Abstract:
The problem of power system optimization has become a deciding factor in current power system engineering practice with emphasis on cost and emission reduction. The economic and emission dispatch problem has been addressed in this paper using two efficient optimization methods, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). A hybrid produced from these two algorithms is used on the 30-bus 6 generator IEEE test system. The results are compared with ABC, Fuzzy Controlled Genetic Algorithm (FCGA) and Non Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and found to be effective on the combined economic and emission dispatch problem.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the effect of tannery effluent on seed germination of six different vegetable crops seeds under laboratory condition. The major objective of this research work was to make a comprehensive study on the status of vegetable seeds germination using different effluent treatments located in East Shoa, Ethiopia. The treatments were made by mixing measured amount of tannery effluent in distilled water i.e. 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% concentrations on seed germination of six vegetable crops seeds, namely: onion (Allium cepa L.), carrot (Daucus carota L.), beet root (Beta vulgaris L.), Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris L.), tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.). The seed germination experiment was carried out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five effluent concentrations (treatments), each replicated three times. All vegetable crops seeds were grown in different effluent concentrations and the effects of different concentrations of effluents were compared to that of distilled water (control). Parameters considered to study the effect of effluents were percentage germination, shoot length (cm), root length (cm), seedling length (cm), fresh weight per seedling (mg), dry weight per seedling (mg) and relative toxicity (%). The results indicated that, application of effluent did not show any inhibitory effect on seed germination and other morphological parameters at low concentration except in onion, carrot and tomato, which were found susceptible with 75 and 100% effluent mixtures but, Swiss chard, beet root and cabbage were found resistant to all effluent concentrations mixtures. Based on the tolerance to tannery effluent, the vegetable crop seeds studied are arranged in the following order: Swiss chard > cabbage > beet root > tomato > carrot > onion. With the increase in effluent concentration, all plant parameters decreased accordingly. Different physicochemical parameters of water such as:- pH, temperature,

Abstract:
Air samples from densely and less densely populated areas of Abuja Municipal Area Council, Kuje and Dobi Village in Gwagwalada Area council were analyzed using BW Technology GasAlaert® Microclip (gas detection instrument). The results showed varying concentrations of hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide and low explosive limit gases. The high concentrations of pollutants detected in Abuja municipal area council can be attributed to increased population growth, increased production of gaseous wastes and increased number of industries. However, no low explosive limit gas was detected in Kuje area council and with only emission of low explosive limit gases in Dobi, Gwagwalada area council which was due to decomposed refuse around the market and rice milling waste within settlements, in Dobi village.

Abstract:
A predictive model for determining the quantity of lime required for water treatment was developed by considering the inter-relationship between water quality parameter such as pH and the quantity of lime required for water treatment. The model constants were obtained using least square regression method and solving the resultant equation using MATLAB program. The resultant model equation was found to be Q= -1.5402+ 1735.539(〖10〗^(-∆pH) ). Comparison of the results from the simulation of the model and experimental data showed a good prediction with a correlation coefficient of 89%.

Abstract:
Experiments were conducted in 2005, 2006 and 2007 at the Teaching and Research farm of the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria, to study the effects of variable harvest ages (days after anthesis-DAA) on the quality of ‘egusi-itoo’ melon (Cucumeropsis mannii Naudin.) seed. A bulk crop was raised and fruits that developed from date-tagged flowers were harvested at five days interval beginning from 20 DAA to 65 DAA in 2005 and from 15 DAA to 60 DAA in 2006 and 2007 to monitor seed development and maturation with time. End of the seed-filling phase was attained at 50 DAA in 2005 and 40 DAA in 2006 and 2007. The highest seed germination values of 96.5, 93.5 and 94% were obtained in 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively at the last harvest (60/65 DAA). Germinability of stored seeds increased with DAA and the longevity of more mature seeds was better than that of less mature seeds. It was therefore concluded that delayed harvest until when fruits were between 60 and 65 DAA resulted in higher quality seeds of Cucumeropsis mannii.

Abstract:
This paper evaluates the different empirical models used for the estimation of solar energy irradiation on tilted surfaces. For this purpose, three isotropic and the same number of anisotropic sky models were employed by using monthly mean solar radiation and weather data of Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. The tilt angle was fixed at 11ºS towards the equator for optimization of incoming solar radiation from the sun during the worst months of the year from October to March due to overcast skies. It was discovered that the Reindl et al. model estimated the highest amount of incident solar energy in the whole year and Badescu model established the lowest among all isotropic as well as anisotropic models, whereas, Liu and Jordan model performs well at the time of bad weather conditions. It is concluded that the selection of Liu and Jordan model could be useful for the prediction of solar energy irradiation on tilted surfaces in the study area, where the weather is mostly cloudy.

Abstract:
A classical problem caused by separation of network is partitioning. Predicting those positioning from where the network get separated into the different partition could be a very useful feature that can be provided to applications in a wireless sensors network environment. Indeed, being aware of a future disconnection in the network can help to ensure a better quality of service by adapting the application behavior. We propose a distributed algorithm to detect “cuts” in sensor networks, i.e., the failure of a set of nodes that separates the networks into two or more components. The algorithm consists of a simple iterative scheme in which every node updates a scalar state by communicating with its nearest neighbors. In the absence of cuts, the states converge to values that are equal to potentials in a fictitious electrical network. When a set of nodes gets separated from a special node, that we call a “source node”, their states converge to 0 because “current is extracted” from the component but none is injected. These trends are used by every node to detect if a cut has occurred that has rendered it disconnected from the source. Although the algorithm is iterative and involves only local communication, its convergence rate is quite fast and is independent of the size of the network.

Abstract:
The present study deals with assessment of the water quality of the River Achencovil. Sabarimala is the largest annual pilgrimage in India with an estimated 45–50 million devotees visiting every year. The Achencovil River is a small river not more than 130 kilometers. Pilgrims use the water of Achencovil River for various sanitary purposes. The water quality is also disturbed by various other anthropogenic activities by the population living near the river. The microbiological and physico-chemical characteristics were studied and analyzed during July 2010 – April 2011 using standard procedures. The mid-stream part of the river is selected for the study. The results revealed that all the studied sites showed more pollution during the pilgrimage season (post monsoon) than the off seasons (monsoon and summer) and also showed fluctuations in microbiological and physico-chemical parameters. Pollution of river water can be reduced by providing proper sanitation facility to pilgrims and by providing proper methods for dumping of sewage and wastes. Almost all parameters showed significant (P<0.05) seasonal variation between segments and was determined by ANOVA.

Abstract:
In recent year’s semi-active dampers utilizing smart fluids like magneto-rheological (MR) fluid have attracted attention of the researchers. These devices have found varied applications like control of vibrations in seat suspension systems, rotary braking systems, prosthetics, seismic systems etc. The performance of MR damper depends on its magnetic and hydraulic circuit design. This paper deals with a design of MR damper for which mathematical model is developed. A finite element model is built to examine and investigate the 2- D axi-symmetric MR damper. Six different configurations of MR damper piston are simulated in order to investigate how the shape of the piston affects the maximum pressure drop that the damper can provide. The piston velocity and the input current to the coil are varied to evaluate the resulting change in magnetic flux density (B) and pressure drop(ΔP). The simulation results of the different configuration of damper piston show that the performance of single coil with filleted piston ends is better than that of other configurations for the same magnitude of input current and piston velocity.

Abstract:
The present paper aims at studying the emotional intelligence of the students in relation to their family relationship. It attempts to show the effect of family relationship on the emotional intelligence of the adolescents. Emotional intelligence is defined in the terms of self awareness , empathy, self motivation, emotional stability, managing relations, integrity, self development, value orientation, commitment, and altruistic behavior and family relationship is defined in terms of parental attitude acceptance, concentration and avoidance . The findings reveal that healthy family relationship greatly influences emotional intelligence of the adolescents. Family is the environment where the children learned to use their faculties and understand and cope with the physical world. It is a time when they do not bother with trivial things, such as the family relationship, because they know they are the kingpin of their family. It is the place, where they learn how family relationships work, by observing their parents, grandparents, siblings and rest of the family members deal with each other. They enjoy meeting them on family vacations and family reunions and exchanging Family reunion gifts with them.

Abstract:
Tcensus survey of India 2001 and 2011 shows the sex ratio of India is 933 and 940 as against 1000, whereas in the state of Maharashtra the ratio is 922 and 946 against 1000. The gender ratio of Kolhapur district is 949 and 953 according to the census mentioned above (2) and (3). There are several techniques adopted to check the population growth and abortion is one among such instrument. Even though, there are number of legislations to prohibit the sex determination, peoples use their own experience to identify the gender determination and will proceed for abortion if it is unwanted (5). In this study, two independent samples of size 400 and 600 were selected from urban and rural area of Kolhapur district (4). The sample consists of female’s having one child and is going for second during their reproductive period. The collected information is classified according to various characteristics and analyzed statistically (1). The result shows that abortions are mainly for gender preference and other related causes like family income, mother’s age and so on. It is not influenced by the level of education of the mother.

Abstract:
Energy from subsurface of earth at specific location that has ability to change the normal functioning of human system is called as Geopathic Stress. Suitability of the site in ancient times is carried out by different tests (Bhumi Pariksha), architectures and civil engineers were very particular in selecting the site for dwelling but in recent past geopathic stress is rarely considered spatial planning. Recent studies have shown that it is one of the causes for inception of disease. Places on road affected by this stress are prone to accidents.
This paper highlights about the significance and need of considering Geopathic stress as one of the parameter for spatial planning. Research shows that the Geopathic stress from nadir direction changes the reaction time of the driver which in turn leads to road accidents. Thus, by considering the aspect of Geopathic stress for planning, a safe and sustainable development of infrastructure will of benefit to the mankind.

Abstract:
Intrusion detection systems aim at detecting attacks against information systems in general. It is difficult to provide secure information systems and maintain them in a secure state for their entire lifetime. Maintenance of such information system is technically difficult as well as economically costly. With the advent of new vulnerabilities to information system new techniques for detecting these vulnerabilities have been implemented. In this paper we introduce a taxonomy of anomaly based intrusion detection systems that classifies all possible techniques. It defines families of anomaly based intrusion detection systems according to their properties along with their advantages and disadvantages. This paper also includes various examples from the past and current projects. We hope that this survey will provide a better understanding of the different directions in which research has been done on this topic.

Abstract:
Coastal areas of Jakarta are well known for their multiple uses (housings, industries, etc.). In this region, aquaculture ponds are also flourished and receiving not only coastal waters but also from river nearby that contain heavy metals. Lead (Pb) has been recognized as hazardous metal because it can cause health problem. The objectives of this study are to measure the lead (Pb) content in the ponds sediment and C. chanos, to determine bioconcentration factor of C. chanos and its relationship with water quality parameters. Samples of sediments and C. chanos were collected from four (M1-M4) aquaculture ponds located in Marunda, North Jakarta. Lead (Pb) content was analysed by using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) Shimadzu 6300. The highest content of lead (Pb) in the sediment (with lowest Pb content in muscles of C. chanos) was found in M2, which is 16.33 µg/g. On the contrary, the lowest content of Pb in sediment (8.93 µg/g) was found in M1 (location with highest Pb concentration in muscles of C.chanos). Based on bioconcentration factor (BCF) calculation, M1 had the highest BCF, as much as 0.558. Pb content in gills of C.chanos always higher compared to muscles. Moreover, the lower dissolved oxygen (6.8 mg/l), pH (7.3), and salinity (16.5‰ ) were observed in M1. The lower dissolved oxygen in M1 confirmed oxygen consumption by fish. Also, the lower pH accelerated the dissolution/release of metals in sediments, hence it becomes available for fish (C.chanos). Higher salinities ponds have higher bioaccumulated lead (Pb), especially on gills.

Abstract:
Multiple communication channel support in Radio Frequency (RF) transmission, such as that in a Software Defined Radio (SDR) warrants the use of channelizers to extract required channels from the received RF frequency band and to perform follow-on baseband processing. The objective of our project is to Design a SDR using Xilinx system generator and describe the process of channelization as it applies to low power and high-efficiency applications in wireless and Satellite Communications (SATCOM) domains. Smaller bandwidths and changing requirements of bandwidth calls for a programmable channel selection mechanism whereby channels and the resulting bandwidth can be selected based on target application, which is the primary principle in the Software Defined Radio based systems[3]. SDR is a radio in which some or the entire physical layer functions are software defined. Traditional hardware based radio devices have limited cross-functionality and they are modified only through a physical intervention. This results in higher production costs and minimal flexibility in supporting multiple waveform standards this problem is solved by SDR’s. In this project, a software defined radio is designed using Xilinx System Generator. System Generator’s FIR, FFT, FIFO and FDA Tool blocks are used. The FDA Tool block is used to define the filter order and coefficients, and the SDR block is used for the MATLAB/Simulink simulation and design implementation in FPGA using Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.1.

Abstract:
Silk Industry is an agro based industry, the end product of which is silk. Silk is a protein fiber produced by silkworm for spinning cocoon. Assam enjoys irrefutable reputation for its exquisite silk product. The silk industry of Assam mainly comprises the culture of eri, muga, and mulberry silk. Eri and muga are the exclusive monopoly of the people of Assam. The production of eri and muga silk are mainly concentrated in the Brahmaputra valley and is predominantly based in the rural areas. Mulberry silk is cultivated in less quantity then the others and almost in all parts of Assam. Natural surroundings, climate and humidity etc. play a vital role in the development of culture. Ecological condition of Assam provides help to the production of host plants for the silk worm and the silk fabrics. The industry here is just as old as “Free India”. Its advantage , such as, employment potential, assumed and regular income of the farmers, reelers and weavers at frequent intervals all round the year, non perishable nature of the final product and high export possibilities etc. caught the attention of people and other organizations too. It is found that silk of Tai-Ahom people of Assam has been attracting the tourists from the earlier period. The industry therefore may be developed as an attraction of both domestic as well as foreign tourists.
In this study, an attempt has been made to introduce the silk industry of Assam and its relation to the tourism sector. Problems related to the production, spinning, weaving, selling and focusing of the products, economic upliftment, modernization of the products, government and other organization efforts in this connection is also mentioned in the study. The study is based on primary and secondary data collection.

Abstract:
Assessment and testing of skills achieve during a course is a prime requirement of the educators. Out of the many teaching and training programs, prime attention goes to ICT teaching programs which have gained an unprecedented demand in all levels of educational institutes today. Assessment of computer related skills are done in several different modes. However, the authors believe that the ideal testing mechanism must provide the students with the facility of using a computer rather than answering on their memory of using a computer.
The testing mechanism described herein was designed and implemented at the main ICT training facility in the University of Peradeniya, the Information Technology Center (IT Center), in order to address this need and also to facilitate conducting tests amidst numerous technical and logistical challenges.
The comparative analysis shows that the hybrid test system which involves students answering a printed MCQ type paper while attempting the relevant software based tasks on a computer is capable of delivering higher testable course outcomes as well as topics under cash category. The same can be easily improved to be a fully computer based test depending on the ability of the skills of beginners in handling a computer for multiple tasks.

Abstract:
Car may be classified by a number of different standards and targets. Even, a broad classification is difficult, because a vehicle may fit into multiple categories. The proposed work provides a computer-based tool capable of classifying cars, as closely as possible to classifications performed by skilled operators. Such a tool is capable of extracting a number of numerical parameters characterizing the cars in areas like Value for Money, Design and Function and On the Road Performance. Such parameters are, then, used for training and learning an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the aim of classifying them by using different training and learning functions which reflects its performance level. From the results, it is revealed that TRAINLM, LEARNGDM & LOGSIG give comparatively good performance for this problem. So it would be easy to classify a car, whether it is family car or sports car or any other car within one second.

Abstract:
A battery storage system provides an independent source of power. This is essential for off-grid living where battery storage holds all energy produced by your solar, wind or hydro system. Note also that grid-connected solar power does not automatically provide you with an independent power supply - if the grid goes down then you lose supply completely. However, it is possible to add a battery storage option so that you have an uninterrupted power supply. A typical battery backup option would use a 400Ah 24V battery bank, which will provide approximately 6kWh of backup power, enough to run fridge/freezer/lights and TV for a day (longer, if it is sunny). This adds approximately $10,000 to cost of standard grid-connected system. These gel batteries require no maintenance as long as a backup generator is connected to keep battery levels high when solar or wind is not maintaining this supply. The Selectronics SP Pro inverter is recommended, as it will manage this system well. One can rest easily, just checking battery "state of charge" only occasionally. This paper explains how a battery bank is utilized in case of Solar Pv system and also gives an idea about various types of batteries and their comparisons.

Abstract:
In the nascent stage of developing a personalised interpreter, we develop a prototype which uses a speech processing hardware and online translators to provide the user with real time translation. Speech processing hardware works on the principle of ‘compare and forward’, i.e., a database is already stored in the unit which is used for comparing with the input speech and the result is forwarded for further processing. The need arises from the inability of dictionaries and human translators to suit our needs for better communication. In this situation the prototype proposed will suffice the purpose reasonably well and minimise the communication inefficiencies.

Abstract:
Konni Forest Division, a part of Southern Western Ghats, on the bank of River Achencoil carries long history of man-forest interface and harbours rich floral diversity supporting three different eco regions. The present study aimed to assess the floral diversity of Konni Forest Division and its distribution in relation to various edaphic factors. Forest types are identified by reconnaissance survey. The study plots were selected at random and the plants were marked and identified species wise. Braun – Blanquet model was adopted to enumerate non tree species. Soil analysis and statistical analysis were done using standard procedures. Diversity indices were also calculated to explain the plot wise variation in the floral diversity, dominance, abundance, richness, evenness and distribution. 16 tree species were identified in the moist deciduous habitat, of which 86% showed contiguous distribution, 13% enjoy random distribution and 1% enjoy regular distribution. Evergreen and semi evergreen eco regions are home to 11 tree species. 23 non – tree species were identified of which 5 species have frequency above 50% and remaining below 50%. Various biodiversity indices shows that konni reserve forest is marked with species richness, species abundance, moderate species diversity , even distribution of plant species and no over dominance among species. Soil analysis showed richness in organic carbon, nitrogen, potassium, calcium and magnesium content, but low Phosphorus content. This indicates high fertility and productivity of forest ecosystem.

Abstract:
Association rule mining is a way to find interesting associations among different large sets of data item. Apriori is the best known algorithm to mine the association rules. In this dissertation, clustering technique is used to improve the computational time of mining association rules in databases using Access data. Clusters are used to improve the performance of computer. Clusters are responsible for finding the frequent k item sets; hence lot of work is performed in parallel, thus decreasing the Computation time. This parallel nature of clusters is exploited to decrease the computation time in mining of data and also it reduces the bottleneck in the central site. Since after mining of data, there will be explosion of number of results and determining most frequent item sets will be difficult, so item sets are divided into two groups’ namely-globally frequent item sets and locally frequent item sets.

Abstract:
We develop a theoretical model to study density of state mass dependent Optical Phase Conjugation via Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (OPC-SBS) in direct gap semiconductors. An empirical formula based on phenomenological model is used to determine the maximum possible plasma density in terms of density of state mass in the medium which is used in deriving third order susceptibility using coupled mode scheme and hydrodynamical model. Extensive numerical estimates have been performed to appreciate the DOS dependency of OPC process in InSb, CdS and GaAs crystals shined by119 pulsed laser at 300K. Threshold value of pump electric field, the possibility of optical phase conjugation and the corresponding interaction length is to be premeditated. The maximum possible plasma density is found to be highest in CdS and lowest in InSb crystals. Hence the analysis reveals that higher the density of state mass lower is the interaction length. CdS is found to be most appropriate host for the (OPC-SBS) process with highest gain coefficient and with lower interaction length. On the other hand if the crystal is used as an optical waveguide with relatively large interaction length then InSb proves its potential in practical applications such as fabrication of phase conjugate mirrors.

Abstract:
An investigation has been carried out to obtain the flow and heat transfer of two dimensional electrically conducting second grade fluids over stretching surface in the presence of uniform magnetic field. The viscosity is assumed to vary as inverse linear function of temperature. The non-linear boundary layer equations together with the boundary conditions are reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by Runge-Kutta shooting method. The velocity and temperature profiles, the skin-friction and the rate of heat transfer are computed and discussed for different values of parameters. Some numerical results are presented graphically and discussed.

Abstract:
The success of insemination programme depends on the appropriate management of semen collection, storage and use. According to some reports, the highest numbers of successful AIs were done in Central Province (CP) and the lowest were recorded in Eastern Province and Northern Province. So far there are no studies related to semen quality of bull which belongs to AI centre at Thirunelvely. The semen of Jersey was collected by means of artificial vagina and stored at 4-8°C. General examination was evaluated to assess volume, colour, opacity and pH. Fresh semen (0 h) and stored semen (24 h to 72 h) were compared by progressive individual motility and sperm count. Sperm count was evaluated by hemocytometer. Viability was determined by using 1% eosin. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Dunnett’s post test was performed using prism 5.04 to compare the viability of semen from 0 h to 72 h during storage. Viability decreased significantly (ANOVA P<0.05) in a time dependent manner from 0 h to 72 h during storage at 4-8°C. The percentage of viable sperms and sperm velocity gradually decreased when compared to control 0 h (93.17± 1.322%, 23.33 ± 1.419 μm/s), with 24 h (85.50 ± 0.8892 %, 13.33± 0.7698 μm/s), 48 h (79.22 ± 0.7731, 1.778 ± 0.2383 μm/s) and 72 h (69.17 ± 1.360 %, 0.817 ± 0.271μm/s). Our preliminary studies suggested that the fresh semen is better than the stored semen for higher successful rate of insemination in NP of Sri Lanka.

Abstract:
Impediment lenient Mobile Sensor Networks (ILMSN) is a class of promising networks that experience frequent and long-duration partitions. Evaluate with the conventional networks, the distinct characteristic is that there is no end-to-end connectivity between source and destination. The network topology may modify dynamically and arbitrarily. This characteristic and non-existence of an end-to-end path poses a number of challenges in routing in ILMSNs. So, Utilizing multi-replica schemes to develop the routing performance is reasonable. Most of the presented multi-replica approach distributes many copies of the messages into the network for increasing the packet delivery rate. This operation consumes a great amount of constrained resource of ILMSNs. To solve this problem we suggest a Radio Frequency and Power-Attentive Routing protocol (FPAR), which cut down the replicas based on the Radio Frequency between the sensor nodes and sink node and the residual Power of the sensor node. The packet delivery probability is based on sink meeting frequency and nodes movement direction. Then we develop our protocol by using diverse targets called Diverse Targets Radio Frequency and Power Attentive Routing protocol (DTFPAR). Simulation results indicate that our proposed protocol achieves higher message delivery ratios with lower transmission overhead and data delivery delay than existing ILMSNs routing protocols.

Abstract:
Groundwater is one of the most valuable natural resources, which supports human civilization. The supply of groundwater is not unlimited and therefore its’ use should be properly planned based on the understanding of the groundwater systems behavior in order to ensure its sustainable use. Again a judicious use of groundwater, proper evaluation is required. A groundwater development and management program needs the analyses of a large volume of multidisciplinary data from various sources. Integrated use of remote Sensing and GIS can provide the appropriate platform for convergence of multidisciplinary data from various sources for appropriate planning. In the present study, an integrated remote Sensing and GIS based methodology is developed and tested for the evaluation of the groundwater resources of Dulung watershed, Paschim Medinipur District, West Bengal and a small part of the adjoining Jharkhand state. IRS 1D LISS-III satellite data of 4th February, 2008 along with other data sets, existing maps and field observation data have been utilized to extract information on the hydro geomorphic features of the study area. The ground water potential zones have been derived for the entire Dulangnala watershed and it has been divided into mainly four categories namely very low, low, medium and high recharge potential zone.

Abstract:
This paper realise the out line of Heat transfer coefficient for circular copper tube of polished and non-polished through vapour bubbles form of filmwise or dropwise condensation and summurise the main result with its corellation application. During processes of this set up visually observe the exchange of heat during dropwise and filmwise condensation. This unit contained with an integrated steam generator boiler and steam extraction through control valve to the chamber tubes. Condensation of steam on the surface of tubes causes heat transferred from steam to tubes ,into water as heat exchange medium, at peak stage due to temperature difference may condense in to two ways-dropwise or filmwise on tube surfaces.in film -wise condensation, the heat from the vapour to the cooling medium is transferred through the film of the condensate formed on the surface ,where as in dropwise condensation process, only a part of surface is covered with condensate. Due to good contact between the vapour and surface very high heat transfer rates are reported in dropwise process. However, it has been difficult to sustain drop wise condensation commercially for long periods of time.

Abstract:
The ground state (µg) and excited state (µe) dipole moments of two coumarin derivatives namely diethyl 2-acetamido-2-((3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromen-1-yl)methyl)malonate (2DAM) and ethyl2-((7-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)methyl)-3-oxobutanoate(2EMCO) were estimated in various solvents. The dipole moments were estimated from Lippert, Bakhshiev and Kawaski-Chamma-Viallet equations by using the variation of stokes shift with the solvent dielectric constant and refractive index. Ground state dipole moments were also calculated theoretically by DFT studies using Gaussian 03 software. It was observed that the excited state dipole moments calculated by solvatochromic shift method were greater than the ground state dipole moments indicating a substantial redistribution of the -electron densities in a more polar excited state for both the coumarin derivatives.

Abstract:
In wireless networks, hidden terminal problem is common and leads to collision which makes it difficult to provide the required quality of multimedia services or support priority based services. To overcome these problems a directional antennas have been extensively used in designing MAC protocols for wireless network. Directional antennas provide many advantages over the classical antennas. In this paper, we show that directional antennas can be used effectively to solve a common hidden and exposed terminal problem by using an energy efficient MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks. This directional Antenna could be rotated in case of base station node to avoid directional hidden terminal problem.

Abstract:
Here we used a lumped port excitation for the Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW) feed. We used copper cladding for cutout and for substrate dielectric material named Arlon Cu Clad 217(tm).The CPW slots and antenna shape acts as openings in a metallized plane. The antenna has been analyzed over frequency ranges of S-band (2.20-3.95(GHz)), C-band(4.90-8.20(GHz)) andX-band (8.20-12.40(GHz)).Their return loss, gain, directivity, VSWR and impedances have been compared. It is covered with air box depending on the minimum distance between the air wall and the radiating aperture at the starting frequency i.e., (9.375mm).Though experiments with bow-tie antennas of various extended angles, the bow-tie antenna with a 900 extended angle exhibits the widest bandwidth in the desired frequency band which has a bandwidth of 25% for a VSWR <1.5:1, 16.96% for a VSWR <1.2:1 and 9.19% for a VSWR <1.4:1

Abstract:
With the onset of reforms to liberalize the Indian economy in July of 1991, a new chapter has dawned for India and her billion plus population. This period of economic transition has had a tremendous impact on the overall economic development of almost all major sectors of the economy especially the services sector. Besides, it also marks the advent of the real integration of the Indian economy into the global economy. India has been attracting foreign direct investment especially during post reforms period. The sectors like telecommunication, construction activities and computer software and hardware have been the major sectors for FDI inflows in India. The Indian economy as a whole, we find that FDI stocks and output are Co-integrated in the long run. FDI is unlikely to work wonders if only remaining regulations were relaxed and still more industries opened up to FDI. Our present focus is on the FDI trends and consequences during the last decade in India. We also study the effects of FDI investment across various sectors during the same period.

Abstract:
A Carrier-Sense Multiple-Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) was a telecommunication protocol that first listened before sending a frame through a medium in order to avoid collision among heterogeneous sites across a network. To teach such a mechanism to students in the traditional format, especially to the ones from the Sub-Saharan region was a difficult to visualize such a concept. In view of that, Carrier-Sense Multiple-Access/Collision Avoidance – Visualisation Teaching Tool (CSMA/CA- VTT) was envisaged to demonstrate step-by-step the phenomenon of “listen-before-talk”, the mechanism of Inter Frame Spacing (IFS) and Back off Timer (BOT) decremented generated random time to zero (0) to give one station high priority to send a frame. The CSMA/CA-VTT proved to be useful teaching aid in practice by showing sixty percent (60%) of the Regular group of twenty five (25) students that were taught using that tool, reported that they visualised the concept very high. In contrast, the Controlled group that were taught without using the tool, only four percent (4%) of students claimed that they were able to visualize the concept very high, whereas sixty eight percent (68%) of this same group regrettably lamented that their visualization to this concept was low. Such a result really suggested that the institutions especially in the sub-Saharan region did not have relevant telecommunications infrastructure that would be demonstrated before the learners. This showed that much of teaching-learning was done theoretically. It was against this background that alternative solutions of employing teaching tools like CSMA/CA-VTT were developed and used in learning institutions.

Abstract:
Power is very important to modern systems. From the smallest sensors, bionic implants, laptops, consumer products to satellites and oil platforms, it is important to be able to deliver power means other than classical wires or transmission lines. Wireless transmission is useful in cases where instantaneous or continuous energy transfer is needed, but interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. An efficient method for wireless power transfer would also enable advances in such diverse areas as embedded computing, mobile computing, sensor networks, and micro robotics. The need to minimize energy consumption is often the main design driver in applications where devices need to operate without tethered. Energy consumption often restricts functionality in such applications. The work depicted in this paper is inspired by potential application of magnetic resonant coupling as a means for WPT from a source coil to a single load. It is observed that without the intermediate coil a LED is lit up to a maximum distance of 70 centimeter and with intermediate coil that lead is lit up to a maximum distance of 91 centimeter with voltage measured 2.2volts. Several experiments regarding this technique need to carry out for a better output and the day is not far when the need for wires will get obsolete.

ackaging plays an indispensable role in modern societies. In fact, without packaging many products cannot reach consumers in sound condition. Packaging is mainly responsible for the distribution and consumption of goods. Therefore, due importance is given to systematic and attractive packaging. Packaging can also be said as the backbone of our nation’s economic development, as economic progress can be ushered in only through proper and adequate packaging of the products. Hence, best efforts are made to improve the various means of packaging, so as to enhance the distribution and consumption of goods. Besides, packaging is also an important part of product planning and development and so it is important in the total marketing strategy.

Abstract:
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in food fermentation and preservation either as natural microflora or as starter cultures. LAB displays numerous antimicrobial activities. This is mainly due to the production of organic acids, but also of other compounds, such as bacteriocins and antifungal peptides. Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides that are active against other bacteria, either of the same species (narrow spectrum), or across genera (broad spectrum). In recent years, bacteriocin producing LAB have attracted significant attention because of their potential use as safe additives for food preservation that could, at least partially, replace chemical preservatives. LAB were isolated using MRS media. The agar diffusion bioassay was used to screen for bacteriocin or bacteriocin-like substances (BLS). 28 lactobacilli were isolated from 20 different samples. Among the isolate 4 strains of Lactobacilli were observed to have activity against 3 diferent strains and also against S.aureus, MRSA, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thus only 14.2% of the isolated strains were found to be producing bacteriocin like substance and all of them were isolated from the milk samples. Bacteriocin sensitivity to physical conditions and chemical substances were also evaluated. The test bacteriocin was found to be a sensitive to choloroform and resistant to catalase treatment

Abstract:
Solid polymer electrolyte films based on PMMA were prepared in different NaClO4 salt concentrations by solution cast technique. The features of complexion of these electrolytes were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Film morphology was examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The electrical conductivity of pure and NaClO4 doped polymer electrolyte films was studied in the temperature range 303-393 K. The electrical conductivity increased with increasing dopant concentration and exhibited Arrhenius type dependent with temperature. The increase in conductivity with dopant concentration may be attributed to the formation of charge transfer complexes. Transport number data showed that the charge transport in this electrolyte system is predominately due to ions. Using this polymer electrolyte, solid state electro chemical cell have been fabricated, and their discharge profiles were studied under a constant load of 100 kΩ.

Abstract:
Today there is a need for classes of efficient compression and transmission methodology, hardware and languages’ for an application which deals great efforts in a short time. The requirement of neurologist is accurate, minute details, meaningful and timely information of EEG data. For this purpose the PMS should get the data which is more accurate, error free and support to the time. Hence there is a need for an efficient compression system and transmission media, which could play a vital role for PMS. The compression of Electroencephalographic (EEG) signal is of great interest to many in the biomedical community. The motivation for this research is the large amount of low amplitude data involved in collecting EEG information which requires storage space and high bandwidth for transmission. Lossless compression of EEG provides the necessity for exact recovery of the data for diagnostic and analysis purposes. Efficient compression and transmission of the EEG signal is a difficult task due to the unpredictability in the signal and also signal is having very low amplitude. Thus with various relevant data compression and transmission for EEG signal could be the great research.

Abstract:
Hydro carbon is released in the atmosphere through rotogauge (Ref photo @) while loading of LPG and Propane in the tankers contributes occupational health problems to the workers, greenhouse gas effect (Ref $) as well as revenue loss though it is insignificant in case of one tanker but it is significant if we consider loading and unloading of tanker at National level per day and Organizational level per year. In order to overcome the problem of releasing of hydrocarbon through rotogauge (for measuring liquid level inside the tanker) it is necessary to study this topic in detail along with the effect of these hydrocarbons on the workers working in that area. To know the effect of released hydrocarbon on the loading operators their medical checkups were done in three different seasons. The result of the study will tell the effects of these hydrocarbons on operators, extent of energy loss and revenue loss as well as the method to minimize the loss of hydrocarbon in atmosphere during loading and unloading of tankers thereby limiting the exposure of the operators to hydrocarbon vapours

Abstract:
Permo-Cretaceous, intracratonic Satpura Gondwana succession unconformably overlies the Precambrian Basement. The lowermost Talchir unit of Satpura succession comprises of glacio-marine and glacio-fluvial deposits. However, the succeeding the successions largely represent a variety of fluvial depositional systems with some records of fluvio-deltaic and fluvio-lacustrine sedimentation under a variety of climatic conditions including cold, warm, arid, subhumid and semiarid. The approximately 5 km thick succession comprises of Talchir, Baraker, Motur, Bijori, Pachmarhi, Denwa, Bagra and Jabalpur formations. The present study is confined to Early Triassic Pachmarhi Formation. On the basis of lithological characters six lithofacies were identified and their lateral trends at the measured section were studied: (1) Planar cross-bedded sandstone (Sp) facies, (2) Trough cross-bedded sandstone (St) facies, (3) Horizontally bedded to gentally inclined sandstone (Sh) facies, (4) Massive to faintly cross-bedded sandstone (Sm) facies; (5) Pebbly sandstone (Pb-S) facies, (6) Small scale ripple fine grained sandstone (Sr) facies were recognized in Pachmarhi Formation. Lithofacies characters and multistory sandstone bodies which are parallel to depositing streams is product of longitudinal bars and locally diagonal/transverse bars of low sinuosity braided streams. It is suggested that Pachmarhi sandstones are deposited in a braided river system under warm, humid to subhumid climatic conditions.

Abstract:
Highly sensitive and selective direct and derivative spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of aluminium in various materials. 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde-p-hydroxybenzoic hydrazone reacts with Al(III) forming yellow coloured soluble complex in aqueous dimethyl formamide which has a λmax at 410 nm in the pH range 4.5 – 5.5. Sensitivity of the method has significantly increased in the presence of 0.02% of cetyl pyridinium chloride miscellar medium. The system obeyed Beer’s law in the range 0.027 – 1.079 μg mL-1 of Al(III). The molar absorptivity (4.19 x 104 L mol-1 cm-1), detection limit (3.8 x 10-3 μg mL-1) and determination limit (1.16 x 10-2 μg mL-1) indicate the sensitivity of the proposed method. The studies on effect of diverse ions showed almost all the anions (except F-) and majority of the cations do not interfere in more than 50 fold excess. The interference from Ni(II), Fe(III), Cu(II) and Ti(IV) was eliminated by using suitable masking agents. The direct method was applied for the determination of aluminium in silicate minerals, industrial sludges and in soils. The sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed method is further enhanced in the first to fourth order derivative spectrophotometric methods developed. Second order derivative method was applied for the determination of Al(III) in plant extracts, hair, tea and water samples.

Abstract:
Triglycerides are stored lipids with high calorific value, and so may be the preferred choice of fuel during starvation, which may be partially utilized and also may be a simultaneously synthesized along the degradation, probably to balance the lipid over load and also to prevent lipotoxicity of cells caused due to accumulation of FFA(free fatty acids). There may not be any absolute depletion of lipids, during starvation as lipid is considered to be the element constant. To study and understand the relevance of triglycerides during starvation we selected, Anabas, testudineus, a sturdy fish from coastal waters of Andhra Pradesh (INDIA) and subjected it to brief (15days) and prolonged fasting (60days).Triglyceride concentration was estimated by the method of Raghuramulu et.al (1983).Six non adipose tissues, like liver, kidney, brain accessory respiratory organ, pectoral and lateral line muscle were chosen for the study. There was an overall upsurge observed in the triglyceride levels. During the short term fasting stress, the increase was found to be a significant one in tissues such as liver (P<0.01), kidney,(P<0.001) brain,(P<0.001) accessory respiratory organ(P<0.001) and lateral line muscle(P<0.001). Pectoral muscle (NS) however showed an insignificant rise. Long term starvation results were different from that of the short term. Tissues such as kidney(P<0.05) and brain(P<0.05) showed a significant rise and other non adipose tissues such as kidney, pectoral and lateral line muscle, all showed an insignificant increase. Accessory respiratory organ did not show any change in the triglyceride content. Anabas, adapted well to the starvation stress and survived all through the experimental period.We suggests that the triglyceride synthesis and accumulation during fasting may be used as an index to describe starvation status of anabas.

Abstract:
Policies are framed to provide direction to obtain an end. The Industrial Policies of India were also framed to meet the challenges as an end and to give direction to obtain economic development and growth through industrialization after independence at the latter stage. The present paper highlights the changing face of India’s Industrial Policies. The evolution of India’s industrial policies can be seen by dividing the entire study into three phases namely: - first, Industrial Policies of India prior to Independence; second, Industrial Policies of India after Independence up to 1990 and; third, Industrial Policy of 1991 and thereafter policies. In the first phase an attempt is made to understand the industrial policy pursued by the British rulers. In second phase it is discussed that how India pursued and modified industrial policies which could put India on the road to progress. In the third phase how developing India gave new direction to industrial activities through New Industrial Policy and its following Industrial Policies which could cope up with rest of the world economies under the banner of LPG (Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization) is discussed.

Abstract:
Edges define boundaries and are of fundamental importance in image processing. Edge detection is an important feature of image processing which is used for object extraction and finding out minute parts in applications like medical, mining, production etc. Image Edge detection significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out useless information, while preserving the important structural properties in an image. It is therefore important to find even the sensitive edges present in an image. An effort in this regard results a proposal of an edge detection algorithm which not only detects the minute edges present in the image which is very hard to detect from the existing methods, but also proves its efficiency in object extraction. A comparison with a few familiar methods is done in order to prove the efficiency and capability of the proposed method which completely suppresses the background and enhances object extraction.

Abstract:
In recent years there have been widespread interests in Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) of transformer. SFRA is popular because without dismantle of transformer we can detect the different faults. SFRA is used for assessment of the mechanical condition of the transformer core and winding. It provides an early indication of the growing problems. This method uses a low voltage sinusoidal signal which contains a sweep of frequencies covering a range between 10 Hz and 2 MHz. This signal is applied at one end and measured on the other end of the winding with one phase at a time and the impedance of the transformer winding over a wide range of frequencies is measured. This method is based on a comparison approach with respect to reference data. It is advisable to have reference tests on the new transformer. Faults which can change either the winding capacitance or the winding inductance are detectable. It is desirable to monitor the mechanical condition of the transformers periodically during their service life to provide an early warning of faults in transformer. In classical method result interpretation of SFRA to diagnosis the fault in power transformer depends upon the experience of human experts. Sometime a high degree of inconsistency and ambiguity have been observed regarding interpretation of result by different human experts, so there is a need to develop expert system for SFRA. In this thesis expert system programming has been developed using suitable MATLAB code. It has been successfully applied to various power transformers.

Abstract:
Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of severe human malaria. The dominance of resistant strains has compelled to the discovery and development of new and different modes-of-action. Current plasmodial drug discovery efforts remains lack far-reaching set of legitimated drug targets. Prerequisite of these targets (or the pathways in which they function) is that they prove to be crucial for parasite survival. Thioredoxin Reductase is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of thioredoxin. It plays an important role in maintaining the redox environment of the cell. A third redox active group transfers the reducing equivalent from the apolar active site to the surface of protein. This group is a second redox active disulfide in thioredoxin reductase. The vital importance of the thioredoxin redox cycle (encompassing NADPH, thioredoxin reductase and thioredoxin) is stressed by the confirmation that thioredoxin reductase is indispensable for the survival of intraerythrocytic P. falciparum. Cytosolic Plasmodium falciparum Spermidine synthase linked with the polyamine metabolism is a potential target for antimalarial chemotherapy due to the vital role of spermidine in the activation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A, cell proliferation and the mechanism of the aminopropyltransferase action of Spermidine Synthase. Methyl Erythritol 4-Phosphate (MEP)/Rohmer pathway is assumed to have specific inhibitors designed against enzymes of this pathway with less toxicity and fewer side effects. 2C-Methyl-d-Erythritol 2, 4 – Cyclodiphosphate Synthase (MECPS), catalyzes the formation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. All three enzymes represents as promising drug targets for rational drug designing.

Abstract:
Researches and designs of the information age are channelizing towards User-Experience design (UXD or UED), which has been developed in such a way as to give the impression that the design is unique to the user. Though it has successfully achieved its intent in certain design circles, questions arise in the field of architecture, concerning the relationship between the architect and the end-user recipient.
The society recognizes ‘architects’ as the absolute masters of space determination, design, building planning and construction supervision. The architect is imposed of certain authority and responsibility considering that he is a trained professional in space formation. Despite achieving the feeling of belonging to the user, many individuals will still make adjustments to the architect’s design. How is the space formation being incomplete here? Is it because many users end up accepting, unconditionally, the architect’s creativity and adapt themselves to their four walls or do they complete, themselves, the nuances of functionality and space formation?
This paper analyses the gap between the architect and the end-user as well as between the architect and his creation; to find out a better concept in which the user is given a higher power in designing than being a mere client.

Abstract:
Drug polluted waters are treated by various methods. Among the chemical methods the advanced oxidation process is adopted in this work using copper oxide nanocubes stabilized with green polymers namely chitosan and starch. Copper oxide nanocubes (CuOnc) are characterized using FTIR, FESEM and HRTEM. The edge side length of nanocubes of starch and chitosan stabilized CuO are found to be 10 ± 1nm, 8 ± 1 nm respectively. H2O 2 is used as the oxidant. Time dependant UV spectra for the oxidation of the three drugs namely gentamicin (GE), furosemide (FU) and deriphyllin (DH) are studied under the pseudo first order conditions, using the Cuonc as the catalyst. Based on the absorbance versus time plots, the kinetic plots for the rate coefficient determination are made. The optimum pH values for the maximum rate coefficient values for the three drugs are found to lie within the range of pKa values. The catalyst mass effect was studied and 1mg of CuOnc has been found to be effective. The trend observed in the rate coefficient values for the oxidative degradation for the three drugs is GE>FU>DH and chitosan stabilized CuOnc is found to catalyse better than the starch stabilized ones for the oxidative degradation of the drugs.

Abstract:
The problem of power system optimization has become a deciding factor in current power system engineering practice with emphasis on cost and emission reduction. The economic and emission dispatch problem has been addressed in this paper using two efficient optimization methods, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). A hybrid produced from these two algorithms is tested on a 10 generator test system with valve point effects. The results are compared with differential evolution (DE), Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA) and Non Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA) and found to be effective on the combined economic and emission dispatch problem.

Abstract:
Our idea is to build a pattern following Stinger Bot which follows a specific pattern that is drawn on the computer by a GUI interface by considering various algorithmic factors. It will find its applications in military sting operations and industries where the equipments or the parts need to be dynamically moved.
It uses a ‘Paint’ like GUI on which the user defines a path he wants the robot to follow. This is then broken down using precise algorithms and transmitted wirelessly to the bot. The bot then decodes this information by passing the data through an Intel Atom processor, a serializer which finally maneuvers the motors along the path specified by the user on the GUI interface. The simplicity of the interface hides a labyrinth of contraptions and algorithms- which marks the beauty of this project.

Abstract:
In recent years, emerging market economies (EMEs) are increasingly becoming a source of foreign investment for rest of the world. It is not only a sign of their increasing participation in the global economy but also of their increasing competence. More importantly, a growing impetus for change today is coming from developing countries and economies in transition, where a number of private as well as state-owned enterprises are increasingly undertaking outward expansion through foreign direct investments (FDI). Companies are expanding their business operations by investing overseas with a view to acquiring a regional and global reach. . Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India country assumed critical importance in the context of this liberalization. Though India is the tenth most industrialized country in the world, it is well known that it is mainly agro-based with around 70% population engaged in the farm sector. However, in the initial stage of liberalization, FDI was centered on the urban manufacturing sectors because of its civic infrastructure, labor availability, flexible taxation mechanism etc. The success story of FDI in these sectors is known to us. The present paper is an attempt to study the future prospects of FDI in India in pension funds.

Sustainable management of wetland ecosystem is necessary as it serves the important functions such as food storage, water quality maintenance and providing habitat for different species of wildlife. Hence an inventory of wetlands in any given area is a pre-requisite for their conservation and management. Here a study has been carried out to delineate the characteristics of inland-wetland of Nadia district of West Bengal using LANDSAT ETM+ and LANDSAT TM data for the year of 2000 and 2010.The data have been analyzed and qualitatively characterized based on the turbidity and aquatic vegetation status. Two kinds of wetlands have been delineated like ponds and ox-bow lakes. From the analysis it has been observed that inland wetlands constitute 5.7% of the study area and here the ox-bow lakes are locally named as ‘Bils’. Thus this study highlights the usefulness of Remote Sensing data and DIP techniques for wetland mapping and characterization.

Abstract:
Robust digital signature verifies the originality of an image by detecting malicious manipulations. Its goal is different from that of image watermarking, which embeds into the image a signature surviving most manipulations. In this paper, we present an effective technique for image authentication which can prevent malicious manipulations but allow JPEG lossy compression. The authentication signature is based on the invariance of the relationships between discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient at the same position in separate blocks of an image.

Gujarat is a western state of India which enjoys a tropical climate. The major concentration of forests is found all along the eastern border of the state and the hilly portion of Saurashtra. The Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary lies towards the eastern part of the state between the parallels of latitude 22-22’N and 22-28’N and the meridians of longitude 73-38’E and 73-44’ E. The Sanctuary is spread over the Jambughoda and Halol Talukas of Panchmahals district and the Sankheda taluka of Vadodara district. The Sanctuary is spread over 130.38 Sq.Km. of undulating land with moist deciduous forest. This work deals with the analysis of soil samples collected from different areas of Jambughoda wildlife sanctuary. Stratified Random Sampling was employed to collect soil samples from surface as well as 10, 20 and 30 cm depths. The collected samples were analysed for macronutrients, micronutrients, organic carbon and organic matter. The amount of carbon sequestered was also calculated in kg/ha. Significant variations were seen in organic carbon content among samples collected from different places as well as from different depths. The average pH content of the soil samples was also measured.

Abstract:
WEDM is a widely recognized unconventional material cutting process used to manufacture components with complex shapes and profiles of hard materials. In this thermal erosion process, there is no physical contact between the wire tool and work materials. Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is getting more tasks in fields like dies, punches, aero and many more. It is the very difficult task to get optimum process parameters for higher cutting efficiency. Accuracy is becoming a predominant factor nowadays. In this paper EN31 is taken for study. The design of experiments (DOE) is done in taguchi L27 orthogonal array (OA). In WEDM process rough machining gives lesser accuracy and finish machining gives fine surface finish, but it reduces the machining speed. Hence we have to improve the MRR and reduce the Ra as the objective, which is done by taguchi method.

Abstract:
This paper proposes an efficient algorithm for Fuzzy based Metagraph ADT (Abstract Data Type). It is a hierarchical data structure where every node has one or more data. A mathematical model which encompasses both data type and the functions that operate on the data type is called as an ADT. Fuzzy set ADT integrated with Fuzzy Metagraph can perform different operations such as Union, Intersection, Disjoint Subset Union, Clustering and Searching. The proposed method considerably reduces the time complexity which can be applied to solve a number of problems. Fuzzy metagraph is an emerging technique used in the design of many information processing systems like transaction processing systems, decision support systems, and workflow Systems.

Abstract:
Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) is an important metric to quantify the Asian monsoon system. Artificial Neural Networks, ANNs, are being increasingly used for nonlinear regression and classification problems in meteorology. The issues raised for this study can be summarized as the problem of simulation of the ISMR time series with the ANN model to get away with the need of external parameter for its prediction. The need of simulation with ANN needs to be justified by the same simulation being done by the linear and non-linear regression models. Time series analysis of the All India Rainfall Index using the ANN model and the linear and non-linear regression models are done. Lag Correlation analysis of the time series has been done to determine the predictors. The results are statistically analyzed to determine the quality of forecasts and also to do an inter-comparison of the models. Non-linear regression analysis was done to critically analyze the usefulness of the ANN models while modeling the AIR with the single data set. That the ANN model is a better option than the linear regression model was observed.

Abstract:
There are a continuously growing number of customers who use Internet banking because of its convenience. But the security and privacy of Information may be one of the biggest concerns to the Online Banking users. The problem with Online banking applications is that they send data directly to customer in plain text form compromising with security. The solutions to the security issues require the use of software-based solutions that involve the use of encryption algorithms. For this we propose a challenge/response -based short-time password authentication methods using Symmetric cryptography in combination with Software Security model. In this approach bank hides customer transaction data is secure SMS using IDEA symmetric cryptographic algorithm and send it to customer application supported handset. Customer application decrypts data in secure manner the encryption and decryption are characterized by a secret key that the legal parties have to posses. So, in face of the current security issues and the growing number of attacks and consequent frauds, new internet banking systems should be designed as to provide better authentication and identification methods. And these methods can be implemented to the Mobile banking to address the Security concern.

Abstract:
Medicinal plants are the precious wealth for healthy and happy society; all the plants in natural ecosystem appear to be symbiotic with fungal endophytes. This highly diverse group of fungi can have profound impacts on plant communities through increasing fitness by conferring stress tolerance or decreasing fitness by altering resource allocation. Thus the present work has been carried out to explore their activities against some of the ethno medicinally important plants in Karaikal. In view of importance of these fungi (as potential bio control agents, source of bioactive compounds and in plant protection) it was considered worthwhile to study fungal associates of some of ethno medicinal plants. Five medicinal plants belonging to different families have observed, fungi have been isolated from the different parts of the medicinal plants.

Abstract:
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is combination of different protocols at various layers.TCP/IP is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet and private networks either an intranet or an extranet. The TCP/IP suite has many design weaknesses so far as security and privacy are concerned. Some of these are protocol design weaknesses, whereas rest is defects in the software that implements the protocols. In this paper, I focused mainly on protocol level issues, rather than implementation flaws. In this paper, we discuss about the security issues related to the some of the protocols in the TCP/IP suite.

Abstract:
Model-Based Testing is the automatic generation of efficient test procedures using models of system requirements and specified functionality. Model-based regression testing is an important activity that ensures the reliability of evolving software [1]. One of the major issues in this type of testing is the optimal selection of test-cases to test the affected portion of the software. Model-based selective regression testing promises reduction in cost and labour by selecting a subset of the test suite corresponding to the modifications after system evolution. Identification of such changes in modification and selection of test cases is very difficult task.
In this paper, MBRT (Model Based Regression Testing) tool has been developed, which is a java base testing tool used for generation, reduction of test cases and also classify the test cases into obsolete, reusable and re-testable test cases which results in reduction in time and cost. In this paper use of class diagram and state machine diagram has been made for presenting the idea of regression testing and also use of flow graph to generate the test cases.
