Zaheer Ahmed, Akshatha B A, Dr. Mushtaq Ahmed Bhavikatti, Harshith H J – January 2019 Page No.: 01-05
as water is becoming a scarce material day-by-day, there is an urgent need to do research work pertaining to saving of water in making concrete and in constructions. Curing of concrete is maintaining satisfactory moisture content in concrete during its early stages in order to develop the desired properties. Keeping importance to this, an attempt has been made to develop self-curing concrete by using Light Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA). In this experimental investigation the strength characteristics of Normal Strength Concrete cast with the self-curing agent LECA have been studied and compared with the corresponding conventionally cured concrete. IS method of mix design was adopted, for the normal strength internal curing concrete of grade M30 grade of concrete is design on trial and error basis. For producing internal-curing concrete replacements of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of LECA by weight of aggregate was used and tested. It was observed that after implementation of new technique the water consumption for curing was significantly reduced by 100% for 5% and 10% replacements.

Real Time Power Consumption Monitoring Using Arduino
Chalita Sookasame, Wu Zhongdong – January 2019 – Page No.: 06-12
Due to the economic growth, the demand for electricity tends to increase every year and that can lead to global warming and climate change. The resources in the world are limited while the society has unlimited demands, so energy conservation, including effective energy consumption should be of great concern, and people should concentrate on it. Real Time Power Consumption Monitoring Using Arduino is using an Arduino platform as a microcontrollerto read the voltage and current from sensors and then wirelessly send the measured data to monitorthe results using a new Android application. An Android application used for monitoring the energy usage of small electrical devices. The users can visualize, control, and make plans for the energy consumption in each device or group of devices via the Internet. For the design, the Database System that consists of OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) for operational data transactions and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) are used for historical data supports flexible and adaptable data and historical-data-repository reports.

Variability of Malnutrition by Gender among Under Five Children in Bangladesh: Illustration Using Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey, 2011 and 2014 Data
Sukanta Das, Habiba Akter, Abdul Muyeed – January 2019 Page No.: 15-18
Bangladesh has shown a lot of progress in reducing child malnutrition in the last few years. Despite this progress, control of the variability of child nourishment with gender is still a challenge. But, gender-based nourishment equality is most important to continue the sustainable development progress of child nutrition in Bangladesh. This study unveils the underlying variability of child nourishment with gender. The relevant child data for this study were extracted from the two rounds of Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHS) conducted in 2011 and 2014. To examine the extract of nutrition, we used the measurement of height-for-age, weight-for-age, and weight-for-height. The main findings of this paper were, the male child had less stunting prevalence than the female in 2011 but higher in 2014. The male child had less underweight prevalence than the female in both years, whereas the male child had greater wasting prevalence than the female in both years. To reduce the variability of child nourishment, itmust need to arrange split program and ensure equal food habit for each category of gender.

Infrastructure Growth and Capital Market Challenges in India
Apurva Mehta – January 2019 Page No.: 19-29
India has embarked upon an ambitious target of spending Rs. 10,525 billion on infrastructure growth and development. This monetary target may well be on course from a tax payer’s perspective, however can we say that all is kosher in this regard. There is no long tenor Rupee yield curve which is the “acceptable” benchmark for the Institutional Investors community. This renders the scope for infrastructure growth much more daunting. In this paper there is a point of view expressed in the context of the “features” of the Indian debt and equity markets which make it an uphill task for the sustainable monetization of the physical assets. This precludes them from being self-sustaining. Infrastructure is the backbone of any economy. Infrastructure needs heavy investments which means over 50 percent of funds come from government and domestic Financial Institutions as well as cross border pension funds, endowments agencies and the like.

A Study on Concrete Mix Design of Partial and Full Replacement of Copper Slag with Fine Aggregate
A.K.Karthikeyan, N.Monickavarsa, M.Sandya – January 2019 – Page No.: 30-34
Sand has by now become the most widely consumed natural resource on the planet after water and air. The annual world consumption of sand is estimated to be 40 billion tons, with a respective trade volume of 70 billion dollars. But nowhere is the struggle for sand more ferocious than in India, Hence an immediate replacement for River sand is necessitated, In this fast growing world where the industries are growing at faster rate especially metallic industries producing copper and iron where their slags are the major waste products having high strength. Many researchers have already found it possible to use Copper slag as a concrete aggregate, because copper slag has similar particle size characteristics likely to that of sand. Hence the study focuses on the various percentage replacement of Copper Slag with Fine aggregate varying from 38% to 52% at interval of 2%, since replacement of 40% to 50% shows strength improvement. Complete and no replacement i.e., 100% and 0% were also taken into account. Mix design for each % replacement is calculated and Cubes were casted for 28 days curing period. Finally the specimens were Compression tested and % replacement with maximum increase in strength is identified.

Hairdressers’ Knowledge, Perception and Self-Protective Measures towards Harmful Chemical Exposure in Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State
Olaoye Titilayo, Oyerinde Oyewole Phd, Omozusi Mercy, Kukoyi Olasumbo & Iheanacho Chiemela- January 2019 Page No.: 43-48
Hairdressers like other workers encounter hazards in their workplace that adversely affect their health. Some of these chemicals on contact with skin over a prolonged time can cause severe burns with redness, dermatitis, can damage the respiratory tract and severe pneumonitis. Most of these can be prevented if they use personal protective equipment. Therefore, this study assessed the knowledge, perceptions and self-protective measures towards harmful chemical exposure.
The study was a cross-sectional design. The total population of hairdressers in the association was used. Data was collected using a validated semi-structured questionnaire that was interviewer administered, with a Cronbach alpha score of 0.722. It was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 to generate frequency tables and chi-square tests.
The results showed that almost half 65 (46.4%) of the respondents were between the age range of 25-34 years while 3 (2.1%) of the respondents were between the age range of 55-64 with the mean age of 31.25 S.D ± 8.138. More than half 92 (65.7%) of the respondents had secondary education. Almost half 69 (49.3%) of the respondents had worked for 1-5 years and few 16 (11%) of the respondents had worked for 11-15 years. More than half 83(59.3%) of the respondents are aware that hair products contain chemicals that are harmful to health. Majority 80.7% of the respondents had a negative attitude towards the use of personal protective equipment. A significant relationship was found between awareness of chemical hazards and the use of personal protective equipment (p=0.011).
In conclusion, most of the studied hairdressers had poor education, the most probable reason why some of them lack knowledge on chemicals found in salon/hair products and their effects on health and also ways to protect themselves from these chemicals. Therefore workshops or seminars organized for hairdressers by the local government health management board, educating them on the harmful effects of chemicals they are exposed to in their workplace laying emphasis on the use of personal protective equipment. This may help to increase more positive attitude towards the use of personal protective equipment.

Development of Dual Shaft Multi Blade Waste Plastic Shredder for Recycling Purpose
Asmamaw Tegegne, Abebe Tsegaye, Ermias Ambaye, Rezen Mebrhatu – January 2019 – Page No.: 49-55
Plastics are one of the most essential engineering materials used for different applications. On processing plastic materials cutting in to the required size is one of the key operations. Cutting can be carried out using hand or motor driven machine. Shredder machine is commonly used for cutting the primary manufactured and waste plastics for further processing. Waste plastics thrown in land affect the environment and cause pollution. To reduce the pollution due to waste plastics recycling is essential task. However multi bladed and compacted in size shredder machine is one of the problems in recycling process of these waste plastics. Thus the objective of this project is to develop electrically driven dual shafted-multi bladed shredder machine using locally available machine construction materials for the purpose of recycling waste plastics for further use. Experimental method that is essential for variable and parameter control was used to carry out this project. Purposive sampling method was used for sampling and sample size was 1227x854x700mm. Angle and sharpness of the blades, space between the blades etc. were considered as essential variables and cutting speed, revolution per minute were considered as some of the parameters. Simple manufacturing tools including measuring tools and machines were used for constructing the shredder.
The 1.5kwtt capacity motor driven with a production rate of 11kg/per hr. shredder was developed and tested as well as approved. The total cost of the shredder was 1455.48USD and is affordable. Using the newly developed machine enhances economic development by saving the foreign currency spends for the provision of new machines.

Alpha Tocopherol, Bilirubin and Some Liver Enzymes in Sickle Cell Subjects
Muhammad Y, Maryam Z, Ahmad MB, Habeeb A and Zainab I. – January 2019 – Page No.: 65-67
Derangement in liver enzymes and hyperbilirubinemia in Sickle cell disease (SCD) has long been documented, generation of free radicals via Fenton’s reaction results in oxidative stress. The serum levels of alphatocopherol, bilirubin and some liver enzymes were determined in forty-eight subjects (34 SCD and 14 apparently healthy age-sex matched controls). The serum levels of liver enzymes and bilirubin were significantly higher compared to the controls (p<0.005). Serum levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly higher in sickle cell patients (p<0.005) than the controls. In conclusion, according to the findings of these results, SCD is associated with oxidative stress and deranged liver physiology. Supplementation and antioxidant and monitoring of liver physiology should be encouraged.

A Survey on Sentiment Analysis for Product Recommendation System using Hybrid Learning Algorithm
S. Dorthy Infanta, P.Chellammal – January 2019 Page No.: 68-72
Large amount of information are available on websites. Information extraction takes place in huge volumes. When queries are submitted to search engines they are generally in natural languages and contains just one or two related words. Because of this Search engines are unable to recognize natural language and thus it becomes very difficult to extract the proper information from website for the user’s interest. Recommended techniques are designed in such a way that they support various types of data sources. These data sources are in the form of DVD, books, and electronics. The algorithms are based on item to item base cross-modal hyper graph.These are applied to find the similarities between item and users respectively. One of the algorithms called Slope one algorithm is used to find out the rating of un-rated items. In this survey paper the hybridization of Algorithms will leads to efficient results.

R.Roshan Joshua, G.Raja – January 2019 – Page No.: 73-78
Data safety is the most important undertaking faced through cloud garage. Cloud computing and garage solutions provide users and numerous corporations with several talents to keep and way their facts in third party facts centers. Here, imparting a way for securing statistics in cloud garage with fog computing. The need of rapid and comfortable transmission is critical in the healthcare environment. Nowadays, the transmission of scientific picture is an everyday habitual and it’s miles essential to discover an efficient manner to transmit them over the internet. In this research, suggest a new method to encrypt an image for secure and denoised transmission. This survey deals with image cryptography, records hiding and steganography. To offer higher embedding potential without sacrificing the imperceptibility, a novel steganographic approach based totally on nine-pixel differencing with modified Least Significant Bit (LSB) substitution is proposed. After LSB substitution the pixel values are readjusted to minimize distortion such that those modified values do not disturb the embedded bits. Steganography is the approach to cover the message in virtual media. This survey shows a proposed hybrid model the usage of public key Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Steganography offers extra security than a Single ECC or Steganography technique. Application of this research is to provide important data of net clients, navy, distinct corporate sectors those which might be often the usage of public community for communication.

A Survey on XOR Based Visual Cryptography and LSB Method for Secured Communication
K.Saranya, K.Saravanan – January 2019 Page No.: 79-83
Visual cryptography (VC) is used to split an image into two random shares. When they are separately viewed reveals no information about the secret image but can be obtained by super imposing the two shares. k out of n visual cryptography scheme is used to encrypt a single image into n shares. The image can be decoded by using only k or more shares. Many existing visual cryptographic methods uses binary images which doesn’t suits well for many applications. Proposed a model to establish communication between the sender and the receiver. A text is hidden inside the image using LSB method. XOR based multi secret sharing is used to send images from the source to the destination in a secured way. n out of n multi secret sharing scheme is proposed. Transmission of multiple secret shares simultaneously is possible. The secret image can be revealed only when all the n shares are received by the receiver and decrypted.

A Survey on Plant Classification Based on Multi Organ Features Using HGO-CNN
G.Kousalya, Dr. P.D. Sheba Kezia Malarchelvi – January 2019 – Page No.: 84-87
A good understanding of plants is essential to help in identifying new or rare plant species in order to improve the drug industry, balance the ecosystem as well as the agricultural productivity. Categorizations of plants are still remains a tedious task due to limited knowledge and information of world’s plant families. Due to the intra or interspecies diversity of plants in nature, some species are difficult or impossible to differentiate from one another using only the leaf organ. Median Filtering is a noise removal algorithm that simultaneously reduces noise and preserves edges of input image. Here first propose a HGO-CNN (Hybrid Generic Organ – Convolutional Neural Network) model to automatically learn the generic and organ features representation for plant categories, replacing the need of designing hand-crafted features as to previous approaches. After having both organ and generic features migrate its convolutional layers to learn the fusion features. Second, we propose a new framework of plant structural learning based on recurrent neural networks (RNN), namely the Plant-StructNet. After classification of plant, the specific features and uses of the plant will be analyzing through this project.

Professional Ethics in Engineering
Dr. Vineet Kumar Purohit – January 2019 – Page No.: 88-91
The paper aims to discuss about the essential ethics (morals or principles) regarding profession of Engineering and the requirement also of these ethics like of responsibilities, rights, desirable ideals and personal commitments in engineering. It is the study of decisions, policies, and values desirable in engineering. This study may be helpful in improving skills in moral awareness, coherence, imagination, communication and, perhaps more indirectly , strengthening respect for persons, tolerance of diversity and confidence in resolving moral conflicts to preserve integrity. Professions are the forms of work involving expertise, independent judgement, self-regulation and service to the public. Codes of ethics state the moral responsibilities of engineers as seen by the profession and represented by professional society, they express the profession’s collective commitment to ethics, codes are enormously important not only in stressing responsibilities but also the freedom to exercise the engineers. There is description of responsibilities of individual and corporative as well which will throw light on vivid meanings of it like obligations, moral accountability, praiseworthiness and blameworthiness. Professional ethics supports responsible conduct and prevents both wrong doings and doers. Importance of shared responsibilities and personal commitments also plays vital role here. An attempt has been made to elaborate and discuss the responsibilities of engineers, related to the society and human beings, in an expatiated way, as engineers are the backbone of society.

Sorghum belongs to the grass family, Gramineae. It is essential that producers know the crop they are cultivating in order to develop the most effective production practices. Sorghum is mainly cultivated in drier areas, especially on shallow and heavy clay soils [3]. The production of sorghum in Karnataka varies from 100 00 tones to 180 00 tons per annum. The Karnataka provinces are the largest contributors to the area planted to sorghum and sorghum production. Here in this study we are modeled and fabricated the advanced SORGHUM peeler machine which is very farmers friendly in operation and economical for the pocket. Here we first modeled the machine using CATIA V5 a 3D modeling software, then started fabricating the machine after taking feedbacks, suggestions from the farmers, in order to produce a machine which helps the farmers to make his job easy, efficient and profitable.

Early Childhood Development Education Implementation Challenges in Teso South, Busia County, Kenya
Judith Makudiuh, Khaemba Ongeti – January 2019 Page No.: 98-101
Following devolution of ECDE as a result of promulgation of Kenyan constitution 2010, scanty information exists regarding the status of ECDE in various counties in Kenya. This paper therefore examines the ECDE implementation challenges in Teso Sub County. The study used a cross sectional descriptive research design utilizing both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The population of this study consisted of all ECDE centers in Teso South Sub County. The Sub County has 77 ECDE centers with two zones. A total of 64 teachers and 12 head teachers were selected to participate in the study. Multi-stage sampling techniques were adopted with stratified, simple random, census and purposive sampling being utilized. A questionnaire and an interview guide were the major tools used in collecting the information from teachers and head teachers respectively. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were adopted utilizing thematic and descriptive analysis techniques respectively. Findings indicate that most ECDE centres have inadequate trained teachers; inadequate teaching and learning materials; inadequate school physical facilities and poor parental support. The study recommends that the county government of Busia to conduct a situational analysis on the status of ECDE centres not only in Teso South but in the entire county.

Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Levels in Soil around Automobile Repair Workshops within Eket Metropolis, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
Akanimo Ekanem, Edidiong Ikpe and Ifiok Ekwere – January 2019 – Page No.: 102-107
The paper is aimed at investigating the levels of PAHs in the soil collected at various depths (0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cm) from vicinity of automobile repair workshops within Eket metropolis, Nigeria. The soils were prepared using standard procedure in the laboratory and analysed for 16 US EPA priority PAHs using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The concentration of total PAHs in the contaminated soil ranged from 0.83 to 12.98mg/kg and did not follow regular pattern with depth. These levels according to European Commission is said to be moderately to heavily contaminated. The soils were relatively enriched with Low Molecular Weight PAHs. The soil in these sampling sites had low carcinogenic burden, hence moderate adverse health effect. Diagnostic ratio used in determining PAHs source reveals that they PAHs originated from mixed sources (Phytogenic, Petrogenic and Pyrogenic sources). It can be concluded that automobile repair activities contributed to the soil contamination with PAHs, hence it should be properly sited.

Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fundus Images using Extreme Learning Machines
Lisa Maria Macedo, Prof. Amita Dessai – January 2019 Page No.: 108-112
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the term used to describe the retinal damage due to diabetes.
Initially, diabetic retinopathy may cause none to mild symptoms but sight loss at an advanced stage.
Hence detecting lesions automatically in retinal images can assist in diagnosis and screening of DR at an early stage.
The detection of the different lesions in fundus images is therefore of interest. This project proposes thepre-processing of the image using a Median Filter and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE), optic disc detection using Hough Transform, feature extraction using Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM)and Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) for classification.
