Feature generation algorithms for searching globally useful features using traditional Markov network structures is now a days in wide practice. The composition of a Markov network can be represented one of two ways. The first approach is to treat this task as a global search problem. However, these algorithms are slow as they require running the expensive operation of weight learning many times. The second approach involves learning a set of local models and then combining them into a global model. However, it can be computationally expensive to learn the local models for datasets that contain a large number of variables and/or examples.
In this paper, we follow a third approach that views Markov network structure learning as a feature generation problem. For this we used an algorithm DTSL (Decision Tree Structured Learner) which combines a data-driven, adhoc-to-generic search strategy with randomization for quickly generating a large set of candidate features that all have support in the data. In addition to that it uses weight learning, using forest of uncertain decision trees to select a subset of generated features for making feature generation process more accurate and effective.

Internet provides a way for people to access digital resources such as e-books, multimedia files and software etc. However, access and distribution of digital resources over the Internet have done harm to media providers, by capturing and re-distributing the digital resources by end users. Hence, intellectual property rights protection has become a major issue nowadays. Using secure communication over Internet can solve this issue. Secure communication needs two major concerns, i.e. authentication and content protection. The proposed system uses the concepts of digital right management to provide integrity service and security against replay.Keywords

Modern fighter aircrafts, ships, missiles etc need to be very low Radar Cross Section (RCS) designs, to avoid detection by hostile radars. Hence accurate prediction of RCS of complex objects like aircrafts is essential to meet this requirement. A simple and efficient numerical procedure for treating problems of wide band RCS prediction Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) objects is developed using Method of Moment (MoM). Implementation of MoM for prediction of RCS involves solving Electric Field Integral Equation (EFIE) for electric current using the vector and scalar potential solutions, which satisfy the boundary condition that the tangential electric field at the boundary of the PEC body is zero. For numerical purposes, the objects are modeled using planar triangular surfaces patches. Set of special sub-domain type basis functions are defined on pairs of adjacent triangular patches. These basis functions yield a current representation free of line or point charges at sub-domain boundaries. Once the current distribution is obtained, dipole model is used to find Scattering field in free space. RCS can be calculated from the scattered and incident fields. Numerical results for a square plate, a cube, and a sphere are presented over a bandwidth.Keywords

Wireless communications using Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) links has emerged as one of the most significant breakthroughs in modern communications because of the huge capacity and reliability gains promised even in worst fading environment. This paper presents the optimized behaviour of MIMO systems over Rayleigh and Rician Fading channel environments. MIMO transmission systems are investigated in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. BER performance of MIMO systems is simulated for different transmit-receiver combinations such as 2×2, 2×3 and 2×4 using BPSK and QPSK modulation schemes and various equalization techniques such as Zero Forcing (ZF), Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and Maximum Likelihood (ML). Results show that the BER performance of a MIMO system using BPSK modulation and ML equalizer over Rician fading channel is optimum compared to the choice of other modulation schemes, equalizers and fading channels.Keywords

Vulnerability of agriculture to climate change is becoming increasingly apparent in recent years. During 2014 and 2015, India experienced trails of unusually widespread and untimely hailstorm events. The increased frequency of hailstorm events, especially in vulnerable ecosystem of Deccan Plateau region of India demanded appropriate measures to minimize adverse impact on agricultural crops. Therefore some of the post-hail measures including nutritional supplement, plant bio-regulators and canopy management were evaluated in field trials conducted at Maharashtra, India during 2014 and 2015. Amongst these, pruning of the hardy and indeterminate eggplant crop induced effective branches, which produced more flowers and fruits. Nitrogen supplemented with urea drenching and stress alleviating effects of salicylic acid promoted recovery in maize while drenching with humic acid along with spraying of potassium nitrate improved productivity of onion. These studies indicate the potential of technological interventions to cope with extreme events such as hailstorms.Keywords

The use of Renewable resources like the solar energy and various other clean sources of energy has been an increase in demand in the recent years due to their case in availability and low cost. This project demonstrates of people walking over piezo based foot board. The solar panel is used to harness the solar power. It converts the solar power into voltage, which when more than the voltage in the battery is able to charge the battery. The power available through the solar panel is sensed by an Atmega family microcontroller which is displayed on the LCD. Similarly, the power generated through foot step over piezo foot board is shown in LCD. In this case, the foot step count is also displayed on the LCD along with the voltage generated by that particular foot step, in this way one can charge the battery, through solar and foot step energies while simultaneously also monitoring of how much is getting generated with the use of solar piezo hybrid power charging system. The output is also displayed in web page using wifi module to enhance the field of Internet of Things Technology.
