      R. Jayachitra, V. Muthupandi, K. Vijayalakshmi

Abstract: Attenuation characteristics and ultrasonic velocity of duplex stainless steel test coupons held at 1300°C for 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes period and later water quenched were found to be strongly influenced by the microstructural features. Attenuation increases with increase in grain size while longitudinal velocity is influenced by both the austenite content and the grain size. Elastic constants show better correlation with shear wave velocity than longitudinal velocity. However, for bulk modulus correlation coefficient (R) is 0.8 while for other elastic constants (R) value is more than 0.9.

Development of Maintenance Strategy to Improve Performance of Induce Draft Wet Cooling Tower
      Alok Singh, S P S Rajput

Abstract: Throughout the years, the importance of the maintenance management system and their functions has grown rapidly. Cooling towers are used in many process applications in the various industries. Reliability of these towers is crucial. In many cases, redundant towers are installed to ensure a process will not have to be stopped due to a cooling tower failure. The most prevalent cause of cooling tower downtime is failure of bearings, improper water distribution by the nozzles, fan unbalance, failure of the gearbox or associated mechanical components, such as the driveshaft or disc couplings etc. Further, the elimination of these components reduces the losses in the drive system and offers the possibility for improved overall system efficiency. To succeed in the ever-growing competitive global marketplace, it is vital for modem industries to reduce costs related to asset maintenance, repair and replacement, which directly affects the cost of manufactured products. Unplanned downtime results in high maintenance costs. Consequently, improving maintenance efficiency provides substantial benefits to equipments. Cooling tower maintenance considering future uncertainties could improve the efficiencies of the heat transfer processes and as a result, improve the performance of the cooling tower. As a step towards incorporating uncertainties in the cooling tower consideration, this paper presents a cooling tower maintenance methodology including cooling tower trouble shooting with their causes and remedies, preventive maintenance schedule for cooling tower, optimization of cooling tower overhauling activity in maintenance and monitoring technologies. The methodology has been presented, allows the easy maintenance and monitoring of cooling tower with the use of new technology in drive assembly. In this present work we have prepare a preventive maintenance schedule on the basis of their failure and causes. This increases the utilization of the cooling tower and reduces the uneven breakdown maintenance.

Management Training Needs For Micro Women Entrepreneurs
      D.Shanthi Revathi, Dr.Jayasree Krishnan

Abstract: Entrepreneurship amongst women has been a recent development. The entrepreneur is a person who has enterprising quality, takes initiative and establishes an economic activity or enterprise. Starting and operating an enterprise involves considerable risk and effort on the part of the entrepreneurs, particularly in the light of high failure rate. The enterprises started by women are so greatly influenced by the decisions and desires of the members of the family, women entrepreneurs who receive support from family, relatives and other support systems could manage their own enterprises successfully. Entrepreneurial talents and capabilities are latent in all communities but their translation to innovative action depends on appropriate stimuli and environment and these stimuli can be generated trough training. Training women for entrepreneurial and managerial capabilities should be conceived as one of the most important factors for accelerating growth. Efforts are being made along these lines, however they are limited only to bring changes quantitatively but not qualitatively. Hence appropriate training and interventions are needed to bring qualitative changes in the situation. An attempt was made in this study to examine the quality of micro-enterprise management by women in socio-cultural milieu and to project the management training needs of women entrepreneurs.

Configuring an EIGRP based Routing Model
      Er. Ankit Sharma, Er. Sheilly Padda

Abstract: The term routing is used for taking a packet from one device and sending it through the network to another device on a different network. Routers don’t really care about hosts—they only care about networks and the best path to each network. Due to the major role that routing protocol play in computer network infrastructures, special cares have been given to routing protocols with built –in security constraints. In this paper we have shown how we can do routing with an EIGRP based routing protocol. A network model of Cisco routers has been employed in a network simulation software ‘packet tracer’. Eventually an EIGRP routing protocol has been configured and run on a network model. Among all the routing protocols available EIGRP protocol has been mostly used for routing a complex network.

      A. Narender, G.Sathaiah

Abstract: Acrylonitrile based copolymers have a variety of industrial applications and attracted the attention of material researchers with increasing interest in recent years to study their electrical properties with respect to their homopolymers. The dielectric relaxation studies as a function of temperature and frequency of the applied field reveals the information about the nature of segmental motion in polymer chain. A systematic measurement of dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric loss (tanδ) on powder pressed pellets of AN-VP copolymer in composition 50/50 have been carried out in the frequency range 200Hz -100kHz and in the temperature range from room temperature to 180oC, covering through the glass transition temperature Tg. Two sets of relaxation peaks on slight above room temperature and the other slightly above Tg are noticed from tanδ versus temperature curves for different frequencies. The peaks are attributed to β- and α- relaxations. Temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (TCε) is evaluated to understand the nature of the temperature dependence, AC conductivity is evaluated to understand the conduction process. Activation energy is calculated from loss (tanδ) versus temperature curves and logωp versus reciprocal temperature curves. Activation energy is also calculated from Arrehenius plots.

An Approach towards Software Implementation of Interactive Color Transformation Algorithm
      Miss. Aarti K. Masal, Asst. Prof. R.R.Dube

Abstract: In this paper we present a recoloring technique called interactive color transfer which is similar to local color transfer which gives a user more control to define local areas & match the local areas in order to perform color transfer. This paper presents a fast and simple interactive algorithm based on local color statistical analysis which is used to impose one image’s color characteristics on another. Here focus on orthogonal color space i.e. lαβ color space without correlation between the axes is given. Target image’s color influence mask is prepared. It is a mask that specifies what parts of target image will be affected according to selected color range. After that target image is recoloured in lαβ color space according to prepared color influence map. In the lαβ color space luminance and chrominance information is separate so it allows making image recoloring optional. The basic color transformation uses stored color statistics of source and target image. Our paper presents an approach towards the software implementation of the proposed technique. The proposed algorithm is implemented in JAVA object oriented language.

Extraction of user specified web knowledge using Spatial Data Mining
      Priyanka Tiwari

Abstract: Nowadays the World Wide Web has becoming one of the most comprehensive information resources. It probably, if not always, covers the information need for any user. Those differences make it challenging to fully use Web information in an effective and efficient manner. Web mining is the application of data mining techniques to extract knowledge from web data including web documents, hyperlinks, log usage of website etc. In this paper we extract data from web using spatial data mining. Spatial data mining is the process of trying to find patterns in geographic data. Spatial data mining is the application of data mining techniques. Spatial data mining follows along the same functions in data mining, with the end objective to find patterns in geography. In this paper we provide an introduction of spatial data mining as well as web. Then we focus on how data is extracted from web using some preprocessing techniques or some steps. It describes a method to extract useful information from a web page using spatial data mining. We are extracting hyperlinks and email from single and multiple websites that’s why it is using spatial data mining because in spatial mining data is extracted from different locations. Different websites will have different web servers means different locations. This method includes some preprocessing steps to extract information. That extracted information will be knowledge.

Explore the Impact of Workplace Spirituality on Motivations for Earnings Management-An Empirical Analysis
      Dr. Amalendu Bhunia, Sri Amit Das

Abstract: This paper attempts to examine the influences on motivations for earnings management from the perspectives of workplace spirituality. The findings suggest that workplace spirituality is a new perception of individuals toward their lives and selves under the influence of the workplace. Such influence further affects the individuals on the acknowledgement of self-group relationships, and the actions of individuals. Therefore, spiritual awareness shows a mediating effect between organizational spirituality and earnings management. Moreover, the mediating effect is greater than the direct effect of organizational spirituality on the motivations of earnings management. In addition, this paper proves that there are no significant variances in the awareness of workplace spirituality among people who have different religious beliefs. Most literatures address earnings management from the perspectives of audits or business ethics, and suggest that moral education is the best way to cope with this issue. However, a sole reliance on the awaking and realization of the individual ethics may not be sufficient to amend current chaotic situations regarding earnings management. In fact, earnings management, in essence, is highly relevant to the opportunistic behaviors of management.

      Sudesh Gandhi, M. Dilbaghi, M. Mehta, Neelam Pruthi

Abstract: The study was conducted on 20 farm workers to identify the occupational health hazards in threshing operation. Four different protective masks were given and tested on various parameters. Respondents reported respiratory health problems which were mainly due to heat and organic dust in the surroundings. All respondents reported irritation in eyes and throat followed by nose (85.0%) and ears (75.0%). Musculo-skeletal problems were reported showing severe to very severe discomfort in lower arms (m.s.=3.8), upper back (3.6) and upper arms (3.4). Overall discomfort score (ODS) was 7.6 depicting high level of discomfort. Peak expiratory flow rate was reduced by 6.6 % depicting reduced capacity of lungs after day long work in polluted environment. Hood mask was highly acceptable as it showed lowest breathing resistance. Leakage of dust from sides and rate of sweating was medium. Hence, use of hood mask would be helpful to achieve the ergonomics objective of reducing health problems and improving performance.

Software Support for Xml Schema Design Patterns and Pattern Matching of Xml Schemas
      R. BHUVANESWARI, K. KALAI SELVI

Abstract: In current era, XML schema design patterns are used in vast extent to exchange data and to employ the modules for reusability. XML as in plain text format can be transmitted between different applications with different platforms, operating systems and browsers. Design patterns play important role in reusability of already existing solutions. The different XML schema design patterns namely GOF, abstract factory, template, singleton, MVP, MVC are used in varied applications. Softwares like Rational Rose support the design patterns in UML models which in turn can be converted to XML schemas. Rational Rose also supports comparison of two schemas. Softwares like NetBeans IDE and .NET also support XML schema design patterns. This paper focuses on conversion of XML schema design pattern into java code, so that a string can be used from client interface to pattern match the XML schema in servers. This reduces the whole XML schema or UML class diagram to be transmitted from client. XML schema can be converted into java code with help of EMF Framework and other aided plug inns which help in easy searching of existing design patterns for reuse.

Acute kidney injury and paralytic ileus- An unusual presentation of hypothyroidism
      M.L. Patel, Rekha Sachan, K. K. Gupta

Abstract: A 55 year old male patient, known case of hypothyroidism since last four years was admitted to our nephrology unit in a state of drowsiness and confusion. He had paralytic ileus and impaired renal functions at the time of admission. On routine investigations hypokalemia was present, which likely contributed to the paralytic ileus and together with dehydration had lead to renal injury. Nonetheless, hypothyroidism would have been the principal precipitant of both these complications. Both paralytic ileus and acute kidney injury improved with thyroxine replacement.

Searching Technique in Retrieving Software Reusable Components from a Repository
      Kudikala Mahesh Babu, Kudikala Sravana Kumari, Pulluri Srinivas Rao

Abstract: Software engineering is the establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to obtain economically software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines. These engineering principles are frequently getting changed in order to serve various software development organizations. And all the teams in an organization will follow only one process which is running in their respective company. So the components developed for a software product may be useful for them if they develop similar product in future. Even though the components of a developed product related to one firm, else’s teams may require those components. So the components that are identified as re-usable are stored in a repository so that other teams can use them to serve in to get quality product. But to get the re-usable components from a repository we need to search so that we can get our needed component. In this paper, we are introducing a simple searching technique that may effectively retrieve required component from a repository. Here we are trying a web-based search to retrieve the desired component. For this, we are also using test case driven technique in order to meet the required component (means fits our purpose) to be appear in the resulted search based upon its behavior etc.

Enhancing the features of Intrusion Detection System by using machine learning approaches
      Swati Jaiswal, Neeraj Gupta, Hina Shrivastava

Abstract: The IDS always analyze network traffic to detect and analyze the attacks. The attack detection methods used by these systems are of two types: anomaly detection and misuse detection methods. Intrusion detection (ID) is a type of security management system for computers and networks. An ID system gathers and analyzes information from various areas within a computer or a network to identify possible security breaches, which include both intrusions and misuse. An Intrusion detection system is designed to classify the system activities into normal and abnormal. ID systems are being developed in response to the increasing number of attacks on major sites and networks. Intrusion detection is the act of detecting unwanted traffic on a network or a device. Several types of IDS technologies exist due to the variance of network configurations. In this paper, we provide you information about the methods that uses a combination of different machine learning approaches to detect a system attacks.

Struggle for iron: a key attribute for combating Multi Drug Resistance in human pathogen Candida albicans
      Saif Hameed and Zeeshan Fatima

Abstract: Continuous deployment of antifungals in treating infections caused by dimorphic opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans has led to the emergence of drug resistance resulting in cross-resistance to many unrelated drugs, a phenomenon termed as Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR). Although there is reasonable understanding of major factors which contribute to MDR mechanisms, it appears unavoidable to consider novel MDR mechanisms. The ability of pathogenic fungi, including opportunists like Candida albicans, to sense and become accustomed to changes in the host environment is essential for their survival and confers the basis of their success as dreadful pathogen. Recent findings suggest that in addition to the classical MDR mechanisms, existence of other novel mechanisms controlling MDR cannot be nullified. Improved knowledge of such mechanisms could facilitate the development of novel therapies to combat these intransigent infections. One such significant environmental factor that C. albicans must respond to is iron limitation since they encounter diverse such anatomical sites during the establishment of infection within the host. Considering the importance of C. albicans being the fourth most common cause of hospital acquired infectious disease, this review focuses on gaining insights of new regulatory mechanism controlling MDR in C. albicans as a response towards iron deprivation.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a green tea polyphenol suppresses bacilli-induced augmented expression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 85B and proinflammatory TNF-α in human monocytes
      Zeeshan Fatima, Saif Hameed and Najmul Islam

Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), the hallmarks of tuberculosis, are directly induced in human monocytes by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). We have previously shown that the expression of 85B in MTB infected monocytes correlates positively with both the amount of secreted TNF-α and subsequent mycobacterial growth. In this study, we show the augmented expression of 85B in MTB and TNF-α at both the gene and protein levels in MTB-infected monocytes were suppressed by EGCG, a green tea polyphenol, in dose-dependent manner. Of notable importance, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of EGCG was mediated by inhibition of NF-κB pathway. Moreover, EGCG enhances the antioxidant potential of monocytes by ameliorating the intramonocyte sIFN-γ levels, glutathione levels and glutathione peroxidase activity, which correlates with the down regulation of TNF-α in MTB-infected monocytes. Taken together, this study provides the first novel insight into the possible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant role of EGCG that can be exploited in tuberculosis management.
