Several Noises may be present in acquired images. This is an undesired feature for image processing techniques that analyze these images. Image de-noising helps improve efficiency of image processing. Many image de-noising methods have been proposed and exist in literature. Image de-noising methods for agricultural images have been proposed to a lesser extent when compared to the bright medical or photographic images. This paper proposes Agricultural Image De-noising (AID) which uses a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to eliminate noise in agricultural images. This study uses specific kind of wavelet family spline wavelet transforms with appropriate decomposition level and the wavelet coefficients are analysed with hard and soft threshold methods. The denoised image using various spline wavelets is compared of hard threshold and soft threshold are assessed. The performance of AID is calculated using the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and signal to noise ratio (SNR).

Remote control of electric fans by the application of IoT technology addresses the restrictions of “push button” controls that are usual in conventional fans. This paper explains a new control method for air flow control of a Smart Electric Fan (SEF), in this case fans mainly used in the household. In this new method the supply voltage that is applied to the motor terminals of the SEF is precisely changed with the mobile application developed by using IoT solutions. As this proposed method integrates with the conventional control methods referred to as the Firing Angle Control method or Phase Angle Control method with a new IoT-based solution, the controlling of any device becomes simpler. We developed a mobile application that enables the fan to be remotely controlled using a smartphone or tablet computer. The phase or delay angle of the voltage waveform is changed by giving as an input from the smart phone mobile application, and this results in minimizing the power loss caused due to switching in case of push button system. We demonstrated that by using this app, implementing the IoT-based solution, the air flow rate of the SEF was increased and the performance of the SEF exceeded the air flow rate of the original, conventionally controlled fan with the speed of the fan being significantly increased. Applying this control method has thus been verified to be advantageous and appropriate for the remote control of the air flow and fan speed, resulting in the efficient Smart Electric Fan. The main focus of this research was to implement the integrated control method in the residential fans.

Development, world-over is fuelled by growth of the economy and the growth of economy is fuelled by growth in infrastructure. Estimates record a consumption of 6.6 Gigatonnes of concrete in China in earlier part of this decade, for infrastructure development. But today the world is poised on a tipping point environmentally, and sustainable growth is the need of the hour. This requirement is leading to research in replacement of energy intensive materials, along with capture and utilization of available waste. Marble powder waste which has deleterious impact on environment is one such material. Existing literature majorly focus on utilization of marble powder as fine aggregates in concrete. This study aims to study the suitability of marble powder as a filler material and as a replacement of cement. Pumice breccias are used as coarse aggregates. Experimental investigations were conducted to ascertain the compressive and split tensile strength in concrete with marble powder replacing cement by various percentages. The results indicate a general improvement in both compressive and split tensile strength.

Fruit ripening using calcium carbide became a bad practice by the fruits sellers. Unfortunately calcium carbide being a low priced alternative available to the fruit traders/cold store operators/farmers, other safe methods are not practiced by the fruit producers/sellers. In spite of ban on usage of calcium carbide for the purposes of fruit ripening, several farmers and traders use calcium carbide due to its easy availability and non-awareness of its toxicity on human health. Study is conducted on awareness of these factors among the fruit consumers. About 190 literates gave the feedback, based on which recommendations made for making safe and healthy fruits available in the market for consumers. Initiatives of government of India on these aspects are also discussed. Technical details on ethylene ripening chambers and its maintenance are also presented.

Crushed concrete (CC) is one of the most abundant waste materials generated from construction industry. This material is widely recycled and used in various applications like pavement, concrete aggregates and backfilling. Crushed concrete is mixed with any of virgin soil to increase the engineering properties of soil. In the present study, a sample of crushed concrete is collected from demolished buildings at Secunderabad and the material is segregated according to gradation for the present study. The index properties of crushed concrete like pH, specific gravity, water absorption, particle size distribution are obtained. Locally available soil is partially replaced i.e., 30%, 50%, and 70% with crushed concrete fine aggregates and its compaction characteristics and shear strength parameters are determined. In the continuation of the study, a numerical model is developed using a finite element software i.e GeoStudio Sigma/w. Mesh and boundary extent convergence studies are done for the model. The top 1m virgin soil is replaced with the mixture of CC and soils. Settlements for various percentages of CC and for different width of footing are obtained for a uniform stress of 200kPa. The stress is applied in 5 stages in order to simulate real field conditions. It was observed that 30% replacement of CC have given the least settlement for all widths of footing considered in the study

The routing process in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) remains a more demanding task in city backgrounds. Identifying an optimal end-to-end path that satisfies reduced overhead and delay control is still facing a lot of difficulties and limitations in recent days. These limitations are owing to the increased movement of vehicles, the repeated failures of a path, and the varied obstacles that might have an effect on the consistency of the data routing and transmission. Hence, this paper intends to present an enhanced VANET routing model by considering the network quality metrics including congestion, travel, collision and QoS awareness cost. Accordingly, in the proposed work, a cost model is modeled as the solution for the vehicle routing problem by taking into account the above-mentioned constraints. For determining the optimal route, this research work establishes a new hybrid algorithm known as Grey Updated Butterfly Operator (GU-BO) that links both the concepts of Monarch Butterfly Optimization (MBO) Algorithm and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). Finally, the performance of the implemented approach is compared over other conventional approaches with respect to congestion and cost analysis, and proves its superiority of proposed work over others.

The aim of this paper is to design and closed loop control implementation of a DC to DC Flyback converter with multiple output features. DC-DC Conversion technology is the major subject area in the field of power electronics engineering and drives and has been under development form six decades. Most of the advance systems like telecommunication and computer systems use the single output DC-DC Converter for different levels of voltage in the same system, which limits the efficiency, power density and increases the cost of the whole system. To achieve the features like high efficiency and high density for advance systems Multiple Output DC-DC Converter (MODC) are gathering much attention, and most of the research work is going to get the regulated multiple outputs, for different application like computer, electric vehicles, aircrafts etc. A MATLAB/Simulink model of a Multiple Output Flyback Converter (MOFC) is developed to get the regulated multiple output voltage. Two different control techniques have been employed such as Proportional Integral Derivative Control (PIDC) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC), to achieve the same for normal and disturbances cases and its performance is then estimated in terms of various parameters like Rise Time (Tr), Settling Time (Ts) and Overshoot (OS). The comparative results clearly reveal the better response of the proposed approach.

Sustainable Nano concrete is a concrete having less energy consumption during the production and releases less carbon dioxide as compared to conventional concrete. About one ton of CO2 is discharged in the manufacture of one ton of Portland cement, thus having a large influence on global warming. The concrete industry is adopting sustainable technologies to diminish this impact. This paper presents the investigation on a sustainable concrete having Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), which is a byproduct of the steel industry, blended with Nano materials. Mechanical characteristics of concrete mixes having varying GGBS content (60%, 70%, and 80%) by weight of cement were investigated and compared with conventional concrete. To enhance the workability, compression strength, durability and early strength of GGBS based concrete, Nano silica, micro silica and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were added to the concrete mix. It was found that concrete having 60% GGBS as replacement for cement exhibit improved mechanical properties. Also investigations were carried out on reinforced concrete beam with 60 % GGBS. Results indicate that concrete with 60 % GGBS could be used as a sustainable building material.

Late diagnosis and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes are the two major concerns for India, which is going to be a diabetes capital shortly. Several diabetes risk score (DRS) tools have been proposed and deployed for detecting the persons with high risk. These DRS tools have been developed using the multiple logistic regression model. But this model is both imperfect and subject to misuse. Another major issue with the DRS tools developed for Indian population is that they are based on the very limited urban population that does not represent the population of India. The objective of current research work is to develop a classification model for type 2 diabetes prediction. Along with this, the building of a novel integrated model for type 2 diabetes risk prediction is discussed consisting of the aggregate classification model and Indian weighted diabetes risk score model. The dataset used to develop and validate the model is obtained from the Annual Health Survey comprising of nearly 0.7 million and nearly 75 thousand adult participants respectively from around 400 districts of India. The proposed integrated diabetes risk prediction model predicts diabetes with 69.89% sensitivity, 56.58% specificity. The positive predictive value of the proposed integrated model is 15.88%, which is a significant improvement as the prevalence of diabetes is only 3.68% for the study population. Developing countries such as India, where undiagnosed diabetes and limited financial resources are a significant concern, the proposed integrated model for diabetes risk prediction can be useful as a cheaper tool useful for mass-screening, which can save up to 30% of the total screening cost.

This study is the result of experimental work in the field thermal of buildings. The study focuses on mounds termite’s clays. In this study a thermal analysis by the measurement of the thermal conductivity and the thermal resistance is carried out. This approach to determining the characteristics of materials has led to a better understanding of the possible choice of local building materials available in Chad. The estimation of thermal parameters of building materials plays a key role in a large number of scientific and industrial fields. Our choice has been focused on the termite mound soil which is currently of interest as a result of availability, energy crisis and that of housing.Unlike cement concrete, thé soil has long been used as a building material with practically many environmental benefits and considerable energy savings. The results obtained showed that the materials we used have a appreciable thermal properties. Brick from naturally occurring mound termite soil has better thermal resistance than brick made from mound termite soil, which means it is worked in advance. The influence of density on thermal resistance has been demonstrated. The stabilization of the cement reinforced the structure of the material and its resistance to erosion of the rain water.

Published: January 2020

In real time Signal Processing applications, the analogue signal is over sampled as per the Nyquist criterion in order to avoid the aliasing effect. Floating Point (FP) adder is used in the floating point Multiplier Accumulator Content (MAC) for real time Digital Signal Processing(DSP) applications. The heart of any real time DSP processor is floating point MAC. Floating Point MAC is constructed by Finite Impulse Response (FIR) or Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters. FIR filters are stable than IIR filters because the impulse response is finite in FIR. Hence, for stable applications FIR filters are preferred. These FIR filters are intern constituted by FP adder, FP multiplier and shifter. In conventional floating point adder the two floating point numbers are added in series. Series means one after the other so the computation speed is less. In series fashion adding the floating point numbers means definitely it furnishes more delay[1] because in the addition of floating point numbers, along with the addition of mantissas; computation is required for both signs and exponents also. Hence, the processing speed is slow for computing the floating point numbers compared with fixed point numbers. Therefore, in order to increase the speed of operation for floating point addition in real time application i.e., to add 16- samples at a time which are in floating notation; a parallel and pipe line technique is going to be incorporated to the two bit floating point architecture. Before developing such novel architecture, a novel algorithm is developed and after, the novel architecture is developed. The total work is simulated by Modelsim 10.3c tool and synthesized by Xilinx 13.6 tool.

The prospects of biogas as a major energy option to alleviate the energy needs in Africa is huge based on its teeming population. However, the main source of biogas i.e. human excretal is being neglected, thereby loosing resource worth 500 MW of electricity. This research is geared towards estimating the accruable biogas that can be harnessed in a typical student hostel in a developing country. The data was collected at the main chamber of the hostel. The estimation of the optimized state of methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide is given as 12%, 0.94% and 4.42% respectively. It was also affirmed that the algae growth on the walls of the sewage line is responsible for the low carbon dioxide values. Also, it was reported that the production of hydrogen sulphide gas is predictable, as it is not directly related to the concentration of microorganism in the sewage chamber. This research gives an eye-opener on biogas wastage in developing countries.
Analysis of “mixing” combination rules and Smet’s combination rule
Authors: Alpert Sofiia
Published: January 2020

The process of solution of different practical and ecological problems, using hyperspectral satellite images usually includes a procedure of classification. Classification is one of the most difficult and important procedures. Some image classification methods were considered and analyzed in this work. These methods are based on the theory of evidence. Evidence theory can simulate uncertainty and process imprecise and incomplete information. It were considered such combination rules in this paper: “mixing” combination rule (or averaging), convolutive x-averaging (or c-averaging) and Smet’s combination rule. It was shown, that these methods can process the data from multiple sources or spectral bands, that provide different assessments for the same hypotheses. It was noted, that the purpose of aggregation of information is to simplify data, whether the data is coming from multiple sources or different spectral bands. It was shown, that Smet’s rule is unnormalized version of Dempster rule, that applied in Smet’s Transferable Belief Model. It also processes imprecise and incomplete data. Smet’s combination rule entails a slightly different formulation of Dempster-Shafer theory. Mixing (or averaging) rule was considered in this paper too. It is the averaging operation that is used for probability distributions. This rule uses basic probability assignments from different sources (spectral bands) and weighs assigned according to the reliability of the sources. Convolutive x-averaging (or c-averaging) rule was considered in this paper too. This combination rule is a generalization of the average for scalar numbers. This rule is commutative and not associative. It also was noted, that convolutive x-averaging (c-averaging) rule can include any number of basic probability assignments. It were also considered examples, where these proposed combination rules were used. Mixing, convolutive x-averaging (c-averaging) rule and Smet’s combination rule can be applied for analysis of hyperspectral satellite images, in remote searching for minerals and oil, solving different environmental and thematic problems.

Online Impedance Estimation of Sealed Lead Acid & Lithium Nickel - Cobalt - Manganese Oxide Batteries using a Rapid Excitation Signal
Authors: Alao Olakunle
Published: January 2020

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) has
gained traction as a technique apt for condition monitoring of batteries. The
drawback of EIS is that it is only applicable when the system is offline (i.e.
it must be disconnected from the load), takes a long time to complete and
requires an expensive equipment for measurement. This work aims to adapt the
EIS to serve as an in-situ measurement technique, that can be utilized for
online condition monitoring of two unique battery chemistries – lead acid and
lithium NCM. This work develops in twofold – firstly, the Chirp broadband
signal is proposed amongst a variety of other broadband signals to
significantly shorten the time required for EIS measurement. Subsequently, a power
converter that is typically used to interface a battery with the load for
current and voltage regulation functions, is utilized for online condition
monitoring of both batteries through closed loop control of the power converter
and duty-cycle perturbation. This combined approach presents a novel low-cost technique
for online condition monitoring of batteries, with the ability to complete battery
characterization in a very short time. In this regard, EIS measurement is
completed for a lead acid battery (with lowest EIS characterization frequency
of 0.1Hz) in 5 seconds and lithium NCM battery (with lowest EIS
characterization frequency of 20mHz) in 25 seconds.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) states that smoking causes fatal health problems which cause about 8 million deaths per year worldwide. The risk of death from active smokers is higher than passive smokers, which is about more than 7 million deaths occur in active smokers and 1.2 million deaths occur in passive smokers. The results of the 2018 Basic Health Research report (Riskesdas) showed that the prevalence of smoking among adolescents of school age or aged 10-18 years (both inside and outside school) had increased according to the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) which was recorded at 9.1 %, up from Riskesdas 2013 which was 7.2%. Lack of knowledge about smoking will cause teens to be easily influenced by peers. Good knowledge illustrates a broader experience regarding smoking so that it will also affect one's smoking behavior

Objectives: To determine the correlation of knowledge about smoking with smoking behavior of students at SMKN 6 Pekanbaru City.

Methods: This study used an observational study with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique in this study was simple random sampling, where the number of respondents in this research was 149 students.

Results: Knowledge about smoking is correlated to smoking behavior of students with a p-value of 0.048 (p-value <0.05) and a weak correlation power with a negative direction (r = -0,162).

Conclusion: Knowledge about smoking is correlated to smoking behavior of students at SMKN 6 Pekanbaru City. The lower the students' knowledge about smoking, the worse their smoking behavior will be.

In 2008, the Ministry of Health presented the National Policy for Integral Attention to Men's Health, having the development of educational activities as one of its guidelines. These activities are inserted as a means for establishing a satisfactory relationship between nurse and user in order to make them aware about the health-disease and somehow contribute on spotlighting them as the subject of transformation. This study aimed at analyzing the men’s expressions of health care and the assistance from an educational intervention carried out in a unit of the Family Health in Sinop-MT. This is a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive of applied studies. The Thematic Content Analysis was used. The present project is linked to the research approved by the Ethics Committee/opinion number 568.938/2014. A deficit on the knowledge about the health theme approached was revealed. The habits/lifestyles are not set as health promoters. The “invulnerability” to diseases, the actions of health care seen as only directed to women and labor issues, influenced the search of the service, resulting in a feeling that they do not belong to it. Health Education is built as a tool for the introduction of men in the services, beside producing individuals who are knowledge holders and health promoters
Henryk Przeździecki – propagator unii w Polsce
Authors: Jurczyszyn Marek
Published: January 2020

Biskup podlaski ks. dr Henryk Przeździecki (1873-1939) przyjął święcenia kapłańskie dnia 22 grudnia 1895 r. Prawie od początku łączył funkcje kapłańskie z pracą wykładowcy w seminarium duchownym i z obowiązkami publicysty zamieszczającego ważne artykuły i opracowania naukowe w encyklopedii katolickiej i w innych wydawnictwach.

Podejmował liczne odpowiedzialne zadania w Kościele mające też znaczenie dla państwa polskiego (np. kształt terytorialny diecezji w II RP, konkordat, neounia). W wieku 45 lat został biskupem wskrzeszonej na nowo diecezji podlaskiej. Jego działalność została wówczas dostosowana do potrzeb wiernych i kapłanów wspomnianej diecezji. Dał się poznać jako znakomity organizator życia religijnego, twórca instytucji kościelnych i działacz społeczny. W wypełnianiu zadań pasterza odrodzonej diecezji podlaskiej pozostał wierny swojemu zawołaniu biskupiemu: Unitis viribus (łac. złączonymi siłami), kładąc akcent na zgodną współpracę członków jednego Kościoła Chrystusowego. Nie stawiał ani na ideologię, ani na zwalczanie mniejszości, ale na Kościół katolicki i jego siłę wychowawczą.

Nowy biskup podlaski stał się promotorem akcji unijnej w Polsce. Włożył wiele wysiłku w szerzenie unii kościelnej na Wschodnich Kresach II Rzeczypospolitej, a szczególnie na Podlasiu. Nie tylko przyjmował wiernych prawosławnych do Kościoła rzymsko-katolickiego, lecz także otrzymał specjalne uprawnienia do zakładania parafii neounickich. Organizował konferencje z kapłanami obu obrządków, wizytował parafie, wspierał materialnie potrzebujących, niestrudzenie głosił słowo Boże, tworzył organizacje katolickie i bractwa neounijne. Wprowadzanie w czyn przykazania miłości Boga i bliźniego uczynił głównym celem wspomnianych organizacji i bractw. Przedstawił ciekawą propozycję dla kapłanów obrządku wschodniego, aby zakładali bractwa modlitwy w intencji unii kościelnej. Aktywnie uczestniczył w zjazdach unijnych w kraju i zagranicą, na których wygłaszał referaty dotyczące unii, organizował „tygodnie” unijne. Uważał motywy polityczne za przeszkodę w działalności unijnej.

Dzięki niezłomnej wierze i zaufaniu samemu Jezusowi Chrystusowi pokonywał różne przeszkody związane z działalnością pasterską w diecezji podlaskiej i z promocją unii w Polsce.
