Ceramic waste is one of the most pronound research areas that include many area of engineering. Ceramic waste act as pollutants. It is producing dust which is harmful for public health as well as agricultural growth. Utilization of ceramic waste is the best way to protect the environment and also improve the quality of product where it will use industries like construction agriculture, paper, and glass are the best utilizer of ceramic waste. In construction industries ceramic waste can be used to produce ecofriendly concrete. In this project work ordinary Portland cement has been replaced by ceramic waste powder accordingly in the range of 0%, 15%,25%,35%,45% and 55 % by weight of cement in M : 25 and M:40 grade of concrete. Concrete were produced and tested with different proportion of ceramic waste and with super plasticizer for M:40 and result were compared. These test were carried out for 7 days, 14 days and 28 days. Result was an increase in strength in properties of concrete up to replacement of 25% and 15 % for M: 25 and M: 40 respectively. This project work related to experimental investigation to evaluate the characteristics compressive strength of concrete and optimum proportion of replacement ceramic waste. The aim of this project is to establish the sustainable concrete by effective replacement of cement with ceramic waste.

Radiator water pump holds an important aspect as far as engine cooling system is concerned. Conventional mechanically driven water pump accounts for 10-12% of total mechanical losses as referred in the literature. Reduction in this loss would therefore result in the increase in efficiency of engine. Instead of crankshaft driven water pump, electrically driven water pump holds key in achieving better efficiency.an electric motor is used to drive the centrifugal water pump. Motor gets its power from the battery which continuously gets charged by an alternator. Then the experiment had been conducted to verify the effectiveness of electric pump over the mechanical one.

A Review on Speckle Noise Reduction in Ultrasound Images by Comparing Various Filters

Pages: 15 - 17
Speckle noise is a different kind of noise which mostly occurs in coherence imaging system like ultrasound images, lasers, sonar, synthetic aperture of radar etc. So, in ultrasound images, the presence of speckle noise results in decrement of quality of an image and due this noise it becomes difficult for human and doctors to diagnose. So it cannot be possible to interpret the change with naked eyes. It also becomes hard to differentiate between speckle noise and clinical information because speckle noise behaves like information. So it is necessary to overcome this problem by reducing noise. Many numerical methods are proposed for filtering of speckle noise or speckle suppression. This paper presents a comparative review of various speckle reduction filters. These filters have different results and behaviour. Similarly some filters do better coherence, edge enhancement and segmentation etc. In the end, it provides some commonly used filtering techniques for de-noising.

Pages: 18 - 23
A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a compilation of mobile nodes (stations) communicating in a multi hop way without any lasting infrastructure such as access points or base stations. MANET has not well precise security method, so malevolent attacker can effortlessly access this type of network .In this paper we examine different type of attacks which happen at the diverse layer of MANET.

In recent years, a vast investigation has been seen going on in the field of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). Due to inadequate assets in MANET, to plan an effective and trustworthy routing policy is still a challenge. An intelligent routing strategy is required to efficiently use the limited resources. Also the procedures designed for old-style wired networks such as link-state or distance vector, does not scale well in wireless atmosphere. Routing in MANET is an inspiring task and has received an incredible amount of devotion from researchers around the world. To speechless this problem a number of routing protocols have been established and the number is still growing day by day. It is quite challenging to control which protocols may accomplish well under a number of dissimilar network situations such as network size and topology etc. In this paper we provide an indication of a wide range of the current routing protocols with a specific focus on their appearances and functionality. Also, the assessment is provided based on the routing policies and information used to make routing verdicts. The presentation of all the routing protocols is also discussed. Further this study will help the researchers to get an indication of the existing protocols and recommend which protocols may perform better with respect to changeable network scenarios.

Water is a precious natural resource for all forms of life. Ground water is one key factor that play pivotal role in maintaining the economic worldwide. The scarcity and pollution of groundwater has become serious problem in the arid zones. The objective of the current study was to assess the biological characteristics of ground water in the rural and urban parts of Alagilat area, Libya. Sixty fife samples were collected from 26 villages in 2013.The microbiological quality such as fecal coliform(FC),and Escherichia coli(E.Coli) were enumerated using most probable number (MPN). Based on the outcomes of this study the fecal coliform presented in 63.1 % of the total samples, whereas E.coli was detected in 26.2% of the contaminated ones. The results revealed that the polluted water wells are due to intrusion of sewage and discharge of untreated sewage water into the ground. The study also revealed that the contaminated wells are not safe for drinking purposes.

One of the greatest challenge of traditional skin segmentation is false positive rate increases when skin tones are under shadow conditions and overlapping of skin pixels and non-skin pixels. This paper presents an effective approach to shadow removal and skin segmentation in both RGB and HSV color space and it is a deep neural networks to learn high-level representations of skin tones. Firstly, shadow from the input images or frames of video is detected by using hybrid shadow detection algorithm and then removed using correlation based neighbourhood matching algorithm. After the image enhancement, the skin segmentation is done by using triclass thresholding. Skin region recognition can be done by using VGGNet and has learned rich feature representation for a wide range of images. Instead of predicting each pixels individually, we utilize block of pixels for skin segmentation to avoid overlapping of skin pixels and non-skin pixels.

American psychology association describes that the relationship between the depression and inadequate lactation are not clear. This articles provides an overview of breast feeding practices, newborn care and lack of maternal and newborn care among lactating mothers with depression. Postnatal mothers was estimated by using modified Hamilton depression rating scale. 50 depressed mothers with inadequate lactation were selected. Among 50 mothers, 12 mothers (24%) were mildly depressed, 31 mothers (62%) were moderately depressed and 07 mothers (14%) were severely depressed. The results of this study reveals the mean depression score was 7.59, SD was 2.172 and mean percentage was 25.86 which reveals a significant association between the level of depression among inadequate lactation and selected demographic variable. Depression among mothers with inadequate lactation are the serious threat for the mother as well as for the infant. The findings of this study suggests that majority of the mothers were depressed during postnatal period due to inadequate lactation where the preventive management of the risk group should be carried out in the antenatal period itself.
