Abstract- Effect of microwave drying on dolicohos lablab seeds (green coloured seed) at various doses (600 and 750 watts) on the proximate composition, vitamins (thiamine, raiboflavin) and antinutritional factors were investigated significant changes were observed in the chemical characteristics of microwave treated seeds. Microwave drying resulted in a significant increase of protein at all doses, while the crude lipid, and ash content showed a dose dependent decrease. Raw seeds were rich in vitamins (thiamine, raiboflavin); when the seeds were dried, significant decreases were reported. Microwave drying processing significantly reduces the levels of phytic acid, tannins, trypsin inhibitor activity, and total phenols content.

Abstract- Urbanization is taking place rapidly in India. Most of the villages in India have turned to towns and towns have turned to cities in the past few decades. The reason behind this urbanization is because of rapid industrial growth which brings employment. A higher growth in employment and a better life style observed in cities has resulted in migration of a large population from rural to urban areas. Due to this migration, population density is being rapidly increasing in urban areas, which demands a large fleet of private and public vehicles in cities. Currently a huge part of the transportation systems all over the globe relies on conventional vehicles which are propelled by non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. The depletion of these natural resources and the pollution problems associated with it leads to significant transportation problems. Also the growing numbers of these vehicles has resulted in traffic congestion in urban areas. These pertaining problems insist us to create another easy and eco-friendly mode of transportation. This paper provides the solution to the traffic congestion, pollution and to reduce fuel consumption by providing Bicycle Sharing System (BSS) as a feeder system to the Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) of Surat city in Gujarat, India. A field survey on the feasibility of BSS in Surat city is carried out and on its basis the parameters for providing BSS stations has been decided. The Idea of implementing BSS had an overwhelming response and also it was found that it provides a permanent solution to the traffic congestion experienced by the city and it was also seen BSS had a significant positive impact on public life socially and economically.

Abstract- Accidents are not natural but they are caused’ is a common cliche in the area of traffic safety. Thus if accidents are caused by some, surely the ones responsible for could be identified and appropriate remedial measures should be developed and implemented to the extend feasible. Various traffic studies such as details of road inventory, signage inventory, traffic volume, pedestrian volume count, spot speed, speed and delay, accident study etc helps in suggesting the improvement measures.

Accident data collection helps to identify the cause and type of vehicles involved in the accident. This helps in suggesting measures based on design or other conditions. Accident data collection is followed by the surveys to be conducted in order to check the efficiency of the existing design. Thus various surveys are conducted such as traffic volume count, speed and delay study and spot speed study and also road inventory details. The existing design will be unable to handle the increasing rate of accidents; hence a new design in terms of change in radius is adopted. The design should meet the target for which it was proposed and for that an analysis shall be done after the design is brought into use.

Abstract- A recommendation system is a system that recommends a user or users, the items, possibly, of their interest. There are wide examples of recommendation systems like the recommendation of books on Amazon, or recommendation of movies on some web-portal. A large class of recommended ads that a user sees on some web page comes from the cookie information saved on the user machine. The recommendation system discussed in this paper is the one which is based on the user interest, to the extent accurately as might be possible, based on the profile of the user and the overall rating of the item. Recommendation systems are classified by the mechanism which is used to calculate the affinity between the user and the item. Content based recommendation system recommends the items based on the properties of the similar items. On the other hand, collaborative filtering based system predicts the user interests based on properties of items and users having similar interest. In this paper, colleborative filtering is implemented in conjunction with Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classifier to classify the users having similat interests to model more accurately the user likes and dislikes as compared to collaborative filtering alone. The model proposed in this paper is based on the generic SVM classifier and thus applicable to a large class of items as compared to specific domain-based content filtering. The proposed model is implemented on Netflix movie data and the simulations results are compared with those of benchmark techniques.

Abstract- This paper proposes a technique to design fixed parameter decentralized Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) for interconnected power systems. To tune the parameters of a PSS, local information available at each machine in the multi-machine environment is used. Frequency Response estimation called GEP(s) between AVR input and resultant torque is also used, with the knowledge of equivalent external reactance incorporated at generating unit of step-up transformer and infinite bus voltage or their estimated values at each machine. Conventional design techniques like P-Vr frequency response approach and method of residues are based on complete system information. In the proposed method, information available at high voltage bus of step-up transformer is used to set up a modified Heffron – Phillip’s model, thus to decide the structure of PSS compensator and tune its parameters at each machine in a multi-machine environment by the signals available at Generating Station. The efficacy of the proposed stabilizer to damp out inter area and local modes of oscillations effectively over a wide range of operating conditions is evaluated by a wide area system. Simulation studies compare the proposed stabilizer with conventional design.

Abstract- Software Defined Networks (SDN) allows to route the traffic dynamically in the network based on flow description. Packet header look up is important step in improving performance of SDN. There are many packet classification techniques available based on the application for packet header lookup. Packet header look up will improve network processing. The improved network processing will improve performance of SDN. In this paper we proposed an optimized packet classification technique. This system will generate prefix match rule and range matching rules. It looks up each packet header and checks whether the given IP addresses are matching with the prefix and port number matches with the range given by user. Those packets follows these rules are allowed into network and others are discarded. This process will reduce network overhead and it will improve (SDN) performance.

Abstract- Web servers are ubiquitous, remotely accessible, and often misconfigured. In addition, custom Web-based applications may introduce vulnerabilities that are overlooked even by the most security-conscious server administrators. Consequently, Web servers are a popular target for hackers. To mitigate the security exposure associated with Web servers, intrusion detection systems are deployed to analyze and screen incoming requests. The goal is to perform early detection of malicious activity and possibly prevent more serious damage to the protected site. Even though intrusion detection is critical for the security of Web servers, the intrusion detection systems available today only perform very simple analyses and are often vulnerable to simple evasion techniques. In addition, most systems do not provide sophisticated attack languages that allow a system administrator to specify custom, complex attack scenarios to be detected. We present Web STAT, an intrusion detection system that analyses Web requests looking for evidence of malicious behavior. The system is novel in several ways. First of all, it provides a sophisticated language to describe multistep attacks in terms of states and transitions. In addition, the modular nature of the system supports the integrated analysis of network traffic sent to the server host, operating system-level audit data produced by the server host, and the access logs produced by the Web server. By correlating different streams of events, it is possible to achieve more effective detection of Web-based attacks.
