I. INTRODUCTION Sustainable chemistry is a philosophy of chemical research and engineering that encourages the design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. The synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and urea has currently attracted much attention from the angle of sustainable chemistry. The synthetic glycerol carbonate from glycerol and urea has several advantages [1-4]: (a) It utilizes and reduces the undesired CO2 emitted from various sources. (b) The by product glycerol produced during the manufacture of biodiesels is well utilized here. (c) The synthesis produces a value added organic product of glycerol carbonate which has many practical applications. (d) It replaces the current method for production of glycerol carbonate using highly toxic compound such as phosgene. The synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and Urea is one of indirect chemical transformations of CO2 into organic compounds as the urea can be produced from CO2 and ammonia. Scientists have investigated the direct and indirect utilization of CO2 as a feedstock which also includes chemical reactions with urea. Various types of base catalysts have been tested for the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and urea. This includes inorganic salts such as ZnSO4 and MgSO4 [4-7].These are effective homogeneous catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts may be more useful for post reaction procedures like easy recovery and reuse of catalysts when compared to homogeneous ones. One of the important glycerol conversions is synthesis of glycerol carbonate. Glycerol carbonate (4–hydroxymethyl–1,3–dioxolan–2–one) is one of the most promising chemical due to its ideal physico chemical properties such as high stability, low toxicity, good biodegradability, high boiling point and low in flammability. Glycerol carbonate has many applications as a solvent in cosmetics, medicine, an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the synthesis of polycarbonates, polyurethanes, glycerol–based polymers, surfactant, production of resins, plastics and pharmaceuticals [8-11].

Pellet samples of sodium-potassium tantalate (Na1-xKxTaO3) mixed system (for x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 1) compositions were prepared using solid state reaction method. Samples were prepared by pressing the calcined mixture at +0.2 MPa and sintered in a tube furnace opened at both ends. Prepared samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX) method. In the XRD patterns, shifting of most intense peaks, to lower angle was observed with increasing x value in the prepared compositions; except for x = 0.5, where a break in the peak shifting pattern was observed. Lattice parameters and crystallite size for different compositions were calculated from the XRD data. EDAX results show marked sodium escaping from the prepared samples. Frequency and x dependence of dielectric constant, loss tangent and dielectric conductivity have been studied in the frequency range from 0.01 MHz to 10 MHz, at room temperature. With increasing frequency dielectric constant and loss tangent were found decreasing, which indicate relaxational behaviour of this system. Dielectric constant was observed decreased for the compositions with x = 0.2 and 0.5 with respect to their nearby x, showing morphotropic phase transitions in these regions; however, loss tangent and dielectric conductivity were observed decreased only for x = 0.5 composition.

Vibration Based Breakdown Prediction for High Speed Centrifuge Systems

Vikram B Baliga, Mahesh Rao · May 2018 · pp. 130-135

To understand the health of rotating machineries one of the method used is vibration analysis. Perfectly balanced rotating machineries do not vibrate when running. They vibrate when they are not well-balanced. A breakdown may also occur when they are unbalanced. Hence vibration monitoring and gathering the data can give vital information on the health of the machine. Real-time monitoring of the vibration signal is required to prevent the machine from any kind of breakdown. This kind of analysis requires prior knowledge and data of the machine or the parts under consideration. This paper explains how breakdowns can be predicted using only the vibration data of a machine, whose structural data or parameters are not available. Proposed here is a complete system including hardware with a vibration sensor, to acquire data and a software that not only visualises the vibration in real time, but also can predict the crash and takes action like switching off the machine or alerting the user about it. Here, frequency analysis and simple time domain analysis of the vibration data of a recorded breakdown event is used to predict further breakdowns.

Psagent- A Machine Learning Approach to Real Estate

Vishwal Pejakkala Kakrannaya, Vivek Kumar, Sangmesh, Vishal Jaiswal, Sridevi G M · May 2018 · pp. 170-172

The need for a higher degree of accuracy with respect to real estate guidance provided by agents is constantly growing with the growth of the real estate industry. However, human real estate agents, when making suggestions related to buying or selling of property, may be subjected to bias or a decrease in accuracy resulting from limited computational potential. Several attempts have been made to replace human agents with computers for a higher degree of accuracy but such attempts fail to replace human agents completely in the sense that such attempts do not perform all tasks performed by real estate agents. We propose a system that behaves like a human real estate agent in that it attempts to perform every task a human agent performs with a higher degree of accuracy without any room for bias.

Prof. Shilpi Bhuniyan, Chetan Bhutada, Shreyas Gundecha, Viraj Agrawal · May 2018 · pp. 182-184

Slag is considered as one of the waste materials which can have a promising future in construction industry as partial or full substitute of conventional sand. For each ton of steel production, about 2.2 tonnes of slag is generated. In this paper, Slag is used as a partial replacement to fine aggregate with 30,40 and 50% respectively. Cubes and Cylinders were casted and compressive and tensile testing were noted after 7 and 28 days testing. The Cylinders casted has more tensile strength such that it has wide application in RCC work as steel requirement will be less due to good strength of slag sand used in cement. For this project, Steel Slag was used whish was available from Kalika Steel, Jalna, Maharashtra. This Project was successfully completed under the guidance of CSK RMC Plant, PUNE.

High Resolution Rebuilding of Image Gradient Profile Sharpness

Satish V. Reve, Prof. Zuber Farooqui · May 2018 · pp. 185-187

Single Image HIGH resolution is an lively and classic image processing problem, which aims to reconstruct a high resolution (HR) single image from a low resolution input image. Due to the several use of profile dictionary under-determined nature of this type of problem, an successful image prior is necessary to make the problem solvable, and to improve the quality of reconstruct super resolute image. In this paper image super resolution algorithm is proposed based on gradient profile sharpness. Gradient Profile Sharpness is an edge sharpness matrix which is extracted from two gradient description models, i.e. a Gaussian mixture model for the description of different kind of gradient profile. The proposed approach will generate superior HR image with better visual quality, lower reconstruction error than the input image. To improve the HR image pixel quality, we will be use some TOOLS. And compare the PSNR values to the input image.

Suryanarayana Raju Sivangi, Sreerama Murthy Chalumuri · May 2018 · pp. 188-200

Radio isotopes are having significant importance in various fields which includes several life processes. Sustainable maintain of nutrient supply to the plants is so vital in growth of the plant kingdom. Several methods are under practice for the supplement of nutrients and the corresponding activity during crop maintaining period. Traditional methods of studying nutrient uptake and absorption by agricultural plants and their translocation in various parts of the plant and root system at different soil depths, were replaced by the sophisticated method of application of radio isotopes by which the activity at any subsequent process or location can be identified and determined. The mechanism of foliar application of the tagged (ratio active) nutrients involve by spraying the same on the leaves, stems, fruits and its translocation to different plant parts will be traced by the path way of the nutrients to various plant parts. The rates of absorption and transport of nutrients in sprays and their contribution in plant metabolism are well discussed.

Collaborative Computing: Application to Information Services

Subrata Bose · May 2018 · pp. 208-217

Collaborative computing has set a new technology trend in recent years. It involves a large number of entities and shared resources, which are distributed, dynamic and heterogeneous. The range of collaborative computing is wide and expanding. Through collaboration number of services can be offered such as hospitality, tour and travel, health care etc. to name a few. In this work we have proposed a multi-party collaborative information retrieval service (CIRS). CIRS supports a long-range of queries involving text and multimedia data. The idea of CIRS is extended to a more generalized information service called collaborative information service (CIS). In CIS the collaborators share their data for serving complex and critical information need of organization or individuals. CIS provides consolidated information to the user collecting data from different data owners. In addition, different data owners are allowed to access as well as update other data owners’ data in a collaborative scenario such as online stores like Amazon and Flipkart who connect different manufactures, vendors, transporter, and courier services etc. We have classified CIS in three different categories - basic, application and business. CIS can be considered to model any collaborative computing system where different partners collaborate for any joint activity by exchanging information among them.

Swati N. Wankhede, Girish K.Mahajan and Ajit P.Chaudhari · May 2018 · pp. 218-221

This paper presents operation and control for improving the efficiency and size of a photovoltaic generation system using a current-source inverter. This system is directly connected utility grid to a solar cell without using a boosting converter. In proposed grid connected PV system the single phase CSI converter used with a double tuned resonant filter circuit. The system uses transformer-less single-stage transformation for tracking the most extreme power point and interfacing the photovoltaic array to the grid. The greatest power point is kept up with a fuzzy logic controller. A proportional-resonant controller is used to control the current injected into the grid. A modified carrier based modulation technique for the current source inverter is proposed to magnetize the dc-link inductor by shorting one of the bridge converter legs after every active switching cycle.

Identification of the Perception of Micro Inequity and Its’ Relationship with Employee Commitment by Employed Women in the IT Sector of Kolkata

Sonia Siddhanta, Dr Rita Basu · May 2018 · pp. 222-229

It has been found that employees have experienced an uncomfortable feeling of being marginalized, that is an unmistakable feeling of being devalued, may be because they were not acknowledged or were subjected to a hallway joke. This is an example of micro behavior, a workplace phenomenon that has attracted the interest of many organizations seeking to improve employee engagement and performance. Micro behavior consists of micro messages, those small, semi-conscious messages people send and receive during interaction. It becomes micro inequities when subtle, semi-conscious devaluing messages directed at a particular person and happens repeatedly. As a result, micro inequities discourage and impair performance which leads to damaged self-esteem and withdrawal and loss of productivity and most importantly it affects the commitment towards one’s workplace. Micro inequities based on gender - prejudicial slights, are quite common in most of the organizations. It has seen from literature survey that various studies have been conducted on micro inequity and in all of them an overview of micro inequity has been provided. organizational commitment is the individual's psychological attachment to the organization, where the employee experiences a 'sense of oneness' with their organization This study aims at focusing on the Indian perspective of micro inequity, to identify the perception of micro inequity by employed women in their organization and its’ relationship with employee commitment. It is designed to collect primary data through structured close ended questionnaire survey among the randomly selected women employees from IT sector in Kolkata. The Results of this study show that the levels of discrimination were indeed related to gender and organizational commitment outcomes.

Smart navigation tool is a better alternative that one can develop a system which will automatically sense such traffic signs automatically and accordingly inform the drives and also assist him in controlling the vehicle voluntarily or forcibly. All in all resulting in a very effective and fail proof system to provide traffic regulation, safety and convenience of the people. The data is transmitted through an RF. The basic purpose of this system is to provide a means to control vehicle and guide the vehicle by sending alert messages to the vehicle continuously when vehicle enters school zones or hospital zone. Nowadays, it is hard enough to identify traffic zones where they are and what speed to maintain. This become easy by smart navigation tool and it continuously monitor surrounding environment by RF sensors and it guide, control the vehicle as per the limits of the zone. For anticollision, we make use of IR sensors to indicate the obstacle and stop the vehicle based on distance of the obstacle.

Sandeep Kudtarkar · May 2018 · pp. 236-244

India is world’s second largest producer of cement. Its installed capacity as on December 2015 was 390 MTPA. Approximately 5% of total global man-made CO2 emissions are caused due to cement production. As the demand for cement is forecasted to continue increasing worldwide, particularly in emerging economy like India where housing and infrastructure is booming. In terms of environment sustainability, cement production requires water for cooling heavy machinery and exhaust gases, as cement plants are often located in remote areas; they draw water from community sources which can create potential conflict with the communities. The cement industry has a huge impact on the environment as compare to other industries due its high energy intensity leading to GHG emissions. As on today cement as binding material in construction activities has no substitution, it will instrumental in terms of urban development in future. Product innovation and operational efficiency measures leading to reduced resource consumption of water and energy and reducing GHG emissions are the best ways forward. Key factors for sustainability in cement industry are: energy and water consumption, material and resource management, reduction in GHG emissions and waste management. The viable solutions are green power generation, reducing reliance on depleting fossil fuels and using alternative fuels and raw materials, Enabling water conservation, Energy efficiency, transparent CSR reporting, Membership of global sustainability initiative such as Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI), Environment Biodiversity protection, Negating impact of GHG emissions and setting Targets of sustainability for future. Indian cement industry is most energy efficient in the world .Some cement companies have demonstrated that by replacing water cooled condenser by Air cooled Condensers, water can be conserved. Cement companies have started publishing their sustainability reports based on GRI G4 guidelines. The transparency in CSR reporting in cement industry is increasing. CDM projects of cement companies registered in India resulted in annual Co2 emission reduction of 21 lac tones. The cement industry needs an environment that incentivises companies to adapt mature sustainability strategies and facilitate transition of cement companies towards becoming architects of sustainable business solutions, such as fiscal incentives for investment in low carbon technologies and products, amending policies for trans-boundary movement of industrial waste etc. This study aims to do critical evaluation of Indian cement industry using action research based methodology in context of environmental sustainability aspect as part of their corporate strategy and CSR commitments.
