In this research paper, various studies revolving around how dirt and dust affect the performance of solar panels depending upon different regions, as different areas have different soil compositions and how they are different from one another. A new way of approach to the domestic solar panel cleaning system, researchers have proposed many ways to improve and classify the object and present it in an image in the past. However, there have few projects related to domestic cleaning of solar panels. Due to the inconsistencies in cleaning especially in region where rain is not the most convenient option for cleaning. On continuous using of solar panels, a layer of accumulated dust particles is settled on the surface of solar panels or PV panels which affect the result of decreasing in efficiency by 50 %. By cleaning on regular intervals it decreases this soil loss. Various data have been collected which shows the importance of domestic solar panel cleaning for future generation.

Ontology provide a structured way of describing knowledge. Ontology's are usually repositories of concepts and relations between them, so using them in information retrieval seems to be a reasonable goal. The main objective in this report is to provide efficient means to move from keyword-based to concept-based information retrieval utilizing ontology's for conceptual definitions [1]. In this paper, we present the skeleton of such an IR system which works on a collection of domain specific documents and exploits the use of a domain specific ontology to improve the overall number of relevant documents retrieved. In this system, a user enters a query from which the meaningful concepts are extracted; using these concepts and domain ontology, query expansion is performed. We propose a system that matches the query terms in the ontology/schema graph and exploits the surrounding knowledge to derive an enhanced query. The enhanced query is given to the underlying basic keyword search system LUCENE [2]. In this approach we try to make use of more ontological Knowledge than IS-A and HAS-A relationships and synonyms for information retrieval.

The engineering strength properties of expensive soils (clayey soil) such as compaction characteristics and bearing capacity can be improved by stabilization process of the soil. These properties can be improved by controlled compaction using the mechanical equipment’s or by addition of suitable admixtures like cement, fly ash, lime, gypsum or by reinforcing the soil with shredded tyre, crumb rubber, plastic waste etc. But gypsum is used now a days to enhance the geotechnical properties. So, in this research paper gypsum and calcium chloride has been used to improve the various strength properties of natural soil. The objective of this research paper is to examine the strength properties of natural clayey soil reinforced with different percentage of gypsum by the weight of soil and fixed percentage of calcium chloride(Cacl2) as a binding material. A series of Standard Proctor tests(for calculation of MDD and OMC) and California Bearing Ratio (C.B.R) tests are conducted on both raw clayey soil and reinforced soil with different percentages of gypsum (2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) by weight and with fixed percentage of calcium chloride (0.75%). A comparison between properties of raw clayey soil, raw clayey soil mixed with gypsum and raw clayey soil mixed with gypsum and calcium chloride (CaCl2) are performed. It is found that the properties of clayey soil mixed with gypsum and calcium chloride (CaCl2) are suitably enhanced.

Absence of phase is a very common and serious problem in every sector, at home or workplace. Many times, one or two phases in three phase supply cannot be live. Regardless of this, certain electrical equipment in one room and OFF in another room would be on, several times. This causes considerable disturbance to our routine work. This paper is intended to test the availability of any live phase, and will only link the load to the specific live phase. There is only one phase available, and then the load will still be ON. The idea is conceived with ARDUINO. This controller continually checks the live state of all connected phases, using a Relay the load is connected to active phase by controller.

DC-to-DC converter is an electronic circuit that converts direct current (DC) from a given voltage to another. DC-DC converters have a broad range of applications, starting from electronic gadgets to household equipment, adapters of mobile phone and laptops, aero plane control frameworks and communication hardware. This paper illustrates the practical application of DC-DC boost converter using Sliding Mode Control (SMC). DC-DC converters can be categorized into different categories in terms of mechanical, electrical and electronic features. SMC DC-DC converters show better performance compared to other converters under certain conditions. This nonlinear control system is especially well suited for Variable Structure Systems. The most significant advantage of Sliding Mode Control over conventional control systems is its robustness against load, line and parametric uncertainties.

Concrete is the main building material. When concrete becomes hard, it gives strength to the structure. Many times it is a difficult task to pour the concrete into the formwork and compact it perfectly. This has been overcome by using Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). Such a concrete is one of the advanced building materials in the field of construction industry. Unlike the other type of concrete, this kind of concrete compact’s effectively under its own weight. There is no need of any external vibration or compaction procedure to minimal the concrete in formwork. It can easily flow in every corners of the formwork without blocking. This project deals with SCC in which, the binary material used is Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as mineral admixture at various percentage of replacement. To reduce the measure of water used in concrete, Auromix-400 is used as Super Plasticizer at a constant dosage. Several tests were carried out to study the behavior of fresh and hardened concrete. Test for fresh concrete includes slump flow, V Funnel test. Similarly, the properties of concrete were also determined by conducting compression and Spit tensile test. At the same time the simulation model was also developed to test the proposed system using the artificial neural network (ANN) protocol. The ANN model is built on six objects with multiple output-multiple. Single Output Type - In the second method, the artificial neural network model is a single input neural network that is built on top of multiple inputs - where multiple inputs has been predicted separately based on various types of neural function - Secondly, the ANN model is built on multiple inputs. The results indicate the superiority of the neural network method in terms of the accuracy of publication prediction results.

The Unimodal biometric framework have various fundamental issues, for example, intra-class alteration, noisy data, failure-to-enroll, spoofing attacks, unacceptable error rate and non-universality. To defeat this shortcoming multibiometric is a decent alternative where we can utilize at least two individual modalities. This paper gives a comparative analysis of multi-algorithm and multimodal system framework based on rank level fusion. An effective combination strategy that integrates information given by different domain specialist dependent on rank level fusion approach is utilized to enhance the presentation of the framework. The rank of individual matcher is combined using the highest rank, Borda count, weighted Borda count, nonlinear weighted approach and Bucklin combination approach. The outcomes of the results show there is a noteworthy exhibition enhancement in the identification accuracy can be accomplished when contrasted those from unimodal frameworks. The outcomes also reveal that combination of individual modalities can enhance the biometric system performance. The experiment based on multimodal (NIST BSSR1 multimodal database of fingerprint and face) and multialgorithm (Hong Kong Polytechnic University database of palmprint) system shows an improvement in term of the Rank-1 identification rate of the system.

In the last decade, invention of new material is the point of interest of researchers. Carbon composite epoxy is one of those materials, which are currently used in transportation, aerospace, structural as well as naval applications. It is very difficult to machine those carbon composite materials using traditional methods, so an updated solution for this issue is machining using Abrasive Water Jet. Significant input parameters namely Standoff Distance, Abrasive Mass Flow Rate and Traverse Rate are varied for various outputs, out of which kerf width is main point of focus. For précised values, Kerf Width measurement is carried out using Profile Projector. The process parameters were further optimized using GRA and Taguchi method. Regression models were developed for correlation with actual generated data using experiments. The result obtained using Optimization technique and Taguchi method is confirmed using confirmation experiment. The parameters were optimized for Kerf Width of carbon fibre with reference to input parameters by using AWJM.

Sign language is the only method of communication for the hearing and speech impaired people around the world. Most of the speech and hearing-impaired people understand single sign language. Thus, there is an increasing demand for sign language interpreters. For regular people learning sign language is difficult, and for speech and hearing-impaired person, learning spoken language is impossible. There is a lot of research being done in the domain of automatic sign language recognition. Different methods such as, computer vision, data glove, depth sensors can be used to train a computer to interpret sign language. The interpretation is being done from sign to text, text to sign, speech to sign and sign to speech. Different countries use different sign languages, the signers of different sign languages are unable to communicate with each other. Analyzing the characteristic features of gestures provides insights about the sign language, some common features in sign languages gestures will help in designing a sign language recognition system. This type of system will help in reducing the communication gap between sign language users and spoken language users.

Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is a software development process that combines the general techniques and principles of Test Driven Development (TDD) with ideas from Domain Driven Design (DDD) and Object Oriented (OO) analysis. It describes a cycle of interactions with well-defined outputs, resulting in the deliverable, tested working software. Today, BDD has evolved into an established agile practice. However, compared to other agile methodology frameworks, such as Scrum and Kanban, BDD is a relatively new. Thus, available resources explaining BDD is still limited and the BDD approach is still under development. Based on this observation, this literature review aims to provide the key of success as well as the challenge that lies on the implementation process of BDD in IT Project. We identified 3 success factors and 5 challenges. The success factors are focusing in product value, having a thorough system behavior definition, and using the right BDD supporting tools. Meanwhile, the most challenging part are the difficulties in writing BDD scenario and automating the test case to maintain the system quality.
