 Abstract

As a process of sharing ideas and emotions verbally and nonverbally, interpersonal communication allows to interact with and understand others in personal and professional lives. The current trends of virtual communication through cell phones and social media among employees seldom bring the indented effect and limit the problem solving. To bridge this gap, this paper explores and critically analyses the interpersonal communication emphasizing its concepts, methods, need, importance and challenges. It plays an important role in employee satisfaction, motivation, collaboration and business success. The effective interpersonal communication in the workplace also makes operations more efficient and the teamwork not only possible but also easier.

Recently smart gadgets including smart phones and tablets are gaining popularity. These devices contain Personal Identifiable Information. An attacker can compromise a smart phone and gain full control of it by connecting another computing device to it using the USB physical link. Moreover, by simply capturing the smart phones physically, adversaries have access to confidential or even classified data if the owners are the government officials or military personnels. In this project, here discuss a secure and encrypted file system on Android operating system and optimize the performance using certified encryption algorithm BlowFish provided in OPENSSL libraries. This project presents EncFS which is a FUSE (File system in USErspace) based file-system offering encryption file system to protect the removable and persistent storage on heterogeneous smart gadget devices running the Android platform. In proposed methodology, the data at rest including physical partition on the device and removable storage card is encrypted using user provided password. The encrypted file system is mounted only after successful password verification with user at system boot up.

 Abstract

Farming is perhaps the main financial movement. India's economy is intensely founded on horticulture, with around 75% of the provincial populace relying on agribusiness as their essential pay, 84% of which are little and peripheral ranchers. Soybean crop is among principle business crop. Creepy crawly irritations are one of the fundamental elements influencing rural item yield. Exact acknowledgment of bug bothers works with convenient preventive measures to stay away from financial losses. Pest discovery is a significant test in the field of horticulture. In any case, an inordinate utilization of pesticide is hurtful to plants, creatures and individuals. We utilize different methods of Computer Vision and Deep Learning to take care of this issue. Pictures of the yield influenced by these nuisances and creepy crawlies are gained and utilized as a preparation dataset for the convolution neural network model for highlight extraction, since the current strategies depend on manual grouping by the ranchers, which is a monotonous, tedious and debilitating cycle. This can be computerized utilizing the innovation of deep learning, which is favorable as it is reasonable and moderate as far as arrangement and force utilization.

 Abstract

The Sultanate of Oman is an Asian country located on the south-west of the Arabian Peninsula. It is located in the south-eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula. It is surrounded by the Sea of Oman and the south-east by the Indian Ocean. The land borders are associated with Saudi Arabia from the west and Yemen from the south-west, and from the north, the UAE borders. The area of the Sultanate of Oman is estimated at three hundred thousand square kilometers. This area includes a variety of terrain such as plains and mountains. The most important coastal plain is the coastal plain, which overlooks the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman occupies three percent of the Sultanate's total area. Of the total area, and the Dhofar Mountains located in the south-west, the most important, in addition to desert places covering eighty-two percent of its total area, which are mostly in the Empty Quarter (Asia, 2018).

Private sector participation, in the broadest sense of the definition, not only includes BOT type projects but also, what might be termed, conventional type contracts for maintenance, upgrading and development that essentially have no revenue earning capability and are generally projects that are already being undertaken by PWD, using the private sector.

 Abstract

The improvement of the performance of heat exchangers with gas as the working fluid becomes particularly important due to the high thermal resistance offered by gases in general. In order to compensate for the poor heat transfer properties of gases, the surface area density of plate heat exchangers can be increased by making use of the triangular fins. In addition, a promising technique for the enhancement of heat transfer is the use of longitudinal vortex generators. The longitudinal vortices are produced due to the pressure difference generated between the front and back surface of the vortex generator. The longitudinal vortices facilitate the exchange of fluid near the walls with the fluid in the core and hence, the boundary layer is disturbed. It causes the increase in temperature gradient at the surface, which leads to the augmentation in heat transfer. An innovative design of triangular shaped fins with rectangular or a delta wing vortex generator mounted on their slant surfaces for enhancing the heat transfer rate in plate-fin heat exchanger is proposed. The performance of the proposed design is evaluated for different flow rate of hot fluid and cold fluid of the wing and constant bath temperature boundary condition. The study is being carried out for wing vortex generator to the fin surface by brazing.. The flow regime is assumed to be laminar because, usually the fin spacing is so small and the mean velocity is such that the Reynolds numbers of interest are below the critical Reynolds number. The working fluid considered is air and water. At higher Reynolds numbers, more fluid passes through the channel in the same interval which causes a reduction in the value of mean temperature. Combined span wise average Nusselt number is computed by averaging the local Nusselt numbers all around the periphery. In the downstream direction, the temperature of the fluid increases and so the combined span wise average Nusselt number decreases continuously for the plate-triangular fin without any vortex generator. The churning action mixes the fluid near the surface with the comparatively colder fluid in the core region. It increases the temperature gradient near the walls and hence, the combined span wise average Nusselt number increases. The heat transfer enhancement can reduce the size of the heat exchanger for a given heat load or exit temperature. The only price to be paid for enhancing heat transfer using longitudinal vortex generators is the additional pumping power required to force the fluid through the heat exchanger. This quantity is also computed to confirm that the increase is sufficiently small. The analysis is also carried out by varying the size of the wings and using the in-line arrangement of the wings.

 Abstract

The aim of this project is to demonstrate a digital watermarking scheme using visual cryptography for copyright protection of a digital image. A binary image, called watermark, is split into two shares via a 2-out-of-2 visual secret sharing scheme. Then, one of the shares called the master share is extracted from the host image using a fixed pseudo-random point, and the other share also known as ownership share, made by relating the master share and the watermark, is held by the owner which is also given to an authorized 3rd party copyright verifier. Based on the security property of visual cryptography, the two shares on their own cannot leak any information about the watermark. The experimental results show that even after the image was modified, the invisible watermark was successfully extracted from it.
