 Abstract: This paper represents fixed body biased CMOS Tapered Buffer which is designed to minimize the PDP (Power Delay Product) of the circuit. CMOS Tapered Buffers are often used for driving large capacitive load at high speed. Since there are tradeoffs between performance parameters of Buffer for minimizing its PDP value and due to technology constraints on the threshold voltage of MOS; one can vary the Vth up to certain limit while keeping the VDD constant. The proposed work is helpful in designing power efficient CMOS Tapered Buffer. This is found that in proposed Buffer when Vth value for the first stage of inverter is taken between the range of (0.2VDD - 0.4 VDD), its performance gets improved in terms of power dissipation. This analysis is verified by simulating the 2-stage Tapered buffer using standard 180nm CMOS technology in Cadence environment. Analysis performed on the schematic shows that FBB (Fixed Body Bias) Tapered Buffer reduces the average power dissipation across capacitive load by 77 % and static power has been reduced to 18.3% at very less penalty in delay. Hence the proposed approach is suitable in the design of low power buffer for increasing the current capability of logic gate at optimal speed.

ABHISHEK SHARMA AND K.K. PATHAK  National Institute of Technical Teachers’ Training and Research, Bhopal (M.P.), India Email: abhishek08887@gmail.com Abstract: Many project suffers time and cost overruns due to improper planning, scheduling and execution works that results in several issues like delay in providing facilities, development, reduction in quality of construction and making the project more expensive. A little consideration shows that the time required to complete the project is inversely proportional to the supply of manpower. As the manpower is increased, the completion time of the project is decreased and on the other hand if the manpower is decreased, the completion time of the project is increased. The present study deals with the manpower planning, scheduling and tracking of “Construction of a Residential Block at Mahadev Parisar, Bhopal”, a six storied (G+6) building project whose construction is in progress at Shivaji Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

SHEENA ANGRA, SACHIN AHUJA  Ph.D Scholar, Chitkara University, India Associate Director, CURIN, Chitkara University, India E-mail: sheena.angra@chitkara.edu.in, sachin.ahuja@chitkara.edu.in Abstract: Data mining offers a new advance to data analysis using techniques based on machine learning, together with the conventional methods collectively known as educational data mining (EDM). Educational Data Mining has turned up as an interesting and useful research area for finding methods to improve quality of education and to identify various patterns in educational settings. It is useful in extracting information of students, teachers, courses, administrators from educational institutes such as schools/ colleges/universities and helps to suggest interesting learning experiences to various stakeholders. This paper focuses on the applications of data mining in the field of education and implementation of three widely used data mining techniques using Rapid Miner on the data collecte

Application of Silica Fume and Nanosilica in Cement and Concrete – A Review

Sakshi Gupta  Assistant Professor, Civil Engineering Department, Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon, Haryana, India Email: ersakshigupta18@gmail.com Abstract: This paper reviews the recent developments and present state of the application of silica fume (micro-silica) and nano-silica for sustainable development of concrete industry. This would save not only the natural resources and energy but also protect the environment with the reduction of waste material. Limited work is done on use of nano-silica and microsilica in paste, mortar and concrete and whatever work is available is highly contradictory about their influence on mechanical strength development and durability properties. Various literatures have been reviewed to understand the influence of micro and nano-silica on fresh, hardened and microstructural properties of paste, cement mortar and concrete. Taking advantage of nanostructure and microstructure characterization tools and materials, the simultaneous and
