The aim of our study was to undertake Green synthesis of Iron nanoparticles/magnetite (Fe3O4) from a marine algae namely Chaetomorpha antennina. Two types of Iron Nps were synthesized and characterized-bare FeNp and citrate coated FeNp. Further the uptake mechanism of green synthesised Iron Nps were evaluated on Pennisetum glaucum (Pearl millet). An overall increase in the plant growth was observed. It was also observed that with increasing concentrations of FeNps (Fe3O4), the seedlings showed a concomitant increase in chlorophyll as well as soluble sugar content, suggesting that the iron uptaken by the plants is used up for producing photoassimilates. The iron content in the plants shoots and roots were estimated, which further confirmed that the plants readily uptook FeNp. Histochemical assays (undertaken in the roots as well as the shoots sections) involved looking at localization study of Iron, starch, lignin and suberization. Throughout the experiment no toxic effect was observed in the plants. This confirms the potential of FeNp to be used as an eco-friendly fertilizer. Hence we would like to conclude with the present study that FeNp could be potentially used as a nano-fertilizer hence paving the way towards “plant nanonutriomics”. Solutions such as this could effectively solve the present agricultural issues, especially pertaining to iron deficiency in the human population and its amelioration. It would definitely prove to be a worthy challenge to Genetically Modified food.","PeriodicalId":237016,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy ( TAP Energy)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122764282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) is designed to maintain the desired welding current during the occurrence of electrode wire short circuiting and melting during the joining process. The proposed adaptive control method is compared with that of the conventional PID controller for the performance analysis. The simulation results indicate that the designed MRAC for CMT process successfully maintained the welding current at the set point when subjected to short circuit and arcing phases whereas the conventional PID controller is unable to retrieve the welding current at set point. The experimental validation using the designed MRAC is carried out in the CMT welding set up. The experimental results agree with the simulation results and emphasizes that the MRAC improves the welding performance by yielding good weld joints at requisite time and quality.","PeriodicalId":237016,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy ( TAP Energy)","volume":"237 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127048701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve good error correcting performance with lower complexity, an improved normalized min-sum algorithm with row-merge scheme is adopted. By exploring the properties of the layered decoding scheme, an enhanced QC-LDPC code with overlapped matrix is employed to offer adequate flexibility for parallel degree optimization and convergence speed. This in turn reduces the linear encoding complexity and data correlation problems during the multi-rate operations of the proposed decoder. Furthermore, to avoid memory access conflicts without increasing the hardware resources, eDRAM is utilized. By utilizing eDRAM, the overall memory bandwidth requisite is reduced considerably along with the inter-connect complexity and hardware overhead. This overall multi-rate decoder is designed and implemented using TSMC 65nm GP CMOS Technology to support all the code rates of IEEE 802.16e applications. From the implementation results it is observed that the designed multi-rate decoder attains improved throughput-to-area ratio (TAR) with less power consumption when analysed with other multi-rate decoders.","PeriodicalId":237016,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy ( TAP Energy)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121715905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In RFID enabled objects, an electronic chip called RFID tag is attached. These tags are used by the owners to authenticate authorised users when they enter in the proximity of an RFID reader. RFID tag emits its EPC (Electronic Product Code) in plaintext form. So it is vulnerable. RFID tags are low cost devices with very less memory and processing capability. So it is not possible to secure RFID system using basic cryptographic algorithms. From 2006 onwards lots of UMAPs are proposed. Each protocol have its own pros and cons. It is imperative to design an UMAP which deals with low-cost devices and efficient in terms of tag constraints. The UMAPs must be resistant to various attacks like replay attack, traceability attack, desyncronisation attack, etc. In this paper, we are comparing the pros and cons of existing UMAPs and based on the study we are proposing a new ultra lightweight RFID protocol using Permutation with Double Rotation, which is based on the use of a new bit-wise permutation operation. Along with this new operation, a temporary file is used t o prevent t he traceability attack. Security analysis of the proposed protocol shows that it achieves the capabilities and requirements of the authentication protocol and is resistant to the attacks. Performance evaluation shows that the proposed protocol uses limited resources on tags in terms of storage, computation capability and number of messages used.","PeriodicalId":237016,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy ( TAP Energy)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124102742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
