The findingsconsistently show that free cashflowshave a positive effect on firm performance for all sectors. However, the impact of free cashflows on firm performanceis different between firms with and without investment opportunities. This shows the relevance of Jensen's free-cashflows theory (1986) to listed Vietnamese firms at thesectoral level. http://ijaems.com/detail/free-cashflow-and-firm-performance-evidence-from-sectoral-levels-for-vietnamese-listed-firms/ Le Long Hau http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/2 IJAEMS-APR-2017-5-Free cashflow and firm performance.pdf This work reports the outcome of an experiment carried out by using milled glass (MG) of varying percentages (20%, 40% and 60% by weight)of cement in concrete making. MG was sourced for and milled to required fineness. The concrete was batched with mix ratio of 1։2։ 4. Concrete Cube specimens produced were allowed to cure for 7-28 days and compressive strength, slump and setting time tests were carried out and were compared with those of conventional concrete (0% MG). Results obtained showed that compressive strength of the concrete increased with increase in length of curing age, but decreased as the percentage of MG increased. However, the strength still remained in the allowable range of workability for concrete in line with British standard. MG replacement of 20% was found to be the most suitable mix considering the strength and safe use of the concrete. It was concluded that MG replacement of 20% showed no significant loss in strength compared to the control sample and is stable and could be acceptable in most concrete. At the long run. Waste glass that currently constitutes waste concern in built environment in Nigeria can best be managed through alternative use in concrete production. http://ijaems.com/detail/compressive-strength-of-concrete-containing-milled-glass-as-partial-substitute-for-cement/ Raheem S.B, Oladiran G.

The execution of cycle was dissected for various (warm, evaporator, condenser weights) values and also warm temperature qualities to demonstrate its impact on cycle warm proficiency. In this work, the heater weights qualities was accepted limited between (10to 26 MPa), the pressure proportion (warm stage weight to evaporator weight) was expected fluctuated in wide range from (0.1 to 1.0), while the condenser weight was accepted shifted between (5 to 25 kPa). And, a variety in warm temperature esteem was done between scopes of (400-600oC) at low weight turbine. The outcomes demonstrate that the warm productivity is considerably upgraded when the pressure proportion lies between (0.25-0.35) and the ideal proficiency is gotten when the pressure proportion and evaporator weight are equivalent to( 0.33 and 26MPa) separately . http://ijaems.com/detail/performance-analysis-of-steam-power-plants-using-ideal-reheat-rankin-cycle/ Dr. Fawaz Sultan http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/4 IJAEMS-APR-2017-7-Performance Analysis of Steam Power Plants Using Ideal Reheat-Rankin Cycle.pdf Voice is the best biometric feature for investigation and authentication. It has both biological and behavioural features. The acoustic features are related to the voice. The Speaker Recognition System is designed for the automatic authentication of speaker’s identity which is truly based on the human’s voice. Mel Frequency Cepstrum coefficient (MFCC) and Linear Prediction Cepstrum coefficient (LPCC) are taken in use for feature extraction from the provided voice sample. This paper provides a comparative study of MFCC and LPCC based on the accuracy of results and their working methodology. The results are better if MFCC is used for feature extraction. http://ijaems.com/detail/comparative-study-of-voice-print-based-acoustic-features-mfcc-and-lpcc/ Shivani Jain, Brij Kishore http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/5 IJAEMS-APR-2017-4-Comparative study of voice print Based acoustic features MFCC and LPCC.pdf The present study applies with hyperspectral remote sensing techniques to map the lithology of the Oddanchatram anorthosite. The hyperspectral data were subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF), Pixel Purity Index (PPI) and n-Dimensional Visualization for better lithology mapping. The proposed study area has various typical rock types. The PCA, ICA and MNF have been proposed best band combination for effectiveness of lithological mapping such as PCA (R: G: B=2:1:3), MNF (R: G: B=4:3:2) and ICA (R: G: B=3:1:2). The derived lithological map has compared with published geological map from Geological Survey of India and validated with field investigation. Therefore, ASTER data based lithological mapping are fast, cost-effective and more accurate. http://ijaems.com/detail/lithological-discrimination-of-anorthosite-using-aster-data-in-oddanchatram-area-dindigul-district-tamil-nadu-india/ Gurugnanam.

MB and MG are most commonly used dyes in textile industries and removal of two dyes with higher concentrations from the solution mixture is a typical attempt to solve the real life problem on dye removal. The effects of bed depth, influent concentration, flow rate, pH of the influent solution on breakthrough curve were investigated. Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Adamas-Bohart and Bed Depth Service Time [BDST] model were used to validate the adsorption performance and breakthrough curves. The removal of dyes at different flow rate [5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 ml/min], bed depths (6, 8, 10 cm), influent concentrations [170, 190, 200, 240 mg/L] and pH value [5.1, 7, 9.2] using Rice Husk Ash as an adsorbent were studied. The experimental results indicated that percentage adsorption of dyes increased with decreasing flow rate, increasing bed depth and lowering of influent concentration. The results further revealed that the percentage removal of dyes in the mixture was 99 %.Adams-Bohart and Thomas model were performed well than the other two models in use. http://ijaems.com/detail/removal-of-basic-dyes-from-aqueous-solution-by-adsorption-using-rice-husk-ash-a-fixed-bed-column-study/ Soumitra Banerjee, Dr. Anupam Debsarkar, Dr. Siddhartha Datta http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/7 IJAEMS-APR-2017-10-Removal of Basic Dyes from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption Using Rice.pdf Infrastructure is the back bone of economic development of any Nation. Road infrastructure plays key role for trade and commerce, connecting the production and consumption centers. Road and transportation infrastructure construction is highly capital intensive, wherein the government alone cannot meet its ends and initiated Public Private Partnership (PPP) for its execution right from planning and designing to its maintenance through various PPP models. Over the last few years many of the awarded roadprojects through PPP modelare stalled citing various reasons. This technical paper analyses the risk factors associated with PPP –toll operated road projects through case studies and suggested corrective measures like shadow tolling and hybrid models for restoration of PPP. http://ijaems.com/detail/why-ppp-modeled-infrastructure-projects-failed-a-critical-review-with-a-special-focus-on-road-sector/ N.

As the cloud offer client to store large amount of data and can use the data from anywhere using the internet. New security problems need to be solved to give intact to the client data available in the cloud. Client has to feel that their outsourced data is in the protected way in the cloud. From the security problems we propose “A NOVEL APPROACH FOR DATA UPLOADING AND REMOTE DATA INTEGRITY CHECKING BASED ON PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY” (ANDURIC-PKC). We will give the formal definition, system model and security model. Then a concrete ANDURIC-PKC protocol is built by using Generic group model and certificate management is not required. This protocol is efficient and flexible, this may be provably secured by using Computational Diffie-Hellman problem. Based on the original client authorization, the proposed protocol can realize the data integrity checking. http://ijaems.com/detail/a-novel-approach-for-data-uploading-and-remote-data-integrity-checking-based-on-public-key-cryptography/ K.Lakshmi Ragini, V.Rani Mounika, K.Sandeep http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/9 IJAEMS-APR-2017-14-A Novel Approach for Data Uploading.pdf In most well known image retrieval test sets, the imagery typically cannot be freely distributed or is not representative of a large community of users. In this paper we present a collection for the MIR community comprising 69,000 images from the Flickr website which are redistributable for research purposes and represent a real community of users both in the image content and image tags. We have extracted the tags and EXIF image meta data, and also make all of these publicly available. In addition we discuss several challenges for benchmarking retrieval and classification methods and applications. http://ijaems.com/detail/the-mir-flickr-retrieval-evaluation-proposal-based-on-user-tags-and-textual-passwords/ Pavan Gujjar Panduranga Rao, Dr. P.

With this, problem of cross coupled SR latch in existing SAFF (NAND latch) is removed. The new flip-flop uses a new output stage latch topology using GDI technique that significantly reduces power consumption and has improved power-delay product (PDP). Various topologies along with their layout simulations have been compared with respect to the number of devices, power consumption, power-delay product, temperature sustainability in order to prove the superiority of proposed design over existing conventional CMOS-NAND design. The simulation has been carried out on Tanner EDA tool on BSIM3v3 45nm technology. http://ijaems.com/detail/high-performance-sense-amplifier-based-flip-flop-design-using-gdi-technique/ Priyanka Sharma http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/11 IJAEMS-APR-2017-26-High Performance Sense Amplifier based Flip Flop Design using GDI Technique.pdf As the cloud computing technology develops during the recent days, outsourcing data to cloud service for storage becomes an attractive trend, which benefits in sparing efforts on heavy data maintenance and management. Nevertheless, since the outsourced cloud storage is not fully trustworthy, it raises security concerns on how to realize data deduplication in cloud while achieving integrity auditing. In this work, we study the problem of integrity auditing and secure deduplication on cloud data. Specifically, willing achieving both data integrity and deduplication in cloud, we propose two secure systems, namely SecCloud and SecCloud. SecCloud introduces an auditing entity with maintenance of a Map Reduce cloud, which helps clients generate data tags before uploading still audit the integrity of data having been stored in cloud. Compared with previous work, the computation by user in SecCloud is greatly reduced during the file uploading and auditing phases. SecCloud is designed motivated individually fact that customers always must encrypt their data before uploading, and enables integrity auditing and secure deduplication on encrypted data. http://ijaems.com/detail/an-enhanced-multi-layered-cryptosystem-based-secure-and-authorized-auditing-deduplication-model-in-cloud-storage-system/ K.

The leachate usually contains high concentrations of ammonium, organic matter, toxic compounds and heavy metals, which makes it unsuitable for discharge in natural bodies without any prior treatment. The formation of leachate threatens the groundwater, soil and environment. Land filling is the one of the least expensive method for disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW). In this study, landfill leachate is treated by coagulation and Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) process by using ultrafiltration (UF). The original sample has BOD/COD ratio as 0.603. Coagulation was used as a pretreatment prior to the biological treatment. . It was done by using alum as an coagulant at an optimum dosage of 160 mg/L. Coagulation has proven effective as a pretreatment. But the effluent quality did not meet the general standards for discharge of environmental pollutants. So the effluent after coagulation process was treated by MBR process. In this study, after MBR treatment all the parameters except BOD have met the relevant Indian Standards for discharge as irrigation water. http://ijaems.com/detail/treatment-of-pretreated-landfill-leachate-by-membrane-bioreactor-process/ Swathy P.S, Habeeba.

Herein, we report a method to synthesize Ag and Au nanoparticles (AgNPs, AuNPs) using one of the world´s worst aquatic weeds, water hyacinth. From a reaction between a solution of AgNO3 or HAuCl4 and controlling the pH, the nanoparticles were synthesized. The optimum pH value to obtained uniform quantum dots was found to be acidic for AgNPs and neutral for AuNPs. The size was highly dependent on pH for AgNPs, a smaller size was for acidic pH, and the larger size was for basic pH, and cubic and hexagonal are the predominant structures, no dependent was observed in AuNPs, and orthorhombic is the most common form. This method was sustainable because water hyacinth is a renewable resource in all world, and their use is not being exploited in any process. The bioreduction process using water hyacinth promotes the metallic nanoparticles formation and applied standard conditions for temperature and pressure. Also, the rate of synthesis is fast. http://ijaems.com/detail/assessment-of-biomass-of-leaves-of-water-hyacinth-eichhornia-crassipes-as-reducing-agents-for-the-synthesis-of-nanoparticles-of-gold-and-silver/ A.Munive-Olarte, G.

Environmental pollution is mainly due to rapid industrialization. It is a demanding problem for maintaining the quality and cleanness of water. The discharges of industrial wastes in to aquatic bodies are a great threat to the aquatic life as well as for human health also. It is a matter of great importance due to their toxicity and after effects. Adsorption is an ecofriendly technique used now a days to treat the agricultural waste water. The sewage water is firstly filtered through suitable low cost and ecofriendly filter medias. Then the filtered water is subjected to adsorption using low cost and easily available natural adsorbents like banana peels and M. Thilapia fish scales. The combination of both these adsorbents was used for treatment of waste water with different proportion of height and contact time. The treated water obtained will have a considerable decrease in TDS, bacterial count, nitrogen content, Iron content, Potassium, TSS, turbidity, phosphorous, etc. as compared to initial characteristics of agro wastewater. This method is highly economic, cost effective and eco-friendly. This helps in reducing the water scarcity with the use of low cost adsorbents . http://ijaems.com/detail/natural-adsorbents-for-agricultural-waste-water-treatment/ Neethu.P, M.A Chinnamma http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/15 IJAEMS-APR-2017-22-Natural Adsorbents for Agricultural Waste Water Treatment.pdf The fishing industries consume huge amount of water and also produce tonnes of waste water from fish preservation and fish tanks.

Pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone (PTSC) has been proposed as a new analytical reagent for the direct non-extractive spectrophotometric determination of palladium (II). The reagent reacts with palladium in acidic medium(pH 2.0, CH3COONa and Con. HCl ) to form a pale yellow coloured 1: 2 (M : L) complex. The reaction is instantaneous and the maximum absorption was obtained at 420 nm and remains stable for 2 hrs. The molar absorptivity and sandell’s sensitivity were found to be 1.63 x 104 L mol-1 cm-1 and 0.635 μg cm-2 respectively. Linear calibration graphs were obtained for 0.9- 10.0 μg/ml of palladium(II).
