The increasing demand for water arising from global population growth and urbanization in recent years is stressing the water supply to its limits. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will experience absolute water scarcity, and 2/3 of the world will be living under water-stressed conditions [1-2]. Neural networks have proved to be an apt approach for water leakage detection as they have the best and most extensive reach on the problem owing to their computational nature. They do not any have basic flaws unlike alternate methods like leakage detection using acoustic sensors which cannot differentiate between spikes in flow and leakage. They are a flexible and efficient approach to detection of leakages in water distribution networks. According to an inquiry made by the International Water Supply Association (IWSA), the amount of lost or “unaccounted for water” (UFW) is typically in the range of 20–30% of production[3]. In this project, a neural network model is proposed for detection and location of leakages in the pipes based on pressure values from sensors deployed along the pipeline. The network is initially trained using these pressure values and can then be used to detect abnormalities in the readings which can be due to leakages. The open source tool used to develop this model is Neuroph Studio. Neuroph is a neural network framework written in Java. It can be used to create and train neural networks in Java programs. Neuroph provides Java class library as well as GUI tool to quickly create Java neural network components. The model consisting of a multilayer perceptron neural network identifies simultaneous leakages in multiple regions successfully. When the size of the input dataset increases from a set of 10 values to a set of 1500 values, the mean square error of outputs increases by 128 times. But when this change is from a set of 1500 values to a set of 12000 values, the mean square error increases by 1.6 times. Thus, the total mean square error decreases drastically with the increase in input size, leading to the conclusion that the model is stable and scalable.

Online voting is as an election system that utilizes the internet to ensure access to a domain or website and allows the eligible voters to cast their secure and secret ballot electronically. It is done by casting a ballot through a digital system over the internet. An attempt has been made to develop an electronic voting system with token generation for authenticating the voters during elections. The voting system has the client side and the administrative side. The client side is for the voters and the administrative side is handled by election officers. The registration and verification of voters are done by the election officers by entering the required data. After these entries, the system accepts the inputs and automatically generates the token. During the election the voter’s login with their generated token as the voters’ ID and a password assigned to each voter. After filling the portal, the voter gets access to vote for their preferred candidate. The system does not allow multiple votes with the same generated token. As voting proceeds, the system counts the number of votes for a candidate and at the same time the total number of voters. PHP (Hypertext preprocessor) was used for implementing the online model of the application, CSS (Cascadian stylesheet) was used to beautify the pages and MySQL was used as the database engine.

The Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in men and women and the most common in postoperative patients.

Polyaniline salts were synthesized at room temperature (300 C) by electrochemical oxidation using primary dopants such as HCL, HNO3, H2SO4 and CH3COOH. All the synthesized PANI have resulted in emeraldine salt form as indicated by dark green colour of the salts. Various characterization techniques employed were UV-Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR and Cyclic voltammetry studies. All these techniques confirm the various properties of PANI. The characteristic peaks in the UV-Visible spectra of the samples indicate that effective doping has occurred in the synthesized polymer polymers. Quinoid and benzenoid bands at 1553-1596 cm-1 and 1437 – 1496 cm-1 respectively were observed in all the samples. The band gaps for all the samples were obtained using the absorption spectra and Stern relation. PANI-H2SO4 had the least band gap whereas PANI-CH3COOH had the highest band gap. The voltammograph showed the various oxidation states during the electrochemical deposition at a potential of 0.8 V. Four probe Method was used to study the conductivity of both thin films deposited on ITO slides. The conductivity values for PANI-H2SO4 were found to be 3.424 S.cm-1for thin film. By comparing the four samples’ p - p* transition, from the strongest to the weakest were in the order: , PANI-H2SO4 followed by PANI-HCl then PANI-HNO3 and the weakest been PANI-CH3COOH. This suggests that polaron charge carriers are responsible for the high conductivity in H2SO4 doped PANI.

In this study, aluminum white-powdered sludge, which is an industrial waste product from the aluminum-anodizing industry, is used as an admixture in cement paste to observe its effects on the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance in the reinforced steel bars. The mass ratio of cement and aluminum white-powdered sludge (particularly 1.00:0.05, 1.00:0.1, and 1.00:0.2) is used to prepare cement paste by using 48.5 wt.% water ratio. The effect of the mass ratio of cement and aluminum whitepowdered sludge (average particle size of the aluminum white-powdered sludge is less than 45 µm in diameter) on porosity, bulk density, compressive strength, and corrosion resistance have been centered around for this study. Based upon the results of study, as the quantity of the aluminum white-powdered sludge increases, the porosity of cement paste also increases; yet the bulk density and compressive strength of the paste, on the other hands, decrease. However, it was found that the addition of the aluminum whitepowdered sludge to the cement paste causes more corrosion on reinforced steel bars and also more damaged on the cement pastes.

In this study, aluminum dross, which is an industrial waste product from the aluminum casting industry, is used as an admixture in cement paste to observe its effects on the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance in the reinforced steel bars. The mass ratios of cement and aluminum dross used to prepare the cement paste with the controlled water ratio of 48.5 wt.%are1.00:0.05, 1.00:0.1, and 1.00:0.2. The effect the mass ratios of cement and aluminum dross and the average particle sizes of the aluminum dross (<45, 60 and 90 µm in diameter) on porosity, bulk density, compressive strength, and corrosion on the reinforced steel bars have been centered around. The results show that as the quantity of the aluminum dross increases, the porosity of cement paste increases but the bulk density and compressive strength of the paste decrease. In addition, as the particle size of the aluminum dross increases, both pore’s size and bulk density increase but the compressive strength decreases. Nevertheless, it found that the addition of aluminum dross to the cement paste causes more corrosion on reinforced steel bar and also more fractured on cement paste.

Condition Monitoring technique acts as revolutionary mechanism because of effective, quick, reliable and cost effective application to uphold, maximize, optimize uninterrupted operation of high end equipment’s, in particular and all operating equipment’s, in general specially in power plant. Various methods are been adopted in this technique in which vibration analysis, wear debris analysis, thermography etc., are most common, widely recognized and in practice for carrying out condition monitoring program. These methods acts as preventive and proactive approach in identifying wear in machines and diagnose fault occurred in the machinery. Generally these condition monitoring techniques are isolated, carried out independently by respective departments, analyzed separately without establishing correlation between these techniques, leading to generation of separate reports for each technique. This leads to only a part of turbine faults typically get diagnosed. Therefore integration of these techniques can provide greater, deeper, and more reliable quick information leading to effective diagnosis of turbine in more accurate way. This paper deals with integrations and optimization of all various condition monitoring techniques that can be carried out simultaneously on turbine leading to early detection of problem and proper diagnosis to be carried out resulting in minimizing operating cost, avoid unplanned breakdown, and to maintain uninterrupted operation of turbine.
