The value added services not only helps a bank to reduce costs but also helps it to retain its valuable customers. As far as customers are concerned, this facility enables the customer to bank anywhere, at any time and in any condition. Creation of Value Added Service facilities involve very huge investment; in order to improve the operational efficiency of these facilities the banks should encourage the usage of value added services among the customers. In this context a study was undertaken to understand the awareness and adoption of Value Added Service among the customers by analysing data collected from 80 sample respondents through personal interview method using Percentage analysis, RBQ, Chi-square test and Probit analysis. The results of the study revealed that majority of customers, who aware of value added services were young, graduated and most of them were self-employed. Education, monthly income and occupational status were positively influenced the awareness level of value added services. Time saving and comport in using the technology was the important factors influenced the adoption of value added services.Keywords

Marigold gained popularity amongst farmer and flower dealers on account of its easy culture, wide adaptability, attractive colour, shape, size and good keeping quality. Lack of technical know-how of scientific flower cultivation among the growers and high level of postharvest losses, lack of awareness on market opportunities, lack of timely and precise price information were the major missing links in the marigold value chain in India. To address all those missing links in the marigold value chain Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), proposed a project entitled 'Value chain on flowers for domestic and export markets' to the NAIP, with the aim of contributing to the promotion of the nation's floriculture industry. The project period is September 2008 to June 2012 and it is operated in the Department of Floriculture and Landscaping. R. Rangasamy one of the farmer in the project area, marigold is the major source of income for his family and his livelihood depends mainly on the marigold farming. Since, he is having ten years of experience in marigold farming he says that over the year the yield marigold was reduced to 4-5 tonnes per acre due to indiscriminate use of pesticide, fungicides and fertilizer. Before NAIP intervention he received very low price (Rs. 2-3 per kg.) due to exploiting nature of market channel. After NAIP intervention the farmer undergone different training programs related to production, post-harvest and marketing aspects and adopted most of the technologies recommended by the NAIP scientist. Because of the adoption of advanced technologies he got the yield of 10-13 tonnes per acre. The farmer received daily price information through the cell phone that was disseminated by the NAIP scientists based on which he is able to get correct price from the buyer in the market. The farmer was entered into the contract farming with AVT natural Pvt. Ltd. who buys the marigold for xanthophylls extraction. Under this arrangement the farmer gets assured price of Rs. 6 per kg. of marigold, timely inputs and consultancy services from the company. Now the farmer was reaping the benefit of Rs. 2-3 per kg. as net profit from the Marigold farming due to intervention of NAIP.Keywords

The use of cloud computing has increased rapidly in many organizations and it also deployed in technologies like 3G, 4G and pervasive applications. Ensuring the security of cloud computing is a major factor in the cloud computing environment as users often store sensitive information with cloud storage providers (CSP), but these providers may be untrusted. Even though a TPA audits the users data with correctness and integrity, dealing with single cloud providers is predicted to become less popular with service availability failure, possibility of malicious insiders and Byzantine faults in the single cloud. A movement towards Multi-Clouds or in other words inter-clouds or clouds- of- clouds has emerged recently; hence we need to protect the user data in Multi-Clouds with greater security in the form of public batch auditing and dynamic certification to perform continuous monitoring from single to Multi-Clouds, by this, it is to implement Cipher text – Policy Attribute Based Encryption(CP-ABE)[6] to achieve secure data sharing and also provides forward and data sharing and also provides forward and backward security in cloud computing to improve the security and performance with many number of users using the single to multi cloud environment.

Wireless sensor networks are often deployed in hostile environments, where an adversary can physically capture some of the nodes. Once a node is captured, the attacker can re-program it and replicate the node in a large number of replicas, thus easily taking over the network. The detection of node replication attacks in a wire- less sensor network is therefore a fundamental problem. Compared to the extensive exploration on the defense against node replication attacks in static networks, only a few solutions in mobile networks have been presented. Moreover, while most of the existing schemes in static networks rely on the witness-finding strategy, which cannot be applied to mobile networks, the velocity-exceeding strategy used in existing schemes in mobile networks incurs efficiency and security problems. In this paper Localized algorithms are proposed to resist node replication attacks in mobile sensor networks. The Merits of proposed algorithms are, it can effectively detect the node replication in localized manner. These algorithms are, also avoid network-wide synchronization and network-wide revocation.Keywords

Home networking is becoming an attractive application not only for the Internet access but also for home automation. Hence applications over powerline communication (PLC) networks have drawn much interest in the communication industry, not only because of inherent convenience (no new wires), but almost all electrical devices have to connect to a power outlet eventually. At the physical layer the promising methods for improving inferior characteristics of the PLC system are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and forward error correction (FEC). The performance analysis of the integrated PLC and visible light communication (VLC) systems using OFDM and turbo codes, under multipath channel conditions has been investigated. To increase the performance of the PLC networks a new hybrid protocol namely virtual slot multiple access (VSMA) has been investigated to improve the QoS for the home networks. An adaptive backoff mechanism has been proposed to enhance the performance of hybrid protocol. The proposed hybrid system has been analyzed for variable packet sizes and its performance metrics has been evaluated. The analysis has been made to choose an optimal packet size, to make the system more resistance under impulse noise and make it backward compatible with the existing technologies. The proposed hybrid scheme enhances the MAC throughput and reduces the access delay for various services as compared with the conventional protocol.Keywords

In this paper, we propose a moving object extraction technique for MPEG coded data directly. It is a change based motion object extraction approach, which discriminates background and moving objects by means of the higher-order statistics (HOS) performed on the inter frame differences of DC image. The DC image is partly decoded picture from the compressed video for the rapid reconstruction of image data. In order to employ an optimal threshold in moving object detection stage, the background is detected by the Moment-preserving thresholding technique for each frame. Based on the background statistic, the proportion of background variance is employed to extract the final object mask by comparison the fourth moment measure and the variance. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed approach worked efficiently and shown a robust result for object extraction in compressed video.
