http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us May 2016 Cloud computing is that ensuing generation of computation. In all probability folks can have everything they need on the cloud. Cloud computing provides resources to shopper on demand. The resources also are code package resources or hardware resources. Cloud computing architectures unit distributed, parallel and serves the requirements of multiple purchasers in various things. This distributed style deploys resources distributive to deliver services with efficiency to users in various geographical channels. Purchasers in a very distributed setting generate request haphazardly in any processor. So the most important disadvantage of this randomness is expounded to task assignment. The unequal task assignment to the processor creates imbalance i.e., variety of the processors sq. measure over laden and many of them unit of measurement to a lower place loaded. The target of load equalisation is to transfer the load from over laden technique to a lower place loaded technique transparently. Load equalisation is one altogether the central issues in cloud computing. To comprehend high performance, minimum interval and high resource utilization relation we want to transfer the tasks between nodes in cloud network. Load equalisation technique is utilized to distribute tasks from over loaded nodes to a lower place loaded or idle nodes. In following sections we have a tendency to tend to stand live discuss concerning cloud computing, load equalisation techniques and additionally the planned work of our load equalisation system. Proposed load equalisation rule is simulated on Cloud Analyst toolkit. Performance is analyzed on the parameters of overall interval, knowledge transfer, average knowledge center mating time and total value of usage. Results area unit compared with 3 existing load equalisation algorithms specifically spherical Robin, Equally unfold Current Execution Load, and Throttled. Results on the premise of case studies performed shows additional knowledge transfer with minimum interval. http://ijaems.com/detail/load-balancing-in-cloud-nodes/ Samarsinh Prakash Jadhav http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1462546482-1 IJAEMS-APR-2016-69-Load Balancing in Cloud Nodes.pdf This paper aims in thoroughly examine and have a comparative study of the behavior of regular and irregular R.C building with and without shear wall for seismic and wind load activities in different zones of India through equivalent static method and response spectrum method. For this purpose, regular and irregular R.C structures are taken and analyzed against earthquake and wind forces in different zones of India. Further shear wall is introduced in both regular and irregular structure and again analyzed in different zones. For structural irregularity, vertical irregularity and plan irregularity are taken into account. These irregularities are taken as per Indian standard code, IS 1893 (Part I): 2002. The whole models were analysed with the help of CYPE Software. In current study drifts has been considered in both X and Y directions and are compared with structure shear wall. http://ijaems.com/detail/a-comparative-study-on-effects-of-regular-and-irregular-structures-subjected-to-lateral-loading-by-equivalent-static-method-and-response-spectrum-method/ Prabesh Sharma, D.

A crash in terms of computing can be termed as a computer program such as a software application that stops functioning properly. Software crash is a serious problem in production environment. When crash happens, the crash report with the stack trace of software at time of crash is sent to the developer team. Software development team may receive hundreds of stack traces from all deployment sites and many stack traces may be due to same problem. If the developer starts analyzing each trace, it may take a longer duration of time and redundancy many happen in terms of two developers fixing the same problem. This motivates us to present the solution to analyze the stack traces and find the important functions responsible for crash and rank them, so that development resources can be optimized. In this paper we have proposed the solution to solve the problem by developing Software CrashLocator. http://ijaems.com/detail/software-crashlocator-locating-the-faulty-functions-by-analyzing-the-crash-stack-information-in-crash-reports/ Divya R S, Pushpalatha M N http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1462546722-3 IJAEMS-APR-2016-77-Software CrashLocator_ Locating the Faulty Functions by Analyzing the Crash Stack Information in Crash Reports.pdf In today’s technology Cloud computing has become an important aspect and storing of data on cloud is of high importance as the need for virtual space to store massive amount of data has grown during the years. However time taken for uploading and downloading is limited by processing time and thus need arises to solve this issue to handle large data and their processing. Another common problem is de duplication. With the cloud services growing at a rapid rate it is also associated by increasing large volumes of data being stored on remote servers of cloud. But most of the remote stored files are duplicated because of uploading the same file by different users at different locations. A recent survey by EMC says about 75% of the digital data present on cloud are duplicate copies. To overcome these two problems in this paper we are using SP theory of intelligence using lossless compression of information, which makes the big data smaller and thus reduces the problems in storage and management of large amounts of data. http://ijaems.com/detail/information-upload-and-retrieval-using-sp-theory-of-intelligence/ Supriya P, Koushik S http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1462546806-4 IJAEMS-APR-2016-79-Information Upload and retrieval using SP Theory of Intelligence.pdf The effect of different combination of Nitrogen-Phosphorus levels was studied in a field experiment particularly on the fodder yield and quality of African tall maize fodder. Nitrogen-Phosphorus fertilizers at the rate of 0-0, 100-30, 120-40 and 160-50 kg per ha were applied. Green fodder yield and dry matter percentage were influenced significantly by the application of nitrogen and phosphorus. Maximum green fodder yield was obtained at Nitrogen-Phosphorus level of 160-50 kg / ha. Quality parameters such as crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, total ash, calcium and phosphorus contents were also influenced significantly by the application of Nitrogen-Phosphorus fertilizers. All Nitrogen-Phosphorus combination produced higher crude protein, crude fibre ether extract, total ash, calcium and phosphorus contents over control. The present study indicates that significantly higher green fodder yield with improved nutrient composition in the form of dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, total ash, Calcium and phosphorus can be achieved with NP fertilizers in an effective combination level of 160-50 followed by 120-40 and 100-30. http://ijaems.com/detail/green-fodder-yield-and-nutrient-composition-of-african-tall-maize-fodder-zea-mays-with-various-nitrogen-phosphorus-levels/ A.B.Kanduri, P.V.Patil and P.S.Mogale http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1462546880-5 IJAEMS-APR-2016-72-Green Fodder Yield and Nutrient Composition of African Tall Maize Fodder (Zea mays) With Various Nitrogen-Phosphorus Levels.pdf Cloud computing is an online primarily based computing.

The liquid level process exhibits Nonlinear square root law flow characteristics. The control problem formulated as level in second tank is controlled variable and the inlet flow to the first tank is manipulated variable. The PID Controller is designed based on Internal Model Control (IMC) Method. The Artificial Intelligent Fuzzy logic controller is designed based on six rules with Gaussian and triangular fuzzy sets. MATLAB - Simulink has been used to simulate and verified the mathematical model of the controller. Simulation Results show that the proposed Fuzzy Logic Controller show robust performance with faster response and no overshoot, where as the conventional PID Controller shows oscillations responses for set point changes. Thus, the Artificial Intelligent FLC is founded to give superior performance for a Non linear problem like two tanks.

It is assumed that a photograph is a perspective projection of a set of objects which can be constructed from transformations of known three-dimensional models, and that the objects are supported by other visible objects or by a ground plane. These assumptions enable a computer to obtain a reasonable, three-dimensional description from the edge information in a photograph by means of a topological, mathematical process. A computer program has been written which can process a photograph into a line drawing .transform the line drawing into a three-dimensional representation and, finally, display the three-dimensional structure with all the hidden lines removed, from any point of view. The 2-D to 3-D construction and 3-D to 2-D display processes are sufficiently general to handle most collections of planar-surfaced objects and provide a valuable starting point for future investigation of computer-aided three-dimensional systems. http://ijaems.com/detail/enhancing-the-design-pattern-framework-of-robots-object-selection-mechanism-a-overview/ Anis Milton.

In recent times the communication focus has shifted to social networking. In order to enhance the text methods of communication such as tweets, blogs and chats, it is necessary to examine the emotion of user by studying the input text. Online reviews are posted by customers for the products and services on offer at a website portal. This has provided impetus to substantial growth of online purchasing making opinion analysis a vital factor for business development. To analyze such text and reviews sentiment analysis is used. Sentiment analysis is a sub domain of Natural Language Processing which acquires writer’s feelings about several products which are placed on the internet through various comments or posts. It is used to find the opinion or response of the user. Opinion may be positive, negative or neutral. In this paper a review on sentiment analysis is done and the challenges and issues involved in the process are discussed. The approaches to sentiment analysis using dictionaries such as SenticNet, SentiFul, SentiWordNet, and WordNet are studied. Dictionary-based approaches are efficient over a domain of study. Although a generalized dictionary like WordNet may be used, the accuracy of the classifier get affected due to issues like negation, synonyms, sarcasm, etc. http://ijaems.com/detail/dictionary-based-approach-to-sentiment-analysis-a-review/ Tanvi Hardeniya, Dilipkumar A.

The algorithms discussed are UF-growth, CUF-growth, PUF-growth, tubeS-growth, tubeP-growth. Uncertainty in data is caused by factors like data randomness, data incompleteness, etc. In some circumstances, users are interested in only some of the frequent patterns instead of all. The user can express his interest in terms of constraints and push them into the mining process as a result, the search space is reduced which is termed as constrained mining. Finally, big data has brought tools for the problem of frequent pattern mining of uncertain data. http://ijaems.com/detail/overview-of-important-algorithms-to-mine-frequent-patterns-from-uncertain-data/ Vani Bhogadhi, Dr. M.

Shell and Tube heat exchanger is invoked for this studies resulting to novel design equations which were stochastically examined and found to be capable of simulating the rating performance dimensions as a function of kinetic parameters. The rating performance models were further generalized to inculcate fractional conversion functionality. The novel design models were simulation to evaluate the overall heat transfer coefficient, mass flow rate of cooling fluid, tube side cross flow area and tube side film coefficient using Matlab R2007B within the operational limits of conversion degree at constant temperature. The heat exchanger is used for the removal of heat generated per reactor unit volume utilizing water as cooling fluid, enters the shell side at 25oC flowing counter currently to the tube side at exit temperature of 85oC in order to maintaining 97oC isothermal condition. The configuration of the exchanger is U–tube type and is three (3) shell and six (6) tube passes.

The currency has great significance in today’s life and may be because the Indian currency recognition is a great area of interest. It is very complex to count different denomination notes in a bunch. This paper proposes an image processing technique for the identification of Indian currency. First we acquire the image using simple scanner or digital camera with a particular size. We use different methods for Indian currency identification like shape recognition, feature extraction and digit recognition. The characteristics extraction is performed on the given images of the currency and it is compared with the characteristics of the original currency. The image processing approach is discussed with MATLB to detect the features of Indian currency. Image processing involves the changing of nature of an image in order to improve its quality of information for human interpretation. The result will be the identification of Indian currency. http://ijaems.com/detail/indian-currency-identification-using-image-processing/ Shyju S, Prof. Thamizharasi A http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1463036131-17 IJAEMS-APR-2016-99-Indian Currency Identification Using Image Processing.pdf New designed residential-sized refrigerators subjected to repetitive random vibrations can be damaged during transportation. The damage consists of fracturing of the tubes between the compressor and condenser and tearing of the compressor rubber mounts. As the reliability quantitative (RQ) test specifications, parametric accelerated life testing (ALT) through sample inspections and corrective action plans was used to identify the key control parameters for the connecting tubes and compressor rubber mounts. The shape of failures in refrigerators found experimentally was identical to those of the failed samples in field. The connecting tube fractures resulted from the problematic shape of the compressor rubber mount. To correct these problems, the mounts and connecting tubes were redesigned. The refrigerators with targeted B1 life were expected to survive without failure during rail transport. Parametric ALTs were effective in identifying the missing design parameters of mechanical systems such as refrigerators during the design phase. The reliability design method presented in this paper should be applicable to other mechanical systems during transportation. http://ijaems.com/detail/reliability-design-of-residential-sized-refrigerators-subjected-to-repetitive-random-vibration-loads-during-transportation/ Seong-woo Woo, Michael Pecht http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1463064546-18 IJAEMS-MAY-2016-4-Reliability Design of Residential-Sized Refrigerators Subjected to Repetitive Random Vibration Loads during Transportation.pdf Algal biodiesel is an attractive renewable source for jet fuel blend.

Many international rankings evaluate the performance of different countries at this level. And Morocco occupies a disappointing position compared to its potential. Paradoxically, Morocco is lagging behind, although in the telecom sector, it is ahead of many developing countries, Thus, in 2015, the index NRI (Networked Readiness Index), measuring the preparation of an economy to make effective use of new information technologies (IT) published by the World Economic Forum, ranks Morocco in the 87th place. Indeed, with the exception of large companies that have implemented a set of tools to automate the process, a large number of SMEs and SMIs are very late as far as IT use is concerned. It means that IS in Morocco is still unable to achieve business perspectives for benefits and processes optimization.

This misbehavior needs to be monitored in order to avoid sudden failure of network. The watch dog mechanism has been sufficiently studied to address the issue of malice node detection, in Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs). A Collaborative Contact based Watchdog (CoCoWa) is collaborated with information diffusion in the proposed work. This combination strategy analyses all the nodes in a network and provides the information update regarding the selfishness of the specific nodes to other nodes and routing protocols to enable performance oriented transmission. Once the selfish node is detected by the watch dog, it is marked as selfishness positive node else the node is marked as negative selfish node. For enabling this fool proof approach, true neighbors, fake neighbors, their probability of relationships with each other is analyzed. The evaluation of the viability of the proposed work is made in terms of detection efficiency, detection accuracy of both malicious and selfish nodes.

In India, its scope seems to be broader than all labour legislations enacted to protect the workers. It focuses on job security and economic growth of employees. The issue of Quality of Work Life within banking services has drawn considerable attention over the past few years. The movement towards the better service has increased the development of the banking industry. Employees of the banks are providing lots of services in order to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market. On the other hand banks are rewarding those employees by providing many benefits. However, which increased working hours, stress and responsibilities many bankers are unable to balance their personal and professional lives. And, it is resulting in delivering of poor service to the customers. In this context it is felt necessary to conduct a detailed investigation on how bank employees manage their work and personal life. http://ijaems.com/detail/quality-of-work-life-of-indian-bank-employees-a-study-in-warangal-district-telangana/ Aravinda M, Ratna Kishore N http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1463831142-29 IJAEMS-MAY-2016-6-Quality of Work Life of Indian Bank Employees_ A Study in Warangal District, Telangana.pdf Software testing is an activity which is aimed for evaluating quality of a program and also for improving it, by identifying defects and problems. Software testing strives for achieving its goal (both implicit and explicit) but it has certain limitations, still testing can be done more effectively if certain established principles are to be followed. In spite of having limitations, software testing continues to dominate other verification techniques like static analysis, model checking and proofs. So it is indispensable to understand the goals, principles and limitations of software testing so that the effectiveness of software testing could be maximized. http://ijaems.com/detail/principles-and-goals-of-software-testing/ Dr Leelavathi Rajamanickam http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1463831253-30 IJAEMS-MAY-2016-31-Principles and Goals of Software Testing.pdf Mangroves are unique ecosystems that provide valuable coastal area habitats, protection, and services. Access to observing mangrove forests is typically difficult on the ground. Therefore, it is of interest to develop and evaluate remote sensing methods that enable us to obtain accurate information on the structure of mangrove forests and to monitor their condition in time. The main objective of this study was to develop a methodology for processing airborne lidar data for measuring height and crown diameter for mangrove forests in the north-eastern coastal areas of Brazil. Specific objectives were to: (1) evaluate the most appropriate lidar data processing approach, such as area-based or individual tree methods, (2) investigate the most appropriate parameters for lidar-derived data products when estimating height and crown diameter, such as the spatial resolution of canopy height models and ground elevation models; and (3) compare the accuracy of lidar estimates to field measurements of height and crown diameter. The lidar dataset was acquired over mangrove forest of the northeast of Brazil. The crown diameter was calculated as the average of two values measured along two perpendicular directions from the location of each tree top by fitting a fourth-degree polynomial on both profiles. The lidar-derived tree measurements were used with regression models and cross-validation to estimate plot level field-measured crown diameter. Root mean square error, linear regression and the Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient were also used to compare lidar height and field height. The mean of lidar-estimated tree height was 9,48m and the mean of field tree height was 8.44m. The correlation between lidar tree height and field tree height was r= 0.60, E=-0.06 and RMSE= 2.8. The correlation between height and crown diameter needed to parameterized the individual tree identification software obtained for 32 trees was r= 0.83 and determination coefficient was r2 = 0.69. The results of the current study show that lidar data could be used to estimate height and average crown diameter of mangrove trees and to improve estimates of other mangrove forest biophysical parameters of interest by focusing at the individual tree level. The research presented in this study contributes to the overall knowledge of using lidar remote sensing to measure and monitor mangrove forests. http://ijaems.com/detail/measuring-individual-tree-height-and-crown-diameter-for-mangrove-trees-with-airborne-lidar-data/ Josicleda Domiciano Galvincio, Sorin C.

A number of frame-drops can be seen while playing a 4k video on a less powerful device. A multi-purpose android set-top box should be capable of playing the 4k videos alongside of its basic functionalities. Sometimes the hardware allotted for the set-top box may not be up to the mark. Hence, it is difficult to handle 4k videos at a smoother rate. To tackle the above problem we have come up with the solution which tunnels the compressed/uncompressed audio track directly to the Smart-TV based upon its capability. The solution is built for ST’s set top box. In this paper we discuss basics of set top box, android audio architecture and the solution for frame drop backed by the experimental results and by using standard testing methods. http://ijaems.com/detail/optimizing-the-audio-decoding-based-upon-hardware-capability-an-android-nuplayer-implementation/ Prasad Renukdas, Prof. Swarnalatha P http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1463831419-32 IJAEMS-MAY-2016-20-Optimizing the Audio Decoding Based Upon Hardware Capability_ An Android NUPlayer Implementation.pdf The field of fault diagnostic in rotating machinery is vast, including the diagnosis of items such as rotating shafts, rolling element bearings, couplings, gears and so on.

Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous. In this thesis, design optimization strategies and synthesis for robotic arm are studied. In the design process, novel optimization methods have been developed to reduce the mass of the whole robotic arm. The optimization of the robotic arm is conducted at three different levels, with the main objective to minimize the robot mass. At the first level, only the drive-train of the robotic arm is optimized. The design process of a robotic arm is decomposed into selection of components for the drive-train to reduce the weight At the second level, kinematic data is combined with the drive-train in the optimization. For this purpose, a dynamic model of the robot is required. Constraints are formulated on the motors, gearboxes and kinematic performance At the third level, a systematic optimization approach is developed, which contains design variables of structural dimensions, geometric dimensions and drive-train composes. Constraints are formulated on the stiffness and deformation. The stiffness and deformation of the arm are calculated through FEA simulation. The main objective of the thesis is to design optimization and synthesis analysis of robotic arm. The corresponding deflections, stresses and strains for that load will be find out by suing the method of finite element analysis. http://ijaems.com/detail/study-and-analysis-of-design-optimization-and-synthesis-of-robotic-arm/ Bhupender, Rahul http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1463971512-34 IJAEMS-MAY-2016-40-Study and Analysis of Design Optimization and Synthesis of Robotic ARM.pdf In response to the call for stewardship, De La Salle Philippines launched the Project Carbon Neutral in 2009. The implementation of this program is being spearheaded by the Lasallian Institute for the Environment (LIFE) and is participated in by all Lasallian schools in the Philippines. The main objective of Project Carbon Neutral or PCN is to benchmark and assess the status of the carbon footprint of De La Salle Philippines (DLSP), the network of Lasallian educational institutions, with the goal of achieving a “green” educational network that is carbon-neutral or better. Since its implementation in 2009, there has been no baseline study conducted along these areas. The extent of implementation and the level of participation of the Lasallian family were looked into in this study. The study surveyed a total of three hundred three (300) purposively sampled members of the De La Salle Lipa community. The mitigating measures of the PCN are perceived to be often implemented and priority is often shown by the Lasallian community. The Lasallian community is perceived to have moderate levels of participation as they often show priority and have fairly supported the activities of the PCN. Geared towards combating the identified problems, this action plan and monitoring and evaluation plan were drafted and put forward. http://ijaems.com/detail/extent-of-implementation-of-and-level-of-participation-in-the-project-carbon-neutral-the-case-of-de-la-salle-lipa/ Bernardo C.

Wireless Sensor Networks have become a key application in number of technologies. It also measures the unit of vulnerability to security threats. Several Protocols are projected to make them secure. Some of the protocols within the sensor network specialize in securing data. These protocols are named as data discovery and dissemination protocols. The data discovery and dissemination protocol for wireless sensor networks are utilized for distributing management commands and altering configuration parameters to the sensor nodes. All existing data discovery and dissemination protocols primarily suffer from two drawbacks. Basically, they are support centralized approach (only single station can distribute data item).This approach is not suitable for multiple owner-multiple users. Second, the protocols are not designed with security in mind. This Paper proposes the first distributed knowledge discovery and dissemination protocol called DiDrip which is safer than the existing one. The protocol permits multiple owners to authorize many network users with altogether totally different priorities to at an equivalent time and directly flow into data items to sensor nodes. http://ijaems.com/detail/secure-and-efficient-didrip-protocol-for-improving-performance-of-wsns/ Shobhna Vedprakash Pandey, Dr. K.

The objective of this study was to fabricate a twin fluid nozzle (TFN) and evaluate its distribution pattern for on-the-go precision air-assisted agricultural chemical application. The fabricated nozzle prototype was mounted on a test rig in the laboratory with a view to determine its distribution pattern at various liquid pressures and flow rates while the air pressure was kept constant in the first instance.Thereafter, the distribution pattern was also determined for varying air pressure while keeping the liquid flow rate and pressure constant.It was concluded that independent control of liquid flow rates and spray distribution pattern was achieved by a combination of controlling liquid and air pressure. In addition, a flow turndown ratio of 1.414:1 corresponding to 35.34 to 49.98 L/min, at a fixed air pressure was achieved by the TFN and that even spray distribution pattern were observed for 35.34 L/min liquid flow rate and 200 kPa liquid pressure for air pressures below 500 kPa. Although the pattern width was independent of variation in air pressure it decreased by 40 percent as the flow rate decreased from 49.98 to 35.34 L/min. http://ijaems.com/detail/evaluation-of-a-twin-fluid-nozzle-for-precision-air-assisted-agro-chemical-application/ Adewunmi Taiwo http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1464423949-43 IJAEMS-MAY-2016-52-Evaluation of a Twin-Fluid Nozzle for Precision Air-Assisted Agro-Chemical Application.pdf The objective of this research is to develop a supervised machine learning hand-gesturing model to recognize Arabic Sign Language (ArSL), using two sensors: Microsoft's Kinect with a Leap Motion Controller. The proposed model relies on the concept of supervised learning to predict a hand pose from two depth images and defines a classifier algorithm to dynamically transform gestural interactions based on 3D positions of a hand-joint direction into their corresponding letters whereby live gesturing can be then compared and letters displayed in real time. This research is motivated by the need to increase the opportunity for the Arabic hearing-impaired to communicate with ease using ArSL and is the first step towards building a full communication system for the Arabic hearing impaired that can improve the interpretation of detected letters using fewer calculations. To evaluate the model, participants were asked to gesture the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet multiple times each to create an ArSL letter data set of gestures built by the depth images retrieved by these devices. Then, participants were later asked to gesture letters to validate the classifier algorithm developed. The results indicated that using both devices for the ArSL model were essential in detecting and recognizing 22 of the 28 Arabic alphabet correctly 100 %. http://ijaems.com/detail/a-real-time-letter-recognition-model-for-arabic-sign-language-using-kinect-and-leap-motion-controller-v2/ Miada A.
