The new method of purification of the industrial waste waters
Abstract: The main problem in the all existing electrofloatation methods of cleaning is the increase of the alkalization space near the cathode that leads to formation of the salts sediments on the cathode as a result of passing of the electric current through the water environment. The salts so tightly cover cathode’s surface that can cause the total curtailment of the process of electrofloatation. This can be explained by the fact …

Implementation of Close Range Photogrammetry to Evaluate Distresses at Asphalt Pavement Surface
Abstract: Roadway pavements surface deteriorate with time because of traffic loading, environment conditions, and poor pavement maintenance management. The aim of this research is to implement close range photogrammetry technique for evaluation of the pavement surface distresses. The assessment was based on comparison with the traditional visual inspection method and validation of its equivalency with visual evaluation. The asphalt concrete pavement surface distresses such as (cracking type and crack width, patching …

Appraising Residential Satisfaction Indicators in Emerging Cities of India (Case: Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh)
Abstract: The paper comprises of residential satisfaction parameters. The issue is subjective, as residential satisfaction alters with person to person and surroundings. For convenience we chose cities which were on verge of transformation into metropolitan cities. Research says, residential satisfaction is directly related to housing quality levels i.e. qualitative and quantitative both ways. Quantitatively, residential satisfaction is associated with the cost of living, location, social networks, public transport, and familiarity with …

A Study on CNN-Based Image Mosaicing
Abstract: The intricate tapestry of image mosaicing, while a cornerstone of computer vision, has long been constrained by the rigidity of classical, geometry-driven pipelines. Hand-crafted feature detectors and homography estimators, while effective in controlled environments, prove brittle when confronted with the challenges of real-world scenes: significant parallax, dynamic moving objects, repetitive textures, and illumination variance. This work introduces a fundamental paradigm shift, proposing a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture designed …
