This paper identifies trust factor and rewarding nature of bitcoin system, and analyzes bitcoin features which may facilitate bitcoin to emerge as a universal currency. Paper presents the gap between proposed theoretical-architecture and current practical-implementation of bitcoin system in terms of achieving decentralization, anonymity of users, and consensus. Paper presents three different ways...
The respirable fraction of ambient particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5μm, (PM2.5) collected at a rural site in Agra during September, 2015 to February, 2016 were characterized with respect to 8 metals (Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) by Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy. The metals were chemically fractionated by sequential extraction in order to determine...
Autonomic computing allude as a self-managing feature that; autonomic nervous system, manages the body. A system is autonomic if it can monitor changes by itself, analyze, plan actions according to it and execute them automatically in order to become a reliable system. The present work focuses on a real life case study of traffic light management system, plays an important role in our daily lives...
Years are passing and so is the population of the world increasing. Electricity is the major requirement in the present era because of its increasing demands. In future due to energy shortage, the dependence on renewable energy sources will increase because nonrenewable sources are present in very less amount and nonrenewable energy sources will not be able to fulfill our requirement for energy. There...
Seismocardiography (SCG) measures the precordial vibrations using a sensor called accelerometer, which is of small size and low weight. These features support better attachment of it to the subject's body and hence get less affected by the slow motion of the subject. However, noise generated due to the footsteps, while walking, contaminates the SCG signal. Therefore, in this paper, a novel method...
Noise suppression from the phonocardiogram (PCG) signal is important to improve the diagnostic efficiency. For the PCG signal, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based denoising method has been used extensively due to its good performance. However, the performance of this method depends on the threshold value and the way to apply it on the wavelet coefficients. Therefore, in this paper, an adaptive...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the key modulators implicated in the regulation of virtually every biological process found in multicellular eukaryotes. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide. To date, only a few conserved miRNAs have been reported in wheat and their association with different metabolic process is still in dark. Therefore, the present study we attempt...
Automatic diagnosis of the heart valve diseases generally requires the segmentation of heart sound signal. Henceforth, in this paper a novel algorithm for automatic segmentation of the heart sound signal is proposed. The heart sound signal is acquired using seismocardiography (SCG), which uses a sensor called accelerometer. The accelerometer is of small size and low weight and thus convenient to wear...
Analysis of electromechanical (E-M) window provides an early marker of several cardiovascular diseases. The E-M window is defined as the duration between the electrical systole (QT) and the mechanical systole (QS2). Traditional methods for the estimation of the electrical systole and the mechanical systole are electrocardiography (ECG) and phonocardiography (PCG). PCG is a widely used method due its...
The operation of power system requires maintaining the balance between the load and generation. The system experiences load variations which results deviations in frequency and tie-line power. This generate overshoots and fluctuations in the system. The AGC represents the control of tie-line power flows and the frequency of the system. This paper proposes an optimal fuzzy controller in an interconnected...
The application of capacitors in distribution system is well known to electrical engineers. The use of capacitors is accepted as a necessity in the distribution system design. Reactive currents produce losses, so to compensate these losses capacitors are employed. In design of capacitor banks the following parameters are to be focused: voltage profile, power factor and the released capacity. It is...
The analysis and the formation of the electric energy industry implements by forming a platform for the three components covering the generation, transmission, and distribution. Once the electric power is formed, it is further passed through the transmission lines having high voltage and large capacity to the regions in which the electricity will be consumed. Then it is converted to a voltage that...
This paper describes the model to evaluate and grade the Java programs, based on QMOOD (Quality Model for Object Oriented Design). QMOOD is the hierarchical model that defines relation between qualities attributes(like reusability, functionality, effectiveness, understand ability, extendibility, flexibility) and design properties with the help of equations. In this research we have developed the system...
This paper provides a new horizon for safe communication through Information Hiding on Internet. WWW pages steganography is a solution which makes it possible to send data without being altered and intercepted and traced back to sender. Various steganographic techniques have been designed till now which ensures the Integrity and Confidentiality of data maintained in HTML documents. The technique proposed...
In this paper an adaptive single seed based region growing algorithm (ASSRG) is proposed for color image segmentation. The proposed method starts with the center pixel of the image as the initial seed. The region growing formula uses three homogeneity criteria local, global and relative, in two steps to label the pixel to a region. It first checks for the color similarity of the pixel with respect...
In a spacecraft, the Electro Explosive Devices (EED) are used for the appendages deployment activities like Antennas Deployment, Solar arrays deployment etc. EED electronics package provides the required excitation to fire the SQUIB. During the launch phase, the spacecraft experiences a high level of Electromagnetic (EM) radiation. The EEDs should not get enabled due to the EM radiation. EMC analysis...
Teaching mathematics has been a complex issue for educators as well as learners. Same is the condition for the hearing impaired learners. Multimedia can be a big facilitator in order to render simpler and effective learning methods in the field of teaching mathematics to the hearing impaired students. The guidelines of United Nations Convention of Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD, 2007),...
Predicting driver behavior is a key component for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In this paper, a novel approach based on Support Vector Machine and Bayesian filtering is proposed for online lane change intention prediction. The approach uses the multiclass probabilistic outputs of the Support Vector Machine as an input to the Bayesian filter, and the output of the Bayesian filter is used...
Boost converters play an important role in renewable energy conversions applications. The smooth operation of the converters depends on the quality of switching operation and the device used. In the present work the topology of Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) is proposed to achieve the desired output of single phase AC-AC Boost converter and DC-DC boost converter. Sinusoidal pulse width modulation...
In this paper, we present a region growing technique for color image segmentation. Conventional image segmentation techniques using region growing requires initial seeds selection, which increases computational cost & execution time. To overcome this problem, a single seeded region growing technique for image segmentation is proposed, which starts from the center pixel of the image as the initial...
