Comparative Analysis of ACSR and HTLS Conductor

In India, ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) and AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor) are most commonly used conductors for transmission lines. To transfer bulk power from long distance and to meet the increased load demand either we have to construct the new UHV or EHV transmission lines or to uprate the existing transmission line. Uprating of transmission lines i.e. modifications in the existing transmission line to enable the increased current flow limits. Making a new transmission lines also have few constraints: ROW constraints (Lack of availability of corridors for construction of new transmission lines due to High Population Density, Forest/ Ecology conservation) and Time constraints

STUDENT’S PERCEPTION TOWARDS PLAGIARISM: A CASE STUDY OF CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF HARYANA (INDIA)

Plagiarism is an academic misconduct in which a person use or steals others intellectual property and presents it as own. This paper indicates about the perception of Central University Haryana students towards plagiarism. It is observed that the issue of plagiarism is a matter of great concern in higher educational institutions. This survey study was conducted on 150 post graduate level students of central university of Haryana where student’s perception towards plagiarism was assessed on the basis of a questionnaire. Results revealed that most of the students had a positive perception towards the plagiarism aspect assessed in this study. The favorable perception could be the result of their understanding about plagiarism and its consequences in academics. It might be due to the notification of UGC about plagiarism according to which it is considered as a crime in academics and UGC has zero tolerance policy on plagiarism with a penalty

A Review Paper On Motion Estimation Techniques

Motion estimation (ME) is a primary action for video compression. Actually, it leads to heavily to the compression efficiency by eliminating temporal redundancies. This approach is one among the critical part in a video encoder and can take itself greater than half of the coding complexity or computational coding time. Several fast ME algorithms were proposed as well as realized. In this paper, we offers a brief review on various motion estimation techniques mainly block matching motion estimation techniques. The paper additionally presents a very brief introduction to the whole flow of video motion vector calculation

Low Complexity Estimator for Downlink MC-CDMA System

Multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) is a strong candidate for downlink of future mobile communication to obtain high data rates. Nevertheless, during transmission over fading channel, performance of MC-CDMA systems are highly degraded due to presence of multiple access interference(MAI).Therefore channel estimation play an important role in overcoming MAI and characterising the channel to correct the received signal. A low complexity estimator for downlink MC-CDMA is proposed and simulated by MATLAB over a frequency selective fading channel. Comparing with conventional MMSE this algorithm has advantages of low computational complexity. The simulation results demonstrate that MC-CDMA with proposed channel estimator outperforms the OFDM in the practical case of Rayleigh fading environment

Multilingual Speaker Identification using analysis of Pitch and Formant frequencies

In the modern digital automated world, speaker identification system plays a very important role in the field of fast growing internet based communications. In India there are many people who are bi-lingual or multilingual, so the requirements to design such system which is used to identify the multilingual speakers. Present paper explores the idea to identify multi-lingual person by basic features. For this the speech signals of three indian languages i.e Hindi, Marathi and Rajasthani are recorded and basic features pitch, first three formant frequency calculated from PRAAT software. The observation has been presented that the pitch and first three formant frequencies F1,F2 and F3 of speaker are increases when speaker change the language from rajasthani to hindi to marathi. The percentage deviation in pitch as well as formant frequencies for Rajasthani and Marathi from hindi are positive and negative respectively for utterance “p”. Similar analysis has been perform for ’k aand >. This observation will help to make such system which is used to identify the speaker in multilingual environments

An Improved Modular Hybrid Ant Colony Approach for Solving Traveling Salesman Problem

Our primary aim is to design a framework to solve the well knowntraveling salesman problem(TSP) using combined approach ofAnt Colony Optimization (ACO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA).Several solutions exists for the above problem using ACO or GAand even using a hybrid approach of ACO and GA. Ourframework gives the optimal solution for the above problem byusing the modular hybrid approach of ACO and GA along withheuristic approaches.We have incorporated GA, RemoveSharpand LocalOpt heuristic approaches in ACO module, hence eachiteration calls the GA and heuristics within ACO module whichresults in a higher amount of pheromone deposited in the optimalpath for global pheromone update. As a result the convergence isquicker and solution is optimal

Capstrum Coefficient Features Analysis for Multilingual Speaker Identification System

The Capstrum coefficient features analysis plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the multilingual speaker identification system. The objective of the research work to investigates the results that can be obtained when you combine Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Gammatone Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (GFCC) as feature components for the front-end processing of a multilingual speaker identification system. The MFCC and GFCC feature components combined are suggested to improve the reliability of a multilingual speaker identification system. The GFCC features in recent studies have shown very good robustness against noise and acoustic change. The main idea is to integrate MFCC & GFCC features to improve the overall multilingual speaker identification system performance. The experiment carried out on recently collected multilingual speaker speech database to analysis of GFCC and MFCC. The speech database consists of speech data recorded from 100 speakers including male and female. The speech samples are collected in three different languages Hindi, Marathi and Rajasthani. The extracted features of the speech signals of multiple languages are observed. The results provide an empirical comparison of the MFCC-GFCC combined features and the individual counterparts. The average language-independent multilingual speaker identification rate 84.66% (using MFCC), 93.22% (using GFCC)and 94.77% (using combined features)has been achieved

Perceived Stress, Quality of Life and Pregnancy Outcomes Among Women with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) And Role of Midwives in It: A Systematic Review

Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are one of the leading causes of maternal & newborn death across the world. Many of the hypertensive antenatal women often end of with admission to ICU due to severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, or delivering dead babies of term pregnancy, even if live baby delivered, they mostly admitted to NICU due to respiratory distress and prematurity. Hence, they need continuous educational intervention and follow up by healthcare personnel. And a midwife is the right person for this. Midwives play an important role in encouraging pregnant mothers to adhere to treatment through various education and follow up resulting in safe pregnancy outcome among these mothers. But in Indian scenario in many places the role of midwives are often ignored while managing pregnancy complications. Therefore, current paper aimed to explore the expanded role of midwives in identifying the affected quality of life and its impact on pregnancy outcome among women with HDPs. The empirical research papers of various countries were searched through the electronic databases like Pro-Quest, Embase, Research Gate, Science direct, PUBMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL-EBSCO, web of science, Google Scholar etc and the references were also searched of those primary articles. A total of 15 out of 275 studies including both RCTs, Systematic & narrative review papers were analysed. In this paper 4 relevant points were analyzed, like- perceived stress, quality of life (QOL), pregnancy outcomes and role of midwife in GHTN management in rural India. The research papers on pregnancy outcomes as well as stress and QOL secondary to gestational outcome were plenty, but very less studies were retrieved on role of midwives. Mother’s with GHTN has more stress regarding the fetal wellbeing which ultimately affects the quality of life. Interventional studies revealed reduction in stress and improved perinatal outcome secondary to some integrated midwifery management approach. More research on addressing quality of life and exploring the stressors and interventional programs by midwifes are recommended to bring solution to this problem. The result of this review can be incorporated into nursing research to empower the women with gestational hypertension to have a positive pregnancy experience
