Auxilia Princy  Department of Computer Science, University of Madras, Chennai-25, India 1 Email: lavanmu@gmail.com Abstract:  Concept maps are a pictorial representation of concepts found in data and it shows relationship between concepts. These Concept map help us to understand the whole data content, makes it easily readable and memorable. They are used to deliver complex data in an understandable form (map, tree, graph, etc), which is used for a better understanding and decision making for researchers and business, etc. This paper discusses the recent researches about concept maps and data mining techniques, and graph reading algorithms used for concept map generation.

Hence economical alternatives of natural building materials are necessary for sustainable development. Hollow concrete block was developed to reduce the use of natural building materials. Agricultural waste products like coconut shells from coconut industry have disposal problems causing environmental concerns. Various studies were done in the past, replacing a portion of the natural aggregates with broken coconut shells for manufacturing the hollow concrete blocks. In this study, we have developed a new method of forming the holes of hollow concrete blocks by placing stacks of half portion of coc...

Deepshikha Aggarwal  Jagan Institute of Management Studies, Delhi, India Email: Deepshikha.aggarwal@jimsindia.org Abstract: In today’s world, the technology has been embedded in all aspects of human life. The education sector has been at the forefront of technology adoption. Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is a system of education that promotes the application of information and communication technology for teaching and learning and the concept of “bring your own device” (BYOD) supports this. BYOD is particularly beneficial for the education sector due to cost saving and comfort of using personal devices. Researchers believe that inclusion of technology must be supported by the user acceptance and the most popular framework to predict user acceptance of technology is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by Davis. The paper describes the study conducted for the purpose of predicting the acceptance and utilization of BYOD by the college students based on TAM variab...

Ankur Arun Kulkarni  Shri Rawatpura Sarkar University, Raipur (CG), India Email: ankurkulkarni@pmail.ntu.edu.sg Abstract: Extensive study is carried out to ascertain the effects of various construction practices on the bond strength between different layers of the pavement. In this study various construction practices refers to curing time of the pavement, various equipments used during construction of pavement, surface treatment provided. In this study a review is also carried out of the research work carried out by various researchers for estimating the bond strength between the existing old hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer and the new hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer overlaid. Also a review is taken in study regarding various experiments conducted by the researchers on the bond strength of different layers. Normally milling provides a good strength and good bond at the interface between the old layer and new layer overlaid on it. It is also observed that curing time has least effec...

Rahul Soni1 , Mihir Bhatt2  1,2 Chandubhai S. Patel Institute of Technology, Charusat University Email: 1 rahulsoni.ee@charusat.ac.in Abstract: This paper presents the experimental outcomes regard to the flashover performance of pin, shackle and disc insulators under contaminated conditions. For making contaminated surface various samples are made like salt, dust, industry pollution and miscellaneous foreign particles of wet and dry conditions as per IEC testing techniques. Moreover, each insulator has been tested under above mentioned conditions. For each insulator its breakdown voltages were measured. After doing performance analysis of different insulators under contaminated condition measurement of breakdown voltages are done with incorporation of real field application of insulators and making analogy with various regions of India.

Email: 1 ankitbansal.phdcivil16@pec.edu.in, 2 triptagoyal@pec.ac.in, 3 umesh1651@gmail.com Abstract:  A paradigm shift has been observed from ‘moving of vehicles’ to ‘moving of persons’ while planning for transportation facilities in cities. Provision of integrated and barrier free pedestrian facilities is essential to ensure inclusive mobility. Pedestrian facilities are a critical component in producing a pedestrian friendly environment. In India, the present facilities provided for the pedestrians are not efficient in general and crosswalks (zebra crossings) in particular. The pedestrian casualties in India have registered an increase of 11.7 percent in the year 2017, of which 31 percent have occurred on crosswalks. Therefore, an attempt has been made to overview the level of safety provided on the crosswalks. It has been found that majority...
