 Abstract

Nowadays there is an ever increasing strain regarding the provision of clean, consumable water. This particular project aims to detect and display real-time physicochemical quality of the water in a much more cost effective manner, as opposed to the current methods which involve sampling and laboratory methods, through its wireless, multi-sensor network. It takes into consideration multiple factors and presents this real-time quality through the display of its electrical conductivity, pH, total dissolved solids TDS, turbidity, as well as temperature of water that is being tested. Additionally, this remote control system is specially designed for lakes, reservoirs, rivers etc. where we cannot monitor water quality in such complicated scale water environments by just using a stationary system because water parameters vary at every single location. To avoid this, we manufactured a boat which can float and move on the water simply by user controller. This structure is designed as a hull shape which minimizes the resistivity of water flow and this shape also maintains the stability of water. This water quality monitoring boat includes an embedded global positioning system GPS which gives the location of the point wherever water quality is varying and radio frequency module for wireless communication. All the results are generated and displayed with their readings and their graphical analogue meters through the graphical user interface GUI technique, along with water's impurities limitation points and its hazardous level notification. It is proven through various tests conducted in reservoirs, lakes and personal water storage tanks that this project is successfully capable of demonstrating these physicochemical parameters as well as displaying these.

 Abstract

Digital filters are systems that work with quantized, sampled input signals (digital signals) to accomplish filtering goals such as passing or rejecting specific bands of frequencies from the input signal bandwidth or allowing certain frequency ranges to pass at either a high or low frequency. An essential component of digital signal processing is the use of digital filters. Finite impulse response and infinite impulse response are the two types of digital filters that are employed. Among the design methods for the FIR filter are the windowing method and the distributed arithmetic algorithm. Vanshika Jain Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering ABES Engineering College Ghaziabad, India jainvanshika0708@gmail.com Analog filter- Any filter that operates on continuous-time signals to remove noise, allow certain frequency ranges to pass through or block them, or achieve other filtering objectives is called an analog filter. Digital Filter- A digital filter is a kind of filter that uses a digital input signal to perform filtering operations and produces a digital output signal. This approach employs various window functions like rectangular, triangular, hamming, hanning, and Kaiser Window to truncate the infinite impulse response (e.g., Sink signal) and obtain a finite impulse response. Distributed Arithmetic reduces the need for multiply-and accumulate (MAC) blocks. It employs a pipeline structure and a divided Look-Up-Table (LUT) method to enhance system speed and decrease memory requirements. The Distributed Arithmetic structure stores MAC values in LUTs, enabling the retrieval of values based on input data. This approach conserves hardware resources by replacing MAC units with LUTs, offering a more efficient implementation of FIR filters with significant resource savings.

 Abstract

This paper attempts to make an analysis on how women are depicted on Assamese folktales Burhi Aai Sadhu with reference to the Assamese tales like 'Tula Teja', 'Champawati', 'Silonir Jiyek' (The Kite's Daughter) and Tejimola. It aims to examine the concept of lagi(beloved) and alagi(not favourite) which is a result of male gaze. It also makes an analysis the concept of Aai(mother) and Mahi Aai(stepmother). Female objectification can be seen in 'Silonir Jiyek(The Kite's Daughter) where the Saudagar pleased by Tora's beauty decides to marry her after having seven wives already. This gives birth to a woman's hatred towards another woman that can be her husband's wife or her stepdaughter. This paper will also analyze how women suffer both physically and emotionally. It will also show women turning out to be their worst enemies in the midst of patriarchy. Tejimola is a clear indication of this hatred in a woman towards her stepdaughter. It can be observed that in Assamese folktales gender conflict is rare and instead it can be noticed that women themselves become rivalries.

 Abstract

This paper presents a designed sewage treatment plant (STP) for Alard College of Engineering and Management, located in Marunje, Pune. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the college's environmental stewardship and sustainability practices. The proposed STP is specially tailored to reduce the generation of wastewater, convert waste into useful manure, and recycle treated water for horticultural purposes, aligning with the college's green initiatives. The necessity for such a system is underscored by the significant number of users on campus--currently 6,820--with projections indicating an increase in both population and infrastructural capacity. Currently, the campus maintains a total water storage capacity of 82,000 liters, which is anticipated to expand by an additional 30,000 liters in the near future. This expansion, coupled with increasing daily water usage, accentuates the critical need for effective water management solutions that ensure sustainability and minimize environmental impact .Extensive testing of the STP design has been conducted to ensure it meets the specific needs of the college. These tests take into account not only the current and projected usage patterns but also the potential impacts of climate change, ensuring the system's resilience and adaptability. Results from these tests have been meticulously recorded and analyzed, with graphical representations used to illustrate how the STP will perform under different environmental conditions. This holistic approach to wastewater management does not solely focus on technical and functional aspects; it also emphasizes the college's dedication to embedding sustainability and innovation within its operational practices. By integrating the STP into the campus infrastructure, Alard College not only aims to significantly reduce its environmental footprint but also sets a benchmark for other institutions in terms of sustainable campus management and responsible water use. This initiative exemplifies how environmental challenges can be turned into opportunities for innovation and leadership in sustainability
