 Abstract

Frequent itemset mining is important task in data mining domain. This is applicable in variety of applications such as market-basket analysis, browsing history analysis, transaction record analysis, etc. Lot of work has been done in the domain of co-occurrence pattern extraction and association rule mining. The existing system works on static dataset as an input. The proposed system focuses on temporal analysis of data and extracts co-occurrence patterns from dataset based on timestamp information. Each record in a dataset has it is own time information. Based on the time information data is sliced in 3 dimensional cube. The apriori algorithm is extended to work with time cube information data. Using time interval cubes, the co-occurrence of pattern is analyzed periodically and with certain time interval. For processing multiple time cube simultaneously, a multithreaded environment is proposed to improve system efficiency. To solve the overestimation problem, a density threshold value is checked for each time cube. The performance of system is tested on various dataset and its execution time and memory is compared with the existing approach.

 Abstract

Ecologically, insects occupy diverse niches and play many different roles important in sustaining the dynamics of ecosystem process. They could be herbivores (some are pests), predators and parasites (maintaining the population dynamics of herbivore insects), pollinators, decomposers and scavengers- each group or species within groups have distinct feeding habit. As such they are closely associated with the habitat and factors within it. It is evident that their impact is considerable, and that the known or potential value stored in their diversity should be preserved for the future. Knowledge of the diversity of insects in agro-ecosystems therefore becomes important. During this century, the practice of irrigating agricultural crops with sewage waters in rural and peri-urban areas of our Country is becoming a common practice. Such agro-ecosystems have low pH and high organic matter and due to accumulation of humus the soil is very good as far as cropping is concerned. In a way, it is natural organic farming. The present work therefore was undertaken to study the insect scenario (diversity and density) in some sewage irrigated agro-ecosystems in and around Bikaner, Rajasthan during an annual cycle documenting the data for seventeen months. In all, of the total 102 insect species noted, most number of 82 insect species was documented during January, May and September and minimum diversity of 54 insect forms was observed in the month of April. Over all, density wise maximum numbers of 670 insects (per trap) were documented during September and minimum density of 222 insects was observed in the month of April.

 Abstract

Architects of Indian constitution were eager to make the country sovereign stable, peaceful and to protect the human rights of people. Constitutional laws contributed a very pivotal role to make the country?s judicial system on right track for the sake of country?s present ground reality complex scenarios and the future has been made secured for our parliamentary system is based on upgrading or new constitutional laws. But controversial Article 370 has provided the Jammu and Kashmir state vast powers as the autonomous body which created many complex problems including threat of unity of the country and our government bifurcated the state into two successors �Union Territories� with additional limited aboriginal administrative powers under the Central Government. This Article was a �Temporary Provision� and it was essential to abrogate, modify and to eliminate this article. Article 370 has a historical background which does not emerge from legal or constitutional dimensions but it has complex political and religious dimensions which have impact on the international border highly complex issues between India and Pakistan. Pakistan government has been claiming over J&K since 1947. Dispute of L.A.C. �Line of Actual Control� around �No Men?s Land� and continue to complex issues of �Line of Control� with Pakistan have been going on since 1947, whereas China has been claiming on our land which is located near to Ladakh. The United Nation deliberates J&K to be disputed territory between Indo-Pak, but New Delhi, the status quo party, calls the recent legal changes an internal matter and it is usually opposing third �part involvement in the Kashmir issue. Since the beginning of this matter Article 370 Dr. B.R. Ambedkar the father of Indian constitution was totally disagreed in introducing this article in our constitution. In this Dissertation research work, abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian constitution is taken as an �Legal Analytical Study� where focusing the complex issues and matter of responsibilities in the making of Article 370 and its right implication, Division of State by The Union Govt., Distinct formation of High Court, Emergency Provisions as Temporary and Transition, Fundamental Rights and Ground Reality Scenarios under The Constitution of Indian and its Problem Solving Skills implementation on ground reality complex scenarios have impact on The Valley of Kashmir (Jammu -Kashmir and Ladakh) towards country?s peace and international stable and progressive relations. The hope is that the fine combination of Muslims (Kashmiris - One Divine Wisdom) and Buddhists (Ladakh from Tibet University - Lhasa) give us a unique culture and scope of advanced future enhancements to reshape the unstable country?s situations in peaceful, enlightened and advanced development under the umbrella of Indian Constitution.

 Abstract

Now a days, we can watch movies, videos on different video displaying devices ranging from mobile phone, iPods to high definition television displays. These devices have different size and resolutions. Movie contents often are manufactured in one resolution and consumed in other resolutions. Therefore it is necessary to convert video from one resolution format to other format which is compatible with particular display device. Converting video from lower resolution to higher resolution is known as video up scaling and converting video from higher resolution to lower is known as video down scaling. Video scaling is converting video from one resolution format to another, so that video will fit into target display. In this project we are converting video from QCIF, CIF format to VGA format using adaptive decision algorithm. Adaptive decision algorithm uses Spline interpolation for if difference between two adjacent pixels is more than threshold, and uses Nearest neighborhood if difference is less than threshold. QCIF format is widely used in mobile phone, iPod displays. VGA is well known computer monitor display format

 Abstract

Stem cell research is an emerging trend in the field of biotechnology. Stem cell is an immature cell that has capability to differentiate into a mature cell. These cells can be used to treat many incurable diseases. There are three types of stem cells. Embryonic stem cells (ESC), adult stem cells and core blood stem cells. ESC is the most imperative form of cells which are more versatile and flexible when compared to other forms of stem cell. ESC is derived from early stage of human embryo which is called blastocyst. These blastocyst has an outer layer of cells and inner cell mass which are pluripotent in nature. They can develop into different type of tissues in the human body. But extraction of such blastocyst makes the embryo non viable. This brings in many ethical and moral issues in the society. Many countries like UK, Belgium, India etc are supporting stem cell research. Many other countries like Austria, Italy etc are opposing these researches. In India initiatives are taken by the Government to promote stem cell researches. Yet patentability of ESC technologies are still debatable in our country. National Guidelines for Stem cell Research 2017 is being adopted by India. it seeks to facilitate safe, ethical and regulated research. Novelty, Inventive step and Industrial applications are the basic criteria for obtaining patent. Embryonic stem cell technologies qualify all the criteria. In India an invention should also qualify section 3 of Patent Act 1970. According to which an invention contrary to public order or morality cannot be patented. In this research paper the researcher has analyzed challenges in patenting ESC technology and provided positive solutions for the same. The researcher also studied the various frameworks set by different countries. The researcher has discussed the ethical issued involved in ESC technology.

 Abstract

A sprocket or sprocket-wheel is a profiled wheel with teeth, cogs or even sprockets that mesh with a Chain. The name 'sprocket' applies generally to any wheel upon which radial projections engage a chain passing over it. It is distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are never meshed together directly, and differs from a pulley in that sprockets have teeth and pulleys are smooth. Generally sprockets are made of mild steel. They exist in various dimensions, teeth number and are made of different materials. Sometimes faulty chains quickly wear the sprocket. Possible causes of this problem are significant overload, breakage, high impact pressure, excessive chain wear far beyond replacement level, combination of worn chain with new sprockets etc. To ensure efficient power transmission chain sprocket should be properly designed and manufactured. There is a possibility of weight reduction 0in chain drive sprocket. During this work, a study of designing optimization of sprocket using different processes and techniques will be studied. During this work the designing of chain sprocket, analysis will be done by using FEA.

 Abstract

Andrographis paniculata is a worldwide known medicinal plant grown mainly in India and China. It is being directly consumed as medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt an organic method of cultivation to maintain human health safety. In this study, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was collected from sweet water and water hyacinth (WH) based organic manure was used for the cultivation of Andrographis paniculata using pot assay. Water hyacinth imposes a threat to ecosystem balance and water quality. In the present study, eight treatments were implemented, from which the treatment with 25% water hyacinth and 75% chicken manure application at the rate of 10 tonnes /hectare(ha) provided promising results for growth improvement and yield than others. The maximum dry matter yield was found to be 1180 kg/ha with the application of WH and chicken manure(1:3), followed by 1134 kg/ha with the application of WH and chicken manure(1:1) when compared to other treatments. Also, the water hyacinth based organic manures have been tested for EC, pH, Total Organic Carbon, heavy metals, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to assure their quality before commencing experiments. In the view of the above observations, it is recommended to make use of the water hyacinth based organic manures for medicinal plants especially to ensure good yield and fertility of the soil.

In this paper, we introduce a new two parameter Alpha Logarithm Transformed Rayleigh (ALTR) distribution. A new method has been proposed to introduce an extra parameter to a family of distributions for more flexibility .The proposed family may be named as Alpha Logarithm Transformed Rayleigh. This can be obtained via reparameterizing the exponentiated Kumaraswamy G-logarithmic family and the alpha logarithmic family of distributions. The recommended distribution reveals increasing, decreasing and bath-shaped probability Density, Distribution and Hazard rate function and Survival function. Some distributional properties of new model are investigated which include the Density Function, Distribution Function (DF), Quantile Function(QF), Moments, Moment Generating Function (MGF), Cumulative Generating Function (CGF).

 Abstract

The Communicate Bond Belong (CBB) theory states that much everyday talk occurs in episodes. CBB theory specifies qualifying criteria for an episode. Frequently undertaking communication episodes is seen as realizing relational satisfaction. Gossip is a type of episode; literature specifies absent individual, evaluative content, and dimensions of context whose simultaneous occurrence transforms a social interaction into gossip. This study investigates the extent to which everyday talk occurs in episodes, and the extent to which gossip is an episode of social interaction. The study is conducted using mixed methods. Data collection adopts diary record as the tool. Data analysis is based on frequencies and interpretation. Findings show that evaluative content more than information about absent individuals describes gossip.

Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Survival rates for CDH neonates have increased with early prenatal detection and improved postnatal management. Aims and Objectives: To assess the Clinical profile, Risk factors for mortality and Analyze the Predictors affecting the Outcome at discharge for neonates with CDH. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted over a period of 03 years in a tertiary care in North Karnataka, India. Clinical characteristics and risk factors of 15 neonates diagnosed with CDH were compared between survivors and non-survivors. Neonates with clinical and intra operative diagnosis of diaphragmatic eventration were not included in this study. Results: A total of 15 neonates diagnosed with CDH were included. There was a significant difference between CDH neonates who survived (87%) and those who died (13%), in terms of onset of respiratory distress, preoperative ventilation, the presence of severe PPHN, maximum OI on day 1, surfactant administration, large defect size, intrathoracic liver, sepsis and length of hospital stay with (P < 0.05). The maximum OI on first day < 15 and absence of severe PPHN predicted the survival for CDH neonates. (P value<0.005). Conclusion: The overall survival rate among CDH neonates in our institutional experience was good. Risk factors for mortality include onset of respiratory distress, maximum OI > 15 on first day and need for preoperative ventilation. Maximum OI on first day < 15 and absence of severe pulmonary hypertension are good predictors of the survival for CDH neonates.

Herbs are the plants in which aromatic properties that are used as a flavouring & garnishing food, medicinal purposes or for various fragrances. Generally, herbs which are used in before the invention of writing and the documented history of medicine. It is also called as herbalism means which is a plant-based medicine. It is also called as a phytomedicine means which is produce from herbs. Herbal medicine which is produced from herbs is the oldest & still the most widely used systems in the current scenario. It is differing from conventional medicine. Today, herbal medicine is in great demand in developing as well as developed country for healthcare not because they are not costly/inexpensive but because they have wide range of acceptability, better compatibility &less side effects on the human. Hence, people which are from several countries are more attracted towards traditional Indian herbal medicines which is pure plant-based medicine. The herbal industry which shares with the growth of potential worldwide is about US$100 billion1`, the annual growth rate of about 15%. For last decades research efforts have been intensified in both developed and developing countries to evaluate using clinical trials on herbal drugs. In these communities, traditional medical practice is quite important & viewed as an integral part of their culture. So herbal medicines are often viewed as a balanced and moderate approach to healing the disease. Persons who use them as a medicine made with ingredients available at home as well as over-the-counter drugs will spend billions of dollars on herbal products & herbal medicines. They will represent a substantial proportion of the global drug market,1-5to achieve the desired benefit from herbal preparations or the herbal products, an individual must take the required dose over a certain length of time period. So, it is generally believed that most of the herbal preparations which is safe & effective for consumption & some herbs which are most biologically active substances could be toxic with undesirable side effects on human body.6

ABSTRACT This report covers a detail of project on optimization of process parametric analysis of surface finishing operation on metal, alloy using Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF), Alloy based material selected as a workpiece material (Magnesium alloy Az31b) and silicon carbide with iron powder as an abrasive material for cutting workpiece material. Details of Magnetic abrasive machining had been studied and basic setup for magnetic abrasive finishing on drill machine was developed. MAF is a non-conventional finishing process in which material is removed and finishing are performed concurrently by magnetic force which forcing the flexible magnetic abrasive particles (FMAP) across the workpiece surface. The process is manageable because the machining process is controlled only by the input current to the coil of solenoid (electromagnet). The process encirclements a wide range of feasible applications from critical aerospace, ceramics and medical components to high production bulks of parts. In the present investigation on MAF process, Taguchi design of experiments is applied to find out important parameters inducing the surface quality generated. Important parameters persuading the surface quality generated during the MAF are identified as: (i) voltage (DC) applied to the electromagnet, (ii) working gap, (iii) rotational speed of the workpiece, and (iv) abrasive particle size. MAF setup is designed for finishing workpieces and it is mounted on drill machine.
