The performance parameters developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA) are used to analyse the performances of solar power plants. The results show that the plane of array irradiance at the sites is identical with an annual average of 6.2 kWh/m2/d. The annual average performance ratio and final yield of solar power plants are respectively 74.3 %; 4.61 kWh/kWp to Ten Merina and 75.9 %; 4.66 kWh/kWp to Senergy. These results are compared to other solar power plants installed in different locations around the world.

DATA EXTRACTION FROM PASSWORD PROTECTED MOBILE PHONE BY USING CHIP-OFF METHOD –A FORENSIC CASE STUDY

The current digital era is full of digital devices and to ensure the safety of their data, users utilize the protective armor of passwords using the fingerprints lock, face lock, pin codes and password locks. The trial-and-error method possesses an infinite possibility of passwords in patterns/ pin locks for unlocking the devices. The levels of security ensure that only a limited number of trials are possible before any device blocks itself or makes unlocking harder. In these circumstances, especially when a victim is a deceased person (e. g. an abetment in suicide case), the password is practically impossible to attain through the authorities. However, the data can be retrieved with the unique and distinctive method of Chip-off analysis. In this study, a password protected mobile phone was retrieved from a deceased individual and only the analysis of his/her mobile could lead to investigative insights for catching the perpetrator. The Chip-off method has several difficulties and a password/ pin protected device increases the difficulties for analysis several folds. This study highlights the significance of chip-off analysis in achieving accurate importing and extraction of maximum data along with the use of the hardware/software, MSAB, XRY and other software.

CAUSES OF DELAY AND SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT IN INDIA.

These days delay in development are the most significant issue in construction industry in India. It is second biggest industry after agriculture in India for the improvement of an economy. Delay in development projects is considered one of the most common issues causing a large number of negative impacts on the development projects. Construction delays can be minimized just when their cause are distinguished. The goal of this investigation was to identify the major reasons for construction delays. It is consistently helpful that a Project complete on time effectively. Unfortunately because of different reasons, enormous number of development projects fails to follow the arranged schedule and hence delayed in project. This paper presents the reasons for delay occurring on a progressing bridge construction project a case study.

DETERMINING VERTICAL WIND SPEED PROFILE IN THE ATMOSPHERIC LIMIT LAYER ON THE OUAHIGOUYA SITE IN BURKINA FASO.

The properties of the vertical profile of the wind speed on a monthly and annual scale at the Ouahigouya site belonging to the Sahelian climatic zone in Burkina Faso were explored in this study. To do this, wind speed and temperature data at 10 m above ground and NASA satellite data at an altitude of 50 m in the atmospheric boundary layer were used over a period of ten years. From the theory of Monin-Obukhov, the logarithmic law and the power law made it possible to develop the variation of wind speed with altitude taking into account the conditions of atmospheric stability. According to statistical performance indicators, it has been observed that the vertical profile of the wind speed adjusted according to the power law and the log-linear law corresponds to the measurements. Regarding the state of stability of the atmosphere, we note that it is generally unstable from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and stable during other times of the day. The annual average wind shear coefficients during the convective and night time diurnal cycle are evaluated at 0.67 and 0.7, respectively. From the power law, the values of the shear coefficients, the average vertical profile on a monthly and annual scale of the wind was obtained by extrapolation of the wind data measured at 10 m from the ground. This study is the first of its kind in this area. To assess the wind resource available on the Ouahigouya site, investors can directly use the vertical wind profile based on the power law for an altitude between 10 and 50 m.

MINIMUM LAP TIME CALCULATION USING MATLAB

Formula Student car, to participate in different Formula Student events. Though the car was designed and all designed systems and components were validated using Static Simulation, but it was not known how would car perform on the actual track. By using different dynamic simulation methods and MATLAB programming, team has tried to understand the vehicle behaviour on track. One of the methods used by the team was, to calculate the limiting velocity for each curve on the track and to calculate the time required by the car to complete one Endurance lap of Formula Bharat 2020. This was achieved by making a mathematical model and using concepts of vehicle Dynamics. In the study different cases of the track are also discussed and how does the car behave at different portion of the track is clearly explained in the study. This helps the driver to handle the car properly. As with this information driver would be able to know how his car would behave at different corners of the track.

DOES INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION AFFECT TO EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION IN TRAINING?

In this study, the researcher intends to examine which factors most influence employee interest in participating in the training process provided, by taking the research focus on employees who work in banking companies. The location of banking is the object of research because banking institutions are also profit organizations that are quite intense in conducting regular training for their employees, both new employees and old employees who want to proceed to get a promotion. This study involved 72 respondents. The results of the study concluded that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation either partially or simultaneously had an effect on employee interest in attending training.

LUT & ATIM STUDY IN IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

For real-time inspection of color, the LUT approach is the best of the techniques considered. In computer science, a lookup table is an array that replaces runtime computation with a simpler array indexing operation. The savings in terms of processing time can be significant, since retrieving a value from memory is often faster than undergoing an expensive computation or input & output operation. The tables may be precalculated and stored in static program storage, as part of a program's initialization phase, or even stored in hardware in application-specific platforms. Lookup tables are also used extensively to validate input values by matching against a list of valid items in an array and, in some programming languages, may include pointer functions to process the matching input. The disadvantage of the LUT approach is the large memory size. The memory size has been reduced significantly by applying a multitude of ROM compression methods.
