http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us November 2017 Over the past years, quality assurance processes in education have become increasingly common and are steadily gaining in importance in all public and private higher education institutions. This, in turn, has brought about calls for greater accountability on the part of educational providers in measuring outputs or outcomes through quality assurance processes. Presently, the NONESCOST is continuously pursuing its quest for quality education as manifested by its International Certification on ISO 9001 and AACCUP Accreditation. With the recent challenge for all private and public HEIs on Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA), NONESCOST is taking its first step. Hence, this study was undertaken to ascertain the extent of compliance of the College to the Key Result Areas (KRAs) of ISA and its significant difference and relationship. Descriptive method was used in the study using the Self-Evaluation Document (SED) of the CHED-ISA administered to the College Officials and employees using purposive sampling technique. The study revealed that NONESCOST is greatly compliant as a whole and as to the five KRAs but the indicators were not fully met at a level of excellence that can be a model for others. A significant difference exist at 0.05 level for KRA1-Governance and Management, KRA2-Quality of Teaching and Learning, KRA3-Quality of Professional Exposure, Research and Creative Work, and KRA5-Relations with the Community. Further, no significant relationship exists between Governance and Management to; KRA2, KRA3 and KRA5 while a significant relationship exist between Governance and Management and KRA4: Support for Students. http://ijaems.com/detail/institutional-and-program-self-evaluation-ipse-towards-institutional-sustainability-assessment-isa/ Samson M.

This study presents the design, construction and performance of solar grain dryer. In the dryer, the heated air from a separate solar collector is passed through a grain bed, and at the same time, the drying cabinet absorbs solar energy directly through the transparent walls and roof. Tests carried out on the drier showed that the temperatures inside the dryer and the solar collector were much higher than the ambient temperature during most hours of the daylight. The temperature rise inside drying cabinet was up to 24oC (74%) for about three hours immediately after 12.00h (noon). This indicates better performance compared to open sun drying. http://ijaems.com/detail/development-of-a-solar-drier-for-domestic-applications/ Harrison K. Tarus, Ahmed M. S http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/3 IJAEMS-OCT-2017-17-Development of a Solar Drier.pdf The current trend in the industry is to analyze large data sets and apply data mining, machine learning techniques to identify a pattern. But the challenges with huge data sets are the high dimensions associated with it. Sometimes in data analytics applications, large amounts of data produce worse performance. Also, most of the data mining algorithms are implemented column wise and too many columns restrict the performance and make it slower. Therefore, dimensionality reduction is an important step in data analysis. Dimensionality reduction is a technique that converts high dimensional data into much lower dimension, such that maximum variance is explained within the first few dimensions. This paper focuses on multivariate statistical and artificial neural networks techniques for data reduction. Each method has a different rationale to preserve the relationship between input parameters during analysis. Principal Component Analysis which is a multivariate technique and Self Organising Map a neural network technique is presented in this paper. Also, a hierarchical clustering approach has been applied to the reduced data set. A case study of Air quality measurement has been considered to evaluate the performance of the proposed techniques. http://ijaems.com/detail/influence-over-the-dimensionality-reduction-and-clustering-for-air-quality-measurements-using-pca-and-som/ Navya H.N http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/4 IJAEMS-OCT-2017-19-Influence over the Dimensionality.pdf According to increasing human needs for energy and to avoid energy waste, researchers are struggling to increase the efficiency of energy production and energy conversion. One of these methods is increasing heat transfer and reducing heat dissipation in heat exchangers. Using porous materials in the fluid flow is one of the passive methods to increase heat transfer in heat exchangers. The existence of porous media in the flow path, improve the matrix of thermal conductivity and effective flow thermal capacity and also matrix of porous-solid increase radiation heat transfer, especially in two phase flow (gas-water) systems. In this paper, recent studies on the effect of using porous media on enhancement the amount of heat transfer in heat exchangers has been investigated via using porous media with difference porosity percentage, material and geometric structure in the flow path in numerical simulations and laboratory studies. http://ijaems.com/detail/using-porous-media-to-enhancement-of-heat-transfer-in-heat-exchangers/ Sonia Rashidian, Mohamad Reza Tavakoli http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/5 IJAEMS-NOV-2017-2-Using Porous Media to Enhancement.pdf The principle underlying expression basically involves the separation of a solid from the liquid in which it is suspended by passing the mixture through a porous medium with pore sizes too small to allow the passage of the solid particles at an applied pressure. The analytical method of the finite element method has been used to determine the relationship between pressure distribution and displacement distribution along sludge cake height in a filter press expression process. The finite element formulation basically involves the properties of the sludge in question as distinguished from other solution. The solution domain was idealized as a one-dimensional quadratic shape function for the purpose of this analysis and the displacement function formulation method were employed in solving the pressure distribution. It was discovered that pressure increases with an increase in displacement of the cake at different time of expression. It was also discovered that pressure increases simultaneously with displacement as the time of expression increases. The ranges of displacement in a sludge cake height with increase time of expression increases with a decrease in sludge depth, hence impacting positively of the effective pressure. The displacement increases continuously with increase time of expression. http://ijaems.com/detail/effect-of-displacement-on-pressure-distribution-in-cake-expression/ Ndekwu O. B., Ademiluyi J.

The idea of combining these two algorithms which may lead to improved performance. Initially clusters are formed by neighborhood. The cluster is a combination of one clusterhead, two deputy clusterheads and cluster members. This system uses a Hierarchical clustering algorithm for efficient data transmission to their clusterhead by cluster members. The clusterhead aggregate the collected data and check for trustworthiness. The data is aggregated by clusterhead using the iterative filtering algorithm and resistant to collusion attacks. Simulation results depict the average energy consumption, throughput, packet drops and packet delivery under the influence of proposed algorithm. http://ijaems.com/detail/hcifr-hierarchical-clustering-and-iterative-filtering-routing-algorithm-for-wireless-sensor-networks/ Anusha S, Mrs. Prathima M N http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/7 IJAEMS-NOV-2017-8-HCIFR Hierarchical Clustering.pdf The principle underlying expression basically involves the separation of a solid from the liquid in which it is suspended by passing the mixture through a porous medium with pore sizes too small to allow the passage of the solid particles at an applied pressure. The analytical method of the finite element method has been used to determine pressure, displacement and concentration distribution along sludge cake height in a filter press expression process. The ranges of displacement in a sludge cake height with increase time of expression increases with a decrease in sludge depth. The displacement increases continuously with increase time of expression. The finite element formulation basically involves the properties of the sludge in question as distinguished from other solution. The solution domain was idealized as a one-dimensional quadratic shape function for the purpose of this analysis and the displacement function formulation method were employed in solving the pressure distribution. The results of the finite element solution further showed that concentration increases with decreasing height of sludge cake interface during sludge dewatering. There is however an increasing tendency to uniformity of concentration with increment in the time of expression. http://ijaems.com/detail/comparative-study-of-the-quadratic-and-linear-shape-function-model-in-cake-expression/ Ndekwu O.
