Title :: Development of Mix Design Model for Concrete with Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) as Pozzolan Material
Country :: Nigeria
Authors :: Vincent B. Mbata || Ode ThankGod || B.E. Ngekpe
Page No. :: 01-05

This study aims at the development of mix design equation for prediction of compressive strength of concrete produced with different proportions of, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water content, cement content and palm oil fuel ash (POFA) for partial replacement of concrete. The investigation was carried out for a period of 28 days curing age. The concrete design model was developed via the multiple linear regression technique, and the results obtained from the experiment for each mix design were fitted into model. It was observed that the compressive strength predicted by the model were comparable to those obtained from the experiment, with correlation coefficient, R2 of 0.9751 (97.51%). Thus, the high prediction recorded indicated that the developed concrete mix design model for partial replacement of cement can be used to forecast the strength of concrete given a specific mix concrete design prior to production of the concrete, thereby saving cost and time.

Key words: POFA, Compressive Strength, Mix Parameters and Mix Design Model

Page No. :: 06-08

In the present work, cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method using citric acid as a fuel. The metal nitrate to fuel ratio was taken as 1:3. The as prepared powder of cobalt ferrite was sintered at 550C for 4 h and used for further characterizations. The sintered pellet of cobalt ferrite is gamma irradiated using Co60 source. The structural characterizations were made using X-ray diffraction technique for both gamma irradiated and unirradiated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure. No extra peak has been observed in both the XRD patterns.............

Country :: Azerbaijan
Authors :: Mehriban A.Mamedova
Page No. :: 09-13

The stationary longitudinal vibrations of a finite length visco-elastic cylindrical shell with regard to singularity of the shell creeping nucleus are investigated. A formula for axial displacement of the shell points are obtained in explicit analytic form. A formula of amplitude-frequency dependence on the base of which an appropriate curve is constructed for the given values of input parameters, is derived.

Now a day human health problem is one of the serious things in our day to day life. Generally in critical case patients are supposed to be monitored continuously for their Heart Rate, ECG, blood sugar and oxygen level as well as body temperature with the help of biosensors. The fixed monitoring system can be used only when the patient is on the bed and this system is only available in hospitals. Many times patients need to be constant or periodically monitored by clinician or family. The presented system is developed for such patients that are not in critical condition but needs to be under supervision. The designed system sends SMS to doctor or any family member if any critical condition occurs................

Title :: Analysis of Average Shortest-Path Length of Scale-Free Network with Secure Routing
Country :: India
Authors :: G.Prathyusha || V. Jaikumar
Page No. :: 20-27

Computing the average shortest-path length of a large scale-free network needs much memory space and computation time. Hence, parallel computing must be applied. In order to solve the load-balancing problem for coarse-grained parallelization, the relationship between the computing time of a single-source shortest-path length of node and the features of node is studied. We present a dynamic programming model using the average out degree of neighboring nodes of different levels as the variable and the minimum time difference as the target. The coefficients are determined on time measurable networks................

Key words: Shortest Path, scale free Network, Secure Routing, Network Simulator.

Title :: Medical Image Segmentation Using Deep Learning Using Segnet
Country :: India
Authors :: K.Sravani || Dr D.Venkatarao
Page No. :: 28-35

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance for automatic medical image segmentation. However, they have not demonstrated sufficiently accurate and robust results for clinical use. In addition, they are limited by the lack of image-specific adaptation and the lack of generalizability to previously unseen object classes (a.k.a. zero-shot learning). To address these problems, we propose a novel deep learning-based interactive segmentation framework by incorporating CNNs into a bounding box and scribble-based segmentation pipeline. We propose image-specific fine-tuning to make a CNN model adaptive to a specific test image, which can be either unsupervised (without additional user interactions) or supervised (with additional scribbles). We also propose a weighted loss function considering network..........

Title :: Cloud Computing in Ad Hoc Networks
Country :: India
Authors :: Deepti Bhanot || Dr. Anil Chaudhary
Page No. :: 36-41

In this paper, we intend a protocol scheme for network mobility (NEMO) in ruinous scenarios assisted by cloud computing based on Ad-hoc networks. The proposed attempt tries to reduce the network burden on the mobile nodes and also minimizes the link failures during hand overs by availing cloud services while transmitting in between the nodes. This paper describes the route creation for the MANET as well as the route maintenance while maintaining the connectivity within the nodes. It also provides the proper mobility support in Ad Hoc mechanism. The introduction of cloud in MANET improves the quality and thus, attempt to achieve the level of stability.

Title :: Studying Quasi-Static Void Growth Based on Strain Gradient Elasto-Plasticity
Country :: China
Authors :: Xinbing Ma || Puzi Zhang
Page No. :: 42-48

The void growth as the principal mechanism inductile fracturehas attracted much attention. Based on the strain gradient elasto-plasticity, the quasi-static void growth problemis solvedwith the consideration of size effect.Numerical results show thatin the early stage, the void does not grow. After the loading has increased to a certain amount, voids begin to grow rapidly. The size effectin elastic limitfurther increases the strength of materials and the critical stress, and delays the time of the quasi-static void growth, especially for the smaller voids. Furthermore, larger scale parameter makes the scale effect more significant.

Key words: Quasi-static void growth, strain gradient, elasto-plasticity, size effect, critical stress.

Cloud storage is a model of computer data storage in which the digital data is stored in logical pools. The cloud storage providers are responsible for keeping the data available and accessible, and the physical environment protected and running. Cloud storage services may be accessed through a collocated cloud computing service, a web service application programming interface (API). Recently, with the rapid development in wearable medical sensors and wireless communication, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged as a promising technique that will revolutionize the way of seeking healthcare, which is often termed e-healthcare..........

Page No. :: 68-73

This paper aims at detecting the presence of glaucoma based on retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and visual field. To perform this data has been collected from various hospitals having numerous candidate features. These features are reduced by preprocessing and dimensionality reduction in order to remove noise.Glaucoma is characterized by dysfunction and loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), with resulting structural changes to the optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and ganglion cell and inner plexiform layers as well as loss of the visual field.The diagnosis of glaucoma in its early stages is challenging.Diagnosis of glaucoma in myopic eyes and patients with brain diseases such as brain tumor is known to be difficult due to those eye‟s characteristic disc shape and visual field defect.........
