    Hadoop biological systems become progressively significant for professionals of huge scale information examination, they likewise acquire huge energy cost. This pattern is dynamic up the requirement for planning energy-effective Hadoop clusters so as to lessen the operational costs and the carbon emanation related with its energy utilization. Be that as it may, in spite of broad investigations of the issue, existing methodologies for energy proficiency have not completely measured the heterogeneity of both workloads. So that here enhancing the model by find that heterogeneity-unaware task task methodologies are hindering to both execution and energy effectiveness of Hadoop clusters. Our perception demonstrates that even heterogeneity-mindful methods that intend to decrease the job fulfillment time don't ensure a decrease in energy utilization of heterogeneous machines. We propose E-Ant which plans to get better the general energy utilization in a heterogeneous Hadoop group without giving up job execution. It adaptively plans heterogeneous workloads on energy-effective machines. E-Ant utilizes a subterranean insect state improvement approach that creates task assignment arrangements dependent on the input of each jobs energy utilization by Tasktrackers and also we incorporate DVFS method with E-Ant to further improve the energy proficiency

    The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of blanching, dehydration and packaging on nutrient composition of Amaranthus gangeticus and Spinach oleracea. There was a loss of sugars, Proteins, vitamin- c and carotenoids were noticed due to blanching. But the colour of green leafy vegetables (GLV) is retained due to blanching. Leafy vegetables were dehydrated in cabinet dryer at 60oC and packed in three packaging materials (Metalized polypropylene (MPP) 300 gauge, high density polyethylene (HDPE) 300 gauge, low density polyethylene (LDPE) 200 gauge) and stored at room temperature for 45 days to evaluate the best package for maximum retention of nutrients in leafy vegetables during storage. PP followed by HDPE was found to be good for retention of nutrients in dehydrated leafy vegetables during 45 days of storage. Irrespective of the losses of nutrients that take place during dehydrated packaging, GLV can be preserved by dehydration which is eco-friendly and easily adoptable

    In non-traditional machining, electrical discharge machining (EDM) has tremendous potential on account of versatility of its applications and is successfully, commercially used in modern industries. EDM process is capable to machine geometrically complex, hard material components, tool steels, composites, super alloys, ceramics and carbides. In EDM, Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Tool wear rate (TWR) are generally analyzed to assess its performance. For this, a perfect combination of input variables is required. In the present study, machining is done on Tool steel workpiece material using a pure copper electrode. The input parameters like Pulse-ON time, Pulse- OFF time, Current and Gap voltage are selected for experimentation and Taguchi method is employed for the DOE by considering 4 factors and 3 levels. A total of 27 experiments (L27 orthogonal array) have been designed with a possible combination of selected input parameters. The present work mainly focuses on development of an extensive mathematical model for correlating the input and output variables using a conventional regression analysis. The adequacy of proposed model was tested with the help of some collected data through experimentation using taguchi optimized DOE. The proposed linear multi-variable regression equation was found to be a best fitted model with 98% confidence levels.In non-traditional machining, electrical discharge machining (EDM) has tremendous potential on account of versatility of its applications and is successfully, commercially used in modern industries.

    With the rising number of web users using Smartphone in addition to its individualized service under examination, the environment of Smartphone does not make available user’s search rankings suitable to personal inclinations. Ontology-based user profiles can productively confine users’ content as well as location preferences and make use of the preferences to make relevant results for users. A realistic design was introduced for Personalized Mobile Search Engine by adopting the approach of meta-search which relies on the commercial search engines, to carry out a genuine search. In Personalized Mobile Search Engine, ontologies were accepted to structure the concept space intended for the reason that they not only can stand up for concepts but also hold the relations between concepts. The design of personalized mobile search engine addressed the issues such as restricted computational power on mobile devices, and minimization of data transmission. Proposed design accept server-client model in which user queries are forwarded towards a personalized mobile search engine server for processing training as well as re-ranking rapidly
