Detonation velocity is an important property to consider when rating an explosive. It is an established fact that measuring velocity of detonation gives a good indication of the strength and hence the performance of the explosive. This paper presents and discusses the design and implementation of continuous wire discrete resistance VOD measuring technique (sensor)for bulk explosives. In this technique step change in resistance is preferred to increase the system reliability as well as it reduces the system complexity. Sensor used in discrete point's method is based on resistance change in the region of several kilo ohms improving the noise immunity.

VANETs (Vehicular ad-hoc network) are characterized by a very dynamic topology with partial infrastructure support, patterned mobility, and mobile nodes with sufficient amount of resources, intermittent connectivity and varied channel behavior. For this purpose, we always use the location information that vehicles share among them through repetitive messages that are transmitted in the VANET system. In addition to communication among the vehicles, VANET interface with communication access points provided by on road infrastructure. Thus in this paper we propose that the design of city environment VANET network with Wimax by using two key strategies which are multiple input & multiple output technology (MIMO) and adaptive modulation coding (AMC) which by combining gives the significantly enhanced data rate & maximum throughput with high efficiency in wireless network.

CMOS based technologies fail to satisfy the Moore's law beyond Nano scale, leading to intensive research in identifying an alternative technology that can take over CMOS in the near future. Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one among the various technologies proposed by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) as a viable alternative to CMOS. QCA offers the highest device density of 1014 devices/cm2 and operates at a maximum speed of T Hz. In this paper we have realized all the basic gates using multiplexers as the key element in QCA technology. Compact libraries can be designed by realizing all the basic gates using just a multiplexer.

Software Requirements modeling is important for requirement understanding especially when they are expressed in Natural Language such as English, which is universally understood. Expressing requirement is such a way is natural and known to stakeholders. However, they are prone to ambiguity and poor understandability. This paper demonstrate how we can model software requirement expressed in natural language and represent them with a simple graph based structure using techniques of Natural Language Processing (NLP), this helps in understanding and correct interpretation of requirements. It can also represents knowledge about the requirement, which can be used to derive test case in early development phase.

With the fast development in computer network and multimedia technology, digital data (such as image, video, audio or text) are stored, transmitted and distributed through internet without any loss or damage of content. Digital image watermarking is use for the protection of digital data from the illegal manipulations. Watermarking not only allow user to access, view and interpret the image but also protects the ownership of the content, as protection is a crucial area. In this paper, a new semi-blind composite image watermarking algorithm based on DWT-SVD that is robust against various attacks is proposed. We obtained four different frequency images using DWT and IDWT transform. Watermark is embedded in high frequency sub-band by modifying the values of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Scaling factor is used to improve. Various experimental results demonstrate that proposed algorithm is able to withstand under various attack.

VEHICULAR ad hoc networks (VANETs) are the self-configuring networks where the nodes are vehicles (equipped with on-board computers), elements of roadside infrastructure, sensors, and pedestrian personal devices. In the current state of the art in this field there is a need of studies on real outdoor experiments to validate the new VANETs optimizing protocols and applications. Thus exchanging up-to-date information among vehicles is the most salient feature of a VANET. In order to do so, the packets have to travel through the network from one node to the others & thus give rise to concept of inter VANET data handovers & VDTP (Vehicular data transfer Protocol). In this work, we have addressed the utility of metaheuristic algorithms (PSO,GA) for inter VANET sensor data handovers in order to study the performance analysis to maximize the throughput & reliability improvement in real VANET.

Software impacts almost every aspect of modern society. Developers of a software system are responsible for identifying the requirements of the application, developing software that implements the requirements, and for allocating appropriate resources (processors and communication networks). Development of quality software systems has always been a great challenge for software developers. In practice, it happens that non-functional aspects are often ignored while focusing on the functionality of the system. Many systems have failed because of negligence of non-functional requirements. To study the impact of non-functional requirements on requirements evolution, this paper discusses various approaches, available in the literature, to represent non-functional requirements during software development. To study the impact of non-functional requirements on requirements evolution, this paper is focused on three issues: Different views on non-functional requirements, Representation of non-functional requirements and Dealing with non-functional requirements.

Software testing plays an important role in early verification of software systems and it enforces quality in the system under development. One of the challenging tasks in the software testing is generation of software test cases. There are many existing approaches to generate test cases like using uses case, activity diagrams and sequence diagrams; they have their own limitations such as inability to capture test cases for non functional requirements and etc. Thus these techniques have restricted use in acceptance testing and are not effective for verification & acceptance of large software system. If software requirements are stated using semi-formal or formal methods then it is difficult for the testers and other third party domain experts to test the system. It also requires much expertise in interpreting requirements and only limited number of persons can understand them. This paper proposes an approach to generate test case from software requirements expressed in natural language using natural language processing technique.

Technologies used in multimodal interfaces include conventional direct-manipulation devices like the keyboard, mouse, and pen and touch screen, as well as progressively more advanced recognition technologies such as speech recognition, 2D and 3D gesture recognition, and lip movement and gaze tracking. Usability studies, exploring and evaluating the human factors involved in multimodal input, provide useful insight and guidance toward the design and implementation of multimodal interfaces. The primary goal in the design of any user interface is to facilitate the interaction between user and machine. This user-centered goal is the guiding force behind choices made in the design process. There are, of course, many system engineering issues that influence interface design decisions such as schedules, proper functionality, reliability, etc. However, addressing these issues ideally serves the purpose of creating a better user experience with the system. One purpose of researching multimodal interfaces from an HCI perspective is to evaluate how to take advantage of the benefits they provide over unimodal recognition-based interfaces and conventional keyboard and mouse interfaces. Such advantages include flexibility, availability, adaptability, efficiency, lower error rate, and a more intuitive and natural interaction [1, 2]. Technology is one way to remove the hindrances and benefit the people. It is found that all the recent techniques for Multimodal System are based on computer tools, techniques and technologies like: Artificial Intelligence; Expert System; Graph Matching; Soft Computing; Natural Language Processing (NLP); Multi-Modal and HCI. Several researchers have explored their possibilities and have achieved results to certain extent, but progress in Speech Recognition & Language Understanding using gestures, & optimization as a whole has been limited which gives us future scope to go ahead in this domain.

Depression is a most common severe mental disturbance health disorder causing high societal costs. In clinical practice rating for depression depends almost on self questionnaires and clinical patient history report opinion. In recent years, the awareness has generated for automatic detection of depression from the speech signal. Some queries are raised that which features are more responsible for depression from speech and which classifiers gives good results. By identifying proper features from speech signal system even one can save the life of a patient. In this paper, a survey of speech signal features which relates for depression analysis is presented. Specially focused on adolescence speech. After surveying it is hypothesized that many speech features are there which are responsible for depression like linear features Prosodic, cepstral, spectral and glottal features and non-linear feature Teager energy operator (TEO). Some classification methods for depression analysis from previous studies are summarized.
