Abstract: - The geo-electrical resistivity profiling and vertical electrical sounding data were acquired from some small communities and their outlying areas within the Gushiegu and Karaga Districts of Northern Ghana, in order to study the aquifer characteristics and recommend hydro-geologically suitable sites to construct water supply boreholes for the communities. The research covered four small communities, namely, Zantele, Kanshegu, Nyengbalo and Zei. The Schlumberger electrode configuration was first used in the line profiling. Qualitative interpretation of the geo-electrical resistivity profiling data resulted in the identification of weathered regions. Vertical electrical sounding using the dipole-dipole array were then conducted with at specific points within the weathered zones. The spread length ranged from minimum of 12 m to maximum of 204 m to provide depth information. Interprex 1X1D v3 software was used to compute layered earth model of the subsurface beneath the sounding points. Interpretation of the one-dimensional inversion of the VES resistivity data provided the overburden and aquifer layering resistivities and thicknesses. The geoelectric sequence revealed predominantly a three subsurface layer which is largely congruous to the weathering profile above the fresh bedrock - thick top soil, the weathered and the variably weathered and fractured bedrock respectively. The geoelectic sections provide no evidence of a descent into the fresh bedrock. The geophysical target is a reasonably thick and extensive zone of saturated weathered rock beneath the overburden. On the basis of the perceived aquifer properties, sites were recommended for drilling water supply boreholes for the communities.

Abstract: - This paper deals with the study of variation in discharge with other parameter constant. In this paper the condition for the optimal trapezoidal round cornered Canal section having radius is less than depth of flow, considering the total cost of Optimal lined section per meter length has been developed. This method is based on trial and error numerical technique. Computer program is prepared in C language and the results are seen by variation in discharge with other parameter constant in two cases when r = f(y) and r = constant. For both cases graphs are plotted and results have been observed. The effect of cost of curve has been seen on the Optimal cost of section. When r = f (y) and r = constant it is observed that for the same values of discharge, cost of side, cost of base, cost of curve the optimal cost of section and b/y ratio is found high in case of r = f (y) as compared to r = constant. The methodology can be used very conveniently by the designers to design the optimal Canal Section.

Abstract: - The channel estimation can be performed for analyzing effect of channel on signal by either inserting pilot tones into all of the subcarriers of OFDM symbols with a specific period or inserting pilot tones into each OFDM symbol. The block type pilot channel estimation has been developed under the assumption of slow fading channel. When the data is transmitted at high bit rates, the channel impulse response can extend over many symbol periods, it leads to inter symbol interference. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is one of the promising candidate to mitigate the ISI. This work improved various channel performance measures based on the comparison of various channel estimation algorithms and suggest a new technique which provides better performance.

Abstract: - Burns is a very critical area of medicine citing the doctors to be on their toes. The prognosis being lowest and treatment the hardest, this area has not cited much research. Largely these medico legal cases are accidental and rare around the world but Indian scenario is opposite. A rural set up here will admit a minimum of two burn cases a day, with 50% chances of it being an inhalational burn. Grave is the prognosis of these patients but attempts if made properly by trained indivisuals can help save life on the edge of death. Method: 52 patients were selected randomly from the casualty of PRH, Loni and were alternately allocated in two groups. The group with traditional approach was named GROUP A and had 16 Patients. The group with changed approach was named GROUP B and it also had 16 Patients. OF them 2 patients from group a died due to severe deep burns in wards, while one patient from group B was shifted to a other burn centre. This led to the final sample size to be 49. The group B received immediate chest physiotherapy as compared to group A which received the same treatment 3Days later. Result: Team approach and early physiotherapy i.e. immediately as the patient is stabilized and shifted to the burn ward, improves the chest condition, prevents post burn chest complications, facilitates healthy recovery and helps improve the prognosis. Conclusion; chest Physiotherapy in immediate Post Burn period is Important and plays a vital role in rehabilitating the patient. It also affects the survival rate

The wind turbine is a technology which converting wind kinetic energy to electric power. Wind energy is easily accessible anywhere in the world and is one of renewable energy. However, some location such as in Kuala Terengganu, the lower average wind speed become one of the factors wind turbines has not been used widely as an alternative method for generating the electric power. Thereby, small scale wind turbine which can generate electric power in low wind speed must be designed. In this study, a Savonius type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) has been designed, fabricated and its performances were tested. A simulate calculation also has been made to expect the power output generated by designed prototype. From the study, found that although low wind speed, small scale wind turbine still can perform its function and generate electric power. It proves that wind turbines can be as an alternative technology for generating the electric power in Malaysia especially in Kuala Terengganu.

Abstract: - There have been many contributors to the art of growing single crystals and varied ingenious techniques have been applied to the problem. Despite the substantial advance in the theory of crystal growth, in practice the growth of a large single crystal must still be approached from the empirical viewpoint. Crystal growth is seldom susceptible to observation during growth. This generally means that the proper growth conditions must be determine by trial, error and once determined means must be available for reproducing these optimum conditions whenever desired. The system must be stable since there is seldom any convenient away for the operator to observe the growing process and compensate for deviation from the ideal growth conditions. The shape of the grown crystal is a result of contributions from lattice force, surface tension, pull rate and temperature gradients in the crystal. The shape of the cross section perpendicular to the growth direction is determined by a balance between lattice force which tends to form equilibrium faces and surface tension which tends to make the cross section circular. The average diameter of the crystal is determined by the rate of pull and thermal gradient in the crystal. Growth from vapor has many experimental advantages to recommend it. If a suitable solvent can be found, crystal growing can be performed at temperatures well below the melting point of the crystal often at room temperature. These low temperature place much less demand on furnaces and power supplies. In addition the reactivity of the solute may be greatly moderate not only by the low temperature but also by the dilution with the solvent. The three techniques usually employed are change in temperature, evaporation of solvent, and addition of solute. The difficulty of controlling the temperature gradients in solution also means that a large volume of solution surrounding the crystal will be supersaturated and labile with respect to growth. The great caution is required in assuring that no spurious nuclei are present. In all subsequent show our growth the main features and study on crystal of this materials.

ABSTRACT : - Ditch cutting samples from an exploratory Nzam-1 well located in the northwestern part of Anambra Basin were subjected to lithological description and palynomorph enrichment and analysis through digestion with Hydrofluoric acid (HF) and floatation with Zinc Bromide (Zn2Br4). The study was intended to determine the relative geologic age and paleoenvironment of deposition of Awgu Formation through the application of palynologic tool. The lithostratigraphy of Awgu Shale is mainly shaley in nature and diagenized at different degrees within various stratigraphic levels. Palynological study revealed that the sequence is dominated by angiosperm pollen such as Monocolpites sp, Tricolpites sp and Retimonocolpites sp. Other diagnostic forms that characterize the formation include Zlivisporites blanensis, Peromonolites perireticulatus and Odontochitina sp. Thus, the Awgu Shale is dated Coniacian age. However, new forms of dinoflagellates appeared in the sediments that are suggestive of transitional environment of deposition.

Abstract:- Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by polymerization induced separation (PIPS) method with nematic liquid crystal (LC) content as low as 40 wt% and the electro-optical properties were carefully investigated. To accomplish this, epoxy curable monomers structure with different composition ratio of two mixtures was examined in PDLC films. The electro-optical properties and morphologies of the PDLC films were strongly influenced by the chemical structure of curable monomers di functional ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) and tetra functional Pentaerythritol tetraglycidyl ether (PTTGE). Higher driven voltage and contrast ratio were achieved when the PDLC films showed a reducing morphology with suitably distributed small holes of LC domain size. The detailed characteristics and morphology of polymer network of PDLC films were analyzed by employing liquid crystal device (LCD) parameters tester and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).It was found that the LC domain size of the polymer network could be regulated by adjusting the structure and composition ratio of curable epoxy monomers, then the electro-optical of PDLC films could be optimized; which is beneficial to decrease the total LC content in PDLC devices.

ABSTRACT : - The choice of flip-flop technologies is an essential importance in design of VLSI integrated circuits for high speed and high performance CMOS circuits. The main objective of this project is to design a Low-Power Pulse-Triggered flip-flop. Flip-flops are the major storage elements in all SOC's of digital design. They accommodate most of the power that has been applied to the chip. Flip-flop is one of the most power consumption components. It is important to reduce the power dissipation in both clock distribution networks and flip-flops. The power delay is mainly due to the clock delays. The delay of the flip-flops should be minimized for efficient implementation. Here three kind of conventional pulse-triggered flip-flop are designed. First, the implicit Pulsed Data-Close to output (ip-DCO) pulse-triggered flip-flop. Second, the Modified Version of Hybrid latch flip-flop (MHLFF) and third is the Single-ended Conditional Capturing Energy Recovery (SCCER) flip-flop. These three flip-flops are studied and designed. The comparison of low power pulse triggered flip-flops between SAL ,SVL logics is carried out and the best power -delay-performance is obtained. The simulation results are obtained with Tanner simulation tool.

Abstract:: - This paper addresses the development and performance of a Human Powered Flywheel Motor (HPFM) operated forge cutter. This set-up is used to cut crop residues like maize stovers, sorghum stovers in dry condition. This cut stovers can be fed to cattle directly. The current practice by small livestock farmers is to cut stover manually by axe or machetes. The mechanized cutters also available which are hand operated as well as electric motor driven. But today there is severe power shortage in country like India, particularly in rural and remote area. It is convergent to the fact that the hand muscles are weaker than leg muscles. The concept of human powered flywheel motor is used to develop the pedal operated forge cutter. In this set-up flywheel is used as a motor or a store for energy. The operator pumps the energy into flywheel by pedaling bicycle- drive mechanism with a speed rising gear pair. After a one minute pedaling is stopped, and then flywheel shaft is connected to cutter shaft. The stored energy is enough to operate cutter effectively and efficiently. The test performance of developed cutter shows the remarkable improvements over hand operated forage cutter.

Abstract: - Groundwater is a vital source that provides drinking water in rural areas of Belgaum district. People of rural areas depend on groundwater for all or most of their supply of their drinking water. Since ground water is the only source of drinking water, its protection and proper management becomes top priority. Further, this water being potable, it has a direct bearing on the health of those thousands of villagers. Hence, the present work is an attempt to investigate the physico-chemical variations and bacteriological studies of ground waters (bore wells & dug wells) collected from rural areas viz Halaga and Honaga, near Belgaum city. The water samples were analyzed for physico-chemical parameters such as pH, total solids, total hardness, total alkalinity, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, fluoride and iron and bacteriological study. Iron content showed high in 5 of 7 & 4 of 8 locations respectively in Honaga and Halaga villages. In 2 open wells of Halaga village TDS, TH & Chloride values are found to be high as compared with that of drinking water standards. In Honaga village out of seven, two sites are having E -coli and in Halaga village out of eight sites three sites are having E-coli. This study clearly indicated that the quality of ground water does not comply with both Indian and WHO standards for drinking purpose. Findings also reveal that almost 70 - 75% of the analyzed ground waters are found to be not useful for human consumption. After having enquiry with the representatives of the rural areas, some suggestions have been made.

Abstract: - The study of the macro and micronutrient status of soil of Pravaranagar area, District Ahmednagar was undertaken at 15 different locations to know their quantity and relationship with pH. soil samples were collected at 0-15 cm depth and used for determination of pH, Phosphorus (PO4), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Chloride (Cl) and micronutrient like Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu). It was observed that all soils were alkaline in nature. PO4-, Mn, Zn, Cl, Cu and Na and K had shown no significant relationship with pH while, only Fe had shown significant relationship with pH. This indicates that pH has influence on nutrient status of soil. However, it was observed that all nutrients were available in sufficient amount for Plant and other organism growth in Pravaranagar area.

Abstract: - Privacy has become an important issue in Data Mining. Many methods have been brought out to solve this problem. This paper deals with the problem of association rule mining which preserves the confidentiality of each database. In order to find the association rule, each participant has to share their own data. Thus, much privacy information may be broadcasted or been illegal used. These issues can be divided into two categories: data hiding and knowledge hiding. This paper reviews the major method of privacy preserving on each category and chooses some of them to complete our system. At the end, an improvement of sensitive rule hiding is proposed to make it more accurate and secured.

Abstract : - Wireless networks have become an integral component of the modern communication infrastructure. Mobile database applications through wireless equipment e.g., PDAs, laptops, cell phones and etc. are growing rapidly. Respect to the limitations in mobile environments, it is strongly recommended to minimize number of connections and volume of data transmission from the servers. Caching data item at the client side is a solution. Moreover, the provision of location-dependent information for the same user at different locations is a challenging problem. In this paper, the performance issues of location-dependent queries is addressed, especially nearest-neighbour search. The system investigates a common scenario where data objects (e.g., restaurants and gas stations) are stationary while users/ clients that issue queries about the data objects are mobile. The grid-partition index is used to answer nearest-neighbour queries directly whereas the area within which the answer is valid can be computed. Moreover, a caching scheme (hybrid and semantic caching) is proposed to record a cache item as well as its valid range.

Abstract: - Mobile devices have become popular in our lives since they offer almost the same functionality as personal computers. Among them, Android-based mobile devices had appeared lately and, they were now an ideal target for attackers. Android-based smartphone users can get free applications from Android Application Market. But, these applications were not certified by legitimate organizations and they may contain malware applications that can steal privacy information for users. In this paper, a framework that can detect android malware applications is proposed to help organizing Android Market. The proposed framework intends to develop a machine learning-based malware detection system on Android to detect malware applications and to enhance security and privacy of smartphone users. This system monitors various permissionbased features and events obtained from the android applications, and analyses these features by using machine learning classifiers to classify whether the application is goodware or malware.

Abstract: - Land use/land cover change in urban area is a complex and dynamic process that involves both natural and human systems. At present, urban area in developing nation is experiencing rapid urbanization and undergoing physical transformation. It is therefore, essential that urban planners and managers understand the past and present land use land cover changes in order to predict its impacts on the society, economy and environment of the cities. This present study aims to explore and assess land use land cover changes in Shillong, India which has experienced significant increase of population during the last three decades mainly due to the growth in service and educational sector. The study monitored land use land cover changes since 1972 in order to assess the development of services activities and its impact on physical transformation. Urban built-up area is an uncontrolled phenomenon with unplanned nature of development. However, urban expansion intensity index in the study area revealed that high speed of land use land cover transformation also occurred sporadically throughout the outskirt of the tribal town also after the state bifurcation in 1972 that perhaps it is a cause of concern to planners.

Abstract: - Nowadays, the Web is an important source of information retrieval, and the users accessing the Web are from different backgrounds. The usage information about users are recorded in web logs. Analyzing web log files to extract useful patterns is called Web Usage Mining. Web usage mining approaches include clustering, association rule mining, sequential pattern mining etc. The web usage mining approaches can be applied to predict next page access. In this paper, we proposed a Page Rank-like algorithm is proposed for conducting web page access prediction. We extend the use of page rank algorithm for next page prediction with several navigational attributes, which are the similarity of the page, size of the page, access-time of the page, duration of the page and transition(two pages visits sequentially) and frequency of page and transition.

Abstract: - Spores of the fern Colysis latiloba reared in Knop's medium with various concentration of sucrose ranging from 0 to 6 % germinated after two weeks. Only 15% spores germinated in the medium without sucrose. Maximum spore germination 86% was observed in the medium with 1% sucrose. Pre-germination stages were almost similar in all the cases. This species exhibited bipolar germination. The gametophyte was thalloid, dorsoventrally flattened and spatulate. Sex organs were not observed up to 23 weeks, which indicates development of apogamous sporophyte.

Abstract: - The process of stress accumulation near earthquake faults during the aseismic period in between two major seismic events in seismically active regions has become a subject of research during the last few decades. Earthquake fault of finite length of strike-slip nature in a viscoelastic layer over a viscoelastic half space representing the lithosphere-asthenosphere system has been considered here. Stresses and strain accumulate in the region due to various tectonic processes, such as mantle convection and plate movements etc, which ultimately leads to movements across the fault. In the present paper, a three-dimensional model of the system is considered and analytical expressions for displacements, stresses and strains in the model have been obtained using suitable mathematical techniques developed for this purpose. A detailed study of these expressions may give some ideas about the nature of stress-strain accumulation in the system, which in turn will be helpful in formulating an effective earthquake prediction programme.

ABSTRACT : - The Upper Cretaceous facies of Enugu Area are part of the sequence in the Anambra Basin of Southeastern Nigeria. These include the Enugu Shale, Mamu Formation, Ajali Sandstone and Nsukka Formation. The deformation structures within the Upper Cretaceous in Enugu area were dominant to sandstones of the Marnu Formation. The white silty fine sandstone, muddy fine sandstone and heteroliths of this formation show various degrees of deformation which were penecontemporaneous with the deposition of the lithologies. The deformation structures include convolute bedding, load and flame structures, slump structures, gravity faults, water escape structures. Other sedimentary structures in the area are wave ripple lamination, hummocky cross stratification, parallel lamination, current ripples, flaser and lenticular bedding, channeling, water level marks, tabular and lenticular sandstone, mudcrack etc. The vertical, inclined and horizontal burrows of Ophiomorpha, Thalassinoides and Skolithos constitute the biogenic structures. Studies have shown that these deformation structures in the area originated from several processes which include the instability of the over steepened depositional slopes, overloading and unequal loading by sediment which produced both vertical and lateral movement (differential liquefaction and thixiotropic transformation) and rapid sedimentation under gravity. Diagenetic and textural studies indicate that the sandstones are now well compacted and lithified. The presence of these inorganic and biogenic sedimentary structures and the general stratigraphy of the area indicate that the sandstones were deposited in a storm dominated and low wave energy marine shoreline environments.

Abstract: - The dinoflagellate cysts from the Upper Cretaceous succession penetrated by Mbeji-1 well in the Chad Basin, Nigeria were investigated. The investigation yielded biostratigraphically significant dinoflagellate cyst species recovered from interval 1600m - 3720m of the well. Based on the stratigraphic distribution of these bioevents, five informal dinoflagellate cyst assemblage zones from the Cenomanian to Maastrichtian are proposed. The zones in stratigraphically ascending order are as follows: Subtilisphaera inaffecta (Zone I), Odontochitina operculata (Zone II), Coronifera oceanic (Zone III), Exochosphaeridium muelleri (Zone IV) and Hystrichodinium pulchrum (Zone V). The ages of these zones based on stratigraphic positions and series of first occurrences of key species are: Cenomanian-Turonian (Zone I), Coniacian-Santonian (Zone II), Santonian (Zones III-IV) and Campanian-Maastrichtian (Zone V).

Abstract: - Our goal is to provide the computer with a natural interface, including the ability to understand human speech for making it easier to use for the visually-impaired people. For this purpose, we propose a way to operate it and harness the power of the Internet with voice commands. It is an intelligent system which enables the user to instruct computer to perform actions through voice commands and also form repository of commands and map them to appropriate actions. At first, the user initiates a command by his voice through the microphone,and then the recognition software of the proposed system will take over to recognize the command. If the recognition is succeeded or matched with one of the given voice command then it will perform the operation according to speaker's command. The operations include downloading, parsing and reading RSS Feeds, downloading and reading user's emails, reading out text files on user's system and updating the user with latest news like live cricket scores, weather forecasts etc. In our proposed system we have used Microsoft's API called Speech Application Programming Interface for text to speech & speech to text conversion and various Java APIs for the underlying operation.

Abstract: - Purpose- The paper seeks to investigate the use of internet by librarians in university libraries in the South-South zone of Nigeria. Design/Methodology/Approach- The paper uses a survey research approach to carry out this investigation. Findings- The investigation reveals that the librarians make optimal use of a few of the numerous information resources on the internet. The librarians' level of internet use skills is only moderate although majority of them derive several benefits from the internet. However, several factors such as inadequate funds, poor electric power supply, inadequate localized software etc militate against their effective use of the internet. Practical implication- Generally, librarians, university authorities, system, administrators and ICT policy formulators will find this paper useful because it enlightens them about the fact that only a scanty use is made of the numerous internet information resources available and the librarians' level of skills for internet use is moderate. Even though the internet is beneficial to the librarians, several factors impede its effective use. Originality- The study offers new insights in the area of internet use by librarians in Nigerian universities. Because the study revealed that, though information professionals, librarians make scanty use of the numerous internet sources, coupled with their moderate skill in internet use, means that, it differs from other studies.
