Securing CFA Images through the Simultaneous Hybrid Encryption-Watermarking Method Using Quaternions
Abstract: In order to protect digital data against unauthorized copying, falsification and redistribution over the internet, we proposed a new hybrid method of simultaneous encryption-watermarking of CFA (Color Filter Array) images. The CFA images are important for image analysis because these raw images have not undergone any process (interpolation, demosaicking, etc.) that might alter their reliability. This article presents a study of a new technique for the secure transfer of CFA …

Computer Programming Tool for the Design of Concrete Mixes for Pavement Quality Concrete Roads in India
Abstract: Basically concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water. These constituents bonds together and hardens with time and give strength to structure. The proportioning of concrete mixes consists of determining relative quantities of materials to be used. Thus to calculate proportions of various components of concrete several mix calculations are required to be performed. Consequently, it is not possible to select at once the exact mix proportion required …

Analysis of Groundwater Quality Parameters of Part of Nanded City, Maharashtra State (India)
Abstract: In Nanded township, generally the water is drawn from the shallow aquifers. As the soil thickness is more and because of its permeable and porous nature, the effluent water percolates into the ground and contaminates the groundwater. In this assessment, the physicochemical parameters like pH, calcium, chloride, alkalinity, total hardness, and salinity are determined by following the standard procedures given by Trivedi and Goel (1986). The sources of these contaminants …
