    Design and Implementation of High End Security based ATM Monitoring System is invented as a result of observations made in our real life incidents happening around us. This Implementation deals with prevention of ATM robbery with added high end algorithm to the existing technology found in our society. Whenever ATM theft attempt occurs, vibration produced from the machine will be sensed by attached sensor module to it. A panic switch is another module for additional security. Once Vibration is sensed or panic switch activated, a high alert message will be sent to the nearest police station and Bank Authorities using GSM module and a buzzer beep sound will occur at the same time. This system uses PIC controller based embedded system to process real time data collected using sensor and panic switch module. In addition it also restricts the number of occupiers of the machine to single within the pre defined area. This is achieved by processing 3 dimensional real time IR sensors data using ONE_AT_TIME algorithm

    Amaranth improvement in India hither to was concerned with development of high-yielding varieties, and hardly any research efforts have been made for its nutritional improvement. Keeping this in view, at Indian Institute of Horticultural Research two high-yielding amaranth varieties, Arka Samraksha and Arka Varna with high antioxidant activity, low amounts of nitrates and oxalates were developed using modified bulk method of selection from segregating population of the crosses IIHR-4 x IIHR-70 and IIHR-7 x IIHR-30 . Arka Samraksha is a high-yielding (10.9 t/ha in 30-35 days), pulling-type variety with green leaves and stem, antioxidant activity of 499mg (AEAC units) and minimum nitrate content of 27.3 mg and 1.34 g oxalates per 100 g fresh leaf weight. Arka Varna also a pulling type, high-yielding variety (10.6 t/ha in 30-35 days) with green leaves and a pink stem, high antioxidant activity of 417 mg (AEAC units), low nitrate content of 37.6 mg and 1.42 g oxalates per 100 g fresh leaf weight

    Measurements of atmospheric turbulence with the dual-beamwidth method using the MST radar at Gadanki, India

    A brief experiment was conducted during 24-29 April and 9-10 May 2002, using the MST radar at Gadanki, India, to test the dual-beamwidth method of estimating the turbulence kinetic energy (TKE). Because the beamwidth can be modified on only one polarization at a time at Gadanki, an elliptical beam was used with a modified dual-beamwidth analysis. Estimates of the TKE from the dual-beamwidth method and the traditional method are very similar in regions of light winds (<~10ms<sup>-1</sup>). In regions of stronger wind (>~15ms<sup>-1</sup>) the traditional method often gives TKE<0 because the beam-broadening correction is greater than the observed spectral width. It is suggested that some of the problems with the traditional method are due to the uncertainty in the effective width of the radar beam. In all regions the modified dual-beamwidth method gives TKE>0 on the beam parallel to the prevailing wind; on this beam the estimates depend only on the ratio of the beamwidths, which is presumably well-known, and the observed spectral widths. The values of TKE from the dual-beamwidth method are approximately constant with height at 0.2m<sup>2</sup>s<sup>-2</sup> from about 5 to 7.5km during the afternoon during both April and May (all April observations were made between 9:00 and 17:00 local time), and then decrease rapidly to about 0.02m<sup>2</sup>s<sup>-2</sup> by about 9km. The data from May extend over one full diurnal period and the diurnal range of TKE during this period is found to be about 5dB below about 12km and from about 15 to 19km, near the tropopause, with maximum values during local afternoon

    The eigenspectra of Indian musical drums

    In a family of drums used in the Indian subcontinent, the circular drum head is made of material of non-uniform density. Remarkably, and in contrast to a circular membrane of uniform density, the low eigenmodes of the non-uniform membrane are harmonic. In this work we model the drum head by a non-uniform membrane whose density varies smoothly between two prescribed values. Using a Fourier-Chebyshev spectral collocation method we obtain the eigenmodes and eigenvalues of the drum head. For a suitable choice of parameters, which we find by optimising a cost function, the eigenspectra obtained from our model are in excellent agreement with experimental values. Our model and the numerical method should find application in numerical sound synthesis

    Peculiarities and variations in the optical spectrum of the post-AGB star V448Lac=IRAS22223+4327

    Full text link
    Repeated observations with high spectral resolution acquired in 1998-2008 are used to study the temporal behavior of the spectral line profiles and velocity field in the atmosphere and circumstellar envelope of the post-AGB star V448Lac. Asymmetry of the profiles of the strongest absorption lines with low-level excitation potentials less 1eV and time variations of these profiles have been detected, most prominently the profiles of the resonance lines of BaII, YII, LaII, SiII. The peculiarity of these profiles can be explained using a superposition of stellar absorption line and shell emission lines. Emission in the (0;1) 5635A Swan band of the C2 molecule has been detected in the spectrum of V448Lac for the first time. The core of the Halpha line displays radial velocity variations with an amplitude ~8 km/s. Radial velocity variations displayed by weakest metallic lines with lower amplitudes, 1-2 km/s, may be due to atmospheric pulsations. Differential line shifts, 0 -- 8 km/s, have been detected on various dates. The position of the molecular spectrum is stationary in time, indicating a constant expansion velocity of the circumstellar shell, Vexp=15.2 km/s, as derived from the C2 and NaI lines.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures, 1 tabl

    On the origin of the various types of radio emission in GRS 1915+105

    Full text link
    We investigate the association between the radio ``plateau'' states and the large superluminal flares in GRS 1915+105 and propose a qualitative scenario to explain this association. We identify several candidate superluminal flare events from available monitoring data on this source and analyze the contemporaneous RXTE pointed observations. We detect a strong correlation between the average X-ray flux during the ``plateau'' state and the total energy emitted in radio during the subsequent radio flare. We find that the sequence of events is similar for all large radio flares with a fast rise and exponential decay morphology. Based on these results, we propose a qualitative scenario in which the separating ejecta during the superluminal flares are observed due to the interaction of the matter blob ejected during the X-ray soft dips, with the steady jet already established during the ``plateau'' state. This picture can explain all types of radio emission observed from this source in terms of its X-ray emission characteristics.Comment: Corrected typo in the author names, contents unchanged, accepted in Ap

    In 1967, the dreissinid bivalve, Mytilopsis saUei (Recluz), was first noticed in Indian waters at the Southern Lighter Channel of Visakhapatnam harbor, Andhra Pradesh, India.
