Paper Title: Projection of Temperature and Precipitation using Multiple Linear Regression and Artificial Neural

Network as a Downscaling Methodology for Upper Bhima Basin

Abstract: Study of Climate change effect on water resources is very important for its effective management.

Projection of temperature and precipitation can be performed by using General Circulation Model (GCM)

outputs. GCM can make the projections of climate parameters with different emission scenarios at coarser scale.

However hydrological models require climate parameters at smaller scale Downscaling technique is used for

obtaining small scale climate variables from large scale variables of GCM outputs. In this study downscaling has

been carried out by using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques.

Performance of MLR and ANN models has been evaluated considering Coefficient of determination value (R2).

It has been observed that ANN performs better against MLR Model, showed the results that rainfall distribution

pattern is varied, in monsoon season rainfall decreases while it increases in post monsoon period. Due to its good

evaluation performance such techniques can be applicable for downscaling purpose

Paper Title: SBC-Based Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema Classification System using Deep

Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract: This Raspberry Pi Single-Board Computer-Based Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Diabetic Macular

Edema (DME) Classification System using Deep Convolutional Neural Network through Inception v3 Transfer

Learning and MATLAB digital image processing paradigm based on International Clinical DR and DME

Disease Severity Scale with Python application, which would capture the image of the retina of diabetic patients

to classify the grade, severity, and types of DR; and the grade of DME without using dilating drops. It would

also display, save, search and print the partial diagnosis that can be done to the patients. Diabetic patients,

endocrinologists and ophthalmologists of one of the medical centers in City of San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines

tested the system. Obtained results indicated that the classification of DR and DME, and its characteristics using

the system were accurate and reliable, which could be an assistive device for endocrinologists and

ophthalmologists.

Paper Title: Surveillance FPV Drone with Obstacle Avoidance System

Abstract: The unmanned air vehicle (UAV) is mostly used in inspection and surveillance operations recent.

The UAV is also termed as vertical take-off landing (VTOL), since it is capable of vertical take-off and landing

without need of a runway. The big tunnels, infrastructure and large bridges are inserted using UAV by

photographic inspection. UAVs are also used for surveillance purposes by the military and by the security

guards. Since this is a new technology of the last decade, deep research has to be done.

UAVS have the cross structure arrangement to which the rotor blades are attached at the end points of cross

beams. These rotors are driven by the DC brush motors and motors are powered by the lithium ion rechargeable

battery. The working principle of quad- rotors is the same as the chopper by controlling the rpm of each rotor

blade, due to which the gyroscopic torque will act and the vehicle will move in the desired direction. To hold the

quad- rotor at a stationary position at some height constant rpm of all rotors has to be maintained. This signal is

given by the controller from some distance, which is received by the, and then it processes the signal and drives

the motor via the flight controller and drives the rotors. A quad- rotor is equipped with a high quality camera for

photography and video shooting during surveillance. Since a quad rotor is manoeuvring in air, the wind may

exert a drag force and take it along with it and the quad rotor may hit any obstacle or inspection objects. To

avoid this, it is equipped with the ultrasonic sensors which is capable of sensing the obstacle and realize collision

avoidance between wall or any object.

Paper Title: Design and Implementation of an Efficient Rose Leaf Disease Detection using K-Nearest Neighbours

Abstract: Plants are prone to different diseases caused by multiple reasons like environmental conditions, light,

bacteria, and fungus. These diseases always have some physical characteristics on the leaves, stems, and fruit,

such as changes in natural appearance, spot, size, etc. Due to similar patterns, distinguishing and identifying

category of plant disease is the most challenging task. Therefore, efficient and flawless mechanisms should be

discovered earlier so that accurate identification and prevention can be performed to avoid several losses of the

entire plant. Therefore, an automated identification system can be a key factor in preventing loss in the

cultivation and maintaining high quality of agriculture products. This paper introduces modeling of rose plant

leaf disease classification technique using feature extraction process and supervised learning mechanism. The

outcome of the proposed study justifies the scope of the proposed system in terms of accuracy towards the

classification of different kind of rose plant disease.

Paper Title: Different Types of Attacks on Block Ciphers

Abstract: Cryptanalysis is a very important challenge that faces cryptographers. It has several types that should

be well studied by cryptographers to be able to design cryptosystem more secure and able to resist any type of

attacks. This paper introduces six types of attacks: Linear, Differential , Linear-Differential, Truncated

differential Impossible differential attack and Algebraic attacks. In this paper, algebraic attack is used to

formulate the substitution box(S-box) of a block cipher to system of nonlinear equations and solve this system

by using a classical method called Bases . By Solving these equations, we made algebraic attack on S-box.

Keywords: Linear attack; Differential attack; Algebraic attack; S-box; Bases

Paper Title: Multi-Station Automated Hand Washing System (MSAHWS)

Abstract: The paper presents a design and development of a multi-station automated hand-washing system

(MSAHWS) that could be integrated into overall solution strategies for combating the threat of SARS-Cov-2

infections and minimizing the health and economic devastation the virus spread can inflict. The researchers seek

to create a system that uses a single micro-controller and caters to several users, each of them being served

independently of each other. The MSAHWS development follows a four-part methodology: formulation of the

sanitary, operational, manufacturing and economic requirements; design, modeling, and simulation of the micro-

controller-based control system; MSAHWS hardware prototype development; and system test and data

collection. The MSAHWS design and development focuses on a double-station system that uses a single

Arduino Uno, an ultrasonic sensor for each station, 4 FET‘s, 4 liquid pumps, a water tank, a soap reservoir, a

power supply and a frame to house the system. The non-contact system eliminates possible viral

transmission from one person to another via the hand washing machine yet ensures the required cleanliness of

the hands. The system is first simulated in PROTEUS to test its functionality and responses based on the

demanded or required criteria. A prototype is then built to test and verify the system‘s actual operation and

responses and thence to make the necessary adjustment of parameters to realize an acceptable performance level.

Tests show that all the requirements are met. Photos of the built and tested prototype, a diagram of the initial

system design concept, a screen capture of the control system software model, a schematic diagram of the

control system, a sketch with dimensions of the hand washing machine frame or housing, and the flowchart on

which the Arduino script is developed. The operation and user-interaction of the actual system is also described.

The control system program is written such that the resulting hand washing activity complies with the WHO

36-43

standard on hand washing duration and makes entirely possible a complete and hygienic hand washing activity

with soap and water. The system is envisioned for strategic deployment in public and private areas like public

markets, banks, hospitals, schools, offices, residences, and many others. The paper has shown that it is possible

to control multiple hand washing stations, each acting independently of each other, using a single micro-

controller and a proper control system programming.

Paper Title: Utilization of Grid Neural Network Model and RT-PCR test to detect the COVID-19 Patients and to

avoid the Spreading of SARS-CoV-2

Abstract: In December 2019, a new virus, also named a novel coronavirus, started as an emerging pathogen

for humans and resulted in a pandemic. World Health Organization (WHO) called this novel coronavirus as

COVID-19 on 11 February 2020, and the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute

respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), which is a positive-stranded RNA virus. This paper proposed an artificial

neural network model in a grid computing system to identify COVID-19 patients. It can help us to identify the

suspected patients and shortlist those patients who need to check by the RT-PCR test kit. The purpose of this

research is to increase the time efficiency to test those patients, which has a higher chance of getting affected by

COVID-19. Increasing the time efficiency in this type of pandemic situation can make a huge impact on

reducing the fatality rate. This is because, according to ICMR, 1,191,946 samples have been tested as of 5 May,

and 46,433 individuals have been confirmed positive. It means that only 3.85% of persons get positive results

and 96.15% persons with a negative result. It implies that the time to test this 96.15% of cases is wasted. Hence

we aim to detect the COVID-19 patients in less time and utilize this large amount of time to test those at higher

risk of being affected by this epidemic (COVID-19). This model will also help those countries to overcome the

problem of the shortage of this type of test kits such as - RT-PCR.

Paper Title: Abstraction, the Big Idea, and it’s Significance in Science and Technology Education

Abstract: this paper discusses the role of abstraction in science and technology education. It starts with a

humble introduction of abstraction in general, while discussing the first few encounters of a learner with this

idea. Significance of abstraction and the required motivation level of learner are also discussed. An expected

change in the attitude of a learner at transition to higher studies is proposed. Thereafter the contribution of

abstraction in the evolution of Computer Science and Engineering is discussed in some detail. Moreover a

deduction of the Computer Science Curriculum is also shown along the same line as its evolution. Finally the

paper concludes with emphasizing the importance of understanding links between different layers of

abstractions.

Paper Title: Fpga Implementation of Memory Bists using Single Interface

Abstract: The development of IC integration technologies leads to an extensive use of memories and buffers

in different memory intensive applications. Therefore, probability of occurrence of fault in every single read and

writes operation is increased in Memory BIST (MBIST). There were many testing approaches that were

developed for efficient testing and diagnosis of fault. However, all algorithms are not strengthened enough to

detect all possible faults that may be present due to fabrication errors or environmental disturbance. Keeping this

in mind and taking the possibility of development of efficient algorithm a hybrid memory testing algorithm is

presented. To overcome those drawbacks, pipelining based MBIST designed to detect the all the types of

memory faults by utilizing March-C testing algorithm. By introducing the Pipelining approach, majorly path

delays are reducing. The proposed architecture designed and verified using Xilinx ISE environment under

various testing methods with respect to the different category of memories. The simulation and synthesis results

shows that the proposed method shows the enhanced performance with the hardware resource utilization and

delay consumption compared to the conventional approaches.

Paper Title: Network Intrusion Detection using a Deep Learning Approach

Abstract: At present situation network communication is at high risk for external and internal attacks due to

large number of applications in various fields. The network traffic can be monitored to determine abnormality

for software or hardware security mechanism in the network using Intrusion Detection System (IDS). As

attackers always change their techniques of attack and find alternative attack methods, IDS must also evolve in

response by adopting more sophisticated methods of detection .The huge growth in the data and the significant

advances in computer hardware technologies resulted in the new studies existence in the deep learning field,

including ID. Deep Learning (DL) is a subgroup of Machine Learning (ML) which is hinged on data description.

The new model based on deep learning is presented in this research work to activate operation of IDS from

modern networks. Model depicts combination of deep learning and machine learning, having capacity of wide

range accurate analysis of traffic network. The new approach proposes non-symmetric deep auto encoder

(NDAE) for learning the features in unsupervised manner. Furthermore, classification model is constructed

using stacked NDAEs for classification. The performance is evaluated using a network intrusion detection

analysis dataset, particularly the WSN Trace dataset. The contribution work is to implement advanced deep

learning algorithm consists IDS use, which are efficient in taking instant measures in order to stop or minimize

the malicious actions.

Paper Title: Evaluation of a Potential Antibacterial, Produced by Streptomyces Cinereoruber Sp. Isolated from

Chlika lake.

Abstract: Streptomyces, isolated from marine and estuarine habitat have been widely recognized as a

potential source of antifungal, anti-tumour, anti-bacterial compounds. In the present study, the antimicrobial

agent production potential of a Streptomyces cinereoruber sp was evaluated. The selective isolation of the strain

was carried out on starch casein agar. The primary screening of the Streptomyces isolate was done by cross

streak method against pathogenic test strains Escherichia.coli MTCC 82, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96,

Bacillus cereus IP406 and Salmonella typhi MTCC 734 and Micrococcus leuteus and the antimicrobial property

against Micrococcus leuteus was confirmed. The secondary screening was carried out by using the culture

supernatant against the test strain by agar well diffusion method. The growth and antimicrobial production

ability of the strain against Micrococcus leuteus was studied. The antimicrobial agent production was also

observed till pH 11 and NaCl concentration 3% (w/v). The partially purified compound showed a peak similar to

streptomycin in HPLC. The culture condition for the production of the compound was optimised.

Paper Title: How India and its Neighbors are doing during Covid-19 Pandemics- a Critical Analysis

Abstract: The prime objective of this work is to understand how India & its neighbors are doing during the

ongoing period of Covid-19 pandemics. We have used the web crawlers to find specific data of India from

official website www.mohfw.gov.in. We also referred to a dataset of global cases from Gitub for our work. We

have analyzed the covid19 cases from 22/1/2020 till 1/5/2020. We applied a time series prediction model to

forecast the possible deaths for next five days. We have taken into account six of our neighbors excluding China

to understand how India is doing in comparison to our neighbors. We observed that considering the size of India

population India has done fairly well. However the number of increasing cases in India particularly in the month

of May needs a serious call from Indian Govt. We have presented the outcomes of our work through different

kinds of comparisons & analysis. He have presented the prediction of next ten days for India & its neighbors for

the duration 4/5/2020 to 13/5/2020

Paper Title: Techniques for Malignant Melanoma Diagnosis: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract: Malignant melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer. If melanoma detection and diagnosis is

performed in its early stages, the probabilities of recovery and survival are higher. Dermoscopy is a manual

method which is applied by doctors to diagnose this disease, but it strongly depends on the experience of the

specialist who performs this skin assessment. Although, many proposals have been made for automated

detection and diagnosis of malignant melanoma based on images processing, there are still improvement

opportunities for melanoma diagnosis. This paper aims to identify the current status of the latest researches

related to techniques for malignant melanoma diagnosis based on images analysis, considering the three research

questions that have been elaborated for the systematic literature review: Q1) Which are the latest methods for

80-86

malignant melanoma detection? Q2) Which systems for malignant melanoma diagnosis have been implemented

in the last 5 years? And Q3) Which CAD systems for malignant melanoma detection have been developed?

Furthermore, a cross-analysis of the outcome was performed. The results propose the implementation of systems

using Inception V3 and the classifier Support Vector Machine, which achieved high accuracies in malignant

melanoma diagnosis based on images processing.

Paper Title: Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques, Features and Obstacles in the Cataract

Diagnosis

Abstract: Cataract is a degenerative condition that, according to estimations, will rise globally. Even though

there are various proposals about its diagnosis, there are remaining problems to be solved. This paper aims to

identify the current situation of the recent investigations on cataract diagnosis using a framework to conduct the

literature review with the intention of answering the following research questions: RQ1) Which are the existing

methods for cataract diagnosis? RQ2) Which are the features considered for the diagnosis of cataracts? RQ3)

Which is the existing classification when diagnosing cataracts? RQ4) And Which obstacles arise when

diagnosing cataracts? Additionally, a cross-analysis of the results was made. The results showed that new

research is required in: (1) the classification of ―congenital cataract‖ and, (2) portable solutions, which are

necessary to make cataract diagnoses easily and at a low cost.

Keywords: Cataract Diagnosis, Image Processing, Ophthalmology, Machine Learning Techniques, Deep

Learning Techniques.

Paper Title: Displacement Analysis of RC Frames and Its Seismic Performance Appraisal

Abstract: In India when structure engineer‘s analysis and design a structure like buildings, they are checking

it for displacement because of safety and control of damages; so in this paper a set of frames with different

height of reinforced moment resisting frames were analyzed by two popular methods of performance-based

plastic design method and direct displacement-based design method. For calculation of base shear, the IS code

has been used in both methods and ETABS software used for seismic performance evaluation by nonlinear static

pushover analysis. The results of analysis with different methods compared by suitable parameters and graphs,

such as: (a) story lateral force, (b) beam seismic moment, (c) displacement profile and (d) capacity curve.

Results shows acceptable performance in 2 methods in terms of capacity and deformation.

Keywords: Performance-based plastic design, displacement profile, Seismic performance, Direct displacement-

based design, beam seismic moment, capacity curve.

Paper Title: Placement of PV Units Considering Uncertainties of Generation and Load in Distribution Systems

Abstract: In conventional power system the transmission and distribution (T&D) losses is a major concern.

Renewable energy resources placed at load centers can reduce the T&D losses. For power system planners and

researchers it is essential to find the optimal size and position of renewable energy resources to be place in

distribution networks. Renewable energy source such as solar energy is abundantly present in the environment.

102-106

With the help of solar photovoltaic (SPV) system solar energy can be converted to electrical energy. Placement

of SPV in distribution system is an interesting area for researchers and planners, the random placement of SPV

in distribution system leads to more power losses and poor voltage profile. In this article mathematical

modelling of time varying nature of SPV and variable load has been explained and particle swarm optimization

(PSO) method is proposed to find the best size and location of the SPV system. This method is tested on IEEE

33 bus system. For the validation of result existing technique based on analytical expression is selected. It is

found that PSO gives better result in compare to analytical method.

Keywords: Solar photovoltaic system, Multi-objective index, Time varying solar irradiance, Power system

optimization, Particle swarm optimization.

Paper Title: Maximizing Machine Capacity by Improving Efficiency using Linear Programming Model

Abstract: In the global manufacturing system, machine performance is considered to be one of the vital role

in organization wellbeing. In specific analysing the capacity utilization of machines in each shift is a big

challenging job in industrial organization. The primary importance is keeping the machines in uptime condition

at the same time loading the jobs in machines decides the capacity usage of machines to do the useful jobs. In

this paper focus is made on the capacity planning of machines in production shift. capacity utilization measures

the actual capacity of machine with respect to the potential output within a specific period. In real situations if

the demand for the product increases the production capacity also increases but at the same time if the demand

falls capacity will also become very low. Hence in this work attempt has been made to develop a mathematical

model for machine capacity planning using linear programming model solved by using LINDO software.

Keywords: Capacity utilization,uptime,LINDO, Linear Programming

Paper Title: Innovative Way to Decrease the Water Consumption of Direct Evaporative Air-Cooler

Abstract: In the present study the existing direct evaporative coolers (DEC) is modified in such a way that

DEC consume less amount of water and provide better cooling effect. In desert area, water consumption by air

cooler is a serious problem. Therefore, the present study addressed this issue and primary objective of the study

is to minimize the consumption of water. For this purpose, the property of the endothermic reaction is utilized.

There are few salts that produce endothermic reaction if it is diluted in water. Those salt crystals absorb heat

from the surrounding environment (water) and ultimately the temperature of the overall solution gets reduced.

This cold solution is then passed through honeycomb cooling pad, as a result more amount of air can be cooled

using the same volume of water as compared to the traditional air-cooler. Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl),

Ammonium Nitrite (NH4NO3) salts satisfy the basic criteria for the endothermic reaction but NH4Cl will be

more useful to use in the air-coolers, as Ammonium Nitrite is costlier and also hazardous. A salt water separator

arrangement also attached with modified air-cooler which will help to regenerate Ammonium Chloride crystal

from solution with the help of solar energy. In this study, firstly discussed about proposed design of an air-cooler

system, which is able to nicely handle chemical solution. Then compared the study with experimental outcome

which have been carried out with and without using salt. From the result it has been observed that modified

design of air cooler has great potential to improve the traditional air cooler in terms of cooling effect and water

consumption.

Keywords: direct evaporative cooler; NH4Cl; honeycomb cooling pad; modified air-cooler design.

Paper Title: Thermal Performance of Composite Roof Structures with Insulating Layers in Non-Conditioned

Buildings for Hot-Dry Climate

Abstract: The roof configurations with an insulating layer and their impact on hourly floating temperature

analyzed in a hot-dry climate context. A predefined computer program using a modified Fourier admittance

method utilized as the primary research. The thermal performance of ten composite roof structures evaluated to

obtain optimal roof structure for hot-dry climate, Jodhpur. Nine composite roof structures with an insulation

layer and one without insulation layer as the base case were analyzed for the summer months (April-September).

The utilization of roof thermal insulation showed a significant influence on the overall thermal performance of

roofs. It also revealed that minimum temperature variation found about 8.8 0C for the composite roof structure

of Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) with foam concrete insulation (i.e., RF-5) with thicknesses 150 mm and

140 mm respectively. The analysis assessed that composite roof structure with an insulating layer is a useful

122-127

technique to reduced indoor temperature in non-conditioned buildings of hot-dry climate.

Paper Title: Techniques for Images Processing, Factors and Results of Colposcopy to Diagnose Cervical Cancer

Abstract: The colposcopy is a test that is performed if you have relationed symptoms with cancer or if the

result of Pap smears test gives an abnormal cells; however, it has a continue problem because there are few

doctors who know about colposcopy and it leads to misinterpretation. Therefore, in the last years various

proposals have emerged to solve this problem. The present study aims to identify the current state of the latest

research related to the detection of cervical cancer during the colposcopy test using the image evaluation. A

framework is proposed based on 3 research questions: (1) What techniques are used for image processing with

colposcopy to diagnose cervical cancer? (2) What are the factors that help diagnose cervical cancer during

colposcopy? And (3) What results corroborate or provide the diagnosis produced by the colposcopy test in the

detection of cervical cancer? One of the results proposes that the use of Convolution Neural Network (CNN)

improves the sensitivity of the diagnosis of cervical cancer, since it achieved greater precision in colposcopy

image processing. Furthermore, the diagnosis can be corroborated with the ―results‖ of the ―Biopsy‖ and ―Expert

Judgment‖.

Keywords: Colposcopy, Colposcopy techniques, Colposcopy image, Convolutional Neuronal Network.

Technique

Abstract: This paper presents Switched-Capacitor based Quadruple Boost 9-Level Inverter topology which

possesses several advantages over conventional MLI types, SCMLI topologies. The self-voltage balancing

capability of switched capacitors which reduces complexity in control is compared with existing SCMLI

topology. The simulation study of the SCQB9LI topology is carried out. Switched capacitors are designed for

self-voltage balancing nature. The MLS-PWM strategy is employed for generating gate pulses. The performance

of the chosen inverter topology is investigated for different modulation indices and its results are presented. A

comparative study with conventional SCMLI topologies proves the effectiveness of SCQB9LI topology.

Keywords: Multicarrier Level Shifted Pulse Width Modulation (MLS-PWM) technique, Quadruple Boost,

Paper Title: Enriching E-Commerce Fraud Detection by using Machine Learning

Abstract: As there has been a proliferation of the internet platform, it has been increasingly getting affordable

for a lot of individuals. The rise has been instrumental in achieving several services including the E-commerce

platform. This has led to an unprecedented increase in the amount of fraud that is being committed on this

platform. The fraud that is being committed on the E-commerce platforms is very different from the frauds

committed on other platforms online. Numerous researches have been performed to combat the evils of credit

card frauds and money laundering rings. But there is a severe lack of research on the fraud that is committed on

the E-commerce platform. Therefore, this research paper defines an innovative approach for the identification of

fraud on E-commerce platforms through the implementation of machine learning approaches. The presented

technique utilizes Linear Clustering, Entropy Estimation and Frequent itemset mining in addition to the

inclusion of Artificial Neural Networks, Hypergraph formation and Fuzzy classification. The implementation of

this system will give more security for E-commerce platform-based transactions by identifying fraudulent

activities with better efficiency. The methodology has been tested extensively through rigorous experimentation

to evaluate the performance metrics which yielded significantly positive results.

Keywords: Linear Clustering, Entropy Estimation, Frequent Itemset, Hyper graph, Artificial Neural Network,

Fuzzy Classification.

Network

Abstract: In a wireless mesh network, the network coding algorithm used to improve network efficiency. In

this paper, we have implemented the Q-learning algorithm with CSMA/CA as in distributed co-ordination

function along with multi-path transfer protocol (MPTP). The functioning of CSMA/CA is based on physical

carrier sensing. Q-learning algorithm, along with network coding, is implemented to achieve better throughput.

Our proposed method has used to reduce the packet loss and to minimize the end to end delay of the network

communication. Also, it will improve the possibility of receiver buffer blocking.

Paper Title: Cervical Cancer: Machine Learning Techniques for Detection, Risk Factors and Prevention

Measures

Abstract: Cervical Cancer is considered the fourth most common female malignancy worldwide and represents

a major global health challenge. As a result, in recent years, various proposals and researches have been

conducted. This study aims to analyze the data presented in current researches regarding cervical cancer and

contribute to future research, all through the framework of literature review, based on 3 research questions: Q1:

What are the risk factors that cause cervical cancer? Q2: What preventive measures are currently established for

cervical cancer? and, Q3: What are the techniques to detect cervical cancer? Findings show that detection

techniques are complementary since they are categorized under machine learning. Therefore, we recommend

that further study be promoted in these techniques as they are helpful in the detection process. In addition, risk

factors can be considered for a greater scope in detection, such as HPV infection, since it is the most relevant

factor for the development of cervical cancer. Finally, we suggest to conduct further research on preventive

158-163

measures for cervical cancer.

Paper Title: Al-Hadba Minaret in the Last 100 Years

Abstract: Al-Hadba minaret is located in a central location on the right side of the river Tigris within the city of

Mosul North of Iraq. It is one of the important heritage landmarks in Iraq, Mostly characterized by its curvature

and height. It was built before more than 800 years. Later, It was destroyed due to military actions in the summer

of 2017. Recently plans for reconstruction are going on. Accordingly, many different data has to be collected

164-166

and organized to help form a model closer to the original shape. Prior to its destruction, careful surveying was

performed to record the shape and movement of the minaret. This research provides a description of the results

of this work. For a century, the minaret leaning has been slowly growing closer to the danger point. Modern

construction techniques can be used to rebuild a more stable structure and avoid that movement.

Keywords: AlHadba minaret, Mosul heritage, leaning, deformation surveying.

Paper Title: V/C Digital Controlled DC-DC Converter

Abstract: In this paper, the switching of dc-dc converter using voltage/current digital control is proposed. It is

the combination of existed digital average voltage and digital average current controls. The stability analysis of

V/C digital controlled dc-dc converter is derived by using sampled data model. The transient analysis of V/C

digital controlled dc-dc converter is also derived by using z-domain small signal model. The proposed V/C

digital controlled dc-dc converter has over current protection, fast load transient response, no sub-harmonic

oscillations at any value of duty cycle, and wider stability range. The proposed system is analysed with a simple

buck converter. The output voltage and inductor current weighting factors influence the stability boundary and

transient performances of V/C digital controlled dc-dc converter. The stability analysis and transient analysis is

investigated and verified by circuit simulations.

Keywords: sampled data modelling, stability analysis, transfer function, transient analysis, z-domain small

signal modelling.

Paper Title: Smart Warehouse Governance using AI and Raspberry Pi

Abstract: Sorting is the process of systematic selection and arrangement. Sorting involves intense labor work.

The use of Artificial Intelligence in recognizing the objects by their color makes the process of sorting

completely autonomous. Modern Industries require modern solutions for the problems encountered during the

process of sorting. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, the machines that can recognize an object by their

color proves to be a primary solution that can completely automate the process of sorting. This paper presents a

five-axis arm mounted on a robotic model that makes use of a color sorting technique. It performs pick and place

operations in real-time. The color sorting technique detects the color of the object in the frame captured by the

camera. The frame size is used to detect the position of the object in the real world. The robot model moves

according to the frame size of the object. Raspberry Pi microcontroller drives the servo motor and dc motor to

move the five-axis arm and the robotic model to sort and perform pick and place operation based on their color.

The color sorting algorithm is based on the Hue-Saturation-Value model. This model finds its application in

places where sorting is done based on color and not the object itself. For example, it is used to sort objects like

different colored clothes, food items, etc. It also finds its application in very large scale warehouses such as

Amazon, Flipkart, etc which focusses on smart automated warehouses that reduce the labor requirements.

Paper Title: Implementation of an Automated System in the Measurement of Temperature in Broken Dynamic

Equipment

Abstract: This article presents a titration project describing the implementation in the rotodynamic equipment

of an economical automated temperature module, as a preventive solution for future failures caused by the lack

of analysis in the increase or decrease in temperature. The project is currently contextualized in the area of

industry, first, providing background to frame the importance of temperature control and measurement and also

know what its evolution has been like. Immediately focuses on explaining the theoretical basis for giving context

to the reader. For the purpose of detecting the increase or decrease of heat in machinery by implementing a

monitoring system. The development of the project is based on the use of an LM35 transistor that connected to

an Arduino Uno through various cables, will display the temperature measurement and make interface of the

obtained results that will be reflected in a 2x16 LCD screen. The project is applied in a prototype bench in three

key parts of the pulley, and in the two bearings to make the simulations, then perform corresponding tests and

check that theory. A simple and lower cost system, but above all efficient that meets the expectations of the

problem presented.

Paper Title: Threats and Protection on E-Sim

Abstract: Threats involve various risks and threats are associated with the embedded SIM technology, for

instance, the Internet of things (IoT) identity. IoT refers to the working capabilities enabling the allocation of

unique identifiers (UID) to effectively connect with the related devices thus enhancing communication. An e-

SIM application cannot produce reliable and actual data used to obtain the subscriber‘s anticipated outcome. The

SIM technology does not provide some reliable data that can be employed by the user to formulate some serious

productive outcomes. Failure by the technology to process and automatically provide the user with the

notification suppose of any infringement or hacking. SIM-jacking is the other notable threats facing the

embedded universal integrated connectivity card (e-UICC). Incompetent Log Rhythm Al Engine influences the

fraudster hacking experience due to failure protections within the operational surrounding. The e-SIM

technology system lacks timely threat, risk, and other various vital operations predictability to react to the

experienced unbearable operations challenges induced by the fraudsters. Similarly, the embedded SIM incurs the

insider threats whereby the service providers fail to secure the much-needed privacy concerning an individual‘s

vital information. The situations of personal data leakage are witnessed within the system operations.The e-SIM

hijacking enables the fraudsters to secretly obtain the victim‘s vital data of the subscriber, hijack, and receive the

information intended to the individual to his/her personal phone. The process results to complete mobile account

operations by the hacker resulting to further access to the victim‘s bank information and transfer of cash. The

other threat experienced by e-SIM users is the provision of false information. The SIM subscribers normally fall

into traps of the fraudsters by receiving short messages (SMS) citing assistance kind of news from the service

providers, thus drawing the victim‘s bank amount. Identity fraud and device poisoning are other additional

threats encountered in the application of e-SIM. Generally, the entire process of fraud invasion and victimization

influence the victim‘s business decisions of the affected individuals. Protections focuses on the embedded SIM

provides greater security in addition to a re-programmable technological system, unlike the physical SIM card.

The subscriber's personal information is not contained within the e-SIM but with the service providers, thus

enhancing its effectiveness. An e-SIM enables the consumers to effectively shift carriers between the T-Mobile

and Sprint without physical movement, thus supportive of security systems. Despite the security measures put

into place, e-SIM like any other SIM card experiences information theft. Therefore, the service providers should

encounter the emerging fraudster effects by proper monitoring of the network system to enable security

restrictions. The system should induce strict conditions that enable the evaluation and differentiation between the

IoT and the non-IoT devices during their operation.

Paper Title: Evaluation of a Potential Antibacterial, Produced by Streptomyces Cinereoruber Sp. Isolated from

Chlika lake.

Abstract: Streptomyces, isolated from marine and estuarine habitat have been widely recognized as a potential

source of antifungal, anti-tumour, anti-bacterial compounds. In the present study, the antimicrobial agent

production potential of a Streptomyces cinereoruber sp was evaluated. The selective isolation of the strain was

carried out on starch casein agar. The primary screening of the Streptomyces isolate was done by cross streak

method against pathogenic test strains Escherichia.coli MTCC 82, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96, Bacillus

cereus IP406 and Salmonella typhi MTCC 734 and Micrococcus leuteus and the antimicrobial property against

Micrococcus leuteus was confirmed. The secondary screening was carried out by using the culture supernatant

against the test strain by agar well diffusion method. The growth and antimicrobial production ability of the

strain against Micrococcus leuteus was studied. The antimicrobial agent production was also observed till pH 11

and NaCl concentration 3% (w/v). The partially purified compound showed a peak similar to streptomycin in

HPLC. The culture condition for the production of the compound was optimised.

Paper Title: Compression Studies on LoRa Antenna Design for IoT Applications

Abstract: In this paper, a review on the LoRa antenna design for IoT application is studied. The expansion of

the Internet of Things ( IoT) has led the industry to develop new communication solutions, as current protocols

are inadequate in terms of scope and energy efficiency to satisfy IoT requirements. Before studying antenna

design, some background LoRa and IoT were discussed at beginning of the paper. LoRaWAN is an open

LPWAN standard developed by LoRa Alliance and has main characteristics such as low energy consumption,

long-range communication, builtin protection and GPS-free positioning. Besides, a comparison according to the

method, resonance frequency, material, size of the antenna and the output is shown in the form of table. In

addition, the strength and the weakness of each of the antenna design were discussed before the end of the paper.

Keywords: LoRa, IoT, antenna design, resonance frequency.

Paper Title: Design of Compact MIMO Antenna for 5G Mobile Terminal

Abstract: This report gives the research work carried out for design and analysis of MIMO antenna using two

identical Microstrip slot radiators having enhanced isolation. The slot radiators offer compact size in order to

accommodate other electronic components for reduction of volume of the wireless communication system. The

defected ground structure is formed on the ground plane in between the antenna elements and feed lines to

improve the isolation between them. The substrate used for constructing the antenna is FR-4 having the

measurements of 26mm x 22mm x 0.8mm and it has the relative permittivity of 4.4. The printed microfilm strip

etched on the opposite side of the substratum is used to couple the signal to each antenna. The HFSS software is

used in this paper for designing the antenna and for checking the performance of the antenna. The -10dB

bandwidth is 1.1GHz in the frequency range of 3.1 GHZ to 4.2GHz. The maximum isolation obtained after

simulation is -23.1dB at 3.13GHz. The maximum gain of 2.26dB is obtained. Simulated radiation diagram of the

designed antenna indicates that it is a good radiator for 5G applications in the sub 6GHz frequency band.

Paper Title: Health and Housing for Urban Poor in India Post Covid-19

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has built a troublesome new standard for everybody through shelter-in-

place systems and physical and social distancing guidelines. Yet for billions of urban underprivileged, certain

guidelines aren‘t merely troublesome; they‘re radically impracticable. Social and physical distancing is a

severely significant acknowledgement to the pandemic COVID-19 however, it additionally implies that

occupants must have sufficient space, services and social security nets to sustain such an order. It is candidly not

the fact over cities in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Health facilities and services are deficient in terms of the

transition from state to local level causing negligence of slum areas at global to micro-level. These dwellers of

slums area accustomed to unhygienic and un-sanitized environment much on a regular basis. Majority of slums

are vastly located near urban centers i.e. in and around in economically less developed countries, experiencing

urbanization at a greater rate compared to more developed countries. Many countries often lack the ability to

provide infrastructure like roads, affordable housing, basic services like water, sanitation etc., sufficiently for in-

fluxing people in the cities due to urbanization creating a big concern for the country. Health policies need to

208-216

consider equity and social justice for urban poor in order to equally uplift them in the society. The paper deals

with the issues faced by the urban poor in India and the programs and policies that had been issued over time

during the past which could not suffice to positively impact the downfalls of these people. The paper also

highlights the health conditions of these urban poor and the areas where it has been lacking behind. The

pandemic has caused the nation to come to a halt but the urban poor having no such privilege to comply with the

situation are forced to thrive in degrading conditions. The research paper will help figure out trigger areas for

downfall of these inhabitants of the nation and formulate strategies to counteract the same in post COVID-19

situation.

Paper Title: Development of Low Frequency Small Signal Amplifier using BJT-JFET in Sziklai Pair Topology

Abstract: A new PSpice Model of BJT and JFET is proposed and its hybrid combination is used in Sziklai pair

topology to design small signal amplifier. The proposed amplifier with maximum voltage gain 30.41, maximum

current gain 43.05 and THD 2.44% is capable of amplifying low magnitude signals in a frequency range

distributed from 3.035Hz to 93.808Hz. This feature explores the possibility to use proposed amplifier circuit in

EEG, seismographs and underwater communication circuits. Three different circuit/device combinations are also

exposed during the exploration of proposed amplifier and therefore mentioned with primary details. Qualitative

behaviour, e.g. temperature dependency, noise behaviour, effect of the variation of biasing resistances and

capacitors, small signal AC analysis etc., of the proposed circuit, is also studied to observe its performance under

different environment

Paper Title: Deep Transform Learning Vision Accuracy Analysis on GPU using Tensor Flow

Abstract: Transfer learning is one of the most amazing concepts in machine learning and A.I. Transfer learning 224-227

is completely unsupervised model. Transfer learning is a machine learning technique in which a network that has

been trained to perform a specific task is being reused or repurposed as a starting point to perform another

similar task. For this work I used ImageNet Dataset and MobileNet model to analyse Accuracy performance of

my Deep Transform learning model on GPU of Intel® Core™ i3-7100U CPU using TensorFlow 2.0 Hub and

Keras. ImageNet is an open source Large-Scale dataset of images consisting of 1000 classes and over 1.5 million

images. And my overall idea is to analyse accuracy of Vision performance on the very poor network

configuration. This work reached an Accuracy almost near to 100% on GPU of Intel® Core™ i3-7100U CPU

which is great result with datasets used in this work are not easy to deal and having a lot of classes. That‘s why

it‘s impacting the performance of the network. To classify and predict from tons of images from more classes on

low configured network is really challenging one, it‘s a great thing the computer vision accuracy showed an

excellent vision nearly 100% on GPU in my work.

Paper Title: Reducing Defects on Cam Shaft by Six Sigma Methodology

Abstract: The efficiency of an IC engine is mainly depends on opening and closing of inlet and outlet valves.

The valves are operated by cam shaft. So cam shaft must be free from defects to maintain proper combustion of

a internal combustion engine. Thus we are focusing to reduce the defects and improving quality in the

manufacturing process and operations of a cam shaft in manufacturing industry for different automotives. In

camshaft manufacturing the considerable defects are material selection, changing their mechanical properties

while machining, temperature defects, casting defects, tolerances and surface roughness. So manufactured cam

shaft has to overcome above defects for safe operating of valves. Six Sigma is a business technique and a

methodical philosophy utilization of which prompts achievement in benefit through quantum gain in item

quality, consumer loyalty and efficiency. The goal was to diminish the quantity of deformities to as low as 3.4

parts per million chances. Methodology used: DMAIC is one of the tool of six sigma used to improve the

process and also to find root causes for any problem to reduce the defects occuring in any industry. we are using

DMAIC tool to reduce defects and improve quality. DMAIC stands for define, measure, analyze, improve,

control.

Keywords: Six sigma, DMAIC, defects per million opportunities, control charts, xbar chart.

Paper Title: A Machine Learning Approach for Ecg Analysis for Emotions

Abstract: Emotions are feelings which one can feel and are hard to be put in a form by a person .However they

reflect the mental state of a person. Emotions like joy and sadness can be somehow detected from the facial

expressions or through the body language. But these emotions do have an impact upon our system. An

individual‘s electrocardiogram is a way through which one can know the impact of different parameters such as

stress, joy, sadness, anger on the mechanism of our body. The emotions such as anger, sadness have an adverse

effect on the cardio system and is seen in the form of abnormal ECG which can be a good pointer to a counselor

when finding out the reasons and diagnosis. The decomposition technique along with the Hilbert transform can

be used for feature retrieval. The different emotions are detected through the binary classification technique

Paper Title: IoT Based Underground Drainage Monitoring System

Abstract: Underground drainage monitoring system plays an important role in keeping the cities clean and

healthy. Compared to other countries, India consists of highest number of sewage workers. Exposure of sewage

workers to poisonous gases like hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, ammonia,

nitrogen oxide increases the death of the sewage workers. The main aim of this project is to design a network

system which helps in monitoring poisonous gases present in sewage. Whenever the gas level crosses the

threshold value, the information with different gas ppm values is displayed in the smart phone through the app. It

also indicates whether it is safe for the manual scavengers to work in the environment or not.

Paper Title: Trajectory Based Location Prediction and Enriched Ontological User Profiles for Efficient

Website Recommendation

Abstract: The spread over of huge amount of information in the vast area of internet makes difficult for the

users to obtain the search items that are relevant to them. The adoption of web usage mining helps to discover

the accurate search results that satisfy their requirements. To fulfill their need, it is necessary to know their

preferences of search at various contexts. In general, the user profiles are used to determine the taste of the

users. The traditional method of user profiling does not provide a complete detail regarding their search. In

addition, the search preference of the individuals varies in accordance with time and

location. The user profiles do not update the dynamic location changes of the users. The traditional location

based recommendation systems suggest the search results based on their location to compensate the dynamic

preferences of the users. The drawbacks of the conventional systems are resolved by the Location and User

Profile (LUP) based recommendation system. To attain a higher user satisfaction by providing accurate search

results, a trajectory based location prediction and enriched ontological user profiles to recommend the

appropriate websites to the users is proposed in this paper. In this article, we suggest a novel method for

predicting the location of a user's profile using Semantic Trajectory Pattern (STP), based on both the place and

semantic features of user trajectories. Our prediction model 's central concept is based on a novel cluster-based

prediction approach that evaluates the location of user search data based on the regular activities of related users

in the same cluster, calculated by evaluating the typical behavior of users in semantic trajectories. The

combination of location information along with enriched ontological user profiles improves the efficiency of

the proposed web recommendation system. The experimental results are evaluated using recall, precision and F-

measure metrics.

Keywords: Geographic mining , Ontological user profiles, semantic mining, Trajectory pattern mining,

Web usage mining.

Paper Title: IoT based Patient Health Care for COVID 19 Centre

Abstract: In this paper, COVID 19 centre monitoring and management system has been proposed and

integration of different sensor network with Internet of Things (IoT). The sensors implemented can

communicate with data collection and processing unit. The data collection done by that unit can directly

transferred to cloud using internet connectivity at COVID 19 centre. Therefore work aimed to propose COVID

19 centre management with IoT based approach to handle medical services and patient monitoring and treatment

work flow. In the experimented model, Node MCU ESP8266 controller and temperature sensor (DHT11) are

integrated. A system has capability to monitor and control COVID 19 centre services and patient monitoring via

remote connection. It is evaluated with three temperature sensors connected to measure temperature of patients.

Mobile based blynk has been utilized for the cloud based IoT implementation. Sensor sends data over blynk

server and then can be seen anywhere using smart phone application. In addition, when patient get fever more

than regular value, an alert was sent to authority in a quick time. After results, it is indicated that the developed

system has effective potential to work in pandemic situation and has technological feasibility. The benefits of

implemented research methods are useful in digital health management in pandemic scenario. Even hospitals,

COVID centers, intensive care unit (ICU) can be operated effectively and patient diagnosis application based on

online database has wide scope in the area of internet of things and patient health management.

Paper Title: Voice Controlled Fire Fighting Robot

Abstract: Even though there are a lot of advancements in technology, there have been an increased number of

devastating losses in the field of fire-fighting. Fire accidents that occur in industries like atomic power plants,

petroleum refineries, chemical factories and other large-scale fire industries end in quite serious consequences

which can cause injuries or even death of individuals. Therefore, this paper is enhanced to develop an automated

fire extinguishing robotic vehicle that saves the lives of firefighters and other persons in those areas. The

proposed robotic vehicle is controlled using specified speech commands. The language input is more familiar

which makes interaction with the robotic vehicle much easier. The advantages of voice-controlled robots are

hands-free and rapid data input operations. The speech recognition process is done in such a way that it

recognizes specified commands from the user and the designed robot navigates based on the instructions via the

speech commands. The fire can be extinguished using a water tank that is fitted along with the robotic vehicle.

Consequently, the site of fire is live monitored using ESP 32 and the status of the fire zone is updated to the user

through message.

Keywords: Arduino, ESP32, Fire extinguishing, Live monitoring.

Paper Title: Implementation of Iterative bilateral filtering for removal of Rician noise in MR images using FPGA

Abstract: Magnetic resonance image noise reduction is important to process further and visual analysis.

Bilateral filter is denoises image and also preserves edge. It proposes Iterative bilateral filter which reduces

Rician noise in the magnitude magnetic resonance images and retains the fine structures, edges and it also

reduces the bias caused by Rician noise. The visual and diagnostic quality of the image is retained. The

quantitative analysis is based on analysis of standard quality metrics parameters like peak signal-to-noise ratio

and mean structural similarity index matrix reveals that these methods yields better results than the other

proposed denoising methods for MRI. Problem associated with the method is that it is computationally complex

hence time consuming. It is not recommended for real time applications. To use in real time application a

parallel implantation of the same using FPGA is proposed.

Paper Title: RSSI Filtering Methods Applied to Localization using Bluetooth Low Energy

Abstract: Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE is a technology targeting mostly small-scale IoT applications

including wearables and broadcasting beacons that require devices to send small amounts of data using minimal

power. This paper focuses on our implementation, which is a system, designed to filter RSSI (Received Signal

Strength Indicator), calculate the co-ordinates of a BLE device that is programmed as a Beacon and display the

coordinates. Since RSSI is susceptible to noise and a downgrade in its reliability is unavoidable, several filtration

methods have been used. The ‗Kalman – Histogram‘ method, which incorporates the usage of a histogram of the

RSSI readings along with the Kalman filter, is our own approach to tackle issues regarding noisy RSSI readings.

The localization of stationary ‗Assets‘, has been evaluated using the Trilateration algorithm: a result in

mathematics which is used to locate a single point using its distance from three or more other points. The

purpose of this research work is to provide a comparative result analysis of the results obtained using the

aforementioned filters, indicating the effect of these filters on our localization system. As our research suggests,

the ‗Kalman – Histogram‘ filter performs better as compared to other filters and can be used in localization

applications for better accuracy.

Paper Title: Predictive Analytics for Students’ Performance Prediction

Abstract: Personalized learning is being popular due to digitizations that enable a large number of

technologies to support it. To predict students‘ learning abilities, it is necessary to estimate their behavior to

know about their weaknesses and strengths. If it is possible for teachers to predict in advance at-risk and dropout

students, they can plan more effectively to handle them. We are describing in this paper various intelligent

tutoring systems with Educational Data Mining, Predictive Learning Analytics, prediction of at-risk students at

an earlier basis, how this prediction task is done. We are describing various prediction models that can be used

to predict students‘ behavior and how portable these predictive models are and the various risk prediction

systems that are being used.

Keywords: Predictive Learning Analytics, Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Student Risk Prediction, Risk

Paper Title: Enhance Security for Authentication

Abstract: An enhanced security for authentication is defined because it is vital that authentication is an

extremely important crucial robust process for each user to access any of the applications. Magnificent growth

and usage of the internet raise agitate about the way to communicate, protect data and sensitive information

safely. In today's world hackers use differing types of attacks in order to acquire valuable information. Many of

the attacks are primarily used to get into an application to steal the credentials followed by internal information

of the users. The first thing of security is defined in three terms. i.e., confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Confidentiality can protect information from unauthorized access and exploiting of sensitive data. Integrity

measures protect information from unauthorized alteration. Whereas availability so as for a data system to be

useful it must be available to authorized users. The most objective of this paper is to supply information about

confidentiality in terms of multifactor authentication. Confidentiality plays a serious role in terms of

authentication. Authentication is the process of proving or showing to be true. This includes confidentiality and

integrity. The improved security for authentication is additionally known for multifactor authentication for the

users. This multifactor authentication is implemented for an android application using a visual-picture login

technique to access the an application.

Keywords: Multifactor authentication (MFA), One-time-password(OTP), Visual-picture login, Confidentiality,

Integrity, Click-points, Coordinates.

Paper Title: Analyzing and Solving Stability Problems during the Commissioning of the Steam Turbine

Abstract: The commissioning of the steam turbine in the CCPP of Vlore (Albania) was carried out after a

shutdown of about one year. During previous operation of the unit, in particular in a couple of shutdowns, were

observed high vibration at bearing MAD 21. Before the restart, the oil deflector of the MAD21 bearing (the

bearing located in the front standard, on the inlet side of the steam turbine and adjacent to the clutch) was

modified increasing the radial clearance on the part of the oil deflector acting as a thermal shield with the aim of

316-320

eliminating / preventing the risk of rubbings. Rubs at the location of the above mention oil deflector were

considered as the very likely cause of high vibration at bearing MAD 21. A lot of tests were carried out during

the recommissioning phase and the data received were analyzed. This paper details the discovery of the

problems, initial attempts to address them and the use of the rotor dynamics tools to find a solution of the

problem by the optimization of the bearings.

The bearings were not optimized as per rotordynamics analysis (RDA) findings, because it was a too expensive

solution. The solution was found making some modification on control system of the ST, without affecting the

mechanical integrity of the machine.

Paper Title: Theory or Practice? the Search for Value for Money in Engineering Education

Abstract: Engineering education was predicated on two sources. One on trade apprenticeship where people that

are trained locally under the tutelage of someone are engaged in further studies to broaden their theoretical and

practical knowledge. The other source of engineering education was within the four walls of the educational

institution which has in its core natural sciences and it emphasizes specialization in a specific aspect of

engineering. This study seeks to understand if value for money in engineering education is in theory or practice.

Value for money is one of the measures of quality of education. Value for money as a concept that has been

defined by various authors and the World Bank defined value for money as the effective, efficient, and economic

use of resources, which requires the evaluation of relevant costs and benefits with the assessment of risks and of

non-priced items and/or cost of life cycle. The objective of this research is to determine if the search for value

for money in engineering education is a theory or practice. Findings from the study revealed that engineering

education is one of foundation for the development of the society. By engineering education, the dynamics of

life has been influenced and also human culture giving more substance to civilization and politics. It was also

found out that value for money is not only a financial marker but it has with it various economic, social, physical

dimension. In engineering education costs are expended and this this necessitates the drive for value for money.

This study recommends that there is a need for better measures of value for money in engineering education and

there is a need to advance knowledge on the theories of engineering to ensure relevance in this changing era.

Keywords: engineering, engineering education, value for money, search for value for money, theory, practice.

Paper Title: Social Capital in the Context of Fitness for Purpose: Do Engineering Students in Africa Possesses the

Right Capital?

Abstract: Social capital is important as it becomes an imperative as key indices for development and growth of

students who opt for engineering education. Engineering educators have important role to play in motivating

engineering students with untapped potentials to possess the right capital by creating productive teaching

platforms. This paper explored the relationship of social capital on engineering education in addition to students

possessing the right capital in their respective course of study. This paper argued that engineering educators

should develop students‘ social capital within the context of social networks and norms by promoting

knowledge-based social capital and its productivity among engineering students. This paper was guided by

Social Capital Theory, which lay emphases on the views that student learning should be centred on education

invested on human capital and social capital. Specifically, we explore engineering students having the right

capital in their study and social capital is a quality criterion that enhances students in possessing the right capital

towards EE in Africa. Thus, to address the social capital gaps in engineering education, it suggested that

engineering educational curriculum as well as staff development and capacity building should be designed in

developing engineering student to possess the right capital in their field of study. A number of educational-

oriented recommendations for social capital in engineering education investment were made.

Paper Title: Engineering Education and soft skills in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Africa

Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is impacting engineering education (EE) in diverse with

several changes from the effects of the previous three industrial revolutions. Remarkable industrialization has

been recorded in the fourth industrial revolution. However, certain skill gaps has been identified missing in

engineering courses and curriculum as employers seek skills development aligned with the fourth industrial

revolution (4IR). This paper was guided by Lifelong Learning Theory which explain that the paradigm shift

from the first three industrial revolutions to 4IR has led to EE transformation of acquiring not only technical

skills but also soft skills. This has led to critical EE curriculum review to extrapolate its impacts of soft skills on

4IR emerging workforce. This paper takes a broad look at the EE and soft skills in the era of 4IR in Africa, while

examining the EE in previous revolutions and, exploring the impacts and implications of soft skills on EE. The

possibilities of adequate investments in EE and soft skills programmes becomes an imperative to address skill

gaps and prepare engineering graduate students for future work. The importance of soft skills, values, and

improvement of soft skills in engineering education in 4IR era are discussed among others. Thus, to address soft

skills gaps in EE, industrial cooperation and educational partnership is significant to centre on EE curriculum

future-oriented skills development to consolidate with 4IR workforce demands. A number of policy

339-345

recommendations for 4IR compatibility with EE polices are made.

Paper Title: Engineering for Survival in Rural Africa in the Era of Covid-19

Abstract: Engineering has been reputed as a discipline that makes things work better. By the ingenuity of

engineering, there is the potential to deploy creativity to solve some of the problems of the world and help in

shaping the future. Shortly after the novel coronavirus, SARS-COV-2 (2019-NCov) was initially identified in

the Chinese city of Wuhan in a group of patients diagnosed with pneumonia on December 31, 2019, it resulted

to fast paced human to human transmission which has generated lots of media stirs and hype concerning issues

of public health globally. Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a ribonucleic acid virus (RNA) which has

the physical appearance of a crown when viewed under the microscope which is as a result of glycoprotein

spikes on its envelope. Findings from the study revealed that engineering has great impact on health conditions

in rural Africa and the era of COVID-19 brought with it various consequences on the health systems of people.

Understanding that there is no known cure for COVID-19 is key and various countries of the world depended on

their knowledge and expertise to deal with the disease. This study therefore recommends that there is a need for

intensified effort on engineering in rural Africa.

Paper Title: Ensembled Machine Learning Model for Aviation Incident Risk Prediction

Abstract: With the fabulous development of air traffic request expected throughout the following two decades,

the security of the air transportation framework is of expanding concern. In this paper, we encourage the

"proactive security" worldview to expand framework wellbeing with an emphasis on anticipating the seriousness

of strange flight occasions as far as their hazard levels. To achieve this objective, a prescient model should be

created to look at a wide assortment of potential cases and measure the hazard related with the conceivable

result. By using the episode reports accessible in the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS), we construct a

half breed model comprising of help vector machine and K-closest neighbor calculation to evaluate the hazard

related with the result of each perilous reason. The proposed system is created in four stages. Initially, we

classify all the occasions, in view of the degree of hazard related with the occasion result, into five gatherings:

high hazard, decently high hazard, medium hazard, respectably medium hazard, and okay. Furthermore, a help

vector machine model is utilized to find the connections between the occasion outline in text configuration and

occasion result. In this application K-closest neighbors (KNN) and bolster vector machines (SVM) are applied to

group the everyday nearby climate types In equal, knn calculation is utilized to highlights and occasion results

subsequently improving the forecast. At long last, the forecast on hazard level order is stretched out to occasion

level results through a probabilistic choice tree.

Keywords: ASRS, KNN, SVM, Decision Tree.

intersection located in quite a busy area of the Aligarh city. The city has an urban population of around 0.9

million people. The roundabout and 3-legged intersection are located in the close proximity of busy commercial

areas and schools. Roundabout that has been taken under consideration is un-signalized and 3-legged

intersection is priority controlled. The Current study has been undertaken analyze the operational execution of

the two intersections and to pave the way for forthcoming investigations related to improvement of the

intersections in the Aligarh District region. Traffic data was accumulated on weekdays during peak periods (5:30

pm to 6:30 pm). Video recording was taken in consideration to accomplish this task. The traffic was categorized

in 3 classes; light vehicles, heavy vehicles and bicycles. To execute the evaluation of functioning performance of

both intersections, SIDRA INTERSECTION software has been used. Results have shown that both the

roundabout and 3-legged intersection are operating nearly at their maximum capacities and Level of Service

(LOS) is not adequate for such amount of traffic influx into both the intersections. Volume to capacity (v/c) ratio

has revealed that both the roundabout and 3-legged intersection are in an unstable state and roundabout condition

is worse than the 3-legged intersection as the heavy vehicle volume influx is quite higher for the roundabout.

Paper Title: Cloud Data Privacy Preserving Model for Health Information Systems Based on Multi Factor

Authentication

Abstract: With cloud computing (CC) becoming popular in recent years, variety of institutions, organizations,

businesses and individual users are creating interest. They are adopting the technology in order to take advantage

of shared web applications, low infrastructure cost, utility and distributed computing, cluster computing as well

as reliable IT architecture. In the area of health, Cloud Health Information Systems (CHIS) play a key role not

only on the healthcare businesses but patients as well. On the patient side, CHIS aid in sharing of medical data

and health information, timely access of critical patient information and coordination of clinical services.

Patients, who continue to demand for instantaneous and quality healthcare services are now able to access the

services from experts even when they are not necessarily in the same physical location. This is being aided by

proliferation of telemedicine through hosted cloud architecture. From the business perspective, CC has helped to

cut down operational expenses by way of cost-effective clinical information system infrastructure through the

implementation of a distributed platform. The platform has therefore saved businesses millions of dollars that

would have gone to infrastructural and human resource investment. Even with these immense opportunities,

cloud computing uptake has been serious inhibited by the privacy and security concerns. Due to the sensitivity of

personal health information, businesses and individuals are apprehensive when it comes to adopting the

technology or releasing the data to the cloud. This study is a results discussion of an enhanced model for

attainment of data privacy on the cloud through use of multi factor authentication.

Paper Title: Sequential Injection of Carbonated Water: A Possible Process for Coupling CO2 Enhanced Oil

Recovery and Storage

Abstract: Low salinity and carbonated water flooding have been investigated as possible techniques of

improved/enhanced oil recovery. Carbonated water injection consists of dissolving carbon dioxide CO2 in water

prior to injection and could be considered as a way to store greenhouse gas safely. Low salinity water flooding is

a process of diluting high salinity injection water to a very low level of salinity. In this project, the effect of

combining the two techniques in a sequential flooding was studied. The primary aim of this study is to optimize

the oil recovery and evaluate CO2 storage during this process, employing low permeability carbonate cores and

different sequential carbonated and non-carbonated brines flooding. Formation brine, seawater, low salinity

carbonated and non-carbonated were used in this work. Core samples grouped as composite cores with similar

over all reservoir permeability. Different sequences of brines were employed to determine the optimum system.

The experiment's result showed that carbonated water performs better than the noncarbonated brines. A new

technique for estimate CO2 retention based on the displacement efficiency of the carbonated water flooding

system is presented. The interfacial tension, contact angle measurements results indicated that wettability is the

dominant mechanism of the studied systems. A sequential composite core flooding consists of carbonated low

salinity followed by low salinity and seawater injection (CLSW- LSW-SW) is the optimum flooding system

among the studied systems. Technically, CLSW flooding displayed an excellent incremental displacement

efficiency ∆DE of 21.4% and CSW exhibited the best CO2 retention per incremental ∆Np.

Keywords: CO2 storage, Sequential Flooding, Carbonated Water, CO2-EOR, Low Salinity, Low Permeability.

In this process if everything is going in right way then no issues but if something going wrong then require legal

issues and for this, we need to protect our data legally through some methodology. So this paper proposed secure

watermarking technique for protecting multimedia content like images using Aadhar number and Discrete

Cosine Transform (DCT) technique. In this proposed methodology individual can share the information‘s with

watermarked information which is hidden in shared images and on demand at the time of legal issue originator

will show the actuality and its ownership. This paper explained details concepts of the embedding and reverse of

embedding ( i.e. extracting) process for authentication of the images and its protection from the misuse or fraud.

The experimental result of the proposed methodology is shown on different family photos shared on globe and

found robust results.

Paper Title: The Effect of Laser Energy and Nitrogen Flow in Solder Joints Properties of Head Gimbal Assembly

Abstract: The objective of this research is to study the effect of laser energy and Nitrogen flow on the solder

joints of the Head Gimbal Assembly (HGA). The soldering of the HGA components isn't the same as general

semiconductors. Since the soldering figure perpendicular to each other so that, it was used the laser solder jet

bonding system. The solder jet bonding system uses a solder ball consisting of Sn-2.0Ag-0.7Cu (SAC207) is

used for connection of the HGA pad made from a Cu trace coated with Au. The growth of intermetallic

compounds (IMCs) and shear strength will be analyzed to investigate the effects of laser energy and Nitrogen

flow on solder joint reliability. In this research, laser energy levels since 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, and 4.5 mJ and keep the

Nitrogen flow value at 90 mbar. As for the Nitrogen flow effect analysis, the Nitrogen flow level was used at 80,

100, 120, and 140 mbar and keep the laser energy value 3.5 mJ. The results of the study show that the increased

levels of laser energy can inhibit the growth of intermetallic compounds as well as the AuSn4 phase that can

present benefit to solder joints with results showing within the shear strength to increase significantly. The

increase in Nitrogen flow levels has the same effect as the increase in laser energy levels, which can decreases

the growth of intermetallic compounds and AuSn4 phase also including increased shear strength. The difference

between laser energy and Nitrogen flow increasing shows the level of laser energy can clearly distinct the effect

on each level. But the increase in Nitrogen flow level is statistically insignificant from each level.

Paper Title: Use of Information and Communication Technology and Product Promotion

Abstract: E-agriculture, i.e., Information and communication technology (ICT) in agriculture enriches the

agriculture and brings rural development. Due to this upbringing of information and communication technology,

agricultural production has increased and also enhancing the market which indicates a complete change of

makeover. Indian farming is revolutionized and all farmers including small landholders are benefited through the

use of ICT in agriculture. ICT helps a lot to increase the demand for new perspectives in agricultural field. The

present study was basically conducted in Jorhat district of Assam during the time of 2018 and data was collected

from 40 farmers through a well structured questionnaire. The main mathematical or statistical tools that have

been used in this study are percentages, Likert Scale and measurement of central tendency. The present study

tries to analyse the socio-economic characteristics of the farmers which consider or use the information and

communication technology in agriculture. This study also focuses on the farmer‘s attitude towards using ICT in

agriculture and also the frequency of using ICT in agriculture. In this study, it is obtained that there are highest

37.50 percent of farmers are small farmers with a land holding of 1-2 ha and highest 40 percent of farmers have

16 to 20 years of farming experience. From the analysis, it is also noticed that majority(4.68) of farmers strongly

agree with the statement that ICT helps in community based planning by providing timely information regarding

agricultural field which is followed by the concept of ICTs helpful for reducing the distance in Digital Divide or

Technological gap(4.63). With some statements the farmers are strongly disagree or disagree such as ICT helps

395-398

to exchange the opinion, knowledge, experience and also the assets(2.94) and by improving rural livelihoods

ICT fill up the social segregation gap(2.15). Again it is observed that to gaining knowledge and information all

40 farmers are using mobile phones as ICT very frequently.

Keywords: ICT, Agriculture, Development, Digital Divide, Farmer.

Paper Title: Theoretical Framework for the Freight Movements Through a Multicommodity Port

Abstract: Port based freight movement planning is a complicated task that could be carried out efficiently to

handle the cargo, optimally utilize the infrastructure and plan the future infrastructure requirements. The nature

of activities at the port is dynamic with uncertainties,since the operationsare time bound, scholastic and

probabilistic.As the huge capital is involved in port infrastructure, the inter-relationship between port activities

need to be understood and a system model enveloping the relationship among the variables is much needed for

optimal utilization of existing facilities and to predict the future infrastructure requirements. The conventional

four step model approach for modeling the person trips would not effectively reflect the commercial scheduling

constraintsand requirements of freight trips. This research workattemptsto model the port operations, to assess

the level of service of roads and gate operations as subsystems to understand the interdependencies between the

variables and the impact on the port operations as a whole.

Keywords: System, Modeling, Multicommodity port, dynamic commodity flow, Turnaround time, Vessel

Paper Title: Additive Manufacturing Technology in Orthodontic Devices Development

Abstract: Traditional wires and brackets has been widely used as orthodontic devices for long time. The metal

wires and brackets help to correct the position of teeth as well as fix the cavity. However, metal brace wires have

quite a lot limitations. Patients wearing metal brace have many food restrictions and feel not comfortable.

Brushing and flossing are required to remove the food debris frequently. Hence, clear plastic aligners have

popped up recently. Since the metal brace fabrication process has associated with prolonged process time as a

result of a long workflow process starting from brace mold presentation to the prosthesis execution. The growing

of additive manufacturing technology make it possible to develop complex structures and shapes of dental brace.

By combining 3D oral scanning, it is possible to shorten the lead time of orthodontic treatment process. This

review, therefore, investigates the use of Digital Light Processing (DLP) Additive Manufacturing Technology

for plastic dental brace development as a remedy to the problems associated with the traditional methods. The

study reveals that it is feasible to fabricate these plastic braces utilising the DLP technology. DLP technology is

affordable and arguably able to produce dental models with high levels of assurance and accuracy.

Paper Title: Factors Influencing Cost Overrun and Delay with Their Risks in Construction Management.

Abstract: Cost overrun and delay are the most important factors which affect the rate of progress in

construction industries. There are numerous Risks are involved in cost and schedule overrun which leads to

unprofitable situation or dropping the project. Previous literature studies are mainly focused only on cost overrun

and delay but they do not deal with their risks which is important to study. This study is to assess the factors

influencing time and cost overruns on construction projects and their risks also. The objectives of the study were

achieved through valid questionnaire. The questionnaires are collected over 40 construction companies. From

this survey, identify and ranking the various elements which are responsible for the inflation of cost and

schedule overrun using analytical software like SPSS. And discuss about the significant values obtained from the

collecting data and recommendation and mitigation ideas from the ranking of overrun factors. The significant

value should be more than 0.05 and from our analysis most of the factors are above that value. The study

clarified that incorrect estimates and low productivity level of labors highly contributes to overrun in

construction management. It will leads to unprofitable situation, so proper scheduling and better management

will rectify these problems.

Paper Title: Railway Access Control System using Face Recognition

Abstract: Nowadays booking tickets and getting inside a railway station is adifficult task. Manual checking

becomes a burden and time consuming. Also as everything is getting digitized in this modern world introduce

face recognition and Quick Response (QR) code system for entry helps in passenger convenience.Face

recognition is a method of identifying or verifying the identity of an individual using their face. Face recognition

systems can be used to identify people in photos, video, or in real-time.So this system focuses on passengers‘

convenience through allowing them to book tickets online and by introducing face recognition system and QR

code system for entry to a railway station.This system helps inidentifying people who try to travel without

buying tickets and also helps toapprehend the blacklisted person which increases security in the railway station.

Online booking is one of the convenient ways tobook the ticket. This system also provides the convenience to

passenger by issuing the digital ticket in the form of QR code thus avoiding any fuss due to the loss of the

physical ticket.

Paper Title: Design and Implementation of PID, GA and Fuzzy logic Controllers for an Electrical Drive with

Various Noise Disturbances

Abstract: It is a great challenge for human being to keep up the constant speed in drive when external Noise

disturbances occur due to fluctuations of power supply. In order to avoid these issues, PID controllers are

intended using predictable method such as Ziegler Nichols method. But finest level is not obtained in transient

and steady state. During the MATLAB Simulation, the error is present transient and steady state behavior in

conventional PID controllers. Hence it is necessary to design a PID controller with Novel intelligent technique

for speed control of drive like fuzzy and Genetic Algorithm. It considers error as fitness function which is to be

minimized using various GA operators such as mutation etc. The Drive will be operated with different external

noises like sinusoidal noise, Saw tooth noise and Ramp noise and comparison between PID, GA and Fuzzy PID

will be presented and their performances are studied.

Keywords: Noise disturbances PID controller, Genetic controller, fuzzy controller.

Paper Title: The Multi Stage U-net Design for Brain Tumor Segmentation using Deep Learning Architecture.

Abstract: Now a day‘s diagnosis and accurate segmentation of brain tumors are critical conditions for

successful treatment. The manual segmentation takes time consuming process, more cost and inaccurate. In this

paper implementation of cascaded U-net segmentation Architecture are divided into substructures of brain tumor

segmentation. The neural network is competent of end to end multi modal brain tumor segmentations.The Brain

tumor segments are divided three categories. The tumor core (TC),the enhancing tumor(ET),the whole tumor

(WT).The distinct data enhancement steps are better achievement. The proposed method can test result

conclude average counter scores of 0.83268, 0.88797 and 0.83698, as well as Hausdorff distances 95%) of

2.65056, 4.61809 and 4.13071, for the enhancing tumor(ET), whole tumor (WT) and tumor core (TC)

respectively. In this method validating with BraTS 2019 dataset and identify the test time enhancement improves

the Brain tumor segmentation accurate images.

Paper Title: A New Islanding Detection Technique using Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition

Abstract: Penetration of distributed generation (DG) is rapidly increasing but their main issue is islanding.

Advanced signal processing methods needs a renewed focus in detecting islanding. The proposed scheme is

based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) in which Gaussian white noise is added to original

signal which solves the mode mixing problem of Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform

is applied to obtained Intrinsic mode functions(IMF). The proposed method reliably and accurately detects

disturbances at different events.

Keywords: Distributed Generation (DG), Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), Ensemble Empirical Mode

Decomposition (EEMD), Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF).

Paper Title: Locating Targets in RFID System in a Sensing Covered Anchor-Free Network

Abstract: In an RFID system, the RFID readers consume huge energy and are considerably expensive in

practical applications. To minimize the total number of readers with guaranteed surveillance such that the

position of each tag can be uniquely determined is a challenge. This paper considers a simple but practically

useful model of anchor-free network of RFID readers where each tag falls within the sensing zone of at least two

readers. To maintain the quality of service in the real applications, a practical condition, the communication

range is at least twice its sensing range, is considered. Under this condition, a characterization of a network is

proved. An efficient algorithm for recognizing such a network is then developed without any initial position

information of the readers. Using these readers as the references, an algorithm is designed for finding the exact

positions of the tags in distributed manner. Unlike the existing techniques, it requires no external references for

tag tracking. The proposed technique finds at most two possible positions (in some cases, unique position), out

of which one is correct, for each tag.

Keywords: Targets tracking, exact positions of RFID read-ers, 2-sensing covered network, locating targets with

no anchors, locating RFID tags with RFID readers.

Paper Title: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Mobile Application with Blood Glucose Simulation

Abstract: There are many mobile applications for diabetes currently in the market which try to help people with

diabetes better manage their condition. Common features are the ability to log in user meal intake, amount of

carbohydrates, insulin, physical activity and etc. and present the data back to them in a more organize manner

such as in charts so that they can learn their blood glucose trend. However, few are trying to simulate their blood

glucose level which might help them understand better the effect of these input to their blood glucose. In this

paper, a mobile application is presented which can predict the trend of glucose from the meal and insulin intake

of diabetes patient. The application used a glucose-insulin dynamics mathematical model to simulate the

changes of blood glucose level over time for the user. Data of a clinical patient was used as input to the

developed application to study its performance. It was found out that the accuracy of the application made the

application to not be 100% reliable as predictor of blood glucose but a good educational tool for diabetes patient

as it can simulate the glucose response from carbohydrate and insulin intake. A more accurate and complex

mathematical model needs to be use for future development as the current linear and relatively simple model

may not be accurate enough for the application.

Paper Title: Leaf Disease Detection using Labview Imaq Vision

Abstract: The intension of our project is to design a system which can identify the good leaves from the

diseased ones. Image processing is a powerful tool capable of many applications. Image processing combined

with Machine Vision can simulate and execute real time projects. In this project we have used LabVIEW along

with IMAQ Vision to acquire real time images and process them. LabVIEW IMAQ Vision is potentially useful

for agricultural products since it combines the merits of both LabVIEW and IMAQ Vision, which have graphical

programming environment and rich image processing functions. The project aims to provide a brief introduction

into the IMAQ vision components like Image Acquisition, Calibration, Defect detection. Major leaf diseases‘

symptoms include spots or discolouration of leaves. The presence or absence of macro and micro nutrients, bug

481-492

infestation and other diseases can be identified through leaves. In this project we have obtained the images

through LabVIEW IMAQ vision pallet. Further on two procedures were followed – one based on colour of the

leaves and other is based on spots and patterns present on the leaves. For the discolouration we first split the

image into its constituent planes- RGB and CMYK, here we used Green, Cyan and Yellow planes. Then on we

decided a threshold based on sample data using Linear Regression based prediction model of Machine Learning

to classify the data into three states – safe, risk and high risk.The second method was detecting spots. First, we

split the images into its constituent planes to convert the RGB image to Greyscale and increase the contrast using

the Colour Plane Extraction tool then use the Look up table tool to further enhance the contrast. Then on locate

the bright objects and then using dilation from the Morphology tool box we increase the size of the spots to

increase detection rate. Using Advanced Morphology tool box we removed the boundary objects to isolate the

spots. Then using the shape detection or circle detection algorithm we can detect the spots. Several samples

were obtained and are successfully classified. Finally, current limitations and likely future development trends

are discussed. Combining LabVIEW along with different programming algorithms can help in raising the

accuracy of the system.

Keywords: Image acquisition, colour plane extraction, Gray morphological operation, Edge detection, Real

time Colour matching.

Paper Title: Statistical Downscaling of Maximum Temperature in Hoshangabad District of India

Abstract: The Global Climate ModelsCanESM2 and CGCM3 were utilised to downscale the maximum

temperature for Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh, India. The area of study comprises to be of 6704 km2.

The predictors employed for CanESM2 were ncepmslpgl, ncepp500gl, ncepp850gl and ncepmslpas, ncepp500gl,

ncepp850gl were the predictors fixed for CGCM3. The total duration of the study was from the years 1979 –

2001. The two GCMs, CGCM3 and CanESM2 were checked for their capability in downscaling the maximum

temperature climatic parameter. The GCM outputs were evaluated on Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and

coefficient of determination (r2) criterias. The period of calibration was taken to be 1979-1995 and 1996-2001

was chosen as the period of validation. GCM CanESM2 obtained NSE of 0.77, 0.75 and r2 of 0.79, 0.79 during

the periods of calibration and validation respectively. It was concluded that CanESM2 model is found

Paper Title: An Investigation on the Impact of Industrial Wastes as A Replacement for Sand In Fiber-Reinforced

M20 Grade Concrete

Abstract: Waste disposal in environment due to rapid urbanization and industrialization is increasing day by

day. Disposal of wastes in the environment is more difficult in the construction industry. Marble powder and

quarry dust are the waste materials obtained from the dressing and processing unit of marble production and

quarries respectively. These waste materials are dumped in the environment as a landfill, and they can be used as

a viable substitute material to the ingredients of concrete to a great extent. This will result in the production of

economically green concrete; this happens because of less usage of river sand, leading to reduction in damage to

to the environment. In this paper, natural sand used in the fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) of grade 20 was

replaced by varying proportions (0%, 25%, and 50%) and combinations of quarry dust (QD) and marble powder

(MP) with 0.5% of basalt fiber added to the mix in order to explore the impact of QD and MP on the mechanical

properties of concrete. The strength properties were assessed at 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th day and the obtained

results are tabulated. It is observed that a particular proportion of QD and MP enhances the strength of FRC.

Keywords: Marble powder, Quarry Dust, Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Basalt Fiber.

Paper Title: Half Logistic Exponential Extension Distribution with Properties and Applications

Abstract: In this article, we have introduced a new distribution based on type I half logistic-G family and

exponential extension as a base distribution known as Half Logistic Exponential Extension (HLEE) distribution.

The statistical properties of this model are also explored, such as the behavior of probability density, hazard rate,

and quantile functions are investigated. The Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method is used to estimate

model parameters. For the potentiality of the proposed model we have compared the goodness of fit with some

others models. We have proven the importance and flexibility of the new distribution in modeling with real data

applications empirically.

Paper Title: A Consideration on "Sweetness" by 3D CG with Fruits as an Example

Abstract: Today, there are a lot of images and videos drawn by 3D computer graphics (hereinafter referred to as

3DCG) around us, and 3DCG is permeating our lives [1]. Recently, research and development of 3DCG-related

technologies such as 3D printers, AR, and VR have been actively carried out, and further progress in 3DCG can

be expected in the future. 3DCG is a technology that creates images and videos by creating objects in a virtual

three-dimensional space. CAD, VR, AR, simulators, 3D printers, etc. have been developed as technologies that

apply this. One of the reasons why it was applied to such technology is the high expressiveness of 3DCG. It is

possible to express various substances such as wood, metal, plastic, and glass, and it is becoming possible to

reproduce things that do not have a specific shape, such as flames, smoke, and fluids. One of the researches on

such 3DCG technology is digital food, and research is being conducted with the aim of putting it into practical

use in the future. Digital food is expected to solve problems related to food freshness management, disposal, new

513-516

product development simulation, etc., but even with the expressive power of 3DCG, meat and fish are still

difficult. I am not good at expressing fresh foods such as vegetables and fruits, and "freshness" and "organic

coloring" such as "fresh flowers". This is one of the issues that cannot be avoided even in the research and

development of digital foods and must be solved. In this technology, while understanding the principle of

3DCG, I learned using some software in order to explore what technology is necessary to create a digital food.

Also, in learning, we set the goal of "expressing fresh fruits", which is one of the challenges of digital food, and

the gloss of the skin peculiar to fruits, the slight unevenness of the surface, especially the freshness of the cut

surface of fruits we focused on reproducing the expression of freshness.

Paper Title: For Colorization using Template Matching Basic Research on

Abstract: Colorization, also known as colorization, is a term introduced by Wilson Markle in 1970, and is a

method of coloring black-and-white images and videos using a computer. Coloring is important. Imagine

coloring a picture as an example. The painting before painting only gives information of existence, such as trees,

flowers, and clouds. Some things can be identified by color. This does not give us enough information from the

picture. But what about coloring? If you paint the sky red, it will be a sunset, and if you paint the ground green,

it will be a meadow. In other words, it is possible to express not only the background but also the background.

This makes it possible to read information that cannot be understood only in black and white. With the

development of digital devices such as smartphones these days, the chances of seeing black-and-white images

are decreasing, but in modern times, black-and-white images are used for X-ray images, MRI images, aerial

photographs, fixed-point observations, etc. There are many opportunities to be lost. The development of color

photography began in the world in the 1800s, and the development of color photography began in Japan in 1940.

In other words, the photographs before that were black and white, and colorization was used to colorize them.

Currently, many researchers are studying colorization methods and processes, and the processing time and the

burden on users are being reduced. However, software that can perform highly complete colorization is

expensive, and some are complicated to operate. Therefore, in this research, as basic research for the

development of a fully automatic colorization program for free software, color images (template images) lacking

information by template matching using ZNCC and black-and-white images with similar brightness patterns are

colored. We made a prototype of a colorization program that restores images.

Paper Title: On Time Document Retrieval using Speech Conversation and Diverse Keyword Clustering During

Presentations

Abstract: In this paper we present the idea of extracting keywords from discussions, with the point of using

these words to recuperate, for each small piece of conversation and generating reports to individuals. Regardless,

even a smaller piece contains a blend of words, which can be effortlessly interrelated to a couple of subjects;

additionally, using a customized talk affirmation (ASR) system presents slips among them. Thus it is hard to

sum up effectively the data needs of the conversation individuals. We initially propose a count to kill significant

words from the yield of an ASR system which makes usage of topic showing strategies and of a sub particular

prize limit which supports varying characteristics in the word set, to organize the potential contrasting

characteristics of subjects and diminish ASR disturbance. By then, we set forward a strategy to surmise different

topically detached requests from this definitive word set, remembering the ultimate objective is to build the

potential outcomes of making at any rate one appropriate proposition while using these inquiries to investigate

the English Wikipedia. The readings depict that our pronouncement continue ahead over past procedures that

watch simply word recurrence or idea commonality, and states the good response for a report recommended

framework to be used as a piece of conversations.

Paper Title: Genderpredictions using Convolution Neural Networks

Abstract: Nowadays Deep learning was advanced so much in our daily life. From 2014, there is massive growth

in this technology as there is a vast amount of data present. We are even getting better results from whatever we

may do. In my work, I have used Convolution Neural Networks as my project depends on image classification.

So what I‘m trying to do is I‘m using two classes in which one class is male and one class is female. I‘m

classifying both the classes and trying to predict who is male and who is female. For this, I have been using

layers like Sequential, Convolution2D, Max-pooling, Flattening, and finally Dense. So, I connect all of these

layers. I have been using two more extra layers which are Convolution2D and max-pooling connected as one

layer for better classifications. In my model, I‘m using Adam optimizer as I‘m having only two classes and in

my experiments, I found Adam as a good optimizer and I use binary cross entropy as my loss function as I‘m

using only two classes if we have more than two classes we can use categorical loss function and the images

which I use for predictions will be converted into 64*64 matrix form. In the end, I will be getting predictions as

1 for male and 0 for female.

Paper Title: Characterization, Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Electrospun poly (vinyl alcohol)

(PVA) Containing Aquilaria Malaccencis Leaf Extract (ALEX) Nanofibers

Abstract: Plant-based electrospun nanofibers are widely fabricated as wound dressing in recent years primarily

due to the presence of bioactive compounds which can facilitate the wound healing effects. In this study,

poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fibre mats containing Aquilaria malaccensis leaf extract (ALEX) [5, 10 and 15

%(w/w)] were fabricated by electrospinning method as potential wound dressing material. The nanofibers were

uniform, beadless and randomly oriented with average diameters ranged between 195.27 – 281.20 nm. The

presence of ALEX in the PVA nanofibers were evaluated by Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform

infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The mechanical properties,

swelling degree and weight loss of nanofiber mats were also determined. ALEX was rapidly released from the

ALEX-loaded PVA nanofibers in the first 12 hours and increased gradually afterwards. The released rate of

ALEX was dependent on the ALEX content in the PVA nanofibers. This result is also contributed by the

swelling degree and porosity of the nanofibers where the results were found to be between 241.66 – 305.86%

and 64.53 – 30.81%, respectively. Meanwhile, the tensile stress and maximum elongation at break for all

electrospun nanofiber mats were in the range of 8.56 – 2.68 MPa and 205.94 – 166.31%, respectively. The

nanofiber mats inhibited growth of Escherichia coli, Vibrio vulnificus, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus

aureus with zone of inhibition of 7.5 - 15.0 mm for gram positive bacteria and 6.1 - 11.7 mm for gram negative

bacteria. ALEX-loaded PVA nanofibers also showed potent anti-inflammatory activity against lipoxygenase

with percentage of inhibition between 80.887 – 86.977%. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that

ALEX-loaded PVA nanofibers have the desired properties of bioactive wound dressing.

Paper Title: Face and Thumb Based Multimodal Bio-Metric Authentication using Harris Feature Extraction and

Stenography

Abstract: In the past recent, identification of a person in an effective manner is a foremost concern for any

security authentication in numerous applications such as, banking, e-commerce, communications etc. One of the

best identification technology for person identification and authentication compared with the existing password

based authentication is the multimodal biometric technology. Multimodal can be defined as, a system which uses

two or more biometrics for identification of person. In the paper we propose a multimodal bio-metric system

with a unique methodology and features extraction method incorporated in system for a secure authentication.

The two modalities used in the system are face and thumb. We use Harris based image feature extraction for

both and choose the best unique features from both and fused using concatenation. The extracted unique features

are embedded in a cover image using modulo operator based steganography technique. This encrypted data is

shared as an image file to the receiver for authentication. At the receiver end the hidden features are decrypted

and separated into face and thumb features. These decrypted features are compared with the pre-trained

550-555

authorized person feature, based on the multi-svm classifier result the person is decided as authorized or

unauthorized. The accuracy of the system is been calculated and was resulted in a good accuracy. The system

can be made much more secure by adding an additional secret key for encryption and decryption.

Keywords: Bio-metric, Harris, modulo operator, multi-modal, multi-svm. Stenography.

Paper Title: Stereo Vision-based Path Finder for Visually Impaired

Abstract: This paper introduces a novel electronic mobility aid for visually impaired users that helps them

navigate in any given environment and avoid knee level to head height obstacles. The mobility aid uses stereo

imaging system to capture the images of the area in front of the user. The processing unit generates a disparity

map and a segmentation algorithm extracts information about the relative distance of obstacles from the user.

This information is relayed to the user in simplified vibration pattern feedback to inform the user of the path to

be taken to avoid collision with the obstacle. Special hardware was designed to make the system portable and

cost effective.The mobility aid was validated on 55 visually impaired users. The subjects walked in a controlled

test environment with a varying number of obstacles placed in their path. The accuracy of the device to help the

Paper Title: Efficiency of Probabilistic Network Model for Assessment in E-Learning System

Abstract: The knowledge acquirement by the learner is a major assignment of an E-Learning framework.

Evaluation is required in order to adapt knowledge resources and task to learner ability. Assessment provides

learner‘s an approach to evaluate the skills gained through the e-learning domain they are accessing. A

dissimilar method can be used to assess the information acquirement, such as probabilistic Bayesian Network

model. A Bayesian Network is a graphical representation of the probabilistic relationships of a complex system.

This network can be used for reasoning with uncertainty. Bayesian Network is the most challenging task in e-

learning system as learner evaluation model are an element of uncertainty. In this paper the current proposed

scheme is constructed on Bayesian Network to deduce the stage of knowledge possessed by the learner. It also

proposes type of assessment to identify the knowledge whatever the learner identifies. Throughout the

assessment, it can be performed by two approaches namely Sequential and Random. In Sequential approach,

questions can be displayed on the learner machine in sequential order. In Random approach, questions can be

displayed on the learner machine in random order. However, both have their inherent limitations. Questions that

are considered to be answered easily by the learner may also be presented to the learner who is not desirable.

This system determined on the illustration of Bayesian Network model and algorithm for inference about

learner‘s knowledge. The Bayesian Network model was efficiently implemented for three levels of learner called

Higher Learners (HL), Regular Learners (RL) and Irregular Learners (IL) for learner‘s assessment and was

successfully implemented with 81.1% of probabilities for learner‘s assessment.

Paper Title: Cyanide in salt bath Applied to ASTM A-517 Steel: Effects on Hardness, Wear and Microstructure

Abstract: The effects of the cyanide treatment (CN) in a salt bath at elevated temperatures on the hardness;

adhesive and abrasive wear; of ASTM A-517 steel, were investigated. For abrasive wear, 1‖ x 3‖ x 5/16"

samples were prepared according to ASTM G-65 standard. For adhesive wear, specimens wit ring-shaped: φ ext.

= 40 mm, φ int = 20 mm and 10 mm thick, according to ASTM G -77. The CN treatment was carried out, at high

temperatures: 800 – 850 – 900 – 950 °C, immersing the samples in a salt bath: 6% NaCN + 80% BaCl2 + 14%

NaCl before entering the muffle furnace, with soaking time of 3 hr. Hardness tests were performed on a

Rockwell Durometer taking measurements on the HRC scale. The adhesive wear tests were carried out on a

parallel lathe coupling the Amsler device, following the ASTM G-77 standard. The abrasive wear tests were

performed according to the ASTM G65 standard. Microscopy was done at the optical level. A maximum

hardness of 63.5 HRC was found in all samples, representing an increase of 11.3% with respect to the state of

supply (T&R). In abrasive wear, its value increased to 66%, compared to supply samples. The most suitable

microstructure is presented by cyanide samples at 850ºC, with a layer of compounds (hard layer) formed by:

massive cementite; tempered martensite and carbide. It is concluded that when applying cyanide to ASTM A-

517 steel, the hardness and wear properties are increased to optimal values, if the cyanide treatment (CN) is

carried out at 850 °C.

Paper Title: Bioinformatics Database Query Performance and Optimization

Abstract: Borneo bioinformatics portal test is a critical element of SQA and represents a comprehensive review

of specifications, design and coding. The test represents an abnormality in the development of the portal. A

series of tests systematically reveals several different types of errors. This study aims to evaluate the

performance and optimization of Borneo's Bioinformatics portal with a series test activities using the Web

Performance Optimization methodology. Testing query performance with measuring the response time and page

loading timings from the object relationship mapping (ORM) model Laravel PHP framework in offline and

online. For optimization, we set a pre-test and post-test scenario to evaluate the efficiency performance test

results. The results study found that the query relation model, parsing script (javaScript and CSS), service scale

and dimension images in the interaction process to the database are the dominant resources affecting the

performance of the Bioinformatics portal. Performance optimization through determining the appropriate query

relation model, minify and defer parsing script or combine images using CSS sprites to reduce scala image.

Keywords: Bioinformatics, query, database relationship, ORM.

Paper Title: Challenges in Data Quality and Complexity of Managing Data Quality Assessment in Big Data

Abstract: High Quality Data are the precondition for examining and making use of enormous facts and for

making sure the estimation of the facts. As of now, far reaching exam and research of price gauges and

satisfactory appraisal strategies for massive records are inadequate. To begin with, this paper abridges audits of

Data excellent studies. Second, this paper examines the records attributes of the enormous records condition,

presents high-quality difficulties appeared by large data, and defines a progressive facts exceptional shape from

the point of view of records clients. This system accommodates of big records best measurements, best

attributes, and best files. At long last, primarily based on this system, this paper builds a dynamic appraisal

technique for records exceptional. This technique has excellent expansibility and versatility and can address the

troubles of enormous facts fine appraisal. A few explores have verified that preserving up the character of

statistics is regularly recognized as hazardous, however at the equal time is considered as simple to effective

basic leadership in building aid the executives. Enormous data sources are exceptionally wide and statistics

structures are thoughts boggling. The facts got may additionally have satisfactory troubles, for example, facts

mistakes, lacking data, irregularities, commotion, and so forth. The motivation behind facts cleansing (facts

scouring) is to pick out and expel mistakes and irregularities from facts so as to decorate their quality.

Information cleansing may be separated into 4 examples dependent on usage techniques and degrees manual

execution, composing of splendid software programs, records cleaning inconsequential to specific software

fields, and taking care of the difficulty of a kind of explicit software area. In these 4 methodologies, the 1/3 has

terrific down to earth esteem and may be connected effectively.

Paper Title: Public Debt, Current Account Deficit and Economic Growth: A Study on Indian Context

Abstract: External debt and internal debt form main components of the public debt structure in India. India‘s

debt profile shows increasing external debt and simultaneously increasing the deficit in current account which

have impact on economic growth of India. Our study assesses the impact of India‘s Gross External Debt (GED),

Internal Debt (IND) and Current Account Deficit (CAD) on economic growth (GDP) by using time series data

from 1998-99 to 2018-19. We intend to find long-run as well as short run relationship between the variables with

the help of Eviews software. Stationarity of data is tested by considering Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test

statistics and used Johansen Co-integration test and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The result shows

co-integration among the variables with one equation. The result of VECM shows existence of long-run

relationship among the variables. But the study fails to find the short-run causality among the variables. The

results show external debt (GED), internal debt (IND), and Current Account Deficit (CAD) have negative and

statistically insignificant relationship with GDP. It shows increase in public debt and deficit in current account

results in decrease in GDP growth.

Keywords: External Debt, Internal Debt, GDP, Current Account, CAD, VECM, India

Paper Title: Image Steganography

Abstract: Steganography is the practice of concealing a file, message, image, or video within another file,

message, image, or video. The advantage of steganography is that the intended secret message does not attract

attention to itself as an object of scrutiny. Steganography is concerned both with concealing the fact that a secret

message is being sent and its contents. The change is so subtle that someone who is not specially looking for it is

unlikely to notice the change. We intend to perform image steganography by designing a neural network that

prepares the secret jpg image and hides the prepared jpg image in a cover jpg image.

Paper Title: Design and Simulation of millimeter wave Mylar based flexible Antenna for 5G wireless

Applications

Abstract: The millimeter wave (mm-wave) is expected to play a crucial role in providing broad frequency

bandwidth for large data transmission. The restrictions of wave propagation are anticipated to get eliminated in

mm-wave propagation through the assistance of antenna technologies. The higher frequency spectrum

prevalence of the 5G applications are likely to be dependent on a small advanced antenna technology. This paper

presents an antenna design which uses Mylar as substrate for the 5G wireless applications. The structure of the

antenna adopted here is of a T-shaped patch designed with ideal symmetrical slot structures. To increase the

bandwidth the idea of defective ground structure (DGS) is used. The antenna model discussed here shows a high

impedance bandwidth and a fair radiation pattern in the required direction with a maximum gain of 8.35dB at 28

GHz frequency. The proposed antenna is compared with the basic microstrip patch antenna which is designed at

low frequency to prove that the bandwidth is enhanced and so other parameters in the proposed antenna such

that it is suitable for mm-wave 5G wireless applications.

Keywords: Directivity, HFSS, microstrip patch antenna, millimeter waves, radiation pattern, return loss.

Paper Title: Rural Health Unit Decision Support System with Mapping

Abstract: In this highly challenging and demanding world, presence of data and technology are overwhelming.

But at present, some institutions still engage in manual-type of operations like the Rural Health Unit of the

Municipality of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya. Problems, issues and challenges encountered by the unitin the delivery

of its medical servicesand the extent of compliance in ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Standards were

identified. And with the uncontrollable availability of data, these can be handled and treated using data mining

techniques to predict disease occurrences. In this study, the clustering and classification data mining techniques

were utilized in order to predict disease occurrences of every barangay of the municipality at a given time. An

efficient record management system along with a decision support system was developed to meet the challenges

of the unit. It mainly features the disease-occurrence mapping to assist physicians and other health professionals

in the unit in their decision-making tasks particularly in diagnosis, treatment and recommendations.In terms of

ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Standards, the system gained a ―very great extent‖ qualitative rating.

Paper Title: Robust Formal Watermarking Model Based on the Hyperbolic Geometry for Image Security

Abstract: The digital revolution has led to an increase in the production and exchange of valuable digitized

documents across institutions, companies and the general public alike. Ensuring the authenticity, integrity and

ownership of these official or high-value documents is essential if they are to be considered useful. Digital

watermarking is a possible solution to this challenge as it has already been used for copyright protection, source

tracking, and video authentication to name just a few applications of its use. It also enables integrity protection,

which is of value for numerous documents types (e.g., official documents, medical images). In this paper, we

propose a new watermarking solution that is applicable to image watermarking and is based on hyperbolic

geometry. Our new solution builds upon existing work in geometrical watermarking.

Paper Title: Seismic Assessment of R.C.C Frame Building using Pushover Analysis

Abstract: India is a making country with an arrangement of structure practices and social and money related

structure, which needs to build up its own special strategies for seismic danger appraisal. The latest decade has

shown our lack in peril decline programs, during the couple of hurting seismic quakes. In view of this quake

alone in India there was massive loss of life and property. After this troublesome adversity thought is by and by

being given to the appraisal of the adequacy of solidarity in structures to contradict strong ground developments.

After Bhuj seismic quake IS-1893 was revised and appropriated in the year 2002, going before this scene it was

refreshed in 1984. The code was first conveyed in 1962 as 'Recommendations for Earthquake Resistant Design

of Structure'. The central reason behind the loss of life and property was inadequacy of learning of direct of

structures during ground developments. The frailty of the structures against seismic development must be

fundamentally inspected. The most preferred strategy for seismic evaluation is Inelastic static assessment or

Pushover examination in view of its straightforwardness. Inelastic static examination frameworks join Capacity

Spectrum Method, Displacement Coefficient Method and the Secant Method. In this examination we are looking

over seismic execution of G+17 standard RCC structure. The structure has been surveyed using Pushover

Analysis.

Paper Title: Early Detection of Cardiovascular Disease using Machine learning Techniques an Experimental

Study

Abstract: Human body prioritizes the heart as the second most important organ after the brain. Any disruption

in the heart ultimately leads to disruption of the entire body. Being the members of modern era, enormous

changes are happening to us on a daily basis that impact our lives in one way or the other. A major disease

among top five fatal diseases includes the heart disease which has been consuming lives worldwide. Therefore,

the prediction of this disease is of prime importance as it will enable one to take a proper and needful approach

at a proper time. Data mining and machine learning are taking out and refining of useful information from a

massive amount of data. It is a basic and primary process in defining and discovering useful information and

hidden patterns from databases. The flexibility and adaptability of optimization algorithms find its use in dealing

with complex non -linear problems. Machine Learning techniques find its use in medical sciences in solving real

health-related issues by early prediction and treatment of various diseases. In this paper, six machine learning

algorithms are used and then compared accordingly based on the evaluation of performance. Among all

classifiers, decision tree outperforms over the other algorithms with a testing accuracy of 97.29%.

Paper Title: Design of NLP technique fore-customer review

Abstract: With the passage of time and the growth of ecommercea new web world needs to be built their users

can share their ideas and opinions differently domains.There are thousands of websites that sell these various

products. The quick growth in the number of reviews and their availability and the arrival of rich reviews for

rich products for sale online, the right choice for many products has been difficult for users. Consumers will

soon be able to verify the authenticity and quality of the products. What better way is there to ask people who

have already bought the product? That‘s where customer reviews come from. What‘s worse is the popular

products with thousands of updates — we don‘t have the time or the patience to read all of them thousands.

Therefore, our app simplifies this task by analysing and summarizing all the reviews that will help the user

determine what other consumers have experienced in purchasing this product. This function focuses on mining

updates from websites like Amazon, allowing the user to write freely to view. Automatically removes updates

from websites. It also uses algorithms such as the Naïve Bayes classifier, Logistic Regression and SentiWordNet

algorithm to classify reviews as good and bad reviews. Finally, we used quality metric parameters to measure

the performance of each algo.

Paper Title: Utilization of Pet Wastes Aggregate in Building Construction - A Review

Abstract: The rapid increase of plastics waste produced worldwide today poses a danger to human health

because of the pollution caused by the unsafe disposal and non-biodegradability of this waste combined with

toxic gas emissions during incineration. Globally, PET (polyethylene terephalate) is commonly used for bottling

water and other plastic containers. Recycling the waste would be an additional benefit. This study focuses some

researchers on the forms, methods of recycling and various literature applications of PET wastes. Recycled PET

can of course be used when combined with the sand aggregate to manufacture of various construction materials,

such as tiles, bricks, paving stones etc. This research focuses on its application as it attracts substantial building

materials such as the manufacture of various PET waste tiles and their unique mechanical , physical and

chemical properties; There are some important studies discussed in relation to PET waste, recycling methods ,

and results from the study. Even various applications are described here. Its usefulness is further defined as

roofing Composite concrete, floor tiling and other applications.

Paper Title: Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimization for Optimal Allocation of Distributed Generators in

Distribution Networks

Abstract: The power loss in the radial distribution network is appreciable as compared to transmission network.

To reduce the power loss in distribution network which is radial in nature, the solution methodology adopted in

this paper is optimal placement of distributed generators (DG). The optimization incorporated is Multi-objective

Grey Wolf Optimization (MOGWO). The optimization is accomplished for three different cases. In each case

two objective functions are simultaneously optimized to obtain non-dominated solutions using Multi-objective

Grey Wolf Optimization. Case (1): To minimize the real power loss and maximize the savings obtained due to

DG installation. Case (2): To minimize real power loss and maximum voltage deviation in the network. Case

(3): To minimize real power loss and rating of DG installed. MOGWO method maintains an archive which

contains pareto-optimal solutions. The archive mimics the behaviour of grey wolves. MOGWO method is

verified on radial distribution networks. The effectiveness of the optimization method is proven by comparing

the results with other optimization methods available in the literature.

Keywords: Distributed Generators, Multi-objective Grey Wolf Optimization, Real Power Loss, Savings,

Voltage deviation.

Paper Title: Heptagonal Shaped UWB Antenna with DGS for Wireless LTE with Enhanced Bandwidth

Abstract: The paper discusses about the implementation of Heptagonal shaped compact ultra-wideband planar

Microstrip patch antenna with and without defected ground plane structure (DGS) with analysis of various

parameters like return loss, VSWR bandwidth etc. A substrate made up of dielectric constant FR4 epoxy is

utilized and the 2D and 3D radiation pattern are also discussed. DGS has helped to fine tune and increase the

bandwidth & its effects have been studied. A volume of 28x32x1.7 (1523.2 mm^3) is occupied by the size of

antenna with dielectric constant of εr = 4.4, tanδ= 0.02. In order to provide fine tuning in the return loss graph, a

50Ω line with width of W=3mm direct line feeding method has been used for the micro-strip line and slots have

been introduced in the ground plane structure, for achieving the good bandwidth coupling between the slots

plays an important role. The antenna parameters including VSWR, Gain and return losses v/s frequency effects

for the antenna with variation of slots and dimensions has been studied in this paper along with the analysis of

important parameters such as return loss (dB), bandwidth, VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of patch

antenna which has been performed using Ansoft HFSS v15 tool. The proposed design of the heptagonal shaped

671-677

antenna operates as an ultra-wide band antenna ranging from 3.20 GHz to 10 GHz and beyond covering most of

applications from LTE, Wimax (3.5/5.55GHz), Radio altimeter, RFID and ISM WLAN 5.2/5.8GHz etc.

Keywords: Microstrip Patch, heptagonal, defected ground structure, VSWR, 2D and 3D patterns, HFSS,

Paper Title: Prediction and Diagnosis of COVID-19 using Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract: The world is reworking in a digital era. However, the field of medicine was quite repulsive to

technology. Recently, the advent of newer technologies like machine learning has catalyzed its adoption into

healthcare. The blending of technology and medicine is facilitating a wealth of innovation that continues to

improve lives. With the realm of possibility, machine learning is discovering various trends in a dataset and it is

globally practiced in various medical conditions to predict the results, diagnose, analyze, treat, and recover.

Machine Learning is aiding a lot to fight the battle against Covid-19. For instance, a face scanner that uses ML is

used to detect whether a person has a fever or not. Similarly, the data from wearable technology like Apple

Watch and Fitbit can be used to detect the changes in resting heart rate patterns which help in detecting

coronavirus. According to a study by the Hindustan Times, the number of cases is rapidly increasing. Careful

risk assessments should identify hotspots and clusters, and continued efforts should be made to further

strengthen capacities to respond, especially at sub-national levels. The core public health measures for the

Covid-19 response remain, rapidly detect, test, isolate, treat, and trace all contacts. The work presented in this

paper represents the system that predicts the number of coronavirus cases in the upcoming days as well as the

possibility of the infection in a particular person based on the symptoms. The work focuses on Linear Regression

and SVM models for predicting the curve of active cases. SVM is least affected by noisy data, and it is not prone

to overfitting. To diagnose a person our application has a certain question that needs to be answered. Based on

this, the KNN model provides the maximum likelihood result of a person being infected or not. Tracking and

monitoring in the course of such pandemic help us to be prepared.

Keywords: Healthcare, K-Nearest Neighbor, Linear Regression, Machine Learning Support Vector Machine.

Paper Title: Research Method of Clustering of COVID-19 with Text-mining

Abstract: A suspected patient with symptoms similar to coronavirus infection-19 was identified for the first

time on January 8, 2020 in Korea. After that, the world was dominated by COVID-19. People all around the

world must face a new society that will be changed by COVID-19. To prepare for such future, this study

collected related words around the keyword COVID-19 and has predicted what risk factors and opportunity

factors occur. As a result of SNA analysis by collecting news data from January to May, 2020, when COVID-19

was rapidly spreading, the key words "Prevention of epidemics", "Inspection", "Quarantine", "Infection",

"Government", Keywords such as "Patient", "Addition", "Diffusion", "Judgment" and "Prohibition" have had

important influences. Furthermore, COVID-19 has been affecting the daily lives of individual citizens, and their

interest in the government response process increased. Therefore, the response to the new infectious disease

must be quarantine based on science and technology and data, and it is imperative to establish a legal basis for

using social facilities as treatment facilities.

Paper Title: Risk Analysis of BYOD in Afghanistan’s Organization

Abstract: Improving ICT management strategies is an ongoing need for almost all organizations. At the same

time, the challenges that BYOD brings to the organization need to be carefully considered. BYOD terminology

can refer to related concepts, technologies, and strategies that enable employees to use organizational resources.

The use of different databases, applications, and personal devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and any

other mobile device such as memory chips and external hard drives can provide examples of these resources.

The implementation of BYOD has brought a clear advantage to the organization. However, the use of BYOD in

organizations can pose some risks and threats. The main purpose of this study was to analyze BYOD risks in

Afghan organizations through cross-sectional quantitative research methods. An online survey of 24 questions

was conducted on various aspects of BYOD risk from various organizations in Afghanistan. Through the use of

raw data, survey results related to BYOD implementation in Afghanistan have been collected. Thus, the

researchers found out that IT staffs have a low level of awareness of the risks and challenges of BYOD security

and the latest technologies used by Afghan organizations. Finally, recommendations have been made.

Keywords: Risk Analysis, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Cyber Security, Information Security.

Paper Title: Implementation of Correlation and Regression Models for Health Insurance Fraud in Covid-19

Environment using Actuarial and Data Science Techniques

Abstract: Fraud acts as a major deterrent to a company‘s growth if uncontrolled. It challenges the fundamental

value of ―Trust‖ in the Insurance business. COVID-19 brought additional challenges of increased potential fraud

to health insurance business. This work describes implementation of existing and enhanced fraud detection

methods in the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 environments. For this purpose, we have developed an innovative

enhanced fraud detection framework using actuarial and data science techniques. Triggers specific to COVID-19

are identified in addition to the existing triggers. We have also explored the relationship between insurance fraud

and COVID-19. To determine this we calculated Pearson correlation coefficient and fitted logarithmic regression

model between fraud in health insurance and COVID-19 cases. This work uses two datasets: health insurance

dataset and Kaggle dataset on COVID-19 cases for the same select geographical location in India. Our

experimental results shows Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.86, which implies that the month on month rate

of fraudulent cases is highly correlated with month on month rate of COVID-19 cases. The logarithmic

regression performed on the data gave the r-squared value of 0.91 which indicates that the model is a good fit.

This work aims to provide much needed tools and techniques for health insurance business to counter the fraud.

Keywords: Fraud detection framework, Pearson correlation, Logarithmic regression, COVID-19, actuarial

techniques, data science techniques, fraud detection, fraud prevention, fraud triggers.

Paper Title: Comparative Performance Evaluation of Mobile Ad-hoc Network Routing Protocols using NS2

Simulator

Abstract: A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an independent assortment of mobile users that communicate

over moderately bandwidth constrained wireless links. MANET‘s topology is dynamic that can change rapidly

because the nodes move freely and can organize themselves randomly; has the advantage of being quickly

deployable. Although numerous routing protocols have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks, there is no

universal scheme that works well in scenarios with different network sizes, traffic loads and node mobility

patterns, so mobile ad hoc routing protocol election presents a great challenge. In this paper, an attempt has

been made to compare the performance of three routing protocols in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks – Ad-Hoc On-

demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector

(DSDV). We have evaluated the performance of these routing protocols with varying the number of mobile

nodes and packet sizes on the basis of four important metrics such as packet delivery ratio, average end to

end delay, normalized routing overhead and throughput. Network Simulator version 2.35 (NS-2.35) is used

as the simulation tool for evaluating these performance metrics. The outcome of this research shows that AODV

protocol outperforms DSDV and DSR protocols.

Paper Title: Brain Tumor Detection using Deep Learning

Abstract: Nowadays the leading techniques for diagnosing and revealing the different diseases are image

processing. And there is an increase in the cases of cancer these days. The unrestricted development of cells

cause‘s lumps which leads to brain tumor also called glioblastoma. There are mainly two types of tumor benign

which has covering over the tumor and malignant is the one which spreads throughout the places. Earlier the

development of unrestricted cells used to be diagnosed by doctors physically through monitoring the image by

which the results were not used to be precise sometimes. But time along boarding of medical fields lead to

different medical facilities by which the results could be precise. The broadly approach method of imaging that

scrutinizes the internal structure of the human race is Magnetic resonance Imaging. This approach of imaging

techniques is also used for detecting brain tumors. The detection of glioblastoma processes has machine vision

methods such as Image pre-processing, Segmentation in Image, Feature extraction and classification. Several

image segmentation and image classification techniques are available for detecting tumor of the brain.

Convolution neural networks (CNN) based classifiers are proposed to prevail the limitations. This CNN is such a

classifier which is used to differentiate between the competent data and the trail data, from which the results

could be obtained.

Paper Title: Assessing the sustainability of General Insurance Business through Real Time Monitoring of KPIs

using Recurrent Neural Network

Abstract: A company‘s sustainability is driven significantly by its operational efficiency. Operational

efficiency plays a significant role in the growth and the profitability of a company. Thus, operational efficiency

of a company forms the basis for the metrics known as the Key Performance Indicators(KPIs). These KPIs

bridge the concept of performance an operation and a means to measure the same quantitatively. In this work,

we used Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with the Long Short Term Memory(LSTM) cells for projecting the

public disclosure data of select General Insurance(GI) companies operating in India to the future. We use this

data to calculate the KPIs pertaining to the operations of general insurance companies and calculate how the

operations of the GI company affect its performance at various levels. Since this analysis is done for the

projected data, we get a framework to assess the sustainability of the GI companies by monitoring these KPIs in

real-time. The complex RNN and LSTM algorithms were implemented with the help of the Google Colaboratory

platform by using the GPUs of the Google Hardware with the help of the Cloud Computing framework.
