A Generalization of the Brocard Circle
In this article, we provide a generalization of the Brocard circle and the
Brocard triangles. The generalization arises from considering the Miquel points
of two inscribed triangles having a common circumcircle. We also present
various properties of the Brocard triangles, which lead to a generalization of
the Steiner and Tarry points.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
ADAPTIVE PRIVACY POLICY PREDICTION OF USER UPLOADED IMAGES ON CONTENT SHARING SITES
Usage of social media’s increased considerably in today world which enables the user to share their personal information like images with the other. This improved technology leads to privacy violation where the users are sharing the large volumes of images across more number of peoples. To provide security for the information, automated annotation of images are introduced which aims to create the meta data information about the images by using the novel approach called Semantic annotated Markovian Semantic Indexing(SMSI) for retrieving the images. To achieve this privacy settings for the people images we are using Adaptive Privacy Policy Prediction system. The proposed system automatically annotates the images using hidden Markov model and features are extracted by using color histogram and Scale-invariant feature transform (or SIFT) descriptor method. After annotating these images, semantic retrieval of images can be done by using Natural Language processing tool namely Word Net for measuring semantic similarity of annotated images in the database. Experimental result provides better retrieval performance when compare with the existing system
Effect of different methods of planting and spacing on growth and yield of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton)
Experiments cop.ducted at Sakaleshpur (Karnataka, India) to study the effect of different methods of planting and spacing on growth and yield of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) indicated that trench method of planting (60 cm x 30 cm) at 2 m x 1 m spacing resulted in significantly better growth and yield.

Effect of pruning mother suckers on daughter sucker production in cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum M.) seedlings
The effect of pruning mother suckers on daughter sucker production, growth and development of nursery seedlings of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is reported. The number of suckers produced was significantly higher in seedlings pruned at 5 months of age followed by seedlings pruned at 3 months of age. The study indicated that pruning was not helpful in in creasing biomass and hence it may not be necessary to remove apical meristem (mother sucker pruning) before transplanting of nursery seedlings.

Standardisation of rooting media for propagation of vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Andr.)
Evaluation of various rooting media indicated that vermicompost and decomposed coir pith were ideal for rooting and multiplication of vanilla (Vanilla planifolia).

Improvement of two traditional Basmati rice varieties for bacterial blight resistance and plant stature through morphological and marker-assisted selection
Bacterial blight (BB) is a major production threat to Basmati, the aromatic rice prized for its unique quality. In order to improve the BB resistance of two elite, traditional BB-susceptible Basmati varieties (Taraori Basmati and Basmati 386), we utilized the strategy of limited marker-assisted backcrossing for introgression of two major BB resistance genes, Xa21 and xa13, coupled with phenotype-based selection for improvement of their plant type and yield. Improved Samba Mahsuri, an elite high-yielding, fine-grain-type BB-resistant rice variety served as donor for BB resistance. Backcross-derived improved Basmati lines at BC1F5 possessing a single resistance gene (i.e. either Xa21 or xa13) displayed moderate resistance to BB, while lines possessing both Xa21 and xa13 showed significantly higher levels of resistance. Two-gene pyramid lines (Xa21 + xa13) possessing good grain and cooking quality similar to their respective traditional Basmati parents, short plant stature (<110 cm plant height) and higher grain yield than the recurrent parent(s) were identified and advanced. This work demonstrates the successful application of marker-assisted selection in conjunction with phenotype-based selection for targeted introgression of multiple resistance genes into traditional Basmati varieties along with improvement of their plant stature and yield
Modern MT: A New Open-Source Machine Translation Platform for the Translation Industry
Modern MT (www.modernmt.eu) is a three-year Horizon 2020 innovation action (2015–2017) to develop new open-source machine translation technology for use in translation production environments, both fully automatic and as a back-end in interactive post-editing scenarios. Led by Translated srl, the project consortium also includes the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), the University of Edinburgh, and TAUS B.V. Modern MT has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 645487 (call ICT-17-2014)
