This project aims at developing an algorithm to optimize the transportation system of our organization. Vehicle routing problem of the institution is taken as the issue which is to be solved. The data's are collected from the transportation department. According to the data, Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the optimal path initially. Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is used to find the critical patha nad critical events present in the network. Then a heuristic approach i.e., Genetic Algorithm is used to validate the result obtained from the Dijkstra's algorithm. Path length and cost is taken as the criteria for optimising the vehicle route. Djikstra's algorithm is used to find the shortest path of the vehicle manually. Then a heuristic approach (Genetic algorithm) is undertaken to validate the result obtained.Keywords

Objectives: FIR filter structure is designed with area and delay optimization is designed using Systolic Architecture and Associativity High Level Transformation technique in this paper. Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter structure with optimized parameters is one of the major challenges in VLSI Signal Processing. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The designed FIR filter is designed using Modelsim for functionality verification and the structure is implemented in Spartan 3E FPGA kit using Xilinx ISE simulator for the analysis of the designed architecture. Findings: The FIR filter is designed with 4-Tap, 8-Tap and 16-Tap length and the designed architecture using Systolic architecture with Associativity technique shows 8.9%, 2.3% and 2.4% reduction in LUT for 4-Tap,8-Tap and 16-Tap filter respectively and 14.22%,11.89% and 12.32% reduction in delay for 4-Tap,8-Tap and 16-Tap filter respectively. Application/Improvements: Further Associativity techniques may be used for future work.Keywords

Objectives: An efficient MAC design is planned for 2’s complement numbers with no more than partial-product creation methodology and diminution tree, whereas the succeeding step trappings an extraordinary sign-conservatory solutions. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Accumulate operations form an important process in signal and image processing applications. To expand MAC execution, the basic way postponement can be diminished by embeddings an additional pipeline register, either in the interior the two rows or stuck between the twos and the final adder. Findings: The 16 bit MAC architecture is implemented using Baugh-Wooley (BW) multiplier with Twin precision concept. The proposed methodology is verified by implementing in a 16 x 16 MAC unit. The performance parameters extracted demonstrates that the proposed Modified Booth with Twin precision based 16 bit MAC demonstrates an area reduction of 45.3%, delay reduction of 30.8% and power saving of 60% when compared to the MAC architectures designed using Baugh-Wooley with twin precision multiplier. Application/Improvements: It performs better than the conventional MAC in all the aspects.Keywords

Beside the availability of many natural sweetening agents, white sugar the chief reason for obesity and diabetics has been consumed as the prime sweetener across the world. The natural sugars are more organic, nutritious, healthy and nutritive in nature. A comparative study was carried out to bring out the benefits of Palm sugar over the refined white sugar. Three common dessert recipes were formulated with incorporation of (Arecaceae Sugar) Palm Sugar as sweetening agent and compared with the dessert samples made out of refined white sugar (Raccharum officiarum Sugar). All six dessert samples are experimented with laboratorial tests. The result of the study exposes the character of the samples and presence of vitamins and minerals exhibiting that recipes incorporated with palm sugar are more medically and nutritiously high.Keywords

Natural and artificial flavours are identical. Natural flavours made by extracting chemicals from natural ingredients, artificial flavours are made by creating the same chemical compositions synthetically. The most popular flavouring compound - Vanilla, can find its application in food and beverage industry, perfume and pharmaceutical industries. This review features natural vanilla flavouring from the vanilla bean. The extraction process, chemical constituents and health benefits are emphasised. Culinary uses of vanilla flavouring are analysed. Production of artificial/synthetic vanillin and its health impact is also highlighted. Food and Drug Administration rules have been discussed. From this context consumer awareness and understanding are significant towards the difference between artificial and natural vanilla flavouring and their associated benefits, which help them to make the right decisions for their well being.Keywords

Orientation: There has been a growing unease in depletion of ground water in Chennai due to the increase industrial population, creating difficulties in day to day operation of hotels.
Research purpose: To list out the problems with regard to water scarcity faced hotels in and around the areas of Chennai. Exhibit the practices and procedures followed by the hotels in overcome these problems.
Motivation for the study: Currently the city is facing a major water scarcity problem which is due to climatic changes, over consumption of ground water supply, lack of water saving activities etc. Hotel industries being a prime user of groundwater exerts a principal role in depleting the groundwater hereby has the responsibility in rescheduling the water conserve practices.
Research design, approach and method: A qualitative and quantitative study has been done in twenty three hotels located in and around Chennai with a well designed questionnaire as the research tool.
Findings: Presently no well planed practices or policies exist in water management at hotel industries. Still many hotels have not implemented water conservation initiatives to save groundwater. Awareness has to be created among the managements, employees and guest to minimise the water crisis.
