STEGANALYSIS OF LSB INSERTION METHOD IN UNCOMMPRESSED IMAGES USING MATLAB
Abstract: In this paper we have explained steganalytic tool to detect presence of the hidden message in LSB steganography. It is the process of hiding secret information in cover image. Here we have used the LSB insertion method using discrete algorithms. Steganographic programs use Least Significant Bit (LSB) embedding as method of choice for message hiding 24-bit, 8-bit color images and grayscale images. It is commonly understood that changes to LSB …

Comparison of Three Interpolation in OFDM Systems
Abstract: Doppler shift and channel induced fading effects are more likely to induce inter carrier interferences (ICI), which are the challenging research area in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). This paper uses channel estimation for canceling the effects of ICI from the received signals. One dimensional frequency domain comb-type channel estimation are considered because of its low computational complexity and effective tracking ability of the fast fading channel. The channel …

Vacuum Dewatering During Concreting: Modern Construction Method
Abstract: In the RCC construction, water–cement ratio is detrimental for concrete. We always try to restrict the water–cement ratio because we want structure achieve its higher strength rather it is necessary for structure life. For the chemical reaction which is generated in cement and water, water–cement ratio of less than 0.38, whereas the adopted water–cement ratio is much more than that mainly because of the requirement of workability. After the requirement …

Study of Shear Strength Behaviour of Soil With Kaolinite Mixture
Abstract: An experimental testing program was undertaken for evaluating the effect of kaolinite on the strength properties of locally available sand and soil. Strength depends principally upon the content of (1) water, (2) clastic materials and (3) plastic materials. Soils are primarily of two types (1) cohesionless soils in which the strength this produced mainly by the friction of clastic particles against one another, and (2) cohesive soils in which the …

Equivalent Circuits For High Frequency Bipolar Transistors
Abstract: Two types of equivalent circuits were considered to represent small signal/linear bipolar transistor behaviour at high frequencies. Elements/Parameters of the equivalent circuits are extracted from measured S parameters using gradient method by Fletcher-Powell. Exact gradients of S parameters were determined by using gradient conversion matrix formula between two-port open circuit impedance parameters and two port scattering parameters. Good agreement between measured and simulated all the four two port S parameters …

Chemical composition in Atmosphere: An Introductory Approach for Students
Abstract: Our atmosphere is divided into different strata above the earth’s surface. The region closest to earth’s surface is the troposphere that is extended upto 10-16 km above the surface. This layer or strata is followed by stratosphere which extends upto nearly 50 km. Above it is the mesosphere region, which covers about 50-85 km from surface of the earth. Beyond the mesosphere lies the thermosphere which goes from 85-500 km …
