Unsteady MHD flow of a dusty fluid through a circular pipe
K. Elangovan and Nirmala P. Ratchagar
Abstract
: In this paper, the unsteady flow of a dusty viscous incom-pressible electrically conducting fluid through a circular pipe is investigated. A constant pressure gradient in the axial direction and a uniform magnetic field directly perpendicular to the flow direction is applied. The effect of dust is described by two parameters f and t, the mass concentration parameter 'f' is a measure of the concentration of dust particles and interaction parameter is a measure of the rate at which the velocity of dust particles adjusts to changes in the fluid velocity and depends upon the size of the individual particles possible limiting cases for t<<1 and t >>1 which corresponds to the case of fine dust and coarse dust respectively. The flow analysis is carried out using differential geometry techniques and analytical solutions of the problem are obtained, with the help of Laplace transform technique. The effect of the magnetic field parameter M, the size of dust particles and the time on velocity, volumetric flow rates and skin friction are determined and discussed with the help of graphs.

Key word : Pipe, Hydromagnetic flow, dusty fluid.

The velocity distribution, the relative apparent viscosity and flux for blood and micro-organisms are calculated as function of couple-stress parameter, pulsatile Reynold's number at different phase angles. The velocity is maximum in the core region. The expressions for velocity of blood and microorganisms, flow rate, apparent viscosity, phase-lag between flow rate and pressure gradient will be derived.

Abstract : For a graph G = (V,E), a set D Í V is a strong dominating set if every vertex v in V - D has a neighbour u in D such that the degree of u is not smaller than the degree of v. The minimum cardinality of a strong dominating set of G is the strong domination number, gs(G). The strong bondage number bs(G) of a nonempty graph G is the minimum cardinality among all sets of edges E' Í E for which gs(G - E') > gs(G). In this paper we study the strong cobondage number bsc(G) of a nonempty graph G to be the minimum cardinality among the sets of edges E' Í E () for which

gs(G+E 0) < gs(G). Sharp bounds are obtained for bsc(G). And the exact values are determined for several classes of graphs.

Abstract
: In this paper, a simple deterministic mathematical model is proposed to study the transmission of HIV/AIDS in a population with variable size structure. The model is applicable to a population of homosexual males with constant immigration rate and natural mortality rate. The model has been studied qualitatively using stability theory. It is shown that the positive non-trivial equilibrium is always locally stable but it may become globally stable under certain conditions showing that the disease becomes endemic due to constant migration of the population into the community.

Application of new fuzzy preference relation in car failure diagnosis system
Manoj Sharma1and Rajesh Shrivastava2
Abstract : Decision making preferences to certain criteria usually focus on positive degrees without considering the negative degrees. However, in real life we came across more frequently with problems related to our Car, valuation of faults becomes more comprehensive if negative degrees are considered concurrently. Preference is expected to be more effective when considering both positive and negative degrees of preference to evaluate the best decision. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose the conflicting bi-fuzzy preference relations in decision making by utilization of a modified novel score function. The conflicting bi fuzzy preference relation is obtained by intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations. Releasing the intuitionistic condition by taking into account positive and negative degrees simultaneously and utilizing the novel score function are the main modifications to establish the proposed preference model. The proposed model is tested with a numerical example and proved to be simple and practical.

Key words: Fuzzy preference relations, score function, conflicting bi fuzzy, decision making.

Abstract : A fuzzy system can uniformly approximate any real continuous function on a compact domain to any degree of accuracy. Such results can be viewed as an existence of optimal fuzzy systems. Li-Xin Wang discussed a similar problem using Gaussian membership function and Stone-Weierstrass Theorem. He established that fuzzy systems with product inference, centroid defuzzification and Gaussian membership functions are capable of approximating any real continuous function on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy. In this paper we study a similar approximation problem by using exponential membership functions.

S. Sasidhar Babu, 2M. Vinaya Babu and 3N.V. Kalyankar
Abstract
: This paper reviews the different information retrieval models that can be used to represent information from digital library. It also describes document retrieval from the digital library, followed by experimental analysis of various traditional IR models like Boolean model, Vector model, Probabilistic model on a sample corpus. We present the Private Digital Library (PDL) project that represents a service of the Corporate Digital Library (CDL) prototype. The main ideas underlying this project are the following. When a user is looking for documents that he already retrieved in the past, he has to repeat the search procedure and solve the same problems he encountered in the past access. On the contrary, consider the possibility for the user to store documents in a private library. In this case, he will have the chance to retrieve the documents of interest more easily and quickly. It may also be the case that the user has not a clear understanding of what he is looking for. Moreover, he might not know exactly the library content and organization. This paper also discusses way of representing index terms in form of indices so that they can be searched later. Thus, he needs for assistance to suggest him what to look for and how to query the system. A method to store and catalogue documents according to personal criteria might help to overcome these problems.

Key words : Cataloguer, Query Suggester, Information Retrieval.

Comparison of similarity measure for web document clustering
Gunjan Ansari
Abstract
: With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web (www), it becomes a critical issue to design and organize the vast amounts of on-line documents on the web according to their topic. Even for the search engines it is very important to group similar documents in order to improve their performance when a query is submitted to the system. Clustering is useful for taxonomy design and similarity search of documents on such a domain.

Similarity or distance measures play important role in the performance of clustering algorithms. This paper compares three term based similarity measures for web document clustering. The similarity measures used are Euclidean distance, cosine measure and jaccard measure. The clustering algorithm used is the so-called k-means clustering to cluster web documents. These three different similarity measures are used to find the similarity between documents. The clusters are formed based on their similarity measure calculation using k-means clustering algorithm. Overall similarity measure is used to evaluate the clusters formed using different similarity measure. Tested with web data, we observe that the Euclidean measure outperforms the other similarity measures in clustering accuracy.

NOOR MAIZURA MOHAMMAD NOOR and RAZIF BIN
Abstract : DNA TRACERS is developed to assist in solving violent crime using forensics method. It is an experimental approach to aid the process of investigating crime by treating cases and subjects of the case as the nodes that might be linked to each other using DNA matching. The relation between the subjects of the cases and cases itself is defined by their DNA frequency and likelihood ratio. DNA TRACERS analyze each cases and subjects using non-linear method to further improve investigation by finding any possible relation between distinct cases, which is not implemented as an automated process in current practice. These relations are depicted in the form of graphical diagram which is easy to interpret by end-user. Statistical graph and score table for convicted offenders is calculated based on several criteria. It is provided in order to support the process of decision making. Mechanism procedure in DNA TRACERS made it possible to separate between forensics unit and investigative unit as different entities. Both entities are working together to solve cases with controlled access to their authorized database. DNA TRACERS support structured data format for casework, case subject and case analysis record. Built in security and strict data transfer control is implemented to ensure the integrity of the system and subsystems. Generated report automation with standardize format will become easier for different investigative unit do collaboration to solve crime investigations.

Key words : case chain, computer-aided investigation, DNA analysis, DNA TRACERS, forensic, investigation.
