Stock market prediction using machine learning

The basic tool aimed at increasing the rate of investor's interest in stock markets is by developing a vibrant application for analyzing and predicting stock market prices. In this report we explain, the development and implementation of a stock market price prediction application using a machine learning algorithm. In this report, we try to analyze existing and new methods of stock market prediction. We take three different approaches to solving the problem: Fundamental analysis, Technical Analysis and The application of Machine Learning. We found evidence in support of the weak form of the Efficient Market Hypothesis. We can use Fundamental Analysis and Machine Learning to guide an investor’s decisions. We demonstrate a common flaw in Technical Analysis methodology to show that it produces limited useful information. Based on our findings, algorithmic trading programs are developed and simulated using Quant. During the past few decades, various machine learning techniques have been applied to study the highly theoretical and speculative nature of the stock market by capturing and using repetitive patterns. Different companies use different types of analysis tools for forecasting and the main aim is the accuracy, with which they predict which set of stocks would yield the maximum amount of profit.

Compressive and tensile behaviors of steel fiber reinforced concrete

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is a concrete mixture containing discontinuous, discrete steel fibers that are randomly dispersed and uniformly distributed. The quality and quantity of steel fibers influence the mechanical properties of concrete. It is in general accepted that the addition of steel fibers significantly increases tensile toughness and ductility, also slightly enhances the compressive strength. The benefits of using steel fibers become apparent after concrete cracking because the tensile stress is then redistributed to fibers. The objective of this study is to investigate the compressive and tensile behavior of steel fibers in reinforced concrete by conducting an experimental program consisting of load testing on various specimens made from conventional concrete (CC) and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Test series consisted of cylindrical compression (100×200 and 150×300 mm) and prismatic modulus of rupture (150×150×600 mm) specimens. Tensile tests on reinforcing bars surrounded by prismatic concrete specimens were also performed. The variables used in these tests were lengths (500, 1000, and 1500 mm) and cross-sectional dimensions (60×60, 100×100,150×150, 200×200 mm) of the prismatic concrete specimens around a reinforcing bar.

CFD analysis and parameter optimization of Divergent Convergent Nozzle

The current research work is related to the computational fluid dynamic analysis of two-dimensional convergent-divergent nozzle in Ansys software. It using the CVM (control volume method) to solve the governing equation of fluid flow problem formulated under the given boundary condition. The basic aim of the current study is to determine the most suitable or optimum configuration of convergent-divergent angle in DC Nozzle. The parameter of a nozzle is taken according to the DC nozzle geometry. The different configuration has made by vary angle from 15 to 40 degree at the step of 5 degrees for Convergent angle and for divergent angle, it varies from 12.5 degrees to 20 degrees at the step of 2.5 degrees. The analysis was performed in the fluent workbench of ansys software. The input data for the nozzle is taken as the temperature of exhaust gas and pressure at the inlet. The output data is obtained by fluent in the form of temperature plot and pressure distribution and velocity gradient and Mach number are calculated for each combination.

Analysis and performance evaluation of slender square fin geometry for application in electronics devices heat sink

This paper focuses on a development of a heat sink with slender square fins for the application of relay circuit cooling wherein the device shall be used to cool inline snatch relays that are used as circuit breakers in PLC boards. The geometrical layout and thermal analysis of the heat sink are discussed in this paper. The relay circuits need effective heat sinks in order to dissipate the hot side heat from the chip to the atmosphere. This encourages designing a heat sink in which heat transfer enhancement is carried out by designing of slender square fins with plain and skewed profile fins that have a three-layer concentric triangular layout. With this geometrical layout, the thermal analysis and heat transfer enhancement from plain and skewed profile fins configuration are carried out. Thus the study is focused on design development and testing of the heat sink with slender square fins that have a generic progressive transverse layout of fins. The surface area enhancement and cross flow heat dissipation is planned through the use of through skew in the direction normal to of air flow. The geometrical layout and thermal analysis of these fins are discussed in the paper. Fins to dissipate approximately 35 to 40 watt of energy to get a desired to bring about the cooling of the relay circuits.

Kashmir insurgency: It’s changing trends

Separatism has always been a popular concept in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, especially in Kashmir. This discontentment among Muslims of the valley in particular (mainly those who were against the accession with India) could never be won over or even accommodated by the ruling people and has resulted in the revelation of militancy and insurgency. The paper is an analysis of the discontents among the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It will throw light on the blatant manipulation of the electoral process in 1987 that led Kashmiris to believe that they would remain permanently marginalized in the current political dispensation. They were led to feel that ‘the bullets will deliver when the ballot had failed’. The main thrust of the paper is to analyze the Kashmiri rebellion that began as a call for ‘Azadi’ or freedom in 1989 and was transformed into different trends in the succeeding years. This paper looks into the various reasons which could be identified for the proliferation of armed insurgency. It analyses the dominant militant groups like Hizbul Mujahideen, JKLF, Ikhwan or renegades, Jihadies and Fidayeen groups; the Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad; their organizational structures; support bases; strategies and objectives. The paper will also through light on popular disillusionment with increasing militancy and growing crime tendencies among proliferating armed groups. Finally, the paper also critiques the response of various governments at the center and the state.

Solid waste management practices in PCMC and PMC area

Solid waste management has become a major development challenge in recent times. This deserves not only the attention of the Metropolitan Assembly and the waste management institutions but also concerns of corporate organizations and individuals to find a lasting solution to the problem. This is because, vital human resource could be lost through poor waste management and this will affect productivity in the Metropolis. The study therefore intends to explore appropriate strategies and recommendations in clearing solid waste in all segments in the Metropolis in a sustainable manner. Despite the immensity of the problem, very little research on solid waste management has been carried out in the Metropolis. The study will serve as a reference point to the Metropolitan Assembly and waste management institutions as far as solid waste management is concerned. In this case, it will give them an in-depth understanding of what the problems of solid waste management are and the strategies to tackle the problems. Additionally, the study will contribute to existing body of knowledge on solid waste management and also stimulates further research on the subject in other Metropolitan Areas.
