Abstract : The irrigation water quality supplied to the irrigators has a remarkable effect on both crop quality and yields. This necessitates increasing research on the irrigation water quality. The study’s primary purpose was to evaluate the efficiency of Karur district (Tamil Nadu) of the Amaravathi River. Samples of groundwater were collected before and after the monsoon. Numerous water quality indices have been evaluated for the specific bore wells. The absorption ratio of sodium, (%SSP or %Na) the exchangeable percentage of sodium, (RSC or RA) the residual sodium carbonate, the permeability index, (CAI1, CAI2) the chloroalkaline indices, Kelly's ratio, potential salinity, the total solids dissolved, the magnesium hazard, the total hardness are some of these parameters. A large percentage of the cations were sodium (72.05%) and magnesium (19.48%). While chloride and bicarbonate accounted for 60.88 and 21.49 percent of total anions, calcium and potassium ions were of secondary importance, making about 6.75 and 1.72%, respectively. Sulfate ions accounted for 16.81% of the total ion concentration. However, the levels of bicarbonates, nitrates, and fluoride were extremely low. The analysis of several parameters specified the moderate appropriateness of groundwater for the purpose of irrigation..

Abstract : The physicochemical, microbial, and sensory quality of kefir fortified with mango pulp (Mangifera Indica L.) at different concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, and 37.5%). This work sought to evaluate protein, lipids, moisture, ash content, pH value, total titratable acidity (TTA), total phenolic compounds, free radical scavenging activity, texture, taste, aroma, color, and overall liking of cow’s milk kefir fortified with mango pulp (Mangifera Indica L.). Based on the research, it can be concluded that the best results were found in the fortification of mango pulp in cow milk kefir at 37.5%. This cow’s milk kefir was more acidic (4.71-4.89), with total titratable acidity (0.81-0.94 g/100 g), moisture (88.41-90.11 g/100 g), protein content (3.44-4.14 g/100 g), lipids (1.82-3.75 g/100 g) and ash (0.61-0.72 g/100g). The phenolic compounds of cow’s milk kefir (197.97-351.42 mg GAE/g), free radical scavenging activity (16.07-86.76%), Total Plate Count (5.52-5.59 Log CFU/ml), lactic acid bacteria viable count (8.66-8.94 Log CFU/ml), viable yeast count (7.59-7.90 Log CFU/ml) and sensory values are still in the range preferred by the panelists..

Abstract : The power of Software-Defined Network (SDN) is its centralised control intelligence in its next-generation networking architecture. It is possible to expand SDN's control plane to a wide range of underlying networks, from fog to the Internet of Things (IoT). The fog-to-IoT architecture is currently a potential option for real-time data management. However, the majority of fog-to-IoT devices are resource-constrained and widely distributed, which makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks. It has just developed as a novel cyber foraging strategy to offload heavy workloads from mobile devices to mobile cloudlets that are located close to the end-users. In order to develop wireless fog networks, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are being examined due to the prevalence of wireless one-hop communication at the network edge. But the distributed hop-by-hop routing protocols used by WMNs to represent a partial view of the network limit the network management and monitoring capabilities that fog networks require on a global scale. As SDN allows centralised control and management of the entire network, it's an excellent fit for fog-based communication systems. Wireless fog networks are not supported by the SDN OpenFlow protocol because it is primarily designed for wired networks. A novel Trust based Identity model for Internet of Things architecture for handling Fog Networks (TbI-IoT-FN) is proposed in this study to provide secure data transmission in the network, which combines the advantages of software-defined networking and Fog computing. A logically centralised network control plane enables the deployment of advanced traffic management and resource management algorithms in software-defined networking. The proposed model is contrasted with the existing model and the results represent that the proposed model exhibits better performance levels..

Abstract : Traditionally, testing is done first at end of the design phase, however this is no longer the case. Testing, finding, and categorising bugs, as well as releasing the development changes into the product, carries a price tag. If the test/verification team discovers a high-severity issue at the end of the lifecycle, the costs may climb. Even if all of the issues are resolved, the release could be delayed. Shift-Left testing is done in isolation by the test/verification team and does not increase testing time, but it has demonstrated to be in sync with product development in some cases. In the context of a process, shifting-left refers to taking action early on. Shift-left testing refers to the practise of testing software earlier in the development cycle than is customary, or to the left in the delivery pipeline, as opposed to the traditional practise of testing software later in the development cycle. Shifting to a "shift left" strategy assumes that the software development team may find bugs faster if they test their code as it is being written, rather than waiting until the end of the project. Before the code is available for testing, shift left testing encourages developers to write test cases. An agile software development strategy known as "shift left" stresses putting test cases in place early in the life cycle of a project rather than at the conclusion. It also means that automated tests will cover a larger portion of a project's planned functionality rather to just a small portion. The shift left testing adoption benefits the organization to reduce the development cost and time as the testing is done along with development to avoid delay in the process. This paper analyse the benefits of organizations who adopted shift left testing in the software development process..
