A Novel method of spectrum sensing and allocation in
CR based on spectrum trading
Jyoti Shivshankar Swami , Sangita Nikumbh
Abstract —According to survey of Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) in 2002, it has been found that spectrum
access is more significant problem than physical scarcity of
spectrum. With many technological advances in the field of
wireless communication and 3G and 4G technology already
being employed Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services
(MBMS) demand has tremendously increased and with the
standardization of MBMS it has gained significant interest in
the market. Multimedia content requires more bandwidth,
storage capacity and few applications pose tight delay
constraints, so the need to optimize the utilization of spectrum
is felt all the more. With the diversification of wireless
communication services and the proliferation of different
wireless network technologies, the demand for radio spectrum
is increasing dramatically. However, spectrum measurements
indicate that the allocated spectrum is not fully utilized, that
is, there exists unused spectrum. We develop a truthful and
efficient combinatorial auction scheme under a novel
spectrum allocation model. Once the spectrum is sensed next
important step for cognitive radio is allocation of available
spectrum (The available spectrum holes, i.e., frequency bands
assigned to a primary user but that are vacant in a given place
at a given time, can be estimated with spectrum sensing).
There are different spectrum allocation mechanism are
available such as auction mechanism, first come first serve etc.
We use auction mechanism in our project. According to the
usage of secondary user in term of time and frequency and
available spectrum primary operator (PO) allocate this
spectrum on the basis of one time bidding of secondary users.
The algorithm approach will be developed using Matlab
environment.

Optimal capacitor placement using Plant growth simulation
algorithm
Rajvinder Kaur, Amarjeet kaur
Abstract—A distribution system is the interconnection between
the consumers and bulk power stations. Among all distribution
systems radial distribution systems are the most popular as these
systems are cheap and simple in design. Around 13% of energy is
wasted in the form of losses at the time of distribution. This
wastage of energy is due to insufficient amount of reactive power.
So, shunt capacitors are used to provide the sufficient amount of
reactive power. The work is carried out to identify the optimal
location and size of capacitors to minimize the losses and cost of
power loss in radial distribution system. The solution
methodology has two parts. In first part load flow analysis is
used, to identify the candidate location for capacitor placement.
In second part Plant Growth Simulation Algorithm (PGSA) is
used to identify the size of capacitors. Proposed method is
applied to 14 and 57 bus system. All the techniques have been
implemented in MATLAB R2013b environment.

Pressure Swirl Atomizer
Pankaj Dwivedi, Ajit Prakash Rastogi
Abstract—Pressure-swirl atomizers are far and wide used in airbreathing
gas turbine engines as they have good atomization
characteristics and are relatively simple and cost-effective to
manufacture. To reduce emissions, it is critical to design fuel
atomizers that can produce spray with a droplet size and drop
distribution at the desired combustor location. The present work
is an attempt to design and experimentally inspect the internally
mixed pressure swirl atomizer for Micro Gas Turbine
application. In the beginning it gives the introduction to atomizer
& atomization processes. The design philosophy for the design of
internally mixed pressure swirl atomizer and manufacturing of
designed atomizer are done for investigation of the different
consideration like spray cone angle, spray penetration length,
and drop diameter and drop distribution.

Biosorbentfor Lead (11) Removal
Mohd Lias Kamal, Mohamad FirdausJamaludin, SyarifahNursyimiAzlina Syed Ismail,
Non Daina Masdar
Abstract-A study on modified yam leaves with Polyethylenimine
(PEI) were shown to be an effective low-cost biosorbent for
removal of Pb2+ ion in the samples. The SEM analysis revealed
that the modified yam leaf structure become more porous thus
increases its surface area. The adsorption performance in
removing Pb2+ was evaluated in 3 different variables i.e. initial
concentration of metal ions, biosorbent dosage and pH of
solution. The results indicate that the optimum dosage of this
biosorbent was 5.0g with 10 mgL-1 initial Pb2+concentration and
optimum pH is 5.The percent removal of Pb2+ is much higher
when using modified biosorbent compared to unmodified
biosorbent were 99.95% and 96.26% respectively.

Secret Image Sharing Using Shadow Image
Sivasakthivel T, Jebathangam J
Abstract -There are also a number of works on data
hiding in the encrypted domain. The reversible data
hiding in encrypted image is investigated in. Most of
the work on reversible data hiding focuses on the data
embedding/extracting on the plain spatial
domain.This method by reserving room before
encryption with a traditional RDH algorithm, and
thus it is easy for the data hider to reversibly embed
data in the encrypted image. The proposed method
can achieve real reversibility, that is, data extraction
and image recovery are free of any error. Thus the
data hider can benefit from the extra space Emptied
out in previous stage to make data hiding process
effortless. The proposed method can take advantage
of all traditional RDH techniques for plain images
and achieve excellent performance without loss of
perfect secrecy. Furthermore, this novel method can
achieve real reversibility, separate data extraction
and greatly improvement on the quality of marked
decrypted Images.

Experimental and Analytical Studies on Mechanical
Properties of Nitinol Based Shape Memory Alloys for
Biomedical Application
Santhosh N, Venkataramana Reddy, Aswatha, K N Seetharamu, Samal SureshKumar, Anand
Manchalakar, Uday kumar L
Abstract-Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a group of metallic
materials that demonstrate the ability to return to some
previously defined shape or size when subjected to an
appropriate thermal or mechanical procedure. In this work, the
values of the mechanical properties of the NiTi SMA are found
out experimentally using Extensometer and validated analytically
using ABAQUS software. Also, a finite element analysis is carried
out for deployment of a Balloon Expanding (BX) stent with
Nitinol and NiTiCu alloys and results are compared. The results
of the FEA of the stent shows that the stent using NiTiCu alloy
develops less stress for the same 1.0 MPa pressure load as
compared to Nitinol stent. Maximum stress is observed in the
inner bend regions of the stent. For both stents, the displacement
is greater than 1mm, indicating that the stent can move the block
in the artery.

Design of highly throughput FSM based BCD
multiplication technique
Parag shrivastav, Devyansh Rao
Abstract -Decimal multiplication is one of the most
frequent operations used by many financial, business
and user-oriented applications but current
implementations in FPGAs are very inefficient in
terms of both area and latency when compared to
binary multipliers. In this paper we present a new
method for implementing BCD multiplication more
efficiently than previous proposals in current FPGA
devices with 6-input LUTs. In particular, a
combinational implementation maps quite well into
the slice structure of the Xilinx Virtex-5/Virtex-6
families and it is highly pipeline-able. The synthesis
results for a Virtex-6 device indicate that our
proposal outperforms the area and latency figures of
previous implementations in FPGAs.

A new Adaptive Selective Encrypting Method for Highly
Secure data
Akshat Urmaliya, Santosh Chouhan
Abstract— With the development of network multimedia
system, systems will make continuous media streaming. It is
very important to secure networked continuous media data
from potential threats such as hackers, eavesdroppers etc.
The applications for streaming are endless such as video
conferencing, interactive web site etc. Some applications are
Internet broadcasting (corporate communication), education
(viewing lecture and distance learning) web based channel
(IP-TV, internet radio) and video on demand (VOD). In all
the streaming applications, high volume of data is
transmitted over the network. Since traditional encryption
algorithms often fail due to the extra high volume and
latency sensitiveness of media data, security becomes a
challenging task [1][2]. Sending a video stream (such as Video
conferencing, VOD) over a network in real time requires that
the transmitted frames are sent in a limited delay. Moreover,
video frames needs to be display at a certain interval. The
quality of video is directly proportional to the frame rate. So,
if we want to achieve good quality video transmission it is
required that a number of frames will transmitted over the
network in a fixed time frame; therefore, sending and
receiving encrypted packets must be sent in a certain amount
of time in order to achieve quality video transmission over
the network.

Design of Proof mass of micro-fabricated MEMS
capacitive accelerometer with different perforation
and comparison of stress and displacement
distribution
Kamran Akhtar, Nudrat Fatima
Abstract— This work represents a study of perforated proof
mass of a micro fabricated accelerometer with different
perforation shapes, by application of load on different
perforation shapes, stress and displacement is measured and
comparison is done to know the deflection and flexibility of
the proof mass. Previous research has proved that this step is
very significant in deciding the suitable shape of perforation
for desire application. Perforation shapes of proof mass of
capacitive accelerometer affects the sensitivity and other
performance parameters of accelerometer. In this work it is
also shown that sensitivity of proof mass depends on the
dimension and applied load. Eigen frequency analysis is done
to know the stress and displacement distribution on vibrating
proof mass which are used to measure and compare the
sensitivity and mechanical strength of proof mass. As a result
of this study it has been found that the proof mass with
perforation shape of nozzle/diffuser is the most efficient
perforation shape to get better performance from an
capacitive micro fabricated accelerometers.

Generic Model of an Agent Belief for Job Shop
Scheduling and Control of a Manufacturing System
Tochukwu Chiagunye, Eze Aru Okereke, Ilo Somtoochukw
Abstract— This work explores the well known n x m
static Job Scheduling Problem (JSP) [1] in which n jobs
must be processed exactly once on each of m machines.
Each job i (1 i n) is routed through each of the m
machines in a predefined order i where i(j) denotes
the jth machine (1 ʲ m) in the routing order. The
processing of job i on machine i(ʲ) is denoted Oij and
is called an operation. An operation Oij must be
processed on machine i(ʲ) for an integral duration Tij
. The scheduling objective is makespan
minimization. The existing deterministic shop floor
schedulers do not possess the capability that allow the
dispatch of Oij to react to disturbances on the factory
floor, such as break down of i(ʲ), arrival of new job i,
all which require frequent re-planning that introduces
complexities (making the JSP N-P hard). Given the fact
that agent-based modeling (ABM) is proven to be an
effective way of modeling complex systems that are not
easy to characterize analytically, this research is focused
on addressing the JSP by developing an agent-based
model in which the stochastic impact on the dynamics of
the schedule is formulated as a markov chain..

Design and Analysis of Microstip Leaky Wave Antenna
with Adding Monopole Antenna
Marshal David Singh, Vandana Vikas Thakare
Abstract-A monopole antenna is a class of radio
antenna consisting of a straight rod-shaped conductor, often
mounted perpendicularly over some type of conductive surface,
called a ground plane. The driving signal from the transmitter is
applied, or for receiving antennas the output signal to
the receiver is taken, between the lower end of the monopole and
the ground plane. One side of the antenna feed line is attached to
the lower end of the monopole, and the other side is attached to
the ground plane, which is often the Earth. This contrasts with
a dipole antenna which consists of two identical rod conductors,
with the signal from the transmitter applied between the two
halves of the antenna.

Abstract— This paper considered the rate of dissipation of
transient energy as a measure of system damping. The concept is
then applied to determine the additional damping provided by a
static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and a static
synchronous series compensator (SSSC). Analytical expressions
for additional damping provided by these devices are carefully
derived and compared for classical model of a simple power
system. The proposed technique of evaluating system damping is
then tested on a single-machine infinite bus system. The results
obtained in both the systems are then systematically described.

Abstract-The present power system is consisting of
several sub-networks such as generation, transmission,
and distribution sub-networks. Use of new technologies
and the growth in interconnections are continuously
increasing the complexity of the system further. These
highly complex modern power systems are operating in
severely stressed conditions due to economical and
environmental considerations rendering them
vulnerable to frequent failures [10]. Therefore, ensuring
the stability of these systems has become one of the
major concerns for the power system engineers,
especially the voltage stability. This paper provided a
method for improvement of voltage stability in
interconnected power systems using a neural network,
this paper deals with L-index technique to calculate the
stability margins and to furnish the information about
the weak areas in the network. Outputs of this
technique are use to train and test an ANN. The trained
ANN architecture is capable to predict the values of Lindices
and control quantities, i.e. generator excitation
levels and settings of Static VAR Compensators (SVCs)
to keep the system stable.

Fluoride Threat in the Groundwaters of Bommanahalli
Area in Bangalore, India
Shankar B.S
Abstract—In the recent years in the study area, groundwater
forms the mainstay of drinking water supply for meeting the
community needs. But the threat of fluoride contamination is
looming large over the study area. In view of this, it is of
paramount importance to look for and to evaluate the fluoride
levels in the drinking water of the area and assess their status of
portability in the light of the criteria laid by Bureau of Indian
Standards. Fluoride in excess of 1.5mg/L is known to cause
fluorosis disease. Fluorosis is a crippling and painful disease
caused by excess intake of fluoride. Fluorosis occurs as dental
fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis and non-skeletal fluorosis. Sixty
groundwater samples (30 each during pre and post-monsoon
seasons of 2007) were analyzed for fluorides. 40% of the samples
tested were found to contain fluoride in excess of the permissible
results and a clear correlation between the ill health faced by the
public and ground water contamination has been noticed.

in Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom
State, Nigeria
Uwem U. Ubong, Ini U. Ubong, Etim U. Ubong, O. U. Etukudoh
Abstract—A study on the physico-chemical parameters
and some trace metal analyses was carried out to assess
the quality of potable water sources in Eket municipal
area. Four borehole water samples were collected
within Eket at four different locations (BH1 – BH4) and
a control source (BH5) from Onna. Consequently, four
bottled water samples (BW1 –BW4) were also collected
from Eket and analyzed using standard methods of
analyses for physico – chemical parameters and trace
metals. This was to establish statistically, whether there
was any significant difference between the quality of
borehole and bottled water samples, and to compare the
observed results with WHO (World Health
Organization) and NAFDAC/SON National Standards.
The analytical result showed that pH of the borehole
and BW4 were lower than the permissible limit of 6.5 -
9.5 by WHO. They were acidic in nature with data
ranging from 4.3 – 5.10 and mean value of 4.67 ± 0.40
for borehole water. Those of the bottled water varied
from 4.5 – 7.2 with the mean value of 6.45 ± 1.31. The
levels of calcium in borehole water varied from 48.0 –
96.0 mg/l with a mean of 71.2 ± 20.5 mg/l. The bottled
water had values ranging from 84.0 – 97.0 mg/l with a
mean of 91.75 ± 5.6. The observed values were higher
than the threshold limit of 3.72 mg/l by FMENV.
Statistically, the pH data showed that, there was no
difference between the borehole and bottled water
samples as {t stat (-2.923143525) 0.05 ≤ t crit
(1.894578604) 0.05 one tail and t stat (-2.923143525) 0.05 ≤
t crit (2.364624251) 0.05 two tailed for two samples
assuming equal variances. The results showed that
bottled water and borehole water in some parts of Eket
were polluted and require urgent attention and high
levels of treatment before use.

Mathematical Modelling and Simulation Study of Mesoscopic
Heterogeneous Traffic Flow on Multilane Highway
Mohd. Rizwanullah
Abstract—Traffic phenomena are an important question in
modern society. Investigating on regular pattern of traffic
flow has significant meaning. Traffic stream is complex and
nonlinear and defined as multi-dimensional traffic lanes with
flow of vehicles over time. Traffic simulation models are often
used for studies of emissions, security, traffic ability and
traveling times on roads under various circumstances. The
main purpose of traffic flow modelling is to describe the basic
variables of traffic flow and develop mathematical models
relating to them.
Understanding the behavior of traffic flow is essential in the
planning, design of flow control, launching new real estate
projects, construction and operating phases of any
transportation facility. So far only limited number of studies
have been done on heterogeneous traffic. This paper presents
to develop and analyses a simulation model for heterogeneous
traffic flow conditions on a multilane highway. The simulation
model includes component models like frontal spacing models,
acceleration/deceleration models, car following models: Car)
and lane changing models. The model developed was
validated using data collected from The Jaipur-Kishangarh
Expressway (Stretch of NH-8). Experiments were conducted
on validated model to understand the traffic stream behavior
under various flow condition. Stream characteristics is found
to be related with capacity of heterogeneous traffic flow.

performance for various AOA’s. To understand flow
complexity and how to reduce the fluid force parameters with
the help of vortex generator kind of devices. Vortex
Generators are highly efficient aerodynamic devices that are
used widely in both external and internal aerodynamics as
means of flow control. The paper deals with the CFD analysis
of flow over wing at different flow regimes and as well
different AOA’s without & VGs are placed on a wing.
Complete three dimensional results are for the flow over wing
equipped with Vortex Generators with various shapes and
locations over the wing. The drag and lift characteristics of
each shape and locations of VG’s have to be studied. The
analyses has carried out for subsonic (M=0.5), transonic
(M=1.0) and supersonic (M=2.0) flow regimes. The best shape
and location of the VG’s for each of the flow regimes will be
determined. All computations will be carried out using the
RANS modelling which is available in commercially CFD
package.

Data Hiding In Motion Vectors of Compressed Video Based
On Their Associated Prediction Error
Musale Shital Satapa, Pawar Sanjay S.
Abstract—In the today’s world transfer of data over the network
increases tremendously. So, security of data is very important for
secure communication .The steganography is a technique in
which the data is hidden in the multimedia content like image,
audio, video. The cryptography alone is not sufficient for
securing the data. In this paper we compare two concept of data
security using simple LSB & Reed Solomon algorithm. This
paper deals with data hiding in compressed Video. Motion
vectors are calculated using macro block prediction error, which
is different from the approaches Based on the motion vector
attributes such as the magnitude and phase angle, etc.
Information hiding is a method of hiding secret data into a host
medium so that the hidden data are imperceptible but known to
the intended recipient [1]. The host medium may be a digital
image, audio, video, or another type of media. In the image
hiding system, the image used to embed secret data is called the
host image (cover image). The resultant image, which is
embedded with secret data, is called the stego-image.

SMVQ and Image Inpainting Used for Joint Data Hiding
and Compression Scheme
Sagar M. Shinde, K. R. Desai
Abstract—Two different modules viz. data hiding and data
compression are to be combined into one and for this the
techniques of side-match vector quantization and image
inpainting are used. Here, while the image has to be compressed,
the VQ technique is used by default for the blocks in the leftmost
column and the topmost row as these are considered to be
complex blocks. This controls the pictorial alteration and error
dissemination caused by the gradual compression. All the other
blocks are then embedded with the secret bits and also are
compressed simultaneously using either SMVQ or inpainting
adaptively. The compression depends on the current bit that is
used for embedding. At the time of decompression, the
compressed codes are first segmented and these segments are
divided into sections according to the indicator bits. Every
segmented section has an index value, based on which the
decompression technique is decided.

State Of Environment Manipur: An Overview
ArambamSanatomba Singh
Abstract—The State of Manipur is the storehouse of biological
diversity which includes 4000 angiospermic plants species, 430
medicinal plants species, 34 edible fungi species, 500 orchids
species and 55 species of bamboo, 40 endemic rice cultivars, 160
fish species and 21 species of migratory aquatic birds and having
a total forest and tree cover of 17,214 Sq. Km. which is 77.09% of
the total geographical area of the State and 2.18% of the
country’s forest and tree cover. Forest biodiversity of the State
constitute the entire variability among the various flora and
fauna available in the ecosystems of the State. An environment
rich in biological diversity offers the broadest array of options
for sustainable economic activity. However, the State of Manipur
is now facing the problems of biodiversity degeneration due to
varied reasons. The loss of biodiversity often reduces the
productivity of ecosystems, thereby shrinking nature’s baskets of
goods and services, from which we constantly draw. Thus
biodiversity of Manipur has been declining rapidly and the
accusing finger is clearly pointing to human activities.This leads
to environmental degradation and causes ecological imbalance in
the State of Manipur. Hence, it is the need of the hour to make an
assessment of the present State of Environment in Manipur. And
as such, the present study aims at (i) To make an assessment of
the present scenario of environmental quality in the State of
Manipur; (ii) To examine the impact of climate change on the
biodiversity of Manipur; and (iii) To formulate appropriate
strategies for protection of environmentin the State of Manipur.

RSA Encryption to Protect Cloud Data and Encryption of
Private Key to Provide Security
Ritu Raj, P. S. Cheema
Abstract—Cloud computing is fast growing technology it grows
up with time. Cloud is large space which is used by everyone to
store data, retrieve data etc. Cloud service provider provides the
service to user on their demand. Cloud is managed by third party
so data stored in cloud becomes a point of worry for data owner
regarding the data security. To protect the cloud data we
proposed a model in which encrypted data as well as encrypted
private key is store in the cloud. Encryption of data and private
key is done with the help of RSA cryptographic technique.
Encrypted data and private key will store in cloud and on the
request of authorised user encrypted data will send to user. New
user registration is done on the data owner side after register the
new user owner will send the UID, Reg. No. and secret key, with
the help of this secret key user will decrypts the data at their side.
Service provider sends the data on the request of the authorised
user. Service provider checks the UID, Reg. No., if both matches
with the service provider then service provider send data to user
in encrypted form. User decrypts the data with the help of key
given by the user.

Mobile Anchor Path Planning In Wireless Sensor Networks
Using Hilbert
Wilren D’cruz, Ann Susan Varghese
Abstract—In many application require the sensor location.
Basically they are range based and range free schemes. Range
based schemes are more accurate but very complex and
expensive. Other path planning scheme which modifies the path
of the mobile node or anchor instead of random movement like
SCAN, DOUBLE SCAN, and HILBERT exist. A single mobile
node moves through the sensing area. The path of the mobile
node is in such a way so as to optimize the error and locate the
sensors in the sensing field. Obstacles in the sensing field are also
considered. The locations of almost all sensors in the field are
located using a single mobile anchor and the mechanism is
implemented in NS2.

Ambient Air Quality Assessment of RSUST Campus
Air Basin, Port Harcourt
Ini U. Ubong, T.J.k Ideriah, Josephine Igbara, Etim U Ubong
Abstract—The measurement of air quality was done
within Rivers State University of Science and
Technology (RSUST) campus, Nigeria, to document
current levels of air pollutants and also ascertain the
degree of alteration of fresh air on campus, which may
to some extent, interfere with the comfortable work
and learning activities. The environmental air quality
covered measurement of the following parameters
within the University Campus: Sulphur oxides (SOx),
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Ammonia (NH3), Carbon
Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Methane
(CH4), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs),
Respirable Particulate Matter (PM10, PM7, PM2.5, PM1)
and Total Suspended Particulates (TSP). Standard
protocols were used for measurement e.g. portable
digital monitors for air pollutants; geographical
positioning system (GPS) for geo-referencing the
sampling locations and a sound level meter for noise
measurement. The results of particulate matter
fractions showed that PM1 varied from <1.0-15.0 μg/m3
across all stations. The shopping complex had the
highest concentration of 15.0 μg/m3 while the main
Library and Technical and Science Faculty air sheds
had less than 1.0 μg/m3. Concentrations North Easterly
were higher than those of the Northerly. PM2.5 levels
varied from 5.0 - 38.0 μg/m3 in the study area. The
highest value of 38.0 μg/m3 was obtained from the
shopping complex and lowest value of 5.0 μg/m3 from
the Main Library environ. The North Easterly
concentrations were higher than those of the
Northerly. PM7 varied from 18.0 - 54.0 μg/m3 across
the stations. The shopping complex had the highest
concentration of 54.0 μg/m3 followed by the Main Gate
(31.0 μg/m3). Levels at the other two sites were
comparable (20.0-23.0 μg/m3). North Easterly
concentrations were higher than those of the
Northerly. PM10 concentrations varied from 23.0
μg/m3 at Main Library to 57.0 μg/m3 at the Shopping
Complex. Similarly, levels of TSP varied from 27.0 –
61.0 μg/m3 with the highest (61.0 μg/m3) emanating
from the shopping complex; followed by the Main
Gate (54.0 μg/m3). The North Easterly stations had
higher values than the Northerly. 87.5% of the PM2.5/
PM10 ratio data was outside the range observed for
developing and developed nations whereas 12.5 % was
within the range. The Shopping Complex air shed had
the highest concentration of Particulate Matter (PM1 -
10 and TSP). PM1 and TSP did not exceed allowable
limits but PM2.5, PM7 & PM10 showed exceedances
over internationally allowable limits. The PM2.5/ PM10
ratio showed that 87.5% of the data had particulate
matter in the size fractions of 10 microns whereas
12.5 % were in the size fractions of 2.5 microns.
Exceedances were obtained for NH3, NO2, SOx and
H2S in the RSUST Campus air basin. The results of
gaseous parameters showed that Ammonia
concentration ranged from <0.01–3.0 mg/m3. The
highest concentration was obtained at the Main Gate
site followed by the Shopping Complex site. The
remaining two sites (Main Library and Technical &
Science Faculty) had no detectable levels. Exceedances
over recommended permissible value were clearly
visible. Nitrogen dioxide was detected across the four
stations with concentrations ranging from 0.105 mg/m3
at Main Library to 0.169 mg/m3 at the Shopping
Complex. The noise levels on campus ranged from
67.7–75.6 dB(A) with a mean of 71.6 ±2.8 dB. The
highest was obtained from the shopping complex while
the lowest was at Technical and Science Faculty.

Study of Routing Protocol as DSR, TORA, OLSR
Shikha Tuli, Farminder Singh, Ankur Thakur
Abstract—In recent years, a vast research has been seen
going on in the field of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(MANETs). Due to limited resources in MANETs, to
design an efficient and reliable routing strategy is still a
challenge. An intelligent routing strategy is required to
efficiently use the limited resources. Also the algorithms
designed for traditional wired networks such as linkstate
or distance vector, does not scale well in wireless
environment. Routing in MANETs is a challenging task
and has received a tremendous amount of attention
from researchers around the world. To overcome this
problem a number of routing protocols have been
developed and the number is still increasing day by day.
It is quite difficult to determine which protocols may
perform well under a number of different network
scenarios such as network size and topology etc. In this
paper we provide an overview of a wide range of the
existing routing protocols with a particular focus on
their characteristics and functionality.

Computation of Potential Evapo-Transpiration of Yenbo
City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Shams Al Deen M Saad, Saiful Islam
Abstract—Actual estimation of Potential evapotranspiration
over large areas is needed for hydrological studies and other
practices related to efficient utilization of Water resources. To
achieve this Penman Equation is utilized. It is known to be
dependent upon climatic factors. In this study, the potential
evapotranspiration of the Yenbo city has been computed for
three situations i.e. close ground crops, bare land and water
surface considering it as a land use pattern of the city other than
built up areas. The result obtained will help the water resource
management of the city keeping in mind the climate variability
factor. The data for various metrological factors, temperature,
and wind speeds, relative humidity, sun shine hours and solar
radiation for the period of (2004-2014) was collected from
Metrological Department. Using the data, potential
evapotranspiration was estimated using the internationally
accepted PET version of Penman equation. The data was
analyzed monthly. PET was found to show an increasing trend
from January to June and decreasing trend from June to
December having highest PET for the month June.

A Survey of TORA Routing Protocol in MANET
Amandeep Gautam, Jasdeep Singh
Abstract—Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET)[1] is
a quite challenging to ensures security because of
its open nature, lack of infrastructure, and high
mobility of nodes. MANETs is a fast changing
network in a form of decentralized wireless
system. It requires a unique, distinct and
persistent identity per node in order to provide
their security and also has become an indivisible
part for communication for mobile device. In this
phase of dissertation, we have focused giving
security to Temporally Ordered Routing Protocol
Algorithm (TORA) from Sybil attack. TORA is
based on a family of link reversal algorithm. It is
highly adaptive distributing routing algorithm
used in MANET that is able to provide multiple
loop-free routes to any destination using the Route
Creation, Route Maintenance and Route Erasure
functions. Sybil attack is a serious threat for
wireless networks. This type of attacker comes in
the network and they start creating multiple
identities. From that multiple identities they are
disrupting the network by participating in
communication with line breaking nodes. This
cause a huge loss in network resources. These
networks can be protected using network failure
and firewall detection schemes for detecting the
attack and minimizing their effects. Proposed
approach is expected to secure TORA through the
implementation. Performance factor of network
would be taken into consideration in order to
verify the efficiency of modified TORA in
MANET environment.

(PM10) in the Air-Shed of Port Harcourt Metropolis
and Environs
Ini U. Ubong, Ifenyi C. Anunuso, Emmanuel J. Ejike, Uwem U. Ubong, Etim U. Ubong
Abstract—PM10 (Particulate Matter with ten
microns size) concentrations were determined
and evaluated in Port Harcourt, (Nigeria)
Metropolis and Environs. The sampling was
performed with well calibrated equipment (A
Multi-RAE PLUS (PGM – 50) a programmable
Multi Gas monitor with an electrochemical
sensor). The parameter assessed was particulate
matter with, 10μm size fraction (PM10). The
temporal distributions of PM10 for all the
sampling sites show data range at Igwuruta
(Control) varied from 27.3 – 1642.4 μg/m3 with a
mean of 188.1 ± 458.7 μg/m3. Seasonal Variation
for PM10 concentrations were catalogued into
dry and wet seasons. Dry season was observed
as the season with highest particulate PM10,
while the wet had the lowest PM10. Test of
significance showed dry to be significantly
different from the wet [tstat (4.3532).05 ≥ tcri
(2.0017).05].

Implementation of an Intelligent Algorithm for
Effective Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy
Atul P. Shingade, Prachi P. Londe, Harish G. Langar
Abstract—Diabetes is a group of metabolic disease
which causes due to excess in blood sugar of human
body. Blood sugar plays vital role for human health
because it’s an important source of energy for the
development of cells that makes muscles and tissues.
Due to insufficient insulin in human body, retinal
tissues of human eyes get affected. These
abnormalities in retina may results in vision loss and
known as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). DR patients
required regular eye check up as the delayed
detection of DR may lead to permanent vision loss.
An automated screening system can reduce the
burden of medical experts and saves time. In this
paper, we propose an algorithm for effective detection
of DR. The Color Fundus Images will be screened
with preprocessing and severity of the disease is
decided by considering the region properties with
GLCM properties of Color Fundus Images. The
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for
classification of images. The classification accuracy
and specificity is considered as the performance
measures and found 91% and 94% respectively.
