Authors: Vipin Kumar, Himadri Chauhan, Dheeraj Panwar Paper Title: K-Means Clustering Approach to Analyze NSL-KDD Intrusion Detection Dataset Abstract: Clustering is the most acceptable technique to analyze the raw data. Clustering can help detect intrusions when our training data is unlabeled, as well as for detecting new and unknown types of intrusions. In this paper we are trying to analyze the NSL-KDD dataset using Simple K-Means clustering algorithm. We tried to cluster the dataset into normal and four of the major attack categories i.e. DoS, Probe, R2L, U2R. Experiments are performed in WEKA environment. Results are verified and validated using test dataset. Our main objective is to provide the complete analysis of NSL-KDD intrusion detection dataset.

Keywords: Clustering, K-means, NSL-KDD Dataset, WEKA.

But when they are needed to be converted into electronic form, it has to be done through scanning. One of the major problems in this field is that if the document to be read is not placed at 900. This will result with a skewed image. Skew refers to the text which neither parallel nor at right angles to a specified or implied line. Character recognition is very sensitive to the page skew, skew detection and correction in document images are the critical 2. steps before ayout analysis. To achieve the objective of Skew detection and correction, a new improved strategy is proposed which uses the Fourier transformation and angle of elevation theory to detect the skewness 5-7 angle first and then skew correction algorithm will come in action. As Fourier transform will speed up the algorithm so speed no longer is an issue for proposed algorithm. Also angle of elevation theory has ability to detect angle in efficient manner. Proposed algorithm is designed and implemented in Matrix Laboratory by taking a sample of 120 different Skewed images. These images include documents having different languages: - English, Hindi, Punjabi and Pictures.

Keywords: Skew detection, Fast Fourier transform, Discrete Fourier transform, Radon transform, Moments.

As credit card becomes the most popular mode of payment for both online as well as normal purchase, cases of credit card fraud also rising. Financial fraud is increasing significantly with the development of modern technology and the global superhighways of communication, resulting in the loss of billions of dollars worldwide each year. The fraudulent transactions are scattered with genuine transactions and simple pattern matching techniques are not often sufficient to detect those frauds accurately. Implementation of efficient fraud detection systems has thus become imperative for all credit card issuing banks to minimize their losses. Many modern techniques were proposed & implemented in literature, they have their own advantages and disadvantages. We proposed hybrid approach used in credit card fraud detection mechanism.

Jakhar CBR Traffic Based Performance Investigations of DSDV, DSR and AODV Routing Protocols for Paper Title: MANET Using NS2 Abstract: A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links to form an arbitrary topology without the use of existing infrastructure. This paper does the comparative investigations on the performance of routing protocols Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On demand distance vector (AODV) and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV) for wireless ad-hoc networks in a simulated environment against varying parameters considering UDP as transport protocol and CBR as traffic generator. In this paper, we have studied the effects of varying node mobility rate, scalability and maximum speed on the performance of ad-hoc network routing protocols. Simulation results indicate that despite in most 4. simulations reactive routing protocols DSR and AODV performed significantly better than proactive routing protocol DSDV, DSR is less scalable with respect to network size because DSR introduces high overheads with the 12-16 increase in network size. Simulations presented clearly show that there is a need for routing protocol specifically tuned to the characteristics of ad-hoc networks.

Authors: Eliza Gail Maxwell, Tripti C A Comparison between Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization and Gabor Filter Sclera Paper Title: Blood Vessel Enhancement Techniques Abstract: The importance of the human sclera lies in the uniqueness of the blood vessel structure which can be easily obtained non-intrusively in visible wavelengths. The unique and persistent characteristic of the sclera vessel patterns makes it a suitable candidate for human identification (ID). The proper segmentation of the sclera region and obtaining the sclera vessel patterns are the main problems that this biometric has to deal with. Images of sclera vessel patterns are often defocused or blurry and, most importantly, the vessel structure in the sclera is multilayered and has complex nonlinear deformations. This paper compares two sclera vessel enhancement methods. The first method uses a contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization with region growing technique. The other technique uses a directional Gabor filter bank to enhance the sclera veins. Experimental results showed that the Gabor filter-enhancement method yields faster and better results as compared to the histogram equalization and region growing method.

Keywords: Gabor filter, histogram, region-growing, sclera vessel pattern.

So in this paper we apply web mining to the web site pages in order to benefit from the redundant data that appears in the most pages in the website to decrease the memory size needed to save these pages in each web site alone. The web mining applied by extracting the matched data between the website pages and the home page or the index page then discharges it (the matched data), but the difference data is saved in the server’s memory until the page is accessed. After the page is requested by any user, combination 7. applied between the index page file and the difference file for viewing the page on the browser. 26-29 Keywords: Pages, data

It brings us great convenience and a big headache about software reliability as well: Software is never bug-free, and software bugs keep incurring monetary loss or even catastrophes. In the pursuit of better reliability, software engineering researchers found that huge amount of data in various forms can be collected from software systems, and these data, when properly analyzed, can help improve software reliability. Unfortunately, the huge volume of complex data renders simple analysis techniques incompetent; consequently, Studies have been resorting to data mining for more effective analysis. In the past few years, we have witnessed many studies on mining for software reliability reported in data mining as well as software engineering forums. These studies either develop new or apply existing data mining techniques to tackle reliability problems from different angles. In order to keep data mining researchers abreast of the latest development in this growing research area, we propose this Paper on mining for software reliability.

Authors: Vipin Kumar, Gopal Pathak, C.B.Gupta A Deterministic Inventory Model for Deterioraing Items with Selling Price Dependent Demand and Paper Title: Parabolic Time Varying Holding Cost under Trade Credit Abstract: In the present study, we have developed a deterministic inventory model for deteriorating environment under the price dependent demand with parabolic time varying holding cost and trade credit. Supplier offers a credit limit to the customer and during that span of time no interest is charged, but after the expiry of the specified time limit, the supplier will charge some interest. The customer has the reserve capital to make the payments at the beginning, but however, he decides to take the advantage of the credit limit facility provided by the supplier. This study has main focus to establish the mathematical model for an inventory system under the above conditions. At the end of the paper, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the problem and sensitivity analyses have been carried out for showing the effect of variation in the parameters. Mathematical subject classification: 90B05

Kishore, M.R.S.Satyanarayana, K.Sujatha Paper Title: Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization with Neural Network for Machinery Fault Detection Abstract: Rotating machines are one of the most important elements in almost all the industries and continuous condition monitoring of these crucial parts is essential for preventing early failure, production line breakdown, improving plant safety, efficiency and reliability. Faults may also be developed over a long period of time or even suddenly. However manual fault detection techniques are error prone. This paper identifies and utilizes the distribution information of the population to estimate the evolutionary states. Based on the states, Adaptive control strategies are developed for the inertia weight and acceleration coefficients for faster convergence speed. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is thus systematically extended to Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO), so as to bring about outstanding performance when solving global optimization problems. This paper proposes an adaptive particle swarm optimization with adaptive parameters. Adaptive control strategies are developed for the inertia weight and acceleration coefficients for faster convergence speed.

Mallikarjuna Swamy Paper Title: Detection of Tuberculosis Bacilli using Image Processing Techniques Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major diseases in developing countries. TB detection is based on sputum examination microscopically by using Ziehl-Neelsen stain (ZN-stain) method, which is used worldwide. This method needs human expertise and intensive examination. The availability of expertise, time and cost are the constraints of the human intervention based examinations. Therefore, there is a need of automation of examination and detection of TB bacteria using digital image of ZN-stain sample. In this work, an algorithm based on image 12. processing is developed for identification of TB bacteria in sputum. The method is based on Otsu thresholding and k-means clustering approach. The performance of clustering and thresholding algorithms for segmenting TB bacilli 47-51 in tissue sections is compared. The developed automated technique shows good accuracy and efficiency.

These rules are defined according to aircraft configuration, MEL/CDL items, Turn Procedures, Airport and Obstacle Database and Weather Conditions. In this study, a general database is created to include all kinds of aircraft, airport information and rules effecting aircraft performance. The rules include aircraft configuration, MEL/CDL items and external conditions. Rules can be simple or complex in such a way that composite conditions can be used all together and simple rules can be combined in a complex rule. This study is different from other studies in that all aircraft types can be combined in a single server based database systems and rule checking process is very dynamic and flexible. This server database can be extended to create national or international aircraft and airport information system in the future. Besides the advantages of operational safety resulting from making point calculation instead of conventional calculations, with the implementation of this system fuel conservation, emissions of CO2 decrement, aircraft engine health management are achieved.

Razani Paper Title: Performance Analysis of QoS Aware Distributed Schemes over a Ring- based EPON Architecture 16. Abstract: In this work, we introduce decentralized Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) schemes capable of supporting upstream Quality of Service (QoS) through differentiated class of service (CoS). In contrast to the 67-75 centralized approach, the proposed QoS aware distributed DBA supports differentiated services through the integration of both scheduling mechanisms (intra-ONU and inter-ONU) at the Optical Network Unit (ONU). This integration of both scheduling can only be supported by a decentralized architecture. We demonstrate, in addition to the added flexibility and reliability, that the distributed approach has characteristics that make it far better suited than its centralized counterpart for provisioning QoS necessary for properly handling voice, video, and data services over a single line.

Random Early Detection [RED] is widely used AQM mechanism detecting and avoiding the incipient congestion. The detection of congestion is based on priori estimation of congestion and calculation of average queue length and RED queue parameter settings. This paper describes the research work done in recent and new mechanism to estimates the network congestion and avoiding them, so that network performance will improve. Our goal in this paper is to achieve high throughput and low end to end delay in congested network.

Paper Title: Comparison of LSB Steganography in GIF and BMP Images Abstract: Data encryption is not the only safe way to protect data from penetration given the tremendous development in the information age particularly in the field of speed of the processors and the cryptanalysis. In some cases, we need new technologies or methods to protect our secret data. There has emerged a set of new technologies that provides protection with or without data encryption technology such as data hiding. The word steganography literally means ‘covered writing’. It is derived from the Greek words “stegos” meaning “cover”, and “grafia” meaning “writing”. Steganography functions to hide a secret message embedded in media such as text, image, audio and video. There are a lot of algorithms used in the field of information hiding in the media; the simplest and best known technique is Least Significant Bit (LSB). In this paper we have made a comparison and of the (LSB) algorithm using the cover object as an image. From this image, we have chosen two types: Gif and BMP. The comparison and is based on a number of criteria to find out the strengths and weaknesses when using any of the two types.

Authors: Metin Zontul Paper Title: Rule Based Aircraft Performance System Abstract: For aircrafts, there are many rules for takeoff and landing performance calculations. These rules are defined according to aircraft configuration, MEL/CDL items, Turn Procedures, Airport and Obstacle Database and Weather Conditions. In this study, a general database is created to include all kinds of aircraft, airport information and rules effecting aircraft performance. The rules include aircraft configuration, MEL/CDL items and external conditions. Rules can be simple or complex in such a way that composite conditions can be used all together and simple rules can be combined in a complex rule. This study is different from other studies in that all aircraft types can be combined in a single server based database systems and rule checking process is very dynamic and flexible. 20. This server database can be extended to create national or international aircraft and airport information system in the future. Besides the advantages of operational safety resulting from making point calculation instead of 93-97 conventional calculations, with the implementation of this system fuel conservation, emissions of CO2 decrement, aircraft engine health management are achieved.

Kishor Paper Title: Digital Simulation of Power Converter and it’s Control in Microgrid Abstract: Microgrids (MGs) and Distributed Generation are becoming an important role because of their peculiar characteristics. MGs are composed of small power sources which can be renewable, placed near customer sites. Moreover, they have the inherent property of islanding. The attention focuses on the control technique of the converters during grid connected and islanding operation of the MGs. The converters can be represented as an ideal converter with its specified parameters and proper control techniques. Some of the power converters like voltage source converters or current source converters are analysed based on the grid requirement in the system. Similarly some of the control loops like voltage control, current control or power control can be analysed based on the performance of the grid connection. Based on these conditions we may have the attention towards the phase transformations for the control strategies. All the control operations with their performances can be simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. 21. Keywords: Microgrid, PWM, Voltage Source Inverter, SRF-PLL, Micro sources. 98-101

The model can be used to study the dynamic behavior of the induction motor, or can be used in various motor-drive topologies with minor modifications. The motor model presented is based on the T- 22. type d-q model of the induction motor. A block model approach is used in the construction of the motor model that will allow users of the model to resolve reference frame theory issues. The model developed is intuitive, easy to 102-107 use, and allows all motor parameters to be easily accessed for monitoring and comparison purposes. The model presented is capable of being used with various inverter topologies and PWM schemes with minor modifications.

These organizations are considered as the back-bone of the world economy (In the year 2008, more than 85% of the companies in US, China, India, Finland, Ireland etc are small and medium scale enterprises). These small and medium firms have realized that improving their process and working methods are crucial for their business, but they are lacking in the knowledge and resources to implement it. Successful software process improvement implementation is a herculean task for these small and medium enterprises since they are not capable of investing the cost of these programs. There is insufficient knowledge about which innovations are effective, and which factors influence the adoption of software process improvement in small and medium enterprises. There is enough evidence that the majority of small software organizations are not adopting existing standards as they perceive them as being oriented towards large organizations and studies have shown that small firms’ negative perceptions of process model standards are primarily driven by negative views of cost, documentation and bureaucracy. In this paper, we present the current significant software process improvement methodologies for small and medium enterprises comparisons, and a proposed methodology for future studies.

Paralleling of converter modules is used in medium-power applications to achieve the desired output power by using smaller size of high frequency transformers. A parallel-connected interleaved structure offers smaller passive components with less loss in continuous conduction inductor current mode and also reduces the volt-ampere rating of resonant (DC/DC) converter. MATLAB/SIMULINK is used for implementation and simulation results show the performance improvement.

Kalyankar Paper Title: The Classification Accuracy of Multiple-Metric Learning Algorithm on Multi-Sensor Fusion Abstract: this paper focuses on two main issues; first one is the impact of Similarity Search to learning the training sample in metric space, and searching based on supervised learning classification. In particular, four 27. metrics space searching are based on spatial information that are introduced as the following; Chebyshev Distance (CD); Bray Curtis Distance (BCD); Manhattan Distance (MD) and Euclidean Distance(ED) classifiers. The second 124-131 issue investigates the performance of combination of mul-ti-sensor images on the supervised learning classification accura-cy. QuickBird multispectral data (MS) and panchromatic data (PAN) have been used in this study to demonstrate the enhance-ment and accuracy assessment of fused image over the original images. The supervised classification results of fusion image generated better than the MS did. QuickBird and the best results with ED classifier than the other did.

Authors: Tejal Chauhan, Hemant Soni, Sameena Zafar Paper Title: A Review of Automatic Speaker Recognition System Abstract: In the recent time, person authentication in security systems using biometric technologies has grown rapidly. The voice is a signal of infinite information. Digital signal processes such as Feature Extraction and Feature Matching are introduced to authenticate person in security system. In this paper concept of speaker recognition is discussed. Several methods such as Liner Predictive Coding (LPC), Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) etc. are utilized for feature extraction and methods like Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), Vector Quantization (VQ), Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) etc are used with a view to identify voice signal.

Its main objectives are robustness, high payload, and imperceptibility. Digital images, videos, sound files, and other computer files can be used as carrier to embed the information. This paper deals with digital gray scale digital images, and presents a secure steganography scheme for hiding a larger size secret-image into smaller size cover- image. Arnold Transformation is performed to obtain scrambled secret image. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is performed on both host / cover image and secret image / information, and this is followed by alpha blending operation. The approach shows satisfactory results. Results show that proposed algorithm is highly secured with good perceptual invisibility.

Keywords: Alpha Blending, Arnold Transformation, DWT, Steganography.

Ambarkar Paper Title: Opinion Mining From Blogosphere for Analysis of Social Networking Abstract: Blogs are most common medium over web where user posts their opinion. It is considered to be a web space of the users where they share their views, beliefs and other philosophy. The blogs are generally categorized of two types: Itemized blogs, where the user posts his views and opinions against a web news or news item and personal blogs where users posts random topics of their interest under the header of their choice. As more and more number of users publish their data over the web, it becomes significant that Meanings are extracted from blog and they are indexed properly for information retrieval. In this work we develop a crawler to read data from RSS feeds of blogs and save them locally. Finally we apply data mining technique to index the blogs for easy searching and information extraction. 30. Keywords: Web Mining, Blog, Blog Search, Blog Mining 141-146

Paper Title: A Study on Software Metrics and Phase based Defect Removal Pattern Technique for Project Management Abstract: The Software engineering is a application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software. Metrics are used by the software industry to quantify the development, operation and maintenance of software. They give us knowledge of the status of an attribute of the software and help us to evaluate it in an objective way. In software development, a metric is the measurement of a particular characteristic of a program's performance or efficiency. Basically, as applied to the software product, a software metric measures (or quantifies) a characteristic of the software. Metrics provide information to support quantitative managerial decision-making during the software lifecycle and also software metrics is a collective term used to describe the very wide range of activities concerned with measurement in software engineering. The practice of applying software metrics to a software process and to a software product is a complex task that requires study and discipline and which brings knowledge of the status of 151-155 the process and / or product of software in regards to the goals to achieve Phase-based defect removal pattern.

However, a high voltage gain converter is concentrate for the module’s grid connection with dc-ac inverter. This paper proposed a converter that employs a floating active switch to isolate energy from the PV panel when the ac module is OFF; this particular design protects installers and users from electrical hazards. Without extreme duty ratios and numerous turns-ratio of a coupled inductor, this converter achieves a high step-up voltage- conversion ratio; the leakage inductor energy of the coupled inductor is efficiently recycled to the load. These features explain about module’s high-efficiency performance. The detailed operating principles and steady-state analyses of continuous mode is described. A 15 volts produces from photovoltaic which is connects to high step-up dc-dc converter to produces output voltage of 170 volts. The novel proposed system is “an effective high step up interleaved dc-dc converter photovoltaic grid connection system”. In this configuration consists of PV array, high step-up interleaved dc-dc converter and three-phase inverter with grid connected system. In this system, the THD value per phase voltage of three phase inverter output without filter is 1.74% with grid connection system. In this same configuration with 2nd order filter connected of three phase inverter output, the THD value reduced to 0.08%. The results are shown in Matlab/simulink 2009a.

Authors: Hairudin Abd Majid, Nur Izzati Jamahir, Azurah A.Samah Using Reliability Information and Neuro-Fuzzy to Predict Warranty Cost: A Case Study in Fleet Paper Title: Vehicle Abstract: Nowadays, the great market competition makes that the companies look for high reliability and quality of the products manufacturing. The effective ways to ensure reliability signals of the product is by offering better warranty terms and period associated with sale of the product. In fact, warranty is a legal obligation of the manufacturer or dealer in connection with the sale of the product that defines the liability of the manufacturer or dealer in the event of the premature failure or defects of the product. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for reliability analysis of the warranty data and to validate the warranty policy. In order to applied neuro- fuzzy approach by optimizing warranty cost and period, modelling the reliability of the product must be beneficial.

Keywords: reliability, failure rate, neuro-fuzzy, warranty cost, warranty period.

Pawar Paper Title: Face Recognition System (FRS) on Cloud Computing for User Authentication Abstract: Cloud computing is a new technology in the market. In cloud computing user can access their files or 40. data from anyplace using internet. There are several benefits of cloud computing like increase throughput, reduce 189-192 costs, improve accessibility and requires less training but on the other hand it has some security issues. In that, identifying authorized user is a major issue. The user wanting to access the data or services needs to be registered and before every access to data or services; his/her identity must be authenticated for authorization. There are several authentication techniques including traditional and biometric but has some drawbacks. In this paper, we proposed new face recognition system (FRS) which overcome all drawbacks of traditional and other biometric authentication techniques and enables only authorized users to access data or services from cloud server.

Authors: R.Harikumar, R.Prabu, S.Raghavan Paper Title: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) and Its Medical Applications: A Review Abstract: This paper reviews the principles of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), different types of current patterns and reconstruction algorithms to assess its potential in medical imaging. A current injection pattern in EIT has its own current distribution profile within the subject under test. Hence, different current patterns have different sensitivity, spatial resolution and distinguishability. Image reconstruction studies with subject or practical phantoms are essential to assess the performance of EIT systems for their validation, calibration and comparison purposes. Impedance imaging of real objects or tissue phantoms with different current injection methods is also essential for better assessment of the biomedical EIT systems. More specifically, this work reviews the three different image reconstruction techniques including back-projection method, iterative method and one-step linearized method. In this review, Resistivity images are reconstructed from the boundary data using Electrical Impedance Tomography and Diffuse Optical Tomography Reconstruction Software (EIDORS).

Authors: Pranamika Kakati Paper Title: A New Similarity Measure for Fuzzy Sets with the Extended Definition of Complementation Abstract: Similarity measure for Fuzzy sets is one of the researched topics of Fuzzy set theory. Till now there have been several methods to measure similarity between two Fuzzy sets. The existing methods are based on traditional Zadehian Theory of Fuzzy sets where it is believed that there is no difference between Fuzzy membership function and Fuzzy membership value for the complement of a Fuzzy set which is already proved to be wrong. In this article, effort has been made to put forward a new similarity measure with the help of extended definition of complementation of Fuzzy sets using reference function. Our proposed method is based on the fact that Fuzzy membership function and Fuzzy membership value for the complement of a Fuzzy set are two different things. With this new approach an attempt has been made to design a new Similarity measure for Fuzzy sets so that it becomes free from any further controversy.

Authors: CH.Renu Madhavi, A.G.Ananth Finding a Suitable Nonlinear Technique to Distinguish Between HRV Data of Cardiac & Non - Paper Title: Cardiac Diseased Subjects 44. Abstract: The objective of this paper is to find a nonlinear technique which has better resolution in distinguishing between healthy, cardiac and Non-cardiac diseased subjects. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data of 208-210 healthy, cardiac disease and Non-cardiac diseased subjects are analysed using nonlinear techniques. The nonlinear techniques such as Approximate Entropy (ApEn), Sample Entropy (SampEn), Symbolic Entropy (SymbEn), Spectral Entropy (SE) and Correlation Dimension(CD) are applied to the HRV data and the corresponding nonlinear parameters are estimated and compared. Comparison of the estimated parameters revealed best resolution for SampEn to distinguish between healthy, cardiac and Non-cardiac diseased subjects. Further among the Non-cardiac diseased subjects also, SampEn showed higher resolution to distinguish between them. The lowest values of Nonlinear parameters for Non-cardiac diseased subjects when compared to cardiac diseased subjects indicated higher risk of sudden cardiac death for Non-cardiac diseased subjects when compared to cardiac diseased subjects.

Venkata M Lakshmi, M.V.Ramesh Paper Title: Wavelet Analysis Based Overcurrent Protection for Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor Abstract: The objective of this paper is to progress the over current protection for Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motors (PMBLDCM) operating under the various operating conditions ranging from no-load to full load operation. From operating point of view, an operation where the operating point of motor is continuously changing with time and the motor is never operating at a constant speed throughout its operation is termed as non-stationary. Signal processing algorithms such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) cannot be used in non-stationary signals analysis is essentially complicated. This means that under assumptions of near stationary more sophisticated signal processing techniques are needed.In wavelet analysis, a signal is analyzed at different scales or resolutions. To gaze at the approximate stationary of the signal, a large window is used to and a small window is simultaneously used to look for transients. This multi-resolution or multi-scale view of the signal is the core of wavelet analysis. A single prototype function is used to perform wavelet analysis called a wavelet. As measurement of the instantaneous frequency is a significant feature of the anticipated fault-detection algorithm[1]. The Haar wavelet will be chosen for this application. 45.

It has been widely used in the area of distributed database system with multiple sites. One phase commit protocol was commonly used in transaction management. When a transaction runs across two sites one site may commit and another one may fail due to an inconsistent state of the transaction. The choice of commit protocol is an important design decision for distributed database system. A commit protocol in a distributed database transaction which should uniformly commit to ensure that all the participating sites agree to the final outcome and the result may be either a commit or an abort situation. In this paper, we have enhanced the one phase commit protocol based on two phase commit protocol. This phase either the " commit " or the " abort " both sides which results the query process of transaction management.

Keywords: Database system, transaction management, Homogeneous distributed database system, two phase commit protocol.

These networks collect information from the environments and deliver the same to the applications to determine characteristics of the environment or detect an event. Since the sensor nodes have limited amount of energy, it is a major issue in wireless sensor networks to develop an energy-efficient routing protocol. Many energy efficient routing protocols have been proposed to solve this problem and increase the lifetime of the network. This paper proposes an energy efficient hierarchical based routing protocol. In this, clusters are made based on their geographical location & cluster heads are chosen on the basis of highest residual energy within the cluster as well as minimum distance to the base station from the cluster heads. Simulation is done using MATLAB. The results show that the network lifetime & residual energy of the nodes increases as we increase the number of cluster in the network.

Authors: Shyam Sundar Prasad, Chanakya Kumar Comparison between Innovative Approaches of RFID Based Localization Using Fingerprinting Paper Title: Techniques for Outdoor and Indoor Environments Abstract: In this paper, two novel localization algorithms using a fingerprint technique are proposed. The performance evaluation of these algorithms is compared by calculating the location estimation error. The feasibility for indoor and outdoor applications is investigated. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System is utilized by the reader being the localized target. The passive tags are chosen as reference tags. The basic principle of the fingerprint technique is to find the target location by comparing its signal (or information) pattern to a beforehand recorded database of known location data. Consequently, there are two main steps for estimating the target location: the detected tags, in the first place, discovered by the reader at each fingerprint location are stored in the database and called a fingerprint. The reader location, in the second place, can be estimated by using two proposed methods. The performance of each method is verified by experiment data. The best results of location estimation error among one another for outdoor environment is less than 38 cm and for indoor environment is less than 35 cm. Furthermore, the investigation found that proposed methods can be used in the real applications for both indoor and outdoor environment.

Authors: Ujwala T. Tayade, Seema Biday, Lata Ragha Paper Title: Forensic Sketch-Photo Matching using LFDA Abstract: The advancement of biometric technology has provided criminal investigators additional tools to determine the identity of criminals. In addition to DNA and circumstantial evidence, if a latent fingerprint is found at an investigative scene or a surveillance camera captures an image of a suspect’s face, then these cues may be used to determine the culprit’s identity using automated biometric identification. However, many crimes occur where none of this information is present, but instead an eye-witness of the crime is available. In these circumstances a forensic artist is often used to work with the witness or the victim in order to draw a sketch that depicts the facial appearance of the culprit according to the verbal description. These sketches are known as forensic sketches. This problem of matching a forensic sketch to a gallery of mugshot images is addressed here using a robust framework called local feature-based discriminant analysis (LFDA). Since, forensic sketches or digital face images can be of poor quality, a pre -processing technique is used to enhance the quality of images and improve the identification performance.In this paper experiments are carried out using 52 forensic sketches for matching against a gallery of 51. 264 photo images. The experimental results demonstrate the matching performance of the proposed algorithm with the use of preprocessing approach yields better identification accuracy compared to other methods. 242-246

Haddadnia Paper Title: MCM and CPM Combination as Compared to The Use of FDE for CPM Abstract: This paper compares Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM) and Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) combination, with the use of Frequency Domain Equalization (FDE) for Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM). It is shown that these two constant envelope methods exploit the frequency diversity of multi path channel. In addition, they have 0dB Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and high power efficiency. However, MCM-CPM combination outperforms applying FDE for CPM due to superior performance of multicarrier systems in frequency selective channels by using orthogonal subcarriers.

Khot Paper Title: Facial Expression Recognition Using Principal Component Analysis Abstract: Expression detection is useful as a non-invasive method of lie detection and behaviour prediction. 54. However, these facial expressions may be difficult to detect to the untrained eye. In this paper we implements facial 258-262 expression recognition techniques using Principal Component analysis (PCA). Experiments are performed using standard database like Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) database. The universally accepted six principal emotions to be recognized are: Angry, Happy, Sad, Disgust, Fear and Surprise along with neutral. Euclidean distance based matching Classifier is used.

Gakungu Qualitative Assessment of Rain Water Harvested from Roof Top Catchments: Case Study of Paper Title: Embakasi, County Abstract: Rain Water Harvesting (RWH), in its broadest sense, is a technology used for collecting and storing rainwater for human use from rooftops, land surfaces or rock catchments using simple techniques such as jars and pots as well as engineered techniques [6]. This paper aims to assess the quality of harvested roof-top rainwater from three different roofing materials in Embakasi area in Nairobi County. The roofing materials are corrugated iron sheets, clay tiles and concrete tiles. Chemical analysis included testing for iron, copper, zinc, fluoride, aluminium, lead, zinc, manganese, sodium and potassium. Physical analysis of pH and turbidity was carried out as well as bacteriological analysis for Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and total coliform. All the rainwater samples results for the samples taken after first run-off, were within the guidelines for both chemical and microbiological parameters established by the World Health Organization [10]. On the contrary, turbidity levels were higher than the maximum allowable concentration for drinking purposes hence the need to allow the first run –off during any rainfall event. As revealed from the analysis, all the samples require some level of treatment e.g. chlorination in order to ensure they meet regulatory standards for drinking water. However all water samples are quite safe for all other domestic uses including laundry, toilet flushing, bathing and other general cleaning. The integrated management must consist of regular cleaning of the catchment areas and the storage tanks and the employment of automated mechanical systems for discarding the first portion of each rainfall. The use of clay roofing tiles is preferable but due to cost, 55. corrugated iron sheets maybe adopted.
