The synthesis of 3-((1,3-bis(phenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-1H-indole and their derivatives has been prepared through the reaction of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde and1H-indole using low cost, easily seperable and recyclable nano ZrO2/SBA-15 catalyst through the simple one pot synthesis. This method is very efficient and eco friendly. The synthesized 3-((1,3-bis(phenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-1H-indole derivative's characteristics are assigned by NMR, C13 NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy.

Non verbal communication has its own benefits and importance from the perspective of many applications. Facial expressions are one of the significant forms of non verbal communication amongst other major non verbal communication indicators like brain signals, body posture, gesture and actions etc. used prominently to convey the emotional state/ mood of a person. Emotion recognition serve wide range of applications like healthcare, patient pain monitoring, driver alert system, cognitive assessment, e- learning, animation etc. Emotion classifier is modeled around the features fed to the model in the form of feature vector i.e. set of prominent features/attributes. The correctness in extracting the facial features has tremendous impact on classifier accuracy...............

All drivers have an awareness of finding route to the particular destination within a short period. In present scenario, thiscanbeachieved by using Global positioning system (GPS). It determines the current location and alsohelps in finding the route between the source and the destination. At present the drivers comes to know about the traffic and alsoweather conditions in the form of FM radio data system whichtransmits the information collectedfrom Traffic Message Channel. In recentdays, Vehicular ad hoc Network (VANET) isbecoming more popular in many places. VANET is an important element of Intelligent Transportation Source (ITS). VANET is a network whichallows the vehicles to broadcast the safety messages to nearbyvehicles. For using VANET in vehicles, On-Board unit shouldbeplaced in the vehicle and Road Side Unit (RSU) along the highways. The main source of communication between RSU and OBU isdedicated short range communication (DSRC) protocol.

The present study aimed to assess the groundwater quality in Sri Kalahasthi Mandal, Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh State. A total number of 40 groundwater samples were collected from various parts of the study area during pre-monsoon period (May-2017) to evaluate its parameters such as (pH), EC, Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Sulphate (SO42−), Chloride (Cl-), and Bicarbonate (HCO3-). The results indicate that these parameters are spatially inhomogeneous and the groundwater samples can be classified to be Na-Cl and Mixed Ca-Na-HCO3 types. Moreover, Gibbs diagram suggest that precipitation dominance is the main process controlling the hydrochemistry of the groundwater in the study area. In association with WHO standards, the majority of the groundwater samples can meet up the requirement for drinking with few exceptions...............

The aim of the present study is statistical analysis of rainfall data of srikalahasti mandal, chittoor district and contains the rain gauge station with a normal rain fall 1084mm. The mandal receives rainfall from winter (19.8 mm.), summer (63.2 mm.) southwest monsoon (412.8 mm.) and the northeast monsoon (655.9 mm.). From the analysis of seasonal rainfall it is found that the mandal receives high rainfall in both southwest and northeast monsoon periods. In the eastern plains of the mandal the rainfall recorded is high in northeast monsoon period.

Electricity plays a vital role in any industrial engineering system. The power plant system in any industry serves as a backbone to it. The paper deals with the steady state behaviour of a cold standby system operating in a power plant system. The system comprises of a turbine, a high pressure boiler, a cold standby unit: three low pressure boilers and three fans: PA fan, FD fan and ID fan. A cold standby unit which comprises of three low pressure boilers acts as a redundant system for main high pressure boiler. The analysis has been done based on the real data. There is only one technician available to do the desired job of repair or replacement as per requirement of the failure. Various parameters for effectiveness of the system have been computed using Semi Markov process and regenerative point technique. Graphical study along with interpretation has also been done to study the behaviour of the reliability and cost benefit analysis of the present study.

Image segmentation of human brain is commonly used for clear-cut partitioning of gray and white matter, cerebral spinal fluid and skull in the image. Several image segmentation strategies have been proposed from the early stages of image processing. Clustering is one of the most popular among them. In this work k-mean, Fuzzy c mean and Genetic algorithm based clustering techniques has been studied and comparative analysis has been done in terms of mean and variance of segmented tumor, and inter and intra cluster distance of the centers for individual algorithm. The accuracy of each method is also compared with the ground truth image. The implemented clustering methods are further compared based on some segmentation metric. Here the BRATS-12 dataset is used for testing the algorithms, which consists 27 high grade tumor and 15 low grade tumor MRI images. Each MRI image is given with four different modalities such as T1, T2, FLAIR and T1+C. The database also consist four ground truth segmented images for each image. The ground truth images are prepared by the four different observers.
