Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The U.S. Clean Air Act, last amended in 1990, requires the U.S. Envi-ronmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to set National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for pollutants considered harmful to public health
and the environment. The Clean Air Act established two types of
national air quality standards. Primary standards set limits to protect
public health, including the health of “sensitive” populations such as
asthmatics, children, and the elderly. Secondary standards set limits to
protect public welfare, including protection against decreased visibility,
damage to animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings. The EPA Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) established National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for seven principal pollutants, called
“criteria” pollutants. They are listed in the following table. Units of
measure for the standards are parts per million (ppm) by volume, mil-ligrams
per cubic meter of air (mg/m3), and micrograms per cubic
meter of air (μg/m3).

within an area must not exceed 50 μg/m3.
3 To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the annual arithmetic mean PM2.5 concentrations from
single or multiple community-oriented monitors must not exceed 15.0 ug/m3.
4 To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the 98th percentile of 24-hour concentrations at each pop-ulation-
oriented monitor within an area must not exceed 65 μg/m3.
5 To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone
concentrations measured at each monitor within an area over each year must not exceed 0.08 ppm.
6 (a) The standard is attained when the expected number of days per calendar year with maximum
hourly average concentrations above 0.12 ppm is <= 1.
(b) The 1-hour NAAQS will no longer apply to an area one year after the effective date of the designa-tion
of that area for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The effective designation date for most areas is June 15,
2004. (40 CFR 50.9; see Federal Register of April 30, 2004 [69 FR 23996].

Air Quality Index
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is an index for reporting daily air quality. It
tells how clean or polluted the air is, and what associated health effects
might be a concern. The AQI focuses on why health effects might be
experienced within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA
calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean
Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate
matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. An AQI
value of 100 generally corresponds to the national air quality standard
for the pollutant, which is the level EPA has set to protect public health.
AQI values below 100 are generally thought of as satisfactory. When
AQI values are above 100, air quality is considered to be unhealthy — at
first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI val-ues
get higher. To make it easier to understand, the AQI is divided into
six categories:
Air Quality Index
(AQI) Values
Levels of Health
Concern
Each category corresponds to a different level of health concern. The
six levels of health concern and what they mean are:
• “Good” The AQI value for your community is between 0 and 50. Air
quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no
risk.
• “Moderate” The AQI for your community is between 51 and 100.
Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be
a moderate health concern for a very small number of people. For
example, people who are unusually sensitive to ozone may experi-ence
respiratory symptoms.

is in this range:

201 to 300 Very Unhealthy Purple
301 to 500 Hazardous Maroon
5. 244 ISA Handbook of Measurement Equations and Tables
• “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” When AQI values are between
101 and 150, members of sensitive groups may experience health
effects. This means they are likely to be affected at lower levels than
the general public. For example, people with lung disease are at
greater risk from exposure to ozone, while people with either lung
disease or heart disease are at greater risk from exposure to particle
pollution. The general public is not likely to be affected when the AQI
is in this range.
• “Unhealthy” Everyone may begin to experience health effects
when AQI values are between 151 and 200. Members of sensitive
groups may experience more serious health effects.
• “Very Unhealthy” AQI values between 201 and 300 trigger a health
alert, meaning everyone may experience more serious health effects.
• “Hazardous” AQI values over 300 trigger health warnings of emer-gency
conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.

Airborne Contaminants
An ISA standard, ISA-71.04-1985, Environmental Conditions for Process
Measurement and Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants, classifies
airborne contaminants that may affect process measurement and con-trol
instruments. The standard establishes airborne contaminant
classes for fixed (non-mobile) installations during normal operation
(non-emergency conditions) or during transportation and storage. The
classification consists of a class contaminant letter followed by a sever-ity
identification numeral.
Airborne Contaminants — Liquids, Vapors, Aerosols, Sea Salt Mist
Liquids — This refers to liquids that will corrode unprotected equip-ment
and are typically transported to the equipment by condensation,
rain, splashing liquids, or cleaning fluids sprayed from hoses. The
majority of these are not classified, but should be specified to the man-ufacturers
of equipment by special classification LX.
Vapors — Solvents sometimes occur as vapors which may condense
and form puddles that become corrosive to instruments and controls.
Aerosols — Aerosols are liquids carried in gas or air in the form of
small droplets generating mists. Aerosols can vary in composition and
are a major source of chemical contamination to equipment.
Sea Salt Mist — Class LC1: Inland more than 0.5 km from shore;
Class LC2: Inland less than 0.5 km from shore; Class LC3: Offshore
installations (oil rigs, etc.)

Airborne Contaminants — Solids
Dust is a universal contaminant and is a cause of environmentally
induced equipment failures. Failure modes may be mechanical, chemi-cal,
electrical, thermal, or magnetic. To maximize equipment reliability
and life, every effort should be made to minimize exposure to airborne
particulates. The sensitivity of control equipment to different types of
particulates varies widely. In the table below, solid particulates are
classified by size. The environment should be described in terms of
concentration severity level for each class, Classes SA through SD.

Airborne Contaminants — Gases
Two methods have been used for environmental characterization. One is
a direct measure of selected gaseous air pollutants. The other, which can
be termed “reactivity monitoring,” provides a quantitative measure of the
overall corrosion potential of an environment. High values will confirm
that a severe environment exists. The reverse, however, is not necessarily
true. Industrial environments may contain a complex mixture of contami-nants
that interact to greatly accelerate (or retard) the corrosive action of
individual gas species. To avoid these practical difficulties, the nature of
industrial environments is defined in terms of the rate at which they react
with copper. Copper has been selected as the coupon material because
data exists which correlates copper film formation with reactive (corro-sive)
environments. Four levels of corrosion severity are established in
Table 3. Concentration levels of some gases that contribute to these reac-tivity
rates are also cited:
Severity level G1: Mild — An environment sufficiently well-controlled
such that corrosion is not a factor in determining equipment reliability.
Severity level G2: Moderate — An environment in which the effects
of corrosion are measurable and may be a factor in determining equip-ment
reliability.
Severity level G3: Harsh — An environment in which there is a high
probability that corrosive attack will occur. These harsh levels should
prompt further evaluation resulting in environmental controls or spe-cially
designed and packaged equipment.
Severity level GX: Severe — An environment in which only specially
designed and packaged equipment would be expected to survive.
Specifications for equipment in this class are a matter of negotiation
between user and supplier.
