Title :: Plane Strain Deformation of an Elastic Half-Space Due to a Rectangular Thermal Inclusion
Country :: India
Authors :: Renu Muwal || Kuldip Singh
Page No. :: 07-14

In the present work, closed form analytical solutions for the displacement and strain fields due to a rectangular thermal inclusion in the interior of an isotropic elastic half-space are obtained. The thermoelastic displacement potential functions are used to determine the two dimensional plane strain deformation of an elastic half-space within the framework of steady-state linear uncoupled thermoelasticity. The thermal displacement field is generated due to differences in the coefficients of linear thermal expansion between a subregion and the surrounding material. The analytical expressions for the displacement and strain fields are derived for displacement free boundary conditions.

Keywords: Uncoupled linear thermoelasticity, rectangular inclusion, potential functions, displacement and strain fields, isotropic half-space.

Sludge is a residual semi-solid bi-product after treatment of water or wastewater by many ways. Management and disposal of water treatment sludge observed as a problem by municipalities and industries. This study investigates the characteristics of sludge using electrochemical treatment (ECT) for optimum operating conditions of 16 V cell voltage, 4 electrodes; As0(III) 1.6 mg/L; F-0 12 mg/L, electrolysis time (ET) 45 min for Fe1-Fe2-Fe3-Fe4 (FFFF) and Fe1-Fe2-Al3-Fe4 (FFAF) electrode combinations for simultaneous removal of arsenite and fluoride from groundwaters. ECC sludge was subjected to proximate analysis and other physico-chemical characteristics such as SEM, EDAX, XRD, TCLP and Calorific value. The TCLP test showed that ECC sludge is non- toxic in nature for various reuse options..............

Title :: Wind power estimation of three locations of Tangier-Tetouan region
Country :: MOROCCO
Authors :: Hind Sefian || Fatima Bahraoui || Zuhair Bahraoui
Page No. :: 44-50

It is very important to analyze the wind characteristics of a region in order to acquire the maximum wind potential from the site, since wind speed fluctuates rapidly over time, some critical errors might occur between the estimated and the actual energy output. The main objective of this study is to improve the predictability of wind generation, these include to propose a probabilistic prediction approach of the moment of appearance of these variations. In this perspective, we will carry out a comparison between three sites in Morocco to arrive at an accurate location, in order to size a wind farm.

Title :: Comparative Analysis of Regression Test Case Optimization Techniques
Country :: India
Authors :: Sandeep Dalal || Sudhir
Page No. :: 51-59

Viability of testing remains lower than desires, even after the extensive research to develop efficient testing techniques to enhance the quality of the product. Although testing is very costly and time -consuming activity, still there is no substitute for testing as it is the only way to achieve software quality. It is not feasible to completely and exhaustively test a software due to cost and time constraints. Therefore, even after usage of maximum efforts and efficient testing techniques, there is no guarantee of producing a bug-free software. Regression testing is a necessary evil associated with software testing as it ensures that modifications in software do not introduce fresh bugs in system...........

Page No. :: 60-69

Performance enhancement of symmetrical services in mobile communication has been very essential today owing to the widespread acceptance and demand of these services in the present generation communication systems. The resource allocation problem formulated for an LTE system is a constrained multiobjective optimization problem and is solved using dual technique. The objectives of the problem is to maximize the data rate of individual user for joint direction of LTE system, on considering fairness as a constraint conjointly maintaining the difference in data rates within a specified limit, when interferences is also taken into account. The multiobjective problem is converted into a single objective optimization problem using the weighted sum approach. Performance results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed allocation scheme for such applications.

Keywords- Dual decomposition, fairness, joint direction, multiobjective optimization, resource allocation.

Country :: India
Authors :: Dr. P. Praveen kumar || MS. R. Reshma
Page No. :: 70-73

The execution of corporate governance will lend support towards extension of the existing norms. The corporate governance previously where done as a regulatory function and was attached in the midst of Companies' Act 2013. The corporate governance was installed for the assistance of internal and external stakeholders. This would harmonize the affiliations among the stakeholders. The decisions for a mixture of matters could be made in a wise manner. The transparency regarding the business dealings can be accomplished through proper installation of corporate governance. This study interviewed 23 professionals of petroleum industry about the establishment of corporate governance practices. Later, questionnaire also distributed to them. Results of both in-depth interview and data analysis indicate a similar result that petroleum industry has established corporate governance practices. In addition to that petroleum industries are funding for other organizations also.

We examined support for shape creation by use of a support vector machine (SVM), which is one type of machine learning utilized as a solution in various fields. In the present study, we conducted basic research on SVM, applied discrimination hyperplane generation by SVM learning, and described a method leading to shape creation. We clarified how box constraint parameters in SVM shape derivation using Gaussian kernel affect the discrimination hyperplane.

Authors :: Dr.P.Srimanchari || Dr.G.Anandharaj
Page No. :: 78-81

This work introduces a set of scalable algorithms to identify patterns of human daily behaviors. These patterns are extracted from multivariate temporal data that have been collected from smartphones. We have exploited sensors that are available on these devices, and have identified frequent behavioral patterns with a temporal granularity, which has been inspired by the way individuals segment time into events. We briefly introduce the basics of related research topics, review state-of-the-art approaches, and present some preliminary thoughts on future research directions. This paper proposes a fusion of three different data models like relational, semantically, and big data based data and metadata involving their issues and enhanced capabilities.
