Title :: Using ontologies within the knowledge interpretation
Country :: Slovakia
Authors :: KatarínaZábovská || Boris Bučko || Michal Zábovský
Page No. :: 01-03

The most intuitive form of description of the world for people is natural language. Situations, relationships, real or abstract objects are assigned to expressions (words, phrases), by which they distinguish between them. The advantage of natural language is the ability to describe the object for which we do not know the exact phrase, by combining familiar words. We tend to use native language to describe world around us. But what happens when we try to extract information from the written sources? We soon realise that we need to identify the context based on relationships between the written expressions. This paper considers using ontology for knowledge interpretation.

Keywords: Descriptive logic, knowledge, knowledgebase, ontology.

Title :: A Machine Learning Approach to Effective Patient Flow Prediction Using IMCP and DCM Framework
Country :: India
Authors :: Basmath.P || Ramesh Kumar.B
Page No. :: 04-11

Over the past decade due to increasing the population Overcrowding in emergency care unit (CU) departments is a problem in many countries. This overcrowding which leads reduces the quality of care and increases medical errors. Generally predicting the transition processes of patients (PFP) is more difficult and crucial process. The field of data mining has involved in those domains to predict Patient Flow effectively. The previous studies have used several features to predict Patient Flow, which has been collected from patient‟s hospital data. The main drawbacks of the previous studies are that need accurate and more number of features to effectively predict the patient flow and this system can only apply in discrete time series................

Title :: Model Tests on Soft Soil Stabilized with Geotextile Reinforcement
Country :: India
Authors :: S. Siva Gowri Prasad || P.V.V.Satyanarayana
Page No. :: 12-16

Stone column technique is proven to be the most suitable ground improvement technique for improving the soft soils. Out of other methods, stone columns technique is the most effective method for flexible structures like embankments, oil storage tanks etc. Soft soils stabilized with stone columns can be further improved by reinforcing the column with any geosynthetic material. In this study, Silica-Manganese slag mixed with Sand was used as the stone column material to improve the soft marine clay and geotextile material was used to reinforce the stone columns. This geotextile was made into circular discs and placed within the stone column horizontally at a spacing of 50mm (equal tothe diameter "D" of the stone column). The results indicate that the soft soil can be improved with the stone column and can be further stabilized with the geotextile reinforcement.

Page No. :: 17-25

Cloud computing provides promising scalable dynamic infrastructure to maintain various processing of a variety of big data real time applications in sectors such as healthcare and business and other area. Data sets like electronic health records in such applications often contain privacy-sensitive information, which brings about privacy concerns potentially shared to third-parties in cloud. Privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) refers seeks to preserve sensitive information from unsolicited or unsanctioned disclosure. Protecting the individual privacy within the sensitive data is becoming a prominent research focus data in big data environment. Local-Recoding Anonymization plays major role in privacy preservation. Data anonymization refers to hiding identity of sensitive data so that the privacy of an individual is effectively preserved. Most of the existing privacy model fails to maintain effective privacy Preservation due to their insufficiency or poor scalability..............

Page No. :: 26-32

Graph Processing System (GPS) is one of the open-source systems. It gives the advantages like scalability, fault-tolerance and easy program execution. The GPS is similar to the Google's proprietary systems such as pregel and apache giraph.Therefore, memory usage patterns emerge as a primaryconcern in distributed graph processing.Obtainingeffective memory optimization in vertex-centric distributed environment is critical and most of the existing research failed to obtain it. In existing system, the field of data mining has involved in those domains to optimize thememory in Distributed Graph Processing.Those techniques cannot achieve high optimization and this technique cannot apply for Real-World Graphsanalytics. The study proposes a Sequence Single-source Shortest Paths along with Enhanced RedBlackTreeEdgesdata mining framework andCBIIMframework to improve the Memory Optimization in Distributed Graph Processing.

Authors :: Agnieszka Dardzinska || Anna Kasperczuk || Osman Gürdal
Page No. :: 54-56

This paper presents the method binding statistical and data mining techniques, which aims to sup-port the decision-making process in selected diseases in digestive systems. Currently, there is no precise diagno-sis for these two diseases: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Specialist physicians must exclude many other diseases occurring in the colon. The first goal of this study is a retrospective analysis of medical data of patients hospitalized in the Department of Gastroenterology and Internal Diseases and finding the symptoms differentiating the two analyzed diseases. The second goal is to build a system that clearly points to one of the diseases UC or CD, which shortens the time of diagnosis and facilitates the future treatment of patients. The work focuses on building a model that can be the basis for the construction of classifiers, which are one of the basic elements in the medical recommendation system.

Title :: Reduction of Harmonic Distortion in Buck Boost Voltage/Current Source Inverter Using Space Vector Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation
Country :: India
Authors :: E.Sarath Chandra Reddy
Page No. :: 57-66

This paper proposes a space vector pulse width amplitude modulation (SVPWAM) method for a buck–boost voltage/current source inverter. For a voltage source inverter, the switching loss is reduced by 87%, compared to a conventional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) method. For a current source inverter, the switching loss is reduced by 60%. In both cases, the power density is increased by a factor of 2 to 3. In addition, it is also verified that the output harmonic distortions of SVPWAM is lower than SPWM, by only using one-third switching frequency of the latter one. As a result, it is feasible to use SVPWAM to make the buck–boost inverter suitable for applications that require high efficiency, high power density, high temperature, and low cost. Such applications include electric vehicle motor drive or engine starter/alternator.

In the present study, the shape of the absorber tube of parabolic trough collector is modified and a fin is employed inside the absorber tube to improve the heat transfer. The regular circular absorber tube is replaced with a parabolic absorber tube. The distribution of solar flux over the absorber tube is calculated by using the Monte Carlo ray tracing method. Finite volume approach is used to carry out the thermal analysis and both the method are validated by comparing their results with analytical and experimental results. A comparative study is presented between circular absorber tube and parabolic absorber tube, for the range of Reynolds numbers 0.14x105 to 2.93x105. The maximum gain in the collector efficiency of the parabolic trough collector is found to be 6.2%.
