 Abstract

Nowadays there is an ever increasing strain regarding the provision of clean, consumable water. This particular project aims to detect and display real-time physicochemical quality of the water in a much more cost effective manner, as opposed to the current methods which involve sampling and laboratory methods, through its wireless, multi-sensor network. It takes into consideration multiple factors and presents this real-time quality through the display of its electrical conductivity, pH, total dissolved solids TDS, turbidity, as well as temperature of water that is being tested. Additionally, this remote control system is specially designed for lakes, reservoirs, rivers etc. where we cannot monitor water quality in such complicated scale water environments by just using a stationary system because water parameters vary at every single location. To avoid this, we manufactured a boat which can float and move on the water simply by user controller. This structure is designed as a hull shape which minimizes the resistivity of water flow and this shape also maintains the stability of water. This water quality monitoring boat includes an embedded global positioning system GPS which gives the location of the point wherever water quality is varying and radio frequency module for wireless communication. All the results are generated and displayed with their readings and their graphical analogue meters through the graphical user interface GUI technique, along with water's impurities limitation points and its hazardous level notification. It is proven through various tests conducted in reservoirs, lakes and personal water storage tanks that this project is successfully capable of demonstrating these physicochemical parameters as well as displaying these.

 Abstract

Digital filters are systems that work with quantized, sampled input signals (digital signals) to accomplish filtering goals such as passing or rejecting specific bands of frequencies from the input signal bandwidth or allowing certain frequency ranges to pass at either a high or low frequency. An essential component of digital signal processing is the use of digital filters. Finite impulse response and infinite impulse response are the two types of digital filters that are employed. Among the design methods for the FIR filter are the windowing method and the distributed arithmetic algorithm. Vanshika Jain Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering ABES Engineering College Ghaziabad, India jainvanshika0708@gmail.com Analog filter- Any filter that operates on continuous-time signals to remove noise, allow certain frequency ranges to pass through or block them, or achieve other filtering objectives is called an analog filter. Digital Filter- A digital filter is a kind of filter that uses a digital input signal to perform filtering operations and produces a digital output signal. This approach employs various window functions like rectangular, triangular, hamming, hanning, and Kaiser Window to truncate the infinite impulse response (e.g., Sink signal) and obtain a finite impulse response. Distributed Arithmetic reduces the need for multiply-and accumulate (MAC) blocks. It employs a pipeline structure and a divided Look-Up-Table (LUT) method to enhance system speed and decrease memory requirements. The Distributed Arithmetic structure stores MAC values in LUTs, enabling the retrieval of values based on input data. This approach conserves hardware resources by replacing MAC units with LUTs, offering a more efficient implementation of FIR filters with significant resource savings.

 Abstract

This paper attempts to make an analysis on how women are depicted on Assamese folktales Burhi Aai Sadhu with reference to the Assamese tales like 'Tula Teja', 'Champawati', 'Silonir Jiyek' (The Kite's Daughter) and Tejimola. It aims to examine the concept of lagi(beloved) and alagi(not favourite) which is a result of male gaze. It also makes an analysis the concept of Aai(mother) and Mahi Aai(stepmother). Female objectification can be seen in 'Silonir Jiyek(The Kite's Daughter) where the Saudagar pleased by Tora's beauty decides to marry her after having seven wives already. This gives birth to a woman's hatred towards another woman that can be her husband's wife or her stepdaughter. This paper will also analyze how women suffer both physically and emotionally. It will also show women turning out to be their worst enemies in the midst of patriarchy. Tejimola is a clear indication of this hatred in a woman towards her stepdaughter. It can be observed that in Assamese folktales gender conflict is rare and instead it can be noticed that women themselves become rivalries.

 Abstract

Herbal medicine sometimes referred to as botanical medicine or herbalism it involves the use of plants or parts of plants to treat injuries or illness. Seeds, leaves, stems, bark, roots, flowers, and extracts of all of these have been used in herbal medicine over the millennia of their use. Some of the pharmaceutical medications on the market are extracts of some of these traditional herbs. The lower cost, and often safer use, has attracted many medical professionals. Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history. Ancient Chinese and Egyptian papyrus writings describe medicinal uses for plants. Indigenous cultures (such as African and Native American) used herbs in their healing rituals, while others developed traditional medical systems (such as Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine) in which herbal therapies were used.

 Abstract

Global biodiversity is progressively declining. The current rate of extinction is greatly influenced by both direct and indirect human action. Future biodiversity protection depends on our ability to identify plants accurately and comprehend their spatial distribution. Therefore, the management and study of biodiversity depend heavily on the prompt and accurate identification of plants. Various plant features are used as identification keys by botanists throughout the manual identification procedure. Then, in order to identify different plant species, these keys are gradually and adaptively analysed. By answering a series of questions about one or more characteristics of an unknown plant (such as shape, colour, number of petals, presence of thorns or hairs), an identification key user is essentially focusing on the most distinctive aspects and decreasing the number of features that the plant has in common.
