Application of Point to Point Method in Determining Participation Rate for Unit Linked Product with Minimum Guarantee[ ]


The investment results of unit link products with stock investment strategies produce higher returns but tend to have higher investment risk as well. To avoid the investment risk, this study discusses insurance contracts with Equity Indexed Annuity (EIA) using a point to point method that provides a minimum guaranteed interest rate by taking into account the participation rate of the insured that determines the amount of profit sharing from investment so that the insured and insurance companies both benefit considering the condition of stock price movements in Indonesia. This study shows that the higher the guaranteed interest rate given to unit link contracts, the lower the participation rate at the policy. This study also show that higher stock volatility provides a lower participation rate.

Secure Road Barrier[ ]


Secure Road Barrier is an automated speed breaker, which works on the real-time speed detection. Problem for the traveling vehicles on the roads are Speed Breakers and the installed hurdles i.e. Cat eyes and barriers. These are the most annoying things on the road disrupting the flow of traffic on the roads, which cause the damage to the vehicles and sometimes resulting in the fatal accidents. Secure road barrier will detect the speed of vehicles by using smart sensors and acts in reaction. If the speed of the vehicle is greater than the set-up speed limit the breaker will move up and if speed is less then speed limit the speed breaker will stay at its initial position which is down the road (at the road level). Our system is an Arduino based system which uses the state-of-the-art Infrared Sensors (IR. Sensor) for detecting the speed of the vehicle on the road.

Evaluation of Airport Flexible Pavement HMA Fatigue Using FAARFIELD[ ]


"Federal Aviation Administration Rigid & Flexible Iterative Layered Elastic Design (FAARFIELD)" software is considered one of the most effective software for airport pavement design. FAARFIELD considers the cumulative damage factor (CDF) in the subgrade for the design of airport pavement layers. Though the software can calculate the damage within hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer, limited work was conducted to evaluate impact of aircraft types and pavement design on the fatigue within HMA layer. This paper investigates the impact of different aircraft models on pavement thickness design, subgrade CDF and HMA CDF for different classes of subgrade. The paper identifies the cases where the design will be controlled by the subgrade damage and the cases where the design will be controlled by HMA damage.

The Cognitive Power Meter using Raspberry pi[ ]


A smart meter is one of the smart electronic devices that analyzes the usage of electrical energy and transfers the information to the electricity supplier for monitoring and billing. Smart meters measure the energy consumption regularly with various intervals. The smart meter is important component for displaying energy uses and useful for collecting information at any time. A smart meter is digital power meter with high communications capabilities - it is not actually smart. Load disaggregation is used to find which load is consuming more energy and disable the loads. A smart meter incorporating load disaggregation intelligence can be seen as going farther the traditional smart meter - called as cognitive power meter (c-meter).

Usability Evaluation Of An University Admission Portal[ ]


Lot of universities have their online presence to provide information globally about their programs. Most of them have their online admission portals (OAP), but they are not user-friendly that's why students prefer to submit the application manually. There are a lot of ways such as surveys, interviews, Card Sort, Shneiderman's Eight Golden Rules, Heuristics etc. to evaluate and enhance the usability of online admission portals (OAP) to provide the user-friendly system to students. In this research we are going to use Shneiderman's Eight Golden Rules on an online admission portal of University Of Lahore (UOL), these set of rules and guidelines will head us in the right direction and allow us to spot major usability issues.

Evaluation and Development of the Available Methods of Predicting Capacities of Driven Piles Embedded in Basra Soil[ ]


The ultimate capacities of single piles utilized in ten projects in Basra-Iraq are evaluated using: various interpretations of pile load test results; several static methods based on site investigation programs; wave equation via (GRLWEAP) and the finite element method via (PLAXIS-3D). For the well-behaved tests, it is realized that the load-settlement data can be best fitted by a hyperbola. Accordingly, Rollberg method well-harmonizes the test results and allows various interpretation methods to be applied on the extrapolated curves. It is found that, the static methods spread over a wide range of values. With a safety factor of (2.8), the allowable capacities of driven piles are estimated properly via the wave equation.

Performance Analysis of Decision Tree Algorithm C5.0 using Heavy metal contamination in agricultural soil at Coimbatore[ ]


The quality of agricultural soil is significant to human health; however soil contagion is a severe problem in India. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been found to be among the major soil contaminants in India. PAH derivatives could be more lethal but their dimensions in soils are exceptionally restricted. Human activities, such as land use change, cause brutal land dilapidation in many ecosystems around the globe with prospective impacts on soil processes. Cadmium (Cd), Lead(Pb), Copper(Cu), Zinc(Zc), Nickel(Ni) infectivity of top soil and victual crops is a everywhere ecological quandary that has resulted from unrestrained industrialization, indefensible urbanization and exhaustive agricultural practices.
