Broad phoneme classification using signal based featuresijsc
Speech is the most efficient and popular means of human communication Speech is produced as a sequence
of phonemes. Phoneme recognition is the first step performed by automatic speech recognition system. The
state-of-the-art recognizers use mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) features derived through short
time analysis, for which the recognition accuracy is limited. Instead of this, here broad phoneme
classification is achieved using features derived directly from the speech at the signal level itself. Broad
phoneme classes include vowels, nasals, fricatives, stops, approximants and silence. The features identified
useful for broad phoneme classification are voiced/unvoiced decision, zero crossing rate (ZCR), short time
energy, most dominant frequency, energy in most dominant frequency, spectral flatness measure and first
three formants. Features derived from short time frames of training speech are used to train a multilayer
feedforward neural network based classifier with manually marked class label as output and classification
accuracy is then tested. Later this broad phoneme classifier is used for broad syllable structure prediction
which is useful for applications such as automatic speech recognition and automatic language
identification.
Comparative performance analysis of channel normalization techniqueseSAT Journals
Abstract A major part of the interaction between humans takes place via speech communication. The speech signal carries both useful and unwanted information. Processing of such signals involve enhancing the useful information. The intelligibility of speech signals is significantly reduced due to the presence of unwanted information such as noise. Channel normalization algorithms suppress such additive noise introduced in the speech signals by transmission channel or by recording environment conditions. Enhancing the quality and intelligibility of speech signals improve the performance of speech systems such as Automatic speech recognition (ASR) , voice communication and hearing aids to name the few. Based on the experimental results the comparative analysis of channel normalization techniques have been presented in this paper to find out the most suitable algorithm for enhancing the speech signals.

To consider the fact that colored noise corrupts the speech signal non-uniformly over different frequency bands, Multi-Band Spectral Subtraction (MBSS) approach is exploited wherein amount of noise subtracted from noisy speech signal is decided by a weighting factor. Choice of optimal values of weights decides the performance of the speech enhancement system. In this paper weights are decided based on SFM (Spectral Flatness Measure) than conventional SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) based rule.

Compact Stepped Impedance Resonator Bandpass Filter with Tunable Transmission...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper proposes a compact microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) with tunable transmission zero,
narrow bandwidth and low insertion loss. Transmission zeros are the key to improve the band rejection
and filter frequency selectivity. A λ/4 stepped impedance resonator (SIR) with two additional via holes has
been adopted to obtain a compact size and a pair of transmission zero (TZ). The BPF is designed to
operate at 3.5 GHz with fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 7.2%.Furthermore, three techniques have been
developed to create a pair of controllable transmission zeros on both side of each passband. The TZ can
be controlled by adjusting either magnetic or electric coupling. The measured return losses and insertion
lossis larger than 18 dB and 2.2 dB respectively. The overall size of the proposed design filter is 5.3mm x
5.5mm without considering the feeding lines.

Abstract An improved feed forward adaptive Active Noise Control (ANC) scheme is proposed by using Voice Activity Detector (VAD) and wiener filtering method. The ‘speech-plus-noise’ periods and ‘noise-only’ periods are separated using VAD and the unwanted noise is removed by adaptive filtering method. By using Speech Distortion Weighted- Multichannel Wiener Filtering (SDW-MWF) algorithm the noise periods which is present along with the speech signal, is processed and filtered out. The background noise along with the speech samples are removed by the iterative procedure of filtering process. Feed forward based ANC is used to achieve a system with a better noise reduction in speech processing. Adaptive filtering process is carried out and the speech signal without the background noise can be achieved.

Microstrip low pass filter designs using defected ground structureeSAT Journals
Abstract The microwave filters play an important role in most RF/microwave applications. They are designed to remove undesired harmonics to reduce the system noise or to remove spurious mixing products. DGS slot with an interdigital shape are introduced here in two elliptic low pass filter designs. Here a fifth order low pass filter was designed, simulated and fabricated for a cut off frequency of 3GHz. Finally a prototype model were designed based on the simulation results obtained. These prototype filter designs have more than 20 dB of stop band rejection and a good return loss in the pass band. The fabricated results proved to be better than the simulation results. In the first low pas filter design the central aperture was replaced with the interdigital slot structure which improved the stop band response at the resonant frequency around 7.8 GHz. To improve the stop band rejection two interdigital structures were introduced in the bottom layer (Ground). Key Words: Defected ground structure (DGS), low pass filters, microstrip filter, transmission zero.

A New Speech Enhancement Technique to Reduce Residual Noise Using Perceptual ...IOSR Journals
This paper deals with residual musical noise which results from the perceptual speech enhancement
type algorithms and especially using wiener filtering approach. Perceptual speech enhancement techniques
perform better than the non perceptual techniques, most of them still return a trouble residual musical noise.
This is due to that only noise above the noise masking threshold (NMT) is filtered out then noise below the noise
masking threshold (NMT) can become audible if its maskers are filtered. It can affect the performance of
perceptual speech enhancement method that process the audible noise only (Residual noise is still present). In
order to overcome this drawback a new speech enhancement technique is proposed here.The main aim here is to improve the enhanced speech signal quality provided by perceptual wiener filtering and by controlling the
latter via a second filter regarded as a psychoacoustically motivated weighting factor. The simulation results
gives the information that the performance is improved compared to other perceptual speech enhancement
methods
Inter-connected coupled lines resonator topology for bandpass filter applicat...IJECEIAES
This paper presents an inter-connected side-shorted coupled-line resonator topology as a base cell. The base cell is built from two single-shorted quarter-wavelength coupled-line sections, connected in series to give a halfwavelength coupled-line that creates a single resonance of bandpass filter response. Higher-order bandpass filter is produced by adding new singleshorted coupled-line sections, cascaded in an inter-connected manner to the base cell. This new topology creates a unique arrangement that caused cross coupling effects between the resonators, resulting to the occurrence of transmission zeros that lead to the improvement of selectivity of the higher order bandpass filter response. For validation of concept, 2 nd order bandpass filters were fabricated using microstrip technology on Roger 3210 substrate with parameter of Ɛr=10.2, h=1.27 mm and tan δ=3x10-3. The filters were measured and the results show good agreement with simulation results. and 3 rd

Performance Analysis of Acoustic Echo Cancellation TechniquesIJERA Editor
Mainly, the adaptive filters are implemented in time domain which works efficiently in most of the applications. But in many applications the impulse response becomes too large, which increases the complexity of the adaptive filter beyond a level where it can no longer be implemented efficiently in time domain. An example of where this can happen would be acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) applications. So, there exists an alternative solution i.e. to implement the filters in frequency domain. AEC has so many applications in wide variety of problems in industrial operations, manufacturing and consumer products. Here in this paper, a comparative analysis of different acoustic echo cancellation techniques i.e. Frequency domain adaptive filter (FDAF), Least mean square (LMS), Normalized least mean square (NLMS) &Sign error (SE) is presented. The results are compared with different values of step sizes and the performance of these techniques is measured in terms of Error rate loss enhancement (ERLE), Mean square error (MSE)& Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and measurement of 3.4-3.9 GHz parallel coupled microstrip
bandpass filter. The EM simulation results indicate that the insertion loss varies between -1dB and -0.795dB at
the desired frequency band. Both input and output VSWRs show the maximum value of 1.28. More than 40dB
rejections out of band are witnessed at the stopbands of DC-2.7GHz and 4.85-7.45GHz. In contrast, the
measured insertion loss is a little poorer, changing from -1.87dB to -2.59dB, and above 40dB suppression is also
recorded at the same stopbands. A little higher input and output VSWRs, 1.415 and 1.404 are achieved in the
fabricated filter. These results demonstrate that the developed filter can be applied in 3.4-3.9GHz

A review on glitch reduction techniqueseSAT Journals
Abstract This paper presents different techniques for reducing glitch power in digital circuits. The aim of this study is to minimize glitch power as glitch power comes under dynamic power, so that power dissipation will reduce up to some extent in digital circuits. Warren Shum et.al [2011] work shows glitch power in FPGA’s varies from 4 % to 73 % of total dynamic power having an average of 22.6 %. Warren Shum et.al [2011] and J. Lamoureux et.al [2008] motivates us to reduce glitch power in digital circuits as well as FPGA’s. Different techniques are available for reducing glitch power like gate sizing, gate freezing, multiple threshold transistors, hazard filtering, balancing path delay, by reducing switching activity etc. Keywords: Glitch, Power dissipation, Gate sizing, Gate freezing, multiple threshold transistor, Hazard filtering, balancing path delay and switching activity.
Utility ownership of combined heat and power an economic model based approacheSAT Journals
Abstract This paper proposes, and reviews, an Excel based model to evaluate the cost effectiveness for utility ownership of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants. CHP plants provide highly efficient use of fuel for production of electric power and useful heat. This efficient use of fuel can lead to lower energy bills for a company, or group of companies, utilizing a CHP plant, though at a large upfront cost. In order to provide the needed capital, cash reserves or debt can be used. This large capital experiments leads to longer payback periods, which may make CHP plant unattractive investments for end users, but fits perfectly into Electric power utilities investment strategy. This model was developed as a tool for an electric utility to determine if an investment into a CHP plant and selling the waste heat to an end user, would be an attractive investment worthy of further engineering investigation. For this paper, simulations where ran at seven different power hubs in five different power markets in the United States. Overall, the model showed that CHP plant would be an attractive investment in the New York City region and Boston regions, but not in Midwest. These differences are driven by lower power and lower capacity prices in the Midwest compared to the North East. Key Words: combined heat and power, economic approach, energy, modelling, simulation, Waste Heat
Flow analysis of butterfly valve using cfdeSAT Journals
Abstract
A butterfly valve is a type of control valve which is used for isolating or diverting the flow. The working mechanism takes place from the disc. Function is similar to that of a ball valve, which allows for quick close and open systems. Butterfly valves are selected because of their lower cost to other valves manufacturing techniques, also lighter in weight, meaning less support is required. Rotating disc is placed in the center of the valve body. Disc can be operated by either manual handle or electrical actuators of various torques. The close-off pressure acting on the disc is directly proportional to the in-line pressure in pipe. The valve is selected according to the pressure and torque and pipe diameter, which allows lowering the damage the valve in operation. Fluid flow is controlled through piping systems, which in turn are connected to the valves. The valve body comprises of disc, which also controls the flow of fluid through various angles of opening. The disc is connected in Centre through the stem which is connected to either handle or the rotating actuator. The design of the valve body and disc is of much important for linear or equal percentage flow. Nowadays the equal percentage flow is obtained by characterizing disc, which allows to maintain the equal percentage flow at different differential pressure across the pipe. Sometimes it becomes very critical to maintain the equal percentage flow; CFD can predict the flow performance and rate of discharge through the valve. This paper focuses on the study of 8”and 20” valves performance factors and results obtained by analysis as well as from the load bearing capacity of the valve However special thanks to Prof. Yogesh Dodia for his guidance to make this paper rational and justifiable. Keywords: Butterfly valve, CFD, Stress Analysis, orthogonal array, optimization.
Seismic pounding between adjacent rc buildings with and without base isolatio...eSAT Journals
Abstract Among the possible structural damages during an earthquake, the seismic induced pounding also has been one of the commonly observed phenomena. This is because the separation gap between many adjacent buildings is inadequate to accommodate the relative motions, so buildings vibrate out of phase and collides. Despite the fact that the seismic pounding between nearby structures is considered in the codal procurements, the act of development is still an issue in numerous metropolitan zones where the structures are built with no adequate partition separation which brings about their pounding. In this study E-Tabs nonlinear software is used for simulation of adjacent multi-storeyed RC frame buildings of G+14 and G+9 storey, the provisions that may reduce the effects of pounding like the separation distance, addition of shear walls, lateral bracings and variation in storey height of the buildings have been considered for analysis. And the responses like storey-displacement and pounding force by considering both fixed base and base-isolated conditions are arrived. Keywords: Seismic pounding, RC frame building, Separation distance, Gap elements, Storey-displacement Pounding force, Fixed-base, Base isolation.
A survey on supercapacitors and their applicationseSAT Journals
Abstract The need for more sustainable, capable energy storage has motivated a transformed scientific and commercial concern in advanced capacitor designs in which the suite of experimental techniques and ideas that comprise nanotechnology are playing a vital role. Capacitors might be charged and discharged speedily and are one of the primary building blocks of many types of electrical circuit, from microprocessors to large-scale power supplies, but generally have reasonably low energy storage potential when compared with batteries. The blende of nanorange materials with bespoke morphologies and properties to electrochemical supercapacitors is being intensively studied and observed .Recuperating and preserving energy of a moving vehicle as it slows down and accelerate the vehicle later by means of that preserved energy, can significantly increase fuel efficiencies of automobiles. Capacitors are one of the primary and basic building blocks of many types of electrical circuit. Therefore, an effort here is done to present a survey on supercapacitors.

Statistical modeling to forecast the strength of concrete using accelerated c...eSAT Journals
Abstract It is very much necessary to know the performance of the concrete mix before their actual use on site. The fact that all the required readings of concrete are only obtained after 28 days of curing which becomes a constraint when various grades of concrete are to be used in the same work. Accelerated curing of concrete is a good solution in such cases. IS 9013-1978 gives detailed description as well as guidelines to be adopted during the process of accelerated curing along with an equation to predict the 28 days strength of the concrete. An equation which predicts the achievable strength of concrete under normal curing by using the accelerated curing strength as the dependent parameter is available in the IS code. In this paper we have analyzed the reliability of the equation when additives such as fly ash are used in the mix. At the end it was found that the predicted values largely varied from the actual values obtained from the IS code. In this paper an effort is made to form a new equation by using 3 independent variables such as the fly ash content, water-cement ratio and the accelerated curing strength to obtain fairly reliable results.

Analysis of different hierarchical routing protocols of wireless sensor networkeSAT Journals
Abstarct Wireless sensored network is nowadays very popular in the field of research because world is now switching faster from wired communication to the wireless communication. It is used in environment monitoring, habitat monitoring, battlefield etc. WSN is made up of tiny sensor nodes which senses the data and communicate to the base station via other nodes.WSN networks are data-centric rather than node centric. So, main issues in WSN networks are energy consumption of network, lifetime of a network, delay, latency, quality of service etc.WSN has defined many routing protocols for the network. The main challenge in WSN is to design a routing protocol which gives the maximum energy efficient routing because nodes in sensored network are equipped with the battery. So, as time passes the battery of nodes will decrease so in turn network lifetime will decreases. There are many routing protocols which are classified as their working and their application to different conditions. This paper describes a brief information about routing protocols. The main focus of this paper is to give the comparison of different hierarchical routing protocols. Keywords: Leach, Pegasis,Teen/Apteen, WSN
A high speed dynamic ripple carry addereSAT Journals
Abstract Adder, which is one of the basic building blocks of a processor affect the performance of the processor. There are many adder architectures each of them have their own advantage. Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) architecture occupies the minimum area among the other architectures with lesser power dissipation. RCA experiences more delay due to its carry propagation in critical path; apart from the delay it also experiences glitches. Constant delay (CD) logic solves both the delay problems and glitch related problems. CD logic, due to its pre-evaluated characteristics delivers high speed but due its bulkier nature it is used only in the critical path. In this paper two new techniques are presented which modifies the conventional timing block (requires ten transistors) in CD logic and two new timing blocks one with eight transistors and other with nine transistors are developed. The CD logic with the two new timing block is used in critical path of RCA to achieve higher speed performance with lesser area compared to conventional CD logic. The CD logic with 9-transistor timing block achieves 70% and 39% delay reduction compared to Static and Domino logics. It also achieves 21% and 5% reduction in power dissipation and delay. The 8-transistor version also achieves reduction of delay by 65% and 29% compared to Static and dynamic logic. The two versions of timing blocks have their own advantages where 9-transistor version provides high speed and 8- transistor version provides lesser power dissipation. Simulations are carried out in 130 nm at 1V power supply using mentor graphics tools. Key Words: Critical Path, Feed Through Logic, Constant Delay logic, Pre-evaluated logic, and Timing block.

Abstract
The present research was designed to check the workability and strength properties of sisal fiber reinforced concrete with different mix proportions and different percentage of fiber addition. The materials were chosen to improve the various strength properties of the structure to obtain sustainability and better quality structure. Short discrete vegetable fiber (sisal) was examined for its suitability for incorporation in cement concrete. The physical property of this fiber has shown no deterioration in a concrete medium. Fibers were brushed, lined up and cut to obtain 4cm length. Degree of workability of concrete mix with 0.2% super plasticizer and water cement ratio 0.45 had good workability with slump value 53mm and compaction factor 0.88, which is effective, was obtained. Materials were hand mixed with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% addition of fiber in M20 and M25 mix design and casted in cubes and cylinders. The obtained specimens were subjected to tests aimed to check the compressive, tensile and flexural strength. An increase in compressive strength by 50.53% and tensile strength by 3.416% was observed for 1.5% addition of fiber in M20 mix design respectively. An increase in compressive strength by 52.51% and tensile strength by 3.904% was observed for 1.5% addition of fiber in M25 mix design respectively.

Analysis of diagrid structure in comparison with exterior braced frame structureeSAT Journals
Abstract
Over the last 10 years, diagrid structures have proven to be highly adaptable in structuring a wide range of building types, spans
and forms. In most applications, diagrids provide structural support to buildings that are non rectilinear, adapting well to highly
angular buildings and curved forms. The origin of the diagrid structural technology lies at the crossroads of engineering and
architecture. The term “diagrid” have come from perimeter diagonals which have good structural efficiency and is gaining new
interests in designing of tall structures because of its lattice like look. The term “diagrid” is a blending of the words “diagonal”
and “grid” and refers to a structural system that gains its structural integrity through use of triangulation. In the diagrid
structures, the vertical columns from the periphery are eliminated and this constructs the main difference between diagrids and
exterior braced frames. Having triangulated configuration, the diagrids are able to carry the gravity and lateral loads. They also
effectively minimize shear deformation as the diagonals carry the loads axially. The diagrid structural system is adopted these
days for tall buildings because of its stiffness and flexibility in the architectural planning. This paper presents the study of 20-
storey diagrid structure in comparison with exterior braced frame structure.Analysis results and design of both the models are
presented in terms of storey shear, displacement, drift and summary of lateral and gravity forces.

Speech enhancement using spectral subtraction technique with minimized cross ...eSAT Journals
Abstract The aim of speech enhancement is to get significant reduction of noise and enhanced speech from noisy speech. There are several
approaches for speech enhancement .earlier approaches didn’t consider cross spectral terms into account. Cross spectral terms
become prominent when processing window size becomes small i.e. 20ms-30ms. In this paper, an enhancement method is
proposed for significant reduction of noise, and improvement in the quality and perceptibility of speech degraded by correlated
additive background noise. The proposed method is based on the spectral subtraction technique. The simple spectral subtraction
technique results in poor reduction of noise. One of the main reasons for this is neglecting the cross spectral terms of speech and
noise, based on the appropriation that clean speech and noise signals are completely uncorrelated to each other, which is not true
on short time basis. In this paper an improvement in reduction of the noise is achieved as compared to the earlier methods. This
fact is mainly attributed to the cross spectral terms between speech and noise. This algorithm can be implemented and used in
hearing aids for the benefit of hearing impaired people. Objective speech quality measures, spectrogram analyses and subjective
listening tests conforms the proposed method is more effective in comparison with earlier speech enhancement techniques.

Distributed dynamic frequency allocation in wireless cellular networks using ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Frequency Allocation Problem in wireless cellular networks is a major area of research in telecommunication industries. Since users of mobile phones are increasing exponentially, the existing limited frequency spectrum is unable to provide services efficiently. To enhance the performance of the networks, some measures must be taken to reduce drop call probabilities due to non availability of free frequency. The existing frequency allocation scheme call “hybrid with borrow” drops the calls regularly if frequencies are not free in a given cell. In this paper, we have developed a new scheme called “HYBORROW”, which elegantly increases the utilization of new drop call probability by 20% over an existing scheme by borrowing the frequencies from neighbor cells.

Suppression of noise in noisy speech signal is required in many speech enhancement applications like signal recording and transmission from one place to other. In this paper a novel single line noise cancellation system is proposed using derivative of normalized least mean spare algorithm. The proposed system has two phases. The first phase is generation of secondary reference signal from incoming primary signal itself at initial silence period and pause between two words, which is essential while adaptive filter using as noise canceller. Second phase is noise cancellation using proposed modified error data normalized step size (EDNSS) algorithm. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm and original EDNSS algorithm using standard IEEE sentence (SP23) of Noizeus data base with different types of real-world noise at different level of signal to noise ratio (SNR). The output of proposed, NLMS and EDNSS algorithm are measured with output SNR, excessive mean square error (EMSE) and misadjustment (M). The results clearly illustrates that the proposed algorithm gives improved result over conventional NLMS and EDNSS algorithm. The speed of convergence is also maintained as same conventional NLMS algorithm.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.

Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

enable planning process involving all the stakeholders at different levels and scales is compulsory. Such a unified hydrological
framework is essential to evaluate the cause and effect of all the proposed actions within the drainage basins.
The present paper describes a hydrological framework developed in the form of a Hydrologic Information System (HIS) which is
intended to meet the specific information needs of the various line departments of a typical State connected with water related aspects.
The HIS consist of a hydrologic information database coupled with tools for collating primary and secondary data and tools for
analyzing and visualizing the data and information. The HIS also incorporates hydrological model base for indirect assessment of
various entities of water balance in space and time. The framework would be maintained and updated to reflect fully the most
accurate ground truth data and the infrastructure requirements for planning and management.

Experimental investigation on circular hollow steel columns in filled with li...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial
experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. Analysis was carried out using ANN (Artificial Neural
Network) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab- a statistical soft tool. Comparison for predicted, experimental & ANN output is
obtained from linear regression plots. From this research study, it can be concluded that *Cross sectional area of steel tube has most
significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity, *as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased & *ANN
modeling predicted acceptable results. Thus ANN tool can be utilized for predicting ultimate load carrying capacity for composite
columns.

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Effect of variation of plastic hinge length on the results of non linear anal...eSAT Journals
Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

Abstract
In speech signal processing using of filter banks is very important. The critical requirement is the sum of all the frequency
responses of the band-pass filters of the filter bank i.e. composite frequency response be flat with linear phase. This paper deals
with design and implementation of linear-phase FIR digital filters based filter bank flat with flat composite frequency response.
The design is based on special properties of FIR filters by which excellent frequency response can be achieved.
Keyword: Speech signal, FIR Filter, Composite frequency response.
-------------------------------------------------------------------***-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. INTRODUCTION
In a variety of speech processing systems filter banks are
used to perform short time spectrum analysis. To cover a
desired portion of the speech band a set of band-pass filters
is designed. By simply adding together the outputs of the
band-pass filters, it is possible to approximate the spectrum
of the input speech signal.
It is possible to characterize the behavior of filter banks by
considering the composite frequency response. Since,
ideally, the combined output should be equal to the input,
then we desire that the composite frequency response have
constant magnitude and linear phase over the desired band
of frequencies. Earlier work emphasizes the relative phases
between channels which is important in achieving a flat
composite frequency response. Using this method excellent
overall response can be obtained for both IIR and FIR
digital filters in filter banks in which the center frequencies
are uniformly spaced. This method is not easily extendable
to non-uniformly spaced filter banks.
2. SPEECH ANALYSIS
Speech signals are basically partitioned into voiced
speech segments and unvoiced speech segment . A voiced
speech segment is also known as pitch of voiced speech. It
has high energy content and is periodic in nature. The
unvoiced part of the speech looks like a random noise
with no periodicity. Some parts of the speech that are
neither voiced nor unvoiced are called transition segments.
The speech can be analysed either by Time domain method
and Frequency domain method.

4. FILTER BANK DESIGN
To design a filter bank using FIR filters, we must first
determine the range of frequencies to be covered by the
composite response. Let us assume that these are denoted
ωmin and ωmax, where ωmax ≤ . Now, if there are a
total of Nf, f ilters, we must choose the bandwidths and
center frequencies so that the entire range of frequencies
ωmin ωmax is covered. This is depicted in Fig 2.3.1
for the case Nf = 3. This figure shows the ideal responses
for each bandpass filter;
Fig:4 A typical nonuniform filter bank.
4.1 Design Examples
In this section, we illustrate the use of the principles with
examples of both uniform and non-uniform filter banks. For
all the examples, the sampling rate is assumed to be 8
kHz.
Example 4.1
Suppose that we wish to design a bank of 15 equally
spaced filters that covers the range 200 to 3200Hz. Then we
find that the cutoff frequency for all the low-pass filters
is
fo = = 100Hz
The center frequencies are
fck = = 100(2k+1)Hz k=1,2,3………15.
Table: 4.1 Values of center frequencies
K 8 0.53125
1 0.09375 9 0.59370
2 0.15625 10 0.65625
3 0.21875 11 0.71875
4 0.28125 12 0.78125
5 0.34375 13 0.84375
6 0.40625 14 0.90625
7 0.46875 15 0.96875
4.1.1 The specifications are,
1. Attenuation= 60dB.
2. Cutoff frequency= 100Hz.
3. The widest transition band that is reasonable is 200
Hz.
4. Order must N= 150.
5. Adjacent channels cross at 0.5 amplitude.
6. Filters will merge together.
7. The deviation is from unity.

Fig: 4.1.1 FIR Filter Banks
Fig: 4.1.2 Composite Frequency Response
Figure 4.1.2 shows the composite response of the filter
bank. It is clear that the filters merge together very well at
the edges of the frequency bands. Indeed, the deviation
from unity is less than or equal to the peak approximation
error, =0.001.
Example 4.2
A non-uniform spacing of the filters is often used to
exploit the ear's decreasing frequency resolution with
increasing frequency. Suppose that we wish to cover the
same range 200 to 3200 Hz as in Example 4.1, but we
wish to use only four octave band filters. That is, each
successive filter will have a bandwidth twice the
bandwidth of the previous filter. We find that the lowest
frequency channel has cutoff frequency.
fo= = = 100Hz
In general, the cutoff frequencies of the prototype low-pass
filters are

4.2.1 The specifications are,

2. Spacing = Twice the bandwidth of the previous
filter.
3. Coverage range = 200 to 3200 Hz.
4. Order N= 150.

Fig: 4.2.2 Composite Frequency Response
Example 4.3
Suppose that all the parameters remain the same as in
Example 4.2 except that we require narrower transition
regions. This means that a larger value of N is required.
Figure III.4.1 shows the filter bands corresponding to the
parameters of Example 4.2 except that N =301 and =
0.012082 (transition width is 116 Hz). The sharper
transitions are apparent in Fig. 4.3.1 shows that the

Fig: 4.3.1, Four Non-uniform FIR Filter Banks for N = 301
and Composite frequency.
Example 4.4
We have assumed throughout that the transition width was
less than twice the smallest lowpa -ss cutoff frequency. In
our examples, this constraint required that N be at least 150.
In this case, all the parameters were the same as in
Examples 2.2 and 2.3, except in the case of N=101and
=0.0362465. The transition width is 348 Hz, which is
much greater than twice the cutoff frequency of the first
low-pass filter. It is clear that reasonable filters are
obtained for the wider bandwidth filters however, the lowest
filter does not attain unity response anywhere in its pass-
band. The preceding examples make it abundantly clear
that, for sufficiently long impulse responses, the composite
filter bank response can be very flat.
Fig: 4.4, Four Non-uniform FIR Filter Banks for N = 101
and Composite frequency.
Where design techniques for IIR filter banks were
discussed, the best results achieved for the composite
response were approximately 1-dB peak-to-peak ripple for
uniform bandwidths and about 2.5-dB peak-to-peak ripple
for non-uniform bandwidths. This is in contrast to the
results of the examples of this section, where the peak-to-
peak ripple in the composite response was about 0.0274 dB
for all the filter banks independent of how the bandwidths
were chosen. This, together with the precise linear phase
that is easily achieved, makes the FIR filter banks superior
to what can be achieved for IIR filter banks. The price that
is paid for this is that rather large values of N are
required to achieve sharp transitions. However, the values
of N used in the previous examples are certainly not
unreasonable if the filters are implemented by FFT
convolution methods or in special purpose hardware.
5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In this paper totally four filter banks were designed using
FIR filter. One is linearly spaced and remaining three are
non-linearly spaced. These filter banks are tested with some
known signals and monotone signals, such as cosine signals
with certain value of frequencies and also vowels.
When 1000Hz cosine signal is applied to all the filter banks.
The output is obtained in only one filter bank which is
having the bandwidth in the range of 1000Hz (860-1243
Hz). The output can be found by observing the output
signals of all the FIR filter banks. The signal which is
having more periodic as compared to other signals will be
our required output. And in other way is by calculating the
energy of all the filter outputs. The filter output which is
having the higher energy is our required output. Later
monotone signals are applied to filters such as vowels (a, e,
i, o, u) and calculated the bandwidths of those signals.

5.2 Listening sounds of all the FIR filters of the filter bank
when isolated vowels are input it is observed that, Only
filters of lower bands are able to produce the given clear
speech stimuli as output. It means the output speech is same
as the input speech. Whereas in the higher bands the output
does not convey the actual speech. This is true for all higher
band filters. It is because vowels are low pass signals.
6. CONCLUSION
We have discussed a design method for filter banks
composed of linear digital filters. The method exploits the
linear-phase properties obtainable for such filters, as well
as the symmetry of the transition region that results from
the windowing method of design. We summarized this
method of design for the Kaiser window and illustrated the
filter bank design method with several examples. These
examples show the proposed design method has a great
deal of flexibility and that excellent response
characteristics can be achieved.
