Abstract: During the early stages, infants need proper rest and sleep for growth and development. Hence, it is the responsibility of the parents/guardian to provide the necessary care and attention to the infant. But with the modern lifestyle, parents are busy and have a lot of work with little time to provide for their little ones. In today’s world we see that most of the families consist of mainly the parents and children. When a baby is born in a family there has to be someone to look after the baby. Some parents have to do a double task of keeping a check on the baby as well as do the household work. Keeping a nanny could be an option but not all can afford nannies and also it is always difficult for parents to rely on some strangers to look after their baby. So to help such parents we have decided to come up with a smart cradle which will help a mother or a father have a track of their child and do some household work simultaneously. When the baby cries the cradle will start swinging with the help of DC motor. The temperature and wetness sensor detects the temperature and wetness of the baby and if it increases a particular level, message will be send to the parents. The mic in the system detect, if the baby cries and a song will play through the speaker set up in the APR, also message is send to the parents using smart phones with the help of blynk server. Feeding time is also preset according to baby’s growth and is notified to the parent.

Abstract: As the world population is increasing, the need of health prevention is also increasing day by day. Hence, it is mandatory for everyone in this world to take care of their health properly. In these recent years, there is a rapid progress in medical care due to the technological advancements in the various fields of sensors, micro-controllers, and computers for assuring fast recovery of patients in the hospitals. The major and fundamental requirement of the hospitalized patients is that every patient should be provided with a better treatment and  observation and should be supplied the correct amount of vital nutrition at the correct time. Among the various treatments, the saline therapy is the most important treatment that many patients receive from the hospitals. The bottle of saline is fed to the patients to treat dehydration and thus improve their health. In the hospitals, whenever a saline is fed to the patients, the patient needs to be continuously administered by a nurse or a care-taker. But unfortunately, there are some critical situations, i.e., patient's blood re-flexing back into the saline tubing system due to the negligence towards the saline completion and busy schedules of the responsible doctors, nurses, or the care-takers, so a huge number of patients are dying or are being harmed in the hospitals. Hence to prevent the patient from getting harmed and to protect their lives during saline feeding hours, the saline level monitoring and automatic alert system has been developed. The proposed system facilitates a sophisticated method of controlling saline drop rate by monitoring the saline system remotely by using Internet Of Things platform. The proposed system consists of a sensor used for monitoring the critical level of the saline liquid in the saline bottle and a mechanism that will stop the saline flow automatically after the saline bottle is completely empty. This proposed system can be utilized efficiently in homes as well as hospitals. Keywords: Intravenous, Internet of Things, Node MCU

Abstract: As Online Social Networks such as Facebook, Linkedln and Twitter are increasing becoming a part and parcel of one's daily lives, personal information is at stake. Easy access to personal information has made the attackers  to  steal  information  from influential  users using various forms of attacks. Attackers take advantage of the user’s trustworthiness when using Online Social Networks. Hence, there is a need for the third party applications of various Online Social Networks sites to provide defence mechanisms against adversaries. Colluding  attack is a way of creating  fake  profiles  of  friends  of  the target in the same OSN or others. Colluders impersonate their victims and send friend requests to the target with an intention  to  infiltrate  their  private  circle  to  steal information. These types of  attacks are difficult to detect in  because  multiple  malicious  users  may have  a  similar  purpose  to  gain  information  from their targeted user. In this regard, the work intends to overcome  this  type  of  attack  by  addressing  the problem of  identity clones across multiple Online Social Networks  using machine learning.

Abstract: In college the parking slots are available but sometimes it’s very complicated to find out the empty parking space and there is not any such functionality available for checking the parking slot is available. In institutes there is the separate parking available for faculties and students whenever we would like to search parking slot we have to reach there to find out the available slots. Then it is very less time consuming process to reach till empty or vacant slots. Now a day’s almost all people use the smart phone so if we connect the parking slot to the smart phone then it is very useful for the upcoming vehicle to search for the empty parking slot and park the car over there. The user can also reserve the space for the parking slots via smart phone. Through this user can reserve parking space for given location online in advance .Then user can place the vehicle in the parking slot with minimal fees. After study about some current systems and it shows that the current systems are not totally automated and require a certain level of human interference and communication with the system. The difference between our system and existing systems is that we intend to make our system as less human independent by automating whole parking area.

Abstract: Software metrics refers to a broad range of measurements for computer software. Software metric is a mathematical definition mapping the entities of a software system to numeric measurement values. Measure the software and the software development processes both are very important for organization.  As we know when we are calculate software metrics by different-different tools the result will differ due to metrics tools use different methodology. The results are thus tools dependent and are in question for validations. Here an attempt is made to integrate eight different object oriented free metric tools. A study has been done to measure the metrics values using the same set of standard metrics for a software projects. The results have been discussed before and showed the variations in results from different tools for same metrics. Measurements show that, for the same software system and metrics, the metrics values are tools dependent. In this study we have considered comparison of CCCC, CKJM, Dependency Finder, Semmle, VizAnalyzer, JHawk Tool, Analyst 4j and OOMeter Tools.

Abstract: Presently large amount of data is available on social networking sites, product review sites, blogs, forums etc. This data holds expressed opinions and sentiments. The volume, variety, velocity are properties of data, whether it comes from the Internet or an enterprise resource planning system, sentiment analysis system should get the data and analyze it. Due to the large volume of opinion rich web resources such as discussion forum, review sites, blogs and news corpora available in digital form, much of the current research is focusing on the area of sentiment analysis and opinion mining. Expression of any sentiment is a mixture of text, prosody, facial expression, body posture etc. Thus only text input cannot fully represent a sentiment. A multimodal system uses a combination of input modes e.g. text and audio or text and video or all of these three. This paper analyses the techniques used for sentiment data and also demonstrate that how individual model works. Extracting the sentiments from different input modes is achieved by different classifying techniques. The proposed method first digitizes the signal to extract the required properties. According to emotional Prosody studies, the tone of every person’s voice can be characterized by its pitch, loudness or intensity, timbre, speech rate and pauses, whose changes convey different information from the speaker to the listener

Abstract: The major dilemmas faced due to improper waste management include health risks to humankind and environmental concerns. We in India generates over 150,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day, with Mumbai being the world’s fifth most wasteful city. Yet, only 83% of the waste is collected and less than 30% is treated. According to the World Bank, India’s daily waste generation will reach 377,000 tonnes by 2025. Now blame urbanization and industrialization, but the consequences of India’s megacities producing tonnes of waste are tangible and troubling. The unprocessed waste contains different types of solid waste like metallic & organic material, which can be used for recycling and composting purpose. As it’s very necessary to segregate the solid waste with a more efficient and intelligent approach. The robots are very much capable of doing such things on behalf of the human. Robots are easily programmable to do such tasks. By using the robots, the reduction of manpower will take place with the prevention of human contacts with chemically hazardous substances. Robots use technologies like artificial intelligence & machine learning to achieve such a complex task. These technologies empower machines a smart understanding to think like a human being. By developing such understanding for a robot, we can assume that in the future a robot can take place of the human in such a place of work where humans suffer most physically and mentally.

Abstract: Demand for data services from a few Kilobytes to several Gigabytes over the last 25 years has led to the development of several mobile and wireless standards. Unfortunately, the spectrum required for these services to operate is becoming scarce not because of shortage but because of under-utilization as several spectrum occupancy measurements have shown over the years. The solution then has to be a dynamic spectrum access approach where licensed and unlicensed users could share the spectrum without causing interference to the licensed user. This concept known as Cognitive Radio (CR) was envisioned by Mitola promises to solve this problem. Radio Environment Map (REM) is one of the central tools at the heart of CR as it constructs a comprehensive map of the CR network storing information on physical network, policies, regulation, licensed user profile and activity. In this research, a general overview on REM construction is presented. From the architecture to the techniques applied in constructing REMs. The performance of propagation models employed in this process is also presented. Finally the quality metrics used to determine the accuracy of the constructed REMs is given

Abstract: Underground mines are more hazardous in nature and always contain unsafe for their workers. Every year, underground mining causes huge losses due to accidents and disaster. There is the need to develop an effective, secure, reliable and low-cost surveillance and safety system in underground mine environments. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly being used for such application. Since wireless sensor nodes are highly energy constrained devices and they have limited battery life due to various constraints of sensor nodes such as size and cost, etc. Therefore, optimal usage of node energy is the major challenge in wireless sensor networks. Clustering of sensor nodes is an effective method to use the node energy optimally and prolong lifetime of such energy constrained wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient wireless sensor node with cluster head rotation algorithm for supervising the underground mine environment. Proposed clustering algorithm ensures balanced size cluster formation and it has been proposed to achieve balanced energy consumption among nodes.

Abstract: Multi-Sensor health and wellness tracking systems are utilized to forecast future occasions of our health and wellness system. Each sensor produces a whopping quantity of data per 2nd and also requires to be refined in real-time. At the very same time, health and wellness tracking systems are battery ran, hence they have stiff restraints on power and also the location of the processing platform. Furthermore, health and wellness surveillance systems need to be precise, hence we adjust artificial intelligence methods to boost discovery precision. We recommend a programmable Big Data Processing structure to decrease on-chip interactions as well as calculations, therefore minimizing the power of the processing. We incorporate a low-overhead laying out structure with a low-power programmable PENC many-core platform. The laying out method decreases the data interactions and also calculations, furthermore processing time is reduced by parallel processing on the many-core platform. For the presentation we reveal seizure discovery application with 22-channel of electroencephalograph (EEG), each network creates 256 examples per 2nd calling for overall of 88 Kbps data price. The calculations are lowered by 16 while the power intake of processing is minimized approximately 68%. For compression prices of 2-16, the seizure discovery efficiency for the level of sensitivity and also uniqueness is broken down by 2.07% and also 2.97%, specifically for Logistic Regression classifier.

Abstract: The data Structures used in concurrent systems need to be modified. Modifications of shared data structures are done in several steps. If these steps are interleaved with modifications from other tasks, this can result in inconsistency of the data structure. Therefore the data structure needs to be protected from other tasks modifying it while the operation is executing. This can either be done using mutual exclusion or non-blocking methods. The focus of this paper is to give a review on efficient and practical non-blocking implementations of shared data structure and suggest alternative scheme in this direction.

Abstract: Wireless sensors which are used for sensing any event can be made intelligent by adding cognitive sensors. Cognitive agents are capable of making proactive choices according to the current situation based on the requirement needed in a WSN, to achieve the end to end goals of the network deployed even during the complex situation and with constraints scenario. The cognitive layer can be added to any network deployed in any application environment and it can be made intelligent. The cognitive sensor is a recent technology, and this literature survey reviews how cognitive layer has been implemented in various applications. Energy loss is one of the major impediments in all WSNs. This literature survey shows how energy efficiency can be minimized.

Abstract: In the designed system we can easily communicate with our vehicle from anywhere with the help of GSM and we can command our vehicle according to our need via message to avoid stealing of our vehicle. The existing security system is based on buzzer and is a single password system that cans we easily stolen. The designed system “Smart Security System for Vehicle” is based on OTP, being sent to the owner registered number, the owner has to enter the OTP to turn ON the ignition system, and the OTP is random so it can’t be stolen by another person. If somehow OTP is cracked by someone than owner can easily stop the vehicle from anywhere with the help of mobile phone. Also, the vehicle owner can easily trace the location of his / her vehicle from anywhere with the help of GPS.

Abstract: In modern times, face recognition is the key aspect of computer vision. There are at least two reasons for this trend the first is the commercial software, and the second is the availability of practical technologies after years of research. Due to the very nature of the problem, computer scientists, neuro-scientists, and psychologists all share a keen interest in this field.  We proposed a system that is based on face detection and recognition algorithms, which automatically detects the student when he/she enters in the classroom and marks the attendance by recognizing him/her. This system is developed by capturing real-time human faces in the class. Finally, the absentee lists are displayed on android application for confirmation. This System can be used in Government Schools and Colleges to monitor and validate attendance. Keywords: Attendance, Opencv, CNN, Question Paper

Abstract: Breast cancer could be a considerable prime cause that affects the lives of women's and results in death all round the world. Consistent with applied math information from the WCR, the proportion of breast tumors in cancers diagnosed is up to thirtieth, leading to fifteenth death because of cancer worldwide. The goal of the primary stage is to boost the image mistreatment totally different pre-processing filters that removes the noise and highlights the tumor region. Within the next stage, tumor is extracted from increased pictures mistreatment projected segmentation techniques classified as delicate, benign and malignant.

Abstract: Image compression is one of the important technologies in multimedia communications, that has been much attention in the past decades, where the two techniques Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Set-Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) have great influence on its performance. Due to the properties of fast computation, low memory requirement, adaptive Lifting DWT has been adopted as a new technique for still image compression. Furthermore, the traditional DWT and SPIHT have the drawback of long bits output and time consuming. In this paper we produce a new technique named adaptive Lifting DWT. An Adaptive Lifting DWT that locally adapts the filtering directions to image content based on directional lifting. This technique using the new algorithm that detects all the blocks in a given image to decide whether the block is homogenous or heterogeneous block. For homogeneous block, the simple Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used. And for the heterogeneous block Lifting Wavelet Transform is used. In this technique image quality is measured objectively, using peak signal noise ratio or picture quality scale, and subjectively, using perceived image quality.

Abstract: Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are used to maintain the history of the Patient’s records. But it is entirely controlled by the hospitals. Patients face a critical need to focus on the details of their own healthcare and restore management of their own medical data. The rapid development of block chain technology promotes a secure healthcare system, including medical records as well as patient-related data. This technology provides patients with an extensive, unaltered records and provides access to EHRs free from service providers and treatment websites. To guarantee the validity of EHRs encapsulated in block chain, we present an attribute-based signature scheme with multiple authorities, in which a patient endorses a message according to the attribute while disclosing no information other than the evidence that he has attested to it.

Abstract: Ransomware attacks have risen exponentially over the past decade with increasing severity, potency to cause damage, and ease of carrying out attack. The conventional anti-malware techniques are compelled to include advanced ransomware detection mechanisms. This paper presents the results of the study and analysis of ransomware executable files in order to identify the characteristic properties that distinguish ransomware from other malware and benign executable files. The program binaries are analyzed statically and dynamically to observe the typical behaviour and structure of the ransomware. Using the static analysis technique, Ransomware - specific properties are extracted from the executable files. The experiments show that higher accuracy of classification, using machine learning algorithms, is achieved by combining these properties with the set of generic malware properties for malware detection.

Abstract: In this paper,  RFID based Door access control using Arduino is based upon security access and control system using RFID and Arduino. The embedded chips in RFID use radio signals to capture and read information on the object.  Barcodes labels have been in the industry for over more than 30 years but over a past decade, new technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) have diminished the luster of barcodes. RFID technology is significant and consistent means to identify the material. Arduino helps to design the circuit and  makes  programming a lot easier to understand.
