Institute of Technology (VIT) University, Vellore - 632014,
Tamil Nadu (India)
Concrete is well known for its capacity to endure high
temperatures and fire, owing to its low thermal
conductivity and high specific heat. It does not mean that
high temperatures as well as fire does not effect concrete.
Characteristics such as colour, strength, durability,
surface appearance will be affected due to high
temperatures. Therefore, improving concrete at high
temperature is a field of interest in the present day. Fire
resistance of concrete is highly dependent on its
constituent materials, particularly pozzolana. In this
study, an experimental investigation has been carried out
to evaluate the influence of gypsum an strength
behavior/mechanical properties o concrete at elevated
temperatures. Cement has been replaced partially by
gypsum at 5%, 10% and 15% by weight. Based on test
results, the strength behavior of concrete using gypsum at
normal temperatures as well as at elevated temperatures
will be studied. The results showed that addition of
gypsum to concrete improves the performance of
concrete, when exposed to elevated temperatures.
Key words: Gypsum, normal temperature and high
temperature

An analytical study on performance of diagrid
structure using nonlinear static pushover
analysis Kiran Kamath, Sachin H
MIT Manipal (India)
In this study an attempt has been made to study the
performance characteristics of diagrid structures using
non-linear static pushover analysis .The models studied
were circular in plan with varying aspect ratio (L/B) from
2.67 to 4.26 along with three different slope angles of
external braces. The width of the base is kept constant at
12m and while its height is varied with three different
slope angles viz. 59°, 71° and 78°of the braces. The
nonlinear behaviour of the elements were modelled using
plastic hinges based on moment curvature relationship as
described in ASCE 41-13, FEMA 356, and FEMA 440.
Parabolic distribution of lateral load in accordance with
IS1893:2002 was used to generate the capacity curves.
Performance points were obtained using the FEMA 440
procedure. Seismic response like base shear, roof
displacement corresponding to performance point were
evaluated using nonlinear static analysis and results were
compared. For an inclination of 59° & 71° the base shear
at performance increased up to an aspect ratio 3.20 after
which a downward trend has been observed. Whereas for
a slope angle of 78° a continuous downward trend is
1
observed. The roof displacement increases as aspect ratio
increases with all slope angles under study.

Solid waste generation is increasing worldwide owing to
population growth, urbanization, industrial activities and
variations in lifestyle. Disposal of solid wastes from
cogeneration plants such as fly ash, rice husk ash and
bagasse ash becomes awkward as a result of
environmental constraints. On the other hand, usage of
these solid waste materials as a supplementary
cementitious material in concrete has become an
alternative method to disposal. Supplementary
cementitious materials are extensively used in concrete
because of the enhancement of fresh and hardened
properties compared to ordinary Portland cement as a
results of pozzolanic reaction and pore refinement
process associated with reactivity of material. Sugar plant
ingests orthosilicic acid from ground water, which is later
polymerized as reactive silica in the plant cells. When
bagasse and rice husk are burnt as fuel in the cogeneration
boiler, reactive amorphous silica is formed because of
combustion process and it is present in the residual ashes.
In addition to silica, sugarcane bagasse ash and rice husk
ash have higher carbon content due to presence of
unburnt particles and it significantly influences on the
pozzolanic performance in concrete. Furthermore, higher
carbon content leads to adverse effects in concrete such
as reduction in workability and strength. Even though, a
number of earlier research studies has been suggested that
bagasse ash and rice husk as an excellent pozzolanic
material, influence of carbon content on pozzolanic
reactivity is not reported in the existing literature. A
detailed study on the influence of carbon content in the
residual is imperative to achieve maximum reactivity as
well as superior alternative cementitious material. In the
paper, carbon content in the residual bagasse ashes were
determined using more appropriate methods and its
influence on reactivity was investigated. Results from the
study showed that considerable difference in carbon
content between elemental method and loss on ignition
method. Moreover, pozzolanic performance was found to
be increased with reduction in carbon content in the
residual ashes.

Fly ash is widely used as a supplementary cementitious
material in blended concrete. Due to implementation of
new thermal power plants as a consequence of electricity
demand, generation of fly ash is noticeably increased. In
addition to blended cement production, it is very
imperative to use raw fly ash in concrete. Earlier research
studies investigated the performance of processed fly ash
in blended cement production as well as in concrete. In
general, ground fly ash is used in blended cement
production. A comprehensive study on the performance
evaluation of raw fly ash in self compacting concrete is
not available in the existing literature. Moreover,
utilization of raw fly ash in special concrete such as self
compacting concrete is essential to comprehend the
performance of raw fly ash blended concrete compared to
Ordinary Portland concrete. Additionally, it will help to
achieve maximum utilization of raw fly ash as a
supplementary cementitious material rather than disposal
as a waste which leads to severe environmental
degradations. In the study, raw fly ash was collected and
is directly used in self compacting concrete. Nine mixes
were cast with three different binder contents and
hardened characteristics of blended concrete were
investigated. Results from the study showed comparable
performance with control concrete. Furthermore,
significant reduction in permeability was observed for
blended concrete.

Supplementary cementitious materials are commonly
used in concrete due to their superior performance such
as higher strength, low heat of hydration when compared
to ordinary Portland cement. In addition to pozzolanic
benefits, utilization of these materials leads to durable
and sustainable concrete. Although several pozzolanic
materials are available including industrial by-products
for use in concrete, their effect utilization is considerably
restricted due to inadequate performance evaluation in
concrete. Sugar bagasse ash is a by-product from the
sugar industry that is directly disposed as a waste material
which leads to significant environmental degradation.
Pozzolanic characteristics of sugarcane bagasse ash have
been evidently reported in the previous research studies.
2
However, durability of bagasse ash blended concrete and
its service life prediction are not reported in the existing
literature. In the study, sugarcane bagasse ash was
processed based on appropriate characterization scheme
and bagasse ash blended cements were produced.
Permeability of bagasse ash blended concrete was
investigated and compared with Portland cement
concrete. The results of accelerated durability tests will
be correlated with the parameters influencing the long
term performance of the concrete. The service life of
concrete structures built with bagasse ash blended cement
will be estimated based on the test results obtained.

The Application of HPC in Ahwaz Subway Stations
Watertight and the Removal of Insulation
Khashayar Bagherinia, Abdolkarim Abbasi
Department of Civil Engineering, Khouzestan Science and
Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Ahvaz, Iran
With the growing development and advances of mega
railway projects and in particular railway projects in Iran,
the necessity to use resistant structures against destructive
and effective factors in structure life to have long
structure service life in corrosive environmental
conditions makes it necessary to utilize durable
constructional materials against above mentioned factors
in order to guarantee structure service life and, in turn, the
project. The most destructive element in the structure is
water with harmful minerals like sulfate and chloride
ions. Therefore, if penetration into the structure is
prevented and it continues during the utilization years,
then structure life is ensured against destructive and
corrosive factors in the course of utilization. There are
some measures to prevent above mentioned solute
penetration with water into the structure which need to be
used for underground structures such as urban railway
stations in severely corrosive environmental conditions
according to common codes. Taking the environmental
conditions, project requirements, and value engineering
into account, optimal executive procedures, the
obligation to pass from city centers, and the placement of
stations in downtown made the usage of HPC necessary
through the approach of eliminating temporary and
support structures, pressure constraints, and conventional
insulation methods in Ahwaz Urban Railway System
Line 1. Then the HPC positive features are efficiently and
effectively utilized. Top-Down method is one of unique
methods to implement the station structure. Using this
method is not possible without the application of HPC to
implement structure watertight and prevent the chloride
and sulfate attack in highly corrosive environments.
Concrete durability has always been the center of
attention in the course of utilization.

Brick is one of major construction material and is widely
used in construction. Cost of clay brick is considerably
increased due to its higher demand, transportation,
unavailability of raw materials and environmental
restrictions. Moreover, fly ash based un-burnt bricks are
commonly used because of its availability as well as
superior performance. In the recent years, lot of clay and
fly ash brick production units has been started due to their
demand. At the same time, quality control of in-situ
bricks which are directly supplied to the construction are
not adequately controlled. Brick quality is significantly
influenced by its raw materials such as clay and fly ash.
Moreover, characteristics of fly ash and clay vary to a
greater extent in different regions in India. A
comprehensive evaluation of quality of in-situ bricks
from different units is not available in the existing
literature. In the study, clay bricks and unburnt fly ash
bricks were collected from different production units and
their characteristics were evaluated. Results from the
study showed that considerable variations in fly ash
bricks compared to standards specifications.

The increasing population and large scale growth with the
development of modern science and technology has
indicated very high stress on water sector in Rajasthan in
India. Availability of water and uniformity of rainfall
distribution is changing day by day due to shifting of
monsoon in Rajasthan. The spatial and temporal
variations in the rainfall in different river basins in
Rajasthan are drastic due to which flood situation arises
in the tributaries of Chambal river basin every year.
Simultaneously on the other hand drought situation arises
in the other different places in the most of the river basins
which are also under dark zone. In totality natural water
resources are also limited in Rajasthan so there is an
urgent need for its proper planning, development and
management of the available water duly taking care of
environmental, ecological, socio-economic aspects and
their inter-relationships .
Annual surplus water of about 1437 MCM in the river
Chambal is going waste and ultimately reaches to sea
after creating flood situations in various places in India
including Rajasthan, while on the other hand 1077 MCM
water is a requirement in the four other basins in
3
Rajasthan i.e. Banas, Banganga, Gambhir and Parbati at
75% dependability. Interlinking and surplus water
transfer from Chambal to these four deficit river basins is
the prime solution for which 372 Km link channel
including 9 Km. tunnel of design capacity of 300 cumec
with 64 metres lift is required.

Sun Path Diagram For Jaipur, Rajasthan
Pavithra Radhai KVN, Gayathri NS, Janani M
School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada
Sun-path diagram provides the relative position of the sun
throughout the year; that determines the seasonal and
hourly changes. It helps in deciding upon the
morphological aspect of the buildings. Sun penetration
through the fenestration of the building is necessary to be
optimally shaded using external shading devices. These
devices are generally integrated to the building in the
form of over hangings or the extension of the building
form itself. This paper aims at an alternate approach to
determine optimum solar shading by overlaying the mean
average hourly temperature on the Sun-path diagram for
a particular station with respect to its locational co-
ordinates. This gives an over view of the yearly over
heated and under heated periods through which one can
decide when to allow or block the sun. An experimental
case show casing various shading strategies for a
habitable room in Jaipur, Rajasthan is validated. The
results are further assessed through ECOTECT

Intelligent Transportation System is the application of
technology for developing a user–friendly transportation
system for urban areas in developing countries.
Transportation plays an important role in the
development of economic of a country. In fact, the
development of a country and the progress of its
transportation system is complementary to each other.
Urban traffic has been growing immensely due to
repercussion of population growth as well as escalation
of vehicle ownership. On the other hand, impacts of an
improper transport system of urban areas are manifested
in terms of congestion, delays, pollution, accidents, high-
energy consumption, low productivity of resources,
community severances, and inadequate access to the
service. The goal of urban corridor management using
ITS in road transport is to achieve improvements in
mobility, safety, and the productivity of the transportation

system within the available facilities through the
integrated application of advanced monitoring,
communications, computer, display, and control process
technologies, both in the vehicle and on the road. The
development and management of urban transport in
developing countries like India however, is at tryout stage
with very few accumulations. Under the umbrella of ITS,
urban corridor management strategy have proven to be
one of the most successful system in accomplishing these
objectives.
This paper attempts to ponder the past studies regarding
several Intelligent Transportation Systems available that
have been successfully deployed in urban corridors of
India and abroad, and to know about the current scenario
and trends in methodology considered in the planning,
design, and operation of Traffic Management Systems.
This paper also presents the endeavor that was made to
interpret and figure out the performance of the 27.4 Km
study corridor and proposed the management strategies
by causality analysis. Performance interpretations
incorporate peak hour identification, traffic volume and
LOS at mid blocks, delay followed by the plotting speed
contours and recommending urban corridor management
strategies keeping in mind that those have to be
efficiently executables, cost effective and familiar to
road users.

Casting is a manufacturing process to make complex
shapes of metal materials in mass production may
experience many defects such as gas porosity, pin holes,
blow holes, shrinkages and incomplete filling may occur
in sand casting. Porosity is one of the defects most
frequently encountered in ductile iron casting. Porosity
cause costly scrap loss and limits the use of cast parts in
critical high strength applications. The amount of
porosity is closely related to sand casting processes
parameter. The considerable reduction in porosity
formation can be obtained using optimization technique
in the sand casting process. The Gating/riser system
design play very important role for improving casting
quality. Many researchers reported that 90% of the
defects in casting are obtained only because of improper
design of gating and feeding system. In this research work
a foundry (Jadho Steel and Alloys Limited, Amravati)
shop has been presented. There was a lot of rejection in
casting of a product (“Wear Plate”) so the foundry shop
had stopped the execution of the order of this product.
The main objectives were, to study the existing design of
Gating and Feeding system, to optimized the Gating and
Feeding system using Auto-CAST X1 casting simulation
software, Prepare the sand mould and cast the part,

Compare the simulated result and experimental results,
and reduced rejection rate from 70% to 40% and

CFD study on mini channel heat sink with nanofluids
as cooling medium
S Joshua Kumar, N.Ravi Kumar*
Department of Mechanical Engineering, MVGR College of
Engineering, Vizianagaram (India)
In today’s industrial scenario, dependence on
electronics, computers is increasing day by day. Cooling
of the electronic circuits and processors is vital for
effective usage. Therefore, different techniques for
cooling of electronics have been developed. The
traditional techniques for the cooling of electronics are by
using of fans and some other cooling medium. The need
for the new design environment and technology is
fulfilled with the use of minichannel heat sink.
Minichannel heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that
cools a device by dissipating heat into the surrounding
medium. Passive heat sinks are commonly found on older
CPUs, parts that do not dissipate much power, such as the
chipset, computers with low-power processors, and
equipment where silent operation is critical and fan noise
unacceptable.In the present work fluid flow and heat
transfer characteristics of mini channel with nanofluids as
cooling medium was analyzed. Nanofluids such as Al2O3-
H2O and TiO2-H2O are used as cooling mediums instead
of pure water. Modeling of mini channel using ICEM
CFD and simulation is done by using CFD- FLUENT.
Copper minichannel heat sink consisting of the channel
height of 8 mm and the channel width of 0.5 mm is
considered for the analysis. It was observed that for
effecting cooling of electronics Al2O3-H2O is the better
cooling medium, on the other side pumping power is
more, whereas TiO2-H2O is moderate cooling medium
but the pumping power is comparatively less.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the
appropriateness of System Dynamics (SD) as a tool for
simultaneously considering TQM and TPM environment
in a offset machine of a commercial printing press. By
controlling the TQM and TPM variables, this model will
attempt to simulate or predict the behavior of an efficient
printing operation. Identifying other scenarios affecting
the socio-technical variables is the future research work
of this paper.

Methodology – In this research SD methodology is used
for developing a model, for ansheetfeed multicolor offset
printing machine.
Findings – It was possible to identify different scenarios
affecting the model and their influence on the required
printing performance like: cost, delivery and quality.
Hence this can help managers in making efficient
decisions regarding printing operation.
Research limitations – The printing operation efficiency
is contributed mainly from three important processes,
known as pre-press, press and post press. But due to the
difficulty in obtaining quantitative data, this research
was restricted to one process and one machine; hence a
well-defined SFD for Total Production Management
model was built, considering a four color single offset
machine, in the printing process. Other scenarios
affecting TQM, TPM variables and rates are yet to be
identified and their influence on printing performance is
to be calculated. Practical implications – the practical
implication concern the efficient decision making system
in multi-color sheet feed offset printing, by controlling
the socio-technical variables.

This paper is based on experimental investigations which
were conducted to assess the subjective response of
seated human subjects exposed to harmonic vibrations in
vertical direction. 12 human male subjects were chosen
and were subjected to three amplitude of excitation (0.5,
1.0 and 1.5 m/s 2 rms) and five different frequencies of 5,
8, 12, 16 and 20 Hz. The effect of cushion at seat and
backrest was studied. Experiments were conducted for
three cases (i) without cushions (ii) with cushion of
density 32 kg/m3 and (iii) with cushion of density 32
kg/m3. The responses from all the subjects in form of
vibrations being felt by them at different body segments,
their severity and significance and comfort level were
recorded in subjective form. The results of the responses
have been presented in the form of a pictorial
representation. It has been concluded that at low
frequency excitations whole body vibrations (WBV) and
upper portion of the body responds with mild to moderate
vibrations and at high frequency excitations the lower
portion of the body which is close to the point of
excitation responds significantly. The response at
excitation frequency closer to natural frequencies of
different body segments clearly indicates the vibratory
effect on those segments. Use of cushion at seat and

backrest increases the human comfort level and with shift
of responding segments in some cases. Variation in
cushion density from 32 to 40 kg/m 3 does not show any
considerable change in human comfort. Cushion with
density of 40 kg/m3 was reported as the most comfortable
among the three cases of experimentation when subjected
to different amplitudes and frequencies under

governing equations are solved making use of finite
volume method. A carefully designed hybrid grid
structure is employed to discretize the computational
domain. A wide range of simulation studies has been
performed in different convection regimes for various
channel materials with different aspect ratios in order to
study the local wall temperature distribution, variation of
peak channel temperature with modified Richardson

of Technology, Tumkur, Karnataka (India)
Metal matrix Composites are new class of materials
which offer superior properties over alloys. MMCs are
very difficult to machine due to the hardness and abrasive
nature of carbide particles. In aluminum matrix
composites, presence of hard particles inside the matrix
which causes tool wear, poor surface finish and high
cutting forces while machining. This paper discusses the
influence of cutting parameters on drilling the Al2219
matrix, mono composite Al2219+8%B4C and hybrid
composite Al2219+8%B4C+3%Gr. The composites are
fabricated using stir casting method. Experiments were
conducted with TiN coated drill bit. The experiment were
6
conducted for various speeds 1000, 1500 and 2000 rpm
and feeds 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3mm/rev. Thrust force and
surface roughness of the drilled hole was investigated
with special attention paid to the effects of graphite
particles hybrid composite. From the experiment it is
concluded that the feed rate had a major influence on
thrust force and surface roughness. Graphitic composites
exhibit lesser thrust force and higher surface roughness
when compared to Al2219 and Al2219+8%B4C
composite. Due to presence of solid lubricant property of
graphite which reduces the lesser thrust force and higher
surface roughness.

JSS Academy of Technical Education, Noida,UP (India)
The increasing demand for ultra low power electronic
systems has motivated research in device technology and
hardware design techniques. Experimental studies have
proved that the hardware innovations for power reduction
are fully exploited only with the proper design of upper
layer software. Also, the software power and energy
modelling and analysis- the first step towards energy
reduction is complex due to the inter and intra
dependencies of processors, operating systems,
application software, programming languages and
compilers. The subject is too vast; the paper aims to give
a consolidated view to researchers in arriving at solutions
to power optimization problems from a software
perspective. The review emphasizes the fact that software
design and implementation is to be viewed from system
energy conservation angle rather than as an isolated
process. After covering a global view of end to end
software based power reduction techniques for micro
sensor nodes to High Performance Computing systems,
specific design aspects related to battery powered
Embedded computing for mobile and portable systems
are addressed in detail. The findings are consolidated into
2 major categories- those related to research directions
and those related to existing industry practices. The
emerging concept of Green Software with specific focus

Main objective of this research study is to find out
tribological behaviour of rolling bearing material EN31
alloy steel under lubricated conditions with various sizes
of MoS2 particles as additive by weight (0.5% and 1%) in
conventional lubricant 20W40. Four sizes of particles
viz., 35µm, 7µm, 3µm and 90nm were used as additives
in the lubricant 20W40 on a tribo-pair consisting of EN31
steel disc and AISI 52100 steel ball. Friction and wear
tests were conducted on universal tribometer equipped
with high resolution piezo load sensor at three different
loads (75N, 100N and 125N) and sliding speed of 0.03
m/s for 10 minutes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
was used to study the surface morphology of the wear
scars. It was observed in this study that as the size of the
particles decreased the friction and wear resistance
increased which was attributed to the rolling of the small
sized particles in the contact zone.

As we know that Increasing the acceleration and
deceleration of trains within a railway network might
improve the performance of the system apart from this it
increases the risk of passengers in terms of losing their
balance and falling therefore the purpose of that paper
examined the effect of longitudinal acceleration and jerk
on the vehicle in order to provide safety and comfort to
the passengers .For that ,a rake of 24 ICF coaches fitted
with CBC (H type tight lock) and low preload draft gear
hauled by WDP4 locomotive was modelled using
Universal Mechanism- a multibody dynamic software.
The vehicle was subjected to external forces such as
rolling resistance, aerodynamics, longitudinal wheel
resistance and gravitational force. The values of tractive
and braking efforts for the two locomotives were taken
into consideration which was provided and obtained
experimentally by RDSO .for that Realistic track
conditions between Lucknow and Kanpur of India were
taken for the study and was found that both the magnitude
of the accelerations and their rate of change (jerk) were
of immense important and results also supported that
their maybe scope to improve the trade-off between
journey times, energy consumption and passenger

comfort by fine control of the acceleration/jerk profile.
That was particularly relevant to urban rail systems, as
they had typical feature of relatively high acceleration

consumption is higher when engine is run with linseed
methyl ester. Maximum combustion pressure and
maximum rate of pressure rise is observed when engine
is run with linseed methyl ester. Engine vibration is
measured along three mutually perpendicular directions
using triaxial accelerometer. It is observed that overall
vibration acceleration is higher along vertical and

topology optimization
Hyoung-Jong Ahn, Kwang-Hee Lee, Chul-Hee Lee
Inha University, 100, Inha-ro, Nam-gu, Incheon (South Korea)
This paper describes the optimized design of a robotic
prosthetic leg with a fully-active knee joint for lower limb
amputees. The proposed robotic leg can actively control
the knee joint, thus, it can mimic the walking mechanism
of a human. However, the robotic leg is relatively heavier
than passive or semi-active ones because it consists of
many components such as actuators, batteries. Since the
weight of leg is significantly related to amputees’ fatigue,
it is necessary to minimize the total weight. Therefore,
this paper focuses on the hardware design with a weight
reduction of the robotic leg. The compact and high-torque
generating system for stair walking is configured by using
a flat motor, a harmonic reducer. The designed structure
is optimized to eliminate the unnecessary weight but
maintains the safety of the structure via topology
optimization. Finite element analysis is carried out to
validate the safety of the optimized structure under
working conditions. Finally, the actual wearing
experiment is conducted to compare the results from FE
Analysis. The simulation and experiment results show
that the weight optimized transfemoral prosthetic leg is
safe under various working conditions.

Aluminum 7075 alloy is a popular candidate material in
aerospace industries due to its excellent strength to
weight ratio among the aluminum alloys. Friction stir
processing (FSP) is a solid state process to refine the
microstructure that results into enhanced mechanical
properties such as hardness and superplasticity. FSP of
7075Al has proven to obtain superplasticity, which
eliminated need of joint in structural applications. The
thermal history during the process greatly affects the
resulting microstructure. By reducing the process
temperature, the grain growth of 7075Al gets inhibited
and hence very fine grain microstructure can be
produced, which is a primary requirement for obtaining
superplasticity. Even though FSP maintains the process
temperature below the melting point, the approach of
hybrid FSP with active cooling offers further reduction in
the generation of process temperature. Hybrid FSP with
active cooling is one of the variant of FSP. In this study,
7075Al was subjected to normal FSP and hybrid FSP
with compressed air cooling under constant process
parameters. Active cooling FSP sample reported
considerable reduction in the temperature in comparison
to normal FSP. No surface defect was observed in the
processed zone for both the samples. The optical
micrograph revealed fine equiaxed grain structure in the
stir zone for both the samples. Hybrid FSP samples
reported smaller grain size in comparison to the normal
FSP due to less heat input during the process.

Applications
Vinita Mathur, Manisha Gupta
JECRC University, Jaipur (India)
Internet of Things is a new type of Internet application
which makes the information be shared on a global scale.
Major requirement for sharing is the transmitting and
receiving of data or information which is done by
antennas. Since large data on multiple frequencies needs
to be shared, multiband antenna is a major requirement.
In multiband antennas design different bands are active
for different frequency ranges and bands. This property
can be fulfilled by adding slots in patch, defected ground
slot and by fractal in antennas. In the proposed paper
fractal design is used because of its advantages like
compact size, wideband, frequency independent, and low
mutual coupling. A coaxial fed antenna formed by a right
angled isosceles triangular with Sierpinski structure is
presented. The antenna covers all the
WLAN/GSM/LTE/WiMAX/UWB bands. It is suitable
for internet of things devices with its multiband
characters. Analysis is also done with defected ground
plane, different iterations, substrate materials and
thickness. This model shows that the multiband behavior
of the Sierpinski fractal antenna is a consequence of its
fractal nature. Parameters like return loss, gain,

A wireless sensor network is a kind of distributed
autonous wireless network with node compatible with
sensor to monitor physical or environmental condition
and pass data to their respective servers for further
analysis. These kind of networks are emerged as an
important application of current scenario including
Internet of Things along with the concept of smart city
apart from its usual application. These networks have
some limitations of its system resources like limited
battery power, communication range, processing power.
Apart from these, WSN are very much vulnerable to
different of attacks including Denial-of-Service attack,
Worm hole attack, hello attack, Sybil attack, Sink hole
attack, Selective forwarding attack, Hello flood packet
attack etc. Out of these all, hello flood attack is a kind of
attack in which any node may flood the network with
hello packets which may lead to a network security
problem as well as it may misuse the network resources
including network bandwidth. In this paper we propose a
methodology based on distributed cooperative approach
by which it tries to detect and eliminate hello flood attack
from the network.

Komal Swami, Ritu Sharma
Department of Electronics and communication Engineering,
MNIT Jaipur (India)
Continued process scaling has come at the price of more
exotic process technologies and complex designs.
However, since CMOS scaling is not the only solution to
achieve performance improvement in a circuit,
alternative methods to enhance performance need to be
explored. In this paper, existing low power sense
amplifier based flip flops (SAFF) are considered.
Identification of critical path and optimum transistor
widths are key challenges to obtain lower data to clock
delay which ultimately results in reduced power-delay
product (PDP). This paper presents a detailed
performance analysis of various reported SAFF designs
in order to identify the one most suitable for low power
and high speed operation. Also included is a
demonstration of significant reduction in power
consumption by reducing the switching activity at major
internal nodes of the proposed circuit. Thereafter, effects
of power supply scaling and temperature variations have
9
been analyzed at different nodes of CMOS technology.
Simulation shows that new flip flop achieves high
performance in terms of all design parameters. Also
shows the effect of diameter variation and chirality vector
has been analyzed on the working of SAFF.

Images are the depiction of the real world scenes
captured. Cameras are the well-known tools for clicking
the scenes as still-images. In previous days, the images
were black-and-white from which we switched onto low-
resolution colored images, then to high-resolution ones.
JPEG was a revolutionary technique for the still-images
compression which was based on Discrete Cosine
Transform (DCT). However, there are several methods
has been proposed based on wavelet transform which still
has to face certain challenges. This paper presents a lossy
compression technique to for image in which we have
utilized the strength of existing wavelet transformation
technique. The proposed method combines the Haar
Transform, sub-band coding, arithmetic coding and
recursive encoding. Haar transform and sub-band coding
is used for the image decomposition and other two are
used to reduce the size of image and time complexity. The
experimental result of this technique shows that the
proposed technique is better than JPEG. The compression
time and compression ratio both get exponentially
improved.

University, Vaddeswaram, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh (India)
In a three winding switched reluctance drive, the input
DC voltage source is universally supplied by a circuit
comprising of a diode bridge rectifier model and a
capacitive filter interfaced to an AC line. The diode
bridge rectifier absorbs distorted current from the AC
line, which evolves the degraded power factor (PF) and
system efficiency is very low. Different solution to
control the power factor is proposed in the literature. A
three phased 6/4 SRM drive system is highlighted in this
paper, which comprise the recognition of a drive circuit
for the minimization of torque ripples and power factor
enhancement with a decisive asymmetric switching
topology.A unique switching topology for SR drive is
confined by a closed loop control procedure. The
proposed scheme is tested for different speed ranges, and
during speed control input side power factor is controlled
over wide range. The validity of the proposed switching
scheme is controlled by PI control design to attain
favorable advantages, dynamically analyzed by

Continuously increasing demand of electricity, limited
availability of fossil fuels, problems associated with
environmental pollution, advancement in power
electronics devices and solar cell manufacturing methods
leads to increased usage of PV (Photovoltaic) systems at
a relatively affordable price. Besides of various
advancements in this field it is still not possible to predict
possible PV generation on real time basis. Irregularity in
PV generators arises due to mismatching phenomenon
and this leads its integration with other types of electricity
generators and Electricity Storage System (ESS). Battery
Storage (BS) is a costly means of energy storage but
despite of that due do its advantages it is being widely
used in integration with PV systems, especially in remote
areas where National grid is still not reached or
accessibility to the grid is highly costly. In such remote
areas, Battery storage is an effective means of energy
storage. PV system integrated with battery storage is
widely used and different types of control architecture
have been reported in literature with their respective
advantages, disadvantages and limitations. Due to
availability of a large number of research papers in this
field, it is difficult for the beginners to start with. To date,
there appears to be an absence of a single critically
reviewed and concluded paper that evaluates the
performance of various types of control architecture
present for PV system integrated with BS. In order to fill
this gap a literature is reviewed and analyzed from
various perspectives. In this paper various types of
control configurations and architectures available in
literature are reviewed and compared along with brief

Seasonal influence such as winter season has
considerable effect on grounding grid performance. The
grounding grid safety issues comprises of safe limited
value of touch voltage, step and GPR values. The non-
uniform grounding grid performance evaluation is
studied on particular grid to observe its beneficence.
Optimal compression ratio is determined for a particular
grid design. The seasonal influence on the grid built in
homogeneous soil is significant, safer limit of touch, step,
GPR is breached due to seasonal influence. The
resistivity of the soil increases abruptly due to frozen soil
layer. The seasonal influence leads to the change in soil
model analysis for a particular grid design. The
investigation of frozen soil layer and its impact is studied
carefully to obtain an exact correlation between depth of
the frozen soil layer and touch voltage. The grid vital
parameter evaluation in case of a homogeneous soil layer
is done considering the effect of frozen soil layer during
winter season. The result concludes the performance
improvement due to non-uniform grid spacing. The
further study brings the clear picture about the impact of
frozen layer on the grounding grid performance in case of

The wind speed prediction is important for wind turbine
installation in a particular location in India. The wind
speed is predicted by conventional and artificial
intelligence (AI) based models. The average temperature,
maximum temperature, minimum temperature, ambient
temperature, dew-point temperature, air pressure, vapor
pressure, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation, altitude,
longitude, wind direction, mean sea level, relative
humidity, time of the day, water vapor, wind power are

input variables to AI models which affects the accuracy
of wind speed predictionso selection of most influencing
relevant input parameters is an important research area.
With this main objective, WEKA software is applied to
real data recorded in lab with the help of instrument to
find the most influencing input parameters for wind speed
prediction. Identified most relevant input variables by
WEKA are used for wind speed prediction using artificial
neural network (ANN). The obtained results validates
that input variables selected by WEKA gives better
results with higher prediction accuracy as compared with
other combination of input variables, providing WEKA
software can be used in wind speed forecasting.
Moreover, wind speed forecasting using proposed

When a transformer works in service, it is subject to
thermal, electrical, chemical, mechanical etc. stresses,
due to these various stresses transformer insulation oil
and paper go under degradation. If the degradation of
such transformer insulation is rapidly, then it may
become cause of power interruption. Some time it may
become a severe failure and leads to failure of power
system. Then a huge loss faced by utility and consumers.
So there is need of transformer monitoring regularly. UV-
VISIBLE spectroscopy is a good condition
assessmenttool to investigate the degradation of
transformer oil. In this paper, thermal ageing of different
transformer insulating papers like crepe, TUK (thermally
upgraded craft), nomex410, nomex910 in oiland copper
has been considered over the temperature 120, 130, 140,

Solar PV powered Hybrid vehicles need a maximum

Apart from the change in atmospheric conditions, these
vehicles face the problem of shading due to the presence
of trees and buildings on the road sides. This paper

VOLUME-2 (ISBN NO. 978-93-5254-230-7)
presents a new maximum power point (MPP) tracking
technique for photovoltaic system (PV) with extremely
fast convergence speed and restricted searching area. The
attractiveness of this scheme is the limit imposed on the
range of voltage, this range of voltage is where the
operating points tries to remain even if the atmospheric
conditions changes at a fast rate. This range of voltage
keeps on updating according to the real time values of
panel temperature and Irradiance. Enhancement in speed
is observed because of this limit imposed on voltage
range and also because of the novel variable duty step size
(Duty of DC-DC converter used) proposed in this article.
The size of this duty step is large for operating points far
away from peak power point (PPP) or Maximum power
point (MPP) and becomes small near PPP. This variation
in duty step size is at a very fast rate. Assessment and
comparison of the proposed MPPT algorithm is done
with Perturb and Observe (P&O) MPPT method in
different irradiance and temperature conditions. A 250
Watt PV system was simulated and analyzed. Finally, the
practical results obtained using the hardware set up made
for 250 Watt PV Panel have been shown, these results
greatly support the simulation study. Arduino
microcontroller development board is used for adjusting
the duty of the DC-DC converter. The results show that
the method has improved speed, efficiency and overall,
the proposed Fast Alterable Duty (FAD) MPP Tracking
technique is substantially better than P&O.

State estimation plays a potential role in monitoring and
control of a power system. Traditionally, this technique is
prevalent in transmission networks only. Distribution
networks, on the other hand were operated manually due
to its simple topology and operation. With the integration
of advanced technologies, existing distribution networks
are being transformed into active networks. This results
in complicated behavior of the networks and involves
unpredictable dynamics. Such new situations demand for
improved monitoring and rapid action controls to provide
secure operation. This justifies the utilization of state
estimation at distribution level. Distribution networks are
unbalanced in nature due to unbalanced loads. This
necessitates full three-phase monitoring of the system
states. Assumptions of balanced system, positive
sequence network model and corresponding state
estimation formulation will be invalid. Positive sequence
Weighted Least Square (WLS) state estimation technique
can be extended to full three-phase state estimation but it
will impose increased processor burden and consume
large computational time. This paper proposes a suitable
alternative to overcome this issue. The proposed state
estimation method is implemented on IEEE-13 and
IEEE-123 Node Test Feeders with and without
synchronized phasor measurements. Results obtained
illustrate that the proposed method is effective over the
consumed and computational requirement.

power flow. Thus, combining the above mentioned
technical and financial objectives (Strategies 1 and 2), a
multi-objective problem is formulated and solved using
Non-Dominated Sorting Particle Swarm Optimization
(NSPSO). In effect, Strategy-1 is forced for the sake of
microgrid operator and Strategy-2 for the sake of EV

a secure and economic operation for the microgrid,
trading-off the benefits of operator and EV aggregator.
The proposed approach is investigated in CIGRE LV

In this paper a novel hybrid PD(Proportional-
Derivative)–ANFIS(Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference
system) based controller has been proposed for trajectory
stabilization of a quad-rotor UAV which has always been
a challenging task due to the mathematical complexity of
quad-rotor model and its inherent unpredictable
environmental conditions. In this study, a comprehensive
model of quad-rotor is developed from its dynamic
equation considering the system non-linearity and
uncertainties of operating conditions. In order to track
desired response and stabilize different dynamics of
quad-rotor vehicle, this model is then integrated with both
PID Controller configuration and proposed hybrid PD-
ANFIS scheme using MATLAB simulation. The
simulated design mainly consists of two subsystems:
quad-rotor dynamics (both linear and angular) subsystem
and controller subsystem. In proposed PD-ANFIS
scheme, PD controller is introduced for stabilizing yaw
(ψ) and altitude(z) dynamics, where PD controller
parameters are tuned with Zeigler Nicholas technique
while For the control of other two most sensitive
orientation angle that is pitch (θ) and roll dynamics(∅),
the simplified pitch and roll dynamics is integrated with
ANFIS scheme based controller where Fuzzy inference
file has been generated based on the error and its
derivative as input variables, each consisting of seven
membership function with a total of forty nine possible
combination of rules. Finally, the developed system is
successfully tested for number of simulation runs and
Comparative analysis of different output dynamic
characteristics with PID controller configuration and PD-
ANFIS hybrid scheme is made. The proposed hybrid
scheme is observed to be very fast and stable with
minimal or no overshoot, less settling time, no steady
state error and this has validated the robustness of the
proposed scheme.

Design for Analysis of Blood Cancer in White Blood
Cell using MEMS Capacitive Sensor: A Simulation
Study
Sriparna Sahu*, Debjyoti Chowdhury, Madhurima
Chattopadhyay
Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata (India)
In this paper, an array of MEMS capacitive sensors has
been designed for detection purpose of malignancy in
White Blood Cells (WBC). The identification of
cancerous cell is based on its difference from normal cell
with regards to dielectric permittivity. To facilitate the
design of such a sensing system, we have considered an
average of 100 cells at a time. In this particular work, an
electrostatic based capacitive micro sensor is designed
with a pair of circular shaped identical electrodes. First
the proposed design for a single sensor was developed
which was finally extended for an array of such sensors
in same plain. There are different techniques available
for the identification of malignant cells and here
electroporation is followed because of its dependency on
polarization of cell membrane at frequency range 20 kHz
– 10 MHz. In order to do so, a double shell electrical
model of WBC is designed and a membrane potential of
about 0.5-1V is generated when the cell is exited with a
potential of 1V as the polarization occurs. Once the
polarization potential is achieved for a single cell, the
same excitation potential of 1V is applied between the
electrodes of circular capacitive sensors. The induced
polarization results in change of permittivity of the
proposed capacitive sensor which finally reflects a
distinguishable change in the output and hence it can
discriminate a normal cell from affected one in terms of
change in capacitive value. The whole work is executed
in COMSOL which is a Multiphysics based software.

application of Fuzzy based controller in the estimation of
instantaneous magnitude of rotor speed, current and
torque and compared with the PI based controller. The
performance of proposed fuzzy logic based controller is
found to be excellent in comparison to PI based
controller. The Fuzzy based controller shows a faster and
better performance at no load and different load

Hiranmay Samanta1, Joydip Jana2,*, Dipak Saha3,
Hiranmay Saha4
CEGESS,IIEST Shibpur, West Bengal (India)
The maximum power point (MPP) of a PV system varies
continuously in accordance with changing weather
conditions. In the conventional approach, the dc-dc
converter used for implementing maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) cannot operate for a wide range of
irradiance profile. To cope up this problem, there is a
necessity of MPPT hardware in which MPP of the PV
system tracked efficiently for a wide range of irradiance
weather profile. This paper presents an efficient MPP
approach of a PV system for which irradiance varies
continuously in accordance with widely and rapidly
changing weather conditions. The proposed method was
developed and tested successfully on a photovoltaic
system based on synchronous buck-boost converter and
control circuit using dsPIC30F2010 which is capable to
track the MPP for entire range of irradiance. This
converter performs three stages of operation namely
Buck mode, boost mode and buck-boost mode and with
the help of this converter the lead acid battery is charged
in an efficient way. The converter operates either in the
buck mode or boost mode depending upon the PV voltage
with respect to the battery voltage and if the voltage at
MPP is near to the battery voltage then this converter
operates in fluctuating Buck-boost mode. As the MPPT
is done for entire range of irradiance thus this method is
well suitable for efficient operation of standalone
photovoltaic system. The obtained results demonstrate
the efficiency of the proposed MPPT approach in terms
of speed in MPP tracking and accuracy and in terms of
range of irradiance.

Increase in global warming has gyrated everyone’s
attention to renewable energy. Due to its intermittent
nature, usage of storage devices has become prominent
for its integration in to the grid. Among the storage
devices, batteries have a very fast response, reacting
instantaneously to the load fluctuations. Management of
the batteries improves the overall efficiency of the
Battery Energy Storage System, while ensuring a much
more robust operation of the storage system. The
architecture of multi-mode Lithium-ion battery energy
storage system based on on-grid and off-grid mode and
the strategy of charging and discharging using smart
switch control is presented in this topic. The control for
the inclusion of the battery into the system is done by
measuring the charge content in the battery storage
system. Integration of this system into the grid is
controlled using an optimized real and reactive power

material plays a vital role. In this paper, the performance
of the claw-pole alternator for two different materials has
been compared with the help of finite element analysis.

(India)
Surface modification of gate insulating layer to improve
insulator-semiconductor interface for betterment of
device performance, is one of the frontier areas of
research in the field of organic thin film transistor.
Growth of self assembled monolayer (SAM) on oxide
based insulator which is the existing method to improve
insulator-semiconductor interface, is time consuming as
well as involves complicated process steps such as
requirement of vacuum, handling highly air sensitive
chemicals. Our current work focuses on the use of air
stable polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as a surface
modifying layer on silicon dioxide based gate insulator
for polymer thin film transistor. This modification
method facilitates the adhesion ability and growth of
solution processed polymer film on gate insulating layer
resulting in improvement of insulator-semiconductor
interface. In addition, easy method to spin coat PMMA
solution on gate oxide overcomes all the complicated
process steps of SAM layer deposition. For device
fabrication, highly doped silicon wafer was used as
substrate as well as bottom contact. Thermally grown
silicon dioxide, spin coated PMMA, spin coated
diketopyrrolopyrrole based copolymer and thermally
evaporated gold were used as gate insulator, surface
modifying layer, semiconducting channel layer and top
source/drain contacts respectively. In the whole
experiment, PMMA solution concentration and layer
thickness was optimized and a comparative study of
performance was made for the transistors with PMMA
modified, wet etched, plasma treated and SAM modified
gate oxide layer. Finally copolymer transistor with
PMMA modified silicon dioxide insulator showed the
best performance with saturation field effect mobility of
0.03 cm2V-1S-1 and ON/OFF ratio of 105. Overall, spin
coated PMMA was found to be a good alternative to
modify gate oxide layer in order to improve insulator-

A large gap in demand and supply of electric power in
current scenario and limited availability of conventional
fuels required for the power production motivates the
utility providers, policy makers and several researchers to
harness the natural resources of power generation. These
types of power generating plants are generally known as
Distributed Generation (DG). Inclusion of DG in the
existing power system may enhance its power transfer
capacity, voltage profile, reliability and it can also reduce
the overall system losses. For effectively utilizing a DG
its appropriate capacity should be installed at appropriate
place. The installation of DG requires high installation
cost. Due to this reason each utility provider will be
interested in the calculation of the payback period for the
installed capacity. This paper first suggests the optimum
capacity and place of DG in IEEE-33 bus radial
distribution network (RDN) using meta-heuristic
approach and then economic analysis of the installed
capacity is done from the utility view point. Results show
the payback period for the installed capacity under the
peak load conditions.

Versatile Current Controller Employed in Three-
level Active Front-End Converter Based Power
Supply for Unity Power Factor and Low Harmonic
Distortion in Grid
M. T. Shah*, P. N. Tekwani
Department of Electrical Engineering, Institute of Technology,
Nirma University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat (India)
Three-phase ac-dc converters form an essential part of
many industrial systems such as uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS), battery chargers, and motor drives, etc.
Conventional multi-pulse diode or thyristor based ac-dc
converters improve the harmonic spectrum of input
current but require phase shifting transformer which
makes system bulky and costly with unidirectional power
flow capability. IGBT based two-level converters with
different current controllers are investigated by
researchers in literature. However, for high power
industrial applications, two-level converters require
higher switch rating, which put limitations on switching
frequency and cost of the overall system. This paper
presents analysis of IGBT based three-level front-end bi-
directional boost-converter with current error space
phasor based hysteresis controller. The proposed
controller is an effort towards overcoming the limitations
of conventional hysteresis current controller employed
for conventional front-end (two-level) converters; like,
limit cycle oscillations, overshoot in current error,
generation of sub-harmonics in the input current, and
random switching of voltage vectors. When converter is
operating at unity power factor, the charging time and
discharging time for each capacitor is different, which
lead to unbalanced capacitor voltages in Neutral Point
Clamped and Flying Capacitor multi-level converters. In
proposed work, current error space phasor based
hysteresis controller is applied to three-level flying
capacitor converter with capacitor voltage balancing
scheme. Analysis of operation range of three-level
converter, including overmodulation region, is analysed
and presented in this paper. The controller is self-adaptive
in nature and takes converter from three-level to two-
level mode of operation following various trajectories
with the change in reference dc-link voltage demanded by
load keeping current error space phasor within the
prescribed hexagonal boundary. The proposed controller
ensures switching of only adjacent voltage vectors for
position of reference voltage vector in a given sector of
voltage space phasor structure of front-end converter.
Results for unity power factor and low total harmonic
distortion in line current under various dynamic
conditions with bi-directional power flow capability are
reported in presented work.

package

Subhas Institute of Technology (India)
The Electromyography (EMG) is an electro diagnostic
procedure for evaluating the electrical activity of skeletal
muscles. It is very difficult to deduce the structure and
activation of surrounding muscle tissue from needle–
detected EMG signals and thus the extraction of
information regarding presence, absence or severity of
disease is not possible. The muscle morphology,
activation and similarity with measured
electromyographic signal features can be explored by
comparison with simulated EMG signal. Evaluation of
the data using such reference model will provide better
understanding of the properties of muscles and their
relationship to EMG signals. As the difficulty lies in the
non-availability of standard EMG signal, the present
work thus focuses on MATLAB implementation of
needle detected EMG model introduced by Hamilton-
Wright & Stashuk in 2005. The first step of analysis
involves the conversion of raw EMG signal from .dat
format to .txt/.mat format which is achieved by using
WFDB (Waveform Database) Software Package. In this
research work standard simulated signals available in
S002 dataset are extracted and the proposed procedure is
presented in a detailed manner.

EIED, Thapar University, Patiala (India)
Electric Motors are used almost everywhere in industrial
environments and are becoming increasingly complex
and technical, sometimes making it a challenge to avoid
failures and keep them running at their peak performance.
Their performance is affected by the presence of various
faults but amongst all of them, bearing related faults are
the most common causes of motor failures. In this paper
the motor fault detection by means of vibration analysis
is done using time and frequency domain study of
vibration signals obtained using an accelerometer. Single
point faults of varying diameters were introduced at the
inner raceway, outer raceway and the rolling element in
order to test the vibrations produced by the motor under
these faulty conditions. The vibration signals were
acquired at different loads applied to the motor. The
motor’s operating condition was monitored using various
features extracted in both time and frequency domain in
order to differentiate a motor’s normal running condition
from the one when a bearing fault is present. The results
depict that the time and frequency domain features

FACTS device control strategy using PMU
Mohd Tauseef Khan*, Anwar Shahzad Siddiqui
Department of Electrical Engineering, Jamia Millia Islamia,
New Delhi (India)
Energy demand is continuously rising with the
improvement of standard of living of the inhabitants
around the globe. The generation is pacing to match this
increased demand by innovation in energy generations in
the form of non-conventional energy sources like solar,
wind, biomass and in some places geothermal and tidal.
But, the transmission of this power from generating
stations to prospective load center is the main problem
being faced today, as the laying and commissioning of
new transmission line is very difficult due to socio-
economic problems, like environmental clearances, right
of way, etc. To solve this problem, use of flexible ac
transmission systems (FACTS) devices were suggested
and being installed at various locations. FACTS devices
are capable of reactive power compensation, voltage
improvement, stability improvement, and increasing the
power transmission capability of existing transmission
line. These FACTS devices are primarily operated by
some operator on sensing and realizing the demand from
the traditional SCADA system. This paper proposes
automatic control of these FACTS devices in
collaboration of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and
Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC). Presently, PMU is
performing only the function of Data acquisition, but it
can provide control commands to the FACTS device
installed near to it. Thus, this combination can provide
real time control for reactive power compensation,
increment of power handling capability and stability
improvement.
This strategy of controlling FACTS directly by the output
from PMU reduces the time required for taking action in
case of any abnormality, viz, reactive power requirement,
voltage dip, or voltage swell, stability improvement, etc.
This strategy is being successfully tested in MATLAB
environment.
The paper coins a strategy for fast operation of connected
FACTS devices for solving a large set of problems,
ranging from Voltage stability, reactive power
compensation and improvement of overall stability of the
connected power system.

The Philippines, as one of the developing nations in
south-east Asia, has anisolated power system networks
that is bringing forth the challenges in its operational
systems, especially when subjected to a deregulated
environment. The stability of the system will be one of
which that has significant effects when all isolated power

development of the country’s power grid. This paper
presents an analysis on the power flow and small signal
stability of the interconnected three isolated Philippine

As depletion of conventional energy sources poses
serious threat to the supply and demand balance of
electrical energy, more utilisation renewable energy
sources are being promoted. Microgrid is a very effective
method for better utilization of renewable energy sources,
where small local sources and local loads together forms
a miniature grid, either connected to the main grid or
isolated. In isolated micro grids, the source and load
balance is very important to ensure efficient transmission
an utilisation of energy. When there is large variation in
load and load characteristics, it affects the performance
of the renewable energy systems and the operation of
microgrid as a whole. An experimental analysis to
substantiate the effect of load variation on Solar PV
inverters is explained. Here a load emulation technique is
proposed, where a virtual load, which is regenerative in
nature can be connected in the microgrid system to
modify the loading. The proposed system modifies the
system load in terms of power factor and effective load in
the system, and stores the excess energy in to battery. The
load emulator current is controlled separately for leading
and lagging components using a novel algorithm, and the
in-phase component is regenerated and stored in to
battery. This improves the utilization of renewable
energy sources and transmission efficiency, and at the
same time gives improved energy storage under surplus
source condition. The simulation of the proposed system
with the performance graphs of load emulator and micro
grid are also presented. The technique proves to be very
effective in emulating different load characteristics and
the load-source balance in micro grid can be improved
using this.

The interest in renewable energy systems is growing
highly day by day. Hybridization of one or more energy
sources in a single Power Condition Unit (PCU), for
uninterrupted supply is a major challenge to researchers.
Here a converter configuration with two ports (solar PV
and Battery) as inputs and one AC port for output is
presented. Due to intermittent nature of solar power,
battery backup is necessary. This integrated double input
dc-dc boost converter can be used for charging the battery
whenever load is less and excess PV power is available.
The converter gives a common DC bus for
interconnecting input ports. MPPT algorithm is also
implemented in this model with single stage operation for
tracking of maximum power. Closed loop operation of
the proposed model with PID controller is explained in
detail. The operation is validated using different types of
AC loads at the output. This PCU provides high gain and
also reduced voltage ripples in the output. A detailed
description of the PCU is presented along with a simple
mathematical modelling and experimental results. The
controller is found to operate at high efficiency in current
control mode. Finally, hardware implementation of 100

to verify the effectiveness of the PCU. The performance
is evaluated based on IEEE 1547, EN50530, IEC 61683,

The rural areas of many developing and emerging
countries are unlikely ever to see the arrival of classical
synchronized AC transmission lines. The off-grid power
generation is very beneficial in aspects of sustainable,
simplicity of operation, commissioning and mainly
techno-economic point of view as compared to grid-
connected system. This method consists of different
technologies like solar photovoltaic, wind, biomass,
biogas, micro hydro and hybrid. In the recent years,
hybrid technology in which most commonly
PV/Wind/Battery and PV/Diesel/Battery are employed
and developed as the faster technology meeting the load
demand for the remote areas with superior combinations.
There are abundant literatures in which various
approaches are discussed that have been used to support
decision making under on-grid & off-grid conditions and
comparison with grid-extension. In this paper, the
different experimental investigations by many
researchers are reviewed which involved study area
characterization, resource assessment, load and demand
of domestic, agricultural, community and rural industries,
expected different combinations of energy sources and
optimization analysis. The optimization is carried out by
minimizing the per unit electricity cost, improving the
capacity utilization factor & recovery factor, green house
gas emissions and also comparing the results obtained
from these parameters with the help of hybrid
optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER)
software. The different reference data of solar radiation,
wind speed and load profile is taken from the NASA for
optimization analysis of different functions. Power
generation using different renewable technologies, their
scope and optimal techno-economical analysis of
modular energy system based on the decision and
sensitivity variables is reviewed; also the data have been
collected from various case studies of remote areas on
worldwide. The different parameters of various
technologies which are used for simulation in HOMER
are also studied and the results are in favor of hybrid
technology as compared to single resource technology.

Voltage stability has become a very important issue in
power systems for the purpose of analysis. In this paper
some important aspects related to voltage stability use in
electric power system are discussed. Line index is used
for estimation of the maximum loadability and in other
words index is used to identify the weak bus in the
system. In this paper artificial neural network (ANN) is
used for assessment of voltage stability or for determine
secure/insecure state of the power system. The input data
of ANN are derived from the Newton-Raphson (NR) load
flow analysis in the platform of MATLAB. The result
obtained from the ANN method is also compared with the
result from NR load flow analysis in terms of accuracy to
predict the status of the power system. The effectiveness
of the analyzed methods are demonstrated through
numerical studies in IEEE 14 bus test system and IEEE
30 bus test system, using Fast voltage stability index
(FVSI).

Precision agriculture always deals with the accuracy and
timely information about agriculture products. With help
of computer hardware and software technology design a
decision support system that could generate flower yield
information and serve as base for management &
planning of flower marketing. But there are some
problem arises like a color homogeneity by which cannot
be find actual color of image and overlapping of image.
In this paper implement new ‘counting algorithm’ for
overlapped flower. For implementing this algorithm use
some techniques and operations like color image
segmentation technique, Image segmentation, Using
HSV color space and Morphological Operations. A color
space model is designed to create, specify and visualize
color properties of an image. A color is generally
specified using three coordinates, or parameters. These
parameters describe the position of the color according to
color space bar. In this paper used two most popular color
space are RGB and HSV. HSV color space decouples
brightness from chromatic component in the image by
which it provides better result in case for occlusion and
overlapping.

Many large organizations are processing variety of data
obtained from various sources. It seems very challenging
task to discover knowledge from such kind of data
sources. In order to obtain knowledge the outlier
detection has paid more attention in past decade. In this
paper, we suggested as well as modified some soft
computing techniques that can be used to detect outliers
in order to mine knowledge, because outlier discovery is
also perceived as a knowledge discovery technique. This
work has been partitioned into four parts viz. Detection
of outlier using K-Means clustering, Hierarchical
clustering, EM clustering, Multilayer Perceptron
classifier, Radial Basis Function Networks, Naïve Bayes
classifier, and J48 Decision Tree; Identifying outlier
from market-basket data by calculating the significance
of weights in frequent patterns using Modified
FP_Growth algorithm; Outlier detection and
visualization using Modified RBF Networks; and
Performance evaluation of decision tree based
approaches viz. J48 and Random Forest towards outlier
mining. In the first part Hierarchical clustering has
outperformed rest of the techniques in terms of number
of outlier detection, whereas in second part the strong
influence of weights in frequent patterns has been found
using Modified FP_Growth algorithm; in third part
Modified RBF has detected more outliers than traditional
RBF; and in fourth part Random Forest has classified
instances more correctly than J48. All these experiments
were performed on various real world datasets. We hope
that this study will act as a helpful preliminary step
towards knowledge discovery.

When there is a delay in development or some deficiency
in cognitive functions, it is considered as mental
retardation. According to Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual (DSM-IV); mental retardation can broadly
classify into four major classes as mild retardation,
moderate retardation, severe retardation and profound
retardation. The mild mental retardation candidates have
the potential to learn and improve themselves. In this
research work an attempt has been made to develop a
fuzzy-logic based assessment and prediction tool for mild

There has been a tremendous development in the field of
internet and wireless technology and the advent of
internet capable devices have increased the network
usage. Large number of users on the network has
increased the risks of security hazards to the sensitive
data stored and transmitted. Cryptographic techniques are
employed for minimizing these risks. Cryptography is a
branch of cryptology which provides information
security. To make the systems more robust, the ciphers or
crypts being used need to be analyzed for which
cryptanalysts need ways to automate the process, so that
cryptographic systems can be tested more efficiently.
Evolutionary algorithms provide one such resort as they
are capable of searching global optimal solution very
quickly. Cuckoo Search(CS) Algorithm[1] has been used
effectively in cryptanalysis of Vigenere[2] and
Transposition ciphers[3]. Linear Feedback Shift Register
(LFSR) is a crypto primitive used extensively in design
of cryptosystems. In this paper, we are analyzing LFSR
based cryptosystem using Cuckoo Search to find correct
initial states of used LFSR. The primitive polynomials of
degree 11, 13, 17 and 19 are considered to analyze text
crypts of length 200, 300 and 400 characters. The optimal
solutions were obtained for CS parameters: Levy
distribution parameter (β) =1.5 and Alien eggs

scheduling and propose a particle swarm optimization
(PSO) algorithm which is based on score of a virtual
machine. By virtue of comparing score based particle
swarm optimization (SB-PSO) algorithm with the GA
and IPSO algorithm embedded in crossover and
mutation, the experiment results show that the proposed
algorithm not only converges accurate but also runs much
faster than other algorithms in a large scale. Analysis and
experiment results show that SB-PSO algorithm is more
suitable to cloud computing for task scheduling related

In this Paper we investigate the outcome of the deep
convolution neural network intensity on its accuracy in
the historical image detection and extraction. Feature
extraction from the cultural and historical sculpture
image is a challenging task in the pattern recognition
system. To improve the high performance and fast
improvement, we proposed a method, Agile deep
convolution neural network with FPGA (Field-
Programmable Gate Array) used for automatic detection
and extraction of features like contours, structure, texture
background and spectral information in the image. These
classifications have been done based on the pre-
segmentation of the image processing. Therefore, the
existing approaches cannot produce better performance
due to underutilization of either logic resource or memory
bandwidth. To overcome this problem, we suggest a
logical design using the roofline model. with the help of
roofline model we find a solution with best performance
also we compare with different data sets of LeNet,
VGGConvNet2015, CIFAR-10 and our own dataset of

Biometric systems are widely used for authentication.
Biometric systems are used for identification or
verification using physiological traits such as fingerprint,
face, iris, palm and behavioral traits such as voice, gait
21
and signature. They are used in forensic and commercial
applications. But biometric systems are vulnerable to
certain type of attacks. Several attacks can be performed
in the modules of biometric system. The type 1 attack or
direct attack is done at the sensor level using fake input.
Spoofing refers to the fraudulent action by an
unauthorized person into biometric
systems using fake input that reproduces one of the
authorized person’s biometric input. Fingerprint is the
most widely used biometric because of its uniqueness and
permanence. Fingerprint is a pattern of ridges and valleys
on fingertip. The fake fingerprint can be made from
gelatin, clay, play-doh, silicone, latex and rubber with
user’s cooperation or without cooperation. Liveness
detection provides extra level of authentication to
biometrics. It is used to prevent forgeries. Differentiating
genuine fingerprint input from fake fingerprint input is
known as liveness detection. The fingerprint liveness
detection is performed by measuring the multiple features
of fingerprint. These are quality related features. The
features are Spatial Coherence, Gabor features, Ridge
frequency, Inhomogeneity, Directional contrast,
Structural tensor and Direction map. The SVM classifier
is used for classification. The LivDET and ATVS
database are used for conducting experiments. The
performance measures are False Acceptance Rate and
False Rejection Rate. This technique is software based as
it requires no external hardware. This approach is
inexpensive.

In recent years, neural networks have been widely used
for classification, function approximation and regression
problems, yielding high results in the same. With the
various available approaches, Back-Propagation has
often been deemed as one of the most successful
technique to train a neural network. Interval neutrosophic
sets have been developed as a powerful formal
framework for generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy sets,
to represent uncertain, imprecise information for various
domains existing in the real world, in the form of ranges
rather than the traditional fuzzy values of truth & false
memberships, and indeterminacy of a neutrosophic set. It
has achieved great success in various areas like Medical
Diagnosis, Image Processing, and Decision Making
problems. The paper presents an integration of neural
networks with interval neutrosophic sets, to solve a
multiclass classification problem of recognizing
handwritten digits.
Two separate neural networks were used to train for truth
and false membership values of the interval neutrosophic
set. Back-Propagation algorithm has been used to train
the network. The first network is trained in the positive

direction, yielding the truth membership values of the
training samples. The second neural network is trained in
the negative direction, with reverse classes, to yield the
false membership value of the training samples. The
interval neutrosophic set thus obtained was then used to
classify test samples based on their output from the neural
networks. The technique was tested for the MNIST Digit
Database, with 200 Training samples and 1000 Test
samples for each digit. The results achieved through the
ensemble technique were compared with results obtained
with back-propagation neural networks, and with
similarity measure using generalized neutrosophic soft
sets, and were found to surpass the results of both the
techniques considered individually.

Multiprocessor interconnection network have become
powerful parallel computing system for real- time
applications. Nowadays the many researchers posses
studies on the dynamic load balancing in multiprocessor
system. Load balancing is the method of dividing the total
load among the processors of the distributed system to
progress task’s response time as well as resource
utilization while ignoring a condition where few
processors are overloaded or underloaded or moderately
loaded. However, in dynamic load balancing algorithm
presumes no priori information about behaviour of tasks
or the global state of the system. There are numerous
issues while designing an efficient dynamic load
balancing algorithm that involves utilization of system,
amount of information transferred among processors,
selection of tasks for transfer, load evaluation,
comparison of load levels and many more. This paper
enlightens the performance analysis on dynamic load

India has recently showed its commitment to the
development and construction of 100 Smart Cities to
meet the requirements of its rapidly growing and
urbanizing population. Smart Cities entail the integration
of information technology, telecommunications, urban
planning, smart infrastructure and operations in an
environment intended to maximize the quality of life for
a city’s population. This coordinated approach from the
22
inception of a metropolitan area is key to sustainable
growth and development which India requires for
development.
The issues of overcrowding, pollution, budget
limitations, aging infrastructure, unemployment, resource
constraints and the need for continuing growth can be
solved by employing scalable solutions that take
advantage of information and communications
technology (ICT) to increase efficiencies, reduce costs,
and enhance quality of life. Cities that use this approach
are commonly referred to as “Smart Cities”, a concept
highly discussed in urban planning and city policy circles
worldwide.Smart Cities enable local administrators to
take more effective decisions, proactively resolve any
anticipated issues, and effectively utilize public
resources. This would entail utilizing energy and water
more effectively, preventing crime and natural disasters,
implementing intelligent traffic management, and
improving access to public services such as healthcare,
infrastructure and education to citizens.Smart grids or
intelligent utility networks, smart lighting, smart
transportation, smart security, smart healthcare, smart
water usage, smart employment strategies needs to be
focused on.
A significant amount of land-usage, environment,
socio-economic, energy and transport data is generated in
urban cities. An integrated approach of managing and
analyzing such big data is an important key to science,
policy, planning, governance and business questions and
support decision making in enabling a smarter
environment. Different machine learning and data mining
techniques can be applied to big data which is generated
so that important rules or patterns can be inferred. This
paper presents a theoretical and experimental perspective
on the big data management and analysis of smart cities
by proposing a cloud-based big data analytics service. A
prototype has been designed and developed to evaluate
the effectiveness of the analytics service for big data
analysis. Hadoop is used for prototype implementation
and the results are compared. The service can analyzethe
data by identifying correlations between selected
important urban parameters. Experiments are performed
using Hadoop and results are compared. This idea can
serve as a strong platform for successfully implementing
PM Modi’s idea of “Smart City” and transforming our
country into “Smart India”.

The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) can provide
effective solution to the healthcare problems and remote
monitoring of the patients. The WBAN is an integration
of low power, tiny wireless sensor nodes which are placed
inside or outside of a body to measure the vital signs of
patients such as heart rates, blood pressure, sugar level

VOLUME-2 (ISBN NO. 978-93-5254-230-7)
etc and forward this information to isolated situated
professionals. The information collected from WBAN is
much more accurate than the hospital for a short period
because WBAN is attached to the body for a long time in
the patient’s natural environments. The WBAN can also
be used in non-medical applications such as
environmental conditions, industrial environment,
motion detection of the animals in the forest, security etc.
The power consumption is one of the focused areas of the
WBAN in both medical and non-medical application.
Another important aspect of medical application is the
delivering of the emergency data such that heart rate,
electrocardiogram (ECG) etc at a healthcare centre. If the
emergency data cannot be delivered within the deadline,
it directly hampers the patient’s condition. Therefore the
emergency WBAN has to transfer the data according to
its priority basis rather than first come first serve.
In this paper, we present our proposed framework for
WBAN topology design model. First, we introduce the
problem definition of network topology model. Then, we
present the radio, energy and path loss model to compute
the energy consumption for guarantying the data delivery
at the sink node. Finally, we present the integer linear
programming model to design an energy efficient cost
sensitive improved throughput WBAN. Considering the
hardness of the problem, we present the particle swarm
optimization approach to design the optimal routing
model for reliable on-time delivery of the data at the Sink
node.

Technology, Burla, Sambalpur,Orissa (India)
The recent development of Wireless Body Area Network
(WBAN) and communication system enhances the
performances of the overall e-Health solution. The small
wireless sensor devices are placed either inside or on the
human body to monitor the health condition of a patient
remotely. The wireless networks are subject to more
packet loss and congestion. The packet loss during
congestion in the healthcare application may cause death
alarm for a patient in critical condition. The efficient data
aggregation and queuing mechanism minimizes the
chance of congestion for the e-Health care system. Thus,
the proposed protocol adopts the data aggregation
technique to reduce the network traffic. The buffer of
each node is partitioned to support fair and efficient data
delivery. The buffer of the sensor node is shared among
the different types of traffic to support effective data
reporting. A dynamic scheduling technique is adopted by
the proposed protocol to achieve fairness during data
reporting. The proposed protocol tries to avoid
congestion by predicting it beforehand. If congestion
occurs, then selective forward and additive drop
technique is adopted by the proposed protocol to mitigate
23
congestion. The reliability of the proposed protocol is
achieved through hop-by-hop loss recovery and
acknowledgment scheme. The performance of the
proposed protocol is evaluated through extensive
simulations. The simulation results reveal that it
outperforms the existing congestion control protocols for
healthcare application in terms of energy efficiency,
reliability and end-to-end delivery ratio.

A Human face exhibits a variety of information such as
age, gender and identity. Age estimation using face
images plays a vital role in multimedia communication,
surveillance monitoring, human computer interaction and
forensic applications. Thus, researchers have found vast
potential to explore in the field of pattern recognition and
computer vision in recent years. The objective of the
paper is to extract facial features and process the data for
the purpose of age classification. Further the result are
analysed and compared to find the accuracy of the
proposed system. The approach for age estimation using
facial features is based on Geometric Facial Measurement
Model (GFMM). In this model, Euclidean distance
parameter is computed at different facial points for
subjects having different ages in the FGNET database.
While performing experiments, training set of 97 frontal
images were used to train the network. The system’s
performance is evaluated based on a comparative analysis

It is proved well beyond doubt that there is an epidemic

functions is almost established in the case of autism.
Often irritability, aggressive behavior, mood changes,
discomfort, and nightmare awakenings found in autistic
population are misinterpreted as neurological or
behavioral problems where in veracity it could be due to
the related Gastrointestinal symptoms. We are here to
make a study if certain pathogenic bacteria could

exacerbate the symptoms associated with Gastrointestinal
problems. Along with causing damage to gut tissue,
abnormal bacteria are thought to affect the brain. A gut-
brain connection has been hypothesized in autism. Shiga
toxin –producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection can
lead to neurological disorders in addition to bloody
diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Microbial
DNA isolated from stool samples were used for
amplification of Shiga toxigenic E.coli using specific
Stx1 primers. Out of 23 autistic subjects, 20 (87%)
showed the presence of this gene where as only in 11 out
of 19 normal subjects (58%), this gene was detected. In
order to elucidate its potential role in causing
neurological disorders, we carried out an in silico study
on the effects of shiga toxin on selected
neurotransmitters. All the three neurotransmitters
(Serotonin, Dopamine and Acetylcholine) showed high
affinity glide score and good Glide Energy and showed
high affinity towards stx1 protein sequence. The
inordinate presence of the stx 1gene proved through PCR
and its effect elucidated through in silico study suggests
that Shiga toxigenic E.coli can play a crucial role in the
exacerbation of autism and related symptoms.

The development of eco-friendly and green methods for
the synthesis of silver nanoparticles has received utmost
attention due to their unique physicochemical properties
and biomedical applications and has opened new avenues
for Nanobiotechnological research. Jatropha integerrima
commonly known as 'Peregerina' belongs to
Euphorbiaceae. It is an evergreen shrub blooming in
gardens of India. Jatropha sps. have therapeutic uses in
treatment of boils, eczema and itches. Yet there are few
reports on antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles of
J. integerrima. Therefore, an attempt was made for
phytofabrication of Silver nanoparticles using a simple
green route from Jatropha integerrima. Silver
nanoparticles were characterized with the help of UV–vis
absorption spectroscopy, TEM and X-ray diffraction. The
silver and AgNPs have been used as an effective biocide
against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
Silver Nanoparticles of Jatropha exhibited potent
bactericidal activity against nosocomial infections
causing Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus
aureus. Preliminary phytochemical studies revealed the
presence of glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids and sterols
in the tested extracts. Multi drug resistance by
nosocomial infections causing bacterial pathogens is of
24
global concern, therefore these plant derived silver
nanoparticles can have a wide scope in the formulation of
target based drug delivery system against nosocomial
infectious agents.

Simulation of industrial process during adsorption of a
toxic textile dye over two low cost adsorbents has been
performed through column mode studies.
Characterization of the adsorbent has been carried out by
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectroscope (FTIR) displayed
rough surface of the adsorbents and evidenced the
involvement of hydroxyl functional groups during the
adsorption process. Argemone Mexicana (AM) and
Xanthium Strumarium (XH), two abundantly available
weeds have been fruitfully employed for removal and
recovery of a diazo dye, Pergasol red 2B (PR2B) from its
aqueous solution. Breakthrough curves were evaluated
showing the efficiency of Argemone Mexicana seeds and
Xanthium Strumarium seed hull for dynamic removal of
PR2B from its aqueous solution. The Percentage
saturation for AM and XH was found to be 99.08 and
98.25 % respectively.

In the present work, apparent molar volume and
isentropic compressibility of glycine and diglycine in
aqueous 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride,
[C4mim][Cl] solutions have been calculated from the
measured experimental data on density and speed of
sound at temperature,T= (298.15 , 298.15 and 308.15) K.
The apparent molar volumesat infinite dilution, and
the apparent isentropic molar compressibilityat infinite
dilution , , were also calculated. These results have
been interpreted in terms of effect of temperature and
concentration on interactions such assolute–solute,
solute–solvent and solvent–solvent which exist in the
mixtures. Furthermore, apparent molarexpansivity, ,
and Hepler's constant values, have been
evaluated to support the conclusions obtainedfrom the
volumetric and acoustic studies. The Hepler’s constant
25
values were found negative which indicating the amino
acids under study are predominantly a structure breaker
due to hydrophobic hydration of amino acid in aqueous
ionic liquid.

Ripening is a process in fruits that makes them more
palatable and softer. Fruit ripening occurs with loss of
fruit firmness and progressive degradation of the middle
lamella and primary cell wall. Fruit ripening is associated
with textural modifications, which is the major event in
fruit softening. Texture change is the important part of
ripening, which takes place due to enzymatic degradation
of structure as well as storage polysaccharides. Generally,
fruit ripening is believed to be modification of pectin and
hemicellulose in cell wall. During fruit ripening, pectin
enzymes play an important role in cell tissue degradation.
Increased solubilization of the pectic substances,
progressive loss of tissue firmness and rise in the PG and
PME enzyme activity accompany fruit ripening.
Trewia nudiflora Linn. is a tropical plant mainly
distributed in India, Malaysia & South China. In India, it
is found from Kumaon southward (Himalaya) and
eastward to Assam (Hainan Island). It is found wild in
Forest areas. The hard green fruit of Trewia nudiflora fall
to the ground in large numbers during the monsoon
season (June to July) and are a preferred fruit of the
rhinoceros. The fruits of T. nudiflora are reported to be
edible. The fruits are not utilized and are waste.
Preliminary studies show that the fruits of T. nudiflora
have pectin content and can be a additional source for
commercial pectin. Experiments with Trewia nudiflora
fruit was conducted at various stages of ripening from
unripe to ripe stage. The fruits of Trewia nudiflora were
collected at different stages of fruit ripening and changes
in physicochemical properties were determined with
special reference to pectic. Four stages of ripe fruits were
post climacteric and ripening as judged by both colour
development and texture. Changes in cell wall structure
and decrease in tissue firmness of the fruits of Trewia
nudiflora were investigated at different stages of
ripening. During ripening, decrease in cell wall
polysaccharides as acetone insoluble solids and increase
in total soluble sugar was observed.

Solution Combustion synthesis has been applied to

LaFeO3 production with a view to boosting its activity for
diesel engine exhaust gas purification by enhancing its
specific surface area. With a highly exothermic and self-
sustaining reaction, this oxide can be quickly prepared
from an aqueous solution of metal nitrates (oxidisers) and
urea (fuel). The favourable conditions for LaFeO3
formation were sought: only fuel-rich mixtures are
effective, but carbonaceous deposits are formed when too
much urea is used. Under operating conditions in which
the combustion synthesis reaction takes place, the
specific surface areas were not dramatically higher than
those obtained with traditional methods; moreover, even
short thermal treatments have been found to rapidly
deactivate the catalysts by rapid sintering with a view to
tackling these problems, NH4NO3 was chosen as an
additive for its low costs, highly exothermic
decomposition and also because it generates gaseous
products only, without altering the proportion of the other
elements in the catalysts. With ammonium nitrate,
specific area was enhanced from 4m2/g up to about
20m2/g. A short thermal treatment at 900◦C partially
deactivates also the NH4NO3-derived catalysts. It was
found that NH4NO3-boosted mixtures produce materials
whose activity, after a similar thermal treatment, is
practically the same as the perovskites obtained by the
“citrates” method. Combustion synthesis is though rather
cheap-in terms of reactants employed—and quick,
because the process requires few minutes at low
temperature without successive calcination. However, the
main drawback of this method is that hazardous or
polluting compounds are emitted during the synthesis
(mainly NH3 or NOX).

Eight new tellurium (IV) complexes of Isatin-o-
Aminothiophenol Schiff base (HITP) have been
prepared. This HITP Schiff base has been prepared by
reaction of isatin (1-H-indol-2,3-dione) with o-
Aminothiophenol. Tellurium (IV) complexes of Isatin-o-
Aminothiophenol Schiff base (HITP) have been
synthesized when TeCl4 /RTeCl3 /R2TeCl2 reacted with
HITP to yield TeCl3(HL), RTeCl2(HL) and R2TeCl(HL);
where R = p-methoxyphenyl, p-hydroxyphenyl, 3-
methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl and HL = HITP. The complexes
have been characterized by elemental analyses, infrared
and proton NMR spectral studies. The Schiff base acts as
ONO tridentate ligand giving hexacoordinated tellurium
(IV) complexes. In view of this, the entire synthesized
compounds were evaluated for their antifungal and
antibacterial activities.

Hydrogels are water imbibing macro-molecular
structures, which have attained a lot of importance in
many fields. These systems are the focus of considerable
scientific research due to their potential application in
large number of areas: medicine, agriculture and biology.
The water imbibing property of hydrogels is responsive
to the surrounding conditions such as pH, temperature,
ionic strength, magnetic field, ultra violet light, etc. Slow
release (SR) hydrogels are of great importance in
agricultural and drug delivery aspects. We utilize the
properties of hydrogels to be used in agricultural
purposes, since water imbibing and fertilizer retention
can increase soil fertility to a great extent. Punjab is one
of the top states of India that delivers huge productions of
Wheat, Sugarcane, Rice, etc but there are a few regions
of Punjab which are unable to deliver the expected crop
output due to the uncertainties.
In this work, a novel slow released NPK fertilizer
encapsulated by superabsorbent nanocompostite was
synthesized by graft copolymerization of acrylic acid
(AA)-acrylamide (AM) onto Sodium carboxymethyl
cellulose (CMC) and clay mineral nanoparticles
classified as Montmorillonite (MMT) in presence of
Fertilizer compounds. The structure and morphologies of
the superabsorbent nanocomposite were characterized by
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray
Powder Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy
(TEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), barrier
properties and fertilizer release profile. The water
absorption behavior of superabsorbent nanocomposite
was also investigated. The SEM and TEM results
indicated thorough exfoliation of clay and thermal
stability was also increased with increasing clay content.
The best results were obtained at 3% clay. Results show
that the addition of clay nanoparticles (MMT) imparted
the slow release property to the superabsorbent, making
the formulation a viable fertilizer carrier.

The occurrence of high fluoride concentrations in ground
water is a problem faced by many countries. India is one
among the 23 nations in the world, where fluoride
contaminated groundwater is creating health problems.
Natural zeolites are abundant and low cost resources for
wastewater treatment. Due to their high cation-exchange
ability as well as molecular sieve properties, natural
zeolites have been widely used as adsorbents.
Clinoptilolite mineral (natural zeolite) has been reported
as good sorbent for the removal of naturally occurring
fluoride from water. The clinoptilolite material was
chemically modified by Al(OH)3 to enhance its fluoride
removal capability. Batch adsorption experiments were
conducted to examine and optimize various operational
conditions such as adsorbent dose, contact time, pH,
effect of co-ions and initial fluoride concentrations. The
efficacy of AC to remove fluoride from wastewater was
found to be 92% at pH 6.8, contact time of 2 hours,
adsorbent dose of 8 gm L-1 when initial fluoride
concentration of 20 gm L-1 was employed. The fluoride
adsorption on AC is well described by the Langmuir
adsorption model and the maximum adsorption capacity
is 2.28 mg g-1.The kinetic result indicates that the
adsorption of fluoride on Al(III) modified clinoptilolite
follows pseudo first order kinetics.

bis(cyclopentadienyl)metal complexes of Group 4 (IVB)
or cyclopentadienyl-substituted derivatives, and a co-
catalyst, typically methylalumoxane (MAO). In propene

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have found
particular interest in magnetic drug targeting,
hyperthermia, and magnetophoresis, where their flow
behavior in the presence and absence of magnetic field is
of particular interest. Magnetite nanoparticles of diameter
6.5 nm have been synthesized by co-precipitation of Fe2+
and Fe3+ ions at room temperature. They exhibit high
magnetization (~ 70-75 emu/g) even when chelated with
citric acid. Hydrodynamics of these nanoparticles has
been studied in water medium at flow rates similar to
those observed in blood vessels under the influence of
different magnetic fields up to 1 Tesla and at different
distances from the tube wall. An experimental setup
(Figure 1) has been fabricated in-house comprising a
straight test section, a peristaltic pump for pumping
water, a permanent magnet mounted at different distances
from the test section, and a CMOS camera mounted
180from the magnet to image the nanoparticles under
the influence of magnetic and flow fields. The observed
time-lapse images indicate that in the absence of an
external magnetic field, the magnetic interactions
between the nanoparticles are not strong enough to
withstand the normal and shear forces arising from flow.
Thus, most of the particles get washed away. Chelating
the nanoparticles with citric acid disperses the
nanoparticles more effectively, and also aid in flow of the
nanoparticles away from the region of visualization. On
the other, in the presence of a magnetic field, most of the
nanoparticles are attracted to the wall of the tube closest
to the magnet and are retained for longer durations. Yet,
it is also seen that the hydrodynamic forces are able to
gradually remove the retained nanoparticles. The
developed setup is an effective means to study the
hydrodynamics of iron oxide nanoparticles, particularly
in relevance to emerging applications.

Measurement of two-phase flow pressure drop and its
prediction across curved tubes and bends is important for
the enhancement of the performance and safety of the
heat exchangers and flow transmitting devices. The
comparative study of some of the available two-phase
pressure drop correlations reveals that the predicted
values of pressure drops by these leading methods may
differ by large. The applicability of these correlations to
the small diameter tubes of range 4.0-8.0 mm and
different bend angles of the range 90°-180° is not fully
established. The basic objective of the present
experimental investigation is to generate the
experimental data to develop the unified correlation
applicable for the small diameter tubes of range 4.0-8.0
mm and different bend angles of the range 90°-180°.
Hence, experimental facility was developed to conduct
the experiments to generate the data and to assess the
predictive capability of some of the available two-phase
pressure drop correlations. It was observed that the
correlations considered for comparisons were unable to
satisfactorily predict the measured experimental data
within the ±50% error bands. A new correlation is
developed in terms of curvature multiplier to the straight
tube two-phase pressure drop. The correlation is
validated with the present measured experimental data.
The statistical analysis suggests that correlation shows
satisfactory results.

Manganese-doped zinc oxide (Zn0.92Mn0.08O) ZMnO
nanoparticles has been synthesized by auto-combustion
method. The variation in particle size of ZMnO
nanoparticles has been done by increase in calcination
temperature. These ZMnO nanoparticles have been
characterized by Powder-XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM
techniques. The effect of particle size on the antiwear
lubrication behavior of paraffin base oil has been
investigated on Four-ball lubricant tester. The
tribological tests of these nanoparticles as antiwear
additives have been performed at an optimized additive
concentration by varying load for 30 min test duration
and by varying the test durations at 392N load. Various
tribological parameters such as mean wear scar diameter
(MWD), friction coefficient (µ), mean wear volume
(MWV), wear rate and load bearing capacity of the
synthesized NPs have been studied. From these
tribological parameters it has been observed that the
lubrication behavior of nanoparticles is strongly size-
dependent. The best tribological behavior is shown by
nanoparticles of the smallest size. Being sulfur, halogen
and phosphorous free, ZMnOs nanoparticles have
potential to be developed as low SAPS lubricant
additives. These nanoparticles act as nanobearings at
lower loads minimizing metal-metal contact and thus
friction and wear are reduced (Battezet al.; 2010). At
higher loads the antiwear behavior can be explained by
tribosinterization of the nanoparticles (Jaiswal et al.;
2014, Battezet al.; 2008).The surface topography of the
worn surfaces has been investigated by SEM and contact
mode-AFM which show the drastic reduction in surface
roughness in presence of ZMnOs nanoparticles. The
value of surface roughnessess of steel surfaces lubricated
29
with different ZMnOs nanoparticles is in conformity with
their observed tribological behavior.

Chemical Department, Jaipur National University,
Jaipur (India)
Reactive distillation (RD) is a unit operation in which
reaction and separation takes place simultaneously. In
conventional distillation process, reaction and separation
operations occur in series of columns, thus the economy
required for the process is large. On the other hand
reactive distillation uses a single column for both the
processes. The reaction takes place in the middle section
of the column leading the separation in rectifying and
stripping sections. The reaction and the separation zones
are having complex interaction between vapor-liquid
equilibrium, vapor-liquid mass transfer, intra-catalyst
diffusion and chemical kinetics.In the present work a
dynamic simulation of PID controller on MATLAB for
the production of ethyl acetate in reactive distillation
column is done. The effect on change in controller gain
Kc and integral time τIfor load change in feed
composition, feed flow rate and set point change is
studied.

Petri net was introduced by Carl Adam Petri in 1939.
Petri nets are abstract mathematical objects used to model
the flow of information and control in concurrent
systems. Petri net can be used as a visual communication
tool similar to flowchart, block diagram or a network.
Theoretically, Petri nets have been used as a powerful and
convenient tool for representing and studying the
structure of decision making processes which can often
be tricky or complex. A Petri net is a bipartite directed
graph consisting of two type of nodes, namely, place
nodes and transition nodes. Directed arcs connect places
to transitions and transitions to places to represent flow
relation.In this paper, we occupied with a specific sub-
class of 1-safe Petri nets in the context of producing sets
of `0'-`1' sequences as their marking vectors. In
particular, we have investigated an extremal property,
viz., the existence of all the 2n binary n-vectors as

marking vectors, calling such Petri nets as Boolean Petri
nets. The aim of this paper is to construct and characterize
Boolean Petri nets that contain strong chain cycle. This
class of Boolean Petri nets are very much useful to study
genetic regulatory system in which the marking vectors
represent the the entity either active state `1’ (e.g., a gene
is expressed or a protein is present) or inactive state `0’
(e.g., a gene is not expressed or protein is absent). The
state of a gene regularity system containing n entity that
will be corresponds as number of places and the firing of
transitions of transitions gives the change of state in the
gene regularity system.

Impulsive delay differential equations extensively used
for mathematical modeling of many fields. But many
impulsive delay differential equations cannot be solved
analytically or it is very difficult to solve due to
discontinuity at impulse moments. In this paper, an
algorithm for analytic solution of impulsive delay
differential equations with impulses at fixed moments is
presented. The result shows that the present method is
more efficient and accurate as compared to the existing
literature. The application of this method is illustrated

Characterization of Petri Nets whose Reachability
Tree is Finite Complete Binary Tree
GajendraPratap Singh
School of Computational and Integrative Sciences, Jawaharlal
Nehru University, New Delhi (India)
A Petri net is a discrete event driven dynamical system
introduced by Carl Adam Petri 1939. It can be
represented as graphically as directed bipartite graph in
which one set of nodes taken as place nodes, denoted by
circles and other one is the set of transitions represented
by boxes. The directed arcs are used to connect place
nodes as well transitions nodes to represent the flow
relations and the black dots inside the place nodes called
markings of Petri nets. Petri nets are the better technique
to analyze the real world problem because they give the
dynamical behavior the realistic events. In this paper, the
Jensen definition of the Petri nets is used because it is the
most compatible and easy to understand. In previous
work, on characterizing Boolean Petri nets we have
developed many of the fundamental results those can be
used in switching theory, electronics, lattice theory, etc.
On the continuation of this work, in this note, the
characterization of Petri nets whose reachability tree is
finite complete Binary tree have been discussed. In many
branches of sciences, social sciences, etc, the complete
binary tree concept is most commonly used to solve and
model the real world problems. It helps to study succinct
data structure, add/delete node insertion, many
algorithms in optimization techniques such as integer
programming problems, linked representation and
memory representation, etc.

The notion of lacunary convergence was given by
Freedman et al. [1] and that of n - normed spaces by
Misiak [2]. The concept ideal convergence was
introduced by Kostyrko et al. [3] and of difference
sequence spaces by Kizmaz [4].
In this paper is to introduce a new class of ideal
convergent (briefly -convergent) sequence spaces using,
infinite matrix, lacunary sequences with respect to a
sequence of modulus functions = ( ) and difference
operator defined on n-normed spaces. We study these
spaces for some linear topological structures and
algebraic properties. We also give some inclusion
relations for these sequence spaces.

In this paper, a combined form of the Laplace transform
method with the homotopy perturbation method is
proposed to solve nonlinear Keller-Segel equations. This
method is called the homotopy perturbation transform
method (HPTM). The nonlinear terms can be easily
handled by the use of He’s polynomials. The result shows
that the HPTM is very efficient, simple and avoids the
round-off errors. Two test examples are considered to
illustrate the present scheme. Further the results are
compared with different methods in literature.

horizontal unconfined aquifer interaction

Department of Applied Mathematics & Humanities, S.V.
National Institute of Technology, Surat (India)
The non-linear Boussinesq equation representing stream-
aquifer interaction problem in horizontal unconfined
aquifer is analytically discussed. An approximate
analytical solution is obtained using variational
homotopy perturbation method. With the proper choice
of initial approximation the obtained approximate
analytical solution satisfies initial and boundary
conditions of the problem. It is found that the numerical
31
results behave well with the physical phenomena of the
problem. Three specific aquifer materials viz. sand, silt
and limestone are considered and their values for the
height of the water table are compared. The present
analytical method is reliable and can be equally well
applied to other non-linear equations arising in the stream
aquifer interaction problems.

A possibility and expected value approaches to solve
a solid transportation problem with restricted fixed
charge in a hybrid uncertain environment
Amrit Das, Dipanjana Sengupta, Uttam KumarBera
Department of Mathematics, National Institute of Technology,
Agartala (India)
This paper mainly investigates the restricted fixed charge
solid transportation problem under a hybrid uncertain
environment where fuzziness and roughness coexist. We
create a fuzzy rough STP model by integrating the
classical STP, fuzzy set theory, and rough set theory,
which apparently provide a way to accommodate the
uncertainty. To solve the problem so formed, we apply
the fuzzy rough expected value operator and propose the
possibility based STP model with fuzzy rough parameters
on a rough space. Finally, the proposed STP model with
fuzzy rough data are illustrated with a numerical example
using the LINGO 13.0 software. Some important
managerial decisions are also drawn by observing the
optimal result.

This paper is concerned with the study of flow, heat and
mass transfer characteristics on the transient natural
convection flow on an electrically charged,
incompressible fluid in induced magnetic field in a
vertical channel. The time dependent momentum, surface
concentration, energy and magnetic induction equations
are solved semi-analytically using the Laplace transform
technique along with the Riemann-sum approximation
method. The solutions are compared with the closed form
solutions evaluated for the steady states which have been
evaluated separately and also by the implicit finite
difference method. The results obtained show the impact
32
of Prandtl number Pr, Grashof number Gr, Gm, Schmidt
number Sc, magnetic parameter M and time t on velocity,
heat and mass transfer. The graphical results for velocity,
induced magnetic field, current density, and skin-friction
based on the semi-analytical solutions are discussed.

Human expresses their emotions by means of verbal and
nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communications
are done mainly using facial expression. This paper aims
to recognize human emotion using nonverbal
communication of human facial expressions. Different
mathematical techniques like: principle component
analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and
independent component analysis (ICA) are widely used
for human facial expression recognition. This paper
applied fusion of PCA and LDA based model for facial
video emotion recognition with neural network (NN),
fuzzy approach and Ekman’s proposed concept of action
units of faces. Moreover, actual data support results are
obtained in linguistic form using action units with fuzzy
approach on four individual persons for identification of
nature of input video and compare with the actual data to
validate the model. This paper concludes that developed
approach provides 99% accuracy for human facial
expression recognition from input video.

Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Graphic Era University, Dehradun Uttarkhand (India)
This research study highlights two main objectives, first
is selection of best suited material for gearbox housing
and second objective is selection of number of connecting
bolts to eliminate the excitation due to looseness of
gearbox housing. Heavy vehicle medium duty truck
transmission gearbox housing is subjected to harmonic
and internal excitations which are the main source of
noise and vibration. Noise and vibration harness is
required to increase the performance of transmission
gearbox. Gearbox housing materials should have
damping nature to sustain the vibration and minimised the
gear damage by reducing the amplitude of vibration.
Connecting bolts are used for mounting gearbox
transmission assembly on truck frame. (5-37) connecting
bolts are used for tightly mounting of gearbox on truck
frame. Looseness condition causes heavy vibration and
damage to gears. Response surface methodology (RSM)
has been used for parametric optimization and finite
element analysis (FEA) was used for calculation of modal
frequency and mode shapes. The fundamental frequency
varies (981.03-1779.4) Hz. The results of FEA have been
verified with results available in literature. FEA analysis
was done using Ansys 14.5 and solid edge, Pro-E has
been used for geometric modeling.

Enhancement of fly ash concrete byhydrated lime
and steel fibres
Siddharth George*, Sofi.A
SCE, VIT University, Vellore, TN (India)
Fly ash, a pozzolanicbyproduct from thermal power
plants, is increasingly being incorporated into concrete to
create cheaper, environmental friendly, yet strong and
durable fly ash concrete, with up to 30% replacement for
OPC. But attainment of strength via pozzolanic action of
flyash particles is slow and results in low early strength
of fly ash concrete and adversely affects its popularity in
the field.
Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide), the combination of
lime (calcium oxide) and water, is popular in construction
activities, most commonly for plastering purposes.A
theory suggests that effective pozzolanic reaction of fly
ash particles is hindered due to unsatisfactory quantities
of lime in most fly ash compositions, and that this is the
cause of low early strength in fly ash concrete. This lack
maybe overcome by addition of hydrated lime to the mix
and thus, in turn, improving the overall performance of
fly ash concrete.
Steel fibres are already established enhancers of concrete.
With existing studies pointing to enhanced performance
of steel fibre reinforced concrete at certain percentages of
33
fly ash inclusion, the effect of these fibres in the
proposedimproved lime fly ash concrete mix would be
even more superior.
This paper primarily investigates the improvements on
fly ash concrete with addition of hydrated lime on
properties like compressive, tensile, flexural and
elasticity, to provide a comprehensive collection of basic
data, which is then extensively compared to properties of
corresponding flyash concrete sans lime, at all instances
of study including material testing, mix design,casting
and curing conditions, on fresh and hard
concrete.Furthermore, drawing inspiration from ancient
lime-based mortars, which utilized saline and lime water,
for casting and curing purposes, the same is tested for this
lime-included mix. Secondly, the above studies are
repeated for additional inclusion of steel fibres to further
improve the capabilities of this mix.
Finally, the study is concluded by drawing inferences for
results, by means of theorizing possible micro mechanics
of the mix, expected chemical reactions of constituents
and from SEM analysis of included materials and created
concrete samples.

biodegradable as compared to synthetic fibers. The
interest in natural fiber reinforced polymeric composites
is rapidly springing up in terms of research and industrial
applications. The increased applications of these natural
fibers in such composites are a proof to this claim. The
paper deals with the detailed study of bamboo fiber,
banana fiber and linen fiber cut into 2-4 mm of length
with epoxy resin having random orientations. Various
tests like Impact test (IZOD and CHARPY test), Fourier
Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) test, T- test and Rockwell
Hardness test were conducted on ten specimen of bamboo
epoxy resin composite, bamboo-banana epoxy resin
composite and bamboo-linen epoxy resin composite. It is
analyzed and proved that bamboo-banana epoxy resin
composite shows better results in Impact test and FTIR
test while bamboo-linen epoxy resin composite shows
better result in Rockwell hardness test. We compared
bamboo with bamboo-banana and bamboo-linen epoxy
resin composites using paired T- test with MATLAB.
There is a noteworthy improvement in results by adding
banana and linen fibers to bamboo epoxy resin
composite. In future, we are going to carry out tests with
various compositions and various sizes of fibers of
bamboo-banana epoxy resin composites, bamboo-linen
epoxy resin composites and banana-linen epoxy resin
composites.

Road, Indore (India)
TiO2 is a well-known wide band gap material used as
photocatalyst, UV-absorber and pigment. As pure TiO2
has band gap 3-3.2 eV, its applications are limited in UV
light region. Vanadium doping is one of the most popular
way to tune its bandgap to make it applicable in visible
light also. Hence optical and related properties were
explored in several literatures. In this report we are
presenting the study on magnetic and dielectric properties
of V-doped TiO2. Ti(1-x)VxO2 nanoparticles were prepared
by modified pechini method for x= 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.06 and
0.09. The pure phase formation was confirmed by XRD
and Raman Spectroscopy. The study on temperature
dependence of magnetic property of pure as well as V-
doped TiO2 was carried out for temperature range 5 K to
300 K with 1000 Oe magnetic field and moment vs.
applied field measurements were done up to 2 T at 5 K
and 300 K. The pure as well as doped samples were found
to be paramagnetic. The V-concentration has significant
impact on changing the magnetic moment. Changes in
magnetization with temperature as well as applied
magnetic field were studied. Magnetic moment remains
almost constant between 300 k and 200 K. Below 200 K
moment increases as temperature decreases and start
increasing sharply below 50 K. In order to study electric
properties we have done dielectric measurement for
broad temperature range from 200 K to 600 K and
frequency ranging from 100 Hz to 10 MHz.

also studied the effect of various dopants on linear
optical, NLO and electrical properties.
In the present study, the effect of lithium chloride (LiCl)
doping on the linear optical and second harmonic
generation (SHG) has been studied. LAA crystals with
various level of LiCl doping were grown by low
temperature solution growth method at a constant
temperature. X-ray diffraction study confirms the crystal
structure. Enhancement in the optical transparency in

properties of Ln3+ in oxyborate BZOB crystal has been
studied. In the present investigation, the synthesis and
effect of Nd doing on SHG property of BZOB is being
presented.
The polycrystalline powder samples of pure and Nd (5
mol%) doped BZOB in the ternary system Bi2O-ZnO-
2H3BO3 were synthesized by solid state reaction method.
Powder samples were subjected to powder X-ray
diffraction (XRD) analysis to confirm crystalline phase
and study crystal structure. The SHG study shows that the
SHG effect has been enhanced by Nd doping. The
improvement in the SHG by Nd doping may make the

The objective of the paper was to investigate by statistical
analysis, the degradation of mechanical properties due to
hygrothermal exposure of the glass fibre-reinforced
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites at
different orientations and compositions. The glass
reinforced ABS composites were prepared by hot press
technique with different orientation sequences such as
0/90, 45/-45 and 30/60 strand orientations. The
specimens of tensile, flexural, ILLS, impact and flexural
fatigue tests were exposed to artificial sea water at 50 deg
C. All the tests were conducted as per ASTM. Design of
experiments using Taguchi L18 Array was formulated to
examine the influence of parameters on properties
degradation in sea water exposure. ANOVA was
performed to identify the factors of significance
weightage factor.
The Grey Taguchi results showed that fibre orientation of
0o/90o and fibre to resin ratio of 40:60 are the most
optimal combinations based on their flexural strength
(86.6 MPa), ILSS (13.68 MPa), UTS (37.8MPa), impact
strength (134.9 J/m), swelling (1.05%), weight gain
(1.22%) and fatigue (111715 cycles to failure). After
moisture absorption ANOVA showed that contribution of
fibre orientation (23.12%) for flexural strength, fibre
orientation (30.49%) for ILSS, fibre orientation (23.15%)
for impact strength, period of immersion (45.18%) for
ultimate tensile strength, fibre orientation (18.1%) for
swelling, period of immersion (57.74%) for weight gain
and fibre : resin ratio (14.7%) for flexural fatigue, with
level of confidence of 95%. Fractography showed fibre
pull out, de-bonding and also fibre breakage along the
loading conditions. The overall results showed that 0o/90o
fibre orientation and 40:60 fibre-to-resin ratio are best
combination for high degradation resistance.

Multiferroic Properties of Tb doped BiFeO3 - A
First-principles Study

Multiferroic materials have been fascinating the
researchers recently since ferromagnetism and
ferroelectricity exist simultaneously. Ferromagnetism
and ferroelectricity are coupled with each other in these
materials as magnetism can be induced by applying an
35
electric field and also ferroelectricity is exhibited by
applying an magnetic field. Since the materials have both
ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity present together,
they find applications in nanoelectronic devices and data
storage media.BiFeO3, one of the promising and well
studied candidate among the single phase multiferroic
materials exhibit antiferromagnetic ordering and
ferroelectricity at room temperature. The ferroelectricity
in BiFeO3 arises due to the stereochemically active 6s2
lone pairs of Bi3+ and the antiferromagnetic ordering is
due to the 3d states of Fe atoms. This material has
potential applications in high density non-volatile
memories due to its high ferroelectric Curie temperature
of 1103 K and an anti-ferromagnetic Neel temperature of
643 K.
The problems associated with this material are i) large
leakage current, ii) high dielectric loss and hence world
wide attention is on doping the BiFeO3 with other metals
at A (Bi) and B (Fe) sites to combat these problems and
enhance the multiferroic properties in BiFeO3.In this
respect, we have made an effort to study the effect of
doping BiFeO3 with a rare earth ion Tb at A site (Bi) and
investigated the multiferroic properties of BiFeO3.The
density functional theory were performed. Since the
electronic energy levels of Bi ion is placed far away from
the Fermi region, doping at A site generally will modify
the band gap and band filling in an indirect manner.
The Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on Tb-
doped BiFeO3 were done by using the Vienna Ab Initio
Simulation package (VASP). The projector augmented
wave (PAW) pseudopotentials were utilized to illustrate
the exchange and correlation effects in the generalized
gradient approximation.The Hubbard U correction of
Dudarev (GGA+U) was added to treat the correlation
effects. The Tb-doped BiFeO3 modeled supercell
containing 60 atoms was relaxed until the Hellmann-
Feynman forces are less than 0.001 eV/Å and the total
energy convergence is fixed to 0.00001 eV. The
Monkhorst-Pack scheme was employed to generate k-
point meshes for the Brillouin zone integration. Structural
parameters, electronic properties such as density of states
and band structure were examined and bonding analysis
was done by projected COHP analysis and bader charges
using bader analysis. These results provide a clarity on
the enhancement of the multiferroic properties by doping.
