This work examines the effect of fiber angle, fiber volume fraction and hole size on the stress concentration around the circular hole of (AS4/3501-6) carbon/Epoxy lamina subjected to unidirectional in plane loading. Three independent fiber volume fractions and fiber orientations for three different hole sizes are considered. Both analytical and finite element solutions are presented using micro and macro mechanics approaches of analysis of orthotropic lamina and by using ANSYS10 finite element package. The analysis is initially carried out by fixing the hole size and by varying the other two parameters (fiber angle and fiber volume fraction). Next, the fixing parameter is interchanged in a cyclic fashion and the process is continued. It is found that the whole size and fiber orientation have greater influence on the stress intensity concentration around the hole vicinity compared to fiber volume fraction.

Biometric based personal verification gains popularity due to the importance of security and privacy protection. The target of this paper was the design and development of a finger vein identification system that could be used by a number of users in an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) environment. Finger vein recognition uses the internal and unique patterns of finger veins to identify individuals at a high level of accuracy. In general, it is identified that it is a great challenge to design a finger vein identification systems that provides a certain level of performance. For this purpose an effective algorithm based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) for finger vein recognition is used. The information of the finger veins extracted based on a Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Wavelet Transform. Finally, the two score values by the LBP and Wavelet transform is to be combined by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) for image classification. The technique is implemented in MATLAB platform. The Equal Error Rate (EER) and the processing time is reduced when compared to other methods.

This paper is highly concerned and mark approached to present a sharp image of Indian youth and their different psychological reasons to adopt direct or indirect physical and mental unrest and agitation related to society, politics, administration, schools and universities.It is really a matter where the youth are vulnerable to outside influences and imitate others but this does not mean that the youth only follow a way of destruction, assualt andget involved in terroistic activities. Somewhwer the question arises why? Should the youth alone be expected to conform to traditional moral values and lofty ideas? How can they look up to self-proclaimed political, religious and social leaders for inspiration?

The tribal’s, who live in forest areas and other remote place, have got their own culture, customs, practices and religion. They have not remained uninfluenced through the sources of change. The changes have taken place even among the tribal groups that who lived separate from non-tribal. The tribal population in the State of Karnataka, and in the country as a whole, is the most deprived and vulnerable community that faces severe economic exclusion. Although certain constitutional safeguards are provided, no significant economic, social and political mobility has taken place across this community. Therefore it is important to find out the type of changes that have taken place and the factors in effecting these changes and finally the pace and direction of changes that have taken place among them Our paper on “Tribal Identity And The Implications For Political And Cultural Development:A Sociological Analysis” the situation of the Scheduled Tribes in the background of various policies of the state during the successive plan periods and its impact on their socio-economic mobility. Politically, this community is the most voiceless in the state. Their unsecured livelihood position in terms of lack of legal entitlements of the resources they use, both land and non-timber forest produce, push them into deep economic vulnerability.

Steganography is the art of communicating in such a way that the existence of a secret information within another remains invisible. Since the Greek-era steganography has become a popular mode of secret communication. Modern day digital steganography has traveled through a long path of modification and development from basic LSB matching process to complex artificial intelligence based method. Transferring E-governance related information through non-secure channel like internet is just not vulnerable for the data itself but could damage governmental security and privacy.Therefore, this types of important documents could be protected from unauthorized viewers by applying steganography. In this paper, we have reviewed various steganography techniques and analyzed their positive and negative sides in brief which could be applied for secure transaction of E-governance data.

Green Science and Technology is one of the important agenda for building eco-friendly institutions, organization and Governance system. Today many domains are dealing with Green and environmental aspects for better and healthy sustainability. Among so many knowledge domains Green Computing, Green Information Technology, Green Business gain popularity. These domains are mainly responsible for the design and development of system and mechanism which may be manual or computational dedicated to Green and Eco-Friendly environment creation. Many organization and institutions are engaged healthy strategy and policy towards building of Environmental health system and computing platform and to bring complete sustainability. This paper is about Green Science and Technology; their basic feature and importance. Paper is also illustrated future possibilities as academic programme on these domains.

Data compression is the process that is used to reduce the physical size of a block of information; data compression encodes information using fewer bits to help in reducing the consumption of expensive resources such as disk space or transmission bandwidth. The task of compression consist of two components, an encoding algorithm that takes a message and generates a compressed representation (hopefully with fewer bits), and a decoding algorithm that reconstructs the original message or some approximation of it from the compressed representation. Data Compression is divided into two (2) broad categories namely Lossless compression and lossy algorithms. This paper examined these compression techniques and provided a comparative analysis of three commonly used compression techniques (the Huffman, Lempel-Ziv and RunLength Encoding). The results revealed that compression algorithms can be proven to be more effective on notepad, text, web documents, PDF, Images and sound.
