As per the rulebook of Formula SAE committee, India, it is must to have a restrictor for 20mm diameter fitted in the air inlet system of Student Formula SAE car’s engine. The ultimate goal of installing a restrictor is to regulate the engine's power output and performance increased by regulating the engine's mass flow. This research paper is ultimately aimed on improving the layout of the air inlet system, which functions as a venturi pipe with a 20 mm diameter of the throat as the restrictor. Through increasing the pressure drop across the venturi, this allows for a total allowable mass flow rate into the tube. Through considering the converging-diverging angles of venturi, analytical calculations based on standard findings were conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as a tool in ANSYS to achieve total mass flow speed and pressure fall throughout the venturi. Using the CFD method, it is observed from the analysis results that minimum pressure fall and peak output can be obtained through the venturi design by using the converging angle of 12 degrees and the diverging angle of 6 degrees.

The world’s demand on fossil fuel reserves is increasing rapidly and at the present rate of consumption, it is estimated that the world will soon be facing a severe energy crisis due to the exhaustion of fossil fuel resources. This paper is aimed at investigating the feasibility of using Palm Stearin Methyl Ester (PSME) as a fuel alternative for CI engines. The fatty acid profile of PSME was found using GCMS. Various blends of biodiesel were taken for experiments and their combustion, emission and performance characteristics of the engine were compared. The experiment was conducted on a Kirloskar TV1 VCR Engine at a standard Compression Ratio 17.5:1. The use of biodiesel blends reduces the frictional losses and thereby raises the engine’s mechanical efficiency. It is also evident that Palm Stearin biodiesel reduces Hydrocarbon (HC) and Carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. Thus, Palm Stearin biodiesel is found suitable for use as a possible fuel alternative to petro-diesel.

Plastic waste are the most dangerous material produced that can be harmful to humans and animals as well. Apart from this, it also affects the environment in number of ways. To reduce these adverse effects of plastic, this research deals with the preparation of concrete mixture from the PET plastic and cups along with the cement. This will help to reduce the plastic wastage present on the earth and also help to prepare strong concrete mixtures. In this research, the concrete mixture is prepared with cement, aggregates, water and some ratio of PET plastic. The plastic bottles and cups has been shredded by a plastic shredder to get the plastic coarse aggregate type of material. The ratios considered are 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% of the actual cement amount. The cubes are prepared of mixtures for compressive strength test and beams are casted for preforming the flexural test. The tests of these results are presented in this thesis in an effective way so that it can be helpful in making other further decision or conclusion. Overall, the results indicate that the compression strength and flexural strength values decreased as the amount of PET plastic is increased in the concrete mixtures. There can be only some amount of PET plastic in concrete mixtures but it can’t use high ratio of plastic in the mixtures.

Social media have found a remarkable jump in the number of users and their popularity in the last decade. The users of these social media platforms are found to express their opinion, views on different diverse topics. The discussion may be on a simple opinion regarding a particular product or opinion for a social issue. It might also be someone’s political view or view on some religious issue. At some point of time these discussions may enter into controversial topics and users may engage in some very provocative discussion in the social media platforms. For some considerable amount of time these issues have become common in social media. Users become aggressive at time in their opinion expressed in their posts. The aggressions in social media sometimes lead to disturbances in the social equilibrium. Many a time the situation goes so wrong that it disturbs the law and order situation may also lead to loss of life and public properties. Thus detection and control of these aggressions in social media websites is an important issue. In this paper we endeavor to make a systematic survey of various research works done in the area of detection of aggression in social media sites.

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) [1] is a popular choice in setting up cost-efficient alternative to provide broadband internet services to a larger geography. The performance of WMN is greatly impacted by the collision due to simultaneous transmissions by many users at the same time. This problem has been addressed by MAC layer using BEB [2] collision avoidance (CA) algorithm. There are many CA algorithms (EIED, EILD, MILD, PB, ISBA, EBO, HBA, etc.,) published in the recent past to reduce the collisions. These algorithms works better than BEB in specific network configurations (such as higher node density, delay sensitive data transmission …), otherwise they underperform when compared to BEB. This work proposes Scalable Polynomial Backoff (SPB) algorithm using fast decrease mechanism (after successful transmission) to support better throughput under varied node densities (grid sizes), and varied number of radio interfaces (1/2/3). The new algorithm has been tested for its performance using NS3 simulator [3]. The results show the SPB algorithm performs better than BEB in about 93% of network configurations against BEB and better than PB[4] algorithm in about 73% of network configurations (with application packet Size set to 1500 bytes).

Innovative development is relevant for companies and organizations of any scale and any specificity. Global trends, such as the advent of breakthrough technologies, digitalization and the acceleration of the product life cycle, are leading to radical changes in most industries. Value chains are changing, profitability zones are shifting, new players are appearing, and this fundamentally changes the balance of forces in industries, significantly accelerating the implementation of new ideas and developments. The frequency of new opportunities and threats, as well as the speed of their penetration into markets, continues to increase. Every year, new technologies penetrate our lives faster and faster, and companies have less time to implement them. Innovative products are a specific product on the market. The difficulties in perceiving new developments, especially those that form unique needs or replace existing goods and technologies, do not immediately allow us to organize a normal process of communication with potential consumers. This is mainly due to the formation of barriers for consumers to perceive new products, to overcome which unique methods are needed. The expansion of traditional marketing with digital marketing tools dramatically facilitates the task of exploring a new product, studying demand and promoting an innovative product. This article is devoted to the analysis of marketing and innovation activity at the stages of the value chain and the role of digital marketing in the value chain.

For the past five decades, Peterson’s elastic stress concentration factor (SCF) charts had been used as design tool for shoulder filleted shafts loaded in tension, bending and torsion. The demand for accurate data pertaining to the elastic stress concentration is rapidly increasing in the economical product design and development cycles. On the other hand, the use of finite element analysis (FEA) is becoming more popular, but the designers are still using the design charts of SCF because the notch stresses need to be calculated accurately without consuming time for meshing and refinement required to model the regions where stress concentration is expected to be high. The designers are often dependant on SCF for the standard geometries [1] to support this. The primary objective is to analyze the influence of taper on the SCF of a filleted shaft in tension. The comprehensive FE analyses were carried out over an ample range of shoulder filleted shaft geometries with varying taper in tension to evaluate elastic SCF and von-Mises SCFs. These finite element results are presented in the common graphical form and verified with the values published for several geometries in the literature. Also, the results reported in this paper demonstrate that there has been a significant reduction in the SCFs of shoulder filleted shaft with taper.

The ecological crisis in the developing countries like India has its own unique features, as unlike the developed nation-states of the West, in case of the former, the process of development and economic growth is essentially connected with the goal and the process of ‘nation-building’, which has still not been accomplished to its fullest. Nature’s Beckon, an activist group representing North-Eastern India has been doing some tremendous jobs in the arena of environmental concerns of the region from the 1980s till date. In the last two decades (1990s-2000s), the issue of rainforest conservation in Upper Assam was central to its agenda and policy framework. The connected forest areas of Upper Assam constitute the most isolated, unspoiled and dense tropical rainforests in India.

The study of indigenous groups with in-depth fieldwork has been the focus of anthropologists since long. Today such studies are not just confined to the discipline of Anthropology that earlier had a near monopoly over them, but are being pursued with varying degrees of skill and quality by scholars of other disciplines too, such as Political Science. Here the focus will be on understanding the socio-cultural aspects of the Moran community of Assam, predominantly inhabiting the Doomdooma region of Tinsukia district. The Morans are one of the aboriginal groups of people in Assam. The Morans had their own traditional belief system and social organizations which they have been maintaining till date in some transformed ways, even after the inclusion of Vaishnava belief in their socio-cultural sphere. Likely to many other tribes of India, neighbouring Jungles and their species and resources have had a crucial role in the socio-economic life of Moran villages. They can unanimously claim themselves as the ‘son of the soil’. However, changing political scenario down through the centuries, and the colonial and the post-colonial modernity brought a number of changes to the socio-economic practices as well as political organisations among the Morans.

The objective of this paper is to examine how hospital logistics influence patient satisfaction. Based on the literature, we proposed that hospital logistics has four factors: physical accessibility, waiting time, hospital hotel services and administrative procedures. A PLS-SEM model was developed and evaluated using data from a survey of 216 patients conducted in three public hospitals in Fez-Morocco. It was found that hospital logistics positively impacts patient satisfaction, which proves its role as a key driver of patient satisfaction. Consequently, healthcare decision-makers are called upon to pay more attention to logistics activities at the hospital to, among other things, improve patient satisfaction.

Rapid developments made in data mining technologies has explored the growth of real time applications. In general, clustering and classification are the two important tasks used for understanding the hidden patterns of the data. One of the most widely employed algorithm is, k Nearest Neighbor (k NN) which serves better for any classification purpose. This paper proposes a finding of optimal k value using k NN on medical data. Initially, a set of medical images are collected from a public repository. The collected images composed of irrelevant noises, low contrast with degraded quality. Gaussian filtering is employed to reduce the noise with enhanced image quality. The contrast enhanced image is processed under morphological operations in segmentation process. Feature extraction process play a vital role for selecting the optimal k values. Using Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), the relevant features are estimated and selected. These selected features are given as input to k NN algorithm and obtains the optimal k value based on accuracy. For a possible set of data folds, the achieved optimal k value dictates the effectiveness of the research objectives.

Tax compliance is one of the most critical issues for all countries. In Jordan, the high-income individual taxpayers such as medical doctors, engineers, and lawyers have low tax compliance rate. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect the tax compliance behavior (TCB) of high-income individual taxpayers in Jordan. This study extends the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with custom tax. The population of this study is the high-income individual taxpayers working as medical doctors, engineers, and lawyers in Jordan. A stratified random sampling technique was used in this study. A total of 485 complete and usable responses were collected using a questionnaire survey. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and Smart Partial Least Square (PLS). The findings showed that attitude, PBC (PBC) and subjective norms (SN) are important predictors of behavioral intention (BI). BI affected positively the TCB. In addition, the BI mediated partially the effect of PBC on TCB. Customs tax moderated negatively the effect of BI on TCB. Tax authorities are suggested to reduce the custom tax and increase the attitude, SN and PBC of the professional taxpayers.

Steganography is one way to hide messages on a media image. One method used in steganography is the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method. But in the LSB method there are still gaps to damage the message in the image if the image is modified. The most important aspect of steganography is the level of information hiding. Where it refers to how much the inability of a third party to detect the existence of hidden information. There is a way to avoid this gap by modifying the Least Significant Bit method with Redundant Pattern Encoding. With the RPE method, the gap in the LSB method can be overcome, because this method divides the two parts in the image, namely Patch A with Patch B, then incorporates the redundancy (multiplication) of messages into each patch in the image. The results of this study that modify the Least Significant Bit method with Redundant Pattern Encoding, namely, the image can survive if it undergoes Segmentation, Image Compression and Image Enhancement, where in Image Enhancement if the image experiences Sharpness with a maximum level of 25%, the image cannot survive if it is given Color Image Processing and Noise as a whole on both Patches.

The guidance for a student to select his appropriate career is given by the Expert system. Generally, the student is assessed by his/her academic excellence which includes his marks, CGPA and percentage in various subjects. Apart from them, the students need to be assessed in different factors like his ability to learning, patience, Intelligence and the problem solving capacity. By assessing him/her in all psychological aspects then the student is competent to know in which suitable job he/she is applicable. In such a way it is easy for a student to select his/her appropriate job and also gives the student’s cognitive model. All this process is outcome by using an Expert system called “Finding the Words” game. Keeping in mind the score student has obtained and the average time to complete the game reflects his/her fastness and capability of problem solving ability. Not only the time also the patience of the student is also reflected by the attempts he make. We can say that the student has great learning ability when his/her score increases day by day. Finally, after assessing all the psychological elements of the student, a table is designed with appropriate future careers for student. Also it chooses the best career from the predicted career’s by comparing the academic report and the report which is given based upon the psychological elements. The user who is a student play the game with the specialist framework and the framework can evaluate the mental elements of the students knowledge. By playing finding words game, evaluating mental components turns out to be simple. A lifelong evaluation framework (master framework) can propose reasonable jobs that suit an understudy.

Learning physics should be able to guide the students to identify and apply the principles they learned. The fact found in the field reveals that learning physics isn't optimal and students ' comprehension of learning is still weak. This has an effect on competency achievement that is not related to the demands of the 2013 curriculum. The learning resources available are not suitable for generating effective learning. A solution to this problem would be the use of learning resources in the form of study books in school.This research is a descriptive study. The thesis aims to describe the preliminary study of learning books production. The instruments used for the research were questionnaire sheets and interview sheets. Physics teachers and SMAN 2 Padang class X students were the research subjects. The preliminary study findings demonstrate. First, students ' competencies in physics of learning are still weak. Second, the teacher does not make optimum use of learning models and approaches that involve direct student activities. The learning books available do not provide the best direction for students in creating and applying concepts. This preliminary study explains the need to create a learning book using Inquiry-based learning model for physics learning of senior high school Class X.

There are several things that cause server down in the company, including natural disasters that cannot be predicted when they occur such as earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides and increased access to servers, especially in service providers and the Internet that result in heavy workloads on the server resulting in decreased server performance so the server can die suddenly. To overcome this problem, several solutions were made, namely to backup data and services using live migration technology. Live migration technology is one of the virtualization technologies that can move containers between servers or platforms live. But the live migration process requires a long time if the memory resource used is not suitable. In this study, testing and analysis will be conducted to improve the live migration process from platform to platform. This test uses Docker as a container for packaging applications, CRIU (Checkpoint / Restore in Userspace) as a tool for the process of live migration, NFS (Network File System) as a protocol for distributing system files over the network and using Magento services as research objects to be migrated. The results obtained from this study are that platforms use memory greater than platform1 and require less time than platform1. This is because platform2 has a RAM value greater than platform1

Elections are the most important event in any democratic country and conducting them safe and transparent is a challenging job for the agencies. This is because most of the electoral agencies are nowadays dealing with a huge number of voters and voting booths in remote locations. So the challenge to protect the vote after the voting process becomes more tedious and financial burden to the country. To secure this data in the most efficient and trusted manner various technologies are used. One of the trending techniques used in a distributed environment to secure data is blockchain. Blocks in blockchain have body and header. In most of the trivial systems, the body of the block contains plain transactions that is threat to the system. So this paper puts its efforts to investigate the pros and cons of the past research work to understand them in detail. This understanding will lead to a conclusion on providing greater security for the election data with less complexity.

Coprological analysis was conduction during February, 2017 to January, 2019 to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths in stray cats of Kashmir valley, India. Fecal floatation and sedimentation technique revealed helminths in 349 scats out of 887 scats, with an overall prevalence of 39.43%. The study revealed four species of helminths in scats. Cats harboring one helminth were (6.31%), those harboring two were common (19.16%), than three (13.30%) or four (0.5%). The helminths observed and their respective frequencies detected were: Toxocara cati (26.49%), Dipylidium caninum (19.39%), Spirometra spp. (18.15%) and Taenia spp. (22.50%). Toxocara cati, a nematode with great zoonotic significance, was most common helminth found in scats of cat during the study. We observed significant seasonal variation (p<0.05) of prevalence in the gastrointestinal helminths, with high prevalence during summer followed by autumn, spring and least in winter. The high prevalence of zoonotic helminth species in stray cats in the Kashmir valley indicates that the risk of zoonotic infection may be high. This study will help veterinarians to plan preventative and diagnostic strategies with regard to pet animal intestinal parasites.

As one of the countries affected the most by global warming and climate change, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events occurring recently in Vietnam are increasing. Floods, among others, are one of the most damage disasters in Vietnam. In this paper, we illustrate how satellite data (especially free SAR data from the Sentinel-1 satellite) can be used to monitor floods, at 30 m spatial resolution, in the North Vietnam where the cloud cover is very high. Although there is no reference inundated map at the same spatial and temporal resolutions for comparison, SAR-derived permanent surface water map is in good agreement with free-cloud Landsat-derived surface water map. This study shows strong potential of SAR satellite observations for monitoring and forecasting applications over highly cloud-covered environments like the tropical regions.

One of the major threat in today’s world is depletion of fossil fuels. After the discovery of IC engine hundred years ago fossil fuels played a major role in the development of every country. After the discovery of fossil fuels in the Middle East every country fought, there were several wars between the nations to get fossil fuels from them. So this shows the importance of fossil fuels. The alternative to fossil fuels are bio-diesel, bio-alcohol and electricity. In our country, 80% of the electricity is produced from fossil fuels so electricity cannot be a suitable alternative to fossil fuels. Biodiesel and bio-alcohol derived organically could be an alternative to fossil fuels. Biodiesel can be produced from various oils such as corn oil, rice bran oil, waste cooking oil, rape seed oil, orange peel oil, but compared to all of, bio -diesel produced from Jatropha has a calorific value nearer to diesel and it is non-edible in nature which is not being consumed by human beings, so we have selected Jatropha bio-diesel as an alternative to diesel. But using of blends of Jatropha bio-diesel with diesel produce higher NOx emission, which can be reduced by after treatment method but they are costlier in application. The main objective of this experimental work is to reduce the NOx emission by using methanol fumigation in the inlet manifold of the CI engine selected.

Public spaces are essential for the social and psychological development of children since informal learning, attitudinal and behavioural formation occur in such areas. However, most public spaces in Nigeria are incapable of nurturing the socio-psychological development of children. This is ascribed to numerous challenges, which prevent children from adequately using designated public spaces. Therefore, this study examined the various challenges that hamper the use of child-friendly public spaces in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. The methodology adopted survey research design, 114 respondents (57 adults and 57 children) were randomly selected from different locations in Ilorin. The quantitative data were analysed through descriptive and inferential techniques. The results indicated that public spaces in Ilorin lack the basic architectural landscape element required to facilitate the socio-psychological development of children. In addition, it was observed that existing public spaces are not adequately reserved for children, while most are overtaken by the adults who use the spaces for assemblies or businesses. Hence, the existing public spaces are unsuitable due to the lack of basic architectural landscape element required to enable the socio-psychological development of children.

The reticulocyte production index (RPI), a standard metric used in the diagnosis of anemia, is calculated using two formulas. The first formula adjusts for anemia using the patient’s hemoglobin or hematocrit level to generate an expected hemoglobin/hematocrit ratio. The second formula adjusts for prematurely released reticulocytes based on the reticulocyte maturation time, as determined from the patient’s hematocrit level. However, modern automated hematology analyzers provide a wide array of data in addition to reticulocyte count (calculated as a percentage), including both the absolute reticulocyte count and the immature reticulocyte fraction. Using these parameters, we developed a new indicator, the absolute mature reticulocyte count (AMRC) which we evaluated relative to RPI values. A total of 1,349 samples were tested in terms of complete blood count (CBC) and reticulocyte count using a fully automated hematology analyzer (XE-2100; Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan). The AMRC, calculated as AMRC = reticulocyte count × LFR (low fluorescence ratio), was compared with the RPI, calculated based on the “continuous maturation time” (RPI-C) and “stepwise maturation time” (RPI-S). The AMRC and RPI-C, and the AMRC and RPI-S, showed strong positive correlations (r2 = 0.87 and 0.76, respectively). Although the RPI is widely used for estimating red blood cell (RBC) production in the clinical setting, AMRC was shown to correlate well with RPI. Moreover, because AMRC does not require hematocrit correction, it can be readily automated and practically applied.

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be defined as a self-organizing multi-hop network composed of several sensor nodes that are scattered within a particular region by means of wireless communication. The network also faces some critical barriers such as the transmission of redundant data, consumption of energy owing to heterogeneous traffic and fault tolerance. Aggregation of data is an extremely critical technique that is used for data processing in the WSN. With aggregation of data, energy consumption can be reduced by the elimination of all types of redundant data or by means of bringing down the packets forwarded. There are several routing protocols that are based on clustering which provide efficient methods to extend the WSN lifetime. It further involves large node quantity which entails the multi-hop network wherein the nodes interact for vicinity with one another that has higher routing responsibilities. Connected Dominating Set (CDS) will serve to be a backbone for the WSN as there has been no infrastructure that is fixed or any centralized management available in the WSN. Using the CDS, routing can become easier and easily adaptable to changes in topology. The problem of the CDS is extensively studied using undirected graphs in the Unit Disk Graphs (UDG), wherein every senor node has the same range of transmission. In this work, a Multi-hop - Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (M-LEACH) based protocol with a multiverse optimized CDS algorithm is proposed. The results have proved that the method was attain the better levels of performance in terms of the number of clusters, energy consumption, and lifetime computation. It also has a lower end-to-end delay and packet loss rate.

Nowadays, forecasted data for load and renewable generation is available with a very short time interval. These load and renewable generation forecasts always have uncertainties. Hence, in the presence of renewable-based distributed generations, conventional approaches of reconfiguration may not be effective. Very few efforts in a probabilistic manner exist to perform these types of uncertainties. It requires the historical database to be presented. It is still a challenge to account for the haphazard uncertainties. Hence, the uncertainties in load and forecasts of renewable generation are considered in this work and the optimal reconfiguration of the distribution network is proposed.

While the eastern part of coastal belt of India is considered as one of the most cyclone prone areas in the world, Odisha is considered as more vulnerable as compared to the other eastern states of India. Cyclones can be detrimental to the environment. The literature on considerable impacts of cyclones on the human lives, infrastructure and environment has been reported scantily. So this review is based on the major cyclonic storms hitted to Odisha coast and cyclone resistant plants found in Odisha. In this review it was found that the cyclone resistant trees like Azedirachta indica, Millettia pinnata (L.) Panigrahi, Mimusops elengi L., Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Br., Senegalia catechu var. (L.F.) P. J. H. Hurter & Mabb., Terminalia arjuna, Saraca asoca, Terminalia chebula Retz., Terminalia bellirica, Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. ex DC. Magnolia champaca, Ficus racemosa L. can be planted for getting protection from damage. Cyclone resistant plants can be selected on the basis of their deep penetration of root with tap root system and susceptibility to trunk. Strength of the trunk varies between species to species due to differences in the capacity of wind resistance, its flexibility, density of wood, crown symmetry and the presence of damaged hollows caused by termites. During cyclone trees can protect the properties from debris attack and protect the structure safe from damaging structures further downwind. So selection of proper species must be necessary to ensure that tree which is planting either cyclone resistant or not.

Communication is the main channel to interact between individuals with each other. Due to birth defects, accidents and oral disorders, there has been a drastic increase in the number of deaf and dumb victims in recent years. Since deaf and dumb people are unable to communicate with ordinary people, they must rely on some kind of visual communication. Throughout the world, most languages are spoken and interpreted. The people, that is, those who find it difficult to speak and hear "The Dumb" and "The Deaf," It's hard to understand exactly what the other person is trying to communicate with the deaf, and so on. Key recognition issues for hand gesture are consistent with the complexities of the gesture process. Also offered methods for evaluating the process of identifying recent postures and gestures. Hand gesture recognition is becoming an increasingly popular field of research in human computer interaction. Considering the similarity of human hand form with four fingers and a thumb, this paper aims to present a real-time hand gesture recognition system focusing on recognizing some important shape-based features such as orientation, center of mass (centroid), finger position, thumb in terms of raised or folded hand fingers and their respective location in the image. The solution in this paper depends entirely on the shape parameters of the hand gesture. This does not include any other means of identification of hand gesture such as skin color, texture, as these image-based characteristics vary greatly from different light conditions to other variables. This basic form-based approach to hand gesture recognition proposed in this paper can identify around 1-5 different gestures based on the performance of this algorithm. This proposed implemented algorithm was evaluated over 50-60 images and provides approximately 94 percent recognition level. However, the recognition rate remains to be improved at the identification level.

Applications of Renewable Energy Sources increased rapidly on the limited availability of fossil fuels and the environmental awareness over the decades. Hybrid System uses two or more input sources for the single output and this is normally used over the limited availability of renewable energy sources. Wind Energy and solar Energy are normally used as sources in hybrid energy system whereas fuel cells are also used in some limited applications. This paper proposes a multilevel Inverter system for hybrid energy sources with unequal voltage values. The proposed converter is explained with and without Boost operation. This paper also proposes a suitable PWM technique to control the voltage and frequency of the system and also to make the system ready for grid connection. The MATLAB/ Simulink simulation with the results are presented to validate the performance of proposed multilevel inverter system.

The conventional method of classroom communication always carries the probability of the existence of a wall between the students and the teachers. The one way method of communication prevailing in the common classrooms has always been treated as a major threat to the effectiveness of a fruitful communication. The process of education is assumed as an established system of communication through which the sender disseminates knowledge related information to the learners. But in the conventional way of classroom communication only limited information can be shared with the learners and normally it conducts one-way communication (though virtually it is both way communication). Therefore, there is a scope for further study for innovation in the classroom communication with new thoughts and ideas. In this paper attempt has been made to explore the probability of using some select tools of performing arts for demolishing the prevailing wall between students and the teachers during the communication in the classroom.

In this investigational research, the performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has been tackled. The research studies the impact of the use of recycled fine and coarse aggregates on fresh and hardened properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Workability, compressive strength and flexural strength are examined in this paper. The effect of the use of silica fume (SF) as a method to enhance the behavior of RAC was studied. SF was used to replace the cement at contents (by mass) of 5%, 10% and 15%. Six mixtures were investigated. The mixtures made with recycled fine (RF) aggregate (at content of 50%) and natural coarse aggregate were four; these mixes made with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% of silica fume. One mix was made with 50% RF aggregates and 100% recycled coarse aggregate. Also, a reference mix which includes natural fine and coarse aggregates was prepared for comparison purpose. It was concluded that using RF aggregates diminish the workability and strength of RAC. The use of SF decreases the workability of RAC though it enhances the compressive and flexural strength of RAC. If SF is used at contents within 10% to 15% of cement mass in RAC, its strength can be significantly enhanced.

Accountability not only depends on an individual or an organization, but also it is the responsibility of all parties related to the organization’s interests. Accountability for managing the village funds through BUMDES (village-owned enterprises) has become the main focus of the government, because it reflects good governance. JH. Theory of stakeholders becomes a reference in exploring the willingness and ability of BUMDES managers. A qualitative approach with case study is used to explore factors that support and hinder accountability in BUMDES. The aspect of cultural values combined with the elements of BUMDES transformational leadership has become a factor encouraging good accountability. Factors that hamper accountability which are traced from the behavior aspect of BUMDES members is the indiscipline of BUMDES managers, and the existence of Javanese cultural factors i.e. the culture of underestimating of accountability which reporting is considered as unimportant.

Currently, special attention in the economy of developed countries is paid to the development of ecological tourism services. This is one of the forms of outdoor activities, where a person not only restores his health but also receives aesthetic pleasure, observing flora and fauna of the environment. The purpose of ecotourism is the rational use of nature in the tourist direction to ensure the environmental safety of the future generation and its stable development. To recognize ecotourism, the following requirements must be met: the service provided must be environmentally friendly, the transport service of tourists environmentally friendly, drinking and food products must be environmentally friendly and healthy, which must contain local products, qualified guides must accompany tourists to places of interest. The paper analyzes the three-factor model "Economics – Ecology – Social", in which the socio-cultural factor is added to economic and environmental indicators. To illustrate multidimensional qualitative variables an oriented graph is conveniently used in work, in which the vertices are a set of scenarios, and the directional arrows are possible transitions between scenarios. The described qualitative model is a flexible modelling tool and allows you to analyze the development of systems that have exceptional properties or are strongly influenced by qualitative factors. The tourism industry is a complex object consisting of various subsystems, the functioning of which depends on many external factors. These factors are sometimes almost impossible to quantify but can be qualitatively assessed, i.e. evaluate the impact of qualitative factors on quantitative indicators and how they are interrelated. Qualitative modelling is a formalized logical thinking algorithm that allows you to create a simulation model of an integrated system.

The motive of this paper is to create a routine tripping mechanism. For a three phase system, the output of our project resets for the temporary fault, while, in case of permanent fault, it trips the system. These shortcomings are detected by our gadget and it naturally separates the inventory to keep away from blast/fire harm which may influence the control equips in the sub-stations. The stumbling framework is made by utilizing 3, 1-stage transformers which have both info and yield in star association, and 3 transformers in delta associations with contribution of 220 volt and yield of 12 volt. Here low voltage testing is shown. For both transient and long span flaws 555 clocks are utilized. To activate tripping mechanism, switches are used which creates the three types of fault in low voltage side. Transient/Short duration fault gives a quick recovery as a temporary trip whereas longer duration of faults gives a permanent trip. This technique, if extended may help in IOT based applications for SMS based services to customers as well as utilities for fault detection.

A significant role is played by media in any democratic setup by informing audiences about the agendas and ideologies of different political parties and outfits. Apart from being watchdog of the society and informing people about the use of political power by politicians, media also establishes the image of the political parties. The political campaigns in different forms of media like print, electronic and internet helped in shaping opinion of the people. The influence of social media is increasing leaps and bounds and the information reaches to the desired population. With every new general and legislative assembly elections, there will be more number of youth populations than before and social media will be the tool to reach out to the younger population. Social media apart from being the important tool in the field of communication technologies also helps in connecting to the audience on more frequent basis. The social media can actually help politicians to reinforce their ideologies and agendas by increasing their presence. Social media helps in maximum participation at reduced cost and hence more impact as compared to traditional media. This paper studies the use of social media by political parties and subsequent impact in the minds of the voters. The paper took into consideration how political parties promote their messages and their own image among their supporters and other peoples in social media. The paper also aims to find how people perceive political discussion and campaigns on social media. The paper aims to conduct survey questionnaire from a sample of 500 respondents in Delhi NCR region. The social media has helped in bridging gaps between individual and society. It acts as horizontal media of communication providing benefits of participatory democracy in the current scenario.

The tendency of continuous increase in electricity consumption cannot continue forever. Many countries are actively conducting policies to reduce electricity consumption and increase energy efficiency. Their efforts are targeted in several directions - renovation of residential and industrial buildings, use of energy-saving appliances in households, optimization of electricity consumption in industry, etc. The application of new technologies and the energy generation from renewable sources have created a mix of factors that have an unpredictable impact on electricity consumption. This greatly complicates the estimation of its dependence on the other factors as well as its long-term prediction. The article presents the results of conducted research on the relationship between electricity consumption in Bulgaria and six socio-economic and demographic factors – GDP, Energy intensity, Population, Annual income, Electricity price for the industry and Electricity price for households. The results presented are part of a larger study to create a comprehensive model for forecasting electricity consumption in Bulgaria.

The prevalence of accounting scandals and inconsistent findings from hitherto studies on real earnings management have incited the need to improve the relevance of financial reporting by setting up different and sound governance mechanisms coupled with the introduction of mediating variables to improve the earnings quality. This paper examines the mediating effect of the internal audit committee on the relationship between a firm financial audit and real earnings management in listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The data were obtained from Thomson Reuters DataStream and financial reports of firms from 2011-2017. The fixed effects, random effects (GLS) and the generalized method of moments (GMM) were used for panel data regression analysis using the firm financial audit and real earnings management. The findings showed that the internal audit committee mediates the relationship between a firm financial audit and real earnings management. Further analysis revealed that audit fees and brand name auditors have positively impacted on the earnings quality while audit tenure was found to be less effective in deterring real earnings manipulation. The findings also indicated that firm size and leverage were found to be less impacted by the earnings quality. There is a need for much emphasis on the use of competent audit committee independence among listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. This could help in ensuring an effective monitoring strategy and restraining real earning manipulation.

Presently self-start two-wheelers, including motorcycles and scooters between 50 - 200 cc capacities, use standard lead-acid battery of 5, 9 and 12 Ah rating as the energy source. A battery is a well-known energy source, but it cannot supply a large amount of power in a short time. The size of the battery is decided based on the starter motor requirement. Further, deep discharge at the time of cranking reduces the life of the battery drastically as compared to normal use. Also, an extra factor of safety is provided for cold weather cranking performance, poor maintenance and end of live performance in view of deep discharge. Hence the battery becomes heavy and bulky. On the other hand, Ultra-capacitors can supply a large burst of power for short time but cannot store much energy, hence a limited number of starts. Decentralized Ultra-capacitors network is another major advantage in the future of automobile sector.

The paper intends to highlight the emerging crisis among the Bodos over the question of community representation and leadership. The post-accord phase has witnessed the rise of differences among the Bodo leaders on the question of autonomy, sovereignty and the protection of identity. The struggle for political power among different heads, the betrayal laments against the ruling party from within the community, mobilization and counter-mobilization have brought many complexities and intricacies into BTAD politics. The paper addresses the problem, looks into the political dynamics of the Bodos through the theoretical lens of ethnic-outbidding. The paper further entails BTC elections where one can be familiar with the effects of ethnic-outbidding, presence of ethnic-fragmentations and violence. The paper draws the sources from the existing literatures as well as from the informal discussions with a few Bodo leaders. Broadly, an attempt has been made to corelate the process of outbidding, the role of Indian State, its peace-making mechanisms with the existing complexities, political intricacies and violence in the region.

This study focuses on analysing comparative haematology and serum-biochemical paramaeters of indigenous Vanaraja and broiler chicken.For this investigation two different breeds of chicken such as; Indigenous Vanaraja chicken and broiler chicken were used as the experimental birds. The haematological parameters includes White Blood Cell (WBC), Red Blood Cell (RBC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Differential Leukocyte Count ( DLC) whereas the biochemical parameters includes albumin, globulin, cholesterol, glucose etc. The WBC value of both the species was statistically different from each other and was significant at p<0.01. The RBC value was statistically non-significant in the breeds. The Hb concentration, PCV, MCV and MCH value was higher in case of Indigenous Vanaraja chicken than the broiler chicken and was statistically significant at p<0.001. However the MCHC value was non-significant for both the breeds. The Lymphocyte count was higher in Broiler chicken than the Indigenous Vnaraja chicken and was significant at p<0.01, the Heterophil count was non-significant, Monocyte count was non-significant at p>0.05, Eosinophil count was statistically significant at p<0.01 and the Basophil count was non-significant at p>0.05.There was no significant difference seen in between both indigenous and broiler for the Total protein concentration.The serum albuminconcentration was significant at (P=0.05). The concentration of different serum constituents of broilerand indigenous chickens was significant at (P=0.001).Cholesterol content in broiler was significantly higher than indigenous chickens at (P<0.001). Serum globulin concentration in the broiler and indigenous was non-significant at (P˃0.05). Ratio of concentration of serum albumin/globulin in broiler was and indigenous was non- significant at(P˃0.05).The above study suggested the highest rank of Haemoglobin concentration in Vanaraja chicken, because it is more active than Broiler chicken and the oxygen consumption rate is more. The haematological parameters differs from each other in both the breeds due to the several factors such as; low immunity, environmental factors, change in number, size and shape of blood cell. The genetic traits also have effect on the haematological parameters of both the types of birds. High serum albumin was caused by dehydration. The high or low glucose level was due to may be due to the consumption of diet rich in grain.

Technology sets new record as people discover novel ideas of the application of technology. Some of these innovations paved a way to give solutions to the problems in various fields especially in agriculture. The identified problem is that plant pathologists use different applications such as Google Earth and Microsoft Excel in managing the data given by the growers that will lead to disorganization of location data. Moreover, handling large amount of data with the GPS coordinates as the only identifier on the map can be tedious and consumes significant effort when retrieving the specific data or information needed. In order to address the issues, a plant pathologists’ geotagging and monitoring system for infected banana plant was designed and developed as a remedy to the problem of the plant pathologist’s recording, monitoring of sample with diseases in the vast hectares of banana plantations. It is called GETMOSYS. The GETMOSYS application has two parts: a website that is specifically created to be used by the Pathologist and the mobile application that is created to be used by the growers for their grower representatives. Prototyping predictive model was used as the system development method in developing and implementing the software. Black box testing was used for the software testing functionality of the website and mobile application. One plant pathologist and 24 personnel of a banana plantation evaluated the system usability using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ).

Short term traffic prediction is essential in the modern intelligent transportation systems. Numerous algorithms were developed for time serious traffic prediction. Long short term memory network (LSTM) is a time serious prediction model which is able to integrate multiple variables such as flow, weather and precipitation. Most of the researches were carried out using the main source of data such as total flow or average speed to predict the vehicle congestion. Weather and rainfall are other factors which are gradually increase the traffic congestion in the crowded city. In this paper, LSTM network is proposed for multivariate analysis based traffic flow prediction. Traffic data contains noise and missing values due to device failures and communication problems. Missing data has been imputed and noise are removed using stacked denoise autoencoder (SDAE). Results are compared with LSTM based univariate analysis and convolutional neural network (CNN) based multivariate analysis. According to the results of LSTM based Multivariate (flow, weather, precipitation) approach without missing value reduces the RMSE error rate to 15.01 to predict the future congestion of a road.

The major problem that faces the use of nano-clay in concrete or in cement mortars is its high-water demand. Many researchers had investigated the reason for the high water demand was due to the high agglomeration behavior of nano-clay when mixed with water. Sonication is one of the methods used to de-agglomerate nano-clay particles and to improve the dispersion of nano-clay in the cement matrix. This research aims to reach the optimum indirect sonication time and the solid to liquid ratio that enhances the dispersion of nano-clay and consequently increases its reactivity in high strength cement mortars. The particle size distribution of the sonicated nano-clay particles and the corresponding specific surface area were the main keys governing the optimization process of the studied parameters. Using the optimum solid to liquid ratio with the corresponding sonication time, cement mortars were prepared, and their compressive strength as compared to a control mix (without nano-clay addition) was measured as an indication of the reactivity of nano-clay. In addition the performed microstructural analysis, SEM and XRD helped in confirming the compressive strength results. The results revealed that the optimum solid to liquid ratio is 1:6. Moreover, for every concentration, there is an optimum indirect sonication time. The optimum sonication time found to be 10 minutes for a solid to liquid ratio 1:6. By using the optimum concentration, an improvement in compressive strength of 18.7% and 22.6% after 7 and 28 days reached as compared to the control mix.

In this paper, a new topology of two-stage cascaded switched-diode (CSD) multilevel inverter is proposed for medium voltage renewable strength integration. Firstly, aims to limit the number of switches along with its gate drivers. Thus, the installation space and fee of a multilevel inverter are reduced. The spike removal switch added in the first stage of the inverter gives a flowing direction for the reverse load current, and as a result, excessive voltage spikes going on at the base of the stepped output voltage based upon conventional cascaded switched-diode multilevel inverter topologies are removed. Moreover, to resolve the problems related to DC source fluctuations of multilevel inverter used for renewable power integration, the clock section shifting (CPS) one-cycle control (OCC) is developed to control the two-stage CSD multilevel inverter. By shifting the clock pulse section of every cascaded unit, the staircase-like output voltage waveforms are obtained and a strong suppression capacity against fluctuations in DC sources is achieved.

Organisms that reside in the oral cavity become an important aspect of health and disease. Disruption of the oral health and hygiene has been attributed to the presence of abnormal microflora. Consumption of tobacco has been considered to be a leading cause for the presence of abnormal oral microflora, in turn disrupting the oral health. In this study, 45 respondents were targeted from South Mumbai who consumed tobacco in smokeless forms. Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was isolated from oral swabs of smokeless tobacco consumers and compared against controls. The strain was characterized using phenotypic and genotypic approaches. The presence of Klebsiella was reported in 24 of the 45 samples. Sequence comparison of 16S rRNA gene and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the presence of Klebsiella strain. The sequence obtained was submitted to the NCBI Gene bank that has been granted an accession number- KM186520. During the course of our study we observed Klebsiella pneumoniae to exhibit green fluorescent colonies under UV spectroscopy. λmax of the fluorescent chromophore was estimated to be 220 nm with OD of 1.785. Our analysis provides evidence that Klebsiella pneumoniae in the oral micro flora of the tobacco consumers exhibits a novel phenomenon of fluorescence.

Human knowledge about spices has been known since the history of European civilization in the ancient era, the Middle Ages, until the beginning of the modern age. Pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon are the main spices of Europeans. Exotic spices coming from the eastern world were introduced by Arab traders through Constantinople and Alexandria and then headed to a number of cities in Greece and other cities in Europe. Since the spice had entered and become part of the European mind, spice knowledge gave birth to various influences and implications for various aspects of human life. Colonialism and imperialism, the discovery of the new world, maritime technology and natural knowledge, including medical science and culinary traditions, and geospatial world are parts of the influence and implications of spices on European mind from the XIV century to the XVII century. The chronicles of the history of spices cannot be separated from the view of life of European mind in viewing the eastern world especially Maluku as the place of origin of clove and nutmeg spices, a world laden with mythical traditions of ancient times, the effects of “anesthetic worldly pleasures” that conflict with medieval spirits, including freedom of thought which is a symbol of modern human patrons. The adverse effects and benefits of spices for the European mind also gave birth to knowledge that had epistemological implications for various scientific narratives in the history of human life.

With Wireless functionality, we can model both terrestrial and satellite radio Systems. Radio communication is used to implement and administrate the Telecommunication networks. Usually this implementation will takes place at the physical level of the OSI model network. We create a radio network by using modeler and wireless modeling. Also we will observe the quality variations in the received signal. This quality variation arises from radio interference at the accepting node in a powerful system topology. In a wireless system, the obstruction can diminish the sign to commotion proportion (SNR). The SNR in a system can be improved utilizing various sorts of reception apparatuses, for example, directional receiving wires and by expanding the compelling sign quality at the beneficiary. To analyze the performance of the network with jammer device, we will structure a straight forward radio system with a portable jammer hub and two stationary correspondences hubs, and afterward the distinctions in the SNR of the system has been broke down when the stationary hubs utilize a directional receiving wire versus an isotropic reception apparatus. The OPNET Modeler, a network performance analysis software tool is used to create a network model. In this paper we evaluated the receiver BER, received power, and throughput with two antenna patterns. Also a timer controller is designed to compare the situation of the jammer with BER.

MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs with property of regulating gene expression in both plants and animals. They bind to their specific mRNA targets with near complementarity and regulate their expression either by cleavage or translational inhibition. Cross-kingdom regulation by miRNAs is the new concept where miRNAs from one species are able to target the mRNA of other species. Various biological pathways are under the control of these miRNAs which are critical for functioning of human biological system. NF-kB (Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) pathway is one such pathway which plays very important link between inflammation and cancer, as it often gets activated by stimuli from proinflammatory molecules such as cytokines and chemokines. Various plant derived phytocompounds such as terpenoids and flavonoids have been reported to show their inhibitory effect on activation of this pathway. The present study is aimed at identification of miRNAs from plant kingdom which can target the genes of NF-kB pathway. Functional annotation and pathway analysis categorized the genes into different classes of proteins and biological pathways, where ‘signaling molecule’ and ‘CCKR signaling map’ were the most enriched classes of proteins and pathways, respectively. Protein-protein interactions showed a strong association between CXCL8, a cytokine and TNFAIP6, a member of hyaluronan-binding protein family. miRNA-target gene regulatory network identified VEGFA as the top hub with highest degree and betweenness centrality having maximum number of interactions. The pathway distribution of the nodes showed ‘Pathways in Cancer’ the most enriched pathway comprising 5 genes, VEGFA, TRAF3, TRAF6, AKT3 and BCL2. The findings have explored the putative miRNAs from plants targeting the crucial genes of NF-kB pathway which can be further explored for their regulatory potential in therapeutic aspects using translational approaches.

Increasing the practicality in mathematics education has been a trend of most countries in the world. With this trend, students find that mathematics is not an abstract subject far removed from reality. One of the pioneers in teaching mathematics to be associated with real-life is Hans Freudenthal - Dutch mathematics educator. He developed the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) with the idea that teaching mathematics must start a realistic situation; today this theory has been widely applied not only in the Netherlands but also in many parts of the world. In order to approach RME into mathematics education in Vietnam, we developed the RME-based teaching model and conducted research with the teaching of cosine theorem - Geometry 10 to verify its feasibility. The results showed that if the teacher used RME – based teaching, students could learn cosine theorem by abstracting and generalizing from a real situation; thereby, they found that mathematics is very close to life, creating a motivation for learning mathematics for them. From this, we can assert that teaching with the RME approach meets the goal of mathematics education in Vietnam in the present and upcoming period in the 21st century, and it needs to be studied and widely applied in mathematics teaching in Vietnam.

The emissions from FBC (Fluidized Bed Combustion) are dependent on temperature, staged air, excess air, fuel feed rate and fuel properties. In this paper therefore, an accurate report of the experimental results taken in a staged air fluidized bed combustion scale is given. It is important to note that during the experiment, palm shell was used as fuel and silica sand as inert material. The silica sand was used to ensure sustainable combustion in FBC while changing of fuel feeding rate was carried out successfully by modifying the rotation of Miki pulley with time. Furthermore, the amount of partial changes in excess and secondary air were obtained through measurement. The gaseous emissions of CO and CO2 concentrations were measured using TOCSIN 320 gas analyzer while the temperatures along the combustor height and the flue gas were obtained using the K-type thermocouples. According to the results obtained, 0% and 60%EA at 40%SA is the most favorable condition when trying to reduce CO emission. However, increasing of air staging level will reduce the CO2 concentration at 60%EA.

In this work the impact of spacer in InGaAs/InP hetero stepped double gate MOS transistor is investigated by a 2D TCAD device simulator. To minimize the short channel effects (SCEs), under lap technique is used symmetrically in either side of the gate. However, it considerably decreases the On current due to enhanced channel resistance. Thus the spacers on under lap region are one of the solutions to overwhelm these problems. Therefore, difficulties associated with conventional under lap DG MOSFET can be eliminated with significant improvement in On current and intrinsic gain. Further, to reduce the punch-through effect, stepped gate concept is integrated in the double gate MOSFET to attain a better control on the channel carriers that eventually reduces the leakage current. So this paper presents a comparison made between symmetric spacer underlap hetero stepped double gate (SSUHS-DG) MOSFET and hetero stepped double gate (HS-DG) MOSFET; so far SSUHS-DG MOSFET offers better device performance.

Vehicle flow estimation is an important part of traffic management system. It plays an important role in tracking systems, automatic video surveillance and also to avoid collision. This paper proposes a method to estimate the speed of vehicles on the highways and city areas. The proposed method can be effectively implemented to control the over speed vehicles and to found guilty in leading to traffic accidents. Each vehicle in the video recorded by the camera is identified. A bounding box is created on the identified vehicle and its centroid coordinates are marked. The analysis of speed is done using mathematical formulae which are embedded in the software. The existing research in this field has certain limitations. The first limitation is consumption of a lot of memory to store videos in the hard drive. The second limitation is inaccuracy of the system in unpleasant weather conditions such fog, haze, rain, and heavy winds, etc. Some systems failed to crate proper bounding box as it is necessary for accurate analysis of the motion of the vehicle and its speed. Another disadvantage is that shadow produced by vehicles on the different lanes of the road creates a fuss and the system detects the shadow too as a different object and creates a bounding box over it. There are other hardware based methods such as radar gun also. Cosine errors occurred when the direction of the vehicle and the radar gun doesn’t match. The objective of the proposed work is to develop a system which can provide the alternative to the radar based systems which can detect multiple vehicles at the same time. We have evaluated the proposed method on various traffic videos and found that the proposed method accurately detect the speed of a vehicle and outperforms many state-of-the-art approaches.

This paper uses a FACTS device, UPFC for damping power oscillation in transmission systems as the power oscillations might increase risk of instability in the system and may also reduce power quality when the power system is being exposed to any disturbance. FACTS controllers permit newer approaches to system stabilization. In the proposed system, whenever power oscillations are detected due to any system disturbance the UPFC provides voltage support and improves the power system stability. The proposed system improves damping performance when compared with other methods. Harmonics is reduced in this proposed system. The quicker power oscillation damping using UPFC ensures smooth and reliable flow of the power through transmission line. This paper implements the control scheme and result is thus obtained for oscillations damping using Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) based on the computer simulations using the MATLAB software.

Faculty performance appraisal plays a vital role in motivating faculty members to enhance their teaching skills and strengthen their commitment to quality education. Traditionally, colleges and universities administer the evaluation process using printed evaluation forms. Scores are manually summed-up per area of assessment and encoded in spreadsheets, thus evaluation results are not promptly obtained. This research project intends to expedite the process of faculty evaluation by providing a LAN-based faculty performance appraisal system that allows students, peers, and superiors to fill up Qualitative Contribution Evaluation (QCE) forms in network-connected workstations. All records of student and faculty evaluators are imported from the university enrolment master list to ensure that only registered students and active faculty members can log into the system. The deans or superiors needs to configure the evaluation date and assign courses to faculty members to ensure that they will be evaluated by the right set of students. Once the QCE forms are filled – up and submitted, evaluation results are generated. College deans and department heads can view the scores and the comments. Detailed and summary reports in printable or downloadable file formats are also provided. The Agile development method was used to allow the researchers to deliver output incrementally incorporating user requirements and feedbacks in each iteration. The system was created using PHP and MySQL and can be accessed through an internet browser. Several test cases have been undertaken to ensure the reliability and correctness of results. Considering the testing results and feedbacks from IT specialists, iterative debugging and refinement have been performed to improve the quality of the system. The performance of the system was evaluated by 100 respondents using the ISO 25010 Evaluation Criteria and obtained an "Excellent" rating with the overall mean of 4.76. Eighty-two percent (82%) of the evaluators were in favor of utilizing the developed system. This proved that the respondents recognized the need for a faster evaluation method and that the LAN-based Faculty Performance Appraisal System can be a replacement to the manual evaluation system. It is the aim of the researchers to integrate this project into the university’s enrolment system and create a web or mobile version of the system.

Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) practiced by major multinational players is one of the chief concerns that clouds effective retrieval of revenue by the governments of the involved jurisdictions. In order to overcome this problem, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and European Union (EU) have been working continuously for the past many years on combating such practices so that the jurisdictions are able to garner their fair share of revenue and the aim of sustainable development of the all the nations of the world could be assured. To combat the concerns regarding BEPS, the OECD has proposed various action plans as guidelines, which can be tailored by nations as per their specific requirements and concerns. India signed a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with Mauritius in the year 1982 to promote business and investment. India was transcending from a closed economy to an open economy and was looking for the foreign investment, therefore this seemed to be a profitable and a sustainable method for investment. However consequently it was found out that treaty abuse was made in 1983 when signing the DTAA with Mauritius. This defect could only be rectified in 2016. This shows India’s stand against tax havens and avoidance of tax in any form. The after effects of the change in the treaty have been studied in detail. It is observed in the study that after signing the treaty there have been direct investments in India instead of routing the investment from Mauritius. Moreover, this has resulted in the revenue authorities deriving their fair share. Therefore, it has been concluded that base erosion and profit shifting activities can be effectively checked by the changed provisions of the treaty.

This article provides an overview of the research in the area of coping behaviour and motivation of the unemployed and analyses work incentives for the unemployed applied in Ukraine. In addition, the article provides the analysis of motivation to work of persons registered as being unemployed using metaphor. It was found out that, in relative terms, unemployed should be interested in taking enriching their own coping behaviour strategies and in motivation using metaphors. Metaphor is an indispensable element that reveals the person’s individual worldview. World scientific knowledge, the approach to the knowledge of existence through the disclosure of the content of entities, allows the person to really, rationally look at existence itself, identify him/herself with it, occasionally present in existence and make sure that this presence is real in the same real existence. Findings of the survey of persons registered as jobless have showed that satisfactory level of coping behaviour repertoire is the strongest factor motivating persons to overcome the unemployment.

Due to unhealthy lifestyle practices and enormous stress in today's world, it is being completely unpredictable when a person can get a heart attack or heart failures. Even most of the times doctors and health experts are also not able to predict the heart failures, because of this prediction of heart failure remains as a mystery even though on having so much advance technologies in the medical field. Machine learning algorithms also jump into this to predict the heart failures using some techniques like complex event processing and others. These processes involve a large amount of data to learn about the conditions and then they predict the heart failures. It is not possible to provide large amount of data every time to predict the heart failures, So some techniques should be there to provide the same in a moderate amount of datasets condition. So we try to concentrate mainly on evaluating the existing methodologies and try to find the flaws in them so that a new effective idea for heart failure prediction can be brought into light that works efficiently.

In educational context, gamification can be applied at all levels namely elementary education, lifelong education, and higher education. ‘Quizizz’ is an online game that is used by educators for academic purposes. It allows educators to conduct self-paced online formative assessments in a fun and engaging manner. This study is a quantitative study undertaken to explore the perception of 91 distant post graduate students towards Quizizz. Most of these post graduate students are English teachers serving at elementary schools, secondary schools and tertiary institutions. However, in this article only the students’ positive perceptions towards Quizizz and its benefits to the learning process are discussed. The questionnaire consists of 29 items. The data were analyzed descriptively (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) using SPSS version 25. The most prominent finding is the respondents were able to reflect on their errors after answering the Quizizz questions. In addition, they could learn the topic better when they were asked to construct questions for Quizizz based on the learnt topics. They prefer to be given the opportunity to refer to their notes when answering the questions in order to reduce their anxiety level. They prefered Quizizz to be carried out in the form of homework in comparison to face to face classroom activities as they could answer the questions when they are fully prepared and in a more relaxed environment. They also agreed that Quizizz is able to provide a platform which promotes positive reinforcement, motivation and immediate feedback when their marks are being displayed on the leaderboard. It is hoped that these findings could encourage educators to integrate Quizizz as a form of formative assessment more effectively.

Multidimensional poverty measurement arises from dissatisfaction with measuring poverty using only a monetary perspective, where the measurement of monetary poverty is not enough to adequately reflect the situation that actually occurs in poor households. Using Susenas March 2018 and Podes 2018, this study aims to look at the effect of household socioeconomic characteristics on multidimensional poverty status in urban and rural areas. From the analysis using logistic regression, households with female household heads are more likely to experience multidimensional poverty in rural areas and vice versa in urban households with female household heads more likely to not experience poverty. Road infrastructure in villages is still a powerful factor in multidimensional poverty in rural areas, but this does not apply in urban areas. Working as a formal worker in urban areas will reduce the chance of experiencing multidimensional poverty, but in rural areas this does not apply. Other variables that have a strong influence on multidimensional poverty in urban and rural areas are household head job status, household head age, dependency ratio, families with disabilities, household head education and access credit. From this result, the government can focus on poverty alleviation programs according to significant variables in each region, such as asphalt development in rural areas, improvement of women's skills in rural areas, expansion of formal employment in urban areas, special assistance for families with disabilities and education in all areas both urban and rural.

Data leakage detection is as significant as data leakage prevention. It’s not simple to describe when one’s data has been compromised. Lots of businesses merely identify important leaks only after serious harm have to their clients and customers. Scenarios like these can ruin one’s business. Early data leakage detection can save millions of dollars and precious customers emotions. By means of this inspiration, weighted graphs are constructed based on the source documents in the previous work. Here terms are encrypted utilizing hash key function. Conventional cryptography techniques will not offer better security than the data anonymization methods. Consecutively, enhancement of the security of data is anticipated through the application l-diversity algorithm on the sensitive data. Sensitive data is anonymized through the utilization of the weighted graphs. By utilizing the label propagation algorithm, here an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm is used to generalize and conclude the correlations. Lastly, to describe the sensitivity, low-complexity score walk algorithm is employed. Evaluation outcomes will contrast the effectiveness of AWGPSOW with respect to ROC, precision, running and recall time. Experimental outcomes show that the anticipated technique will identify the fresh or leaks of the transformed data resourcefully and swiftly.

The Teaching Quality Indicators is the synergy of various characteristics which are significantly important for building up an aptitude and the altitude of overall students. Defining or describing the Quality of teaching for Post Graduate study is really subjective since it can’t be measured in quantitative manner. But largely it depends upon the views, opinions and the aspirations of students in general. Moreover it is also in the interest of a teacher to know his/her performance from student’s perspective. Hence the feedback of students is crucial for the measure of performance and the expected improvement of teacher; where in the strengths and the weaknesses or qualities in which the teacher is especially lagging behind can be assessed and the scope for improvement may be identified and with correct measures it can be improved upon. For this purpose, this article proposes two novel indicators viz. Simple Performance Index (SPI) and Weighted Performance Index (WPI) for teacher’s performance assessment considering the weights depending upon various characteristics from the point of view of students who are giving the feedback. The working of these indicators is also explained in upcoming sections by applying them on actual data collected for this project.

In many occasions, a small object like a sensor is placed at a distance from the spacecraft body by using a long bracket. Such brackets have small end fittings to facilitate its mounting on to the spacecraft body. One of the important considerations for the design of such brackets is the need of having the fundamental bending mode frequency to be more than certain specified value. As the end fitting is short and considered to be stiff, the natural frequency is calculated without considering the end fitting. Through several experimental and theoretical investigations, it is shown here that the fundamental bending mode frequency of such support bracket is very much influenced by the stiffness of the end fitting. The end fitting acts like a rotational spring. The rotational stiffness of this specific end fitting is also determined.

In the year 1990, United Nations Development Programme [UNDP] introduced a more comprehensive way of measuring human development, i.e. Human Development Index. HDI is a statistical tool used to measure a country’s overall achievement in its social and economic dimensions. Both social and economic dimensions are based on education, health and standard of living. This index has become an alternative to the traditional unidimensional measure of development. HDI plays an important role to broaden the prospect of progress. HDI is an attempt to reflect the certain characteristics such as people’s choices, capabilities, and well being etc. The main objective of the paper is to analyse the key dimension of human development i.e. education, health and standard of living of the people of BTAD. Its empirical evidence has proved to be very meaningful to the Governments all over the world as well as the UN agencies.

In the contemporary era, data is growing rapidly and it is assuming characteristics of big data. Such data is outsourced to cloud infrastructure to have benefits like availability, scalability and affordability. However, there are issues related to storing duplicates copies of data. When data is duplicated, it causes storage overhead. Deduplication is the process of identifying and elimination of redundant copies of data in cloud. It allows one instance of data to be saved permanently and its duplicate copies will not have actual data but a reference to the same copy of saved data. It is widely used in cloud computing for backup technology to improve efficiency. Data compression and deduplication are two important techniques used by cloud service providers (CSPs) to optimize utilization of space in storage media. Data deduplication may take place at file level or block level. Deduplication may be made at source or the target end. Source deduplication consumes more processing power and it becomes difficult to handle it with existing resources. The target deduplication takes place in the backup system, probably in cloud storage which will be easier to get deployed. In many cloud based applications, there is need for performance optimization with secure deduplication. In this paper, a survey of different deduplication techniques is made to provide useful insights.

This evaluation research was motivated by the application of the ICT guidance program at the junior high school level in Padang. The ICT guidance program is implemented with the aim of improving students' skills in using information and communication technology tools with structured guidance. the problem is, there are still many junior high schools in Padang that have not been able to implement ICT guidance programs in accordance with Minister of Education and Culture No. 68 of 2014. Schools generally place ICT guidance outside of class hours so that teachers in schools find it difficult to implement ICT Guidelines. The implementation of ICT guidance at the junior secondary school level faces a very complex problem, namely the lack of facilities and infrastructure used in the ongoing guidance process. This, causes students to be less eager to participate in ICT guidance activities carried out both classically and individually. This research is a type of evaluation research where the process of activities contained in the research is to obtain data, present accurate and objective information. Meanwhile, the evaluation research model used in this study is CIPPO. The results of the study indicate that ICT guidance carried out with the support of all school stakeholders can increase the effectiveness of the application of ICT guidance and provide benefits to students by increasing students' ability to use information and communication technology. The ICT Guide has a positive impact that enhances the ability of teachers to plan, process, and evaluate the learning process.

In this paper, we proposed to predict the Bitcoin price accurately taking into consideration various parameters that affect the Bitcoin value. By gathering information from different reference papers and applying in real time ,I found the advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin price prediction. Each and every paper has its own set of methodologies of bitcoin price prediction. Many papers has accurate price but some other don’t, but the time complexity is higher in those predictions, so to reduce the time complexity here in this paper we use an algorithm linked to artificial intelligence named LASSO(least absolute shrinkage selection operator. The other papers used different algorithms like SVM(support vector machine),coinmarkupcap, Quandl, GLM, CNN(Convolutional Neural Networks)and RNN(Recurrent neural networks) etc.. which do not have a great time management, but in LASSO finding of the results from a larger database is quick and fast..so for this purpose we draw a comparison between other algorithms and the LASSO algorithm, this survey paper helps the upcoming researchers to make an impact in the their papers. The process happens in the paper is first moment of the research, we aim to understand and find daily trends in the Bitcoin market while gaining insight into optimal features surrounding Bitcoin price. Our data set consists of various features relating to the Bitcoin price and payment network over the course of every years, recorded daily. By preprocessing the dataset, we apply the some data mining techniques to reduce the noise of data.

Cultural tourism in Bali is increasingly under attack from the flow of modernization, globalization, and tourists visiting Bali. On other hand, in the last five years, Bali has contributed about 40% of foreign exchange tourism to Indonesia, but ironically Bali does not get funds for foreign exchange earnings. The development of cultural tourism in Bali requires a comprehensive management and requires no small amount of funds. Bali needs special authority to manage the government in Bali with the uniqueness of the region, the situation, and the potential it has in order to support cultural preservation and guarantee sustainable development in Bali. This research aims to build an ideal special autonomy model as an effort to preserve culture in Bali. Based on these objectives, this study combines doctrinal research and non-doctrinal research. Doctrinal research uses a philosophical, conceptual, and regulatory approach. Non-doctrinal legal research, this research relies on the constructivism paradigm. The special autonomy of Bali is very much needed by the Balinese people to guarantee the strengthening of Hinduism, cultural preservation, customs and local traditions in Bali, because these are the main points in the development of cultural tourism in Bali. The ideal Balinese special autonomy model at the moment is based on its philosophical foundation based on local cultural wisdoms of "tri hita karana" and "sad kerthi", but still within the corridor of the Republic of Indonesia. Another construction is the distribution of profit sharing funds from the tourism sector and its management with the concept of "one province, one island, and one management system".

English phonemes that are absent in the learners’ native language are seen as the sources of difficulties. To articulate them, learners need to place their articulators in such positions in order to produce sounds that are similar or at least close to being similar to those phonemic of target language. In such process, learners might produce phonemes that deviate from the Received Pronunciation which may thus disrupt the process of communication. So far little attention has been paid to phonological deviations in the subject of Pronunciation Practice. This study is intended to investigate the case by analyzing the learners’ phonological deviations. Ten fifth semester students of English Education Department of UNDIKMA Mataram participated in the study. Data were obtained by recording and transcribing their pronunciation of the words containing the potential English phonemes absent in Indonesian. Analysis was made by comparing the broad transcriptions between the students’ pronunciations and the Oxford Advanced Learners’ Dictionary. Results showed that there are many deviations in the students’ pronunciations of the words containing potential English phonemes absent in Indonesian. Based on the findings it is suggested that the subject of Pronunciation Practice and (Introduction to) English Phonology should consider materials that include such absent phonemes intensively in the weekly meetings.

Numerous approaches have been made to find solutions for constructing text information stemmers. These stemmers are generally utilized in perception of application-oriented projects, specifically when they deal with the development of information retrieval (IR) schemes. Moreover, text stemming, as an approach for stripping sets of their suffixes or prefixes is considered as task suffering, when there are problems like single solution, vocalization ambiguity, incorrect removal and so on. However, many investigators claim that stemming approach has reached a high level for accuracy and precision while retrieving texts. In some cases, these stemmer algorithms are measured as black boxes, and it is not probable to access either source code or for corpora to validate estimation, which is used to attain accuracy. As stemmer algorithms are extremely significant for researchers, its comparison and estimation are more significant to facilitate choice of stemming approach to use in information retrieval. Here, stemming algorithm is anticipated based on feature reduction from multi-source-Ant Colony (MS) by performing word bunching and scoring (W-CS), so as to provide solutions to the drawbacks mentioned above. Here, an automatic approach for pre-processing the text has been carried out for evaluation of and comparison of text retrieval from queries that consider performance metrics like accuracy and evaluation period for the stemming algorithm. Simulation was carried out in MATLAB environment. The suggested model outperforms prevailing approaches in terms of accuracy.

This article discusses the factors that affect interpersonal relationships in business development. Our society provides opportunities for entrepreneurship and their impact on business. The development of the phenomenon of responsibility in the context of interaction between entrepreneurs, on the one hand, encourages their employees to understand and strengthen their relations with partners, and at the same time follow the rules and standards established in our country. The relevance of this problem is confirmed by the growing interest in this area in connection with the role of psychological technologies in successful business. In business, the main goal is to make a profit, and interpersonal relationships and responsibilities are considered secondary. Neglect of these properties in business can lead to economic recession. To solve this problem, it is necessary to pay more attention to the process of “relationship management” and “a high level of responsibility”, recognizing that interpersonal relations take responsibility in this area, and great success in business.

Technology has developed and laid its strong roots even in the field of education. Focus has been given merely on the utilization and the Progress in the usage of teaching aids, there is yet another dimension which needs fine-tuning in the part of teaching. A teacher whether a fresher or an experienced needs to update herself in her area and also teaching methodology every now and then. One such practice which reinforces the educational system is Insightful teaching. This Insightful teaching needs rumination of the classes handled and the feedback got from the students. This method will be effective for a teacher to contemplate on how he/she has handled the class. The positives and negatives of the class and the area, where manifestation is needed for further success and final analysis can be framed .It helps to find whether he/she could justify that the students have understood the concept or not. This paper frames a clear structure on tweaking the efficacy of teaching using navel-gazing and developing one’s own tutoring to be successful and confident in imparting the best knowledge to the students. This is materialised by taking three topics which is handled in two different classes. In one class insightful teaching is done and the other class with normal teaching, in order to identify whether it has an impact among the student’s learning or not. A pragmatic approach proved that the class with the insightful teaching shows good results. This paper creates a positive cognizance that insightful teaching has the power of re-forming the teaching methodology of the teacher’s themselves for the betterment of the students.

The change in the nature of economy in terms of development of capitalism has many implications in the modern world which are of global significance. But this development is not a linear transition. To understand the different events in the transition process to the development of capitalism, it is important to understand the nature, form and processes of commodity production and accumulation that varies as the society progresses. Hence, the purpose of the study is to have a perception about the crisis in different phases of society which would help to locate the transition in the mode of production and the nature of economy as a whole. The study finds the internal contradictions in the mode of production which determines the different phases of transition happening in the economy. The process of accumulation has changed continuously from the period of feudalism to industrial capitalism and therefore the key finding is how the crisis in each phase is inherently the internal contradictions in its production process. Thus, the process of transition that leads to capitalism is of inherent nature.

Modelling for rain attenuation is one of the important design criteria for reception Satellite signals. Particularly for Navigational data reception, accuracy being the most important design parameter, receiver design has to apply real time corrections and localized Modelling helps in that direction. At higher frequencies the design complexity of the receiver increases because of higher bandwidth resulting in higher costs implementation. Rain Attenuation increases with the frequency and become one of the most important and critical parameter in the design. In this paper, rain attenuation is estimated for cities in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India, using two different models like ITU-R, Moupfouma. The cities are typically chosen to exhibit varying climatic conditions viz., Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Tirupati. The estimation is done for two different frequencies 8 GHz (X- band),12 GHz (Ku- band).

Data Centers have been rapidly increasing in number and size and are poised for even more significant growth in the future. These Data Centers consume significant energy leading to increased cost and damage to the environment, leading to the conservation of energy in Data Centers being one the increasingly important areas of focus. There have been several approaches and algorithms devised for optimizing the energy consumed by Data Center active components viz. compute, storage, and networking. These algorithms or approaches typically focus solely on Energy Efficiencies whereas Applications would also have QoS expectations like Availability which may have a trade-off. This paper explores two of the Biologically inspired VM scheduling algorithms, the Genetic and the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms that incorporate Energy Efficiencies along with considerations towards Availability. We also evolve a mechanism that will map the QoS Availability percentage expectation of a VM to a replication factor, which can help determine the number of replicas that are needed to support the expected Availability. The resulting energy consumption in Data Centers is contrasted against a baseline are published algorithms to demonstrate efficiencies achieved with Availability constraints.
