Urban heritage conservation and rapid urbanization : insights from Surat, India

Currently, heritage is challenged in the Indian city of Surat due to diverse pressures,  including rapid urbanization, increasing housing demand, and socio‐cultural and climate changes.  Where rapid demographic growth of urban areas is happening, heritage is disappearing at an  alarming rate. Despite some efforts from the local government, urban cultural heritage is being  neglected and historic buildings keep being replaced by ordinary concrete buildings at a worryingly  rapid pace. Discussions of challenges and issues of Surat’s urban area is supported by a qualitative  dataset, including in‐depth semi‐structured interviews and focus groups with local policy makers,  planners, and heritage experts, triangulated by observation and a photo‐survey of two historic  areas. Findings from this study reveal a myriad of challenges such as: inadequacy of urban  conservation management policies and processes focused on heritage, absence of skills, training,  and resources amongst decision makers and persistent conflict and competition between heritage  conservation needs and developers’ interests. Furthermore, the values and significance of Surat’s  tangible and intangible heritage is not fully recognized by its citizens and heritage stakeholders. A  crucial opportunity exists for Surat to maximize the potential of heritage and reinforce urban  identity for its present and future generations. Surat’s context is representative of general trends  and conservation challenges and therefore recommendations developed in this study hold the  potential to offer interesting insights to the wider planners and conservationists’ international  community.  This  paper  recommends  thoughtful  integration  of  sustainable  heritage  urban  conservation into local urban development frameworks and the establishment of approaches that  recognize the plurality of heritage values

Analytics of IoT Streaming Data using Modified New Pattern Mining Algorithm

In the era of information technology, everything we are using in the everyday life is represented in form of information. Transportation, parking, traffic, pollution are some examples of hundreds of infrastructure systems with which we act every day. By using information technologies combined with communication, it becomes very easy to represent all details even the tiniest parts of these fields in forms of data. Furthermore, the Internet of things (IoT) plays a very important role in connecting physical objects with electronics, software, and sensors. Based on that, smart cites have been modeled and implemented in thousands place over all the world; In these cities, all smart systems in different fields like transportation networks, pollution,traffic,airlines, etc. are showed in form of numbers and strings of characters.This paper represents the problems occur in this type of methods with little bit solution of them by new modified algorithm

Effective Scheduling of Road and Bridge Closures: Phase 2

This research provides a study on work zone impact analysis. In case of multiple road closures, the network approach is used to find an effective scheduling such that the total user delay is reduced. A dynamic model for analyzing the work zone impact during the period when network is in transition state is also developed. A salient feature of the dynamic model is drives’ perception updating model, which incorporates availability and the quality of information as perceived by drivers

Analytical solution to position dependent mass Schr\"odinger equation

Using a recently developed technique to solve Schr\"odinger equation for constant mass, we studied the regime in which mass varies with position i.e position dependent mass Schr\"odinger equation(PDMSE). We obtained an analytical solution for the PDMSE and applied our approach to study a position dependent mass $m(x)$ particle scattered by a potential $\mathcal{V}(x)$. We also studied the structural analogy between PDMSE and two-level atomic system interacting with a classical field.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

ANALYZING WEB LOGS OF AN ASTROLOGICAL WEBSITE USING KEY INFLUENCERS

With the growth of Internet, websites have become a dynamic tool in the market for every business to both acquire and service their customers. Online presence through websites has given them a global and wider reach. Good design and well management are the two key aspects of the effective website to catch the attention of visitors. Nowadays, the analysis and behavior of website visitors can be used to convert them into customers and serve them in a better way. This can be carried out on the weblogs which are generated as a result of user’s access to a website. This paper aims to study the log files of an astrological website. An astrological website has not gained much attention in the internet community as people prefer going to the astrologers in person to resolve their problems. The log files of an astrology website were taken, preprocessed and analyzed using Analyze Key Influencers technique a feature of Microsoft SQL Server Data Mining Add-ins for Microsoft Office 2007. The information obtained can be used to enhance the effectiveness of the website

The Manual Steering to be Made Cut Very Freely without using Power Steering System

This paper presents Manual Steering To Be Made Cut Very Freely Without Using Power Steering System, In thesis we increase the length of arm bolt so that manual steering of heavy vehicles which are very hard to be cut made easy so that driver can easily cut it and by this manual steering will cut full on both i.e. left and right side
