The protection of multimedia data is becoming very
important. The protection of this multimedia data can be done
with encryption or data hiding algorithms. To decrease
transmissions time the data transmission necessary.
Recently, more and more attention is paid to reversible data
hiding (RDH) in encrypted image. It maintains original area
could be perfectly restored after extraction of the hidden
message. In previous method embed data by reversibly vacating
area from the encrypted images, which may be subject to some
errors on data extraction and/or image restoration. A novel
method by reserving area before encryption with a traditional
RDH algorithm, and thus it is easy for the data hider to
reversibly embed data in the encrypted image. The proposed
method can achieve real reversibility, that is data extraction and
image recovery are free of any error. The hidden data can be
retrieved as and when required. The methods that are used in
reversible data hiding techniques like Lossless embedding and
encryption.
This deals with the image steganography as well as with the
different security issues, general overview of cryptography
approaches and about the different steganography
algorithms like Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm ,
JSteg, F5 algorithms. It also compares those algorithms in
means of speed, accuracy and security.
This paper presents the details on the
experimental investigation carried out to get the desired fresh
properties of the SCC. Tests were performed on various mixtures
to obtain the required SCC. In the present research work we
have replaced 15% of cement with class F fly ash. By varying the
quantity of water and sand the mortar mix was prepared. Later
varying percentage of coarse aggregate was added to the mortar
to obtain the desired SCC.
Batch adsorption experiments were carried out for
the adsorption of cationic dye from aqueous solution onto
composite activated carbon. The composite activated carbon was
prepared from brewer’s spent grain and sea bean shell at a ratio
of 1:1. The equilibrium studies were done at different
concentrations and temperatures. The equilibrium data were
fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and
Temkin isotherm models. The results showed that both Lagmuir
and Freundlich isotherm model fitted the data reasonably well
but Freundlich isotherm fitted better in the temperature range
studied. This confirmed that the adsorption is heterogeneous,
non-specific and non-uniform in nature. Kinetic studies were also
undertaken in terms of first order, second order, pseudo first
order, pseudo second order, Elovich, Boyd, and intra-particle
diffusion models. The results indicated that the data followed
pseudo second order model with surface adsorption and intraparticle
diffusion concurrently operating during the adsorbateadsorbent
interaction. The values of the thermodynamic
parameters computed from Van’t Hoff plot confirmed the
process to be endothermic and spontaneous in nature.

Data mining , knowledge discovery is the process
of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it
into useful information - information that can be used to increase
revenue, cuts costs, or both. Data mining software is one of a
number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users to
analyze data from many different dimensions or angles, categorize
it, and summarize the relationships identified. Technically, data
mining is the process of finding correlations or patterns among
dozens of fields in large relational databases. The goal of
clustering is to determine the intrinsic grouping in a set of
unlabeled data. But how to decide what constitutes a good
clustering? It can be shown that there is no absolute “best”
criterion which would be independent of the final aim of the
clustering. Consequently, it is the user which must supply this
criterion, in such a way that the result of the clustering will suit
their needs.
For instance, we could be interested in finding
representatives for homogeneous groups (data reduction), in
finding “natural clusters” and describe their unknown properties
(“natural” data types), in finding useful and suitable groupings
(“useful” data classes) or in finding unusual data objects (outlier
detection).Of late, clustering techniques have been applied in the
areas which involve browsing the gathered data or in categorizing
the outcome provided by the search engines for the reply to the
query raised by the users. In this paper, we are providing a
comprehensive survey over the document clustering.
Removal of noise is a determining track in
the image rebuilding process, but denoising of image remains a
claiming problem in upcoming analysis accomplice along
image processing. Denoising is utilized to expel the noise from
corrupted image, where as we need to maintain the edges and
other detailed characteristics almost accessible. This noise gets
imported during accretion, transmitting & receiving and
storage & retrieval techniques. In this paper, to discover out
denoised image the modified denoising technique and the local
adaptive wavelet image denoising technique can be obtained.
The input (noisy image) is denoised with the help of modified
denoising technique which is form on wavelet domain as well as
spatial domain along with the local adaptive wavelet image
denoising technique which is form on wavelet domain. In this
paper, I have appraised and analyzed achievements of
modified denoising technique and the local adaptive wavelet
image denoising technique. The above procedures are
contemplated with other based on PSNR between input image
and noisy image and SNR between input image and denoised
image. Simulation and experimental outgrowth for an image
reflects as the mean square error of the local adaptive wavelet
image denoising procedure is less efficient as compare to
modified denoising procedure including the signal to noise
ratio of the local adaptive wavelet image denoising technique is
effective than other approach. Therefore, the image after
denoising has a superior visual effect. In this paper, these two
techniques are materialized with the help of MATLAB for
denoising of image
The purpose of paper is to recommend strategies to
increase customer loyalty through complaint management and as
a tool to manage risk. The paper encompasses the theoretical
concepts which emerge from the extensive review of literature on
complaints and risk. It was found that complaints and risk have a
significant relation and through complaint management, risk can
be reduced. The study has proposed COMPSAT Grid (reinforced
with literature review) demonstrating the state of Banks based on
no. of complaints and loyalty of customers. COMPSAT Grid can
become a base to design the strategies to increase customer’s
loyalty. The study is limited to the customer’s perceived risk. The
paper stresses on the importance of complaints in managing the
risk. Through COMPSAT grid the service providers may
modulate existing strategies to increase customer loyalty. The
concepts will establish complaint management as a basis of
marketing strategy modulation. The model is a theoretical
approach which is based on the concepts

The Impact of BRC Food 7: Most Common Non-ConformitiesTraceGains
The 7th issue of the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety began audits July 1, 2015, and we now have almost 2 months’ worth of results. The information coming back paints a picture of readiness of sites for the changes, and a picture of what they have had to prepare for successful continuation of certification is forming.
The session will cover the most significant changes the 7th issue brought forward, why they were included, what BRC expected, and what impact the changes are actually having on the industry.
Specifically, the session will focus on:
-The top non-conformities seen in issue 7 audits
-Strategies for your operation to learn from these early audits
-What changes have been made, and why they make the BRC Global Standards the leading certification for food safety.
BRC is the leading and most recognized of the GFSI benchmarked programs, and is used at manufacturing sites, and by customers as a leading certification around the world. John Kukoly, our presenter, is the head of BRC activities in the Americas.
Purchasers, specifiers and manufacturers are now faced with the challenge of identifying which product labels to trust. The good news is that robust guidance on what makes a credible ecolabel already exists – it just needs to be used. In addition, the recent proposed changes to the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims provide further screens to help sort through the crowd.
This presentation will highlight key elements from the most widely cited “standards for standards,” explore how Green Seal conducts standard-setting and certification, and share a practitioner perspective on what the revised FTC Guides may mean for the use of environmental labels and logos.
This is all about social audit checklist and requirements which are necessary to meet the global standard practices in industries. In this document section wise list is provided which indicate its compliance and not compliance status readily adopted by the industries across the globe. The remarks of the auditors are also given at the end in this document.

Product certification or product qualification is the process of certifying that a certain
product has passed performance tests and quality assurance tests, and meets
qualification criteria stipulated in contracts, regulations, or specifications (sometimes
called "certification schemes" in the product certification industry).
Most product certification bodies (or product certifiers) are accredited to or aligned with
ISO/IEC 17065 Conformity assessment -- Requirements for bodies certifying products,
processes and services (previously ISO/IEC Guide 65:1996) an international standard
for ensuring competence in those organizations performing product, process and service
certifications. The organizations that perform this accreditation are called Accreditation
Bodies, and they themselves are assessed by international peers against the ISO 17011
standard. In India Product certification is being monitored by BUREAU OF INDIAN
STANDARDS.
Examples of some certification schemes include the Safety Equipment Institute for
protective headgear, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) program for radio communication devices,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star program, the International
Commission on the Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment Product Safety
Certification Body Scheme (IEECE CB Scheme), MAS (Materials Analytical Services)
Certified Green IEQ program, and the Greenguard Environmental Institute Indoor Air
Quality program. Certification schemes are typically written to include both the
performance test methods that the product must be tested to, as well as the criteria that
the product must meet to become Certified.

Certification Process
3. Parallel Production
Where production of certified produce of different organic status and/or non organic
status, this is classed as parallel production. Not all standards allow parallel production
of organic and non organic, and in any case where parallel production exists
procedures must be provided to demonstrate that:
i.All organic production is clearly identified and separated from nonorganic production;
and
ii.All shared equipment and machinery is cleaned prior to use in the organic area; and
iii.A conversion plan is in place for all non organic areas; and
iv.Staff are aware of the importance of maintaining the integrity of certified organic
production and receive training and regular updates on this.
18. 18
Certification Process
4. Contractors
A licensee may subcontract some aspects of their organic production to
another operator who offers a certain service where that contractor is not
certified in their own right, examples include:
•Picking, Pruning, mowing, fertiliser spreading, transport
Where a contractor is used the licensee must have an agreement outlining how
the orgnaic integrity of the product will be maintained including:
•Machinery and equipment cleandowns, segregation during transport etc
Where a sub contractor adds value to your final product, for example making
wine from certified grapes, and are not certified this is considered as a
sublicensee.
21. 21
Certification Process
7. Audits
Initial audit and renewal audits :
Record keeping – All records relating to production, inputs and sales may be
requested and must be available during the audit
Documents for verification of compliance must be kept for a minimum of 5
years including, but not limited to:
Site map, inputs used including invoices, production records, reconciliation data
Additional audits – Surveillance, Sublicensee, Random, Unannounced

2. Internationally Accredited vs Domestic
Internationally accredited
Producers on BioGro’s internationally accredited programme can export
their product as organic, sell their products to organic processors and be
considered for regulated market compliance
Domestic
Producers on BioGro’s Domestic programme can sell their produce locally
and claim organic status on a simple processed product made from produce
off their own property containing no more than 1 added ingredient or
processing aid, for example Apples into apple juice using ascorbic acid.
36. 36
Market Access
4. How to chose what market is required
Market access relies on the chain of custody, for an end product to be certified it
must meet the market requirements every step of the way.
To ensure your product is certified to the correct markets check with your
exporter, importer or purchaser of the product to determine where it will be
going.
