We, at Agni College of Technology, take effort in keeping the campus GREEN. The place which stood as a barren landscape almost two decades ago stands tall today, ranking as the best green campus in the Chennai city. In contrast to the din and dust of the Chennai city, Agni campus is where you get a breath of fresh air. Green spirits often referred as 'Spirits of healing' embalms the Agni's serene environment.

Here, in Agni the environment with abundant greenery helps the students' mind to stay relaxed and focused. Much of their spare time is spent with nature as it speeds up the healing process and gets their spirits back in alignment. All of this packed into a single spice is definitely a treat to our sight. No one can deny the fact that the Agni campus is fresh, green, clean, and simply beautiful. It is the natural and ideal place for learning.

•Skills required in Industry

Academia

•Skills provided by the Education System

While the global population is ageing rapidly, India, with one of the youngest populations in the world, is at a strategic advantage with regard to demographic dividend.

However, almost three fourths of India's population is unskilled. There is a wide gap between the skills required in industry and those provided by the education system.

With 15 million youngsters entering the workforce each year, more than 75 per cent are not job-ready. India will need 700 million skilled workers by 2022 to meet the demands of a growing economy.

This glaring imbalance, due to lack of technical and soft skills, points towards the urgent and growing need to make young Indians job-ready, focusing on young graduates to augment their employabilityTo make sure AGNI'ians stand through them for addressing the challenges, we need skilled and employment ready manpower (ACTIONEER) to take over.

Keeping this in view, a careful skill development system is in place @ Agni equipping our students by integrating skills with regular curriculum education in College.

Catching the bus is one of the most difficult things most of the students face in the mornings. Sometimes it becomes impossible to predict traffic or the bus driver. Missing the bus gives us a bad start to a day. As engineers we are problem solvers and we have come up with a solution to end this once and for all.

ObjectiveTo build a GPS tracking network to track an organization's transport system at low cost by integrating all the different pieces of hardware and software.

Circuit and workingThe circuit is built around Arduino UNO (microcontroller) board, a GPS sensor and a GPRS/GSM module which forms the Transmitter and the database in the website form the receiver. Once the data or the GPS coordinates are sent to the database the user can access the information through the online portal and track their desired bus.

GPS ModuleThe GPS sensor usually aEM-406Aor any GPS arduino shieldis used to receive latitude and longitude data from the GPS satellite. It receives its power from 5v pin of the arduino microcontroller's regulated supply and gives out its data through its TX an RX pins which are connected to the RX and TX pin of arduino respectively.

Fig 1: transmitter consisting of GPS and GPRS modules

GPRS ModuleThis is used to send data through internet via a simcard placed on board. Its target location and database is given by the microcontroller. Its role is to insert the location information into the database so that it can be accessed through the website. The module used here is generally a sim 808, sim 800 or sim 900a. The TX an RX pins of the module are connected to the 6TH and 7TH pin of arduino respectively. [These pins are made to work as software serial pins].

ArduinoArduino is an open source electronic prototyping platform based on flexible, easy to use hardware and software. It is intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino Uno is based on AT mega 328 microcontroller (MCU).it is operated with a 16MHZ crystal oscillator. It is easy

DatabaseThe database is used to store the latitude and longitude data so that when called by the user through the website, the location is sent to the browser of the user. In the database the new values are updated instead of being stored so as to save space and improve ease of access and reduce computing time. We have used a MYSQL database because it is open source and most of the hosting services support this database.

Web HostingWe have registered a domain name in the name of agn igps . com w i th on l i ne hos t i ng se rv i ce www.godaddy.com . The website provides the user an ease of access as he/she need to click on the desired route number then they will be redirected to the Google maps page that displays the current location of their bus.

SoftwareThe arduino microcontroller is programmed using arduino programming language [based on processing] using the arduino IDE. The website is designed using html 5 and PHP while the database uses MYSQL.

Construction and TestingWe developed the first prototype and created the website for experimental testing to verify the credibility of the design and its capabilities to test its reliability over time, so that the hardware and software modification could be analysed.

Conclusion

This project gives students and staff an idea of knowing the exact location of the bus and plan their arrival beforehand and also let them be aware if the bus has left their stop. It also helps the organization to monitor its fleet more efficiently and keep track of their buses in case of a breakdown or an accident.

Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.Biomaterial and Regenerative Medicine: Approaches to Restoration of Flexion in Lumbar Herniated Disc.

R Leela II year B.E. Biomedical Engineering

ABSTRACTThe topic of my research article is on “Biomaterial and Regenerative Medicine Approaches to Restoration of Flexion in Lumbar Herniated Disc.” It deals with the subject of restoring flexion in vertebral bone and to nourish the nucleus pulposus through the approach of Biomaterial and Regenerative Medicine.

INTRODUCTION

RATIONALEDegeneration of lumbar herniated disc is often associated with low back pain which affects up to 80%, of people. Acute pain recovers within 10 weeks while chronic low back pain lasts for long time. About 10% of people suffer from chronic low back pain. In United States, the annual health care in case of chronic low back pain cost for 20 billion USD. The aging of the disc decreases, the cell density of the Nucleus Pulposus (NP) in the disc which in turn decline the production of extracellular matrix(ECM) proteins. The Nucleus Pulposus is covered by annulus fibrosus which is responsible to bear stress. The secretion of extracellular matrix contains proteins such as type 2 collagen and aggrecans, which is the backbone of proteoglycan. There is also a pivotal role of the vertebral endplates in disc degeneration. The endplates are located in the cranial and caudal ends of each disc that separates the vertebral bone form the disc and prevents bulging of nucleus into adjacent vertebrae. The solute transport and maintenance are controlled by the proteoglycan molecules within the matrix. The blood vessels in the endplates are activated by degrading metalloproteinase (MMP) enzyme which are maintained in latent form by tissue inhibitors. The calcification of the vertebral endplate tremendously becomes less permeable for oxygen and nutrient supply, resulting in further degeneration of the disc. The compressibility of the disc is retarded due to the loss of hydrophilic proteoglycans within the NP cells. The recent treatments include the non-operative modalities such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication and steroid

injection. Surgical methods are used when there is a failure in the non-operative modalities. Surgical treatments include partial discectomy to spinal fusion; disc arthroplasty and non-fusion techniques spare motion and cannot restore normal spine biomechanics. So, there is no long term benefit. Degeneration of disc is an important problem because human beings face difficulty in their routine life.

Previous research was focused on gene based delivery of growth factors into NP cells. Recent research focuses on the combination of biomaterial and regenerative medicine based approach to degenerative disc disease to restore disc height. This approach helps in restoring disc anatomy and ECM production within the disc. Although disc height is possible to restore, the flexion in the disc is still a limitation. Hence the significance of this paper is restoration of flexion in the disc by using a special type of biomaterial along with the regenerative medicine as a scaffold which is replaced in the place of degenerated disc.

The NP cells or bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells are harvested and expanded in vitro and also coupled with poly-β-hydroxybutyrate which becomes a biomaterial scaffold and replaced in the place of degenerated disc.OBJECTIVE

The systematic objective of this paper is to restore flexion in the lumbar herniated disc through the combination of tissue engineering and biomaterial based approach. The primary end point is the restoration of the herniated disc to normal healthy disc and to improve tissue quality. METHOD

A biomaterial scaffold made up of poly-B-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) which consists of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins which is synthesized in vitro through regenerative medicine and is replaced in the place of degenerated disc. The scaffold is designed in CAD and is printed in LAB. The scaffold performs the metabolic functions.

Stages of notochord transformation into the NP in the mouse embryo. Embryos were stained with Alcian Blue (which marks glycosaminoglycans) and Picrosirius Red (which marks collagen). At embryonic day (E)12.5, the notochord (arrow) runs uninterrupted the length of the vertebral column. Sclerotome cells have condensed perichordially, and metameric patterning of future disc and vertebral body condensations is apparent. At E13.5, the notochord has begun to contract within the vertebral body regions and expand within the disc regions (arrow). At E14.5, the notochord has virtually disappeared from the vertebral bodies, persisting solely in the locations of the future NPs (arrow). In the neonate, lateral expansion of the NP has occurred (arrow) and primary ossification centers are present in the vertebral bodies. At postnatal age 1 month, vertebral bodies are fully ossified and the NP (arrow) contains a glycosaminoglycan-rich extracellular matrix surrounded by the collagenous AF. Scale bars: E12.5, E13.5 and E14.5: 200 μm (top) and 100 μm (bottom); neonate: 400 μm (top) and 200 μm (bottom); 1 month: 500 μm (top) and 400 μm (bottom).

RESULT

The result of this research is that we can restore disc height using this biomaterial along with tissue engineering. Many surgical methods like joint arthroplasty and non-fusion techniques do not restore normal spine biomechanics but my research can restore it.

Extension of the modified He-Laplace method for

solving non-linear fractional differential difference

equations

AbstractIn this article, a numerical algorithm based on Modified He-Laplace method (MHLM) is proposed to obtain space and time fractional differential difference equations (FDDEs) arising in physical phenomena such as wave phenomena in fluids, coupled nonlinear optical waveguides and nanotechnology fields. The Modified He-Laplace transform method is a combined form of the Fractional homotopy perturbation method and Laplace transforms method. The proposed scheme grants the solution in the form of a rapidly convergent series. The achieved results expose that the MHLM is a very efficient, simple and can be applied to other nonlinear FDDDs problems.

Membrane Distillation - A futuristic technologyMembrane Distillation (MD) is a thermally driven separation process, in which only vapour is transported through a porous hydrophobic membrane. The driving force of the process is supplied by the vapour pressure difference caused by temperature gradient imposed between the liquid-vapour interfaces. Several MD configurations can be used such as Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD), Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD), Vacuum Membrane Distillation (VMD) and Sweeping Gas Membrane Distillation (SGMD). MD membranes have to be porous, hydrophobic, thermally stable and chemically resistant to the feed solution. The main Characteristic features are high liquid entry pressure, high permeability and low fouling rate. It has applications in the treatment of thermally sensitive industrial products such as concentrating aqueous solutions in fruit juices, pharmaceutical industry, in waste water treatment and water desalination.
