 Abstract

Depression is a serious malady. It has shown to affect people of all age groups and is a growing cause of suicides. The electrical activity of the brain is depicted through electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Studies have shown that EEG signals are a major indication of a person�s emotional state and hence are used in a huge number of studies on depression assessment. Deep learning is gaining ground in depression assessment using EEG signals. This paper summarizes the various methods used to assess depression using EEG signals, through machine and deep learning techniques.

 Abstract

An open top chamber (OTC) of 4.77 m2 experiment was conducted to study the impact of different elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide levels (500, 450 and ambient 400 ppm) on the growth and yield of pigeon pea and black gram. The study was conducted on two pulse crops i.e. pigeon pea and black gram in open top chambers (OTC) to study the impact of elevated CO2 levels on its growth performance in comparison to natural climatic conditions. There was positive impact of different elevated CO2 levels on plant growth and yield parameter. The results indicate that under varying levels of increased CO2 had a progressive increase in plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, pod length, pod weight and number of grains per pod. Maximum values were found under 500ppm CO2 level followed by 450 ppm which was significantly higher over ambient 400 ppm and natural conditions. Similarly higher yield attributes were found in pigeon pea and black gram under 500 ppm CO2 level followed by 450ppm CO2, natural conditions & ambient. Highest grain yield (120g plant-1) & straw yield was under 500ppm CO2 followed by 450ppm level, natural condition & ambient (400ppm) in both pigeon pea and black gram. The yield attributes also differed significantly. Thus the findings focussed that increasing the CO2 level up to 500 ppm may be beneficial in terms of increasing the productivity of these pulses in semi-arid regions of Gwalior district of Madhya Pradesh.

 Abstract

Geo polymer concrete is an alternative to cement concrete. Geo polymer concrete is produced by pozzalonic material such as fly ash ,GGBS etc, alkaline solution (sodium hydroxide ( NaOH )+sodium silicate(NaSiO3))with various molar concentration. Based on literature fine aggregate(river sand), coarse aggregate of size 20mm with elevated temperature curing is to be used. In this study, it is proposed to use granite waste instead of fine aggregate as a partial replacement. Then the strength characteristics and durability test are to be performed and the values will be compared with control concrete.

Abstract: Caesalpinia bonducella (L.) Roxb. is a perennial climber belonging to the family Caesalpniaceae. The present study deals with the quantification of a unique homoisoflavanoid in the various plant organs and developmental stages of Caesalpinia bonducella (L.) Roxb. The methanolic extracts of various plant organs of Caesalpinia bonducella (L.) Roxb. viz root, stem, leaf, flower, pod, seed coat and seed kernel were subjected to HPLC analysis for the quantification of bonducellin. The bonducellin was present in flower, seed coat and seed kernel. The seed coat and seed kernel showed 0.001 � 0.31 �g/g DW and 0.004 � 0.27 �g/g DW. Maximum amount of bonducellin 1.834 � 0.04 �g/g DW was reported in the flowers of Caesalpinia bonducella (L) Roxb. The bonducellin was absent in other plant organs. The methanolic extracts of various developmental stages of Caesalpinia bonducella (L.) Roxb. viz 30 days old seedling plants, 60 days old seedling plants, 90 days old seedling plants, 120 days of the seedling plants, shoot before flowering, shoot at flowering and shoot after flowering were subjected to HPLC for the quantification of bonducellin. The amount of bonducellin in 30 days old seedling plants was 0.003 � 0.06 �g/g DW While it was 0.002 � 0.74 �g/g DW in 60 days old seedling plants. The seedling plants of 90 days old produced 0.001 � 0.32 �g/g DW while it was 0.002 � 0.93 �g/g DW in 120 days old seedling plants. The extract of shoot before flowering did not showed the presence of bonducellin. The shoot extract of plant at flowering and after flowering showed 0.013 � 0.40 �g/g DW and 0.013 � 0.40 �g/g DW bonducellin respectively. This study reveals the suitable plant organs and developmental stages of the plant to be used for the extraction of bonducellin which imparts many pharmacological activities of the plant.

 Abstract

In the proposed method, the intensity component is obtained adaptively from the up-sampled MS image at first. Different from traditional IHS-based methods, we subsequently propose a multi-scale guided filter strategy to filter the PAN image to achieve more detail information. Finally, the total detail map is injected into each band of the up-sampled MS image to obtain the fused image by a model-based algorithm, in which an improved injection gains approach is proposed to control the quantity of the injected detail information. Among these, wavelet transform becomes an important aspect of image fusion research with the merits of multi-scale and multi-resolution. In an algorithm of multi-sensor image fusion using wavelets and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is proposed and comparison of image fusion with different techniques based on fusion quality performance metrics is done. Multi-resolution wavelet transforms provides good localization in both spatial and frequency domains. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) provides directional information in decomposition levels and contains unique information at different resolutions. Wavelets are suffered with shift variant and edges are not produced in the fused image. Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) solves this problem which is shift invariant. Image fusion using SWT with higher levels of decomposition provides better fusion results. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can provide more spatial information and preserve more spectral information compared with several state-of-the-art fusion methods in both subjective and objective evaluations. A fast and effective image fusion method is proposed for creating a highly informative fused image through merging multiple images. The proposed method is based on a two-scale decomposition of an image into a base layer containing large scale variations in intensity, and a detail layer capturing small scale details.

 Abstract

A great convergence between the work and non-work aspects can create a win-win situation for employees working for any organization. Work-life balance is compulsory for Engineering and Medical professions as well as for all those professions which include stressful works. By using work-life balance practices in real-world work-life conflicts can be reduced and positive appraisals of employees� increases within the organization. Developing and maintaining a culture that enables and supports the opportunity to have a desired work-life balance promotes the benefits of the employee and organization as well. It is becoming very important that work-life balance policies should be included in strategic plans of organizations as it helps organizations gain a competitive edge through been able to attract and retain individuals with great skills and experience. The present paper is an attempt to review various studies that have been carried out by researchers related to different aspects of work-life balance and based on these studies to document the strategies that could improve organizational performance.

 Abstract

Effective cost and time management play a crucial role to attain the project success within the industry. Various cost and time management techniques which help to regulate cost and time overrun within the construction project.It is commonly accepted that construction cost, time and quality performance has been considered the key success factors for a construction project. With the increasing use of innovative contracts in highway construction, the connection between construction cost and time has become more crucial than ever. This study explores the functional relationship between highway construction cost and time.This study is to analyze the factors that will cause overrun of the planned cost, allocated resources and scheduled time of infrastructure engineering projects.
