subject: Binarization Approach (BA); Feature Extraction; Gabor Filter (GF); MRI Images; Thresholding Approach (TA)
description: Lung cancer is one of the hazardous disease which leads to high death rates in the world. A cancer is an irregular growth of cells that can be characteristically derived from a single irregular cell and that may spread to whole part of the lung. So, it is necessary to find it at the earlier stages and take basic steps to cure.CT scan is one of the sensitive method used in the medical field for treating the patients. The quality of the image is very important for detection of lung cancer. Pre-processing of an image is a necessary process, as there is a difficulty in detecting cancer cells in an image due to the presence of noise and low-quality of images. To reduce the volume of these problems, diagnosis of lung cancer steps like image enhancement, image segmentation, feature extraction methods can be used. For processing and implementation of these methods Matlab tool has been used. This paper focuses on improving the quality of image and to optimise the work. Implementation is done using image processing toolbox that is available in Matlab tool.The whole idea of this research is to show the improved work in the existing system and to get more agreeable results.

Experimenting with ONOS scalability on software defined network
subject: Docker; Gnuplot; IPerf; Mininet; ONOS; OpenFlow; Software defined netwoks (SDN)
description: In traditional network, a developer cannot change the configuration of a router with software programs to control the behavior of the network switches due to closed vendor specific configuration scripts. In order to make the routers/switches programmable, a new architecture of network has to be developed and this gave rise to Software defined networks. It is the new architecture for Computer Networks in which, the old traditional architecture is slowly depreciated. It is very difficult to adapt new technology especially to decide upon which controller has to be considered and what may be its scalability to compete the dynamic circumstances of networks. Many researches are working on possible solutions and look upon SDN to overcome the traditional network limitations. There are many SDN controllers existing amongst them, some are OpenDaylight, Floodlight, Onos, Ryu, Beacon etc. From the existing multiple controllers serving the SDN services to the network, Onos is one of the Controller. ONOS can be deployed on Docker container and it is accessed using its IP as a host. In this paper, authors are contributing for the evaluation of the Performance to check the Scalability of ONOS controller by taking many scenarios which are experimented on the simulation tool of Mininet, Onos Controller, Docker and iPerf. ONOS Controller?s simulated environments are observed for its throughput evaluated in dynamic conditions of a network over Mesh topology by gradually increasing the number of hosts until its supported by the system with optimum resource utilization. 2018, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc..

Thermal Marangoni convection in two-phase flow of dusty Casson fluid
subject: Casson fluid; Dusty fluid; Marangoni convection; Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method; Two-phase flow
description: This paper deals with the thermal Marangoni convection effects in magneto-Casson liquid flow through suspension of dust particles. The transpiration cooling aspect is accounted. The surface tension is assumed to be fluctuating linearly with temperature. The fluid and dust particle's temperature of the interface is chosen as a quadratic function of interface arc length. The governing problem is modelled by conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy for fluid and dust particle phase. Stretching transformation technique is utilized to form ordinary differential equations from the partial differential equations. Later, the numerical solutions based on Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method are established. The momentum and heat transport distributions are focused on the outcome of distinct governing parameters. The results of Nusselt number is also presented and discussed. It is established that the heat transfer rate is higher in the case of dusty non-Newtonian fluid than dusty Newtonian fluid. The rate of heat transfer can be enhanced by suspending dust particles in a base liquid. 2017

Significance of key distribution using quantum cryptography
subject: Classical key distribution; Photon polarization; QKD; Quantum cryptography; Quantum key distribution; Quantum mechanics; Qubits
description: The main challenge to the cryptosystems is providing secrecy in distributing key. This challenge is explained through key distribution problem. The key distribution in classical cryptosystems is based on classical information or bits. As bits can be replicable, there will be scope for an eavesdropper to make copies of information. The classical key distribution methods rely on computational assumptions which are not potential to offer anticipated results. Consequently, it is solved using laws of quantum mechanics, and the solution is Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). In QKD, the bits are encoded into quantum states or qubits using photon polarization. The qubits cannot be replicated as per the laws of quantum mechanics. An attempt to replication will introduce errors. Thus an eavesdropping will inevitably lead to detectable traces and then the legitimate entities will decide upon discarding a particular qubit. BB84 protocol is the first QKD protocol evolved in 1984. This paper notifies the significance of QKD over key distribution performed using classical methods. It is evidently shown that the time taken to distribute a secret key through BB84 QKD protocol is comparatively less than the classical methods of key distribution. 2018 ICIC International.

Parallel queue scheduling in Dynamic Cloud environment using Backfilling algorithm
subject: Backfilling; Cloud computing; Dynamic cloud; Gang scheduling; Grid computing; Largest queue; Load balancing; Shortest queue; Task scheduling; Thread
description: Cloud Computing reshapes the entire computing paradigm. In general, cloud computing means outsourcing available services and data storage in centralized scenario. In cloud computing task allocation is a major problem because multiple numbers of tasks are allocated to multiple numbers of processors for simultaneous processing. From the given list, tasks are queued according to the ascending order based on their duration. This paper is designed to solve the Task Scheduling problem, by using our proposed effective new approach of Backfilling algorithm. Depending upon the task duration, tasks are split into multiple threads for processing. Multiple thread tasks are processed in the basic concept of "gang scheduling" technique. Here we implement new backfilling algorithm concept to minimize the idle processing time of the processors. The existing Simple Backfilling Algorithm (SBA) is used to minimize the ideal time processing. Whereas comparatively Dynamic Cloud Scheduling using Backfilling Algorithm (DCBA) is designed to reduce the ideal time processing than SBA to carry out the process of both LQueue and SQueue simultaneously. At the outset, DCBA reduces the average waiting time. As mentioned the algorithm which is specified in the previous line that contains three level which represent the working speed of the algorithm. The first and second level of DCBA algorithm is comparatively similar to the performance of SBA algorithm. The maximum better performance was given in a queue size (q=1.5) by DCBA algorithm as compare to SBA algorithm. The existing type (Gang Scheduling) consist of two approaches namely Adaptive First Come First Serve (AFCFS) and Largest Job First Served (LJFS) that focus on non-parallel jobs with deadline. When compare to existing gang scheduling algorithm and SBA algorithm the average waiting time of DCBA has slight improvement in the loader level of the key. As the separation of the queue like LQ and SQ the waiting time and average waiting time is …

Exploration of Chemical Reaction Effects on Entropy Generation in Heat and Mass Transfer of Magneto-Jeffery Liquid
subject: chemical reaction; cross diffusion; entropy generation; heat source/sink; Jeffery fluid; MHD
description: In many chemical engineering processes, a chemical reaction between a foreign mass and the fluid does occur. These processes find relevance in polymer production, oxidation of solid materials, ceramics or glassware manufacturing, tubular reactors, food processing, and synthesis of ceramic materials. Therefore, an exploration of homogeneous first-order chemical reaction effects on heat and mass transfer along with entropy analysis of Jeffrey liquid flow towards a stretched isothermal porous sheet is performed. Fluid is conducting electrically in the company of transverse magnetic field. Variations in heat and mass transfer mechanisms are accounted in the presence of viscous dissipation, heat source/sink and cross-diffusion aspects. The partial differential equations system governing the heat transfer of Jeffery liquid is reformed to the ordinary differential system through relevant transformations. Numerical solutions based on Runge-Kutta shooting method are obtained for the subsequent nonlinear problem. A parametric exploration is conducted to reveal the tendency of the solutions. The present study reveals that the Lorentz force due to magnetism can be used as a key parameter to control the flow fields. Entropy number is larger for higher values of Deborah and Brinkman numbers. It is also established that the concentration species field and its layer thickness of the Jeffery liquid decreases for a stronger chemical reaction aspect. To comprehend the legitimacy of numerical results a comparison with the existing results is made in this exploration and alleged an admirable agreement. 2018 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2018.

Hall effects on dusty nanofluid two-phase transient flow past a stretching sheet using KVL model
subject: Dusty fluid; Hall current; Mixed convection; Nanofluid; Nanoparticles; Unsteady flow
description: The influence of Hall current on the time-dependent flow of nanofluid in the presence of dust particles is investigated. The water-based copper nanoliquid containing fine dust particles occupies a stretching surface. The effective thermal conductivity and the viscosity of the nanoliquid are estimated by KVL (Khanafer-Vafai-Lightstone) model. The notion of boundary layer approximation is employed to model the governing equations for both nanofluid and dust phases. Similarity transformations are employed to obtain ordinary differential equations from the governed partial differential equations. The numeric solutions are developed via Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme. The graphical illustrations are to explain the impacts of the governing parameters on flow fields. It is established that the nanofluid's Nusselt number increases due to the suspension of dust particles. An enhancement of heat transfer rate has a direct relationship with Hall current and unsteadiness. 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Fishing in the Troubled Waters: Fishermen Issue in IndiaSri Lanka Relations
subject: bottom trawling; EEZ; fisheries line; IUCN; Kachchathivu; LTTE; Operation Tasha; Rameswaram; tsunami; uti possidetis juris; Wadge Bank
description: Indias relations with its neighbours in the maritime domain have received less scholarly attention. Those studies that deal with Indias relations with its South Asian neighbours generally touch on political security, socio-cultural and economic issues. The maritime aspect is either ignored or tucked in as a part of other dimensions. The present study attempts to fill the gap in the literature by taking up the case of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is chosen as a case, not only because the island state is Indias closest maritime neighbour but also due to the existence of deep interactions between the two countries in diverse fields both at governmental and non-governmental levels. In the maritime domain, in the present context, technically speaking, there is no problem between the two countries. However, the fishermen issue remains one of the issues principally because of the Tamil Nadu factor. Analysing the issue in five phases, the study argues for a comprehensive approach for its settlement.1. 2018, 2018 Indian Council of World Affairs.

Heat and mass transfer effects on non-newtonian fluid flow over an unsteady stretching surface with viscous dissipation and thermal radiation
subject: Casson fluid; Heat and mass transfer; MHD; Numerical solution; Radiation; Unsteady stretching sheet
description: This paper analyzes the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of non-Newtonian Casson fluid towards an unsteady permeable stretching surface. An external transverse magnetic field is applied normal to the sheet. The effects of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation are considered in energy equation. Rosseland approximation is used to model the radiative heat transfer. With the aid of similarity transformations, the unsteady boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of resulting non-linear differential equations are solved by using efficient fourth-fifth order Runge-Kutta Feldberg method. The obtained numerical results are compared and found to be in good agreement with previously published results. Behavior of emerging parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed and presented graphically. Further, variation of the reduced skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood number against physical parameters in graphical and tabular form are presented and discussed in detail. It is found that the effects of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation are favorable for thickening the thermal boundary layer. 2018 Pushpa Publishing House, Allahabad, India.

Cognitive marketing and purchase decision with reference to pop up and banner advertisements
subject: Banner advertisements; Consumers buying behavior; Pop-Up advertisements; Ugly truth
description: The aim of this research paper is to employ a mixed research approach and to check how the past data differs from the present and hence it uses an argument mapping to find the reality using focus group. Since genders have different opinion on pop-up and banner advertisements, two focus groups, one group consisting the female gender and the other focus group consisting the male respondents have been taken for the data collection. Small sample has been used for the argument mapping (N=45/Male) and (N=47/Female). A series of steps has been conducted in the argument mapping and relevant maps have been developed for drawing inference. It is found that, male have no patience to deal with the pop-up and banner advertisements but women are keener and patient enough to make the best use of these advertisements. On the other hand a questionnaire was framed from the variables found from the literature review and the same was distributed to both the genders and it was found collectively that though pop-up advertisements and banner advertisements are useful in some way, it is always considered to be a negative aspect. Misleading advertisements, data security scam are a few negative aspects of such advertisements and hence, there are a lot of ugly truth behind pop up and banner advertisements. The mixed research approach (triangulation) between the quantitative and qualitative is a new initiative taken by the researchers in this research and holds originality of the study. 2018 Academic Research Publishing Group.

Crystal shape engineering and studies on the performance of vapour deposited InSe platelets
description: The influence of growth conditions on the morphology of stoichiometric indium monoselenide (InSe) crystals has been explored. Crystalline habits such as microfibres, needles, platelets and spherulites were obtained from physical vapour deposition by optimizing supersaturation, which sturdily depends on the temperature difference between charge (TC) and substrate (TS) zones ?T, (= TC ? TS). Morphology and growth mechanism were investigated with the aid of scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which justified the layer by layer addition of atoms as per the KosselStranskiVolmer model. Thermogravimetric measurements revealed the stability of InSe, confirming its melting point, M.P. = 611C, which reflects the formation of monophase. The mobility and carrier concentration calculated from the Hall effect experiment are found to be 11.14cm2V?1s?1 and 1.52 1020cm?3 respectively. Furthermore, optical characterizations such as UVVisNIR and photoluminescence spectrometric analysis established the value of band gap as 1.45eV, manifesting the versatility of the grown semiconducting platelets for photovoltaic applications. 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
