Ontology-based intelligent multi-agent for diet food recommendation[Full-Text ] K.Prakash, R.SivakumarA healthy diet and lifestyle are the most effective approaches to prevent disease. When a person eats too much or too little on a continual basis, the risk of disease will increase. Therefore, developing healthy and balanced eating habits is essential to disease prevention. This study proposes an intelligent diet food recommendation multi-agent (IDFRMA), including a personal profile agent, a nutrition facts analysis agent, a knowledge analysis agent, a discovery agent, a fuzzy inference agent, and a semantic generation agent for healthy diet planning. The IDFRMA provides a semantic analysis of healthy diet status for people based on the preconstructed ontology by domains experts and results of fuzzy inference. With the generated semantic analysis, people can get healthy information about what they eat and make it easier to eat a balanced and healthy diet. The experimental platform has been constructed to test the performance of the IDFRMA. The results indicate that the IDFRMA can effectively work for healthy diet planning.

An Efficient Z-Source Inverter based Solar Power Generation System Fed IM Drive[Full-Text ] Sweeka Meshram, Ganga Agnihotri, Sushma GuptaThe increasing importance of fuel saving has been responsible for the revival of interest in alternative source of energy. Thus, the decentralization of power generation and increasing use of non-conventional energy sources has become essential to adopt a low cost generating system for operating in remote areas. With the renewed interest in solar power generation as an alternative energy source, the conventional Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) based Solar Power Generation System has not as much efficiency and reliability. Hence, in this paper, a most recent Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) based Solar Power Generation System for feeding static as well as dynamic load (induction motor drive) is proposed and implemented for remote and rural areas. In this topology, the conventional VSI is replaced by latest ZSI. The Z-Source inverter employs a unique impedance network coupled with inverter circuit. The ZSI have recently been proposed as an alternative power conversion concept as it has both voltage buck and boost capabilities. The developed system can provide ride through capabilities during voltage sags, reduces the line harmonics, improves power factor, increases reliability and extends output voltage range. Compared to conventional Voltage Source inverter (VSI) based Solar Power Generation System, the proposed system needs less PV cells and gives the superior performance. Simulation results are given to compare the behaviour of conventional and proposed topology and also demonstrate the new features of the improved topology.

Linga ReddyUltrasonic velocity (v), density (?), viscosity (?) for binary mixtures of Aniline with Methyl Acetate,Ethyl Acetate,Amyl Acetate have been measured at room temperature of about 300.15K over entire volume component percentage range. The Ultrasonic velocity (v) is measured with ultrasonic Pulse Echo Overlap (PEO) technique at a frequency of 2 MHz. The density (?) measurements have been carried out by 10ml specific gravity bottle. The Viscosity (?) measurements have been carried out by using Cannon-Fenske Viscometer with an accuracy of ±0.3%. Attenuation Coefficient (a) is measured using a cathode ray Oscilloscope (CRO) for a transmitted pulse and nth echo. Relaxation time (t), Absorptivity (A) was computed using measured data of ultrasonic velocity, density, viscosity. Data of ultrasonic velocity (v), attenuation Coefficient (a), density (?) and viscosity (?) are useful in evaluating some useful thermodynamic properties like adiabatic compressibility (ßs), internal pressure (pi), free volume (Vf) which can be utilized as a qualitative guide to predict the extent of complex formation in binary liquid mixtures. In Chemical industry, there exists a continuing need for reliable thermodynamic data of binary mixtures. This is particularly true for systems involved in industrial process with their objectives in mind, an attempt has been made to investigate the variations of ultrasonic velocity (v), attenuation Coefficient (a), density (?) and viscosity (?) in Aniline and Esters as a function of concentration and temperature. These systems have a scope for compellation through hydrogen bonding.

Effect of Various Operating Parameters on Movement of Particle Contamination in Gas Insulated Substations [Full-Text ] N.Swarna Latha, J. AmarnathMetal encapsulated with compressed SF6 gas insulation has reduced the size of power substations and improved their reliability over con-ventional air insulated substations.Compressed Gas Insulated Substations (GIS) consist basically of a conductor supported on insulators inside an enclosure which is filled with sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6). The voltages withstand capability of SF6 busduct is strongly dependent on field perturbations such as those caused by conductor surface imperfections and by conducting particle contaminants. The contaminants can be produced by abrasion between components during assembly or operations. The particles can be lifted by the electric field and migrate to the conductor or insulators where they initiate breakdown at voltages significantly below the insulation characteristics of the SF6 gas. In the present work, simulation has been carried out for particle movement by using the equation of particle motion in an electric field. The effect of various parameters like radii and length of particles, co-efficient of restitution, pressure in the busduct, applied voltage and inner conductor radii has been examined and presented. Different metallic contamination viz Cu, Al and Ag have been considered for the above study.

Application of ant colony optimization for Multicasting in MANET[Full-Text ] Deepender Dhull, Swati KamraThe advent of ubiquitous computing and the proliferation of portable computing devices have raised the importance of mobile and wireless networking. at the same time ,the popularity of group-oriented computing has grown tremendously .However, little has been accomplished to-date in bringing together the technologies for group-oriented communication and mobile networking. In particular, most modern wireless/mobile and ad hoc networks do not provide support for multicast communication. A major challenge lies in adapting multicast communication to environments where mobility is unlimited and outages/failures are frequent. Ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is a novel population-based meta-heuristic search Algorithm for solving difficult discrete optimization problems, inspired by the foraging behavior of real ant colonies .it has been applied to TSP, QAP, Scheduling and graph coloring etc. In this paper we develop an efficient heuristic ant colony algorithm for multicast routing; this algorithm can find optimal solution quickly and has a good scalability.

Whether a Soyuz Spacecraft really needs a parachute or is there an alternative?[Full-Text ] Pratham M AlagThis paper presents an alternative to the parachute braking system in use presently in the Soyuz Capsule Reentry Module. Possibilities including the addition of a heat resistant nose cone as well as propellants and rocket engines have been discussed. A model hydro-rocket was used to conduct all experiments observed. The approximate force required to bring the module to a halt is found and balanced. The parachute while effective is not fail-safe and thus the addition of a rocket engine is found to be not only perfectly stable, but also essential for increased safety as well as additional braking force necessary to reduce acceleration of the module from the time it enters the earth's atmosphere to its final landing moment.

Distributed Algorithm for Energy Efficient Multicasting in Wireless Adhoc Networks[Full-Text ] Abhishek Pandey, Rakesh Singh, Abhishek SrivastavaOn wireless computer networks, ad-hoc mode is a method for wireless devices to directly communicate with each other. Operating in ad-hoc mode allows all wireless devices within range of each other to discover and communicate in peer-to-peer fashion without involving central access points(including those built in to broadband wireless routers). An ad-hoc network tends to feature a small group of devices all in very close proximity to each other. Performance suffers as the number of devices grows, and a large ad-hoc network quickly becomes difficult to manage. Nevertheless, as electronic devices are getting smaller, cheaper, and more powerful, the mobile market is rapidly growing and, as a consequence, the need of seamlessly internetworking people and devices becomes mandatory. The problem area is availability of limited energy at nodes of a wireless ad hoc network (WANET) has an impact on the design of multicast protocols. For example, the set of network links and their capacities in WANETs are not pre-determined but depends on factors such as distance between nodes, transmission power, hardware implementation and environmental noise. This survey paper presents an overview of issues related to energy efficiency in distributed network and any further possibilities of improvement.

Social Networks' Interaction and Social Web Services[Full-Text ] Mrs. Sumathi, Dr. Ashok KumarAt present the discovery techniques are registry-based and rely on syntactic and sometimes semantic descriptions of Web services' interfaces. Registries have several drawbacks: for instance, syntactic discovery returns results with low precision. Web services are treated as independent elements in these registries and present registries don't record services' past interactions. To address these issues, this paper embrace social networks to record past interactions and to develop that refer to here as social Web services. This requires first building and maintaining Web services' social networks and then using them to find, for example, highly collaborative peers. Service engineers often struggle to locate the relevant Web services needed to satisfy users' requests. In this paper it is also described that how service engineers can capitalize on Web services' interactions-namely, collaboration, substitution, and competition-to build social web service application for service discovery.

Motion simulation in Hip simulator: A comparative study for oval wear track using MATLAB Software and Eulerian mathematical model[Full-Text ] Jyotsna A. Kulkarni, Anant Kulkarni, D.M.Kulkarni Mrinmay KulkarniMulti-directional Motor Planning forms a crucial part in today's biomedical and robotics applications. In context to biomedical applications, the concept of multi-directional motor planning is utilized to realize Hip Joint Motion Simulation. It is only in the case of Multi-Directional Motion that the wear produced during Hip Joint Motion can be approximated to the real wear produced in the human body, and that the whole object of designing Hip Joint Simulators is to assess the wear rates produced in the motion which has significant impact on the human body and its functioning. In context of robotics applications, multi-directional motor planning is crucial in obtaining a we functioning robotic arm / robotic hip joint, so that the robot designed has good functionality. Once the models have been studied, to obtain multi-directional motor planning, it is needed to plot Lissajous Patterns in 3 dimensions. These patterns are the slide tracks generated by the head of the hip joint on the cup and vice versa. In this project, various contemporary Hip Joint Motion Simulators will be studied. The ones which show closest real life motion and real life wear rate will be chosen, their mathematical models will be implemented in MATLAB and their motion thereby simulated and plotted. Once done so, the Lissajous Patterns associated with the slide tracks will be studied and the same be plotted in MATLAB. Research till date says that wear tracks-(similar to Lissajous patterns) can be represented by mathematical modeling such as the Euler Model. Using these formulae, researchers designed multi-directional motor in hip simulators (an instrument) and it is proven that same wear tracks can be reproduced. Most of the research papers state this fact but none show simulated results using MATLAB.

The devices are capable with several integrated wired and wireless interfaces. In such heterogeneous networks, vertical handover (VHO) is a critical challenge to achieve always best connectivity (ABC) services. In order to address this issue IEEE has proposed a new standard: 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH). The goal of the IEEE 802.21 standard is to develop a specification that provides link layer intelligence and other related network information to upper layers to optimize handovers between heterogeneous media. It provides the necessary functionality by exchanging network information that helps Mobile Nodes to connect to the best network among available network. The core entity of the standard is the Media Independent Handover Function (MIHF) which provides abstract services to higher layers through a uni?ed interface. The MIH framework cannot be a standalone solution for executing handovers, and needs to be used with a higher layer mobility protocol. In this paper a study on architectural details of MIH and survey on few vertical handoff algorithm based MIH are discussed.

Effective Fish Smoking Kiln for Developing Country[Full-Text ] Olayemi Foline Folorunsho, Raji Abdulganiyu Olayinka, Oyelese, O. A, Oyewole Shuaeeb Niyi, Omodara Michael AyodeleAn effective fish smoking kiln powered with sawdust (to generate the smoke) and charcoal which provides the heat for drying incorporated with three axial fans powered by 15 volt D.C. battery was developed. The kiln was constructed of local materials for cost effectiveness and ease of reproducibility by local farmers. It was evaluated using catfish. The kiln was able to attain the remcommended drying conditions of 70 0C for 3 hours. The heat distributions within the drying chamber were fairly uniform which led to uniform drying of the fish. The kiln was able to reduce a total weight of fresh catfish of 19.284 kg to 5.076 kg after 9 hours 30 minutes with an operating cost of N 550. The provision of the chimney and the close operation of the kiln eliminate smoke inhaling, and burns usually experienced by the operator. The kiln also prevents soot deposition or charring of the smoked fish during smoking. The proximate analysis of the smoke-dried catfish was conducted and the results proved the suitability and effectiveness of the smoking kiln for use among fish handlers and processors in developing countries due to good nutritional quality recorded.

CM-Based Blind Equalization for Time-Varying MIMO-FIR Channels with Single Pulsation [Full-Text ] G.RekhaThe constant modulus (CM) property of source signal can be mostly utilized to equalize the single- input multiple-output and finite impulse response (FIR) channels. In existing, the channels are blindly equalized and the equalization methods are based on higher order statistics that estimates all non-zero channel pulsation under time-invariance assumption. However, the assumption cannot be satisfied time varying multiple input multiple output (MIMO) applications ex. Mobile communication. In this paper, the proposed algorithm which extends the CM criterion to blind equalization using complex exponential basic expansion model (CE-BEM) and the channel is assumed as time varying MIMO-FIR. The method only employ the Second order statistics (SOS) and finally, it estimates only one pulsation. In this way, the system increases the SNR of the transmitted symbols and yield most beneficial result in time-varying channels. The fast convergence is also achieved through zero forcing equalization.

Hybrid Collage CAPTCHA[Full-Text ] Divya Shanker, Prashant Gupta, Aditya JaiswalAuthentication is indeed at the heart of any secure system. CAPTCHAs, a class of HIPs tests, are a program that tells whether user is a human or a computer. CAPTCHAs currently in use have been broken. Thus, there is a need to employ stronger CAPTCHAs to keep these breaking attacks at bay while retaining ease of implementation on websites and ease of use for humans. One of the CAPTCHA methods is Collage CAPTCHA. It is a method for distinction between human and computer programs through recognition and finding a picture of an object among some objects. In this project we improve the resistance of Collage CAPTCHA method by an improved method called Hybrid Collage CAPTCHA. In this method we display images on left and right side of the screen. On left side screen we have a image. On right side screen we have the corresponding images along with different names in distorted form. Now the computer program asks user to choose the picture with correct name. If the user select correctly, then user is allowed to enter the name of the image in the given text box. If entered name is correct, then we guess that user is human.

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Multistoried RC framed buildings with Shear wall[Full-Text ] Shaik Kamal Mohammed Azam, Vinod HosurThe dual structural system consisting of special moment resisting frame (SMRF) and concrete shear wall has better seismic performance due to improved lateral stiffness and lateral strength. A well designed system of shear walls in a building frame improves its seismic performance significantly. The configurations of RC moment resisting framed building structure with different arrangements of shear walls are considered for evaluation of seismic performance, so as to arrive at the suitable arrangement of shear wall in the structural framing system for better seismic resistance. A comparison of structural behaviour in terms of strength, stiffness and damping characteristics is done by arranging shear walls at different locations/configurations in the structural framing system. The elastic (response spectrum analysis) as well as in-elastic (nonlinear static pushover analysis) analyses are carried out for the evaluation of seismic performance. The results of the study indicate that the provision of shear walls symmetrically in the outermost moment resisting frames of the building and preferably interconnected in mutually perpendicular directions forming a core will lead to better seismic performance.

A New Texture Segmentation Approach for Medial Images[Full-Text ] Saka.Kezia, Dr.I.Shanti Prabha, Dr.V.Vijaya KumarThe problem of segmentation is to partition an image into a set of non-overlapping regions covering the entire image. Image segmentation has found its application directly or indirectly in tasks such as object detection, object tracking and recognition, content-based image retrieval and medical image analysis. The proposed paper presents a novel approach for image segmentation problems, based on simple morphological operations. The proposed technique divides the original image segmentation problem into seven simple steps. The proposed technique takes care of noise factors, interior segments and rotationally invariant features while segmenting the image. The present approach is tested on Brodatz and Vistex textures which resulted a fine and precise segmentation.

Multicasting in MANET's Through Scalable Mobility-Aware Virtual Tree based Geographic routing protocol [Full-Text ] B. V. V. S. Prasad, M.C.A., M.Tech., (Ph.D), Dr.G.Manoj Someswar, B.Tech., M.S.(USA), M.C.A., Ph.D.Mobile ad-hoc networks became a popular subject for research in recent years, and various studies have been made to increase the performance of ad hoc networks and support more advanced mobile computing and applications. Multicasting is an useful operation that facilitates group communications in MANETs. The key problems of the existed mobile computing applications are multicast group membership management, zone construction and ef?cient forwarding of packets to all the group members over the dynamic network topology for a large group size or network size. To overcome the above problems in this paper we proposed a new Scalable Virtual structures based Geographic Multicasting (SVGM) protocol. A perfect two-tier virtual zone system and GPS information is used to maintain the multicast group membership management and virtual tree like efficient paths are used to forward the multicast data packets to all the group members in a MANET. Our simulation results demonstrate that SVGM has high packet delivery ratio, low control overhead and multicast group joining delay under all test scenarios, and is scalable to both group size and network size.

Chaos Diagram of Harmonically Excited Vibration Absorber Control Duffing's Oscillator[Full-Text ] Salau T.A.O, Ajide O.OThis study utilised positive Lyapunov exponents' criteria to develop chaos diagram on the parameters space of 4-dimensional harmonically excited vibration absorber control Duffing's Oscillator. Relevant simulations were effected by choice combination of constant step Runge-Kutta methods and Grahm Schmidt Orthogonal rules. Simulations of 4-dimensional hyper-chaotic models of modified Lorenz and Rosler were used for validation purposes. Lyapunov's spectrums were obtained at (197*301) mesh points of parameters space (µ,aa).Lyapunov's spectrum of modified Lorenz system by constant time step (NRK1) fourth order Runge-Kutta method (0.4208, 0.1650, -0.0807, -26.4603) compare correspondingly well with (0.4254, 0.1286, 0.0000, -26.5493) reported by Yuxia et al. Similarly, Lyapunov's spectrum of modified Rosler system by constant time step (NRK1) fourth order Runge-Kutta method (0.1424, 0.0051, -0.0041, -24.0831) compare correspondingly and qualitatively with (0.1287, 0.0149, -0.0056, -22.8617) reported by Marco (1996). The sum of Lyapunov exponents (-22.7237, -31.3107, -27.8797) in Rosler compare correspondingly and qualitatively with variation matrix measure-AVERT (-24.0181, -30.9462, -28.1991) respectively for fourth, fifth and modified fifth order Runge-Kutta methods. The chaos diagram results suggested preferentially higher mass ratio for effective chaos control of Duffing's Oscillator main mass. The parameters space in the region of relative lower mass ratio suffered irregular boundaries. The practical applications of this chaos diagram plot include, by instance, walking in the parameters-space of vibration absorber control Duffing's Oscillator along suitable engineering paths.

Activity Based Cost Management: An Effective Tool for Quality Performance Measurement in Manufacturing Industries [Full-Text ] Sailaja A, P C Basak, K G ViswanadhanAll industries world wide are facing intense competitions due to globalization and they are forced to adopt more flexible, integrated and highly automated methods for production in order to increase their productivity at reduced costs and with maximum customer satisfactionhe bottom of this column. This objective is to be achieved without any sacrifice in Quality, since the customer in this era is highly knowledgeable and ever demanding. Sustaining competitiveness is possible only when the processes and their associated costs are closely monitored, measured and analyzed for continual improvement. Cost of Quality (COQ) measurement and analysis is one of the most powerful management tools for ascertaining the performance of a firm. Different COQ models are there in practice worldwide. Since most of these COQ measurement methods are activity \ process oriented, the traditional accounting system is not fully supportive of an accurate cost calculation under these methods. Activity Based Costing is the alternative for overcoming the drawbacks of traditional cost accounting system. COQ approaches, integrated to ABC can be utilized as an effective tool for measurement of quality costs. This paper presents an application of Activity Based Cost Management of Cost of Quality in a manufacturing industry and compares the results with the traditional P-A-F model. The results highlight the weak points of traditional Cost of Quality model.

Enhanced Position Updation In Manet Using Self Adaption[Full-Text ] Reshma P.R , S.BharathiGeographic routing has been widely hailed as the most promising approach to generally scalable wireless routing. It has been a big challenge to develop a routing protocol that can meet different application needs and optimize routing paths according to the topology changes in mobile ad hoc networks. However, there is a lack of holistic design for geographic routing to be more efficient and robust in a dynamic environment. Inaccurate local and destination position information can lead to inefficient geographic forwarding and even routing failure. The use of proactive fixed-interval beaconing to distribute local positions introduces high overhead when there is no traffic and cannot capture the topology changes under high mobility. In this work, two self-adaptive on-demand geographic routing schemes are proposed which build efficient paths based on the need of user applications and adapt to various scenarios to provide efficient and reliable routing. On-demand routing mechanism in both protocols reduces control overhead compared to the proactive schemes which are normally adopted in current geographic routing protocols. The route optimization scheme adapts the routing path according to both topology changes and actual data traffic requirements. The simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed routing protocols are more robust and outperform the existing geographic routing protocol and conventional on-demand routing protocols under various conditions including different mobilities, node densities and traffic loads. Specifically, the proposed protocols could reduce the packet delivery latency up to 80 percent as compared to GPSR at high mobility. Both routing protocols could achieve about 98 percent delivery ratios, avoid incurring unnecessary control overhead, have very low forwarding overhead and transmission delay in all test scenarios.

Object Monitoring By Prediction And Localisation Of Nodes By Using Ant Colony Optimization In Sensor Networks[Full-Text ] S.Niranchana, E.DineshWireless sensor network (WSN) consists of tiny sensor nodes with sensing, computation and wireless communication capabilities. Now days, it is finding wide applicability and increasing deployment, as it enables reliable monitoring and analysis of environment. The design of routing protocols for WSN is influenced by many challenging factors like fault tolerance, energy efficiency, scalability, latency, power consumption and network topology. Mobile Sensor Networks (MSN) is networks composed of a large number of wireless devices having sensing, processing, communication, and movement capabilities. In WSN, the coverage of the large area can be improved by the moving the sensor nodes.Coverage in a wireless sensor network can be thought of as how well the wireless sensor network is able to monitor a particular field of interest. In this paper the problem of object monitoring in Mobile Sensor Networks can be identified. The proposed system consists of estimating the position of nodes and then the estimated positions are used to predict the location of nodes. Once the object is determined, the mobile node moves to cover the particular object. If the Target cannot be defined then the set of new nodes are located and each node is assigned a position to minimize the total travelled distance. The estimation and prediction of nodes are done by Interval Theory and the Relocation of Nodes is done by using Ant Colony Optimization.ACO is the Localization of Sensor Nodes which Tracks the Targets. In this proposed paper the simulation results are compared to object monitoring methods considered for networks with static nodes.

To Detect Intrusions in Multitier Web Applications by using Double Guard Approach[Full-Text ] K.Karthika, K.SripriyadeviInternet services and applications have become an inextricable part of daily life, enabling communication and the Management of personal information from anywhere. To accommodate this increase in application and data complexity, web services have moved to a multitiered design wherein the webserver runs the application front-end logic and data are outsourced to a database or file server. In this paper, we present Double Guard, an IDS system that models the network behavior of user sessions across both the front-end webserver and the back-end database. By monitoring both web and subsequent database requests, we are able to ferret out attacks that independent IDS would not be able to identify. Furthermore, we quantify the limitations of any multitier IDS in terms of training sessions and functionality coverage. We implemented DoubleGuard using an Apache webserver with MySQL and lightweight virtualization. We then collected and processed real-world traffic over a 15-day period of system deployment in both dynamic and static web applications. Finally, using DoubleGuard, we were able to expose a wide range of attacks with 100 percent accuracy while maintaining 0 percent false positives for static web services and 0.6 percent false positives for dynamic web services.

An Electronic Payment Model For Small And Medium Enterprsises In Zimbabwe[Full-Text ] Tatenda Kavu, Taurayi Rupere, Benny M Nyambo, Gilford T HapanyengwiElectronic payment systems are proliferating in banking, retail in government and everywhere money needs to be exchanged. Electronic payment systems are the everyday technology under use, they are the relevant systems which go hand in hand with technology and they are also high in demand. All these issues enlighten a need to design and implement an electronic payment system that addresses the specific requirements for the Zimbabwean market. An effective and universal electronic payment system in Zimbabwe can solve some problems which are currently encountered in e-commerce, thus we designed a light weight electronic payment model, universal and offering better integration to banks, all merchants and Small and Medium Enterprises. It is comprised of attributes which any electronic payment system is expected to have. It has its own security features especially the offline authentication method and other security aspects which are currently in use by banks. The integrated architectural view of the model makes it a possible solution to some current problems. This model creates a pathway for an ideal full implementation of an electronic payment system. We compared our model with the existing electronic payment systems in Zimbabwe. We realized that our model compares fairly with the existing models.

Assessment of Domestic Solid Waste Generation in PortHarcourt by Separator- Receptacle Technology[Full-Text ] A. J. Akor , M.J. Ayotamuno , L.I. Aman , S.O. Enokela A manually operated domestic waste separator-receptacle designed and constructed in the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, River State University of Science and Technology PortHarcourt, Nigeria. The receptacle was administered to sixty (60) households at three (3) income/ population densities' zones in PortHarcourt in attempt to access the magnitude and quality of garbage/recyclables generated per household of six persons per day. The receptacle was found to have 24% average volume tolerance for three day collection interval without overspill. Analysis of the waste collected by this technology indicated 51.54% of garbage per household/day that can be composed for energy and manure, 48.46% of recyclable consisting of 11.45%, 12.34%, 9.47% and 15.40% for plastic, paper, glass and metal respectively. Cost involvement is low when compared with the scavenger or centralized sort plant. The centralized sort plant requires special equipment and additional man power to handle the pick-up of recyclables from the heterogeneous waste stream The source separation techniques of receptacle-separator produces high quality recyclable materials recovery. The waste stream is also homogeneous and small in volume that creates no difficulty in separation with less facility-level of recyclable removal. Decomposition of waste that causes unpleasant ordour and fly invasion are aborted. The technology appears to be economically viable because of the homogeneous nature of recyclable by source separation thereby creating opportunity for establishment of recycling industries.

A Case Study Of Amul Co-operative In India In Relation To Organizational Design And Operational Efficiency[Full-Text ] Dr. Ruchira Prasad, Dr. Rupali SatsangiOrganizational Structure can improve the working condition of an organization and a poor structure can ruin all the possibilities of openness, dynamism and decision-making. Organizational effectiveness on the other hand, is the extent to which an organization, given certain resources and means, achieves its objectives without placing undue strain on its members. Another important role is played by the technology. More an organization is able to adapt itself to the changing technology the better will be its efficiencies.

A new proposed Cache Memory cell using Josephson resistive DCI logic gate[Full-Text ] Kurapati SrinivasA new Cache memory cell has been proposed using the DCI logic gate. The principle and operation of the cell has been given. The current equation at each stage of the memory cell has been deduced. The dynamic response of the cell has been obtained by computer-simulation. The performance of our Cache memory cell has been compared with that of the IBM Cache memory cell. The cycle and access time of the proposed cell are 250ps and 210ps respectively, compared to earlier Cache memory cycle and access times, 1000ps and 650ps, respectively. Our Cache memory cycle time and access time can be further reduced since it is based on the DCI logic, which does not have much restriction on its size.

Analysis Of Ber In Interoperability Of Wi-fi (802.11a) And Wimax (802.16) Using Channel Coding[Full-Text ] Engr.Syed Humair AliThis paper studies the inter-operability performance analysis of two wireless standards WiMAX (802.16-2004) and Wi-Fi (802.11a). Extensive simulations are performed in Matlab in order to plot bit error rate (BER) against the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The basic aim of this thesis is to analyze the performance when interoperability is considered between WiMAX and Wi- Fi and to study how various channel coding schemes could be feasible in this respect. Analysis has been done by starting considering individual standards 802.11a as well as for 802.16 and then the whole system is considered. Theoretical and simulated curves are plotted for BER vs. SNR. Channel coding (Convolutional codes (for Wi-Fi) and for WiMAX (concatenated Reed Solomon-Convolutional coding (RS-CC) coding) has been applied so as to minimize the BER and to improve the system performance. Moreover, since the channel coding adds redundancy of bits for improvement of BER there is a need of more bandwidth in this regard. However, there are cases in which limited bandwidth is available so in this regard puncturing of the Convolutional codes is done and the performance can be analyzed by looking at both the simulation curves, one having 'Code Rate=1/2' and the other with 'Code Rate=2/3.'
