 Abstract

Traf?c accidents are particularly serious on a rainy day, a dark night, an overcast and/or rainy night, a foggy day, and many other times with low visibility conditions. Present vision driver assistance systems are designed to perform under good-natured weather conditions . Classi?cation is a methodology to identify the type of optical characteristics for vision enhancement algorithms to make them more ef?cient. To improve machine vision in bad weather situations , a multi-class weather classi?cation method is presented based on multiple weather features and supervised learning. First, underlying visual features are extracted from multi-traf?c scene images, and then the feature was expressed as an eight-dimensions feature matrix. Second, two supervised learning algorithms are used to train classi?ers. The analysis shows that extracted features can accurately describe the image semantics , and the classi?ers have high recognition accuracy rate and adaptive ability. The proposed method provides the basis for further enhancing the detection of anterior vehicle detection during night time illumination changes, as well as enhancing the driver�s ?eld of vision on a foggy day.

 Abstract

Since the wheel was invented back in the Stone Age, it was the primary component used in all forms of mechanical transportation. Even today it is the component of choice for almost any type of moving machine like cars. However, the wheel has always had a major disadvantage with short instant elevation changes like stairs. For most uses, climbing stairs or steep jagged rock piles is not a problem which is why the wheel is still almost always used. For the other applications, people looked at animal and human legs which are already proven to work effectively on this type of terrain. The two most effective leg mechanisms are currently Joe Klann�s mechanism which resembles a spider leg and Theo Jansen�s mechanism which resembles a human leg. We have chosen Joe Klann mechanism which has more advantage than Jansen mechanism. The main objective of our paper is to replace the function of wheel with an alternative in order to overcome the difficulty of travelling in uneven terrain. This paper is useful in hazardous material handling, clearing minefields or secures an area without putting anyone at risk.

 Abstract

Petals of Blood depicts the disparity, hypocrisy and infidelity of elite classes towards the poor peasants and the workers in post-independence Kenya. The work is a derogatory condemnation of corruption and gluttony of Kenya's political, economic and social elite, who even after regaining independence are perpetuating the social injustice and economic inequity, the very features of colonial repression. The novel is a bitter critique of the economic system of capitalism and its destructive, alienating effects on conventional Kenyan civilization.

 Abstract

Today teachers in higher learning institutions are provided with a broad range of new teaching experience through web based approaches to teaching and learning which is not possible before through the traditional approach to the classroom. Now higher education students� wants web based learning online studies. The present study is an attempt in this direction to study on Usage of the web-based learning by undergraduate students of The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. The survey method was used to collect the data. The prepared questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate students who were studying in The Maharaja Sayajirao university of Baroda, Vadodara. From the findings of the feasibility study, it was understood that undergraduate students using the computer and internet for their educational purpose. Findings of the study revealed that the main reasons for using the internet were educational. A wide variety of usage of computer and internet was found among undergraduate students from being on paying fees, to collect study material, Use of plagiarism checker to reduce and so on.

 Abstract

Weaning food is a gradual introduction of solid and semisolid food to the infant. Along with breast milk infant requires more nourishment. Weaning food provided to the infant from the age of 5 months must include all the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It should be reach in protein, iron, calcium and calories to fulfill their daily energy requirement. Weaning food provides additional amount for the growth and development of the infant. This paper highlights the research work carried out on preparation of infant food using different raw materials and worked on various parameters such as nutritional values, sensory & analytical evaluation, physical characteristics and other important aspects.

 Abstract

Malachite Green has been used as a photosensitized in photogalvanic cell for solar energy conversion. EDTA was used as an electronic donor (reductant) and sodium lauryl sulphate (surfactant) was used as an anionic micelle for greater photoejection of electrons. The photopotential and photocurrent without surfactant was found to be 568 mV and 102 mV respectively whereas with surfactant their values were found to be 619 mV and 111 �A respectively. The effect of various parameters on the electrical output of the cell has been studied. The current voltage (i-V) characteristics of the cell has also been observed. Performance of the cell was determined in dark at its power point.
