Since, exploitation of radioactive materials was done on a large scale in the past few decades which resulted in production of tremendous amount of radioactive waste, radioactive waste management is a necessary step to deal with it. If not properly disposed, irradiation from radioactive waste will cause serious problems to humans and to the environment. While preparing this paper sincere effort was taken to give a succinct account of: (1) radioactive waste generation in different parts of the world. (2) Classification. (3) Processing. (4) Storage & (5) Treatment of radioactive waste.","PeriodicalId":270099,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Technologies for Sustainable Development (ICTSD)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116735186","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}

Because of its intuitiveness and its capability of helping the hearing impaired and speaking impaired. Hand gestures enable deaf people to communication during their daily lives rather than by speaking. A sign language is a language which, instead of using sound, uses visually transmitted gesture signs which simultaneously combine hand shapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms, lip-patterns, body movements and facial expressions to express the speaker's thoughts. in order to bridge this gap of sign to speech, Voice fOr the Mute (VOM) aims to develop a system that will take real time images and convert them to speech with text as an intermediate taking into considerations all the limitations observed by a 2D system we will be considering only fingering spelling in our system i.e. Take input in the form of finger-spelling of alphabetic signs and providing the resultant voice output. The system will be using a webcam for the input and processing of the signs will be done using Microsoft Visual Studio as an IDE and OpenCv modules. With this proposed system we aims to help the speech impaired community.","PeriodicalId":270099,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Technologies for Sustainable Development (ICTSD)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117069920","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 this study, the presence of speckle in SAR images is analysed using frequency domain techniques. SAR images consists of many features such as lines, edges, point targets, structural boundaries, homogeneous areas. In frequency domain analysis we observe these features occupy wide band of frequency spectra. In formulating the effective speckle reduction techniques, exact knowledge of noise like phenomenon on wide band of frequency spectra in SAR images is necessary.

The literature indicates that Indian companies are falling far behind in comparison to their international competitors in the area of competitiveness like timely delivery, consistency, reliability, innovation and quality. Adoption of quality management systems with ISO can help the organisations to improve competitiveness and performance. In this study data is collected from twenty six textile companies which are member of The Textile Association India (TAI), located in Solapur district, Maharashtra. The findings indicate that only ISO 9000 Quality Management System is widely adopted by the sample companies whereas the other model like Six Sigma is not given importance.","PeriodicalId":270099,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Technologies for Sustainable Development (ICTSD)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125687828","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 overcome this problem, we propose a system whereby the system can detect whether the current user is the authorized user, a substitute user or an intruder pretending to be a valid user. Therefore the system checks the identity of the user by their behaviour pattern using keystrokes dynamics to authenticate user. A number of samples of login and password attempts of each user is gathered and stored in a database. From the samples collected, keystroke patterns are derived called feature sets and signatures are formed for each user using Fuzzy Logic algorithms. Once signatures are formed, users are authenticated by comparing their typing pattern to the respective signatures formed. We study the performance of such a system based on features like False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR), thus evaluating the efficiency of the system.","PeriodicalId":270099,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Technologies for Sustainable Development (ICTSD)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129327741","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}
