providing security to data is one of the major challenges in cloud computing. As many users use cloud for storing their private data it is essential to provide privacy and security for it. Many approaches are present to handle these issues but lack in providing confidence in end users as they are unaware of the status of data. Due this reason of many big companies, users are not showing interest in cloud .So to provide transparency third party auditing is done as not only cloud service provider is assuring the security of the data but also third party auditor. This increases the confidence of the end users as well third party auditor informs end user about any data breach if happens which makes end user to have awareness about his data. this paper throws light on how third party auditing is a key factor in increasing the trust of end user, big companies on cloud computing.

Increasing number of mobile users is being allowed to use wireless mobile network services where the roaming service provides the constant services to a network without breaking the connection. Ensuring security in roaming service is a great challenge. In the absence of home server the inter-domain security should be established which makes it feasible for mobile users to move into the foreign domains. An authentication mechanism is required between the mobile users and the foreign server which supports the highly secured communication in wireless networks. In addition maintaining the privacy of the mobile user is an important requirement such as the information about behavior of the user who needs the roaming service. The participations of home attendants have engrossed significant interest to its stimulus on the communication proficiency. Formal protocols incur high communication and computation cost. The proposed protocol that has a novel three-round architecture which uses a pseudo-identity based signcryption scheme to perform efficient revocation with short revocation list and the authentication efficiency is higher than that of existing protocols. To provide the better computation efficiency and lightweight storage efficiency this scheme does not require the highest computational cost on the roaming user. A detailed analysis and overhead evaluation on a number of performance metrics such as computation cost and time is given to validate the performance of proposed protocols.

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a subclass of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET). It communicates in two approaches Vehicle-To-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-To-Infrastructure (V2I). By communicating with other vehicles and with Road Side Units (RSUs) VANET provides many lifesaving and commercial services. There are no fix infrastructures in VANET. Both Vehicle-To-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-To-Infrastructure (V2I) take place with the help of On Board Unit (OBU) which is residing on the vehicle. Scheduling is a very important issue in VANET as messages are to be delivered to the recipient vehicle properly and accurately. It is important to send emergency, lifesaving and messages with critical information before general entertainment and commercial messages. It is also critical that any message which is sent to the vehicle is received by it in the time period for which the vehicle will be in range of the RSU.The objective of our work is to enhance the delivery of a message from RSU to vehicle. To achieve this we will develop a priority based scheduling protocol which will send the message from the RSU to the vehicle in the required time bound by broadcasting periodic messages which results into reduction in network traffic and without affecting the service ratio and without compromising reliability.

Speech Augmentation aims to improve speech quality by using various techniques and algorithms . Minimising the intervening noise in a speech signal is a challenging task for many years. Compared to traditional unsupervised speech enhancement methods, e.g., Wiener filtering supervised approaches, such as algorithms based on hidden Markov models (HMM), lead to higher-quality enhanced speech signals. However, the main practical difficulty of these approaches is that for each noise type a model is required to be trained a priori. In this paper, we investigate a new class of supervised speech de noising algorithms using nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). We propose a novel speech enhancement method that is based on a Bayesian formulation of NMF BNMF). To circumvent the mismatch problem between the training and testing stages, we propose two solutions. Firstly, HMM is used in combination with BNMF (BNMF-HMM) to derive a minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator or the speech signal with no information about the underlying noise type. Secondly,a scheme is suggested to learn the required noise BNMF model online, which is then used to develop an unsupervised speech enhancement system.Extensive experiments are carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed methods under different conditions.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non invasive medical test which is used by radiologists to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Comprehensive images of the body part/tissue are produced using 1.5 Tesla strong magnetic field and radio frequency pulses. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is based on the principle of changing the magnetization property of the hydrogen atoms in human body by using RF fields. These RF fields are generated using a set of pulses called as pulse sequence. Design of these pulse sequences depend on the imaging application required. In this paper the design method of producing these pulse sequences is explained in detail. Pulse sequence is a sequence of temporal waveforms consisting of RF pulses, gradient (magnetic fields) waveforms and data acquisition intervals. Some of the commonly used pulse sequences are: Spin Echo (SE) sequence, Inversion Recovery (IR) sequence, Gradient Echo (GRE) sequence etc. Using these SE, IR, GRE pulse sequences we get different images like T1 weighted, T2 weighted, proton density (PD) weighted image. These images depend on Repetition Time (TR), Echo Time (TE) and Proton Density (PD) (1). The signal received from hydrogen proton is recorded and then K space is filled. By taking the Inverse Fourier Transform of K space data the image is reconstructed.

Bhavnagar port is located about 10 km away from the city. It is located on the creek, about on creek about 3 km inside the sea. To say in brief, a basin of about 100000 sqmt is dug out and a channel is connecting the basin and sea. The tide difference at Bhavnagar port is maximum i.e about 10 m. The structure was designed in pre independence era and was completed in sixties’. The core bore data were collected in 1930. The water from the sea side enters in the basin by creek connecting it. During the high tide, water is basin is filled with sea water. As there is wide difference in the tide water returns back into the sea, also the water coming from sea side brings with it silt which deposited in the basin. To avoid the problem of siltation and to maintain the water levelinside the basin water flowing back into the sea was required to be held. To make this possible a lockgate was proposed on the creek so that by closing the gate water can be held inside the basin for the required time. To stop the siltation and seepage a flaking dam and sheet pile was inserted inside below the sill beam of the lock gate respectively. ( Fig I )
