Cloud computing is one of the rising technologies, that takes set of connections users to the next level. Cloud is a technology where resources are paid as per usage rather than owned. One of the major challenges in this technology is Security. Biometric systems provide the answer to ensure that the rendered services are accessed only by a legal user or an authorized user and no one else. Biometric systems recognize users based on behavioral or physiological characteristics. The advantages of such systems over traditional validation methods, such as passwords and IDs, are well known and hence, biometric systems are progressively gaining ground in terms of usage. This paper brings about a new replica of a security system where in users have to offer multiple biometric finger prints during Enrollment for a service. These templates are stored at the cloud provider’s section. The users are authenticated based on these finger print designed templates which have to be provided in the order of arbitrary numbers or imaginary numbers that are generated every time continuously. Both finger prints templates and images are present and they provided every time duration are encrypted or modified for enhanced security.

Computer technology has rapidly grown over past decades. Most of this can be attributed to the Internet as many computers now have a need to be networked together to establish an online connection. A local area network is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communication line or wireless link to the service. Typically, a LAN compasses computers and peripherals connected to a secure server within a small geographic area such as an office building or home computer and other mobile devices that share resources such as printer or network storage. A LAN is contrasted in principle to a wide area network(WAN)which covers a larger geographic distance and may involve leased telecom circuits while the media for LANs are locally managed. Ethernet are twisted pair cabling & Wi-Fi are the two most common transmission technologies in use for LAN. The rise of virtualization has fueled the development of virtual LAN(WLAN)which allows network administrator to logically group network nodes & partition their networks without the need for major infrastructure changes. In some situations, a wireless LAN or Wi-Fi maybe preferable to a wired LAN because of its flexibility & cost. Companies are asserting WLANs as a replacement for their wired infrastructure as the number of smart phones, tablets & other mobile devices proliferates.

Programmatic inventory auction or Real Time Bidding is the latest buzz in the mobile advertisement industry. This concept refers to a real time auction held for mobile advertisement spots and bidders bidding for that spot to show their advertisement. For a programmatic exchange that conducts these auctions detecting advertisements that auto click becomes very important since click fraud can quickly degrade the quality of supply for the exchange. Click fraud robs advertisers of their connection to unique users / potential customers they might acquire. Click fraud nowadays is achieved with scripts to make it more legitimate and convincing.

Finding the appropriate mobile audience for mobile advertising is always challenging since there are many data points that need to be considered and assimilated before a target segment can be created and used in ad serving by any ad server. Deep learning neural networks have been used in machine learning to use multiple processing layers to interpret large datasets with multiple dimensions to come up with a high-level characterization of the data. During a request for an advertisement and subsequently serving of the advertisement on the mobile device there are many trackers that are fired collecting a lot of data points. If the user likes the advertisement and clicks on it, another set of trackers give additional information resulting from the click. This information is aggregated by the ad server and shown in its reporting console. The same information can form the basis of machine learning by feeding this information to a deep learning neural network to come up with audiences that can be targeted based on the product that is advertised.

Since medical tourism attract patient from various origin to seek medical services at different destinations, it is paramount to consider the factors that motivate patrons’ decision on medical tourism. Hence, this study assesses the factors influencing patronage of medical tourism in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria. Lagos State is situated in the southwestern corner of Nigeria, it lies within Latitudes 6°2’N to 6°4’N of the Equator and Longitudes 2°45’E to 4°20E of the Greenwich meridian. Metropolitan Lagos is a statistical division, and not an administrative unit, it extends over 16 of the 20 LGAs of Lagos State, it contains 88% of the population of Lagos State, and includes semi-rural areas. Data were collected from primary source. Primary data collection was carried out through the use of structured questionnaire. Systematic sampling technique was employed to select 15 specialized private hospitals and 14 Public hospitals in the study area, resulting to a sample size of 29 hospitals. Ten (10) patrons were contacted in each of the selected hospitals; consequently, 290 patrons were sampled. The study revealed three factors influencing patronage of medical tourism in the study area to be service related, economic, and facilities. These were further established by factor analysis result which combine service related/ economic factor as factor one with (29.5% variance explained and Eigen value of 5.605), Facility factor as factor two with (28.6% variance explained and Eigen value of 5.435), Service related factor as factor three with (14.7% variance explained and Eigen value of 2.788) and Economic factor as factor four with (9.2% variance explained and Eigen value of 1.754). The relevant authority in charge of health facilities in the study area would have to employ adequate manpower in-terms of doctors and other healthcare personnel across the public hospital, while also regulating the scale of charges of the registered private hospitals in the study area. There is need to improve upon the state of facilities and equipment in both public and private hospital in the study area and orient these towards meeting patrons’ needs and wants for improved health care services. The study therefore concluded that the factors influencing patronage of medical tourism are service related, facilities and economic.

Various failures of the traditional approach in community development in developing countries have led to the development of a more appropriate and holistic approach to address complex development issues. Systems approaches and cutting-edge tools have recently been embraced to deal with such complexities under contexts of interwoven relationships amongst social, economic, political, cultural and environmental factors. This paper provides reflections on practical value of the Evolutionary Learning Laboratory (ELLab) through a case study on improving the quality of life for women farmers in northern Vietnam, where gender-bias labour hardship and poor living-standard are evident. The first five steps of the participatory systems-based ELLab were implemented during 2013-2014 providing valuable results that have made both practical and theoretical contributions with substantial implications to community development. Our study finds that the context-based results reshaped the original project goal. The approach and framework helped to identify and engage right stakeholders in problem analyses and decision making activities. Fuzzy problems within the complex web of life of the women and rural households were uncovered using relevant systems tools to develop a big picture (systems model) of the current situation, defining levers for systemic interventions. The ELLab helps to build capacity of local people for taking ownership of the process and outcomes to guarantee sustainability and long-term impacts. It also facilitates true participation and co-learning amongst stakeholders, triggering transformative learning. Contributions to action research and an innovative mechanism for sharing reflections and lessons at both local and global levels via the online Think2ImpactTM are discussed.

The wood rotting fungi might have played an important role in sustaining the forest ecosystem since fungi are major decomposers where they break down organic matter which would otherwise not be recycled. Elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus are required in large quantities by biological systems which are not in abundant in the environment. The action from the fungi’s allows the release of these elements from decaying woods and logs to be available to other living organism and having a balanced ecosystem in the forest. In the present investigation a survey was made in which eighteen samples of wood rotting fungi were collected from Bulileka and Valebasoga, Vanua Levu, Fiji Island. Morphological study of the collected fungi was carried out with the respect to common name, scientific name, locality, season, edibility and morphology of fruiting body.

Networking, technology and education makes communication easier and helps people in easy education and awareness. Aim & objectives: The main aim of the study is to educate and aware among people regarding eye health and the check the visual function of their eye by using Apple I pad. Material and Methodology: The following study is a home based vision screening program [using IPAD] which uses the basic tests like visual acuity, color vision, contrast sensitivity and amsler tests for checking the basic functions of the eye. The study was performed in many societies moving from one place to another using IPAD as a tool. Reliability of ipad was checked, a pilot study on 25 subjects visual acuity, colour vision and contrast sensitivity was taken on both ipad and Original chart like snellen , ishihara and pellirobson and compared in which the results and the accuracy were same. The study also contains questionnaire on the awareness and education about eye health. The subjects included in the study were an age group of 10 to 70. Subjects like infants and blind were not included in the study. Results: During the study it was observed that there is no significant difference in testing of visual acuity between ipad and Snellen standard chart. The subjects responded actively towards screening and that home vision screening can be possible. During the study it was found that 40 subjects out of 100 needed further detailed check-up and were referred in Rotary eye hospital hospital but only 3 out of 40 came for it. This shows that they are less aware and education about their eye health. Software used in IPAD were visual acuity, color vision, contrast sensitivity and amsler tests A questionnaire was also asked which indicated less awareness among the common people. Conclusion: We examined with just an ipad and not an expensive piece of clinical equipment. Extremely simple to use not very expensive and freely available everywhere. The technology is within the reach for everyone and can be personalised differently for everyone to suit their specific needs. Technology and education always move hand in hand for best and easiest learning education system. We can conclude that it is very valuable for patients who are bedridden, very old age and young child can be tested at home with this technology.

Some diabetes patients differ whether to reject or accept preventive health services or healthy living techniques. The health belief model theory asserts that there is a high probability that an individual will respond to messages concerning disease prevention and health promotion when there exist certain four conditions. The first condition is when that individual believes that he is at risk of developing a specific condition. This is also possible when the individual believes that there exist serious risks and consequences upon developing the said conditions. An additional aspect is the existence of a belief that it is possible to reduce the risk through a specific behavioral change. Finally, if the individual believes that it is possible to manage and overcome barriers to behavior change.

The design and fabrication of a low cost pedal operated incense-stick making machine to alleviate the labor intensive work associated with the production of bamboo-cored incense sticks is outlined in this paper. The machine is based on the mechanism of extruding the incense stick paste over the bamboo stick. The main components of this machine include a foot-pedal, a compound gear-train system, rack and pinion system and an extruder. As the paste used is of a semi-solid nature and a high force was needed for extrusion, a confined compression test using Universal Testing Machine was carried out to obtain rough estimates of the force required for the extrusion. During this experiment a known force was applied, varied and exerted on the rack until the paste was extruded out of the die. Using this force estimate, FEA analysis and theoretical calculations, a suitable two-stage compound gear-train system and a foot-pedal was designed. The lever and gear-train system was designed ergonomically so that the applied force results in a minimal muscle fatigue for the operator.

The main focus of the proposed research is maintaining the security of a network. Extranet is a popular network among most of the organizations, where network access is provided to a selected group of outliers. Limiting access to an extranet can be carried out using Access Control Lists (ACLs) method. However handling the workload of ACLs is an onerous task for the router. The purpose of the proposed research is to improve the performance and to solidify the security of the ACLs used in a small organization. Using a high performance computer as a dedicated device to share and handle the router workload is suggested in order to increase the performance of the router when handling ACLs. Methods of detecting and directing sensitive data is also discussed in this paper. A framework is provided to help increase the efficiency of the ACLs in an organization network using the above mentioned procedures thus helping the organization’s ACLs performance to be improved, to be more secure and the system to perform faster. Inbuilt methods of Windows platform or Software for open source platforms can be used to make a computer function as a router. Extended ACL features allow the determining of the type of packets flowing through the router. Combining these mechanisms allows the ACLs to be improved and perform in a more efficient manner.

This study aimed to understand peri-urban areas consumers’ perception of organic food and the importance of organic certification in customers’ decisions for obtaining insights into their consumption of organic food. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey at two main supermarkets in Gatton town (Queensland, Australia). This research showed that 42.4% of consumers purchase organic food at least once per month. Health protection was found the most important reason for Australian peri-urban consumers to purchase organic food. Most of them (89.5%) were interested in organic food, but only around 59% of consumers were confident with the claimed benefits of the food and 42% trust in the organic certification. The more consumers are interested in, trust and are confident with the claimed benefits, the more likely will they purchase organic food. In addition, organic labels and certification turned out to be important for the consumers when shopping organic food. This research was the first study to investigate the consumers’ perception of organic food in an Australian peri-urban area, especially relationships between the frequency of purchase and consumers’ level of knowledge and their behaviors toward organic food. Both practical and theoretical contributions of this study are also discussed.

Normatively, a housing development in Papua is a need that can not be ignored. The relationship between economic progress with the level of economic progress, is bidirectional. On one side of the housing development can stimulate economic growth and development. On the other hand, economic growth, particularly the growth of per capita income will increase growth in demand for home or place of residence. Theoretically, the income elasticity of demand for housing is greater than one. When the economy grew 1 percent, then the demand for housing will grow larger than 1 percent. In other words, the demand for housing is very sensitive to economic growth. Having regard to the economic development of Papua today, then greater attention and seriously to the problem of housing, especially housing should have become the government's main agenda of both central and local government of Papua. The issue is whether the real problem of public housing in Papua? The answer to this question is very important, in order to avoid overlapping of activities and housing policy will only be a waste of resources in Papua

Defoliation of the lower leaves of the stem provides the upper leaves to maximize their photosynthetic activity, thus optimizing their growth and yield potentials. This study was conducted to determine the effect of artificial defoliations on the growth and yield of okra under the mid-elevation condition of Bukidnon, Northern Mindanao, Philippines. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments and three replications was used, namely: T1 (no defoliation), T2 (defoliation of lower half of the stem- DLHS at 5 weeks after sowing-WAS), T3 (DHLS at 6 WAS), and T4 (DLHS at 7 WAS). Results revealed that artificial defoliations significantly influenced the production of pods, weight of pods per plant and the total pod yield per hectare, but not with the plant height, pest resistance, days to flowering, and length and diameter of pods. Removal of the lower leaves of the stem paved the way for upper leaves to intensify photosynthetic activity and minimized mutual shading and competition for foods. Treatment 4 consistently obtained the most number of pods (82), heaviest pods per plant (394.81 g) and highest total yield (9.87 t/ha). Consistently, T4 (defoliation at 7 WAS) registered the highest ROI with 425%, while T1 obtained the lowest with 316.11%. Thus, defoliations at 7 WAS of the lower leaves gave better growth and yield performance of Smooth Cayene variety than those undefoliated under the mid-elevation condition of Bukidnon.

This project is aimed for thermally analyzing stress and strain on cover plate of galvanizing bath tub at Bridge & Roof co. (I) Ltd in order to maintain 450°C in bath tub. Along with analysis part, cover plate shape was modified due to its continuous use & prevailing conditions at the workshop. The cover plate consist of insulating materials compacted to retain the heat in the bath tub. The thermal convection of air is less than thermal resistance of insulating materials used, thus heat loss is negligible. Thermal convection (air) = 0.0579 w/ (m k) Thermal Resistance (Insulator) = 7.046 w/ (m k). Thermal analysis report show, at 450°C. Deformation is effecting end portion = 2-3 mm. Stress & Strain at that portion is also low = 0.1-0.3 Mpa. Heat transfer of air is more than insulating materials. Thus, Heat transfer rate of Insulating materials being low they don’t conduct heat from the bath tub to the atmosphere. So, temperature of the bath tub is maintained. QA = 1806.25 W, Heat transfer rate of Air by convection QI = 270.43 W, Heat transfer rate of Insulation materials

Ghana School Feeding Programme was introduced at Atwima Kwanwoma District and other parts of the country in 2008 to alleviate hunger and to provide good nutrition for pupils in the public basic schools. Caterers were given contract to provide food to the school pupils on every school-going day under Ghana school feeding programme. Some years have lapsed and there is the need to look back and evaluate this programme taking into consideration the award and management of those contracts. The study also examined how the programme is monitored and evaluated. Data was collected from 80 respondents comprising 29 school pupils and 51 other actors through the use of questionnaire and interview guide It was realised that caterers who are well experience in catering services, were awarded contracts based on their past experience and financial abilities through submission of their certificates but not necessarily through bidding. The main component of managing the caterers’ contract included monitoring, payment of debt, and problems solving as well as supervision through visiting the schools on quarterly basis. The programme has helped to increase enrolment and retaining pupils in school. It was found out that food giving to the pupils was not served on time, not regularly bases and was not sufficient to the pupils as well. The health component of the programme has not been successful as expected. It is recommended that fruits and variety of foods need to be introduced together with de-worming the pupils.

The purpose of this research is to study the influence of organizational environment on the selection of knowledge management strategies. The research focuses particularly on the relationship between business and knowledge management strategy and the success of the knowledge management initiatives. This research is a case study researching 2 South Sulawesi banking companies. The knowledge management initiatives were categorized by six criteria (objectives, processes, problems, content, strategy, knowledge type) and their fit with the respective business strategy of the organizational unit was evaluated. The findings in this research suggest a relationship between the success of knowledge management and the alignment of knowledge management and business strategy. The research also shows that an organization whose business strategy requires process efficiency should rely primarily on a codification strategy. An organization whose business strategy requires product/process innovation should rely primarily on a personalization strategy. The most successful knowledge management projects were driven by a strong business need and with the goal to add value to the organizational unit operations. The research shows there are limitations due to the qualitative nature of the research: logical rather than statistical conclusions, small sample size, and subjectivity of interpretations. The research sees that a manager should be aware of the objectives and business processes of the organizational unit and chooses the knowledge management strategy and objective in accordance to the business strategy and objective. Originality/value. The research enhances understanding about the influence of organizational environment factors on the success of knowledge management initiatives.

With the growth of VLSI processing in the industrial sector the design of efficient algorithms for designing compact functional circuits has led to a competition among various industries. Multiplication is basically a shift add operation. There are, however, many variations on how to do it. Some are more suitable for FPGA use than others. In the area of designing fast parallel algorithms for multiplying numbers, proposed algorithm for multiplying two n-bit signed binary numbers needs é 2.71 log2 nù + 3 steps of single bit addition on an n ´n systolic architecture which outperforms the then best VLSI implementable algorithm with O(n) time and O(n2 ) hardware. The subsequent algorithms proposed by him for multiplying numbers in ternary and redundant-radix-four (RR-4) representations require still less time with 2 élog2n ù + 2 and é(1/2) log2n +1ù steps of single digit addition, respectively. Here we have proposed a novel approach for the multiplication of two numbers in RR4 number system. The results has been evaluated in ISE environment and the performance giving satisfactory results.
