Sorting of the products in the industry is very difficult task and continuous manual sorting creates issues. It is
very desirable to create a machine that identify the objects and relocate them if the object meets certain criteria.
This paper presents a solution to sort the coloured objects with the help of the robotic arm. The objects when
placed on the conveyor belt are sorted based on colour sensing and are relocated to specific location. When an
object moves from one location to another on the conveyor belt, the sensors give the input to the microcontroller
which then give the command to the robotic arm to do the task. TCS3200 colour sensor is used for detection of
the colour of the object. DC motors are used to move the conveyor belt, gripper and the lifter. Arduino Nano
microcontroller is used to give the commands. L293D motor driver is used to drive the motors and LCD display
makes the system user friendly.

Eichhornia crassipes transfered to Iraq from Egypt in order to use as garnish plants in plantation in military
channel region in Baghdad, and transferred to Tigris River, then spread in rivers, streams and irrigation
stations in Karbala city and Dhi Qar city. Eichhornia crassipes is the most serious aquatic plants affecting the
water resources in most countries , which is one of the most dangerous jungles of the world , widespread and
endemic in a region is a disaster of those regional water and cause devastating case and cause significant
economic losses due to the quickly spread of this plant. There are three generally methods used to control
Eichhornia crassipes invasion (mechanical method, chemical method, biological method). The mechanical
method is the oldest method used in treatment this herb, chemical method used in very high spread of herb,
while biological method is very effective without any environmental effects

Multi directional Cold rolling of Al 6061 along the transverse and longitudinal direction results in more
uniform distribution of the particulates. This rolling is associated with a considerable amount of damage to the
particulates. Room temperature tensile tests and Vickers hardness test carried out on the rolled alloy at different
reduction ratios showed, significant increase in strength and hardness. However, the test results show that the
alloy could be cold rolled up to 50% reduction without forming any edge crack. Such behaviors of rolled al
alloy are analyzed on the basis of change of microstructure from cores to fine results in increase of tensile
strength and hardness by increasing the reduction ratio in the cold rolling process.

From a national economic viewpoint, floods, both riverine and coastal, are the most destructive category of
natural hazards in India. The economic losses to homes and personal property, to crops, business facilities and
stock , utilities are major manifestations of flood losses. India is highly vulnerable to floods. in that scenario
there is a urgent requirement for development and installation of enhanced flood forecasting sites in various
commonly flooding regions . In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a sensor-based
embedded system for flood management. The project is mainly concerned on how the data of the flood is being
used and analyzed for future forecasting. The Embedded system acquires many types of electronic devices
such as GSM, Level sensor and many other to be deployed at remote locations, wherever mobile network is
available. Collection of data occurs at user defined intervals of time and is to uploaded to the database .the
information acquired into the database can then be easily viewed from anywhere , used for further analysis .
The system is being designed on MATLAB Software for the ease of analysis.

Analysis of rainfall in years and the amount of precipitate is vital in examining the arid environments where
resources are scarce and unpredictable. In the study, the rainfall in years and amount of precipitation in Kuwait
was analyzed using the data recorded for the year 1962 up until 2010. the purpose of the manuscript is to
review the rainfall patterns in arid environment specifically Kuwait, to review and analyze the total rainy days
happened in Kuwait since 1962 up to 2010 with relation to the total amount of precipitation in millimeters, to
review and analyze the total rainy days per month happened in Kuwait since 1962 up to 2010, to review and
analyze the total amount of precipitation in millimeters happened per month, correlating to the average total
rainy days per month, and to analyze the amount of rainfall with the created 12-year intervals starting from the
year 1962 up to 2010. The data showed that for every increase in the total number of rainy days per year, it is
proportional to the increase in the total amount of precipitation in millimeters. Given the 49 years, starting from
the year 1962 up to 2010, the rainy season of Kuwait starts in October and ends in May, while the dry season
occurs from June to September. The highest amount of precipitation in millimeters occurs in the month of
January. The highest total number of rainy days happened in the year 1972 with the total of 72 rainy days. The
highest amount of precipitation happened in Kuwait was in the year 1976 with 242.4 millimeters, and the lowest
was in the year 1991 with 13 millimeters. It can be concluded that due to climate change, there is a continuous
decline in the amount of precipitation and a total number of rainy days in the long run. One of the
recommendations necessary for the study is to compare and validate the gathered data to other researchers and
expert teams that are fully dedicated to observing and gathering data, mainly in those arid environments,
including Kuwait so that the result of the study can be confirmed whether it is the natural variations are the
reason behind rainfall patterns that is happening in Kuwait, either with or without the influence of greenhouse
gas. Another is to conduct Hydrological Accounting to look more into details about what is happening during
the condensation and precipitation in the approximate total amount of water present in Kuwait. By conducting
Hydrological Accounting in Kuwait including its nearby countries, it may result in creating multiple hypothesis
aside from climate change and may also result in having a right approximation of when will be the next year of
having the highest amount of precipitation in millimeters and when will be the next highest total amount of rainy
days a year. A collaboration with the team experts, researchers, and other sectors who are dedicated to
analyzing the hydro-climatology of Kuwait and nearby countries, and those who are well dedicated to
accounting the hydrology of the country is also necessary to avoid speculations and provide intelligent
hypotheses for the future study regarding the variation of rainfall in Kuwait. Collaboration with the team
experts and researchers is also necessary to pinpoint what are the missing data necessary for the study. With the
collaboration, there will be clarity and consistency about the data gathered with those data which were
gathered by other people. With the compilation of the gathered data, the analysis regarding the variation of
rainfall we are supported by different analyzed data.

Grid computing technologies have the potential of providing universities in this country with opportunities and
mechanisms to utilize a wide range of heterogeneous, distributed resources for computational and dataintensive
applications, and provide an avenue to heterogeneous collaborative research platforms that can be
accessed by different hardware and software platforms. The objective of this paper was to find out which
technologies are being used to support collaborative research and further investigate the opportunities, benefits
provided by grid technologies in universities as well as the challenges faced. The study is carried out through
an examination of reports and academic documents from universities in Kenya scientific research papers in
journals and conference proceedings, and from online journals and. The paper concludes that there are many
benefits of using grid technologies in collaborative research systems and therefore encourages researchers in
universities of developing countries to consider utilizing these technologies since many universities are ready
and willing to automate and integrate most of their systems that support research.

Maximum power transfer in solar micro-grid applications is achieved by impedance matching with a dc–dc
converter with maximum power point tracking by the incremental conductance method. Cuk dc to dc converters
because of the increase and decrease voltage capability is an important and two inductors in the input and
output decrease current ripple significantly. This paper describes how to use non-linear inductors in Cuk
converter and designs values of capacitors properly. Because of the Cuk converter uses two inductors, use of
variable inductors has great value and reduce the size and cost of inductors and increases the operating range
of the tracker to recover solar energy at low solar levels. In other words, the range of operation is extended for
low light levels or partially shaded solar panels. The MPPT controller with a variable inductance is robust and
reliable over the full operating range. The validity of the proposed converter is verified with computer
simulations using PSCAD/EMTDC.

The concept of Photo catalysis is being incorporated into catalytic converter to increase the efficiency as well
as to reduce the production cost. Conventional converters make use of surface catalyst process using noble
metals like palladium and rhodium. Our concept works based on photo catalytic reactions by Titanium dioxide
and Zinc oxide thereby reducing the NOx emissions and CO emissions. Development of this proposal will reduce
the fabrication cost of catalytic converter as well as lay seeds of foundation for the future of photocatalytic
converters.

In this paper a novel approach i.e. neuro-fuzzy technique is used for the first time in modeling rotary furnace parameters to predict the melting rate of the molten metal required to produce homogenous castings. The relationship between the process variables (input) viz. flame temperature, preheat air temperature, rotational speed of the furnace, excess air, melting time, and fuel consumption and melting rate (output) is very complex and is agreeable to neuro-fuzzy approach. The neuro-fuzzy model has been created out of training data obtained from the series of experimentation carried out on rotary furnace. The results provided by neuro-fuzzy model compares well with the experimental data. This work has considerable implications in selection and control of process variables in real time and ability to achieve energy and material savings, quality improvement and development of homogeneous properties throughout the casting and is a step towards agile manufacturing.

Otitis media is the inflammation of the middle ear and has a worldwide distribution, particularly among children. A total of 68 patients between the ages 0-42 years who presented with sign and symptoms of otitis media at Bichi general hospital were enrolled for this study. Middle ear discharge were collected, processed and bacterial isolates identified using standard microbiological techniques. Disc susceptibility tests were performed on bacterial isolates. Results indicated that there was a high frequency of occurrence of bacteria incriminated in otitis media in the 0-5 and 6-11 year age groups in the two sexes. Male patients in the two age groups were more infected than the female counterparts. The sensitivity pattern obtained in this study show a progressive increase in the emergence of strains that are resistant to many chemotherapeutic agents. Drug resistance among bacterial isolates is a common phenomenon placing challenge to both medical practitioners and genetic scientists. A routine check on sensitivity patterns among these pathogens is vital so as to regulate the prescription measure to be employed.

The interactions of SAA and SAA protofibrils with protecting role of alphaB-Crystallin with hepta 1-6 cells of the mouse are dealt with in detail to study the binding of SAA protofibrils in various conditions. Specifically, interaction of serum amyloid A fibrils with a cell surface binding site/receptor might alter the local environment to cause cellular dysfunction and to be more favorable for amyloid formation and prevention with alphaB-Crystallin. This is important in relation to the activity of membrane proteins, because losing the activity of such systems will ultimately lead to malfunction or death of the cell. The interactions of Serum Amyloid A (SAA) and Serum Amyloid A protofibrils with hepta 1-6 cells of the mouse are dealt with in detail to study the binding of SAA protofibrils in various onditions.

The interaction of serum amyloid A fibrils with a cell surface binding site/receptor might alter the local environment to cause cellular dysfunction and to be more favorable for amyloid formation. In the present study, concluding that the SAA fibrils and SAA protein binding and cell cytotoxicity was reduced in the presence of alphaB-Crystallin.

An operational condition of a power system is able to affect to stability performances after disturbed by a certain fault on the interconnection system. Moreover, this fault also gives impact to the blackout situation created by a large disturbance as disconnecting back bone lines of the interconnection system. In detail, this case is presented in this paper for evaluating transient stability performances of generating units while producing energy for the load center online the power system operation with the blackout situation designed using a branch tripping method. Furthermore, the transient stability responses are subjected to the power generation of the electric power system in Malang Raya as a real system operation for interacting the generating and demand sites. Results obtained show that voltage changes of Wlingi power station is 0.944 pu to 0.946 pu and its overshoot is 0,962. But the other overshoot of the power generation in Sutami remained to 0.968 pu at 0.5 second after appearing a blackout fault and its voltage increase to 0.952 pu from 0.948 pu at the final stable position.

Conventional concrete is the most widely used construction material throughout the world because of its versality, mouldability, durability, and resistance to fire and energy efficiency. However, its major disadvantages like poor tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking resists its use as a structural material. Hence, in order to overcome these difficulties several new materials have been developed in the recent past.Admixtures are ingredients other than water, aggregates, hydraulic cement and fibers that are added to the concrete batch immediately before or during mixing. Mineral admixtures are usually added to concrete in larger amounts to enhance the workability of fresh concrete, to improve resistance of concrete to thermal cracking, alkali-aggregate expansion and sulphate attack and to enable a reduction in cement content. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of various mineral admixtures in producing SCC. In this study the scope of GGBS ( Ground granular blast furnace slag ) as a mineral admixture to some percentage replace cement in SCC were studied. The study showed that a maximum of 50% GGBS were able to be used as a mineral admixture without affecting the self-compactability

Enterprises globally are undergoing business transformation. Organisations and corporate world have been
searching for ways to enhance their businesses in order to be agile and how development in information
technology (IT) can help them achieve this in today’s unstable economic climate. Large-scale changes in the
business affect operations, which in turn impact business systems. Changes in the underlying technology
infrastructure are often needed to enable business transformation. The study carried out shows that architecture
is the key to managing complexity and scale of change in the business. The method used is the integration of the
processes for strategic, business, operations, systems and technology planning in a way that also integrates with
other business and technology governance processes. Enterprise Architecture provides a framework to
describe, manage and align the various elements of an organisation such as business processes, information,
applications and technology and enables to understand the relationships between these elements and their
environment to better facilitate change. This article proposes enterprise architecture (EA) as an effective Tool
to Business Innovation Realization in the Enterprise.
