A smart wheelchair (SW) is a power wheelchair (PW) consist of microcontroller, actuators, sensor, and implement the assistive technology in system architecture. Users with severe motor impairment may realize the difficulty to operate a wheelchair when they are in a tight space such as passing a doorway or when avoiding obstacles since, they are unable to control the wheelchair. This project embarked on an obstacle avoidance system of a wheelchair. This project developed a cost-effective system that alarmed the user to avoid obstacle on its path. The prototype includes a Kinect camera and ultrasonic sensors. Kinect camera was placed at the right side of the wheelchair for real time video obstacle detection. Four of the ultrasonic sensors was used to detect obstacle at the front and one ultrasonic sensor for rear obstacle detection. Any obstacle detected by the ultrasonic sensors triggered the buzzer. Obstacle detected by Kinect camera was displayed with specific command for the user in attempt for obstacle avoidance. The performance of the obstacle avoidance system was tested indoor to detect obstacles in a controlled environment. The accuracy of the ultrasonic system was tested at a specific distance of 20mm to 200mm at 20mm intervals. Real time video received from the Kinect Camera was used to analyse the depth of the environment and the location of the object.

Knotty tearing is a phenomena normally observed in reinforced black-filled natural rubber (NR) vulcanizate but not in gum NR vulcanizate. Unfortunately the underlying cause of knotty tear is still not fully understood and need to be unraveled. Many factors contribute to knotty tear behavior which include suppression of strain-induce crystallization, protein content of latex, vulcanization temperature and pre-vulcanization and post-vulcanization of latex. In this study, we concentrate on varying the maturation time during compounding process in filled NR latex (NRL) to study knotty tear behavior. The maturation time were varied in the range (0 – 72) hrs; and the tear deviation were measured to determine the extent of knotty tear phenomena. It was found that at the optimum maturation time of 24 hrs samples show highest tearing energy and show knotty tear phenomena with the least angle of tear deviation.

Lumbar spinal fusion or lumbar interbody fusion is a surgical procedure done by putting the cages implant between the lumbar vertebra supported by rods and screws to hold the vertebra. This procedure is commonly used to treat disc degeneration diseases and other medical conditions. However, failure of the subcutaneous vertebral endplate has been identified to increase the possibility of biomechanical instability. There are broad range of designs and material types of the spinal implant cages that can be used in spinal fusion. Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) cage is used to preserve stability and stimulate fusion between vertebrae. There are four different types of biomaterials that can be used to produce the cage namely as metal, ceramic, polymer and composite. The objective of this project is to examine the interbody fusion effects of a several type of cage’s materials. A 3D finite element model of third (L3) and fourth lumbar (L4) vertebrae with interbody fusion made up of different types of cage’s materials namely as Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), poly lactic acid (PLA), Cobalt Chromium, Titanium Alloy and Stainless Steel were developed and analysed. A fusion model developed based on the respective surgical protocols. The resulting stress and displacement within the cage at the vertebra were measured under different types of compressive loadings and motions. The results indicated an important effects of the material properties on flexibility in extension, axial rotation and lateral bending. Titanium Alloy have been identified as a good material for the metal categories, while for the composite categories PLA (Polylactic acid) has also been simulated as the best alternative material with cheaper material and lower production costs.

Organic waste is material that is biodegradable and comes from either plant or animal. It can be decomposed over time by microbes into methane, carbon dioxide, water, and other simple organic molecules. Microorganism especially bacteria and fungus are able to decompose cellulose by an enzyme known as cellulase. Since plants are made up from cellulose, this study is focused on isolating and identifying the microbes that are responsible in decomposing the organic waste by screening for the microorganisms that are able to produce cellulose enzyme. In this experiment, the bacteria were isolated from three different samples, which are; compost product, decayed wood and empty fruit bunch mix with oil palm frond. The samples were collected from the fresh decomposing organic waste. The samples undergo serial dilution, screening the ability of the microorganism to solubilize phosphate by using National Botanical Research Institute’s Phosphate media (NBRIP) and screening the ability of the microorganism to produce cellulose enzyme by using Carboxymethyl Cellulose Media (CMC) treated with Congo Red and NaCl for confirmation of the targeted effective microbes. The result shows that the targeted effective microbes will produce the halo zone or clear zone formation after being treated with Red Congo and NaCl solution on CMC media and producing a halo zone on NBRIP media. In this experiment, we manage to isolate and identify the bacteria that is responsible in producing cellulase enzyme and solubilizing phosphate that is known as Streptomyces sanglieri. Application of effective microbes will promote the plant uptake due to its ability in converting the nutrient into available form to the plant.

This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of nanoclay incorporation on wear properties of short glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite. Three different nanoclay contents of 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0wt% were dispersed into epoxy resin using a three-roll mill machine. The fibers were dispersed using mechanical mixer machine. Dry sliding and abrasive wear tests were conducted using pin-on-disc and abrasive resistance tribometer, respectively. The tests were conducted under 30N load and at 300rpm speed for 10000m sliding distance. The addition of nanoclay filler in epoxy polymer has shown improvement towards wear properties of GFRP composite, of up to 65% and 45% under dry sliding and abrasive wear resistance, respectively. The nanoclay appears to improve the microstructural strength leading to better load carrying capacity of the composite, advancing its effect as secondary reinforcement to the polymer composite.

The paper is a critical review of studies to understand the role of social capital in the empowerment of fishing communities who avail the assistance of microfinance institutions. The findings showed that studies on empowerment of communities by social capital were less. However, a substantial amount of studies analysed the concept of deployment of social capital as an assertion for the repayments of the loans obtained from the microfinance institutions. In addition to the above, the number of studies on the function of social capital in the empowerment of fishing communities who obtained financial assistances from microfinance institutions was rare. Although a few studies that investigated the attainment of knowledge and balanced utilisation of the available resources were obtained, studies that concentrated extensively on the on the beneficiaries in the fishery sector were found to be scarce. There were a sparse number of studies that elucidated the characteristics of the microfinance institutions as well as the groups of the beneficiaries of these institutions that affect the generation of a strong social capital among the group members. In conclusion, this review opens up various avenues for future research. Studies that scrutinise the difficulties of the members of self-help groups in the fisheries sector in employing the knowledge gained and resources attained from social capital established in their group and the consequent changes in their performance in their business can be carried out. Apart from the aforementioned future study opportunity, comprehensive studies on the policies to develop the social capital of the groups of the beneficiaries of the microfinance institutions can be carried out.

Agriculture is the most important in the Indian economy. The Indian farmer has shown wonderful, response to the new technological innovation in agriculture. In the agricultural sectors, tapioca plays a important role tapioca in generally referred to as “Starch Flour” and its cultivation and marketing givers employment to thousands of people apart from earning foreign exchange for the country. The cultivators face number of problems on the marketing front tapioca like seed procurement, innocent of farmers, financing problems, high transportation cost, and price fluctuation. So that it is recommended co-operative bank and co-operative organisation is regulated markets shall Come forward to establish their storage houses in villages and also loan offered by rural bank and co-operative bank. Again it is also suggested that the government shall come forward to construct public warehouses. . It the above suggestions are duly carried out by the parties concerned, the Tapioca production would go up, giving employment to more than lakhs of people. It would also result in effective marketing giving the legitimate share to the growers

A drillship is a kind of merchant vessel with a self-propulsion unit and drilling equipment used for oil exploration. The major difference with the merchant vessel is the moonpool. A moonpool is a vertical opening from the continuous deck to the keel plate of the vessel for drilling operations and other applications like the launching of measuring instruments. This moonpool opening allowing the entry of water into the vessel. The water motion within the moonpool is mostly related to the encountering wave frequency, the geometry of the moonpool and the draft condition of the vessel. The major amplitude of the water particle motion within the moonpool, either may be in the sloshing mode or in piston mode. This water motion leads to the entry of green water on the deck during the rough weather condition. This is known as the downtime period of a drillship, during this time the operation of the drillship is in off-mode. This paper presents the study about the downtime period of drillship experimentally with rectangular moonpool

This fast world is running with machine and human interaction. This kind of interaction is not an easy task. For proper interaction between human and machine speech recognition is major area where the machine should understand the speech properly to perform the tasks. So ASR have been developed which improvised the HMIS (“Human Machine Interaction systems”) technology in to the deep level. This research focuses on speech recognition over “Telugu language”, which is used in Telugu HMI systems. This paper uses LSF (linear spectral frequencies) technique for feature extraction and DNN for feature classification which finally produced the effective results. Many other recognition systems also used these techniques but for Telugu language this are the most suitable techniques.

It is obvious that decision making is instrumental in everyone’s life style irrespective of colour, caste, community, belief systems, education, and designation. Everyone in the earth necessarily has to take decisions at certain juncture of personal or professional life. Wrong decisions always invite hurdles and complications that would sometimes lead to highly critical results. This paper concentrates on the credibility in the decision making of the students in choosing engineering courses. In India, right from schools, students are oriented towards medicine and engineering. It is observed that the choice of becoming doctors is being reasonable since many of the medical students settle down as doctors. Whereas, the choice of engineering courses in India is debatable since most of the engineering students are jobless. Hence it is presumed that poor decision making of in selection of the courses is the root cause for this pathetic situation of the engineering graduates

Dysarthria is a disorder that is caused in the nervous system. It is caused by damage in some parts of the brain such as cerebellum. Because of the damage in brain it causes weakness in muscles used for speech therefore it happens as in mumbled, slurred or slow speech that human and the machine find it difficult to understand such slurred speech. The Automatic Speech Recognizers which were designed for speech intelligibility perform poorly on dysarthric speech recognition. This paper focuses on the transformation of voice for dysarthria to enhance its intelligibility Formant tracking, pitch and energy estimation with durational cues from dysarthric speech facilitate the modification of these trajectories to more closely approximate the desired intelligible target speech. The transformation of the speech is done by using formant re-synthesis, pitch change and duration morphing. The results of such transformation results indicate that the transformation of the pitch and duration step enhances the intelligibility of dysarthric speech and make it easy to understand for humans and machines.

The current problems raising as a horizon in the computational and networking sector is based on the unimaginable increase of high numbers of users which in turn results in high data traffic, limitations over products which are vendor specific, incurring high expenses in maintaining the existing network. This dilutes a major part of the beneficiaries in the sector to move towards Cloud Networks. All these happenings in the past has quietly increased the risks and challenges in the aspect of security considering both data and the infrastructure accommodating the data. In an attempt to address almost a major portion of the existing above said problems, Software Defined Networking was highly anticipated, however, it was considered as a theoretical approach. After the implementation of SDN networks by industrial giants like Google, the SDN concepts again managed to reach the safer hands of the researchers in the movement of enhancement. A very rapid and high speed research work has been initiated by researchers all around the globe in analysing the risk factors and implementation barricades stated in the Software Defined Networking architecture. The research work focus on adding values to the Quality of Service, Latency, Load Balancing and most importantly the security aspects in various metrics of the Software Defined Networking Architecture. The odd man out architecture of Software Defined Networking by decoupling data and control plane allows the network to be configured and maintained in a real time scenario pertaining to pose a complete view of the network and its flow. The fact that is considered as an advantage itself is a factor of question in the case of security in the overall SDN architecture. This paper focuses on a detailed view of SDN architecture with the existing security feature and continues with the expected threats and classifying the weak points in the SDN. This paper also briefs about the pros and cons of the existing applications in the SDN architecture.
