    Paper Title: Continuous Wavelet Transform Based Gene Optimized Fuzzy C-Means Clustering For Forest Fire

    Detection

    Abstract: Fire detection is an important aspect of disaster preparedness, to reduce loss of lives and property damage. Conventionally, many techniques have been designed so far, to discover the forest fires through input videos. But, clustering

    performance of conventional fire detection techniques was not sufficient. To overcome the above limitations, Continuous

    Wavelet Transform Based Gene Optimized Fuzzy C-Means Clustering (CWT-GOFCC) technique is proposed. The proposed

    CWT-GOFCC technique takes number of video files from FIRESENSE database as input and converts those input videos

    into a number of frames. Next, it defines the number of clusters and centroids and consequently initializes the gene

    populations with number of video frames. After that, CWT-GOFCC technique evaluates fuzzy membership with the

    assistance of fitness function for all input video frames based on spatial correlation between the fire flame colors. By using

    this fitness function, the technique groups the video frames into pre-fire stage or fire stage or critical fire stage with

    enhanced accuracy. From that, this technique accurately clusters all the video frames into related clusters with lower time

    consumption. The simulation of the technique is conducted using metrics such as fire detection accuracy, fire detection time

    and false positive rate with respect to different numbers of video frames. The simulation result depicts that the technique is

    able to improve the accuracy and also reduce the time of forest fire detection in video file when compared to state-of-the-art

    works.

    Paper Title: Automatic Detection of Glaucoma based on Refined Complete Local Binary Pattern and Random

    Forest Classification Method

    Abstract: Glaucoma is considered to be one of the main root causes of blindness. As it shows no symptoms, if not properly identified at the correct time would result in the loss of vision. This paper proposes a method for the Automatic

    Detection of Glaucoma based on Refined Complete Local Binary Pattern and Random Forest Classification

    Method(RCLBP-RFC), which identifies the presence or the absence of glaucoma in a patient at an early stage. The first step

    is use to convert a color image into gray scale image and the second step we use Neighborhood Fuzzy K Means Clustering to

    segment Optic Disc(OD) and Optic Cup(OC). In the third step Statistical Optimized and Restoration model is use to extract

    the enhanced images using the restoration technique. In the Fourth step we exploit Refined Complete Local Binary Patterns

    Extraction to extract the most relevant features and finally, Random Forest Classification methods are involved to classify

    the features as normal, abnormal or early detected glaucoma. The experiments show that our RCLBP-RFC method achieves

    state-of-the-art OD and OC segmentation result on DRIONS dataset. Experimental results indicates that the proposed

    method identifies the presence or absence of glaucoma more precisely than other existing methods in terms of computational

    time and complexity, and accuracy..

    Keywords: Glaucoma, Random Forest, Neighborhood Fuzzy, Refined Complete Local Binary Pattern, Statistical Optimized.

    Paper Title: Development of an IoT based Air Quality Monitoring System

    Abstract: The proposed work aims for a large-scale air pollutant monitoring for ambient and indoor

    environments. This system is developed to measure various environmental parameters. Sourceof pollutants can

    be identified by analyzing the data collected from the various sensor nodes, so that air quality can be monitored

    by applying engineering science and data. This is achieved by installing multiple sensor stations in various

    locations such as hospitals, factories, Offices, streets and weather stations. These sensor stations measure the

    environmental parameters such as PM2.5, PM10, Sulphate (SOx), Nitrate (NOx), Ozone(O3), Volatile Organic

    Compounds (VOC), Temperature and Humidity. The sensor stations communicate with cloud over HTTP

    protocol. Each station has ESP 8266 smart controller which captures the sensor data and creates forms

    theJavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data packets that mainly consists of sensor data along with node address.

    These packets will be sent to the cloud over HTTP protocol. The user can access the air quality data from the

    web application.

    Paper Title: Visual Information Retrieval for Videos Based On Feature Extraction Using Machine Learning

    Techniques

    Abstract: Information retrieval is one of the important areas of research with highest scope for data mining

    combined with machine learning. The proposed research focus on visual information retrieval by applying

    machine learning techniques. The usage of multimedia data such as text, images, videos are abundantly

    increasing day by day in this smart era. Also the need for information classification and retrieval are getting

    exponential demands to fulfill the research and end user requirements. The tech giants are conducting their

    researches to develop efficient retrieval systems for videos. Video retrieval is considered to be the toughest and

    challenging research in the recent times. Due to large storage space, lengthy play time, multiple sequence of

    Paper Title: MPPT controller based on fuzzy logic for photovoltaic systems with sepic converter

    Abstract: A controller for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) based on fuzzy logic was developed to

    connect the solar panels and three phase grid through an inverter. MPPT controller traces the maximum power

    and then feeds this power to the three phase grid irrespective of the changes in solar irradiations. The input and

    output variables for the fuzzy logic controller were selected in order to vary the inverter firing angle to track the

    maximum power from the solar panels. The proposed system using fuzzy logic controller was built using

    MATLAB Simulink /Power System Block (PSB) set. A DSP controller has been embedded with program for

    firing of the thyristors used in the inverter with appropriate pulses. Hardware of the entire system was fabricated

    in the laboratory and the outputs from the PV array of 90 volts, 11 amperes are exhibited. Both the hardware and

    simulation outputs have been compared which are in close agreement to validate the suggested system.

    Paper Title: Modelling And Optimization Of Cutting Forces And Tool Wear In Milling Of Aerospace Al

    6061(Sic) Composites

    Abstract: The aftereffects of modelling and the investigation of the aluminium (Al) and aluminium based

    (Al6061) silicon carbide reinforcement (SiCp) Metal matrix composite (MMCs) during milling is analysed. The

    impact of processing parameters, for example, speed, feed rate, depth of cut on tool wear and the cutting forces

    has been examined. The analysis of the cutting forces in the milling of Al and its MMC plays an important role

    in characterizing the cutting operations through the response surface methodology (RSM) forecast model. The

    predicted model used to decide the consolidated impact of machining parameters on the cutting forces (Cf) and

    tool Flank wear (Vbmax.). The consequences of the model were contrasted with the experimental results and

    observed that the effects of the forecast help in the evolution of process parameters to minimizing the Cf and

    Vbmax.

    Paper Title: Spiritual Values: A question of existence in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury and

    Absalom, Absalom!

  • Abstract: Values are the necessary code for human conduct for harmonious life of integrity. Human beings are

    rational; they have reason for each and every action. Their actions bring out their beliefs, attitudes and custom.

    William Faulkner in his novels The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom! delivers perfect medium of the

    values in spirituality and absence in it. This research work focuses on the absence of spiritual values which lead

    to confusion and disorientation in the lives of many characters. All the characters discussed in the works of

    William Faulkner gives a perfect medium of trouble not only to self but also to others just because of the least

    consideration that is given to the values based on spirituality.

    Paper Title: P06 2A Planning Aspect of balancing Sustainability and Green Form for 21st Centuries Mega Cities

    Abstract: Open Spaces provides space for the expression of diversity, both personal and cultural. The social

    and cultural values of open space include attitudes towards nature and the desire for contact with it. Open space

    is now Inclusive part of statutory and community planning processes. Urban Spaces must be stimulating for all

    age groups encouraging their activities, events and gatherings via sustainable planning and design. This paper

    focuses on need, unconventional visions and principles for urban green form in this modern era of planning for

    21st century Mega cities. The social, cultural and physiological values of open space include attitudes towards

    nature and the desire for contact with it.

    Keywords : Open Spaces, sustainability, Green Form of Mega City, community planning.

    Paper Title: Impact of Culture on Rural built environment

    Abstract: The term “built environment” refers to the human made or modified physical surroundings in which

    people live, work and play. These places and spaces include our homes, communities, schools, workplaces,

    parks/recreations areas, business areas and transportation systems, and vary in size from large-scale urban areas

    to smaller rural developments. Based on human activities, the environment was created to obtain the basic needs

    of people. The regular human activities for many generations to prepare their needs are considered as culture.

    Hence based on culture, the environment was built and maintained for future generation. Regions are separated

    into two types based on production occurs in rural area and trading developed in urban. In olden days, most of

    the places are rural because of the undevelopment in transport system. The activities involved in preparing food,

    shelter and other needs are the common factors to build rural environment. Natural resources are the basic factor

    that decides the build environment and culture of human in rural regions. By analyzing the natural resources, the

    cultural impacts are determined based on building environment in rural areas.

    Index Terms: built environment, culture, natural resource.

    Paper Title: Common fixed point theorems for generalized cyclic contraction pair in partial b-metric spaces

    Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized cyclic contraction pair with transitive mapping

    in partial b-metric spaces. Also, we establish some fixed point theorems for this contraction pair. Our results

    generalize and improve the result of Oratai Yamaod, Wutiphol Sintunavarat and Yeol Je Cho (Fixed Point

    Theory App. 2015:164) in partial-b-metric spaces.

    Paper Title: Consequence Of Heat Transfer On Free Convection Flow Of Casson Fluid With Hall Effect

    Abstract: : Effect of heat transfer on free convection flow of Casson fluid over a vertical plate with Hall effect

    has been studied. A similarity analysis method was used to transform the system of partial differential equations

    describing the problem into an ordinary differential equations, Analytical solutions are obtained by solving the

    ODE to analyze the velocity and temperature fields. Variations of interesting parameters on the velocity, heat

    transfer and skin friction are observed by plotting graphs. Further, it was concluded that the Casson fluid

    parameter and hall parameter has an retarding influence on velocity profile and also in the skin friction.

    Index Terms: Casson fluid, Hall effect, MHD, Free convection, Velocity field...

    Paper Title: Representation Of The True Discipleship In Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”

    Abstract: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811 - 1896) a nineteenth century American female writer, rose from a

    religious family and enrooted in Calvinism preached by her father Lyman Beecher, she pictures the true disciple

    of Christ in her novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Uncle Tom, a blackish slave of Kentucky plantation in the year 1840

    who plays the central character and he owns only the Bible. Throughout the novel he often found reading it with

    great religious feeling and quotes it to educate Eva, Cassy, and others to find the strength to survive in their

    trials. This paper aims to observe the characteristics features of the true disciples with reference to the Bible. As

    the bible says, in Colossians 3:22 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when

    their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord”. The Holy

    book says that humans ought to treat one another as they themselves wish to be treated. Uncle Tom and Eva are

    true martyrs of love, compassion, sacrifice and obedience. They stand as a symbol of saintliness, representation

    and a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

    Index Terms: true disciple, obedience, humility, saintliness, sacrifice..

    Paper Title:

    Excess Acoustical Properties and Molecular Interactions in Ternary Liquid Mixtures of

    3(Meta)Methoxy Phenol, 1 Propanol and n- Hexane at 303 K, 308 K & 313 K Using Ultrasonic

    Techniques

    Abstract: The Ultrasonic velocity(U), density(ρ), and viscosity(η) have been measured experimentally for the

    ternary liquid mixtures of 3(meta) methoxy phenol(MMP), 1 propanol and n hexane at various temperatures viz.,

    303 K, 308 K and 313 K at constant frequency of 2 MHz. for different concentrations ranges from 0.001M to

    0.01M. The thermodynamic and acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility(β), Rao constant(R),

    absorption coefficient (α/f2), internal pressure(πi), cohesive energy(CE), free volume(Vf), free length(Lf),

    acoustic impedence(z), available volume(Va), viscous relaxation time and Lenard Jones potential were calculated

    from the experimental data. The various excess properties including excess Ultrasonic velocity, excess acoustic

    impedence, excess free length, excess adiabatic compressibility, excess free volume and excess internal pressure

    were also computed. The variation of these excess parameters with respect to concentration and temperatures

    have been discussed in the light of molecular interaction. The molecular interactions were predicted based on

    the results obtained for ultrasonic velocities of different concentrations of the ternary mixtures at different

    temperatures.

    Index Terms: molecular interactions, ultrasonic velocity, ternary liquid mixture, internal pressure, acoustic

    impedence.

    Paper Title: Improved Content Based Medical Image Retrieval using PCA with SURF Features

    Abstract: In the computer era, the Content Based Image Retrieval system (CBIR) has most widely used in medical field and crime invention. During the last decade, CBIR emerged as powerful tool to efficiently retrieved images visually similar

    to query image. The basic process behind this concept is representation of image as feature vector and to measure the

    similarities between the images with distance between their corresponding feature vectors according to some metrics. The

    finding of correct features to represent images with, as well as the similarity metric that groups visually similar image

    together, are important milestone in construction of any CBIR system .The work in this paper focused on retrieve the correct

    query image from a huge number of medical image databases with the help of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) through

    SURF feature vector detection. The combination of this method produces an accurate and quick response than other

    conventional methods like SIFT and SURF feature vector based medical image retrieval.
