 Abstract

Farming is perhaps the main financial movement. India's economy is intensely founded on horticulture, with around 75% of the provincial populace relying on agribusiness as their essential pay, 84% of which are little and peripheral ranchers. Soybean crop is among principle business crop. Creepy crawly irritations are one of the fundamental elements influencing rural item yield. Exact acknowledgment of bug bothers works with convenient preventive measures to stay away from financial losses. Pest discovery is a significant test in the field of horticulture. In any case, an inordinate utilization of pesticide is hurtful to plants, creatures and individuals. We utilize different methods of Computer Vision and Deep Learning to take care of this issue. Pictures of the yield influenced by these nuisances and creepy crawlies are gained and utilized as a preparation dataset for the convolution neural network model for highlight extraction, since the current strategies depend on manual grouping by the ranchers, which is a monotonous, tedious and debilitating cycle. This can be computerized utilizing the innovation of deep learning, which is favorable as it is reasonable and moderate as far as arrangement and force utilization.

 Abstract

The improvement of the performance of heat exchangers with gas as the working fluid becomes particularly important due to the high thermal resistance offered by gases in general. In order to compensate for the poor heat transfer properties of gases, the surface area density of plate heat exchangers can be increased by making use of the triangular fins. In addition, a promising technique for the enhancement of heat transfer is the use of longitudinal vortex generators. The longitudinal vortices are produced due to the pressure difference generated between the front and back surface of the vortex generator. The longitudinal vortices facilitate the exchange of fluid near the walls with the fluid in the core and hence, the boundary layer is disturbed. It causes the increase in temperature gradient at the surface, which leads to the augmentation in heat transfer. An innovative design of triangular shaped fins with rectangular or a delta wing vortex generator mounted on their slant surfaces for enhancing the heat transfer rate in plate-fin heat exchanger is proposed. The performance of the proposed design is evaluated for different flow rate of hot fluid and cold fluid of the wing and constant bath temperature boundary condition. The study is being carried out for wing vortex generator to the fin surface by brazing.. The flow regime is assumed to be laminar because, usually the fin spacing is so small and the mean velocity is such that the Reynolds numbers of interest are below the critical Reynolds number. The working fluid considered is air and water. At higher Reynolds numbers, more fluid passes through the channel in the same interval which causes a reduction in the value of mean temperature. Combined span wise average Nusselt number is computed by averaging the local Nusselt numbers all around the periphery. In the downstream direction, the temperature of the fluid increases and so the combined span wise average Nusselt number decreases continuously for the plate-triangular fin without any vortex generator. The churning action mixes the fluid near the surface with the comparatively colder fluid in the core region. It increases the temperature gradient near the walls and hence, the combined span wise average Nusselt number increases. The heat transfer enhancement can reduce the size of the heat exchanger for a given heat load or exit temperature. The only price to be paid for enhancing heat transfer using longitudinal vortex generators is the additional pumping power required to force the fluid through the heat exchanger. This quantity is also computed to confirm that the increase is sufficiently small. The analysis is also carried out by varying the size of the wings and using the in-line arrangement of the wings.

The aim of this project is to demonstrate a digital watermarking scheme using visual cryptography for copyright protection of a digital image. A binary image, called watermark, is split into two shares via a 2-out-of-2 visual secret sharing scheme. Then, one of the shares called the master share is extracted from the host image using a fixed pseudo-random point, and the other share also known as ownership share, made by relating the master share and the watermark, is held by the owner which is also given to an authorized 3rd party copyright verifier. Based on the security property of visual cryptography, the two shares on their own cannot leak any information about the watermark. The experimental results show that even after the image was modified, the invisible watermark was successfully extracted from it.

 Abstract

Arbitration is the process of dispute settlement through agreed individual or group if individual done in a private setting after considering evidences and contentions of the parties involved. It is similar to a court trial but is speedy and less formal. Individual or group of individual chosen by the parties to mediate the dispute is/are called Arbitrator/s. Arbitrator is an individual who is neutral to the dispute and has been vested with the power of making binding decision on the parties involved. Alternative dispute resolution processes are gaining immense amount of popularity due to their non-orthodox approach, which gives the advantages of efficacy and consensual decision making. Considering the ever increasing pendency of the cases with the Judiciary of India which has surged 8.6% and drastic shortage of governmental institutes and officials to address them, Arbitration is seen to gain momentum over time. Main reason of why people are avoiding the hassle of litigation is because of its time consuming nature. These factors are pushing people aggrieved with civil wrongs like contractual disputes, towards alternative dispute resolution or Arbitration which comes under the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996 ("Arbitration Act").

In this paper Design and energy Consumption Issues in wireless Sensor network is focussed. Energy consumption is the most important factor to determine the life of a sensor network because usually sensor nodes are driven by battery. Sometimes energy optimization is more complicated in sensor networks because it involved not only reduction of energy consumption but also prolonging the life of the network as much as possible. The optimization can be done by having energy awareness in every aspect of design and operation. This ensures that energy awareness is also incorporated into groups of communicating sensor nodes and the entire network and not only in the individual nodes.

Submerged floating tunnel is an innovation which introduces a new trend in transportation engineering. It provides a fast and easy access of transportation where the conventional methods are not applicable. SFT is adopted when the water bed is too deep, rocky and highly undulated where submerged tunnels and bridges are not economical. SFT is based on principle of buoyancy and they are acted upon by different loads. Hence SFT is to be designed for desired strength, stiffness and durability. Since SFT is not constructed till now, the design analysis is difficult. Various researches were conducted to analyze SFT under different environmental, accidental and varying loads. Continuous evaluation and inspection of the structure is required to eliminate the chances of damages. Proper repairing and replacements are to be done without affecting the working of the structure to increase the life span of SFT.

In recent years Power Quality has become an important issue for both utilities and customers. The increasing use of power quality sensitive equipment forced the distribution utilities to adopt a new method for continuously monitors the power quality of grid. Poor power quality may cause overheating of lines, inaccurate metering, and reduced efficiency of appliances. This dissertation proposes a new method to classify certain power quality disturbances. The power quality disturbances such as voltage sags, voltage swells, and voltage interruptions will be considered under study. In this dissertation work simulation of an electrical power system with power quality disturbances is done in MATLAB Simulink. Capturing of voltage signal is done for analyzing the power quality disturbances. The simulation results are further analyzed for the classification of power quality disturbances using MATLAB programming. The captured voltage signals are decomposed by using the signal processing techniques namely Wavelet transform. The estimation of statistical parameters is done from the decomposed signals for feature extraction. The extracted features are further used to classify the disturbances using soft computing techniques namely KNN. The proposed Wavelet-KNN approach classify these frequently occurring power quality disturbances accurately and with less computational complexity

 Abstract

The challenging process industry requires true power for its smooth functioning and here comes the importance of good power or power. The term Power Quality (PQ) aims at supplying true power to the process. The scope of the power quality increased with the introduction of newly designed sophisticated devices like computers and microcontrollers. The performances of these devices are extremely sensitive to the various power quality problems. The mainly occurring PQ problems are voltage sag, voltage swell, voltage flickers, harmonics distortions etc. The concept of power quality became increasingly complex and vital with the introduction of recently designed sophisticated and sensitive devices, whose real time performance is extremely subjective to sensitiveness of the supply. Power Quality (PQ) has turned to be a serious issue to electricity consumers at all levels. Power quality is a major concern to electricity consumers today. The sensitivity factor of the power electronic equipment and non-linear loads to the input excitations voltages are widely used in process control as well as individual consumers which lead to the PQ problem. The paper gives a brief review in accordance with relevant literature surveys classifies the various electric power quality disturbances using wavelet transform analysis. The survey includes detection voltage disturbances and categorization of the type of event. The power quality analyzer is designed and used to measure the occurrence and classification of PQ events. Malfunction of the equipment will happens when the power failure occurs. Several signal processing techniques for the detection and classification of these disturbances are studied and discussed here. The detection techniques are mainly based on signal averaging, RMS method, Kalman Filter method, Fourier Transforms, Wavelet Transforms etc. Wavelets and fast Fourier transforms are of major importance in the classification.
