Existing conventional modes of transportation of people consists of four unique types: rail, road, water, and air. These modes of transport tend to be either relatively slow (i.e., road and water), expensive (i.e., air), or a combination of relatively slow and expensive (i.e., rail). Hyperloop is a new mode of transport that seeks to change paradigm by being both fast and inexpensive for people and goods. Hyperloop is also unique in that it is an open design concept, similar to Linux. Feedback is desired from the community that can help advance the Hyperloop design and bring it from concept to reality. In this study, the initial route, preliminary design, and logistics of the Hyperloop transportation system have been derived. The system consists of capsules that travel between Los Angeles, California and San Francisco, California. The total trip time is approximately half an hour, with capsules departing as often as every 30 seconds from each terminal and carrying 28 people each. This gives a total of 7.4 million people each way that can be transported each year on Hyperloop. The total cost of Hyperloop in this analysis is under $6 billion USD. Amortizing this capital cost over 20 years and adding daily operational costs gives a total of about $20 USD (in current year dollars) plus operating costs per one-way ticket on the passenger Hyperloop.

In both developed and developing countries, the construction industry is considered to be one of the most significant industries in terms of its impact on health and safety of the working population. Construction industry is both economically and socially important. However, the construction industry is also recognized to be the most hazardous. The Objectives of this research are to investigate the safety performance in the construction sites. The study will be conducted in construction sites in Nashik city through method of questionnaire survey, interview and discussion. The data were collected from the contractors and owners by using questionnaire to evaluate the safety performance in the construction sites. In total, 25 companies were considered for data collection. The results show that there was still a lack of commitment from the top management, the insurance company, the labour ministry, the owners, and also the contractors to improving safety performance on the construction sites. The suggestion is to improve the safety performance on the construction sites. The government should follow up the safety performance by visiting the construction sites. The insurance company should be more active in visiting the construction sites. The owners should be more active towards the safety by controlling, visiting the process in the construction sites. The contractors have to train the workers and promote the safety culture and follow up the safety performance. The consultants should control all the tools in the construction sites to insure that those tools are safe.

Many customer power devices have been proposed to mitigate such voltage sags for sensitive loads. The most studied voltage regulator topologies can generally categorized into two groups: the inverter-based regulator and direct ac–ac converters. Series-connected devices (SD) are voltage-source inverter-based regulators and an SD compensate for voltage sags by injecting a missing voltage in series with the grid. There are lots of SD topologies, and key features related to the evaluation of a certain SD topology are the cost, complexity, and compensation ability. Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a commonly used SD and has been widely studied. Different types of DVRs are discussed. Four typical DVR system topologies are investigated and experimentally compared. The overall evaluation has shown that DVR with no storage and load-side-connected shunt converter ranks the highest as it can compensate for long-duration deep sags at a relatively low complexity and cost.

Brain tumor often recognized to be a generation of abnormal cells within brain. Brain tumor needs to be diagnosed accurately for the proper decision making about the disease occurrence, so that appropriate treatment on time can be provided to the patients. However analyzing and diagnosing the brain tumor from the imbalanced data set would be more difficult process which needs to handled very carefully for the accurate brain tumor diagnosis. Physiological data of patients are the primary and vital entities in healthcare big data analytic. Hence, valid raw data must be collected with an efficient manner in a medical environment. In the existing research work, Integrated feature Selection and Ensemble Classification (IFSEC) is introduced which attempts to accurately predict the brain tumor disease. However, handling large volume of data in the single machine would lead to inaccurate and wrong diagnosis of brain tumor disease which needs to be handled with more concern for the accurate output. This is resolved in the proposed research method by introducing novel method namely Accurate Prediction of Brain Tumor Disease from Big Data Framework (APBTD-BDF). To make ease of large volume of data handling process, in the proposed research work, content aware partitioning is introduced which attempts to divide the health care big data into multiple partitions which can be scheduled on different machines for the classification purpose. To improve the classification accuracy in this research low variance filtering approach is introduced for the selection of the more important features. Classification is done by using Kernel Support Vector Machine (KSVM) approach whose performance is tested based 10 fold cross validation technique. The overall research method is implemented in the MATLAB simulation environment from which it can be proved that the proposed research method can effectively handle the large volume of data and it can predict the brain tumor disease more accurately.

The low cost cameras usually capture the low contrast color images which are differ than the brightness of the original scene. This is because of non-uniform scene illumination, blur due to long shutter time of low cost cameras, and may be due to occlusion or shadows. Therefore many contrast enhancement methods for true color image enhancement are designed in past. In this paper a new methodology for image enhancement is proposed by combining the contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) method with the DC coefficient scaling method. As an additional modification instead of conventional Y-Cb-Cr color space, it is proposed to use LAB color space. The performance of CLAHE method and DC coefficient scaling method are compared with proposed enhancement method in DCT domain for color contrast enhancement. The contrast is enhanced only for L component and preserving the color chrominance information. This improves the contrast and entropy, and reduces the effect of color shifting in standard methods. The absolute standard deviation difference and entropy is used for performance evaluation parameters. The methods are evaluated under different true color imaging environments.
