Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of our country. Over 58 percent of the rural households depend on the agriculture sector as their means of livelihood. Agriculture is one of the major contributors to Gross Domestic Product(GDP). Seeds are the soul of agriculture. This application helps in reducing the time for the researchers as well as farmers to know the seedling parameters. The application helps the farmers to know about the percentage of seedlings that will grow and it is very essential in estimating the yield of that particular crop. Manual calculation may lead to some error, to minimize that error, the developed app is used. The scientist and farmers require the app to know about the physiological seed quality parameters and to take decisions regarding their farming activities. In this article a desktop app for seed germination percentage and vigour index calculation are developed in PHP scripting language.

Survey on Krishi-Mitra: Expert System for FarmersIJERA Editor
In agricultural sector, farmers in rural areas faced major problems because of illiteracy. They cannot take the advantage of internet to access the information related to farming. The information represented in icons will help the farmers to take the important decisions. Also there will be additional benefit to farmer as there is speech based interaction in Indian language with icons. According to UNESCO report, 64% population in India cannot use the internet due to lack of technical knowledge. Here, we are extending the approach from computer devices to small mobile devices application.
Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems have been used for the searching of relevant images in various research areas. In CBIR systems features such as shape, texture and color are used. The extraction of features is the main step on which the retrieval results depend. Color features in CBIR are used as in the color histogram, color moments, conventional color correlogram and color histogram. Color space selection is used to represent the information of color of the pixels of the query image. The shape is the basic characteristic of segmented regions of an image. Different methods are introduced for better retrieval using different shape representation techniques; earlier the global shape representations were used but with time moved towards local shape representations. The local shape is more related to the expressing of result instead of the method. Local shape features may be derived from the texture properties and the color derivatives. Texture features have been used for images of documents, segmentation-based recognition,and satellite images. Texture features are used in different CBIR systems along with color, shape, geometrical structure and sift features.
The cyber attacks have become most prevalent in the past few years. During this time, attackers have discovered new vulnerabilities to carry out malicious activities on the internet. Both the clients and the servers have been victimized by the attackers. Clickjacking is one of the attacks that have been adopted by the attackers to deceive the innocuous internet users to initiate some action. Clickjacking attack exploits one of the vulnerabilities existing in the web applications. This attack uses a technique that allows cross domain attacks with the help of userinitiated clicks and performs unintended actions. This paper traces out the vulnerabilities that make a website vulnerable to clickjacking attack and proposes a solution for the same.

What happens when adaptive video streaming players compete in time-varying ba...Eswar Publications
Competition among adaptive video streaming players severely diminishes user-QoE. When players compete at a bottleneck link many do not obtain adequate resources. This imbalance eventually causes ill effects such as screen flickering and video stalling. There have been many attempts in recent years to overcome some of these problems. However, added to the competition at the bottleneck link there is also the possibility of varying network bandwidth which can make the situation even worse. This work focuses on such a situation. It evaluates current heuristic adaptive video players at a bottleneck link with time-varying bandwidth conditions. Experimental setup includes the TAPAS player and emulated network conditions. The results show PANDA outperforms FESTIVE, ELASTIC and the Conventional players.

Bridging Centrality: Identifying Bridging Nodes in Transportation NetworkEswar Publications
To identify the importance of node of a network, several centralities are used. Majority of these centrality measures are dominated by components' degree due to their nature of looking at networks’ topology. We propose a centrality to identification model, bridging centrality, based on information flow and topological aspects. We apply bridging centrality on real world networks including the transportation network and show that the nodes distinguished by bridging centrality are well located on the connecting positions between highly connected regions. Bridging centrality can discriminate bridging nodes, the nodes with more information flowed through them and locations between highly connected regions, while other centrality measures cannot.

In today’s world migration of people from rural areas to urban areas is quite common. Health care services are one of the most challenging aspect that is must require to the people with abnormal health. Advancements in the technologies lead to build the smart homes, which contains various sensor or smart meter devices to automate the process of other electronic device. Additionally these smart meters can be able to capture the daily activities of the patients and also monitor the health conditions of the patients by mining the frequent patterns and
association rules generated from the smart meters. In this work we proposed a model that is able to monitor the activities of the patients in home and can send the daily activities to the corresponding doctor. We can extract the frequent patterns and association rules from the log data and can predict the health conditions of the patients and can give the suggestions according to the prediction. Our work is divided in to three stages. Firstly, we used to record the daily activities of the patient using a specific time period at three regular intervals. Secondly we applied the frequent pattern growth for extracting the association rules from the log file. Finally, we applied k means clustering for the input and applied Bayesian network model to predict the health behavior of the patient and precautions will be given accordingly.

Microstrip patch antennas are recently used in wireless detection applications due to their low power consumption, low cost, versatility, field excitation, ease of fabrication etc. The microstrip patch antennas are also called as printed antennas which is suffer with an array elements of antenna and narrow bandwidth. To overcome the above drawbacks, Flame Retardant Material is used as the substrate. Rectangular shape of microstrip patch antenna with FR4 material as the substrate which is more suitable for the explosive detection applications. The proposed printed antenna was designed with the dimension of 60 x 60 mm2. FR-4 material has a dielectric constant value of 4.3 with thickness 1.56 mm, length and width 60 mm and 60 mm respectively. One side of the substrate contains the ground plane of dimensions 60 x60 mm2 made of copper and the other side of the substrate contains the patch which have dimensions 34 x 29 mm2 and thickness 0.03mm which is also made of copper. RMPA without slot, Vertical slot RMPA, Double horizontal slot RMPA and Centre slot RMPA structures were
designed and the performance of the antennas were analysed with various parameters such as gain, directivity, Efield, VSWR and return loss. From the performance analysis, double horizontal slot RMPA antenna provides a better result and it provides maximum gain (8.61dB) and minimum return loss (-33.918dB). Based on the E-field excitation value the SEMTEX explosive material is detected and it was simulated using CST software.
Bandwidth Estimation Techniques for Relative ‘Fair’ Sharing in DASHEswar Publications
In the adaptive video streaming (AVS) literature the term fair sharing has been used to describe equal amounts of bandwidth allocated to adaptive client players. However, we argue that even though bandwidth sharing is an important aspect in some problems the same does not apply to AVS. Here the term relative ‘fair’ sharing is more applicable. The reason is that videos have different quality levels and will require differing amounts of the bandwidth to satisfy their needs. A 90% to 10% sharing may be sufficient for two players, one with high demands and the other with low demands. A 50% sharing may lead the player with the high bandwidth demand to get too little of the needed bandwidth resource. In addition, channel conditions may lead to players requiring different amount of bandwidth. Again, the concept of fair sharing has to be extended to relative ‘fair’ sharing for such scenarios. Hence, bandwidth estimation techniques players use to estimate the network bandwidth is very important in segment selection. A player utilizes one of the many techniques to determine what share of the bandwidth it can utilize among competing players. In this paper we explore some of the techniques used in state of-the-art players in their attempt to obtain a ‘fair’ share of the network bandwidth.

Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of our country. Over 58 percent of the rural households
depend on the agriculture sector as their means of livelihood. Agriculture is one of the major contributors to
Gross Domestic Product(GDP). Seeds are the soul of agriculture. This application helps in reducing the time for
the researchers as well as farmers to know the seedling parameters. The application helps the farmers to know
about the percentage of seedlings that will grow and it is very essential in estimating the yield of that particular
crop. Manual calculation may lead to some error, to minimize that error, the developed app is used. The scientist
and farmers require the app to know about the physiological seed quality parameters and to take decisions
regarding their farming activities. In this article a desktop app for seed germination percentage and vigour index
calculation are developed in PHP scripting language.

I. INTRODUCTION
In India, Agriculture is the means of livelihood for most
of the people. The Information and Communication
Technology in the field of agriculture helps in the
development of the agricultural sector. Timely relevant
information and services to farmers can be done efficiently
with the advancement of the Information Technology in
the field of agriculture. The development of applications in
agriculture helps in enriching the knowledge of
farmers[1].
A desktop application is one that runs on the user’s
laptop or desktop computer. It is offline and does not
require internet connection to work in it. The main
benefits of this type of application are high efficiency and
user interface flexibility.
PHP (HyperText Preprocessor) is an open source
general purpose scripting language. It runs on various
platforms(Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, etc.,). The
language is also compatible with almost all servers that are
used today(Apache, IIS, etc.,). It can support a wide range
of databases.
Seed Germination Percentage and Seed Vigour Index are
considered as the seedling parameters. The germination
percentage calculation is very essential for farmers to
verify whether the seed is suitable for planting or not. Seed
Vigour Index is calculated by considering seed
germination percentage, root length and shoot length of
the particular crop. The vigour index is considered as the
sensitive parameter than the germination percentage. It
also helps in the selection of high quality seedlots.
II. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In order to minimize the difficulties for the beginners,
conventional spreadsheets are used for the calculation of
seed germination (emergence) measurements, the
organization of the final data for statistical analysis and
some excel commands are also used[2]. Rice is the staple
food of southern India. The area of rice grown globally is
161 million hectare, and the average production is about
678.7million tonnes. The seeds of three rice varieties
(Narendra, Sabarmati and Hybrid 312) were collected and
kept under four water stress and six salt stress levels. Seed
germination, seedling length, dry weight, seed vigor and
other parameters were recorded. Narendraand Sabarmati
varieties showed better response while Hybrid 312 failed
to germinate in all water stress levels. The results of this
experiment is helpful in identification of the tolerant
varieties which can be used for further studies[3]. Review
about measurements of the germination process, with an
analysis of the several mathematical expressions included
in the specific literature, recovering the history, sense, and
limitations of some germination measurements. The limits
of the germination measurements were considered to make
the interpretation and decisions easier. Time, rate,
homogeneity, and synchrony are aspects that can be
measured, informing the dynamics of the germination
process[4]. The germination characteristics of a seedlot are
determined by knowing the species, age of the seeds as
well as germination conditions, and the seed pretreatment.

A technique for measuring the speed germination of seeds
independent of the completion of the germination[5]. Data
analysis method followed in the seed germination and
emergence tests are discussed. The review shows that the
different interpretation can be drawn by using different
formulae. Not only the germination percentage but also the
speed the germination, high and low germination events
have an impact of the parameters calculated. The
Germination Index (GI) is the analysis method that
describes the germination percentage/speed
relationship[6]. These are the developments and researches
that are undergone in the seed germination percentage and
seed vigour index. In this paper an application is
developed for the calculation of germination percentage
and seed vigour index which helps the farmers in
estimation of the yield of a crop.
III. APPLICATION FOR SEED GERMINATION
PERCENTAGE AND SEED VIGOUR INDEX
Germination percentage is the major influencing factor in
seed germination process. Linear correlation in
experimental design models applied to seed science and
Technology especially while developing model for seed
germination, are the existing methods [7][8].
PHP server side scripting language used for
creating the app. It runs on a server, embedded in a sites
code. Designed to interact with the back end database. It is
very efficient in the easy transfer of data from server to
browser. It builds Application Programming
Interfaces(APIs),which control the data and software a site
shares with other apps[9].
Xampp server is an integration package for the
development components, the web developers require
regardless of the platform they work in. The X in Xampp
stands for “Operating systems”, the remaining acronyms
stand for Apache, Mysql, PHP, Perl. It also integrates
many other open source software packages.
3.1 Input
For germination percentage the parameters required are
the number of seedlings germinated and the total number
of seedlings. In seed vigour index the essential parameters
are germination percentage, root length and shoot length.
3.2 Process
The user need to enter the number of seedlings in the
specified box and when he/she enter the submit it redirects
to another page where the result is generated. For seed
vigour index the user is directed to enter the germination
percentage value along with root length and shoot length.
When the submit button is pressed the result page will
appear which shows the seed vigour index.
3.3 Output
The result will be displayed in a separate page showing the
germination percentage and seed vigour
index[10][11][12].The algorithm for the development of
Physiological Seed quality Parameters is discussed below.
3.4 Algorithm
3.4.1.Seed germination percentage
Step1: Get the number of seedlings germinated from the
user
Step2: Click the submit button, the calculation is
performed
Step3:Seed germination percentage=No. of seedlings
germinated/Total No. of seeds*100
Step4: Calculation is performed and output is displayed.
3.4.2. Seed vigour Index
Step1: Get the Germination percentage as the user input
Step2: Get the root length and shoot length as user input
Step3:After clicking the submit button, calculation is
performed.
Step4:Vigour index= Germination percentage*(root
length+shoot length)
Step5: The output is displayed for vigour index
IV. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
The desktop application is created with the help of Xampp
server and the resulting outputs are given below. In the
Fig.1, introduction about the seed germination percentage
is presented. In Fig. 2 shows the user Input page, the user
needs to enter the Number of seedlings emerged for a
particular crop. In Fig. 3 shows the output page, the
germination percentage is displayed.

V.CONCLUSION
Agriculture is the backbone of our nation. To incorporate
ICT in agriculture the Physiological Seed quality
Parameters app is developed. The desktop application
created for seed parameters calculation is useful for the
scientist, agricultural students and farmers. The developed
application will help the farmers to know all seed
parameters. In future developed app may be integrated
with mobile platform and to get the app in the regional
language.
