 Abstract

Composite materials with natural fiber such as jute, bamboo, and coconut provide advantages of high stiffness and strength to weight ratio as compared to conventional construction materials, i.e. wood, concrete, and steel. Despite these advantages, the widespread use of synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer composite tends to decline because of their high-initial costs, their use in non-efficient structural forms, and most importantly their adverse environmental impact. Also, this review paper provides suitable fiber length as well as suitable fiber ratio or fiber volume fraction.

Social networking services is a web based platform which is used by the people to evolve social networks or social relationships with each other who share similar profession or individual interests, activities, events, ideas or real life connections. The popularity of SNS is emerging rapidly and has become a huge date source to analyze social networks. The widespread content by users is very important in social networking services. In this, I proposed a method for finding information diffusion models for the data in social networking sites which can be obtained by using process mining techniques .For this, first we filer the information by expelling inconsistent users. Further, to decrease the complexity nature of SNS filtered information a user-centric clustering approach accomplished utilizing a novel measure called user intimacy value that quantifies the degree of relationship between users ,depending on modularity maximization strategy is carried out. This clustered information is converted to an event log which is utilized as input for process discovery algorithm Infoflow miner. The Infoflow miner utilizes response weight, that can be characterized as, the degree of impact or effect that one user activities have on other user activities. Final outcome of the technique is a graph which represents the flow of information among user networks present in the original information.

 Abstract

The tribal community has a very long history in all over the world. The Pardhi community in India is also one of the tribal community having its unique cultural aspects, social belief system and lifestyle. After the repealed of Criminal Tribes Act 1971 (CTA) into the series of Habitual Offenders Acts1 1952 and 1959, Pardhi community was tagged as the denotified tribal community. This is one of the socio-economically deprived segments of the society in Maharashtra in general and Solapur district in particular. The high incidence of poverty is one of the features of this community. No, doubt that government has taken keen efforts to uplift the conditions of the tribal community through several welfare schemes and policies after independence, but still the condition of this community is dismal. This community has very low access to livelihood sources. They are often migrating from one place to another in the search of work and settlement. Under this backdrop, the new approach towards the measuring poverty i.e. multidimensional poverty index has constructed based on 340 sample respondents interviewed from the eleven tehsils of Solapur district. Three main techniques are used to assess the extent of poverty in the Pardhi community of Solapur district. These techniques are adjusted head count ratio, adjusted poverty gap and adjusted squared poverty gap. These three measures jointly provide the value of multidimensional poverty index. Three major indices were taken into account i.e health, education and standard of living. The Alkire and Foster (AF) method has used to measure the multidimensional poverty index. The data collected from the questionnaire schedule was processed in excel and R software. It has found that the comparatively incidence of poverty among the Pardhi community is more in case of urban area than that of rural area. The economic condition of the community is very dismal and they have rare access to livelihood sources. It has suggested to the government to provide special attention and priority, to Pardhi community in the welfare schemes, for improvement in standard of living and breaking vicious circle of poverty.

 Abstract

The increase in road fatalities comes as bad news. This cannot be stopped but can be controlled. The Accidents may cause due to driver�s health, Driver�s feelings, vehicle speed, climate condition, traffic conditions, road conditions, etc. Analysis and prediction on Traffic collision has gained importance in these days. The big dataset is generated every year. The proposed system works on analysis and prediction of road accidents information data using machine learning algorithms and its efficient execution. For analysis same type of accidents are clustered together using EMM algorithm and for prediction association mining is performed using Top-k Improved Association Rule Mining (IARM) algorithm. This algorithm finds the top k rules from dataset. The generated association rules are then provided to the Congestion control using Machine Framework (CCMF) and Traffic Congestion Analyzer using Mapping (TCAMP) algorithms to generate predictions. The Results are compared in terms of accuracy and efficiency with existing systems.

 Abstract

Wurster Technique for Coating of powders or particles can be performed using bottom-spray where the nozzle is spraying from the bottom or using rotary module with a nozzle spraying from the side or tangentially. The fluidization pattern in the Wurster process is very critical. The bottom-spray Wurster method is very popular in the pharmaceutical industry for active layering and for coating to modify or control drug release. It was used for development of various dosage forms of Multiple Unit Particulate Systems with better therapeutic efficacy. The Wurster process has number of variables. The batch size, spray liquid viscosity, concentration, spray assembly setting, air distributor plate, column height, and dew point, etc. are easy to establish. To fix dependent variables like air volume, atomization air pressure, spray rate, product temperature trials were performed. Finally by using Quality by design optimize the critical parameters in the process. Before scale-up, key variables and their effect on output should be identified during lab and pilot scale. This process is particularly suitable for a controlled release/ extended release and delayed/ enteric coating of active ingredients layered in the form of pellet. In the Wurster process, a complete sealing of the surface can be achieved.

 Abstract

Total number of 30 Asian Elephants were analysed for haematobiochemical and cortisol level in the different Tiger Reserves of Madhya Pradesh. The freshly laid feacal samples and blood were collected from each elephant. These biological samples were analyzed by using commercially available diagnostic kits and reagents. Haematobiochemical parameters showed correlation between high rise of neutrophils, TEC, TLC, SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT, ALP, UA in elephants those have higher level of cortisol. Male and female showed no difference in level of cortisol however sub-adults showed higher level of cortisol as compare to calves and adults.

 Abstract

In many high-rise buildings, architectural requirements may result in a variable configuration for the vertical structural elements between the stories of the building. To accommodate such vertical elements discontinuity a �transfer� floor conveying vertical and lateral loads between upper and lower stories must be introduced. To accommodate the multiple architectural requirements, the location, orientation, and dimensions of the vertical and lateral load resisting elements vary every certain number of stories. In such cases, a transfer floor is commonly used to solve this persistent structural-architectural conflict. A transfer floor is the floor system which supports a system of vertical and lateral load resisting elements and transfers its loading action to a different underneath system. Transfer systems are generally used in multifunction structures, in which the lower stories of the building usually are used as open public areas, while floors above that transfer system could accommodate typical residential or office spaces.

 Abstract

The Covid-19 has become incubus across the globe and mankind is counting the date when they will get rid of such a miserable condition which has changed human behaviour and both the thinking and awareness of life have also been significantly changed. Corona virus pandemic is worsening day by day and with it even the problem of falsified and substandard medicine is increasing enormously. World Health Organisation (WHO) on 31st March published a medical alert to warm consumers and other health care professionals and health authorities regarding false medical products that surely claims to treat COVID-19. In order to reflect and analyse this current situation this paper deals with different loyalty perceptions of the respondents towards the medicinal hygiene products across the demographical, behavioural and awareness constructs. With 125 respondents and several non- parametric tests (like Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, Mann -Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis Test) as well as regression and correlations tests applied to the study, different conclusions have been drawn from there. From the first construct of the analysis of behavioural and awareness changes before and during the pandemic there has been a statistically significant difference towards availability of medicinal hygiene products, effort and time, quality, price and frequency of purchase before and during covid-19. From regression analysis strong linear dependency of Loyalty index of consumers on Usefulness, Price value and Brand value has been extracted. Loyalty perceptions has also been analysed across demographic constructs. Lastly correlation matrix exactly shows the relationships between the main construct of loyalty with the brand value (indexed), price value (indexed) and usefulness value (indexed). Some managerial implications can also be found out from the study in the sense that the marketers can get an idea towards consumers� attitudes and shopping behaviour as because COVID-19 is greatly influencing the shopping of personal hygiene products with an accelerated shift to digital purchases.

 Abstract

Sorting is a core function in numerous applications. Sorting is performed in hardware with FPGA or ASIC for application which demands greater performance. The critical issues are consumption of power and area. This paper has an efficient method for sorting networks by utilizing odd-even merge sort by Batcher and �unary processing�. In unary processing numbers are represented as a sequence of one value (like 0�s) preceded by a sequence of other value (like 1�s) in a stream, with the value described depending on number of 1�s in the stream. The proposed approach is expected to show reduction in hardware.
