Structures built with normal concrete are fading out from the construction industry due to the development of high strength concrete. The massive structures such as sky scrapers, bridges, tunnels, nuclear plants, underground structures need high strength concrete to withstand the high intensity vertical, horizontal and moving loads etc. The development of high strength alkaline activated concrete will reduce the usage of cement in construction community. Lesser the utilisation of cement will lessen the high emission of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. In this study, high strength concrete using alumina and silica rich materials are made with a mix ratio of 1:1.31:2.22. The water to cement ratio for high strength cement concrete and the alkaline solution to binder ratio for alkaline activated concrete are kept as 0.35. Low calcium fly ash, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Metakaolin are used as binders and Manufacturing Sand is used as fine aggregate to made high strength alkaline activated concrete. The high strength alkaline activated concrete tests results are better than the high strength cement concrete.

Drowsy driving is as dangerous as drunk driving. Many people, especially youth, ignore this and still continue to drive in this state. Drowsiness is the one of the major causes of road accidents, especially at night. Eating certain kinds of food causes the blood sugar levels to plummet which make the driver energy deprived. Many drivers consume alcohol at night which causes dizziness that leads to fatal accidents. Many lives are lost due to accidents caused by drowsiness. There are many papers which studied and found out the exact blink rate for drowsiness detection, but in this paper we will first study the driver’s blink rate, as it may vary from person to person, and then after learning, actions will be taken according to the driver’s learnt blink rate. This paper describes the system that monitors the blinks of the driver which can be used to detect drowsiness and prevent such fatalities. After detecting the drowsiness, we aim to alert the driver about the drowsiness using certain alarm sounds.

Medical images are susceptible to noise and poor contrast. Improving the quality of image using different image enhancement techniques is an important area of image research. In this paper, various image enhancement techniques are applied over lung cancer CT images. Identifying mechanisms to detect lung cancer is very important since men and women are found to be most affected by Lung cancer compared to other types of cancer. As per the report from the World Health Organization, 2.09 million cases of Lung cancer were reported in the year 2018. Early detection and treatment of Lung cancer improve the chances of survival. Thus, this paper aims at applying and reviewing different frequency based Image enhancement techniques like Butterworth filter, Gaussian filter, Gabor filter, fast Fourier transform, and Discrete wavelet transform and finding the best filtering technique used to detect Lung cancer from a sample of Computed Tomography (CT) images. Peak to signal noise ratio is calculated to find the best filter since it is similar to reconstruction quality in human’s perception. The results from experiment analysis shows that Gabor filter has higher PSNR value and it’s the best enhancement technique out of the filters taken under study.

Big data is a huge collection of data, which are larger in size. It assembles many techniques and technologies to uncover the needed values from a larger data set. Big data needs a large server to store the data which is higher in cost and also there is a need for maintenance. Cloud server can be a key for this problem. It has the capability of large scale storage management. But it is a third party service, so the apprehension here is the data security. Data can be secured from the cloud server by strong encryption methodologies. All data doesn’t need a high data security, so first we need to classify the data into sensitive and insensitive data. Sensitive data alone needs a proper attention over threats. This paper focuses on the identification of sensitive data within an acceptable computation time.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is most useful network due to its healthcare applications. The reliability is the major issue of concern in WBAN as highly prioritized signals are sent by using this network. The WBAN must cover the maximum body with minimum number of nodes for the efficient processing of the data sensed. This paper discusses a reliable optimized WBAN protocol named as Jaya based Optimized And Reliable protocol (JOAR) which covers the maximum body with minimum nodes and route the data in an efficient manner. The proposed protocol uses the JAYA algorithm for the optimization process. The comparison of the routing protocol with other existing state of art techniques like anthocnet, AODV and DSDV proves its significance.

In this paper, the power from a solar PV panel 20VDC, 12.5ADC is used for charging an electric vehicle battery (12V, 7Ah) with the help of an isolated dc-dc converter in an efficient manner. The power rating maintained in the system is around (200-250) W. The parasitic circuit analysis is carried out theoretically. The zero voltage transition (ZVT) technique is implemented at the inverter stage and an isolation transformer (1:1) is used for source-load isolation purposes. In order to achieve ZVT, a proper design procedure is followed and a pulse triggering technique is carried out at the switching element. The designed values of the parasitic elements are used in the Simulink tool. The open loop and closed loop system of the proposed converter are simulated in MATLAB Simulink package. In the open loop system, an irradiation analysis carried out similarly closed loop has reference voltage variation analysis in order to verify the system stability at the various operating condition. The problem of transients in open loop output is rectified in the closed loop operation. The MPP and PI control technique is initiated in the closed loop system for better performance. The MPP technique used is incremental conductance method for tracking maximum power from the PV array.

Big data as multiple sources and social media is one of them. Such data is rich in opinion of people and needs automated approach with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) to obtain and summarize social feedback. With ML as an integral part of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machines can demonstrate intelligence exhibited by humans. ML is widely used in different domains. With proliferation of Online Social Networks (OSNs), people of all walks of life exchange their views instantly. Thus they became platforms where opinions or people are available. In other words, social feedback on products and services are available. For instance, Twitter produces large volumes of such data which is of much use to enterprises to garner Business Intelligence (BI) useful to make expert decisions. In addition to the traditional feedback systems, the feedback (opinions) over social networks provide depth in the intelligence to revise strategies and policies. Sentiment analysis is the phenomenon which is employed to analyze opinions and classify them into positive, negative and neutral. Existing studies usually treated overall sentiment analysis and aspect-based sentiment analysis in isolation, and then introduce a variety of methods to analyse either overall sentiments or aspect-level sentiments, but not both. Usage of probabilistic topic model is a novel approach in sentiment analysis. In this paper, we proposed a framework for comprehensive analysis of overall and aspect-based sentiments. The framework is realized with aspect based topic modelling for sentiment analysis and ensemble learning algorithms. It also employs many ML algorithms with supervised learning approach. Benchmark datasets used in international SemEval conferences are used for empirical study. Experimental results revealed the efficiency of the proposed framework over the state of the art.

Cotton has been picked by hand for over centuries. It is still practiced in some parts of the world. Although, most of the modern countries have machinery for picking the cotton, it is still hand-picked in India. This leads to several health problems and also besmirches the cotton. In order to overcome these problems, mechanized picking is implemented. This is operated manually which reduces the labor cost and the time taken to pick the cotton. It is a one-time investment and cost of maintenance is low.

The Mahanubhavs
Authors: Rigopoulos Antonio
Published: February 2020

The ascetic, devotional sect of the Mahanubhavs -Those of the greatexperience - arose, like the much more popular bhakti movement ofthe Vårkaris centred in Pandharpur, in thirteenth century Maharastra.If in the beginning the Mahanubhavs had a fairly rapid expansion, especiallyin the northern and eastern regions of Maharastra, around theend of the fourteenth century their movement went underground aimingat a defensive isolation from the larger Hindü context. They centredthemselves in remote areas and villages. Although the prominentleaders among the early Mahanubhavs were brahma's (often convertsfrom the prevailing advaita vaißñavism), their followers were and aremostly non-brahma's, that is, low caste people and even untouchables.Outside of their own closed circles Mahanubhavs were met with prejudiceand distrust, at least up to the beginning of the twentieth century.In this volume the author offers an overview of the origins and mainreligious and doctrinal characteristics of the Mahanubhavs, discussingthose aspects which appear especially revealing of their differenceand nonconformity.
Per una pianificazione "a misura" di territorio
Authors: Perrone Camilla
Published: February 2020

The text proposes several approaches for reflection on the subject of the governance of territorial consumption, addressing two critical issues: the dimensioning of planning and the concept of territory as a common good. The latter is understood as the outcome of cooperative behaviour and interactive practices aimed at recognition of the value of the places and the definition of rules of settlement for the protection of increasingly scarce collective resources. Exploring the relations between the limits of efficacy of the mechanisms for dimensioning the plans and responsibilities of the policies for governance of the territory – increasingly torn between public and private interests and not sufficiently "shared" - the book offers food for thought on the role of a "territorial-size" type of planning in the acknowledgement and management of the common goods.
La peculiare costituzione dell'Unione Europea
Authors: Fossum John Erik , Menendez Agustin José
Published: February 2020

A unique political animal, the European Union has given rise to important constitutional conundrums and paradoxes that John Erik Fossum and Agustín José Menéndez explore in detail in this book. The authors consider the process of forging the EU's constitution and the set of fundamental norms that define the institutional structure, the decision-making procedures, and the foundations of the Union's democratic legitimacy. Their analysis illuminates the distinctive features of the EU's pluralist constitutional construct but also the interesting parallels to the Canadian constitutional experience and provides the tools to understand the Union's development, especially during the Laeken (2001–2005) and Lisbon (2007–2009) processes of constitutional reform.
La ricerca del bosone di Higgs
Authors: Casalbuoni Roberto
Published: February 2020

This volume describes the history of research that led to the experimental evidence of the Higgs boson, officially announced by CERN in Geneva on July 4, 2012. This discovery represented the culmination of a journey that began with the discovery of radioactivity in 1896, and which led to the conjecture of a new interaction: the weak interaction. The attempts to understand this new type of strength are retraced narrating the difficulties, the momentary satisfactions and disillusions of these studies that have been carried out over a period of more than one hundred years. Experimental research that led to reconsidering the existence of the Higgs particle is also illustrated, highlighting, in particular, what has been done at CERN's proton accelerator, LHC (Large Hadron Collider), where the discovery took place.

Il puzzle dei ceti medi
Authors: Bellini Andrea
Published: February 2020

The issue of the middle class has seen a recovery of interest in public opinion in the last decade, especially in light of the problems connected with the transition to flexible capitalism and the advent of the economic crisis. In the scientific debate, it has been present since the dawn of modern sociology as a phenomenon difficult to frame from the theoretical point of view and even more difficult to empirically investigate. Starting from these premises, the volume offers a critical reinterpretation of classic and contemporary authors and contributions, focusing its analysis on the role played by the middle classes themselves in the process of change, trying to identify and highlight the inter-connections between the size of structure, identity and action.
La lingua italiana tra passato e futuro
Authors: Maraschio Nicoletta
Published: February 2020

This book outlines a short profile of Italy’s linguistic history, and discusses some current problems related to globalization, the values of the mother tongue and multilingualism, and the need to re-found the Italian and European linguistic policy on a new basis. Contemporary Italian is a particularly stratified cultural asset in which, alongside the many new elements, one can grasp the clear and precious signs of a very strong connection with the past. Today, in the European scene, Italy indeed stands out for its accentuated multilingualism and the long duration of its national language. On the one hand, the extraordinary animal and plant biodiversity in the country corresponds to an extraordinary cultural and linguistic diversity; on the other, the Italians feel that the language used by Dante, Petrarca and Boccaccio still belongs to them, and has fundamental traits coinciding with their own. Such richness is particularly appreciated abroad (as evidenced by the growing demand for Italian speakers in the world) and deserves to be better acknowledged by the younger generations. It also deserves to be protected and valued with appropriate tools, starting with a decisive rethinking of the country’s linguistic policy.
L'Islam spiegato ai miei studenti
Authors: Fiorita Nicola
Published: February 2020

The rooting of the Italian Muslim presence raises, beyond any exploitation, problems of a different nature that are difficult to solve. Inevitably, the need to understand the content of the principles and rules that govern Islam is destined to grow and pass from the restricted circle of specialists to the wider audience of legal, social and cultural operators. This agile volume, created to provide students with easy-to-use teaching material, tries to intercept this question through seven lessons that summarise the peculiar profiles and the most current issues of the Islamic legal system such as sources, marriage, the theme of human rights, female genital mutilation and the birth of Islamic banks. In the final part of the volume, ample space is given to the solutions that Western legislators have (or have not) developed to respond to the specific needs of Muslims living in Europe.

Selain itu, penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa ada tiga tindakan yang paling diprioritaskan guru dari tujuh pilihan tindakan ketika mendapati kasus kejahatan seksual di sekolahnya. Tiga tindakan prioritas tersebut antara lain diselesaikan secara kekeluargaan, membawa korban ke dokter untuk diperiksa secara medis, dan melaporkan kasus tersebut ke pihak kepolisian.
Interpreted information exchange: implementation point of view
Authors: Ramaji Issa J. , Memari Ali M.
Published: February 2020

Engineering design is one of the most in-demand Building Information Modelling (BIM) uses. Due to efforts required for modifying and preparing an imported model for analysis, the difficulty-to-benefit ratio is low in this BIM use. These preparations are more geared toward modifying an imported model based on the designer’s interpretation of the building information model and including additional engineering information. Automating the interpretation and model transformation process can significantly facilitate information exchanges. The Interpreted Information Exchange (IIE) concept is developed in this study for such automation during model exchanges. A platform is developed and presented in this paper for implementation of this concept. The platform contains procedures and functionalities required for inputting, processing, and exporting IFC information models through automated interpretation processes that implement IIE concept. The platform is especially formulated to be schema-independent to make it compatible with any standard or custom-defined version of IFC.

Published: February 2020

Мета статті – окреслити актуальні наукові завдання з визначення напрямів удосконалення структури, а також подальшого розвитку криміналістичної техніки, зважаючи на досягнення провідних країн, передусім Європейського Союзу та США. У процесі дослідження узагальнено підстави до визначення поняття криміналістичної техніки, застосовувані вітчизняними і зарубіжними науковцями, запропоновано власну дефініцію. Виокремлено складові криміналістичної науки (криміналістична техніка, криміналістична тактика, криміналістична методика). Обґрунтовано необхідність розвитку саме криміналістичної техніки. Доведено недоцільність подальших спроб обстоювати правовий (юридичний) характер криміналістичної техніки як розділу науки криміналістики. Вироблено пропозиції, з огляду на мультидисциплінарну природничо-технічну природу і беручи до уваги процеси глобалізації та взаємної інтеграції, щодо удосконалення її структури, спираючись на досвід інших країн, зокрема США, Німеччини, за аналогічною моделлю якої формувалася вітчизняна криміналістика. Аргументовано доцільність започаткування нових розділів криміналістичної техніки, таких як криміналістична мікрологія, криміналістична вибухотехніка, криміналістичне зброєзнавство, криміналістична фоноскопія, судова одорологія, дослідження матеріальних слідів на наявність ДНК, дослідження наркотичних засобів, дослідження комп’ютерної техніки, цифрових носіїв та програмного забезпечення, базуючись на результатах проведення ґрунтовних теоретичних досліджень з метою розроблення наукових засад і прикладних рекомендацій щодо розвитку цих розділів. Достовірність отриманих результатів і висновків забезпечено загальнонауковими і спеціальними методамидослідження, зокрема: системно-структурним з’ясовано сутність досліджуваних категорій і правових явищ; логіко-аргументаційним проаналізовано чинні положення щодо їх повноти, відповідності досягненням сучасних юридичних наук; порівняльно-правовим узагальнено правоохоронну практику та положення законодавства, зокрема США, Німеччини; історико-правовим зроблено ретроспективний аналіз розвитку криміналістичної техніки як складової криміналістичної науки; догматичний сприяв поглибленню та уточненню понятійно-категоріального апарату дослідження; моделювання уможливив формулювання висновків, а також пропозицій щодо удосконалення структури криміналістичної техніки, у тому числі започаткуванням нових її розділів.Ключові слова: криміналістика; криміналістична техніка; структура; зміст; техніко-криміналістичні засоби.
