 Abstract

Shakespearean sonnet themes explore the ideas of love, aging, beauty, time, lust, practical obligations and feelings of incompetence. These themes emerge from Shakespeare's descriptions of the relationship between his characters. They are also evident in his use of narrative language and explanations of the speakers internal feelings. Within Shakespeare's poetry is the idea that beauty disappears with time, making a person less desirable and somewhat depressed about his own existence. The idea behind one of the most prolific Shakespearean sonnet themes is that children should be born to maintain beauty. Since the ability to maintain an ideal physique and set of appealing looks is impossible, the only hope is to create the next generation that will inherit those features. Time is seen as an enemy to vitality, value and physical identity. Another of the Shakespearean sonnet themes focuses on the idea of conflict between real love and simple sexual desire. In the poet's view, there is often confusion between which is which. Lust can disguise itself as love and is easily mistaken for it. A temptation exists to pursue that which is visually enticing, rather than taking the time to discover genuine feelings.

 Abstract

The main aim of this research is to examine how neural networks can describe soil behavior under situations of uniaxial tension. Geotechnical engineering issues have been effectively modelled using artificial neural networks (ANNs) over the past several years. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a kind of artificial intelligence (AI) that aim to replicate the brain and nervous system of humans [1]. Most geotechnical engineering issues may be effectively modelled with ANNs. The goal of this work was to use ANNs to figure out how much dirt is buried under the surface. Depending on the size of the research area, it may be necessary to conduct a number of experiments and drill a number of boreholes in order to evaluate the soil layer structure [1]. The near-surface geology may be better understood by learning more about the qualities of the soil layers between boreholes. A neural network (ANN) learns from instances of data in order to grasp the nuances of functional data correlations even when the underpinnings of such interactions are obscure or difficult to understand on the physical level.

 Abstract

The agile manufacturing paradigm was developed about a decade ago in response to the rapidly changing 'new economy' and as a foundation for regaining global competitiveness. Agility is widely recognized as a developing concern in today's manufacturing industry as a means of responding to rapidly changing market conditions. The use of an agile manufacturing system has proven to be effective in gaining a competitive edge. Modern manufacturing facilities demand smaller lot sizes, faster time to market, and lower manufacturing costs. Agile manufacturing techniques are desirable in such circumstances. While agility can imply different things to different businesses in different situations. Agile manufacturing is a 21st-century manufacturing concept that incorporates technology, organizational techniques, systems, and people. Improves the organization's ability to respond to rapid change and an increasingly unstable economy by going beyond traditional techniques. Agile manufacturing can deliver exactly what clients want, when and how they want it at a low cost. The major goal of this study is to show the numerous application and methodology of agile manufacturing in the research fields that are conceivable in the development of the agile manufacturing age.

 Abstract

Total Quality Management (TQM) has been a widely researched area, and numerous researchers have highlighted the benefits of implementing TQM philosophy in organisations. TQM practices in organisations have advanced over time and have significant impact on organisational performance. The study attempts to gain insight of the nature of practice of Total Quality Management and to understand the relationship between organisational performance and practice of TQM in the ISO 9000 certified manufacturing organisations in Kerala. Variables related to TQM and Quality performance and Organisational performance in the Kerala state scenario are identified in the light of review of literature and consultation from experts. The changes in the practice of TQM in the organisations after the acquisition of ISO 9000 certification is analysed. Data is collected from managers in ISO 9000 Certified manufacturing organisations in public and private sector. Findings reveal that there is improvement in practice of TQM in manufacturing organisations after getting ISO 9000 certification. A causal model on relationship of the practice of TQM and organizational performance in ISO 9000 certified manufacturing organisations in Kerala is put forth. The study revealed that there exists significant relationship between TQM practice and ISO 9000 certification among the manufacturing organisations in Kerala. Suggestions for the better implementation of TQM in ISO 9000 certified manufacturing organisations are formulated.

 Abstract

Poverty and food security are complex and multidimensional in character and both are interlinked. Eradication of poverty and provision of food security is indispensible for economic growth and development. The objective of the study is to focus on three important aspects of food security namely, -role of public distribution system, prevention of food wastage and scope of technology/bio-technology in achieving the objective of food security to eradicate poverty. Public distribution is corrupt and inefficient therefore, efforts should be made to eliminate corruption (36% of cereals are sold in black market). Food wastage is inevitable because of traditional practices and methods which have strong resistance to change. Technology in particular bio-technology is giving us hope by adding nutritional value and stimulating agricultural production besides conservation of natural resources. So food security is an ambition to be achieved in the years to come.

 Abstract

Incorporation of biosynthesis technique into nanotechnology is a significant step in nanoscience research because this green protocol of synthesizing nanoparticles is cost effective, quite safe and eco-friendly compared to the conventional chemical and physical methods. For these reasons, in recent years, this green and bio-based route for the preparation of nanoparticles has gained much attention, and many metal and metal oxide nanoparticles have been prepared by using this method in which plant source, bacteria, fungus and some biological materials are used. In this paper it is reported that the biosynthesis of Tin Oxide nanoparticles (SnO2-NPs) using guava leaf exact. Inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposites are synthesized by dispersing nanosized SnO2 in the conducting polypyrrole matrix. The morphology of crystalline phase of nanocomposite was determined from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra. The average size of SnO2 nanoparticles was in the range of 15 nm and the observed morphology was spherical. Complex impedance and dielectric permittivity of SnO2-PPY nanocomposite have been investigated as a function of frequency and temperature at different compositions. The dielectric permittivity 3800 is observed. Large value of permittivity is well described by Maxwell-Wagner polarization. Broad and asymmetric dielectric spectra are analyzed by Harviliak - Nigami relaxation function.
