 Abstract

Water is essential for all living things survival. In this circumstance, the ever depleting water resources and their protection as well as sustainable consumption and supply of clean and potable water for increasing population is biggest challenge of 21st century. Increasing population is increasing pressure on water. Water supply is an important contextual theme in planned economic development. The state is endowed with limited water resource that is stressed and depleting. Different sector demands are growing rapidly. Increase in population, urbanization, rapid industrialization and rising incomes are putting this resource under stress. Unless water resources are properly developed and managed, the state will face acute crisis within the next two decades. Serious destabilization of water sector affecting the hydrology, economy and ecology of state. Sustainable development requires wise policies and effective strategies that conserve, protect, manage fresh water to meet needs of human and other creatures. This paper focus on problems needs, sources, key issues of water resources challenges of water resources management in Karnataka with reference to Dharawad district, the paper ultimately aims at recommending solution to the problem.

Old age is a period when people need physical, emotional, and psychological support. Depression is a major mental health problem, which is yet to be recognized as an important public health challenge. About 322 million people affected with depression worldwide. Depression is the single largest contributor to global disability (7.5%, 2015) and a major contributor to suicides (800,000 annually. The study was conducted in Ashra old age of Bhopal. The population comprised of all elderly people both male and female who are residing in old age home and having sign of symptoms of depression. The study findings concludes that the, pretest mean depression score was 18.64 and with a standard deviation of 3.41 and in posttest mean depression score was 9.32 with a standard deviation of 2.67. This proves that Mindfulness Therapy was effective in reducing depression level of elderly people. Mindfulness meditation is a nurse-initiated intervention that has the advantages of being cost-effective, therapeutic, social and recreational for the institutionalized older adult. As a communicative psychosocial process, Mindfulness meditation has proven to be a valuable intervention for the depressed elderly client

 Abstract

An automatic tree planting robot should be suitable for all kinds of tree plantation work and it should also be reliable and efficient, which is the basic requirement for our project. The main motto of our project is to reduce the man power needed to plant trees. Nowadays humans are too busy with their work that they do not have time to plant trees, in such case we would see a lot of reduction in trees in the near future. So, we thought of implementing a tree planting robot which would reduce the reduction of trees to a great extent. From this we can plant different types of saplings. We have tried to make it cheap by using different process method so that it becomes affordable to one and all. We have made its control very easy so that it does not get difficult for the users.

Abstract: There are a number of conformist skill based forms extensively prevalent in instantaneous circumstances clearly visible for ordinary human beings. As a matter of fact, these innovative forms are part of an average power of human survival and performances of these social mechanisms are unavoidable for its existence. Many mechanisms are invented for reducing difficulties of employment and with use of them strains evacuated to negligible. Apart from useful aspects common man like them to contain a shape enhances aesthetic sensibilities of its beholder. On anticipation of this specific utility these mechanisms well planned before creation. There are several of activities come into ones purview when seriously look at it for its significance. In this study several venues of craft production are elaborately explained and pointed its social relevance on materialistic and Aesthetic utility. The craft productions found in Kerala has two phases, the first one is with excess of labor content in it and other is with more aesthetic or philosophic content. Necessity of further studies in this area is exposed and confirmed.

 Abstract

Increasing research interest has been focused on controlled drug delivery using natural and biocompatible polymers as drug carriers in recent years. In the present study transdermal patch of Vildagliptin was developed using Aloe Vera gel powder as a polymer and Almond oil as penetration enhancer. Patches were prepared by solvent evaporation technique. Optimization was carried out by response surface methodology using central composite design with polymer concentration(X1), plasticizer concentration(X2), and concentration of permeation enhancer(X3) as independent variables. Hydrophilic nature of polymer as well as plasticizer and Interaction with intercellular protein to disrupt the structure of stratum corneum were responsible for increase in drug release with increase in their concentrations. Optimized formulation F9 exhibited high drug release, folding endurance Thus, It can be concluded that transdermal patch of Vildagliptin using aloe vera gel powder will be more efficacious and gives synergistic effect to drug

ABSTRACT-Recently, Machine Learning has got a succeed scope on multi-view representation. Since the performance of data mining methods is heavily dependent on the expressive power of data representation, multi-view representation learning has become a very promising topic with wide applicability. It is an emerging direction in data mining which considers learning with multiple views to improve the generalization performance. Multi-view learning is also known as data fusion or data integration from multiple feature sets. In general, multi-view representation learning is capable of learning more informative and compact representation which leads to an improvement in predictors� performance. Thus, multi-view representation learning has been widely applied in numerous real-world applications including cross-media retrieval, natural language processing, video analysis, and recommender system. We propose two major categories for multi-view representation learning: (I) multi-view representation alignment, which aims to capture the relationships among multiple different views through feature alignment; (II) multi-view representation fusion, which seeks to fuse the separate features learned from multiple different views into a single compact representation. Both strategies seek to exploit the complementary knowledge contained in multiple views to comprehensively represent the data. In this project we implement the concept of canonical correlation analysis to retrieve the multi data. Inspired by the success of deep learning, deep multi-view representation learning has attracted much attention in cross media retrieval due to its ability of learning much more expressive cross-view representation.

 Abstract

Resource constrained sensing devices are being used widely to build and deploy self-organizing wireless sensor networks for a variety of critical applications such as smart cities, smart health, precision agriculture and industrial control systems. A Data Stream Manager (DSM) at the server collects the data streams to perform real time analysis and decision-making for these critical applications. A malicious adversary may access or tamper with the data in transit. One of the challenging tasks in such applications is to assure the trustworthiness of the collected data so that any decisions are made on the processing of correct data. Assuring high data trustworthiness requires that the system satisfies two key security properties: confidentiality and integrity. To ensure the confidentiality of collected data, we need to prevent sensitive information from reaching the wrong people by ensuring that the right people are getting it. Sensed data are always associated with different sensitivity levels based on the sensitivity of emerging applications are sensed data types or the sensing devices. Providing multilevel data confidentiality along with data integrity for big sensing data streams in the context of near real time analytics is a challenging problem. We propose a Selective Encryption (SEEN) method to secure big sensing data streams that satisfies the desired multiple levels of confidentiality and data integrity. Our method is based on two key concepts: common shared keys that are initialized and updated by DSM without requiring retransmission and a seamless key refreshment process without interrupting the data stream encryption/decryption. A novel scheme to secure a multi-hop network programming protocol through the use of multiple one-way hash chains is proposed. The scheme is shown to be lower in computational, power consumption and communication costs yet still able to secure multi-hop propagation of program images.

 Abstract

Creativity is the gateway to innovative outcomes that are important to any high performance team�s ability to deliver the results needed by their clients and customers. Creativity is not a myth that is the result of magic, madness or mystery. Instead, creativity can be influenced by variables you can control and affect! Increased creativity and problem solving skills will help to ensure that the desired outcome of all engagements and work is successfully completed in a timely and cost effective manner. Creativity is a trait that exists in everyone. Regardless of individuals� experiences with creativity, it is a disposition we can nurture and cultivate. Therfore, in order to assess the issue on attitude towards the development of creative thinking of prospective teachers the researcher used survey method with 200 samples to study the objectives with respect to gender, streams of study, medium of instructions and locality. The questionnaire on creative thinking inventory prepared and validated by the researcher was executed. The results show that there is a significant difference between the means scores of attitude towards the development of creative thinking of prospective teachers on the basis of science and arts, arts and commerce, medium of instructions and locality whereas there is no significant difference between the means scores of attitude towards the development of creative thinking of prospective teachers on the basis of gender and science and commerce.

 Abstract

Communication between the Speech-impaired and normal people has always been difficult. It is a challenge to develop an appropriate technology to help these people communicate with others. Recognizing the sign language of deaf and dumb people is the only way that offers speech-impaired a proper platform to easily communicate with the normal people. According to Census 2011, out of 6.79 crore people 21,932 people are speech-impaired in Tamil Nadu who speak Tamil Language. It is a tedious process to make all the normal people learn the sign language, but whereas it is an optimal process for a machine to do this job. There are numerous applications developed for recognizing American Sign Language (ASL), but few efficient applications for recognizing Dravidian Sign Language are developed. So, the goal is to develop a gesture recognition system for Dravidian Sign Language (Tamil) that efficiently translates the sign language into an equivalent Tamil text. This project bridges the communication gap between the speech-impaired and normal people with the help of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) by using the CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) technique.
