Profoundly, the academics are in transition phase from print to digital and electronic. The adaptability of digital contents is also being increased amongst the user communities. However, due to budget constraints, maximum academic institutions aren't able to subscribe all study materials for their users in the digital world. To overcome from this problem and to accelerate the maximum participation of the users, the concept of National Digital Library has been created by the Government of India which contains the materials for primary level to post graduate level students. However, every school, college, institution, and university has to register on the NDL platform so that the available resources may be used maximum. The present paper will try to elicit the basic information of NDL the project so that the students (from elementary to post graduate) may get familiar with this project and get themselves registered for the purpose.

The selection of illuminants will effect the colorimetric measurements in prints. Spectrophotometer can be use to measure colors in numerical values. Today the color measurements are carried out in CIE L* a* b* which is the most accurate color space as compared to other color spaces. Here three illuminants are selected for color measurements. They are D50, D65 and illuminant A. The black color variation is very less under the illuminants D50, D65 and illuminant A and not visible to the human eye at close observation. The cyan color is highly subjected to the color variation then magenta and yellow (Except under D50 and D65) respectively. The solid color patches shows the higher color variation under the different light sources and the certain tint patches are acceptable especially up to 30% tint patches.

MANETs are Mobile ad hoc networks which comprises of mobile nodes and the host node relies on each other in order to maintain the connectivity of the network. The MANETs are more prone to various issues such as lower data delivery rate, higher delay in data transmission and such issue could ruin the qualitative performance of the network. There is only a possible way to overcome these issues by developing an efficient route creation process. In this work, the author has developed a type-2 FIS based route creation process. The node selection for route creation is done on the basis of the bandwidth, mobility, energy and delay factors of the node. The type-2 FIS system is applied in two different steps one considers the bandwidth and delay as an input and other considers the energy and mobility as an input then the output of the both FIS is fused together to derive a decision regarding the node selection for route creation. The MATLAB platform is used as an simulation platform to implement the proposed work. The results assure that the packet delivery ration of the proposed work is quite higher along with the reduced packet delay ratio.

VANETs are vehicular ad hoc networks are specifically used to guarantee the road safety by facilitating the communication among road side units such as cars, scooters and vehicles, etc. In VANETs, data cannot be transmitted directly from one vehicle to another vehicle. In this case, a relay node is used to transmit the data. Thus, a vehicle has to select a nearer relay node to send data from one to another. Various authors has developed different mechanism for relay node selection. After having a review to the these traditional techniques, it is observed under this work that the traditional techniques suffers from issue of lowest packet delivery ratio. Thus this study introduces a novel approach for relay node selection in VANETs by using the Particle Swarm Optimization technique, The simulated results proves that the PDR, end-to-end delay and hop counts of proposed work is much efficient than the traditional FD, EPD and BDSC technique.

Color appearance model is a mathematical models to predict the image appearance in different lighting and viewing conditions in different media. The CIE colorimetry based on CIE Lab is applicable to the system where the white point is same or no more change. Different color appearance models are developed by considering the different factors such as simultaneous contrast, hue and colorfulness, brightness and lightness, saturation and chroma etc. Each model has their mathematical calculations and their prediction may vary from other models. CIE CAM02 is accepted in overall industry. The image color appearance models shortly known as iCAM is applicable to make the prediction of more complex stimuli in wide variety of color viewing conditions. Psychophysical experimental data is one of the best methods for evaluating the different appearance models. This paper reviews the applicability of different color models for matching the images for cross media color reproduction including print media. After the adoption of CIE LAB, there evolved a plan for finding out the more precise, accurate, comprehensive and exact color appearance models due to the increased interest in the late 1980's and 1990's and the practical applications requiring appearance models has accelerated the works in this area. These great efforts have resulted in the formulation and adoption of CIECAM97s in 1997.

In this paper, the vibrations of a piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) beam have been analyzed in a thermal field under various boundary conditions and a harmonic moving force. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, governing equations of piezoelectric FGM beam dynamics under a thermal field and various boundary conditions were obtained using the Euler-Bernoulli Theory. Furthermore, results were analyzed using Differential Quadrature numerical method, through which various boundary conditions, including double-fixed, fixed-pinned, pinned-fixed and double-pinned were obtained. In addition, properties of the functionally graded composite material were assumed as a function of beam thickness. Results indicated that increasing the volume fraction of functionally graded materials causes an increase in beam displacement. It was also observed that all-steel beams underwent larger displacements, compared to all-ceramic beams. Additionally, the piezoelectric effect reduced system displacement by causing an increase in the stiffness matrix in the governing equation. Results also showed that higher temperature variations caused larger system drifts. On the other hand, increasing force velocity lead to a higher resulting stress, and consequently, larger beam displacements. Moreover, it was deduced that beam displacement is directly correlated to the beam length parameter, such that larger beam spans result in larger system displacements. Reducing the volume fraction of functional material causes an upsurge in the moving force critical velocity. On the other hand, temperature variations are associated with smaller critical velocities of moving forces and the occurrence of critical velocities at smaller amounts. However, piezoelectricity results in higher critical velocities of the moving force; and therefore, critical velocity will occur at higher amounts. Double-pinned boundary conditions resulted in larger displacements, in comparison to other boundary conditions. Changing the boundary conditions resulted in different amounts of displacement; through which higher system stiffness, and hence, smaller system drifts could be achieved.

The surface electroencephalogram (EEG) is the electrical activity of the brain obtained by scalp electrodes. When eyes move, the electrical field around them changes and produces an electrical signal known as EOG. As this signal propagates over the scalp, it appears on the recorded EEG as noise or artifacts that should be removed in order to cancel its interpretation with background EEG. Because the magnitude of the EOG artifact is usually about the order of the amplitude of EEG signal, removing this artifact is one of the most important problems in studying the brain activities.
