with the tremendous increase in population and changing lifestyle of people, plastic has inevitably become a part of human life. In India about 5.6 million tonnes is generated as plastic waste per annum which leads to 15,342 TPD (tonnes per day). About 70% of plastic consumed is discarded as waste. Plastics have already started showing its alarming signs such as land pollution, ocean pollution, release of poisonous gases, soil infertility, immune disorder in birds etc. A prospective appeal to this is usage of plastic granules which are produced from low density polyethylene and high density polyethylene in concrete as a replacement of fine aggregate. The aim of this research is to compare the strength characteristics of conventional concrete of grade M20 with the plastic concrete. A potential application of plastic concrete is pavement base, sub base and lightweight concrete construction.

The word ‘Web-based learning’ sounds good but smells bad when it comes to share the study material online in context of copyright laws. The current problem is that teachers are under the impression that everything they want to share with their students online finds protection under the Doctrine of Fair use under Copyrights law but the unfortunate part is he is totally unaware about the fact that sharing the study material online may not qualify as fair use if the same is shared with students enrolled in an online course outside the campus. The need of the present paper is to make Universities and teachers working there aware about the use of Web based learning without violating the copyright laws of the land. The paper is purely conceptual and only available literatures have been taken in updating the paper following the doctrinal method of study.

Relational databases are holding the maximum amount of data underpinning the web. They show excellent record of convenience and efficiency in repository, optimized query execution, scalability, security and accuracy. Recently graph databases are seen as an good replacement for relational database. When compared to the relational data model, graph data model is more vivid, strong and data expressed in it models relationships among data properly. An important requirement is to increase the vast quantities of data stored in RDB into web. In this situation, migration from relational to graph format is very advantageous. Both databases have advantages and limitations depending on the form of queries. Thus, this paper converts relational to graph database by utilizing the schema in order to develop a dual database system through migration, which merges the capability of both relational db and graph db. The experimental results are provided to demonstrate the practicability of the method and query response time over the target database. The proposed concept is proved by implementing it on MySQL and Neo4j.

Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is an efficient and effective least-square-based learning algorithm for classification, regression problems based on single hidden layer feed-forward neural network (SLFN). It has been shown in the literature that it has faster convergence and good generalization ability for moderate datasets. But, there is great deal of challenge involved in computing the pseudoinverse when there are large numbers of hidden nodes or for large number of instances to train complex pattern recognition problems. To address this problem, a few approaches such as EM-ELM, DF-ELM have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, a new rank-based matrix decomposition of the hidden layer matrix is introduced to have the optimal training time and reduce the computational complexity for a large number of hidden nodes in the hidden layer. The results show that it has constant training time which is closer towards the minimal training time and very far from worst-case training time of the DF-ELM algorithm that has been shown efficient in the recent literature.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have numerous advantages like easy deployment, scalability, no need of infrastructure etc. Apart these features the main drawback of WSN is limited power capacity of the sensor nodes. Hence nodes are unable to perform communication for long time duration as their limited battery power. Receive signal strength (RSS) is a prime attribute within wireless communication because lower RSS value leads to more power consumption for data transmission. This paper introduces RSS based approach to improve the power utilization of sensor nodes. A Node near to base station transmits data directly without clustering process. A weight parameter calculated for cluster head selection using RSS value of a node and geographic location of the nodes. The propose method works on heterogeneous network like SEP technique. Different power level assign to the sensor node as per distance from base station. The first group of nodes is normal nodes they transmit data directly to the base station. The proposed method balances the energy of all nodes and helps to improve total lifetime of sensor networks. The proposed method performs well compare with existing methods to improve network lifetime and total number of packet transmission.

Sisal fiber reinforced composites are being replaced with manmade composites as these materials are difficult to manufacture and non biodegradable. On the other hand, the natural fiber reinforced composites such as sisal fiber reinforced composites shows less strength compared to manmade composites. The objective of the present work is to explore the mechanical properties of sisal fiber composites and hybrid sisal composites using analytical and experimental methods. The sisal composites and hybrid sisal composites are prepared by using hand layup techniques. The hybrid composites are prepared by reinforcing nano carbon powder and sisal fibers in a polymer matrix with the weight fraction of 9% of carbon powder and 50% of sisal fiber. The elastic modulus of polymer matrix with carbon powder reinforcement and polymer matrix, carbon powder and sisal fiber reinforced composites are identified by conducting suitable experiments. Later by using the finite element method, the fracture behavior of sisal fiber composites and hybrid composites are estimated. The energy released (ER) and energy required to create the surface (ES) are estimated to identify the critical crack length of the respective material. The present work is used for the design of sisal fiber composites with respect to young’s modulus and fracture response.

Published: August 2019

Current assessment get through to the effect of spout strength aimed at spout impact cooling through water-Al2O3 nanofluid. CFD codes got established to compute the governing equalities of mass, force and drive for envisaging the thermal issues. CFD codes got executed through water-Al2O3 nanofluid spouts to envisage thermal issues on the chosen plate. It uses 3 mm nozzle dimension, 5 mm nozzle to plate distance and varying spout strengths of 42, 52, 62 and 72 m/s. As projected from every temperature arena, the temperature gently grows from spout impact spot on chosen plate along centrifugally peripheral course. This could stand because of thermal outflow using water-Al2O3 nanofluid. The developments of temperature disparities alongside the radial course aimed at the identified cases are really similar. Still, the extreme temperatures over the chosen plate for situations with spout strengths of 42, 52, 62 and 72 m/s are detected to remain 320, 315, 310 and 308 K, respectively. It may be witnessed that there is no such significant decrease in temperature from spout strength of 62 to 72 m/s (involving loss of extra mechanical power). Hence, the spout strength of 62 m/s embraces rather lesser mean temperature and so, it stands as the ideal one.

The dynamic hand gesture is an essential and important research topic in human-computer interaction. Recently, Deep convolutional neural network gives excellent performance in this area and gets promising results. But the Researcher had focused less attention on the feature extraction process, unification of frame, various fusion scheme and sequence-to-sequence prediction of a frame. Therefore, in this paper, we have presented an effective 2D CNN architecture with three stream networks and advances weighted feature fusion scheme with the gated recurrent network for dynamic hand gesture recognition. To obtain enough and useful information we have converted each RGB-D video to 30-frame and 45-frame for input. We have calculated an optical flow for frame-to-frame by given RGB video and extract dense motion features. After finding proper motion path, we have assigned more weight to optical flow features and fuse this information to the next stage and gets a comparable result. We have also added a newest Gated recurrent network for temporal recognition of frame and minimize training time with improved accuracy. Our proposed architecture gives 85% accuracy on the standard VIVA dataset.

Las alternativas se identifican mediante  la flexibilidad,  las opciones y las relaciones  durante la negociación, a fin de propiciar  el cambio de lenguaje que posibilite el  verdadero diálogo conciliador, según la  importancia de los  resultados acordados por las partes en conflicto. Las alternativas son producto del segundo objetivo de la investigación titulada Red de Negociación y  Paz para  el para el Desarrollo del Posconflicto en los Estudiantes del Programa de Negocios Internacionales de La Universidad de  La Guajira Colombia, determinantes de la gestión  de paz que permiten el entendimiento y la convivencia a través de experiencias positivas en las cuales los actores interactúan, le dan sentido al entorno de la negociación y construyen la versión de su propia realidad para plantear opciones de acuerdos duraderos frente a la diferencia. 

Las alternativas  son el  punto de equilibrio; ofrecen una propuesta distinta a un enfrentamiento, en el cual no existe la figura de vencedor ni vencido, solo encuentros de  conexión humana por cuenta propia u  acudiendo a un tercero negociador, que promueva el manejo de la disputa en forma pacífica en busca del beneficio común, orientado a la toma de  decisiones donde las partes a través de la palabra se comprometen con el sentido de equidad, es decir, son una opción para resolver conflictos de una manera amistosa, expedita, sencilla, ágil, eficiente y con plenos efectos legales, un reto para las instituciones educativas en época de post-conflicto, promover la cultura de paz y fortalecer en el corto plazo las alternativas de negociación de conflictos.
Alcock–Paczynski Test with the Evolution of Redshift-space Galaxy Clustering Anisotropy

Published: August 2019

We develop an improved Alcock–Paczynski (AP) test method that uses the redshift-space two-point correlation function (2pCF) of galaxies. Cosmological constraints can be obtained by examining the redshift dependence of the normalized 2pCF, which should not change apart from the expected small nonlinear evolution. An incorrect choice of cosmology used to convert redshift to comoving distance will manifest itself as redshift-dependent 2pCF. Our method decomposes the redshift difference of the two-dimensional correlation function into the Legendre polynomials whose amplitudes are modeled by radial fitting functions. Our likelihood analysis with this 2D fitting scheme tightens the constraints on Ω
m
and w by ∼40% compared to the method of Li et al. that uses one-dimensional angular dependence only. We also find that the correction for the nonlinear evolution in the 2pCF has a non-negligible cosmology dependence, which has been neglected in previous similar studies by Li et al. With an accurate accounting for the nonlinear systematics and use of full two-dimensional shape information of the 2pCF down to scales as small as 5 h
−1 Mpc it is expected that the AP test with redshift-space galaxy clustering anisotropy can be a powerful method to constraining the expansion history of the universe.

We report the first detection of C2

(0,0) and CN

(0,0) absorption bands in the interstellar medium. The detection was made using the near-infrared (0.91–1.35 μm) high-resolution (R = 20,000 and 68,000) spectra of Cygnus OB2 No. 12 collected with the WINERED spectrograph mounted on the 1.3 m Araki telescope. The A–X (1,0) bands of C2 and CN were detected simultaneously. These near-infrared bands have larger oscillator strengths, compared with the A–X (2,0) bands of C2 and CN in the optical. In the spectrum of the C2 (0,0) band with R = 68,000, three velocity components in the line of sight could be resolved and the lines were detected up to high rotational levels (J″ ∼ 20). By analyzing the rotational distribution of C2, we could estimate the kinetic temperature and gas density of the clouds with high accuracy. Furthermore, we marginally detected weak lines of 12C13C for the first time in the interstellar medium. Assuming that the rotational distribution and the oscillator strengths of the relevant transitions of 12C2 and 12C13C are the same, the carbon isotope ratio was estimated to be 12C/13C = 50–100, which is consistent with the ratio in the local interstellar medium. We also constrained the oscillator strength ratio of the C2 (0,0) and (1,0) bands, for which there exists a discrepancy between theoretical calculations and experimental results. This unique constraint obtained from astronomical observation will contribute to improving the accuracy of the oscillator strength measurement, which will lead to further advancements of the C2 excitation model and allow the physical conditions of clouds to be derived.
Circumventing the Effects of Projection and Dust Using Inclination-independent Infrared Galaxy Structure Measurements: Method, Error Analysis, and a New Public Catalog of Near-infrared Galaxy Structures
Authors: Devour Brian M. , Bell Eric F.
Published: August 2019

Accurate measurements of galaxy structure are prerequisites for quantitative investigation of galaxy properties or evolution. Yet galaxy inclination, through projection and varying dust effects, strongly affects many commonly used metrics of galaxy structure. Here we demonstrate that collapsing a galaxy’s light distribution onto its major axis gives a “linear brightness profile” that is unaffected by projection. In analogy to widely used half-light radius and concentrations, we use two metrics to describe this light distribution:

x

50

, the linear distance containing half of the galaxy’s luminosity, and

c

x

=

x

90

/

x

50

, the ratio between the 90% light distance and the 50% light distance. In order to minimize the effects of dust, we apply this technique to a diverse sample of galaxies with moderately deep and high-resolution K-band imaging from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey. Using simulated galaxy images, we find that while our measurements are primarily limited by the surface brightness in the outer parts of galaxies, most local galaxies have high enough surface brightnesses to result in reliable measurements. When applied to real data, our metrics vary from face-on to edge-on by typically ∼5% in

c

x

and ∼12% in

x

50

, representing factors of several to 10 improvement over existing optical and some infrared catalog measures of galaxy structure. We release a sample of 23,804 galaxies with inclination-independent and dust-penetrated observational proxies for stellar mass, specific star formation rate, half-light size, and concentration.
Dans le sillage du mythe : rémanence de la Route 66
Authors: Courbières Caroline
Published: August 2019

Cet article vise à manifester la rémanence de la Route 66 comme espace mythique de l’Amérique. Il s’agit ici d’appréhender la Route 66 comme un lieu en soi doué d’ imagibilité . L’étude de sa genèse s’articule dès lors à la saisie de ses moments d’actualisation en tant que voie transcontinentale pour montrer comment se construit son identité et s’élabore sa signification. L’analyse de son cheminement et de son territoire retrace ainsi l’itinéraire qu’elle suit jusqu’à son démembrement et la perte conjointe de son signe et de son usage. L’observation de cette éclipse de la Route permet de considérer sa réhabilitation institutionnelle qui participe à son tour de sa mythification. Au-delà du paysage culturel national qu’elle constitue aujourd’hui, il s’agit in fine de parcourir un bout de la Route 66 pour (perce)voir son genius loci.
Les routes du blues : des Lomax à la « Mississippi Blues Trail »
Authors: Roux Sabine
Published: August 2019

Cet article se propose d’analyser la construction des mythologies des routes du blues à partir de l’étude croisée du processus de patrimonialisation de la « Mississippi Blues Trail » et des itinéraires de recherches de John et Alan Lomax. Dans le cadre du projet touristique de la « Mississippi Blues Trail », la route 61 devient patrimoine historique musical. Ce processus de patrimonialisation s’appuie sur une rhétorique de l’authenticité de l’imaginaire des lieux qui évacue toute dimension sociale. De manière inverse, les itinéraires de recherche des Lomax mettent en évidence la dimension mythique des itinéraires du blues en cherchant à construire l’authenticité du blues à travers la circulation de la documentation et des traces.
