Self Compacting Concrete
-Ayush ; Nitu Balhara
Self-compacting concrete is a highly flow able form of concrete that spreads into the form without the necessity for mechanical vibration. Self-compacting concrete is a non-segregating concrete that is positioned by means of its own weight. The importance of self-compacting concrete is that maintains all concrete’s durability and characteristics, meeting estimated performance requirements. In certain cases the addition of super plasticizers and viscosity modifier are added to the mix, reducing bleeding and segregation. Concrete that separates loses strength and results in honeycombed parts next to the formwork. A well designed Self compacting concrete mix does not separate, it has high deformability and superb stability characteristics. Read More...

-Manish Langhe ; Satyashil Mohite; Amol Moharkar; Shubham Dhumal; C. Srinidhi
Increasing energy demands, depletion of fossil fuels and stringent emission norm surged the scientific community to search for alternate fuels such as biodiesel for diesel engine applications which bridge the gap between demand and energy source for automotive sector. The quench of man’s desire of alternate fuel for current diesel engine and stringent emission norms of internal combustion engine are a challenging task that are brought in deep thought. Bio-fuels like ethanol and bio-diesel being environment friendly, will help us to conform to the stricter emission norms. International experience has demonstrated the advantages of using ethanol and methanol as automotive fuel. Since blends below 10% of ethanol do not present any problem and reduce harmful emission. The gases emitted by petrol and diesel driven vehicles have an adverse effect on the environment and human health. There is universal acceptance of the need for reducing such emissions. Biodiesel is one of the promising substitute source of energy fuel in the transportation sector due to rapid depletion of petroleum reserves on one side and increased energy demand as well as environmental pollution hazards on the other side, metal based additives along with the variations in physio-chemical properties, and its effect on performance and emission aspects.

-Sarthak Bhale ; Dnyaneshwar Misal; Akshay Patil; Suraj Kule; Prof. R. M. Kedar
Keeping vigil on health parameters on a daily basis is a cumbersome task and it needs a lot of efforts and time. Even visiting the doctor on a daily basis is also needed more financial backups. Monitoring of the health parameters is carried by the many systems and gadgets like smart watches, Wearable devices and sensors. These devices and gadgets more oftenly stored these data over the fixed period of time as their primary memory are limited, so they have hardly any scope for prediction of health conditions. So to think behind this point, this paper uses Internet of things through which the data is collected about the patients from sensors at the server end. The Server is equipped with the finest machine learning algorithm like K means clustering and Artificial neural networks to predict the future health conditions of the patients or users. Proposed model uses some parameters like systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body temperature, blood sugar level and pulse rate. Read More...

Wildlife Monitoring, Virtual Fencing with Deforestation Notification
-Suraj DN ; Supreeth SK; Vishnu AR; Vishruth V Sastry; Srinidhi Kulkarni
India has been identified as an ecological blackspot where half of the wildlife is vulnerable to extinction. This is caused due to the destruction of forest areas for farming, logging and construction of new cities and towns. This is forcing the animals to move out of their habitat and into human establishments, which is causing problems to both animals and humans. Recent advancements in sensor technology has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the natural and man-made environment by providing fine grained spatio-temporal data (moving object databases and real time locating system). Physical barriers cause physical damage to animals which can sometimes lead to death of the very animals we are trying to protect. This can be prevented by using virtual fencing which is a lifesaving improvement from the existing system. This project implements a sensor network, designed to track the location of the animals in sanctuaries and national park without hurting the animals. Forest fire and deforestation (or any illegal activities in the forest) can also be monitored through this system and it helps us preventing the destruction of wildlife. Read More...

Experimental and Characteristics of High Performance Concrete
-Mr. A. Ramachandran ; Mr. M. Dewakar
Mineral admixtures such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), fly ash and silica fume are commonly used in concrete because they improve durability and reduce porosity as well as improve the interface with the aggregate. The lower cement requirement leads to a reduction for CO2 generated by the production of Portland cement. One among these special concretes is the GGBS concrete which is emerging as one of the new generation construction materials in producing high strength and performance concrete for special structures. Our task is to enhance the strength, durability and reduce the cost than the convention. The use of admixture is not only to increase the durability but also to obtain concrete with desired characteristics such as high compressive strength, high workability and high performance concrete al concrete .The experimental work is carried out to investigate the optimum percentage of GGBS to replace cement effectively. An attempt is made to replace cement with GGBS with an interval of 0,25% ,50% and silica fume by constant proportion for minimum grade concrete i.e., M30 and is tested for fresh and hardened properties to identify the optimum percentage of GGBS.

Secure Key Storage using Encrypted Negative Password
-Ms. V. Varalakshmi
secure password storage is very much important thing for the systems which are based on password authentication. Because of the simplicity and efficiency it has been widely used. In ourframework, first, the received plain password from a client is hashed through a cryptographic hash function (e.g., SHA-256).Then, the hashed password is converted into a negative password.Finally, the negative password is encrypted into an encrypted negative Password (abbreviated as ENP) using a symmetric-key algorithm (e.g., AES), and multi iteration encryption could be employed to further improve security. The algorithm complexity analyses and comparisons show that the ENP could resist lookup table attack and provide stronger password protection under dictionary attack. It is worthmentioning that the ENP does not introduce extra elements (e.g., salt). Besides this, the ENP could still resist precomputation attacks. Most importantly, the ENP is the first password protection scheme that combines the cryptographic hash function, the negative password and the symmetric-key algorithm, without the need for additional information except the plain password.

-Abhishek G. Ghumare ; Gauri S. Bhand; Suresh D. Chavhan; Ankita A. Lolge
Emerging rapid urbanization in India, industrial growth and failure of implementation of basic fire safety laws. The foremost menace for industries now is ignition and fire hazards. Water is incompatible with classes of fire. After the implementation residue is left by water while extinguishing fire. Water is not compatible with electric type class E fires as well as water cannot be used in environment where fragile electric appliances are involved Thus there is demand for new extinguishers and new extinguishers are developed each day .The type of fire extinguisher termed as clean agents as per the national fire protection association are proving to be more efficient and exhibit more compatibility with all the classes of fire. These new agents exhibit much more effectiveness and are capable of extinguishing fire in initial stages with very less concentration of clean agents in comparison to water. Halons showed more compatibility with the different classes of fire and were the successful fire extinguisher but as it had high Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP), halons were banned due to its adverse effect on environment. Research on various halon replacement is going on but ideal replacement on halon is not found yet. So there is need of comparing the various fire extinguisher available in the market on the basis of their compatibility on all classes of fire and as well as factors such as global warming potential ,ozone depletion potential and their effect on human health.

IoT based Environmental Impact Analysis System
-Neha S ; Amrutha N R; Chandana E P; Neha Singhal
The typical method for monitoring the water and air quality was a time-consuming process and required a lot of man power; it was a complex procedure to install the monitoring stations along the networks with a heavy budget along with the maintenance cost. Also getting the accurate value of the tested water by sitting water quality monitoring stations and labs using WIQ is highly impossible whereas the developed model can fetch precisely accurate values. The IoT model will be deployed in the water bodies once for a lifetime until the external factors act and destroy the model. The use of different sensors along with the microcontroller is made to detect the pollution and the toxicant nature of the environment; it also helps with flood detection by sending an alert message to the user devices when there are greater differences in the water level. The data analysed by the model will be sent to the Amazon cloud which can be viewed in real-time on user devices such as laptops or phones. Based on the appreciation of these sensors, we determine the air and water standards and whether water can be used for agricultural, industrial, societal or any other purpose. Read More...

Assessment of Determinants of Alcoholism among Youths Aged 19-35 Years in Ruiru Sub-County, Kiambu County, Kenya
-Mary Mumbi Kaganjo ; Dr. Esther Ndonga; Joseph Muchiri
Alcohol in Africa is mainly reserved for ceremonial occasions. Over the last few decades, alcohol in Kenya has become prevalent beverage, mainly due to expansion of breweries across the country. Alcohol dependence among youths has been alarming in Kenya where it cripples both the health of an individual and society as whole. It was estimated that about 1.2% of the Kenyans were binge drinkers while majority were youths who are below 35 years comprising 80% of the Kenya’s population where the same age group is either in college or in workforce. In Ruiru Sub-county alcohol dependence and alcohol abuse has been increasing leading to economic instability. Lack of knowledge on the consequences of alcohol, false beliefs that alcohol facilitates social need, violating laws and regulations for proper social life, family habits among others may be the root cause of being alcohol dependence among young adults. The need to socialize, to have fun and belong to social peer group were the reasons why youths involves themselves in alcohol drinking behaviors. Alcohol-attributable deaths worldwide claims 3.3 million people every year where 25% of those deaths occur in youths aged 20-39 years. Since there was no current data on alcohol dependence of the youths aged 19-35 years, the study therefore intends to assess whether there is an association between socio-economic factors and the risk of being alcohol dependence, whether the youths have knowledge on impacts of excessive drinking, youths attitudes towards their drinking behavior, risk perceptions on why they drink alcohol, the number of alcohol-attributable deaths and hospitalization in Ruiru sub-County, Kiambu County, Kenya. The study was a cross-sectional study involving both quantitative and qualitative surveys. A pilot study was conducted and regular meetings with the research leader and research assistants to check out the validity and reliability of data collection instruments. 320 respondents who positively answered at least 3-5 drinking problems of both genders and 32 key informants were interviewed. Self-administered structured questionnaires with the youths, face to face interviews with key informants and focus group discussions respectively was used to collect data. (SPSS) version 24 which yielded frequency tables, percentages, charts and Chi Square Test was used to analyze data. The study results revealed that there was an association between socio-economic factors and youths being alcohol dependence. Youths sometimes worry about their drinking habits and were aware that different alcohols vary in strength, excessive use of alcohol can lead to unhealthy effects, amount they consume can be addictive and their drinking habits is negatively affecting others. Their friends plays major role in influencing them to drink alcohol while in most instances they drink with them to socialize, have fun and reduce stress. No alcohol-attributable deaths recorded while the outpatients were 126 due alcohol related illnesses from January to June 2018 in Ruiru Sub-County level 4 hospital. The study recommends that measures and policies to regulate prices of alcoholic drinks in retail outlets should be initiated by the authorities and introduce health promotion programs for youths. Youths should adopt good habits that reflects what they want to be in future and be encouraged to involve themselves in recreation activities. Other stakeholders should take part in promoting public health programs while local government and community should form supporting networks through mobilization. Read More...

Stability and Control of Quadcopter
-Avali Banerjee ; Tanusri Roy; Titas Ghosh; Stuti Ghosh; Srijoni Malakar
This project presents a systematic approach towards the stability analysis and control of a real dynamic system. A very interesting mechatronics platform, namely, quadrotor helicopter, which is a highly nonlinear and cross-coupled dynamic system and poses challenges for many classical control techniques, has been considered as a candidate system to illustrate the proposed control law. A novel methodology has been presented to analyze the stability of the nonlinear system by using Lyapunov- Krasovskii method and stabilize the system by implementing the control law. Lyapunov-Krasovskii method for analyzing the stability offers distinct advantages over other control methods. PD and PID control law have been implemented to stabilize the system and produce satisfactory results. Therefore, PD and PID controller can make quadcopter approaching the stationary state.

Deep Learning and Neural Network Based Gesture Recognition for Paralytic Patients
-Siddhant Jain ; Shubham Gera; Varun Goel
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a data handling worldview that is motivated by the way organic sensory systems, for example, the cerebrum, process data. The crucial element of this network is the novel structure of the data handling framework. It is made out of an expansive number of extremely interconnected processing components (neurons) working as one to tackle explicit issues. ANNs, similar to individuals, learn by precedent. An ANN is designed for a particular application, for example, pattern recognition or data characterization, through a learning procedure. Learning in natural frameworks includes changes in accordance with the conjunction associations that exist between the neurons. This is valid for ANNs also. This paper gives an overview of Artificial Neural Networks, working and preparing of ANN just as how an ANN can be utilized to the undertaking of hand gesture recognition explicitly for incapacitated and distinctively-able individuals.
