Embedding a Watermark in Multimedia Archives[ ]


It is usual to come across types of images on the Internet that have characteristics which correspond to their nature as a medium. So the most common formats are Tagged Image File Format TIFF (TIF), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG or JPG) and Portable Network Graphics (PNG). This article will explore the ways in which an image in a compressed or uncompressed form can be shared in a collaborative, online artwork. Obviously, sharing must be done with the aim of protecting the data from malicious attacks and at the same time ensuring the quality of the work.

Internet of Things based Pet Feeder Automation using Raspberry Pi[ ]


Household pets need special treatment and care. They need to be attended to as at when due with food, drinks, and medication. Due to busy life style of most owners, this task may not be as simple as expected. Lack of adequate attention to pets’ needs might have great consequential effects, such as starvation, ill health, among others. In view of the foregoing, this work proposes an Internet of Things based automated feeder system that uses Raspberry pi to drive its remote control, scheduling and intelligence. Its design and subsequent implementation is expected to, at least, take care of the nutritional aspects of pets by providing as either scheduled or intelligently the food, drinks and medication of pets as at when due in the absence of the owner.

STUDY OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF OPEN ENDED STEEL PILES USING PHYSICAL AND NUMERICAL MODELLING[ ]


Open-ended steel pipe piles are widely used in marine construction, coastal engineering, port, and offshore structures. The behavior of open-ended piles is complex because its response is generally intermediate between that of non-displacement and displacement piles. Meanwhile, when an open-ended pile is driven into the soil, a soil column (or soil plug) is formed inside the pile. This soil plug affects the ultimate pile capacity and end-bearing resistance.

Walkability and Connectivity of Delhi Metro stations at Peri-Urban areas[ ]


Walkability has an essential role in creating a pollution-free city. If a public transport facility is accessible and connected very well to the origins and destinations of the people, the use of public transport will tend to increase. This will result in the reduction of pollution. So, it is important to study how well public transport is connected and accessible to pedestrians. This research study is representing an analysis of the pedestrian facilities at surrounding areas within 1 km radius of metro stations (MS) located in central and peripheral Delhi.

Isolation and Identification of Petroleum Degrading Bacteria[ ]


Petroleum oils are being used drastically advanced world and at the same time cause pollution by getting entry into soil and water through spillage and other ways. Natural auto bioremediation by native bacterial population is the most effective way to get rid from such pollution. From petroleum contaminated soil some bacteria were isolated with petroleum (diesel, petrol, kerosene) as sole carbon source to detect petroleum utilizing bacteria. After biochemical identification of these bacteria Bushnell Haas agar medium was incorporated with 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% petroleum oil was used to determine the tolerance of them.
