Overview Of Crowd Funding In India

Crowd funding is the process of raising essential amounts of funds from a large number of people to launch a new business initiative. It is typically accomplished by connecting investors and entrepreneurs through social media and crowd funding platforms, with the potential to boost entrepreneurship by broadening the pool of investors outside the conventional circle of owners, relatives, and venture capitalists. Although the crowd financing market is only a few years old, it has quickly become one of the most popular ways to raise funds. This enables entrepreneurs to avoid the traditional banking system. Banks have been more reluctant to lend to small firms, particularly in the aftermath of the financial crisis. This has made it difficult for many entrepreneurs to secure the funds they require to establish or grow their firms. Crowd funding not only gives prospective entrepreneurs with the capital they need, but it also validates their ideas and helps them develop a network of early adopters and supporters. Collective contributions have enabled inventive entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life. This research study presents an outline of crowd funding's current position and prospects as a source of financing for Indian enterprises

THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ADRAKADI QUATH SIDHA DUGDHA AND ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ARSHAS (HEMORRHOIDS)

Arshas (hemorrhoids) occurs mainly due to the vitiation of Agni, which leads to Malavasthambha (constipation) and Vimarga gamana of Apana Vayu. So obviously, the drug, which has capacity to streamline the vitiated Agni and regulate the Anulomagati of Apana Vayu, will be the drug of choice in treating Arshas. Adrakadi quath sidha dugdha possesses Ushna, Tikshna Dipana, Pachana and Vatanulomana property. Envisaging these points an attempt has been put forth to evaluate the efficacy of Adrakadi quath sidha dugdha in patients suffering from Arshas and the subject entitled The Comparative study of Adrakadi quath sidha dugdha and Ashwagandha churna in the management of Arshas w.s.r. to hemorrhoids have been selected for study. Total 60 patients of Arshas were registered for the present study. The selected patients were distributed randomly into two groups. Group A: 30 patients were treated with Adrakadi quath sidha dugdha 40 ml twice a day with water, after food for 15 days. Group B: 30 patients were treated with Ashwagandha churna 2 gm twice a day with water for 15 days. The observations and results obtained from clinical study have been analysed statistically to evaluate the significance of the curative properties of therapies

Integrated approach for efficient power consumption and resource allocation in MIMO-OFDMA

The growing interest towards wireless communication advancement with smart devices has provided the desired throughput of wireless communication mechanisms. But, attaining high-speed data packets amenities is the biggest issue in different multimedia applications. Recently, OFDM has come up with the useful features for wireless communication however it faces interference issues at carrier level (intercarrier interferences). To resolve these interference issues in OFDM, various existing mechanisms were utilized cyclic prefix, but it leads to redundancy in transmitted data. Also, the transmission of this redundant data can take some more power and bandwidth. All these limitations factors can be removed from a parallel cancellation mechanism. The integration of parallel cancellation and Convolution Viterbi encoding and decoding in MIMO-OFDMA will be an effective solution to have high data rate which also associations with the benefits of both the architectures of MIMO and OFDMA modulation approaches. This paper deals with this integrated mechanism for efficient resource allocation and power consumption. For performance analysis, MIMO-OFDMA system is analyzed with three different approaches likeMIMO-OFDM system without parallel cancellation (MIMO-OFDMA-WPC), MIMO-OFDMA System with parallel cancellation (MIMO-OFDMA-PC) and proposed IMO-OFDMA system with parallel cancellation and Convolution Viterbi encoding/decoding (pMIMO-OFDMA-PC &CVed) for 4x4 transmitter and receiver. Through performance analysis, it is found that the proposed system achieved better resource allocation (bandwidth) with high data rate by minimized BER rate and achieved least power consumption with least BER

ESSVCS: an enriched secret sharing visual cryptography

Visual Cryptography (VC) is a powerful technique that combines the notions of perfect ciphers and secret sharing in cryptography with that of raster graphics. A binary image can be divided into shares that are able to be stacked together so as to approximately recover the original image. VC is a unique technique in the sense that the encrypted message can be decrypted directly by the Human Visual System (HVS). The distinguishing characteristic of VC is the ability of secret restoration without the use of computation. However because of restrictions of the HVS, pixel expansion and alignment problems, a VC scheme perhaps can only be applied to share a small size of secret image. In this paper, we present an Enriched Secret Sharing Visual Cryptography Scheme (ESSVCS) to let the VC shares carry more secrets, the technique is to use cypher output of private-key systems as the input random numbers of VC scheme, meanwhile the encryption key could be shared, the shared keys could be associated with the VC shares. After this operation, VC scheme and secret sharing scheme are merged with the private-key system. Under this design, we implement a (k; t; n)-VC scheme. Compared to those existing schemes, our scheme could greatly enhance the ability of current VC schemes and could cope with pretty rich secrets
