Document clustering is an unsupervised machine learning technique which designates the creation of classes of a certain number of similar objects without prior knowledge of data-sets. These classes of similar objects are known as clusters; each cluster consists unlabeled data objects in such a way that data objects within the same cluster have maximum similarity and have dissimilarity to the data objects of other groups. The purpose of this research work is to develop domain independent Gurmukhi script clustering technique. It is the first ever effort as no prior work has been done to develop domain independent clustering technique for Gurmukhi script. In this paper, a hybrid algorithm for the development of document clustering technique for Gurmukhi script has been developed. The experimental results of proposed document clustering technique reveal that the proposed hybrid technique performs better in terms of defining number of clusters, creation of meaningful cluster titles, and in terms of performance regarding assignment of real time unlabeled data sets to the relevant cluster as a result of various pre-processing steps like segmentation, stemming, normalization as well as extraction of named/noun entities, creation of cluster titles and placing text documents into relevant clusters using fuzzy term weight.

Due to the huge growth of internet usage, large volume of information flow has also been increased, which leads to the problem of information congestion. In unsupervised learning, clustering is consider as most important problem. Big quality, high dimensionality and complicated semantics are the difficult issue of document clustering.it focus on the way of identifying a structure from an unlabeled data collection. A cluster is a method in which the data items are identified and grouped based on the resemblance between the objects from a dissimilar object set. Decision of a good cluster, can be demonstrated that there is no absolute “best” criterion independent of the final objective of the clustering. A good document clustering scheme’s primary objective is to minimize intra-cluster distance between papers while maximizing inter-cluster distance(using a suitable document distance measure).A distance measure(or, dually, measure of resemblance)is therefore at the core of document clustering. This assessment gives an implication about the different methods(Vector Space Model, Latent Sematic Indexing, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Singular Value Decomposition, Doc2Vec Model, Graph model), distance measures(Euclidean Distance, Cosine Similarity, Jaccard Coefficient, Pearson Correlation Coefficient)and evaluation parameters of document clustering. This work is theoretical in nature and aims to corner the overall procedure of document clustering.

Permanent paralysis due to stroke could be avoided if they do some exercises on the affected limbs to keep the flowing of the blood and soften the muscle. Every treatment or exercise needs to be done periodically and requires the help of a normal person such as nurses or physiologists. However, a caretaker may not be able to provide 100% of the assistance to those stroke patients. Therefore, an automatic device that can provide a periodic exercise could help stroke patients in their recovery process with minimal participation of caretaker. However, the available machine that can accommodate such services is bulky and costly. It exercises the whole body, and this is not beneficial if the stroke only effect to some part of the body. Hence, this study had shown that Theory of Inventive Problem Solving approach is able to reduce the size of the machine but gives significant impact on the specific limbs. The findings could be used as foundation for stroke rehabilitation development system.

Smartphone plays a major role in contributing towards preventive health care services, as they enable users to track by themselves, their diet and fitness regime. Monitoring vital signs particularly, heart rate regularly helps in early detection of heart related ailments. Given the present context, a smartphone is readily available with most of the population; hence it is much easy to monitor heart rate using the same. In this paper, a smartphone based application is presented which calculates the heart rate from the photoplethysmography (PPG) signals obtained from the fingertip images captured through the camera. Heart rate is calculated by counting the peaks that occur in the PPG signals in a particular duration. In order to detect the peaks, a peak detection algorithm proposed in [1] is used, as the algorithm helps in detecting peaks accurately without any pre-processing. The proposed technique is very simple as it calculates heart rate directly from time series PPG data without the need of converting to frequency domain data and can be employed in any smartphone to measure heart rate. In order to validate the proposed method, experiment was performed to calculate the heart rate of forty nine individuals and the obtained results were compared with heart rate readings measured using digital blood pressure (BP) monitor for those individuals. The heart rate obtained from proposed method is close to one that is obtained from digital blood pressure monitor with three percent discrepancy.

The culture of a place can be understood by analysing its architecture and vice versa. Each place has a unique culture and hence a unique architectural style. Vernacular architecture is a perfect example for displaying the culture of that place, as it is built based on the culture of that place. However, the culture of a place can be changed or altered when it comes in contact with another culture. The degree and dominance of one culture over another, purely depend on the sextent to which both the cultures have acculturated. Hence, vernacular architecture which is a reflection of culture also has a natural tendency to change and to accommodate changes and is flexible, adaptable and hence sustainable. There are many factors that lead to a cross-cultural composition like trade links, colonisation, and westernisation etc. among which colonisation plays a major role in the creation ofa new culture in the coastal stretch of India. Goa is one such perfect example where cross-cultural miscegenation is seen due to Portuguese colonisation. This paper aims in understanding and evaluating the cross-cultural amalgamation which is reflected in Indo-Portuguese houses through a study and analysis of four case examples in Goa using space syntax.

Paddle rickshaw/tricycle is still used widely in many parts of developing countries for small distance transportation of goods and passengers. The design of the paddle rickshaw is almost same everywhere, with minor variations largely focused on the appearance. The pedal rickshaw used are ergonomically not very efficient. They are mostly pulled by daily wage laborers who have to put large effort in pedaling the rickshaw due to its inefficient design. Subsequently very little research is available on the subject of the effort applied by rickshaw puller with respect to rpm and load of on paddle Rickshaw. In the current case, systematic experimental study has been performed to find out the effort applied by the rickshaw puller at various conditions of speed and load on paddle rickshaw. Based on these results, a two gear mechanism has been designed to reduce the effort of the rickshaw puller to almost 50% in the initial start condition, where maximum effort has to be applied by the puller. The result of this research work can have implication on the society by easing the life of these people.

Lean aims to eliminate the non-value-added activity which affects the cost of production along with the scrap rate Lean is often considered as a collection of tools and practices for superior operational and financial performance, through process improvement. Lean is an improvement concept for operational performance in the manufacturing environment. In this work, lean techniques are applied to the manufacturing of random rods at a leading manufacturing company of Thermo Mechanically Treated (TMT) reinforced bars to reduce the scrap. The hot billet coming from the extrusion machine is sent to the rolling mill machine where the TMT bars are produced; this consists of three stages – roughing mill, shear cutting, and programming logical controller. During the shear cut operation performed on the billet, a large amount of scrap was being generated. To reduce this scrap and the non-value-added activities, lean techniques have been applied. Also, the size of the billet was changed to produce maximum yield. With this, the scrap rate at the rolling mill machine has significantly decreased leading to a notable reduction in the cost of production.

India is one among the developing countries wherever in Construction is that the second largest trade causative to the nation’s value standing next to agriculture. In today’s context all the developing and a few of the developed countries face the matter of handling environmental pollution arising attributable to the development activities. Also, conservation of natural resources so as to attain property surroundings has become of the challenges nowadays. Construction activities embody the assembly of concrete, mortar, bricks, blocks etc. Major things embody cement, fine aggregates like sand, coarse aggregates, bricks, blocks, steel etc. Among this cement production quite 70% of CO2 and alternative harmful gases are generated and enters the atmosphere. This may harm the ozonosphere therefore it's necessary to scale back the assembly and consumption of cement. As an answer, it's necessary to use various building materials that doesn't produce harmful effects for the surroundings. Several researches are done on many alternatives for cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. By analysis work currently a days, cement is replaced by ash, rice husk ash, slag, baggage ash, eucalyptus ash, saw dirt ash, waste sludge ash etc. by victimization this alternatives for cement, the consumption of the cement can scale back and also the production can rebelliously reduces therefore up to some extent it should solve the issues arising within the environmental pollution from construction activities.

A Wireless Sensor Network is a set of sensor nodes that are integrated with a physical environment. This tiny sensor node capable of sensing physical phenomena and it can process the sense data. Sensor nodes radio range is short so they transfer data in a multihop manner to form network which will send network activities to base station. Data transmission consumes much more energy than computation. So to overcome this problem data aggregation technique can be useful. This approach reduces energy consumption by avoiding repeated data. Security in wireless sensor network is also one of the important issues. Some properties of a WSN make it more harmed by certain types of attackers, compared to traditional wired network. Furthermore, constrained devices create their own problems for wireless sensor network. As sensor node is powered by batteries and node required lot of energy to perform some complex computation. So it is important to prevent every node in computation process which will save energy to gain longer network life. The focus of this work is provides confidentiality protecting hierarchical concealed data aggregation for WSN using privacy homomorphism. End to End Homomorphic Paillier cryptoscheme is used to achieve proposed approach.
