Abstract
Now days, there is highly demand of antenna with these characteristics (1) Compact size (2) Low profile and (3) Multiband or broad band. As well as it have to maintain antenna parameters (i.e. Gain, Efficiency, Return loss, Directivity etc.). In development of antenna design, the size reduction of antenna is becoming important consideration. Here we introduce the compact size as well as multiband antenna "The Fractal Antenna" which meet up with all ideal characteristics of an antenna (i.e. Directivity, Gain, Efficiency, Return loss, etc.) In this paper we introduce the types of fractal geometries, how it can be use to make an antenna and fractal geometries' iteration functions which reduce the size of an antenna by next to next iterations.

Abstract
Charged particles multiplicity distributions arising from p n and p n collisions have been
studied over the range of laboratory momenta from 50 to 400 GeV/c. The parton two fireball model (PTFM)
based on an overlapping function and impact parameter analysis is adopted. The parameters controlling
multiparticle production have been investigated and analyzed in the frame work of PTFM. Figures and
calculations are provided to demonstrate good agreement between the theoretical calculations and the
corresponding experimental data at different momenta.
Keywords –Charged pion production, Hadronic collision, Overlapping function, PTFM.

Abstract
In many industrial fields, such as aircraft industry, automotive or under pressure reservoirs… pieces
and organs ar subjected to different types of solicitations; thermic, mechanic or even cyclical load. This type of
cyclical loads causes a progressive degradation of material's characteristics, leading thereafter to a brutal
rupture; it is the fatigue phenomenon. The work presented in this paper is a contribution to the characterisation
of the fatigue dammage risks, and the evolution of cracking mechanisms under cyclical load of a S355 steel piece
used for under pressure reservoirs, having as crucial aim, the study of the stress intensity factor and giving a
contribution to the determination of the stress intensity alert factor, which usually precedes the sudden rupture
of a component, in order to estimate the life expectancy more precisly, based on a probabilistic method using the
Weibull distribution.
Keywords –Fatigue crack initiation, Weibull distribution, Life expectancy.

Abstract
Cost-effective production of environmentally safe aviation fuel by partially replacing diesel and
kerosene in jet fuel blends with biodiesel produced from microalgae is highly desirable. Biodiesel is a clean
burning, environmentally-friendly alternative fuel that could be produced from domestic resources like algae. Its
use as a jet fuel blend will reduce sulfur emission, particulate matters and will mitigate greenhouse gas
emission. It will also increase the security of energy supply and support the development of jobs and rural
communities. This project focuses on reducing energy requirements and fresh water usage in order to achieve
the lowest cost of algae bio-jet fuel blend production. Light Emitting Diodes as a light source for algae growth
have a major advantage of saving energy and resulted in producing higher biomass algae. Waste water and
reverse osmosis water were compared. RO water was more effective in algae growing. The effect of fluorescent
light intensity on the algae growth rate was studied. An approximate relation was developed in which the rate
algae growth is proportional to the square root of the light intensity.
Keywords –bio-jet fuel, Chlorella Vulgaris, LED algae growth, photosynthetic efficiency, carbon sequestration.

Abstract
Computerized tomography (CT) plays an important role in medical imaging, especially for diagnosis
and therapy. However, higher radiation dose from CT will result in increasing of radiation exposure in the
population. Therefore, the reduction of radiation from CT is an essential issue. Expectation maximization (EM)
is an iterative method used for CT image reconstruction that maximizes the likelihood function under Poisson
noise assumption.
Total variation regularization is a technique used frequently in image restoration to preserve edges,
given the assumption that most images are piecewise constant. Here, we propose a method combining
expectation maximization and total variation regularization, called EM+TV. This method can reconstruct a
better image using fewer views in the computed tomography setting, thus reducing the overall dose of radiation.
The numerical results in two and three dimensions show the efficiency of the proposed EM+TV method by
comparison with those obtained by filtered back projection (FBP) or by EM only.
Keywords –computerized tomography, image reconstruction, energy minimization, total variation, expectation
maximization, Poisson noise, compressive sensing, Radon transform.

Abstract
In Sports, vast amount and variety of data is generated at different stages. Sports are using this data
to derive valuable information to improve performance, avoid injuries, organizations, researchers, coaches,
players game planning, decision making and even for forecasting purpose. The Sports training/coaching
required to be systematic and scientifically formulated approach to excel in sports. The aim of systematic Sports
training is to produce best performance from a player. Performance of a player in competitive sports is joint
effect of physiological, medical, psychological parameters, motor fitness, training/ coaching etc. A common
training plan used during training may suite to some player in the group and improve their performance
whereas it decreases the performance of some other group of players in the same team. Researches in the sport
and physical education have proved that, intensity and type of training required to different players is different.
Therefore a personalized approach in training/coaching will affect the performance in sports. A computer based
coach assistant system is suggested and designed in this research.

Abstract
Cement concrete of all kind is one of the most consumed man made material on the earth and is of
second order after water utilization. As per the recent data it is of the order 16 billion tone annually. Due to
consumption of virgin material like cement the principal binder and precious natural material like stone
aggregate, river sand concrete industry is not sustainable. In addition the durability parameter due to aggressive
weather or exposure condition is also a challenging issue in this regards. Both this issue can be well address by
minimum use of cement and hence less emission of Co2 in ,less consumption of energy in production of cement
and optimum exploration of lime stone. Use of supplementary cementing material in form of industry byproduct
or waste can be one of the best solution for greening of the concrete and making concrete industry a sustainable
one.
This article deals with use of High Volume Fly Ash (HVFA) a waste from coal fired thermal power
plant as supplementary cementing material and 12mm triangular shaped polyester fibre as secondary
reinforcement to the conventional concrete. Article describes experimental investigations on mechanical
properties of fibre reinforced HVFA concrete through destructive and non destructive test methods.
Keywords –Compressive Strength, Fly ash, Fibre, Flexural Strength, Sustainability.
