Ashima Mehta, S. N. Panda  Research Scholar, Chitkara University, Punjab, India Director Research, CURIN, Chitkara University Punjab, India Abstract: Cloud computing is the concern of computer hardware and software resources above the internet so that anyone who is connected to the internet can access it as a service or provision in a seamless way. As we are moving more and more towards the application of this newly emerging technology, it is essential to study, evaluate and analyze the performance, security and other related problems that might be encountered in cloud computing. Since, it is not a practicable way to directly examine the behavior of cloud on such problems using the real hardware and software resources due to its high costs, modeling and simulation has become an essential tool to withstand with these issues. In this paper, we retrospect, analyse and compare features of the existing cloud computing simulators and various location based authentication and simul...

BARKHA PANDEY, RAGHU HARSH KALIA, MONICA KAUSHIK, MONIKA ARORA Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Amity University, UP, India. Email: barkhapandey256@gmail.com Abstract: In a last few decades there has been tremendous growth and a drastic rise in wireless communication technologies. The major issue that the world is facing today with the advent of so many sophisticated wireless communication devices is efficient utilization of the spectrum. Spectrum efficiency comes together with a tradeoff factor of energy consumption. Thus, the need of the hour is an energy and bandwidth efficient technique. DS-CDMA is one of the competitive and most investigated technique in wireless communication which caters the large demand at the same time with limited bandwidth. Existing modulation techniques does not promise to provide better performance in case of higher noise. Therefore, one looks for a better BER stipulated modulation format to improve and enhance the performan...

SANDEEP CHOWDHRY, CELINE GARNIER  Lecturer, School of Engineering, Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland, U.K Lecturer, School of Engineering, Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland, U.K. Email: s.chowdhry@napier.ac.uk, c.garnier@napier.ac.uk Abstract: This study aims at finding out whether an alternate assessment strategy in Sustainable Developments module to improve the student’s employability skills and qualities. The exploratory studies, quantitative and qualitative questions acted as a data gathering instruments. The findings showed a need to change the current assessment strategy for Sustainable Developments module, proposed a new assessment approach and evaluated it. The research infers the studied institution should encourage academic staff to get familiar with the effective learning strategies, students learning styles and how to assess an assessment plan with graduate attributes model. A suggested direction for further research is to create an assessment model b...

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 coll...

SHALAKA DHOKANE, K. K. PATHAK PG Student, Dept. of Civil and Env. Engineering, NITTTR Bhopal, INDIA 462002 Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering, IIT(BHU) Varanasi, INDIA 221005 E-mail: shalakadhokne07@gmail.com, kkpathak.civ@itbhu.ac.in Abstract: A soft storey or a weak storey is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70 percent of that in the storey above or it can be less than 80 percent of the average lateral stiffness of the three stories above. For the reduction of lateral deflection of a structure, a bracing system is provided. In seismic design of structure and in high rise structure, the provision of bracing system has become more effective. So this paper aims to find out the effect of bracing on soft storey of steel building. In this paper, G+9 steel frames are modeled with different type of bracing pattern and different combination of soft story using software STAAD Pro. Effect of these different bracings on soft storey is studied for different parameter li...

SANDEEP CHOWDHRY  Lecturer, School of Engineering, Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland, U.K Abstract: The transition from the teacher-centric learning environment to the problem-based learning (PBL) environment may not be smooth due to students’ expectations of getting direct support from the teacher. However, a teacher also tries to teach students the skills to be an independent learner. The aim of this study is to improve the students learning experience in the PBL environment by improving the e-tivity (online activity) design in a blended online teaching module in Mechanical Engineering (ME). A mixed research method approach helped to analyse the students’ learning experience in the module. The result shows that the present design of the e-tivities does not provide students with opportunities to study effectively in the PBL environment online, and proposed an improved design of the e-tivities. It implies the need to create e-tivities by taking into consideration the stud...

ARCHISMAN DAS AND URMEE CHAWDHURY  Graduate, Department of Architecture, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology Email: arch.archi008@gmail.com Abstract: Rapid urbanization is a currently a challenging problem for any developing country. To keep pace with the current population growth and ongoing economic development the cities are need to be expanded. But for a developing country, the territorial expansion of any city would be difficult for reducing the load, because of its economic and structural limitations. So for utilizing its limited resources fully, urban renewable strategy is preferable for every developing country. Renewable strategies increase the efficiency of the whole area & bolster economic force. Agrabad Commercial Area, CBD is the main business area in CHITTAGONG. In this study Commercial Business District (CBD) of Chittagong is taken as a case ...
