Compact soil liner membrane as a potential alternative technology to wastewater treatment
Of the various methods available for providing better and effective treatment of wastewater, the method of using compact liner membrane prepared from bentonite, cement, lime, gypsum etc with clayey soil was explored in the laboratory scale experiments. The primary purpose of the liner membrane was to isolate the wastewater contents and, therefore, to protect the soil and ground water from pollution. Low porosity, slow diffusive transport, high adsorption of cations, and plasticity / swelling is some of the interesting properties of clay which makes it desirable as a liner membrane material. The metal concentration of wastewater passing through the compact liner were found to be below permissible limit and the metal concentration reduced to 87%, 96.33%, 90.4 % and 99% for zinc, copper, cadmium and lead respectively from their original concentration in wastewater. The present findings suggest that compact liner membrane can be used as a potential alternative technology to wastewater treatment.

Comparative analysis of water potentials of plant tissues and its relation to Chlorophyll Stability Index and heat stress
Plant products easily damage due many reasons as one may be susceptibility nature to diseases due high content of water. This research analysis the water potential of plant tissues and its relation to heat stress. Fresh, clean and healthy plants, Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. Sativus), Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), Capsicum (Capsicum annuum), Potato (Solanum tuberosum) and Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were analyzed under different concentrations of sucrose solution followed by the calculation of chlorophyll, carotenoid, and chlorophyll stability index were done for spinach, Spinacia oleracea as model for the study of heat stress using spectrophotometer. Tomato tissue has lowest solute content and high-water potential and sweet potato tissue has highest solute content and lowest water potential. Spinach being leafy vegetable have very high solute content and high chlorophyll stability index. High water potential refers the availability of water in plant products such as fruits, vegetables etc. Solute concentration in tissues is inversely proportional to water potential, higher the solute concentration higher is the chlorophyll stability index and higher is the stress tolerance apart from the other factors affecting stress tolerance.

Comparative study of cache optimization techniques
The power consumption of modern microprocessors is a primary design limitation across all processing domains, from embedded devices to high performance chips. Reducing feature sizes and increasing numbers of transistors residing on a single die only impairs this issue. Schemes are immediately required to handle this issue, yet still deliver high performance from the system. Architectures have several options for the organization cache. Typically, there are two approaches to improve the efficiency of the cache: either by increasing the number of “live” blocks residing in the cache —while keeping the capacity of the cache intact— or by dynamically adjusting the cache size to the actual requirements of the executing applications. In this paper we have compared some proposed methodologies from selective research papers for improvement of cache performance. The first one resizes cache and unused part is gradually decayed i.e. stop producing hits. In second approach cache is divided into hierarchy, which is searched in sections one by one to get a required hit. Finally, in third approach we re-configure our cache by using a configuration vector that is loaded with a new configuration before an application is started.

Compressed Domain Based Review on Digital Video Watermarking Techniques
The present review covers the literature of digital video watermarking schemes based on considering the video during encoding or encoded video in an increasing order of their publication year from 1998 to 2016. Through extensive literature, some grouping is required. Therefore, only papers published by a method of peer review in high class journal are reviewed. Most of the papers are deals with MPEG structure. Few papers are following the structure of H.264/AVC. These articles include experimental, analytical and numerical work for specific applications. This review also takes papers from good conferences and meeting on video watermarking in addition to above reviewing journal articles. The limitations and the still existing challenges are described in the later part of the review facilitate for those authors who further require doing some innovative work in this field. Eventually, the aim of the authors is to covers the in-depth discussion on already published literature based on compressed domain video watermarking.

Corrosion Inhibition of ?-Brass in 1 M Nitric Acid Solution by Medicinal Plants Extracts (Safflower)
The effect of the addition of safflower extract on the corrosion of ?-brass in nitric acid done by chemical method (WL), electrochemical method "electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) technique". The efficiency of inhibition rise with increment the concentration inhibitor, but diminishes with expanding the temperature. The adsorption of safflower on the ?-metal surface takes as Temkin adsorption isotherm. Impact of the temperature on the consumption of metal in one molar nitric corrosive was additionally mulled over. Potentiodynamic polarization studies demonstrated that safflower concentrates is blended sort inhibitor and the outcomes got from the systems are in great understanding.

Designing the Vernacular Bazaar for Reinforcing the Urban Identity (Case Study: Shiraz City)
Urban spaces and the facades and physical elements of the city are the best things to lead us to a direct understanding of the city and whatever happens in it. Citizens interact with such spaces and find common points with other citizens. They experience the common events and a joint image is formed in their minds. The results of these common experiences and images can be called the identity of the city in the minds of its residents. The urban open spaces (i.e. the urban places for shopping, recreational activities, visiting, and gathering without any barrier at any time) are very effective on the formation of the collective identity between the citizens and on the solidarity of the urban identity. In case of Iran, a clear representation of such spaces can be found in the traditional bazaars. Iranian bazaars are the public attractiveness of the cities that call the people to come and spend their time. The Iranian old cities have been mainly commercial and merchandised cities and thus the bazaar used to be the backbone of the cities. The role of bazaar will be understood more clearly when we see that the main elements of the city, including the squares, mosques, schools, public houses, etc. were built beside the bazaars. The main subject of this research (i.e. traditional bazaar of Shiraz City) is located in Shiraz city, Fars Province of Iran. The main reason for choosing Shiraz is the fact that it is hold as the heart of Iran, i.e., between North, South, East, and West. Thus the potentials of the city can be conducted in a right commercial way.

Determining suitable probability distribution models for agricultural drainage envelope clogging data
Determination of suitable probability distribution function in among frequency distribution models in evaluating occurrences for any phenomena is very important. The gradient ratio is the one of the best important parameter for evaluation of envelope clogging. To conduct this research, data of each replicate was divided into four hourly periodic lengths of 24, 48, 72, and 96. Then, with analysis of data in time series according to HYFA software output and goodness fit of Relative Residual Square Mean, suitable frequency distribution function for each envelope was selected. Based on relative frequency, the best fitted distribution was found to be Three Parameter Log Normal distribution (Moment method) and Two Parameter Log Normal distribution (maximum likelihood method) for synthetic envelope of PP450, Normal distribution (Moment method and maximum likelihood method) for synthetic envelope of PP700, Three Parameter Log Normal distribution (Moment method) and Two Parameter Log Normal distribution (maximum likelihood method) for synthetic envelope of PP900 and Pearson type III distribution (Moment method) and Normal distribution (maximum likelihood method) for envelope of gravel.
