Cure the illness or diseases through medicine is a main part of healing process but body and mind response to healing process plays the major role for complete heal. The research work the body and mind response to healing process for a particular illness or diseases with musical therapy is a new domain. In musical therapy Identifying which rage for a particular healing illness or diseases, how much time to play and what time to play are the challenging issue. The mentioned challenges were addressed by notes or swara movement of raga which can be adopt feature extraction techniques from Digital Signal Processing and classification of raga play to a particular healing illness or diseases through various machine learning algorithm. The research work carried on feature extraction techniques from Digital Signal Processing and classification of raga play through various machine learning algorithm review literature and percentage of accuracy in each technique are presented in this paper.

Self-cleaning concrete doped with nano and micro-size zinc oxide particles
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
Nano- and micro scale zinc oxide (ZnO) particles were added to a concrete mix to study the effect on the self-cleaning ability of concrete given ZnO'photocatalytic abilities. Real sunlight was used to mimic environmental conditions, and two organic dyes (rhodamine B) and (methylene blue) were utilized as a model for organic pollutants in the air. ZnO particles were prepared in different concentrations (3, 6, 9, 12, 15%) in a proportional ratio to the cement. The results indicated that 6% microscale ZnO was the optimal amount to remove rhodamine B, with the removal efficiency reaching up to 94.5%, and 3% micro ZnO was optimal to remove methylene blue with removal reaching 87%. In contrast, 15% was the optimum concentration of nanoscale ZnO to remove both rhodamine B and methylene blue, with removal efficiency reaching up to 90% and 84.4%, respectfully. Scanning tunneling electron microscopy was used to see ZnO particle distribution on the surface of the prepared concrete.

Further Characteristic Analysis of the High-Power AC Plasmatron
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
With our previous publication, characterization of the high-power arc-jet plasma torch was studied. This article attempts to carry out further characterization of the plasma jet using different experimentalresults mainly obtained from different distances ofoptical emission spectroscopy (OES) and different arc power values. Plasmatron works under atmospheric (about one atm) pressure with high-power three phase alternating-current (AC) established in AR&TeCS (ARTECS Anadolu R&D Technology Engineering and Consultancy Company, Ankara University Technopolis). In order to characterize the plasma, the electron temperature (Te) and electron density (ne) were determined by using OES in the range 200 – 1100 nm as defined in the experiment section.......

  • Full Article
A novel photonic radio-frequency memory design based on microwave photonics and multicore fiber techniques is developed and investigated. The results of the prototype examination as compared to the known versions Photonic radio-frequency memory showed that the adopted design concept allowed to ensure a sufficiently deep memorization of the input radio-frequency signal, to increase the number of reproduced delay gradations, and to successfully process all the radar's radio frequency pulse width, which extends from several hundred of nanoseconds to tens of microseconds, in a multi-octave RF operating range.
