http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us April Network forensics comes under the domain of digital forensics and deals with evidences left behind on the networkiafter a cyber-attack. It is indication of the weakness that led to the crime and the possible cause. Network focused research comes up with many challenges which involves the collection, storage, content, privacy, confiscation and the admissibility. It is important and critical for any network forensic researcher or the investigator to consider adopting efficient forensic network investigation framework or the methodologies in order to improve investigation process. The main aim of this research contribution was to do a comprehensive analysis of concepts of networks forensics through extensive investigation and by analyzing various methodologies and associated tools which should be used in the network forensic investigations. Detailed and in depth analysis of concepts of network forensic investigation on a designed/conceived network architecture was carried out which was then followed by analyzing various methodologies and tools employed. An innovative framework for the investigation was designed which can be used by any forensic expert. The acquired data was analyzed by using information, strategizing and collecting evidence and by analyzing and reporting of the methodologies on the conceptualized network. Consequently, it led to the researcher to adopt and utilize a powerful and efficient forensic network methodology that will ultimately help in improving the investigation process and providing required tools/techniques along with the requisite guidelines that will determine the approach, methods, and strategies which are to be used for networkiforensiciprocess to be followed and be executed with the use of relevant tools that will tend to help in the simplification and improvement of the forensics investigation process. http://ijaems.com/detail/evaluating-network-forensics-applying-advanced-tools/ Abdullah Shah http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1IJAEMS-10320238-Evaluating.pdf This study presents the results of five reinforced concrete (RC) pile specimens that were created and horizontally loaded. The RC piles were reinforced by composite materials such as geogrid, geogrid with a core of steel rod, and geogrid with a core of glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) or carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) rod. This research is expected to investigate the behavior of using composite materials in pile reinforcement and check their efficiency in carrying horizontal loads. The horizontal pile loading test was applied to four pile specimens and a reference pile specimen reinforced by steel rods. All specimens have the same dimensions (150 mm in diameter and 1050 mm in height). A comparison has been carried out between the experimental results for all specimens and the reference specimen. The experimental results illustrated that the specimens carried a lower ultimate horizontal load by 44%–87% compared to the reference specimen. Also, a non-linear finite element analysis has been verified by Abaqus software and achieved a great degree of reconciliation compared to the experimental results. Finally, a comparison of the reinforcement costs for the specimens revealed that utilizing these composite piles could reduce the cost up to 15.2%. http://ijaems.com/detail/behavior-of-composite-piles-reinforced-by-geosynthetics/ El-Sayed A.

Badawi http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/2IJAEMS-10420231-Behavior.pdf Herein we report the formation of cubic-phased Cadmium Oxide thin films using the aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) technique which gives high-quality, uniform thin film. The structural, morphological, and optical characterization of the deposited films was done using X-ray diffraction, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, etc.The XRD analysis reports that crystallite size increases with film thickness. TEM shows particle size ~ 30 nm. SEM studies reveal an increase in surface roughness and porosity with the increase in thickness. Optical data shows band gap decreases with an increase in thickness. Semiconducting metal oxides (SMO) are broadly used in gas sensors for sensing different gases. Their sensitivity can be increased by varying the different parameters involved in the deposition process. The gas sensing ability of CdO thin film shows that increasing of number of depositions enhances the sensitivity bizarrelyfor ethanol. http://ijaems.com/detail/chemical-vapour-deposited-cdo-thin-film-for-ethanol-sensing/ Dr. Gajendra Prasad Gadkar http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/3IJAEMS-03202324-Chemical.pdf
