Conceptualizing Distrust Model with Balance Theory and Multi-Faceted Model for Mitigating False Reviews in Location-Based Services (LBS)
Authors: Mahinderjit Singh Manmeet , Wern Shen Lee , Anbar Mohammed
Published: September 2019

Location-based services (LBS) use real-time geo-data from a smartphone to provide information, entertainment or surveillance information. However, the reputations of LBS application have raised some privacy and security issues such as location tracked by third parties and creation of fake reviews and events through Sybil attack. Fake events on LBS such as congestion, accidents or police activity affect routes users and fake reviews caused nuisances and decreases trust towards this technology. The current trust model in LBS is single faceted and not personalized. The concept of both trust and distrust are essential criteria of any trust management model to measure the reliability of LBS applications. This paper explores the relationship between trust models and the distrust concept in LBS. By deriving a representation of the multi-faceted model and balance theory conceptualized in a MiniLBS prototype, trust in this technology is quantified. By adopting matrix factorization and probability algorithms on the survey results, the relationship between distrust and trust is further examined and tested. The result obtained from the experiment was nearly zero, the smallest one was 3.0253 × 10−95, and the largest value was only 4.967 × 10−43. The results show that distrust is not a negation of trust. Another crucial finding suggests that balance theory within distrust in the LBS trust model can enhance the trust management model in LBS and indirectly cater issues rise from fake event problem.
Double JPEG Compression Detection Based on Noise-Free DCT Coefficients Mixture Histogram Model
Authors: Zhu Nan , Shen Junge , Niu Xiaotong
Published: September 2019

With the wide use of various image altering tools, digital image manipulation becomes very convenient and easy, which makes the detection of image originality and authenticity significant. Among various image tampering detection tools, double JPEG image compression detector, which is not sensitive to specific image tampering operation, has received large attention. In this paper, we propose an improved double JPEG compression detection method based on noise-free DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients mixture histogram model. Specifically, we first extract the block-wise DCT coefficients histogram and eliminate the quantization noise which introduced by rounding and truncation operations. Then, for each DCT frequency, a posterior probability can be obtained by solving the DCT coefficients mixture histogram with a simplified model. Finally, the probabilities from all the DCT frequencies are accumulated to give the posterior probability of a DCT block being authentic or tampered. Extensive experimental results in both quantitative and qualitative terms prove the superiority of our proposed method when compared with the state-of-the-art methods.
Aperiodic-Order-Induced Multimode Effects and Their Applications in Optoelectronic Devices
Authors: Jing Hao , He Jie , Peng Ru-Wen , Wang Mu
Published: September 2019

Unlike periodic and random structures, many aperiodic structures exhibit unique hierarchical natures. Aperiodic photonic micro/nanostructures usually support optical multimodes due to either the rich variety of unit cells or their hierarchical structure. Mainly based on our recent studies on this topic, here we review some developments of aperiodic-order-induced multimode effects and their applications in optoelectronic devices. It is shown that self-similarity or mirror symmetry in aperiodic micro/nanostructures can lead to optical or plasmonic multimodes in a series of one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) photonic or plasmonic systems. These multimode effects have been employed to achieve optical filters for the wavelength division multiplex, open cavities for light–matter strong coupling, multiband waveguides for trapping “rainbow”, high-efficiency plasmonic solar cells, and transmission-enhanced plasmonic arrays, etc. We expect that these investigations will be beneficial to the development of integrated photonic and plasmonic devices for optical communication, energy harvesting, nanoantennas, and photonic chips.
ExtrIntDetect—A New Universal Method for the Identification of Intelligent Cooperative Multiagent Systems with Extreme Intelligence
Authors: Iantovics László Barna , Kountchev Roumen , Crișan Gloria Cerasela
Published: September 2019

In this research, we define a specific type of performance of the intelligent agent-based systems (IABSs) in terms of a difficult problem-solving intelligence measure. Many studies present the successful application of intelligent cooperative multiagent systems (ICMASs) for efficient, flexible and robust solving of difficult real-life problems. Based on a comprehensive study of the scientific literature, we conclude that there is no unanimous view in the scientific literature on machine intelligence, or on what an intelligence metric must measure. Metrics presented in the scientific literature are based on diverse paradigms. In our approach, we assume that the measurement of intelligence is based on the ability to solve difficult problems. In our opinion, the measurement of intelligence in this context is important, as it allows the differentiation between ICMASs based on the degree of intelligence in problem-solving. The recent OutIntSys method presented in the scientific literature can identify systems with outlier high and outlier low intelligence from a set of studied ICMASs. In this paper, a novel universal method called ExtrIntDetect, defined on the basis of a specific series of computing processes and analyses, is proposed for the detection of the ICMASs with statistical outlier low and high problem-solving intelligence from a given set of studied ICMASs. ExtrIntDetect eliminates the disadvantage of the OutIntSys method with respect to its limited robustness. The recent symmetric MetrIntSimil metric presented in the literature is capable of measuring and comparing the intelligence of large numbers of ICMASs and based on their respective problem-solving intelligences in order to classify them into intelligence classes. Systems whose intelligence does not statistically differ are classified as belonging to the same class of intelligent systems. Systems classified in the same intelligence class are therefore able to solve difficult problems using similar levels of intelligence. One disadvantage of the symmetric MetrIntSimil lies in the fact that it is not able to detect outlier intelligence. Based on this fact, the ExtrIntDetect method could be used as an extension of the MetrIntSimil metric. To validate and evaluate the ExtrIntDetect method, an experimental evaluation study on six ICMASs is presented and discussed.

Published: September 2019

Configurations of the polymer state in rubbers, such as so-called isotropic (random) and anisotropic (almost aligned) states, are symmetric/asymmetric under space rotations. In this paper, we present numerical data obtained by Monte Carlo simulations of a model for rubber formulations to compare these predictions with the reported experimental stress–strain curves. The model is defined by extending the two-dimensional surface model of Helfrich–Polyakov based on the Finsler geometry description. In the Finsler geometry model, the directional degree of freedom σ → of the polymers and the polymer position r are assumed to be the dynamical variables, and these two variables play an important role in the modeling of rubber elasticity. We find that the simulated stresses τ sim are in good agreement with the reported experimental stresses τ exp for large strains of up to 1200 % . It should be emphasized that the stress–strain curves are directly calculated from the Finsler geometry model Hamiltonian and its partition function, and this technique is in sharp contrast to the standard technique in which affine deformation is assumed. It is also shown that the obtained results are qualitatively consistent with the experimental data as influenced by strain-induced crystallization and the presence of fillers, though the real strain-induced crystallization is a time-dependent phenomenon in general.
Results on Functions on Dedekind Multisets
Authors: Hošková-Mayerová Šárka , Onasanya Babatunde Oluwaseun
Published: September 2019

Many real-life problems are well represented only by sets which allow repetition(s), such as the multiset. Although not limited to the following, such cases may arise in a database query, chemical structures and computer programming. The set of roots of a polynomial, say f ( x ) , has been found to correspond to a multiset, say F. If f ( x ) and g ( x ) are polynomials whose sets of roots respectively correspond to the multisets F ( x ) and G ( x ) , the set of roots of their product, f ( x ) g ( x ) , corresponds to the multiset F ⊎ G , which is the sum of multisets F and G. In this paper, some properties of the algebraic sum of multisets ⊎ and some results on selection are established. Also, the count function of the image of any function on Dedekind multisets is defined and some of its properties are established. Some applications of these multisets are also given.

Published: September 2019

Plants use RNA silencing as a defense against viruses. In response, viruses encode various RNA silencing suppressors to counteract the antiviral silencing. Here, we identified p22 as a silencing suppressor of cucurbit chlorotic yellows crinivirus and showed that p22 interacts with CsSKP1LB1, a Cucumis sativus ortholog of S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 (SKP1). The F-box-like motif of p22 was identified through sequence analysis and found to be necessary for the interaction using a yeast two-hybrid assay. The involvement of the F-box-like motif in p22 silencing suppressor activity was determined. Proteomics analysis of Nicotiana benthamiana leaves expressing p22, and its F-box-like motif deletion mutant showed 228 differentially expressed proteins and five enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways: ABC transporters, sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid biosynthesis, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, riboflavin metabolism, and cysteine and methionine metabolism. Collectively, our results demonstrate the interaction between p22 and CsSKP1LB1 and show that the deletion of F-box-like motif inhibits p22 silencing suppressor activity. The possible pathways regulated by the p22 through the F-box-like motif were identified using proteomics analysis.

Published: September 2019

It has been recently reported, using in vitro studies, that the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) encoded envelope glycoprotein B (gB1) interacts with cell surface toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and induces the secretion of interleukin-8 (IL8), a representative marker of inflammatory cytokine activation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of gB1 in activating host inflammatory responses by using a secreted form of gB1 (gB1s) and an ex vivo organotypic rabbit corneal model. Abraded corneas exposed to gB1s alone or to the recombinant protein mixed with anti gB polyclonal antibody were cultured in an air–liquid interface. The corneas exposed to gB1s show the appearance of mydriasis and high levels of TLR2 and IL-8 mRNAs transcripts were detected in the superficial layer of corneal epithelial cells. Histological stain and immunohistochemical analyses revealed morphological changes in the epithelium of the treated corneas and variations in expression and localization of TLR2. Collectively these findings provide new insight into the pathogenesis of HSV-1 ocular infection by demonstrating the leading role of gB in activating an inflammatory response and in the appearance of mydriasis, a sign of HSV-1 anterior uveitis.
The Groundwater‒Energy‒Food Nexus in Iran’s Agricultural Sector: Implications for Water Security
Authors: Mirzaei Atena , Saghafian Bahram , Mirchi Ali , Madani Kaveh
Published: September 2019

This paper presents the first groundwater‒energy‒food (GEF) nexus study of Iran’s agronomic crops based on national and provincial datasets and firsthand estimates of agricultural groundwater withdrawal. We use agronomic crop production, water withdrawal, and energy consumption data to estimate groundwater withdrawal from electric-powered irrigation wells and examine agronomic productivity in Iran’s 31 provinces through the lens of GEF nexus. The ex-post GEF analysis sheds light on some of the root causes of the nation’s worsening water shortage problems. Access to highly subsidized water (surface water and groundwater) and energy has been the backbone of agricultural expansion policies in Iran, supporting employment in agrarian communities. Consequently, water use for agronomic crop production has greatly overshot the renewable water supply capacity of the country, making water bankruptcy a serious national security threat. Significant groundwater table decline across the country and increasing energy consumption underscore dysfunctional feedback relations between agricultural water and energy price and groundwater withdrawal in an inefficient agronomic sector. Thus, it is essential to implement holistic policy reforms aimed at reducing agricultural water consumption to alleviate the looming water bankruptcy threats, which can lead to the loss of numerous agricultural jobs in the years to come.
GLOF Risk Assessment Model in the Himalayas: A Case Study of a Hydropower Project in the Upper Arun River

Published: September 2019

A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is a phenomenon that is widely known by researchers because such an event can wreak havoc on the natural environment as well as on manmade infrastructure. Therefore, a GLOF risk assessment is necessary, especially within river basins with hydropower plants, and may lead to a tremendous amount of socioeconomic loss if not done. However, due to the subjective and objective limitations of the available GLOF risk assessment methods, we have proposed a new and easily applied method with a wider application and without the need for adaptation changes in accordance with the subject area, which also allows for the repeated use of this model. In this study, we focused our efforts on the Upper Arun Hydroelectric Project (UAHEP) in the Arun River Basin, and we (1) identified 49 glacial lakes with areas greater than 0.1 km2; (2) geographically represented and analyzed these 49 glacial lakes for the period of 1990–2018; (3) analyzed the correlation between the temperature and precipitation trends and the occurrence of recorded GLOF events in the region; (4) proposed a new method based on the documented affected lengths and volumes derived from historical GLOF events to identify 4 potentially critical lakes; and (5) evaluated the discharge profiles using widely used empirical methods and further discussed the physical properties, triggering factors, and outburst probability of the critical lakes. To achieve these objectives, a series of intensive and integrated desk studies, data collections, and GLOF simulations and analyses were performed.
Il y a et vigilance éthique
Authors: Sebbah François-David
Published: September 2019

L’entente lévinassienne de la « vigilance » n’est pas du tout intuitive ; il pourra même sembler qu’elle s’oppose à ce que l’on entend le plus souvent par « vigilance » , la vigilance comme « attention soutenue » . Pourtant, on peut faire l’hypothèse que ce que Levinas décrit ainsi est en fait fidèle à la « chose même » , au phénomène de la « vigilance » révélé en son essence. La description lévinassienne de la vigilance n’est pas uniquement affaire de psychologie, elle est aussi affaire de gnoséologie et d’ontologie dès lors que la « vigilance » donne (accès à) ce que Levinas nomme l’il y a. Enfin, et ce n’est pas le moins important, nous verrons que Levinas, dans ses derniers textes, révèle que cette expérience fondamentale (la vigilance) est l’épreuve même de l’éthique.

L’enjeu de cette contribution consiste à déployer et à mettre en relation les analyses disponibles sur la vigilance en neurosciences d’une part, en phénoménologie husserlienne d’autre part, dans le but de vérifier leur compatibilité structurelle. On fera émerger in fine la potentialité descriptive spécifique de l’approche phénoménologique, qui permet de redéfinir la vigilance comme une micro-dynamique de l’éveil. On ouvre la voie ce faisant à une micro-phénoménologie en première personne de la vigilance, qui reste à déployer, mais pourrait se configurer depuis l’hypothèse ci-dessus et contribuer à la vérifier.

Clay-pit systems fishfaunistic research in the Middle-Tisza
Authors: Demény Ferenc
Published: September 2019

After the regulation of the Tisza River the chance of successful fish propagation lessened. Natural spooning places in the river almost completely disappeared. The fish have to find an adequate place for their propagation in the flood plain. The period of spooning usually coincides with flooding of the river. At this time fish try to find the flooded shallow places for spooning. These parts mostly include the clay-pits beside dams, which were accidentally established during construction of the dams. At this place the fry can find the necessary food. After decreasing the flood the fingerlings and a part of the spooners are trapped inclay-pits as these latter ones are not connected with the river bed. The clay-pits usually desiccate during the summer. The trapped fish population is eaten by water birds or harvested by the local man population. This means a great loss for reproduction of some fishspecies.Within the framework of the Regional Rehabilitation Program at Nagykörű, supported by the “WWF Hungary” and a “SAPARD project,” these clay-pits became connected with each other in a stretch of 5 km, and they were jointed to the Tisza by a collecting channel. The water level has been regulated by a flood gate so that the water enters the holes during the flood and is released later on in to the water bed.Data on fish were collected from the Nagykörű Whole System, from the Anyita pond and some isolated wholes in Szandaszöllős in 2004 and 2005. First of all fish fry and fingerling were collected and the success of spooning at these places was examined. Fry was harvested by a 60 x 80 cm sized lifting net of 2x3 mm mesh size. In other cases nets used by anglers for catching prey fishes was also used. Data were also collected from local fishermen who participated in saving the fry and fishing of Anyita pond.Of the several thousand caught fish specimens 28 species were identified, and among them 5 protected and 5 economically important species was found. Protected fishes were as follow: gudgeon (Gobio gobio), bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus amarus), weather fish (Misgurnus fossilis), spined loach (Cobitis elongatoides) and tubenosed goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus). Among economically important fishessamples of asp (Aspius aspius), carp (Cyprinus carpio), wels (Silurus glanis), pike (Esox lucius) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE MANAGEMENT IN THE FIELD OF TOURISM
Authors: Koleci Baki , Koleci Violeta
Published: September 2019

Organizations Depending on the type of activity they exercise their size, geographical distribution, leading ideology, and the environment in which they operate, they select a suitable organizational structure. The organization's structure is static, it reflects the state of the organization, only at a certain moment, as decentralized as an organization, and it is harder for managers to impose bureaucratic norms. Organizational structuring is one of the issues that has always attracted the attention of scholars and practitioners. Drucker underlined that "A good organizational structure does not bring a good performance on its own, but a bad organizational structure makes it impossible to perform well, no matter how good it is to be its managers. All small or large, private or public, profit-oriented or not, regardless of the areas where they exercise their activity, have a common thing: the "need to manage". Each of them for the achievement of the final goal engages a variety of human, matrix and financial resources. The term management has many dimensions and definitions, which varies more than the description made to its functions. Researcher Brech defines management as "A social process that has the responsibility for planning and effective and economical regulation of an organization's operations in order to achieve a goal or a given task".
ACHIEVEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF GREECE
Authors: Pacarska Valentina
Published: September 2019

The Republic of Macedonia proclaimed its independence on September 8, 1991, but its international recognition was blocked by Greece, which considered it to have an exclusive historical right over the name Macedonia that is carrying its northern province and that the use of that name is a sign of territorial claims to Skopje. Macedonia was admitted to the UN in 1993 under the provisional name of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, but most countries, including the United States and Russia, have recognized it under its name, the Republic of Macedonia.In 1995, Macedonia and Greece signed a provisional treaty in New York, which paved the way for the normalization of political and trade relations, leaving the problem with the country's name aside. Macedonia received the status of a candidate for EU membership in 2005, but not a date for start of negotiations, which requires a unanimous decision, which is not possible without the consent of Greece.In this thesis, there is an analysis between these two countries, from the period of signing the interim agreement, which required both parties to adhere to certain conditions, the events after the signing of the agreement until today.
SPAIN - THE NEW TRANSIT COUNTRY FOR ILLEGAL MIGRANTS IN THE WEST-MEDITERRANEAN MIGRANT ROUTE
Authors: Panov Toshe
Published: September 2019

The trend of migrants' legal and illegal migrations has increased year by year, so in 2015 it has received alarming proportions. Illegal migration, albeit at a reduced scale, continues in 2018. Immigrants are trying to reach Europe via land, sea and airplane by airplanes.There are several of the most frequent routes that quickly reach the promised land, depending on which parts of the world are going, although routes often change, under the influence of different circumstances. If there is increased control at some borders, immigrants pass on other roads, even longer. Thus, for example, migrants from the West Coast of Africa to Europe reach Greece through Greece, rather than through Spain and Italy due to increased control of the sea routes through the Mediterranean. This is also the case with the Western Mediterranean route through which many immigrants pass through. The illegal migrants and refugees towards their goal, the highly developed European countries and the European Union used multiple routes, but this paper will be devoted only to the Western Mediterranean route, starting from north and west Africa through the Mediterranean about the sea to Spain, the Canary Islands and the Spanish enclaves in Africa. The aim of this paper is to analyze global and regional migration movements and their future trends with the focus of the western Mediterranean route as well as identifying the underlying motives that cause them migration processes and their classification that could serve for the appropriate treatment of migrants in accordance with their rights and national legislation.
BAANTAR JUJURAN DALAM PERKAWINAN ADAT MASYARAKAT BANJAR

Published: September 2019

Baatar jujuran adalah prosesi adat dalam perkawinan pada masyarakat Banjar, dan dilakukan sebelum berlangsungnya perkawinan. Baatar jujuran adalah pemberian dari pihak laki2 kpd pihak perempuan, berupa sejumlah uang yang besarnya ditentukan oleh pihak perempuan. Jujuran berbeda dengan mahar. Jujuran biasanya lebih besar dari mahar, karena fungsi jujuran adalah sebagai bantuan untuk melaksanakan resepsi perkawinan dan juga untuk modal awal berumah tangga. Dalam pelaksanaan membayar jujuran, kadang diminta oleh pihak perempuan telalu tinggi, sehingga menghambat terlaksananya perkawinan, ini bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam. Disamping itu pula, ada juga yg menentukan jujuran dengan bermusyawarah sehingga tercipta kesepakatan, ini sesuai dengan ajaran Islam. Ada lagi yang menentukan jujuran dengan istilah, “sapambari”, artinya seikhlasnya, dan ini juga tidak bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam. Hubungan hukum adat dan hukum agama khususnya agama Islam dalam baatar jujuran di sini dapat dianalisis melalui teori receptio in complexu dan receptio a contrario

Автори статті звертають увагу на актуальність культурологічного аналізу подій на Сході України, якізначно впливають не лише на політичне, але й культурне життя країни. Зокрема, гостро стоїть питання формування політичної культури і національної культурної ідентичності жителів Сходу України. З 1991 р. їх орієнтації багато в чому визначалися як проросійські. Грунтуючись на сучасних соціологічних дослідженнях, автори констатують зміну культурної ідентичності жителів Сходу України з проросійської на проукраїнську.Це свідчить про динаміку культурної ідентичності як соціокультурного утворення і про відносини взаємного доповнення, в яких перебувають політична культура і культурна ідентичність.
ФЕСТИВАЦІЯ ЯК ТОТАЛЬНА АРТИЗАЦІЯ КУЛЬТУРИ ПОВСЯКДЕННОСТІ

Published: September 2019

Розглянуто феномен сучасної святкової культури в контексті артизації, тотальної естетизації суспільного життя, що вимагає теоретичного, культурологічного, філософського обґрунтувань тенденцій розвитку даного феномена. Проаналізовано синтез чуттєвої, образної та рефлективної реальностей як гармонізуюючого принципу культуротворення, що дозволяє розглядати фестивацію як моделюючу чи конструюючу систему.Фестивація культуротворчості посідає місце своєрідної моделюючої системи, найбільш здатної доперетворення сучасного культурного простору в артизаційний. Доведено, що фестивація виступає стратегією комунікативного дискурсу сучасної культури, що синтезує складові сценічного, артистичного, комунікативного, тобто зорієнтованого на презентацію інформації, зокрема, медійної. Дана тенденція проявляється в медіапрактиках політичного, інформаційного, видовищного характеру, модифікуючись відповідно до власних телеологічних інтересів та трансформуючись у засіб їх досягнення. Виявлено, що фестивація як артизація є унікальною ареною можливості перевтілювати власну природу та протиставляти власну сутність мінливому часопростору світобудови. По-друге, фестиваційний процес культуротворчості онтологічно влючає артизацію як необхідну присутність у бутті свята, водночас, утримуючи при цьому діалектичну природу відмежованості від нього «масками» як проекціями принципово іншого та мінливого Я. Зрештою, фестивність постає моделюючим феноменом, в якій інтегруються форми політичного, інформаційного, видовищного характеру, модифікуючись відповідно до інтересів та трансформуючись на засіб їх досягнення, виявляючи при цьому повну готовність грати разом з постановниками сучасних подій.

Verification is must to ensure that the design is an exact representation of the specifications of the design without any bugs. Verification helps to avoid surprisess at later time so that product can enter the market on time with good quality and less cost. In the present research work, synchronous generic FIFO is designed using Verilog. Here the pointers will indicate the status of the FIFO, the flag information’s like Full, Empty, Last, Second Last First and the FIFO will have a synchronous Reset ability and this FIFO is used as a DUT under verification environment. The verification is carried out using SystemVerilog layered testbench approach. As the designing of modules get complex, it is becoming more difficult to check that design, as it takes longer time to check all the combinations of design inputs. This problem can be solved by randomization and adding cover group and assertions. The verification plan involves test bench, verification properties, assertions, coverage sequences, application of test cases and verification procedures for the FIFO design. The functionality of the DUT is verified through layered testbench approach and coverage analysis. The response of DUT under random constrained inputs is compared with the predicted response in the scoreboard unit of the layered testbench. The research work achieved 80% code coverage and around 90% of functional coverage.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna with enhanced results. Antennas are playing the most important key role in wireless communication systems and especially microstrip patch antenna is the simplest and best form for mobile communication systems. Therefore, the design of antenna for mobile satellite communication and space to earth communication is described in this proposed work. The working of rectangular micro strip patch antenna is studied and the effect of height of the substrate on antenna performance is analyzed and the results are plotted. It has been noticed that the height of substrate should be neither small nor large. The effect of inserting a slot in the patch is also observed in this paper. Return Loss results are plotted for the designed structure and it is noticed that return loss is almost doubled by inserting a slot. Further two symmetrical slots are inserted in the patch and the respective results are plotted. Insertion of two slots gave multiple operating frequencies to the antenna with a compromise of s11. The simulation of proposed structures of antennas is done using ANSYS HFSS (high-frequency structure simulator) which is commercially used as a finite element method solver for electromagnetic structures. A sphere with human brain characteristics is created and average SAR (specific absorption ratio) is plotted on the head model.

“Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set” (IFS) is used to manage nebulousness and indecision. In current investigation, another intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is proposed for decision making by utilizing entropy weight. Current model permits estimating the degree of membership and non-membership of various alternatives assessed over a criterion set. A case study has been carried out to diagnosis of vector borne disease. Criteria’s have been selected according to relevant disease and weight has been assigned to them by medical expert’s committee. It has been established that TOPSIS method can diagnose the VBD diseases using specific symptoms as criteria and VBDs as alternatives. The suggested methodology can help in correct and timely diagnosis of VBDs and provides doctors an innovative diagnostic tool (WHO, 2004; WHO, 2014). The result is validated by applying fuzzy VIKOR method.

Cloud computing is a computing tool for human-kind. In recent years, it is using to generate IT services, appliances for higher activities computing and outsourcing in a cost-efficient and flexible way. In modern times, a variety of types of bandwidth eater are growing speedily Cloud computing is growing phenomenal gradually to supply the different kinds of cloud services and applications to the internet-based customer. Cloud computing utilizes Internet applications to execute the large-scale jobs. The most important objective of cloud compu-ting is to allocate and calculate different services transparently throughout a scalable network of machines. Load balancing is one of the significant issues in Cloud Computing. Loads should be divided as CPU load, the capacity of memory and system load which is the measurement of work that a computation system performs. Load balancing is a modern method where the load is being shared amongst several machines of a distributed system to enhance the utilization of various applications and response time of multiple tasks and prevent overloading situation and under loading situation. In or approach, we developed an algorithm, LBMMS, which combines all least completion time. For this study, LBMMS presents the proficient deployment of various resources in cloud computing.

Currently, implementation of the breeding programs, including the commonly recognized areas and classic breeding methods, cannot sufficiently ensure a quick and significant increase in the productivity of sugar beet hybrids, since its gene pool is almost exhausted. Based on the achievements in the field of genetics, new approaches to and opportunities in creating highly productive agrocoenoses of sugar beet have become popular. As a result of many years of work, results have been obtained about the nature of inheriting the resistance to glyphosate in individual heterozygous apo- and syncarpous forms in case of inbreeding and pair mating with the MC tester. The expression of target genes in the generations was monitored by the survival rate of sugar beet plants after the treatment with glyphosate. During the research, individuals with a high level of gene expression were selected. Upon self-pollination of initial heterozygous original forms, deviations from Mendelian segregation were observed in most cases. The criterion for assessing the stability of expression of glyphosate resistance genes in case of seed breeding was the compliance with the laws of Mendel among the analyzed descendants. In the initial stages of the research, the level of stability gene expression had been 10 – 15 % of the total number of analyzed plants. After four self-pollinations, the stability gene expression significantly increased, and genotypes with the resistance of 91 – 100 % were selected. The first apo- and syncarpous self-pollinating lines of sugar beet with high tolerance in the role of resistance donors have been created. The positive results of preliminary tests of the first glyphosate-tolerant hybrids need confirmation. Seeds and roots of resistant forms have been obtained for further research.

With the appearance of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) that streams uninhibitedly, under the sole impact of gravity, the desire for issue free and unsurprising castings even in complex cases, spurged the recreation of solid stream as a way to demonstrate and anticipate solid functionality. To accomplish total and dependable structure loading up with smooth surfaces of the solid, the fortified formwork geometry must be perfect with the rheology of the new SCC. Anticipating stream conduct in the formwork and connecting the required rheological parameters to stream tests performed on the site will guarantee an improvement of the throwing procedure. In this theory, numerical reproduction of solid stream is explored, utilizing both discrete just as constant approaches. The discrete molecule model here fills in as a way to mimic subtleties and marvels concerning totals demonstrated as individual items. The here gave cases are reenacted round particles. Be that as it may, it is conceivable to utilize nonspherical particles too. Total surface harshness, size and viewpoint proportion might be modeles by molecule erosion, size and bunching a few circles into framing the ideal molecule shape. The consistent methodology has been utilized to mimic huge volumes of cement. The solid is displayed as a homogeneous material, specific impacts of totals, for example, blocking or isolation are not represented. Great correspondence was accomplished with a Bingham material model used to reenact solid research center tests (for example droop stream, L-box) and structure filling. Stream of cement in an especially clogged segment of a twofold tee chunk just as two lifts of a multi-layered full scale divider throwing were reenactedsucessfully. A huge scale quantitative investigation is performed rather easily with the constant methodology. Littler scale subtleties and marvels are better caught subjectively with the discrete molecule approach. As PC speed and limit always develops, recreation detail and test volume will be permitted to increment. A future converging of the homogeneous liquid model with the molecule way to deal with structure particles in the liquid will highlight the progression of concrete as the physical suspension that it speaks to. One single ellipsoidal molecule falling in a Newtonian liquid was considered as an initial step.

Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater and household sewage, runoff effluents from domestic, commercial and institutional units. Various waste water treatment technologies have been compared for the Kullu, Manali area where there are about 50 Sewage Treatment Plan (STPs) installed and operated by various hotels, industries and 7 common STPs operated by the Irrigation and Public Health (IPH) Department for treatment of the sewage waste generated from the household and hotels in the three Municipal areas. The sewage load to the treatment plant installed by individual hotels is not available at a constant rate from the hotel industries. This variation in quantity and quality of the sewage generation during the tourist and non- tourist season disturb the whole mechanism based upon the biological methods. Thus there is a need to test a new technology to overcome these difficulties and which is easy to handle and operate and economical to run. Detailed study in association with Himachal Pradesh IPH Department in Manali Campus on new technology called the “Electro- Coagulation Technique” for treatment of the sewage waste was conducted by installing a demonstration study plant with a capacity of 60 Kilo- litre capacity per day ( 60 KLD). It has been concluded that this technology coagulates the suspended solids and settles into sludge, oxidizes organics and reduces soluble COD, and destroys pathogens
