In the 21st century, Internet of Things (IoT) has become pivotal technology and has attracted worldwide attention in the smart computing environment. In order to enjoy the benefits of this new environment, security is considered as the main aspect in constrained end nodes. Ordinary cryptographic solutions are not sufficient for resource constraint devices. To fulfill this gap, a relatively new field of cryptography called lightweight cryptography came into existence. Furthermore, designing lightweight ciphers especially software oriented poses some significant limits and inherent conditions. Some design considerations of a lightweight encryption algorithm and tradeoffs for minimizing resource requirements are presented in this paper. Also, for a cipher, it is necessary to provide strong resistance against attacks. In this paper different countermeasures to prevent from attacks is also presented. By considering the performance-enhancing ideas presented in this paper, a new GFN based lightweight block cipher is proposed. A cipher design has two main parts; internal structure and key schedule. The internal structure of the proposed design has three layers in which operations are so arranged that it utilizes small code size and has fast diffusion. Besides, design of newly proposed cipher is such that it thwarts the effect of most of the attacks. In the nutshell, this paper serves as a base for designing good lightweight cipher for resource constraint smart IOT environment.

To ensure the privilege of voting rights of the citizens, the procedure of election with security and integrity is a basic condition of any nation. Voting in India is a constitutional and fundamental right under the Representation of People Act 1951 and under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India. The Elections in India are performed almost completely using electronic voting machines (EVM) build up over the past 2 decades by a pair of government-owned companies. However, in India these devices is known as Electronic Voting Machines ,have been praised for their easy devise, ease of use, and reliability, but recently they have also been criticized and despite this criticism, several particulars of the machineries’ design have never been publicly disclosed, and they have not been subjected to a rigorous, independent security evaluation. This research paper will evaluate the machine’s effectiveness and function in detail, as well as address its safety in light of related election procedures. Presently , in India available Electronic Voting Machines(EVM) has been applauded for their uncomplicated design, dependability as well as usability, yet as of late they have moreover been condemned taking after across the board reports of race abnormalities. In spite of this feedback, numerous subtle parts of the machines' outline have never been freely unveiled, as well as they have not been subjected to a thorough, autonomous security assessment. However, the whole world efficiently dismisses the electronic voting machine (EVM) and in fact, just a couple of nations are presently using the electronic voting machines (EVM). The research paper examines the effectiveness of the EVMs in the electoral system of India with new challenges and opportunities.

Many civil engineering structures such as buildings, bridges, and road embankment etc. require the construction of foundations over soil slope. Reinforcement technique is a low-cost method of enhancing the load carrying capacity of such foundations. Over the past three decades, geosynthetics have been successfully used as a reinforcing material. In the present study, a series of small-scale model footing tests were conducted on the geosynthetics reinforced soil slope. A bi oriented 3D geogrid and glasgrid were used as a reinforcing material. The results obtained from laboratory model footing tests over a geosynthetics reinforced earth slope are analyzed and presented. Pressure settlement curves and improvement factor (IF) were studied by measuring the results of different settlement ratios. Various parameters like edge distance (D) and slope angle (β) were studied to check the effect of slope geometry. Some other parameters like optimum value of initial reinforcement depth (u), influence depth of reinforcement (d), and number of reinforcements (N) were also considered to check the effect of geosynthetic in the enhancement of load carrying capacity of footing over reinforced earth slope. Experimental results demonstrate that load carrying capacity of foundation resting over soil slope significantly improved by the placement of geosynthetics in the soil. On the basis of the experimental work, critical values of geosynthetic parameters for the optimum reinforcing effect are suggested.

Urban floods are different type of flooding event as compared to normally occurring riverine floods which is very often seen along the river banks during heavy rainfall in monsoons. Continuous human interventions in natural vegetative land for rapid Urbanization activities has given rise to Urban Flooding. So, there is a need for capacity analysis of existing storm networks and identification of overflow locations is the need of the study. Hence, in the present study an attempt has been made to simulate Urban Flood scenario for a semi Urban catchment using Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). The whole area is divided into 20 sub catchments and the data acquired from 2017 rainfall events is used for modelling. The study area is represented in SWMM by the help of Master Plan AutoCAD maps having drain lines and Reduced Levels (R.L.s) information. From this detailed elevation information of various nodes and length of pipe lines has been estimated to make the schematic view of the study area in SWMM. The focus of the present study is to model runoff conditions using Dynamic wave method of flood routing and Green-Ampt Infiltration model in SWMM. The results showed that SWMM has capability to model and interpret flows at various channel sections and nodes for mitigating floods. Due to unavailability of gauged flow data the model Parameters needs calibration for more reliable results. Model has effectively given catchment responses for peak flow and volume of runoff which is considered as one of the essential components of Urban drainage planning to mitigate the risk of flood.

Scaling of Turbulent Spectra Measured in Mobile Bed Flows and Estimation of Turbulent Kinetic Energy Budgets
Authors:   Civil Engineering Department, National Institute of  Technology Agartala, Tripura., Das Ratul
Published: August 2019

This study aims at quantifying experimentally the influence of bed load transport on velocity power spectrum of acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) and turbulent kinetic energy budget. Hydraulic flume was used for experimental investigations for bed load transport. Uniform size of gravels (d50 = 4 mm) were injected into the flows without bed-forms development and compared with those in clear water flows. A 5 cm down looking Vectrino+ of 10 MHz acoustic frequency was used to measure the velocity of flows. The velocity signals produced spikes in the Vectrino+ data on account of instrument noise and high-frequency fluctuations. Therefore, de-spiking and removal of contaminated data were very much essential to obtain clear velocity power spectra for the ADV data sets. The velocity power spectra of filtered dataset followed the Kolmogorov “–5/3 scaling-law” in the inertial frequency range. At low frequencies, another scaling regime with spectral slope of about −1.0 is found resulting a shifting of turbulent power production subrange towards the high frequency regime and it is interpreted as the signature of sediment mobility without bed form development. Interestingly, the bed lad transport reduced the TKE dissipation rate and sharply changed the pressure energy diffusion rate which corroborated a gain in turbulence production.

In this work a method to find number of components, possible connection and not possible connection between nodes in a graph are proposed. Graphs are represented as adjacency matrix. The elements of adjacency matrix can be any integer, 0 represents that there is no edge between vertices, any integer greater than 0 indicates that there are 1 or more edges between nodes, 2 in diagonal if the vertices have self-loops. The sum of any rows or columns gives the degree of the vertex. If the sum is zero that indicates that the vertex is isolated vertex, isolated vertex also forms a component. The point of disconnectivity in the graph is identified from the adjacency matrix, the total number of components will be summation of isolated vertices, number of disconnectivity pattern +1. Some observations on adjacency matrix are made to find point of disconnectivity and number of components in a graph.

The treatment of yellow water which is collected from a urinal is treated in a way to reuse it as a flushing water effectively. An existing methodology was differently tried and worked it out to treat the yellow waters. The two parameters were concentrated much for the safety reusing of the treated yellow water. Those two are Odor and Color which has a great impact in the reusing. There are many existing methods to treat the yellow water and reusing it for gardening purpose and reusing many more. But those methods involve addition of chemicals and very high cost of budgeting. The core of the project is to treat that yellow water effluent in a natural method without using any chemicals. We tried with many of the natural coagulants such as Vetiver, Guava leaf, Tamarind, Rose and more. But the result was not concluded. Hence, we got existing methodologies using natural materials and we colloid them to a single structure and the process carried. The process consists of a Dilution, Aeration and two filtrations of Sand filter and Carbon filter. While those yellow water passing through those chambers sequentially it gets its results as the Aeration part removes the foul odor while Sand and Carbon filters removing the color in the yellow water. Eventually the phenomenal result is achieved.

This study has identified the key factors of workplace creativity in the higher educational institution. Previous studies have provided evidence of the positive correlation between the performance level of students and employees. Similarly, past studies have also explained the close association between favorable cultural conditions and workforce performance. One of such cultural conditions is the culture of creativity and innovation. Many institutions are unable to perform due to lack of motivation among employees to exercise creativity in their work, which is the indication of weak cultural manifestation that provides support for creativity and innovation. Current study has identified twelve key visible practices among employees in the higher educational institutions from the past literature. These indicators were employed to factor-out four latent constructs: presence of challenge in job, motivation to take up the challenging tasks, freedom and flexibility in doing job, and availability of enough resources to experiment. Data was collected from 191 employees in eight institutions of higher education in UAE by using creativity scale questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis was initially employed to verify the structure of the proposed path model, and then relationships between indicators and underlying contracts were tested in the confirmatory factor analysis. Findings show that leadership role is an important element for the development of creative practices among employees, which provokes innovative approach in performing jobs. Employees are motivated in facing the challenges and finding the creative solutions. The study provides valuable information to the leaders in higher educational institutions and policymakers about the importance of the cultural factors which could be used as a criterion identifying presence or absence of workplace creativity and innovation.

A customer centric claim settlement system goes a long way in mitigating the anxiety of patients. At the time of buying Health Insurance, a customer is assured that the Health Insurance Company (HIC) will take care of the medical expenses, in case of his hospitalization. But when such an eventuality happens, many times HICs go back on their words based on procedural non-compliance or because of some conditions written in fine prints. Therefore, how HICs respond to the financial needs of the patients during the claim settlement is the real Moment of Truth. Failure on the part of the HICs in honoring their commitment leads to high Out of Pocket (OOP) Expenses and acute financial hardship to the patients. This article is important primarily because a customer always has an apprehension about the claim settlement. Hurdles one faces during claim settlement is a big contributor to the low customer satisfaction (LCS) which in turn contributes to poor Health Insurance penetration. On the other hand, false, ineligible and inflated claims adversely affect the business model of HICs. The article also highlights why the Incurred Claim Ratio (ICR) in Health Insurance is very high in India and why this has become a roadblock towards expansion of Health Insurance Market (HIM).

In today’s world of wealth centered and technology drivenhuman population, the dawning era of social entrepreneurship acts as an inception agent in finding solutions to nearly all the pivotal and despairing social, environmental and cultural problems prevailing in the society. Throughout history researches carried out on identifying the underlying factors motivating and supporting the evolution and sustainability of social entrepreneurship venture creation, has led to various constructive results. In an attempt to understand the triggering effect these social and entrepreneurial drive factors possess upon an individual’s social entrepreneurship intentions; it was observed that the paradoxical effect of the coexistence of the social and entrepreneurial drive factors on the sustainability of social entrepreneurship has received less attention. Seeking to scrutinize that gap in the literature, this paper aims at identifying the level of inclination social entrepreneurs exhibit towards the social and entrepreneurial drive factors in the process of social entrepreneurship venture creation and the degree of contribution these factors have towards the sustainability of those social ventures from in-person, structured interviews with social entrepreneurs across various fields of operations in Tamil Nadu. This paper follows multivariate analysis techniques for testing the interdependency association amongst the measurement variables measured under entrepreneurial and social drive elements influencing social entrepreneurship. The empirical findings of the paper show that, the entrepreneurial drive factors receive relatively less importance in comparison to the social interests of the entrepreneur. Thus this paper concludes that paradoxical effect between the social and entrepreneurial drive factors have a negative impact on the sustainability of the social enterprises. The paper discussion traces on ways to offset that negative impact and improve sustainability of social enterprises.

‘Automatic cooking machine’ as the name itself implies, cooking of food automatically without any human effort. Main aim is to make cooking easier, simple and less time consuming.[1] The machine will have pre-loaded recipes of your choice and the amount of ingredients will be specified in a C-language program, so you just have to choose the recipe you want to eat and the machine will start to prepare your food and notify you when the food is ready.[2] In present day scenario there is a rapid increase in inventions of machines which are based on automation process and they are used in every sector from home to industries. Our machine consists of induction cooker, bowls, oil and water pump, spice dispenser and some other components whose purpose is for stepwise addition of ingredients and cooking the food eventually. We have newly designed cooking pot which avoids the foods from burning. This machine can prepare food as close as food which can be prepared by a human hand.For communicating with the machine, we have installed a HMI interface through which we give command to the machine and every working process of the machine is controlled by Arduino2560 kit. This machine can be used in our day to day life and even in industries for mass production of certain food products.

There are various techniques which have been developed to improvise the modulation technique exploited in the system which were intended to enhance the data rate and bandwidth of the 5G network. Various researchers worked on OFDM modulation technique in order to enhance the efficiency as it is successfully working on 4G networks. Although utilization of OFDM in 5G networks will not provide the expected outcomes due to some flaws. This paper proposed a system that induced FBMC (Filter Bank Multi-Carrier) modulation technique which is capable of delivering higher spectral efficiency than OFDM. Proposed method employed APSK (Amplitude Phase Shift Modulation) for the modulation of sub carriers. The idea of implementing APSK in FBMC is to optimize the peak to average power ratio and also reduces bit error rate. The techniques proposed in the system, aimed to achieve high efficiency in terms of data rate and bandwidth with less power consumption. By using MATLAB all the simulations will be performed to analyze the results of spectral efficiency in terms of BER vs Eb/No (SNR) and power spectral density.

Time-lock encryption is a type of encryption in which the process is bound by a factor of time that enables previously impossible applications such as secure auctions, mortgage payment, key escrow, or fair multiparty computations. Existing solution approaches of time lock either employ computational overhead to calculate time or use analogues to map the real-world time, hence lacks reliability. We propose a reliable time-lock encryption scheme, where even receivers with relatively weak computational resources can decrypt the cipher after an accurate real-world deadline, without any interaction with the sender. Proposed solution uses time fetched from timeservers over secured https channel for time lock accuracy and strong AES-256 encryption/decryption techniques for reliability. The paper briefly discusses a java based prototype implementation of the proposed approach and the experimental results.
