LabVIEW Based Monitoring the Building in wireless communicationSathish Kumar
The presented wireless system for building monitoring takes advantage of the unique features of
custom-developed MEMS sensors and read-out ASIC combined with an optimized network and module
architecture, to realize a solution which offers long battery lifetime and potentially low cost in
manufacturing, installation and maintenance, while providing high-quality sensor data at the right
time which can be proposed for monitoring building to assess earthquake damage. Low power network
architecture was implemented over an 802.15.4 MAC in the 900-MHz band.A custom patchantenna
was designed in thisfrequency band to obtain robustlinks in real-worldconditions. The modules have
been validatedin a full-scale laboratory setup with simulated earthquakes. This will be illustrated via
LABVIEW software which shows the Temperature level in the time of Earthquake and which helps in
preventing the human life.
Building and Monitoring Services at LithiumPaul Cichonski
Paul Cichonski's presentation from SF CloudOps Meetup on building and monitoring fault tolerant systems. (http://www.meetup.com/CloudOps/events/159397622/)
The student team tested various aspects of water quality at River Monitoring Site #7, including habitat, macroinvertebrates, total solids, nitrates, phosphates, pH, and dissolved oxygen. The habitat scored poorly due to lack of pools and narrow riparian vegetation. Macroinvertebrate testing found the river's health to be poor. Total solids and phosphates were high, while nitrates and pH were acceptable. Dissolved oxygen was moderate. To improve the river's quality, the team proposes dredging sediment, establishing an "Adopt a River" program, and restricting certain fertilizers. Costs of dredging could be offset through beach fees, equipment rentals, and fertilizer sales

Big Data and Social Monitoring: Building Meaningful RelationshipsEmanuela Zaccone
What does "big data" mean? Which is the importance of a data scientist in a company, and how this role can be strategic, in order to identify and to build new marketing and communication strategies?
Social Media Monitoring must be at the core of an effective circular and never ending process: thanks to it, it is possible to know not just what people is saying about our company but also how they interact and how these conversations can be transformed in strategy. So, it is important to give feedback to the operations and business area, as well as to other units which can be interested by the monitoring.
It is fundamental then that the data scientist - who has at least skills both in statistic and in marketing area - be able to apply classic quantitative analytics (engagement, reach, etc.) and qualitative ones: in this sense the social network analysis can play an interesting role in (re)defining the position of the brand and its relationship with its followers online.

Road construction is not as easy as it seems to be, it includes various steps and it starts with its designing and
structure including the traffic volume consideration. Then base layer is done by bulldozers and levelers and after
base surface coating has to be done. For giving road a smooth surface with flexibility, Asphalt concrete is used.
Asphalt requires an aggregate sub base material layer, and then a base layer to be put into first place. Asphalt road
construction is formulated to support the heavy traffic load and climatic conditions. It is 100% recyclable and
saving non renewable natural resources.
With the advancement of technology, Asphalt technology gives assurance about the good drainage system and with
skid resistance it can be used where safety is necessary such as outsidethe schools.
The largest use of Asphalt is for making asphalt concrete for road surfaces. It is widely used in airports around the
world due to the sturdiness and ability to be repaired quickly, it is widely used for runways dedicated to aircraft
landing and taking off. Asphalt is normally stored and transported at 150’C or 300’F temperature

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
