Paper Title: Human Task Recognition using CNN Abstract: In this fast pacing world, computers are also getting better in terms of their performance and speed. It is capable of solving very complex problems like understanding an image, understanding videos and live capturing and processing of data. Due to advancement in technologies like computer vision, machine learning techniques, deep learning methods, artificial intelligence, etc., various models are being made so that prediction of outputs is made simpler and of high accuracy and precision. Our project model is built using a convolutional neural network (CNN). Our dataset consists of 599 videos in which 100 videos was assigned to each category of basic human actions like Running, Boxing, walking etc. In this project, we have used a set of labelled videos which was used to train our three models. The CNN is used as a base network in all the three models to process all the videos from the dataset, that is, to read all the frames and convert into heat maps. Out of our three models, the best model is used to give prediction for the actions performed in the video. The results show that with better algorithm techniques, the performance of the model is also improved.

3. Paper Title: A Generalized Deep Learning Model for Denoising Image Datasets Abstract: Advance in technology world has lots of contributions from artificial intelligence which is a highly 9-14 growing area. The failure of traditional algorithms has led to the employment of deep learning algorithms in various fields like pattern recognition, recommendation systems and classification systems. Removal of noise from images can be done using traditional noise removal filters. These filters can either remove more noise that wanted or leave unwanted noise than what is needed in the data. Utilization of Convolutional neural networks designed based on the dataset requirements along with the noise removal filter can yield better results. In this work, evaluation of the performance of convolutional neural network (CNN) against existing image denoising algorithms has been successfully executed . The proposed model is a generalized CNN model which can recognize and classify any type of noisy image given. Two types of model were compared where one model 1 uses the Adam optimizer and model 2 uses the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizer. The image dataset used here is MNIST handwritten dataset, which is trained, tested and validated with both the models by adding three different types of noise viz, Poisson, Salt and Pepper as well as Gaussian Noise. More accuracy and better results were given by the model 2 which uses the SGD optimizer.

Keywords: Adam, Convolutional Neural Network, Classification, SGD.

Paper Title: A Computer Vision Based System for Classification of Chemically and Naturally Ripened Mangoes Abstract: Recently there was news indicating that mangoes might cause cancer. The news was based on the fact that mangoes were being artificially ripened using a chemical- calcium carbide and Ethrel, a well- known carcinogenic. The consumers hence have to be careful in buying the mangoes. In this study, we have proposed a model for classification of artificially and naturally ripened mangoes using k-NN and SVM classifiers. In order to improve the efficacy of the model, color space features such like RGB, HSV, L*a*b are extracted. Along with the color space features, 14 Haralick texture features are also extracted here. An mango is automatically segmented in an image using modified K-means clustering segmentation method. For the experimental study, mangoes of 2 varieties such as Badami and Raspuri have been taken. In each variety, three different classes of ripened mangoes are taken such as naturally and in chemical, two artificial ripening treatments were applied like calcium carbide and Ethrel solution. The obtained experimental result in terms of F-measure is ranging from 64% to 84% for two different varieties of mangoes using two different chemicals. Further this proposed model can be implemented for different variety of mangoes.

Keywords: Calcium carbide; Ethrel; SVM; KNN.

Paper Title: Dual Source Self Displaying Water Pumps Abstract: Energy may be a key ingredient for the development of a nation. India is a country that is profusely endued with renewable energy sources. It is an outsized nation and the rate of electrification have not unsubdued speed with the increasing people, development and industrialisation has resulted in the increasing shortage between need and supply of electricity. Individuals who are not provided the facility grid need to be dependent on fossil fuels like diesel and petrol for his or her power wants and additionally incur significant revenant expenditure. We have taken initiative to design and implement a pump which will be operated on multiple energy sources. The pump is operated by taking power from the prevailing AC grid and facility taken from the standalone electrical photovoltaic system. The pump works on renewable solar power and whenever there is a shortage of solar power, it is switched to AC grid. Additionally, to the system, a self-display unit has been put in within the pump. This unit helps the buyer to observe the motor parameters like voltage, current and frequency 5. any time. This unit helps in reducing the value for putting in a separate meter close to the starter of the pump. This increases the compactness of the pump. 20-24

Keywords: AC grid, Photovoltaic system, Solar energy, Self- displaying unit, Water pump.

Paper Title: Healthy and Unhealthy Leaf Classification using Convolution Neural Network and Cslbp Features Abstract: Once applied to real world images, most machine learning models for the automated identification of diseases have limited efficiency. Plant diseases cause major agricultural production and economic loss. These illnesses also show visible signs, including lines, streaks and shift in color, on leaf surfaces. Many researchers have recently researched the potential use of image treatment and computer processing in plants and leaves to diagnose disease. There is space for improved performance though several methods and computer procedures have been developed in this area of investigation. Several previous models only deal with a few morphological features of the diseased regions. A new method for detecting plant leave's disease using the segmentation, and CNN approach based on GLCM and LPQ features of the Basil and Guava leaves feedback imagery has been established in the present paper. The findings revealed that the suggested model is as effective as possible, for both basil and guava leaves, to better distinguish healthy and unhealthy leaves. The overall accuracy of the Guava dataset is 97.1% and the basil dataset is 92.1%. 6. Keywords: Bilateral Filter, CNN, GLCM, Leaf Disease Classification, LPQ. 25-31 References: 1.

Paper Title: Earthquake Analyzer using Prediction Commands Abstract: Destructive earthquakes usually causes gargantuan casualties. So, to cut back these inimical casualties’ analysis are made to reduce despicable and forlorn impacts which they left upon others to just ponder and become lugubrious. These factors measure the decisive casualties it brings and also earthquake and 8. therefore the development of rational prediction model to casualties become a crucial analysis topic, as a result of quality and cognitive content of gift prediction methodology of price, an additional correct prediction model 36-38 is mentioned by gray correlation theory and BP neural networks. The earthquake can be analyzed succinct by using various technique mainly predictive commands to marshal all the calculated time and magnitude of a potential earthquake have been the topic of the many studies varied ways are tried mistreatment several input variables like temperature exorable, seismic movements and particularly the variable climatic conditions. The relation between recorded seismal-acoustic information associate degreed occurring an abnormal seismic process (ASP). However, it's obstreperous to predict all parameters the placement, time and magnitude of the earthquake by mistreatment this information. This model description is different from others as with the help of the prediction commands most of the paragons and domains are identified and tend to explore the activity of serious Earthquakes. We use the preemptive data information which is collected around the planet. We retrieved the data to perceive that associate degree earthquake reaches the class of exceeds a grade range of eight on Richter Scale. The two main affected areas are in the field of Data Exploration and Data Mapping. Number of occurrences of an earthquake with different magnitude ranges, severity of an earthquake. Mapping is thereby crucial to identify highly affected areas based on Magnitude and Correlation between depth and magnitude. So, based on the above explorations we have made the following predictions. Predictions Magnitude based on depth. Magnitude based on Latitude and Longitude. Depth based on Latitude and Longitude The primitive algorithm used here are the Machine Learning Algorithm I.e. Linear Regression and K- Means Clustering. Firstly, we have made all the predictions via Linear Regression and made different clusters of the Earthquakes which belong to the same subdivision as that of Magnitude or Depth

One of such widely used stateless token is Json Web Token. This paper deals with the research that follows implementation of authentication and authorization technique using JSON web token which will make web service a role based one .In the project under taken, Json web token is generated in a more secured way by choosing the secret key for web token wisely. Usually key for the token was a mere string or the set of keys stored in a key ring in the database and used alternately for the users to create the token. Or one more trial model is created where captcha was used in short a random number was generated and used as secret key for token generation but the main issue was increased storage. Thus storage is tried to reduce also less predictive secret key is generated in this project.

Paper Title: Hierarchical Structure of Active Distribution Network in Power System Abstract: The active distribution network (ADN) is an integral component of the smart grid. The ADN improves reliability and resiliency in the power grid integrated with many distributed energy resources (DERs). This is possible that, during outage, the ADN can be isolated from the main grid and it can continue to operate in island mode with indeterminate broken links and scarce generation resources. With the active management of increasing DERs, the distribution network is changed to active distribution network from passive network. This paper reviews the characteristics and challenges of deployment of distributed power plants (DPPs) in hierarchical active distribution network

Paper Title: 62-65 Authors: Sebghatullah Karimi, Zabihullah Zhakfar, Mohammad Ismail Sarwary Study of Excessive Bureaucracy in Construction Projects – Causes of Low Level of Competition and Paper Title: Lengthy Tendering Process: A Case Study of Afghanistan Abstract: Excessive bureaucracy has been one of the most challenging issue for infrastructure sector in many countries. Countries are different in terms of their institutional settings, organizational cultures and political balance, and therefore, Afghanistan infrastructure/construction sector is no exception. This phenomenon has negatively impacted the delivery of infrastructure projects and hindering the country to reach its strategic economic goals. There are national projects that have been delayed for several years and the average tendering duration, based on existing researches, is almost 3 times more than the normal practices. This research is aimed to identify major causes of excessive bureaucracy in infrastructure sector that influence the level of competition and tendering duration, and provide technical recommendations for improvements. To do so, 17 factors causing low level of competition and lengthy tendering process have been identified through literature review and interviews. The factors are categorized under two groups; causes of; 1) low level of competition and, 2) lengthy tendering process. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to 80 construction firms. As a result, a response rate of 40% was achieved. Relative importance index (RII) is used to analyze the survey result. The research findings indicate that the top 5 factors causing excessive bureaucracy in delivering infrastructure/construction projects in Afghanistan and causing low level of competition and lengthy tendering process are: 1) Using traditional methods of procurement instead of electronic system, 2) Lack of accountability by procuring entities, 3) Delay in payments to companies, 4) Slow decision – making by procuring entities and 5) Corruption during the project lifecycle (inception to completion). The outcome of this research will help the 13. government to take necessary actions for eliminating unnecessary steps in the procurement of public infrastructure projects and ultimately improve project delivery. In addition, the research findings will help the construction companies to be fully aware of bureaucracy risks in the procurement process and develop necessary 66-73 risk mitigation plan for the successful completion of construction projects.

Various research are being carried out to find a suitable replacement for the non-bio degradable plastic reinforced composites, which has a negative impact on the Environment. A similar attempt is made to present an overview of recent research efforts addressing the properties of isophthalic polyester based Bamboo fabric mat as a replacement for E-glass fabric. The Bamboo fabric is made water repellent and the properties are promoted through mercerization process. The mercerization process is done using 8% of sodium in water to form the sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The property of the fabric is further promoted by adding charcoal, during the hand moulding process. The composite material is developed with the help of isophthalic polyester resin with 2% of accelerator and hardener used along with it. Experiments are carried out as per ASTM standards to find the mechanical properties namely, tensile strength and modulus, flexural strength and modulus, and impact strength. In addition to mechanical properties, water absorption capacity and the rate of burning of the composites is also studied. Further, fractured surface of the specimen is subjected to morphological study using scanning electron microscope. With help of the research and study, it can be found whether the isophthalic resin-based bamboo fabric mat can be used as an alternate for E-Glass fabric composite in various applications such as automobile 14. and structural applications.

Ogunsakin Meta-Analysis of Heuristic Approaches for Optimizing Node Localization and Energy Efficiency in Paper Title: Wireless Sensor Networks 15. Abstract: Background: In the literature node localization and energy efficiency are intrinsic problems often experienced in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Consequently, various heuristic approaches have been proposed to allay the challenges faced by WSNs. However, there is little to nothing in the literature to support 81-88 which of the heuristic approaches is best in optimizing node localization and energy efficiency problems in WSN. The aim of this paper is to assess the best heuristic approach to date on resolving the node localization and energy efficiency in WSNs. Method: The extraction of the relevant articles was designed following the technique of preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). All the included research articles were searched from the widely used databases of Google Scholar and Web of Science. All statistical analysis was performed with the fixed-effects model and the random-effects model implementation in RStudio. The overall pooled global estimate and categorization of performance for the heuristic approaches were presented in forest plots. Results: A total of 18 studies were included in this meta-analysis and the overall pooled estimated categorization of the heuristic approaches was 35% (95% CI (13%, 67%)). According to subgroup analysis the pooled estimation of heuristic approach with hyper-heuristic was 71% (95% CI: 6% to 99%), I2 = 100%) while the hybrid heuristic, was 31% (95% CI: 3% to 87%, I2 = 100%) and metaheuristic was 21%(95% CI: 9% to 41%, I2 = 100%). Conclusion: It can be concluded based on the experimental results that hyper- heuristic approach outclassed the hybrid heuristic and metaheuristic approaches in optimizing node localization and energy efficiency in WSNs.

Paper Title: Analysis of EEG signals using Machine Learning for the Detection and Diagnosis of Epilepsy Abstract:Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most commonly used tools for epilepsy detection. In this paper we have presented two methods for the diagnosis of epilepsy using machine learning techniques.EEG 16. waveforms have five different kinds of frequency bands. Out of which only two namely theta and gamma bands carry epileptic seizure information. Our model determines the statistical features like mean, variance, maximum, 89-93 minimum, kurtosis, and skewness from the raw data set. This reduces the mathematical complexities and time consumption of the feature extraction method. It then uses a Logistic regression model and decision tree model to classify whether a person is epileptic or not. After the implementation of the machine learning models, parameters like accuracy, sensitivity, and recall have been found. The results for the same are analyzed in detail in this paper. Epileptic seizures cause severe damage to the brain which affects the health of a person. Our key objective from this paper is to help in the early prediction and detection of epilepsy so that preventive interventions can be provided and precautionary measures are taken to prevent the patient from suffering any severe damage

Paper Title: Machine Learning Based Prediction of Suicide Probability Abstract: Many factors have led to the increase of suicide-proneness in the present era. As a consequence, many novel methods have been proposed in recent times for prediction of the probability of suicides, using 17. different metrics. The current work reviews a number of models and techniques proposed recently, and offers a novel Bayesian machine learning (ML) model for prediction of suicides, involving classification of the data into separate categories. The proposed model is contrasted against similar computationally-inexpensive techniques 94-97 such as spline regression. The model is found to generate appreciably accurate results for the dataset considered in this work. The application of Bayesian estimation allows the prediction of causation to a greater degree than the standard spline regression models, which is reflected by the comparatively low root mean square error (RMSE) for all estimates obtained by the proposed model.

Keywords: Bayesian model, classification, machine learning, spline regression, suicide prediction.

Differences in weight, even the slightest change in weight assignment, can drastically change the final decision. Moreover, in the case of distributing social assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic, objectivity and accuracy of weighting the criteria for potential recipients are very important applied for the welfare of the community. The proposes study 3 popular models of ranking methods for weighting criteria in the internet data package assistance cases. Weighting is given to 390 alternatives with 5 decision-making criteria based on online learning needs and economic cost capabilities. The decision analysis method uses the reference point and optimization from Moora. The study results were found accuracy, precision and error rate performance each method using a confusion matrix approach. The study results discussed raised several important points of findings, that the three ranking methods (RS, RR, ROD) have their respective characteristics in weighting importance, where the level of accuracy and precision of the rank-sum method is better than the RR and ROD methods (for the case: 5 criteria; 390 alternatives). Other things in giving weight value from important to most important are comparable, and the weight value of the non-benefit (cost) criteria in the ranking method have a significant effect on performance results. These three methods are simple in use and with the assessment of replacement weights that can be determined how important these variables are to the principal of these criteria.

The output voltage of signal defects with different thicknesses of test materials (i.e., Copper, Brass and Magnesium Alloy) can be determined from the optimum distance of LO height of the ECT technique. Previously, an established frequency was determined for these particular materials (i.e., Copper = (5.00-5.25) MHz, Brass = (4.75-5.25)MHz and Magnesium Alloy= (4.75-5.00)MHz). The frequency then generated the established voltage signal of the ECT technique. The acquired optimum distance of LO height for these materials is approximately 2mm. The findings from this established technique indicated that the determined optimum distance of LO height can find the output voltage signal of the defects as well as to detect the thicknesses.

Suriya Authors: Subramanian Advancement, Characterization and Analogy of Jute Fabric and E-Glass Fibre Reinforced with Paper Title: Isophthalic Resin Based Composite Abstract: In recent years, there has been a growing need for natural fibre reinforced composite materials especially materials with good mechanical properties in order to substitute glass fibre based composite products to showcase a better engineering class for structural applications. Here the properties of jute fabric reinforced composite has been compared and analysed with e-glass fibre matte reinforced composite. The mercerized jute and e- glass fibre mats are treated with isophthalic resin. Charcoal powder has been used as a filler material constituting two percentage of the whole weight of entire composite. Isophthalic polyester resins offer substantially higher strength, better flexibility and chemical resistance. The properties of the jute composite and e-glass composite are determined by a series of tests such as Tensile, Flexural, Impact, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Rate of Burning tests. The newly obtained composites provide a better usage for applications that require a much better physical strength and mechanical properties.

Paper Title: Redefining Engineering Education in Africa through Delivering Total Engineering Abstract: Engineering education in sub-Saharan Africa has the potential to contribute to economic and social development of any country. But it has not been leveraged on appropriately to culminate in economic and social development in the countries in Africa. This implies that for Africa as a region to leverage fully on the potentials of engineering education to ensure economic and social development, it must be redefined through delivering total engineering. This study was a theoretical discourse on redefining engineering education in Africa through delivering total engineering and evidences from established literature were used in giving more credence to the work. Delivering Total engineering is a composite of three words which are delivering, total and engineering. This study conceptualized what delivering total engineering and it was defined as an educational perspective which showcases the relationship between learning and teaching which is crucial to innovation in the delivery of capable, competent and confident graduate which are the outcomes. Findings revealed that the three dimensions (delivering, total, engineering) are crucial in redefining engineering education in Africa and they were analyzed in support of this study. The study therefore recommends intensification of effort on research on delivering total 25. engineering as it has no theoretical basis. Pragmatism is also important to verify the veracity of the concept. 140-145 Keywords: redefine, engineering, engineering education, Africa, delivering total engineering, delivering, total, engineering.

Authors: Kehdinga George Fomunyam Chaos Engineering (Principles of Chaos Engineering) As the Pathway to Excellence and Relevance Paper Title: in Engineering Education in Africa Abstract: A study on engineering in sub-Saharan Africa revealed that engineering is pivotal for economic and social development of any country. This is profound as it underscores the potentials embedded in engineering education for excellence and relevance in Africa. This has not been the case in Africa, as the region has not developed evenly with other countries from the Global South. Hence, the impetus for chaos engineering as a panacea to excellence and relevance in engineering education in Africa. Chaos engineering has been defined by various authors and one of the profound definitions is that chaos engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a distributed system with the intent to build confidence in the system`s capability to withstand turbulent conditions during production. This study therefore looked at chaos engineering, its history and applicability and conceptualize it as a pathway for excellence and relevance in engineering education in Africa. Findings from the that engineering is pivotal for economic and social development of any country but it has not resulted to such in Africa which necessitates chaos principles. It was found out that experimentation is a basic principle of chaos engineering while the advanced principles are hypothesizing about steady state, vary real-world events, run experiments in production, automate experiments to run continuously, minimize blast radius. These all were conceptualized as the pathway to excellence and relevance in engineering education in Africa. The study recommended that there is a need to intensify effort on researching more into chaos engineering in Africa.

Establishment, Description and Equivalence of Flax Fabric Reinforced and E-Glass Fabric Paper Title: Reinforced Polyester Based Composite Abstract: Every fabric can be categorized as either synthetic or natural fibre. Both natural and synthetic fibre have both advantages and disadvantages. Natural fibres are extracted from various plants and animals’ sources, while synthetic fibres are made from chemical compounds which requires enormous amount of non- renewable energy sources. Comparing with the flax fabric, glass fibre mats are made from silica (SiO2) sand, which melts at 1720°C/3128°F. Glass fibre mat requires burning enormous of fossil fuel for producing heat, whereas flax fabric is extracted from the bast or the skin of linseed plant that grow inside stalks of the plants. Flax fabric is hydrophilic in nature, which by the mercerization process is converted to hydrophobic in nature. In Mercerization process fabric is treated with a caustic soda (NaOH) solution in water to improve properties such as fibre strength, shrink- age resistance, lustre, and dye affinity. The composites manufacturing process known as Hand layup involves laying down individual reinforced fabric of glass and flax separately and then wet with isophthalic resin (mixed with 2% of charcoal) by measuring the quantity by weighing. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis, provides evaluating of glass and flax reinforced composites for surface fractures, flaws, contaminants or corrosion. In order to check the flame resistance fire retardant test is done. Furthermore, mechanical test result showed the comparative values of tensile, impact and flexural strength of both the composites.

Authors: Omosebi Taiwo O, Noor Faisal Abas Feasibility and Durability of Interlocks (Paving stones) from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Paper Title: Wastes Abstract: Managing plastics waste is a global challenge that challenges the health of our ecosystem due to their high rate of production and non-biodegradability. However, it is important to handle PWs properly to curtail the environmental emissions associated with their incineration and dumping into landfills. The world's building industry is influenced by looking at the expense of construction materials and the required raw materials to manufacture them with the supporting climate that is rising at an unprecedented pace. The recycling of plastic waste into new useful building construction products will be a great advantage In this analysis, the shredded PET waste gathered from the recycling center was heated to 230 0C and used as a binder for the complete substitution of cement with a river sand aggregate for the manufacture of polymer interlocking / paving stones. The physical characteristics and mechanical performance of the aggregate materials and PET polymer concrete (including their distribution of particle size, silt , clay and dust content, relative stiffness, water absorption, porosity, flexural and compressive strength) were tested on various PET waste: 100%, 90%, 70%, 50% and 30% sand mixing percentages. The results showed that the produced interlocks from 30% PET and 70% river sand (3:7) achieved higher density, flexural, and compressive strength than the other combination percentages. The least 28. strength and porosity were exhibited by the polymer concrete produced with 100 % PET. The compressive strength of the PET polymer concrete produced with 30 % PET waste composition was higher than that of cement concrete at 28 days curing. Based on the test results, PET polymer concrete at 30 % PET replacement 159-165 can be used for interlocking tiles / paving stones due to its strength, low water absorption, and eco-friendliness, especially in water-logged areas. This prospect of interlocking tile production using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste and sand would not only minimise the cost of building production, but will only act as a waste diversion to mitigate environmental emissions caused by plastic waste disposal.

Paper Title: Effect of heat Transfer Through Arbitrary Shaped fins using Computational Fluid Dynamics Abstract: An automobile engine produces a lot of heat and is subjected to thermal stresses. These high temperatures and thermal stresses generated might causedistortions in the engine components and also reduces the volumetric efficiency of the engine. It is important to remove this heat generated to ensure the ideal functionality of the engine. In order to dissipate this heat out of the engine through convection, extended surfaces(fins) are used as a medium, projected to the engine walls. In the present analysis, arbitrary shaped fins of same surface area are designed and heat transfer analysis is performed. Using the ANSYS Fluent software the analysis is done. The main intent of our study is to increase the heat transfer rate using the arbitrary shaped fins. The results obtained are compared with the regular shaped solid fins. Results show there's a significant increase in heat transfer through the arbitrary shaped fins. The fin with elliptical hole has greater heat transfer rate than other models of fins used in the analysis.

The vulnerability of NDCT lies in its hyperbolic shell structure whereas the supporting columns play a pivotal role in load distribution and heat transfer mechanism. Throughout our study effort has been given to find out the behavior of Reinforced Concrete NDCT under static loading using two different types of support orientation. For enhanced accuracy finite element analysis method has been adopted. The geometry of NDCT has been created by strictly following IS code provisions. A detail analysis has been presented in terms of 33. deflection, stress propagation and strain behavior under gravity load. In the final stage a comparison of response behavior of the hyperbolic shell and supporting columns has been prepared with various key components of 188-193 stress strain behavior.

Paper Title: Orderings on Generalized Regular Interval Valued Fuzzy Matrices Abstract: In this paper, a special type of ordering for k - regular Interval Valued Fuzzy Matrix (IVFM) is introduced as a generalization of the minus partial ordering for regular fuzzy matrices. A set of equivalent conditions for a pair of k – regular IVFM to be under this ordering are obtained. We exhibit that this ordering is preserved under similarity relation.

Paper Title: Impact of Land Use Change Study on Reservoir’s Sediment Yield using SWAT Model Platform Abstract: The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of land use on reservoir’s sediment yield by applying Arc SWAT model interface with GIS and identify the vulnerable sub basin in Neshi dam watershed. Different input data were collected from different sources including Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Energy, and Ethiopia National Meteorological Agency. The study was done using historical records of nineteen years for Neshi Watershed. The calibrated flow and sediment for the 1992-2001 years gave R2 0.77, 0.92 and NES 0.64, 0.96, respectively. The validated flow and sediment for the 2002-2008 years gave R2 0.72, 0.93 and NES 0.75, 0.95, respectively.In this study the SWAT model yields average annual sediment load of 634.49, 516.82 and 542.56 ton/ha/yr for land use change of 1990, 2010 and 2017, respectively at Neshi outlet dam site. Therefore, the issue of land use change impact on sediment yield on reservoir as part of the integrated adaptation mitigation measures program in order to achieve sustainable development is very relevant. The output of this study can help planners, decision makers and other stakeholders to plan and implement appropriate soil and water conservation strategies.

Paper Title: Behavior of Steel Plate Girders with Deep Section under Dynamic Effect Abstract: Having a minimum mass, equal-sized flanges and no web stiffeners is the most economical plate girder to fabricate. As with rolled I-sections, for a given section modulus a section with a greater depth will have a lower mass than one with a smaller depth, except in some instances where a thicker web is required in the deeper section. A wider flange plate to resist the buckling tendency may be necessary to use, when the compression flange is laterally unrestrained, but this will add to the cost because of the more difficult assembly procedure. In order to arrive at a minimum-mass cross section as much as possible of the material should be located in the flanges and as little as possible in the web, consistent with shear requirements. There is usually an advantage, however, in using a somewhat thicker web in order to reduce welding distortion, or to avoid the use of or number of stiffeners. It can be shown that for a given web depth to thickness ratio the minimum-mass cross section is that in which the area of the two flanges combined equals that of the web, i.e. 2Af = Aw.An important consideration in cost reduction is the use of preferred plate widths and thicknesses for the flange and web 36. elements 207-209 Keywords: Steel Girders, Finite Element, ABAQUS software.

Paper Title: Inspection of Centrifugal Blower by Varying Different Blade Configuration using CFD Abstract: This examination points towards the advancement of an enhanced plan of a radiating blower comprising of different fan ribs, in light of execution appraisals looking like its inside parts. Different segments, for example, the outside cases and the turning fan ribs set in an assortment of working conditions, for example, fluctuating impeller speed and number of edges, are assessed mathematically and tentatively. Assessment depends on execution boundaries, including the delta and outlet pressures, stream rate, force, and intensity of the radial fan. The mathematical examination recommends that the blend of the different pivoting outline strategy and the standard k-ε disturbance model was suitable for recreation of the inside stream qualities and for power forecast. The mathematical outcomes were contrasted and tests under deliberately planned trial conditions. Plan and displaying of Impeller and packaging has been completed in CATIA V5R21 and then the Calculation was imported to Ansys 16.0. By differing the quantity of fan ribs, the exhibition fluctuates practically nothing. Nonetheless, the FC fan ribs display the best exhibition in regards to their stream rate reaction and are related with most reduced force. The weight at the exit is diminished as the stream rate is expanded. Among all the fans, 37. the FC fan would yield the most noteworthy stream rate. 210-214 Keywords: CFD, Impeller, k-ε, Torque, Pressure.

Paper Title: Multi- Response Optimization of Wire EDM Process Parameter on Aluminium Alloy (5086) Abstract: In the present work, the effect of process parameters on material removal rate during the machining of aluminium alloy (5086) with WEDM is studied. The four control parameter were selected i.e pulse on time (TON), pulse off time (TOFF), peak current (IP), and spark gap voltage (SV) to investigate their effects on material removal rate (MRR). Each control parameter had three levels. Total 27 experiments were done with a zinc coated brass wire of diameter 0.25 mm. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array technique was used for the experiment. ANOVA was used to find out the significance of control parameters and their contribution on MRR. It was found that maximum material removal rate was 41.52 mm3/min which was due to high pulse on time and low pulse off time.

Keywords: MRR, Process parameters, Taguchi technique, WEDM.

Paper Title: Automatic Pre-Processing of Marathi Text for Summarization Abstract: The text summarization is a technique where the original large text is condensed into smaller version without changing its abstract meaning. The text summarization is done on the common foreign and regional 40. languages typically, but infrequent work has been observed for the Marathi language. As the amount of e- contents on web is increasing drastically, the users are facing difficulty to read the newspaper articles with extraction of its different perspectives with sorting. We are focussing on educational, Political and sports news 230-234 for summarization, which will be helpful for students who are appearing for competitive exams. This paper explores the pre-processing techniques for Marathi e-news articles.

Keywords: Text summarization, POS tagging, Pre-processing, LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation), LNS (Label Induction Grouping), SVM (Support Vector Machine)

Paper Title: Classification of Evaluation Metrics for Project Baseline Schedules Abstract: The Evaluation of construction baseline schedules aims to provide a high-quality project schedule. However, obtaining a project schedule free from technical defects remains a challenge to construction planners and schedulers.The result of having a high-quality schedule is achieving the desired project completion dates and avoid any disputes between the construction project parties which may be present due to the technical defects of the schedule itself. Many organizations and consultants had developed some evaluations techniques for assessing 41. the baseline schedules from different prospects. The aim of this study is to classify and filter out the evaluation metrics and parameters of the project baseline schedule, in order to facilitate the schedule reviewing and 235-239 evaluating process. This is achieved by introducing a clear, arranged and classified evaluation metrics to let the schedule reviewerto list down all the schedule technical defects and convert them into clear comments in order to rectify them and having a schedule free of defects

Keywords: Baseline Evaluation, Baseline assessment, Schedule evaluation metrics.

Paper Title: Semantic Network Abstract: Knowledge representation is an emerging field of research in Artificial Intelligence, Big data analytics, Semantic web, and Data Mining. Knowledge represented in an effective way helps in easy traversal, searching, reasoning, prediction, and inference. There are number of approaches, algorithms, techniques, and models that have been proposed for the same. Every approach has their own pros and cons. Hence our aim is to propose a simple and extremely effective way to represent knowledge, which has a greater expressiveness compared to logic and reverberates within the methods of people process data. In this paper we address the implementation of semantics network with simple yet powerful method, which despite the vague nature of English language, proves to give accurate results. The patterns discovered in sentences are listed in a defined order throughout the paper. The usage of Natural Language Toolkit and Posing tagging simplifies the most crucial task of tagging a word with its part of speech.

Paper Title: Significant Contribution in Healthcare by using IoT Abstract: Nowadays, the heart-related disease is rapidly rising. Most patients, in some cases, may not identify their health condition. Even in rural areas, doctors are not available 24x7. Due to the advancement of modern technology, these diseases can be detected early and can be treated on time. So, the developed device can continuously track the patient's heartbeat and temperature, and the recorded data can be sent to the concerned doctor so that treatment can be provided to the patient. Here the IoT (Internet of Things) is being used for monitoring the patient's health status and send wirelessly to the IoT server. This device can also be monitored 45. from remote places. This device is mainly helpful for aged and disabled people who find it difficult to go to doctors daily or for patients who need continuous monitoring of their health status. The designed hardware will 259-264 capture the real-time heartrate and temperature value and send the data to the concern IoT server using any mobile or Wi-Fi network having with internet facility. Before sending the data the preprocessing is being done by the attached microcontroller in the respective sensors module. The value sent in the IoT server will be used for generating the online graph through the Application Program Interface (API) that are used in developing the web and mobile application. In this system the authenticated user can view the output trough developed mobile application web application.

Paper Title: Automatic Ratings Generation System for Behavior Analysis Abstract: User Behavior Analysis plays a pivotal role in finding the behavior of an individual regarding any certain business or social issue. It is helping a business to take an appropriate decision for improvementby understanding customers’ opinion about their products or services in a positive or negative way. Although there are many systems have been developed and implemented till date for performing behavior analysis in different ways; still better advancement is needed due to the nature of the data. In this paper, we have developed a system to generate automatic ratings based on the commentsgiven by the banking customers on social networking sites. These ratings then further analyzed to find out positive and negative behavior. PIG ETL tool on the top of MapReduce is used to develop and implement a proposed system and performing the analysis. AFINNsentiment lexicon is used to generate automatic ratings whereasvisualization is done using D3.js. Performance evaluation of the proposed system is done by comparing it with the existing system.

Keywords: Behavior Analysis, AFINN, Pig, Hadoop, MapReduce, D3.js, Positive and Negative Polarity.

Paper Title: Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Al 7075 Reinforced with SiC and TiC Particles Abstract: In the present industrial scenario, Aluminium and its alloy based composites have more importance in the growing fields of engineering. Aluminium reinforced metal matrix composites are broadly speaking desired because it has the excessive strenth along with less weight, hardness, corrosion resistance, fatigue and creep resistance. The Al composites are focused to use in aerospace, automobile and also in structural domain because it gives good strength with less weight. This paper discussed about the mechanical residences of Aluminium 7075 alloy strengthened with SiC and TiC. Stir casting process was utilized for fabrication of composites and composite specimens are subjected to tensile test by using Universal Testing Machine. The composite hardness was tested by using Brinell hardness tester and the Charpy impact tester used for findings the impact strength. An experimental results are compared with unreinforced alloy of Al 7075. Micro structural characterization confirms the particles of reinforcement are distributed to the entire structure of matrix. The experimental result shows the mechanical properties slightly increased by varying wt% of reinforcements in the matrix material. The better tensile strength (252MPa), hardness (83HB) and impact strength (4.6 Joules) is 49. obtained by the composition of 60% wt of Al 7075, 20% wt of TiC and 20 %wt of SiC. 287-290 Keywords: Al 7075, Hardness, SiC and Stir Casting.

Remote sensing that has been corrected geometrically and radio-metrically is analyzed by using decision tree analysis to derive information on paddy/rice and non-rice field land use and which is reclassified by using field unit information based on field observations which will result in accuracy of use and producer. The rice field data is then processed to derive information on the rotation pattern of rice by using a decision tree analysis that is using input data on land characteristics which will produce total accuracy. Information on rice field area and rotation patterns are complemented by land productivity (tons / ha) sourced from BPS (Central Statistics Agency) data and interviews with land cultivators and local residents (farmers) were used to calculate the total rice production value on dry-milled rice The results of calculations by using this method are expected to have a fairly large 50. surplus of calculations, both data from BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics) and data from interviews with land cultivators and local residents (farmers). Thus, these results are expected to show that the land suitability 291-295 approach by using remote sensing methods for estimating rice production can be used to produce information on rice field area and rotation patterns with moderate to high accuracy.

Keywords: Rice production, land suitability, decision tree, remote sensing, Merauke Papua.

Paper Title: Investigation of the Accumulation of Greenhouse Gases in Terms of Road Traffic Gradients Abstract: This research reflects on the impacts of traffic factors, car acceleration, volume of traffic, road gradient and the resulting sum of air pollutants, with a significant impact on the emissions of the vehicles. The general and detailed urban plans are normally addressed to these factors. Such considerations usually determine the adverse effects of motor vehicles, and environmental hazards, such as air pollution and vibration, which affects highways and bridges. However, the effect of road transport and preparation on the ecosystem is described. The research focuses on climate aspects that can be identified and designed so that all generic proposals can include them. In this study, CO, NO2, TVOC’s and SO2 concentration at multiple sampling sites were screened regularly. The study revealed that air pollutant rates are highly correlated with traffic movement and prevailing gradients. The SO2, NO2, CO and TVOC’s concentrations were very much associated to significant road flow parameters such as traffic elevation, intensity and amount of transport.

Keywords: transport, emission, pollutant, gradient, speed, traffic volume, road gradient

Paper Title: Strength Assessment of wedges in the Splice Zone of the Column Abstract: Splice zone is the lower base of cross-section and a part of column which is also known as lower hinge zone. It is the weaker part of the column so additional reinforcement should be required every time in case of regular pad footing. The presented research provides a way of strengthening the reinforced concrete column by applying wedges at the splice zone. The work is focused on the base cross-section of an isolated footing against deflection, stresses, bending moment, etc. By implementing the proposed work, we can avoid critical damage at the base cross-section of the column & it also provides more stability, thus make splice zone stronger than earlier to withstand the resistance. The two sets of footings are considered in which one is regular pad footing & the other is pad footing strengthened by applying wedges in the splice zone. Both of them are tested under constant axial load and moment. The static structural analysis is done by using finite element analysis in ANSYS 2016 software. Further we will observe the deflection, stresses & also the overall effects of applying wedges with multiple height & size at the splice zone of the column.

Keywords: ANSYS, Base cross-section, bending moment, Finite element analysis, isolated footing, splice zone, wedge etc

The traditional classroom method of teaching no longer fulfills all teaching outcomes. A blended teaching methodology, involving the traditional system and the addition of e-learning through the application of Learning Management Systems (LMS), provides newer opportunities to achieving the expected learning outcomes. The functionality of these systems must be studied and analyzed for proper application. This study compared the faculty experience and perception of using two of the most widely used LMS, namely Blackboard and Moodle. The results of the survey revealed that these systems help to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning and increase student-staff interaction. The analysis concludes that the Blackboard system of e- learning by LMS is widely preferred.

Authors: Satyasundar Mallick, Monideepa Roy A Comparative Study of Weather Forecasting Simulation Models through Sensors for Accurate Paper Title: Monsoon Predictions in the Indian Ocean Abstract: When Monsoon depressions form over the seas, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides humidity and high-horizontal resolution temperature details about the depressions. These high-resolution satellite data related to temperature and humidity can improve the poor predicting rate of depressions [1]. Using three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) and with the help of humidity profiles along with MODIS temperature. We can achieve an advanced prospect of detection and a larger value of (ETS) equitable threat score observed over 48 hours collected precipitation with respect to the control run. The 55. 3DVAR assimilation of Doppler Weather Radar wind data associated with Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) surface data and upper air data helped in the improvements in the simulation of strong gradients 321-326 associated with horizontal wind speed ,higher warm core temperature , high vertical velocity & better precipitation and spatial distribution.[2]. The effect of Spectral sensor microwave imager (SSM/I), humidity profiles, use of Advanced TIROS Vertical Sounder (ATOVS) temperature and total precipitable water (TPW) helped in improving the ‘‘forecast impact’’ parameters of ‘‘bias score’’ and ‘‘equitable threat score’’ with respect to the assimilation of satellite observation[3]. In this paper we have discussed a comparative study of different proposed techniques to analyze its effects in improving the low prediction rates of depressions.

Paper Title: Reference Evapotranspiration Prediction for Smart Irrigation Abstract: Irrigation is the most critical process for agriculture, but irrigation is the largest consumer of fresh water and causes the loss of large quantities because of the inaccuracy in crop water estimation. Our proposed system aims to improve irrigation management by estimating the amount of water needed by the crop accurately and reduces the number of meteorological parameters needed for such estimation. Detection of the reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) is the most critical process in crop water estimation, that is considered through our proposed solution by implementing machine learning models using neural networks and linear regression to predict daily ETo using climate data like temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. Comparing our system results with FAO-56 Penman-Monteith ET0 and cropwat8.0 software as benchmark, show that our proposed system is better than the linear regression model, in terms of determination coefficient (R^2)=.9677 and root mean square error(RMSE) =.1809, while the multiple linear regression model achieved determination coefficient (R^2)=.68 and root mean square error(RMSE) =3.01. Our system then used the predicted ETo and Crop coefficient (Kc) from FAO, to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ETc) for precision irrigation target.

Paper Title: Automatic Sign Language Gesture Recognition using Prewitt & Morphological Dilation 57. Abstract: Sign languages have their own linguistic structure, grammar and characteristics, and are independent of the rules that govern spoken languages. They are visual languages that rely on hand gestures as well as on 334-339 bodily and facial expressions. Sign languages in different countries are vastly different from one another, so enabling easy communication is important: not just to break the barrier between hearing and deaf individuals, but also between people who do not sign in the same language. In India, sign language plays an important role in the field of communication among dumb and deaf people. There are different signs associated for communication in every country as per their convenient gestures. Automatic sign language gesture recognition is an approach for recognizing gestures and converts it to its actual meaning and convey either through speech or text as per requirements. Here the system is based on Prewitt Edge Detection that possesses the gestures of sign language and helps to recognize and assign their meanings. The Prewitt is second order derivative that has been used in image processing and computer vision, in the form of edge detection or extraction algorithms where it creates gradient of horizontal and vertical magnitude. System also uses certain pre-processing filtration technique such as morphological dilation for better feature extraction

Keywords: Sign Language Recognition, Prewitt Edge Detection, Morphological Operation, Dilation, Gesture Recognition.

Generally, the parking is provided in the basement of the buildings or open to the sky, based on the availability of space. But there are some cases due to the high cost of land, it is not possible to provide an open space 340-345 parking facility. On the other hand, parking facilities are very critical in metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, etc. Due to the high number of vehicles on the roads. In some places due to the non- availability of the parking, the people had to face issue in their day to day work and some times had to pay fine for illegal parking. In this project, the crisis of the parking facilities is kept in mind and relative research is done to check whether it can be adapted in the cities of India or not to minimize the issues. And also the analysis of structures is done to check the stability of the structures.

In many such cases, these areas do not have their power requirements through the main grid supply and entire power requirement of the deployment is supplied by diesel generators. These diesel generators have high environmental impact due to emission of greenhouse gases and are highly uneconomical as logistic sustenance of remote bases for supply of fuel is very challenging, Fossil fuel has to be supplied by vehicles, helicopters, boats or manually carried to hill tops. This increases the overall cost of deploying armed forces in remote areas. In recent years with the advancements in power electronic components 60. and renewable energy, development in Microgrids (MGs) have shown a way to reduce dependency on main power grids. Hence, with the help of MGs, renewable energy can be used to fulfill power requirements of the 350-358 armed forces deployed in remote places. In this work, a MG with capacity of 1MW has been designed keeping the special needs of armed forces as a major consideration. Solar power has been used as a primary renewable energy source in the proposed design. In order to mitigate the adverse effects of meteorological and extreme conditions on the solar power generation capacity, energy storage system in the form of batteries has also been provided. Batteries store power when excess power is generated from the photo voltaic (PV) system and discharge the power when power demand is higher than the PV generated power. Diesel generator sets have also been used to run critical loads, provide reliability and as backup to critical operations catering for outages, night time needs and un-expected meteorological conditions. MATLAB has been used to design and simulate the proposed MG. Working of the MG has also been demonstrated for varying meteorological and varying load conditions as well. The proposed design works satisfactory in all cases.

Paper Title: Optimization of Inventory Model-Cost Parameters, Inventory and Lot Size as Fuzzy Numbers Abstract: In general, the demand rate and the unit cost of the items remains constant inspite of lot size in inventory models. But in reality, the demand rate and the unit cost of the items are connected together. In this research, demand dependent unit cost inventory model is considered where different cost parameters, maximum inventory and the lot size of the model are taken under fuzzy environment. First an analytic solution of the crisp model is obtained by the method of calculus where the inventory parameters are exact and deterministic. Later, the problem is developed with fuzzy parameters where inaccuracy has been introduced through triangular membership function.Then the defuzzification of the model is done by using the method of Graded mean integration. An optimal solution is obtained using Karush Kuhn-Tucker conditions approach. An illustrative model is done and an analysis of total cost for different measures of possibility are performed and tabulated

Paper Title: Smart Farm Assist Robot Abstract: Autonomy in agriculture is the need of the hour in today’s world. Advancements in technology have made it possible to design autonomous systems that carry out their intended operations efficiently, without any human intervention. However, most farmers still carry out agricultural operations manually using simple and conventional tools like a wooden plough, sickle, etc. Large-scale mechanization and autonomous systems are affordable only by medium and large class farmers who possess more than 2.00 hectares of agricultural land. Marginal and small-class farmers find it difficult in managing the workforce at an affordable cost. A user- friendly cost-effective approach will be a valuable support system for this sector. This paper proposes a novel design of a seed sowing robot with two operating modes; manual control by the operator and remote operation through GPS. The proposed seed sowing bot extracts the features of the agricultural field under consideration and adopts the optimal speed for seed sowing. Parameters like temperature, humidity, and soil moisture, which are pivotal in carrying out agricultural operations are measured by the use of different sensors embedded in the robot. Arduino ATMEGA2560 controls the locomotion of the bot and Raspberry Pi is used for image classification and obstacle detection. Sunset and the presence of rain are detected and the corresponding feasible actions are programmed to be followed by the robot automatically. A user-friendly mobile application has been developed to issue commands to the robot. The robot intends to reduce human efforts and provide intelligent aid to marginal and small class farmers while being affordable

Alagappan Performance Analysis of 6063 Aluminium Alloy Semi-Circular Two Phase Closed Thermosyphon Paper Title: Tpct using Fe3o4 and Graphene Nano-Fluid Abstract: Nanofluids stability on rest is important to characterize the nanofluids thermophysical properties before being used on different thermal systems. However, this stability can be modified during devices operation because of different thermal loads, fluid movements and phase changes. Particularly, in Two Phase Closed- Thermosyphon (TPCT). Input response are heat input, flow rate and inclination angle. Graphene and fe304 nanofluids used as working fluid in the fill ratio of 50%. An attempt is made to optimise the process parameters with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using Box - Behnken design for 6063 aluminium alloy (AA) semi- circular two phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT). Experiments are conducted by varying the mass flow rates of water at condenser section and by varying the heat input at evaporator section and varying inclination angle. The effects of variables on the process parameters are studied. The study, predominantly, aims at assessing how the variables affect the process parameters.

Keywords: Particularly, in Two Phase Closed-Thermosyphon (TPCT).

Paper Title: Managing the Triangular Bond of the EBP for SQU Students Through the Proposed Test Model Abstract: Smart city technologies are becoming dominant. One of the important pillars of a smart city is education. All citizens are learners in the smart city. To fulfill goals of a smart city, supported technology should be boosted. As a result of incorporation with the growing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) along with software and hardware, learning environments have undergone numerous changes. Students and strategies represent the center point while adopting the online learning environment. This paper highlights important issues to shape electronic education. It considers Moodle-LMS to figure out the triangular relationship between the engagement, behavior and performance (EBP) of Sultan Qaboos Uinversity (SQU) students in any course. Moodle collects students’ information and generates students’ profiles. Researchers could analyze students’ profiles to findout relationships between different attributes (i.e. EBP). This could guide instructors to know how engagement and behavior could be used as an indication to improve students’ overall performance. This paper aims to suggest a test model intended to guide instructors to prepare personalized materials that suit individual students needs and overcome their deficiency towards a better performance. Another objective is to integrate the proposed model within Moodle environment. This paper uses data of 14 students from a fully online course at SQU. This is used to explore whether patterns of student engagement and behavior are correlated with student performance. Findings reveal the existence of a positive relationship between EBP attributes. Authors recommend instructors to use students’ results to recognize students who need additional support in a specific course.

Paper Title: Sarcasm Detection of Sentiments in Telugu Language Abstract: Sarcasm is usually used by people to either tease/irritate others or simply for comic purposes. The presence of sarcasm becomes certain as it is difficult to be identified by basic sentiment analysis method. Sarcasm detection is addressed with various rule-based methods, statistical approaches, and classifiers in machine learning , most of these are introduced to identify sarcasm in text written in English as it is a popular language on the internet. Although the groundwork done on sarcasm detection on various Indian languages like Telugu is limited. Hence, this paper presents a Deep learning model based on neural networks to detect sarcasm in Telugu news headlines taken from various websites . The proposed model comprises of Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) and next a Long short-term memory(LSTM) Network which is a modified version of Recurrent neural networks (RNN) and lastly a fully connected dense layer is added to classify the sentiments into sarcastic and non-sarcastic. A pre-trained word embeddings GloVe are used in the model

Keywords: Convolutional Neural Networks, Deep learning, Long-short term memory, Sarcasm.

Authors: Subramanya K, M S Nagaraj Optimization of Demand Side Management and DG Placement in the Distribution System with Paper Title: Demand Response Abstract: In the distribution system, Distribution Generation (DG) plays an vital role and by optimizing the DG 69. the performance and efficiency is improved in the distribution system network. Demand Side Management (DSM) deals with this process of optimizing the DGs in a network. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed 407-414 for optimal DSM including the demand response and DG units. The optimal capacity and location of the DGs to be connected in the network are selected using real and reactive power loss and voltage profile. The environmental conditions and economic operation of the system is ensured by optimizing the daily performance of the multiple DG units and grid parameters with and without inclusion of demand response. A non dominated sorting firefly algorithm is used to obtain optimization of the functions and decision making fuzzy system is used to decide the best possible scenario from the list of optimized solutions. It is tested with IEEE 33 bus system. The validity of the proposed DSM methodology is verified with the simulation results.

Keywords: Demand side management, Distributed Generation, Demand Response, Non dominated Sorting Firefly Algorithm, fuzzy decision making.

Paper Title: A Modified Fused Floating Point Three Term Adder Abstract: This paper is about a modified architecture for a fused floating point three term adder. The important feature of a fused floating-point three-term adder is its ability to do multiple additions in same block to get better performance as well as accuracy compared to a conventional discrete floating point adder. The parallel prefix adder is one amongst the fastest adders and out of which the han-carlson adder represents a blend of the kogge- stone adders and brent-kung adder. In this work, han carlson adder is used to enhance the performance of the three term adder along with various optimization techniques. The adder is implemented using Verilog language in Xilinx ISE Design suite 14.2 and all Simulations are carried out in Isim simulator. Synthesis is done using Cadencetool.

Paper Title: Global Word Sense Disambiguation of Polysemous Words in Telugu Language Abstract: Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is a significant issue in Natural Language Processing (NLP). WSD refers to the capacity of recognizing the correct sense of a word in a given context. It can improve numerous NLP applications such as machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, or sentiment analysis. This paper proposes an approach named ShotgunWSD. Shotgun WSD is an unsupervised and knowledge-based algorithm for global word sense disambiguation. The algorithm is motivated by the Shotgun sequencing technique. Shotgun WSD is proposed to disambiguate the word senses of Telugu document with three functional phases. The Shotgun WSD achieves the better performance than other approaches of WSD in the disambiguating sense of ambiguous words in Telugu documents. The dataset is used in the Indo-WordNet.

Keywords: shotgun sequencing, Word sense disambiguation, Word embedding, Telugu.

Mansy, Mahmoud Elshaabany, Manar Eltantawie, Eid Ouda Evaluation of Vibration Characteristics and Theoretical Analysis for In-Wheel Driving Electric Paper Title: Road Vehicle Abstract: Hub-motor driven electric vehicles consider the upcoming technology in the vehicle industry. It has several merits such as lightweight, good accelerator responsiveness, flexibility when designing different drivetrains, operated at most operative efficiency points, and increased space-saving compared with the traditional electric vehicle driven by a central motor. The energy demand around the world is increasing dramatically. So, the researchers seek to find alternatives to the non-renewable resources represented by fossil fuels. Electric vehicles are the most suitable vehicle to avail of this type of energy due to their high efficiency 72. and zero fuel consumption and emission. The electric-powered vehicle is distinctive with low noise and vibration which improves the vibration characteristics compared with internal combustion engine vehicles. In this paper, eight degrees of freedom passive quarter car suspension system of an in-wheel drive powered electric 426-432 vehicle equipped with a battery/ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage system is studied and analyzed. The system was simulated and tested in both time and frequency domains via the MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Paper Title: Design and Development of Chilli Seeder Abstract: India is the second-largest producer of chilli in the world. The seeds of chilli, capsicum etc. are commonly sown and developed in nurseries using plug tray for better germination. Then grown plants sent to farmland for further cultivation. It was observed that the process of sowing seeds in plug tray require more time because the seed are small and one has to drop it manually. Moreover, this is tedious work and the owner have to pay high for this. So, objective of the study was to evolve a Plug Tray Seeder which were affordable to nursery owners. Which work on pneumatic principle. It was designed in such manner that it has higher seedling rate and less power consumption. In addition, it should also reduce human effort and labour cost. The capacity of seeder, is assumed, depending on the tray size used which range between 27000 and 46800 cell per hour. The total cost of the precision plug seeder is estimated to be ₹17800 (US$242).

Paper Title: A Knowledge Based Word Sense Disambiguation in Telugu Language Abstract: Telugu (遆졁屁) is one of the Dravidian languages which are morphologically rich. As within the other languages, it too consists of ambiguous words/phrases which have one-of-a-kind meanings in special contexts. Such words are referred as polysemous words i.e. words having a couple of experiences. A Knowledge based approach is proposed for disambiguating Telugu polysemous phrases using the computational linguistics tool, IndoWordNet. The task of WSD (Word sense disambiguation) requires finding out the similarity among the target phrase and the nearby phrase. In this approach, the similarity is calculated either by means of locating out the range of similar phrases (intersection) between the glosses (definition) of the target and nearby words or by way of finding out the exact occurrence of the nearby phrase's sense in the hierarchy (hypernyms/hyponyms) of the target phrase's senses. The above parameters are changed by using the intersection use of not simplest the glosses but also by using which include the related words. Additionally, it is a third parameter 'distance' which measures the distance among the target and nearby phrases. The proposed method makes use of greater parameters for calculating similarity. It scores the senses based on the general impact of parameters i.e. intersection, hierarchy and distance, after which chooses the sense with the best score. The correct meaning of Telugu polysemous phrase could be identified with this technique.

Keywords: Natural Language Processing (NLP), Polysemous, IndoWordNet, Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), Intersection, Hierarchy, Senses, Distance measure.

Paper Title: Prediction of the Purchase Intention of Users on E-Commerce Platforms using Gradient Boosting Abstract: In this paper, we propose a system that is able to forecast the purchase intention of users visiting e- commerce platforms from data collected as they browse on these websites. We use the Online Shoppers Purchasing Intention Dataset available at the University of California Irvine Machine Learning Repository. Thanks to some feature engineering methods, we deeply study the correlation between the various information. We also derive new information / features from the dataset by inference. The most relevant data is fed to gradient boosting, artificial neural networks and other algorithms in order to forecast whether or not a user 76. intends to make a purchase. We evaluate the performances with the precision metric and the F1-Score. The experiments show that our gradient boosting model performs better than the state-of-the-art models thanks to the 446-450 new features used. This also confirms that, in addition to being interpretable, some classic machine learning models such as gradient boosting can be very competitive compared to neural networks. This system thus conceived can allow e-commerce platforms to identify users intending to make a purchase. This gives them the possibility of offering personalized solutions to their potential customers in order to better attract them and guarantee their purchase, which will imply increased sales and better customer satisfaction.

Keywords: e-commerce, feature engineering, gradient boosting, machine learning.

Paper Title: An Efficient Functionality Learning Image Compression by Ift Technique Abstract: Image compression is the course towards apportioning an image into different size as adaptable for the customer to proceed , recollecting a definitive goal to change the depiction of a photo into something that is more fundamental and less referencing to survey. Value learning has been done in the zone of image compression. Since, most of the compression cycle just depends upon quality images. In Image compression, the quality of image is more important than other fields.This paper follows the regular Image picture division as a depiction issue and joins handiness getting the hang of recollecting as extreme goal to help the client from picking where to give sharp information. Explicitly part, our proposed structure overviews a surrendered division by building a "dubiousness field" over the image area thinking about cut-off, normal, flawlessness and entry terms. The client can continue managing the rule of the information on the solicitation plane, in this manner current giving extra preparing information where the classifier has the base conviction. Our strategy portrayals against capricious plane confirmation demonstrating a normal DSC [Dice similarity coefficient] change of 19% in the hidden five plane proposals (pack questions).

Paper Title: A Low Cost & Efficient Robotic Spraying Machine Abstract: It is well known fact that India is an agricultural country.It is considered as the lifeline of our Country since it provides the most employment and profit to the nation. But the current state of agriculture in India is not is not upto the mark. The farmers and other agriculture related people are suffering a lot. Considering the problems which are faced by the farmers in the agriculture industry which includes physical strains on the body we as engineers need to design a solution to this. We have seen that due to pesticide spraying the farmers face lot of physical as well as respiratory problems. Our solution to this problem includes designing a machine which helps to reduce manual work of farmers and save them from respiratory problems. The machine is a cost effective solution to help the farmers and can be used even by small scale farmers. Thus, this robotic spraying machine will be of great use. There are various pesticide sprayers available in the market. These spraying techniques are very tediousand time consuming. Purpose is to make an affordable pesticide spraying machine to boost the income of farmers the productivity of crops must be increased. Hence the design tries to improve the pesticide spraying techniques. Through this paper, a real life solution to link agriculture with technology in order to reduce human efforts & boost up the total output is suggested. This paper aims at 78. explaining the working ofa low cost & efficient robotic spraying machine that would be operated by the farmer through remote so that thefarmer is not in direct contact with harmful pesticides. On the command from the remote the spraying action will be controlled. The pesticide sprayer would operate with minimal pollution. The 456-459 model includes 2 nozzles for spraying purpose along with a DC pump which will help inthe total flow of liquid so that constant spraying will occur.

79. Paper Title: Redefining the theory of Engineering for Relevance in the 21st Centuryin Africa Abstract: Academia and professionals’ attention has been drawn towards redefining theory of engineering for 460-467 relevance in the 21st century. This has become an imperative as it has brought changes in engineering courses, and yet engineering curriculum have not been modified to accommodate these changes. With increased intellectual demand for ground-breaking engineering performance in Africa, African engineering institutions are still lagging behind as they are yet to meet up with the 21st century needs; hence the crux of this paper. This paper was guided by Jean Piaget’s constructivism learning theory, focusing on individual’s understanding and knowledge, rooted on one’s experience erstwhile to learning setting. This paper takes a broad look at the overall investigation of redefining the theory of engineering for relevance in 21st century in Africa. The specific objectives explore the principles of theory of engineering as well as its applicability and to examine how theory of engineering can be improved for contextual relevance, as well as its implications for 21st centuryengineering curriculum. Thus, to address this gaps, recommendations on redefinition and relevance of theory of engineering pertaining to curriculum revision and providing adequate staff development for engineering educators with intellectual capacityand skill improvement were recommended.

Paper Title: MIMO Based Cognitive Radio Network with Efficient Spectrum Utilization Abstract: This paper presents an energy-efficient power control scheme for Multi-Input–Multi-Output (MIMO) based multi-channel cognitive radio networks (CRNs) with adaptive mode selection protocol. Cognitive radio device operates in the temporal domain to utilize spectrum holes and MIMO system operates in the spatial domain. Thus CRN in collaboration with MIMO can produce a significant improvisation for spectrum utilization, and therefore, the integration of MIMO and CRN has received widespread research interest. To address the challenges of the collaboration of MIMO and CRN, we propose a MIMO based CRN network in this paper, in which basic CRN is modified with the QPSK transmission technique having four antenna elements per primary users (PU) and secondary users (SU). Similarly, MIMO significantly improves channel capacity particularly in SU transmission under low SNR condition, but issues like several antenna elements and specific antenna selection issues increase the computational complexity and energy consumption. The proposed network protocol strives to improve communication stability and rate of throughput via selecting the MIMO operating parameters such as multiplexing, diversity, or hybrid multiplexing-diversity gains. Specifically, we designed transmission power distribution along with an antenna selection scheme for enhancing the energy efficiency of CRN’s under the influence of the maximum interference caused by the SU to PU, utmost power transmission from SU, and the least rate of transmission through the SU link. Finally, the simulation results are compared with basic CRN alone using the BPSK scheme to evaluate and validate the proposed scheme.

Keywords: Multi-input–multi-output system, cognitive radio networks, primary users, secondary users and 80. transmission power allocation.
