 Abstract

Indian retailers are now days faced with a multitude of challenges � �now�, �next�, and �beyond�. We are currently in the �now� phase where the most retailers are coping with a complete pause in business. Even food and grocery players and chemists, that deal with essential commodities, although allowed to operate now, are also facing challenges. These challenges include managing consumer demand, ensuring of liquidity, supply chain disruptions, management of store operations to ensure that social distancing and proper hygiene, governance issues, and ensuring the health and safety of employees. While the essentials (personal care, food and beverage, home care) would be the lesser impacted, health and economic concerns would rather reduce consumer confidence and their spending on non-essential goods (apparel, furniture) and high ticket items (consumer electronics, jewellery). In the medium term, or the �next� phase, where the government starting easing restrictions, retailers will need to focus on bouncing back from the current situation. In the long-term �beyond� phase, they also need to focus on transforming to succeed in a new business landscape. The challenges would be seen as to cater to consumers via their preferred channels and to build business resiliency to operate with smoothly during any future crises.

To keep our bank account details, emails, social media accounts, personal data secure we need a password. The password system plays an important role in keeping the data safe. Protecting the password from the hackers or unauthorized users is the main challenging task. Most of the existing password systems are exposed; they may lead to the chances of hacking. The simple and common way that the hacker can guess the password is by looking over the users shoulder. In this hacker is going to watch the users shoulder when the user enters the password, this leads to the result of shoulder surfing attack. Since to avoid that attack we mentioned here a chromatic password system, it is a novel or new method, which avoids the shoulder surfing attack.

 Abstract

Glass fibre reinforced gypsum (GFRG) bricks are produced from gypsum and chopped glass fibres. This bricks provide an innovative solution for affordable mass housing and to reduce the use of sand, water, gravel etc. It is also a modern approach to overcome the drawbacks of existing GFRG panels. The idea of this paper is to find a use for this waste gypsum into something useful .They are light in weight and overall cost is also low as they are made from recycled industrial waste gypsum which is obtained as byproduct from various fertilizer industries, chopped fibres are the main filler material used which act as reinforcement instead of concrete to reduce the weight of brick. They are fabricated with dimensions 230x100x75mm with needed allowance. In this paper comparative study is shown between GFRG bricks and clay bricks. The results showed promise, that the GFRG Brick was efficient than the clay brick.

 Abstract

Drug abuse is some form or other is a universal phenomenon. India is also not an exception. The traditional drugs of abuse in India have been herbal Cannabis and Opium which were available in restricted quantities from licensed shop till recently. As long as drug addiction was confined to certain types of individuals and the problem was managed by the informal mechanism of social control. But the situation has changed dramatically in last two decades because of the steady increase in the clandestine demands for hard drugs like Heroin and Concentrated Cannabis in the affluent Western Countries which have led to the development of illicit conversion of opium into Heroin in the clandestine laboratories in �Golden Triangle� and �Golden Crescent�. Various conventions were held being The Hague Convention Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, 1988 held only with the objectives to combat with the problem of drug abuse in the world and to suggest necessary measures and guidelines to control the same but still the results which were expected in international sphere have not come and drug trafficking problem is still going on which has caused great loss to the public particularly the youth.

 Abstract

Traditionally, data analysis was trial and error-based, an approach that becomes impossible when data sets are large and heterogeneous. Machine Learning being a part of data science provides quick-witted substitutes for exploring enormous mass of data. By growing rapid and well organized algorithms and data-driven models for actual-time processing of data. The purpose of institutions is to provide golden opportunities to their students. Linear Regression, a tool of supervised machine learning can contribute its features to serve this purpose. It is an effective method helping in predicting future trend of student placement based on advance placement practice test marks. The result obtained from this will help the students to better understand their weak areas to work upon. Working on these areas will let students achieve higher number of placements in an institution.

 Abstract

Multiplication is the basic arithmetic operation. In DSP (digital signal processing) a lot of arithmetic operations require the use of multiplications. The performance of 3D computer graphics, gaming, Embedded systems, DSP etc, are particularly depends on the performance of multiplication steps. Multipliers have more area, long latency and consume high amount of power. Critical factors in the design of multipliers are chip area and speed of multiplication and require less hardware. Scaling of technology node increases power-density more than expected. This paper is focused on Multi Precision (MP) reconfigurable multiplier combined with various precision methods, parallel processing (PP), razor-based dynamic voltage scaling (DVS), and MP operands scheduling to give optimum level of performance for various operating conditions. Adapting to the run-time workload of the targeted application, razor flip-flops combine with a dithering voltage unit, because of this the multiplier is able to achieve the lowest power consumption. Use of single switch dithering voltage unit and razor flip-flops help to minimize the safety margins in voltage and overhead in DVS. The more amount of silicon area and power requirements are reduced because of reconfigurable structures. In this paper we design the multiplier in three ways and compare their performance. We can obtain the efficiency and also achieve silicon area reduction in the range of 11.1% by using AIMS 0.35 technology. Using ModelSim6.3 software we can design the multiplier structure and Xilinx synthesis Tool is used for power and area analysis.
