The Indian temple architecture depicts clearly their evolution, following the original ancient models, which were derived from religious consideration and this practice is further being followed, since many centuries. These temples are actually, the place of transcendence where man crosses over from world of illusion, to the world of truth. The main style of Hindu temple architecture in India had its modest beginning precisely from the Mauryan rule i.e 3rd century BC. The Indian Silpasastras recognize mainly three categories of the temple style, the Nagara, Dravida and Vesara, but there was also another style very prominent, known as the Kalinga style, which is very distinguished all over the world for their unique characteristics, that existed between 6th century A.D to 16th century A.D in Odisha. The aim of the paper is to describe the Kalinga style of architecture and the basic characteristics of the temples of this style, eventually concluding with interpretation of the plan forms of the temples, to be following a scientific and methodical path of evolution.

According to statisticsâ€road to safetyâ€, in a highly populated country like India, the usage of vehicles are rapidly increasing and at the same time people lose their lives because of accidents and poor emergency facilities. Hence, the value of human life is ignored. These lives could have been saved if medical facilities were provided at the right time. This paper proposes a system which can be installed in any car on the road at a minimal cost, acting as a solution to the mentioned drawback. An accelerometer sensor is used to sense the vibrations and tilt generated by the vehicle when it meets with an accident. This digital output from the sensor is used by the Arduino Uno controller, which is the heart of the system, to trigger the GSM module to deliver an SMS to preprogramed numbers such as ambulance, police station, family member of the victim etc. indicating that an accident has occurred. The accident location is provided by the global positioning system (GPS), which provides the latitude and longitude of the location, and with this information a link is sent in the SMS depicting the accident spot via Google map service provider.

According to the energy balance of the combustion engine, efficiency of internal combustion engine is around 30%, remaining energy is wasted as exhaust gas, which has a high percentage of loss 40%, and rest are wasted in lubrication, cooling water and radiation. In order to increase the efficiency of engine lot of researchers try to recover waste energy from the exhaust gas, among that thermoelectric generator (TEG), plays an important role in recovering waste energy from the exhaust gas. Thermoelectric generator efficiency depends on the shape of heat exchanger, the size of the fins and material of the thermoelectric element. In this paper, four different configurations of heat exchange modeled and compared through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. They are Fishbone shape, accordion shape, and serial plate and empty cavity heat exchangers. The Serial plate has better heat transfer rate than Fishbone, accordion and empty cavity heat exchanger.

In long distance optical communication systems a solution to the problem of dispersion phenomenon of pulses as they travel along the fiber is optical solitons since they maintain their shape over long distances. Multiple solitons or pulses are formed when the pumping is increased in fiber lasers. The soliton bunches and bound states of soliton patterns formed due to the multiple solitons are in non-stationary state because of the oscillations within the bunch. Hence these multiple solitons may become unstable. To improve the stability of multiple solitons intensity modulation technique is used. In this paper a review on the multiple solitons, their stability and recently developed techniques to increase stability are discussed.

Maintaining manual driving license system is very difficult task for the government agencies to monitor as the number of vehicle users are increasing day by day, so for agility plus perfection we need something advance than conventional way of maintenance. Finger print authentication scheme is a non-imitable biometric authentication scheme. By using this biometric authentication; we can prevent the non-license from driving. So we will avoid accidents. The proposed system consists of a smart card capable of storing the finger print of a particular person. While issuing the license, the specific person’s finger print is to be stored in the card. The same automobile should have facility of finger print reader. A person, who wishes to drive, must match his finger print with the smart card otherwise the car will not ignite. Car theft security module also provided using GSM. The groups of finger print images were previously stored in the database, when the new finger print is introduced the GSM will send a message to the authority. The car will ignite, if it gets a positive reply from the authority otherwise the car gets locked. Further, door detector and Seat belt detector are provided to the authentication module. The whole system is built on technology of embedded system which makes more safe, reliable and easy to use.

Internet has become one of the basic amenities for day-to-day living. Today, in world communication has become very easy with evolution of many communication technologies using internet. However internet has become a curse for visually impaired because of the fact using requires visual perception. Even if much new advancement has been implemented very efficiently the visually challenged user find it very difficult to use this available technologies as the normal naïve user may practice it. So, this paper aims at developing an E-mail architecture that will help the naïve visually impaired person to access the services easily and efficiently for communication without previous training. This architecture will reduce cognitive load taken by blind person to remember and type characters using keyboard as all operations are going too enabled through mouse. This system can be used effectively by handicapped and illiterate persons as it is based on TTS, STT CONVERSIONS and IVR technologies.

As water is becoming a meager material day-by-day, there is an urgent need to investigate in saving of water for making concrete and curing. Curing of concrete is maintaining satisfactory moisture content in concrete during its early stages in order to develop the desired strength and durability properties. The concept of self-compacting and internal curing is to eliminate the compaction for concrete also maintaining sufficient moisture content in concrete for curing purpose. So, an attempt has been made to develop self-compacting self-curing concrete (SCSCC) by using Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) as self-curing also called internal curing agents. The effect of variation in strength parameters such as Compressive strength, Splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture and Modulus of elasticity were studied for different dosage of self-curing agent (0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7% weight of cement) and from the experimental investigation it is manifest that addition of 0.3% SAP was achieved desirable properties.

In the present study, an attempt has been made for deposition of B4C-NiCr powder on low carbon steel by laser cladding to improve wear resistant of the substrate. clad powder blends of B4C and NiCr of composition 10%B4C+90%NiCr (80%Ni20%Cr) were deposited by laser cladding using a continuous wave CO2 laser under optimum processing conditions. The result showed that the microstructure of the clad layer consisted of dispersion of B4C particles in the form of nickel borides (NiB, Ni2B). The wear resistance of laser clad low carbon steel was significantly improved as compared to as-received low carbon steel substrate. The wear rate of laser clad low carbon steel (0.1563×10-9 kg/Nm) is much lower than that of as-received substrate (0.1892×10-9 kg/Nm).

Online social networks (OSNs) are an important source of information for scientists in different fields such as computer science, sociology, economics, etc. However, it is hard to study OSNs as they are very large. For these reasons, we argue that sampling techniques will be the best technique to study OSNs in the future. For this reason here we combine some papers and present some Online social network methodologies that are used for easily finding sampling techniques.
