Normally, health examination is an important method which can be used in multiple countries to identify the health records. To identify the risk factors which are warning and prevention in many diseases is important. This is the major challenge to classify this risk factors used in unlabeled data which contains the dataset. Health state condition can changes rapidly from healthy to very-ill. So, unlabeled data contains records of such health examination. There is no specific base for differentiating the state of health process. To identify and classify the risk prediction in unlabeled data multiple algorithms are used and implemented. To propose a graph-based, semi-supervised learning algorithm called SHG Health (Semi-supervised Heterogeneous Graph on Health) is used for risk predictions. So many efficient health learning technique is available to recognize any unlabeled dataset. The algorithms used to predicate the risk factors is based on both real health examination datasets show more effectiveness and efficiency.

The experimental study of resistance spot weld deals between low carbon steel and austenitic CrNi stainless steel. The thickness of the welded dissimilar materials was 2 mm. A Delta Spot welding gun with a process tape was used for welding the dissimilar steels. Resistance spot welds were produced with various welding parameters (welding currents ranging from 7 to 8 kA). Light microscopy, micro hardness measurements across the welded joints were used to evaluate the quality of the resistance spot welds. The results confirm the applicability of Delta Spot welding for this combination of materials. Typically the sheets are in the 0.5 to 3 mm (0.020 to 0.118 in) thickness range. The attractive feature of spot welding is that a lot of energy can be delivered to the spot in a very short time (approximately 10–100 milliseconds). The properties of resistance spot welds of dissimilar steels have been studied and the influence of the welding parameters on the weld metal size has been evaluated.

Solar flat plate collector is a device which rises temperature of a cold water to higher temperature naturally by making use of solar energy. Such operation takes place at zero cost. Even though initial cost is high, FPC system is considered to be zero maintenance. Many researches have done so many experiments and still it is under progress to improve the efficiency of FPC. In this experimentation work, solar pond is integrated with solar flat plate collector (FPC) as a simple mean to improve the efficiency of FPC further. Experiments were conducted in two stages by keeping solar pond before flat plate collector inlet and after flat plate collector outlet. Two types of salts sodium chloride (Nacl) and potassium chloride (Kcl) were used and compared for periodic performance variation. Outlet temperature of conventional flat plate collector is increased to minimum of 37áµ’C and maximum of 58áµ’C. Thus this experimentation results in effective utilization of solar energy and improved flat plate collector (FPC) performance by simple integrations.

All over the world, from day to day the large amount of concrete is being utilized in the construction field of civil engineering. But the worrying thing is that, most of the construction and demolition waste in our country are not recycled and left at industrial site as non-useable materials, which creates pollution to environment. Waste is one of the main challenges to dispose and manage but optional remedy on that is recycling of waste materials. Recycling is the most promising waste management process for disposal of materials. Increase in industrialization and urbanization, the use of buildings also increased which results in continuous usage of construction material leads to scarcity of the concrete materials (such as sand). To overcome these issues many research were done to use many industrial waste as alternative or substantial material for concreting. In this project work, control concrete is casted for M25 and M30 grades and the partial replacement of concrete materials were decided to reuse industrial waste such as Copper Slag as fine aggregate replacement in range of 10%, 20%, 30% by weight of sand and the Ceramic Waste (Tile & Shabath Stone waste) as Coarse Aggregate replacement in 10%, 20%, 25% and 20%, 30%, 35% by weight of coarse aggregate. Totally 180-cubes (90 for M25 & 90 for M30 grades) were casted and tested for Compressive Strength at 7, 14, 28 days curing of concrete and the obtained results are compared with M25 and M30 grades of conventional concrete.

Biomechanics involves modelling and simulation of biological objects using mechanical laws. In humans, biomechanics often refers to the study of how the skeletal and musculature systems work under different conditions. In biomechanics more generally, scientists often try to apply physics and other mathematically based forms of analysis to discover the limits and capabilities of biological systems. The tibia is the major weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. The proximal portion of the bone, the tibial plateau, forms the lower surface of the knee joint. Today, rather than a field that scientists and philosophers dabble in, biomechanics is its own branch of human and biological science, with entire departments in hospitals and universities devoted to the subject's study. The tibial shaft bridges the distance to the distal tibia which grant the superb articular surface of the ankle joint at the tibiotalar articulation as well as the medial malleolus. Another key bony landmark is the tibial tuberosity which sits many centimeters below the joint line and the poorer patellar pole and serves as the attachment site for the patellar tendon. A strong fibrous structure, the interosseous membrane, or syndesmosis, connects the tibia and fibula along the length of the two bones. Proximally, this structure, reinforced by strong anterior and posterior ligaments, makes a synovial joint, the proximal tibiofibular articulation. Distally, the interosseous membrane and three ligaments, the anterior, posterior, and transverse tibiofibular ligaments stabilize the superior ankle joint. The objective of this research work is to perform the Finite element analysis of Tibia bone during the post-surgery period. The analysis will be performed to compare the healthy bone, bone after one month of surgery, bone after two months of surgery. This will be helpful for doctors and surgeons to understand the various aspects of bone strength during the rehabilitation period.

A well-established cold storage has been considered in present work which was used for storage of potatoes, so as to protect them from getting spoiled and to prolong their preservation period. The theoretical analysis has been conducted to evaluate coefficient of performance (COP), relative humidity and power consumption of the above mentioned cold storage. Further, the change in level of refrigerant i.e. NH3 on that cold storage with respect to the change in load has been noticed and reported. All the above analysis was repeated by changing the number of times, the door was opened. Also, the results were reported from no load to full load condition i.e. when the storage is empty to when the storage is half filled. On the basis of theoretical outcome and observe reading of the above mentioned process, it was found that COP and relative humidity decreases with increasing the number of door opening, whereas, power consumption increases with increasing the number of door opening. It has been seen that all the above mentioned trends decreases the overall efficiency of the cold storage. In that respect, corrective action has been suggested in the present work on the basis of theoretical analysis so that, the output of the complete system will enhance without incorporating much changes in the already installed unit.

Our project entitled "GENERATING ELECTRICITY USING TAP WATER". This is being used in households and outdoors for generating electricity of 5V D.C. current which is sufficient to glow an led lamp. It is arranged with an USB port for charging mobile phones. It consists of a D.C. generator whose shaft is connected to the central axis of the turbine. The water from the tap is drawn through a nozzle and concentrated on the turbine blades so that the turbine begins to rotate and thus the electricity is produced. Here we have a 5V battery to store the produced electricity during the flow of water and used when it is required. The inlet water through the nozzle will come out through the outlet at the downward side of the turbine casing. The nozzle is kept at the top of the turbine casing so the water from the tap can be drawn easily. The nozzle used here can be easily attached to any kind of tap in all houses and in outdoors. The minimum amount of pressure required to rotate the turbine is 103 Kpa. The turbine used here is Kaplan Turbine.

Image denoising can be performed by patch matching technique whereas patch-based methods are dependent on patch matching but their performance get degraded due to find sufficient similar patches. In patch matching, as the number of patches grows, performance improvement due to more patches is less because of finding sufficiently close matches. The effect of patch based methods, are better, because they are limited in how well they can do for larger images with increasing complexity. This paper address this disadvantage by developing global filtering where each pixel is estimated from all pixels in the image. Method of image denoising is applied in two fold First, The proposed filter gives statistical analysis, based on spectral decomposition of corresponding operator. Second, to derive an approximation to the spectral (principal) components using the Nystrom extension. This system demonstrates that this global filter can be implemented by sampling a fairly small percentage of the pixels in the image.

Software bugs are the major areas where most of the IT companies spend its 45% of efforts. The most efficient way of reducing bugs in the software is bug triage, which is appropriately assigning the new but to a developer. Automatic Bug triage is conducted by using text classification methods to minimize the manual work. In this paper, the problem of huge data for bug triage is addressed i.e. reducing the amount of data in assigning the bugs to developers. This technique combines feature selection and instance selection for simultaneously minimizing the bug dimension and word dimension. To identify the application order of instance selection and then feature selection, extraction of various attributes from previous bug track record is carried out to build new bug track or dataset. The proposed system tests its performance on the sample dataset of the open source software i.e. Eclipse. The proposed system works on novel data processing techniques to generate small amount of but highly informative bug report data in software maintenance and development.
