized by 65 % of students. Main practical reason reported for self prescribing of Paracetamol is having a good knowledge to use it properly and potential source of acquiring Paracetamol was pharmacies and retail shops. “Paracetamol should be taken with a doctor’s prescription” was reported to be the main overall concept of majority of students enrolled in all five courses and majority of students reported that self practicing of Paracetamol was harmful. The study determined that self prescription pattern in the use of Paracetamol is more common than doctor’s prescription practice among Allied Health Sciences students.

Abstract: The Distributed Data Mining (DDM) is a branch of the field of data mining that offers a framework to mine distributed data paying careful attention to the distributed data and computing resources. Usually, data-mining systems are designed to work on a single dataset. On the other hand with the growth of networks, data is increasingly dispersed over many machines in many different geographical locations. Also, even as most practical data-mining algorithms operate over propositional representations are known as first order learning. In existing system, the concept of knowledge is very important in data mining. In order to get the correct knowledge from the data mining system, the user must define the objective and specify the algorithms and its parameters exactly with minimum effort. If the data mining system produces large number of meaningful information by using a specialized data mining algorithm like association, clustering, decision trees etc., it will take more time for the end- users to choose the appropriate knowledge for the problem discussed. Even choosing the correct data mining algorithm involves more time for the system. Developing a data mining system that uses specialized agents with the ability to communicate with multiple information sources, as well as with other agents requires a great deal of flexibility. The main objective of this paper titled on “An Analysis on Multi-Agent Based Distributed Data Mining System“ describes the knowledge integration, Knowledge Integration in Distributed Data-Mining and Heterogeneous vs. Homogeneous Data-Mining, a literature survey of Multi-Agent Based Distributed Data Mining System, a Model Of Multi –Agent System Based Data Mining, the improving DDM performance by combining distributed data mining and multi-agent system and Data Mining using Multiple Agents.

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) plays a vital role in different structured applications such as health scrutinizing, ecological observing in industries, farms, colonized areas and so on. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) engage numerous sensor nodes for data transmission with inadequate power. Due to lower cost property of wireless sensors, the degree of usability is also large in vast applications. Sensor networks are group of sensor nodes which forward sensed data to base station responsively. As sensor nodes are supported by battery, a proper utilization of energy is crucial to use networks for prolong lifetime. Hence, the challenge lies in reduce the sensor network traffic, collision found inside the network, and reduce degree of data that need to send to base station. The main objective of data aggregation algorithms is to collect and aggregate data in a proficient way so that network lifetime is enhanced. Most preferred manner to extend lifetime, reduce time and cost during data transmission enhances the WSN. One such technique is data aggregation, a more interesting approach for data collecting in shared environment and active access through wireless connectivity.

Abstract: Since the defects causes high rejection rates, it is important to move any production process in the direction of eliminating all imperfections as a part of an effective continuous improvement program. Forging process is no exception to this. In present study, the various forging defects that occur in the components during closed-die hot forging process are investigated initially. The investigation is done with the help of Quality Assurance department in a forging industry. During investigation, the various defects that causes high rejection rates are identified and unfilling defect which has major contribution in high rejection rate is selected for study purpose. The fish-bone diagram is used to explore the possible causes of unfilling defect, through a brainstorming session. It is observed that the three process parameters having major responsibility to fill the job weight. These parameters are- billet weight, heating temperature, and heating time. The best combination of these process parameters must be followed during the production process in order to reduce the rejection rate due to unfilling forging defect. To get the best parameter combination, DOE technique (like Taguchi method) is the most powerful approach. But before going to use Taguchi method, it is very much necessary to determine the effect of selected process parameters on output. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present the effect/influence of selected process parameters on filling the job weight. For this purpose, OVAT analysis is used here. Engineers and Scientists often perform OVAT experiments, which consists of varying only one factor or variable at a time with keeping others constant.

Abstract: Zinc is an essential micronutrient which plays a macro role in the growth and productivity of the plants. Zinc (Zn) deficiency hinders metabolic and physiological activity in plants due to its inevitable role as an enzyme cofactor. Many Indian soil exhibit Zn deficiency with the content much below the critical level of 1.5ppm. The conditions that make unavailability of zinc to plants are high pH, low organic matter content, high usage of P fertilizer, less textured soil and utilization of synthetic fertilizer to correct Zn deficiency which results in unavailability of zinc after seven days of application. An alternative eco-friendly approach to overcome Zn deficiency constraint in plants is by the application of microbial inoculants as a biofertilizer. Rhizospheric microorganisms play a vital role in the conversion of unavailable form of metal to available form through solubilization mechanism.

Abstract: Seamless roaming over wireless network is highly desirable to mobile users, and security such as authentication of mobile users is challenging. Recently, due to tamper-resistance and convenience in managing a password file, some smart card based secure authentication schemes have been proposed. This paper shows some security weaknesses in those schemes. As the main contribution of this paper, a secure and light-weight authentication scheme with user anonymity is presented. It is simple to implement for mobile user since it only performs a symmetric encryption/decryption operation. Having this feature, it is more suitable for the low-power and resource-limited mobile devices. In addition, it requires four message exchanges between mobile user, foreign agent and home agent. Thus, this protocol enjoys both computation and communication efficiency as compared to the well-known authentication schemes. As a special case, we consider the authentication protocol when a user is located in his/her home network.

Abstract: In data processing processors, adder is a basic digital circuit. To perform any arithmetic operation, addition is the basic operation to perform. To compute fast arithmetic operations adder must be fastest. CSLA is the fastest adder when compare to RCA and CLA. From the structure of CSLA it is observed that there is a scope to reduce area further so that power can be lowered [3-4]. This paper proposes a new architecture of CSLA using reconfigurable adder structures (RAS) and is compared with regular SQRT CSLA, CSLA using BEC [7]. The experimental analysis shows that the proposed CSLA using RAS is having advantages regarding area and power.

Abstract: Supply of uninterrupted sinusoidal voltage of constant magnitude is the most important aim of the electrical distribution system, but this task is very tough and is becoming more difficult due to the increasing size and number of nonlinear and poor power factor loads. Some of the most important causes of poor power quality is harmonics and high neutral current. Harmonics and neutral current deteriorate power quality as well as affect the system at large and makes significant impact. In this paper a control scheme based on PI controller has been proposed for generation of reference current to mitigate the harmonics and neutral current for two different topologies. The proposed methodology not only reduces the complexity but also offers simplicity to implement and increases reliability of the system. Analysis and simulation of three phase four wire shunt active power filter under balanced and unbalanced load condition have been done using MATLAB/ SIMULINK and detailed simulation level results have been presented to validate the proposed methodology.

Abstract: The operation of airports results in environmental impacts associated with high levels of different noise. These may have severe and negative effects on surrounding residents. Aircraft noise is a significant and critical component of the aviation global economic infrastructure. If there is to be growth in aviation, the environmental impacts of aviation must be mitigated. In this paper, a model for the noise pollution of IKIA has been calibrated with the use of noise forecasting software. The calculated model is based on operations and flight data recorded by the airport. The flight data include the type and number of aircrafts, number of runways, etc. which depend on day-time and night- time operations. The results of this model explain the land use of airport and finally explain some methods for decreasing the effects of noise pollution of airport like enforcement of appropriate environmental regulations on the airliners.

Abstract: Transmission lines, among the other electrical power system components, suffer from unexpected failures due to various random causes. These failures interrupt the reliability of the operation of the power system. When unpredicted faults occur protective systems are required to prevent the propagation of these faults and safeguard the system against the abnormal operation resulting from them. The functions of these protective systems are to detect and classify faults as well as to determine the location of the faulty line as in the voltage and/or current line magnitudes Then after the protective relay sends a trip signal to a circuit breaker(s) in order to disconnect (isolate) the faulty line.

Abstract: This paper presents design and implementation of compact microstripline phase shifter at C band frequency range using RT Duroid 5870 substrate. Phase shifters are key elements of beam-steering antennas which are very useful for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and microwave communication system. Phase shifters are used to control the main-beam of the phased array antenna. Microstripline phase shifter is used since it is simple to design and easy to fabricate. The main objective of this paper is to design and implement a phase shifter for four elements linear sub array for SAR application. This phase shifter is provided using different lengths for scan angle 0º to 135º. RT Duroid 5870 substrate is used for its lower insertion loss. The important mathematical calculations for finding the dimensions of all the individual component is done using MATLAB and then individual components are designed and simulated using Ansoft Designer (SV) and Sonnet Lite v13.35. The presented phase shifter is designed to operate in C band frequency range between 4 and 8 GHz and center frequency is 5.3 GHz , with low insertion loss and reflection coefficients. This proposed phase shifter is suitable for a modified class of feeding networks for phased antenna arrays.

Abstract: Many applications require to send the information from the source node to the destination node through the communication network. In order to support these applications, it is necessary to determine a path of minimal cost to connect the source node to the destination node. The TM algorithm and BSMA algorithm has been used in order to find the path that minimizes the total cost. The experimental results show that the algorithm can find optimal solution quickly.

Abstract: A proposed algorithm is using elliptic Fourier series approximation for separating touching grain kernels. Algorithm is based on boundary curvature values. The image acquisition inefficiency can be removed by using image pre-processing techniques and Fourier approximation smoothes the boundary contour which avoids the local pseudo-corners of kernel caused by the presence of rough boundaries. Nodal points separating the touching instances are determined after calculating curvature values along the boundary of kernels. Final nodal points are determined by evaluating the curvature along the boundary of image and selecting those which falls below threshold. With multiple nodal points, the segmentations lines are drawn using nearest-neighbor and critical radian distance difference [rad] of chain coded boundary point. The algorithm uses Breshenham algorithm for drawing segmentation lines. The algorithm appears to be robust enough to separate most of the multiple touching scenarios.

Abstract: Most of the security architecture uses public key cryptosystems for authentication and to secure the communication that takes place on distributes sites. Now a day’s identity based cryptography and certificateless public key cryptography are used for enhancing the security. Certificateless based cryptography has reduced the certificate necessity for key distribution and reducing the problem of key escrow that arise in identity based cryptography. A review based on identity based and certificate less based is carried out to show that how they are beneficial in future for enhancing distributed system security using Elliptic curve cryptography.

Abstract: The paper presents a new approach to interact with real world objects from a distance. This approach is guided with a purpose to modify the attributes of the real world objects and establish communication between multiple such objects using gesture control. The user is required to point the camera of a smartphone at the physical object, the object gets recognised automatically and a graphical user interface (GUI) is mapped onto the smartphone screen. This GUI furbishes the user with multifarious choices to alter the properties of that object. The paper attempts to elucidate the implementation of the system, the functionalities it has to offer and the aspects that make it better than the previous systems.

Abstract: Clustering is the unsupervised classification of patterns (data items) into groups (clusters).Clustering in data mining is very useful to discover distribution patterns in the underlying data. Today, the term "a large dataset" refers to hundreds of terabytes or even petabytes of data. This type of datasets are too difficult to for a clusters. It is typical of scientific investigations to have two phases: the data generation phase, and the data analysis phase. The data generation phase is usually the result of running a large simulation or the collection of data from experiments. It is desirable to design an ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO)[6][4][5] that is not required to solve any hard sub problem but can give nearly optimal solutions for data clustering. The proposed method can obtain optimal solutions quicker via differently favorable strategy. In this paper, we present a new data clustering method for data mining in large databases. Our simulation results show that the proposed Clustering huge datasets(CLHDS) method performs better than the Fast SOM combines K-means approach (FSOM+K-means) and Genetic K-Means Algorithm (GKA,K-Medoids algorithm.

Abstract: Automated tools are used to detect subjective information like attitudes, opinions and feelings. Such process is called as sentiment analysis. The Joint Sentiment-Detection (JST) model is the probabilistic model which is extension of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model that detects sentiment and topic simultaneously from text. Supervised approaches to sentiment classification often fail to produce satisfactory results when applied to other domains while the JST model is weakly supervised in nature where supervision only comes from domain independent sentiment lexicon. Thus, makes JST model portable to other domains. The proposed system incorporates a small amount of domain independent prior knowledge which is sentiment lexicon to further improve the sentiment classification accuracy. It also carry out experiments and evaluates the model performance on different datasets.

Abstract: Search re-ranking is considered as a best way to improve retrieval precision. This paper addresses two common problems in search. The top-ranked results for such queries may not contain relevant image to the user’s search result, and fresh and relevant pages may not get high ranks because when we retrieve and rank, images occur mostly based on the visit count of the link. We introduce a new ranking method named Meta rankers, which is based on Time, Download and also View. We invoked ranking based on time count of each visit of the image. Image redundancy is still a problem area concerned. We proposed Image check algorithm, which is used to eliminate the redundancy of an image. In this image check algorithm, it compares the color value of every single expected and actual pixel and avoids the repetition of the same image. Therefore, it provide better and most engaging and diverse search results.

Abstract: Heavy metals are persistent in the environment and are subject to bioaccumulation in food chains. However exposure does not result only from the presence of a harmful agent in the environment. The present study was undertaken to investigate the concentrations of heavy metals in Broiler Chicken and to assess the extent of contamination due to intake of water, foodstuff, premixes by chicken and other sources like air, ground water, soil etc,. Samples of meat collected from poultry farms in Paladam were analyzed for seven heavy metals i.e. Chromium, Copper, Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Iron, and Zinc using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after wet digestion of samples with HNO3.From the results chromium is the maximum content of heavy metal accumulated in the body tissues of broilers and their feed. For all samples other heavy metals were under the limit of quantification. The levels of heavy metals were compared with standards of WHO/FAO. Precocious steps must be taken to avoid use of such health hazardous concentrations of heavy meals in poultry feed and chicken meat.

Abstract: This paper reviews the State preference theory from a traditional perspective. It explains the model under which the state preference theory and gives rigorous explanations of the assumptions and their normative explanations. The paper goes further to reflect its focus on the state preference framework and also explains the aspects of state prices and their relation to aggregate wealth. The paper gives a technical view of risk neutral valuation in relation to state preference theorem, insights that allows for transforming of the state prices into a common discount factor known as risk neutral probabilities. The paper looks touches on a few criticisms and finally concludes that the model provides an elegant and general framework for the analysis of financial markets and yields a pricing rule for securities. The state preference theory is remarkably acknowledged for providing useful addition knowledge to a financial economist’s toolkit and with a basic understanding of financial markets and prices that forms the bread and butter of financial management candidature.
