Country :: India
Authors :: Dr. S. Arul Jothi
Page No. :: 01-04

In a world of interconnected computers and networks, security is a major challenge in relation to data exchange among them. The information security through encryption has been evolved to address different issues in such process. In this context the evolution and evaluation of new encryption system is inextricably linked to the process of realizing ever increasing network security needs. A continuous development of new encryption systems are necessitated with the advancement in security and efficiency needs. In the paper symmetric key cryptosystem based on randomized key block cipher a novel dynamic cryptographic key generation scheme is proposed. This paper proposes to evaluate the enduring capacity of this algorithm to various cryptanalytic attacks viz., Differential Cryptanalysis, Linear Cryptanalysis and Poly-alphabetic Nature Test. None of the traditional attacks are designed to decrypt this encryption algorithm as the use of key scheme is different in it and therefore robust to the conventional cryptanalytic attacks.

Title :: Experimental Study of Fire Effects on Compressive Strength of Normal-Strength Concrete Supported With Nanomaterials Additives
Country :: Egypt
Authors :: Alaa Aly Elsayd || Islam Nabil Fathy
Page No. :: 17-26

Fire in buildings is nearly always man- made, i.e. resulting from negligence or error, which can cause immense damage in terms of lives and property. Concrete is widely used as a primary structural material in construction due to numerous advantages, such as strength, durability, ease of fabrication, but one of the most important advantages of concrete over other buildings materials (steel, wood,) is its fire resistive properties. Fire resistance can be defined as the ability of concrete to enable the structural elements to withstand fire or to give protection from it [1]. This includes the competence to resist a fire or to continue to perform a given structural function, or both. Concrete.............

Much research on electric-powered wheelchairs (EPWs) has been carried out in recent years to mitigate the problems of disabled people. We have come a long way since the basic manually-operated wheelchairs, and the progress made has considerably improved freedom of mobility of the disabled. This study proposes an autonomous EPW (electric powered wheelchair) having smart driving features for the visually impaired. Our initial prototype, the InstitutoPolitécnico de Leiria/Instituto de Telecomunicações (IPL/IT) wheelchair had voice, eye-movement, and GPS (Global Positioning System) control. Our latest version which we propose in this paper includes an Indoor locating system (IPS) using 3D printed directional Wi Fi antennas that allow a precise positioning of the wheelchair in an indoor scenario and a novel smart 3D headphone that can generate acoustic signals in proportion to a 3D object, which will allow the visually impaired to identify the size and shape of obstacles, and thus, avoid them. The IPL/IT EPW system has been designed with low-cost IoT (Internet of Things) technology in mind..

Earthquakes are one of the most devastating and frightening natural disasters that can be experienced. After such occurrences, it may be vital to identify objects or (living) beings within buildings that have collapsed. In this context the usage of scanning techniques employing Wi-Fi allow an innovative approach to facilitate referred identification. By using wireless technology, this work presents a proposal for the detection and identification of object contours or silhouettes through walls. This goal was achieved by reading the radio signal strength (RSS) variations with an array of affordable IoT (Internet of Things) Wi-Fi antennas.

Page No. :: 52-55

In this work, influence of dysprosium (Dy) doping on the structural and magnetic properties of Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) nanoparticles has been studied and results are presented. Dy doped YIG nanoparticles (Y3-xDyxFe5O12, x = 0.2) are synthesized by standard sol-gel auto combustion method using citric acid as a fuel. Pure and Dy doped YIG nanoparticles were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction technique at room temperature. X-ray analysis proves the formation of single phase cubic garnet structure. The lattice constant found to be increasing after Dy doping. Using XRD data, X-ray density, unit cell volume and particle size were deduced and their variation with Dy doping is studied. The magnetic properties like saturation magnetization, coercivity etc were studied through hysteresis loop technique. It is observed that, the saturation magnetization decreases after Dy doping.

Page No. :: 60-68

The recognition accuracy of unimodal biometric systems needs to fight with an assortment of issues, for example, foundation noise, noisy data, non-comprehensiveness, and parody assaults, intra-class varieties, between class likenesses or peculiarity, interoperability issues. This paper depicts another multimodal biometric framework that incorporates various characteristics of a person for recognition, which can reduce the issues looked by unimodal biometric framework while enhancing recognition execution. We have built up a multimodal biometric framework by consolidating iris, face and voice at match score level utilizing straightforward whole guideline. The match scores are standardized by min-max standardization. The personality built up by this framework is considerably more solid and exact than the individual biometric systems. Test assessments are performed on an open dataset showing the accuracy of the proposed framework. The adequacy of proposed framework in regards to FAR (False Accept Rate) and GAR (Genuine Accept Rate) is shown with the assistance of MUBI (Multimodal Biometrics Integration) programming..

Country :: India
Authors :: Swastika Mishra || Jibendu Sekhar Roy
Page No. :: 74-79

The objective of this paper is to investigate the blind channel equalization using least mean square (LMS) algorithm and its variants. Digital transmission systems impose the application of channel equalizers with short training time, high tracking rate, high data rate and quality. Thus, it is necessary to define new and robust algorithms to equalize channels and reduce noise in communications. In this paper LMS algorithm and its variants normalized LMS (NLMS) and sign LMS (SLMS) algorithms are used for implementation of blind channel equalization. The performance of each algorithm is studied separately and results are compared. It is found that the convergence rate and error performance of NLMS and SLMS equalizers are better than LMS equalizer..
