Video streaming over wireless (networks) has gained popularity in recent times with the development of heterogeneity networks. The demand and market for video based services is expected to grow substantially in the future. In that network is used for video streaming, the inherent unreliability of frequently results in corrupted video packets and jitter during video playback. Such an aberration is especially pronounced in wireless networks due to the fading and multipath interference impediments in wireless channels. Protocol based video transmission provides reliability at the cost of severely increased delay arising from frequent retransmissions in case of packet error over wireless links and constraints from session and application layers for in-sequence delivery. These delays are substantially worsened in low SNR (signal-to-noise power ratio) wireless environments. Multiple Protocol connections, which efficiently utilize the bandwidth of the wireless channel, have been demonstrated to yield significantly improved quality of video streaming over wireless channels while enhancing the reliability of video delivery compared to protocols. In this paper we propose new scalable hierarchical adaptive bitrate video coding over heterogeneity network for reliable video transmission over wireless channels while reducing the delay and jitter of video streaming.

As a human being, we have always considered ourselves as the most intelligent, innovative and superior- most creature on earth and since history immortal, have at all times, claimed our supremacy over all other creatures on planet earth. However, Charles Darwin – father of the evolution theory, differed from the general perception, by saying- perhaps rightly so- ‘Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal’. This clearly indicates Darwin’s belief and trust on the caliber of the animals too. Let us therefore, try to testify Darwin’s perception as well as his faith on the caliber and scientific advancements in the field of the habitats of non- human creatures i.e. the animals, birds, insects and aquatic animals etc. This study is important to architects as they are responsible for the creation of manmade built- spaces and structures, which so far have been based on their own perception, while many built spaces and structures created by non human beings are far-far superior to our own; thereby providing us a golden opportunity to improvise our understanding of built- spaces through the study of the creations of these ‘substandard creatures’.

VLSI digital design, the signal delay propagation, power dissipation, and area of circuits are strongly related to the number of transistors (switches). Hence, transistor arrangement optimization is of special interest when designing standard cell libraries and custom gates. Switch based technologies, such as CMOS, FinFET, and carbon nanotubes, can take advantage of such an improvement. Transistor network optimization represents an effective way of improving VLSI circuits. This paper proposes a novel method to automatically generate networks with minimal transistor count, starting from an irredundant sum-of-products expression as the input. The method is able to deliver series–parallel (SP) and non-SP switch arrangements, improving speed, power dissipation, and area of CMOS gates.

The concepts of structural control including both passive and active control systems, have been growing in acceptance and may preclude the necessity of allowing for inelastic deformations in the structural system. A compromise between passive and active control systems has been developed recently in the form of semi-active control systems. Semi-active control systems maintain the reliability of passive control systems while taking advantage of the adjustable parameter characteristics of an active control system. In this experimentation, the designed and fabrication of semi-active particle-based damping system and we measure the particle impact damping for simply supported beam in which a dry magnetic particle bed is used to dissipate the energy of a vibrating piston. The system is magnetized by a magnetic field generated by an electromagnetic coil. Hysteresis-free, ferromagnetic materials are selected for both the piston and particles. The damping efficiency increases as the magnetization of the piston and particles increases up to saturation. Semi-active control is achieved by varying the electric current supplied to the coil. The performance of semi active particle based damping will be compared with conventional damper. It is expected to minimize the vibration and to study the performance parameters.

In today’s world security become one of the important constraints in every research field. By increasing use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in various critical applications security of wireless networks is becoming more important day by day. Today almost every important area makes use of wireless sensor networks. As Wireless Sensor Network is infrastructure-less network; data moves explicitly from one node to another thus captured easily by attackers. To avoid data from being stolen security mechanism has to be functional. Many protocols are available for providing security on a wireless network. By performing a detailed study of different security mechanisms used in sensor network against some criteria such as nature of the algorithm, working, its benefits and some of the disadvantages of mechanism and also compare them. Some schemes use elliptic curve cryptography for better security but require sensors with strict resource constraint to perform computationally luxurious scalar-point multiplications; despite the increased computational requirements, these schemes do not provide user anonymity. The proposed work implements that salted hash based algorithm as a security concentrated work.

Aiming at achieving both data integrity and deduplication in cloud, we propose SecCloud and an auditing entity with maintenance of a MapReduce cloud, which helps clients generate data tags before uploading as well as audit the integrity of data having been stored in cloud. In addition, SecCoud enables secure deduplication through introducing a Proof of Ownership protocol and preventing the leakage of side channel information in data deduplication. Compared with previous work, the computation by user in SecCloud is greatly reduced during the file uploading and auditing phases. is an advanced construction motivated by the fact that customers always want to encrypt their data before uploading, and allows for integrity auditing and secure deduplication directly on encrypted data. As the cloud computing technology develops during the last decade, outsourcing data to cloud service for storage becomes an attractive trend, which benefits in sparing efforts on heavy data maintenance and management. Nevertheless, since the outsourced cloud storage is not fully trustworthy, it raises security concerns on how to realize data deduplication in cloud while achieving integrity auditing. In this work, we study the problem of integrity auditing and secure deduplication on cloud data. Specifically, aiming at achieving both data integrity and deduplication in cloud, we propose two secure systems, namely SecCloud and SecCloud .SecCloud introduces an auditing entity with a maintenance of a MapReduce cloud, which helps clients generate data tags before uploading as well as audit the integrity of data having been stored in cloud. Compared with previous work, the computation by user in SecCloud is greatly reduced during the file uploading and auditing phases. SecCloud is designed motivated by the fact that customers always want to encrypt their data before uploading, and enables integrity auditing and secure deduplication on encrypted data.

The combination valves are extensively used in hydro power plants to protect the penstock pipe during filling or emptying process. The project consists of design, development & validation of Air release valve/ Anti vacuum valves for pressure rating PN40 and for a size of 80mm valve. During initial filling of penstock, the water which flows into the empty penstock, displaces the air & pushes it to be higher elevation. If the air at this location is not removed from Penstock the flowing water compress the air to such an extent that penstock pipe may burst. Similarly during emptying of penstock pipe, the penstock pipe has to be filled with air at a rate equal to emptying rate. In the absence of air supply, vacuum is created & the penstock pipe collapses. Hence all Hydro power plants irrespective of the power generating capacity is compulsorily required to use this device to protect penstock pipe. The present research focuses on three main factors: 1) Effect of loads acting on pressure release valve, 2) Linear static analysis and bilinear analysis will be carried by applying boundary conditions using ANSYS software. The linear static analysis is carried out to know the structure is safe at certain value of pressure acting on valve.

Wireless sensor networks are one of the most exciting then challenging research domains of our time. They have a great potential to be deployed now wide mission-critical applications, such as military monitoring, health care as well as civilian applications. The highly sensitive nature of gathered information makes security in these special networks a crucial concern. Owed to the hostile nature of their deployment environments, the wireless medium and the constrained nature of resources on the diminutive sensor devices used in such networks, security poses more severe challenges compared to the traditional networks. As per attacks to any part of the hardware or software may give significant damages to these networks. Actually, the development of effective and efficient defense mechanisms to those attacks must be addressed at every stage of the system design. We propose Rumor Riding (RR), a lightweight and non-path-based mutual anonymity protocol for decentralized P2P systems. Employing a random walk mechanism, RR proceeds advantage of lower overhead by mainly using the symmetric cryptographic algorithm. The proposed protocols security, simplicity, and speed make it ideal for a wide range of real-world applications now which secure password authentication is required.
