Dokra, the traditional art: A journey from ‘margin’ to ‘centre’ [A field study of Bikna Shilpadanga, Bankura, West Bengal]
Nikhilesh Dhar
Abstract: The name 'Dokra' was used to indicate a group of crafts
persons of nomadic type scattered over eastern and central
India and was identified by their beautifully shaped and
decorated metal products which are characterized by its
primitive simplicity, charming folk motifs, rustic beauty and
imaginative designs and patterns. It is one of the earliest
known methods of non-ferous metal casting known to human
civilization as the ‘lost wax casting (cire oerdue) process. But
despite a high demand of the products of Dokra for its
medieval simplicity, enhancing folk motifs and vitality of form
in the local and the global market where fashion and luxury
industries take maximum share in trading market, it seems
difficult for sustenance of Dokra art and craft and the artisans
at Bikna Shilpadanga, Bankura have been undergoing many
hardships in carrying on with this traditional & age old craft
of India. The present paper is, therefore, a modest attempt to
provide an account of dokra craft of Bikna with an objective
of highlighting the current socio economic status of ‘Dokra’
and its artisans and also the benevolent measures already
taken up for the upliftment of the craft and the people
attached to it.

DESIGN OF MODIFIED DATA HIDING METHOD IN LOSSY JPEG IMAGE COMPRESSION
Ankit Arvind Mishra
Abstract: Data covering up is the specialty of
concealing information for different purposes, for
example, - to keep up private information, secure
secret information. Understood system is the
Steganography; Steganography has developed into
an advanced technique of concealing a document in
some type of sight and sound, for example, a picture,
a sound record or even a video record. This paper
displays another Steganography procedure, In this
paper, we propose another high-limit reversible
information concealing technique for JPEG-packed
pictures. This technique depends on changing the
quantization table and quantized discrete cosine
change (DCT) coefficients. A few components of the
quantization table are isolated by a whole number
while the comparing quantized DCT coefficients are
duplicated by a similar whole number and increased
the value of make space for installing the
information. By breaking down the impact of each
single quantized DCT coefficient on the picture
quality, an installing succession is picked keeping in
mind the end goal to help control the expansion of
document estimate in the wake of concealing the
information in the mean time the PSNR esteem
between the first uncompressed picture and stego
JPEG picture is high. Trial comes about demonstrate
that the proposed strategy accomplishes both high
limit and high picture quality.

Identification of disturbed and undisturbed snow
using optical satellite data
Sukhdeep Kaur, Gurjit Singh
Abstract: In Himalaya during winter season, large region is
covered by snow. Amount of snow influences the hydrological
and climatological conditions of region and is responsible for
avalanches which are destructive for life and property. For
reducing the avalanches hazard, a accurate understanding of this
phenomenon is required. Initiation of Avalanche depends on
various parameters i.e. terrain, ground cover and meteorological
conditions of the region. In avalanche-prone regions, it is
necessary to alert the population about such events in advance to
decrease the effects. Many regions of Indian Himalaya were
affected by avalanches. In Himalaya, it is very difficult to collect
the information of avalanche activity using manual methods due
to the inaccessible terrain, harsh climatic conditions and vast
region. Remote Sensing satellite data based techniques are found
useful to collect the information of rugged and inaccessible areas.
This paper presents the general overview of avalanche,
techniques to identify the avalanche incidents or debris and the
analysis of the past avalanche occurrence data of the world.

S.V.Shelke, G.P.Chakote
Abstract�A few applications require discovering objects nearest to a predefined area that contains an arrangement of Watchwords. In perspective of case, online business repository enable clients to determine an address and an arrangement of catchphrases. Accordingly, the client gets a rundown of organizations whose depiction contains these watchwords and it requested by their separation from the predefined address. The complexities of closest neighbor seek on spatial information and catchphrase look on content information have been widely examined independently.
For inquiries on street systems, we propose a novel correct technique, RSASSOL, which signi?cantly beats the pattern calculation by and by. The RSASSOL calculation restores the best protests that around coordinate both the spatial predicate and string predicate. The RSASSOL consolidates the q-gram based transformed records and the reference nodes based pruning.

Hussein KASSEM, Hayssam EL-Hajj, Rabih Rammal, Ismail El-Sayad, Mohammad Hawila, Ahmad Hamdan
Abstract: Material measurement is a very important step to be conducted before integrating materials in components and devices. The method used here is a mono-frequency method using Microstrip Ring resonator (MRR). The material to be measured is placed on the MRR device in a way, the MRR sandwiched between the substrate and the material to be measured thus forming a Non-destructive measurement. The method uses the MRR as a sensor with specific dimensions and specific equation characterizing the relation between its dimensions, layer thicknesses and permittivity of the layers. The inverse problem to extract the permittivity of the unknown material is an equation based one. The results of measurement are compared to those of finite element method simulation software and the error is non-significant.

DISTRIBUTED RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN SDCN-BASED HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS UTILIZING LICENSED AND UNLICENSED BANDS
Priyanka Kumari, Sudeep Kumar and, Jitendra Kumar Mishra
Abstract�Plug-and-play information technology (IT) framework has been expanding certainly all of a sudden in recent times. With the appearance of cloud computing, a number of ecological community and organization paradigms are encountering capacity changes and might have the ability to get rid of their IT framework maintenance processes. Real-time appearance and strong opportunity requirements experience induced telecom organizations to approve the recent concepts of one's cloud variety: software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV). NFV introduces and deploys new structure functions inside a release and consistent IT ecosystem; even though SDN aims to seriously change the style structures function. SDN and NFV are correlative technologies; they don't revolve around on one another. However, the two concepts might be merged and feature the capability to mitigate the demanding situations of legacy networks. In that paper, our aim undergo characterize some great benefits of the use of SDN inside a multitude of ecosystems similar to in info places, info place networks, and Network as Service offerings. We still suggest the several demanding situations facing SDN, originating at scalability to honesty and security concerns, and discuss current solutions to these demanding situations.

Security by Using Encrypted Key Exchange between client and cloud storage: - A Review
Tanuj Sharma, Ankur Tanuja
Abstract�Cloud Computing is a way to increase the capacity or add capabilities dynamically without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. As information exchange plays an important role in today�s life, information security becomes more important. This paper is focused on the security by using encrypted key Exchange between client and cloud Storage and techniques to overcome the data privacy issue. The client only needs to download the encrypted secret key from the Authorized party when uploading new files to cloud. Besides, our design also equips the client with capability to further verify the validity of the encrypted secret keys provided by Authorized party. All these salient features are carefully designed to make the whole auditing procedure with key exposure resistance as transparent as possible for the client. We also check the Authorized party is valid or not like proxy servers the definition and the security model of this paradigm. The security proof and the performance simulation show that our detailed design instantiations are secure and efficient.

Potential of Passive Microwave Sensor for retrieval of Snow Water Equivalent: A Review
Manjinder Kaur,Gurjit Singh
Abstract: Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) information is essential for meteorology, water cycle, hydrology and global change studies. SWE is the one of most important parameter for accurate prediction of snow melt run off. In Himalaya due to the ruggedness and inaccessibility of Himalayan terrain, it is very difficult to monitor the snow cover information. However, microwave-based sensors in various satellites have the capability to estimates the snow cover characteristic i.e. snow depth, snow density and snow water equivalent. SWE estimates can be obtained from passive microwave sensor i.e.Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I),Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Orbiting System(EOS)(AMSR-E),Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR ADEOS-II) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-2 (AMSR-2). This paper briefly reviews historical passive microwave instruments and different techniques to estimate SWE.
