 Abstract

Food production has to increase from 247 to 494 m MT (AD 2050) to feed the ever increasing Population of India. Increase in cultivated area will not add much to this requirement. (Possible increase only 2 m ha from the present 143 m ha). Converting rain-fed crops to irrigation cover (Partial or Full) is the only way out (79 to 146 m ha). Gross Water Requirement increases to 1200 BCM from the present 700 BMC. Available water remain at 1137 BCM. Water deficit will force us to take extreme measures by 2030-2050. Before that happens conservation of water would help us survive better. Irrigation is the largest water user (+ 83%). Reducing water use in irrigation by increasing use efficiency will generate more water for irrigating more land area. Rice is the most important global food crop. Year-to-year fluctuations in its production have a direct bearing on food security and on price inflation in the world market. Given its continuing population growth, India should be producing 1.7 million tonnes of additional rice every year to ensure national food security (Dass and Chandra, 2013). Hence, there is a need to increase sustainably the yields and productivity of rice cultivation, doing this to the extent possible with reduced inputs and with less exploitation of natural resources to feed the increasing global population. This is a challenge for rice-growing countries around the world. Integration of Drip irrigation technology to the field of rice cultivation is the best way to achieve higher productivity with least water use. The results of studies on the justification of the combination of controllable factors of growth and development of rice, providing the usage of drip irrigation to obtain yields 5, 6 and 7 t/ha of grain are observed. During the investigations were determined the reaction norms of periodically watered rice on the various options for the water regime of the soil and to ensure their regulations irrigation, fertilizer application rates. The proposed irrigation technology can reduce the cost of irrigation water in the cultivation of rice in the 2.0-5.6 times in comparison with the traditional, and bring the total water consumption of this culture to a biologically sound one.

 Abstract

Indian Capital market have shown tremendous growth in the post Liberalization era. It remains one of the most resilient globally and poised to be one of the top destinations for domestic and global business to expand and invest into. It promotes economic growth through the mobilization of long term saving and the savings get invested in the economy for productive purpose. The capital market deals with capital. Capital Market is generally understood as a market for long term funds and investments in long term instruments available in this market. Capital markets mean the market for all the financial instruments, short term and long term as so commercial industrial and government paper. Generally for the economic growth of a country an investment plays very important role. People expect best returns by investing some portion of their hard earned income into stock market such as shares, debentures, bonds etc,. More risk is associated with investment in stock market. For the protection of such investors interest and to safe guard their hard earned money a regulatory authority officially formed by Government of India, named as Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). This research paper aims to gain insight into the role of SEBI as a regulatory authority and its impact on Indian Capital market. The study is descriptive in nature. Thus the findings have been made by analysis in order to know the role and impacts of SEBI in Indian Capital market.

 Abstract

Present paper is devoted to study wind pressure on two high-rise building models. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was used in three-dimensional (3D). Utilizing finite volume method to predict the wind pressures on tall building using specific boundary conditions. RNG k-? turbulence model was used in the program to consider the wind turbulence for two models. Current numerical approach was verified by comparison the wind pressure results for different velocity with experimental wind tunnel tests for two models. This valid CFD model was applied in the simulation of the wind analysis for two models, which is located in Baghdad City, Iraq. In addition, the design pressure of the two models was compared. It is connected that wind pressure results for wind tunnel test have a good agreement with the wind pressure results of CFD for different velocity for two models.

 Abstract

Carbon nano-fibers (CNFs), which possess properties like large surface area, unique physical, mechanical properties, inherent high-aspect-ratio, hollow nano-geometry is studied for its hydrogen adsorption capacity. For enhancing the H-storage, CNF prepared from plants as precursor is decorated with Ni nanoparticles, as it offers hydrogen spill-over effect. The hydrogen adsorption isotherms were measured by a static volumetric technique using Sievert�s apparatus at ambient temperature. Ni NP decorated CNF showed not only increased surface area as compared to CNF (i.e. from 504.1 to 1080.8 m2g-1) and pore volume (from 0.2973 to 0.4106 cc/g) but also nearly doubled the hydrogen Wt% adsorption capacity i.e. from 3.25 Wt% to 6.05 Wt%.

 Abstract

Hypertension is the most common medical condition nowadays and it is the main disease the predisposes to other Cardiovascular, renal, cerebrovascular diseases. This study is a prospective observational study aimed at knowing the patients knowledge and awareness of hypertension and also focused on the assessment of evidence based medical treatment of the hypertension using a questionnaire and literature review. About 60% of the management of hypertensive condition, evidence based medicine method was practiced still needed to apply more. Subject�s Knowledge and awareness on hypertension is comparatively less. Thus management of the conditions shouldn�t be confined to the treatment plan but also on the subject�s knowledge and awareness on the condition is essential for effective medication adherence and improving quality of life.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT Inclusive education also seen as an international agenda, partly running parallel to the objective of education for all ( Srivastwa 2003; Miles and Singal 2010).India also has been trying to incorporate the international commitments into its domestic law and has developed its own policy related to education for children with disabilities ( Sing A.K 2008).Autism disorders are life-long neurodevelopment disabilities with onset before 36 months and are characterized by: Impairments in reciprocal social interactions and in verbal and non-verbal communication skills, stereotyped behavior, interests and activities etc. This disorder represents an abnormality of brain development and function, appearing within the first three years of life. Although the detailed causal mechanism(s) are not known, autism is likely to have multiple etiologies including genetic factors. A range of studies have found that in 10 - 37% of cases, it may be an associated medical condition (e.g. tuberous sclerosis)In the late 1970s, there were a few centers in India that were diagnosing children with autism. A study conducted in the mid-1990s found that many of the older adolescents and young adults who received a diagnosis of autism could be traced to just a few professionals, and those with diagnoses before 1980 had received the diagnosis from abroad (Daley, 2004). Much of the diagnosis was dependent on individual professionals, and knowledge amongst the wider medical community remained limited. In 2000, a boy with autism from Bangalore, Tito Mukkhopadhaya, published his first book, �Beyond the Silence: My life, the world and autism�. The book includes writings from when he was between eight and eleven years old, which brought international attention to Tito and his mother�s methods for teaching him. Recently, internet list servers have expanded the Diasporas of Indian families with autistic children to dozens of countries around the world. Due to limited studies and literature available in this area of education, through this paper I am trying to gain attention of educators for inclusive education for Autism in India.

 Abstract

This paper deals with the integration of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Value Engineering (VE) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) planning process. Quality function Deployment enhances the product/service performance on the basis of customer�s requirements, whereas Value engineering focuses on the reduction of product/service costs without decreasing its quality or performance. The integration of QFD and VE both will lead to the decrease of costs and improvements of product/service or performance. In this paper firstly a conceptual idea of integrating these two techniques is provided and after that its implementation procedures are described in detail. The integration of quality function deployment and value engineering was analyzed in the product planning process. For this aim a conceptual model was developed. The application stages were also clarified. In fact the planned Model was an QFD & V.E integration ,in which the whole QFD process is not completely implemented rather its first two phases ,that is the product projection and product planning are carried and a list of results along with their value is got from the house of quality. The V.E process is not implemented completely either, rather the solutions and their relative values are entered from the second quality house into the second phase of Value engineering .During the design stage, lot of information is gathered and analyzed to back up the decision making process which will lead to the synthesis of products. The objective of the paper is focusing on mainly two things. Firstly, I seek to take the QFD and VE methodology one step further and apply it to propose a stakeholder-based design for the NICU facilities. Secondly, I demonstrate the outcomes of the QFD and VE methodology in the NICU design. I have started with the NICU not only because of its importance but also for its complexity which makes it a challenging quest. I have then implemented the House of Quality (HoQ) methodology in order to obtain an improved design over the existing ones. In doing so, I have made use of some of the most commonly used international standards (IS). This paper intends to give a more balanced review of Quality Function Deployment and Value Engineering that shows enough depth to be valuable to researchers as well as enough scope to provide for the readers.

 Abstract

Briquette making machine is designed to make burnable bio waste into desirable size logs by using appreciable reins as binder. These logs can further be used as fuel. Bio waste involves dry leaves; saw dust, rice husk and even some household waste. Usually, bio wastes are dumped in large landfills where they are decomposed. During the decomposition these waste release many gases like CARBON MONO OXIDE (CO), which are hazardous to the environment and human. But burning them will affect the nature much as they undergo complete combustion releasing CARBON DI OXIDE (CO2), which is less poisonous compared to carbon mono oxide. It is even easy to handle and low cost.
