AJAY KUMAR SINGH#, N. P. SINGH and D. C. AGARWAL

Abstract : In the present paper we shall discuss unsteady flow with heat and mass transfer, of an incompressible, electrically conducting, viscous fluid through a time dependent porous medium past an infinite porous vertical plate with constant suction/injection in the presence of a uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the flow region. It is considered that the plate is subjected to a constant suction / injection velocity normal to the plate and the flow is through a

non-homogeneous time dependent porous medium. The solutions for velocity field, temperature field and concentration field are obtained using perturbation technique. The effects of various parameters on primary velocity and secondary velocity are numerically discussed with the help of figures. The effects of important parameters on in skin-friction due to primary and secondary velocities, rate of heat and mass transfer are discussed with the help of tables.

A.K. Sharma1, Manmohan Kumar2 and Nirmal Singh3

Abstract : The qualitative  as  well as quantitative estimation of multielements including the trace elements present in the material remains and coins found during the archaeological excavations and explorations was carried out on 55 samples using X-ray fluorescence technique. The samples belong to 500-800 AD period. Some of the samples were of 58 B.C. period. It is observed that copper was the main and dominating metal used, whereas tin and silver were used as trace elements. Some coins were also found containing iron and lead. These studies are helpful in assigning the periods and metallurgical techniques adopted for minting these coins. Also, the presence and percentage of specific trace element/s differentiate between genuine and forged coins.

Elevating Fingerprint Verification System

Chander Kant1, Parvinder Singh2 and Rajender Nath3

Abstract : This paper is concerned with increasing the performance of fingerprint verification system. Verification is 1:1 matching process, establishing the validity of a claimed identity by comparing a verification template to an enrollment template. Verification requires that an identity be claimed, after which the individual's enrollment template is located and compared with the verification template.          

            This paper presents an approach that improves existing conventional fingerprint verification system. The approach is useful when fingerprint verifications are made at large scale level. In the proposed method, first the dimensions of Finger/ Thumb are matched while scanning the fingerprint for verification. The minute points are calculated and matched further only when the dimensions are matched. This technique improves FAR (False Accept Rate) and Total Response Time of conventional fingerprint verification systems. The approach presented here is based on hand/ finger geometry verification systems as the geometry-based systems have very fast response time.

Use of Metrics in Reengineering Process

Hardeep Singh, Sumesh Sood1 and Arvind Kalia2

Abstract : Software metrics support various reengineering tasks. Software metrics helps in finding the useful and useless components of the software. They help in understanding of the legacy system and can often finds hints about design flaws that are obstructing the modification and the extension of the system. With the help of metrics one can estimate the cost of reengineering process and compare it with new software development. Metrics can help to provide easy access to meaningful information about the source code without requiring the software engineer to read through the entire source code. Instead information given by metrics can be used to make a more efficient study of the source code based on the points of interest indicated by the metrics result. The purposed rainfall model is used as candidate model of this text.

In the model shortages are allowed and backlogging rate is variable and depended on the waiting time for the next replenishment. The results for the model with deterioration rate and shortages are considered. Sensitivity of the decision variables to changes in the parameter values is examined and effects of these changes on the optimal policy are discussed. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the developed model and the solution procedure.

 

Flow of a Visco-elastic fluid through an annulus

RITA CHOUDHURY and HRIDI RANJAN DEB

Abstract : The flow of a visco-elastic fluid through an annulus has been studied under the assumption that the inner surface of the annulus is a smooth rigid cylinder while the outer surface is flexible cylinder whose radius is varying with time as well as with axial distance. The governing equations have been solved by using regular perturbation technique, taking variation in the outer surface as perturbation parameter. The boundary conditions at the outer surface are suitably amended with the use of Taylor’s series expansion. The dimensionless shearing stress and volume rate of flow have been obtained at various sections of annulus and these results have been numerically worked out for different values of parameters involved in the solution. The shearing stress acting on outer surface and parallel to z-axis at various sections of the annulus have been presented graphically for various values of visco-elastic parameters with the combination of other flow parameters.

A.K. Mathur and K. K. Mishra

Abstract : The unsteady MHD flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal parallel non-conducting plates, where the lower one is a stretching sheet and the upper one is an oscillating porous plate is studied in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Fluid motion is caused by the stretching of the lower sheet and a constant suction is applied at the upper plate which is oscillating in its own plane. The stretching velocity of the sheet is assumed to be a linear function of distance along the channel. The expressions relating to the velocity distribution are obtained and effect of different values of various physical parameters are calculated numerically and shown graphically.

Soret effect due to natural convection between heated vertical plates in a horizontal small magnetic field

B. R. SHARMA and R. N. SINGH1

Abstract : The effect of a small uniform applied horizontal magnetic field on separation of a binary mixture for the case of the fully developed natural convection of a fluid between two heated vertical walls is investigated. Neglecting the

induced electric field the equations governing the motion, temperature and concentration are solved analytically by series expansion in terms of a dimensionless parameter measuring buoyancy force. The solution obtained for concentration distribution is plotted against the width of the channel. It is found that the temperature gradient as well as dimensionless number measuring the buoyancy force retard the species separation of binary mixture. In the central part the rarer and lighter component of the binary mixture increases with the decrease in the value of the magnetic parameter measuring the magnetic field strength but reverse effect is found near the plates.

Unsupervised image classification using finite truncated Gaussian mixture model

1Srinivas Yarramalle and  Srinivas Rao K.2

Abstract : Image Segmentation is a Prime desiderata of Image Analysis.  Recently much work has been reported in literature regarding Model Based Image Segmentation.  Among these models the Finite Gaussian Mixture Model with EM algorithm is considered to be more recent and accurate.  However, in this approach the number of segments that an image can be divided is taken through a priori probability.  If the assumptions regarding the number of segments and the probability distribution for pixels in the segments are not suitably chosen  then the classifier may not serve the purpose efficiently.  Hence in this paper, an attempt is made to develop and analyze a Finite Mixture Truncated Gaussian Model with  EM  algorithm, in  which the number  of  segments  are  selected through the  K-means realignment algorithm. The performance evaluation of this classifier is done through Signal to Noise Ratio and Root Mean Squared Error.  This classifier retrieves the images more accurately than the Finite Gaussian Mixture Classifier.       

 

A Mathematical Study of Strategic Frame Work for Productivity Improvement in Steel Industries through Automatic Dimensional Measurements of Steel Products

Ravindra Sharma*  and G.P. Chhalotra*

Abstract : Steel Plants some time face the shortage of Input and store of the product is not sold properly. These two events form a strategic planning, for steel Industries. The steel industry is assumed as a system with a large number of elements or components. One can form a Fuzzy set F(z) using these elements and their elementhoods between 0 and 1. The mutual coupling, interaction, co-ordination ,co-operation, synchronism can help to derive Fuzzy grades of truth for each element. The contribution of each element of the industry can be described in a Fuzzy set with their Fuzzy grades of truth. The inputs are land, labour, capital and organization in the Economic system as and output is the Fuzzy productivity the decision Fuzzy productivity as the controlled by the constraint.       

The productivity can be controlled by the constraints. The complementary function can be used as the controller. A Fuzzy logic dead beat controller is used to control the productivity and the automatic dimensional measurements of the products are encouraged. The dimensional automatic measurements will be another output. This method will be computerized to measure the parameters of the product. These parameter will be density, volume, weight, area, holes, squares, plates, nuts, bolts, sheets, rails, wheels and other finished goods and articles. The cost of the products are also calculated automatically by the computers.            Steel Industries run on the random planning and working without any systematic modeling using mathematics and system theory. There is a great loss is such industries due to lack of control parameters. Here a model is presented to increase the productivity of the steel industries using Fuzzy logic systems and neural networks. All the mechanical and electrical system can be transformed to the neural network and Fuzzy system. The static and dynamic behavior  of the steel industry is described under the Fuzzy logic universe of discourse. Every Fuzzy system has a dual function which can be used to control the output of the system. In Fuzzy logic this is called a constraint of an objective.

Transition probability of enrollment figures

Ugbe, Thomas A.1, Akpan, Stephen S.2, Udoh, Mfon E.3 and Ekabua, Obenten O.4

Abstract : The paper deals with transition probability, a special type of conditional probability used in studying many life processes in which the likelihood of changing from one 'state' to another depends solely on the present 'state'. The goal here is to calculate the likelihood of transiting from one state to another and to make forecast as regards the trend of such transition in the long run. This was demonstrated with an illustrative data (student enrollment in selected secondary schools in Calabar Metropolis).      

The probabilities were found to be very high, which in effect means that the number of steps before the system will converge to a ‘steady state’ will be minimal. The result shows that the transition matrix is non-ergodic.        

Key words : Conditional probability, transition probability, steady state, enrollment, Markov process, convergence.

Abstract : Component Based development has been widely accepted in both academia and industry for building software with reusable components. With the need to produce larger and more complex software systems, the use of reusable components has become increasingly imperative. A component is a self-

contained piece of software that has open interfaces and provides clear functionality. Component based software development is expected to at the forefront of new approaches to the construction of large and complex software systems. As software is growing increasingly complex, so  too the effort required to produce it, on this account the new component based software development model is proposed. Attempts to rationalize component-based development have to recognize thal the construction of software system is complex mulitifaceted actively. These activities, among others, are encompassed by a software life cycle, put forwarded in this study. This new model provides guidance for the major phases to be followed during development of software.

MHD Oscillatory Free Convective Flow and Heat Transfer through a Porous Medium with Constant Suction and Heat Sink

N. Ahmed and D.P. Barua

Abstract : The problem of two dimensional oscillatory convective flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium bounded by an infinite vertical porous plate in presence of a heat sink is discussed, when the plate temperature varies periodically with time. A uniform magnetic field is assumed to be applied transversely to the direction of the flow, the plate being subjected to a constant suction velocity. The magnetic Reynolds number is assumed to be small so that the induced magnetic field can be neglected. Discussion is confined to the small Eckert number E.         

The expressions for the skin friction at the plate in the direction of the flow, rate of heat transfer in terms of the Nusselt number from the plate to the fluid, the velocity field and the temperature field are obtained in non-dimensional forms. The amplitudes and the phases of the fluctuating parts of the skin friction and heat transfer at the plate are demonstrated in graphs for different values of the parameters involved.

Investigations on 24,500 km Long-haul Path-Averaged Soliton Transmission Link at 10 & 20 Gbit/s with Higher-order Dispersion at Varied Chirp

Ajay K. Sharma, Manoj Kumar* and T. S. Kamal#

Abstract : In this paper, we have investigated the performance of long haul path-averaged soliton transmission link including the effect of second- and third-order dispersion terms at varied chirp. In this paper the varied chirp is considered keeping in view the inadvertent frequency chirp imposed on all practical sources of short optical pulses. The investigations reveal that the system is capable of transmitting a pulse upto the distance of 24,500 km at bitrate of 10 and 20 Gbit/s. Further, the investigations have been carried out by varying the chirp factor in the range 0-1 and 0-0.4 for 10 and 20 Gbit/s respectively to demonstrate the robustness of the long haul soliton link. The observations establish that the pulse width (FWHM) remain within the optimal range even at the transmission distance of 24,500 kms. It has been observed that the soliton pulse remain stable up to the chirp factor of 0.5 and 0.3 in case of 10 and 20 Gbit/s respectively.
