 Abstract

This paper formulates and presents the findings on prison system of colonial rulers in Malabar. Munro directed the attention of the government to the deplorable state of the goals, the government of Madras paid scant attention to the problem of prison administration. Prisons were confined in several scatted places. Prison life was veritable hell. Severity of treatment was the order of the day. Death in prison was a usual occurrence. Hygienic conditions were extremely bad. By the regulation of 1802, the magistrate was put in charge of the prisons in the district. The colonial rulers introduced many radical reforms to improve the conditions of the prisoners in Malabar.

 Abstract

The major challenge in preventive geriatric care is that physical activity decreases with age and inactive older people are at high risk of diseases. This was a study conducted on 60 community dwelling elderly rural population. Sampling technique was simple random technique and study material was Cone markers, Chair without arm rest, Measuring tape. The entire procedures involved in the study was explained to each subject. After explaining the purpose of the study a written informed consent was obtained from the participants and then the foot up and go test, chair sit and reach test and 2 -min walk test was taken for balance, flexibility and endurance respectively over the elderly rural population. The result shows that the mean values of balance, flexibility and endurance in elderly rural population. And also the value of balance, flexibility and endurance in men and women and their mean value according to different age groups. The study concluded that the endurance is more in elderly population than balance and flexibility. And as compared between the gender, the balance is more in men and women has greater flexibility and endurance as compared to men.

 Abstract

The engagement of faculty is considered to have an enormous effect on the success of the student and the overall development of the society. The aim of the study is to determine antecedents which influence the engagement of faculty members working in educational institutions. In accordance with this aim, a cross-sectional survey design was applied to a sample of 360 faculties in the survey. The antecedents were identified and analysed using Factor analysis technique. Based on the outcome of the analysis, four antecedents were extracted, namely: Institutional Support, Institutional Orientation for Results, Supervisory Support and Teacher Self-Efficacy.

 Abstract

A major part of the construction works are done on red soil. But the problem associated with red soil is that they are loosely packed and void space is more which results in reducing the strength of the soil. Hence to rectify this we need to stabilize the soil. An effective method of soil stabilization is to add additives. These additives bind the particles together thereby reducing the void space. But there comes a question that which additive is the best whether natural or artificial fibre. In this study, a comparative analysis on the increase in strength of soil by adding natural as well as artificial fibre in various concentration of fibre (0.5%, 1%, 2%) is done. As a natural fibre, a mixture of coir fibre and sugarcane fibre is used and as an artificial fibre, polyester fibre is used. Various tests such as plastic limit and liquid limit test, standard proctor test, UCC, direct shear test is done to check out the strength parameters of soil by adding additives. From the study, we have concluded that by adding natural as well as artificial fibre the strength increases. There is not much difference between natural and artificial fibre hence natural fibre can be used.

 Abstract

Novel watermarking scheme is proposed that would notably enhance cutting-edge watermarking strategies. This scheme exploits the capabilities of micro images of watermarks to build affiliation policies and embeds the guidelines into a bunch photograph in preference to the bit circulation of the watermark, that is usually used in digital watermarking. Next, similar micro pics with the same policies are amassed or even constructed from the host picture to simulate an extracted watermark. This technique, known as the Features Classification Forest, can obtain blind extraction and is adaptable to any watermarking scheme the use of a quantization-based mechanism. Furthermore, a bigger size watermark may be established without an negative impact at the imperceptibility of the host photograph. The experiments demonstrate the successful simulation of watermarks and the application to five different watermarking schemes. One of them is barely adjusted from a reference to specially withstand JPEG compression, and the others show native benefits to resist different photo processing attacks. Noises.

 Abstract

Energy demand and supply has always been a core issue in the world for decades. These days all the countries are trying to cope up with the rapidly growing energy demands due to high energy appliances and industrial machines. The renewable energy resources are a preferred area of interest for researchers as these resources are harmless to the environment. The aim is to contribute towards wind energy conversion systems based on doubly fed induction generator by designing an intelligent controller based on fuzzy systems to improve reference tracking and robustness. Two controllers, PI and Fuzzy Intelligence based controllers are designed for decoupled control of stator active and reactive power. The responses of the two controllers are compared using MATLAB Simulink.

 Abstract

In this paper we do the analogical study of two different numerical methods in respect to iteration. Any numerical analysis model or method is faster if and only if a sequence of model solutions with increasingly refined solution domains approaches to a fixed value. Newton�Raphson and False Position methods are very e?ective numerical procedures used for solving nonlinear equations of the form f(x) = 0.Their analyses can be carried out from comparing Newton-Raphson and False Position. Given that a model is consistent, it is not feasible to apply any method to a problem without testing the size of the time and iterative steps which form the discrete approximation of the solution of the given problem. And we can say that Newton Raphson is best and faster than False Position method. The contents of this note should also be a useful exercise/example in the application of polynomial interpolation and divided di?erences in introductory courses in numerical analysis.

 Abstract

Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics. Linear algebra is widely use in both abstract algebra & functional analysis. Linear algebra is a sub-field of mathematics concerned with vectors, matrices, and linear transforms. Like vectors can be implemented by lists and matrices can be implemented with the help of nested lists. In this article we are discussing applications of Linear Algebra like matrix, and explore matrix operations on an image and Processing of images using mathematical operations.

 Abstract

The time required for a construction project is vital attention as a delay in the schedule can lead to damages and financial impacts on the contract parties, mainly client and contractor. The main objectives of construction projects include completing the project on time. Moreover, the success or failure of a delayed project ultimately depends on the effectiveness of the appropriate actions taken at the right time to recover the project. Before these actions can be taken, however, organizations need to be able to recognize problems and prepare to take appropriate corrective measures. The Indian construction industry is also facing a lot of challenges in completing construction projects within the estimated time as well as cost. The basic technique utilized for assessing the effect of individual delaying events on the overall project duration is network analysis, also known as Critical Path Method analysis or CPM. The longest sequence of required construction activities to complete the project is its critical path. Delay to any of the critical path activities will extend the project duration. Several steps can be explored to recover the schedule such as re-sequencing activities or reducing other critical path activity durations. Also, the noncritical activities can be delayed without affecting the project duration within the available float. This paper outlines the process effectiveness of utilization of floats in the project scheduling as an attempt for schedule recovery.
