Abstract: Numbers of vehicle on road increases with respect to income and population, Because of this the traffic increase, and traffic analysis and planning has became essential. Traffic planning acts as nervous system of city. Better the traffic planning, greater will be the city development as well as lesser will be the traffic problems. This paper examines the use of Indo HCM 2017 in operational estimation of capacity and level of service of roundabout using field entry flow and circulatory flow. This analysis can be empirical and analytical. The estimated entry capacity and field flows were found to be higher compare to HCM estimates. This analysis tries to estimate the entry capacity of a roundabout based on the traffic flow conditions on roundabout and driver’s behaviour depicted by the gaps being accepted or rejected while trying to enter circulating Flow. This also estimates the traffic flow in the measurements of vehicle per hour and PCU per hour. Observations says that entry Speed of the vehicle is lower when it enter in the roundabout, causing queues and it will directly increase fuel demand same environmental pollution, which can be a great loss to city.

Keywords: The estimation, circulatory flow, roundabout, Observations.etc.

Abstract: The increase in requirement and consumption of concrete led the researchers to search for alternatives in concrete that are economical , eco friendly , and contribute towards environment . The utilization of industrial and agricultural wastes in concrete has been a major step on waste reduction . Ceremic waste (CW) and Sugarcane Baggase Ash (SBA) can be effectively used in concrete as partial replacement of Aggregate and Cement respectively . These materials can be used in concrete due to high quantity of silica and pozzolanic properties which plays an important role in concrete for achieving high strength and durability. In this paper, Ceramic waste are used as partial replacement of coarse aggregate at 0% , 10% , 20% , 30% by weight in M-20 grade of concrete and Sugarcane bagasse ash is used as partial replacement of cement at 10% because of high strength by weight in M -20 grade of concrete.Their Compressive strength , Tensile strength and Flexural strength are observed and compared after curing for 7 and 28 days to determine their effect on usage in concrete.

Keywords: Sugarcane bagasse ash , Ceremic tiles waste , Economic concrete , Waste management.

Abstract:  Paper aims at better communicating interface between normal person with deaf and dumb person. This model aims to use flex sensors for motion and gesture identification and give identified gesture information to the controller. Controller in turn gives that to text to speech converter to express the voice output representation of identified gesture. This way the ease of communication for the deaf and dumb person through the technology can be provided.

Keywords:  flex sensor, Electronic voice, LCD, voice recording.

Abstract: The issues that have arisen from the food industry is much more serious than realized at a surface-level. One of the main issues seems to stem from not knowing what to do with high volumes of wasted food. With products from the food industry being produced at high quantities and perishing in short period of time, food waste has began to take a major toll on the Earth’s environment. However, food in it of itself is a material consisting of complex chemical compounds, and thus the chemicals themselves can be observed, utilized, and even manipulated. It is within these ‘manipulations’ by which chemical engineering comes into aid. If one were to list the failures of the food industry, then the first and foremost failure is not having enough adequate chemical engineers. For food industries that have succeeded, studies show an integration of chemical engineering principles being implemented. This research will study the negative consequences and results of the food industry lacking in chemical engineers, as well as food industries from other countries, such as Europe, implementing chemical engineers with favorable outcomes.

Abstract: The dependency of the existing designs of evaporative coolers on electricity for operation is a severe limitation for their usage in Nigeria due to challenges associated with electricity provision. Consequently, devices that are either energy independent or raw energy dependent will provide a more reliable option. The present work is aimed at harnessing raw solar radiation for cooling. A range of designed and fabricated prototype evaporative coolers were employed for which analysis were conducted to study the effect of varying certain parameters against a controlled condition. Attempt was made to utilize the device such that a temperature drop low enough to effectively preserve perishables without employing external energy sources, pumps or converters was attained. The performance evaluation yielded a temperature drop of at least 6 °C from the ambient. Potentially, this device shall be suitable for the preservation of perishable edibles.

Keywords: Solar radiation, evaporative cooling, temperature drop, ambient temperature.

Abstract: Limitations in the ability of humans to vigilantly monitor video surveillance live footage led to the demand for artificial intelligence that could better serve the task. Humans watching a single video monitor for more than twenty minutes lose 95% of their ability to maintain attention sufficient to discern significant events. With two monitors this is cut in half again. Given that many facilities have dozens or even hundreds of cameras, the task is clearly beyond human ability. In general, the camera views of empty hallways, storage facilities, parking lots or structures are exceedingly boring and thus attention is quickly attenuated. When multiple cameras are monitored, typically employing a wall monitor or bank of monitors with split screen views and rotating every several seconds between one set of cameras and the next, the visual tedium is quickly overwhelming. While video surveillance cameras proliferated with great adoption by users ranging from car dealerships and shopping plazas to schools and businesses to highly secured facilities such as nuclear plants, it was recognized in hindsight that video surveillance by human officers (also called "operators") was impractical and ineffective. Extensive video surveillance systems were relegated to merely recording for possible forensic use to identify someone, after the fact of a theft, arson, attack or incident. Where wide angle camera views were employed, particularly for large outdoor areas, severe limitations were discovered even for this purpose due to insufficient resolution. In these cases it is impossible to identify the trespasser or perpetrator because their image is too tiny on the monitor.

Keywords: surveillance cameras, video monitor, camera views.

Abstract: This study examined the influence of lean operations on firm performance, considering some business characteristics controlled variables. A correlational design was employed, and a sample of 162 participants were drawn from a targeted research population of beverage manufacturing firms in Accra. Pearson’s correlation test and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to test hypotheses. The study found that lean operations had a positive effect on operational and financial performance but not marketing performance. None of the controlled variables or firm characteristics (i.e. firm size, firm age, operational capital, total asset) had a significant effect on firm performance. The study concluded that firm performance in terms of operational and financial performance improves as lean management enhances in practice. It was recommended that firms should invest more in lean management and train employees to more effectively handle its planning and execution.
