These days we have an increased number of heart diseases including increased risk of heart attacks. Our proposed system users sensors that allow to detect heart rate of a person using heartbeat sensing even if the person is at home. The sensor is then interfaced to a microcontroller that allows checking heart rate readings and transmitting them over internet. The user may set the high as well as low levels of heart beat limit. After setting these limits, the system starts monitoring and as soon as patient heart beat goes above a certain limit, the system sends an alert to the controller which then transmits this over the internet and alerts the doctors as well as concerned users. Also the system alerts for lower heartbeats. Whenever the user logs on for monitoring, the system also displays the live heart rate of the patient. Thus concerned ones may monitor heart rate as well get an alert of heart attack to the patient immediately from anywhere and the person can be saved on time.This value will continue to grow if no proper solution is found. Internet of Things (IoT) technology developments allows humans to control a variety of high-tech equipment in our daily lives. One of these is the ease of checking health using gadgets, either a phone, tablet or laptop. we mainly focused on the safety measures for both driver and vehicle by using three types of sensors: Heartbeat sensor, Traffic light sensor and Level sensor. Heartbeat sensor is used to monitor heartbeat rate of the driver constantly and prevents from the accidents by controlling through IOT.
ABSTRACT The success of the cloud computing paradigm is due to its on-demand, self-service, and pay-by-use nature. Public key encryption with keyword search applies only to the certain circumstances that keyword cipher text can only be retrieved by a specific user and only supports single-keyword matching. In the existing searchable encryption schemes, either the communication mode is one-to-one, or only single-keyword search is supported. This paper proposes a searchable encryption that is based on attributes and supports multi-keyword search. Searchable encryption is a primitive, which not only protects data privacy of data owners but also enables data users to search over the encrypted data. Most existing searchable encryption schemes are in the single-user setting. There are only few schemes in the multiple data users setting, i.e., encrypted data sharing. Among these schemes, most of the early techniques depend on a trusted third party with interactive search protocols or need cumbersome key management. To remedy the defects, the most recent approaches borrow ideas from attribute-based encryption to enable attribute-based keyword search (ABKS
Cloud computing is the one of the emerging techniques to process the big data. Large collection of set or large
volume of data is known as big data. Processing of big data (MRI images and DICOM images) normally takes
more time compare with other data. The main tasks such as handling big data can be solved by using the concepts
of hadoop. Enhancing the hadoop concept it will help the user to process the large set of images or data. The
Advanced Hadoop Distributed File System (AHDF) and MapReduce are the two default main functions which
are used to enhance hadoop. HDF method is a hadoop file storing system, which is used for storing and retrieving
the data. MapReduce is the combinations of two functions namely maps and reduce. Map is the process of
splitting the inputs and reduce is the process of integrating the output of map’s input. Recently, in medical fields
the experienced problems like machine failure and fault tolerance while processing the result for the scanned
data. A unique optimized time scheduling algorithm, called Advanced Dynamic Handover Reduce Function
(ADHRF) algorithm is introduced in the reduce function. Enhancement of hadoop and cloud introduction of
ADHRF helps to overcome the processing risks, to get optimized result with less waiting time and reduction in
error percentage of the output image
Text mining has turned out to be one of the in vogue handle that has been joined in a few research
fields, for example, computational etymology, Information Retrieval (IR) and data mining. Natural
Language Processing (NLP) methods were utilized to extricate learning from the textual text that is
composed by people. Text mining peruses an unstructured form of data to give important
information designs in a most brief day and age. Long range interpersonal communication locales
are an awesome wellspring of correspondence as the vast majority of the general population in this
day and age utilize these destinations in their everyday lives to keep associated with each other. It
turns into a typical practice to not compose a sentence with remedy punctuation and spelling. This
training may prompt various types of ambiguities like lexical, syntactic, and semantic and because of
this kind of indistinct data; it is elusive out the genuine data arrange. As needs be, we are directing
an examination with the point of searching for various text mining techniques to get different
textual requests via web-based networking media sites. This review expects to depict how
contemplates in online networking have utilized text investigation and text mining methods to
identify the key topics in the data. This study concentrated on examining the text mining
contemplates identified with Facebook and Twitter; the two prevailing web-based social networking

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has potential to spread within the peritoneal cavity, and this transcoelomic
dissemination is termed “peritoneal metastases” (PM).The aim of this article was to summarise the current
evidence regarding CRC patients at high risk of PM. Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer
death in the UK. Prompt investigation of suspicious symptoms is important, but there is increasing evidence that
screening for the disease can produce significant reductions in mortality.High quality surgery is of paramount
importance in achieving good outcomes, particularly in rectal cancer, but adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy
have important parts to play. The treatment of advanced disease is still essentially palliative, although surgery for
limited hepatic metastases may be curative in a small proportion of patients.
Heat transfer in pipes is a distinctive kind of procedure employed in heat exchanger which transfers great
deal of heat because of the impact of capillary action and phase change heat transfer principle. Late improvement
in the heat pipe incorporates high thermal conductivity liquids like Nano liquids, fixed inside to extricate the most
extreme heat. This paper audits, impact of different factors, for example, thermal pipe tilt edge, charged measure
of working liquid, nano particles sort, size, and mass/volume part and its impact on the change of thermal
proficiency, thermal exchange limit and decrease in thermal protection. The Nano liquid arrangement and the
examination of its thermal attributes likewise have been investigated. The retained sun oriented vitality is
exchanged to the working liquid streaming in the pipe. The execution of the framework is affected by thermal
exchange from tube to working liquid, with least convective misfortunes, which must be considered as one of the
essential plan factor. In tube and channel streams, to improve the rate of heat exchange to the working liquid,
detached enlargement methods, for example, contorted tapes and swirl generators are employed from the fluid
flow path. The variation of heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in the pipe flow for water and water based
Al2O3 Nano fluids at different volume concentrations and twisted tapes are studied.
Now-a-day’s pedal powered grinding machine is used only for grinding purpose. Also, it requires lots of efforts
and limited for single application use. Another problem in existing model is that it consumed more time and also has
lower efficiency. Our aim is to design a human powered grinding machine which can also be used for many purposes
like pumping, grinding, washing, cutting, etc. it can carry water to a height 8 meter and produces 4 ampere of electricity
in most effective way. The system is also useful for the health conscious work out purpose. The purpose of this technical
study is to increase the performance and output capacity of pedal powered grinding machine.
This project proposes a distributed control approach to coordinate multiple energy storage units

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Cairo University, Giza, Egypt
I. INTRODUCTION
Stone vessels are one of the amazing industries in
ancient Egypt. They could master completely all
types of rocks available in Egypt such as schist and
granite. The had the mechanical engineering
technology to produce awkward products not only
in their times, but even in present days with the
highly sophisticated machinery available.
Englelbach (1915) presented the excavations at
Riqqeh starting in December 1912 and Memphis
started in 1913. He presented the stone vases found
in graves related to 12th
and 18th
dynasties [1].
Lilyquist (1995) documented shapes, materials and
inscriptions for stone vessels from royal tombs from
15th
to mid-18th
dynasties. He proposed a cataloque
arranged in two parts: medium to large jars and
smaller containers [2]. Andrews and Van Dijk
(2006, Editors) presented stone vessels from the
Predynastic Periods, Early Dynastic Period, Old
Kingdom, and New Kingdom. This was within the
exhibition of the Egyptian collection of Arnold
Meijer whose catalogue was written by an
international team of specialists [3].
Bevan (2012) summarized the shapes, materials
and decorative pre-occupation that characterise
stone vessel traditions in different parts of the
eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze and very
early Iron Age [4]. Abdel-Kader and Mohammed
(2013) presented a case study for the restoration
and conservation of Egyptian alabaster vessels in
Atfiyah Museum Store. They found that the burial
and exposure environment had a severe effect on
the coherence of the Egyptian alabaster physical
structure causing the collapsing and weakness of
the alabaster [5]. Nielsen (2014) investigated the
fabric and stylistic parallels of an ovoid bottle from
the New Kingdom.in the National Museums
Liverpool. He suggested the function of the vessel
on the basis of context, parallels and shape [6].
Prevalet and Morero (2015) declared that
goldworking, stone vessels industry and the
production of faience objects flourished mostly in
Crete, Egypt and Levant. They showed that the
growth of trade and contacts between the Aegean
and the Orient during the second and first millennia
BC supported the spread of ideas and finished
objects [7]. Hassaan (2016) presented the
techniques and technology used by ancient
Egyptians to cut hard stones and produce very
complex artifacts. He studied how the ancient
Egyptians could produce flate stone surfaces with
accuracy better than 0.005 mm and measure
dimensions as small as 1.3 mm [8]. Hassaan (2016)
investigated the development of mechanical
engineering in ancient Egypt through its stone
vessels industry. His study covered the time span
from Predynastic to Old Kingdom Periods. He
investigated the features and innovation of some of
the available stone vessels from those periods [9].

III. NEW KINGDOM
The New Kingdom covers the 18th
through 20th
dynasties over the time span 1570 – 1069 BC
[18]. This period of the Egyptian history had
strong Pharaohs, strong economic and wide
territories of the Egyptian Empire. Therefore, we
are expected to see the reflection of this political
situation on the technology of stone vessels
production. Most of the models of stone vessels
available relate to the 18th
dynasty. This is
logical because it was the most wealthy dynasty
during this period.

shows a wonderful and highly appreciated
mechanical design of an alabaster vase
Pharaoh Tut located in the Egyptian Museum
of Cairo [31]. It has a medium mouth, flared
round rim, long neck, ovoid body, conical
base-neck and a large flat base. The neck
carries the head of Hathor, the body is
inscribed by two beasts pertaining to God, the
conical base is inscribed by the Pharaoh
protocol. The base is supported by
symbols of 'ankh' one from each side of the
conical base neck. The top part including the
neck and body is supported by smoothly
changing curved strands bounding plant
flowers. All this complex structure was
carved from a single piece of alabaster stone
[31]. This is a marvellous mechanical
engineering work. If one draws a vertical
centreline for the vase,
he will find that it is
exactly symmetric
as if it was cut using
a modern CNC
machine !!.
