 Abstract

Problem of communication between the individual human beings continues to occupy her attention but Anita Desai's major concern is with racial prejudices which alienate human beings from each other. She dramatizes the cultural contrast between India and England. East-West encounter is one of the major themes in Indo-Anglian writings but Desai concentrates on the psychological reactions of the persons facing such situations. The writer retraces her footsteps. Once again the problem is that of adjustment between the husband and the wife, the mother and the children. The heroine Sita in her novel feels that she is leading an inauthentic existence. Her husband Raman lives an ordinary life and he doesn't see anything wrong. They cannot understand the ways of each other. Sita feels, totally ignored by her husband and her children. Sita wants to assert herself but she is unable to do so. Her conflict is between 'yes' and 'no' ultimately she compromises. The problem is projected on a large scale. The characters can neither adjust with each other nor with the world outside. For Anita Desai's characters the problem is not of how to earn a living. Their problem is how to live.

 Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explore the emergence of engendered beauty space, Unisex Beauty Salons in India. The paper sets out discussion on understanding the drivers of unisex salons, their distinctive marketing appeal and potential of Indian entrepreneurs in unleashing the story of unisex salons in the emerging market, India. The study develops case studies of emerging national brands in the unisex salon segment. The study also uses alternative motivation theory derived from optimal distinctiveness theory to understand the adoption of novel beauty space shared by men, women and the third gender in context to the larger Indian society. Interesting insights such as Indian society being majorly male dominated yet, finds greater acceptance of unisex salon service where space is easily shared by all genders. Also, the ease of being served by opposite gender employee at unisex salons is something new to the Indians. The craze to follow popular culture, being part of cosmopolitan lifestyle and ease of visiting the salon with spouse, friends and family combined with the effect of social media and cost-effective business model has pushed the growth of this segment. Right from big players in the organized sector such as Lakhme to cult creators such as Jawed Habib, each one is exploring the new the version in their own way. India has its own take on unisex salons. From the luxurious unisex salon found in the upwardly areas of metro cities to the unisex family salons that exist with partition between the male and female segment. The entrepreneurs who wish to venture into this domain must understand the regional culture that exist in vast country India, and must then design their marketing appeal to capitalize the opportunity in the unisex salon segment.

 Abstract

Oblique stagnation point flow of a Casson nanofluid over a stretching surface is investigated under the influence of variable fluid properties. The effect of variable fluid properties on the flow field is examined by taking a convective boundary condition into account. Momentum, energy and concentration equations are transformed into the non-linear ODE system through suitable similarity transformations and are solved analytically via Semi numerical Technique (OHAM). Effect of pertinent parameters on dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are depicted graphically.

 Abstract

Parotid carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm derived from epithelial cells of the parotid salivary gland. Most salivary gland neoplasms are benign (80%) and another 20% are malignant. The prevalence of parotid squamous cell carcinoma is rarely found to be only 0.3% -1, 5% of all malignancy of the head and neck. Most of the squamous cell carcinoma in the parotid is due to the metastasize of malignancy of the skin and the head (overall risk 1-2%). Diagnostics are made by history taking, clinical examination, ultrasound, and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Definitive diagnosis is obtained by histopathological examination. Treatment of parotid carcinoma is parotidectomy, either superficial, total, or radical and followed by radiotherapy.

Abstract: This study has been undertaken to Determine the Level of Empathy among Undergraduate Occupational TherapyStudents as Related to Gender and Various Academic Years with objective of determining the level of Empathy among undergraduate Occupational Therapy students studying in Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (Deemed to be University)Chennai India .and comparing the level of Empathy among various academic years and gender. The total number of participants consisted of 121 undergraduate Occupational Therapy students of whom 86 were female and 35 were male and the study was conducted for 2 weeks period by using Convenience Sampling. A cross-sectional study using a paper-based survey of the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire was administered to students. In this current study, respondents possess an average level of Empathy and the level of Empathy was found to be equal among all four academic year and was found to be higher among female students. Educational intervention can be adapted to enhance better understanding of Empathy which in turn improves patient care.

 Abstract

This project presents a technique for optimal sizing of hybrid microgrid. To achieve a certain load demand for microgrid system. Hybrid microgrid is made of a Solar photovoltaic system, Wind turbine system and energy storage system. Hybrid microgrids based on renewable energy resources is cost effective. Efficiency and performance will increase. Hybrid microgrid comprise of several parallel connected distributed resources with electronically controlled strategies, which are capable to operate in both islanded and grid connected mode. System reliability and cost effectiveness are major factors considered for designing hybrid microgrid to achieve better power management scheme. Genetic Algorithm scheme is applied to identify the sizing of wind turbines, solar, energy storage system and find the optimal configuration of hybrid microgrid system. The design and optimal operation of hybrid microgrid system has been developed and validated through MATLAB software. The reliability of the microgrid system is modeled based on the Loss of power supply probability. For optimization, genetic algorithm is used to minimize the total cost of the system satisfying some reliability and operation constraints.
