Today is the era of internet each task is performed using web-application so; it is required to provide security to the applications which are vulnerable to such type of attacks. According to the ponemon institute SQL Injection is used to: “Attack data-driven applications: in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (example: to dump the database contents to the attacker). SQL Injections exploits security vulnerabilities in applications softwares. SQL Injection is most commonly known as an attack vector through public facing websites, but can be used to attack SQL databases in a variety of ways.” The fact that SQL Injection attacks were discovered more than15 years ago by Jeff Forristal and are still successful. Other vulnerable software applications eventually are fixed, but not SQL. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) offers this explanation: “SQL Injection attacks are unfortunately very common, and this is due to two factors: the prevalence of SQL Injection vulnerabilities and the attractiveness of the target (databases containing the interesting/critical data for the application)”. The rest of the paper structured as follows: Section 1 Introduction section 2 describes SQL Injection and the classification of SQL Injection attacks. Section 3 is related to prevention mechanism.

In countries like India we generally can find a mixed traffic i.e. a traffic flow constituting of all type of vehicles like cycle, rickshaw, car, bus etc. In Indian cities the share of non-motorized vehicles at peak hours is too high. In every public transport, mode of transport involves access trips by non-motorised vehicles at each end. Non-motorised vehicles provide door to door service in congested parts of cities. Thus, non-motorized mode of traffic plays a very important role in meeting travel demand in countries like India. To design a traffic facility it is necessary to understand the behavior of traffic stream. Understanding the behavior of a traffic stream with mixed traffic is quite complex. In this work an attempt has been made to study the effect of non-motorized vehicle on mixed traffic movement. Traffic volume data was collected from Majri Crossing and Zirakur-Patiala Crossing for 30 minutes. This data was then analysed with the help of fundamental diagrams. It was seen that with increase in percentage of non-motorised vehicles the flow, density and speed are adversely affected. Density decreases at a particular flow rate when percentage of non-motorised vehicles increases. It was seen that with increase non-motorised vehicles adversely affects the capacity of the road. Along with this, a study on pattern of vehicular occupancy of non-motorised vehicles and motorised vehicles was done.

Underwater environments generally cause color cast or color scatter while photography. Color scatter is due to haze effects appearing when light reflected from thing which absorbed or may be scattered several times by particles of water. This cause lowers the visibility and less contrast of the image. Color cast is due to the varying attenuation of light in various wavelengths, and this is cause underwater environments bluish. To mention distortion from color scatter and color cast, this paper proposes a method to reconstruct underwater images that which is a combination of a wavelength compensation and de-hazing algorithm (IDWC). One has to determine the distance between the objects and the camera using dark channel prior, then haze effects cause by color scatter can be removed by the de-hazing algorithm. Next, one has to estimation the photography scene depth using residual energy ratios for each. According to the attenuation of every wavelength, reverse compensation conducted to restore all distortion from color cast.

In computer graphics, image interpolation is the process of resizing a digital image. Interpolation is a non-trivial process that involves enhancement in sense of efficiency, smoothness and sharpness. With bitmap graphics, as the size of an image is enlarged, the pixels that form the image become increasingly visible, making the image appear "soft" if pixels are averaged, or jagged if not. Image interpolation methods however, often suffer from high computational costs and unnatural texture interpolation. This work intends to give an overview of image Interpolation, its uses & techniques. The paper work is an implementation of Image interpolation of images.

The main goals in developing the next generation of wireless communication systems are for delivering multimedia services such as voice, data and image in local coverage networks. These will be a complement to the existing wide area coverage systems, for example to the third generation of mobile communications. In order to provide these services, a high data rate and high quality digital communication system is required in a restricted bandwidth. A major limiting factor is, however, the multipath propagation phenomenon. It causes frequency-selective fading due to different echoes of transmitted symbols overlapping at the receiving end, which can lead to the bit-error-rate (BER) degradation. One way to effectively combat the multipath channel impairments and still provide high-data rates in a limited bandwidth is use of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation method and multiple antennas at the transmitting end. OFDM is an attractive multi-carrier modulation (MCM) technique because of its high spectral efficiency and simple single-tap equalizer structure, as it splits the entire bandwidth into a number of overlapping narrow band sub channels requiring lower symbol rates. Furthermore, the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter carrier interference (ICI) can be easily eliminated by inserting a cyclic prefix (CP) in front of each transmitted OFDM block. OFDM can be implemented using a coherent or non-coherent detection technique. A coherent detection method generally provides the SNR gain over the non-coherent method as the former modulation technique uses channel state information. This implies, however, a more complex receiver as the channel state information is generally obtained using channel estimation.

Incoloy-800 is a nickel-chromium alloy that is best known for its ability to maintain a stable structure during prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Incoloy-800 possesses more than the strength to withstand the basic stress caused by heat, though. It has high levels of resistance to oxidation and carbonization, making it one of the most effective materials for use in carbonizing equipment and heating element sheathing. Ni-Cr-Fe alloy that resists high temperature oxidation. This alloy is a first choice for an upgrade from the 300 series stainless steels when improved performance or strength at temperature is required. It is an iron based super alloy for steam generators and its chemical composition is: - Ni=30-35% - Cr=19-23% - S=0.015% - Al=0.15-0.6% - Ti=0.15-0.6% - Cu=0.75% - C=0.1%max. - Si=1% - Mn=1.5% - Fe=balance The chromium in the alloy imparts resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The high percentage of nickel maintains an austenitic structure so that the alloy is ductile. The nickel content also contributes resistance to scaling, general corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking. The iron content provides resistance to internal oxidation. Our present study aims to find out the manufacturing process of the Incoloy-800. The Incoloy-800 tubes are manufactured in the Nuclear Fuel Complex, by the extrusion process. Initially the powders of the alloy are mixed to proper composition and then compacted at high pressure. The compacted components are heated in the Electric Arc Furnace to prepare the Billets. The Billets are extruded to form tubes and then it undergoes pillgaring to decrease the thickness of the tube wall and increase the length. The samples are taken from the billet, from the tube after extrusion and from the tube after final pillgaring. From the obtained samples the properties of the Incoloy-800 alloy is analyzed before extrusion, after extrusion and after final pillgaring. In the microstructure of the incoly-800 becomes finer as it undergoes pillgaring and mechanical properties of the Incoloy-800 alloy changes with microstructure.

Energy consumption is an essential concern to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).The major cause of the energy consumption in WSNs is due to the data aggregation. A data aggregation is a process of collecting data from sensor nodes and transmitting these data to the sink node or base station. An effective way to perform such a task is accomplished by using clustering. In clustering, nodes are grouped into clusters where a number of nodes, called cluster heads, are responsible for gathering data from other nodes, aggregate them and transmit them to the Base Station (BS). In this paper we produce a new algorithm which focused on reducing the transmission path between sensor nodes and cluster heads. A proper utilization and reserving of the available power resources is achieved with this technique compared to the well-known LEACH_C algorithm.

In this digital era of computer and technology, we are still lacking behind when it comes to government offices documentation work and processes. In order to get nay work done which involves our national government, there is a long procedure and unnecessary queues. Moreover, its harsh reality that government official takes more than instructed time to accomplish any work related to public. It’s difficult for senior citizens to be present every time and wait in long queue Worst case scenario is that sometimes after submitting al the required documents, they inform us that they have misplaced or not received any one of the document. In this case even though we have submitted we do not have any option rather than resubmitting again so that our process is completed. This is too tedious and time consuming. Thus to avoid all this document loss and steady up the current procedure we have come up with a digital solution that guarantees reliability, no document loss and safety along with fast processing and thus not only helping working citizens but also senior citizens from standing in long queue.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) the sampling rate of the sensors determines the pace of its energy use since most of the energy is used in sampling and transmission. In wireless sensor network (WSN) there are two main problems in employing conventional compression techniques. Recent advances in technologies have increased the use of wireless sensor networks in different applications like chemical and physical monitoring, healthcare, tracking and soon. The compression performance depends on the organization of the routes for a larger extent. The efficiency of an in-network data compression scheme is not solely determined by the compression ratio, but also depends on the computational and communication overheads. Propose a sparser analysis that depends on modified diffusion wavelets, which exploit sensor readings' spatial correlation in WSNs. In particular, a novel data-gathering scheme with combine routing and CS is presented. A modified ant colony algorithm-based diffusion wavelets (ACBDW), where next hop node selection takes a node’s residual energy and path length into consideration simultaneously. The simulation results, show that our proposed technique improves the delivery ratio while reducing the energy and delay.

In this present research work, waste cooking oil biodiesel combined with diesel fuel blends were used as alternative fuels for diesel engines. The six different types of blends namely B5, B10, B15, B20, B25 and B30 were prepared. The optimization of production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil from transesterification process was evaluated on varying the various parameters such as reaction time, KOH concentration and molar ratio. An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the performance and emission characteristics of a cooking oil biodiesel blends at various compression ratios like 12, 14 and 16 on a compression ignition engine and important fuel properties were determined. The performance parameters analyzed include BP (Brake Power), BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel consumption), BTE (Brake Thermal Efficiency) and exhaust gas concentration including oxides of nitrogen, HC and CO. The calorific value of optimized waste cooking oil biodiesel was lower than diesel fuel. The flash and fire point of waste cooking oil biodiesel were determined to be 154oC and 160oC respectively which are higher than diesel fuel. The bsfc for all blends decreases as the compression ratio increases and at all compression ratios bsfc remains higher for the higher blends as the biodiesel percent increase. The blends of biodiesel with small content in place of petroleum diesel can help in controlling air pollution and easing the pressure on scarce resources without significantly sacrificing engine power and economy.
