Traditional skin segmentation is based on skin probability maps and guassian mixture models to capture skin tones under different conditions . A good skin detector is important for human-machine interaction applications. The greatest challenge in the traditional skin segmentation is false positive rate and overlapping of skin pixels and non- skin pixels. This paper presents a novel skin feature learning algorithm based on Stacked Auto Encoders(SAEs). Instead of predicting each pixels individually, we utilize block of pixels for skin segmentation to avoid overlapping of skin pixels and non-skin pixels. The algorithm exploits the learning ability of deep neural networks to learn high-level representations of skin tones.

A large portion of modern infrastructure involves the construction of irregular shapes of structures. In the design of bridges this is a considerable problem to provide substructure irregularity in the structure. In this report we are using Csi Bridge 2016 for performing non-linear pushover seismic analysis of substructure irregularity with solid and hollow pier sections. We perform design of the structure and their numerical analysis where we get shear and displacement values for different aspect ratio. The results obtained from the analysis shows that the vernability of the structure due to base shear goes on increasing as increasing the substructure irregularity for both solid and hollow pier section. As the substructure irregularity increased there will be a decrement in displacement capacity of the bridge structure for both solid and hollow pier section. Therefore we can say that the performance of hollow pier sections are much better than the solid pier section in case of substructure irregularity and could be a better option as compare to solid piers.

Metal polishing is an extremely ancient technology that has long been used to make beautiful objects art as well as utilitarian objects. However, within the context of modern microelectronics it is a much more narrowly defined technology that is invariably used to fabricate "damascene" structures. The origin of this terminology is obscure, however for integrated circuit fabrication damascene means microscopic, inlaid metal features that serve as "wiring" to connect individual electronic components, e.g., transistors, previously formed in an underlying semiconductor substrate (usually a single crystal silicon wafer). Of course, the overall objective is fabrication of functional devices such as microprocessors or memories. Naturally, to serve this purpose metal wiring must be inlaid in some insulating material (typically silica based glass) with appropriate provision made for interconnections between wires and the substrate and between the wires themselves.

Concrete is made up of cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregate, water and admixtures if necessary. Aggregate is one of the main ingredients in producing concrete covering up to 75% of total concrete mix. High cost is the dominating factor of conventional construction material which is affecting the housing system. Thus to overcome this drawback, it is necessary to make research on an alternative material which reduces the cost. Thus waste coconut shell may be used to replace conventional coarse aggregate. Coconut shell which is abundantly available as agricultural waste from coconut industries poses a serious disposal problem. Hence using these coconut shells will have the double advantage of reduction in the cost of construction material and also as a means of disposal of wastes. Experimental investigation were carried out by preparing concrete blocks of 150mm*150mm*150mm and compressive strength tests were conducted on these blocks by replacing coarse aggregates in concrete mixes by 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% with coconut shells. From the experimental investigation it was found that coconut shells can be used as an alternative in concrete mixes by adjusting the water cement ratio and admixture contents of the mix.

Composite materials are widely used in different areas such as aircraft, naval and automobiles. Main motive behind that is the distinctive property of weight reduction, which is important for greater speeds, improved payloads and efficient fuel consumption. Various damages like cracks or delaminating are inevitable during service period. They may be due to impact load, chemical decay or change in temperature or pressure conditions. It has been experimentally proved that confined damage in a structure causes the reduction in local structural stiffness, resulting in deviations in dynamic performance of the structure. Additional resonance or crack proliferation induce large displacements resulting in the failure of the structure. In this study, efforts have been made to determine the natural frequency of vibration of composite plate in different boundary conditions and the multiple parameters of crack have been varied and the results have been established. The tests on composite plate is done experimentally to find natural frequency using FFT analyzer and the results are validated using ANSYS. The work is done with varying crack parameters like depth, length and orientation. The frequency decreases with increase in crack dimensions and decreases with increasing orientations. For different boundary conditions, frequency increases with decreasing degrees of freedom. This will help in designing structures resistant to earthquakes and other disasters, given that the resonance frequency is known earlier. It will help in building a safe structure and will prolong its life for many years.
