 Abstract

The present investigation on the various parts of Nyctanthes arbortristis L. has been undertaken mainly to understand the anatomy, tissue components, phytochemicals and antimicrobial activity. It has been achieved by adopting the basic techniques in anatomy and histochemistry. The main focus of this study was on the internal structure of stem, leaf and flower so as to understand the role of specialized cells (secretary cells) and pigments (carotenoids). These microscopic features play an important role in authentication of crude drug samples in pharmacognosy. In transactional view, stem shows four cortical bundles characterized as conjoint, collateral, open and exarch, present at the four ridged portion of the stem. This is due to the abnormality of stem which shows secondary growth at maturity. Midrib vascular bundle is crescentric showing cambial divisions, xylem and phloem. The essential oil of N. arbortristis L. has a pleasant fragrance and has been established as a potent antimicrobial agent. Presence of essential oil secreting cells was localized in stem, leaf and flower with Sudan III stain. Oil secreting cells appear bright orange - red. In the present study, tannins, starch, glycosides and carotenoids have been identified. Interestingly, tannins, starch, glycosides and carotenoids are seemed to be responsible for aroma and colour of the corolla tube. Interestingly, the results pertaining to the bioactive principles of flowers of N. arbortristis L. remain similar to that of jasmine. Further, the alkaloid and the glycosides extracted in the present investigation are known as nyctanthine and iridoid glycosides respectively. Besides, the significant antibacterial activity of the leaf powder extracted in butanol exhibited the maximum zone of inhibition (19mm) against Gram negative bacteria. Thus these properties of the plant N. arbortristis L., make it as a very promising / potential candidate species in both pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as well

 Abstract

Speech has always been considered as a power medium for verbal communication, and reflects the personality of the speaker. The ability to speak is interlinked with the ability to hear. For children, hearing is most significant because the ability to develop and use oral language is closely related to the ability to process speech through ears. The purpose of this study was to develop and determine the validity of Picture Speech identification test for 3 to 6 years old children in Assamese language and compare the developed test on Assamese speaking children with profound hearing loss and Cochlear Implant users. A monosyllabic word list was developed keeping in mind that the words had to be pictorial. It was further validated and administered by performing on Assamese speaking bilateral severe to profound hearing impaired children and children using Cochlear implant and the scores were compared. The study revealed that Picture speech identification test developed for children showed a validity and children using Cochlear implants performed better compared to children without amplification i.e. bilateral severe to profound hearing loss. This study therefore proves that Picture speech identification test can be used as a valid tool for evaluation and therapy in the field of Pediatric Audiology. The test helps us find out the speech identification abilities of hearing impaired children and accordingly assign them to different auditory training groups.

 Abstract

pilgrims are important part of pilgrimage centers. Better infrastructure facilities at pilgrimage centers attract a greater number of pilgrims. Satisfactory sanitation facilities are the important part of pilgrimage centers. In Maharashtra pandharpur is mostly visited pilgrimage center. Pandharpur is famous for lord Vithhal. Every year near about 20-25 lakh pilgrims visit pandharpur, and it is observed that number of pilgrims increasing every year. For this largely visited pilgrimage center, providing satisfactory sanitation facilities is task. There are many sanitation facilities are provided but some of them are not in good condition hence pilgrims choose to defecate in open. It leads to spreading of diseases. If better sanitation facilities were provided it will help to maintain hygienic environment throughout the wari period. The findings of the revealed that increasing flow of pilgrims choose to defecate in open due to unsatisfactory sanitation facility and it leads to polluted environmental condition and spread of diseases. Hence, it is very significant to provide sanitation facility at pilgrimage center.

 Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has significant ramifications. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are designed to make daily tasks easier, such as delivering parcels, reducing traffic, and transporting commodities. Aerial and marine vehicles, as well as ground vehicles, are included in Autonomous Vehicles, which have a wide range of uses. We are deploying Cyber Security (CS) based data transmission to autonomous vehicles to solve this challenge. Here, a cloud serves as the intermediary, transferring files from the sender to the autonomous car. For added security, we employ a CS-based algorithm (Advanced Encryption Standard) to encrypt the transmitted data into cipher text. The private key generated by the sender to the specific Autonomous Vehicles can decipher the encryption text .While these IoT systems manage vast amounts the majority of sensor information is also sent to the cloud for delayed processing. While Autonomous Vehicles have a lot of promise in terms of the benefits they may offer Security and privacy are important to the transportation business. Issues represent additional difficulties that must be addressed as we go. Furthermore, Ai Research approaches are becoming increasingly important for IoT systems to automatically manage AVs. This study examines artificial intelligence (AI) and security in relation The Internet of Transportation Systems is a cloud-based system.

 Abstract

In the globe of potentialities, IoT (Internet of Things) is playing a vital function in progress and computerization or automation of devices and objects that is making life easy, calm and most significantly consistent by regulating and monitoring the various electronic, electrical devices and a lot of other things remotely by internet. There is a radical development in IoT where huge quantity of heterogeneous appliances getting connected to internet. IoT [1] makes to link varied technologies, applications and protocols that lead to interoperability and interconnectivity between the heterogeneous wired and wireless protocols is a drawback. This paper emphasizes on the design and development of a new Bi-Directional IoT Gateways, which makes the communication among the heterogeneous appliances incorporated with various wireless protocols and wired protocol such as (Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Bluetooth, GSM and Ethernet). It makes the interlinking and interoperability among various wired and wireless protocols, by restoring the obtained sensor data got from discrete wireless nodes, for regulating and monitoring a machine by the instructions specified by remote users. Wherever there no means of internet communication the prototype utilizes built-in GSM module that send the information to the cloud and gets instructions from the remote users.

 Abstract

Railway power conditioners have played a vital role in the railway industry for compensating negative sequence current (NSC), reactive power, and current harmonics. Also, various power conditioners have been framed to ease its implementation and improve the power quality of the traction system. To nullify the power quality problem in railway power supply network, a railway static power conditioner (RPC) based on half-bridge converter is proposed. Compared with conventional Half-Bridge-Converter-Based Railway Static Power Conditioner, the proposed conditioner could keep the rating and cost of the power quality conditioner reduced. Cooperative control strategies have been developed to achieve accurate tracking of reference signals.

 Abstract

In this paper, we propose novel low error approximate adder structures for FPGA-based implementations. By using the proposed adder structures, the throughput of an FPGA-based implementation can be significantly increased. We propose two approximate adder structurers for FPGAs in this paper : one is low error and area efficient approximate adder (LEADx), and another one is area and power efficient approximate adder (APEx). Both approximate adders are consists of an accurate and an approximate part. These kind of adders are designed to minimize the mean square error (MSE). When compared with other approximate adders LEADx has lower MSE whereas APEx has smaller area and lower power consumption. When compared with other existing approximate adders LEADx provided better quality for video encoding application
