This research is development research which consists of two stages, namely the development stage and the implementation phase. The purpose of this study is to develop and see effectivity of textbook ecology based on local wisdom towards scientific attitude of graduate students. The development stage refers to 4-D model, that is defined, design, develop, and disseminate. The validation results indicate that the developed textbook ecology based on local wisdom is valid by the validator or has a good category in all aspects (material, language, and presentation), so it can be applied in learning process. The results of the graduate student response analysis showed that most graduate students give a positive response to the developed ecology textbook based on local, which amounted to 73.67%, and after the implementation of the ecology textbook based on local wisdom to improve the attitude of the developed, it was found that it can increase curiosity (61.80%), and caring attitude of graduate students on life and the environment (70.25%), but low on open-mindedness or flexibility (46.78%), and critical reflective (43.27%). Because the existing ecology textbooks are not yet integrated with local wisdom, so the results of this research will be recommended as an ecology study guide book that is integrated with local wisdom and scientific attitudes to the graduate students in IKIP Mataram.

Smoking has been a major concern for many decades due to its negative impact on societies. A study of the role of decision support system for student smokers in order to find the depression type is investigated in this research. In this work, we developed a hybrid machine learning model that consists of clustering and classification. The idea of this model is to predict the type of depression for youth smokers using numerous novel features such as father’s job, how many narghile (Shisha) heads students usually smoke, and some other relevant features. Our model illustrated a significant relationship between smoking and depression. Our model demonstrated a prediction accuracy of 97% when applied on a dataset consisting of 993 student smokers in Jordan. Therefore, efficient solutions must be considered to find useful alternatives to smoking.

The book of al-Mustadrak composed by Abu Abdullah al-Hakim seemed to contain controversial hadith, especially those which were not found in the sahihain i.e. the book of Bukhari and Muslim but making use of the terms prepared by both or one of them, as well as sanad and matan on some hadith using another narration. Al-Hakim has contributed much in the science of Dirayah and became the methodological foundation in determining the validity of a hadith. Al-Hakim also specified the hadith criteria of valid, fair and weak, but not systematically, and much more that al-Hakim contributed to the science of hadith. Al-Hakim also received many judgments from Hadith scholars; there were criticisms, reproaches and praises, among his criticisms, some claiming that al-Hakim was a Shi’ite follower of Rafidli Khabith, but with a Sunni face, fanatical followers of Ali bin AbiTalib and hate Mu'awiyah. Hadith that are reported to be better known among the Shi'ites, but still use the sahihain theory, others claim that the hadith narrated by al-Hakim are not found in sahihain's terms and others praise him that al-Hakim is a reliable narrator of hadith, because it is very rigorous, powerful, objective, tsiqah and wara' (careful). PERSIS sees that the hadith compiled and narrated by al-Hakim are full of controversy. Therefore it is necessary to conduct research and using the theory of thariqatuljam'ie (collect all the hadith then re-examined, after that takes his own attitude) and the scholars of PERSIS do not recognize the term fadailula'mal

Fiscal policy carried out by the government to intervene in the economy has an impact on business cycle fluctuations, while policies that are often used by developing countries are procyclical fiscal policy, while fiscal policies in 96 countries are limited by the fiscal rule including Indonesia stipulated in Law Number 23 of 2003 Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to find out how the role of the fiscal rule is in fiscal policy and the business cycle in Indonesia by using the GGM Time series analysis method. This research was conducted in the period 1984-2017. The results of the analysis show that of the four variables used as independent variables namely public debt, fiscal rule, fiscal primary balance, and the relationship of fiscal regulations with public debt, there is only one variable that has a significant effect, namely the fiscal regulation relationship variable with public debt but has negative relationship. These results indicate that the fiscal rule in Indonesia has a role in controlling the level of Procyclical fiscal policy carried out by the government.

Collection of real-time fish catch data from inland water bodies of India has been a huge challenge for a multiplicity of factors – a large number of inland water resources and their scatter being the most important among other things. To overcome this problem, making use of mobile communication technology, an Electronic Data Acquisition System (eDAS) was developed along with an Android Application - eMatsya that was implemented on smart mobile phones of fishery friends (knowledgeable fishers who could send data using eMatsya) to collect fish catch data from inland water bodies. The data sent by fishery friends using eMatsya would get populated in the database MySQL in the webserver. Trial-implementation of eMatsya in selected reservoirs of Karnataka and Jharkhand (Indian states) not only yielded promising results but also proved that the scaling-up of this eDAS implementation is easy and when done at the national level would result in a continuous flow of authentic information on inland fish catch data. The eMatsya would significantly reduce the time, cost of collection of data and would facilitate in developing a database of the inland fish catch of the Indian reservoirs.

An offshore platform like other industries requires water resources to support daily operation and activities. Supplying water to offshore platform mainly executed in two conventional ways: transported using offshore supply vessel and self- produced onboard platform using seawater desalination process commonly known as a freshwater generator. An alternative method such as water reuse or water recycling also received growing attention as one of a promising integrated solution for improvement of water resources. However, each water supply options have different characteristics and limitations in term of supply capacity, cost associated and level of water quality. Hence, it’s difficult to identify which water supply sources that fulfil the demand and cost-effective. This paper proposes a new mathematical model namely Economic Water Supply Model (EWSM) for the operating cost function that includes the most representative variables in the process. This model enables decision-makers and owners to assess the economic value from the different sources of water supply for the offshore platform. The calculation of these extended cost function also enables a detailed comparison to be made of the various water sources from an economic of view in order to analyze the effects of supply capacity for cost-effective of various suppliers. In this sense, a model of the structure costs associated with each of the available water supply technologies can be useful input for future design, planning and operational stage of offshore water supply process.

Many hours are wasted often due to the intense traffic congestion on roads in highly populated cities with resultant loss of labour productivity. The reason is that while road infrastructure follows an arithmetic progression and often fixed in developed cities, population and road usage patterns follow a geometric progression. In Nigeria, as well other countries with huge road usage, traffic management is a critical challenge to the Government and traffic managers alike. Traffic officers complemented with time-based traffic control infrastructure have remained commonplace. A lot had been done on traffic control systems especially in high traffic density-prone cities. Many studies had proposed the use of sensor arrays. This study is centred around Benin City, the sixth largest city in Nigeria with its unique geography and socio-economic characteristics. In this paper, traffic management challenges are addressed through an improved model and with regard to the existing infrastructure and environmental factors. Two motion sensors are implemented per lane and placed at intervals apart with a range counter and an optical recognition module is interfaced with it. Any vehicle in between the sensors is considered the number of vehicles in the queue whereas once a vehicle gone pass the last sensor point, the counter is reduced accordingly. The design of the prototype is preceded by a 15-day road traffic usage survey in Benin City. The prototyped solution is a 3G/4G network-enabled integrated solution that enables the relay of traffic information from one location to another enabling the dissemination of traffic information to road users and traffic control authorities.

This study aimed to examine how students who experience high mathematics anxiety solve mathematical word problems. This research involved 40 math students of Universitas Islam Malang from 26 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia. From the 40 populations, five subjects were selected on the basis of their high score in Mathematics Anxiety Scale (MAS) questionnaire. Furthermore, these five subjects worked on problem-solving problems. The answers of the five subjects were analysed based on DOTS (Detect, Organize, Transform, and Solve) problem-solving criteria. The results of this study indicate there are two types of problem solving done by the subjects. First, four subjects solved the problem by doing DOTS steps. In this case, the subjects can detect the problem structure, but they have difficulties in applying arithmetic operations both in numerical and algebraic expressions. Interestingly, one of the four subjects can organize the information, but she misapplies commutative as well as associative properties when carrying out subtractions/divisions and fails to use distributive property of multiplication over addition. Meanwhile, the other one subject can do the DOTS steps at the same time. From these five subjects, it can be seen that mathematics anxiety does not always lead to failure in problem-solving. This can be seen in the fifth subject that shows good performance on problem-solving and goes through the DOTS steps at the same time.

In order to describe physics phenomena, science develops sophisticated models that use mathematical and formal program languages. When a phenomenon is not accessible to our sense, its description is indirect and understanding can be difficult for students. When one succeed to obtain a direct visualization of a phenomenon inaccessible to sense, it is possible to get a deeper understanding since a very effective channel of learning is involved. Using a variety of visualization tools for teaching and learning science is necessary for students to better understand physics phenomena and formulate appropriate mental models. Here, a simple rendering tool for 3D objects and graphs is presented which is aimed at students with minimal programming background. The purpose of the presented study is to determine the role of simple computer codes to improve the teaching techniques for physics laboratories. Students learn the importance of a virtual laboratory as a visualization element when addressing physics contents within science classes. From the basic atomic physics to nuclear physics, from the magnetic field to the electric field, many phenomena can be suitable for creating 3d visualization that allow capturing a greater perception of the physical world.

Curse dimensionality is the most problem in features fusion, data mining and pattern recognition. To solve this problem there are two methods: Feature Reduction and Feature Selection (FS). In this paper, FS methods are analyzed from two side algorithms and data. FS is a very important task of selecting the most important subset of the feature with the minimum redundancy and the maximum relevant. In order to manipulate with the irrelevant features and redundant features in (high-medium-low) dimensional data, (high-medium-low) observations data and (binary classes, multiple classes) data. FS algorithms model based on the genetic algorithm with Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a fitness function is presented in this paper. Thus, our research tests experimentally how GA-SVM affects both the classification accuracy and the size of the feature subset for FS. GA-SVM is used to select the more significant features that obtain the optimum solution or nearest. Three different types of supervisor machine learning algorithms of classifiers are used in classification Naïve Bayes (NB), SVM and KNN. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on 11 UCI Machine Learning Repository data sets that belong to the University of California and is compared with other FS algorithms. Experiment results explain that the GA-SVM is efficient and can provide higher classification accuracy.

Dolomite is a carbonate rock that in its pure form consists essentially of a double carbonate corresponding to CaMg (CO3)2. Dolomite is applied to a carbonate rock in which at least the minimum amount of 41 percent magnesium carbonate is present. Dolomite closely resembles limestone, but close inspection shows many differences between them. Replacement of calcium in limestone by magnesium results in the recrystallization of the limestone to form dolomite. This replacement process, called dolomitization, generally tends to destroy the original or earlier texture and structure of the rock. Complete recrystallization produces a rock in which many dolomite crystals are well outlined. In general, dolomite is more even grained and less fine grained than limestone. The weathered surface of dolomite commonly is mottled and shows the outlines of dolomitic grains and generally shows the extent of dolomitization. Factors governing the kind of materials found in limestone also apply to dolomite. Dharwar Super group, peninsular gneissic Complex-II and Cuddapah Super group. Small exposures of Meta basalt representing Kadiri Schist Belt and amphibolites representing Ramagiri Schist Belt are found in south east corner and west central part of the toposheets respectively. Western part of the toposheet is covered by rocks of PGC-II and is intruded by dolerite dykes and quartz veins. Conglomerate, dolomite, quartzite and shale belonging to Cuddapah Super group is exposed successively towards east. Basic sills are found within shale at top of hillocks in north eastern part. Barytes occurs as fractures filling in Vempalle Formation at several places.

In the Arabian Gulf states, as well as in Middle East and Mediterranean countries, the pressure and temperature of air-conditioning units with air –cooled condensers will increase considerably. As direct result, the high-pressure side of the refrigeration cycle will increase and the power consumption of the air conditioner will be higher than its design. As result, the A/C unit pressure increases and exceeds the pre-set design value of the pressure switch in control circuit. Control shuts down the compressor, as well as reduces the total cooling capacity of air-conditioning unit (A/C) .Therefor the performance of any A/C unit equipped with air- cooled condenser will decreases considerably with high pressure and ambient temperature . One of the best solutions to increase the performance of Air-conditioner is to decrease the condenser coil temperature. To achieve this, it is required to decrease the air ambient temperature on A/C unit before it passes across the condenser coil. The cheapest and easiest way for decreasing the ambient air temperature is using the evaporative cooling system. This could result A significant energy savings would be the result, if thousands of air-conditions in residential and commercial sector. This will save a great amount of megawatts in the network.

Brain tumour decreases the life expectancy of the human if not identified at early stages. MRI has been widely used as one of the identification procedures. Image segmentation was important character in analysing medical images. Accompanied by variety of segmentation algorithms, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been widely used as a reliable evaluation procedure. Brain tumour recognition is one of applications that involve an image segmentation technique and pre-processing stage added to increase the recognition accuracy. In this paper, different types of automatic tumour detection technique are included such as FCM, Thresholding and Threshold based fuzzy C-Means segmentation. FCM method works by conveying membership to each data point equivalent to each cluster centre based on distance between the cluster centre and data point. The thresholding is the simplest and widely used method for segmenting the medical images and used for discriminating foreground objects from the background. The Thresholding based FCM is the combination of both features of fuzzy C-Means and thresholding process to avoid drawbacks in that methods. In the threshold based FCM clusters are determined automatically by selecting an adequate threshold. And finally, we can observe as per the performance metrics threshold based FCM perform better than FCM clustering and Threshold algorithms.

The limited budget on road handling is a problem that often occurs among cities and regencies in developing countries like Indonesia. The strategy to overcome available limited budgets is by determining road handling priority which is right on the target. Therefore it is required a decision support system as tool for the decision makers in order to decide the evaluation. Decision support systems in this study was using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method, and Multi Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method in order to determine priority handling towards 21 regency roads located in Ogan Komering Ilir. The evaluation decision used were costs and financial, road network conditions, road conditions, socio-economy and area development aspects. The scale analysis of priority in AHP was using data processing from questioner results and scale priority analysis was using TOPSIS methods combined with the data taken from questioner results and physical conditions in the field, however on MOORA method as scale priority analysis was only using the data taken from physical condition from the field. Wilconox Signed Rank Test was conducted to analyze significance difference road priority rank results taken from combinations of research method used. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed the results of the priority that there wasn’t any significant difference rank priority of road handling which obtained from all research methods respectively due to the difference of data source used. AHP method is so much depended on the perception of decision takers. So, decision takers will be able to choose method based on the physical data availability in the field or based on their perceptions.

Brain tumor means growth of abnormal cells in brain. It occurs mainly due to the damaged DNA. Human brain has more than 10 billion working cells. The damaged brain cells are diagnosed themselves by splitting to make more cells. In advanced stages brain tumor is most dangerous disease which cannot be cured. Hence, it should be detected in the early stages with the help of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image).So; there will be more changes to the patient to survive. For detecting tumor we have used MRI grey scale images. The MRI grey scale image based brain tumor detection is much complicated task due to difficulty and inconsistency of brain tumors. We proposed a model to detect tumor with the help of machine learning techniques. We used CNN and ANN to detect the brain tumor .And in CNN we are using two types of dataset un-augmented and augmented. The main goal of the paper is to compare two models accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity and based on these parameters the best model will be predicted.

The passing rate in the Nurse Licensure Examination (NLE) is considered a key indicator of the quality of the nursing program. While a plethora of studies has identified the factors affecting NLE success, no study has tried to explore the role of an institutional standardized competency examination on NLE. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of institutional terminal competency assessment (TCA) and other factors on the NLE performance of nursing graduates. This study used a descriptive-correlational research design using data sets of nursing graduates of West Visayas State University from 2015 to 2017 (N=354). Pearson’s r set at .05 alpha level was used in the inferential analysis. Results indicated that TCA was significantly related to NLE performance. Other factors such as High School Grade General Average, College Grade General Weighted Average and scores in College Admission Test, Nursing Aptitude Test, and Pre-board Examination were significantly correlated with NLE rating. Aside from the known factors in the literature, nursing schools may also benefit from developing and conducting an institutional standardized competency assessment administered at the end of the nursing program to aid in assessing students’ likelihood of success in the NLE.

Corrosion is a natural phenomenon and occurs on all materials. It, thus, cannot be stopped and only be slowed down. One of the causes of this process is the surrounding environment. There are several ways to slow down corrosion, one is the use of inhibitors. Generally, there are two types of inhibitors, which are organic and inorganic inhibitors. The latter comprise of synthetic chemical compounds that can be expensive and dangerous because of the toxicity and environmentally unfriendly nature. Whereas the former are relatively inexpensive and extracted from natural sources, such as plant materials containing tannin. One of these tanning-containing plant sources is the leaves of guava. The aims of this study were to extract tannin from these leaves and use it as an inhibitor against corrosion. The procedures included extraction employing maceration in ethanol at room temperature, characterization of the resulting extract, and tests of inhibitory activity of the extract on low carbon steel. The variables tested were the amount of tannin and the length of treatment time. The corrosion rate was measured from the weight reduction. The qualitative tests showed the presence of tannin in the extracts. The treatment without the addition of inhibitor produced the highest corrosion rate after three days of treatment at the value of 16.8641 mpy. The smallest value of 5,6214 mpy was produced by treating the low carbon steel with 3% HCl and 5000 mg extract for nine days. This translated to an efficiency of 39.31624 %.

Adsorption is one of the important parameters in assessing the SLS Surfactant performance in chemical enhanced oil recovery injection due to the use of its scores to determine the number of materials absorbed in the reservoir. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adsorption on Enhanced Oil Recovery Using SLS Surfactant from Bagasse. A low surfactant value means lower absorption in the rock during the injection. Moreover, chemical adsorption by the rock reservoir reduces the concentration of the chemical slug and causes low-efficiency displacement. Adoption can be measured either statically or dynamically. The static adsorption was conducted by saturating rock in surfactant solvent while the dynamic was by measuring the surfactant in the solvent before and after the injection. Generally, surfactant adsorption depends on many factors such as the type, concentration, equivalent weight, ionic strength, pH, salinity, and temperature. Furthermore, at 20.000 ppm - 4,5%, more SLS surfactant was absorbed in the core rock to produce low performance while fewer surfactant were absorbed in 80.000ppm-1,5% leading to better performance. This research showed surfactant concentration, formation, and water salinity influence adsorption of surfactant in enhanced oil recovery. Therefore, in an injection process, the adsorption in the reservoir should be considered.

Abstract- The Nature Inspired Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms (NIMOA) institutes towards explanations to optimization glitches in countless realms. Numerous NIMOA have been employed in the dominion of Test Case Prioritization (TCP) for Regression Testing (RT). There are some NIMOA that have not been thoroughly investigated for TCP in RT. One of the recent additions made to NIMOA is Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA), that has not been used for TCP in RT as per the literature survey. This study has made a theoretical attempt to find the most efficacious metaheuristic technique for TCP. The theoretical results have reflected that Genetic Algorithm (GA) is the most prevalent NIMOA used for TCP. Although a particular NIMOA cannot be considered as efficacious for TCP. This study tries to bridge the gap between most popular metaheuristic techniques used for TCP and recent addition made to NIMOA. The main objective of this study is to propose an enhanced metaheuristic TCP technique. Henceforth, the study proposes Genetically Modified-Flower Pollination Algorithm (GM-FPA) for TCP in RT. Also, GA is used in the present study to perform TCP. GM- FPA is empirically evaluated by comparing the value of Average Percentage of Faults Detected (APFD) metrics with the APFD results of FPA, GA and traditional approaches for TCP in RT. The empirical results have reflected that GM-FPA outperformed the FPA, GA and traditional ways of TCP.

RPL is the IPv6 routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks, standardized by IETF in 2012 as RFC6550. Specifically, RPL is designed to be a simple and inter-operable networking protocol for resource-constrained devices in industrial, home, and urban environments, intended to support the vision of the Internet of Things with thousands of devices interconnected through multihop mesh networks. More than six-years have passed since the standardization of RPL, and we believe that it is time to examine and understand its current state. In this paper, we review the history of research efforts in RPL; what aspects have been (and have not been) investigated and evaluated, how they have been studied, what was (and was not) implemented, and what remains for future investigation. . We reviewed over 97 [41] RPL-related academic research papers published by major academic publishers and present a topic-oriented survey for these research efforts. Our survey shows that only 40.2% of the papers evaluate RPL through experiments using implementations on real embedded devices, ContikiOS and TinyOS are the two most popular implementations (92.3%), and TelosB was the most frequently used hardware platform (69%) on testbeds that have average and median size of 49.4 and 30.5 nodes, respectively. Furthermore, unfortunately, despite it being approximately four years since its initial standardization, we are yet to see wide adoption of RPL as part of real-world systems and applications. We present our observations on the reasons behind this and suggest directions on which RPL should evolve. The RPL routing protocol published in RFC 6550 was designed for efficient and reliable data collection in low-power and lossy networks. Specifically, it constructs a Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph (DODAG) for data forwarding. However, due to the uneven deployment of sensor nodes in large areas, and the heterogeneous traffic patterns in the network, some sensor nodes may have much heavier workload in terms of packets forwarded than others. Such unbalanced workload distribution will result in these sensor nodes quickly exhausting their energy, and therefore shorten the overall network lifetime. In this paper, we propose a load balanced routing protocol based on the RPL protocol, named LB-RPL, to achieve balanced workload distribution in the network. Targeted at the low-power and lossy network environments, LB-RPL detects workload imbalance in a distributed and non-intrusive fashion. In addition, it optimizes the data forwarding path by jointly considering both workload distribution and link-layer communication qualities. We demonstrate the performance superiority of our LB-RPL protocol over original RPL through extensive simulations.

The exposure to electromagnetic fields EMF has become an active area of biophysics research. Modern lifestyle exposes nearly all humans to EMF, particularly to man-made visible light. Prolonged exposure to EMF induces persist changes in weight and neuronal activity. However, the modulation of synaptic efficiency by EMFs in vivo is still unclear. The study focuses upon design, evaluation and investigation of a Linear Source Lamp (LSL) device. The LSL visible light irradiation issued for the bio-electromagnetic effects. The living organism, particularly in humans, can be affected adversely by highly coherent EMF. Twenty-seven mice were divided into 3 groups in addition to the sham and control group. The three groups were exposed to the visible field for different durations (5, 10, 15days). Every day they were exposed for 8 hours as a daily dosage. The exposure doses were produced by LSL neon lamps. The sham and control group was placed in an identical chamber with no electromagnetic field. After the exposure period, mice were weighted daily. The exposure area on the bottom of cage was measured, evaluated and treated by the software SURFAR7 to determine the optimum area of irradiation as well as the intensity of the EMFs. On the basis of a detailed analysis of the present situation and experimental conditions, the number of recommended doses was chosen to prompt higher degree of electromagnetic bio-compatibility between these fields and the living human organism. This new scientific findings can be used to update human standard doses. Certain studies, because of their strength of evidence or because of the severity of the health out come under study, may be more likely to prompt a reevaluation of the science informing standards than others. Changes to standards or policies should be made after a proper assessment of the science case as a whole to ensure that the conclusion of the research in a given area is consistent.

The concept of marketing engineering has become, today, an issue of great importance because it has helped in enabling marketing management to gain information and analyze it by using computer devices, communication networks, software and marketing decisions support systems, thus helping marketing management to take marketing decisions. The term marketing engineering can be traced back to Lilien et al. in "The Age of Marketing Engineering" published in 1998. In this article the authors defined marketing engineering as the use of computer decision models in making marketing decisions. The definition of marketing engineering was also developed by Lilien et al. 2002, who defined marketing engineering as "the systematic process of putting marketing data and knowledge to practical use through the planning, design, and construction of decision aids and marketing management support systems (MMSSs)". Among the driving factors toward the development of marketing engineering are the use of high-powered personal computers connected to LANs and WANs, the exponential growth in the volume of data, and the reengineering of marketing functions. other researcher also called marketing engineering "the systematic process of putting marketing data and knowledge to practical use through the planning, design, and construction of decision aids and marketing management support systems." Marketing management works in a variable and unstable environment, where it is requested to be flexible and interactive with these changes in the internal and external environment of the organization. There is a tremendous flow of information, where marketing engineering has to collect and analyze, by adopting information systems, information technology management decision support systems. Marketing engineering played the major role in that and enabled marketing management to adapt to and accommodate external environmental factors and take the proper marketing decisions. The objective of this paper is to know the relation between marketing engineering and the process of making marketing decisions and to provide the knowledge frame for marketing engineering, the supporting phrases of it, the technology used, as well as the information technology, marketing technology, market technology and phrases used in support of marketing engineering.

In this work, a new coil arrangement ground heat exchanger unit is developed. The different coil arrangements i.e. slinky, spiral, and U-type have been arranged in series and formed one loop of horizontal ground heat exchanger. In this model, the copper material was used since copper show high thermal conductivity augmentation as compared to the extensively employed plastic resources. The prime objective of present work is to assess the thermal performance and parametric study of the developed horizontal ground heat exchanger. For that the ground heat exchanger experimentations were conducted in the developed experimental setup. In order to authenticate the obtained experimental results, the thermal performance characteristics corresponding to the same coil arrangement as obtained from the developed experimental set-up is compared with the published literature. After the validation, the effects of different operating parameters on ground heat exchanger performances are evaluated based on the experimental results. The thermal response tests (TRTs) were carried out for 10 h constantly to measure the rate of heat exchange for the ground heat exchanger at different inlet (fluid) temperatures (50°C, 45°C, and 40°C). The different working fluids like Distilled water, Ethylene Glycol+ Distillated Water, Methanol +Distillated Water were flowed through the ground heat exchanger loops. From the analysis, it is found that the maximum heat exchange rate is achieved with water at the inlet temperature of 50°C. The average fluid temperature for the water + methanol was higher than the other working fluids. It is consideration that heat is effectively flowed to the sand by the developed GHE with water as a working fluid, because of the better thermal and physical property of water.

This study set out to verify the hypothesis that ‘mature undergraduate students, in terms of chronological age, would significantly perform better than immature undergraduate students academically’. Data on 679 undergraduate students were utilised in the study, out of which 375 were females and 304 were males. Their age ranged from 14 to 22 years with standard deviation of 1.2 while mean age was 17.05 years. The Grade Point Averages [GPA] for 100 level and 200 level first and second semesters, called alpha and omega semesters in this study, were utilised. The parametric statistics employed for analysis was the analysis of variance [ANOVA] which compared the GPA of the least, average and most mature students categorised with age range of 14-16, 17-18, 19-22 years respectively. The result showed that the least mature students, in terms of chronological age, consistently featured significantly higher academic performance than the average and most mature students (Mean Diff. = 0.153, p = 0.033 for 100 level alpha; Mean Diff. = 0.192, p = 0.0 for 200 level alpha). This finding tends to put to question the rationale for the adoption of the policy of not admitting applicants below age 16 into public universities on the ground of immaturity.

Quality is the characteristic which distinguishes a product and service from its rivals. Quality is not the responsibility of a single member to ensuring superior quality of a service or product. TQM is a combined endeavor of management, Employees, workers and suppliers in order to get and go beyond client happiness point. PDCA cycle is major part of TQM. TQM is a joint effort of both top management and employees of a company to devise efficient policies and strategies to give good quality goods which meet and exceed customer satisfaction. Each TQM model incorporates customer feedbacks with applicable data and strategy as per the design effective plans to attain high quality goods. Few quality management tools are check list, Pareto chart, Fishbone diagram, Histogram, Scatter diagram, and graphs. Six Sigma make sure better quality of goods by eliminating the imperfections in the systems and processes. DMAIC and DMADV are two methods of Six Sigma. Kaizen is explained as a constant attempt by all employees to make sure enhancement of all system and processes of a particular company. “Five S” of Kaizen is a methodical approach which directs to infallible systems, standard strategies, set of laws and regulations to give rise to a strong work culture at the company. There is a vital role of managers and customers in implementing Six Sigma. Six-Sigma and TQM both are efficient tools for quality management but there exist a thin line of difference between them. Six-Sigma gives improved and efficient outcomes as compared to TQM. There are some differences in methodologies of manufacturing and service sectors.

Off-shore reinforced cement concrete structures are exposed to severe chloride atmosphere and are hence prone to corrosion. Prevention of corrosion of such structures by cathodic protection technique has evolved as a major method. Magnesium and its alloys are very commonly used as sacrificial anodes in this regard. The current paper investigates the micro-characterization of pure Magnesium (Mg) and AZ91D anodes used for cathodic protection of structural steel reinforcement in concrete slabs using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) after 270 days of embedment in concrete. The presence of inter-mettalics was found to decrease the rate of corrosion in AZ91D compared to pure Mg. Bare steel reinforcements with and without anodes were also tested in severe Chloride atmosphere for weight loss and tensile strength on different days and compared for 80 days. The tensile strengths and weight loss of bare steel reinforcements with anodes were found to be much less affected in chloride atmosphere, as against those without anode, indicating the effectiveness of the latter, although similar values of stresses were found for both Mg and AZ91D. The results of micro characterization, tensile strength and rate of corrosion can be used for optimal selection of anodes for different exposure conditions.

This paper purpose is to uncover the NPM hegemony construction of local government finance accountability in Indonesia. The formulation process of local government autonomy policy and financial management are used as an entry point to uncover the hegemonic practices in financial accountability of local governments. The accountability concept is closely related to democracy concept and legitimacy (Erkkilä, 2007). Democracy is represented by local autonomy and legitimacy is represented by local financial management under the legal umbrella of regulation. Regulation is an important instrument in accountability (Tower, 1993); it is seen as an entry point for the existence of NPM hegemony. This study uses qualitative research with Gramsci hegemony methodology approach. Data collection gives more attention to document review and regulation as well as in interviews with key informants. The interview technique used is planned unstructured with the data analysis methods is critical discourse analysis. The study results show that NPM adoption in Indonesia governance, especially in management of government finances, has opened up hegemony space for ruling class. But the perceived effect does not necessarily lead to improvements in financial accountability of local governments. This research has important meaning and contributes through the concept of local autonomy, local financial management and financial accountability of local governments in Indonesia.

Aluminum phosphide poisoning has been difficult to manage since there is a lack of specific antidote to treat it. The current case review provides an insight on various methods that has been handled by physician to manage the poison, and this review also provides the clinical manifestations that play a significant role in deciding the appropriate treatment. A retrospective study of the scientific literature reporting on cases of aluminum phosphide ingestion was carried out, using the inclusion criteria: 1) patient of all age groups 2) patient with an accidental exposure, 3) patient with an intention of self-harming, 4) successful and unsuccessful management of the aluminum phosphide poisoning. A total of 14 case reports were collected, from which 7 cases has been reviewed, of which four cases were due to the intention of self-harming and the other three cases were due to accidental ingestion of aluminum phosphide in various forms (tablets, granules, powders). The important manifestations that were seen in all these cases were 1) changes in ECG mostly resembling ST elevation or depression, 2) metabolic acidosis and 3) severe changes in hematocrit values affecting almost all the hemodynamic parameters. Management of aluminum phosphide poisoning has its major setback due to the unavailability of specific antidote, successfully managed cases shows that early diagnosis and detection of important clinical manifestations provides an advantage, other factors like appropriate history collection from patient relative is significant in providing an accurate treatment in a timely manner.

Now a day, in the visual imagery trend image manipulation appears to be in every domain or field where imagery plays a significant role. From newspapers, articles, magazines to scientific research papers, image manipulation is blow-out. Shadows in an image are unavoidable. The shadows are present in the image because of the objects in the image scene content. When an image forger tries to manipulate the image containing shadow, special effort should be shown to make the shadow inconsistency in the image clueless. Either the shadow of the object in the image has to be copied from different image containing same object or shadow of the objects is distinctively copied and pasted on to the image. This paper proposes to develop a new forgery detection methodology based on shadow inconsistency. The intent is to estimate the position of the light and shadow vanishing point of the image and to compare the vanishing point. If any difference in vanishing point exists, it resembles the inconsistency of the shadow present in image and judge whether the image is tampered.

This article is dedicated to one of the stereotypical units - stylistic features of ancient Turkic scripts. There are cliched units in scripts. This seems to have been caused by tautology, the simplicity of the text, or the author's mistake. It is clear that the texts are not mere repetitions, as they penetrate deeper into the content. These units can even be subdivided into species. However, the stereotype units we investigate are quite different from related units. We cannot conclude that different phenomena are referred to in terms of epic clichés, epic formula, stylistic formula, formulas. Indeed, the units referred to in these terms are used repeatedly in the texts. In this respect they are alike. In particular, two types of events can be distinguished in ancient Turkic writings. The article describes the common and distinctive features of stereotype units from related phenomena such as formulas and stylistic formulas. It also analyzes their meanings and transformations into later periods.

Aerofoil, the cross-sectional shape of a wing, has a significant role in any aircraft due to its capability of generating adequate lift to hold that aircraft in the air with less drag. The design of the aerofoil with desired aerodynamic characteristics is not so easy till date. Although, at early stages of technical development, it was compromised with the performance due to the random designing while test in a flow section. But as time rolled on to the later phase of the development era, Wright brothers (Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright) came with the cambered section. At present NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) has given a proper definition for Aerofoil, which helps us design aerofoil using formula instead of randomizing it, to achieve the optimal performance to some extent. In this work, an experimental investigation was carried out to enhance the performance of an Aerofoil NACA 4311 by surface modification. Initially the aerodynamic performance of three different shapes viz. cambered, flat and symmetrical shaped aerofoil was checked experimentally. Based on this investigation it was concluded that symmetrical aerofoil gave quite better performance than cambered and flat shaped aerofoil. After surface modification by placing dimples of different sizes and shapes at suction surface of symmetrical aerofoil, it was found that the medium semi cylindrical dimples gave better aerodynamic performance as compared to other modifications.

In the recent years, the number of people using the public bus to commute to work or to other locations of Mauritius has drastically increased. Mauritians prefer to utilize public transit rather than using their own vehicles due to the increase of petrol prices. They find it more frugal to utilize public transport rather than private vehicles due to parking and commuting cost. Since there is an issue with the traditional ticketing system, this study proposes a public transport ticketing system with face recognition. The system allow users to register themselves as passenger and enable them to utilize the services. Before proceeding with the development of the biometric system, the people of Mauritius were surveyed and changes were made accordingly to the functionalities of the system to increase its efficiency amongst the users. Final system testing were conducted with potential users at Mauritius and the acceptance level of this system is encouraging

Natural materials are a mixture of individual atoms and molecules that are combined into a chemical bonding mechanism. The major three phenomena like absorption, reflection and transmission of the material are obtained by the hitting of sunlight i.e. electromagnetic radiation. If the material is accepting some light then it is called as absorption, if the material is not absorbing some portion of light then it is called as reflection, and finally some portion of light neither accepted nor reflected then it is called as transmission. All these are depends on the atomic characteristics of the material. This new idea shall be used as the periodic structures for the design of solar cells. This review tells about the various parametric study, materials used and different sizes of the unit cells obtained by various authors

Globally, suppliers of custom-made materials handling systems (MHS) are under pressure to deliver systems that exactly meet their customer’s needs. They have to elicit complete and unambiguous requirements from their customers that include stated as well as latent requirements. However, customer requirements are usually ambiguous, unstable and often have solutions embedded in it. This paper proposes a technique that can help MHS suppliers elicit all types of solution-free requirements for a custom-made MHS in order to deliver maximum value to a customer.The methodological approach in this paper employs a comprehensive review of more than twenty requirements elicitation and analysistechniques that are in use in the engineering industry. This is followed by the development of a hybrid model, one that combines KJ+ interview and Kano Analysis, which can greatly increase customer satisfaction while designing custom-made MHS. The hybrid model isapplied to a real-life case on an antibiotic tablet manufacturing MHS.

In our country, most of the people use buses for their transportation. During the peak hours, it is very difficult for issuing and getting tickets. Also the main problem is proving balance to the passenger by means of change. The probability of ticket fraud is also high. Moreover the passengers need to safeguard the ticket until they reach their destination. To overcome this type of difficulties the automatic ticket issuing system is proposed. In this work, a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) reader is used to read the tags. A keypad is assigned to get the number of co-passengers. An Infrared (IR) sensor is used to verify if the entered count is correct. Global Positioning System (GPS) system is used to track the distance traveled by the passengers and with the help of this information the ticket amount is deducted. Also accident detection can be done with the help of an accelerometer and the accident location is sent to the nearby hospitals by the help of GPS and GSM system. The RFID tag can be recharged.

Women’s Economic Empowerment is a combination of individual’s knowledge, ability, skills and confidence in handling their own financial decisions. Today, most of the social scientists believe that the degree of women’s economic empowerment can be considered as a powerful indicator of their economic empowerment for the development of the respective countries. Even though women’s economic empowerment is a circumstance of several antecedents, many researchers argue that financial literacy becomes a one of the major contributors of women’s economic empowerment specially, among rural women. Further, this association can be varied in different socio-cultural contexts. However, there are sufficient evidences to argue that the association between women’s economic empowerment and financial literacy can be changed with the effect of Level of financial inclusion among rural women. Hence, in this study, researchers examined this issue by investigating the mediating role of financial inclusion on the relationship between financial literacy and women’s economic empowerment among rural women in Sri Lankan context. The sample for this study was drawn from rural poor women who are living under the poverty line by representing nine provinces in Sri Lanka. Altogether 426 rural poor women were selected and data were collected using a researcher administrated questionnaire. Further, the sample was designated based on the multilevel mixed sampling method and the unit of analysis was the women headed households in rural areas. Furthermore, as the principle data analysis approach, the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was employed, and Smart-PLS 3 was employed as the main analytical software. The findings revealed that financial literacy made significant impact to the women’s economic empowerment and the influence of financial literacy is exaggerated by the mediation effect of financial inclusion among the rural poor women in Sri Lanka. Findings of the study will help the policymakers of Sri Lanka to undertake financial literacy development programs to ensure greater participation of women in the formal financial sector for enhancing their economic empowerment process.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the form of parameter estimates and the form of estimation of fit models on the work stress of temporary teachers in Brebes Regency. The method used in this study is to use the analysis of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on variance, namely Partial Least Square (PLS) to find out the truth of the theoretical concept of the factors that influence work stress. PLS is a powerful analytical method because the method is not based on the number of assumptions where such data does not have to be a normal multivariate distribution and the sample does not have to be large. Silahturahmi variables become intervening variables that can mediate compensation variables against work stress variables. These results can be translated that the work stress experienced by temporary teachers caused by low compensation can be prevented by good silahturahmi between principals and temporary teachers

Tamarind is a seasonal crop. it's an awfully helpful kitchen product. It's once more a very important ingredient in Ayurvedic medicines. These desires are consummated by tamarind pulp, which become obtainable once the separation of seed and cover from tamarind. The standard methodology of preparation of this pulp maybe a hand method that becomes a tedious and prolonged task to remove out the cover and seed from Tamarind. Additionally, this operation desires immense manpower needs. Preparation of tamarind pulp is one in every of the joint unit enterprises in most of the villages. Tamarind seeds are separated manually which is less hygienical and grueling. All this method needs a ton of your time and hands which might be reduced by automation of the method. Continuous type tamarind deseeding machine with the deseeding capability of 9 kg/hr. has been fabricated. The machine consists of a seed separating the unit during which the fruits are subjected to shear force. Deshelled and dried tamarind is feed into tapered grooved disc one by one manually with facilitate of roller. The tapered grooved disc is driven by a motor at very low revolutions per minute. Once tamarind comes close to the cutter blade that is driven by a motor at high speed it shears the tamarind pulp. The projection in tray removes the tamarind seeds out of the oblong sieve, therefore the tamarind is deseeded. Since the machine is economical and efficient in separating tamarind seeds thus most of the farmers can afford it. The machine will scale back human labor, labor cost, and time, keeping the property of tamarind pulp of the pulp more or less unchanged

Software testing is normally accepted technique for assessing software quality. Whole software testing comprises successively running all the tests in the test suite. This is exhaustive and will take an inordinate volume of time. However, gathering and running a large test suite or test cases is still infeasible, as it would not be likely to run all test cases. An approach that grouping of Adaptive Testing and Random Partition Testing which is called as Adaptive Random Partition Testing (ARPT) strategy that enhances the testing ability. The objective of this proposed work is to improve random partition in ARPT strategies by utilizing clustering algorithms like Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) clustering algorithms and the Self-organizing map (SOM) which can be efficiently utilized for partition. In this way, random partitioning is improved to reduce the time conception and complexity in ARPT testing strategies. Improved ARPT (IARPT) utilizes clustering algorithms to improve the random partitioning of ARPT testing strategies. This paper describes how the clustering algorithms reduce the computational complexity of random partitioning testing in the ARPT testing strategy.

Text is a part of direct source of information in a scene image. But it is a great challenge for us to detect, extract and recognise the text by seeing a scene image due to the difference in size, style, orientation, robustness to background complexity, text degradation and distortion, text variations, and moving objects. A few applications are helps for outwardly impeded people, interpreters for sightseers, data recovery frameworks indoor and outdoor environment and programmed robot route. Existing strategies for scene content recognition can be arranged into three groups: sliding window-based, associated segment-based AdaBoost Classifier and Clustering systems. Sliding window based strategies are otherwise called region-based techniques; the sliding window is utilised to scan for potential texts in the image and after that utilisation AI methods to recognise text. Connected component-based methods separate CCs from images by connecting-components by grouping character-candidates into the text; extra checks might be performed to dispose of the non-text regions. The AdaBoost technique is for connecting the clusters by their pairwise relations. The AdaBoost technique is for connecting the clusters by their pairwise relations. MSER algorithm is used to check the connected clusters are connected correctly or not. Analysis of video data is of high prominence nowadays and text in videos is a chief source of information in them. Extracting text from videos has been implemented in many ways. It is focused on tracking text with detection and recognition of text. Using on a Bayesian framework with bilateral filter, we carry out the extraction of embedded caption text in web videos. The Bayesian framework of tracking based text detection and Recognition(T2DAR) from videos is used, which has significant tasks of text tracking. The missing detection is retrived by tracking the text is tuned the scales of detected tracking based text recognition. An agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering is implemented to cluster the over segmented trajectories. This approach of tracking the text and detection has given a better result when compared to existing ones.

The paper explores George Bernard Shaw’s presentation of prostitution, sexuality, women’s economic slavery, and depreciation of their identity in Mrs Warren’s Profession. It contextualizes enforced prostitution, women’s sexual exploitation, and their economic oppression in a male dominated capitalist society of the 19th century England. As a Fabian Socialist, social reformer, and dramatist, Bernard Shaw’s views on these issues vied attention of the social and political thinkers, and feminist activists. Prostitution was one of the important issues concerning women that transformed them into saleable bodies, performative ocular sexuality, and coerced them into sex in the brothels of the English society. It not only relegated women to the secondary position, but it explicitly treated them as sex objects. What has not yet been explored, is that by staging prostitution, Shaw advances the notion that woman’s role is to receive pains, suffering so that men can advance their knowledge. By making use of masculine dominance over traditionally female values, like other intellectuals from the Victorian period, Shaw viewed inflicting pain as necessary masculine prerogatives.

Nowadays, a significant number of households are still unable to afford to buy their own houses due to the high prices on the market. However, household income is also at odds with the market price of housing. Housing affordability stress, therefore, refers to a situation in which households spend only 30% of their income on housing costs. Therefore, two research objectives were set. The first objective is to identify factors affecting the stress of housing affordability between Gen Y. The second objective is to examine the relationship between income and house prices affecting the stress of housing affordability. Data are collected through secondary sources and information provided by respondents through questionnaire surveys. The data are then analyzed using the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS). Method of data analysis includes Frequency Analysis, Likert Scale Analysis, Cross Tabulation Analysis and Pearson Chi-Square Analysis. The results show that 67 respondents still haven't had their own house and they live with their families or still rent a house. Just 33 respondents own their own house and most purchase just RM200,000 to RM250,000 one-storey terrace homes. The high house price provided, household income is not parallel to the current economy and high down payment and other charges are three factors that strongly influence the housing affordability pressure.

With the introduction of high-dimensional big data storage and streaming information, deep learning has unexpectedly become a critical need on a very large scale. Such deep learning should be highly quick, should readily scale up with quantity and dimension, should be prepared to know from streaming data, should be prepared to reduce dimensions for high-dimensional information automatically, and should be deployable on hardware. Neural networks are well placed to tackle these large-scale deep learning difficulties. In this study work on the suggested algorithm for High Dimensional Big Data Classification using the method of Big Data-as - a-Service to portray, decrease, incorporate and manage High Dimensional Big Data, and then provide proactive facilities. The model suggested consists of three aircraft, the detecting flight, the cloud flight and the implementation flight. Our suggested model centered on fusion-based teaching (MLP-based approach and CNN-based approach) to obtain successful efficiency by taking advantage of the residual network in classifying high-dimensional information. To unfold the load forward and backward method into a distinctive method, it is introduced in each remaining module. Learning depending on fusion is assessed on various datasets and successful outcomes have been shown that exceed past finest outcomes.

The current waste segregation methods include manual segregation of waste by the waste generators. This method though simple is not effective when it comes to accuracy and time interval of waste segregation. We present an effective system for the above purpose which segregates waste based on supervised machine learning algorithms and segregates the waste into cardboard, glass, metal, trash, paper and plastic. Initially, data is collected and augmentation is done. The algorithm converts the image sets available in different folders into gray scale converting it to a 2D matrix. The images are then converted and stored in a 1D array which are further used for labeling while testing. By using CNN the input images are sampled and then convolved to determine the edges in the images. Pooling is done iteratively to reduce the dimensions of the image. Further, on application of activation function the output image is obtained. The proposed system presents a simple and an effective method to segregate waste using machine learning, thus completely removing human intervention in the segregation stage. An efficiency of 80% has been achieved in the testing process.

As the size and complexity of the software systems are increasing day-by-day, the software reliability is an essential research concern for both software developers and clients. Software reliability make sure that the software products are failure free and reliable for software testing and product deploymentphases. Also, software reliable models are the key metrics to find the software quality and customer satisfaction. A large number of software reliability models have been proposed in the literature to improve the software product quality and failure free. However, no single model is suggested to optimize the software faults with high prediction rate and minimum error rate. Also, as the number of software faults are increasing in size then these models are restricted to limited parameter constraints for reliability prediction. Since, the reliability of the software products may increase or decrease depending on the selection of optimal parameter estimation and optimization functions. To overcome these problems, a novel software reliability prediction model with maximized composite functions is designed and implemented on various software failure datasets to estimate the software reliability with high accuracy. In the proposed model, a novel optimization parameter is used to improve the decision making on the software reliability using the optimized software reliability growth function. This proposed growth function is based on set of maximized composite functions for parameter estimation. Experimental results proved that the proposed model has high software reliability prediction rate with less error compared to the existing software reliability models.

The Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry is furiously focused. In this way, for the accomplishment of organization, adaptable powerful business strategies is fundamental which can be changed quickly at whatever point new difficulties are gone up against. In showcasing, bundling and brand worth has a significant job in deciding the eventual fate of an item. It is the brand which conveys confidence and fulfilment among the purchasers. To satisfy the hopes of their buyers, organizations need to put their earnest attempts to keep everything set up. They utilize mechanized apparatus in each progression of creation prompting higher efficiency and consistency in items. Notwithstanding, in spite of cautious creation, a few deformities still creep inn which may be in the form of incorrect barcode being printed, illegible or no labelling, no caps, improperly filled bottles etc. This checking turns into a difficult undertaking for a human monitor when huge quantities of items are to be assessed and can prompt human mistakes. Therefore, to guarantee in general nature of the created articles, computerizing the investigation procedure appears to be a feasible arrangement. The complete validation is provided by implementing processing an image technique on one of the platforms called LabVIEW. In this process there is no disturbance in high-speed line in production. A Smart Camera 1742 from National Instruments is used to acquire images of goods and products travelling on a conveyor belt and those are processed to fulfil the above needs and requirement.

Integration of Renewable energy in Grid is increasing enormously. The main Grid comprises of multiple Micro Grids and numerous Nano Grids. Micro Grid is a localized Grid that can disconnect from the Main Grid to operate autonomously when the Main Grid fails. Nano Grids consists of small Micro Grids which supplies power to single building or a small area. In order to pre-determine the electrical system parameters in the Nano and Micro Grids, the mathematical model of proposed RE sources (Photovoltaic PV, Wind, Fuel cell) are developed and analyzed through real time data. The IOT based cloud is to be used to acquire real time data from various locations. The designed mathematical model is to be simulated by suitable software package and experimentally evaluated through the recent embedded TEXAS INSTRMENTS LAUNCH PAD’s (MSP432E401Y, CC3220SF), Arduino Due and (Raspberry pi) hardware. The both simulated and emulated outputs are compared and equated in real time.

This research was conducted to reduce the presence of heavy metals such as Cu2+ on polluted lands using mix culture Thiobacillus sp. and bacteria Clostridium sp. as bioremediation substances. Currently, soil contamination due to heavy copper metals is a huge global responsibility. It is, therefore, necessary to innovate a promising, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly technique without secondary pollution to combat these metals. This is a follow-up research after Thiobacillus sp. and Clostridium sp. was found to have adequately lived on artificial media, such as Stone Mineral Salt solution containing metal polluters weighing about 100 ppm, with growth speed of cells/mL 21.580. Furthermore, both bacteria was used to describe the sterile soil containing 100 ppm heavy metal Cu2+, with pH 7, 27% average humidity, under a temperature of + 25oC, from 48 to 312 hours. The final concentration was measured using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric method. The results therefore showed that bacterial culture was able to mix the Cu2+ in 24, 72, 120, 168, 216, 264 and 312 hours with each having 18.67%, 27.05%, 39.64%, 40.84%, 56.15%, 36.97% 32.64% respectively. However, the highest removal efficiency occurred for 216 hours, which was above 50%. Therefore, this research is expected to scientifically contribute to the environment, particularly in biotechnology, in order to provide an alternative eco-friendly atmosphere. Management-related efforts were also achieved, which was able to handle the contaminated media using the effective bacteria.

: Brain-computer interface (BCI) system intends to control the environment for the individual using only his thoughts bypassing muscular pathway. Electroencephalography (EEG) is non-invasive signals corresponding to underlying brain wave acting as potential input to BCI. This paper used EEG corresponding to Motor Imagery (MI) of Right hand and Left-hand movement as input to the system designed. Spectral components with a temporal resolution of signal acted as strong features in BCI and achieved by using wavelet transform. Extracting relevant features is linked with wavelet basis selection. This work proposes a new method of energy compaction in the approximate band for wavelet basis selection. Daubechies and Bio-orthogonal family, the preferred wavelets for biomedical signals, are used for band energy comparison. Experimenting verifies biorthogonal wavelets bior2.8, bior3.1, bior5.5, bior6.8 and Daubechies wavelets db10, db13, db14, db15 carries more energy in the approximate band for signal under test. This paper further suggested the restriction on features extracting from µ band (8-12Hz) and β band (15-30Hz), reducing the burden on the classifier. The higher-order statistical features extracted in this work represent the dynamics of the signal. Bior6.8 and db10 emerge as the matching wavelets with a classification accuracy of 82.01% and 82.82% respectively using Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification

: Software Process Improvement is generally regarded a key to economic success by increasing the quality of software systems, accelerating time-to-market and decreasing development costs. The new software development paradigm is much different from the traditional approach. It is necessary to study and analyze the gap between classical and modern software development methods. The use of agile methods is becoming widespread in the system development industry. Agile methods have several benefits over traditional plan-based methods, in particular their ability to handle projects where requirements are dynamic Organization’s varying needs and environments results in context specific adjustments of agile methods. In the present digital transformation world, agility processes, practice and degree of agility need to be assessed. The assessment of agile work is often based on how well the organization complies with a commercial method. In the last few years, a number of agile software development methods have been developed but a detailed evaluation (which is essential) of these methods is not available. In this paper, we survey and compare traditional software development models and agile software models, described their advantages and disadvantages, and discuss the features they inherit. The aim is to identify how gaps between practice and priority can be measured. A detailed study has been conducted to measure the perceptual performance of five Scrum practices with consideration to the prioritization of seven agile aspects. The results shows that the studied agile aspects are considered essential in the organization and that practices in some cases underperform or over perform. This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of two well-known agile methods, XP and Scrum, based on agility characterization. However, in this study, compliance of practices to strategic priorities is considered.

As the technology is advancing day by day, experiments and researches are being carried out to make the cooling of electronic systems such as PCB and projector’s internal electronic components more efficient. The motive of this paper is to endow the better cooling environment to the electronic devices. The location of a fan or the blower installed in them is varied to enhance the heat transfer through forced convection phenomenon. If the cooling system of an electronic device is designed effectively the high heat generated at the maximum load can be easily cast off, and hence better reliability can be achieved. Turbulence model is applied to visualize the flow behavior. This analysis is done on the software ANSYS 15.0 (modeling in ICEM CFD, and flow analysis on FLUENT). This analysis will help to predict the better conditions for the manufacturing of cooling models for electronic systems.

The current business environment is changing at a rapid pace due to technological, political, economic and social changes. Companies should be able to continuously adapt to these changes and exploit them as development opportunities. Indeed, organizational agility is a key enabling capability that allows the company to monitor environmental change and act effectively in order to maintain and improve its sustainable performance. Through this article, we focus on the most significant levers, including the IT ones, likely to improve the level of organizational agility. In fact, we propose a global approach for the company in order to evaluate its agility index and recommend improvements according to the IT levers. Concerning the evaluation of the agility index, our approach is based on two widely used methods in the literature: a fuzzy method that calculates the fuzzy agility index and the second one that computes an index based on three metrics which are market share, efficiency and response capacity. For the recommendations part, our approach relies on an AHP model which allows the company to select the IT levers having the highest priority and likely to improve its agility index. Furthermore, we verified the applicability of our approach through a real business case study.

Cold-formed research that has been studied, which still focused on the capacity of beam and column components. Nonetheless, there is still a lack of data and knowledge on the composite construction behavior, and the performance of CFS Composite beam advantages such as strength and cheapness have led to the dominance of composite beam in the commercial building. The purpose of this study is to investigate the failure modes that occur and present the results of the strength and stiffness of the gusset plate connection of the composite structure. This study uses one type of connection made in the form of cantilever beams whose floor plates use concrete cast with metal decking. The shear connector used uses M12 grade 8.8 bolts with the same tensile stress as the other bolt connections. Beams and columns use cold-formed steel with a thickness of 2.4 mm with a DLC200 size for the beam and a DLC300 size for the columns. The connection uses a hot-rolled steel type gusset plate with a thickness of 6 mm. This failure mode can be indicated that there is an influence of the sliding bolt resistance and bolt support on the joint resistance. Deformation also occurs on a concrete plate that occurs at a distance of 100 mm from the face of the column flange The recording results show the ultimate load achieved is 31.6 kN with 62.26 mm deflection. The ultimate moment occurs is 31.6 kNm with a rotation of 0.038 rad, and the stiffness experiment is 730 kNm/rad. The ratio of the moment experimental with analytical calculations showing a good agreement of 1.41. The ratio between other study has 0.50 ratio of moment resistance and 0.46 for stiffness

Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly evolving concept with some ability to change physical interaction amongst organizations and individuals. IoT attempts to swap “things” in reliable and secure manner. IoT has acquired application in numerous fields like learning, training, healthcare, resource management, information processing and so on. Moreover, real time implementation of IoT technology is to fulfil numerous privacy and security that are to be alleviated for large scale deployment. Prevention approach is anticipated to improve IoT device security and network against DoS attack which takes huge bandwidth in present IoT devices. As networks are self-configuring and wireless and it does not require pre-existing infrastructure and possess changeable node movements, security turns to be a most crucial crisis to be resolved. The anticipated model is sourced on investigations and analysis of bandwidth attacks that significantly concentrates on DoS which is considered to be significant challenge and complexity to identify; as well it reduces network performance. DoS comprise of set of malicious/vulnerable nodes and target certain node to stop users from accessing resources and services. Intrusion prevention devices are approaches considered as Add-ons’ to aggressively identify and avoid it for IDS detection process. Here, 3-tier (3T) intrusion prevention model, that is, at first, features dimensionality has to be reduced. Subsequently, Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) is for linear computation of intrusion features in order to carry out effectual classification. Thirdly, Linear filtering and forwarding (LFF) is to block unnecessary data that influences IoT devices. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB environment, performance metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, recall is computed for evaluation

A growing number of researchers in universities prefer using electronic information resources, such as electronic journals and web databases, to conduct their literature reviews. This trend has resulted in continued increases in the electronic information resource acquisitions budgets of academic libraries. Thus, it is crucial to understand the specific needs of these researchers to maximize the effective use of the limited budgets available. The current electronic resource selection methods include surveying university members and analyzing the searches and downloads of journal articles made via the online library management system. However, the electronic resource subscriptions selected using these methods are often insufficient for meeting the information needs of researchers. In this study, the references listed in the academic journal papers published by the members of a particular university were analyzed to determine which e-journal consortia or web databases made the largest contributions to the research reports. This method enabled the discovery of which new resources to subscribe to, as it helped identify the referenced literature that was available through the existing online library management system at the time. Based on the outcomes of this study, academic libraries should be able to better assess the coverage of their electronic information resources in terms of their affiliated members' research outcomes. Eventually, this method should also facilitate the libraries' effective use of their electronic resource acquisition budgets.

Identity can be constructed and represented in different ways. If identity is constructed out of social relations it is an arena of power and symbolism where relations of domination, subordination and solidarity take place. The study would emphasise upon identity not only as a natural category but political, social and economic as well. The tea tribes of Assam are one of the most backward tribes in North east India. They were brought to Assam as indentured labourers by the East India Company mostly from present-day Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. The descendants of these labourers are now called tea tribes in Assam. Assertion of identity and aspiration of the tea tribes, in revolt against their perceived socio-economic and politico-cultural deprivation, had begun during the colonial period. They were bought to Assam by the colonial planters giving them false assurance regarding easy work, ideal condition of work, better pay etc. Gradually the migrant workers realized that it was all false assurances given by the colonial planters, and hence they started to agitate against the exploitation and to form an identity of their own in Assam. The primary focus of the paper is to understand the colonial factors leading to the construction of tea tribes identity in Assam and its later day crisis.

Internet of Things (IoT) is the expansion of connectivity to all the physical objects in our life. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a group of nodes containing self-sustaining sensors, which senses surrounding conditions. Interconnection of these sensors into IoT will be a big revolution in growing sensor technology. The growth of sensor nodes, leads to the increase of faulty nodes count. This by default affects the Quality of Service (QoS) of WSN based IoT. Therefore by detecting the faulty nodes and reusing them enhances the quality of monitoring to a large extend. Due to the difficulty in identifying the internal status of sensor nodes, it is important to develop algorithms to find faulty nodes. The existing fault detection algorithm yields low accuracy. In this work, three input fuzzy inference system (FIS) is used, which identifies hardware faults like, transmitter circuit condition, receiver circuit condition and battery condition. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme increases the detection accuracy when compared to the conventional schemes.

This study determined the effectiveness of assimilating technology in Drafting. The quasi- experimental particularly non-equivalent groups design was used in this study. Sixty-six (66) students were identified as participants, 31 in the group taught with Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and 35 in the traditional strategy. Mean and t-test were used. Performance of the group without CAD resulted from satisfactory to very satisfactory in isometric and remain satisfactory in orthographic. Performance of the group with CAD moved to very satisfactory both in orthographic and isometric. No significant difference was manifested in the pre-tests between groups in orthographic and significant in shape in the isometric. A significant difference was manifested in the post-test between groups in shape and position in orthographic and position in isometric. Thus, the two strategies are effective in teaching orthographic and isometric. Teachers can use both strategies and should be at par in integrating technology in the classroom.

Tourism is the main driving force of the Indonesian economy. So far, Indonesia's maritime economic potential has not been optimally developed, especially in Natuna. The area of Natuna Sea is 99.25%, so it is very potential to develop marine tourism. Natuna is also included in the planning of the Global Maritime Fulcrum and is given the authority to manage tourism. Natuna Geopark has also been inaugurated by UNESCO in 2019. The presence of a geopark in Natuna will have an impact on the movement of foreign tourists. Thus, it is necessary to prepare human resources for tour guides to welcome foreign tourists. This study describes the design of Natuna Tourism application with an emphasis on mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) to introduce Natuna tourism in Indonesian, English and Mandarin. Through this application, students can learn independently. This application also features pictures and sounds with a quiz that helps learners to memorize vocabulary. Before designing this application, researchers first conducted interviews with the Natuna tourism service and religious high schools. From the interviews, the application was designed using the Mnemonic method. Researchers hope that with applications on smartphones that can be used offline, the Natuna tourism agency will develop and can contribute to improving the maritime economyfishermen, fish processing technology and illegal fishing. Whereas the obstacle in the field of goods distribution is the Sea Toll Program which is of little help due to the trip schedules of ships which are only twice a month. The fishermen's catch has become no longer fresh and cannot be sold at high prices. There should be special treatment for Natuna by developing a model of economic integration of Maritime and tourism.

This study aims to conduct analysis and scenarios on performance benefit policies on the Professional, Welfare and Public Service aspects of the Indonesian Navy. This is because the current performance allowance given to Navy Personnel is not yet entirely based on achievement, workload, and risk of work performed. The policy evaluation method used is the development of a System Dynamic Concept-based model. The formulation is carried out by evaluating the main variables and aspects as a system that interacts. The output of this Dynamic System Model Analysis is Scenario and policy evaluation on the variable being assessed. Policy scenarios serve as indicators that show that variables need to be evaluated according to the strategic significance obtained. Then the policy scenario is simulated on the model. There are four scenarios: (a) Improvement of Professional Capability, (b) Increasing Professional Allowances and incorporating into the Performance Allowance structure, (c) Increasing Workload that impacts Assignment Risks and (d) Combined or Integrated Scenarios. Based on the analysis of all the scenarios, the best scenarios that can be applied in the implementation of the performance allowance policy are in the Navy.

: Ecotourism should be a facilitator, where each woman takes her role according to the abilities and influences of the surrounding environment. The presence of ecotourism also gave a different response to the group of village women in the Sembalun Lawang ecotourism area, East Lombok. The results of the study show that women involved in ecotourism are motivated by their desire to play a role in the public sector, increase their capacity and want to improve the family economy. While the group of women who did not follow the changes in the presence of ecotourism was caused by cultural factors, social construction by patriarchal culture, and their desire not to fully involve themselves in the ecotourism sector.

Bernard Shaw’s purpose of writing is social reform, and he uses his plays as weapons to change people’s mind, conscience, and cherished institution. He uses satire to puncture a host of social institutions and conventions, thus providing the people with a Mephistophelian image. He has been considered a great satirist by critics. As good satirist his object of writing is to change or correct human or social shortcomings, vices or follies, and that of laughing is the tool he uses for his purposes. He takes attention on what he needs to change, and as a satirist he frequently exaggerates reality with intensity and lashes at it. Through the present research, we aim to highlight how Bernard Shaw used his literary carrier to criticize the follies of his contemporary society; also to attempt to explain how satire is used to reject the social values in the Victorian era.

Environment has a role on humans, if humans do not allow it then the environment will be a problem for humans themselves, such as environmental damage that occurs in humans. The fact that occurs in the field that the river has changed many functions as we see in observational data, that Riau Province which has 12 regencies and cities, has the same problem of environmental damage, such as river flow that changes functions so that it causes drought in the dry season and flood in the season rain. So far there has been a strong ban on protecting environmentally conscious values. The role of lubuk ban becomes a model in maintaining clean and clear river flow so that it becomes a source of livelihood for the community but also plays a role in protecting local fish that have started to become extinct, becomes a model in protecting the social environment (social sanctions), besides that it is no less important play a role in maintaining trees along the river as a form of greening and the last is an economic source for the community because of the tourism that is visited by visitors who are a source of income for the community while the role in education as a study material in school learning.

The present study tried to validate the Academic emotion regulation questionnaire (AERQ) developed by Buric, Soric and Penezic (2016), in the Indian context. The sample of the study comprised of 355 students (330 boys and 5 girls) of IInd and IIIrd years “School of Mechanical Engineering, Lovely Professional University”, Phagwara, Punjab, India. The original tool had eight dimensions, measured by 37 items on a five point Likert scale. In the present study, exploratory factor analysis conducted using SPSS Statistics Ver. 23.0 software, extracted seven dimensions, with 49.045 percent of variance explained. The dimension Situation selection was dropped owing to its poor reliability estimates. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the factor structure of AERQ with the help of SPSS AMOS Ver. 23.0 software. The good fitness of indices like CMIN/DF, GFI, TLI, CFI, RMR, RMSEA were used as the estimates. The tested model had excellent goodness of fit estimates and thus displayed construct validity. Since one of the notorious limitations of the Cronbach alpha is underestimation of the true reliability of a scale under the violation of Tau-equivalence condition, a rarely reported the greatest lower bound (GLB) reliability, was used in this study, calculated using FACTOR software, which revealed acceptable reliability estimates for the seven extracted dimensions. The revised version AERQ, with its 30 items and seven dimensions is thus found to posses the required psychometrics for administration on the Indian university students. A parsimonious model of academic emotion regulation using two of the mostly studied dimensions of academic emotion regulation, was also validated to present a parsimonious version of the construct..

The Increasing world population demands higher agricultural crop production to fulfill the food requirement. Therefore, intercropping is the best way to increase productivity in limited land area with organic inputs. To enhance the positive attitudes towards intercropping and organic farming, this experiment was carried out at the Crop Farm of Eastern University, Sri Lanka from January to April 2019 to study the effect of planting geometry with the application of liquid organic fertilizer (Jeewamirta) on the growth and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L) intercropped with Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. Treatments were okra as a sole crop with the spacing of 90cm×60cm (T1), cowpea as a sole crop with the spacing of 30cm×15cm (T2), okra in 60cm×60cm with one row of cowpea (T3), okra in 90cm×60cm with 2 rows of cowpea (T4) and okra in 120cm×60cm with three rows of cowpea. This investigation revealed that there was a significant (p<0.05) effects in planting geometry in intercropping. The significant (p<0.05) highest values were obtained in okra with two rows of cowpea (T4) in plant height, leaf number, shoot biomass, root biomass, leaf area, average weight of fruit, 100 seed weight and yield than respective monocroppings. Further, Land Equivalent Ratio showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in T4. Therefore, it could be concluded that okra in 90 cm × 60cm with two rows of cowpea can be recommended for okra-cowpea intercropping to enhance the growth and yield.

In the present generation, surroundings molding has become a primary task in the navigation of mobile robots. It is very important for an autonomous robot to automatically build an abstract over surroundings as it is not possible for human intervention all the time. A robot must work on both the localization and mapping to adapt itself to the surroundings. In this work, a surrounding molded algorithm has been developed which purely based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). The mapping and localization issue, called Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), is an operation of developing an abstract map on the surroundings to identify the robot coordinates. The SLAM algorithm mainly begins with a mobile robot in an undetermined position without previous knowledge of the surroundings on the map.

Effective fusion of multispectral images captured by visible and infrared cameras enables robust pedestrian detection under various surveillance situations (e.g., daytime and nighttime). However, the performance of detecting small-sized pedestrian instances is still not satisfactory, while small pedestrian detection is important for self-driving and drone vision. Therefore, our effort focuses on improving the detection performance of small-sized multispectral pedestrians which are relatively far from the camera. Since existing multispectral pedestrian datasets mainly consider the large size pedestrians of 50 or more pixels in height, we generate a multispectral pedestrian dataset, named HH (Hanyang and Huins), in which the pedestrian height is from 25 to 50 pixels. To balance the trade-off between the detection performance and speed, we investigate a fusion network to combine two single-shot detectors (SSDs) for the fusion of visible and infrared inputs. The proposed fusion network is trained on public KAIST and KAIST + HH datasets, respectively. From the experimental results, we can observe that the detection performance has been improved a lot by incorporating HH dataset into KAIST dataset for training. The network trained by the original KAIST dataset has only 7.40% average precision (AP). However, the results can be significantly improved to 88.32% by using KAIST + HH for training. This indicates that training images have a great impact on detection performance.

The aim of this study is to investigate the learning progression that occurs in pre-service primary students during Visual Multimedia Supported Conceptual Change Text (VMMSCCText) activity about battery function in the electrical circuit. VMMSCCText is a conceptual change text supported by visual multimedia developed for the purpose of remediation of misconceptions through text mode. The method used in this research is mixed method (quantitative descriptive and qualitative). The study was conducted on 118 subjects of pre-service primary students in Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar program at FKIP Universitas Riau Indonesia. Learning progression describes a change of conception from the initial state to the state of the process and then to the final state of the VMMSCCText activity. Analysis of student worksheets and conception tests has been used to diagnose the state of conception in each of these circumstances. Learning progression consists of four types, namely 1) Type I, consistent with scientific conception; 2) Type II, progressing well; 3) Type III, not progression; and 4) Type IV, degradation. The results showed that during VMMSCCText activities most of the subjects were in well-progressed types (81.25 %) and almost half of the subjects were still in non-progressed types (12.25 %). No subject is in the consistent with scientific conception type and type of degradation. The results of this study indicate that developed VMMSCCText is good enough in facilitating the learning progression of students in order to change the conception of the condition of misconception and lack of knowledge to the condition of scientific conception

At present days, the prediction of stock prices is very complicated as it depends on various factors. Several researches have been done to foresee the stock prices which will be helpful for users to identify the direction of stock price movement. Recently, machine learning and bio-inspired algorithms are employed for precise Stock market prediction (SMP). Though classification methods perform wells on SMP, the presence of numerous factors in the stock process decreases the efficiency of the applied classification algorithm. So, feature selection methods are applied to reduce the computation complexity and enhance the classification accuracy of SMP. This paper projects a novel new feature selection based classification model for forecasting the stock prices in an effective way. The proposed algorithm employs particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to select the features properly which will enhance the classifier performance. In addition, we employ a novel architecture of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based classifier for forecasting the closing price of stocks. The presented model is validated using Borsa Istanbul Index (BIST) dataset. The simulation outcome showed that the projected model is the compared methods under several aspects.

Aggregates are significant constituent of any infrastructure building including roads. Use of natural aggregates like sand, broken up stone and rocks are increasingly restricted by the zoning regulations, urbanization, environmental concerns and increased costs. Though the utilization of slag has begun in India, technologies and studies should be advanced to make full utilization of slag. But use of slag aggregates in road construction is least practiced in India. Limited utilization of slag is made in preparation of hot asphalt mixes. Hence there is a need to study the properties of hot asphalt mixes prepared using slag aggregates. In the present investigation an attempt made to examine the properties of hot asphalt mixes prepared by adding copper slag as major admixture by conducting laboratory studies on strength and performance of the mix. Copper slag used as partial replacement of conventional coarse and fine aggregates respectively. Bituminous concrete grade-II as per Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORT&H) specification is selected for the present study. The conventional aggregates were replaced with copper slag in the hot asphalt mixes of bituminous concrete grade-II. Marshall Stability Test (MST) and Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) were conducted on bituminous concrete grade-II asphalt. From the MST it is noticed that the highest stability for mix containing copper slag and the increase in Marshall Stability is about 7% respectively compared to conventional mix. The tensile strength ratio of mixes containing copper slag for varying temperature of 25oC, 35oC, 45oC, 55oC and 65˚Cwas found to be 1.94, 2.01, 2.16, 2.76, and 4 times higher respectively as compared to conventional mixes.

Changes in language intertwine with changes in society: social, cultural, and historical shifts reflect on the vocabulary of the language. Extralinguistic changes transform into linguistic ones. New phenomena, concepts and objects demand the creation of new words - neologisms. Social changes result in many neologisms enriching the Kazakh language. To examine the current trends in neologisms, we analyzed the materials of the online dictionary at www.sozdik.kz and concluded that it is a useful source for neologisms in the Kazakh language. It is one of the first online dictionaries in Kazakh culture. The static analysis and classification of the data suggest that online dictionaries of neologisms remain flexible avoiding tendency to codifications.

Topic models are extensively used to classify documents into topics. There are many topic models in the field of text analysis which classify the documents efficiently. In this paper, we propose a method to categorize research papers to topics using LDA or Latent Dirichlet Allocation Model for text categorization. The research papers are selected randomly and based on variational parameters; every document is classified into a topic. It is proved that the LDA model among the topic models is efficient, reliable and simple for classifying textual data. By our observations, we infer that the LDA model is better than the conventional Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machines in the field of text classification. We use the Cora dataset to observe the distribution of ten topics over nine randomly selected scientific documents.

Career related decisions often begin at the high school level and many adolescents face problems in this process, which are referred to as career indecision. Career indecision can be divided into two types, development indecision and career indecisiveness. It is crucial to bring out the difference between indecision that is a typical stage in life while choosing a career and indecisiveness which is an attribute exhibited in the person’s failure in making decisions in diverse life situation because dealing with indecision of different types will require different measures. Many studies, both from India and abroad, have demonstrated that adolescents in institutional care face many emotional and personality related issues which may predispose them towards career indecisiveness. Therefore, it is especially important to distinguish between these two types of career indecision in case of these adolescents. Further, as career indecisiveness is more chronic in nature, a prolonged focused strategy is required to alleviate it. With a view to help adolescents in institutional care deal with career indecisiveness, this paper discusses the results of a study conducted to find out the causes of career indecisiveness in adolescents in institutional care.

With the possible future of a localized grid connected photovoltaic power system, the emphasis on the power quality at the distribution level has become much more of a priority. However, one of the major problems with self-generated power supply is the lack of power quality consistency due to the generation of harmonics via local non-linear loads. In an effort to overcome the aforementioned limitation, a custom grid-connected DSTASTCOM is proposed, which can theoretically reduce the generating harmonics to improve the overall power quality. The control strategy is based on the D-Q frame control theory and is theorized to provide a cost-effective alternative to the more conventional and expensive equipment.

Waste management is beneficial from an environmental, social and economic perspective. This study aims to investigate the general public and informal garbage collector’s perception from social, environmental, and economic aspects. A total of 300 respondents were interviewed (125 households and 125 informal garbage collectors) from seven districts of Faisalabad. The results reported that the majority of the residents blamed themselves for poor management of solid waste which leads to different environmental issues. Lack of awareness among the general public about waste management practices is one of the key factors for environmental issues. Further, solid waste collection by informal garbage collectors would not only improve the social and environmental sustainability but would also serve as a source of income (economic value). Ordinary least square (OLS) method was also used to check the impact of different factors affecting the income level of garbage collectors. Working hours was the only variable which has a significant impact on income. The policy makers should increase the awareness among masses regarding the improvements of the environment by better management. There should also be an awareness program for garbage collectors regarding health hazards by involving NGOs and other volunteers.

The conservation of natural resources as well as for protecting the environment with maintaining quality living standards can be achieved by the proper waste management system. Sustainable development, waste elimination, minimization, recycling, reusing and replacing are playing a major role to handle waste management. Waste to energy and landfilling are the most promising technologies today. However, waste segregation is necessary to achieve the targets by filling the vacuum between households and local government authorities. The waste to energy is not much popular in Sri Lanka due to the high moisture content of the municipal solid waste. However, the pre-drying mechanism with solar heating can be applied together with bulking agents to minimize the moisture content of the waste. The rotational solar drum has been identified as the best option with minimum operating cost to implement the waste to energy process.

Software development is a core component in the academic training curriculum in various computing disciplines in universities, colleges, polytechnics, and vocational institutes respectively. In many of the said academic curricula there is often a superficial treatment of vital project management elements such as scheduling, costing, risk and quality management, and basic legal concepts of contracts. Every software developer/engineer is expected to have basic knowledge of the said elements which go a long way to boosting his/her professionalism during contract negotiations and execution of software-based contracts. The absence of the use of real-life cases during academic training undermines the extent of project management knowledge transferred to the trainee software engineer/developer. This paper is presented using a real-life software development contract involving a private secondary healthcare provider in Lagos Nigeria. This paper provides a concise but informative case study report emphasizing on basic project management methodology. This paper reflects on how project costing and analysis of return on investment is key to determining the reality of small/medium-sized software contracts.

The post-harvest sector involves the processes from harvest to consumption. Losses of fruits and vegetables are a major problem in the post-harvest chain. Post-harvest loss is the degradation of both the quality and quantity of agricultural produce. Sri Lanka is an ideal county for agriculture because it is a tropical country. Climate is well suited for agriculture. Because of that, the yield of the agricultural commodity is getting high. But levels of post-harvest losses continue to persist in fresh produce value chains in Sri Lanka because of a large variety of factors varying from growing condition to handling at keep level. Fruits and vegetables are the most perishable produce. When considering Sri Lanka, pumpkin holds a priority in post-harvest losses. Not only are losses a waste of food but they also show a similar waste of human effort, agriculture inputs livelihoods, investment and scarce sources such as water. This is one of the major issues in Sri Lanka that we identified. The objectives of this article were both the utilization of pumpkin which produces in excess amount, for product development and partially replacing wheat flour with pumpkin flour. The manufacturing of extruded snacks with pumpkin flour is the healthy food alternative regarding the utilization of pumpkin to reduce the post-harvest loss.

The SPC (statistical process control) method is the most common method for the most efficient evaluation of the production process based on the sampling inspection and the chart performance. This problem is currently being studied in the economic planning of control charts and more recently in adaptive control charts. The traditional approach to the control charts' design uses the traditional structure of the control charts to determine the values of the parameters of the chart, that is, the sample size, sampling intervals, and control limits for meeting economic or statistical needs. Under the Bayesian approach, one can focus on defining the best control policy based on the posterior, thereby reducing the total expected costs in the finite time horizon or the average expected long-term costs. In this paper, the Bayesian control chart is developed using Bayesian approach by employing Gamma prior distribution, which is considered as generalization of exponential prior distribution.

The readability of a program is concerned with its maintainability. The maintenance of software generally stands for evolving software, and even customizing existing code is a significant practice of modern software engineering. Readability also correlated with software quality, code change, and defect reporting. Code readability is a very decisive factor in software development. Code readability mainly provides a mechanism to ease of maintainability and code reusability. In order to measure the readability of code, we proposed readability metrics. In this paper, we validate our proposed MSR-SM Framework for the above purpose. An empirical study is conducted to achieve the aims of the study. We have written a code to extract the code information stored in historical repositories to collect the data for validation practice. We have extracted the data from a series of versions of the program to examine the variation in the ratio of source codes and comments between them. Contribution- This study comprises of a significant amount of empirical details related to association between code attributes and readability. We recognize that these details probably would have implications for the style of coding and its evaluation as well as for the design of programming

As it is often said that the destiny of a nation is designed and shaped inside the sacred four walls of classrooms, it is the bounden duty and the humble responsibility of a teacher to rise to the heights of the expectations of the nation. Undoubtedly, the development of a state is dependent on its education policy. As an example of this, we have seen nations flourishing on all fronts based on the sound education system. The advancement of America in all aspects is only due to its academics- America has invited the best brains i.e., scholars, scientists, technocrats - from all parts of the world and could establish the paramount universities and attract millions of foreign students. It’s only a very few countries that could become the centres of learning. The obvious reason is- the education policies of those nations. In this paper, we have discussed certain best teaching practices that need to be adopted and practised by a teacherIndex Terms— Minimum 7 keywords are mandatory, Keywords should closely reflect the topic and should optimally characterize the paper. Use about four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.

Many RSA variants have been proposed to improve the efficiency of the standard RSA cryptosystem. Out of all such RSA-type cryptosystems, Rebalanced RSA has been constructed for effective transactions with smaller machines. In this scheme, decryption is made faster by choosing “d”, the secret key first in key generation instead of choosing the public key “e” as in the case of RSA leaving the computational burden on encryption side. This chapter introduces two new schemes to further enhance the efficiency of Rebalanced RSA.

In modern quality control sections, the variable sampling plans are widely used in deciding the acceptance or rejection of the products. In industries variable quality characteristics play a vital role in making the decision about the process or batches. Many quality control practitioners insist that in a variable sampling plan, if a batch is not accepted based on first sample then the decision should be based on more strict criteria. Indeed variation should be monitored in the process. Hence a special type of two stages variable sampling plans is being developed. In the first stage variable criteria, the measures of Location (mean) is considered, the second stage is dealt with measures of dispersion( Variance). The performance measures such as Operating characteristics function and its related measures are derived. A new designing methodology for determining the parameters of the sampling plans are given. Tables are constructed to facilitate easy application of sampling plans in the Quality Control Section of production industries.

The aim of the study is to assess the air pollutants emission with reference to carbon monoxides and Nitrogen Oxides with the view to make urban and regional planning recommendation towards low carbon society. Primary data was gathered from field with the aid of gas sensing device (Gas Sensor By Crown Cone) Outdoor carbon monoxides and Nitrogen Oxides was sensed in four (4) selected local government authorities namely Kano Municipal, Fagge, Nasarawo and Tarauni based on the land uses interactions and 4 major road intersections (junctions) in each local government reading stations was sensed each in a specific days. Monday and Fridays was selected as the busiest day. Friday was used for Kano Municipal and Nassarawo while Fagee and Tarauni Monday was employed the. The study also utilized secondary data obtained from available sources of majorly related journals. The result was tabulated for comparison. The result depict that the study unveiled that, Tarauni local government has the highest average value of carbon monoxides of 21Ppm. The study also indicates that on the other hand, Tarauni local government demonstrates the highest records of Nitrogen Oxides (NO2). This is due to its high volume of traffic. Nassarawa and Fagge local governments relatively portrays very close records of sensed carbon monoxides with 16Ppm and 15Ppm. The result further indicates that Kano Municipal local government maintain the least records of both Carbon monoxides and Nitrogen Oxides of 13Ppm and 00.4. This is due to the facts, the traditional city has less vehicular movements because of its connectivity challenges with the walled city. This therefore affects its rate of emission. Urban plaining towards Low carbon society is to strongly recommend so as to safe guard the environment in sustainable manner. This could be achieved through in-depth study of environmental implications of urban growth within the study area.

Proportional random sampling was chosen to determine the number of teacher samples by using the Slovin formula. Descriptive analysis technique was used to describe the compensation variable (X1), working climate (X2) and teacher performance (Y) by compiling a frequency distribution table to see which categories being studied. Normality test was carried out by using the Liliefors test technique or in the SPSS program called Kolmogrov-Smirnov. The results of the linearity and significance of linear regression were performed using SPSS version 20.0. The results showed that; first, there was no significant effect between compensation and teacher performance. This means that teacher performance is not always determined by compensation. Second, there was an effect between working climate and teacher performance. This meant that the higher the working climate, the higher the teacher's performance results, however, the performance of teachers whose performance was low due to the low working climate. Third, there was an effect between compensation and working climate on teacher performance. This meant that the higher compensation and the better working climate, the higher the teacher's performance. Then, there is a relationship between compensation and work climate on teacher performance. This meant that the higher compensation and working climate of a teacher, the higher performance results of the teacher and vice versa teachers whose performance was low due to compensation and working climate was in low level.

: Importers often encounter demurrage charges. This has been a sensitive issue between the Clearing House Agents (CHA) and the importers. So, the reasons for the occurrence of demurrage has been explored using judgemental sampling survey method from Clearing House Agents. From the research we observe that age in business doesn’t seem to impact on demurrage charges being paid. The main reasons for demurrage are lack of awareness of the consignment for the importers, communication barriers between importer and exporter and less knowledge on documentation procedure. Necessary measures should be taken which will enhance the business mutually.

Watermarking provides us to capability to authenticate medical imaging data. Embedding watermark within medical image adds ability to claim for copyright protection and makes image data robust against the various attacks. In this paper an efficient invisible and robust watermarking method is proposed using novel Edge Detection in Double Density discrete Wavelet Transform (ED3WT) domain method. In the proposed method the input cover image is decomposed in to wavelet coefficients using two level double densities DWT. The edge of the decomposed image s ub bands are calculated using the Sobel edge detector. Watermark is inserted to the edge of the high frequency sub-band coefficients of the decomposed image. This in turn adds the better invisibility. The benefit of using the double density DWT is its robustness against noise and filtering attacks. To add further robustness scaled morphologically dilated high frequency edge coefficient is used as key and is embedded within the image. This further improves the robustness and maintains the invisibility of the watermarking. Performance of proposed method is evaluated using medical images of different environments. The imaging data set includes skin images, MRI, Scalp images, CT scan, images. The parametric evaluation is carried out by calculating the MSE and PSNR. It is observed that method improves the invisibility and is robust to attacks like noise, mean and median filtering. Therefore method is useful for medical imaging data authentication using robust watermarking.

Literacy in the English language is, undoubtedly important as it is one of the prominent languages in education over the years. Among the four skills, the most difficult skill to be mastered by ESL pupils is the writing skill and using idioms is even more challenging. Locally, the use of idioms in writing for national examination, Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 1119/1 paper, is essential because it reflects pupils’ language competency., thus enhances their chances to score more credits. Self-assess learning (SAL), on the other hand, plays an essential role for teachers to provide suitable and accessible learning material. Pupils could access these learning materials at their own convenience via a game-based platform (Quizizz). Hence, this is a mobile self-assess learning via Quizizz. This action research aims to determine if Quizizz could help forty seventeen-year-old pupils from a suburban school learn idioms. Findings and discussion are based on the comparative analysis of their continuous essay writings, the number of idioms used pre- and post-SAL as well as their achievement scores from each level of the quizzes provided in Quizizz.

: Hear rate variability (HRV) is an interesting and noninvasive way to identify autonomic nervous system (ANS) imbalances as well as to assess the effects of stress on the body in various environments. At present, there is no accepted standard for ANS activity measurements when one’s posture changes from a sitting to a standing position. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of postural changes on ANS activity by evaluating HRV indices. HRV indices in the time and frequency domains derived from fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis and a nonlinear analysis were investigated. We evaluated the ANS activity before and after postural changes throughout the entire measurement session. A total of 271 HRV segments were analyzed by shifting the 1-minute data window forward by 2 s for the entire 10-minute HRV dataset. The HRV indices that were affected most by postural changes were SDNN, TINN, CVAA%, SD2, ApEn, and Ln LF. Among the indices, the nonlinear parameters such as CVAA%, SD2, TINN, and ApEn reflected ANS activity better than frequency parameters did. The results demonstrate that a simple change in posture such as moving from sitting to standing increases sympathetic activity and fluctuations in Ln LF magnitude and that the parasympathetic activity recovers one minute after standing up. Therefore, postural changes may be an effective approach for investigating parasympathetic activity through evaluations of nonlinear HRV parameters.

Indonesia is one of the gifted countries with abundant natural resources in many sectors such as plantation, fishery, agriculture, and mining. To support the rapid population development, the natural resources exploited massively to fulfill the needs of humans. As a result of this massive exploitation, environmental degradation could not avoid such as air, soil and water pollution. Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry, located in Konaweha watershed, indicates polluted the water in the Konaweha river. Therefore, this study aims to identify the pollution index water of Konaweha River through physical and chemical parameters as well as to recommend river management system. Sampling has taken in two places in river, which were first around the settlement and second around mining industry. Sampling analysis underwent in laboratory and Index of Pollution (IP) used to identify the level of pollution. The result shows that the highest pollution index is in location 1 located near the mining industry which is 7.20 IP and has moderate pollution level. This happens because in first location, the industrial disposal going to the river and the human activities such as agriculture, plantation and illegal sand mining. Meanwhile, in second location has lower index pollution at 5.40 IP. This is because, in second location, the primary source of pollution comes from human activities such as agriculture, plantation and illegal sand mining.

Sign language recognition is a potentially difficult process using RGB video data in a deep Learning framework due to data inconsistencies during capturing. To improve the recognition accuracy of SLR systems as a whole, researchers applied variable inputs such as depth and motion frames in addition to RGB video. However, skeleton data was little used along with RGB and depth inputs for SLR, although its been in operation for human action recognition. In this work, we explore the possibility and challenges in using RGB, depth and skeletal sign language data for recognition. The recognition is accomplished using a three stream Convolution Neural Network with score fusion on spatial data. Each CNN stream is made up of 8 convolutional layers, two fully connected and a soft max layer. Finally, score fusion is performed to extract the labels during testing. The proposed framework has shown an improvement in recognition accuracy

Rain removal from a single image and a video is a challenging task of image processing which has numerous applications in the area of out-door surveillance. In addition to applications point of view, deraining is a challenging task in image processing point of view as well. Deraining involves removing rain drop marks or rain streaks from the image. While the removal of these marks taking place, the leftover region need to be filled with that of true image which is not available. The second and important operation is not to distract the remaining region in the image. In this paper, a model of deraining was developed using sparse coding. Suitable regularization terms of required components were defined and iterated to get the approximation of clear image. A brief survey on deraining is presented. The simulation results shows superior performance of the proposed scheme. The simulation results also suggest that the proposed scheme is applicable only if the volume of rain drop size is below a certain level.

In the current English Syllabus in Malaysia, speaking skill is given the least importance when it comes to testing. Apart from the School Based Oral Assessment, speaking skills is not tested in Malaysia’s most important public examination; the Malaysia Certificate of Education. This would almost always result into students who can score their writing and reading tests well but are not able to communicate effectively in English. Some of the reasons that influenced the lack of speaking skills among students are anxiety, inhibitions and the lack of opportunity to use the language. Hence, an intervention module is created with the aims to lower students’ anxiety and inhibitions of using the language and also to give them the opportunities to speak. With Collaborative Learning, Creative and Critical Thinking skills are enhanced through 21st century learning. This project requires students to recreate a replica of Malaysia’s Iconic Buildings and display them in an exhibition. Students organized the exhibition to the public which caters to creative and critical thinking skills together with developing a nationalistic identity. Data was collected through pre-test and post-test, students’ reflections and researchers’ field notes from a group of 27 form four students in a fully residential school in Kluang, Johor. Findings show that students’ inhibitions and anxiety are lowered. Additionally, students’ speaking skills are improved as a result of increase in motivation. This goes to show that using collaborative learning would benefit English language teaching and learning, especially the speaking skills

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical tool used to evaluate relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). It is a bench-marking method for these units. To measure this relative efficiency, data related to a set of inputs and outputs are provided from all the DMUs under analysis, and then implemented in a suitable DEA model. Stochastic DEA allows the inputs or outputs to be stochastic random variables. In this article, we consider combination of deterministic and stochastic inputs following Normal and/or Poisson distribution. To the best of our knowledge, variables following Poisson distribution are not yet considered in these methods. We introduce the stochastic input-oriented data envelopment analysis (SIODEA) model. The random inputs, following either normal or Poisson distributions, are controlled by chance constrained. Using functional analysis techniques, the chance constrained with Poisson variables is replaced by difference of Marcum functions evaluated at points related to the parameters of these variables. Consequently, we formulate a deterministic equivalent model with mixed random inputs. Finally, a numerical example is presented and the efficiencies of different DMUs are calculated using the obtained equivalent model to test its validity.

The Assam Agitation against alleged foreigners in Assam raised identity questions amongst the diverse ethnic groups living in the state. The Agitation showed dominance of a middle-class Assamese speaking group of people. The eulogy of “mother Assam” brought a short-lived sense of unity amongst the people. The demand for Udayachal during the Agitation and Bodoland afterwards shows growing ethnic boundaries in the region. This paper is an attempt to find the roots of ethnicity based autonomy demands in the Assam Agitation. The Agitation, irrespective of the validity of its aspirations, reflected unparalleled unity of people. It also showed an ugly facet of communal clashes at the same time.

Reading ability of the learners plays a pivotal role in their academic success. Reading without comprehension affects learners’ learning outcomes. However, the development of learners’ reading ability has always been a great challenging task for language teachers. The efficacy of computer-assisted language (CALL) in improving language skills has been endorsed by many studies under different socio-cultural settings. However, in Saudi EFL context, using CALL in teaching and learning languages is still scarce and there are more for researchers to explore. The current study intended to examine the effects of Active Reading Software (ARS) on reading comprehension skills of Saudi EFL learners at tertiary level. A quasi-experimental study was carried out at Majmaah University involving 30 EFL learners, which were equally clustered into a control group and an experimental group. A four- week treatment incorporating the ARS was assigned to the experimental group, while the control group received the same learning materials in a traditional classroom setting. Data acquired from the study were evaluated using t-test. Findings revealed a substantial difference between the mean scores of the two groups in terms of reading comprehension; the experimental group outperformed the control group. These results indicate that utilizing ARS can further enhance the EFL learners’ reading comprehension skills and thus, it can be assumed that the ARS software can be a facilitative learning tool in the teaching and learning of reading.

An adjective is a part of speech that has its own significance in describing or modifying a noun or pronoun to make it specific as well as interesting. Using multiple adjectives to describe a noun, however, is confusing to ESL students as there is a certain order to be followed, which contradicts or does not even exist in their L1. At the same time, students nowadays are prone to technologies. In this era of technology advancement, the use of Google Classroom as an online tool plays an important role in education. The teaching and learning process could be enhanced as numerous features of Google are available on this blended learning platform. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the effectiveness of utilizing short videos and online games via Google Classroom in teaching the order of adjectives to the students. The participants of the study were 67 ESL students from an urban secondary school. Action research was carried out and the data was collected by the means of pre- and post-tests. It was highlighted that the results from post-tests showed an increase compared to pre-tests. The findings had proven that the integration of Google Classroom positively enhanced the teaching and learning process rather than being the conventional grammar lesson, and facilitated students to master the focused grammar rule. Therefore, Google Classroom should be seen as a viable learning tool to be implemented in ESL classrooms.

In the Sub-Saharan region, a large amount of the harvested grain is lost during storage. The inability to precisely monitor and control the internal conditions of a storage house is one of the major factors leading to this loss. Timely, relevant and accurate information regarding the internal status of the granary helps in maintaining the quality of the grains as well as in storage loss reduction. This paper presents an automation system for grain storage houses found in the Sub Saharan region. The automation system was built on the paradigm of the Wireless Sensor Network, where spatially distributed sensor nodes seamlessly communicate with a Linux based Raspberry Pi computer. The communication between them is achieved through a lightweight and reliable machine-to-machine communication protocol. Each node is equipped with sensors for monitoring the climatic and environmental conditions of the grain storage house. Based on the incoming data from the sensors the system executes a number of tasks to help the grains to be safely stored for a long period of time – with minimum losses. Additionally, an easily accessible and secure web interface has been developed allowing the owner to graphically visualize the status of store, in real-time.

Now a day’s energy is being wasted a lot and it cannot be reduced in many cases. Conventional components are replacing by solar-based components. Lights on highways will work for a period of 12 hours a day i.e. evening to the next day morning. It is aware that many of the highways, communities and developed areas are going with solar-based Highway lights which are a one-time investment. Even though solar-based Highway lights are used, in some or the other way energy is getting wasted because lights are required only when vehicles are going on the highways and rest of the time it is not required. In addition to it, solar energy is not available at night times, but lights need power only at night times. Sometimes light is required at a particular time and the rest of the time it is wasted. Based on these factors modifications should be done for Highway lights to save energy smartly. So, it is suggested to install, “A Smart Highway Lighting System” only for Highway lights, because it is identified that much of the energy is wasted on Highway lights. These Highway lights are basically required at night time but when the road is empty lights can be turned off. Considering all the aspects some data have been collected and calculated the data based on slab rates.So, with the help raspberry pi the status of Highway lights can be operated, in this way much amount of energy can be saved. They can be controlled with the help of Proximity sensor, LDR, Current sensor, Relay in addition to the raspberry pi. So, by using these sensors motion of any vehicle passing through can be detected and using LDR lights can be turned on. Real-time operation of Highway lights can be monitored through server client program. And by collecting all these data the results can be compared before and after implementing the prototype “Smart Highway Lighting System”.

The Danube River is the only inland waterway in the Republic of Bulgaria. The Bulgarian section of the river is located in its lower reaches. The river is included in the general network of European inland waterways as a trans-European transport corridor VII. The Rhine-Main-Danube channel connects Western and Eastern Europe providing excellent opportunities for direct navigational links between the Black Sea and the North Sea. It is a convenient waterway to many European countries and their industrial centers. Due to the specific nature of the river, there are various hazards to navigation on it, such as sediment, sills and ice drift. Predicting the formation of sediment is difficult as it depends on many factors. The areas and boundaries of the sills are well known and the Executive Agency for Exploration and Maintenance of the Danube (EAEMD) takes measures to ensure their safety. Ice drift is another major hazard to navigation on the river. The article analyzes the hydro-meteorological information about the Bulgarian section of the Danube River for a period of 20 years. The interdependencies of hydro-meteorological data with respect to the prerequisites for ice formation and ice drift on the river are researched. On this basis, a methodology has been proposed to determine the probability of ice drift in the Bulgarian section of the river.

Mostly individuals or people inside a car switch on the air conditioner (AC) to refresh or for resting when they felt tired. Few will use for sleeping when the engine is idle, tragically after a certain period of time the oxygen substance present interior the car will gets diminished. After that they will be persistently breathing the carbon dioxide which would be breathed out by them. So, after a certain time, since the car could be a constrained space settlement it will raise the chance of reduction in oxygen supply that's required to breathe or it will lead to suffocation and eventually passing, mostly lead to death. A solution is given to this issue with the assistance of an MQ 135 sensor that can be introduced interior to the car which can sense the sum of poisonous substance in the car regularly. If the carbon dioxide (CO2) level within the car isn't up to the set point (i.e. underneath the required level), it will take the control activity by sending a flag to the controller. Based on the flag the controller gives control activity to the D.C. engine that's coupled with rack and pinion which is commonly utilized in opening and closing of the windows in automobiles. When the poisonous level within the car is disposed of at that point the engine will invert its direction (i.e. window will be closed). By this means, the gas level within the car will be monitored and it will be made to preserve the required level of oxygen by the implies of this whole setup/system.

The reduction of NOx emissions is a main goal of the Clean Air Act Amendments because of their known role in the formation of ground-level ozone. NOx is a generic term for the nitrogen oxides that are most relevant for air pollution, namely nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These gases contribute to the formation of smog and acid rain, as well as affecting tropospheric ozone. NOx gases are usually produced from the reaction among nitrogen and oxygen during combustion of fuels, such as hydrocarbons, in air; especially at high temperatures, such as occur in car engines. The facility that can reduce NOx emissions from the combustion equipment, is using Pressure swing adsorption. Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is a technology used to separate some gas species from a mixture of gases under pressure according to the species molecular characteristics and affinity for an adsorbent material. Specific adsorbent materials (e.g., zeolites, activated carbon, molecular sieves, etc.) are used as a trap, preferentially adsorbing the target gas species at high pressure. The air from the atmosphere is sent to the compressor and the air is compressed to 6 bar (approx.). the compressed air from the compressor is sent to the two reaction chambers where the two chambers are connected in parallel which works alternatively (when adsorption takes place in first chamber the desorption takes place in another chamber and vice versa). The connection between the two chambers is controlled by using valve. The nitrogen in the compressed air is adsorbed by the 13x zeolite and the remaining air from the reaction chamber is sent to the buffer tank where the air is stored for the continuous input to the engine, for maintaining constant pressure and to compensate the fluctuation in mass flow rate. A part of air is sent to the oxygen analyzer to know the amount of oxygen rich air which is sent to the engine. By using this method, the NOx emission from exhaust is reduced and the performance is increased significantly.

The production of chromium-based coatings in vacuum by magnetron sputtering refers to environmentally friendly technologies. The technological capabilities of a magnetron sputtering vacuum system are considered. It was proposed to pre-treat the surface of the substrate with argon ions before applying the chrome plating. For this purpose, a designed ion source and a magnetron sputtering device for the chromium cathode are located in the chamber. Chromium-based nanostructured coatings formed by magnetron sputtering with preliminary treatment of the surface with an ion source are investigated. The thickness, adhesion strength and corrosion resistance of chromium coatings were determined. It was shown that the chemical resistance of samples with chromium-based coatings in solutions of nitric and hydrofluoric acid showed their high corrosion resistance. The effect of the thickness of the chromium-based nanostructured coating on the corrosion resistance is investigated. With an increase in coating thickness, the corrosion resistance of chromium coatings changes several times. For coatings less than 1 micron thick, the number of corrosion points (pores in the coating) was 5-10 times larger than for coatings 2.3-2.5 microns thick. Using electron microscopy, the surface morphology and the size of nanoparticles in the structure of chromium coatings were investigated. It was revealed that, depending on the formation modes, the coatings consist of crystallites with sizes from 45 nm to 200 nm.

In the outline of statistical pattern recognition, feature selection is an vital step aim to dig out the most significant inequitable in order for classification and accumulate it succinctly into a pattern vector of a lower dimensionality. The impetus for applying feature selection is assorted. At first place, features can be expensive to obtain. The cost includes quantity attainment, data preprocessing, storage and transfer, reasons behind computation, etc. Furthermore, high-dimensional problems should more samples for training to accomplish a good overview potential of a classifier (i.e., the curse of dimensionality). Reduced dimensionality of the pattern vector can also help to gain enhanced perceptive of a given problem in applications like medicine or genetic engineering. The main goal of this paper is to design a classifier independent (filter-based) feature selection method that would allow the merit of individual features to be assessed from one-dimensional projections of the data. However, we have encountered several other problems during our research which had to be addressed first.

The shipping industry has gone through some extraordinary negative changes during the last 10 years. A drastic decline in freight and time charter rates have become apparent after the global financial crisis (GFC). A serious fall in fuel prices in 2014 thana significant price rise in 2017 has played havoc with many shipping companies as they presently struggle to cover their costs. The market, unfortunately, didn’t respondto the increase in fuel prices as anticipated and has not matched the increasesproportionallywith demand forfreight. The author analysed the effect of the GFC on the chemical tanker industry and its players. The results demonstrate that in time of such crises, chartering demand decreases considerably and the players often decide to restructure and frequently downsize, resulting in only the very competitive corporate players remaining in the chemical tanker marketplace andto mitigate debtspeculators generallysell their shares in these companies. However, resilient industries have proven to be those that turn financial crises into a business opportunity. The old adage of “Buy Low Sell High” couldn’t be more suited to the situation with the present chemical tanker industry. The author claims that in keeping with almost all historical financial cycles, the chemical tankers are also prone to peaks and troughs. As such the present might be the perfect time for investing in inexpensive second-hand ships or perhaps engaging vessels on time charter, or even purchasing shipping company stocks/shares for viable long term returns whileturning a collapsing industry into a more sustainable one.

This article presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies on optimizing the parameters of a tubular spillway with energy absorbers for a water flow. The results show that the energy quenching obtained on average does not exceed the corresponding indicator for diffusers of other designs. The advantage of the installation of the type described is that, firstly, it provides sufficient damping of the flow energy, and secondly, the proposed solution for optimizing a diffuser with a small angle of attack can ensure flow continuity on its surface. Due to this, the level of turbulence of the flow after passing through the diffuser is lower than that of diffusers of other structures installed in spillway structures.

Peanuts are not only a highly nutritious nut but also play a crucial role in Vietnam's processing and exporting industry. This is a reason why there have been a wide range of machines built to support farmers in peanut production lines. Especially, in a peanut shell peeling stage, which is also a labor-intensive process and the most time-consuming in the production of peanuts. Nevertheless, the price of these devices is high and their productivity is quite large, which are unsuitable for the current conditions and production capabilities of Vietnamese farmers. Researching, designing and improving the peanut shell peeling machine with a portable size, acceptable productivity, easy assembly and replace parts, are absolutely necessary. Additionally, the aim of a research also ensures food hygiene along with environmental safety. The operation of the machine bases on the principle of two rollers. One is a rotating roller and the other is fixed. The friction created between peanuts and rollers that break the bridge of the hard shells. Afterwards, peanuts and shells would be sorted by fan blowing. Ultimately fine peanuts are brought to vibrate and classify. Through doing experiments, the machine has the highest productivity when the roller rotates with a number of revolutions of 317 rpm and a gap of two rollers is 12 mm. When these parameters are satisfied, the productivity attainted is 100 kg / hour and the scrap rate is less than 25 %.

Data communication in underwater channel is most challenge task for an ocean researchers. The channel gives least error rate compared to space communication due to the various factors like high attenuation, heavy multipath propagation and dependence of low frequency signal. This limits the low bandwidth and short range communication. To overcome this, structure of the convolution encoder needs to be analyzed thoroughly for better error rate control for an underwater channel. In this paper structure property of convolution encoder with the code rate of ½ is analyzed. It is evident from the analysis that polynomial with least hamming distance and less code weight gives better efficiency than other polynomial.

Visual cryptography takes an approach to ensure proper protection of transmitted images by allowing the creation of a finite number of share images from a secret image using some mathematical model. The main challenging task in any visual cryptography is to create N shares that are dissimilar from the actual secret image. No information regarding the secret image must be revealed in these shares. In this paper, we propose a new visual cryptographic technique using AES and a modified (k, N) share generation algorithm. The AES is used to encrypt the image to provide high security to the input secret image. Modified (k, N) share generation technique is applied to this encrypted image to generate shares specified by the k and N values. The generated shares by the proposed technique have a granular appearance hiding the information from the observer but with proper decryption procedure and proper key, this algorithm is able to recreate the original secret image whose PSNR is high. The results show that the proposed algorithm is better in various aspects compared to the existing techniques.

Teaching materials are very important to support student learning, address diverse learning style, and get the desired learning outcome. Hence, do we really need teaching materials in teaching English Literature? and why? English literature lesson can be lackluster, especially when the lesson conducted is more to teacher-centered while students only sitting to listen and receive knowledge conveyed by the teacher. The conventional practice of teaching literature should be transformed from boring rote learning towards stimulating literature lesson. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of using GBL-Diorama as a tool to help students gain understanding towards the literature components such as drama, novels, poems, or short story being taught in the class and increase their interest in learning literature. A pretest and posttest were given to 25 Form 1 students of secondary school in Kulai to find out the effectiveness of this innovative tool. The mean achieved for the pretest is 13.13 while for the post test is 17.11. In conclusion, the study was found to improve students’ performance in Literature taught and promoting meaningful learning. Thus, it is recommended for teachers to utilize GBL-Diorama in ESL classroom to teach English Literature as it does not only impart interesting learning for students but also help them to be an active participant during the lesson.

Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) wire cut machining is widely used due to its accurate cutting and clean cutting. The machine is used in tool and die and hole making. Common issue with the EDM wire cut machining is the presence of heat affected zone and “white area”, which can influence the surface integrity of the work piece and can propagate cracks, making the work piece more susceptible to failure. By using heat treatment, the work piece can improve its mechanical properties, allowing to last longer without failure. In this experiment, aluminum alloy 6063 will be machined by using EDM wire cut. The finished specimen is then treated with different heat treatment as per suggested by the journals. After heat treatment, the specimen is then will undergo tensile testing and hardness test.

The present scenario of software development life-cycle has switched into a distributed environment because of the development of network technology and ever increased demand of sharing the resources to optimize the cost. In the software reliability engineering literature, few attempts have been made to model the fault testing and debugging process in a distributed development environment. One of the reasons can be attributed to the complexity involved in developing large-scale distributed systems. As a result, their testing and debugging process is influenced by many internal and external factors, all of which may not be deterministic in nature. Since reliability is the only measure of software quality, a software reliability model is needed to estimate the current reliability level and the time and resources required to achieve the objective reliability level. As the area of software fault-debugging in distributed development environment is not thoroughly investigated in current literature, even though it is estimated to have been one of the most expensive endeavor in the industry. This objective dictates developing a non-homogenous Poisson Process based testing-effort dependent software-reliability modelling approach for distributed-systems developed under imperfect-debugging environment. The resultant integrated modelling approach describes the relationship among the calendar time, the testing-effort consumption, and fault- correction/debugging process under imperfect-debugging environment. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that this kind of integration modelling approach has been carried out for distributed systems. Fault-debugging process and testing-effort expenditures are described by a non-homogenous Poisson process and testing-effort curve functions respectively. Such a type of integrated modelling approach is very much suited also for object-oriented software development. Actual software reliability data cited in literature have been employed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed integrated modelling approach. The results are fairly encouraging when compared with other existing approaches developed under similar environment.

Media recognized as the basis of generating conflict situations in politics. The sources of media including radio, newspapers, and television can discourage and depress political violence. The news by the media sources resembles with megaphone speech and the information spread all around the world. For example, the news on the radio had a vital role which provides publicity to the nationalist of anti-Serbian parties in Croatia or a group of Nazis in Germany. However, the linkage between the media coverage and terrorism has not been noticed whereas many commentators suggested this point of view earlier. The mutual relationship between the media and terrorism has been studied by many scholars. It has been observed that media publicity consolidates the terrorism foundation. Nowadays, technological advancements in the media enable the effective method to spread the faith, recruit fighters, and intimidate enemies.

Refugees are the victims of circumstances. Nobody ever wants to leave his own soil unless is compelled to do so for saving his own as well as those of his near and dear ones’ lives. It is never easy to move to another country and seek asylum there as refugees. Even after grant of asylum, one will not be able to live up to his fullest as a human being endowed with all rights unlike the citizens of the asylum provider country. It is quite obvious as the status of the person as a refugee will be guided as per the internal legislations of that country along with the International Conventions, if the country is a signatory to the later. The protection of Refugees remains a major concern for all the countries throughout the globe for quite a considerable period of time even after the framing of the rules in the 1951 Convention and its Optional Protocol in 1967 on the Status of Refugees. Migration of people in ancient times in search of food, shelter and other necessary requirements is completely different from today’s refugee problems as the later escapes a country not because of lack of basic necessities but because of threat to life owing to persecution basing upon race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group as defined in the1951 Convention. Countries who are parties to the1951 Convention and its 1967 Optional Protocol have incorporated this definition of refugees in their internal laws also dealing with the matter. But there are large number of countries in the Asian sub- continent who become home to huge number of refugees even not being parties to the1951 Convention and its 1967 Optional Protocol. In this regard the stand of India in protecting the interests of the refugees coming from almost all neighboring countries is really praiseworthy. India is neither a signatory to the International Convention on the Status of Refugees, 1951 and its Optional Protocol on the Status of Refugees, 1967 nor does it have any national legislation on the point, still its liberal policy have made it a natural destination for the Refugees fleeing due to persecution and threat to lives in their own countries. India goes on with accepting them regardless of being comprised of its own over- a- billion population with no less than six hundred million people still living the poverty line being deprived of basic amenities. This humanitarian approach of India, however, puts it into a very sensitive position as threat of infiltration of terrorists in the name of refugees always remains there and the country has already experienced several such attacks time and again. The geographical position of the country also places it in a vulnerable condition for infiltration of refugees through its borders.

This paper endeavour to construct a model for the exchange rate taking into consideration the monetary model that comprise factors which are utilised by the RBI for intervention. The relationship between exchange rate and foreign exchange reserve, interest rate, current account deficit and money supply in India is analysed covering the period 2009-2019. Autoregressive Distribution Lag (ARDL) is employed to analyse the long run association among the exchange rate and its macroeconomic variables and Error Correction Model (ECM) is employed to determine short run dynamics with respect to exchange rate and its explanatory variables. The empirical analysis proved that foreign exchange reserve, money supply and interest rate have a significant influence on exchange rate in India while current account deficit have a non- significant influence on exchange rate. On the basis of this result, suggestion has been made that RBI should intervene in foreign exchange market to counteract the outflow and bring stability in the market by injecting dollars. Future researchers should try to cover longer duration of study of above 10 years with different variable like external debt, crude oil price, foreign institutional investment, gross domestic product.

Nature consists of plants, animals, human beings, minerals and several other physical and chemical factors, which all interact with each other and constitute an environment. This interaction was also reported by our ancestors and aboriginals and expressed in the form of a bunch of information called Ethnobiology. This bunch has various therapeutical and non- therapeutical approaches based on believes, culture and surroundings. Among therapeutical approach there is large description about use of plant recipes, but there are certain plant by- products, animal parts and minerals also which are used singly or in combination with plant products or some additives by the villagers of Gwalior region to treat their cattle. In the present paper, an effort is made to document such non- herbal ethnobiological formulations which can be used as curative purpose for cattle.

: The level of groundwater is the amount of water found beneath the surface of Earth in soil pore spaces and rock formations fractures. One of the important factors affecting the growth of the national economy and society is the ongoing decrease in groundwater rates. The prediction of variations in groundwater level (GWL) is very significant in the management of water resources. Groundwater level has unpredictable characteristics due to natural and anthropogenic factors influences. Water below the land surface appears in two zones - saturated and the unsaturated zone. When rainfall occurs, a part of it infiltrates into the ground. Some amount of this infiltrated rain is held up by the upper layer of soil in its pore spaces

This paper deals with a 2-state repairable system with two kinds of failures. In this mathematical model we deal with different state probabilities which have been evaluated using Laplace transform. Here we have considered a cold standby system involving two units- one unit is in operating condition /state and other unit in standby state. These two units are connected through an imperfect switching mechanism. We can say that on failure of operating unit, the system may fail completely either due to failure of software or due to human error. All failures are repairable. In the end, some numerical illustrations are given to explain the behaviour of reliability, M.T.S.F and of the two parameters involved in cost analysis procedure.

In the current study, the characterization and beneficiation studies of low grade iron rich manganese ores of Sandur area, India were carried out to propose a flow sheet for typical low-grade manganese ores. For this aim, different gravity separation methods were applied. According to the mineralogical analysis, the major mineral phases are pyrolusite (MnO2) and psilomelane (MnO2) while the major gangue mineral is hematite and limonite Gravity separation tests were accomplished by using jigs, in order to obtain products with high Mn ratio, high intensity magnetic separation was also performed after the reduction roasting. As a result, flow sheet is proposed based on the laboratory studies to obtain a concentrate 40.2% Mn, 20.1% Fe, 6.24% acid insoluble, 0.85% LOI and Mn/Fe ratio >2 could be obtained with Overall % Mn distribution of 63.3 at overall wt.% yield of 49% meeting the local and ferromanganese and steel industry specifications and may be used after sintering..

In this paper, channel modeling for velocity control of electromagnetic (EM) waves in water medium through some characteristics such as characteristics impedance of EM waves, refractive index, and electrical conductivity of sea water was analyzed and examined with help of some mathematical tools under simulation process to meet practical specifications. The main problem in underwater wireless communications is the slow speed of available acoustic communication. On the other side, acoustic communication has low data rate capability because of low frequency employment for acoustic signal. One of alternative solution to avoid this problem such as slow speed is an employment of Electromagnetic waves in water medium. The EM waves in water provide us platform of high speed and high data rate at high frequency. The main purpose of this paper was to examine the underwater EM communication network, its feasibility and applicability in underwater wireless communication (UWC). Based on observations, a channel model of EM high speed in underwater medium was designed and implemented using EM waves at high frequency. This development of speed channel model for water medium provides a high speed EM communication technology in underwater channel

Optical Maturity (OMAT) is term used in moon surface for understanding the space weathering effect on the soil of craters. Space weathering is the term used to determine which portion of the lunar soil is affected by the exposure of space weathering which causes the change in their optical properties. OMAT is also used for understanding the age of the craters. In this paper we discuss four craters is used to determine the effect of OMAT on the age of craters. It is found that if the value of OMAT is high means it is immature(Fresh Crater) and If OMAT value is low means the crater is mature craters.In this work it is found that Tycho having high average OMAT value which means this is fresh carters among all other craters.

Advancement in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have become the communication medium for virtually every small or large industry around the world. This technology changed the ways of doing businesses and has led to the invention of a new concept called Electronic Business (E-Business). E-Business involves various activities for any businesses such as ordering, transacting, customer servicing, delivering and paying. This new type of business consists of many advantages comparing with the traditional form of business, but on the other hand, it faces real challenges related to the approaches used to keep the data secure. The sharing of the sensitive data for any enterprise system requires designing a security management framework in order to enable controlling access to the sensitive information. In this paper, the last efforts of researchers proposed in security field of the E-Business systematically reviewed. Furthermore, the security approaches, techniques and security frameworks have been discussed.

Nowadays children already exposed to the new technology and experience excellent learning adventures. Many studies have found that these new and emerging technologies could help children build their discipline and self-motivation. However, the number of studies that address interaction ability and pattern formation in writing mathematical number among kindergarten children are still limited. Designing children computer applications adapted to the capabilities of children is an important part of the today software development methodology. Thus, in this study, an investigation of children aged 5 to 6 years old writing ability in mathematical numbers with and without a computer software was investigated. Total 40 children from a kindergarten in Skudai, Johor were involved in the study. In the first study, the results show that the highest frequency of mirror-writings and formation writings of each error were number letter “7” (more than 53%) and the number letter “8” (more than 32%). Moreover, in the second study, the result show that the highest frequency of drop error and drawing error for each error was number letter “5” (more than 40%) and number letter “7” (more than 30%). However, the frequency of each error is differing due to the high different variability of each number letter. This study reports on the identified children’s interaction ability in writing mathematical numbers. The implications of these findings might encourage and establishing children requirements in designing children writing mathematical educational tool and application more effectively.

Recent days, object extraction such as roads, buildings, rivers etc from remote sensing images is an active research issue in the field of remote sensing. Road extraction system plays a crucial role in many Geographic Information System (GIS) applications mainly in urban planning, traffic management etc. Therefore, it makes use of different approaches with or without human interventions to extract complete road network. With the use of human assistance, semi–automatic road extraction approach provides more accurate results than the fully automatic approach which is not practical. As a result of recently launched satellites, high resolution images are highly available in which complexity increases much in urban areas due to rapid constructions like flyovers, bridges and change in the network often and there exists shadows due to trees, vehicles, buildings etc. Unfortunately, the available methods found difficult to produce an accurate and reliable result for urban areas with many occlusion and intersections. In urban areas, road extraction yet remains a challenging task. A novel approach for the road extraction process based on semi automatic method using high resolution satellite images is proposed. The performance of the proposed method is well efficient in extracting road regions.

The feasibility of using a behavioristic model of the mechanism of economic security of foreign economic activity of enterprise is substantiated in order to determine and detail the features of the qualitative functioning of the mechanism of economic security of enterprises foreign economic activity as a part of the enterprise management system. The use of behaviorism to describe the functioning of the mechanism of economic security of foreign economic activity of enterprise has its own causal basis and its advantages. Firstly, the mechanism of economic security of foreign economic activity of enterprise is not an inherently valuable element of the enterprise management system. In simple words, the composition of the mechanism is not that valuable as its necessary reactions under various stimuli. Secondly, using just behaviorism and content analysis allows us to combine the triad “stimulus-content-response”. Thirdly, the use of behaviorism allows relatively simple, without involving deterministic analytical models, to carry out a scenario analysis of the functioning of the mechanism of economic security of foreign economic activity of enterprise and, if necessary, debug such a mechanism and ensure its adequate content with increasing complexity, variability and intensity of stimuli. This allows to use the model of the functioning of the mechanism of economic security of foreign economic activity of enterprise depending on the needs of the user and the task in prescriptive, descriptive and constructive-reflective modes. Based on the developed model of the functioning of the mechanism of economic security of foreign economic activity of enterprise and the detailed disclosure of each of the elements of such a model, an algorithm for constructing this mechanism is developed. On the basis of the model under consideration, certain elements of such a model and their content, the structure of scenarios of functioning of mechanism, the generated algorithm allows to build an mechanism of economic security of the foreign economic activity of enterprise for a particular enterprise taking into account the specific operating conditions of such an enterprise, the expected incentives from the external and internal environment of the enterprise as for mechanism functioning, its predetermined reactions and its necessary structure, which allows to provide such reactions in existing conditions.
