Radiation of Linear Waves for a Heaving Rectangular Box in Shallow Waters[ ]


A rigid rectangular box is studied in three-dimensions for finite water depth. The series form of the Green’s function is utilized in the determination of added mass and damping due to a rectangular box. The series form used is preferred to the integral form as it eliminates the singularity of the integrand at the source and converges uniformly throughout the fluid domain. The results obtained in this study were compared with those obtained by using the Gauss Laguerre quadrature method, and there was good agreement between the two methods

DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED SOLAR POWERED LAWN MOWER[ ]


As a result of the continuous hike in the cost of gasoline and the adverse effect caused by the emission of greenhouse gases from the burnt fuel into the atmosphere, this necessitated the use of the abundant solar energy from the sun as a source of power to drive a lawn mower. A solar powered lawn mower of 0.109 m2/s field capacity was designed and developed for operational convenience. It is made of a solar panel of 75A/100W capacity which charges the battery of the mower. The solar panel is connected to a charge controller that prevents complete discharge or overcharge of the battery.

Applications of Exponential Functions in Artificial Intelligence[ ]


Exponential functions have always been useful in physics, economics, chemistry, engineering and various other domains. The first use of the exponential function was in calculating the compound interest , where “a quantity grows or decays at a particular rate proportional to its current value”. This was discovered by Jacob Bernoulli in 1683.In fact he found e^(1) or e.

Simple and Better Approach to Analysis of Plates with Large Deflection[ ]


This paper presents a new, simple and better approach to analyze thin rectangular plates with large deflection. This fit is achieved by circumventing the use of Airy's stress function. It was possible to circumvent the Airy’s stress function solving the Von-Karman strain-displacement equation in closed form. The resulting non-linear strain-deflection equations were substituted into the constative equations to obtain the non-linear stress-deflection equations.

Classification of Hyperspectral Imagery Data using Capsule Cap Network[ ]


Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is a function of dividing the class label across the pixels of the captured image using visual sensors. HSI collects and processes information from an electromagnetic microscope. The purpose is to find the capacity of each pixel in the image of the acquisition site, to identify materials. We propose a new CNN based concept on the spectral-spatial capsule networks to achieve accurate HSI classification while significantly reducing the complexity of the network design.

Development of Speed for 12-14 Years Boys[ ]


Speed is an important motor fitness component and it increases from childhood in the process of growth and development. But increase in locomotion speed with respect to age is not uniform. According to Cratty (1967) both boys and girls improve speed with age about 1ft/s per year from 06 to 11 years. Fisher (2005) reported that men increased in all aspects of speed up to 21 years, whereas women reached maximum speed at about 18 years of age.

Teaching Experience of Teachers and its Influence on the Perception of the Rights of Children in Guidance and Counseling Programme among Public Primary Schools in East Pokot Sub-County, Baringo County, Kenya[ ]


The teaching of children’s rights has been at the centre of many debates in recent years. The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Articles 29 and 42, mentions that children are entitled to be informed of their legal rights and that they should respect human rights (United Nations, 1989). It is argued that this will help them become democratically informed citizens. Children who learn about their rights tend to be more supportive of human rights issues and even volunteer in programmes that promote other people’s rights (Howe & Covell, 2010). Rights protect children from potentially harmful situations. Hence, they should be taught at all levels so that they become common knowledge. Countries are obliged to teach children about their rights, and their educational practices should be in line with the rights of the child (Covell, Howe, & McNeil, 2010).

EFFECT OF INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT ON SURFACE WATER QUALITY OF MEDCHAL LAKE HYDERABAD CITY[ ]


Water is a natural resource (lakes and rivers) which is decisive for the survival of living organisms. Due to rapidly increasing population, exponential industrialization and urbanization, etc. various water bodies, all over world are exposed to various forms of environmental degradations. This leads to aggregations of phytoplankton, macro algae and occasionally colourless heterotrophic protists can discolour the water giving rise to foam. Due to this, there is reduction in DO (Dissolved Oxygen) level which ultimately disturbs the ecological balance of the lake and finally leads to eutrophication in water bodies.
