 Abstract

Plants are natural sources of bioactive compounds. Being rich in biocomponents they have tremendous applications in various fields. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the phytochemical contents present in the stalk of Capsicum annuum longum by qualitative analysis. Phytochemical screening reveals the richness of the plant extract in terms of various biocomponents like flavonoids, tannins, steroids, etc. Results were positive for tannins, flavonoids and terpenoids in the stalk of Capsicum annuum longum and negative for quinones and steroids. Result suggests that stalk of Capsicum annuum longum can be used as a bioadsorbent for the waste water treatment.

 Abstract

It is necessary to design structures not only to seismic forces but also to suddenly applied shock waves. This has lead to various structural methodologies for safeguarding a structure against such sudden shock loads besides seismic loads. We generally design structures for loads whose magnitudes are much smaller than those caused due to a shock wave. Hence, such conventional structures cannot perform well under the influence of a sudden shock load, and are susceptible to damage. In the present thesis, a tall building (G+30) of plan dimensions 5m x 5m is considered. Each storey is 3m in height. The column dimensions are varied from 600mmx600mm to 1000mmx1000mm. The analysis is done using ETABS 2016 software. The structure is analyzed for shock loads, where the shock pressures are calculated for various charges and stand-offs using IS: 4991-1968. The non-linear displacement and drift are studied. It is found that the values of non-linear displacements and drifts increased as the charge increases and stand-off distance decreases. Next, the structure is studied for seismic forces. The mode shapes, natural frequencies, modal masses, displacements and drifts are studied. It is found that the displacement values are higher for shock loads (100kg at 50m) than for seismic loads in Zone-V. Pushover analysis was done by certain long hand procedures instead of simply using auto-hinge facility of ETABS software on the 30 storey structure to determine the ductility ratio. The ductility ratio is determined to be 2.194 for column sizes 600x600mm.

 Abstract

This paper presents, an advanced evaluating methodology that has been evolved and used to help the agriculturist to take correct decision regarding many features of Aloe Vera plant development process. Suitable evaluation and diagnosis of various parts of leaf of the Aloe Vera disease in the field is very critical for the increased production. The aim of this project is also to overcome the existing problems concerned with over use of Aloe Vera products such as colorectal cancer, diarrhea, hepatitis. To solve this difficulty we are proposing a prototype model with image processing. The genetic algorithm is helpful in finding the useful contents in succulent plant like Aloe Vera which is planted for use in agriculture and medical field. But the continuous use of products containing Aloe Vera is known to cause numerous skin allergies, skin eruptions etc. Due to these disadvantages there is need of suitable substitute to Aloe Vera. Those are found out with the help of genetic algorithm by giving different set of inputs like Aloe Vera, Turmeric to the algorithm and compare output of it.

 Abstract

The role of social network is to enable individuals to simultaneously share information with their peers. The communities meet in person or share ideas and experiences over internet. Unfortunately the social network is misused to spread malicious information which adversely effects the society.This malicious information affects the sentiments of people and also the reputation of social network. For example during 2016 election, voting polls were falsely predicted and spread all over social media but later due to false predictions it deeply affected the sentiments of the political parties. In this work, we are focusing on fastest growing social media profoundly known as twitter. To overcome the impact of the malicious information, in our work we propose a technique which is modelled analytically by considering reputation of social network and user experience to access, analyse and validate the information .The proposed system will be validated with respect to reliable tweets obtained which will prove that the impact of malicious information will be reduced by 24% compared to existing system.

 Abstract

Biodiesel fuel is an alternative fuel used extensively in diesel engines usually blended with petroleum diesel to overcome the ongoing fossil fuel depletion. Esterification process of organic resources such as vegetable oil or animal fats yields Biodiesel. This study has been carried out in a view to deal with biodiesel synthesis and its performance on a compression ignition engine fuelled with two biodiesel blends. It also deals with reducing macroscopic exhaust pollutants with a point of keeping emission level down. For the very purpose emission test series have been carried for all the biodiesel blends to know about the emission rate of individual blend. This paper investigates the scope of using biodiesel produced with methanol in the process of synthesizing biodiesel. Experiments were conducted on diesel engine with B15, B30, B45, B60 of methyl esters of Pongamia and Neem oil and standard diesel fuel separately. The performance and emission behaviors results were compared with diesel fuel.

 Abstract

Earthquake is one of the main causes building failure and it is unpredictable and cannot be prevented. From the previous studies it is evident that damage due to earthquake is more in irregular buildings than in regular buildings. In these days due to increase in population there is growth in metropolitan cities where the cost of property and materials are high. High rise buildings are more common in the metropolitan cities and many building will have irregular structural configuration like plan or vertical irregularities. The current study is based on plan irregularities due to which the centre of mass of the structure and centre of stiffness of the structure do not coincide with each other. The difference between centre of mass and centre of stiffness is called eccentricity which induces torsion in the building which is one of the major causes of building failure. In the current study three models of (G+30) storey buildings by varying the storey eccentricities are considered and linear static analysis, response spectrum analysis and pushover analyse are carried out for all the four seismic zones. Parameters such as storey displacement, storey drift, base shear and ductility ratio are noted and results are evaluated.

 Abstract

Filters are widely used in dealing out with signal processing and communication systems. The filters so used are digital filters. In those systems, assurances to efficient operation of signal are insignificant and that is why implementation of fault tolerant filters are needed. Enhancing technology make system more complex that include many filters. In those complex systems, it is frequent to have number of filters that functions in parallel. In parallel combination of filters, there apply the same filter to different input signals. In this brief, the idea is to show that error corrected codes (ECCs) can protect parallel filters in which each filter is the equivalent of a bit in a traditional ECC. When the number of parallel filter is large, it provides high fault tolerant to those complex system. The proposed technique uses parallel FIR filters which results in high fault tolerant and low-cost implementation.
