http://ijaers.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us May 2017 Construction industry consists of many parts which result in a complexity in its nature. In Kurdistan Region (KR) of Iraq, construction projects have a lot of drawbacks in measuring their time of the product, cost, and safety of the work. The research below is to recognize and estimate the issues impacting the product performance in KR. The results that we got from the previous studies participated in preparing this research. A study is investigated for 63 factors of consultants and constructors viewpoints. The total questionnaire was 120. 83 answers are (69%) resulted from the participants: 16 (64%) to owners, 22 (63%) to consultants and 45 (75%) to contractors. Significant issues decided were: The delay in execution of projects due to shortage and closure of materials; the labors’ availability in their work according to project duration; managing of projects and providing the skills of leadership; Alteration in prices of materials; highly qualified and expert persons need; Using of good materials and equipment. Constructing organizations should reach their strong purpose in their production. Perfect methods and approaches must be recognized for controlling the impact of political and economic conditions. Additionally, a training program should be provided to progress the innovators in the construction industry construction projects. Organizations in the KR should assess the sharing of the market earlier than implementing projects. The reason is going to the difficult economic situation in the KR. This will help the administrations to accomplish works positively. http://ijaers.com/detail/factors-affecting-project-performance-in-kurdistan-region-of-iraq/ Sevar Neamat http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/1 IJAERS-APR-2017-65-Factors Affecting Project Performance in Kurdistan Region of Iraq.pdf Pond ash is to be investigated for its use as a partial replacement for sand in cement mortar (1:4). The effort is to be made for the utilization of Pond Ash as sand replacement material in mortar which may introduces many benefits from economical, technical and environmental points of view. The project will present the results of the cement mortar of mix proportion 1:4 in which sand will partially replace with Pond Ash as 0%, 10%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight of sand. It is proposed to prepare two set of mixture proportions. First will be a control mix (without Pond Ash with regional fine aggregate (sand) and the other mixing will contain Pond Ash obtained from Thermal Power plant industry. The compressive strength test is to be conducted with partial replacement of Pond Ash with sand. The strength property of mortar with Pond Ash for strength at 28 days as partial replacement with the cement in the cement mortar 1:4 is to be determined. Similarly the other set of cement mortar incorporating Pond Ash is to be kept in elevated temperature up to 1100° C and tested for its compressive strength.

Industrial automation application is one of the key issues in developing RFID. Therefore, this paper designs and implements a RFID-based autonomous mobile vehicle for more extensively application of RFID systems. The microcontroller LPC2148 is used to control the autonomous mobile vehicle and to communicate with RFID reader. By storing the moving control commands such as turn right, turn left, speed up and speed down etc. into the RFID tags beforehand and sticking the tags on the tracks, the autonomous mobile vehicle can then read the moving control commands from the tags and accomplish the proper actions. Due to the convenience and non-contact characteristic of RFID systems, the proposed mobile vehicle has great potential to be used for industrial automation, goods transportation, data transmission, and unmanned medical nursing etc. in the future. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed mobile vehicle. http://ijaers.com/detail/autonomous-mobile-vehicle-based-on-rfid-technology-using-an-arm7-microcontroller/ Mr. Ravi Chandra Bathula, Mr. Sharath Chandra Inguva http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/6 IJAERS-APR-2017-84-Autonomous Mobile Vehicle based on RFID.pdf The present work aims to investigate the implementation of a new air intake on a canard type aircraft, through efficiency and drag calculations using a commercial CFD code. Preliminary semi-empirical studies proved that the NACA air inlet was the best option available since it reduces aerodynamic drag. Later, a set of numerical studies were performed with the air intake mounted on a flat plate (theory check) and in the aircraft's fuselage, in order to check the effect of the incoming flow disturbed by the fuselage. These simulations were performed using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and turbulence modeling. Data analyses were based on the air inlets efficiency, drag, velocity profiles and the effect of the fuselage's curvature. The results confirmed that the NACA air intake has satisfactory performance, especially in reducing drag, and led to further considerations about the design of the aircraft in terms of sizing the air intakes. Also, the approach applied in this work was considered to be a methodology for new design implementation and/or selection. The CFD results have been corroborated by an empirical approach from the ESDU (Engineering Science Database Unit). This study was part of collaboration between the Brazilian Aircraft Factory (FABE) and the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). http://ijaers.com/detail/numerical-investigation-of-a-naca-air-intake-for-a-canard-type-aircraft/ B.H. da Silveira, P.R.C.

Most monitoring systems that are in use in today’s world works in offline mode but our system is designed such that a patient can be monitored remotely in real time. The proposed approach consists of sensors which measures heartbeat and body temperature of a patient which is controlled by the microcontroller. Both the readings are displayed in LCD monitor. Wireless system is used to transmit the measured data from the remote location. The heartbeat sensor counts the heartbeat for specific interval of time and estimates Beats per Minute while the temperature sensor measures the temperature and both the data are sent to the microcontroller for transmission to receiving end. Finally, the data are displayed at the receiving end.

When considering the Healthcare service in Sri Lanka, National Hospital of Sri Lanka plays a major role. The hospital faces the problem of overcrowding the patients and long waiting queues of patients for different healthcare needs specially on surgical purposes. The objective of the study is to introduce a queuing model for optimizing the performance of surgical units in National Hospital of Sri Lanka. In the study, the operation theaters of Accident and Emergency unit were only considered. According to the queuing model M/M/3 the existing system is not utilized well due to arrival rate is higher than the service rate. Hence it is needed to increase the service rate. According to the current system the theaters function in 4 equal work shifts in 24 hours. Some operation theaters do not function on all the shifts. It was identify that the average maximum service rate of one shift is 4.25 patients. By making all theaters functioning in that rate in all shifts the system can make efficient with the service rate of 51 patients per day. This task will be achieved by increasing the capacity of live resources. http://ijaers.com/detail/a-queuing-model-to-optimize-the-performance-of-surgical-units/ M.G.R.U.K. Ferdinandes, G.H.J.

Lately the most widely used material for construction of special buildings is self-compacting concrete because of the ability to fill entire section of formworks without compaction and vibration and better homogeneity between concrete and reinforcement. With massive usage of Self Compacted Concrete (SCC) in special buildings, series of researches are conducted all over the world analyzing cracks, mechanical characteristics and deformations of SCC. These researches shows that calculation of concrete elements with normal concrete do not give adequate results according to EC2 because of the concrete class consistency and amount of reinforcement in the cross section. The SCC as raw material provides better results in term of concrete consistency gives better cross section homogeneity and it is vibration free. However SCC concrete cracks, deformations, creep, deflections are different than normal concrete and as such must be calculated and analyzed before application. In this paperwork we have presented calculation of cracks on long term process of SCC beam element after period of t=400 days from concreting and comparison of results with the theoretical ones in line with Eurocode 2 (EC2) requirements. http://ijaers.com/detail/crack-calculation-of-beams-from-self-compacted-concrete/ Hajdar E.

Its segmentation in fundus imaging is a difficult task due to various anatomical structures like blood vessel, optic cup, optic disc, macula and fovea. Blood vessel segmentation can assist in the detection of pathological changes which are possible indicators for arteriosclerosis, retinopathy, microaneurysms and macular degeneration. The segmentation of optic disc and optic cup from retinal images is used to calculate an important indicator, cup-to disc ratio( CDR) accurately to help the professionals in the detection of Glaucoma in fundus images.In this proposed work, an automated segmentation of anatomical structures in fundus images such as blood vessel and optic disc is done using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) . A Convolutional Neural Network is a composite of multiple elementary processing units, each featuring several weighted inputs and one output, performing convolution of input signals with weights and transforming the outcome with some form of nonlinearity. The units are arranged in rectangular layers (grids), and their locations in a layer correspond to pixels in an input image. The spatial arrangement of units is the primary characteristics that makes CNNs suitable for processing visual information; the other features are local connectivity, parameter sharing and pooling of hidden units. The advantage of CNN is that it can be trained repeatedly so more features can be found. An average accuracy of 95.64% is determined in the classification of blood vessel or not. Optic cup is also segmented from the optic disc by Fuzzy C Means Clustering (FCM). This proposed algorithm is tested on a sample of hospital images and CDR value is determined. The obtained values of CDR is compared with the given values of the sample images and hence the performance of proposed system in which Convolutional Neural Networks for segmentation is employed, is excellent in automated detection of healthy and Glaucoma images. http://ijaers.com/detail/segmentation-of-optic-disc-in-fundus-images-using-convolutional-neural-networks-for-detection-of-glaucoma/ R.

Therefore, to deal with problems in our everyday life, every project implementation is to solve the problem as and when required. In this article we will try and study about problems and the techniques and methods by which we can solve it or mitigate the situation. Again it is worthy to mention as a prelude and also to conclude that problem solving is an individual skill and it therefore varies from person to person and from situation to situation and there exist no thumb rule to redress ay problem as a generalized rule. By the end of this article, we will try and develop certain tools by which we may approach a problematic situation before redressing the problem. http://ijaers.com/detail/problem-solving-approach/ Arkeya Pal, Er.

This paper presents the comparative study of the consequences of different spacing and number of elements in terms of array factor, antenna directivity and half power beam-width (HPBW) for Broadside array. The results were obtained through the antenna parameters algorithm and simulations were done with MATLAB. The algorithm has been designed to operate with random number of elements with specific spacing. Output was studied with 2, 10, 40, 70 and 100 numbers of elements having specific spacing. The particular spacings are 0.1λ, 0.25λ, 0.5λ and 0.75λ. With the increase of number of elements and spacing between them, the directivity and array factor increases. http://ijaers.com/detail/study-of-broadside-linear-array-antenna-with-different-spacing-and-number-of-elements/ Kailash Pati Dutta http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/30 IJAERS-MAY-2017-46-Study of Broadside Linear Array Antenna.pdf Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixtures rely on stone-to-stone contacts among particles to resist applied forces, and permanent deformation. Aggregates in SMA should resist degradation (fracture and abrasion) under high stresses at the contact points. Current practices for asphalt mix design and acceptance testing rely on volumetric properties. Vital to the calculation of mix volumetric properties are specific gravity measurements of the mixture and the aggregate in the mixture. For the Motorways wearing course,SMA stone grid must fulfil the mineralogical-petrographic condition to be on rock of igneous and/or metamorphic origin but of silicate composition, specific weight and LA method on resistance to fragmentation. During the construction of the Kosovo motorway for wearing course was used the SMA as asphaltlayer for providing longer lifetime to the road construction. The super-pave mix design for SMA wearing course has been composed considering the available stone with high mineralogical and petrographic composition. The stone used for the wearing course on this motorway has resistance to crushing of LA =18 which is below the standard criteria for heavy traffic roads and motorways wearing courses. Thespecific weight of used stone was 3100 kg/m3which is about 15% heavier than standard weight. For this specific stone were prepared special super-pave design mix with binder content 4.5% which was well below than typical SMA composition of 6.0−7.0% binder rather of mixture was 3100 kg/m3. In this paperwork it is described the design mix of SMA composed with relatively high specific weight and their impacts on asphalt mix design properties used in Kosovo Motorway. http://ijaers.com/detail/a-review-of-aggregate-and-asphalt-mixture-specific-gravity-measurements-and-their-impacts-on-asphalt-mix-design-properties-and-mix-acceptance/ Esat Gashi, Hajdar Sadiku, Misin Misini http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/31 IJAERS-MAY-2017-43-A Review of Aggregate and Asphalt mixture.pdf Let H_i be a finite collection of simple, nontrivial andundirected graphs and let each H_i have a fixed vertex v_jcalled a terminal. The amalgamation H_i as v_j as a terminal isformed by taking all the H_i's and identifying their terminal.When H_(i )are all isomorphic graphs, for any positif integer nwe denote such amalgamation by G=Amal(H,v,n), where ndenotes the number of copies of H. The graph G is said to be an(a,d)-H-antimagic total graph if there exist a bijectivefunction f: V(G)∪ E(G)→ {1,2,… ,|V (G)| +|E(G)|} such that for all subgraphs isomorphic to H, the totalH-weights W(H)=∑_(v∈ V(H)) f(v)+∑_(e∈ E(H)) f(e) forman arithmetic sequence {a,a + d,a +2d,...,a+(n - 1)d}, wherea and d are positive integers and n is the number of allsubgraphs isomorphic to H. An (a,d)-H-antimagic total labelingfis called super if the smallest labels appear in the vertices.In this paper, we study a super (a,d)-H antimagic totallabeling of G=Amal(H,v,n) and its disjoint union. http://ijaers.com/detail/super-complete-antimagicness-of-amalgamation-of-any-graph/ R.M Prihandini,Ika Hesti Agustin, Dafik, Ridho Alfarisi http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/32 IJAERS-MAY-2017-45-Super complete-antimagicness of Amalgamation.pdf Charge migration through DNA is a problem to be solved. A numerical wavefront solution for quantum transmission lines with charge discreteness is obtained as model for the charge migration of a chain DNA molecules induced by electromagnetic radiation. The nonlinearity of the system becomes deeply related to charge discreteness. The wavefront velocity depends on the normalized (pseudo) flux variable. Finding the dispersion relation for the normalized flux we show that the condition on the wave-front velocity gives the band-gap conditions for the charge propagation on the system. http://ijaers.com/detail/charge-discreteness-as-model-in-charge-migration-in-a-chain-of-dna-molecules-under-radiation/ Hector Torres-Silva , Erik Santos http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/33 IJAERS-MAY-2017-47-Charge Discreteness as Model in Charge.pdf — Dengue fever is one of endemic diseases in Jember regency.

Presently the many of cloud computing systems endow digital identity for clients to access their services, this will bring some drawback for a hybrid cloud that includes multiple private clouds and/or public clouds. Today most cloud computing framework use asymmetric and traditional public key cryptography to give information security and common authentication. Identity-based cryptography has some attraction attributes that appear to fit well the necessities of cloud computing. In this paper, by receiving federated identity management together with hierarchical identity-based cryptography (HIBC) with cloud heritage technique, not only the key distribution but also the mutual validation can be rearranged in the cloud. http://ijaers.com/detail/cloud-computing-security-with-identity-based-authentication-using-heritage-based-technique/ Rishi Kumar Sharma, Dr. R.K.Kapoor http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/35 IJAERS-MAY-2017-38-Cloud Computing Security with Identity-Based.pdf Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are becoming increasingly common now a days and typical network loads considered for MANETs are increasing as applications evolve. This increases the importance of bandwidth efficiency and requirements on energy consumption delay and jitter. Coordinated channel access protocols have been shown to be well suited for MANETs under uniform load distributions. However, these protocols are not well suited for non-uniform load distributions as uncoordinated channel access protocols due to the lack of on-demand dynamic channel allocation mechanisms that exist in infrastructure based coordinated protocols. We have considered a lightweight dynamic channel allocation algorithm and a cooperative load balancing strategy that are helpful for the cluster based MANETs and an effective handover technique to improve the increased packet transmission mechanism. This helps in reduce jitter, packet delay and packet transfer speed, we use a novel handover algorithm to address this problem We present protocols that utilize these mechanisms to improve performance in terms of throughput, energy consumption and inter-packet delay variation (IPDV). http://ijaers.com/detail/effective-handover-technique-in-cluster-based-manet-using-cooperative-communication/ Suryakumar.V, Dr. V. Latha http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/36 IJAERS-MAY-2017-48-Effective Handover Technique in Cluster.pdf A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors connected via a (wireless) communications infrastructure to cooperatively monitor, record and store physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants. This makes it more popular in emerging technologies that are used in our daily life. While WSNs have many benefits, there are also a few drawbacks. A big area of research into WSNs has concentrated on creating routing protocols that are energy efficient. It is a tremendous challenge to design routing protocols for applications of WSNs, which are mobility centric and energy efficient; because of network topology is often being changed. The concept of clustering offers more benefit than the other flat based routing protocols. A common side-effect of the many-to-one traffic pattern is the hot spot issue, which characterizes the majority of wireless sensor networks: nodes having the optimal path to the sink become overloaded with traffic from all other areas of the network which cause it to lose energy at a faster rate than the other nodes. This research work is aimed at evaluating and validating the proposed Mobile Data Collector-based routing protocol (MDC maximum residual energy LEACH) with A Novel Application Specific Network Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks routing protocol (Hybrid multi-hop LEACH). A computer simulation was employed to obtain the results that have indicated an improvement in the overall energy efficiency of the network. http://ijaers.com/detail/efficient-routing-scheme-for-mobile-wireless-sensor-networks-using-hybrid-multi-hop-leach/ Mr Mallikarjun Mugli, Dr A.
