Two Degree-Of-Freedom Camera Support System

A surveillance camera is used to observer and record the surroundings. There are many types of existing surveillance camera and each of them has their own specifications made to suit their respective purposes. For example, there are fixed, 1-degree-of- freedom (DOF) and2-DOF cameras. As for a moving camera, it is essential for it to be able to move freely so that it can capture the target object in awider range. The camera also should be able to be controlled wirelessly to give a better practicality to the user. Based on the specifications, this project is constructed to overcome these problems. A 2-DOF camera support system is to be created which can be controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth. The support will e made with two motors that can pan and tilt the camera. The user will need to download an application which has o screen control into their gadgets and this can be connected to the Arduino which controls the motors. The Arduino will process the command from the user and will move the right motor to execute the command. This project will help the user to control the surveillance camera from a distance wirelessly and have at least a 360B0; pan view and 90B0; tilt view

Development of Voice Recognition for Student Attendance

Development of voice recognition for student attendance system is beneficial in many ways It helps the lecturer in administrative the attendance of their student with efficiency This is because students always cheat with their attendancy by signing on behalf of their friend who did not attend class With this project voice biometric is used as a medium for student to mark their attendance Cheating among students will be prevented because like fingerprints each voice is different The objectives of this project are to study and understand the properties understand the properties of speaker recognition and to analyze the effectiveness of using Euclidean distance feature for speaker recognition Databases of 26 volunteers were collected consisting of only male The report result is tabulated Three types of analysis were done first same train is used as test data reported 100 correct The remaining two analyses used different test data recording Volunteers use the same sentence as test data reported 76 92 correct Lastly volunteers used their name and the correct percentage is 46 1

Gender Differences in Undergraduate Physics Courses: A Comparative Study of Persistence

We have investigated the difference in persistence between male and female students while taking undergraduatephysics courses. To quantify the persistence of a certain group of students, we have defined 'persistence index' as the inverseof the decrease rate of the number of that group of students while taking a specific course. We have collected the data fromthree consecutive workshops on various topics of physics. After plotting the number of participations against the number ofdays attended, we have calculated the decrease rates and persistence indices for both male and female student groups on eachworkshop and compared the persistence indices on a bar diagram. The comparative statistics show that the persistence indicesof female student groups are significantly higher than that of male student groups. This leads us to the conclusion that thefemale students are more persistent than male students while taking an undergraduate physics course.Comment: The article is accepted by Science Journal of Education and will be published in Feburary 2017, Science Journal of Education, Science Publishing Group, 201

Trend of Microcredit in Bangladesh: A Study on Government and Non-Government Institutions and Banks.

The microcredit movement began as an action-research by Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus has quickly become a global phenomenon, attracting more than 100 million borrowers world-wide. This program started mid-eighties and their activities increased noticeably higher after 1990. Although non-banking institutions involved in micro finance activities in earlier now nationalized commercial banks, specialized banks and private commercial banks have also started this program in different forms. The study has found that the number of licensed microcredit institutions and their branches are incising year to year. Number of borrowers was 18.89 million in 2009 which become 23.11 million in 2016. In this period the amount of disbursed loan increased by 155.17% (BDT 306.72 billion to BDT 782.67 billion) which is a notable evidence for the growth of this sector. The micro financing of the nationalized and private commercial banks is also found in increasing trend. Up to 2002 the public commercial and specialized banks are distributed BDT 11237.19 crore and this cumulative amount is become BDT 32822.17 crore up to June 2016.
