Recent technological breakthrough in high speed processing units and communication devices have enabled the development of high data compression schemes. This paper presents a modified scheme for Run length encoding (RLE). Run length encoding algorithm performs compression of input data based on sequences of identical values. RLE is having some limitations and they have been highlighted and discussed in detail in this paper. In RLE largest number of sequences may increase the number of bits to represents the length of each run, which may increase the size of memory stack which may results in performance degradation. For n-bit run it requires 2n memory stack. If run is greater than n bits we require 2n+1 memory stack to store the run value. An efficient coding technique, Bitstuffing has been suggested in this paper. A new bit different from the original sequence is added in between reduces the repeat length, thereby with the same stack we can represent length as well. This technique is described using VHDL and is implemented on Saprtan3 FPGA.

Two simple, sensitive, accurate, precise, rapid and economical methods were developed for the estimation of Ezetimibe and Simvastatin in solid dosage form. First method is based on simultaneous equations and second method is based on absorbance ratio method. Ezetimibe has absorbance maxima at 231.2 nm and Simvastatin has Absorbance maxima at 246.2 nm in methanol. The linearity was obtained in the concentration range 2-10 μg/ml for both Ezetimibe and Simvastatin. In the first method the concentration of the drugs were determined by using simultaneous equations and in second method, concentration of the drugs were determined by using ratio of absorbance at isoabsorptive point and at λ-max of one of the drug. The proposed method was statistically validated and found that it is simple, accurate, precise and suitable for the routine analysis of pharmaceutical formulations.Keywords

Agriculture is the backbone of human sustenance on this world. Now a days with growing population we need the productivity of the agriculture to be increased a lot to meet the demands. In olden days they used natural methods to increase the productivity, such as using the cow dung as a fertilizer in the fields. That resulted increase in the productivity enough to meet the requirements of the population. But later people started thinking of earning more profits by getting more outcome. So, there came a revolution called "Green Revolution". In this paper we implemented image processing using MATLAB to detect the weed areas in an image we took from the fields.Keywords

Cracks developed in the 90 mm thick EN 10025-6 S550 QT steel plates assembled to form a box unit. After assembly the surface cracks generated longitudinally along the elongated grains while preheating or performing ischolar_main run. Root cause analysis was conducted to investigate the reason for the failure and also how to specify the “conditions of materials on delivery” during procurement is generated. Various tests such as visual test, chemical composition, inclusion rating, microstructure, dye penetrant test and hardness tests were conducted. The investigation revealed that the failure cracks could be due to temper embrittlement due to the segregations of impurities such as tin, arsenic, phosphorus and antimony, etc. in the grain boundaries and resulted in ductile to brittle transformation when exposed in the temperature. It is observed that, depends on the concentration of Ti and N in steel, coarse and cuboidal TiN particles of several micrometers in size act as potential sites for cleavage crack initiation. Furthermore, during the steel making process if sulfur is not properly controlled, then large MnS inclusions can also form during solidification. Soft MnS inclusions elongate during the subsequent hot rolling process, which deteriorate ductility and impact toughness. Hence, it is essential to specify the J factor value and inclusion rate during the procurement of steel.Keywords

EN10025-6 S550Q is high strength steel classified under quenched and tempered (Q&T) manufacturing technique. S550Q is specially designed and used by the authors for welded steel structures for the purpose of heavy lifting and lowering. The entire processing techniques like cutting, edge preparation, welding, and bending are of major importance to the consistency of fabricated structure. This study comprises of introduction to HSS-S550Q and addresses various important variables by practically. The following main factors are taken to consideration heat input during cutting, edge preparation, and welding, cooling cycle, Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC). Stress Relieving (SR) is mandatory after weld fabrication. The first was to establish a need for SR to achieve desirable weldment properties. SR has been reported to have Complementary benefits such as tempering of WM and HAZ regions, and allowing the effusion/diffusion of hydrogen away from the weld region. Bend testing of cross-weld samples was used to qualify the ductility of the weldment before and after SR. In addition, impact, tensile and hardness properties, microstructures were quantified before and after SR.Keywords
