Pre treatment of high free fatty acid containing Pongamia pinnata oil using sulfuric acid catalyst has been optimized. The kinetics of the pre treatment esterification process was studied. The experimental results were found to fit a Pseudo first-order kinetics. The influence of temperature on the rate constants was determined by fitting the results to the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy and frequency factor were favorable for the forward reaction. Based on the experimental results, a methanol to oil ratio of 9:1, one percentage catalyst by weight, and a temperature of 60°C, were selected as the optimum settings for the esterification process.Keywords

In this paper we present an approach for Real-time emotion recognition from speech using Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classification technique. Automatic Speech Emotion Recognition (ASER) is an upcoming research area in the field of Human Computer Interaction Intelligence (HCII). Human emotions can be detected from their speech signals by extracting some of the speech acoustic and prosodic features like pitch, Mel frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC)and Mel Energy Spectrum Dynamic Coefficient (MEDC). Here SVM classifier is used to classify the emotions as anger, fear, neutral, sad, disgust, happy and boredom. UGA and LDC datasets are used for offline analysis of emotions using LIBSVM kernel functions.With this analysis the machine is trained and designed for detecting emotions in real time speech.Keywords

The current study focused on the optimization of kojic acid production by a soil isolated fungal organism Aspergillus flavus through Surface Fermentation (SF) by utilizing a novel carbon source i.e. ripened fruits of Muntingia calabura L. Initially the most significant 7 physico-chemical factors were studied for the optimization process through One-Factor-At-A-Time Method (OFAT). Among these 5 influential factors were screened and five-factor-three-level Central Composite Design (CCD) matrix and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was performed to enhance the production rate of kojic acid. Through one-factor-at-a-time method the optimal values were Substrate concentration 100g/L, Peptone concentration 4g/L, KH2PO4 concentration 2g/L, MgSO4 concentration 0.7g/L, pH 6.0, Time 28d and Temperature 30°C and the maximum kojic acid production was 85.1g/L. The maximum production obtained at the predicted optimal conditions through response surface methodology was Substrate concentration 100g/L, Peptone concentration 4g/L, pH 6.0, Time 28d and Temperature 29°C and the maximum kojic acid production was 88.8 g/L. These results directs to the success of the model in improving a process for the production of kojic acid, a significant organic acid with vast industrial importance.Keywords

This article solves the customer complaint of poor performance of brake in certain tractors. This failure was reported particularly in Tractor which is predominantly used for puddling application. After prolonged usage, breakage was occurring in certain area of the actuating link. In order to overcome this problem, analysis has been carried out by using finite element method along with optimization technique. To obtain the best result various link designs have been created in CATIA and optimized with an optimization tool called OptiStruct solver in Hypermesh. The stress and deflection plots of existing and modified link were compared. Then the fatigue life of the optimized model is obtained from Nastran in order to know the life of the actuating link. In the same way fatigue life of the existing and modified link were analyzed and discussed.Keywords

In Underwater Sensor Networks, localization and the security of the node is the important process. Due to the lack of reference anchor node in the distributed localization [1],[4],[5], the opportunistic localization[3] in which the sensor nodes localized by exploiting the available opportunities and to interact with reference nodes to get localized with the minimum localization delay. For the secure transmission of the data between the source and the receiver, the RSA algorithm is used here. If there is attack in the path, the source node chooses the alternative path. In the route discovery process, the routing update condition calculates the node weight of each path and sorts the path weight in descending order and chooses the path which has the largest weight for data communication. The shortest path among all the weighted is chosen using the greedy algorithm. The simulation result shows that the network performance is increased and the packet drop, packet delay is reduced compared to the network with jamming environment.Keywords

A subset D of V is said to be a fuzzy dominating set of G if for every v V – D, there exists u D such that u dominates v. The minimum cardinality taken over all dominating sets in G is the domination number γ(G). Here the critical arc domination is discussed in the following sense: For each node u, v є D with u and v are not adjacent then γ(G + e) < γ(G) for e = uv an arc between u and v. The existence of such fuzzy graph and it properties are discussed. Finally, insensitive node of fuzzy graph is discussed (i.e) if any node is removed from G then its domination does not change.Keywords

Dysarthria is a neuromotor impairment of speech that affects one or more subsystems like laryngeal, velopharyngeal and articulatory. The acoustic characteristics of dysarthric speakers deviate from that of the normal speakers. For the assessment of velopharyngeal dysfunction (hypernasality) inclusion of additional formants and deletion of actual formants are considered as acoustic cues. In this work, a novel approach is proposed for the assessment of dysarthric speech, using linear prediction residual error. Speech signal of dysarthric speakers is passed through inverse filter, designed using the system parameters estimated using LP analysis of a normal speaker, which is the LP residual error, is expected to contain information about the additional resonance frequency introduced due to hypernasality. On the other hand, the reverse process is expected to give the deletion of formants. In order to perform this analysis, an acoustically closer (in terms of formant frequency) normal speaker is to be found. For this comparison, the distance metrics like accumulated residual energy, Itakura-Saito distance and COSH distance measures are used. The LP-based magnitude spectra of the residual error, derived as mentioned above, contain information about the deletion and addition of resonant frequencies. Acoustic analysis is performed on 18 hypernasal speaker's speech data collected from AIISH, Mysore and 15 normal speakers‟ speech data collected in the laboratory environment and 10 dysarthric speakers‟ data from Nemours database of dysarthric speech. It is observed that out of 10 dysarthric speakers of Nemours database, four speakers are found to be hypernasal.Keywords

Prevalence of obesity, aptly described as a genetic misfortune, has reached epidemic dimensions worldwide and is continuing to rise at an alarming rate even in developing countries where human hunger is the other side of the coin. It is estimated that more than 300 million people worldwide are obese. According to Koon prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in India are 12.8 and 10.3 per cent respectively. Diet, eating pattern, physical inactivity, sedentary lifestyles, environmental factors, alcohol consumption and psychological factors contribute to obesity. This global epidemic is related to increased mortality and morbidity rates with excess body fat being a significant risk factor for a number of chronic disorders such as CVD, NIDDM, gout, gall stones, intestinal blockage, kidney disease, sleep apnea, hernia and arthritis.- Improving the Invitro Availability of Iron from Selected Mungbean Recipes

Anaemia is estimated to affect 3.5 billion individuals in the developing world and more than 320 million people in India with the highest prevalence among women and children (40 to 80 per cent pregnant women, 60 to 70 per cent children and 50 per cent adolescent girls)'. Improvement in supply and consumption of iron rich foods and enhancing the bioavailability of iron from foods are important strategies to improve the iron status of populations. In many parts of the developing world where a vegetarian diet is an economic necessity, non-haem iron is the most important source of dietary iron. Leguminous seeds are an important source of iron in many regions and among the legumes used in India, mungbean (Vigna radiata) occupies a main place.- Effect of Exclusive Breast Feeding vs Bottle Feeding

Birthweight is the single most important predictor of infant survival since both neonatal and post neonatal mortality increase exponentially with decreasing birthweight. The seed of death is sown in a majority of low birthweight (LBW) infants much before they are born and so many are more likely to die early and those who survive suffer illness, stunted growth and other health problems even as adults.- Book Review

Good health is an asset in this modern scientific world. However since the first recorded history, diseases have been known to exist. Worldwide attempts to eradicate yaws, malaria and small pox have all been effective to varying extents, but still some diseases have to be explored and controlled. As we begin to control the majority of infective diseases newer ones crop up and of these coronary heart disease is man-killer number one today. Smoking out-weighs all other reported risk factors for peripheral vascular diseases. The average increase in death rate in smokers is 70 per cent more than that of non-smokers.- Enhancing the Nutritive Value of Convenience Foods by Incorporating Green Leafy Vegetables

Causes of poor pregnancy outcome are complex and deep ischolar_mained in India. When pregnant women at risk do not have adequate access to proper diet and care during the antenatal period, at delivery or post partum, high maternal mortality is inevitable. Nearly 70 per cent of the Indian women of child bearing age reside in rural areas, where facilities for special care is limited. Risk scoring systems play a vital role in the identification of high risk pregnant women in such areas.- Impact of Iron and Vitamin A Supplementation on Anaemic Pregnant Women

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated significant relationships between serum vitamin A level and biochemical Indicators of Iron status. It is assumed that vitamin A is involved in the regulatoin of iron transport from the llver. It is also believed that vitamin A Improves the haemoglobin level by improving the absorption or utilisation of iron by the bone marrow. Recent studies done at different centres in India have shown a beneficial effect of vitamin A supplementation to pregnant women on haemoglobin values. This is significant. In the context of high prevalence of both anaemia and vitamin A deficiency in pregnant women. Hence, the present study was planned io study the impact of iron and vitamin A supplementation on anaemic pregnant women.- Biochemical Profile of Selected Normal Healthy Adult Men and Women

Plant, foods such as cereals and legumes have consistently been listed as the major potential sources of dietary protein for feeding the world of tomorrow. In view of the growing demands for food grains in India where rice and wheat production may reach a plateau, exploitation of millets and less used cereals as food grain becomes inevitable. Although the chemical composition or amino acids make up of a dietary protein may give an elegant representation of the value of protein, it is necessary to verify in quality by actual biological experiment.- Adequacy of Recommended Dietary Allowances of ICMR for Adolescent Girls

While a variety of deficiency diseases exist among expectant and nursing mothers and other population groups, the major types observed are protein energy malnutrition, hypovitaminosis A and anemia. The low serum retinol levels among expectant mothers affect the foetal stores of vitamin A and the most lamentable consequence of such poor vitamin A status of the infant, is blindness. Hence improving the vitamin A status of the expectant mother will go a long way in preventing child blindness.- Sea Foods and Fish Oils in Human Health and Disease

The nutritional status of the exterogestate infants in the first year of life depends on the foetal stores of nutrients, maternal diet in pregnancy, the nutritional status of the mother and methods of infant feeding. Nursing the child makes extra demands on the mother consequently there is an increase in her requirements for energy, protein, minerals and vitamins. Only when these requirements are fulfilled the nursing mother can secrete adequate milk of good quality for her growing infant. Hence it is a regrettable fact that breast feeding is on the decline. The health of the infant and its mother must be ensured by disseminating information on the benefits of breast feeding.- Nutritional Profile of Selected Nursing Mothers in Coimbatore City

Nursing the child is an ancient, physiological process. Human milk is highly protective against infant malnutrition and the associated infective diarrhoea. All mammalian milks meet the highly specific physiological needs of each species, to ensure the optimum growth and development of the infant. The first step in successful breast feeding is maintaining at an optimal level the nutritional status of the mother.

Population growth has become one of the most serious development problems in world ecology. It appears to have an independent momentum that does not respond spontaneously and automatically to other developmental variables. Better nutrition could be used as a means of arresting the population growth. Better infant nutrition would kindle the desire of individuals to control the number of their offsprings but such a trend is impossible in the presence of high infant and maternal mortality. There is little knowledge about the effects of better nutrition on the reproductive capacity, foetal wastage and the ability of the mother to breast feed her baby successfully. Therefore this study was undertaken to assess the impact of the nutritional status of expectant mothers on the health status of the infants and their lactation.- Quality Control in the Animal Feedstuffs Manufacturing Industry

This article introduces a power efficient application of FPGA created through a Memory Built in Self Test (MBIST). It has 2-bit Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) array, which changes the direction of the previous process and creates high MBIST structures. This unwanted change affects all MBIST’s power consumption. The proposed MBIST with LFSR ring reduces the power consumption problem. The 2-bit 2N bit model generator is connected to the 2-bit (N-2) and 2-bit 4-bit (N-2) LFSR model generator, which are separately controlled using two separate clocks with two different frequencies, creating each location address high memory test. The proposed architecture has been implemented on Vertex4 FPGA technology in Xilinx software. The results enhance proposed design’s performance when compared it with the existing design.Keywords

Alzheimer's disease is an age-associated, irreversible, progressive neurodegenerative disease which is characterized by severe memory loss, unusual behavior, personality changes, and a decline in cognitive function. Even today Alzheimer disease is spreading in very fast pace though large number of researchers and manufacturers are engaged to find effective medication but result is not satisfactory. Most of the drugs or medicines have high tendency of side effect. This fact made me inclined towards plants to execute the research work. Normally it is observed that side effects in plant derivative are very less. Most potential target for the treatment and slowing down of Alzheimer disease progression is cholinesterase inhibitors from plants. The anti oxidant and anti cholinesterase activity of various extracts of Citrus maxima fruit peels were studied by DPPH assay and Hydrogen Peroxide radical scavenging effect for in vitro analysis; Whereas Ellman's colorimetric methods were used for anti cholinesterase activity estimation. Ethanolic extract shown the potent anti oxidant (DPPH; IC50=25 μg/ml , HPSA; IC50=54 μg/ml) and anti cholinesterase activity with IC50 value of 115 μg/ml. These plants were found to be potent enough to be studied further for its in vivo Anti Alzheimer disease and to perform formulations.Keywords

Identification and adaptation of rice genotypes with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a potential approach in optimizing N
requirements, lowering the cost of cultivation and reducing the environmental pollution through the reduction of nitrous oxide
emission in rice. Three rice genotypes differing in their NUE were grown in hydroponics and field conditions and characterized for
physiological, yield parameters and NUE indicators along with expression analysis under low and recommended nitrogen conditions.
Significant variations were observed in 18 physiological, yield parameters and 8 NUE indicators among genotypes confirming the
genotypic variability for the traits under low nitrogen conditions. Reduction of yield related parameters except thousand grain
weight were noted. Correlation analysis of various yield components explains the significance of total biomass for grain yield,
straw yield, N content in grain, straw and nitrogen absorption efficiency. Differential expression of OsNIA2 gene in NUE efficient
genotypes viz., in shoots of GQ25 and ischolar_mains of IR55178 in the present study suggests its possible role in N metabolism and is
encouraging for exploring the possibilities of improving nitrogen use efficiency in rice.

Wireless Communication, Vol 10, No 7 (2018), Pagination: 124-126Abstract
With the advent of technology, embedded systems play a major role in various fields. In early stages for shooting wildlife videos and photos, the photographers used to spend more time for a single shot. The major disadvantage is that the shot taken may not be the required shot, so the work and energy used may be wasted. To overcome the above mentioned problem the surveillance system method was introduced. This proposed system will rectify the above mentioned problems with high efficiency. The NOOBS software is used for interfacing the hardware components and python is used as coding language. The working of surveillance system is as follows, when the camera is said to be turned ON, it will keep recording the whole footage without any human touch. When the obstacles are detected by PIR sensor, the PI camera is turned ON and it is identified by LED. The obstacles are captured by the camera and the captured footage is taken from the fixed location. If the obstacle goes out of range, the camera goes to sleep mode, which results in saving the power.

Efficient traffic management in wireless networks is crucial for optimizing resource utilization and enhancing overall network performance. This paper introduces a novel approach to dynamic routing algorithms utilizing evolutionary algorithms for effective wireless traffic management. The proposed system leverages the adaptability and optimization capabilities of evolutionary algorithms to dynamically adjust routing paths based on real-time network conditions. Our algorithm employs a genetic programming framework to evolve and refine routing strategies, considering factors such as network congestion, link quality, and traffic load. This dynamic approach enables the network to autonomously adapt to changing conditions, ensuring optimal route selection for data transmission. The evolutionary nature of the algorithm allows it to continually learn and improve, making it well-suited for the dynamic and unpredictable nature of wireless environments. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through extensive simulations, demonstrating significant improvements in terms of throughput, latency, and overall network efficiency compared to traditional static routing approaches. The system ability to handle diverse traffic patterns and adapt to varying network scenarios positions it as a robust solution for next-generation wireless networks.Keywords
