Combating Climate Change and Land Degradation in
The West African Sahel: A Multi-Country Study of
Mali, Niger and Senegal
S A Igbatayo1

Abstract: The West African Sahel is a vast ecological zone separating the Sahara Desert to the north and Sudanian savannah to the
south; traversing Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, northern Nigeria and Chad. With a population estimated at more than 60 million
people, the region features a multiplicity of development challenges. It is home to some of the world’s most impoverished people, whose
livelihoods are mostly reliant on rain-fed agriculture. Characterized by semi-arid vegetation, the West African Sahel is one of the most
environmentally degraded ecosystems in the world. The region faces severe and recurring bouts of droughts since the 1980s, jeopardizing
environmental sustainability. During the past four decades, the West African Sahel has witnessed below-average annual precipitation, with
two severe drought periods in 1972-1973 and 1983–1984, in a development that undermined agricultural productivity and spawned
severe land degradation. Various studies have predicted even more severe climate variability and change in the region, with drier and more
frequent dry periods expected. The intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC, 2007) revealed a decline in annual rainfall in West
Africa since the end of the 1960s, with a reduction of 20% to 40% observed in the periods 1931-1960 and 1968–1990. Repeated
droughts, fuelled by climate change, have undermined land productivity, turning arable soils into marginal lands, and rendering land
resources vulnerable to such anthropogenic activities as over-grazing, agricultural intensification and deforestation, which are common
practices across the region. The major objective of this paper is to shed light on climate change and land degradation patterns in the West
African Sahel. It employs empirical data to analyse the trends, with particular emphasis on Mali, Niger and Senegal. The study reveals
considerable threats posed by the twin scourges of climate change and land degradation to food security, environmental sustainability and
regional stability.

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate Media Architecture and its potentials for culturally based revitalization. Media Architecture
presents a new approach based on Augmentation concepts, in which projects are designed and implemented adopting contemporary mediums
in an aesthetic way in order to attract the presence of a more cultural audience and increase the participation of the local residents.
Ultimately this will lead to an increase of interaction between different classes in neglected areas and strengthen their connection to their
built environment. This is an interdisciplinary approach in which architecture and contemporary mediums are combined aesthetically with
the aim of creating revival solutions in neglected areas.

Awwal-Awwal Tampat Budjang Journey Back to
Pre-Islamic Epoch: A Cultural Semiotic
Helen G Juaini1
Abstract: Cultural background plays a significant role in the sphere of semiotics. Semiotics as a discipline is recognized as a useful tool in
gauging cultural background and identifying signs that might represent the message of a certain work. Given the rich cultural context of
Tawi-Tawi oral literature this can be used in studying semiotics. Semiotic tools were employed to interpret the awwal-awwal as provided by
the respondents and to formulate a subsequent understanding of this oral literature in relation to the Sama’s claim of sacredness of Tampat
Budjang.
Politeness and Intimacy in Application Letters of
Three Cultural Groups in Mindanao
Helen G Juaini1
Abstract: 150 application letters from the three cultural groups in Mindano, namely Sinama, Subanen, and Tausug have been analysed
in a mixed-method design. The focus of the study is on the two features of politeness and intimacy. In the quantitative analysis, the model
proposed by Brown & Levinson (1987) and that of Columns (2005) which have drawn upon the features of indirectness in requesting and
the length of letters as the indicators of politeness are used. In the qualitative and descriptive analysis formality in salutation and opening
clause as well as the use of abbreviated forms are taken into account. The result shows that Tausug use the politest style in their application
letters, followed by Sinama and Subanen respectively. On the other hand, Sinama, Subanen, and Tausug use the least intimate style in their
business letters. The findings are hoped to help better inter-cultural understanding, especially with respect to written rhetorical
characteristics.

RRI Buffer Based Energy and Computation Efficient
Cache Replacement Algorithm

1Computer Science Department, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Islamabad
Abstract: Energy consumption is an important factor of com-mutational power these days. Large scale energy consumption results in bad
system performance and high cost. To access frequently used data, we place it in Cache. Cache provides us opportunity to access that data in
a small time. Cache memory helps in retrieving data in minimum time improving the system performance and reducing power consumption.
Due to limited size of Cache, replacement algorithms used to make space for new data. There are many existing cache replacement
algorithms for example LRU, LFU, MRU, FIFO etc. Existing algorithms consume a lot of energy while replacing cold blocks of data.
Replacement algorithms are usually designed to reduce miss rate and increase hit rate. These algorithms replace cold blocks (not going to use
in future) and due to large number of cold blocks, they consume lot of energy. This paper proposes an energy and computation efficient cache
replacement algorithm that put only hot blocks in action instead of removing cold blocks. This paper also discusses different replacement
algorithms proposed in different papers and compare these algorithms on basis of different parameters mainly energy consumption. In our
experiments we have found LRU and FIFO as best replacement algorithms for Increased hit rates and Energy efficiency respectively.

Abstract: Recently, air quality in residential spaces has been major concern. In particular, the indoor air quality of residential facility
before occupancy, which is related to the interior material, is a serious problem. existing research has mainly focused on pollution control
after construction, but this research has derived I key performance index I about increasing air quality and priority of management with a
controlling schedule. That is the objectives of research. The results show the relative priority of the four major items in wall‐based apartment
buildings and in column‐based apartment buildings. An analysis of the parties responsible for improvement based on the IAQ results shows
more efforts to improve IAQ are needed in material factories and engineering/design companies.

Abstract: Recently, IoT devices such as robots, speakers, domestic electrical appliances and smart devices are provided everywhere for
everyone. While their authentication request is quite ubiquitously, namely, an authentication for sharing services, the actual
implementations are patchy schemes of variety security policies. In this study, we propose the new authentication scheme for IoT devices
without certificate authority which is fast enough as well as secure. The verification algorithm is based on suitable ciphered metric. We
define a class of such verifiable encryption and give an example for authentication. Moreover, we show the implementation which keeps
perfect secrecy by means of Shannon’s theory.
Developing a Strategic Organisational Learning
Framework to Improve Caribbean Disaster
Management Performance
Joanne Persad1
Abstract: Disasters are social constructs and require an agility and adaptability from national disaster organisations (NDOs). The
environment in which NDOs operate are complex adaptive systems environment, and organisational learning as a key approach is considered
fundamental to strengthening the ability of an NDO to perform at its best. With the potential for loss of lives, the destruction of critical
infrastructure and housing and to the risk of setting back a country’s economic development by many years, learning from the lessons of the
past, to reduce the negative impacts is critical for the onward growth of Caribbean countries which, for the most part, are small island
developing states. The Caribbean Region is the one of the most hazard prone regions in the world (Walbrent College 2012). Lessons from
disaster impacts are identified, gaps are well documented, and failures are sometimes exposed. But learning, in terms of making changes to
improve systems, performance and resilience, is questionable. The lessons must be applied for change to occur, this is part of the knowledge
management process in the context of disaster organisations. The purpose of this study is to explore the apparent inability of national
disaster organizations in the Caribbean to apply the lessons learnt from previous disasters. Three (3) Caribbean countries have been selected
for this research. It is a multiple case study where the unit of analysis is the national disaster organisation. This study is based on an
interpretive paradigm.

Abstract: Entrepreneurial success depends on various factors associated with the business, the entrepreneurs’ wishes to start. Entrepreneurs
need some sort of inspirations to succeed in their business ventures. Being a versatile industry, textile attracts many entrepreneurs both urban
and rural peoples and requires minimal investment to start. Textile entrepreneurs have to face several challenges and prospects associated
with their business. This study has been commenced with the objectives to check demographic profile, factors affecting textile entrepreneurs,
encouragement of external factors and personal reason behind to become textile business entrepreneurs. This study has been carried out with
100 textile entrepreneurs; the sample has been selected by using simple random sampling. This study is also carried out with non-disguised
and structured questionnaire; which consists of four parts with seeking information on demographic profile, factors affecting textile
entrepreneurs, external encouraging factors and personal reason to become textile entrepreneurs. This study uses percentage analysis, factor
analysis, Garrett score ranking, and t-test to analyse the data collected. It was concluded that textile entrepreneurs have been encouraged by
various factors and moreover several factors significantly affect their business.
Factors Affecting Consumer Purchase Behaviour
towards Online Clothing Products in Bangladesh
T Islam1

Abstract: The online clothing businesses have seen a considerable rise in recent times, with a high and growing demand. The purpose of
this study is to determine the factors that play significant roles in creating purchase intention towards the online clothing products in
Bangladesh. Secondary research was used to build the model of customer purchase intention. A structured questionnaire was employed to
gather data and test the model. Factor analysis and regression were used to test the model. The regression model suggested that customer
purchase intention was induced most by the online marketing activities of the online retailers, followed by pricing strategy implemented and
sense of security provided (in that order). To understand customer purchase intentions better, it may be important to look at additional
factors or seek better measures of the constructs. The study suggests that online retailers should heavily focus on online promotions and
pricing.
Exploring the Experiences of Gender-Based Violence
and The Associated Psychosocial and Mental Health
Issues of Filipino HIV-Positives: Implications for
Psychological Practice
Evangeline R Castronuevo-Ruga1, Normita A Atrillano2
Abstract: The phenomenon of gender-based violence has generated attention from research practitioners and helping professionals since
the surge of the women’s movement three or so decades ago in the Philippines. At about the same time, the HIV-AIDS gained similar
attention with the disclosure of the first ever case of the country in the mid-80s. Only recently, however, has the intersectionality of these
two phenomena been looked into by the research community in other countries and has yet to see parallel response locally. This research,
therefore, attempts to map out the lived experiences of People Living with Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (PLHIV) who have undergone
gender-based violence (GBV). It specially looks into the consequent psychosocial and mental health issues. Using focus group discussion with
24 purposively sampled participants from the highly vulnerable groups based in three major Philippine cities, thematic analysis reveals that
the participants experienced various forms of gender-based violence, e.g., sexual, emotional/psychological, economic, verbal, physical) and
expressions of stigma and discrimination, which in turn, led to manifestations of different emotional and psychological trauma, depression,
internalized homophobia, greater health risks and risk-taking behaviours, among others. It might be worthwhile to consider the possibility
that the consequent risk-taking and self-injurious tendencies played a role in their eventual contraction of HIV.

Abstract: Drought is a phenomenon of extreme water shortage that has significant economic, social, environmental and human life
impact. Streamflow drought characteristics and properties are useful in the design of hydro-technical projects, water resources planning and
management purposes. Information on low flow magnitude, frequency, probability and return period are very crucial in analysing
streamflow drought at the operational level in public water supply. The objectives of this study are to determine the characteristics of low
flow for every streamflow station in the Selangor region. The estimation of minimum storage draft-rate with the probability of low flow
return periods of 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 years is presented in this paper.

Abstract: Unlike other industries, the construction industry is characterized by its heavy dependence on labour force with most work done
by workers. Still, the industry is witnessing the declining influx of young workers and the rising turnover rates of skilled workers due to such
issues as the advancement of 3D industry, negative image and absence of an established wage system. Hence, this paper proposes an
alternative scheme that would help improve the wage system and work environment for skilled construction workers in Korea.
Mastering the Recycling of Masonry while building
Tadao Ando’s Private Gallery in Lincoln Park,
Chicago
Daniel Joseph Whittaker1
Abstract: The notion of a great presence of masonry rarely conjures up the likes of buildings by master architect, Tadao Ando san of
Osaka, Japan, who is better known for his sublime shaping of space with planar forms of site-cast concrete. Perhaps though, one may recall
the ‘historical intervention’ on a grand scale—the now nine-year-old Punta Della Dogan a project (2009) in Venice, Italy, as prima facie
evidence of his dialogue with a vast quantity of ancient masonry in the Laguna. However, a new project by Ando, recently opened in
Chicago, Illinois (October 2018), presents the private-museum-gallery-going public with a new North American delight. Here, the senses
are able to indulge in a hybrid set of experiences shaped by masonry, concrete, and white painted plaster surfaces. This paper explores how
the modern concrete master has expanded his dynamic architectural vocabulary utilizing what is known as Chicago common brick: a soft,
Lake Michigan-sand and clay based fired brick, and incorporated it into his most recent private commission located in Lincoln Park,
Chicago.

RRI Buffer Based Energy and Computation Efficient
Cache Replacement Algorithm
Muhammad Shahid1
1Computer Science Department, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Islamabad
Abstract: Energy consumption is an important factor of com-mutational power these days. Large scale energy consumption results in bad
system performance and high cost. To access frequently used data, we place it in Cache. Cache provides us opportunity to access that data in
a small time. Cache memory helps in retrieving data in minimum time improving the system performance and reducing power consumption.
Due to limited size of Cache, replacement algorithms used to make space for new data. There are many existing cache replacement
algorithms for example LRU, LFU, MRU, FIFO etc. Existing algorithms consume a lot of energy while replacing cold blocks of data.
Replacement algorithms are usually designed to reduce miss rate and increase hit rate. These algorithms replace cold blocks (not going to use
in future) and due to large number of cold blocks, they consume lot of energy. This paper proposes an energy and computation efficient cache
replacement algorithm that put only hot blocks in action instead of removing cold blocks. This paper also discusses different replacement
algorithms proposed in different papers and compare these algorithms on basis of different parameters mainly energy consumption. In our
experiments we have found LRU and FIFO as best replacement algorithms for Increased hit rates and Energy efficiency respectively.

New Authentication Algorithm for IoT Environment
based on Non-Commutative Algebra and Its
Implementation
Maki Kihara1, Satoshi Iriyama2
1,2Tokyo University of Science
Abstract: Recently, IoT devices such as robots, speakers, domestic electrical appliances and smart devices are provided everywhere for
everyone. While their authentication request is quite ubiquitously, namely, an authentication for sharing services, the actual
implementations are patchy schemes of variety security policies. In this study, we propose the new authentication scheme for IoT devices
without certificate authority which is fast enough as well as secure. The verification algorithm is based on suitable ciphered metric. We
define a class of such verifiable encryption and give an example for authentication. Moreover, we show the implementation which keeps
perfect secrecy by means of Shannon’s theory.
Developing a Strategic Organisational Learning
Framework to Improve Caribbean Disaster
Management Performance
Joanne Persad1
Abstract: Disasters are social constructs and require an agility and adaptability from national disaster organisations (NDOs). The
environment in which NDOs operate are complex adaptive systems environment, and organisational learning as a key approach is considered
fundamental to strengthening the ability of an NDO to perform at its best. With the potential for loss of lives, the destruction of critical
infrastructure and housing and to the risk of setting back a country’s economic development by many years, learning from the lessons of the
past, to reduce the negative impacts is critical for the onward growth of Caribbean countries which, for the most part, are small island
developing states. The Caribbean Region is the one of the most hazard prone regions in the world (Walbrent College 2012). Lessons from
disaster impacts are identified, gaps are well documented, and failures are sometimes exposed. But learning, in terms of making changes to
improve systems, performance and resilience, is questionable. The lessons must be applied for change to occur, this is part of the knowledge
management process in the context of disaster organisations. The purpose of this study is to explore the apparent inability of national
disaster organizations in the Caribbean to apply the lessons learnt from previous disasters. Three (3) Caribbean countries have been selected
for this research. It is a multiple case study where the unit of analysis is the national disaster organisation. This study is based on an
interpretive paradigm.
Combating Climate Change and Land Degradation in
The West African Sahel: A Multi-Country Study of
Mali, Niger and Senegal
S A Igbatayo1
1Head, Department of Economics & Management Studies, AFE Babalola University, Nigeria
Abstract: The West African Sahel is a vast ecological zone separating the Sahara Desert to the north and Sudanian savannah to the
south; traversing Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, northern Nigeria and Chad. With a population estimated at more than 60 million
people, the region features a multiplicity of development challenges. It is home to some of the world’s most impoverished people, whose
livelihoods are mostly reliant on rain-fed agriculture. Characterized by semi-arid vegetation, the West African Sahel is one of the most
environmentally degraded ecosystems in the world. The region faces severe and recurring bouts of droughts since the 1980s, jeopardizing
environmental sustainability. During the past four decades, the West African Sahel has witnessed below-average annual precipitation, with
two severe drought periods in 1972-1973 and 1983–1984, in a development that undermined agricultural productivity and spawned
severe land degradation. Various studies have predicted even more severe climate variability and change in the region, with drier and more
frequent dry periods expected. The intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC, 2007) revealed a decline in annual rainfall in West
Africa since the end of the 1960s, with a reduction of 20% to 40% observed in the periods 1931-1960 and 1968–1990. Repeated
droughts, fuelled by climate change, have undermined land productivity, turning arable soils into marginal lands, and rendering land
resources vulnerable to such anthropogenic activities as over-grazing, agricultural intensification and deforestation, which are common
practices across the region. The major objective of this paper is to shed light on climate change and land degradation patterns in the West
African Sahel. It employs empirical data to analyse the trends, with particular emphasis on Mali, Niger and Senegal. The study reveals
considerable threats posed by the twin scourges of climate change and land degradation to food security, environmental sustainability and
regional stability. It also presents a policy framework underpinned by climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, formalizing land
rights for farmers, subsidizing farm inputs, creating grazing reserves for pastoralists and deepening poverty reduction strategies.

P Anbuoli1
1Assistant Professor, Department of Business Administration, Mannar Thirumalai Naicker College, India
Abstract: Entrepreneurial success depends on various factors associated with the business, the entrepreneurs’ wishes to start. Entrepreneurs
need some sort of inspirations to succeed in their business ventures. Being a versatile industry, textile attracts many entrepreneurs both urban
and rural peoples and requires minimal investment to start. Textile entrepreneurs have to face several challenges and prospects associated
with their business. This study has been commenced with the objectives to check demographic profile, factors affecting textile entrepreneurs,
encouragement of external factors and personal reason behind to become textile business entrepreneurs. This study has been carried out with
100 textile entrepreneurs; the sample has been selected by using simple random sampling. This study is also carried out with non-disguised
and structured questionnaire; which consists of four parts with seeking information on demographic profile, factors affecting textile
entrepreneurs, external encouraging factors and personal reason to become textile entrepreneurs. This study uses percentage analysis, factor
analysis, Garrett score ranking, and t-test to analyse the data collected. It was concluded that textile entrepreneurs have been encouraged by
various factors and moreover several factors significantly affect their business.
Factors Affecting Consumer Purchase Behaviour
towards Online Clothing Products in Bangladesh
T Islam1
1BRAC Business School, BRAC University, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Abstract: The online clothing businesses have seen a considerable rise in recent times, with a high and growing demand. The purpose of
this study is to determine the factors that play significant roles in creating purchase intention towards the online clothing products in
Bangladesh. Secondary research was used to build the model of customer purchase intention. A structured questionnaire was employed to
gather data and test the model. Factor analysis and regression were used to test the model. The regression model suggested that customer
purchase intention was induced most by the online marketing activities of the online retailers, followed by pricing strategy implemented and
sense of security provided (in that order). To understand customer purchase intentions better, it may be important to look at additional
factors or seek better measures of the constructs. The study suggests that online retailers should heavily focus on online promotions and
pricing.
Exploring the Experiences of Gender-Based Violence
and The Associated Psychosocial and Mental Health
Issues of Filipino HIV-Positives: Implications for
Psychological Practice
Evangeline R Castronuevo-Ruga1, Normita A Atrillano2
Abstract: The phenomenon of gender-based violence has generated attention from research practitioners and helping professionals since
the surge of the women’s movement three or so decades ago in the Philippines. At about the same time, the HIV-AIDS gained similar
attention with the disclosure of the first ever case of the country in the mid-80s. Only recently, however, has the intersectionality of these
two phenomena been looked into by the research community in other countries and has yet to see parallel response locally. This research,
therefore, attempts to map out the lived experiences of People Living with Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (PLHIV) who have undergone
gender-based violence (GBV). It specially looks into the consequent psychosocial and mental health issues. Using focus group discussion with
24 purposively sampled participants from the highly vulnerable groups based in three major Philippine cities, thematic analysis reveals that
the participants experienced various forms of gender-based violence, e.g., sexual, emotional/psychological, economic, verbal, physical) and
expressions of stigma and discrimination, which in turn, led to manifestations of different emotional and psychological trauma, depression,
internalized homophobia, greater health risks and risk-taking behaviours, among others. It might be worthwhile to consider the possibility
that the consequent risk-taking and self-injurious tendencies played a role in their eventual contraction of HIV.

Abstract: Drought is a phenomenon of extreme water shortage that has significant economic, social, environmental and human life
impact. Streamflow drought characteristics and properties are useful in the design of hydro-technical projects, water resources planning and
management purposes. Information on low flow magnitude, frequency, probability and return period are very crucial in analysing
streamflow drought at the operational level in public water supply. The objectives of this study are to determine the characteristics of low
flow for every streamflow station in the Selangor region. The estimation of minimum storage draft-rate with the probability of low flow
return periods of 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 years is presented in this paper.

Abstract: Unlike other industries, the construction industry is characterized by its heavy dependence on labour force with most work done
by workers. Still, the industry is witnessing the declining influx of young workers and the rising turnover rates of skilled workers due to such
issues as the advancement of 3D industry, negative image and absence of an established wage system. Hence, this paper proposes an
alternative scheme that would help improve the wage system and work environment for skilled construction workers in Korea.
Mastering the Recycling of Masonry while building
Tadao Ando’s Private Gallery in Lincoln Park,
Chicago
Daniel Joseph Whittaker1
Abstract: The notion of a great presence of masonry rarely conjures up the likes of buildings by master architect, Tadao Ando san of
Osaka, Japan, who is better known for his sublime shaping of space with planar forms of site-cast concrete. Perhaps though, one may recall
the ‘historical intervention’ on a grand scale—the now nine-year-old Punta Della Dogan a project (2009) in Venice, Italy, as prima facie
evidence of his dialogue with a vast quantity of ancient masonry in the Laguna. However, a new project by Ando, recently opened in
Chicago, Illinois (October 2018), presents the private-museum-gallery-going public with a new North American delight. Here, the senses
are able to indulge in a hybrid set of experiences shaped by masonry, concrete, and white painted plaster surfaces. This paper explores how
the modern concrete master has expanded his dynamic architectural vocabulary utilizing what is known as Chicago common brick: a soft,
Lake Michigan-sand and clay based fired brick, and incorporated it into his most recent private commission located in Lincoln Park,
Chicago.

LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) is the software which gives virtual existence of hardware, reduces its cost and hence termed as Virtual Instrumentation. For years, LabVIEW has enabled engineers and scientists to develop sophisticated autonomous systems. At its core, it is widely used for sensor and actuator connectivity and currently offers more than 8000 drivers for measurement devices. Furthermore, with new libraries for autonomy and an entirely new suite of robotics-specific sensor and actuator drivers. The movement of the robot is controlled by using LabVIEW. In the LabVIEW four different keys are assigned for the forward, backward, left and right movement of the robot.
The DC Motor is an attractive piece of equipment in many industrial applications requiring variable speed and load characteristics due to its ease of controllability. DC Motor will be interfaced with LabVIEW using an Arduino Uno board. Arduino Uno board plays the role of low cost data acquisition board. The speed of the DC motor will be set by creating a Graphic User Interface (GUI) in LabVIEW. LabVIEW will in turn pass this speed to the DC motor using a PWM pins on the Arduino Uno board. DC motor will move with the speed set by the user in LabVIEW.

Households of today are becoming smarter and more automated. Home automation delivers convenience and creates more time for people. Domestic robots are entering the homes and people’s daily lives, but it is yet a relatively new and immature market. However, a growth is predicted and the adoption of domestic robots is evolving. Several robotic vacuum cleaners are available on the market but only few ones implement wet cleaning of floors. The purpose of this project is to design and implement a Vacuum Robot Autonomous and Manual via Phone Application. Vacuum Cleaner Robot is designed to make cleaning process become easier rather than by using manual vacuum. The main objective of this project is to design and implement a vacuum robot prototype by using Arduino Mega, Arduino Shield, LDR Sensor, Real Time Clock, Motor Shield L293D, Ultrasonic Sensor, and IR Sensor and to achieve the goal of this project. Vacuum Robot will have several criteria that are user-friendly.
This document describes an advanced wheelchair system that allows disabled users to control a wheelchair through gestures detected by sensors on a glove. The glove uses flex sensors and an accelerometer to detect finger bending and hand movements, translating them into signals that wirelessly control the wheelchair's movement and allow it to display text and synthesized speech of the user's intended commands. The system is designed to help both physically disabled and deaf/dumb users communicate and move independently through automatic wheelchair control based on hand gestures.
Configuring lifa for remote communication using web architectureVatsal N Shah
1. The document discusses using LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino (LIFA) to build a remote temperature monitoring and control system. LIFA allows controlling sensors and acquiring data through an Arduino microcontroller from within LabVIEW.
2. A web service architecture is implemented to enable remote monitoring of temperature data over the internet. LabVIEW publishes web pages that allow viewing temperature readings and controlling the system from a web browser.
3. The system connects temperature sensors to a computer via an Arduino. LIFA provides communication between LabVIEW and the Arduino. LabVIEW programs publish web pages to remotely monitor and control the temperature system from any internet-connected device.
For years, LabVIEW has enabled engineers and scientists to develop sophisticated autonomous systems. At its core, Lab VIEW is widely used for sensor and actuator connectivity and currently offers more than 8000 drivers for measurement devices. Furthermore, with new libraries for autonomy and an entirely new suite of robotics-specific sensor and actuator drivers, LabVIEW provides all of the necessary tools for robotics development. The DC Motor is an attractive piece of equipment in many industrial applications requiring variable speed and load characteristics due to its ease of controllability. Speed of a DC motor varies proportional to the input voltage. With a fixed supply voltage the speed of the motor can be changed. This paper focuses on controlling the speed and direction of a Robot using PWM technique (varying duty cycle of a square wave) and Arduino. The four different keys are assigned for the forward, backward, left and right movement and it is controlled by using LabVIEW interface Arduino (LIFA).
The TRAPATT diode is a microwave semiconductor device that operates as both an amplifier and oscillator below 10 GHz. It consists of an N-type semiconductor with a depletion region width of 2.5-12.5 micrometers and a P+ region of 2.5-7.5 micrometers in diameter. When a high voltage is applied, an avalanche zone propagates through the diode, trapping electrons and holes in the depletion region and allowing the diode to efficiently deliver RF power to an external load. The TRAPATT diode has advantages of high efficiency between 15-40% and low power dissipation, making it suitable for pulsed applications like low power Doppler radars between 3-50 GHz.
This document provides an introduction to telemedicine, including its definition, history, types, applications, benefits, limitations, and future directions.

I am sharing my journey with Indus University and Indus Family.
Admission Process:
I visited only one college “Indus University” after completing my 12th
science in 2012 and had
planned to apply for it even before the mock round. The first day of the college was zealous.
First challenge:
My first challenge began after a month wherein me and my friend participated in “IEEE Project
Exhibition” organized by GCET College, Anand. We were the youngest participants and felt very proud
when we represented Indus University at such a large scale. Numerous opportunities came by in the
first six months. I and my classmate had represented Indus University at National Level even in non-
technical event named “NukkadNatak” on “Pani re pani tera rang kesa”, based on behavior of human
beings and grabbed second place in it.
Robotics Club initiated and failure!
I am very passionate about Robotics and that is why I opted for Electronics and
Communication Branch. After contacting the seniors, I was really disappointed to know that there was
no movement in the Robotics Club for past two years. So, I tried to contact the HOD, Mr. R.N Mutagi.
My friends began to call me by the name “HOD” because of my meetings with the HOD. I finally
managed to restart the Robotics Club in the college and represented Indus University at National
Level. During one such competition at LD Engg., we came across an International Event called
“Robocon”. After looking at their robots, I was surprised and tried to know the pragmatic things about
robot. My dream was to represent Indus University in Robocon in the second year. We further shared
our views with the management and finally got approval in 2013 for Robocon 2014. Me and my friend
from EEE department worked for more than twelve hours a day went home via AMTS at 10:00 P.M
and so much more. Team worked with dedication and things went smoothly but due to some reasons
we couldn’t make up to it. We had a hard time and I felt guilty about it. But it happens, failure and
success, so better to accept it.
Department activity time:
During this time, I got the opportunity to represent Indus University at International Level
wherein I and my four friends were shortlisted to attend the Grand Culmination Convention on 2nd Oct
at Thyagaraj Stadium, New Delhi when Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the Chief Guest.
In the third year, I became the President of Esync Students Associations. New team of Esync
comprised of members focusing on all the types of events. As non-technical activity for the very first
time we organized “Kapyo-che” Uttrayan event in Indus University and Selfie event in the event. I
started the department magazine named “Revista” and successfully published two edition of Revista.
Simultaneously, I started a part time job, as Faculty in two coaching classes for financial help. I took
mainly Math and Science of standard 10th
. In the journey of 2.5 years of teaching, I experienced the
challenges engineering faculty faced each day. Learnt new things about Robotics during the third year
and participated in number of workshops and internships and was member of AIESEC for few months.

Future planning and Robotics Club in 4th
year (Never thought about this one!):
By the end of the third year people started preparing for Gate, GRE, CAT, etc. I was mostly
clear about my aim and so started training for GRE. My family and friends were like, “you are in the 4th
year, so focus on project, studies and GRE. Don’t waste your time in such competition”. But I had faith
in me, I managed to continue working for Robocon. I again started from the process of Proposal,
Department permission, Presentation to management, Team building, Interview, space permission,
sponsorship, mentor, and so on. After crossing all the barriers “Indus Robotics Club” started in Indus
University with mission of Robocon 2016. More than 120 students enrolled in Indus Robotics Club and
organized workshops on Robotics and Technical topics in the campus. I started Robotics magazine
also in the campus and successfully published first edition of Robotics Magazine which was published
by Divyabhaskar. On 2nd
October, first time in India, on my Idea, very innovative event conducted by
students of IRC “Swachhata abhiyan by Robots”. Radio Mirchi, DNA, Divyabhaskar, Entrepreneur
India, TV9 covered this event widely. That was a great start by IRC Students and mission of Robocon
inclined gradually with time.
Initiated IEEE Student Branch in Indus University:
In my fourth year, me and a professor started IEEE Student branch in the college and it was a
huge success. Time came for Robocon 2016. The competition was from 3rd
-5th
March, 2016. When I
saw the name of Indus University on the robots and display cards, I was immensely satisfied as it was
a dream come true for me. We stood amongst the top 40 out of 150 teams across the India. It has
been a memorable journey.
Final year Project:
This was almost the end of my journey, but wait! My final year project was an innovative idea.
There was a big vision, mission and objective behind the project. The project was on “Internet of
Things”. On 3rd
July of 2016, in Gujarat Samachar news was that Netherland is first country in the
world, which was connected with ‘Internet of Things’. You may read more about my project on
ResearchGate and video on YouTube. Divyabhaskar and Radio City noted about my project.
Special Note to my Mentor “Indus”:
Yes, I can say Indus in not only University for me, it is my friend and a mentor who was with
me on every foot step in the campus including my friends, my faculty, librarian, Head of the
Departments, Management team, Mr. Jagat Shah and Mr. Bhandari. I thank you from the bottom of my
heart.
Special note for juniors:
Last note regarding my journey is that we might lose people of college, but don’t fear to lose
friends as the good ones will always be by your side. Focus on your path and be thankful to everyone.
Always work on your goal, meet new people and talk to everyone. Make these four years count. Your
hard work will pay off. Try to seize every opportunity. At the end, one must be satisfied with himself. In
Indus University, as a student I was childish and after four years with my mentor, my friend “Indus”, I
have grown-up each day and ripen.
In the future as an Ex-student of Indus University, I will try my best to give more to Indus
University. It’s not just the end… It’s just the beginning of the Journey! All great achievements require
time.
Thanks for everything. I miss you Indus.

Why SUPRA SAEINDIA?
Team Vayuputras’s motto “To learn & to grow” is the simple answer to this question. After the
commendable performance in SAEIndia BAJA, it was now high time to take a step forward and
explore a new event that shall help in understanding, new principles and concepts of engineering.
SUPRA SAEINDIA 2016 is a student motorsports event organized by SAEIndia at the world
renowned Buddha International Circuit. Students are required to design, simulate, fabricate and then
finally race a formula style vehicle. The design and engineering fundamentals are those followed by the
epitome of motorsports i.e. Formula 1. The 2016 car, is built with lot of conviction, dedication and hard
work. Scientifically designed and manufactured, it was a sincere and concentrated effort and is truly a
Team’s car.
TEAM FORMATION
For the team to benefit and learn, it is important that the team passes on the legacy each year by
involving the junior members. So, the team had sixteen senior members from 2013 Batch, five
members from 2014 Batch and two members from 2015 Batch. Written tests and interviews were
conducted to select the deserving students from a long list of enthusiastic candidates.
Apart from having a sound technical team the importance of having an efficient management team was
also recognized and efforts were made to select people who would specifically be in team for its
management. This team in particular had various functions to perform wiz maintaining relations with
the sponsors, finding new sponsors, fund raising events, maintaining and updating team’s social
networking page etc.
Thus, the final team had twenty three members with two female members proving the team’s hunt for
pure talent and their belief in women empowerment.
TEAM’s APPROACH
The objective was clear from the beginning: ‘To build a simple and reliable car that could clear the
technical inspection as well as the static and dynamic events’. One thing was clearly evident that the
team should have suitable sufficient testing time to iron out any flaws before the event itself.
To gauge the progress of the team as well as decide the course of action, frequent team meetings were
conducted depending on the team’s progress. The teams Captain, Vice-Captain and the Team Manager
were responsible for leading the team, assigning responsibilities and periodically reviewing the
progress. Various sub teams had their individual heads that would take final decisions on behalf of their
team and report directly to the captain.

Hence, an exhaustive yet proven approach was followed and is still in progress to achieve our primary
aim of having an A class team
THE FINAL CAR DESIGN
The competition was scheduled from 4th
July 2016 to 9th
July 2016 at the Buddha International Circuit.
The team departed from Ahmedabad on 2nd
July and reached Delhi. As decided, few team members
went to solve the throttle glitch and the rest handled the accommodation issues.
RESULT:
The team was allowed to participate in every round of the event, and as a result the team ranked 48th
across India with 198 points out of 160 teams participating in the event and 4th
in Gujarat, due to its
very strong performance in presentation and report evaluation.
THE PATH AHEAD
At this level there is no looking back. The team is motivated and wants to achieve big in terms of
performance and skills. The team is determined to participate in Formula Bharat 2017 at the Buddha
International Circuit which is scheduled to be held in the month of January.
Formula Bharat is a similar event with only top 61 teams across India to participate. The VayuPutras
have successfully qualified for the event.
