5. Survey on Proof of Violation​ in Cloud Storage

Proof of Violation (POV) scheme in the cloud storage systems, this scheme is used in which it allows the users to produce some cryptographic proofs, to determine whether the violation has been occurred by the user or whether he is innocent by providing cryptographic proofs. Since Security and reliability are the two major concerns about cloud storage. However, clients lose control of files when uploading to the cloud storage. Files may be unexpectedly exposed to a third party or modified without permission or the hackers may take an advantage of such files. The cloud may not follow user’s instruction to safely store files. For example, if files are damaged or lost, users usually do not have any precise proof to prove it. Since customers cannot make informed decisions about the risk of losing data stored, since their incentive to rely on these services is reduced. Hence a new scheme approach i.e., proof of violation is been developed in which it can be achieved using SLA Agreement, in which it can be used to provide the mutual non-repudiation guarantee with the service provider in the cloud storage. Auditing of files must be done, since it keep tracks of each file operation and determines if there is any violation in the SLA. The result of all these file operations and hash values of the downloaded files are stored in the cloud server and hence can achieve real-time auditing through it. Therefore the cloud must provide security features so that only authorized person can access and provide authentication for each file to improve better security features and back-up the lost data files. Therefore in order to enhance better performance and efficiency through which maximum time effort can be reduced.

6. Comparative Analysis of Discrete and Fused Floating Point Arithmetic Units and its Application for Fused Butterfly Unit

For DSP application that requires a large dynamic range floating point implementations are more suitable than fixed point representation. Floating point arithmetic is much useful in the implementation of various DSP applications as it allows the designer and the user to concentrate on the algorithms and architecture without worrying about the numerical issues. Many applications use floating point hardware to perform DSP tasks in real time and hence overcome the limitations imposed by the use of fixed point numeric systems. The multi-functional floating-point unit includes a multiplier unit, a fused Add-Subtract unit which uses hardware more efficiently in comparison to the separate unit blocks for each operation. This method reduces the area of the designed block but the speed of operation is also reduced. The blocks are reduced based on the common operation between each designed unit.

14. Utilization Of Rubber Waste In Construction Of Flexible Pavement

The growth rate of vehicles is the backbone of economic development of any country. India is the second fast growing automobile industry in the world. In today’s era, solid waste management is the thrust area. On the other side, the traffic intensity is also increasing. As a result amount of waste tyres is also increasing. The increasing consumption of waste tire has generated many problems such as increasing landfill space, environmental pollution and causing health hazards. Parallel to this is the increasing of roads construction as a result of heavy traffic on roads. This study reviews to the use of crumb rubber (waste tires in powder form) in bitumen using the wet process. The study focuses on the crumb rubber as a replacement to the total weight of bitumen. The design or life span for all highways and urban roads is 10 – 20 years. Unfortunately, damages or distresses on pavements are still occurring before reaching the maximum period of the designed road serviceability. Among the major influencing factor that is contributing to this distress is the repeated heavy traffic loading on the road surfaces. Moreover, the use of waste crumb rubber in road construction as a pavement surface has a better skid resistance, fatigue crack resistance and increased rut resistance. The review includes physical tests that are used to determine the physical properties of bitumen and modified crumb rubber mix. The physical tests involve penetration test, softening point test, and ductility test. The expectations from the study are to develop bitumen with waste crumb rubber that would minimize the costs of bitumen and providing better physical properties compared to the convention bitumen based on the tests that was conducted.

17. The Quest for Professional Civil Service in Ethiopia: Practices and Challenges

Professionalism in the civil service is an overarching value that determines how its activities will be carried out. It encompasses all other values that guide the public service such as loyalty, neutrality, transparency, diligence, punctuality, effectiveness, impartiality, and other values that may be specific to a given country. The rationale behind professionalism is that public servants should be neutral, impartial, fair, and competent and serve the public interest in carrying out their duties. They should be top people who are fairly compensated and adequately trained to perform their work. Among others, historical and ideological realities; lack of real recruitment procedures and conditions ; Competition from private sector and others which resulted in limited stock of qualified people in specialized areas specific to the public sector; absence of or abuse of objective and uniform standard of appraisal and results-based reward system; limited awareness and practical skills among some leaders, managers and team leaders to support their subordinates in their professional development; weak linkage of human resource development activities with the strategy and inadequate budget allocation to human resource development; and negative attitude and resistance to change among civil servants and even sometimes the middle and top level leaders are found to be the challenges in creating professional public service. The following recommendations are also recommended. Refining and implementing comprehensive merit system is the basis for civil service professionalism. Improving the performance management system is critical in today’s Ethiopian Civil Service in order to align individual, team and organizational performance. The rules of advancement and promotion for career development must provide an incentive to public servants to obtain the best results both qualitatively and quantitatively. Competitive payment is very vital element for the development of professionalism, since public servants who receive adequate remuneration feel secure in their jobs and therefore are better motivated. Public servants have always been expected to be neutral and to treat all citizens impartially and equitably in accordance with the laws and regulations in force.
