Pages: 238 - 240
Corn is grown on small scale by farmers in developing countries like India. Corn is sold by farmers with cob. The average kernel price is approximately twice the price of cob. Hence, more income can be generated by farmers if corns are decorticated and kernels are sold by themselves in the market. But this requires a cheap, manually operated and efficient corn Sheller. Lack of corn processing machines i.e. corn Sheller, is a major problem of corn production, especially in our country India. A study designed, fabricated, and performance of a corn Sheller consisting of feed hopper with a flow rate control device, shelling unit, separating unit and power system. The performance of the machine was evaluated in terms of throughput capacity, shelling efficiency, material efficiency and mechanical damage. Regression models that could be used to express the relationship existing between the Sheller performance indices, moisture content and feed rate were establish.

Industrial wastewater presents a potential hazard to natural water system. This wastewater contains organic matter, which is toxic to the various life forms of the system. Industrial wastewater has complex mixture of chemicals whose behavior towards biological system can be different. Treatment of these wastes is therefore of paramount important. Wastewaters produced from pharma Industries pose several problems. Pharma industries are widely been used for the production of wide range of antibiotics, solvents and many by-products which are widely useful for both man-kind and in agriculture purpose. This study was designed a waste water treatment with an aim at minimizing and removing of COD, BOD, dissolved solids and toxic compounds, before it releases into a water body. In the present study efficiency of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) in removing contaminants was determined. It was found that MFC is much effective and cheaper method for treating waste water and for the removal of TDS, TSS, BOD, COD, Sulphates and Chlorides. Batch type anaerobic biological treatment plant was constructed and operated for pharma industry waste water treatment. The hydraulic retention time was 12 days. The treated water samples were collected for every 72 hours and tested for its pH, TSS, TDS, COD, BOD, Sulphates and Chlorides to evaluate the efficiency of the plant. The results obtained were quite appreciable as it reduced COD to 91.5% and a small amount of 335mV has also been produced.

Year: 2015, Volume:2, Issue : 1
Pages: 248 - 252
Regression testing is a common and necessary task carried out by software practitioners to validate the quality of evolving software systems. Unfortunately, regression testing is often an expensive, time-consuming process, particularly when applied to large software systems. Consequently, practitioners may wish to prioritize the test cases in their regression test suites to execute more important test cases earlier in the regression testing process. One common goal of this test case prioritization is to increase a test suite's rate of fault detection, a measure of how quickly faults are detected by a test suite. Recent research has begun to incorporate the practical issues of varying test costs, test criticalities and fault severities into test case prioritization techniques and metrics measuring the rate of fault detection of these techniques. However, more empirical data is needed to sufficiently examine both the metrics and techniques developed by this research. To address this need, we conducted a case study to further examine the effectiveness of various prioritization techniques that incorporate varying test costs and criticalities. Software practitioners can use the results of this study to help enhance the effectiveness of their regression testing procedures and, in doing so, improve the quality of their software.

Pages: 257 - 265
Concrete made from glass fiber and recycled coarse aggregate as partial replacement of coarse aggregate will be studied for workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity. I will use recycled coarse aggregate as partial replacement of coarse aggregate by different percentage for making concrete of different grade from lower to higher like M-20. The percentage replacement will be 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% with natural coarse aggregate. I will prepare cubes, cylinders, beams and finally slump test, compressive strength test, splitting tensile strength test and flexural strength test will be conducted to obtain the necessary results. A large no. of trial mixes are required to select the desired optimum replacement of coarse aggregate by recycled coarse aggregate.

Pages: 266 - 271
The use of alternative aggregate like silica sand is a natural step in solving part of depletion of natural aggregates. The investigation on alternative material for concrete making started before half a century. Concrete made from silica sand waste as fine aggregate was studied for workability, compressive strength, Split tensile strength and Flexural strength. Further, study of its durability will ensure greater dependability in its usage. So here in this project, Silica sand had been used as replacement of fine aggregate by different percentage for making concrete of M-20, with w/c ratio 0.50 & 0.45. The percentage replacement will be 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% with natural fine aggregates. For making concrete OPC-53 grade cement is used. Cubes, beams and cylinders will be casted and tested compressive strength, Split tensile strength, and flexural strength as well as for durability properties. Optimum replacement of silica sand can be used in structural concrete.

Pages: 278 - 281
This paper proposes an image retrieval method based on multi-feature similarity score fusion using genetic Algorithm. Single feature describes image content only from one point of view, which has a certain one-sided. Fusing multifeature similarity score is expected to improve the system's retrieval performance. In this paper, the retrieval results from color feature and texture feature are analyzed, and the method of fusing multi-feature similarity score is described. For the purpose of assigning the fusion weights of multi-feature similarity scores reasonably, the genetic algorithm is applied. For comparison, other three methods are implemented. They are image retrieval based on color feature, texture feature and fusion of color-texture feature similarity score with equal weights. The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to other methods.
