Published: July 2018

Data Analytics is the process of analyzing unprocessed data to draw conclusions by studying and inspecting various patterns in the data. Several algorithms and conceptual methods are often followed to derive legit and accurate results. Efficient data handling is important for interactive visualization of data sets. Considering recent researches and analytical theories on column-oriented Database Management System, we are developing a new data engine using R and Tableau to predict airport trends. The engine uses Univariate datasets (Example, Perth Airport Passenger Movement Dataset, and Newark Airport Cargo Stats Dataset) to analyze and predict accurate trends. Data analyzing and prediction is done with the implementation of Time Series Analysis and respective ARIMA Models for respective modules. Development of modules is done using RStudio whereas Tableau is used for interactive visualization and end-user report generation. The Airport Trends Analytics Engine is an integral part of R and Tableau 10.4 and is optimized for use on desktop and server environments.

Published: July 2018

With the increase in the number of public and private buses in cities in recent years, managing the bus fleet across various routes in an efficient and effective manner has become cumbersome. This is resulting in suboptimal services, inability to effectively cater to existing demand, and poor quality of public transport services. Modern technological advancements have created a tremendous opportunity to improve various aspects of public transport services, to not only serve existing demand but attract increasing number of passengers to public transport from a sustainable development standpoint. One such area which is gaining momentum is intelligent fleet management using the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). This area calls for a cross-field collaboration between engineers from various disciplines to use the up and coming idea of Internet of Things (IoT) for overcoming the challenges of intelligent fleet management. This paper explores the opportunity for incorporation of IoT to manage bus fleets based on the occupancy ratio and the resulting benefits that can be achieved in terms of fleet frequency optimization.

Published: July 2018

Recycled concrete aggregates have inferior qualities compared with the natural aggregates, mainly attributed due to the porous nature of the attached cement mortar. In previous researches treatment of recycled aggregates are done using concentrated nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid but they showed less view on acetic acid which is eco-friendly and also removes more adhered mortar in the recycled aggregates. The aim of this investigation is to determine the strength characteristics of Recycled Concrete Aggregates(RCA) which have been treated using low concentration acetic acid solution (1% solution and with immersion duration of 1 and 3 days). The treated aggregates are tested for compressive strength, split tensile strength, water absorption, impact strength and bond strength for a curing period of about 7 and 28 days.

Nano silica is a fine convergent material of 10-9m size. Due to its fineness, stiffness gets increased and cracks get reduced. As nano silica is fine, the mechanical strength will be increased and the durability will also be increased. Nano silica will reduce the pores compared to nominal concrete specimens. In this to study strength and durability behaviour of M70 high performance concrete with Nano Silica as admixture partially replacing cement by 0% 5% 10% 15% 20%. The experimental investigation of sorptivity test, alkalinity measurement test, water absorption test, totally 30 cubes and 15 cylinders specimens were casting and testing for strength and durability. Specimens namely cubes, cylinders are cured for 28 days. In standard environment, after this curing period a test to analyze the strength and durability as carried out. The strength and durability start shown in increasing trend with increase in the quantity of nano silica. XRD, XRF Techniques are used to study the micro structure of the concrete. The nano silica addition reduces the pore amount and makes the concrete denser in micro structure level, which in turn increases the strength and durability.

Placenta, depending on the species histological features, may interfere or promote the transmission of antibodies in the mother-fetus system. There are several types of placentas: epithelial type (horses, donkeys and pigs), desmochoric type (cows, sheep and goats), endothelial type (rabbits, Guinea pigs), hemochorial type (monkeys and women). Desmochoric and epithelial type of the placenta block the transfer of circulating maternal antibodies to the fetus. In animals with these types of placentae transfer of maternal antibodies to offspring is carried out by colostrum. Hemochorionic and endothelial chorionic placentae provides active transport of antibodies from the mother's bloodstream into the bloodstream of the fetus. Therefore, newborns have a complete set of maternal antibodies. The aim of our study was to investigate the mechanism of absorption of antibodies from colostrum by the epithelial cells of the small intestine of newborn animals with epithelial and desmochoric types of placentas. The article presents the results of the absorption of antibodies by epithelial cells of the small intestine of newborn animals with colostrum - type transmission of immune proteins from mother-offspring. Thus, it was established that the absorption of antibodies by epithelial cells of the small intestine is limited in time (24-72 hours). The mechanism of absorption is the fetal structure of the epithelial cells of the small intestine with the ability to absorb antibodies, and the termination of antibody absorption is associated with the replacement of fetal enterocytes by postnatal ones.

Authors: Gowri L , Sasireka K 
Published: July 2018

Estimation of Evapotranspiration forms the basis for computation of irrigation requirement of crop, and also it is considered as one of the vital component of hydrological cycle. This study describes the conceptual outline and implementation to test the ability of an artificial neural network (ANN) for accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo). There are many conventional methods like FAO modified Penman method, temperature-based and radiation-based empirical methods are used to estimate (ETo). Among the conventional methods, Thronthwaite method and Hargreaves method perform well in the selected region. An ANN network is trained to recognize patterns of the daily meteorological variables and their corresponding evapotranspiration which is estimated using FAO-modified Penman method. The advantage of using ANN technique is the network’s ability to use minimum number of meteorological parameters, hence economical.

Authors: Deepa M , Krishna Priya P 
Published: July 2018

In Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) implementing a secure communication is a critical task due to its nature of wireless, infrastructureless, arbitrary network. Its not organized by any centralized control. Each node in this network acts as a router. Routing plays a major role in the network data transmission. Various protocols exist for the purpose of routing process. On Demand routing is a category of routing protocol were routes are obtained only on demand. AODV is one of the efficient on demand routing protocol. In this work an enhanced protocol with security features, the Secure AODV- ESB (Secure Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector based on Energy level and Signal Strength Implementing Bayesian Probability) has been proposed for Mobile Adhoc Network. Its is an extension of the previous work AODV – ESB protocol, which is a modification of the existing AODV protocol. The AODV protocol works on two phases. The route discovery process and route maintenance phase. Major problem faced by AODV was the frequent route break caused by the dynamic mobile nature of the Mobile Adhoc network, which leads to frequent route discovery process. To avoid frequent route break AODV-ESB routing protocol was proposed, it adopts the energy level and Signal strength as parameters for the route selection for transmission of data. Bayesian probability implementation in the protocol increases the chance of adopting more reliable and optimized path. Another major issue in data transmission in the Adhoc network is the security. Securing data from access of the unauthorized person is a major responsibility of the protocol. This new secure AODV- ESB protocol protects against attackers by identifying the malicious node and eliminating them and also secures data by implementing cryptography using Two Fish Algorithm. This ensures secure data transmission in MANET more efficiently than the original AODV protocol. Analysis using the NS 2 Simulator proves that Secure AODV- ESB performs better than the previous work AODV- ESB.

In telemedicine, medical data are shared across the world among different specialists for various purposes through an unsecured medium. So there is a need to protect the medical data during transmission. With the help of image watermarking techniques, medical images are protected along with the electronic patient information (EPI). This paper proposes a medical image watermarking, by applying wavelet transform, using an interpolation technique. EPI data is embedded within the transformed medical image to generate a watermarked image. At the extraction side, EPI data are extracted and medical image is reconstructed without any loss. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed using a peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean absolute error (MAE) and structural similarity index (SSIM). The experimental result shows that the proposed method gives better results.

Published: July 2018

The low optimum level of vermi pile depth (10 cm-15 cm) warrants encroachment of large land area and consume more time in the vermicomposting process. In engineered vermicomposting, the acceleration of digestion of high volume of waste was done by eliminating the pre-composting and introducing pre-processing the waste. This process involves chopping, pulverizing, stocking, and drying the waste followed by injecting the engineered microorganisms (EM) at various depths in vermi bin during the vermicomposting process. Pre-processing and injection of EM enabled to increase the substrate depth by two-to-three-fold (30 cm). Experimentation was conducted in five vermi bins with same quantity of worms (100 gms of E. fetida in each bin), with different stock loads of EM (0.3ml, 0.4ml, 0.5ml, 0.6ml and 0.7ml) named as Bin 1, Bin 2, Bin 3, Bin 4 and Bin 5 respectively. In parallel, a control (Bin C1) and conventional (Bin C2) vermi bin were also set up to compare the differences observed. The outcome of the study clearly showed that the bin loaded with 0.7ml EM (Bin 5) stock achieved high volume reduction (70%). Moreover, the trail unit loaded with 0.5ml of EM stock (Bin 3) exhibited high biomass growth rate than its counter trail units.

Published: July 2018

One of the current trends in technology is an IoT. IoT stands for Internet of Things. It is interpreted as the communication between devices using IP address. Usage of IoT technology in coal mines reduces the number of untoward incidents. Rescue operation in coal mine deals with the risky mission. The work force inside the mine doesn’t know some explosions taking place in the proximity of mines. The rescue team also cannot understand the conditions inside the mine. The environmental parameters include toxic gases, excessive temperature, Methane leakage as well as the Oxygen. Information from the deployed sensor is transmitted to the control room through Wi-Fi. In order to address the problems in real life conditions prevailing inside the coal mine, we propose a new method to extract the related information and process the same to alert the people who are working in the vicinity of the mine. For this purpose, a framework is designed using a robotic machine integrated with the raspberry pi3 version. A camera is used in the robot so that the live video is transmitted to the Control room. A cooling fan is deployed to reduce the temperature whenever the value exceeds the threshold level. The workers get an alarm through buzzer whenever any hazardous gas is detected. The robot is controlled by means of navigation buttons, which are in turn managed internally by web server.
Network Coding aware Routing for Efficient Communication in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
Authors: Prashanthi V , Suresh Babu D , V. Guru Rao C 
Published: July 2018

Existing approach of routing protocols had only partial support towards energy efficiency. However, none of them had focused on considering network coding aware routing to reduce energy consumption. Majority of the existing solutions in literature to improve the communication performance of MANET has focused on minimum cost routing protocols. There are very less significant studies towards network coding in performing routing in MANET system. Therefore, it is totally unknown how network coding could be used to solve such issues. Throughput in wireless networks can be enhanced with the help of network coding. This approach also increases network lifetime in the cases of devices running on battery, such as wireless sensor nodes. Additionally, network coding achieves a reduction in the number of transmissions needed for transmission of a specific message through the network by making energy usage more efficient. Despite its benefits, however, network coding can have a negative impact on network lifetime if it is implemented excessively. Initially, to achieve the goal of improving throughput, reducing energy efficiency by reducing the number of broadcasting transmissions, a network coding model is created in this study and the MANET broadcast based on network coding is improved by the heuristic principle of Ant Colony Optimization. This study proposes the application of a network coding based dominating set approach to traditional routing protocols like adhoc on demand distance vector (AODV) as a solution to this issue. Coding gain of different topologies with different offer loads is evaluated using network coding. We discussed the performance of Alice-bob, cross, X, and wheel topologies using network coding. The study has paid particular attention to the trade-off between selection of paths compatible with network coding and network lifetime. The present study addresses this compromise that demonstrates that networks with energy restrictions are incompatible with the current network coding strategies based on throughput. One routing issue is attributed particular importance, namely, reduction of overall energy usage and improvement of individual node lifetime through effective routing of a series of traffic demands over the network. A range of analytical formulations is put forth to generate an optimal solution for the issue of multi-path routing. Results show that, by comparison to solutions without network coding, the suggested solutions improve energy efficiency while at the same time satisfying the specified lifetime restrictions.

Published: July 2018

Examinations are an indispensable part of a student’s life. In the conventional mechanism, the question paper generation is time-consuming work for the faculty members of the educational institution. Every educational institute mandatorily expects exam setters to follow its own typesetting format. We have designed the automated question paper setting software to be user-friendly so that, paper setters can overcome from the typographic problem. Presently in most of the educational institutions question papers are set manually. It is time-consuming work and there may be chances of repetition of the same questions. So, in order to make the question paper generation more convenient to use, the web application is developed using Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) that can be accessed from LAN/Intranet.The application comes with the Admin Module and Teachers Module. The Admin grants access to the users by registering them. The faculty can access the system once they are registered. The faculty can enter questions in the database daily as per their free time. In this way, the question pool can be generated. The questions are approved by the chairperson and substandard questions are discarded. The question paper is then generated by selected course experts. The Fisher-Yates Shuffling algorithm used to choose questions randomly from the pool of questions from the database. Text Mining Algorithm aids in duplicity removal from the paper. The generated question paper will be in Word Format. In our application, we assure better security, removal of duplicity, cost-effectiveness, and human intervention avoidance. It can be used by small-scale and large-scale institutions.
