Clustering is an unaided examination with two totally various procedures: hard clustering and soft clustering. K-Means might be a hard clustering procedure and FCM might be a soft clustering procedure. In this paper, a performance live is administrated on these two algorithms to search out the higher one for detection and extraction of cerebellum lesion in MRI. Each subjective and objective evaluations are administrated. Varied applied mathematical measures like MSE, PSNR, ROI, NROI, Compression ratio, accuracy are utilized for target investigation of the consequences of the near examination of the two calculations. Abstract investigation is administrated by subject specialists. From this examination, it is discovered that FCM is delivering higher quality segmentation results than K-Means regarding accuracy and ROI segregation. Then again, K-Means is overpowering the relatively lesser measure of time for image segmentation than FCM. In this way, on the off chance that accuracy is given parcel of need than time complexness, at that point FCM should be an essential inclination.

Our Indian society is plagued with numerous social problems, such as illiteracy, dowry harassment, child abuse, female feticide, poor sanitation, malnutrition, casteism etc. From time immemorial many great philosophers, social reformers, activists and leaders have been trying to solve these social problems in their own perceived ways. Social Advertisements are a powerful tool for social change. Social advertising is about applying marketing and advertising principles to promote health and other social issues and bringing about positive behavioral change. Social advertising sells a behavioral change to a targeted group of individuals, making them accept a new behavior, reject a potential behavior, modify a current behavior and abandon an old behavior. In fact the state and central governments have been spending significant amounts of money on social advertising but the impact of such advertisements has not been studied in a systematic way. Hence a systematic study was undertaken across the length and breadth of Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh which included identifying target groups, distributing questionnaires, collecting data from the respondents and statistically analyzing the data to make the inference.

Selection of reusable software components in software repositories to facilitate quality software development has always been a focal point and a big concern for software researchers. One of the most time-consuming tasks in software reusability is tracing and retrieving software components from a large repository. The selection of inapt software package can result in high cost and ultimately becomes a prime source of adverse outcome in business processes and performance of the organization. Creation of quality software depends upon the selection of the best set of components among all the alternatives present in the reusable component repository. Frequently used sets of components can be obtained by using mining algorithms. This paper proposes a component selection methodology and a method for retrieval of the optimal set of reusable components from the repository. Case-based retrieval is applied for initial filtering of components to narrow down the search space. A data mining algorithm is applied to extract the candidate set of components for a given case. Most frequent set of components aid the decision-maker to select the finest component set and also assist in suggesting the supplementary components for the case to match with the latest updates.

In mating pairs system, the pairs will have relative motion among themselves resulting in damage of contacting surfaces. During such relative motions friction and wear occurs. Extensive research has been carried out for identifying friction and wear effects. One of the important factors is found to be discontinuity in velocity at the interacting surfaces. This discontinuity in velocity was found to have a major role in affecting coefficient of friction and wear.In the present investigation to impart velocity discontinuity copper and nickel coatings of different thickness, were coated on mild steel pin. The copper coating was incorporated by thermal spray technique and nickel coating was carried by electroplating technique. Experiments have been conducted using pin on disc test rig with speed 500 rpm, load 30 newton and sliding time 30 seconds. The shear force was monitored in personal computer and coefficient of friction was estimated. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) and Energy dispersive analysis X-ray (EDAX) was carried out. The coefficient of friction was found to be dependent on type of coating materials. Coefficient of friction was in the range of 0.51 to 0.52 for copper coating and 0.43 to 0.46 for nickel coating. The observed features in scanning electron micrograph attribute dependency of friction coefficient on coating thickness. The energy dispersive analysis X-ray study reveals no oxidation of copper, nickel and iron.

A General Vehicle Technology such as Computer Applications and Internet Penetration affects all sectors of Economy. Previous studies have quantified the extent of growth in GDP that occurs due to a given growth level in internet subscriptions. However, the immediate impact of mobile app usage is naturally on services sector growth rather than the overall GDP. Since September 2016, when Reliance Jio unleashed a data price war, the app-based services sector saw a phenomenal growth. Taking this well-known fact into account, this paper constructs a regression model between mobile internet subscription and the growth of services sector in six states of India for the period 2014-18. The study also enquires if the spurt of mobile data usage since the year 2017 has resulted in a corresponding growth on services sector GSDP in the target states. Although there exists an extremely strong correlation between the growth of wireless internet subscriptions and the growth of services sector in the target states, the spurt in data usage since 2017 hasn’t resulted in a corresponding spurt in the growth of services sector. The study explores the implications of such results obtained through regression analysis between mobile internet and the growth in services sector GSDP.

Big Data (BD) generation are exponentially increased and it is necessarily required for modern society. Hadoop Clusters (HC) provides the facilities like Processing, storage and doesn’t have built-in security. But this feature is important as it increases the analysis speed, storage process. HC facilitates storage, processing of data, on the other hand processing of streaming data handled by the Apache Spark. However data storage, processing power, cluster management and data security in HC is not reached up to the mark with increased data. In such situations, HC are scaled out from small scale IT organization and it depends on public cloud centers with lack of data security, communication, computation and operational cost. On the other hand data security in HC is major issue and it uses a separat security mechanisms. This paper proposes New Algorithm Built in Authentication Based on Access (BABA) as a security instance integrated as Hadoop instance for securing data in HC from attackers along with metadata security for avoiding crashes Hadoop. This mechanism provides a secured HC without using other security configurations which will reduce operational cost, computational power, increases data security and providing a better solution for HC.

Each human being has a voice that is distinct and unique. Extraction and analysis of the features of a person’s voice plays a vital role in diagnosis of diseases in the recent years. The basic parameters used for the voice analysis are Fundamental Frequency (F0), Jitter, Shimmer and Harmonics-to-Noise Ratio. Most of the prevailing Voice Analysis Software are highly commercial with complicated User Interface, requiring expertise to operate them. Hence the proposed study is carried out, which led to the development of a Voice Analysis Application called ‘Ephphatha’. A novel algorithm with improvised measures for voice analysis is used in Ephphatha. The acoustic parameters of duly collected voice samples were analyzed by Ephphatha and compared with the existing algorithms like PRAAT and Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP) of CSL(Computerized Speech Lab), with F-test analysis. The result showed no significant difference in F0 (p>0.05), except for its Standard Deviation values (p<0.001). The Ratio Of Variance (ROV) is less than or equal to 1 for F0. The other parameters are not significantly correlated. Also it showed that the shimmer values are moderately correlated (p<0.05), when Ephphatha is compared with CSL. It was also seen that all the parameters of PRAAT and Ephphatha have no significance difference (P > 0.05), except for the Shimmer values (p<0.001). Thus Ephphatha would undoubtedly equip the experienced clinicians with its novel approach and better User Interface.

With this model it is expected that the application no longer need to be installed on every client but enough on the server only.  Beside that, this model of server side application can be accessed by every client in various operating system infrastructure and hardware. The Library transaction service workload can be dispersed and no longer overlap at one work terminal only, but it can already be spread over other terminals, which is the benefit of this technology.  The integrated information system between the academic information system and library information system makes the data more accurate and well distributed. The credibility and flexibility of data is maintained due to the synchronization between servers for data usage on the main server. This kind of model system development pattern makes integration between parts of an organization better. Three tiers have a database layer on server 1, the application layer on server 2, and Layer 3 is on the user side.

Sumatera merupakan daerah dengan kondisi tektonik yang rumit dimana terjadi konvergensi lempeng India terhadap lempeng Eurasia dan terdapat beberapa sesar aktif. Untuk melihat keaktifan daerah Sumatera penulis menghitung stress drop di Sumatera dan membahas bagaimana kaitanya dengan tektonik secara regional. Stress drop diperoleh dengan menganalisis spektrum displacement observasi menggunakan metode inversi nonlinier Nelder Mead Simplex. Dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa stress drop pada daerah crustal segment Siulak menghasilkan nilai terbesar yaitu 39.26 Mpa dikarenakan daerah tersebut memiliki slip rate yang kecil jika dibandingkan dengan segment lainnya di Sumatera. Zona Ninety East Ridge menghasilkan nilai stress drop yang kecil 2.6 - 4.3 Mpa dikarenakan daerah ini merupakan daerah rekahan serta patahan. Daerah accretional wedge menghasilkan nilai stress drop tinggi 20.65 Mpa, merupakan lapisan sedimen tebal sehingga mampu menahan stress. Zona Forearc basin menghasilkan nilai stress drop kecil 0.49 Mpa karena merupakan lapisan sedimen yang mudah mengalami deformasi. Stress drop di Sumatera dipengaruhi oleh tipe tektonik, material batuan, serta slip rate masing-masing region di Sumatera.

Modern technique to estimate of the physical properties of rocks can be done by means of digital imagingand numerical simulation, an approach known as digital rock physics (DRP: Digital Rock Physics). Digital rockphysics modeling is useful to understand microstructural parameters of rocks (pores and rock matrks), quite quickly and in detail. In this paper a study was conducted on sandstone reservoir samples in a rock formation. The core of sandstone samples were calculated porosity, permeability, and elasticity parameters in the laboratory. Then performed digital image processing using CT-Scan that utilizes X-ray tomography. The result of digital image is processed and done by calculation of digital simulation to calculate porosity, permeability, and elastic parameter of sandstones. In addition, there are also predictions of p-wave velocity and wave -S using the empirical equations given by Han (1986), Raymer (1990), and Nur (1998). The results of digital simulation (DRP) in this study provide a higher than the calculations in the laboratory. The digital rock physicsmethod (DRP) combined with rock physics modeling can be a practical and rapid method for determining the rock properties of tiny (microscopic) rock fragments

GoLF geothermal eld is located in South Solok Regency, 150 km SE of Padang city, West Sumatra.Geology, geochemistry and geophysical surveys had been conducted since 2008. Geophysical survey which had been performed including microseismic and magnetotelluric surveys. Seismic velocity structure modelling need to be conducted in order to characterize geothermal reservoir.This study uses microseismic data recorded from 36 seismometers which installed in two time recording time ranges; from September 2010 to April 2011 and from September 2012 to December 2013, with microseismic events recorded respectively 135 and 2692 events. To maximize the result of picking waveform, the data is processed using the Master Event Cross Correlation method to update the catalog data and get more accurate arrival time. Furthermore, the author used TomoDD software to produce hypocenter relocation and the 3D velocity structure under GoLF's geothermal reservoir. The results of the 3D velocity model can be used to determine the structure and phase of the fluid under GoLF geothermal field.

Komputer merupakan sarana untuk mengelolah data yang lebih akurat, dan daya tahannya untuk melakukan pemerosesan data dalam jumlah besar bisa dipertanggungjawabkan. Kini komputer telah dijadikan tekhnologi pokok dalam pengolahan data dan penyajian informasi. Sebuah instansi atau lembaga tidak akan terlepas dari persoalan inventori yang seringkali terjadi kesulitan. Kesulitan tidak hanya terjadi karena banyaknya kesalahan manusia dalam mencatat tetapi juga kesulitan yang ditimbulkan karena pendistribusian inventaris yang tidak dikelola secara tepat.  Selain banyaknya jenis barang inventori yang menyebabkan pendataan barang inventaris tidak berjalan, kesulitan juga ditimbulkan oleh proses pemeliharaan barang yang harus dilakukan dengan tepat guna. Kesulitan-kesulitan tersebut di atas bisa diatasi dengan adanya sistem inventaris yang baik serta pengelolaan distribusi dan kualitas inventaris yang dilakukan secara terkomputerisasi. Tujuan utama pembuatan sistem ini adalah untuk mengatasi masalah kesulitan pengaturan barang secara manual serta meminimalkan kesalahan dalam pencatatan yang dilakukan secara manual. Aplikasi yang dihasilkan diharapkan mampu mengatasi masalah-masalah yang timbul di sebuah instansi khususnya yang berkaitan dengan barang-barang inventaris.
