Authors: Bhat Varadraj , Pai Prasad
Published: June 2018

This paper focuses on an electronic toll collection (ETC) system using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). Research on ETC was started in 1992, during which RFID tags began to be widely used in vehicles to automate toll processes. The proposed RFID system uses tags that are mounted on the windshields of vehicles, through which information embedded on the tags are read by RFID readers. This eliminates the need for motorists and toll authorities to manually perform ticket payments and toll fee collection. The Data of each vehicle crossing the toll gate is stored in the website. A LCD screen is also provided for user convenience.The toll Gate arena is monitored by means of a camera at all times. Data information are also easily exchanged between the motorists and toll authorities, thereby enabling a more efficient toll collection by reducing traffic jams and eliminating possible human errors.

Published: June 2018

As IT sector is ruling the world now,confidentiality and security of information has become the most important inseparable aspect in information communication system. Keeping in view the same, a new approach called Visual Cryptography (VC) has been suggested by many researchers but there are some limitations with this scheme and cheating is one of the main problem among them. This paper intends to show the basis of cheating in VC in terms of cheating process, its detection methods and its prevention methods suggested by various researchers along with their merits and demerits. Finally, a good Cheating Immune Visual Cryptography Scheme (CIVCS) has been discussed which states the properties to be adopted by every Visual Cryptography scheme to make it immune to cheating attacks.
A Comparative Approach for Standard Shadow Detection Methods
Authors: . Kavita , Sabnis Manoj K
Published: June 2018

False tracking is the biggest problem identified in tracking. The reasons for this is identified as shadow of the object to be tracked which have their shape mapping to the shape of the object.  Dynamic shadow detection is the field in which videos are used. Dynamic shadow detection is found to be more exposed in literature due to the possibility of comparison, frame differentiation, background subtraction. All this not being possible in case of static images as they represent a single frame and are not used to that extent. Taking this as a challenge this paper presents static shadow detection in which the static shadow detection methods are mapped with dynamic images within the domain of image processing.The results so obtained are then authenticated from the user side. Every user may have different views, so as to bring the evaluation at a standard level this qualitative evaluation is quantified so as to be represented in form of tables and graphs for further analysis.

Evaluation of Capacity of Salandi Reservoir Using Remote Sensing Data Along With Qgis Software
Authors: Dhal Rupali , Satapathy D. P.
Published: June 2018

The dynamic aspects of the reservoir which are water spread, suspended sediment distribution and concentration requires regular and periodical mapping and monitoring. Sedimentation in a reservoir affects the capacity of the reservoir by affecting both life and dead storages. The life of a reservoir depends on the rate of siltation. The various aspects and behavior of the reservoir sedimentation, like the process of sedimentation in the reservoir, sources of sediments, measures to check the sediment and limitations of space technology have been discussed in this report. Multi satellite remote sensing data provide information on elevation contours in the form of water spread area. Any reduction in reservoir water spread area at a specified elevation corresponding to the date of satellite data is an indication of sediment deposition. Thus the quality of sediment load that is settled down over a period of time can be determined by evaluating the change in the aerial spread of the reservoir at various elevations. Salandi reservoir project work was completed in 1982 and the same is taken as the year of first impounding. The original gross and live storages capacities were 565 MCM& 556.50 MCM respectively. In SRS CWC (2009), they found that live storage capacity of the Salandi reservoir is 518.61 MCM witnessing a loss of 37.89 MCM (i.e. 6.81%) in a period of 27 years.The data obtained through satellite enables us to study the aspects on various scales and at different stages. This report comprises of the use of satellite to obtain data for the years 2009-2013 through remote sensing in the sedimentation study of Salandi reservoir. After analysis of the satellite data in the present study(2017), it is found that live capacity of the reservoir of the Salandi reservoir in 2017 is 524.19MCM witnessing a loss of 32.31 MCM (i.e. 5.80%)in a period of 35 years. This accounts for live capacity loss of 0.16 % per annum since 1982. The trap efficiencies of this reservoir evaluated by using Brown’s, Brune’s and Gill’s methods are 94.03%, 98.01and 99.94% respectively. Thus, the average trap efficiency of the Salandi Reservoir is obtained as 97.32%.

Extracting of Positive and Negative Association Rules
Authors: Gandhimathi D. , Anbazhagan N.
Published: June 2018

Association rules analysis is a basic technique to expose how items/patterns are associated to each other. There are two common ways to measure association such as Support and Confidence. Several methods have been proposed in the literature to diminish the number of extracted association rules. Association Rule Mining is one of the greatest current data mining techniques designed to group objects together from huge databases aiming to take out the motivating correlation and relation with massive quantity of data. Association rule mining is used to discover the associated patterns from datasets. In this paper, we propose association rules from new methods on web usage mining. Generally, web usage log structure has several records so we have to overcome those unwanted records from large dataset. First of all the pre-processed data from the NASA dataset is clustered by the popular K-Means algorithm. Subsequently, the matrix calculation is progressed on that data. Further, the associations are performed on filtered data and get rid of the final associated page results. Positive and negative association rules are gathered by using new algorithm with Annul Object (𝒜𝒪). Wherever the object “𝒜𝒪” is presented those rules are known as negative association rule.  Otherwise, the rules are positive association rules.
Feature Selection Clustering for Gene Data
Authors: Kumaresan P K
Published: June 2018

Clustering is inherently a difficult task and is made even more difficult when the selection of relevant features is also an issue. In this paper , an algorithm is  proposed which makes  feature selection an integral part of the global clustering  search procedure and attempts to overcome the problem of identifying less promising locally optimal solution in both clustering and feature selection. The proposed method uses genetic algorithm to preserve the population diversity and prevent premature convergence. The algorithm is implemented in Matlab 7.4 under windows operating system. The results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in terms of accuracy.

Authors: Tambe Shubhangi Sandeep
Published: June 2018

he concept of Smart Cities was first thought of by IBM in 2008 when world was facing its worst economic crisis. Then it was taken up by various countries around the world. The main objective here is to build and promote the cities which will provide the core infrastructure and provide the decent quality of life along with a clean and long-lasting environment which will be supported by smart technologies & solutions. Though smart city concepts are very new to India, where technology is mostly used in urban cities. So, in such a scenario one may ask a very basic question that “How a city can be made Smart?”. So, if we look around and see what are the things that some smart cities around the world are doing differently, then we may notice that they have addressed basic issues faced by any metropolitan city in a smarter way possible. For instance, we can see that the already developed smart city projects have addressed transportation, energy, crime, water management & other issues using current technologies & applications. If we leave aside the technology gap between rural & urban India, it is certain that Urban areas are already in need of Smart City Projects because of Population. But again, this needs a strong political will power to take quick decisions and aligned with technological advances such as E governance, online tendering of the government work which will be transparent and efficient. but often it is misunderstood that use of IT in administration and governance is the only meaning of Smart City Projects, but in fact if you are able to achieve all the issues such as administration, governance, transportation, water management, energy supplies, waste management, water treatments plants, meaningful use of public private partnerships in managing transportations and road constructions and evening installations of solar panels and LED bulbs across city. So basically, there are many factors contributing to create a smart city. The main factor which will drive this kind of ambitious projects are political will powers of government, without a political will power it is very difficult to complete the bigger projects. As there is lot on stake for such a large-scale project which will easily span over next decade.

A Study on Impact of Demonetization of Currency in Indian Banking Scenario
Authors: Raj E. Daniel Santhosh
Published: June 2018

The aim behind the government’s action was to combat tax cheating, counterfeiting and corruption. Eliminating large denominations makes it harder to hide large amounts of cash.The government’s demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes is a contentious issue, but is understandable. Such schemes may have not worked in the past, but a political commitment had to be honoured. The question is not whether the government is right for demonetising the currency; instead, the concerns are centred on why they adopted this chaotic and surreptitious approach.It is a radical financial step in which a currency unit's status as a legal tender is declared invalid. This move is usually executed when old currencies have to be replaced by new one's or whenever there is a change of national currency. However, given the extent to which the project has to be executed, the move has to be well planned in advance.

Published: June 2018

In India, Kerala is the largest producer of pepper, accounting over 50 per cent of India’s total output followed by Karnataka and Tamilnadu. But, at a time when black pepper production has seen a drastic fall due to climate change, the unexpected rise in the price of pepper has brought cheer to farmers in Kerala.“The influx of pepper from Vietnam and Sri Lanka was the main reason for the fall in pepper price in the Indian market,” said Binoy Kurian, a spices merchant in Kattappana.“When cheaper pepper from these countries continued to flood the market, the price of pepper produced domestically gradually decreased. There was also a stagnation in the market due to the low price as farmers were not ready to sell their produce.”Hence, the study theoretically analyzes the pepper cultivation, variation in the production and yield rate and cost of cultivation of pepper in Kerala state. Secondary data has been used for the study which includes reports from Department of Economics and Statistics, Indian Agricultural Statistics and other National and International Journals.

Published: June 2018

Machine learning techniques usually require a large number of training samples to achieve maximum benefit. In this case, limited training samples are not enough to learn models; recently there has been a growing interest in machine learning methods that can exploit knowledge from such other tasks to improve performance. Multi-task learning was proposed to solve this problem. Multi-task learning is a machine learning paradigm for learning a number tasks simultaneously, exploiting commonalities between them. When there are relations between the tasks to learn, it can be advantageous to learn all these tasks simultaneously instead of learning each task independently. In this paper, we propose translate language from source language to target language using Multi-task learning, for our need building a relation extraction system between the words in the texts, we applied related tasks ( part-of-speech , chunking and named entity recognition) and train it's in parallel on annotated data using hidden markov model, Experiments of text translation task show that our proposed work can improve the performance of a translation task with the help of other related tasks.

üretimle birlikte ortaya çıkan çalışma pratiklerine odaklanılmakta, yeni
çalışma kültürünün ve buna bağlı olarak dönüşen birey yaklaşımının anlaşılması
için çalışılmaktadır. Esnek üretimden önce var olan çalışma anlayışı ile
karşılaştırma yapılacak olan çalışmada, dönüşümün net bir şekilde ortaya
çıkarılması amaçlanmaktadır. Richard Sennett’ın bu dönüşümü nasıl
değerlendirdiğine, yeni üretim biçimi ile birlikte çalışma ile ilgili
anlamlarda ortaya çıkan değişime odaklanılacaktır. Üretim düzeni ile ilgili
süreçlerin esnetilmesine dayanan yeni üretim anlayışı ile kısa zamana odaklanmış
hedeflerin belirlenmesinin, kısa süreli sözleşmelerle ya da geçici çalışma
anlayışının yaygınlaşmasının insanların çalıştıkları kurumlarla, yapmakta
oldukları işlerle ve birlikte çalıştıkları insanlarla kurdukları bağların zayıflamasına
yol açtığı görülecektir. Bu durumun ‘makbul’ bir birey anlayışı tanımlamasını beraberinde
getirdiği; geçmişini kolaylıkla geride bırakabilen, yeni süreçlere uyum
sağlamaya açık, kısa sürede yeni çözümler üretebilen, yeni ortam ya da işlere
kolaylıkla uyum sağlayabilen insanların yeni üretim anlayışı ile tercih edilir
oldukları görülmektedir. Tüm bu kriterlerin ilk bakışta sorunlu olmadığı
düşünülmekle birlikte insanların geçmişleri ile kurdukları bağın
değersizleştirildiği, esnek üretimden önce değerli görülen deneyimlerin bu
süreçle birlikte anlamsızlaştığı; tüm bunlara bağlı olarak sadakat, özveri,
bağlılık gibi duyguların da olumsuz olarak algılanmaya başlandığı
görülmektedir. Bunlara bağlı olarak geleceğin belirsizliği karşısında yaşanılan
güvensizliğin insanlar üzerinde ciddi tahribata yol açtığı savunulmaktadır.

Medyanın terörün temsilinde kullandığı dil
ve söylem toplumsal uzlaşıyı sağlamaya, barışın tesis edilmesine yönelik
olabildiği gibi kamuoyunda infial yaratacak ya da terörizmin amacına hizmet
edecek şekilde de kurgulanabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı medya
kuruluşlarının benimsemiş oldukları yayın politikaları ve ideolojik yapılarının
terör haberlerinin sunumunda kullanılan dile ve haber söylemlerine yansımasını
ortaya koymaktır. Bu bağlamda 10 Ekim2015’ te Ankara Garı’nda ve 13 Mart
2016’da Ankara Güvenpark’ ta meydana gelen bombalı terör saldırılarının
aktarımda belirlenen gazetelerin üretmiş oldukları haber söylemleri terörün
temsili üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada yöntem olarak Teun van Dijk’in
geliştirmiş olduğu söylem analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Türkiye’de sosyalist
yayın politikalarına sahip Evrensel ve Birgün gazetelerinde bu iki olayla
ilgili yayınlanmış olan haberlerdeki terörle ilgili söylem yapıları analiz
edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda elde edilen bulgular; ele alınan gazetelerin
her iki terör saldırısının haberleştirilmesinde kullanmış oldukları söylem
pratiklerinin, çerçevelerinin ve yapılarının farklılık arz ettiğini ortaya
koymaktadır.
A Computationally Intelligent Power Transmission Expansion Strategy in a Deregulated Energy System

Published: June 2018

This paper aims to simulate a computationally intelligent electrical power transmission expansion system and study the factors affecting power transmission expansion in a deregulated energy system to improve on the current economic conditions. The main problem facing most power system transmission is the failure to actually forecast the load expansion accurately this leads to failure in the transmission expansion design. a hybrid algorithm for the ac/dc transmission expansion planning (HTEP) andÂ  multi algebraic formulation of the stochastic TEP model in a multi-stage planning framework will be used to analyze theÂ  transmission expansion system, optimization problem will considers a weightedÂ  sum of multiple objectives including cost of operation and maintenance, emission, load shedding and line investments, simulation method would consider random outages of generating units and ac/dc transmission lines as well as load forecast .The independent system operator would utilize the proposed method to select the optimal set of ac/dc transmission lines for satisfying TEP criteria. The proposed set of dc transmission system may use either current source converters or voltage source converters. The proposed algorithms are simulated on IEEE 24-bus reliability test system (RTS) and Gernerâ€™s 6 bus systemÂ Â  to compare optimal plans between the original and equivalent system. Further assumptions and adjustments are searched and tested to get more accurate optimal plans. results obtained showed that the hybrid model was capable of handling future generation and load patterns in deregulated, unbundled, and competitive electricity system. the results of the study showed the hybrid model was tested in the Gernerâ€™s 6 bus system and the expansion model after a load forecast. On the IEEE 24-bus system showed that the hybrid expansion model was able to take care of the load forecast for future expansion.
The characteristics of the state housing policy implemented in modern Russia
Authors:   Industrial University of Tyumen, Zenkina Marina Valentinovna
Published: June 2018

The research analyzes the problems of housing pol-icy implemented in Russia by the state. It includes a narrow range of types of housing provided for citi-zens, the lack of interest of federal authorities in developing other ways to address housing problems except for homeownership, lots of administrative delays in house-building, the problematic registra-tion of land title in particular cases, monopolist de-velopers and construction-related suppliers. The above-mentioned issues prove that there are no science-based housing strategy and housing policy developed in this regard. Besides, it is necessary to meet the challenges set forth in the research.
Legal personality of transnational corporations
Authors: Gigineyshvili Maria Teymurazovna ,   North Caucasus branch of  Russian State University of Justice
Published: June 2018

The research discusses whether transnational cor-porations (TNCs) can be recognized as subjects of international and private international law. The tradi-tional theory excludes TNCs from the list of subjects of international law due to its inability to create rules of international law. However, the scientists are of opposing views on this issue in recent times. Having studied the doctrine and treaty rules, for example ICSID Convention and UNCLOS, the author con-cludes that transnational corporations possess functional legal personality on the international level while in private international law its personality is composed of separate personality of each company which is a part of a transnational corporation. In all other cases, TNCs are supposed to be an actor of international law.
Concerning the presumption of illegality in the Administrative Procedure Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Sidelnik Ivan Mikhailovich ,   Kutafin Moscow State Law University
Published: June 2018

The paper discusses the feasibility of theoretical identification of the presumption of illegality of the legal act. The reasons for the failure of this legal assumption are determined. The focus is on the negative consequences that can arise if the pre-sumption of illegality is consolidated in the current legislation. The author considers the concept of legality and its content. The research reveals the substantive, formal, and system-based requirements of legality to be met by a legal act. The scope of le-gality is established. The research describes the specific features of proof when considering pro-ceedings related to challenging legal acts. In the author’s opinion, the failure to fulfill the obligation to prove the legality of the legal act by the state au-thorities encourages the judiciary to take active measures on its part. The court activity calls into question the need to identify the presumption of illegality in such proceedings.
Concerning the mechanism to protect the rights of a victim when lodging an appeal
Authors:   Kuban State University, Titkov Aleksandr Valeryevich
Published: June 2018

The research discusses the right of appeal, its im-portance for the protection of the rights and legiti-mate interests of a victim, the requirements for the appeal, their types and consequences of their non-compliance. The research explains the victim’s right to obtain first instance judgment and appellate court judgment, considers the procedure for lodging an appeal and examines the ratio between the subject of appeal and appeal describing the violations committed. The time limit for appeal is analyzed; the term of victim’s appeal against the judgment should be reconsidered. The research discusses the en-hancement of mechanisms to enforce and respect the rights of a victim to take part in appeal proceed-ings. If there is a proper request of a victim, it is of-fered to admit his compulsory involvement in the court of appeal. It is proposed to amend the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation to allow a victim on a par with the defense to be served by court agents both for a fee and free of charge.

The problems of navigation development on the Northern Sea Route have been a focus of research-ers around the world for many years. However, the scientists have placed emphasis on the increased international use of the Northern Sea Route only in the last few decades. The study discusses the stra-tegic development of the Northern Sea Route and identifies the possibilities of integrating the route into the world transport system. The research re-veals the key problems impeding the development of international navigation on the track. The political and legal review of the issue is presented as well. One of the key points is the fact that the water area of the Northern Sea Route is not enshrined in inter-national treaties, although it is used in international publications and national instruments, which, in turn, raises the issue of securitization as a response to a set of restrictions on addressing the security problems in the region. The research postulates that the development of the Northern Sea Route is one of the strategic objectives of Russia today.
