Pages: 122 - 131
Food is a most essential surviving tool fulfilling the basic requirement of hunger and also preserves essential nutrients for good health. Finger millet (ragi) (Eleusine coracana) grains were given various processing treatments like malting, germination, blanching, pressure cooking and roasting to reduce the anti-nutritional factors. The most efficacious processing treatment variant is then further used for development of muffins. In the present study, malting resulted in 54.6 % reduction in Phytic acid and 51.2 % reduction in tannic acid respectively. Therefore finger millets were malted by optimizing the sprouting time for 120 h, at ambient temperature and the flour was obtained for development products. Functional muffins were developed and standardized from finger millet malt. The raw materials traditionally referred to as essential in muffin manufacturing, i.e. and refined flour, was targeted for removal or reduction. Proximate analysis and chemical composition of wheat flour, finger millet flour, finger millet malted flour as well muffins developed from these flours respectively reveled that malting increases the bio accessibility of micronutrients. Muffins were prepared and standardized for two variations i.e. 60 % and 90 %. The mean scores, textural and proximate analysis for control and two experimental variations for muffins were analyzed statistically at 5% significance level.

Pages: 132 - 138
In the field of image processing corruption of images by Impulse noise due to different reasons is common. Impulse noise can degrade the visibility of image up to a great extent hence proper denoising technique for this kind of noise should be there. There are various type of filters used for the removal of impulse noise but every filter has its own limitations. It is observed that the techniques used for removing impulse noise have a problem that they cannot preserve the image details like edges at the high noise densities hence such techniques damage the important information of image during denoising. This problem can be solved by introducing a new approach of impulse noise removal which has the capability of edge preservation. The proposed filter is basically a combination of two different approaches which are bilateral filter and trimmed median filter.

In machine learning and statistics, classification is issue of recognizing to which of an arrangement of classes a new observation belongs, on the basis of training set of information containing perceptions (or cases) whose classification enrollment is known. Progresses in information collection and storage capabilities amid the previous decades have prompted a data burden in many scientific areas. In this paper analysis of the performance of various classification algorithm is done on reduced and compressed data and concluded which data is more effective for classifying the data. Low Rank matrices perform the best among the three and Huffman’s coding is preferred when we want to save memory space and AANNs is efficient when it to reduce the dimensionality of the data. For classification Low Rank Matrices produces more accurate result than other two.

Pages: 166 - 173
Fiber reinforced composites are used in many engineering applications because of their low strength to weight ratio. Delamination is one of the major problems in manufacturing field for using composites as a raw material. In this work, the delamination of basalt fiber reinforced composites was studied with the effect of coolant in drilling operation. The three set of Basalt fiber reinforced composites is prepared by using hand layup techniques with Vetiver and vinyl ester at varying composition. Taguchi design of experiment was used to investigate the effects of drilling parameters such as spindle speed [2500, 2750, 3000 rpm], feed rate (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mm/rev). A series of experiments based on L9 orthogonal arrays are conducted using CNC machine for both with the coolant and without the coolant and resulting delamination factor was determined. It was observed that speed is highly influencing parameters than feed rate for the delamination of the basalt fiber reinforced composites when the coolants were not employed. The delamination is very less even at the high speed and feed rate when the coolants were employed for all the three varying compositions made.

PCB is made of composite materials. PCB consists of a sheet of insulating material, small holes are provided on this sheet for accommodating different components of the circuit to be assembled. A piece of base material on which components are mounted, an insulating material along with the bonding material covered with copper foil gives copper cladded laminates. A laminates is essentially a stack of lamina oriented in different directions, the term layup refers to the composition of laminate. Thermal analyzer are usually posed with the job of predicting the temperatures along and across the plane of PCB(thickness) to understand better effect of thermal gradients and stagnation of heat. The main requirement here is to determine the effective orthotropic physical properties of a copper cladded laminate (PCBs). The use of the “effective†implies properties of the entire laminate i.e. to evaluate effective thermal conductivity, density and specific heat of PCBs, but the in this paper its discussed only to evaluate the effective thermal conductivity.
