The explosive growth of internet and increases of business and home networks mainly depends on the Network Address Translation (NAT) because the insufficient of available IP addresses. IP address is mandatorily required to communicate on the internet from one computer to another computer. In computer networks the single device of a router is acting as an agent between the local area network and internet as allowable by Network Address Translation. This technology of Network Address Translation may help in many ways for the Network System Engineers and Networks Administrators especially to reduce the cost and timing when they are configuring the part of IP addresses. The same relatively simple IP address configuration problems to be solved by this Network Address Translation techniques. The ability of NAT enable to translate from one group of or set of addresses to another group of or set addresses. The NAT enables the data traffic from a particular client or host to appear as it comes from another client or host and process it as transparently. The pool of IP addresses are provided by router and to be used by local area network and only a single IP addresses required to represent the this all group of clients or hosts. Three categories of NAT available especially in computer networks mainly that Static Network Address Translation (Static NAT), Dynamic Network Address Translation (Dynamic NAT) and Port Address Translation (PNAT). I would like to focus more on this paper on Static NAT design and configurations techniques using Cisco Packet Tracer Simulation tools for networking people.

To determine the relationship between leverage and the value of real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with mediators in the form of investments and dividends. The population used in this study was 44 real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. There is one exogenous variable, namely leverege (X) and two endogenous variables, namely dividend (Y1), and firm value (Y2). The tool used as an analysis method is Generalized Structural Component Analysis (GSCA). The study finds indications that the use of leverage by companies affects the dividend policy, for cases in Indonesia. Creditors have an interest in channeling funds to the company, dividend payments will cause the transfer of welfare from creditors to shareholders of the company, is weak, because there is already an alignment of interests between the creditors and the company. The negative impact of using high leverage on the creation of the company value. High dividend payments will cause a decrease in the value of the company. The market will react negatively when a company pays dividends. The reason is that when a company pays dividends, the company is indicated not to have a profitable growth opportunity or investment in the future. Previous studies conducted tests on the interaction between leverege, investment, dividends, and company value with the results that indicate that inconsistencies are recorded in the results of research that cause gaps. The focus of this research is the real estate industry which is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

Fetal electrocardiogram (f-ECG) presents the electrical activity of a fetus heart. The f-ECG contains significant information about the physiological states of a developing child inside the mother’s womb. It can even detect a fetus’s pathologies including acidemia and hypoxia. However, the extraction of the f-ECG is a challenging task for both invasive and non-invasive methods because it is mixed with a high amplitude mother’s ECG (m-ECG) signal and other random noises. This paper presents two blind source separation (BSS) algorithms to extract the f-ECG from the mixed signals. These algorithms are fast independent component analysis (FastICA) and principal component analysis with whitening (PCA-Whitening). The performances of these two algorithms are compared in this work. The results show that the FastICA algorithm outperforms PCA-Whitening algorithm by an improvement of signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 10 dB.

Anxiety disorder identification (ADI) is becoming increasingly important in addressing mental health across the population. Traditionally, ECG has been found to be effective as a means to estimate stress and anxiety, and the effect of respiratory signal has been considered as undesirable. In this work, we study how respiratory signal can be effectively used for ADI. The data for this study was collected from normal population, subjects with anxiety disorders and regular meditators, at the Department of Neurology and the Department of Psychiatry, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Kerala, over a period of 1.5 years. We used respiratory rate variability (RRV) features as input to support vector machine (SVM) classifier for our baseline ADI system. We noticed that the baseline ADI gave very low classification performance, 63.88%, 83.43% and 69.23% absolute respectively, for sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. We observed large within class person specific variations (PSV) in the RRV features among the controls and the effect of these variations in the RRV features is a nuisance factor affecting the performance of the ADI adversely. To minimize the effect of PSV, we explored several techniques such as covariance normalization (CVN) and Fisher vector encoding (FVE), and on combining CVN and FVE (RFE-CVN-FVE-SVM-ADI), we obtained a sensitivity of 91.66% absolute, specificity of 95.23% absolute and accuracy of 92.30% absolute, which is an improvement of 27.78% absolute sensitivity, 11.80% absolute specificity and 23.07% absolute accuracy, over the baseline ADI. The optimum sets of features were selected using recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithm. Respiratory signal can be effectively used in ADI. The study scientifically establishes the role of meditation and yoga in reducing anxiety and stress disorders, thus helping in the overall wellness of patients with psychiatric disorders, in their speedy recovery.

This study explores the stability and power dissipation of the homo and hetero-junction based tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) SRAM cells. Given its unique characteristics such as unidirectional current due to its asymmetric source/drain regions, the SRAM designs are exploited accordingly to prevent unnecessary leakage power. Four SRAM circuit configurations, 6T, 7T, modified 6T and modified 7T are considered in this study. The stability analysis of TFET SRAM cells is characterized by estimating read/write noise margins. The modified 7T TFET SRAM design provides better read/write stability due to the utilization of separate read transistor and Vdd collapse assist during write operation. The SRAM cells employing hetero-TFET shows high power dissipation of 0.42 µW for modified 7T cell due to the higher OFF current of hetero-TFET.

Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a strategy for data transmission which is used to move data at a speed of more than 100 GB for every sec. German Scientist Harald Hass initiated the term light commitment in the year 2011. At present optical strands are used which can move data at speed of around 100mbps to 200mbps, which is extremely not actually the light devotion. LiFi uses light emanating diodes (LED) to move data at an extraordinarily brisk speed. With the help of Li-Fi, tremendous number of records can be moved equivalent at a significantly higher trade speed. This coordinated trade of data is made possible by electro-alluring reach. Rather than using the standard radio waves it uses a ton of advance structure for example light to move data adequately. In Wireless correspondence, Wi-Fi is the most adaptable and convincing development which limited with radio frequencies for data transmission. In many cases, Wi-Fi is standing up to various challenges specifically limit, openness, viability and security. The Wi-Fi exudes radio waves which are damaging for the patients and the radio waves interpret the clinical instruments. Li-Fi is a novel advancement for high thickness distant data move reducing no radio deterrents in restricted districts so it might be used in biosensors to measure diverse prosperity limits. This advancement envisions a future where data for workstations, PDAs, and tablets will be communicated in a monetary and eco neighbourly vehicle of light in room. The primary goal of this paper is to give a short thought regarding the information move and sound exchange utilizing Li-Fi innovation.

All engineered construction resting on the earth must be carried by some kind of interfacing element called a foundation. The foundation is the part of an engineered system that transmits to, and into, the underlying soil or rock the loads supported by the foundation and its self-weight. The resulting soil stresses except at the ground surface are in addition to those presently existing in the earth mass from its self-weight. Piles are used to support the structures. Piles are frequently required because of the relative inability of shallow foundation to transmit inclined, horizontal, or uplift force and over-turning moments. Such situations are common in design of earth retaining structures and tall structures subjected to high wind and earthquake force. Considering importance and necessity of pile in construction work. This thesis is based on the piles and topic name “Comparison between single bent pile Vs Multiple bent pile on the basis of different soil density conditions. The main objective of thesis is to determine reduction in load carrying capacity due to bending of single bent pile and multiple bent pile.

The diverse characteristics of ad-hoc networks of being infrastructure-less, self-organized and spontaneous make the task more challenging to secure it. If a node needs to send data to a node that is beyond the transmission range of it, the sender node asks favor of other nodes in the network to reach the destination node. Thus the existence of the ad-hoc network is completely reliant on nodes cooperating and trusting each other. The repeated non-cooperative behavior of a node with other nodes makes it unreliable for future communication and is considered as a malicious node. However, this dependency of network nodes on each other makes MANET vulnerable to various kinds of security attacks. These security attacks can be categorized as Passive and Active attacks. Wormhole attack is an active attack and considered most dangerous as it can cause major damage to routing. Numerous secure routing protocols have been developed which are based on cryptography mechanism, need pre-organized structure, centralized authority, or need external hardware, etc. These mechanisms are impractical because of limited available resources in MANET. In this paper, we are proposing a novel trust-based mechanism on the concept of Node to Node packet delay for the detection of the malicious node in a wormhole attack. The trust value of each node is calculated by observing the packet transaction among adjacent nodes and based on this trust value identification of malicious node is carried out. The trust values can be further considered for making routing decisions and selecting a secured route.

This paper investigates the effects of opening existence on the behavior of Post-tensioned flat slabs considering different opening locations and by using the finite element method. The design status, strip moments, Stress distribution around the opening and Long-term deflection are studied. Results indicated that, in most cases, significant decrease of bending moments in strips at which openings are located and this decrease is increased by increasing the opening size. Maximum stresses around the opening’s perimeter and Maximum long-term deflection are increased by increasing the opening size. The existence of opening at column strip near the column has the worst effect on design status, on the other hand the opening at the center of the exterior panel has the least effect on the stresses around the perimeters of opening and the long-term deflection of the slab behavior. For this case, no spans produce excessive tensile stresses for spans up to 10m and opening size up to 0.25 of span length. The existence of opening at mid of interior or exterior span of column strip shows effects between the two previous openings concerning all parameters.

Nowadays, people are confronted with an increasingly large amount of data and a tremendous change of human-machine interaction modes. It is a challenging and time-consuming task for traditional computing system to deal with the content of information. The use of applications consumes energy and hard to perform through standard programmed algorithms. Spiking neural networks have emerged that achieve favourable advantages in terms of energy and time efficiency by using spikes for computation and communication as well as solving different problems such as pattern classification and image processing. Therefore, an energy-efficient spiking feedforward computing system is presented to evaluate its performance. Common building blocks and techniques used to implement a spiking neural network are investigated to identify design parameters for hardware-based neuron implementations. Izhikevich neuron, Address-Event Representation system and Spiking-Timing-Dependent Plasticity module are developed by using Vivado software. Demonstration of digit recognition using SNN hardware implementation on FPGA has been performed. The energy consumption of the system is only 136mW and low hardware resource utilization has been observed. This work presents essential properties of a spiking feedforward computing system that emulates the behaviour of biological neural networks, showing the potential for learning and classification in significantly reduced energy resources.

In this paper we discuss about the fruit categorization and quality maintenance using raspberry pi board by leveraging the machine learning concepts. India is predominantly agro based economy with Agriculture as the main source of income for the farmers who are termed as the backbone of the country. Our farmers are known to use typical old methods and due to lack of education, they are still far from incorporating the advanced technical tools in agriculture. We are proposing a low cost yet powerful fruit quality maintenance device which can be helpful for our fruit merchants and farmers. Fruit Detection classification and categorization has been implemented in this paper using Machine learning and embedded concepts. We have selected Apple, Banana, Orange, Papaya etc. fruits for the demonstration. We studied the fruit detection by methods such Haar cascade classifier and tensor flow classifier. We trained the fruit classifier by using machine learning concepts and obtained the trained classifier to detect & categorize the fruits with quality. The electronic components used here are Raspberry Pi. Instead of raspberry pi, the laptop with Linux operating system (Ubuntu) can be used. Through image processing & machine learning algorithms we identify the type of fruit and its quality. An audio acknowledgment is given about the identification of the type of fruit while processing the fruit for packaging. In further enhancement we can develop a robot which can be used to separate the raw and ripe fruits with the help of detection algorithm used in this project.

A sun drying platform was designed and constructed in an effort to help improve postharvest management of agricultural produce at the smallholder farmer level. With a total load (dead and live) of 4.35 kN and an allowable compressible load of 596.64 kN, the structural support columns could safely withstand the drying of maize without buckling. The airflow rate of 1210.95 m3/h and a latent heat of 15 kJ in the study area could allow for efficient drying of agricultural produce. Construction of the improved drying platform was possible with locally available materials and expertise. The drying platform is raised 0.90 m above the ground to allow efficient ventilation through produce from underneath the structure. A roof frame is provided to allow for covering of the structure at night and during rainfall. Side vents are to ensure that hot air goes out of the structure even when produce is covered. The base of the platform is lined with black fabric materials to ensure absorption of heat from the sun. The drying platform has a full capacity drying space of 0.605 m3. Aside its use as a dryer, the platform can serve as a temporal storage for produce after drying. The improved sun drying platform, constructed at a cost of GH₵ 942 with an estimated monthly variable cost of GH₵ 200 and hiring cost of GH₵ 0.1 per kg, a farmer could break even after 13 months of use with shelled maize as test crop. Field performance assessment of the improved sun drying platform, leading to dissemination, will help smallholder farmers and processors benefit from this intervention and thereby reduce postharvest loses while improving on quality of dried produce.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state weld process that broadly used by industries and preferred rather than other weld process due to its capability to weld similar and dissimilar materials under high quality. It can be used to weld high strength materials to weight ratio such as aluminum alloys, copper alloys, and magnesium alloys which are normally hard to be welded by conventional fusion welding processes. FSW has significant advantages over other weld processes, such as, automatic, used for most materials, can be carried out in all positions, low distortion, no shielding gas or filler are needed, can be employed under water, and environmentally friendly. On the other hand, FSW is like any other weld methods can produce series visualized or hidden defects if improper care used to process preparation. Of these defects are cracks, pores, voids and tunnel, fragment, lack of penetration, kissing bond, hooking, flash, and other surface defects. This paper presents the most common defects types that can be produced in FSW process and weaken the joint. The defects will be reviewed from some of significant studies made by researchers, and their results will be used to build up a guidance to detect and prevent these defects and their causes to assure producing a free defect weld joint.

The occurrence of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia had a significant impact on industry and employment. Many industries were unable to operate and resulted many workers being laid off. The aim of this study is to analyze one of the problems arises due to the existence of the Covid-19 pandemic relating to employment relations between the companies and workers in the termination of working relationship. This study uses descriptive research method and normative juridical approach. The results of this study indicate that the Covid-19 Pandemic can be categorized as a force majeure based on the law of employment in Indonesia. This is based on the reasons that it is an unnatural condition, special circumstances that are immediately, and short-lived without being able to be predicted beforehand. If a company is dismissed, the company closed due to loss or force majeure. Then the laborer is entitled to get the right to severance pay of one time provision, one year of service award money, and compensation rights in accordance with the Article 156 of the Indonesian Employment Law. If the company is unable to give the rights of the workers, they can effort to resolve through a bipartite negotiation forum to get a win-win solution. If the bipartite path cannot be negotiated or failed, it can take the tripartite approach. If there is still a dead lock, the dispute can be resolved through the Industrial Relations Court. The implication of the legal remedy is to obtain legal certainty for the parties.

Student debt in America amounts to $1.6 trillion and is a growing concern. My personalized peer-to-peer lending platform, Coinsequence, aims to alleviate this crisis and offer a curated platform to do-good investors where they can directly invest in the students’ karma and profile. In this paper, I propose various machine learning (ML) techniques to efficiently personalize the peer-to-peer lending and find ideal investor-student matches on the platform. The investors’ search for students by entering criteria which could range from a sophisticated keyword to free-flowing text, such as from “tennis” to “volunteers at a community shelter to help stray animals get sterilized.” To analyze the inputs, I will assess Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to assort them into categories to facilitate an efficient pairing. Furthermore, I will evaluate Gradient Boosted Decision Tree ML algorithm to match the digital personas of students to investors’ searches, leveraging the clusters produced using LDA in the conditional tests for the decision tree. The Coinsequence dataset for students’ digital personas, composed of thousands of activities logged by millions of students, would be massive and would require removal of redundant dimensions and features. To execute this refinement, I will evaluate Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a hybrid of filter and wrapper method feature selection to remove extraneous variables and extract relevant features, which would help achieve high accuracy and efficiency of the ML algorithms.
