Hybrid FSO - RF System: A Solution to Atmospheric Turbulences in Long Haul Communication[Full-Text ] Ritu Gupta, Preeti SinghDuring the past few decades the Free Space Optical (FSO) communication has done the tremendous job in Communication sector. These days it can act as a good alternative of Radio Frequency (RF). Key differences in the RF and FSO techniques has been discussed keeping in mind: implementation challenges faced by system designer, link design, different modulation schemes based on BER and received power, effects of weather conditions like fog, rain, snow on transmission performance, and wavelength ranges. Also, scintillation due to optical disorder in the atmosphere for FSO which is limiting factor has been discussed. Both the links are affected by the atmospheric conditions. For considerable increase in the availability of link both the technologies can be combined together. This paper focused on the need of hybrid FSO/RF System.

A Dual watermarking technique for images with encryption[Full-Text ] A Dual watermarking technique for images with encryptionDigital watermarking is a technology to ensure and facilitate data authentication, security and copyright protection of digital media. In this paper, we employ a dual image watermarking and cryptography to achieve the requirements of robustness and security. In this method, the first watermark is encrypted by using a secret key and embedded it into the second watermark and then the result is embedded into the cover image. As well as we take some data from the cover image and add it to the second watermark to confirm the validity of the cover file and reliability of watermark. Also, we hide the secret key into the second watermark for more safety. Finally, experimental results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Speech Enhancement in Presence of Near-end Noise by Incorporating Auditory Masking in Frequency Domain[Full-Text ] Premananda B. S., Uma B. V.In mobile devices, perceived speech signal detoriates significantly in the presence of near-end noise as it reaches directly at the listener's ears. There is an inherent need to improve the clarity and quality of the received speech signal in noisy environments by incorporating speech enhancement algorithms. This paper focuses on speech enhancement method including simultaneous masking properties of the human ear to select only audible samples of speech signals and to improve the intelligibility and quality of the speech signal. Speech enhancement algorithm is implemented by dynamically enhancing the speech signal when the near-end noise dominates. Intelligibility and quality of enhanced speech signal are measured using SII and PESQ. Experimental results show that the intelligibility and quality improvement of the speech signal with the proposed approach over the unprocessed far-end speech signal. This particular approach is far more efficient in overcoming the degradation of speech signals in noisy environments.

Solar Thermal Biomass Pyrolysis-A Review Paper[Full-Text ] Surajit Mondal, Amit Kumar Sharma, Pradeepta Kumar SahooEnvironmental, economic and strategic reasons are behind the rapid impulse in the deployment of renewable energy sources that is taking place around the world. In addition to overcoming economic and commercial barriers, meeting the ambitious objectives set by most countries in this field will require the development of novel technologies capable of maximizing the energy potential of different renewable sources at an acceptable cost. The use of solar radiation and biomass for power generation is growing rapidly, particularly in areas of the globe where these resources are plentiful, like Mediterranean countries. However, solar energy plants necessarily suffer from the intermittency of day/night cycles and also from reduced irradiation periods (winter, cloudy days, short transients). Biomass power plants have to confront the logistic problems associated with the continuous supply of very large amounts of a relatively scarce and seasonal fuel. Hybrid systems may provide the solution to these limitations, maximizing the energy potential of these resources, increasing process efficiency, providing greater security of supply and reducing overall costs. This paper focuses on the brief discussion about solar thermal, solar biomass, pyrolysis process, products and their characteristics.

Autonomous control of CAN bus to control automobile through mobile[Full-Text ] Godly K ThomasAutomotive electronics is the field which have evolved over the years. Earlier we used to have majority mechanical parts in a car but with government stressing more on the rule that companies must adhere to EURO VI (European emission standards)[1] norms it has gradually shifted towards electronics covering sections like infotainment of a car to a basic engine(fuel injector).As we go ahead with this revolution, this paper focuses on a cheap and viable way to control your car through mobile. To keep it simpler, this paper will tell you how to interface a microcontroller (ATMEGA328) with CAN [2] (Controller Area Network) bus, hence communicating with the car and performing operations (ignition ON, operations related to HVAC system).This project will provide a viable, cheap and efficient substitute to the various technologies present such as passive entry scheme, remote controlled entry (RF signal) which is costly. This method is much safer because it will use a GSM modem [3] and hence the message to operate the car is only with the user making it impossible for any other person to use it without user’s consent. It can also have a GPRS module which tells the position of the car to the user whenever the user demands to, making it a product which supplements the needs of todays technologically dominated world.

Purification and biochemical characterization of a class II ?-mannosidase from breadfruit (Artocarpus communis) seeds[Full-Text ] Amedee P. Ahi, Fankroma M. T. Kone, Assoi Y. D. Yapi, S. Dabonne and Lucien P. KouameAn ?-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.137) from breadfruit (Artocarpus communis) seeds was purified to apparent homogeneity by anion-exchange, cation-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatographies. The purified enzyme named M1A exhibited a molecular weight of 45 kDa and appears to be a monomer. The apparent KM value, pH and temperature optima of breadfruit ?-mannosidase activity determined by use of para-nitrophenyl-?-D-mannopyranoside as substrate were found to be 1.38 mM, 5.6 and 60 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at pH ranging from 4.6-5.6 and remained fully stable at 37 °C, but it lost about 85 % of its activity after 1 h at 60 °C. Mg2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+ enhanced whereas Sr2+, Ba2+, Cu2+, EDTA, TTAB, HTAB and SDS inhibited its hydrolytic activity. Most of reducing agents tested have a strong inhibitor effect on ?-mannosidase activity, except for DL-dithiothreitol. Swainsonine and 1,4-Dideoxyimino-mannitol (a class II ?-mannosidase inhibitors) were found to be potent inhibitors of breadfruit ?-mannosidase at 0.01 mM, while Kifunensine and Deoxymannojirimycin had no effect. Substrate specificity tests revealed that the enzyme exerted only ?-mannosidase activity and digested mannobiose such as Man-?-1,2-Man and Man-?-1,6-Man, but not Man-?-1,3-Man. Based on its characteristics, this enzyme is an ?-1,2-1,6-mannosidase which would belong to class II ?-mannosidases.

Finite Element Analyses of Laterally Loaded Pile Groups in Um Qaser Port[Full-Text ] Dr. Haider S. Al-Jubair, Dr.Sarmad A. AbbasThe finite element method, along with an elastoplastic constitutive model, is used to investigate the response of laterally loaded single pile and pile groups in sand. Also, a real practical problem of an on-shore container yard in Um Qaser Port-Basra province is solved. The pile and surrounding soil are modeled by three-dimensional brick elements. The pile is modeled as a deformable body with linear elastic material properties, while the soil is modeled as an elasto-plastic Mohr-Columb continuum material. The effect of pile-soil-pile interaction (group action) is investigated by studying the effect of pile spacing on the behavior of two group configurations; namely (3×1) row and (2×2) square groups. The lateral pressure distributions and the p-y curves are obtained and the p-multipliers are calculated for all piles. For the (3×1) configuration, it is found that the p-multipliers of the leading piles are greater than their counterparts of the trailing and middle piles. Their values are around one, for the leading piles for all spacing values, and nearly equal for the other two. For the (2×2) square configuration, p-multipliers are greater for the leading piles than the trailing piles up to a spacing of, approximately, five times pile diameter. They approach unity at a spacing of six times pile diameter. The group efficiency is increased with pile spacing and approaches (100%) at a spacing of seven times pile diameter for the two group configurations.

3DOF Flight Trajectory Simulation of a Single Stage Sounding Rocket[Full-Text ] Aro Habeeb Olalekan, Osheku Charles Attah, Olaniyi Bisola, Hamed Jimoh, Ojo AtinukeIn this paper, the 3 degree of freedom (3DOF) simulation of the basic flight parameters of a single stage sounding rocket developed at the Centre for Space Transport and Propulsion is discussed. The purpose of a lauching a sounding rocket rocket at the centre is to place a payload to a particular altitude. In order to determine the accuracy of getting to a targeted altitude using a particular rocket, a model of the system has to be developed. This model reduces the time and cost of making different prototypes of the rocket. The Centre for Space Transport and Propulsion designed a 3DOF model in the Matlab and Simulink environment to simulate the flight trajectory of the rocket TMR-1A. The results obtained via simulation are compared with the real parameters obtained via the onboard data acquisition system, to determine the integrity of the model used for the study. The model showed high degree of accuracy when simulated results are compared with real experimental data. However it was observed that the integrity of the model is affected by the accuracy of the value of drag coefficient, hence future work can be focused on more accurate determination of the drag coefficient.

The Effect of Testing Temperature on the Mechanical Properties of polymerized Self-Compacting Concrete (PSCC)Mixes[Full-Text ] Najah M. Lateef Al Maimuri, Adnan M. Shihab, Kareem F. Abood, Arkan R. Abid, Muhammad Kareem AbidA laboratorial study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of the polypropylene (PP) fibers on the mechanical performance of polymerized self-compacting concrete (PSCC) mixes under the effect of different testing temperatures. Briefly the prepared specimens have been heated after accruing to the required testing temperature. PSCC mixes loss part of their mechanical performance for all cement percentage content by weight of PP fibers as heating temperature increases. Five percentages of PP; (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2)% of cement are used to polymerize the self-compacting concrete mixes (PSCC). Laboratorial results shows that the maximum compressive strength and splitting tensile strength has been occurred at PP=0.1% by weight of concrete. Whereas the maximum modulus of elasticity values are always higher with pp=0.1% by weight of cement than other percentages of PP before 67Cº but it reduces slightly after that as testing temperature rises to 80Cº. The maximum flexural strength is not occurred with PP= 0.1% by weight of cement at low testing temperature (20Cº) but it becomes approximately maximum to be equal to (5.48Mpa) at high testing temperature of (80Cº).

Multi-agent Robotic System for Surveillance[Full-Text ] Yashwant Sonawane, Nimisha MishraSurveillance meaning to “watch over” is the act of monitoring the activities in an area mainly to recognize and monitor threats and to prevent any undesirable or criminal activity. Surveillance plays a very crucial role especially in fields like that of military, where security is of utmost priority. The traditional systems used for surveillance face a number of flaws and thus our project aims at providing a more efficient and reliable solution for the purpose of surveillance. This project is aimed at designing a simple yet elegant swarm robotic system that can perform the task of surveillance at a much higher degree of reliability and robustness than that which is provided by the current systems wherein either humans are used or then not very reliable systems such as CCTV cameras. Swarm robotics is the study of robotic systems consisting of a large group of relatively small and simple robots that interact and cooperate with each other in order to jointly solve tasks that are outside their own individual capabilities. Swarm robotic system will work in a distributed fashion so as to cover the entire intended area efficiently. The system would have decentralized communication and thus it would be very difficult to break down the system and thus providing very high reliability.
