One such harmful, yet easy to promote an attack is the sybil attack which creates multiple identities to achieve access to the wireless sensor networks. A new identity based scheme to provide security against Sybil attacks is proposed in this paper. It detects as well as broadcast information about the attackers to all the nearby sensor nodes. Expensive MapToPoint and pairing operations are not used in this scheme to reduce overheads. It also provides other essential security features. Aggregate-verification to verify several messages at the same time is also proposed in this paper. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with other recent schemes and the results show that the proposed scheme has reduced amount of overheads and better performance. 10 30 2019 5350 5355 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3066.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3066109119/ Research Scholar, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Annamalai University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.

Engaging employees has always been a startling challenge for any organisation. Despite gaining great significance, there prevails certain paucity on the academic literature front on employee engagement and more so an equal measure of perplexity in implementation of the concept of employee engagement in organisations. Still we find on at regular intervals, various definitions being formulated and getting circulated and also the process of engaging employees being practised and measured in organisations in different indigenous ways. Engaging Employees as a concept has been gaining prominence in the recent past as many organisations believe the process of engaging employees is a vital step to attain competitive advantage in their respective industry And in furtherance to this many research bodies have found in their studies that corporate outcomes validate strong linkage between performance of organisation and employee engagement For Instance, Research by Gallup Organization revealed that organisations that are highly committed to engaging employees are highly productive by 18% and highly profitable by 12% than other organisations in the industry. Further, the studies also point out that employee engagement as such on its definition and implementation, there exists a wide range of vagueness. Moreover, there also exists a gap between the literature available about the employee engagement and its implementation of the same in the organisation. This apparently proves that the concept of employee engagement is still at its early stages and need further exploration. The primary focus of this review paper is to highlight the need to enhance the existing knowledge on Employee Engagement by critically evaluating the prevailing literature on engaging employees and reporting the concerns regarding the shortfalls of what employee engagement actually needs to be effectively implemented. To start with, this review paper is based on observations from few articles that is being reviewed by other researchers, working papers, textbooks, and other published resources relevant to the concept of engaging employees from its etymology to its existing form. It is also based on articles sourced from on-line journal databases such as Research gate, Emerald Full text and Shoudhganga etc. This review paper also aims to identify and highlight the gaps in recognising influencers of Employee engagement. As it was observed there were ambiguity in identifying influencers and also that not much importance has been given to few influencers of employee engagement, such as organisational image, management and meaningfulness in job allocated to the employees. Also there is a need for future researches on few external factors having much indirect impact on the engagement level of the employees. Hence considering all of the above, following set of questions are being taken up for discussion in this review paper 1. How did the concept of engaging employees come into existence? 1.a. How was the definition derived? 1.b How was it implemented in phases ? 1.c What are the influencers of employee engagement? 2. How does the factor management aid to the concept of engaging employees? 3. How does the factor organisation image aid to the concept of engaging employees? 4. How does the factor meaningfulness in job aid to the concept of engaging employees? 10 30 2019 5370 5373 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3071.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3071109119/ Department of Management Studies, B S Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India Raed Mohammed Ali Al-Daoar* Dr. Shanmugam Munusamy Department of Management Studies, B S Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India Personnel quality in service industry is a significant factor as it interacts directly with customers. Thus, the understanding of personnel quality is an important aspect for strategies’ development and implementation to enhance the service delivery process. In the healthcare and medical tourism industries, personnel quality such as quality of doctors, nurses, administrative staff and interpreters play a major role in delivering good service to patients. Generally, there are studies relating to quality of service based on selected dimensions and its effects on patients’ satisfaction and word-of-mouth. However, studies focusing on personnel quality and its impact on the satisfaction and word-of-mouth of patients are still scarce. Hence, the present research aims to measure perspectives of Arab patients concerning the personnel quality of health care providers, satisfaction and word-of-mouth of patients in Indian private hospitals. To achieve this aim, a required data was collected from 335 Arab patients though valid and reliable structural questionnaire. Appropriate statistical methods including Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were applied in the present research to analyze the collected data and to examine the proposed model and hypotheses. Based on the analysis, it was found that the dimensions of doctors’ quality and nurses’ quality were significant, whereas the dimensions of administrative staffs’ quality and interpreters’ quality were not significant to predict the satisfaction and word-of-mouth of Arab patient. Thus, the results of this research can assist private healthcare providers to take appropriate policy decisions. 10 30 2019 5374 5383 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3072.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3072109119/ Saveetha School of Engineering, SIMATS, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India R.

V.L. Vimala English as a global and Multi National Companies’ language has gained its tremendous importance among college students of India. Students have realized the necessity of knowing and using the language to get the job. But, how to learn it in the short period of time is the question predominantly present in these students’ mind, which has to have its answer from language experts. The first and comfortable choice for teaching language at ease and quick is literature which is short and has plot and narrative. F.C. Bartlett, the psychologist, the founder of the concept of ‘schema’ scenario and the cognovits insist on the possibility of language learning through technical use of schemas and ‘filling index’ or cognitive map present in human brain. It is also a well realized fact that through concentrating on development of one skill, it is not possible to make the learners to use the language. Hence, all the four skills have to be equally given with importance to develop them in learners effectively, to enable them to use the language. 10 30 2019 5391 5394 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3074.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3074109119/ PhD scholar & Assistant professor, National Institute of Construction Management & Research (NICMAR), Delhi NCR, India Ravindra Shrivastava* Sumeet Gupta Sr. Associate Professor, School of Business, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India Ankur Mittal Associate Professor, School of Business, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India Brijendra Saxena Retired Professor, Tolani Maritime Institute, Pune, India. Overrun in terms of increase in cost and time of the infrastructure project are considered to be one of India's major infrastructure issues. Any overrun of the infrastructure project will result in huge national losses as it uses taxpayers ' money. These losses can be caused due to poor managent of risk in the construction projects. Overrun is a common phenomenon that affects almost all railway projects. However, the limited effort has been made to limit the occurrence of overruns, the author attempts to define the significance risk factors of which are the outcome of the eighty-four(84) attributes that cause overruns and further the possible ways to deal with possible mitigation for Indian railway projects.

Queuing hypothesis is a quantitative method which comprises in building scientific models of different sorts of lining frameworks. Occupied time of the framework is broke down and mean holding up time in the stationary system processed. At long last, some numerical outcomes are introduced to demonstrate the impact of model parameters on the framework execution measures. The traveling server, nonetheless, comes back to landing which is used to offer at a low rate whereas the other server is occupied. At whatever point the framework ends up and the subsequent server leaves for a working excursion while the principal server stays inert in the framework. These models can be utilized for making expectations about how the framework can change with requests. The framework is examined in the enduring state utilizing lattice geometric strategy. The clients enter the line in the Poisson manner and the time of each bunch size is dared to be circulated exponentially as for mean ward clump size and clients may balk away or renege when the holding up the line of the clients, in general, be exceptionally enormous. This work exhibits the investigation of a recharging input different working excursions line with balking, reneging and heterogeneous servers. Queuing hypothesis manages the investigation of lines and lining conduct. Different execution proportions of the model, for example, anticipated framework length, anticipated balking rate and reneging rate have been talked about. The technique breaks down an M/M/2 lining framework with two heterogeneous servers, one of which is constantly accessible however the different travels without clients sitting tight for service. During a working vacation period, the subsequent server gives administration at a slower rate as opposed to totally ceasing service. The relentless state probabilities of the model are advantageous and recursive strategies. 10 30 2019 5402 5408 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3076.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3076109119/ Ph.

To resolve this major difficulty, clustering algorithm is one of the accessible methods employed in wireless sensor networks. Still, clustering concept also faces some hurdles while transmitting the data from source to destination node. The sensor node is used to sense the data and the source node helps to convey the information and the intended recipient receives the sensed information. The clustering proposal will choose the cluster head depending on the residual energy and the sensor utility to its cluster members. The cluster heads will have equal cluster number of nodes. The complexity is generated in computing the shortest path and this can be optimized by Dijkstra’s algorithm. The optimization is executed by Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm that eliminates the delay in packet delivery, energy consumption, lifetime of the packet and hop count while handling the difficulties. The shortest path calculation will improve the quality of service (QoS). QoS is the crucial problem due to loss of energy and resource computation as well as the privacy in wireless sensor networks. The security can be improvised in this projected work. The preventive metrics are discussed to upgrade the QoS facility by civilizing the privacy parameter called as Safe and Efficient Query Processing (SAFEQ) and integrating the extended watchdog algorithm in wireless sensor networks. 10 30 2019 5409 5414 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3077.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3077109119/ Department of ECE, Vignan Institute of Technology and Science, Deshmukhi, Hyderabad, Telangana, India N.

With the advances in medicine and technology, early tumor detection may pay a way for treating it in an early phase and thereby reducing the death rates. MRI imaging has a significant role in imaging the BT. Neurologist base the treatment of BT on the type, location, and also size of the tumor and hence proper segmentation of the tumor region has become essential. Here, an efficient segmentation algorithm is proposed, is centered on using the Sobel edge detection mechanism and the classification of the tumor region centered on the features extorted as of the segmented images are performed. The brain MRI images from a database which contain normal and also abnormal cases. These images are stripped from the skull by utilizing the morphological operations like morphological opening along with closing. Following this, segmentation is executed and finally, features are extorted as well presented to the classifier where the classification is executed. The segmentations algorithm is estimated and also the outcome are contrasted to the other prevailing algorithms say Kmeans and SVM (Support Vectors Machine) and the classification algorithm is weighted against that of the existent classification algorithm like PNN (probabilistic neural network) and ANN (Artificial Neural Network). Thus the proposed algorithms are confirmed to be superior to the other algorithms used in BT segmentations and classification. 10 30 2019 5434 5440 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3082.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3082109119/ Research Scholar, Discipline of Electronics and Communication Engineering, BIHER, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.

The comparison between incompressible and compressible flow for aerodynamic coefficients and flow characteristics has been made for NACA 2412 airfoil. The FEM is used to obtain results. The fluid domain of 10C has been constructed to initialize the boundary conditions of incompressible and compressible flow conditions. The structured mesh has been applied in order to achieve accurate results. The Spallart-Allmaras turbulence model has been used to solve both incompressible and compressible flow conditions. The method validation that has been conducted at incompressible flow has shown close agreement between numerical and experimental lift coefficient. From velocity magnitude and static pressure, contours, the compressible flow has the highest-pressure distribution compared to incompressible flow. Therefore, it has been proven that the coefficient of force at ninety degrees to the direction of the flow direction of the airfoil subjected to a variable density flow was much higher compared to incompressible flow. 10 30 2019 5450 5456 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3085.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3085109119/ Research Scholar, Mathematics Dept., M.I.T.E, Moodabidri and VTU, Belgaum and Sr. Assistant Professor, SMVITM, Bantakal, Karnataka, India Renita Sharon Monis Asha Crasta Associate Professor, Mathematics Department, M.I.T.E, Moodabidri, and affiliated to VTU, Belgaum,Karnataka, India Mohammed Faheem Research Scholar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, IIUM, Gombak Campus, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia S.

Results show that with the escalation in the bounty of the complete sine wave (i.e., positive amplitude) there is an enlightened escalation in the pitch damping derivatives from h = 0, later in the downstream in the route of the sprawling verge it decreases till the location of the center of pressure and vice versa. At the location where the reasonable force acts, when we consider the stability derivatives in damping for the rate of pitch q, there is a rise in the numerical tenets of the spinoffs. This increase is non-linear in nature and not like for position near the leading edges. The level of the stifling derivatives owing to variations in Mach numbers, flow bend approach δ, and generosity of the sine wave remained in the same range. 10 30 2019 5457 5466 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3086.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3086109119/ Associate Professor, Department of CSE, PACE Institute of Technology & Sciences Goda Srinivasarao* Dr. Rajeswara Rao Ramisetty Professor, Department of CSE, JNTUK-UCEV-Vizianagaram Feature extraction plays vital role in online hand written character recognition.

Though using high end sophisticated methods security is provided to client’s data in cloud. Besides this theft of data has emerged as one of the common and major issue and which has grown to a big challenge even today also. In this paper we have proposed a unique algorithm which provides security for the data in different forms stored in cloud. In this paper we used a unique algorithm “SKM” by combining EOBE methods where encryption, obfuscation followed by binary encryption is effectively used to reach out the required target task. The data may be either, numeric, non-numeric or binary data related to image files. Depending on kind of data the required process is initiated in order to convert the data in a safe form. From the suggested algorithm a reduced timing with respect to encryption, decryption was achieved. Though the security concept in cloud is a bit difficult to deal, our proposed algorithm has achieved maximum security level among the existing ones. Using industrial tool the observed results are compared with the existing and popular methods of security algorithms. This creates a confidence among several cloud users and small scale business organization to move and enhance their belief on security of data in cloud. 10 30 2019 5474 5478 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3089.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3089109119/ Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

This study aims to investigate the effect of additives (sulfuric acid and ethanol) in sodium sulfate as photoelectrochemical (PEC) electrolyte on the photoconversion efficiency of tungsten trioxide loaded titania nanotubes (WTNT). Titania nanotubes (TNT) were first fabricated via anodization while the deposition of tungsten trioxide onto the titania nanotubes (WTNT) were successfully carried out via electrodeposition at various potentials. Assessing the PEC performance of WTNT fabricated at pH 1.5 in solely sodium sulfate was not adequate to enhance the PEC performance of WTNT compared to blank TNT. A similar result was obtained when sulfuric acid was added or when fabricating WTNT at pH 0.8. Adding ethanol into sodium sulfate electrolyte has successfully improved the PEC performance of WTNT with observable inclining photoconversion efficiency trend upon increasing electrodeposition potentials of WTNT from −0.45 V to −0.75 V. 10 30 2019 5479 5484 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3064.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3064109119/ Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode Geetha V* Anbumani V Assistant Professor, Department of ECE,Kongu EngineeringCollege,Perundurai,Erode Ragakavya K UG Student, Department of ECE, Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode Navaladi P UG Student, Department of ECE, Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode Ponraj S UG Student, Department of ECE,Kongu Engineering College,Perundurai,Erode Noise removal is one of the major requirements in image, speech and signal processing applications. Impulse noise removal in image processing uses median filters. For edge preservation in image processing this acts as one of the best alternative non-linear technique to linear filtering. Real time hardware implementation of median filters has major concern of sorting networks. Efficient VLSI implementation of sorting network in terms of hardware complexity is of greater importance. This work provides a comparison of existing six data comparators and also proposes three modified data comparators in terms of their hardware complexity, area, power and speed. All the comparators were designed using verilog HDL and were targeted for xa6slx4-3-csg225using Xilinx ISE 9.2i FPGA design suite. From the results Modified Twos Complement Based Data Comparator is the minimum area required architecture with maximum combinational path delay and also with minimum number of LUTs used. The drawback of this architecture is the maximum memory requirement. The Modified Multiplexer Based Data Comparator and Modified Decoder Based Data Comparator architectures are suitable for memory efficient design. 10 30 2019 5485 5490 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2010.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2010109119/ EEE Department, S R Engineering College, Warangal, India D.

The Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) is one of the most important renewable energy systems in the existing power network, which can be operated in either grid connected or standalone mode. In the standalone WECS, voltage and frequency variations are more due to the wind speed variations, load changes and switching surges. In this paper, space vector pulse width modulation based adaptive voltage controller with load current observer is used to control the voltage and frequency, for the standalone or isolated WECS. The isolated system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and the results are analysed when three-phase non-linear and linear (Resistive and Inductive) balanced and unbalanced loads are connected. 10 30 2019 5491 5496 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2012.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2012109119/ Research Scholar, Department of Computer Science Engineering , M.

The impact of temperature variations on paracitics of interconnects for variable interconnects at different technology nodes is analyzed. From the analysis, it reveal that the mixed bundle carbon nanotube offering the lower paracitics even higher temperatures compared to SWCNT and MWCNT which leads to lower delay and crosstalk effect when it is used in bus interconnects. Further we have also done delay analysis by changing the bundle area, number of shells and metallic ratio of three interconnect structures with the insertion of obtained parasitics using empirical formulas. It is proven that the mixed CNT (MCB) interconnect structures offered a lesser delay compared to other CNT interconnect structures. All the analysis has been done using MATLAB at 22nm and 32nm technology nodes. 10 30 2019 5506 5512 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2034.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2034109119/ Water and Hydraulic Structure Department, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.

The conservation of water resources through their optimal use is a compulsory for countries with water shortages in the arid and semi-arid regions, and it should be in an environmentally friendly manner to avoid the serious consequences of the use of environmentally harmful substances, the implications of which are currently evident from climate change, pollution of water bodies, soils, etc. Since Egypt is one of those countries suffering from water scarcity and uses about 82.5 percent of its water consumption in agriculture, according to data of the Ministry of Irrigation in 2010, so this research is focusing on the use of new methods to increase the efficiency of irrigation water, to achieve high productivity of agricultural crops with less water use that will certainly help to alleviate or solve the water scarcity issue. The study used a physical based model, to simulate the methods used to increase sand soil properties to ensure larger water retention index. Within this work, soil have been sampled from different areas, to simulate the behavior of arid lands, under different water retention techniques. Soil was exposed to different techniques, as it was mixed with soil additives in different quantities and different types. Physical barriers of cohesive soil and polyethylene sheets were used in addition to studying the effect of mulch on water storage capacity in non-cohesive soil. Water retention have been measured using the direct method of determination soil water content by oven drying and the volumetric water content (𝞱v) with time graphs have been plotted in groups, as well as the cultivated plants have been monitored as to measure the influence on plants growing and irrigation efficiency. And the experiment showed that the use of rice straw (RS) and wheat straw (WS) in the powder condition have a significant effect in increasing in the soil water content and even to the plant growth, the WS obtained 𝞱v values approaching the loam soil at times and slightly less in the case of RS, when the percentage of RC and WS was 30% to the sandy soil volume/volume (v/v). Also the use of mulch of RS showed a noticeable increase in 𝞱v and significant improvement of plant growth to that without mulch. These proven technologies can be used in sandy land targeted for reclamation to reduce water use in agriculture. 10 30 2019 5513 5520 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2045.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2045109119/ currently pursuing Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering.

Multilevel Inverters are incorporated in this modern world for medium and high-level applications for its adaptability to improve power quality problems. Its necessity is growing big in developing newer techniques and topologies for efficient implementation of DC to AC conversion system. Developing the MLI using less active switching components, less switching losses on active devices and improvement of number of voltage levels is always a tough task. A step forward to solve this problem is to modify the existing H-bridge multilevel inverter to produce Symmetrically Modified Laddered H-Bridge Multi-level Inverter (SMLHB -MLI). Comparative analysis has been carried out with other reputed existing MLI topologies to find out the performance and reduces complexity problem in inverter based on reduced switching methods in inverter side, reduction of active switching components and power diodes. 10 30 2019 5525 5532 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2074.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2074109119/ Instrumentation Department, V.E.S.Institute of Technology, Mumbai, India.

The paper proposes a method based on new principle for removal of common mode voltages (CMVs) present in the differential signals #. These CMVs can be reduced nearly to zero without using any components with tight tolerances which is achieved using a new balancing technique. It is proved that the performance of the circuit depends only on the ratios and not on the individual values of the resistors because of which the performance of the circuit is not affected over the wide range of temperature. The circuit based on this principle was designed, constructed, tested and results are reported in this paper. Unlike the conventional techniques which use filters for removal of the common mode signals in specific band of the frequencies, the method reported here removes common mode signals of all known and unknown frequencies. Using this method, it is possible to extract very low values of the differential signals in the range of few microvolts where common mode voltages can be as high as few volts. It is possible to improve the effective common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of any differential amplifier by a factor of more than 103 to 104 with this method. 10 30 2019 5533 5538 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2075.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a2075109119/ Centre for Medical Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India.

Optimization based three dimensional (3D) rigid image registration (RIR) is one of the most commonly used methods of image registration in radiotherapy. Interpolator and similarity metric plays a crucial role in optimization image registration process. In this paper, the efficiency of image registration algorithm is analyzed by using various combinations of interpolators and similarity metric in terms of quantitative measures and is compared with commercially available image registration algorithm in radiotherapy. Computed Tomography (CT) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) image datasets were registered by image registration algorithm written in python language using simple image tool kit (SITK). Different combinations of similarity metric and interpolator such as mean square difference (MSD), mutual information (MI), demons and nearest neighbor (NN), linear, B- spline respectively were used in this study. The efficiency of the algorithm was quantified in terms of mean square error (MSE), structural similarity index (SSI), normalized cross correlation (NCC) and mutual information (MI). The image registration algorithm with most efficient combination of similarity metric and interpolator was selected for comparison with the commercially available image registration algorithm. The algorithm for multimodal (CT-CBCT) 3D image registration with NN interpolator and MI similarity metric showed the highest values of SSI, NCC and MI as 0.865, 0.933, 1.223 respectively among other combination of interpolator and similarity metric. Further this algorithm when compared and statistically analyzed with commercially available image registration algorithm of Treatment Planning System (TPS. most commonly used for radiotherapy treatment) resulted in no significant difference (F value NCC-3.18, MI-4.010, SSI-2.776) in their quantitative measures. The present study is limited to 3D RIR and can be extended for deformable image registration. 10 30 2019 5539 5545 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2078.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2078109119/ Kuban State Medical University, Krasnodar, Russia.

This study is based on the identification of causal relationships that determine the current trends in the demographic system of the regions of the Russian Federation. The achievement of optimal parameters of the demographic system is a factor in the implementation of the principle of sustainable development of territories. Demographic behavior is explained from the perspective of an institutional approach and is defined as a reaction and adaptation to changes in the institutional environment. From the standpoint of determinism, the response of the demographic system can be defined as a consequence and causality as the influence of the institutional environment. An attempt to formalize conclusions about the influence of the institutional environment on the demographic parameters of the territory and the application of mathematical research methods have allowed the authors to conclude that the economic well-being of the population was the dominant factor in the increase of the birth rate. 10 30 2019 5559 5564 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2105.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a2105109119/ Russian New University, Moscow, Russia.

Paper The article is devoted to the analysis of the functioning of destructive communication in the information space. It has been established that the main element of the communication process is the transmitted information, which comes in the form of text messages. The authors have determined that the language of Internet communication has certain features. This is due to the fact that several character systems can be used at the same time. It has been proved that a model of a social and communication network in the matter of determining its elements may have a certain discrepancy with the general provisions of the network approach. This mismatch can be addressed by verifying that these elements match the key characteristics of the links that create the network format. The reliability of the presented procedure for the analysis of destructive communication is confirmed by the fact that it reduces the number of analyzed objects by the factor of 2.5 and moves from the level of post-fact response to the level of the forecasting and taking preventive measures. 10 30 2019 5565 5569 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2128.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a2128109119/ Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Moscow, Russia.

Not long ago mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) became one of the most recent and famous trends in the field of wireless communications. This is because, it permits the mobile appliances for communication with each other at any instant anyplace without the need of pre-defined infrastructure or centralized management. As the absence of centralized administration, the free movement of appliances and the limited resources of MANET, the designing of routing protocols have been becoming the main fundamental challenge that meet MANET till now. Furthermore, nodes with heavily traffic load may exhaust their energy in routing others packets resulting in unstable network and hence performance deterioration. In this essay we present a new version of one of the well prominent reactive routing protocols named Ad Hoc On Demand distance Vector (AODV). The suggested version aims to make the original AODV more efficient in terms of the energy consumption of nodes, traffic load distribution among nodes and routes stabilization. The suggested scheme is called, Energy efficient, Load balanced and Stabilized Multi routes- AODV (ELSM-AODV), where the paths selection is based on a composite criterion, named Node Efficiency Factor (NEF) which contain all factors that have direct impact on the performance level and life time of MANET (e.g. energy, speed, distance and traffic load of nodes). Performance assessment and comparison between suggested schema (ELSM-AODV) and standard AODV has been performed using network emulator NS2. Simulation results evidenced that performance of the suggested protocol outperform standard AODV from point of view: correct packets delivery ratio, end to end delay time, normalized routing load and nodes energy consumption. 10 30 2019 5577 5585 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2150.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2150109119/ Department of Mathematics, Nirmala College for Women, Coimbatore, India.

The theory of fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh, has a wider scope in terms of applications than the classical set theory in solving various problems. Extensive applications of the fuzzy set theory have been found in various fields such as Computer Sciences, Artificial Intelligence, Medical Sciences, Economics, Statistics, Neural Networks, etc. In fuzzy set each element had a degree of membership. Smarandache defined the neutrosophic set theory, which was one of the most important new mathematical tools for handling problems involving imprecise, indeterminacy, and inconsistent data. The theory of vague sets was first proposed by Gau and Buehrer as an extension of fuzzy set theory and vague sets are regarded as a special case of context-dependent fuzzy sets. Shawkat Alkhazaleh introduced the concept of neutrosophic vague set as a combination of neutrosophic set and vague set. Neutrosophic vague theory is an effective tool to process incomplete, indeterminate and inconsistent information. This paper attempts to develop a new model known as neutrosophic vague max-min composition technique to examine the daily life problems. One of the major problems that everyone comes across is their children’s studies. Education is a very important aspect of the lives of all people all over the world. What we learn, not just in the classroom, shapes who we are. We take our education everywhere we go. Student life is not as easier as it seems. Now a days the studies of the student is deviated due to various reasons. Here we identify those problems of students and by using neutrosophic vague max-min composition technique we analyze the problem faced by the students that affect their lack of concentration in studies. 10 30 2019 5586 5589 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2154.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A2154109119/ Department of E&TC Engineering,MET's Institute of Engineering, Nashik.

Electrical Discharge Machining is an advanced machining method with various advantages, as a result of which, its use is becoming more & more widespread. This process is one of the modern machining processes which is characterized by the absence of plastic deformation and chip formation. The advancement of this process may further be enhanced by utilizing powder particles within dielectric medium that is designated as Powder Mixed Electrical Discharge Machining (PMEDM) process. In the current study, to enhance the surface roughness (SR) of AISI-D3 tool steel using Copper and Brass as electrode and Aluminium (Al) as powder by utilising PMEDM process, an experimentation has been carried out. During experimentation, pulse on and off time, peak current and powder concentration are considered as input process parameters. From the experimental results, it is noted that with mixing of aluminium powder in dielectric medium, surface roughness has increased significantly. Moreover, it is seen that powder concentration of 1 g/l at 1 A peak current giving better surface quality of AISI-D3 steel. This indicates the enhancement of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) performance dispersing aluminium powder in dielectric fluid. 10 30 2019 5596 5601 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2244.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a2244109119/ Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Republic of Korea.

The sensor nodes of a wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are difficult to replace when they fails after deployment. Sensor nodes are small and low-cost due to limited resources and are vulnerable to several types of application attacks. To solve this problem, many security protocols have been meticulously researched considering the energy efficiency and network attacks. The statistical en-route filtering (SEF) scheme has been proposed to detect bogus data and false report injection attacks that reduce network life. SEF performs early filtering of modulated data using the en-route technique. Deployed nodes transmit a report to the sink node through hop-by-hop communication, and as a result nodes close to the sink node have a relatively high burden. Although many studies have been proposed to improve the energy efficiency of each node based on the SEF scheme, these studies are not considered the Burden of the cluster. A cluster with a high burden exhausts the node energy faster than another cluster with low burden. If a cluster in the upper stream is depleted, it will not be able to receive reports from many regions in the lower stream. Therefore, the SEF should be used to determine proper routing while considering the node density to increase the lifetime of the network. In this paper, we propose a method to control the load balancing of nodes considering the burden ratio and density of nodes. The cluster head node controls the route path using additional cluster information in the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme prolongs the network lifetime efficiency by 35.645% compared to the existing scheme. 10 30 2019 5602 5607 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2248.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a2248109119/ Department of is Power System Engineering, College of Engineering, Kalahandi (GCEK), (Odisha), India.

This work applies whale optimization algorithm for emission constrained economic dispatch of hydrothermal units including wind power. As the wind power has a characteristic of cleanliness and is renewable, this is convincing to include this for better operation of electric power system keeping in view both economic and environmental aspects. Hydrothermal scheduling integrated with wind power establishes a multi-objective problem that becomes economic emission hydro-thermal-wind scheduling problem while taking into consideration the cost due to wind uncertainty. Whale optimization algorithm is proposed to solve this emission constrained economic dispatch problem with competing objectives. This algorithm is recently developed and gives the best solution among other nature inspired algorithms. The objectives minimum generations as well as emission cost, both are optimized together including different constraints. A daily scheduling of all the three types of systems - hydro, thermal and wind is considered to evaluate the competency of this optimization technique to get a solution for this multi-objective problem. The experiments are carried out on two systems for determining the effectiveness of the suggested method. Besides, results found using the whale optimization technique have been compared with the results obtained from other evolutionary methods. From the comparison, it is experimentally justified that the whale optimization works faster and the cost of generation as well as cost of emission are lower than the other approaches. 10 30 2019 5608 5616 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A2261.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a2261109119/ Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Malaysia.

In this study, the researcher review on the modified TiO2 preparation via wet impregnation method for dye removal application. The bare TiO2 and Ag-TiO2 that have been synthesized undergo characterizations using XRD, FESEM-EDX and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD pattern showed that the synthesized TiO2 was of pure anatase phase. The crystal structure of anatase TiO2 was not disturbed upon doping with Ag. FESEM images revealed that the TiO2 constitutes of various sizes of spherical and square-like shapes. EDX mapping illustrates that dopant metals are dispersed in a uniformed manner onto the TiO2 support and appeared as metal oxide. The bare TiO2 that has been modified acts as a photocatalyst to remove MO through the batch method. The effects of initial dye concentrations (5-25 ppm), pH solutions (2–9), catalyst loadings (0.5–4) g/L,) and light sources (visible, solar, UV) were analyzed. It was discovered that photocatalytic experiment performed using Ag-TiO2 has greater efficiency of MO removal that ranges from 32% to 100% in contrast to bare TiO2 with MO removal of 12%-67% for comparable dosages of photocatalyst at initial MO concentration of 5 ppm in both alkaline and acidic conditions under UV irradiation. It was postulated that Ag-TiO2 photocatalyst is the better candidate for effective dye removal. 10 30 2019 5617 5623 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3036.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3036109119/ Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

In this study, intelligent food packaging in the forms of film and coating were developed based on starch, chitosan and curcumin extracted from turmeric. Solution casting method was applied to develop the film. Both of the film and coating were evaluated and compared by their chemical, physical and biological properties. The film was evaluated in terms of tensile strength measurement, FTIR spectroscopy, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity as well as color difference parameters after application on the strawberry. The results obtained showed that the film has a tensile strength of 1.37 MPa, elongation at break of 18.9%, antioxidant activity of 95.65% and high antimicrobial activity as the film had successfully delayed the formation of mould on the strawberry after 5 days of storage. In addition, the stability of both film and coating were evaluated based on their applications on strawberries at two different conditions which are at room temperature and chiller temperature during 5 days storage to identify their potential use as intelligent food packaging. After 5 days, it was found that the film at room temperature had been partially degraded and the coating had caused colour degradation and texture deterioration of the strawberry. In contrast, the film and coating stored at chiller temperature remained the same in terms of physical structure and able to monitor and extend the shelf life of the strawberry. For the evaluation of the film as pH sensing film, the colour of the film changed after 5 days from 53.46 to 48.92 for L*, 26.01 to 22.68 for a* and 42.49 to 44.65 for b* at chiller temperature, while at room temperature, the values of L* changed from 53.96 to 48.96, 25.54 to 20.36 for a* and 46.34 to 44.10 for b*. These showed that the film was able to monitor the freshness of the strawberry by changing its colour in respond to pH changes of the strawberry. The results obtained revealed that both of the film and coating have a greater stability at chiller temperature as compared to storage at room temperature and both have a strong antioxidant activity and strong antimicrobial activity that they delayed the spoilage of the strawberries. Therefore, the film and coating based on starch, chitosan and curcumin can be used to monitor freshness of refrigerated food and have the potential to be used as intelligent food packaging. 10 30 2019 5624 5630 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3037.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3037109119/ Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Siti Norasmah Surip Fatimah Muyassarah Abdul Aziz Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Khairunnadim Ahmad Sekak Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Nanofibers capabilities in produced small materials up to nanoscale dimension, making them the perfect fundamental materials that can help improving the effectiveness of many applications. In this study, the properties of PALF/PET electrospun mats were studied. Different ratio of PALF/PET were electrospin to determine the optimum parameters for fabricating electrospun PALF/PET with minimum defect. The sample obtained were then characterized for its morphology and chemical properties. FTIR studies were done to understand the interaction occurred between PALF and PET with increasing PALF ratio. From the FTIR result, increasing PALF showed similarities spectra with raw PALF peak at 1100cm-1 indicating the influence of PALF in the fibers. This peak did not appear at low PALF content. The obtaining electrospun mats were observed under FESEM to characterize their morphological properties. Increasing in PALF ratio also attributes to the decreasing of size diameter and diameter range. From the result, PALFPET4 shows the smoother morphology with linear properties and smaller average size diameter. 10 30 2019 5631 5638 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3038.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3038109119/ Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, UBE College, Japan.

This paper investigates the drop weight impact behavior of glass fibre-aluminum (GFRP-AL FML) composites. The purpose of the research is to study the effect of different type of glass fibres architecture, i.e woven and unidirectional, with existence Al sheet in the middle of the glass fibre reinforced polymer composites (GFRP). The impact behaviour of these GFRP and GFRP-AL FMLs was investigated using a drop-weight impact tower at three different energy level, which are 10J, 20J and 30J. The Load - deflection curves were used to measure the absorbed energy. The results showed that the woven type of GFRP exhibited the highest peak load but lowest deflection thus reducing the total energy absorbed. In contrast, the unidirectional types of GFRP possessed the lowest peak load and highest deflection, which results in the highest energy absorbed. For the GFRP-AL FML composites, the energy absorbed obtained almost similar for both woven and unidirectional types. This is may be due to poor adhesion between the GFRP and Al sheet, thus make both materials separated and delaminated when subjected to impact load. The optical analysis proved that the GFRP-AL debonding, fibres breakage, fibres delamination and matrix cracking occurred during the impact loading. These are the main impact energy –absorption mechanisms involved during the test. 10 30 2019 5639 5645 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3039.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3039109119/ Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA/Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

This study aims to develop and determine mechanical properties chopped basalt fibre reinforced composites (CBFRP) modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT). Chopped basalt composite modified with CNT was fabricated using a combination of mechanical stirring and hand layup process. Three different weight percentages of CNT i.e. 0.5, 1, 1.5wt. % were filled into epoxy resin before mixing with chopped basalt fiber. The mechanical performance namely tensile properties and fracture toughness behaviour of the fabricated chopped basalt composites was assessed using Universal Testing Machine in accordance to ASTM standard D368 and D695, respectively. The results showed that the incorporation of CNT enhanced tensile and fracture toughness properties of the CBFRP composites. However, a higher amount of CNT (1.5wt%) incorporated into the CBFRP caused reduction in tensile strength, tensile modulus and Gic by 4.40%, 2.46% and 30.36 %, respectively, as compared to those of 1.0CNT-CBFRP. 10 30 2019 5646 5650 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3040.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3040109119/ Faculty of Applied Science, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Khairul Naseem Mohd Rodzi Mohd Iqbal Misnon* Textile Research Group, Faculty of Applied Science, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

Nevertheless, the ability of materials against thermal and fire must be good. In this work, the incorporation of the phosphorus based intumescent flame retardant (IFR), ammonium polyphosphate (APP) into the jute fabric composite (JC) with different formulations were fabricated to analyze its fire-retardant properties. The physical, flammability and thermal properties of the untreated and treated composites were investigated with the support by FESEM and EDX analysis. Based on the results, the density of treated JC was higher than untreated sample due to the impregnation of APP. In terms of fire-retardant properties, the JC samples treated by APP were able to improve the thermal and flammability of the composites. The enhancement of fire-retardant properties of JC can improve its potential to be used as low load bearing material in building infrastructure applications. 10 30 2019 5651 5656 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3041.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/a3041109119/ Mechatronics Section, Electrical Engineering Department, German Malaysian Institute (GMI), Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia.

The improvement of elite building items produced using regular assets is expanding around the world due to renewable and ecological issues. Among the wide range of characteristic assets, kenaf plants have been broadly abused in the course of recent years. The aim of this research is to develop long kenaf composites and long kenaf with woven glass reinforced polyester resin composites. Tensile test helps to determine how the material will react to forces being applied in tension. The test that was conducted included Post Impact Tensile test and Single Edge Notch Bend. Tensile test determines strain-stress while single edge notch bend determines the fracture of the specimen. The experiment was conducted using Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to find the mechanical properties. The experiment considered ASTM D3039 for tensile test and ASTM D5045 for single edge notch bending. From there, the damage area of the composites could be predicted. Meanwhile, it showed the best configuration for the newly developed material in impact test. So, these hybrid composites are viable to be extended into a newly developed material for further investigation. 10 30 2019 5657 5662 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3042.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3042109119/ Orchestrated Polymer Research Group, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

Natural fibers from plants are gaining importance and may substitute wood in the production of wood plastic composites (WPC). To ensure continuity of fiber supply and sustainability of WPC industries, fibers of various types could be mixed together to obtain Mix WPC. However, research need to be carried out to identify the contribution of different fiber type collectively to the mechanical properties of Mix natural fiber polymer composite (NFPC). In this study, preliminary work on the use of natural fibre (NF) such as kenaf, sugar palm and pineapple leaf fibers in the preparation of Mix NFPC were carried out. Four different fiber mix samples with different fiber ratio and size were formulated using polypropylene (PP) as the polymer matrix. Montmorrilonite (MMT) filler was added at constant amount for enhancement of composite mechanical properties. Samples were mixed and prepared using a twin screw extruder and mini injection moulding resepectively. Individual fibers and NFPC prepared were characterized using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Tensile, flexural and impact strength of the composites were determined. Generally, it was found that addition of fiber mix at 50% fiber loading enhance the tensile and flexural strength of the various NFPC with minimal exceptions. The impact strength of the composites were comparable to that of blank PP implying that addition of fiber gives additional advantage besides being eco-friendly. It was also found that higher kenaf loading and different size of fiber mix contribute positively to the various strengths measured. In addition to that, composition of individual fibers also contribute to the mechanical properties of the NFPCs. 10 30 2019 5663 5667 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3043.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3043109119/ Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

Ultrasound has been developed as a technique to determine the object and distance detected. It is quite challenging to identify and localise the defects, especially in mechanical parts. Nanomaterials namely multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), nanoclay and graphene mix with epoxy to be nanocomposites for example which have not been explored using ultrasound method to determine better coupling performance with transducer. Ultrasonic equipment was set up to run the experiment with four main components, namely transducer, personal computer, oscilloscope and indicator whereas to determine the reflection coefficient. Based on the result, nanocomposite of graphene filler gave a lower value of reflection coefficient, which is 0.08299 compared to MWCNT and nanoclay filler of nanocomposites. It is shown that graphene filler of nanocomposite has better coupling performance. The differentiation of the values may be affected by roughness of the nanocomposites. 10 30 2019 5668 5671 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3044.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3044109119/ School of Engineering KDU University College, 40150, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

This air sensor functioning to detect the speed of air surrounding while in motionor a sudden changes in its environment. The effect of fast detection of a security sensor through the high sensitivity of the airflow sensor has enabled the system to identify and analyze the critical condition in higher accuracy compared to the conventional of any security system. Previous studies have developed the macrofluidic air flow sensor that observed the air flow in higher accuracy while the sensor in motion will be verified by detection of high sensitivity in the relative velocity of the airflow sensor compared to a conventional sensor. An experimental investigation was conducted to verify macrofluidic air flow sensor in wind tunnel by control velocity of range (30 to 110 km/h). The result shows the characterization of the changes in voltage reading with respect to the airflow speed in the wind tunnel.

The effect of different drying methods using spray dryer and rotary evaporator towards the physico-chemical properties and thermal stability of powdered tannin extractives from Rhizophora Mucronata bark was investigated. Prior to spray drying at 130°C and rotary evaporating at 80°C, tannin was extracted using water-based boiling extraction at temperature ranging from 80 to 90°C. Powdered tannin extractives obtained by spray dryer decomposed at higher temperature (at 270°C) than those using rotary evaporator (at 210°C). The powdered tannin extractives from spray dryer was higher in thermal stability due to the high crystallinity peak appeared from X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Condensed and hydrolysable tannins were also quantified using Reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) for both methods. Powdered tannins extractives using spray dryer contained 27.8% condensed tannins and 0.001% hydrolysable tannins, in which the condensed tannins are slightly higher in concentration than those formed using rotary evaporator which was 26.5%.

This research study focused on the biodegradation process of micro-plastic (PE, PP, PET and PS) in the batch culture system using a colony of bacteria obtained from leachate in Ayer Hitam Landfill, Puchong. After the batch experiment of micro-plastic degradation, percentage removal of ammonia-nitrogen, chemical structure and percentage weight loss were examined and evaluated. Succeeding through the incubation of micro-plastic in batch culture for fourteen (14) days period, biodegradation was verified by the estimation of the dry weight loss. From the result obtained, dry weight loss of polyethylene (PE) is the highest (3.46%) in 14 days and polyethylene (PE) shows the greater removal of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) (44.17%). Besides that, polystyrene (PS) micro-plastic showed a significant change in chemical structural which was obtained by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Here, the new absorption peak C=O (aldehydes) was present in PS micro-plastic. Furthermore, PS micro-plastic has a high percentage mass loss in the second stage of thermal degradation by Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. It can be concluded that incubation time is needed to optimize the micro-plastic in the biodegradation process. 10 30 2019 5683 5693 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3047.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3047109119/ INPRESS, Process safety & Risk Reliability Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Zulkifli Abdul Rashid Mohd Aizad Ahmad INPRESS, Process safety & Risk Reliability Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia Mohd Azhar Mohd Ariff Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia Mohd Nizam Marzuki Project Executive at Technology Depository Agency , Bandar Baru Bangi A new technology of methanol (MeOH) production by using carbon dioxide CO2 has changed world prospective regarding methanol production.

Electrospinning process involved strong deformations of polymer fluid at rapid fibrous structure formation within mili seconds by several influence from the distinctive spinning parameters. This study has been conducted to achieve a desirable flow rate and optimum tip-to-collector needle distance for the electrospinning of polycaprolactone (PCL). For this aim, the morphological structure of fibre spun from 10 wt% PCL solution dissolved in dichloromethane (DCM) at 0.05 – 0.20 ml/min flow rate and 10 – 15 cm tip-to-collector needle range were characterized by FESEM. The results obtained show that average diameter of electrospun PCL fibres decreases with increasing flow rate at any needle to collector distance. In addition, the tip-to-collector needle range at 15 cm produced more beads-on-string fibres compared to 10 cm distance. The fibre thickness is reduced as both of the flow and the distance of needle tip-to-collector increased. All of the obtained electrospun PCL fibres are in non-uniform, long, porous beaded fibrous structure for all flow rate and needle distance tip-to-collector values. 10 30 2019 5699 5704 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3049.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3049109119/ Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Noor Zaheera Ishak* Nurul Syuhadah Khusaini Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Kampus Permatang Pauh, P.Pinang, Malaysia Nor Heliena Aziz Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Kampus Permatang Pauh, P.

Humanoid robot is developed to aid human daily task. However, the appearances of the humanoid robot affect the robot’s functionality as well as the acceptance of its usage in public. Hence, this study focuses on developing a new torso structure design for a humanoid robot for better performance. The new humanoid robot torso design is based on the actual human-like proportion and human torso structure. A 3D model of the torso has been designed and simulated in SolidWorks software. Aluminium is used as the raw material for the humanoid robot torso. The humanoid robot parts are fabricated via Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining and Water Jet Cutting. The design was then analyzed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Simulation results show that the new humanoid robot torso structure design is more stable and stronger where the maximum displacement for initial torso design is 9.715e-002 mm while after improvement is 6.783e-003 mm. The proposed system with 1 DOFs shows high strength and easy-to-control features and it is also proven that the simplified design is the best option to increase strength and stability. 10 30 2019 5705 5711 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3050.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3050109119/ Integrated Separation Technology and Research Group (i-STRonG), Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam Selangor, Malaysia.

The conventional physical treatment technologies is difficult to dewater most of water content in oily sludge during sludge dewatering process. Oily sludge removal by using surfactant via thermochemical cleaning method is recognized as one of potential method used to enhance the performance of sludge dewatering process. This study was designed to investigate the performance of anionic and cationic plant-based surfactant in removal of oil and enhance the dewatering of oily sludge. The characterization study of raw oily sludge, PBE and SLSA and those treated with PBE and SLSA surfactants were performed via TGA and FTIR. The effect of surfactant concentration was investigated based on percentage of oil removal. FTIR spectra confirms the loss of transmission peak at 1636.11 cm-1 for treated oily sludge due to the loss of oil via solubilization of oil from oily sludge into surfactant solution. Results shows that the best condition for the percentage of oil removal when using PBE and SLSA surfactants was 84.3% and 67.6%, respectively at PBE and SLSA concentration of 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L. It was observed that SLSA and PBE surfactants has potential to remove oil from oily sludge and subsequently contributed to enhance the oily sludge dewatering process. 10 30 2019 5712 5717 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3051.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3051109119/ NANO-ElecTronic Centre (NET), Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

A highly porous nickel oxide (NiO) nanoflower was deposited directly onto glass substrates by the simplistic immersion method. The nanostructural property of the NiO was studied by X-ray diffraction pattern and obtained high crystal quality after annealing at 500 °Ϲ with an average crystallite size of 15.5 nm. The optical characterization was measured by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, with an average transmittance of 58 %. The value of 3.63 eV was estimated and confirmed as NiO bandgap energy. The current-voltage measurement result indicates that the NiO nanoflower has good electrical properties with resistance, resistivity, and conductivity value of 2.31 MΩ, 2.12 Ω.cm, and 4.71 × 10-1 S.cm-1, respectively. The NiO is capable of performing satisfactorily as humidity sensor with a sensitivity of 138 with the response and recovery time were estimated at 389 s and 172 s, respectively. Besides, this sensor has stability at a humidity level of 40 - 90% relative humidity. 10 30 2019 5718 5722 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3052.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3052109119/ Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. Muhamad Sharifudin Mat Intan The human lower limb is a major part of the human body that is exposed to high joint load during daily activities. Different lifestyles and cultural activities can affect the loading condition generated at the joint during motion. For instance, deep squatting is more frequently performed by Asians compared to Europeans e.g. kneeing on tatami among Japanese and sitting position during prayer among Muslims. The aim of this research is to determine the joint load of the human lower limb during the squat lifting movement by using inverse dynamics of 2-dimensional (2D) human lower limb model. The 2D inverse dynamics modelling was used to describe and compute all the joint force reactions from the known ground reaction and lower limb kinematics. In this study, 2D human lower limb model was analysed during the squat lifting movement. Inverse dynamics computation was performed using MATLAB programming based on Newton-Euler equations to determine the joint forces and moments. The joint loads at ankle, knee and hip joints for every knee flexion angle were obtained and the maximum forces at the ankle, knee and hip were 613.9, 614.1 and 596.1 N, respectively. 10 30 2019 5723 5727 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijeat.org true 10.35940/ijeat.A3053.109119 https://www.ijeat.org/portfolio-item/A3053109119/
