This work presents a non-conventional alternative for cleaning polluted agriculture drainage network within a certain watershed. In Egypt, a need for using marginal quality water in agriculture applications is becoming a great necessity due to water shortage. One important strategy to increase available water resources is to reuse agriculture drainage water for irrigation application. The water system, especially drainage network receives a remarkable amount of pollution (raw and partially treated wastewater). That results to an increase in organic load to an unacceptable level, accordingly, the water quality of the drainage water has been negatively affected and the "reuse" plan has been threatened. Fast-Track In-stream Action (FTIA) is an ongoing fast action suggested to control the pollution of drainage water within a certain watershed to make it more suitable for reuse practice. FTIA as a quick interfere will skip long-term processes of conventional water treatment stages to get satisfactory results in proper time. It presents a practical immediate solution to achieve acceptable level of water quality rather than waiting for full improvement through long-term and expensive conventional programs. In this study a biological maintenance solution was applied and tested in both bench and field scales to assess its efficiency in improving the water quality within selected watershed. An evaluation of this fast-track process was done by measuring a significant key water quality parameters (WQPs) at designed locations of the study area before, during and after application of material. For better explanation of overall water quality and proper comparison, a weighted arithmetic water quality index (AWQI) has been discussed based on eight selected WQPs. In addition to a bench-scale test, two other field investigations were adopted: the first one investigates the effects of fast-track resources when applying the bio-based material under high flow condition with intermediate shock flow (study area "1"), while the other one examine the application of material under low flow condition with intermediate shock pollution load (study area "2"). All indicators, including aesthetics showed improvements in selected WQPs and AWQI during the investigation period

A sandwich panel is a lightweight structure, economical and having low thermal conductivity. It is made up of three layers in which the middle layer is called core which is bounded with thin layers at top and bottom called faces. Generally, the core has relatively low-density which makes it lightweight. The buckling load analysis of sandwich panel having isotropic core and orthotropic faces is studied for different support conditions using the FE based software ABAQUS. The FE model is validated with suitable published results. Then it is used to find critical buckling load of sandwich panel with isotropic core and orthotropic faces. Many new results have been presented for different thickness, end conditions, aspect ratio, etc.

This study aimed to investigate abrasion resistance, flexural toughness and impact resistance of concrete mixes with incorporated particles of crumb rubber (CR) as a partial substituent by volume to concrete natural aggregates. Seven concrete mixes were prepared with water to cement ratio 0.4 and cement content 450 kg/m3 . One mix, with no rubber content, was considered as a reference mix to compare the designated mechanical properties of plain rubberized mixes, while the remaining six mixes contained crumb rubber as a partial replacer at levels of 10%, 20% and 30% by volume of each sand and crushed stone aggregates. Abrasion resistance was evaluated according to British standard BS 1338 and impact resistance was measured according to ACI 544.2R. It has been discovered that increasing CR replacement level led to a significant improvement in abrasion resistance, flexural toughness, and impact resistance (number of blows that cause failure cracking). Abrasion lengths decreased by 3.0 - 20.6%, while flexural toughness and impact resistance increased by 8.2 - 39.4% and 18.7 - 365.4% respectively with increasing crumb rubber replacement level.

Big Data is a collection of large or vast amount of information that grows at ever increasing rates. Big data is ordered, unstructured, semi structured or mixed data in natural world. Researchers are designing, implementing, analyzing different application. In medicinal industry large or vast amount of data is available but people are not able to extract the significant information. Healthcare big data analytics (HBDA) becomes “Healthier analytics” by fusion of techniques. In this paper, we discuss and implement algorithms of clustering using R-Studio tool. Clustering is defined as the method of partitioning set of patterns into similar groups called as clusters. We can extract the data from vast datasets in the form of clustering rules. These clustering techniques are scalable. Also, we compare the accuracies of two partition based clustering techniques k-means and Clara on healthcare datasets for giving good quality of healthcare services. Implemented results demonstrate the k-means method gives better accuracy values than Clara algorithm.

The image captured by camera is degraded by various atmospheric parameters for example rain, storm, wind, haze, snow. The removing haze is called dehazing, is naturally done in the physical degradation model that requires a resolution of an ill-posed inverse problem. In this paper discussion and e relative study of Adaptive Histogram Equalization (AHE) as well as Contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and dark channel prior (DCP). This article suggest image and video dehazing technique working on DCP method. The DCP is resulted from the characteristics of images taken in outdoor that the value of intensity inside the local window is nearly equal to zero. The DCP system has good haze elimination and color managing potential for the images with various angles of haze. The dehazing is done using following four major steps: atmospheric light estimation, transmission map estimation, transmission map refinement, and image reconstruction. This solution of four step DCP will give solution to ill-posed inverse problem. This dehazing techniques can be used in advanced driverless assisted systems in autonomous cars, satellite imaging, underwater imaging etc.

The current education ecosystem is moving towards centralized online blended learning. Online learning repositories have replaced traditional libraries. Learning repositories contain learning materials, which can be located with the help of associated metadata. Associating metadata to the content (definition, program, example, figure, and table) of individual learning concept (topic) from the learning material also leads to a better search. If a student knows the prerequisites of the topic s/he wants to learn then the study of current topic would be more fruitful. The prerequisites of a computer science topic can be obtained from its explanation and the programming code snippet used for its implementation. This paper proposes a metadata “code construct as a prerequisite of a code snippet”. For example “recursion and function call are prerequisite to understand recursive module of binary tree traversal”. It also proposes the framework to automatically identify, extract and present the code constructs used in code snippets included in a computer science learning material. Thus obtained list of code constructs act as prerequisites for understanding the corresponding code snippet. Rule-based pattern mining approach is used for the identification of code snippet in the learning material and identification of code constructs in the code snippet. A pattern set is designed for the same. Natural language tool kit of python is used to identify the code snippet. The algorithms are tested on the programs of C, C++ and Java. Accuracy and efficiency of the developed algorithms is checked against the manual results given by subject experts. An average F1 score of 92% is obtained.

Medical imaging is the procedure and approach of formulating graphic models of the peculiarity of a body system for medical investigation and treatment, and also graphical illustration of the function of several internal organs or structures. To identify the affected tissues of the brain in a case of brain tumors, it is important to get high precision and accuracy to locate exact pixels. Manual analysis may be erroneous and so it is important to use deep learning image segmentation technique. Segmentation of graphic is the technique of dividing a graphic in to several group of pixels. The earlier objective of the segmentation is actually to produce details much easier and enhance the manifestation of clinical images into significant content. Segmentation is a complicated activity due to the excessive variability in the graphics. The computational intelligence is modern way for application automation. Existing studies shows need of deep learning research for fast and accurate medical imaging solutions. Hence, this paper presents the CNN framework (for an analysis of brain tumors) as a base for further research methodology development. The paper also provides a pilot research analysis that can further be used to develop improved precision and visibility.

The use of Light-Weight Concrete (LWC) in modern construction has resulted in efficient designs and considerable cost savings by reducing structural own weight and supporting footings sections. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Lap-Splice behavior between LWC and steel reinforcement (RFT). The tested specimens were divided into four groups to study the effect of main variables: steel reinforcement bar size, internal confinement (stirrups), splice length and concrete cover thickness. Four-point bending tests were carried out on test specimens to evaluate the performance of lap splices under pure bending. Bond behavior and failure modes were noted to be similar in the normal concrete and in the LWC. In tested beams, it was observed that the bar size has a significant influence on the mean bond stress in the splice. Improving radial tensile strength by using increasing stirrups number improves the bond behavior. The splice length up to 35 times bar diameter decreased the moment capacity of beam. The splice length of 55 times bar diameter results in the same capacity of the beam without any splice.

Many researchers have been working on bio-based lubricant which is complete or partial replacement for mineralbased lubricant. Mineral-based lubricant is highly pollutant and possesses environmental threat as it is not biodegradable, in the initial days of the industrial revolution bio-based lubricants were widely used, later it was replaced by more sustainable and easily available but environmental polluting mineral oils, currently due to environmental concerns and scarcity of mineral oils, bio-based lubricant has gained importance. Bio-based lubricants are now a day’s used for various applications such as transformer oil and processes where there is complete loss of lubricants. They possess very good properties in such applications, whereas bio-based lubricants are also used internal combustion engines, pure biobased lubricant may not be suitable for long-duration, but genetically and chemically modified bio-based lubricants will be suitable for IC engine. Though bio-based lubricant possesses many good properties as a lubricant for IC engine and various other application, it is still at large to become commercial, more study is required for checking performance of such pure and modified bio-based lubricants oils, in this paper such study of cotton seed Trimethylolpropane (TMP) ester oil and its effects on performance of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTh) and emission of gases like hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2 ) nitrogen oxides (NOx ) are studied, bio-based have poor cold flow properties and oxidation stability to improve these additives are added. The experimental study shows that Cottonseed Trimethylolpropane Ester (CSTE) displays similar characteristics of thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and emission of gases as compared to mineralbased lubricating oil hence can be used in the IC engine instead of mineral-based lubricants.

Published: March 2020

Online grocery shopping is trending worldwide as one of the most expedient e‑commerce practice. Many people have started purchasing their grocery online and this has given the opportunity to the researchers to identify and analyse the factors that influence the consumers for making online purchases. We have observed that until around 5 years back, the daily grocery requirements of the Indian consumers were fulfilled by the local kirana store and to some extent by the emerging hypermarkets/supermarket. But, with the popularity of internet and penetration of smartphones into the daily lives of the people, several online grocery stores have been able to penetrate the Indian markets. The busy lives of people especially the urban working population, makes the online grocery shopping a popular choice. With traditional households still being widely spread in the Indian society, the online companies need to have a resounding approach to influence the buying habits and shopping patterns of the consumers. The aim of this study is to understand the attitude of Indian consumers towards online grocery shopping and determine the factors that influence the consumer decision making to shop groceries online. The primary data is collected using a well-thought-out questionnaire in the form of an online survey. Data collected was analysed to determine the consumer attitude towards online grocery shopping. The findings of the study show that the consumers are influenced by various factors like time saving and convenience provided by the online grocery shopping platforms. They are also influenced by the quality of products and the return policy as well as the level of comfort while using the online shopping website/ app. We have also been able to understand the reasons that prevent people from online shopping. Some people find themselves lacking the technical skills to shop online, but most people who do not shop online like going to the market personally. In case of online shopping, an area of concern for most shoppers is trust on the online applications. People are concerned about the privacy of their personal information while shopping online and needs thoughtfulness of the retailers to encourage more consumers to opt for online shopping platforms. In this paper we have comprehensively explored different areas associated with online grocery shopping and this study can be advantageous for the online grocery retailers to articulate effective policies to gain customer confidence towards online grocery shopping.

The schooling of tertiary level is a source of culture for any nation and this issue has always been a major public concern. The success of this level depends on various issues that can influence the students to gather knowledge. Among them, class participation is vital for understanding the course contents. The education system of Bangladesh is almost sound and well-organized in all levels including tertiary stage. Even so sometimes, students are unwilling to attend in the classroom for a number of reasons. In this study, we measured how previous absence of a student impact on their further absence. Markov Chain is a mathematical tool that identified the chance of previous absence effect on the recent absent. In another methods, logistic regression showed the dependency of today’s absence on previous absence. In this work, we got, the previous day absence influenced the student to continue his/her absent on the current day. Therefore, students’ continuous class participation is important and any sorts of discontinuity makes a barrier to participate in the next class.

In spite of all the advantages while using networks in any form, there are large numbers of possible security issues that are rising with networking. To sort the security issues network security is the action that is intended to safe guard the resources and integrity of network and data. At work stations there are filters, firewall to protect. But while data in transmission security services are needed and frequent change in methods are to be developed to counter threats. In this work different methods like pseudorandom generation and multiple genetic algorithms are used that resembles quite different in nature. This proposed hybrid algorithm can be used in small business applications where they are frequently hacked. Small organizations that cannot afford to build a strong security system can use such hybrid systems.

Today the leading cause of attack is traffic distribution that affects transmission as well as network performance. Traditionally the mechanism is utilized for detecting traffic distribution is not so accurate, user friendly and also they are time consuming. Therefore in this paper a hybrid approach is used that detect attacks by eliminating replicated features. It utilizes TDE with bisection mechanism that has great attack detection rate The result of the proposed system as compared to existing system is better by the margin of 8 to 10%.. The primary reason for the betterment is because of contrast enhancement and scaling factor at pre-processing and objective function overhead consideration at segmentation and classification phase. The results are shown in terms of accuracy, PSNR and MSE.

This study aims to determine the promotion strategy on the admission of new students at the university. Universities need appropriate promotion strategies to increase the number of new students enrolled in subsequent years and to fulfill the equal distribution of new students in each region and study programs at the University. Classification of new student data reception at the Indo Global Mandiri University (IGM University) in 2018/2019 uses the CRISP-DM data mining application (the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) using the K-Means grouping method. Research data using primary and secondary data. The population and sample of the study were 1011 students using 4 (four) attributes in this study, namely the name of the student, the area of origin, the study program, and the promotion strategy (direct visit, word of mouth, media, brochures, and coming directly). This test is carried out with the Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA) 3.8 tool. The results of this study indicate that the direct visit strategy is the most appropriate in the admission of new students at IGM University, amounting to 492 students with 26%, with this strategy being able to absorb many new student candidates from various regions including Palembang, Regency / City, and regions in outside South Sumatra, there is also equality in various study programs at IGM University. Word of mouth promotion strategies and media are optimized to be included in the promotion team in determining the promotion strategies in the following year to increase the number of new student admissions.

Optical polarizing thin film is an optical filter enables light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. Optical polarizing thin films control the brightness of back-light unit for LCD (liquid crystal display) panel, which is essential to produce LCD modules. Defect inspection of polarizing thin films is an important feature during the manufacturing process that is helpful to improve the product quality. In the current study, an automated defect inspection algorithm is introduced and incorporated with a well-known non-destructive and non-contact optical inspection method called spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to pre-identify defective sub-surface as well as top-surface locations of optical polarizing thin films Polarizing thin films employed in this study consist of 6 layers. The tomographic information, layer information, and defective locations were sufficiently identified through the SD-OCT system owing high-axial resolution. The acquired results indicate the possible application of the proposed system in optical polarizing thin films for the quality assurance.
