Design

Multimedia data security is very important for multimedia commerce on the internet and real time data multicast. An striking solution for encrypting data with adequate message security at low cost is the use of Scrambler/Descrambler. Scramblers are necessary components of physical layer system standards besides interleaved coding and modulation. Scramblers are well used in modern VLSI design especially those are used in data communication system either to secure data or re-code periodic sequence of binary bits stream. However, it is necessary to have a descrambler block on the receiving side while using scrambling data in the transmitting end to have the actual input sequence on the receiving end. Scrambling and De-scrambling is an algorithm that converts an input string into a seemingly random string of the same length to avoid simultaneous bits in the long format of data. Scramblers have accomplish of uses in today's data communication protocols. On the other hand, those methods that are theoretical proposed are not feasible in the modern digital design due to many reasons such as slower data rate, increasing information, circuit hazards, uncountable hold-up etc. Therefore it is requisite for the modern digital design to have modified architecture to meet the required goal. We will recommend here modified scrambler design which is perfectly suitable for any industrial design

A STUDY OF ADAPTABILITY OF NEW TRENDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

How far has this research throws light on new trends, innovative practices on education to be relevant in present situation. Recent trends in education encompass various developments, innovations, and shifts in teaching and learning practices. These trends reflect the evolving needs of learners, advancements in technology, changes in societal dynamics, and new insights into effective pedagogical approaches. New innovations and technique pooled with Liberalization, Globalization and privatization (LPG) have accelerated the pace to change to jet speed. The support or modern system argue that the Technology is double edged word and it depends entirely on the user for its constructive or destructive applications Grate fully, that control of learning is being shifted from teachers into the hands of standout to suit their appetite and pace of learning. The teacher can now cater to more students through virtual classroom and at adjust the teacher methods for micro groups of students based on their needs. There are, a large section of students our country that are deprived of these advantages’ fighter due to a cost barrier for technology or lack of awareness. The ultimate goal of education system is to create students who can transform the world into a better place through constant learning. Teaching learning has undergone transformation in the recent decade mainly with initiative of teacher's forceful entry of technology and increasing accessibility of higher education to our population. Innovation for innovation sake is not in not the say but how it benefits the learners is the main criteria. To promote innovation national levels initiative shall be there to disseminate the innovative practices in India Innovations in India should be based on our strong roots of socialism and egalitarianism. If India has to become knowledge and technology super power only blended approaches to Teach the subject developed by all the stakeholders are to be employed which is sensitive to learner need and interest. The new trends, innovations also help these learners to be more adjustable with their teaching learning process. In this regard, this research is very helpful to develop teaching learning process. The investigator attempted to carry out a descriptive study on adaptability of new trends in higher education under the study area of South Goa district of Goa. Both primary and secondary data were collected, analyzed and interpreted them to validate formulated objectives

DEVELOPMENT OF FLOATING GASTRORETENTIVE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM BASED ON A NOVEL EXCIPIENT FOR METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE USING MIXTURE DESIGN

Objective: The present study aimed to develop a new SR metformin hydrochloride (MH) gastroretentive formulation with novel excipient (NE), which has better floatation and can be prepared with more simple pharmaceutical techniques for the treatment of diabetes Mellitus. Methods: A gastro-retentive floating matrix tablet (GFT) formulation of MH was prepared using various concentrations of PEO (Polyox WSR-303) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100M (HPMC K100 M) and Floating agent (novel excipient) to achieve desirable TFT, FLT and drug release. The wet granulation method was selected using isopropyl alcohol as a binder for the preparation of tablets. D-optimal non-simplex mixture design was used for the selection of suitable polymer concentrations and floating agents. Release kinetics was used to determine the mechanism of drug release. Results: It was observed that GFT with optimum quantities of PEO, HPMC K100M, and the floating agent showed 100 % of drug release in 24h with FT up to 24h and minimum FLT of less than 2 min. Formulation with an in vitro release profile slower to the marketed sample was prepared. Conclusion: A sustained-release (GFT) of MH tablets using PEO, HPMC K100M, and an effervescent system was successfully prepared. A GFT formulation with an in vitro release profile slower to the marketed sample that releases MH for 24h may suitable for once-daily dosing can be prepared

A Novel Approach For Face Recognition Using Fusion Of Local Gabor Patterns

For face recognition, Gabor features are effectively used. But, only a few approaches used Gabor phase features and they are performing worse than the Gabor magnitude features. To determine the potential of Gabor phase and its fusion with magnitude for face recognition, in this paper, we have proposed local Gabor XOR pattern (LGXP) operator, which encode Gabor phase. Then we introduce block-based Fisher’s linear discriminant (BFLD) for reduce dimensionality of proposed operator and at same time discriminative power also get enhanced. At last, by using BFLD we fuse Gabor phase and Gabor magnitude for face recognition. We evaluate our method for FERET database. Also, we perform comparative experimental studies of different local patterns.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i3.279

A New Fibre Optic Pulse Oximeter Probe for Monitoring Splanchnic Organ Arterial Blood Oxygen Saturation

a new continuous method of monitoring splanchnic organ oxygen saturation (SpO2) would make the early detection of inadequate tissue oxygenation feasible, reducing the risk of hypoperfusion, severe ischaemia, and, ultimately, death. In an attempt to provide such a device, a new fiber optic based reflectance pulse oximeter probe and processing system were developed followed by an in vivo evaluation of the technology on seventeen patients undergoing elective laparotomy. Photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals of good quality were obtained from the small bowel, large bowel, liver and stomach. Simultaneous peripheral PPG signals from the finger were also obtained for comparison purposes. Analysis of the amplitudes of all acquired PPG signals indicated much larger amplitudes for those signals obtained from splanchnic organs than those obtained from the periphery. Estimated SpO2 values for splanchnic organs showed good agreement with those obtained from the peripheral fibre optic probe and those obtained from a commercial device. These preliminary results suggest that a miniaturized ‘indwelling’ fibre optic sensor may be a suitable method for pre-operative and post-operative evaluation of splanchnic organ SpO2 and their health
