http://ijaers.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us August 2017 This research has assessed the impact of intercritical annealing using the intermediate quenching technique and tempering on the mechanical properties of low carbon steel. The procedure involved austenitizing at 850OC for 1hour followed by quenching in water and thereafter annealed at 730OC, 750OC and 770OC (i.e. α + γ region) for 30 minutes and then quenched in water again. Some of the as-quenched samples were tempered at 320OC for 1hour and cooled in still air. Tensile, hardness and impact tests as well as microstructure characterization were conducted for samples from all the heat treatment schedules. It was observed from the results that martensite volume fraction increases almost linearly as a function of temperature. Ductility and impact decreased with increase in temperature. Tempering deteriorated the assessed mechanical properties. Hence, for a steel of this composition, intermediate quenching should not be followed by tempering. http://ijaers.com/detail/effect-of-intermediate-quenching-and-tempering-on-the-mechanical-behaviour-of-low-carbon-steel/ Sunday Chukwuyem Ikpeseni http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/1 IJAERS-JUL-2017-33-Effect of Intermediate Quenching and Tempering.pdf The restoration works undertaken in the archaeological site of Chellah in the Sixties used cement for the consolidation of the Roman structures undercovered. They’re mainly consisting of calcareous rocks, which density, porosity, and hardness are lower then cement, and they’re clearely weakened. Indeed, the capillary increase to which are subjected the structures allowed to convey salts whose advance is blocked by the introduced cement mortar. Trapped in the calcareous rock, the salts contribute to the acceleration of its degradation. http://ijaers.com/detail/cement-mortar-restorations-and-disorders-in-the-archaeological-site-of-chellah/ Meriem Benharbit http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/2 IJAERS-JUL-2017-48-Cement Mortar Restorations and Disorders.pdf Milk is a product with a high nutritional value, and it may appear in daily meals in its natural form or processed and transformed into various milk products. To be processed in industry, milk must have the proper quality conditions for its consumption, and the levels of its constituents must fall within the standards indicated by Normative Instruction no. 62 (2011). Due to its composition, its constituents tend to separate when at rest. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the behavior of the physiochemical parameters of chilled raw milk stored in temporary horizontal storage tanks. With the milk at rest in the tank, collections were made of the milk at the times of 0, 60, 120, 180, 210, 240, 270 and 300 minutes. These collections were performed at two points of the tank: at the top collection point (Ps) and the bottom collection point (Pi) of the tank. After the collection of the samples, the following parameters were determined: fat (G), non-fatty solids (SNF), density (D), cryoscopic index (95), protein (P), lactose (L) and solids (SI). After completion of the tests, it was possible to verify that the solid constituents of the milk showed different behaviors, since the fat separated completely at 210 minutes promoting a stabilization in the separation of the fat. This same behavior was found for Density and the Cryoscopic Index. The other solid constituents of the milk didn't separate, maintaining themselves stable in both the bottom and top of the tank. As such, the conclusion can be drawn that fat is the only physiochemical compound that separates from milk at rest, thus affecting its Density and Cryoscopic Index. http://ijaers.com/detail/behavior-of-the-physiochemical-parameters-of-raw-milk-stored-in-temporary-horizontal-storage-tanks/ Maria Regina Thomaz, Francieli DalCanton, Josiane Maria Muneron de Mello, Sideney Becker Onofre http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/3 IJAERS-JUL-2017-45-Behavior of the Physiochemical Parameters of.pdf In recent yearsupconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)have being investigated due to their potential applications in biomedicine such as fluorescent biolabels, among many others. The luminescence of this kind of NP’s are effectively activatedby near infrared radiation (NIR) and upconvertto luminescence in the visible region. Besides, their luminescence is not faded as compared with organic dyes and fluorescent proteins. In this study, UCNPs made of Y2O3:Yb3+, Er3+ (1%, 10% mol) and Gd2O3:Yb3+, Er3+ (1%, 10% mol) were functionalized with aminosilanes and folic acid (UCNP-NH2-FA) and characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and luminescence measurements. Moreover, cytotoxicity was analyzed via colorimetric assays MTT (methy-134 thiazolyltetrazolium) in two cancer cell lines: cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa) and breast cancer cells MB-MDA-231. It is found that the functionalized UCNPs were non-cytotoxic in all cancer cell lines. Confocal images revealed that UCNP-NH2-FA conjugates as a target to attract cells with overexpressed folate receptor (FR). The UCNPs offer a great potential to be used as bio labels because their fluorescence was clearly localized into cell cytoplasm. http://ijaers.com/detail/functionalized-up-conversion-rare-earth-nanoparticles-for-bio-imaging-of-cancer-cells/ Chavez-Garca D., Juarez-Moreno K., Campos C.

Analyzing and deciphering an image clearly with the aim of gathering more insight, especially without any human intervention is the ideal goal. With this aim in mind, it would be highly desired to have an autonomous detector that measures the reading given by a fire gauge which is mounted off a fire exterminator. http://ijaers.com/detail/analysis-of-fire-extinguisher-gauge-level-using-opencv/ Gayatri Behera http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/5 IJAERS-AUG-2017-5-Analysis of fire extinguisher gauge.pdf Internet of Things has become one of the most emerging technologies now days, which is growing rapidly in the telecommunications field. It is as a network of physical objects, peoples, vehicles, buildings, and other items, which are having a unique identity and are able to interchange data using embedded electronics, sensors, and software equipment to reach common goals. The large scale of real time data collected and exchanged between objects in IoT grows exponentially which represent a big challenge in term of storing and processing. Cloud Computing has emerged as a key technology to solve the problem of IoT data storage and processing by offering multiple choices of resources provided by cloud service provider, including storage, processing, memory and network bandwidth. Nevertheless, as many other technologies, Cloud computing has some issues regarding IoT data storage. One of the major issues is Security and Privacy. In this paper, we will present a proposed architecture for a Secure IoT data integration in Cloud Storage Systems. http://ijaers.com/detail/a-secure-iot-data-integration-in-cloud-storage-systems-using-abac-access-control-policy/ Ismail Chahid, Abderrahim Marzouk http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/6 IJAERS-MAY-2017-55-A Secure IoT Data Integration.pdf This paper discusses incompatibilities between stones and mortars. The aim is to understand the evolution of rocks of acid nature, sandstones in this case, in the presence of mortars of an alkaline nature, such as cement mortars used for jointing or coatings. Accelerated aging tests combining alkaline alteration and salt alteration were simultaneously carried out in order to study the synergy between these two processes of degradation. The degradation process is follow-up by observing the induced alteration patterns, the identification of the newly appeared mineral phases and the evolution of the ultrasonic propagation speed of the materials tested. The obtained results allow showing that the pH-salt crystallization synergy is particularly aggressive towards the studied materials and that the sustainability of the rocks subjected to circulations of basic solutions due to the proximity of mortars of alkaline nature is seriously reduced. http://ijaers.com/detail/incompatibility-stone-mortar-influence-of-ph-on-the-sensitivity-of-rocks-to-saline-alterations/ Meriem Benharbit http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/7 IJAERS-AUG-2017-6-Incompatibility stone-mortar Influence.pdf Load fluctuation characteristics have a great influence on drilling performance. so, study the influence of coal rock hardness and confining pressure on the load fluctuation characteristics of PDC bitbecome more and more important. Gas drainage drilling experiment table was built and Gas drainage drilling experiment was carried out under different coal rock hardness and confining pressure.The results indicate that drilling torque and feed resistance are decreased with the increase ofcoal rock hardness. Vibration amplitude of drilling torque and feed resistance increase with increase of coal rock hardness when the value of coal rock hardnessis larger than 1.3. Vibration amplitude of feed resistance is maximumwhen the value of coal rock hardness is 1.03 and Vibration amplitude of feed resistance is minimum when the value of coal rock hardness is 1.03. Drilling torque and feed resistance are increased with the increase of confining pressure. Vibration amplitude of feed resistance decreases from 3MPa to 7MPa then increases. Vibration amplitude of drilling torque and feed resistance are all minimum when the value of confining pressure is 7MPa. It provides a good basis for setting the appropriate feeding speed and rotation speed in actual work. http://ijaers.com/detail/influence-of-coal-rock-hardness-and-confining-pressure-on-load-fluctuation-characteristics-of-pdc-bit-during-gas-extraction-borehole-in-soft-coal-seam/ Shifeng Wang, Xiaoming Han, Qiangqiang Zhang, Jialiang Li, Detuo Chene http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/8 IJAERS-AUG-2017-12-Influence of Coal Rock Hardness and.pdf In this paper, an improved technique of using open-ended rectangular waveguide sensor for simultaneous non-destructive complex electromagnetic parameters determination of compound absorbing materials is developed. The technique is based on employing a layered material medium, which consists of material to be tested and known materials, sandwiched between sensor aperture and perfect conductor plate to obtain two complex reflection coefficients necessary to achieve this purpose. Finite-Difference Time-Domain method is adapted to account for the finite flange size of the sensor and numerically calculate the sensor reflection coefficient under different test conditions. The technique can be employed for cases of single layer and multilayer medium planar sheet measurement. The parameters of the material under test are obtained by fitting both the calculated and measured reflection coefficients using the iterative optimization technique. The details related to the analysis, FDTD modeling and testing procedure of the proposed technique is discussed. The simulations and experimental results are compared with the published data by literatures and companies to validate the proposed technique. The technique is promising for potential applications such as design and fabrication of sheet or layered coating materials and nanocomposite material and bio-medium characterization. http://ijaers.com/detail/a-nondestructive-technique-for-em-parameter-determination-of-compound-materials-using-rectangular-waveguide-sensor-and-layered-material-media/ Abdulkadhum A.

The results indicate that sunflower is more sensitive to gamma radiation than roselle, so the LD50 for sunflower and roselle was not reached, because the doses of radiation used, did not achieve 0% germination. Thus, the radiosensitivity curves were fitted to a linear model, with a high coefficient of determination. From the present investigation, It can be concluded that to determine the LD50 in the species in question, It is necessary to increase the dose of irradiation, perhaps up to 1000 Gy. http://ijaers.com/detail/gamma-irradiation-effect-of-sup-60-sup-co-on-the-germination-of-two-subtropical-species-in-the-tehuac-n-cuicatl-n-valley/ Ernesto Díaz López, Alejandro Morales Ruíz, Arturo Olivar Hernández, Patricia Hernández Herrera, Juan Antonio Juárez Cortes, Jorge Francisco Leon de la Rocha, Nazario Francisco Francisco, Heliodoro Santiago Santia http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/10 IJAERS-AUG-2017-1-Gamma Irradiation Effect of.pdf Gumuk is a natural phenomenon that occurs in East Java, especially in Jember. The existence of gumuk scattered in the district of Jember has mined intensively, causing their numbers have declined dramatically. Collecting data in this study conducted on each of the gumuk using waypoint on GPS device consisting of latitude and longitude coordinates. Waypoint data is modified into shapefile (shp) then it is processed using ArcView Gis 3.3. Based on our preliminary studies in 2 Subdistrict of Pakusari and Ledokombo identified as cumulate gumuk while in the subdistrict of Arjasa as spread gumuk. The groundwater potential in cumulate and spread gumuk need to be investigated so that further confirming the role of gumuks as a water storage. Groundwater potential estimated using self potential methods. The results obtained in the cumulate gumuk have potential value 2 mV to -14 mV, the goundwater potential in the gumuk can be assumed to be dominant. While on the spread gumuk, soil water anomaly uneven, only at some point. The groundwater potential in this gumuk less dominant than the cumulate gumuk. From this study could be concluded that the distribution of cumulate gumuk more abundant groundwater potential than spread gumuk. http://ijaers.com/detail/preliminary-studies-of-groundwater-potential-and-it-s-distribution-patterns-in-the-gumuk-at-jember/ Priyantari N., Supriyadi, Suprianto A., Imbani A.N., Astutik L http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/11 IJAERS-AUG-2017-14-Preliminary Studies of Groundwater.pdf E-commerce as anything that involves an online transaction. E-commerce provides multiple benefits to the consumers in form of availability of goods at lower cost, wider choice and saves time. The general category of e-commerce can be broken down into two parts: E-merchandise: E-finance. E commerce involves conducting business using modern communication instruments: telephone, fax, e-payment, money transfer systems, e-data interchange and the Internet. Online businesses like financial services, travel, entertainment, and groceries are all likely to grow. Forces influencing the distribution of global e-commerce and its forms include economic factors, political factors, cultural factors and supranational institutions. Goods and Service Tax or GST as it is known is all set to be a game changer for the Indian economy. Overall it is known to be beneficial to both the consumer, business and the Government. In India, there are different indirect taxes applied on goods and services by central and state government. GST is intended to include all these taxes into one tax with seamless ITC and charged on both goods and services. Thus excise duty, special additional duty, service tax, VAT to name a few will get repealed and will be added into GST. For this, GST will have 3 parts CGST, SGST and IGST. The central taxes like excise duty will be subsumed into CGST and state taxes like VAT into SGST. This going to be forward on all transactions of both goods and services, only one tax will apply which is GST comprising of CGST and SGST. IGST would be applied instead of SGST for interstate transactions. Input credit of all these taxes will be available against all the respective outputs. This paper is outcome of a review of various research studies carried out on Impact of GST on E-commerce. This paper examines different aspects like No threshold for GST registration, No Benefit under Composition Scheme, Tax Collection at Source by Marketplace Operator. Finally in the conclusion one country and one tax will help Indian Economy to grow Rapidly. http://ijaers.com/detail/impact-of-gst-on-e-commerce/ Ms. Priti Jadhav, Ms. Manjushree Yewale, Ms. Trupti Kalyankar, Mrs. Vandana Nemane http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/12 IJAERS-AUG-2017-18-Impact of GST on E-Commerce.pdf For a greater amount of ubiquity of information outsourcing to cloud, it may be vital to preserve those security of information furthermore empower those cloud server should handle the information effortlessly toward same period. With accomplish such requirements, “Reversible Data hiding by Encrypted image (RDH EI)” makes enormous challenge for analysts. In this novel, proposed a framework for “Block transformation for EI through RDH”. Contrasting with past Encryption based schemes, RDH EI based framework let the user to transmit the semantic of original image into semantic of target image with similar size. The transmitted picture or image looks similar as target image, which is utilized as Encrypted image (EI), and will outsource to Cloud server. Hence, Cloud server can embed the data into EI through RDH technique for Plain text image. Also image can retrieve back as original without any degradation. Data hiding will be done by least significant bit replacement, also RIT mainly includes block pairing and block transformation process which satisfies image quality. http://ijaers.com/detail/block-transformation-for-encrypted-image-through-rdh/ Pavana K P, Mrs. Aritri D.Ghosh http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/13 IJAERS-AUG-2017-20-Block Transformation for.pdf The progress made in Information Technology and the popularity of best practices have grown to give rise to new applications such as IT GRC. the good use of these applications requires communication and exchanges between these architectures. In front for a high number of standards and best practices, the model of management in Information system department becomes very dynamic. In this model, audit and change management are two problematics that are rarely automated in the function of information systems. These systems must adapt to new management methods and practices in order to improve innovation and management within companies. The major challenge of these standards and best practices is to adapt the target processes to the existing context and to have automatic mechanisms for auditing and generating a plan of evolution in an application. In this paper we propose an approach for Audit and Change Management in IT GRC tools. Our approach uses multi-agent systems to give the evolution plan in order to generate a road map for implementation the IT governance framework. http://ijaers.com/detail/a-multi-agent-systems-contribution-for-audit-and-change-management/ Nabil Benanbaar, Laila Moussaid, Hicham Medromi http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/14 IJAERS-AUG-2017-16-A Multi-Agent Systems Contribution.pdf This paper presents a study on the properties of soil stabilized by using lime and egg shell powder. Tests were conducted to assess the potential of egg shell powder in replacing lime, which can make the overall stabilization process economical and eco-friendly. Results obtained show that all the treated mixes gave much better strength than untreated soil. Egg shell powder was introduced in quantities of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% of the weight of soil. Tests were conducted replacing up to 50% of the lime used for stabilization. It was observed that 25% replacement of lime by egg shell powder gave better strength properties and can be adopted for practical purposes. http://ijaers.com/detail/potential-of-egg-shell-powder-as-replacement-of-lime-in-soil-stabilization/ Anoop S P, Hizana Beegom, Jwoleena P Johnson, Midhula J, Tharis Muhammed T N, Prasanth S http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/15 IJAERS-AUG-2017-22-Potential of Egg shell powder as.pdf
