Daylight analysis for multifunctional residential space in warm, humid climate[ ]


Daylighting is the controlled admission of direct sunlight, natural light, and diffused-skylight into a building to reduce electric lighting and saving energy. Daylighting has a unique role in human well-being. Particular emphasis is given to daylighting while designing a building when the aim is to maximise visual comfort or to reduce energy use. This paper presents a study to analyse the lighting levels of a multifunctional room in a residential space in Indian warm, humid climate. The distribution of daylight is investigated by setting up a reference grid on the room layout. The planar illumination levels (horizontal working plane) analysed in each grid with the help of a lux metre. The output is compared with the recommended values of illumination specified in Bureau of Indian Standards IS SP: 41 (S&T) 1987. The additional artificial lighting required can be further identified with reference to the values.

Radix-2 FFT Routine Derived from CORDIC Algorithm For Surface Electromyography[ ]


FFT,is one of the most important operations in modern digital signal Processing and communication systems. It is one of the most used algorithms for calculating the Discrete Fourier Transform due to its efficiency in reducing computation time. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used in a wide range of applications, such Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) principle based mobile communication. Electromyography popularly known as EMG is a medical procedure that evaluates the health condition of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. These nerve cells are known as motor neurons. Each nerve cell transmits electrical signals that cause muscles to contract and relax. EMG translates these signals into graphs or numbers, helping doctors to make a efficient diagnosis. This project is about calculating muscle fatigue using EMG. The electric signal transmitted by the muscles will have lot of noises. This project proposes an ideal FFT Core implemented using CORDIC algorithm as a solution for the same.

An initial assessment of the impact of coal mining on the Khe Cham washing plant (Vietnam)[ ]


Surface subsidence due to underground mining is a frequent problem that mine surveyors normally deal with. When some indicators like ground cracks occur, it is necessary to have a quick assessment of surface subsidence. In this case, the similar zone method proposed by D. A. Kagacovski is commonly used. By this method,the borehole data of overburden strata is used to estimate angles of movement of the subsidence trough. This article presents the result of the initial assessment of surface movement due to excavation at the Khe Cham underground mine, Quang Ninh province. With movement angles of subsidence trough estimated using stiffness coefficients of the overburden strata, it is obvious that the Khe Cham washing plant is within the dangerous deformation area due to the underground mining activities. The assessment in this study can be used to choose a reasonable solution of excavation for the safety in both underground working and surface areas.

Haematological effects of chloroquine and naphthoaquinone on Plasmodium berghei infected male mice[ ]


Increasing reports of the re-emergence of chloroquine- and naphthoquinone-susceptible malaria has rekindled interest in these drugs. Both drugs have previously been reported to cause haematological derangements similar to those usually associated with Plasmodium infec-tion. It is thus not clear if the haematological changes observed during malaria are solely due to the parasite or to treatments as well. This study was therefore conducted to investigate the effects of chloroquine and naphthoquinone on haematological indices in parasitized and non-parasitized male Swiss mice.

Exploring the Distributed Max Flow Algorithm for IoT Networks[ ]


For any kind of IoT network, we want maximum flow from source to destination. It is a classical optimization problem. In case of the static network, we can easily implement the classical max-flow algorithm. However, in the distributed environment, we can’t implement classical max-flow algorithm directly. The main challenges are any node can join or leave at any time and node mobility. To get the max-flow in the distributed network with minimum overhead, we investigate the flooding method considering the three different types of distributed network environment based on the well-known classical max-flow algorithm such as Dinic’s, Ford-Fulkerson and Edmond-Karp algorithm. However, our implementation is not restricted to any kind of particular max-flow algorithm.

Rise of Growth Centers: Current Trend in Strategic Spatial Planning[ ]


Urbanization is the current emerging problem in today’s world and metropolitan cities face the adverse outcomes of urbanisation whereby they become dominant centers of commercial and administrative units leading to crowding and congestion at an unprecedented scale. Cities are initially smaller outgrowth areas which eventually grow into new growth centers that are properly planned and segmented around big metropolitan cities to reduce the burden upon them and act as nodal points of development for other smaller settlements who earlier depended on metro cities to fulfill their basic requirements.

Automatic Calculation of Disc Foveal-Angle[ ]


Strabismus refers to a condition in which eyes are misaligned. Proper alignment of eyes is important to avoid seeing double, to experience good depth perception and to prevent developmental or learning delays and consequences of anxiety. The earlier the treatment, the better the results, it may be caused by overactive or underactive eye muscles. The position of the fovea with respect to the optic disc (OD) is used to identify whether the image is normal or abnormal ocular torsion (Extorsion or Intorsion). In this paper, a method for automatic Disc Fo-veal-Angle (DFA) calculation to detect the type of ocular torsion is proposed. First step for DFA calculation is the OD localization by using the Canny edge detector followed by a circular Hough transform. Second step is to localize the fovea, where the Wellner`s adaptive thresh-old is used followed by Canny edge detector and circular Hough transform. A set of 1250 fundus images are used from two publicly available datasets (DRIVE and MESSIDOR) in addition to a local dataset. Results show that this method is reliable and accurate for the DFA calculation and for the detection of the ocular type.

Neuropsychological Syndrome and long term effects of Exposure to Organophosphate Pesticides in Humans[ ]


Organophosphorous compounds, the anticholinesterases, produce significant morbidity and mortality in Pakistan. Neuropsychological assessment was traditionally carried out to assess the extent of impairment to a particular skill and to attempt to determine the area of the brain which may have been damaged following brain injury or neurological illness. With the advent of neuroimaging techniques, location of space-occupying lesions can now be more accurately determined through this method, so the focus has now moved on to the assessment of cognition and behaviour, including examining the effects of any brain injury or neuropathological process that a person may have experienced.
