Adaptive Huffman Algorithm for Data Compression Using Text Clustering and Multiple Character Modification
Abstract: Adaptive Huffman algorithm is a popular data compression technique that creates a variable-length binary code for each symbol in a message. However, the original algorithm may not be efficient in compressing text data, particularly when dealing with long sequences of repeated characters. In this study, we propose a novel approach to enhance the compression ratio of the Adaptive Huffman algorithm by utilizing text clustering and multiple character modification. The proposed …

Evaluating the Effect of the EGR Rate on the Performance and the Emission of VCR Engine Operating on Jatropha Biodiesel Blends
Abstract: AbstractThe modern diesel engines running on biodiesel employ many techniques to encounter strict exhaust emission norms. Among the many techniques suggested to mitigate the NOX emission from the compression ignition engine, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is being employed extensively. The EGR curtails the proportion of the oxygen in the mixture and lowers the flame temperature inside the cylinder. This research is intended to investigate the influence of the …

Application of Compressive Sensing for Sampling and Reconstruction of MRI Images
Abstract: In recent years, a new theory of compressive sensing has evolved which asserts that super resolved signals and images can be recovered with far fewer samples than that demanded by the Nyquist sampling theorem. It is required that the signal being sensed has a low information-rate meaning that it is sparse in original or some transform domain. Former approaches capture the complete signal and process it to extract the information. …

Comparative Study on Stabilization of Expansive Soil using Cement Kiln Dust and Ceramic Dust
Abstract: In India, expansive soils cover about 20% of total land area, these soils increase in volume (swell) during winter season and decrease in volume (shrink) during summer season. Due to this contradiction behaviour many civil engineering structures constructed on expansive soils get damaged severely, out of which pavement is the most because they are lightweight and extend over large areas. Stabilization of Expansive soil is of most importance, since to …
