Low Contrast Color Image Enhancement by Using GLCE with Contrast Stretching
Sarla Gautam, Prof. Tripti Saxena, Prof. Vijay Trivedi – February 2018 Page No.: 01-05
The principal objective of enhancement techniques is to process an image so that the result is more suitable than the original image for a specific application. Image enhancement techniques used in many areas such that Forensics, Astrophotography, Fingerprint matching etc. In image processing, low contrast image analysis is a challenging problem. Low contrast digital images reduce the ability of observer in analyzing the image. Here we propose a new method for low contrast color images enhancement. This method uses two step processing, in first step global contrast stretching method is applied to improve the contrast of image and then in second step global and local contrast enhancement(GLCE) is performed because applying the local contrast enhancement along with global contrast enhancement is much better than that of global contrast enhancement only or local contrast enhancement only. To evaluate the effectiveness of our method we choose two widely used metrics Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE) and PSNR. Based on results of these two metrics this algorithm is proved as a flexible and effective way for low contrast image enhancement.

Finite Element Analysis of Helical Stair Slab
Ahmadullah Tabani, Avinesh Kumar – February 2018 – Page No.: 06-09
Staircase is used in buildings for providing access to pedestrian to different floors and roof of a structure. A Stair is a series of steps with or without landings or platforms, which is installed between two or more floors of a building to bridge a large vertical distance. In this work we have analyzed helical stair slabs of different radii by modeling it in ANSYS. Three staircases of different radii ranging from small to relatively large have been modeled and loads have been applied to get an idea of deflection.

Sustainable Living and Self Employment Strategies in Koochivari Palli – A Case Study
Sowdeepya K, Drakshayani M and Bhagavanulu DVS – February 2018 – Page No.: 10-12
A shift has been observed in the balance of farm and non-farm self-employment activity among families is observed who live in villages. Historically, India is known to be an agricultural country and most of the revenue is generated from farm products in earlier days. The workers in the rural areas were farm self-employed, compared to non-farm activities. However, farm self-employment has been steadily declining in the last two decades due to economic and technological change in agriculture. However, the overall area under cultivation has remained fairly stable. The families who live in rural areas are earning money through dairy and other non farm products. Also, the share of workers engaged in non-farm pursuits has been increasing; following the national trend of more self-employment in the labour market overall. Since the mid-1990s, more workers in rural areas were moving towards labour market as daily wage workers. But family with self employment strategies are slowly growing and dependency on labour market is neglected. In some rural areas, the men depend on labour employment and women in making agro products and dairy development. A case study is conducted in Koochivari Palli, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, India to find the employment generating avenues and also dairy development for the self sustenance of the families.

SEO-A Review
Sonu B. Surati, Ghanshyam I. Prajapati – February 2018 – Page No.: 13-17
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting online visibility of a website or web page. This is important to improve rank of search result for website and get more page views, which are requested by user and these users can be converted into customers. A Search Engine Optimization may target on different search engines like image, video, academic, news, industry etc. and using these engine ranks they provide better and optimized result for user. These ranks help them to view popular page among the number of page available in the (non-paid) search result. Also, SEO is to help website managers to improve traffic of website, to making site friendly, to building link, and marketing unique value of site. SEO classified in two categories as either white hat SEO or black hat SEO. White hats tend to produce results that last a long time, whereas black hats anticipate that their sites may eventually be banned either temporarily or permanently. SEO is used to improve their frames and create more economic effectiveness and social effectiveness and also they can focus on national and international searcher(s).

Interpersonal Style Orientation of Managers – A Literature Review
Neha Joshi, Dr. Ashish Sinha – February 2018 – Page No.: 18-22
Interpersonal style orientation of any employee is the backbone of organizational performance and developing its culture and climate. Studies have revealed that Managers who tend to be effective in their leadership styles as far as coordinating and directing their subordinates is concerned are more successful than those who lacks these styles. A useful conceptual framework to describe an individual style is Transactional Analysis. TA is quite popular and two basic concepts can be used to understand influence styles, the Ego States and the Existential Positions. Interpersonal relations have been found to be an integral part of the job world over and several studies have established their importance in formal organizations, especially for effective decision making and implementation of decisions. The current paper is a base for identifying various styles and techniques which researchers have found after extensive analysis over past few decades. It is a conceptual framework of identifying these factors and also to look into the gap which still exist within this broad spectrum of interpersonal styles and relationships existing in the organization.

Effect of Infill Walls on Seismic Performance of RC Frames
Mohd Abdul Malik, M A Azeem, Mohd Nazim Raza – February 2018 – Page No.: 23-26
For this study, three different shape buildings are considered which are both regular and irregular in plan. Three different storey conditions are applied to all the three buildings. A regular Rectangular shape, L shape and C shape buildings are studied having all 11 storey, 16 storey, 21 storey conditions. The Nonlinear static analysis is performed for all the models. The Seismic performance of Bare frame is compared with Infill frame, and for each shape models with different storey combination the effect change in number of bays with infill is studied. The Seismic performance of frame with soft storey is compared with frame having no soft storey conditions. The parameters studied are Storey Drifts, Time Period, Base Shear, Roof displacement, Performance points, and Hinge formation mechanism. From the study of all the thirty models it is found that the presence of Infill wall increases the load carrying capacity of the structure by 8 to 10 times than that of bare frame and the time period is decreased ranging from 188% to 325%.

A Solar MPPT Technique for Battery Charging Applications
Dr. Sanjay Lakshminarayanan – February 2018 – Page No.: 32-36
In this paper it is shown that for charging batteries from solar panels, MPPT can be achieved by varying the duty ratio of the DC-DC converter feeding the battery so thatthe average battery charging current is maximized. Assuming negligible losses in the converter, this is equivalent to maximizing the power output of the solar panel as in traditional MPPT. A low power(10 W) prototype has been built with a buck-boost converter to charge a lead acid battery (12 V, 7AH), with an Arduino microcontroller to control the duty ratio. The method can be scaled up easily to control even Kilo Watts of power.

Strength Analysis of RC Beam by using ANSYS: A Review
Udit Lahoti, Sumit Pahwa – February 2018 – Page No.: 43-47
The utilization of outwardly wrapped fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, strips or steel plates is a present and suitable method for increasing strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Various authors have been concluded on reinforced concrete beams with strengthened with the utilization of fiber reinforced polymer composite. greater part of researches explained on shear strengthening compared with flexural strengthening, while several optimizations the effect of openings on shear and flexural separately with several loading situations. By wrapping Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets, retrofitting of concrete structures provide a more economical and precisely superior substitute to the traditional techniques in many situations because it offers high strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, high fatigue resistance, easy and rapid installation and smallest modification in structural geometry. This study examined the effect of polymers on beam by reading many articles on strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with and without fiber reinforcement polymers.

Comparison of Static vs Ballistic Stretching Combined with Basket Ball
K. Jeevanathan, D. Rajesh, VPR. Sivakumar – February 2018 – Page No.: 48-52
BACK GROUND: Little is known about the effectiveness of performing static stretching prior to a power play such as basket ball sport. Evidence for ballistic stretching effectiveness is documented. Studies done to compare Static Stretching and Ballistic stretching combined with Basketball play on Flexibility and Vertical Jump are limited.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the two different stretching effects for basket ball players.
STUDY DESIGN: Quasi Experimental
METHODOLOGY: 50 male basketball players (18-23yrs) (BMI: 22-23.5kg/m 2) were recruited and randomly allocated onto 2 groups. Group A: Static Stretching Group combined with 20 minutes of basketball play B: Ballistic stretching combined with 20 minutes of basketball play for both Group A and B. The programme was carried out 3days /week for 6 weeks. Box test for Flexibility (4.27) and Sergeant Jump test for Vertical Jump (286.12) were assessed at baseline; end of every week and after six weeks.
RESULTS: Improvement for the flexibility (8.94) and vertical jump (300.96) were greater in ballistic stretching, whereas difference in static stretching on flexibility (6.66) and vertical jump (295.88) was not significant.
CONCLUSION: The study indicates that ballistic stretching combined with 20 minutes basketball play may be superior to static stretching with 20 minutes basketball play for improving flexibility and vertical jump in basketball players.

Water Quality Dynamics and Sustainability Evaluation of Pamba River, Kerala
Divya. S. Rajan, Anila.K.A – February 2018 Page No.: 53-61
Aquatic ecosystems are facing growing threats due to a variety of anthropogenic activities, which entail urgent need for research and education programmes to create awareness in the society for their protection and conservation. In the present study variations in physico-chemical water quality parameters of the river Pamba, Kerala, India was determined .Pamba river with a length of 176 kms is a major river of Kerala. The Pampa River is the third longest river in the South Indian State of Kerala after Periyar and Bharathappuzha and the longest river in the erstwhile princely state of Travancore. The River Pamba enriches the lands of Pathanamthitta District and the Kuttanad areas of Alappuzha District. The objective of the study was to investigate the seasonal variations of physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, transparency, hardness, salinity, ammonia, carbon dioxide, Dissolved oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand and Chemical Oxygen Demand. As a part of the investigation, four stations were selected for the study for the assessment of water quality of areas such as Kozhancherry, Aranmulla, Chengannur and and Mannar. Water samples were collected during the year 2016-2017 from the study area and the physico-chemical parameters were analyzed with respect to the seasons following standard methods. The study indicates that there is a pronounced variation of most of the water quality parameters with variations in season. There are numerous causes including increasing number of industries and various other anthropogenic activities in the neighbouring regions, global climatic changes that lead to the degradation of the quality of water. The alteration of these water quality parameters may provide an early warning signal about the ecosystem degradation. The findings of the present study also provide a better understanding of this damaged ecosystem and reminds the need for its restoration.

“Macbeth: Archetypal Shakespearean Tragedy”
Dr. Deepa Tyagi, Dr. Nishi Sharma – February 2018 – Page No.: 62-64
Shakespeare’s genius has an indefinable energy, something mobile and dynamic. That keeps his vitality undiminished even at the end of three and half centuries and seems to increase with every reading. What Enobarbus describes to Cleopatra is perfectly applicable and true about Shakespeare himself:
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale;
Her infinite variety, other women do,
The appetites they feed but she makes hungry;
Where most she satisfies.
His uncontested supremacy rests on the spirit of his equal aptitude for tragedy and comedy, sentiment and burlesque, lyrical fantasy and character study of women no less than of men. Most of his characters possess the vital spark and signs of individual existence. Though they are differ from one another in age, in sex, in condition, in virtues and in vices. They possess the common gift of animation and life. He is one of the most conservative writers who have only refashioned subjects already used. Half his plays are revisions of works already acted. All the others are taken from chronicles or tales which he had read.
Shakespearean tragedies are the most beautiful piece of work in English Literature. All are the highest achievement of the creative master dramatist. In writing his tragedies, Shakespeare did not invent only theory of his own views at the same time he followed basically what the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle had laid down years back for the composition of a tragedy. Shakespeare wrote four great tragedies Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear and Othello. He has written on almost the same pattern. If I examine the four great tragedies of Shakespeare, I will certainly find that they resemble few common characteristics. Shakespeare’s shortest and bloodiest tragedy, Macbeth is the story of Scottish General, named Macbeth, who receives a forecast from three inauspicious witches that one day he will become the King of Scotland. Overwhelmed with ambitious thoughts and spurred to do the action by his truly overambitious wife, Lady Macbeth. Macbeth murders King Duncan and seizes the throne for himself.

Revelation of Aestheticism through Meta-Narratives in some Bengali Bratakathas
Sovan Sen – February 2018 – Page No.: 68-70
The term “meta-narrative” in this paper has been taken as “tales on tales”. In the field of critical theory and particularly in post-modernism, a meta-narrative is about narratives of historical meaning, experience or knowledge which offers a society legitimating through the anticipated completion of a master idea. But as this paper would take the word in a simplified sense, it is a kind of text which focuses on a particular group of texts including it and discusses about it. It largely influences the reader who reads it, the teller who tells it, as well as the audience who listens to it.

Comparative Evaluation of Rician Noise Denoising Techniques for MRI Images
Saylee Lad, Dr. Prof M. S. Panse – February 2018 – Page No.: 71-73
Image processing plays an important role in Brain tumor detection. MRI images are usually preferred for brain tumor analysis. These images are highly affected by Rician noise. Images should be noise free becausenoisy image analysis results in poor accuracy. Comparative evaluation of denoising techniques is carried out where the Median filter, Weiner filter, Hard Wavelet Transform and Soft Wavelet Transform are used. Filter performance is evaluated by Mean Square Error and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio. Hard Wavelet Transform is proved to be the best filtering technique for Rician noise removal.

Human Personality and Stress: It’s Management
Sapna Vyas – February 2018 – Page No.: 74-79
The process of change and innovation often new and increased pressures on the people involved. Stress must be understood as a state of tension experienced by individuals facing extraordinary demands, constraints, or opportunities. Stress may be referred to an unpleasant state of emotional, physiological arousal that people experience in situation that they perceive as dangerous or threatening to their well-being. The word stress means different things people. Some define stress as events or situations that cause them to feel tension, pressure, or negative emotions such as anxiety and anger. Others views stress as the response to these situations. These responses include physiological changes- such as increased heart rate and muscle tension as well as emotional and behavioral changes. However, most psychologists regard stress as process involving a person’s interpretation and response to threatening event.

Market Analysis of Branded Apparel and Brand Stores
Dr. Subramaniam Seshan, Nilima Kanojiya – February 2018 – Page No.: 80-84
Brand is essentially the sum of all experiences related to the product, service, and companies that make and deliver the product. Brand perceptions are shaped by functional experiences (i.e. speed, quality, reliability, ease of use) as well as emotional experiences (i.e. make me feel better, improve my performance, make my life/job more gratifying or easier) the customer associates with the product and company.
The apparel market in our country has undergone a transformational phase over the past few years due to growing number of working groups, changing fashion trends, increasing level of information, media exposure and entry of big brand names. Regular Consumer is not only confined to traditional tailored cloths, but now trying different brands of ready to wear and branded materials & apparels. Consumer expenditure on clothing in our country after the 1991 reforms has shown a consistent increase. It is projected that consumer expenditures on clothing will increase from 27 million USD in 2009 to 77 million USD in 2020 (Euro monitor, 2010).
SCOPE OF THE STUDY – The scope of this study is limited to Nagpur city and the information will be collected from the urban population of city between the age group of 20-50 with respect to acceptance of branded apparels and brand stores for analyzing respective market. In this study, a qualitative approach was used to understand the why Nagpur is becoming retail and brand store hub with remarkable pace. Data collection took place in Nagpur city.

Life Shell’ – A Fturistic Proposition under Social Impact Based Green Building Projects
Prof. Abhi Mitra, Maitri Navdiya, Mohit Tulsani, Jenish Langalia – February 2018 – Page No.: 88
In today’s time with life becoming so very busy on day to day basis, it is becoming immensely difficult for one to lead a peaceful life. The competition observed now a day is cut-throat and therefore the same gets implied to the pressure that professional and individuals need to face, doesn’t really matter if they are working for others or themselves. Apart from that if we take into concern countries like India that seems to be immensely populated and also mismanaged when it comes to environmental problems, these problems tend to add more to the irony of making one’s life more tensed than ever. Apart from this there are a lot of other problems like excessive urbanization, vehicular traffic etc. causing excessive congestion making it difficult to have spaces allotted for recreational and peace gathering purposes. Taking all these things together and analyzing the effects we tend to get an observation that there have severe health affects in form of lifestyle diseases also the life of those who are either living below poverty line or are poor people are exponentially intending to get vulnerable to diseases and at an adverse level even get their lives destroyed.
