 Abstract

Development in various industries is essential to mankind, but also it seems to possess a serious threat to the environment and humanity. The effluents are discharged into the land and water bodies, which is responsible for the destruction of aquatic creatures. Heavy metals are the major factors responsible for water contamination. Traditional treatment methods like microfiltration, ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, etc., are a monotonous and painstaking processes, and it also adds on to the capital cost. Bio sorption is such a method that employs living organisms or parts of them to remove metals. Bacteria, fungi, and algae are proven to be efficient biosorbents. Extracellular Polymer Substances(EPS) are bacterial secretions that have shown to be potential biosorbents. This paper acknowledge on the metal complex formation capability of EPS extracted from wastewater. The advantage of an EPS in the biotreatment of heavy metals is studied with the optimization of the process parameter. The viability of adsorption and desorption behavior of EPS /sodium alginate(SA) bead prepared in a 2:8 ratio for Ni removal has been investigated through batch studies. The optimal condition for adsorption is found to be pH:6.5; adsorbent dose:6g; initial metal concentration: 75 mg/L and temperature:40�C

People get easily tired of eating the same things again and again. They then resort to restaurant/ junk food which affects their health as the vegetables and oil used by them are of suboptimal quality. The proposed system suggests recipes according to the fruits and vegetables available to the user. User scans the available fruits and vegetables and android application displays a list of possible recipes. The application is personalized, which means the recipes displayed are filtered according to the user�s preferences and health conditions. For example, the proposed application does not display a spicy recipe to a user for elderly people. This makes our application more health friendly. It quickly displays a list of possible recipes. Another interesting aspect of the proposed project is using Machine Learning approach. Detection is one of the challenging and interesting problems in machine learning. This is done using Tensorflow ,which is free open source library.

 Abstract

In the recent years, various efforts have been taken by individuals and the government to introduce a cashless system of making payments in the economy of India. Under this initiative, the government of India launched the �Digital India� campaign and encouraged the citizen of India to indulge in electronic methods of making payments. This was done in a two-fold manner; by introducing simpler platforms for on-the-go payments such as e-wallets and Unified Interface Payments, and by providing incentives to those indulging in electronic methods of payments in the form of discounts and cashbacks. As a result of these efforts taken by both private and public players in the market, the usage of cash has substantially reduced in the country. It has been commonly observed by various scholars and researchers that most developed economies transact on the electronic platform. This is majorly due to its network, speed and reliability. This paper aims to identify the relationship between digital payments and its impact on the economy of India. For the purpose of analysis debit and credit card transactions along with the more recently introduced UPI transactions have been considered. GDP at constant prices has been taken as the dependent variable. Data has been collected for the years 2011 to 2019. Analysis revealed that out of debit and credit card transactions, debit card transactions have a greater impact on the GDP of the country. UPI has not yet been developed and used enough to make a significant impact on the economic growth of the country.

Licensed establishments have the legal and moral responsibility of serving alcohol responsibly. Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) or Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) ensures that alcohol abuse and alcohol related harms are under control. While there has been extensive research done on the impact of RBS in controlling alcohol related harms, research on customer�s perception and attitude towards RBS is limited. Like any enforced social cause, there exists resistance towards accepting RBS by customers, especially when a server or bartender denies a customer further service of alcoholic beverages. This study attempts to examine the acceptance of responsible beverage service practices by customers and its influence on controlling alcohol abuse and intoxication. Survey questionnaire was administered to customers who frequent bars in star hotels. The responses were analyzed using SPSS 21 (Statistical Package for the Social Science). The results would shed light on what the customers thought was the best practices in RBS and would give the hospitality professionals insight to the most practical and effective ways of practicing RBS.

 Abstract

The present paper focuses on the study of representation of modern world particularly a twentieth century era which is full of disillusionment and disintegration has been very creatively penned down in critical and analytical mode in works of T.S. Eliot and Nirjan Bhagat. It is truly said that literature mirrored its society as it is. This paper deals with the impact of modern ethics on modern mind. Both the works sets an example of religious bankruptcy and sterility of modern world. The society which is chaotic and inhumane in every aspect is being presented through both the works in symbolic tone. Wasteland talks about arid land keeping in mind the Heart of England that is London in the same way Nirjan Bhagat�s �Pravalvdeep� deals with the most metropolitan city of India that is Bombay as he calls it �Adhunik Aranya�. Both the works throws light on urbanization, nothingness, rootlessness, spiritual and emotional degradation of generation. The consciousness of modern sterile world is shown by the great writers of Twentieth century throughout the world. It is unavoidable to point out that both writers are greatly influenced by classic works of previous ages such as Baudelaire, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Kavi Nanhalal and Sundram in manner of narrative and in narration of subject matter.

Recently many Cyber attacks have increased because of growing use of internet. Among all this the well-known cyber threat we find increasing day by day is phishing attacks. Phishing is where the victim�s credentials are obtained by an illegitimate website. The aim of these phishing websites is to acquire confidential information about username, password and banking credentials of the victim. Phishing websites look similar to the illegitimate website so the user can�t differentiate among them. This paper proposes a system which will detect old as well as newly generated phishing URLs that have completely no past behaviors to judge upon, using Data Mining. The main objective of this system is to develop a Chrome browser plugin that detects phishing sites in real-time while the user browses the page. The model will be trained with exhaustive dataset so that we can assure maximum accuracy.

Human action acknowledgment is confirmation to screen the human development and exercises by anticipating improvements. It is an inconvenient issue, as immense number of acknowledgments are made each second, the passing idea of the acumen, and the nonappearance of a reasonable technique to relate accelerometer information to know the turns of events. In this paper, an insightful human movement framework acknowledgment is created. . The information present here is observed from 30 volunteers old enough going from 19 to 48 years. Every individual was told to follow a convention of exercises ((WALKING, WALKING_UPSTAIRS, WALKING_DOWNSTAIRS, SITTING, STANDING, LAYING) while at the same time wearing a midriff mounted samsung system SII advanced cell. Using its embedded accelerometer and gyrator, we got 3-linearaly increasing speed up and 3-center point angular speed at a steady pace of 50Hz. The dataset determined has been subjectively allocated two individual sets, in which 70% of the volunteers was picked for making the readiness data and 30% the test data. This gives precision of about 96% for the substance data made out of 2947 models.

 Abstract

Engineering construction in this era is facing challenge of shortage of fresh water for mixing and curing. Since potable water has become a scarce in the planet, replacing seawater for fresh water in the construction of both Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) and Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) structure should be welcomed. But the major consequences faced by the concrete structure due to the use of seawater was corrosion and variation of strength characteristic. This project deals with the addition of a bacteria named Bacillus subtilis JC3 in the concrete mix, which is made up of seawater. This can reduce the adverse effects of seawater in the concrete structure. The Bacillus subtilis JC3 bacteria is usually used in waste management. The bacterial culture is added to the concrete with seawater. It shows self-healing mechanism when cracks are formed. It is due to the calcite precipitation by the bacteria. The bacterial concrete is shows better strength and durability than ordinary concrete mix. These bacteria can survive in adverse situations also.

Various organisations like schools, colleges, companies, etc., require to keep the daily record of their students/employees. Manual attendance maintaining is difficult process, especially for large group of students. Traditional face recognition systems employ methods to identify a face from the given input but the results are not usually accurate and precise as desired. Some automated systems developed to overcome these difficulties but they have drawbacks like cost, fake attendance, accuracy, intrusiveness, etc. To overcome these drawbacks, there is need of smart and automated attendance system. In this paper, we present Attendance System by using cascade classifier with real time video as an input. The working method of this system is entirely divided into six main modules. System will recognize one or more people captured in that video, this is taken as an output of this system. After recognition the attendance will marked and saved in database.

 Abstract

The concept of State Liability is one of the most useful aspects of law of tort where the victims can claim damages from the State due to the loss incurred by them from the act of the State while performing its functions. In British India the doctrine of �King can do no wrong� was adopted. The position of tortuous liability of the State in Independent India is quite similar to what was there under the Crown as Indian Constitution is mostly based on the Government of India Act 1935. So, as it prevailed in British India, the State was started to be given immunity from tortuous liability in Sovereign functions. Now, as there was no clear definition of sovereign functions and non-sovereign functions, the question was left to be decided by the judiciary which had to first decide the nature and type of function that the alleged servant of the State was discharging when the wrong was committed. These in turn gave rise to conflicting decisions in the past. With the passage of time the welfare activities of the State started increasing and with this it became difficult to differentiate the functions of State as Sovereign or Non-Sovereign. Hence, in this research work the researcher made an empirical study on tortious liability of State in India and tried to find out the remedies to remove the ambiguities in the present tort system in India on State Liability.

 Abstract

This paper attempts to explore female gender subjectivity in Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel,The Bride. Gender Politics plays a significant role in depicting male and female characters in literature. Female writers pen the characters of female in over exaltation and reveal degeneration of male counter parts. Similarly male authors inclined towards male characters and reflects patriarchy in their works. This paper would emphasize that genuine representation of male by women writers and female by men writers are not possible. The author’s gender subjectivity always influence the characters in his/her novel. Gender subjectivity is the main focus of this analysis and I have chosen Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel The Bride for gender analysis. This research paper will justify that gender, apart from biological sex , plays a vital role in determining characterization in the novel.
