LIFESTYLE INDICATOR SCHEME FOR GROUPING SIMILARITIES IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Even though huge efforts were produced for activity recognition by means of wise phones, there's comparatively minute concentrate on recognition of daily routines by means of wise phones. To cope with challenges of existing works, we provide Friend book, this can be a semantic-based system of friend recommendation for social systems according to sensor-wealthy wise phones. In recent occasions, when using the growth and development of systems of social networking, friend recommendations are suffering from plenty of consideration.  It is the friend recommendation system which was measured first using existence style information of user that was discovered from Smartphone sensors. Totally different from friend recommendation techniques according to social graphs in traditional services of social networking, Friend book found existence styles from user-centric data collected from sensors on wise phone and suggested potential buddies towards clients once they distribute comparable existence styles. Introduced system finds out existence styles concerning clients from user centric information, and assesses being much like existence styles among clients plus this method, client-server mode was created where every client might be a Smartphone that suits the use of user and servers are data centres

Behavior of Reinforced Sand Subjected To Shear along Vertical Plane

For proper design of any reinforced structure, soil-reinforcement interaction should be determined. The pullout resistance of the reinforcement is an important parameter in the design of reinforced earth structures. The existing design procedures consider the pullout resistance due to only axial pull. However, the kinematics of failure clearly establishes that the reinforcement is displaced obliquely. This work presents the results of reinforced soil bed when sheared normal to the reinforcement. Tests materials included sand and several soil reinforcements like strips, geogrids, etc. The shear stress-displacement responses at various normal stresses are presented and test results show that the shear resistance of reinforced sand under normal shear is significantly higher than that of unreinforced sand. Plots are provided showing the comparison of the shear stress-displacement response of reinforced and unreinforced beds under the test conditions proposed in the study

Genetic variation and genetic diversity in chicken populations using microsatellite assay

Microsatellites are one of the recent markers widely used in gene marker studies, as they are abundant, co-~ominant, highly polymorphic and dispersed throughout the genome. Microsatellites are identified as reliable markers in chicken.(Romanov and Weigend 2001). Birds (212) representing 8 populations were utilized in the present study. Blood samples were collected from the Wbite Leghorn layer parent strains (WLH-IWD and WLHIWF) from AICRP on Poultry Breeding, Rajendranagar, the Babcock and the Vencobb commercial birds maintained at the Department of Poultry Science, College of Veterinary Science, Hyderabad, the Aseel from the backyards of farmers of West Godavari and Srikakukam districts and non-descript (desi) birds from adjoining areas of Rajendranagar. Three di-nucleotide microsatellite markers chosen randomly from the list recommended by the FAO (Cheng et al. 1995) and mapped either in Compton or East Lansing reference populations were genotyped. Blood samples (0.5-2.0 mVbird) were coUected into the vacutainers containing EDTA (5.4 mg) from the wing vein

AN AUTHENTICATING STRATEGY BY USERS PATTERN

The part-based access control divides the operation of authorization into role-permission furthermore to user-role assignment. The daily rising assets of understanding that's available online makes effective means of data access a crucial part of understanding systems. We introduce computational type of dynamic trust for user approval, that's rooted in findings from social science. Completely different from established types of computational trust, our suggested system differentiates getting belief in belief within integrity from that in competence in many contexts for subjectivity in assessment of particular trustee by way of several trusters. The suggested representation isn't limited towards getting belief in belief since the majority of the computational methods. The suggested representation 's the reason various trust particularly, it differentiate getting belief in belief within integrity from that in proficiency which model views subjectivity of trust ratings by way of various entities, and initiates a method to eliminate the outcomes of subjectivity within status aggregation. This trust model differentiates integrity trust from competence trust

Differential spatial modulation for high-rate transmission systems

This paper introduces a new differential spatial modulation (DSM) scheme which subsumes both the previously introduced DSM and high-rate spatial modulation (HR-SM) for wireless multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission. By combining the codeword design method of the HR-SM scheme with the encoding method of the DSM scheme, we develop a high-rate differential spatial modulation (HR-DSM) scheme equipped with an arbitrary number of transmit antennas that requires channel state information (CSI) neither at the transmitter nor at the receiver. The proposed approach can be applied to any equal energy signal constellations. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed HR-DSM schemes is evaluated by using both theoretical upper bound and computer simulations. It is shown that for the same spectral efficiency and antenna configuration, the proposed HR-DSM outperforms the DSM in terms of bit error rate (BER) performance

ANALYSIS OF MULTI-TEMPORAL SATELLITE DATA FOR FOREST FIRE CHARACTERISATION OVER CENTRAL INDIAN REGION – A CLIMATE CHANGE PERSPECTIVE

Globally, forest fires are considered as one of the major drivers of climate change, altering the terrestrial ecosystems and radiation balance of the earth-atmospheric system through high carbon emissions, emissions of trace gases, aerosols and black carbon into the atmosphere (Balch et al. 2010). The current study presents the impact of air temperature variation on forest fire occurrences in Central Indian region during 2003–2010. The decadal (2001–2010) fire events in Central India were analysed in relation to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) derived Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) and interpolated air temperature data from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) to characterise the regional impact of climate on fire occurrences. The study shows the exponential relation of fire with LST and rise in air temperature. There exists an inverse relation between spatial patterns of fire and EVI, which represents the intra-annual variability in fire incidences during the summer season in Central Indian region. Majority of the fire incidences are recoded in the March month of every year with highest rank in the year 2009. The linear regression relation of forest fire density and decadal mean temperature has been applied to simulate the probable fire vulnerable zones for the 2020s decade using projected temperature spatial layer from IPCC HaDCM3 (Hadley Centre Coupled Model, version 3) data

Linking small-scale farmers to credit institutions

Improvement in farmers livelihoods depends on the strength of their coming together. Access to resources is influenced by the extent to which farmers are organized and the institutional arrangements available and finally the contextual social and political structure. Farmers’ organizations, therefore, would have a vital role to play in rural chang

Contribution of Nutrients through Critical Irrigation from Diverse Water Sources in Selected Watersheds of Semi-arid Tropical India

Critical irrigation is one of the most important management options to protect the crop during weather aberrations like dry spells at critical stages of the crop growth in semi arid condition. Various water harvesting structures are useful in watershed areas to cope up with mid-season droughts. These structures provide critical irrigations at sensitive crop growth stages by which they supply essential nutrients to some extent. We estimated the contribution of various sources of water in terms of plant nutrients and to what extent critical irrigations meet nutrient requirements of various crops. By giving 4 cm irrigation, the maximum major nutrient (kg ha-1) addition in the studied watersheds is of the following order NO3 (5.2, Kothapalli); SO4 (15.2, Kolar); Na (72.0, Haveri); K (3.6, Govardhanapura); Ca (38.5, Semli and Shyamapura); Mg (20.5, Kothapalli) and for micronutrients (g ha-1) Fe (109, Kolar); Zn (40, Kothapalli); Mn (90, Kolar); Cu (120, ICRISAT) and B (190, ICRISAT). Percentage of recommended dose of nutrients which can be met by three irrigations in cereal crops (5- 10, 15-100, 10-20% in N,S,K respectively); legumes (5-30,10-100, 5-10% of N,S,K respectively); cotton (10-15, 25-30, 5-10% of N,S,K, respectively) and micronutrients such as Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu and B to the full extent. With the number of critical irrigations increased, application of secondary and micro nutrients should be avoided which otherwise leads to higher cost of alleviation and environmental pollution

Duodeno-pancreatic and extrahepatic biliary tree trauma: WSES-AAST guidelines

Duodeno-pancreatic and extrahepatic biliary tree injuries are rare in both adult and pediatric trauma patients, and due to their anatomical location, associated injuries are very common. Mortality is primarily related to associated injuries, but morbidity remains high even in isolated injuries. Optimal management of duodeno-bilio-pancreatic injuries is dictated primarily by hemodynamic stability, clinical presentation, and grade of injury. Endoscopic and percutaneous interventions have increased the ability to non-operatively manage these injuries. Late diagnosis and treatment are both associated to increased morbidity and mortality. Sequelae of late presentations of pancreatic injury and complications of severe pancreatic trauma are also increasingly addressed endoscopically and with interventional radiology procedures. However, for moderate and severe extrahepatic biliary and severe duodeno-pancreatic injuries, immediate operative intervention is preferred as associated injuries are frequent and commonly present with hemodynamic instability or peritonitis. The aim of this paper is to present the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) and American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) duodenal, pancreatic, and extrahepatic biliary tree trauma management guidelines
