    - Caste system in India has killed the spirit of Equality, Liberty, Freedom and Fraternity
    which have been the noble principles of classical western Christian philosophers Hegel, Rousseau, J.S.Mill,
    Immanuel Kant and John Rawls. Historically caste system and its uncivilized practices that are sponsored
    and conceived by Hindu Religion have at stake for the last 6000 years. Article is an eye opener to know the
    oppression of Hindu sponsored caste system in India.

    Steganography is the art of passing information in a manner that the very existence of
    the message is unknown. Steganography is a method of hiding secret messages in a cover object while
    communication takes place between sender and receiver. Security of confidential information has always
    been a major issue from the past times to the present time. It has always been the interested topic for
    researchers to develop secure techniques to send data without revealing it to anyone other than the
    receiver. Therefore from time to time researchers have developed many techniques to fulfill secure
    transfer of data and Steganography is one of them. In this paper we have proposed a new technique of
    image Steganography i.e. Steganography is applied on image edges with RSA algorithm for providing
    more security to data as well as our data hiding method. The proposed technique uses an ELSB (Edge
    based least significant bit) technique to generate a pattern for hiding data bits into ELSB of RGB pixel
    values of the cover image. This technique makes sure that the message has been encrypted before hiding
    it into a cover image. If in any case the cipher text got revealed from the cover image, the intermediate
    person other than receiver can't access the message as it is in encrypted form. Objective is not only to
    prevent the message being read but also to hide its existence. In this paper, canny arithmetic operator has
    been proved to have good detective effect in the common usage of edge detection. In the algorithm, selfadaptive
    filter is used to replace the Gaussian filter, morphological thinning is adopted to thin the edge
    and morphological operator is used to achieved the refining treatment of edge points detection and the
    single pixel level edge.

    Micro Satellites are helpful in identifying several diseases in early stages and disorders in
    the human based on his/her genome. Micro Satellites extraction became more crucial in the modern world.
    Several Micro Satellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of giga
    bytes and tera bytes in size. This “„X‟ Chromosomal Miner” tool can extract both Perfect as well as
    Imperfect Microsatellites from large data sets of human genome „X‟.

    Digital images are much more pervasive than they were a number of years ago, causing in
    the critical need for the exploration of images, such as object recognition, image searching, indexing, and
    categorization. For some applications, such as image recognition or compression, we cannot process the
    whole image directly for the reason that it is inefficient and unpractical. As a very vital step for these high
    level image exploration tasks, image segmentation is a pre-processing process to group image pixels into
    some sizable homogeneous regions so that the complexity of further analysis can be substantially reduced.
    Therefore, several image segmentation algorithms were proposed to segment an image before recognition
    or compression. This paper outlines an awareness to hinge on the tedious arrangements in a homogeneous
    area based on the histogram of positions of image gradients and link of two regions can be done with the
    color feature. Over-segmentation problem can be meritoriously eluded by creating the comparison matrix.

    Network security is one of the major concerns of the modern era. With the rapid
    development and massive usage of internet over the past decade, the vulnerabilities of network security
    have become an important issue. We introduce a new machine-learning-based data classification algorithm
    that is applied to network intrusion detection. The basic task is to classify network activities (in the
    network log as connection records) as normal or abnormal while minimizing misclassification. Although
    different classification models have been developed for network intrusion detection, each of them has its
    strengths and weaknesses, including the most commonly applied Support Vector Machine (SVM) method
    and the Clustering based on Self-Organized Ant Colony Network (CSOACN). Our new approach
    combines the SVM method with CSOACNs to take the advantages of both while avoiding their
    weaknesses. Our algorithm is implemented and evaluated using a standard benchmark KDD99 data set.
    Experiments show that CSVAC (Combining Support Vectors with Ant Colony) outperforms SVM alone or
    CSOACN alone in terms of both classification rate and run-time efficiency.

    The main objective of the paper is to investigate the magneto hydrodynamic flow version of
    the Rayleigh problem including Hall effect and Rotation in the presence of Heat transfer. Analytical
    solution has been found depending on the physical parameters including the Hall parameter
    N ,
    Hartmann
    number
    M , Grashof number
    Gr , Prandtl number
    Pr
    and the Rotation parameter
    2 K
    . The influence of
    these parameters on velocity profiles and temperature profiles are demonstrated graphically and the results
    are discussed. Further, it is observed that increase in the Hall parameter and Rotation parameter leads to
    decrease in the velocity profiles. It is also found that the increase of Grashof number results in the decrease
    of primary flow and increase of secondary flows.

    This paper presents a method to convert the Meteorological tabulated data into an
    analytical expression in which it can be used in engineering application.
    The paper uses a Fourier series technique to convert the solar radiation variation during the day for clear
    days and for a beclouded intermittent days to predict an analytical expression for solar radiation at any time
    of that day by finding the weights for both (an & bn) parameters for Fourier series upto (n =10).
    It is found an encouraged result that will help the researchers to use Fourier series to convert any tabulated
    data into an analytical expression which gives a useful indication for using such method in solar
    applications

    Metal-matrix composites have been attracting growing interest in these days. MMC is
    engineered combination of matrix and reinforcement to get tailored properties. MMCs are routinely
    included as candidate materials for primary and secondary structural applications. One of the major
    challenges when processing MMCs is achieving a homogeneous distribution of reinforcement in the matrix
    as it has a strong impact on the properties of the material. In this paper the effect of stirrer parameter of
    stir casting is investigated. Also the significance of each stirrer blade is found by testing the specimen. The
    microstructure of the composite was examined by optical microscope. The ultimate tensile strength and
    elongation of the specimen is noted. The brinell hardness test was performed on different specimens and
    evaluation is done. The Stir casting method was chosen as the casting process due to its simplicity,
    flexibility and applicability. For this aluminium alloy (LM6) was selected while silicon carbide as
    reinforcement.

    The main objective of this study is to investigate the use of waste fiber materials in
    geotechnical applications and to evaluate the effects of waste polypropylene fibers on shear strength of
    unsaturated soil by carrying out direct shear tests and unconfined compression tests on two different soil
    samples. The results obtained are compared for the two samples and inferences are drawn towards the
    usability and effectiveness of fiber reinforcement as a replacement for deep foundation or raft foundation,
    as a cost effective approach.

    The use of Digital Signal Processing has always been a field of research in the Electronics
    & Communication Engineering, and specially in the field of Speech & Audio Processing we can always see
    much of the research work and showing promising result with the use of Fast Fourier Algorithm in the
    relevant work. FFT is used in the process to analyze the response of speech in different filters using
    windows. Windowing is used to minimize the effect leakage and reduce the noise level. Many different
    windows have been proposed over time each with its own advantages & disadvantages relative to the
    others. Some are more effective for specific type of signals, types such as random or sinusoidal. In the
    following work we have represented the use of different types of windows to filter speech signal consisting
    of speech data and noise. Windows restrict the leakage and obtain the amplitude and frequency spectrum
    plot using Rectangular, Hamming & Hanning windows for Band pass filters.The result obtained shows
    significant reduction in noise level in speech signal using Band pass filter. Furthermore, it can be seen that
    the band pass filter in itself gives best result with Hamming window.

    Corrosion is an everyday challenge in all sectors of the economy particularly the
    manufacturing industry and this has led to massive economic loss. The aim of this research is to produce
    an eco-friendly inhibitor from cashew waste fruit. Cashew waste fruits collected were cleaned, washed,
    dried and pulverized. Mild carbon steel with thickness 0.1 cm was used and coupons of dimensions 4 x 5 x
    0.1 cm. The cashew waste extract produced was used as a corrosion inhibitor on mild carbon steel in 0.1M
    hydrochloric acid. It was observed that as the concentration of inhibitor increases, the inhibitor efficiency
    also increases. The optimum inhibition efficiency observed in hydrochloric acid was 80.5%. After 336
    hours of test, it was concluded that cashew waste is an efficient corrosion inhibitor as this will reduced the
    importation cost, increase the gross domestic product (GDP) of the nation and make the environment free
    of toxic chemical inhibitor.

    The dynamics of two ecologically independent species which are being harvested with
    variable effort have been discussed. The dynamics of effort is considered separately. The local and global
    dynamics of the system is studied. The existence of Hopf bifurcation with respect to the total cost of fishing
    is investigated. The co-existence of species in the form of stable equilibrium point and limit cycle is
    possible. The quasi-periodic behavior is also possible for some choices of parameters. An expression for
    Optimum population level has been obtained.

    In this research paper, liquefaction susceptibility evaluation of the Hyderabad (in the
    vicinity of Raees Karan Khan Shoro Village) soil has been attempted using the simple assessment criteria
    (i.e. Chinese, Modified Chinese, and Bray’s Criteria). The study involves assessment of earthquake-induced
    liquefaction potential using simple assessment criteria, wherein ordinary engineering properties of soil
    were utilised following the laboratory tests to ascertain the liquefaction susceptibility of the subject soil.
    The research thus conducted,showed that the subject soil was significantly liquefaction prone and will
    require soil improvement measures for it to be utilised as a ground for any engineering construction
    project.

    A rainfall – runoff model describes the relation between the rainfall and runoff for a
    particular catchment area. Rainfall–runoff modelling can be carried out within a purely analytical
    framework based on observations of the inputs to and outputs from a catchment area. The relationship
    between rainfall in a period and the corresponding runoff is quite complex. The aim of this paper is to
    develop Fuzzy Logic Model to estimate runoff for any amount of rainfall given for the area considered.
    The area considered for the study is Devgadhbaria of Panam catchment area, Gujarat, India. The data
    considered are for the months of June, July, August, September and October for 10 years, i.e. 1996 to
    2005. The whole length of data is divided into two parts for training of model and for validation of the
    model. In 70%-30%, data set where 70% data are used for training of the model and 30% data are used
    for validation process and similarly for 60%-40% and 80%-20% data sets. The model operates on an ‗ifthen‘
    principle, where the ‗if‘ is a vector of fuzzy premises and the ‗then‘ is a vector of fuzzy
    consequences. Three Fuzzy Logic Models i.e., FL Model 1, FL Model 2 and FL Model 3 have been
    developed considering data set of 70%-30%, data set of 60%-40% and data set of 80%-20% respectively.
    All Fuzzy Logic Model developed with nine numbers of linguistic variables for each input and output. The
    best Fuzzy Logic Model has been analysed on basis of various performance indices, i.e., the Root Mean
    Square Error and Co-efficient of determination. Among all three models, the best Fuzzy Logic model is
    Fuzzy Logic (FL) Model 2 with the RMSE of 3.42 mm by training and 4.55 mm by validation of the model,
    and co-efficient of determination by training of the model is 0.9954 and by validation of the model is
    0.9921 which are nearer to 1, which may be used for prediction of future runoff for the area considered
    under study for any amount of rainfall given. The threshold rainfall has been determined for the area
    considered under study, which is 27 mm. So it gives a fair idea of the minimum amount of rainfall
    required for runoff generation in Devgadhbaria of Panam catchment area

    This paper presents a modified PSO algorithm that utilizes the PSO with double chaotic
    maps to solve the Economic Ordered Quantity (EOQ) problem with different cost functions. In proposed
    approach, we employ the PSO method that involves the alternating use of chaotic maps in estimating the
    velocity of the particle. Presently the PSO method has been widely used in complex designs problems with
    multiple variables where the optimization of a cost function is required. The use of pure analytical method
    for the Economic Ordered Quantity (EOQ) problem is widely studies however the best solution may
    require problem dependent derivations, complex mathematical calculations and at the worst it fails to
    achieve global best solution, hence to overcome the problem this paper presents a different approach by
    using PSO with irregular velocity updates which is performed by some kind of random function which
    force the particles to search greater space for best global solution. However the random function itself
    derived from a well-defined mathematical expression which limits its redundancy hence in the paper we
    are utilizing the two different chaotic maps which are used alternatively this mathematically increased the
    randomness of the function. The simulation of the algorithm verifies the effectiveness and superiority of
    the algorithm over standard algorithms.

    This paper presents an efficient method for spectrum allocation that uses Integer Linear
    Programming (ILP) and heuristics. In elastic networks, the WDM rigid frequency grid is replaced by a
    more flexible structure, where the spectrum is organized in frequency slots, and each traffic flow is
    assigned to an appropriate set of contiguous slots. This new concept, which is based on Orthogonal
    Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), is known as Spectrum-Sliced Elastic Optical Path Network
    (SLICE). In this paper a mathematical formulation and two heuristics are proposed to conveniently route
    the traffic demand in SLICE Networks. Numerical simulations were performed with the mathematical
    formulation for small networks, whereas the heuristics were used in large networks, where the processing
    of mathematical formulation becomes intense. The results suggest the advantage in terms of spectrum
    economy of the proposed method.

    Recent advances in wireless networks have prompted much research attention in the area of
    wireless sensor network (WSN). Sensor network consists of hundreds to thousands of low power
    multifunctioning sensor nodes operating in hostile environment with limited computational and sensing
    capabilities. In WSN it is critical to collect the information in an efficient manner. In order to avoid this
    problem we propose a new technique of improved AODV routing using least cost path. It provides energy
    aware, data gathering routing structure in wireless sensor networks. It can avoid network congestion and
    fast consumption of energy of individual node. Then it can prolong the life cycle of the whole network. The
    main goal is to maintain the maximum lifetime of the network, during data transmission in an efficient
    manner. This paper defines implementation of WSN and comparison of its performance with AODV routing
    protocol based on the least cost path. The implementation is done in NS2.

    An analysis is performed to study the effect of viscous dissipation on unsteady flow past an
    oscillating infinite vertical plate through porous medium with variable temperature, heat and mass
    transfer. The non- linear, coupled partial differential equations together with boundary condition are
    reduced to dimensionless form. The governing equations are solved numerically using implicit finite
    difference scheme of Crank-Nicolson. The results are obtained for Velocity, Temperature, and
    Concentration profiles for different physical parameters like Phase angle, Thermal Grashof number,
    Modified Grashof number, Permeability parameter, Eckert number, Prandtl number, Schmidt number and
    time. It is observed that heat and mass transfer, viscous dissipation and porous medium affect the flow
    pattern significantly.

    The increasing use of medium voltage drives and high power equipment required to
    detailed study on switching method and topology of multi-level inverters. In Asymmetric Cascaded HBridge
    topologies that have unequal input dc voltages and different devices in various parts of the CHB
    inverter, signify significant improvements for medium-voltage industrial drives. A number of modulation
    strategies are used in multi-level power conversion applications. In multi-carrier switching method for
    asymmetric CHB, the number of subject switches is less than carriers and usually is used off-line switching
    method. They’re not applicable for closed-loop systems. In this study, introduce equations for combine the
    PWMs to use the controllability advantage of the multi-carrier method in asymmetric topology. This
    method compared with the possible level shifted based on three parameters modulation index, frequency
    index and output voltage THD and finally obtain the best THD for it.

    Sensor networks are collection of sensor nodes which co-operatively send sensed data to
    base station. Clustering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an important technique to ease topology
    management and routing. Clustering provides an effective method for prolonging lifetime of a WSN. The
    different clustering algorithms also differ in their objectives. This paper proposes energy efficient clustering
    schemes for wireless sensor networks. Clustering sensor nodes into small groups is an effective method to
    achieve scalability, fault tolerance, load balancing, routing etc. The simulation results demonstrate the
    effectiveness of proposed protocol in term of energy and routing ovrhead.

    Chronic Kidney Disease prediction is one of the most important issues in medical decision
    making. The discovery of ckd prediction is an important task because it depends on experts of doctor
    knowledge. Construct effective ckd prediction in time is essential to prevent healthy patients. Chronic
    kidney disease is one of the leading cause of death and early prediction of chronic kidney disease is
    important. Prediction is most interesting and challenging tasks in day to life. Data mining play a essential
    role for prediction of medical dataset. It extract unknown information from hidden knowledge. This paper
    can proposed a new chronic kidney disease dataset with three classifiers such as radial basis function
    network, multilayer perceptron, and logistic regression. The obtained result of this experiment shows in
    terms of prediction accuracy, type I error, type II error, type I error rate, type II error rate, sensitivity,
    specificity, F-score. Kappa value represents that measure of agreement between the classification made by
    the experts and classifiers. Accuracy of the three classifiers are evaluated for the new CDK dataset from
    UCI repository. Thus, the paper discussed the result of comparative study of classifiers in medical ckd
    dataset.

    The aim of this experimental study is to assess the combined effects of using nano silica
    (NS) and steel fibers (SF) on the workability of fresh concrete and mechanical properties of hardened
    concrete. NS is used as partial cement replacement by 1, 1.5, 2, and 4 wt. %, and SF is used as volume
    substitution by 0.45, 0.9, and 1.35 %. Slump, compressive strength at 7 and 28 days of age, modulus of
    elasticity and flexural strength are evaluated using different combinations between NS and SF. Thermogravimetric
    analysis (TGA) is provided for detecting changes in hydration material due to the addition of
    NS. Significant improvement in the mechanical properties of concrete on using NS and SF, addition of NS
    not only act as pozzolanic additive, but also as pore filling leading to reduces the pore size structure of
    concrete. Optimum content of NS is (1.5 – 2) wt. % improves compressive strength for samples with
    various SF content. On the other hand, it can be stated that more than 2 wt. % NS leads to decrease
    compressive strength as unreacted agglomerated nanoparticles are existed when large amount of NS are
    used. Utilizing 2 wt. % NS with 0.9 % SF leads to doubling the modulus of elasticity compared to samples
    without either NS or SF. Finally, Flexural strength is improved 87.7 % for samples of 2 wt. % NS and 1.35
    % SF compared to samples without NS and SF.

    The Compressive strength and water permeability are experimentally evaluated on steel
    fiber (SF) reinforced concrete incorporated by nano silica (NS). NS is used as partial cement replacement
    by 1, 1.5, 2, and 4 wt%, and SF is used as volume substitution by 0.45, 0.9, and 1.35%. Scanning electron
    micrograph (SEM) is conducted for characterizing the concrete mixtures. Significant improvement in
    compressive strength of concrete by using both NS and SF, addition of NS can act as pozzolanic additive,
    and also as pore filling leading to reduce the pore size structure of concrete, hence increase in water
    permeability resistance by using NS is observed. Optimum content of NS is 2 wt% improves compressive
    strength for samples with 0% SF, 0.9% SF and 1.35% SF about 39%, 125% and 115% respectively
    compared to samples without either NS or SF. Optimum NS content of 4 wt% improved water permeability
    resistance compared to samples without NS.

    Today many industries use CNC machines for production of complicated parts, contouring
    operations etc. This paper represents the role of CAD/CAM tool for the manufacturing and modeling of K1-
    Connector which is part of two wheeler silencer comparative study has been carried out between the part code
    generated by CAM systems and one part program generated by manual part programming method. Considering
    various parameters like tool paths, cycle time, power consumption and productivity. the sample part is produced
    using the same machine tool, tooling and process parameters, and of productivity, cycle time and power
    consumed by the machine is measured by considering various tool paths like linear zig, zig-zag, zig with
    counter, step turning, and current tool path followed by operator (Manual Part Programming). The results
    shows that there is a considerable variation between cycle time, power consumption and production rate,
    between CAM tools and Manual Part Programming. In this project work after comparing the above tool path
    for part programming the zig-zag tool path generation strategy is suggested as it take minimum cycle time and
    power consumption to produce part and as well as increase in production rate of the machine

    This paper presents the effect of reinforcement inclusions (geogrids) on the sand dunes
    bearing capacity under strip footings. In this study the effectof the first geogrid reinforcementdepth (u/B)
    and its length (L/B) on the bearing capacity will be investigated. Unreinforced bases will also be tested for
    comparison purposes and determining the bearing capacity ratio (BCR). The results are analyzed to find
    relationships between the bearing capacity and the geogrid parameters. Laboratory model tests will be
    carried out on the soil (Sand Dunes) and the inclusion material (geogrid). Experimental work will be
    carried out on reinforced soil mass to study the interaction between the soil and the geogrid. The results
    show that the bearing capacity of rigid strip footings on sand dunes can be intensively increased by the
    inclusion of geogrid layers in the ground, and that the magnitude of bearing capacity increase depends
    greatly on the geogrid depth (u/B) and length (L/B). It is also shown that the load-settlement behavior and
    bearing capacity of the rigid footing can be considerably improved by the inclusion of geogrid at the
    appropriate location.

    The purpose of this research and development project is to develop a wound dressing which
    continuously measures the pH value and temperature value parameters of a wound for use in veterinary
    medicine. The measured parameters should be sent to mobile phones and personal computers via
    Bluetooth. The pH value and temperature value are important parameters used in assessing the healing
    success of a wound. This section, Part 1, describes the difficulties associated with laboratory tests using an
    ISFET sensor and the laboratory simulation of wound ichor.

    The purpose of this study is to simulate experimental study with computational fluid
    dynamics study for validation the Geometrical model is developed from literature for simulation.
    Geometrical model creation and meshing is done by ANSYS Workbench 12.1. That’s why it is important
    to design the heat exchanger in such a way that it can give best performance so that optimum
    effectiveness can be achieved. Conventionally the models of large size heat exchanger are tested and
    analysed in the laboratory to determine their performance characteristics. This is a time consuming and
    costly process. High computing facility along with these of numerical techniques can give the solution to
    any fluid flow problem in a lesser time. Fluid flow and heat transfer are simulated and get result of
    effectiveness of heat exchanger when hot water mass flow rate is kept constant and cold water mass flow
    rate changer. where Input parameter are inlet velocity, temperature, rate of fluid flow for hot fluid flow in
    (LPH) and rate of fluid flow for cold fluid in (LPH) Measured parameter are hot fluid outlet temperature,
    cold fluid out let temperature, heat taken by cold fluid, heat given by hot fluid, change in temperature in
    hot fluid as well cold fluid for parallel flow, counter flow arrangement of Helical coil and Straight tube
    heat exchangers. Model validation is carried out by comparing the effectiveness from experimental result
    from the literature

    This paper presents a speech enhancement algorithm using a one-microphone for
    automatic speech recognition system. Speech signal received in an enclosed room is distorted by reflections
    from walls and other objectives. This distortion effect named as “reverberation” degrades the fidelity and
    intelligibility of input speech in acoustic systems such as hand-free conference telephones and automatic
    speech recognition. In this project, we consider the importance effect of reverberation on speech signal
    which is referred to as overlap masking, i.e. the energy of the previous phonemes is smeared over time, and
    overlaps following phonemes. To reduce this effect, we introduced a one-microphone speech
    dereverberation algorithm based on spectral subtraction. After processing of spectral subtraction, a residue
    reverberation still fills some of the silent gaps right after high-intensity speech sections. Therefore, we
    employ a Voice Activity Detector (VAD) using spectral entropy and then attenuate these silent gaps. After
    the process the signal will be encoded by the DPCM coding.

    This paper proposes a methodology to evaluates the potential of acid rock
    drainage (ARD) in some gold mines of Brazilian ferriferous quadrangle. A program of sampling
    was developed to characterize geochemically the ores and wastes in minesites and quantify the
    potential of acid mine drainage and metal solubility. Were performed analyses by the following
    static tests: - saturated paste pH , ABA, NAG, MABA and total and soluble metal analysis. To
    compare the results is suggested a tabulation considering a relative weight for each performed
    test. In this methodology each test ( ABA, MABA or NAG) was evaluated in a graduated scale
    from zero to 100 points totalizing a maximum of 300 points.

    Two sets of polymeric composites were formed. The first set included epoxy as matrix ,
    while the second set included unsaturated polyester UP as matrix. The two sets were reinforced with
    Polyvinyl Chloride PVC at different volume fractions. Each set was formed into two groups: one was
    allowed to cure at room temperature and the other was post cured at 40°C for 4hr . The percent of
    reinforcing and the curing temperature can affect the behavior of composites. The epoxy composites is the
    highest in hardness and impact strength than unsaturated polyester composites after reinforcing with
    thermoplastic material PVC. The best results were reached after post curing at 40°C for 4hr .

    Track rollers are usually subjected to heavy stresses during guide and launching processes.
    Design of such roller system to withstand high dynamic loads during guiding and launching processes may
    lead to massive structure of the launcher such in mobile bridges launchers. The feature-based modeling
    technology in computer aided design (CAD) has been widely studied, which greatly facilitates the
    manufacture of the design.In this study computer aided engineering (CAE) techniques was used in design of
    a smart bridge launcher guide which insure satisfaction distribution of the applied dynamic loads during
    launching and enhancing roller systemdesign. Results show that roller systemdesign has significant effect
    on rolling resistance and overall launching process

    In ancient time there was need of developing some machinery equipment which will lead
    toreduce the human efforts. Sothis resulted in development of various hand operated machines. These
    machines fulfilled the basic production needs through lesser human efforts. But in today’scompetitive
    world, the company has to always implement new strategies which will help them to linger in the market
    and generally the lowest cost producer always wins.As the process of doing business gets more complex
    and cumbersome, technology and automation become vital resources for the success and continued growth
    of organization.So with this view shearing machine of a new type i.e. electromagnetic shearing machine
    was fabricated to overcome all the problems faced by the company in which this project was done. The
    results obtained after testing the newlyfabricated machine shown that the performance of machine is better
    than manual machine and it can also perform other functions with high accuracy and at low cost.

    In this present study, the abrasive wear is calculated at different loads in the High Carbon
    Steel blades of Hand Hacksaw. The Wear and change in Height of Teeth is calculated for the blades of High
    Carbon Steel at different Loads i.e. 5N,10N,15N and 20N with the help of the experimental Setup prepared.
    The wear and change in height of teeth of blades is calculated through Mass Loss and Profile Projector
    respectively before and after cutting the given specimen of Mild steel. The result indicates that the wear in
    the blades increases with the increase in load and reduction in height of the teeth also increases with
    increase in Load.

    Fractal analysis of macro-grain size distributions in pure-Al and Al-Ti based alloys
    produced by electrolysis process were comparatively studied. The macro-grain sizes resulting from each
    macrograph treated with 0.04, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 12 (mass%) silicon contents were analyzed using
    weighted average and a measure of dispersion (variance), which is done by measuring the dispersion of the
    shapes of the grains from that of a perfect sphere (β = 1). Spherical grain size results were obtained in
    pure-Al with 12% silicon contents and Al-Ti based alloy with 1% silicon contents having sphericity's value
    of 0.9952 ± 0.0043 and 0.9989 ± 0.0011 respectively. The analysis revealed that high percentage of silicon
    contents in pure-Al produced by electrolysis method favour the growth of macro-grain sizes. On the other
    hand, low percentage of silicon contents in Al-Ti based alloy promotes the formation and distribution of
    macro-grain sizes

    Large grid connected synchronous generators are required to be protected from several
    abnormal operating conditions that are both major and minor in nature. The generating units as such
    require multiple protection devices to provide comprehensive protection against these fault conditions.
    Amongst these protection functions, the Anti-motoring (ANSI Code-32) and Abnormal Frequency (ANSI
    Code-81) protections are discussed in this paper. The concepts and possible control strategy for
    implementation of these protection functions as a part of integrated multifunction generator protection
    relay have been outlined and modelled using Matlab Simulink software. The power system used for
    simulation was modelled using a separately excited large synchronous generating system connected to a
    132 KV, 50 HZ transmission network through a high voltage breaker. The operation and performance of
    both of the protection functions have been analysed by simulating time varying output of prime mover and
    variable loads on the power system.

    This paper discusses the comparative study of the existing GETCO’S (Gujarat Energy
    Transmission Co.) 400 KV 3-phase double circuit line, up-rated with Six-phase with different loading
    conditions, and voltage ratings with respect to transmission line efficiency, regulation and SIL with a
    discussion on the salient points of Six-phase system with respect to 3-phase double circuit line and HVDC
    transmission system. By using HPOTS the transmission capability of 3-phase double circuit can be
    enhanced by 1.71 to 1.74 times or for the same amount of power transfer we require compact tower
    design, reveals in saving in tower and foundation cost at the same time it will mitigate the problem of right
    of way. While studying the effectiveness of series compensation to improve voltage regulation and power
    transfer capability of HPOTS it’s observed that the net transfer reactance depends on “Degree
    Compensation”, “location” of the compensation bank, line length and the number of banks over which
    series compensation is distributed. The series compensation was found to be most effective at midpoint of
    the line but if we count the line resistance then the said position will shift slightly towards receiving end.
    The result obtained is graphically plotted for readers’ ease.

    This paper presents a mathematical model for a sequential imperfect preventive maintenance
    policy which considers stochastic factors affecting the failure rate and service life of a repairable
    deteriorating system. The failure rate and maintenance expenses depend on a number of influencing factors,
    such as the age, condition of the equipment, plant capacity utilization, mode of operation as well as the
    applied maintenance concept. With the failure rate following the Weibull distribution, the model investigates
    the combination of the age reduction and failure rate increase coefficients to determine the optimal intervals
    between preventive maintenance schedules and overhauls in order to minimize the expected costs over an
    infinite time horizon. The optimal policies are presented and numerical examples are also given.

    To produce the fermented beet juice, the association of the cultures Lactobacillus fermentum
    27 and Lactobacillus plantarum 22 was recommended. The conditions for preparing a dried starter from
    the association of lactic acid bacteria L. fermentum 27 and L. plantarum 22 have been selected. It was
    established that the optimal protective components for freeze drying of the bacteria include 7% glucose
    together with 5% dried skimmed milk and a combination of 5% sucrose, 5% lactose, and 5% dried skimmed
    milk. The possibility of using beet residues to enhance the antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria has
    been demonstrated.
