Providing affordable and quality Education and Healthcare are the current challenges in the developing and densely populated countries, such as India and China. The Healthcare Delivery Systems are overloaded because of the inefficient expensive systems, processes and resources. Use of Information Technology in Healthcare, especially a Tele-health medical diagnostics system, can potentially improve healthcare. The system developed offers medical diagnosis, ongoing patient care and has an ability to monitor patients remotely. This system unifies diagnostic hardware like Microscope and Vital Signs Monitor with the diagnostic software. The software consists of modules for Electronic Health Record and Disease Identification. The software has the ability to automatically identify the vital parameters and transmit the parameters to the remote doctor through broadband or wireless connectivity. The system offers simplicity and cost efficiency making it an ideal solution for use in rural areas. Currently the system is being used at few locations in India on a pilot basis and the results are very encouraging.

As the technical community is growing rapidly, our students must be prepared to be global engineers to successfully function as professional engineers in the international corporate world of the 21st century. In this competitive world, teamwork, learning ability and soft skills along with academic excellence are very much needed for the career growth of a student. In addition, our engineering students must acquire lifelong learning to be able to apply their knowledge in accordance with the new problems faced in their daily life. In that context, a project-based learning (PBL) is considered to be the best platform for the students to gain greater depth of understanding of concepts, broader knowledge base, improved communication and interpersonal/social skills, enhanced leadership skills, increased creativity, and improved writing skills. In this paper, the experience of using the technique of mini project-based learning (MPBL) as a key pedagogical method for teaching a course Advanced Data Base Management System within the context of a Master's programme is reported. The positive feedback from the students proves that the implementation of MPBL is a successful pedagogical method to prepare our students ready for the 21st century requirements.Keywords

A thickness of over 300 m of dominantly alluvial sediments in the north Gujarat plains suggest that the sedimentation took place during the late Quaternary period in a huge graben bounded by faults that are related to the Cambay basin. An ancient super fluvial system was responsible for this vast accumulation. Most of the present day rivers are the remnants of that former system and have exposed the sediments in cliff sections. The present course of the Sabarmati appears to be unrelated to the former system for much of its length. Its course is controlled by a major lineament that developed subsequent to the deposition of the entire sequence. The earlier course of the river is now represented by the river Rupen. The uplift of the Aravallis during the Mid-Late Quaternary and the eustatic sea level changes might have disrupted the older system.Keywords

The area bound by the rivers Sabarmati and Luni forming a part of North Gujarat and Southwest Rajasthan alluvial plains has preserved in its sediments and landscape various changes which have occurred in the drainage systems during the Upper Quaternary times. The present day drainage mainly cuts across the material deposited by a set of older rivers which now stand disrupted. The present day rivers are observed to have been superimposed over older river channels and dominantly follow numerous tectonic lineaments and faults of a later date. The new channels reveal and have preserved relicts of the earlier fluvial system. Geomorphic and drainage studies reveal existence of two ancient major river systems, the remnants of which are now represented by the Banas and Rupen rivers. The Banas, along with its major tributary Sipu is the sole survivor of the older fluvial system. whereas Rupen has been partially destroyed.Keywords

climate change on future potential distribution of Oriental fruit fly (OFF), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), a polyphagous pest on a wide variety of fruit crops in India. Prediction of the potential distribution of OFF was done for different time-frames (2030, 2050, 2070 and 2090) under the A1B climate change scenario (CSIRO-Mk3.0, a global climate model) using CLIMEX software. The model predicted an overall gradual decrease in terms of area suitability for OFF in India by 2090 due to increase in various stress factors to the pest. In temperate regions of the north and northeastern parts, incidence of the pest may increase due to rise in temperature coupled with decrease in cold stress. In North India, the model predicts the regions of Jammu&Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana and Punjab to be more climatically suitable for OFF by 2030 and there is an expected steady increase in suitability by 2050, 2070 and 2090. The CSIRO model for North East indicated that by 2090, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur would become highly suitable for the pest. The projected range expansion in terms of area suitability was recorded up to 100 km in temperate regions. Central and western India are projected to become progressively less suitable by 2030, 2050 and totally unsuitable by 2090. In South India, there was a slight reduction in climatic suitability for OFF in terms of ecoclimatic index over timeframes 2030, 2050, 2070, 2090 as highly suitable, optimal, suitable and marginally suitable respectively. Regression analysis was carried out using growth index obtained from CLIMEX and pest trap counts. Additionally, field level validation of the model was carried out for selected locations.Keywords

The tremendous changes in the world present both challenges and opportunities to the engineering education. Engineering students appear to be very well suited to become entrepreneurs. Economic trends and changes in the way employers organize and make decisions have led to an increased awareness of the potential value of entrepreneurship education to engineering students. In recent decades, there is a great demand for engineers who can literally build the future by developing innovative and cutting edge technologies that solve global problems and enhance the quality of life. For developing countries like India, it is necessary to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in the field of engineering education. Hence, modern engineers need to be entrepreneurial in order to understand and contribute in the context of market and business pressures. In this paper, we have presented two case studies taken up by a set of students and demonstrated how students are influenced to use entrepreneurial and innovative skills to develop software solutions for real life problems. From this study, it is observed that by introducing the concept of mini-project to solve a realistic problem, at least a couple of students can be motivated to become successful entrepreneurs in future.Keywords

Mapping of sediments beneath volcanic Traps is a highly challenging task. Here we report on the analysis of wide-angle seismic data from Trap-covered Saurashtra peninsula to address this problem. Traveltime modelling of mainly seismic refraction and some reflection phases yields basement configuration, trap and subtrappean sediment thicknesses along the Jodia-Ansador (NW-SE) profile in Saurashtra peninsula. Travel-time skip and amplitude decay in seismic refraction data indicate the presence of low-velocity sediments beneath the Traps. The result reveals two layers with Deccan Traps (4.85-5.0 km s-1) followed by Mesozoic sediments above the basement (5.8-6.1 km s-1). Using the lower bound velocity (3.2 km s-1), sediment thickness varies between 800 and 1500 m. Based on upper bound velocity (4.3 km s-1), we find both the sediment thickness and basement depth increase by 600-700 m. The thickness of sediments is more in the northwest and decreases gradually in the southeast, suggesting that the northwestern part of the profile is an important zone for hydrocarbon exploration in the Saurashtra peninsula. With the lower bound velocity of Mesozoics, we find that the basement (5.8-6.1 km s-1) is deep (~2100 m) in the northwest and shallows up near Atkot to ~1.0 km depth, and then deepens further southeast, showing the basement upwarped. The overall velocity and boundary uncertainties are of the order of ±0.15 km s-1 and ± 0.15 km respectively.Keywords

RSA is one of the safest standard algorithms, based on public-key, for providing the security in communication and networks. One of the most time consuming processes in RSA algorithm for encryption/decryption is the modular exponentiation, i.e., Pemod n, where P is the text and (e,n) is the key. This paper examines how this computation could be speeded up by using Ancient Indian Vedic Mathematics when compared with the Booth algorithms. This paper proposes the hardware implementation of RSA encryption/decryption algorithm using the sutras of Ancient Indian Vedic Mathematics and Booth multiplier. Compared to Booth multiplier, the Vedic multiplier occupies lesser area and achieves higher speed. Coding is done using Verilog-HDL and downloaded on targeted device as Virtex 5. Our proposed Vedic multiplier occupies lesser area and achieves higher speed than the previous work. Also, our proposed work is 3 times faster than the previous work when applied in RSA as is downloaded on targeted device Spartan 3.Keywords

Motorcycle riders are subjected to hand arm and whole body vibrations. Both these vibrations affect the health of the rider. This paper attempts to analyze the effects of these vibrations on heart using finite element simulation and experiments. Firstly, the hand arm and whole body vibration forces are measured by conducting experiments on different motorcycles and for various road conditions. These measured forces are applied to the finite element model of a motorcycle rider to predict the distribution of Von mises stress around heart. Secondly, the average relative heart rate, the hand arm and whole body vibration accelerations are measured with by conducting experiments on different riders with typical body mass index and for various road conditions. The variations in the vibrations magnitude and the Von mises stress around heart correlate well. The Von mises stress and heart rate are more sensitive to the hand arm vibrations than the whole body vibrations. This effect on the heart may cause a cardiac problem in the long run.Keywords

Radio spectrum for commercial mobile services continues to be scarce. Countries around the world have recognized the importance of efficient utilization of this scarce resource and have initiated regulatory and policy steps towards flexible approaches to spectrum management, including sharing of licensed spectrum, and releasing unlicensed spectrum for mobile services. Technologies for shared access and the associated standardization activities have also progressed towards possible large scale deployments. In this paper, we analyze the evolution of spectrum management policies using a causal model and indicate how the markets can lock in to either centralized or flexible approach. We also cite a use case of a flexible spectrum management approach using "spectrum band fill" option and indicate its suitability to the Indian context.Keywords

South American tomato moth, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is an invasive pest on tomato and other solanaceous crops. In general, 20 to 30 % yield loss is caused by this pest and sometimes it may result in 100% damage, if timely management interventions are not followed. Though the pest was reported in India during 2014, presently it has spread to several tomato growing states. In the present study various IPM tools have been evaluated against this pest. As a long-term strategy of resistance breeding, genotype screening was carried out for identification of resistance sources from wild and cultivated tomato genotypes showing resistance/tolerance against T. absoluta. Among the evaluated wild and cultivated tomato genotypes, Solanum pennellii (Accession, LA 1940) was identified as a resistant source against T. absoluta both under choice and no-choice bioassays and is being used for resistance breeding. Various entomopathogens (Bacillus thuringiensis, Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana and M. rileyi), egg parasitoids (Trichogramma chilonis, T. pretiosum and Trichogrammatoidea bactrae), light traps, pheromone traps, synthetic insecticides, botanical origin insecticides were also evaluated for their relative efficacy. Among the egg parasitoids T. pretiosum and among synthetic chemicals, spinetoram 12 SC@ 1.25ml/l were found very effective for the management of T. absoluta. Yellow light traps were found as an effective component for integrated management of T. absoluta. Azadirachtin 5% EC at the tested concentrations showed highest mean radial growth (24.67 mm) with relatively less inhibition (16.51%) of M. anisopliae indicating these combinations can be effectively utilised in the eco-friendly management of T. absoluta. We reported natural incidence of M. anisopliae on T. absoluta larvae, causing up to 35 per cent mortality during 2016-17.
