A classifier function was developed which could recognize the number present in the image. The input to the classifier function consists of PNG and JPEG files containing a single digit. The classifier recognized the number by using the dataset of text files given to it. It was observed that the accuracy of the classifier improved with every iteration of the program as the program learnt from its earlier errors. Finally, further improvements and future scope of the model has been discussed.
High school and college graduates seemingly are often battling for the courses they should major ... more High school and college graduates seemingly are often battling for the courses they should major in order to achieve their target career. In this paper, we worked on suggesting a career path to a graduate to reach his/her dream career given the current educational status. Firstly, we collected the career data of professionals and academicians from various career fields and compiled the data set by using the necessary information from the data. Further, this was used as the basis to suggest the most appropriate career path for the person given his/her current educational status. Decision trees and string matching algorithms were employed to suggest the appropriate career path for a person. Finally, an analysis of the result has been done directing to further improvements in the model.

A lot of scientific legislation has come up in India as well in recent times. With effect from May, 2012 E-Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2011 came into effect and these rules entail environmentally sound management of e-Waste. E-waste management implies that all the required steps have been taken to ensure the management and disposal in such a manner that it does not affect the health of human beings and the environment adversely due to undesirable effects of hazardous substance contained in such e-wastes.

Being the fastest growing refuse problem in the world, the e-waste junk stream is growing at a rate of 20% per year. By 2010 India had about 75 million computers and the base is expected to grow to 140 million computers by 2013 end. Computer equipment accounts for almost 68% of e-waste material, followed by telecommunication (12%), electrical (8%) and medical equipment (7%) and household e-crap (5%). All these are no more accessories of the society but necessity. It is a gigantic task to convince the society to follow strict rules in usage, management & disposal of e-products. An e-Waste Inventory Management system needs to be put into place. The process should be a combination of manual and mechanical dismantling, size reduction, segregation, dust collection as well as sending hazardous waste for final disposal and precious metal bearing components for refining or recycling. Entire system should be based on the principles of clean environment and zero landfill. Hazardous substances recovered during the process of recycling of e-waste should be disposed off through the CHWTSDF, authorized by the Pollution Control Board in the prescribed manner. This paper is intended to offer a practical, scientific, safe and environmentally apt model system for implementation of E-waste Regulations in India. Common but differential roles have been proposed at all levels of e-waste management. Keywords--legislation, recycling, CHWTSDF, e-inventory, Human health.
