Regulation of water supply in agricultural field using internet of things (IoT)

This paper is designed to develop an automatic water supply system in agriculture which automatically switches the pump motor ON/OFF by sensing the humidity content of the soil. In the farming field, use of a suitable method of irrigation is important. The advantage of using this method is to reduce human intervention and still ensure proper irrigation to increase the productivity and quality of the soil.it results in decreasing the use of pesticides in the agriculture field. In this, we are using an 8051 series microcontroller which is set to receive the input signal of changing moisture condition of the soil through the sensing procedure. Once the microcontroller receives this signal, it generates an output that drives a relay circuit for operating the water pump. If the moisture content is very low, then the motor is automatically driven to on state. A Wi-Fi modem is interfaced to the microcontroller to send the current status of the soil and water pump. These circuit connections are all connected to relay circuit to drive the motor. This concept is more improving by integrating IoT(internet of things) technology, such that whenever we want the water pump switches ON/OFF, the concerned person or the farmer using this system get to know the status about it through the web page by using IoT regarding the status of the pump.

An approach towards high-speed communication using LIFI technology – A review

Nowadays wireless technology is in the trends and it becomes important communication process. The main way to transmit the data is by electromagnetic waves i.e. radio waves. However, radio waves can support less bandwidth because of compact spectrum availability and intrusion. Solution to this is data transmission using Visible Light Communication (VLC). Solution to this is data transmission using Visible Light Communication. A new wireless technology was introduce called Li-Fi. The technology is very new and was proposed by the German physicist Harald Haas in 2011 TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Global Talk on Visible Light Communication (VLC). Li-Fi provides better bandwidth, efficiency, connectivity, and security than Wi-Fi and has already achieved high speeds larger than 1 Gbps under the laboratory conditions. In Li-Fi basically, we focus on transmitting multimedia data between two terminals using LED. It is a transmission of data through illumination. LED light bulb that varies in intensity faster than the human eye can follow. By leveraging the low-cost nature of LEDs and lighting units, there are lots of opportunities to exploit this medium.

An efficient interruption detection algorithm for security in wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor systems comprise of individual hubs that can associate with the environment by detecting or controlling physical parameters. These hubs need to team up to satisfy their undertakings. The hubs are interlinked together and by utilizing Wireless connections every hub can convey and team up with each other. In this paper, we center around security issues of WSNs; little overview on the primary difficulties of these systems, a wide assortment of WSNs' assaults and a correlation between them. Our proposed Detection technique detects the congestion and notifies Attacks to the sender before it occurs. Interruption detection (ID) algorithms must be made to work on this partial and localized information. The Data information correspondence to be performed in secure design. Additionally, this paper talks about known methodologies of security identification and defensive mechanism against the connection layer assaults; this would empower IT security chiefs to oversee assaults of WSNs all the more viably.

Parenting behavior among working parents of school children

A descriptive study was conducted to assess Parenting Behavior Among Working Parents of School Children at a selected area in Coimbatore. Using purposive sampling technique, 28 working parents of school children between 6 to 12 years were selected. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on parenting behavior. Findings revealed that, out of the 28 parents majority (64.29 %) of parents had an appropriate parenting behavior and 35.71 % of them had a moderately appropriate parenting behavior. None of the parents had inappropriate parenting behavior. Chi-square value was computed to find out the association between baseline variables of parents and their parenting behavior. Findings revealed that, there was a significant association between the age of mothers (χ2 = 14.02) and parenting behavior at p<0.05 level of significance. None of the other baseline variables had any association with the parenting behavior among parents of school children.

Applications of phase change material in sustainable built environment: A review

The brisk money related change far and wide and restrictive ways of life force a steadily expanding interest for vitality. As a prime customer of the world's material and vitality resources of building and development improvement, the industry has a high potential in becoming newly capable, environmentally and condition well-disposed materials to limit the vitality usages in structures. The Thermal Energy Storage System (TES) with Phase change material (PCM) offers an engaging strategy for improving the warm mass and the warm solace inside a building. PCMs are the Latent Heat Thermal Storage (LHTS) materials with high vitality stockpiling thickness stood out from standard sensible warmth stockpiling materials. An assortment of substances like water, warmth exchange, oils and certain inorganic liquid salts, and solids like rocks, stones, and headstrong are utilized as the PCM and furthermore the decision of the substances to be utilized as a part of a specific material to a great extent relies on the temperature level of the application. The material solid which joins PCM in it upgrades the thermal mass of the building which diminishes the space molding vitality utilization and incredible temperature varieties inside the building. The warmth limit and high thickness of solid, when joined with dormant warmth stockpiling of PCM, gives a novel vitality sparing ideas for the supportable manufactured condition. Microencapsulation is the most recent and impelled advancement for the fuse of PCM into strong (solid) which makes finely scattered PCMs with the high surface territory for more noticeable and more noteworthy measure of warmth trade. This paper reviews open composition on Phase change materials in strong and its application. There is a necessity for sweeping exploratory and logical examinations on PCM applications with cementitious materials as the most extensively utilized development materials in structures.

Effectiveness of central line bundle care upon the knowledge and compliance staff nurses in the ICU

Introduction Central venous access is one of the commonest procedures performed in acute care settings. The competence of staff nurses in caring for patients with Central Venous Catheters is an important determinant of quality patient outcomes and safety of patients in Intensive Care Units. Materials & Methods A pre-experimental study was done to assess the effectiveness of Central Line bundle Care upon Knowledge and Compliance regarding the Central Venous Catheter (CVC) among thirty Staff nurses from ICU’s of a selected Hospital were selected using Purposive sampling. The intervention was the education of nurses on Central Line bundle care by teaching and demonstration of Care. Tools included the self-administered structured questionnaire for knowledge regarding CVC and a Practice Checklist adapted from the JCIA based on bundle Care. Results Majority of the Nurses belonged to the age group of fewer than 25 years (76.66%, 70%) and had an experience less than 2 years (83.33%, 60%). Education of Nurses on bundle care was done using power point and demo for the nurses. The Comparison of Pretest knowledge scores (M=11.73, S.D=4.49) and Post-test knowledge scores (M=18.03, S.D=3.72) regarding the Care of CVC of nurses showed a significant improvement with t value of 5.82 at p<0.001.
