Due to the erratic power supply in some parts of the World, it is imperative to source for an alternative to the municipal power supply; power generators are uneconomical and generate undesirable noise when in operation. Thus, a power inverter was designed and constructed as an operational unit to serve as an automatic supply unit in case of interruption in the main supply of power and hence reduce power failure for rural and commercial usage. The main objective of this study was to construct and evaluate the performance an electrical power inverter. It was constructed according to the rules and regulation of International Electronic Engineering Standard. Materials used for construction and evaluation of the inverter were carefully sorted and selected locally considering strength, availability, durability and cost. The main component parts include transformer, relay, capacitor, socket, alternator, multi-vibrator, resistor, integrated circuit and transistor. The efficiency was obtained by varying the load on the inverter and measuring the respective power output. The inverter has the highest efficiency of 97.40% at a load of 75W and lowest efficiency of 71.70% at a load of 600W. It was also observed that there is a decrease in the output of the machine when there is a high increase in the load. The inverter can be used for commercial purposes due to its availability in terms of material for construction, strength, its efficiency, conversion of direct current to alternating current and it can also be adopted for use in agricultural establishments.

The groundwater in coastal region has got immense attention by different researchers through mainly emphasizing on the dynamic interaction between groundwater and seawater. Due to the increase in development in coastal regions, it is important to ensure proper coastal management and coastal protection techniques in order to avoid various coastal hydro-geological, engineering, and environmental problems such as seawater intrusion, stability of coastal engineering structures, beach dewatering for construction purposes, and deterioration of the marine environment. The study area was selected as Kazibacha under Bathiaghata upazila of Khulna district. The surface water data was collected from Institute of water Modeling (IWM) for Rupsha river, Kazibacha point. Whereas two groundwater well such as well21 (N22041.241′, E89031.691′) and well22 (N22041.038′, E89031.604′) were considered for the analysis. Both surface and groundwater data were taken for the duration of 25-03-12 to 31-03-12 with an interval of 10 minutes. The datum for all the data was taken as mean sea level. Two tide components M2 and S2 were used. MATLAB-based software named TIDAL is used in order to analyze the interaction of ground water and surface water based on analytical solutions suggested by Li et. al. (2007). By applying moving average introduced by Serfes (1991) the mean water level of Rupsa river at Kazibacha point was computed as 2.27 m. Based on the software prediction the aquifer properties such as the transmissibility of well21 and well22 was found as 51.8 and 129.5 m2/h respectively and the hydraulic conductivity of well21 and well22 was found as 0.690 m/h and 1.73 m/h respectively which was very close to BWDB report. Moreover the amplitude analysis suggests that the tidal influence of the Rupsha river on the nearby groundwater of the eastern bank might be active within 100 m range. It can further be stated that if the surface water of Rupsha river in any case gets contaminated through salinity intrution or something else then the nearby groundwater within 100 m range might also get effected in different range. Another study is made on salinity intrusion modeling. For this we have choosen the lower Meghna near Raipur upazila (23° 3′ 0″ North, 90° 46′ 0″ East) of Lakshmipur district. By using Visual MODFLOW and secondary data a salinity intrusion model is made. Visual Modflow SEAWAT was used as experimental basis to simulate the salt water transport to shallow aquifers. To remove complexity a constant head boundary was assigned to entire model domain. The model simulation was run for 20 years’ time step. Model result shows a rapid transport of salt for first eight years. After eight years salt transport speed is rather slow but gradually the concentration of salt in the next twelve years (in the time scale of 20 years) will reaches the amount which is alarming compared to national standards. From the analysis it is seen that the salinity may cover almost half the area of the aquifer.

Very low frequency (VLF) emissions are naturally occurring phenomena found in the frequency range 500 Hz to 5 kHz. These emissions include hiss, chorus, discrete, triggered emissions, oscillating tone and riser, periodic and quasi-periodic, etc. At our low latitude Indian station Lucknow (Geomagnetic Latitude 17.60N; Geomagnetic Longitude154.50E; L = 1.10), we have observed some interesting VLF signatures in the form of discrete emissions (risers) and triggered emissions recorded by the automatic whistler detector (AWD) setup. The present paper deals the generation and propagational features of these magnetospheric emissions propogated along different L-values.

Improving on the health indicators in Rajasthan still remains a big challenge for government in spite of all efforts and expenditures. Indicators like Total Fertility Rate, Infant Mortality rate and Maternal Mortality Ratio of the state that is 3.1, 55 and 318 (SRS 2007 – 2009) respectively; are still higher than the National average. The Sex Ratio in the state is 926 (as compared to 940 for the country). Comparative figures of major health and demographic indicators also clearly show that Rajasthan is lagging behind the average national performance. In last two decades Government has launched several initiatives in the field of family welfare and healthcare like Janani Suraksha Yojna, Primary Health Centres, Community Health Centres, Asha Sahyoginis, Jan Mangal Yojna etc. The present study focuses on detecting the key areas that require improvement for proper implementation of the healthcare and family welfare schemes. The study reveals that people have an inclination to avail benefit of the government facilities but several factors were identified as barrios. Apart from illiteracy, lack of awareness and psychographic barriers, the main determinants affecting the utilization of Government facilities included lack of infrastructure, improper disbursement of incentives, lack of trained staff at Health Centres and indifferent behaviour of the healthcare staff. In some of the remote areas and micro interior places, transport facilities also played a significant role. The discussion and recommendations highlight the fact that Government of Rajasthan has to re-design the implementation of its initiatives to yield the desired outcomes.

This paper involves developing a displacement – based compare test module which compares corresponding elements in the test port and production website and generates a failure report in case the elements are misplaced by more than a centimeter. This module can be integrated into existing quality assurance platforms as an additional filter and can also be used as a plug in for location – specific tests by testing teams. Such a feature helps us move closer to the goal of automating the testing process and at the same time, make it more meticulous and rigorous.

Poultry workers who spend most of the time in buildings and therefore experience the greatest amount of exposure while performing various activities is at greatest risk. They do the work which is very labor and hand intensive. This results in musculoskeletal disorders related to injuries and illnesses such as back injury, shoulder and arm injuries, disorders of wrist and back lower extremity. This is mainly due to lack of awareness of the basic principles, poor working condition and reluctance to change existing and traditional work methods and tools. Besides this awkward posture, the work place and psychological factors are also important aspects for workers health and safety. Therefore, the study was undertaken to find out the occupational risks faced by the workers engaged in organized poultry farm. For the present study 60 workers from the two poultry farm i.e. Institutional Poultry Farm and NGO Poultry Farm, Nagla were taken. Research design used was descriptive cum experimental. Purposive sampling was used and the data was gathered by interview method.

Carotenoids and polyphenols are currently the most understood and have received great deal of attention in research. Bryophytes are the oldest land plants and are found growing in a variety of habitats they have leafy or thalloid plant body and have ecological, pharmacological importance.
In the present study carotenoids and polyphenols were estimated from the bryophytes viz. Anthoceros erectus, Astrella angusta, Cyathodium tuberosum, Plagiochasma articulata and Targionia hypophylla grown in Malawali area of Lonavala Pune, a popular hill station which has rich biodiversity Periodical field surveys were carried out and the carotenoids and polyphenols were estimated. It was found that the carotenoid content was maximum in Astrella angusta and minimum in Targionia hypophylla and polyphenol content was highest in Anthoceros erectus as the growth increases.

Developing and implementing retention strategies for retaining skilled employees has the likely of providing large cost reserves to an organisation related with employee retention. However, determining the needs of select groups of skilled employees can be difficult to determine in today’s markets. Through a quantitative predetermined research design, this research used a survey to examine the impact of an inherent retention strategy and the retention of college teaching professionals. Strategy can be defined as a specific method which will detail a set of actions that help an organsation to reach a particular goal. Strategy is a continual process of evaluating the present position of the organisation and the position of where it wants to be at a distant point in time.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed retention strategy of the Institutions to retain their Teaching Professionals. The objectives to be achieved for conducting this study are: To determine if the current implicit retention strategy is effectively retaining the teachers. And To determine the impact of the current implicit retention strategy on the perceptions of the teachers. Quantitative analysis is used to measure the correlation between the data sets of the sample. It is anticipated that nonparametric tests such as Kruskal-Wallis Chi-Square test and One way ANOVA were performed on the data collected. The findings of this research study concluded that a large gap exists between organisation’s pseudo retention strategy and the perception of needs of their teachers.

A rapid growth of any society or community leads to improve the living standard and healthiness of the society. This rapid growth can be achieved by many of the ways. One of these is to accelerate the growth of infrastructure development and this development can be achieved by providing proper channel to the growth of the public and privet infrastructure of the area. Many time this infrastructure development affected by the land available for the development and improper land use. To accelerate the growth of the city with respect to the infrastructure, the TDR is the one of the tool can be used. The Urban and Regional Development Plans Formulation & Implement (URDPFI) Volume–I Explain the definition of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) is a method of land development which separates the development potential of a particular package of land from it and allows its use elsewhere within the defined zones of the city (URDPFI, 2011). This TDR allows the owner of the land to handover the rights of development of the particular land in exchange of another land or money. The one side of TDR is that it directly affects the traders and vendors and other hand indirectly affects the entire local economy which operates in a market setting. Recently Hon. Prime minister declared about the development of 100 smart cities across the India. One can plan these cities with maximum utilization of this effective tool of TDR. Nashik is a religious city with large number of variety of population. This population needs infrastructure for different use in day today life. City is having very limited space to develop because of the water scarcity in summer season. This add additional load on the land at Godavari river bank i.e. old Nashik. So getting the solution on this problem and to providing the infrastructure, the TDR can be the effective tool.

Cloud computing provides services to potentially numerous remote users with diverse requirements. Though predictable performance can be obtained through the provision of carefully delimited services,it is worthful to identify applications in which a cloud might usefully host services that support the composition of more primitive analysis services or the evaluation of complex data analysis requests.In such settings, a service provider must manage complex and unpredictable workloads. This paper describes how utility functions can be used to make explicit the desirability of different workload evaluation strategies, and how optimization can be used to select between such alternatives. The approach is illustrated for workloads consisting of workflows or queries.

Mechanism of Indigo carmine dye adsorption on palm wood cellulose activated carbon (PWCAC) was studied. The use of low cost ecofriendly adsorbent has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dye from aqueous solution. The study is done by batch adsorption techniques. The quantitative adsorption kinetic and equilibrium parameter for indigo carmine dye were studied using uv-visible adsorption spectroscopy. The effect of initial dye concentration ,pH, adsorbent dose, temp The kinetics and erature ,particle size were determine to find the optimal condition for adsorption. The percentage removal of dye was found to be most effective at pH7 and contact time 140 min and at an adsorbent dose 4.8 gm/lit of dye. The study indicates that’s, the percentage removal of dye increases with increasing initial dye concentration, adsorption dose and contact time and attains equilibrium at optimum conditions. The mechanism of adsorption of indigo carmine dye on to palm wood cellulose activated carbon was investigated using pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetics models .The adsorption kinetics was found to follow pseudo first order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption data of indigo carmine dye on PWCAC were analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption model. The result shows that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation. The adsorbent was also characterized by FTIR, EDAX SEM and XRD studies. The results indicates that the PWCAC could be employed as low cost alternative for the removal of dye indigo carmine from aqueous solution.

This paper advocates the operation of a toy car that is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile phone attached to the car. In the course of a call, if any button is pressed, a tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called DTMF (dual-tone-multiple- frequency).The car perceives this DTMF tone with the help of the phone stacked in the car. The received tone is processed by the (ATmega16) microcontroller with the help of DTMF decoder MT887o. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone into its equivalent binary digit and this binary number is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed to take a decision for any given input and outputs its decision to motor drivers in order to drive the motors in forward direction or backward direction or left and right direction. The mobile phone that makes a call to mobile phone stacked in the car act as a remote. For that reason this paper does not require the construction of receiver and transmitter units.

Improvement in Organizational Culture through Cross Cultural Management, Congenial Work Environment, Employees Growth, Human Resources Retention and Development of the Human Capital and ultimately Organizational Development have been some of the most debated topics since last three decades and even of today. The Concepts of Multinational Collaborations and Business Off shoring have introduced new paradigms in the realm of Strategic Human Resources Management. New standards have been set to comply with the global demands which further demand awareness and counseling altogether at the same time when every working professional is aware of Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat. The paper discusses some remedial measures for improvement of Organizational Culture and Work Environment through Training and Development Programmes which would include concept of Behavioural Training, Workplace Counseling, Work Environment Improvement and Awareness creation. Objective of this study is to find out whether the Training Programmes are beneficial in improvement of Work Environment and Organizational Culture. The data will be obtained through questionnaire methods involving the sample size of minimum 100 respondents from manufacturing industries of Bhiwadi Industrial Area of Rajasthan in India.
