In the present work, brine sludge is mixed in M30 Concrete mix of paver blocks. A paver is a paving-stone, tile, brick or brick-like piece of concrete which is commonly used as exterior flooring, footpaths and as non-traffic constructions. In the factories, concrete paver blocks are made by pouring a mixture of concrete and some different type of colouring agents into moulds of some shape and allowing to set. Different proportions of brine sludge is mixed in in concrete mix and then tested for engineering properties. The Brine sludge was collected from Grasim Industry Nagda (M.P). By using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy in IIT Powai, elements present in sludge was determined. The thesis presents these results that the sludge can be utilized up to 35% in paver blocks which have been used in non-traffic areas. If more than 35% of sludge is added to the paver block mix, then it fails to satisfy obligatory requirement of the IS-15658 code.

Climate is changing very rapidly and is causing a rapid increase in global warming which requires spending of a lot of money to find its solution. It has nowadays become a major agenda in all the developed and developing countries. India stands in the second largest position in population, fourth largest in energy consumption and third largest in GHG production due to large pollution caused by coal-fire power generation techniques in power plants. So as to eradicate this problem carbon emissions must be controlled and for this carbon emissions trading is being introduced all over the world by Kyoto Protocol in 1997. Under this form of trading, basically the target implies to reduce carbon emissions under which the specific limit is given by Kyoto Protocol for a permissible amount of carbon emissions, up-to which a country can emit carbon. Under carbon trading, a country having more emissions is able to purchase the right to emit more, if required from a country which emits less under specified limits. So it is the greatest opportunity for Indian economy to reduce carbon emission and hence could be represented as biggest carbon credit producers globally. Among all developed nations of the world carbon emission in India is very low. The paper shall discuss about basic concepts related to carbon credit which is being used as a key to save environment and study various business opportunities for developing as well as developed nation and also emphasized on various practices being adopted globally to reduce the GHG emissions. So by this way we try to maintain the carbon emissions balance globally.

Speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) by state feedback controller is proposed in this paper. This state feedback control system uses model predictive approach (MPAC) to constraints introduction in the control system. The posteriori constraints introduction in developed linear control system gives simple solution. This approach based on adding constraints to maintain state and control variables in specified ranges. This MPAC algorithm is relatively low computations compared to model predictive control (MPC). Based on voltage equation model of machine, the control signals and future state variables are calculated and this algorithm consists of zero d-axis current methodology. The state feedback control strategy results low dynamical performance, in order to increase the dynamical performance a new control strategy fuzzy PI control is used. By using this fuzzy PI controller with permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), the steady state error of actual speed of system with respect to step changes of reference signal is reduced compared to state feedback controller. Simulation results of both control strategies are compared in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

Recently, outsourcing data to cloud is become more attractive way. Due to lower cost of cloud storage one can store and manage their large amount of data. Cloud provides different services over stored data such as, proper management of data, searching, sharing of data etc. Many times while outsourcing the data it happens that same copy of the data is available in cloud server, which tends to data duplication and wastage of disk space of server. Also network bandwidth is required to upload same kind of data i.e. duplicate file. Saving duplicate files to cloud is an inefficient task. Deduplication of data is one of the most recent techniques in cloud storage to remove duplicate copies from cloud server and maintain its storage space. With data deduplication many organizations, companies get benefits to save their money while storing data in cloud. Deduplication avoids duplication of data caused by both privileged and non-privileged users. Another major problem is security challenges in outsourcing of data to cloud such as, revealing of original data, unauthorised access to cloud data etc. During integrity auditing, CSP quietly hides some data loss facts from client to maintain their status. Hence user cannot get original copy of data from trusted cloud also. Data deduplication and failure reparation to the cloud storage is difficult. Regenerating codes technique gets more popularity due their lower repair bandwidth and it provides fault tolerance. Erasure code is new technique for regenerating code to achieve reception efficiency i.e. recovery of data. In this research idea is to achieve both data integrity and deduplication in cloud which uploads customer’s data in encrypted form and allows for integrity auditing and secure deduplication directly on encrypted data by implementing new strategy of regenerating code i.e. “erasure coding”.

In Multiple cells upsets (MCUs)is an important issue in the reliability of memories exposed to radiation environment transient. There are number of technique available to protect the memory data from radiations and transient. However, protection from a limited variation of radiations is provided by particular packaging. Nowadays in the field of wireless communication for the number of application the devices are exposed to a very wide range of environment radiations. So for authenticating the data before it is processed several additional data preservation techniques are always preferred. Error correction codes (ECCs) are one of the common techniques for encoded data and that encoded data is to be stored in memories. An error correction code is always preferred for implementation because that requires minimized delay overhead in data correction and a less number of redundant bits to be stored. In this paper the implementation is based on FPGA for memory data error detection and correction code that involves simple decimal addition algorithm in the encoding of data that is to be stored in memory. Hamming Code is preferred for decoding of the data for error detection and correction. This technique used a divide-symbol concept to represent the linear data in groups to make symbolic code and the length of the symbol is inversely proportional to the delay overhead of the code.
