Steganography using Improved LSB Approach and Asymmetric Cryptography
Steganography deals with the craft of obscuring private data inside a spread media. In confidential data communication security is a vital issue. In this paper, we use a two-layer security. At first, data encryption is achieved by the method of RSA algorithm of asymmetric cryptography, and later the ciphered data is hidden into host image by an innovative embedding technique. To hide our ciphered data into host image, we modify the existing LSB technique and use a mapping function that ensures a secure and confidential image steganography resulting in a stego image. Here cryptography is blended with steganography and provides two level security in the confidential data transmission over the internet. 2020 IEEE. -

STATUS OF WOMEN IN FAMILY: A STUDY AMONG WOMEN WORKERS OF ORGANISED AND UNORGANISED SECTORS IN URBAN BANGALORE
This is a study conducted amongst working women of the Organised and Unorganised sector in Urban Bangalore. It is an attempt to understand the status of working women within their family by looking at their involvement in key decision making areas. The key areas that have been identified are distribution of household duties and money related decisions. Patriarchal traditions divide household into two domains the female and male domains. The female domain includes household responsibilities like child care, cooking and cleaning that belong to the woman of the house while the male domain includes money related issues where men are the primary breadwinners and decision makers at home. The study looks at the aspect that despite contributing to the family income, working women have very little involvement in the key decisions of the family. The topic of the study has been crystallised after conducting informal discussions with working women of Organised and Unorganised sectors. During the discussions women stated that even though they are working and making contribution to the household income, they do not feel a part of the key decision making areas within the household. The topic of this study has been chosen to clearly understand the role of working women in decision making at home. The two sectors have been chosen to understand the difference in the attitudes of women working in both sectors given the disparity in the level of their income. Random sampling method has been used to select the samples. The total sample size is 129, 66 from Organised sector and 63 from Unorganised sector. The area chosen for data collection from the Organised sector is software firms, apparel firm, educational institutions, insurance firms and banks. In the Unorganised sector the area chosen for the study is Rajendra Nagar, Koramangala in close vicinity to National Games Village, a residential complex. The respondents work as domestic cleaners and housekeeping staff in National Games Village. Primary data has been collected using questionnaire method substantiated by the case study method. The questionnaire had 58 questions along with four case studies. There are four case studies which focus on the involvement of working women from Organised and Unorganised sectors in decision making within the family to get a better understanding of their day to day lives. The findings of the study are discussed in this dissertation. -

Statistical features from frame aggregation and differences for human gait recognition
Human gait recognition, an alternate biometric technique, received significant attention in the last decade. As many gait recognition applications require real-time response, the primary concern is to design efficient and straightforward gait features for human recognition. In this work, two novel gait features are proposed. Both features are designed by exploring the dynamic variations of different body parts during a gait cycle. The first feature set is based on one-against-all gait frame differences for person identification. This novel approach divides each frame in a gait cycle to blocks, compute the block sum, and then find the difference of respective block sum between the first frame and the rest. The second feature set is defined on the first-order statistics of the normalized sum of the frames in a cycle. Two other existing features- Centroid of Silhouette frames and feature values defined on Change Energy Images are also considered. Feature level fusion is realized by considering the different combinations of the four types of features. Experiments carried out with the CASIA Gait Dataset B demonstrated the proposals merit with high recognition accuracy. The outcome of the investigations is promising when compared to recent contributions. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC part of Springer Nature. -

Statistical and experimental studies of MoS2/g-C3N4/TiO2: a ternary Z-scheme hybrid composite
Abstract: A ternary photocatalyst, MoS2/g-C3N4/TiO2, was prepared using layered and exfoliated MoS2, g-C3N4, and TiO2 viahydrothermal and wet chemical method. It was characterized using various methods to evaluate the structural, morphological and optical properties. Successful incorporation of g-C3N4 and TiO2into MoS2 was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the formation of heterojunctions among MoS2, g-C3N4 and TiO2 particles was established by transmission electron microscopy. These hybrid composites exhibited excellent efficiency in the degradation of malachite green dye. The composite can be recycled four times without loss of photoactivity. The remarkable improvement in photocatalytic efficiency was because of the synergism among the three nanoparticlesthrough the Z-scheme pathway which allows separation of electronhole pairs and makes MoS2/g-C3N4/TiO2 an outstanding material in the fields of photocatalysis and water treatment. The optimized experimental conditions for the degradation of the dye were assessed by the BoxBehnken design of the response surface methodology.

Statistical analysis of stagnation-point heat flow in Williamson fluid with viscous dissipation and exponential heat source effects
This analysis explores the effect of the novel exponential space-dependent heat generation factor on the stagnation-point Williamson fluid flow over a stretchable surface. The heat transport phenomenon is carried out by the addition of viscous and Ohmic dissipations. Similarity transformations are applied to the nonlinear system of partial differential expressions that arise by the flow. The nonlinear ordinary differential system hence obtained is solved to visualize the role of different constraints graphically. Statistical methods such as correlation, probable error, and regression are utilized. The probable error is evaluated to calculate the reliability of the computed correlation factors. The study reveals that the velocity phenomenon is reduced by incrementing the Weissenberg parameter. The velocity of the hydromagnetic liquid is lesser than the velocity of magnetohydrodynamic fluid flow. Also, the higher heat generation factor gives a boost to the temperature of the flowing material. 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC -

STATIC PERFECT FLUID SPACE-TIME ON ALMOST KENMOTSU MANIFOLDS
In this work, we intend to investigate the characteristics of static perfect fluid space-time metrics on almost Kenmotsu manifolds. At first we prove that if a Kenmotsu manifold M is the spatial factor of static perfect fluid space-time then it is ?-Einstein. Moreover, if the Reeb vector field ? leaves the scalar curvature invariant, then M is Einstein. Next we consider static perfect fluid space-time on almost Kenmotsu (?, ?)0-manifolds and give some characteristics under certain conditions. 2021 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

Static perfect fluid space-Time and paracontact metric geometry
The main purpose of this paper is to study and explore some characteristics of static perfect fluid space-Time on paracontact metric manifolds. First, we show that if a K-paracontact manifold M2n+1 is the spatial factor of a static perfect fluid space-Time, then M2n+1 is of constant scalar curvature-2n(2n + 1) and squared norm of the Ricci operator is given by 4n2(2n + 1). Next, we prove that if a (?,?)-paracontact metric manifold M2n+1 with ? >-1 is a spatial factor of static perfect space-Time, then for n = 1, M2n+1 is flat, and for n > 1, M2n+1 is locally isometric to the product of a flat (n + 1)-dimensional manifold and an n-dimensional manifold of constant negative curvature-4. Further, we prove that if a paracontact metric 3-manifold M3 with Q? = ?Q is a spatial factor of static perfect space-Time, then M3 is an Einstein manifold. Finally, a suitable example has been constructed to show the existence of static perfect fluid space-Time on paracontact metric manifold. 2022 World Scientific Publishing Company. -
Static analysis tool for identification of permission misuse by android applications
Android is one of the most important and widely used mobile operating systems in the world. The Android operating system utilizes the permission-based model, which permits Android applications to get user data, framework data, gadget data and other assets of Smartphone. These permissions are affirmations declared by the developer of an application. The permissions granted varies from one application to another, depending on its functionality. During installation, permissions to access the resources of the smartphone are requested by apps. Once the client grants the permission, the apps are allowed to access the granted resources as per its requirement. Android OS is susceptible to different security issues owing to the loopholes in security. This paper mainly focuses on identifying how the permissions granted to a specific application is misused by another application using SharedUserID. The paper also proposes a security tool that identifies a list of applications which are misusing the permissions in a user's Android smartphone. The viability of the tool is tested by using a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) implementation of the security tool. Research India Publications. -
