 Abstract

The main objective of this project is to describe some of the important topics related to corrosion prevention in R.C. Elements by Nitro Zinc, Rust remover and polyester resin. Phosphate coatings have a wide field of applications in industry. The aim of the present work is to control the corrosion i.e ion concentration in the phosphate bath in order to improve the quality and adhesive properties of Nitro zinc coatings in steel. Rust remover soak quickly dissolves rust from metal and restores surfaces to bare metal without scraping, chipping or scrubbing. It removes light rust, leave the parts in 1-3 hours. The term polyester is typically reserved for acidic and hydroxyl functional polyester resin. The family of polyester comprises all polymers with ester functional groups in the polymer backbone. Therefore the chemistry of the structural units connecting the ester groups can be varied over an immense broad. The application of Nitro -Zinc helps the formation of thin inert layer on the metal surface to be protected. Material for anti�corrosion paint is used in reinforcements. Nitro zinc has a large crystalline structure. The large crystalline is an excellent medium for holding oil and adhering to paint. The phosphate also improves lubricity. Appearance is gray. The coating shows satisfactory corrosion resistance for high durability in concrete structure.

 Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a Speaker Identification System which can recognize speakers by their acoustic characteristics of speech. The proposed system would be a text independent system means the user is free to speak any word or sentence. Speaker recognition is the process of automatically recognizing who is speaking on the basis of individual information include in speech waves. This technique makes it possible to use the speech�s voice to verify their identity and control access to services such as voice dialing, banking by telephone, telephone shopping, database access services, information services, voice mail, Forensic speaker recognition ,security control for confidential information areas, and remote access to computers. Wavelet Transform particularly Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used in order to extract the vocal characteristics of the speakers in speech signal whereas KNearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm is used for feature matching, which shows a very much improvement in the identification rate. The feature extraction is done by six levels wavelet decomposition and these features are extracted from wavelet coefficients by mean, standard deviation and ratios between them.

 Abstract

The distribution and structure of the neurosecretory cells of the brain, suboesophageal gangalion and other ventral gangalia with the associated neurohaemal organs in millipede, based on cytomorphological characteristics and trophography in the millipede, Anoplodesmes tanjoricus,their are three different types of cells A, B and C present in dense neurosecretory material in the brain. The A Cells are divided into subtypes A1, A2, A3, A4 : and C cells into C1 and C2.The data on changes in the neurosecretory cells of cerebral gangalion ,suboesophageal and ventral gangalion of the millipede acclimated to low temperature (120C and 100C) revels decrease in neurosecretory intensity of A, B and C types cells. They are differentiated in A1,A2, A3, A4 and C1 , C2 after exposure of millipede to low thermal temperature there is absence of neurosecretory material or if present,it is in traces. Nuclear diameter shows decrease and neurosecretory intensity was reduced. The present investigation experimentally verifies the course of the neurosecretory material in the depletion at lower temperature therefore neurosecretory intensity showed prominent changes, probably due to the inactivity of enzymes than exposed to upper low temperature (120C-100C).

 Abstract

Tortoise beetle (Aspidomorpha milliaris) are found feeding on leaf of Ipomoea fistulosa, (I. carnea subsp. fistulosa), commonly called in Austrelia as bush morning-glory. Ipomoea. fistulosa is among the most dominant and harmful of the weeds that have infested the world�s tropical and sub-tropical region. It is toxic to animals and human due to containing poisonous chemicals such as wainsonin and calystegine. However Tortoise beetle (Aspidomorpha milliaris) can digest these chemical proteins. It has been already reported that two species of bacteria as Klebsiella and Citrobacter found in gut that might be responsible for digestion of toxic ipomoea leaves.

 Abstract

As Gandhiji stated that the education should bring in an all-round development of the child by drawing out of the best in child�s � body, mind and spirit regardless of the child�s ability of being excellent, moderate or average in their capacities of learning. Education is turned as one of the basic need and right of an individual. Within the Indian states, Kerala has the highest literacy rate of 93.91%.However the state that prides itself on having one of the best educational systems in the country falls back in providing quality education giving priority to the needs of the students, this is because the state does not put forward an educational system that provides equal attention to all its students even though the curriculum specifies some. The scholastically backward students are neglected considering them as mentally retarded. Hence the main objective of the study is to understand the psychological status of scholastically backward students. The sample selected for the study is fifty three higher secondary students of Government Tribal Higher Secondary School, Sholayoor, Palakkad. The samples were selected on a multistage basis by conducting pre-test in order to identify the slow learners. The data is collected from the students through a structured questionnaire. The results of the study indicated that they like to come to the frontier areas of society however family, parents ,teachers and peers attitude hinder them from the same. A detailed explanation of their state is being discussed in the article

 Abstract

Energy is the driving force of economic growth and its vital element to support the modern economy. Future economic growth of each and every nation�s crucially depends on the long-term availability of energy from different sources that are affordable, accessible and eco-friendly. But at present oil and gas are among the most important energy sources in the world. One thing we need to understand that we need oil and without oil we can�t imagine anything because it became a bloodline of each and every nation�s - currently around 90 million barrels of crude oil consume in each day. We all know that oil can be used for many purposes other than fuel for energy or transport. And yet we are constantly hearing new and often contradictory forecasts about the potential reserves of oil and gas. Efficient, reliable and competitively priced energy supplies are necessary requirement for increasing economic growth. For each and every developing nations, the strategy or policy to obtain and meet the energy demand for the domestic are the integral part of the overall economic strategy. Efficient use of resources and long-term sustainability in its utilization is prime importance for economic development. The research will study each and every aspect why there will be a direct relationship between rising oil price and economy. It will also give detailed information�s, if there are any differences in oil price effects on economic growth between countries.
