 Abstract

Abstract Norms could be a scale that allows conversion from raw score to a score capable of comparison and interpretations. Norms are representative of some larger population. Skill related fitness has six components namely power, speed, agility, balance, coordination and reaction time. All these components are playing important role during sports activities. Power is the ability to employ a maximum force in as short a time as possible as in accelerating, jumping and throwing implements. Power is the ability to pass the body parts promptly while applying the maximum force of the muscles. Power is a composite of both speed and muscular strength. There are so many tests to measure power of an individual. But the researcher took Standing Broad Jump test to measuring leg explosive power of the school students. Objective of the present study were- 1. to construct norms in standing broad jump test of boys students, 2. to construct norms in standing broad jump test of girls students. 3. to measure leg explosive power of school students. Highly positive correlations were found during testing Validity and Reliability of the test item. Total 800 girls and 1000 boys� samples were collected from various schools in West Bengal ages between 9-14 years. After collection of data a percentile norms were prepared for boys and girls students. Percentile norms were prepared according to age group and sex wise.

 Abstract

Processing of a digital image by the use of computer algorithm is usually referred as digital image processing. Image filtering is one of the very useful techniques in image processing and computer vision. It is used to remove some unwanted signals capture the image and termed as noise . Digital filters are an integral part of signal processing which help us to remove the frequencies which are of less importance or considered unwanted, also termed as noise sometimes. Thus the digital image filtering technique is frequently used to eliminate noise. Generally image filters follows software approach in systems. But hardware implementation prefered in comparison with software implementation for better processing speed. With a boost in the VLSI technology hardware implementation has given a better choice. This project presents the design of a new hardware accelerator, filtering the input data using Gabor and Box functions and dedicated to image processing. The proposed design obtains a great reduction in terms of resources compared to other state-of-the-art implementations. In this work, a comparative study on FPGA implementation of both the Gabor filter and Box filter is presented. Simulation and Synthesis is done using Xilinx ISE design suite. Verilog code will be used as a description language for mapping algorithm in VLSI and hardware implementation on SPARTAN-3 FPGA.

 Abstract

Nowadays use of big manned helicopters and other aerial vehicles could be replaced for some applications by UAV�s, this makes the applications become cheap and accessible. This also helps in economy and risk of operation of the aerial vehicles. UAV�s have been widely used for the purposes like disaster scouting, supplying medical aids and extreme rescue operations and they could prove themselves far worthy and economical than its counterpart. This Hexacopter for Controlling Crowd focuses on the navigational capabilities of the Hexacopter system and how well it could be made to move between locations and control the crowd. The performance of the platform was sufficiently upgraded, allowing it to be operated in a much more precise, controlled manner which would have been needed for our intended applications. The UAV designed and developed is a multirotor with six propellers (technically called as hexa-copter). It can vertically take-off and land with the purpose to take aerial surveillance and control the crowd. Understanding and dealing with safety aspects of crowd dynamics in mass gatherings of people related to sports, religious and cultural activities is very important, specifically with respect to crowd risk analysis and crowd safety. In this regard, efficient monitoring and other safe crowd management techniques have been used to minimize the risks associated with such mass gathering. An example of these techniques is real-time monitoring of crowd using a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). In this paper, a crowd monitoring system has been proposed and tested using a bomb dropping technique i.e a smoke granite with be launched in order to control crowd. This paper also presents the non-radiative method of wireless power transmission technology to be applied for the battery charging system of drones which refers to unmanned aerial vehicles. This wireless charging system enables the continuous charging and efficient duties to overcome the limits and the time allocation, where the hexacopter will move to the designated location. The DC-DC converter system capable of charging 100W class transceiver and drone battery through the inductance mapping of the transmitter and receiver in the frequency band of 13.56Mhz, changing the shape and position of the transmitting and receiving antenna, the efficiency was confirmed to be more than 50%. Therefore, if the unmanned charging system is used for this hexacopter, it is possible to increase the utilization of the hexacopter by the efficient arrangement of the duty range and can be maintained by the present power source. The main goal is to reduce the required human resource and time in controlling the crowd. The advantage of this is an increased capability at low cost and at lower risk in terms of cost and safety.

 Abstract

Food production has to increase from 247 to 494 m MT (AD 2050) to feed the ever increasing Population of India. Increase in cultivated area will not add much to this requirement. (Possible increase only 2 m ha from the present 143 m ha). Converting rain-fed crops to irrigation cover (Partial or Full) is the only way out (79 to 146 m ha). Gross Water Requirement increases to 1200 BCM from the present 700 BMC. Available water remain at 1137 BCM. Water deficit will force us to take extreme measures by 2030-2050. Before that happens conservation of water would help us survive better. Irrigation is the largest water user (+ 83%). Reducing water use in irrigation by increasing use efficiency will generate more water for irrigating more land area. Rice is the most important global food crop. Year-to-year fluctuations in its production have a direct bearing on food security and on price inflation in the world market. Given its continuing population growth, India should be producing 1.7 million tonnes of additional rice every year to ensure national food security (Dass and Chandra, 2013). Hence, there is a need to increase sustainably the yields and productivity of rice cultivation, doing this to the extent possible with reduced inputs and with less exploitation of natural resources to feed the increasing global population. This is a challenge for rice-growing countries around the world. Integration of Drip irrigation technology to the field of rice cultivation is the best way to achieve higher productivity with least water use. The results of studies on the justification of the combination of controllable factors of growth and development of rice, providing the usage of drip irrigation to obtain yields 5, 6 and 7 t/ha of grain are observed. During the investigations were determined the reaction norms of periodically watered rice on the various options for the water regime of the soil and to ensure their regulations irrigation, fertilizer application rates. The proposed irrigation technology can reduce the cost of irrigation water in the cultivation of rice in the 2.0-5.6 times in comparison with the traditional, and bring the total water consumption of this culture to a biologically sound one.

 Abstract

Hypertension is the most common medical condition nowadays and it is the main disease the predisposes to other Cardiovascular, renal, cerebrovascular diseases. This study is a prospective observational study aimed at knowing the patients knowledge and awareness of hypertension and also focused on the assessment of evidence based medical treatment of the hypertension using a questionnaire and literature review. About 60% of the management of hypertensive condition, evidence based medicine method was practiced still needed to apply more. Subject�s Knowledge and awareness on hypertension is comparatively less. Thus management of the conditions shouldn�t be confined to the treatment plan but also on the subject�s knowledge and awareness on the condition is essential for effective medication adherence and improving quality of life.

ABSTRACT Inclusive education also seen as an international agenda, partly running parallel to the objective of education for all ( Srivastwa 2003; Miles and Singal 2010).India also has been trying to incorporate the international commitments into its domestic law and has developed its own policy related to education for children with disabilities ( Sing A.K 2008).Autism disorders are life-long neurodevelopment disabilities with onset before 36 months and are characterized by: Impairments in reciprocal social interactions and in verbal and non-verbal communication skills, stereotyped behavior, interests and activities etc. This disorder represents an abnormality of brain development and function, appearing within the first three years of life. Although the detailed causal mechanism(s) are not known, autism is likely to have multiple etiologies including genetic factors. A range of studies have found that in 10 - 37% of cases, it may be an associated medical condition (e.g. tuberous sclerosis)In the late 1970s, there were a few centers in India that were diagnosing children with autism. A study conducted in the mid-1990s found that many of the older adolescents and young adults who received a diagnosis of autism could be traced to just a few professionals, and those with diagnoses before 1980 had received the diagnosis from abroad (Daley, 2004). Much of the diagnosis was dependent on individual professionals, and knowledge amongst the wider medical community remained limited. In 2000, a boy with autism from Bangalore, Tito Mukkhopadhaya, published his first book, �Beyond the Silence: My life, the world and autism�. The book includes writings from when he was between eight and eleven years old, which brought international attention to Tito and his mother�s methods for teaching him. Recently, internet list servers have expanded the Diasporas of Indian families with autistic children to dozens of countries around the world. Due to limited studies and literature available in this area of education, through this paper I am trying to gain attention of educators for inclusive education for Autism in India.

 Abstract

This paper deals with the integration of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Value Engineering (VE) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) planning process. Quality function Deployment enhances the product/service performance on the basis of customer�s requirements, whereas Value engineering focuses on the reduction of product/service costs without decreasing its quality or performance. The integration of QFD and VE both will lead to the decrease of costs and improvements of product/service or performance. In this paper firstly a conceptual idea of integrating these two techniques is provided and after that its implementation procedures are described in detail. The integration of quality function deployment and value engineering was analyzed in the product planning process. For this aim a conceptual model was developed. The application stages were also clarified. In fact the planned Model was an QFD & V.E integration ,in which the whole QFD process is not completely implemented rather its first two phases ,that is the product projection and product planning are carried and a list of results along with their value is got from the house of quality. The V.E process is not implemented completely either, rather the solutions and their relative values are entered from the second quality house into the second phase of Value engineering .During the design stage, lot of information is gathered and analyzed to back up the decision making process which will lead to the synthesis of products. The objective of the paper is focusing on mainly two things. Firstly, I seek to take the QFD and VE methodology one step further and apply it to propose a stakeholder-based design for the NICU facilities. Secondly, I demonstrate the outcomes of the QFD and VE methodology in the NICU design. I have started with the NICU not only because of its importance but also for its complexity which makes it a challenging quest. I have then implemented the House of Quality (HoQ) methodology in order to obtain an improved design over the existing ones. In doing so, I have made use of some of the most commonly used international standards (IS). This paper intends to give a more balanced review of Quality Function Deployment and Value Engineering that shows enough depth to be valuable to researchers as well as enough scope to provide for the readers.

 Abstract

Briquette making machine is designed to make burnable bio waste into desirable size logs by using appreciable reins as binder. These logs can further be used as fuel. Bio waste involves dry leaves; saw dust, rice husk and even some household waste. Usually, bio wastes are dumped in large landfills where they are decomposed. During the decomposition these waste release many gases like CARBON MONO OXIDE (CO), which are hazardous to the environment and human. But burning them will affect the nature much as they undergo complete combustion releasing CARBON DI OXIDE (CO2), which is less poisonous compared to carbon mono oxide. It is even easy to handle and low cost.

The aim of the study was to study the nutritional practices of female football players. The nutritional intake of 24 female football players of Kurukshetra University Kurukshetra was recorded by the players them self for a period of one week. Participants were provided with written and verbal guidelines for the completion of the diaries. During this one week period the training imparted to the players were also recorded. This was used in combination with BMR predictions to calculate daily energy expenditure. Results suggest that energy intake was low (1735 � 250.4 kcal) in relation to previous recommendations for football players. Energy expenditure (1915.6 � 410.4 kcal) was not significantly different (p > 0.05) from intake, suggesting energy balance was achieved. Carbohydrate (47.6 � 5.4%), protein (12.6 � 1.9%) and fat (22.7 � 5.4%) intakes were in line with recommendations. Fluid intake (2150 � 847.7 ml per day) was sufficient to meet baseline recommendations, but would need to be higher to meet the additional requirement of training and competition. With the exception of vitamin A and iron, all micronutrient intakes were higher than the DRI. With the help of this study it is recommended that female football players should increase the intake carbohydrate and take more fluid and ensure sufficient iron rich foods to meet out the required intake volume.

Background: Most of the medicine users remain unaware about the disposal of unused and expired medicines. The aim of this study was to know the disposal practices of this unused and expired medications in general public in south Delhi. Method: This was a descriptive cross sectional survey conducted online by using a pre-validated questionnaire. The responses collected were checked for accuracy and SPSS version 23 was used for the statistical analysis. Result: Response from a total of 393 individuals was collected. The respondents belonged to different professions. The study found that the majority of respondents, about 93% of them, had some kind of unused and expired medication while about 80% of the respondents admitted to stocking of medicines for future use. Among the respondents 14% said that they have unused medication because there was a change of medication and 28% said that they shared their medication with friends and family. 82% of the respondents discarded the unwanted medications in to the dustbins. Almost the entire sample (98%) felt that improper disposal of unused and expired medication can have an adverse effect on the environment. Conclusion: The study indicates that the level of awareness among the general population of south Delhi regarding the disposal practices of unwanted medications is low, and there is a need for an appropriate method for disposal of unwanted medication. Hence, guidelines on safe methods of collection and disposing of unused medication needs to be introduced.

Abstract The study examined the integration and appropriateness of BIS/BAS scales (Carver and White, 1994) in the light of different personality context of Indian working women. A behavioral dimension of motivational theory focuses mainly two types of behavior; behavioral approach system (BAS) is regulated by immediate urge or hedonic motives, in which satisfaction comes when one reach towards goals. A behavioral avoidance (or inhibition) system (BIS) represents the avoidance motives, in which some unpleasant mental position distracts them from actual goal. This, depend up on the individual differences at different levels in the consideration of these systems. The high and low margin of BIS/BAS scale represents the psychology of human behavior in different situation and resulting the dimension of behavioral variability from approach to avoidance. The association between BIS/BAS concept evaluates the two extremes between �good� and �bad.� This study would seem to analysis the personality profile and also a variety of association including links with self to a sense of positivity versus negativity. It is also important to examine the characteristics of task and the extent to which stimulates responsive versus potential restrain.

 Abstract

Education in its broadest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual and in its technical sense education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, values, and skills from one generation to another through institutions. The major purpose of science education is to increase the flow of specialist scientists, technologists and engineers, it could be argued that young people with a special talent in science should be identified as early as possible and provided with a separate, specialised, and highly focused science education and this identification must start right from the senior school level. Despite this identification we are still facing major problems in Science Education at Senior Secondary Level. Today's gender gap in education often focuses on the advantage males have over females in science and math, but fails to recognize the falling behind of males to females in literacy. So in this study we need to look out for the various reasons for such decline and the possible solutions to overcome this gender stereotypes in order to build a meaningful Scientific Society consisting of both female and male scientists as this discrimination on the basis of sexes is the possible hindrance in the National Development. This paper is an attempt to find out the main drawbacks in the learning outcomes among Goverment School Students which are withholding them to opt Science as their future career option.
