Purpose: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a buzz word and so is the CSR mandate where certain companies in India have to mandatorily spend 2% of their Net Profit (average 3 years) in specified CSR activities from the year 2014. This paper examines whether the mandate has had any impact in the companies (coming under the purview of the mandate) and the areas where it has had an impact. Design/methodology/approach: The research methodology consisted of two-step process. Step 1: Two Focus Group Discussions were conducted to explore the areas that can be used to measure the impact of CSR mandate. Step 2: A semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted with 10 CSR heads/ CXOs of companies in India. Data was analysed through qualitative analysis methodology of identifying patterns. Findings: The results of the study indicated three major areas where the CSR mandate impacted the maximum. 1. The CSR budget/ expenditure 2. The choice of CSR activity 3. Partnerships for implementing CSR activities with NGO’s/ Government 4. Frequency of impact Assessments. The study showed that the Mandate has not had much impact in the budget for organisations which already had a CSR departments and activities in place but the importance of the department increased. CSR has now become a topic in the boardroom with clear objectives and deliverables which was not the case earlier in most of the companies. Originality/value: This study provides areas for measuring impact of the fairly new CSR mandate in India. It explains how the CSR mandate has made companies think differently on CSR grounds. The findings will help companies and CSR partners (NGO’s and government) to implement the requirements and the intent of the mandate better.

Energy-aware real-time scheduling is gaining attention in recent years owing to environmental concerns and applications in numerous fields. System reliability also gets affected adversely with increasing energy dissipations posing serious challenges before the researchers. Keeping these in view, in recent times researchers have diverted to combining issues of fault-tolerance and energy efficiency. In literature, DVFS and DPM, most commonly used techniques for power management in task scheduling, are often combined with Primary/Backup technique to achieve fault tolerance against transient and permanent faults. Optimal algorithms, Earliest deadline first (EDF) and Rate-Monotonic (RM), meant for scheduling dynamic and fixed priority tasks respectively, have mainly been analyzed using a dual-processor approach for fault-tolerance and energy efficiency. In this paper, to handle higher workload of fixed-priority real-time tasks, energy-aware fault-tolerant scheduling algorithms are proposed for multiprocessor systems with balanced and unbalanced number of main and auxiliary processors. Simulations over extensive task-sets indicate that balanced approach is more energy-efficient than the unbalanced one.

Electrocardiogram signals are highly susceptible to interferences caused due to various kinds of noises including artefacts’, disruptions in power lines attained from the human interferences and device disturbances. These noise signals tend to lower the quality of signals that result in crucial environment for detecting and diagnosing different types of arrhythmia. In order to avoid this issue, multiple filtering techniques are being incorporated out of all Gaussian filters with Haar DWT portray better outcomes in noise elimination and smoothening of signal. The process of ECG signal filtering allows performing the testing and validation of in the actual world emulation. Enhancement in PSNR ratio is observed by using the ECG signal filters along the reconstructed signal. For a given input ECG signal, the levels of the signal peak decide if the patient is suffering from arrhythmia or not. If peak is low, patient is detected with the arrhythmia disease, if high patient is normal. The results can be observed in simulation. FPGA prototyping of the design is carried out along the hardware debugging in chip scope pro tool. The design is realized using Verilog coding with the technique of morphological filtering. For the purpose of debugging the hardware device used is Artix-7. The FPGA methodology is success full in a position to detect arrhythmia. The framework based on FPGA is structured and executed in the paper which can detect a type of arrhythmia which indicates Atrio Ventricular block along with all the noises removed. The simulation results are obtained by taking ECG signals from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The proposed FPGA based system design is proven to be optimized as it showed very less utilization of resources when compared to previous arrhythmia detection system designs.

The process of an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for ancient hand written documents or palm leaf manuscripts is done by means of four phases. The four phases are ‘line segmentation’, ‘word segmentation’, ‘character segmentation’, and ‘character recognition’. The colour image of palm leaf manuscripts are changed into binary images by using various pre-processing methods. The first phase of an OCR might break through the hurdles of touching lines and overlapping lines. The character recognition becomes futile when the line segmentation is erroneous. In Tamil language palm leaf manuscript recognition, there are only a handful of line segmentation methods. Moreover, the available methods are not viable to meet the required standards. This article is proposed to fill the lacuna in terms of the methods necessary for line segmentation in Tamil language document analysis. The method proposed compares its efficiency with the line segmentation algorithms work on binary images such as the Adaptive Partial Projection (APP) and A* Path Planning (A*PP). The tools and criteria of evaluation metrics are measured from ICDAR 2013 Handwriting Segmentation Contest.

Gene expression data clustering is a significant problem to be resolved as it provides functional relationships of genes in a biological process. Finding co-expressed groups of genes is a challenging problem. To identify interesting patterns from the given gene expression data set, a Tanimoto Coefficient Similarity based Mean Shift Gentle Adaptive Boosted Clustering (TCS-MSGABC) Model is proposed. TCS-MSGABC model comprises two processes namely feature selection and clustering. In first process, Tanimoto Coefficient Similarity Measurement based Feature selection (TCSM-FS) is introduced to identify relevant gene features based on the similarity value for performing the genomic expression clustering. Tanimoto Coefficient Similarity Value ranges from ‘ ’ to ‘ ’ where ‘ ’ is highest similarity. The gene feature with higher similarity value is taken to perform clustering process. After feature selection, Mean Shift Gentle Adaptive Boosted Clustering (MSGABC) algorithm is carried out in TCS-MSGABC model to cluster the similar gene expression data based on the selected features. The MSGABC algorithm is a boosting method for combining the many weak clustering results into one strong learner. By this way, the similar gene expression data are clustered with higher accuracy with minimal time. Experimental evaluation of TCS-MSGABC model is carried out on factors such as clustering accuracy, clustering time and error rate with respect to number of gene data. The experimental results show that the TCS-MSGABC model is able to increases the clustering accuracy and also minimizes clustering time of genomic predictive pattern analytics as compared to state-of-the-art works.

Statistical analysis of modulated codes for robot positioning: application to BeAMS
Authors: Van Droogenbroeck Marc , Vincent Pierlot
Published: November 2019

Positioning is a fundamental issue for mobile robots. Therefore, a performance analysis is suitable to determine the behavior of a system, and to optimize its working. Unfortunately, some systems are only evaluated experimentally, which makes the performance analysis and design decisions very unclear.

In [4], we have proposed a new angle measurement system, named BeAMS, that is the key element of an algorithm for mobile robot positioning. BeAMS introduces a new mechanism to measure angles: it detects a beacon when it enters and leaves an angular window. A theoretical framework for a thorough performance analysis of BeAMS has been provided to establish the upper bound of the variance, and to validate this bound through experiments and simulations. It has been shown that the estimator derived from the center of this angular window provides an unbiased estimate of the beacon angle.

This document complements our paper by going into further details related to the code statistics of modulated signals in general, with an emphasis on BeAMS. In particular, the probability density function of the measured angle has been previously established with the assumption that there is no correlation between the times a beacon enters the angular window or leaves it. This assumption is questionable and, in this document, we reconsider this assumption and establish the exact probability density function of the angle estimated by BeAMS (without this assumption).

The conclusion of this study is that the real variance of the estimator provided by BeAMS was slightly underestimated in our previous work. In addition to this specific result, we also provide a new and extensive theoretical approach that can be used to analyze the statistics of any angle measurement method with beacons whose signal has been modulated. To summarize, this technical document has four purposes:

(1) to establish the exact probability density function of the angle estimator of BeAMS,

(2) to calculate a practical upper bound of the variance of this estimator, which is of practical interest for calibration and tracking (see Table 1, on page 13, for a summary),

(3) to present a new theoretical approach to evaluate the performance of systems that use modulated (coded) signals, and

(4) to show how the variance evolves exactly as a function of the angular window (while remaining below the upper bound).

The researcher found kinds of errors There are addition (20 errors or 11.76 %), ommision (44 errors or 25.88 %), subtitution (69 errors or 40.59 %) and ordering (37 error or 21.76%). Therefore, the subtitution error has the highest frequency (69 errors or 40.59%). It proved that the students do not understand the pattern and function of adjective clauses “who and whom” sentence since they often ignore to put an item needed in the well-formed adjective clause sentence. In this research, the writer found that those errors are caused the cause by three types, that is first language interference, overgeneralization, and ignorance of rule restriction. And factors cause of error are interlangual transfer and intralingual transfer. Interlangual transfer is the errors caused by the mother tongue influence. While, intralingual transfer is the error caused by the target language influence.
