Due to the huge increase in the utilization of cloud storage in recent days, it leads to a massive growth in data traffic from application based servers to applications like smart phones, which not only influences batteries and computational capacities but as well swamp down multi-hopping strategies during data transmission. To resolve this crisis, traffic redundancy elimination (TRE) is an effectual solution, where the chunks to be transmitted will be directly fetched out from the receivers’ cache. Moreover, prevailing solutions cannot be directly applied or it is not appropriate for smart phones owing to its energy overhead ad high computation that is imposed on the applications. In order to overcome this problem, in this investigation, a novel a Predictive Acknowledgement for Eliminating Traffic (PACKET) is proposed which comprises of three significant elements. Initially, every application possess a clone in cloud that are responsible for calculating intensive tasks like detecting redundancy and parsing traffic. Secondly, consider that every cloud user has some specific applications like Facebook to be used in regular day to day life, every clones of cloud has to selectively determine the applications that are most frequently utilized and also reduce the high redundancy ratio. Thirdly, some cloud users always possess certain common applications; the proposed PACKET clusters those clones to co-operatively perform redundancy detection so as to diminish cache resource consumption in cloud. The simulation is carried out in MATLAB environment; the traces of applications are collected from online available data and are utilized for simulation purpose. Experimental outcomes demonstrates that PACKET can attain much higher hit ratio, reduced E2E delay, increased E2E throughput, energy efficiency and effectual bandwidth utilization in contrast to existing approaches. The proposed PACKET shows better and efficient trade-off than prevailing techniques.

The use of SCM's was done from the out of date Greeks who solidified volcanic powder with water driven lime to make a cementitious mortar. The Greeks passed this learning on to the Romans, who manufactured such structuring marvels as the Roman water channels and the Coliseum, which still stand today. Early SCMs contained typical, immediately open materials, for instance, volcanic red hot flotsam and jetsam. Nowadays, most strong mix contains profitable cementitious material that structures some bit of the cementitious portion. These materials are bigger part reactions from various methodology or customary materials. The noteworthy focal points of SCM is its ability to supersede certain proportion of Portland concrete and still prepared to indicate cementitious property, subsequently decreasing the cost of using Portland bond. Even more starting late, extreme air-pollution controls and rules have conveyed an abundance of present day symptoms that can be used as favorable cementitious materials, for instance, Pozzocrete, Saw buildup blazing remains, Rice husk slag, Egg shell powder, Sugarcane bagasse ash, etc. The usage of such symptoms in strong advancement not simply shields these things from being land-filled at this point moreover improves the properties of bond in the fresh and set states.

Skirt foundations have been discovered to be one of the alternatives to stacking offshore structures such as wind turbines, petroleum platforms etc. Offshore wind turbines are primarily exposed to vertical and lateral loads due to wind and present conditions. Many scientists have already carried out multiple vertical loading experiments on a circular footing and have found that this category of foundation increases bearing ability, decreases settlement and changes the behavior of load settlement. In this study, a 3D finite element analysis is carried out to evaluate how the skirt foundations are influenced by the vertical loads. The soil medium and skirt foundation were designed for analyses with varying in their aspect ratios (change in dimensions of depth, d and diameter, D) of skirt foundation and area ratio of skirt foundation. The effect of compactness of soil medium is also calculated by using various types of soil parameters. Furthermore, the current results express how the load carrying capacity of skirt foundation is varied by changing in the aspect ratios and area ratios of the skirt foundation. Also conclusions were drawn that compactness of soil medium plays a vital role in carrying vertical load.

Corrosion of steel in reinforced cement concrete is one of the major factor for deterioration of RCC structures. The corrosion of steel leads to failure or needs demolition of structures. Cathodic protection technology is well proven for corrosion protection of steel and in 2020 this technology will complete its 200 years of existence. For RCC buildings cathodic protection technology is not common due to several reasons. The lack of awareness in public about the fact that maintenance is only cosmetic repair and it does not ensure the protection of steel from corrosion. The sacrificial anode CP system is well suited for buildings since the requirement of anode material will always be less in case of buildings. To make it popular a new system of SACP is developed and it is named as Sacrificial Surface Anode Cathodic Protection (SSACP) system. The device is designed as external, it is easy in installation, replacement and monitoring. It is reliable, economical and does not damage the aesthetic appearance of building. The present research is about onsite corrosion prevention of steel using Sacrificial Surface Anode. For evaluation of performance a number of SSA are installed in one of the multi-story buildings in Surat city about 18 km from sea shore. This includes the working of SSA which depends upon the resistivity and moisture content of concrete cover to reinforcement.

The Boundary conditions are U(0, y,t)  0, U(1, y,t)  0, U(x,0,t)  0, and U(x,1,t)  0 and the initial condition is U(x, y,0)  sin4 xcos4 y . The images provide quick but approximate insights to the solution. Approximation by image visualization depends on many factors such as the display device, human eye factors, image resolution (sampling rate and bit depth of the image), and image resize methods. We have provided images for different time t and different resolutions We have studied the impact of different sampling rate and different image resize methods on the quality of the images. User study is performed for qualitative inspection and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is used as a quantitative measure of the relative similarity in images with respect to different sampling rate and time t . Qualitative inspection and PSNR follow the same trend. Further, Qualitative inspection confirms that the quality of approximation of solution by image visualization improves with increase in sampling rate. Moreover, lanczos3 is the best interpolation method to resize the images.

Generally, passengers are more prone to Motion Sickness (MS) than the drivers. The difference of their severity level of MS is due to their different head movement towards the direction of the lateral acceleration. During cornering, the passengers tend to tilt their heads according to the direction, while the drivers tends to tilt their head opposite to the direction. Based on this fact, the passengers are able to reduce their MS level if they can imitate the driver’s head movement or lessen their head tilt angle towards the direction of the lateral acceleration. However, it is easier to design MS mitigation method based on the head tilt movement strategy if the mathematical expression of their head behaviour is known beforehand. On way to derive the mathematical expression is by modelling the relationship between the occupant’s head tilt movements and the vehicle’s lateral acceleration during curve driving. Therefore, this study proposed the usage of Hammerstein-Wiener (H-W) method for the modelling purpose. Experiment is set up to obtain the naturalistic data for the modelling process. The modelling process is carried out by varying the input output nonlinearities estimators. The results show that the estimated output responses from the H-W models are similar with the real responses taken from the experiment.The derived models for both passenger and driver have 68.88% and 66.32% of Best Fit (BF) percentages. With further study, the passenger’s and driver’s models which are developed by the proposed H-W modelling strategy are expected to contribute in MS minimisation studies.

Cancer has been portrayed as a heterogeneous disease comprising of a wide range of subtypes. The early diagnosis of a cancer type is very important to determine the course of medical treatment required by the patient. The significance of classifying cancerous cells into benign or malignant has driven many research studies, in the biomedical and the bioinformatics field. In the past years researchers have been encouraged to use different machine learning (ML) techniques for cancer detection, as well as prediction of survivability and recurrence. What's more, ML instruments can be used to distinguish key highlights from complex datasets and uncover their significance. An assortment of these procedures, including Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Bayesian Networks (BNs), Random Forest Methods (RVMs) and Decision Trees (DTs) has been usually used in cancer research for the development of predictive models, resulting in successful and exact decision making. Although it is obvious that the usage of machine learning techniques can enhance our comprehension of cancer detection, progression, recurrence and survivability, a proper level of accuracy is required for these strategies to be considered in the ordinary clinical practice. The predictive models talked about here depend on different administered ML strategies and on various input features and data samples. We have used Naïve-Bayes classifier, Neural Networks method, Decision Tree and Logistic Regression algorithm to detect the type of breast cancer (Benign or Malignant) and selection of features which are more relevant for prediction. We have made a comparative study to find out the best algorithm of the above four, for prediction of cancer type. With a high level of accuracy, any of these methods can be used to predict the type of breast cancer of any particular patient.

The growth of online application used for financial transactions and transferring personal information is increasingly common on internet and in mobile communication. These applications require authenticating legitimate users by assigning digital identities. Static passwords are perhaps most common type of credentials used today to authenticate the users. To avoid tedious task of remembering passwords, users often behave less securely by using low entropy and weak passwords, thus presenting security threats to online services. Various solutions have been provided to eliminate the need of users to create and manage passwords’ typical solution is based on generating one time password (OTP) for a single session or transaction. Unfortunately in most of the general mechanisms used for generating one time password (OTP) randomness of OTP system breaks after certain period of time and hence passwords become predictable. To solve this problem, in this paper a novel OTP generation method has been proposed, which generates OTP from fingerprint features of the user. The OTP produced from the system is secure as it uses fingerprint features in the seed and RIPEMD160 hash function in OTP generation procedure.

At present, global changes are taking place in the system of high education. They are the result of, firstly, serious socio-economic transformations in society, and secondly, integration processes that have occurred in the European educational space. Under these conditions, the issue of the quality of education did not lose its relevance, but also acquired new facets. The level of students’ training in high educational institutions requires an objective assessment at high level. Since modernization of educational space is a difficult and long process, high education institutions must constantly look for new tools, methods and technologies for evaluating the results of educational activities. Professional and pedagogical competence of teachers in the framework of modern system of high education requires constant improvement. The argument for using new methods is that they comprehensively assess emerging competencies. In turn, for the most efficient use of the methods traditionally used, it is necessary to carry out a phased improvement of traditional means of control. To this end, the authors investigated the issue of improving control and appraisal activities in Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University named after Kozma Minin. The aim of the work is to develop a model of teacher’s control and assessment activity in the context of competence approach implementation. The verification of the model was carried out with the help of the research of completion level of qualifying work done by students. The verification was carried out in two stages: before the introduction of the model in 2017 and after the introduction of the model in 2018. The main results and conclusions of the work can be used in development of control and assessment tools for mastering competencies of students of high educational institutions.

As the new technologies are emerging, data is getting generated in larger volumes high dimensions. The high dimensionality of data may rise to great challenge while classification. The presence of redundant features and noisy data degrades the performance of the model. So, it is necessary to extract the relevant features from given data set. Feature extraction is an important step in many machine learning algorithms. Many researchers have been attempted to extract the features. Among these different feature extraction methods, mutual information is widely used feature selection method because of its good quality of quantifying dependency among the features in classification problems. To cope with this issue, in this paper we proposed simplified mutual information based feature selection with less computational overhead. The selected feature subset is experimented with multilayered perceptron on KDD CUP 99 data set with 2- class classification, 5-class classification and 4-class classification. The accuracy is of these models almost similar with less number of features.

Giving multinutrient blocks as a feed supplement aims to catalyze more efficient use of poor quality animal feed. This study aimed to get good performance of Kacang goats through the providing of the right amount of multinutrient blocks (MNB). The experimental method used 12 male goats which were divided into 3 groups based on their body weight, K1 (18,75 ± 1,25 kg), K2 (16,20 ± 1,20 kg) and K3 (14,20 ± 1,20 kg). Corn forage and concentrate fed as basal feed with a composition of 20: 80. Concentrates were composed from rice bran, pollard, coffee peel and molasses. The multinutrient blocks materials consisted of corn forage, urea, blood clam shells, eggshells, molasses, bentonite and salt. Randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatments (T0: Forage + Concentrate, T1: T0 + 5g MNB, T2: T0 + 10g MNB, T3: T0 + 15g MNB) and 3 replications was used in this study. The parameters observed included daily body weight gain, dry matter and organic matter consumption and total digestible nutrients (TDN). From the results of the study it was concluded that MNB’s supplementation did not have a significant effect on dry matter T0 (1066 g), T1 (936 g), T2 (952 g) T3 (895 g), and organic matter consumption T0 (967 g), T1 (844 g) T2 (842 g), T3 (800 g), total digestible nutrients T0 (693 g), T1 (603 g), T2 (629 g), T3 (570 g) and body weight gain T0 (5 kg/head), T1 (6,2 kg/head), T2 (5,5 kg/head), T3 (5,2 kg/head) of Kacang goats. It can be suggest that multinutrient blocks should be given as a feed suplement in low quality rations to improve feed efficiency.
