 Abstract

The capital market is an important constituent of the financial system. It is the market both debt and equity for long term funds. Generally, it is mainly deals with financial assets, excluding currency. The financial assets comprises shares, mutual funds, bonds, pension funds, fixed deposits, insurance policies, provident fund and derivatives. The Indian Stock Exchanges are well regulated, functioning smoothly and it is the indication of healthy capital market. The financial markets and financial institutions are two mechanisms of channel from savings to investment. The financial market score over financial institutions in the allocation efficiency, as they allocate savings to those investments, which have potential to yield higher returns. This inevitably leads to higher returns to savers on their savings and higher productivity on investments to enterprises. Investment culture refers to the attitudes, perceptions, and willingness of the individuals and institutions in placing their savings in various financial assets, more popularly known as securities. A study on savings behavior and Investment preferences of individual investors which includes the investors� perceptions and preferences. It assumes a most significance in the formulation of policies for the development and regulation of security markets . This study only confines to Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh and 300 samples were selected who are living in rural areas. In this context, the researcher has collected data on their behavior, awareness of saving and investment pattern in selected study area.

 Abstract

One of the major sensory organ of a human body is eye. Optic Nerve is the part of the eye that carries visual information from eye to brain which is located at the very back of the eye. It is a part of an eye that gets injured when eye pressure rises, if left untreated the patient may lose vision. This work aims at developing a system which will recognize the presence of Optical Nerve Head damage, identifies the area of damage and finally the percentage of damage in the nerve head by utilizing the OCT image of an eye of a person. The main reason for using OCT images is that these images give us in depth information about the eye, when compared to other methods.

 Abstract

Abstract In India, the twenty-first century has brought in its wake various transformations in cultural, political, religious, economic and social domains as the impact of modernity and globalization is manifested. But, these changes have also led the generation to follow the wrong doings which has led into trouble of their own alongwith the family members and the society. Modernity and globalization impact all other nation as well, the process of �diffusion, homogenization and integration� (Sivaramakrishnan and Agarwal 8) via the merging of regional and national boundaries. Hence, each and every individual in India today, has become �the subject� of development and modernization in danger of reaching the destination of erasing the cultural and regional boundaries, at the micro level. Indian literature plays an important role in creating an awareness of the necessity of transformations and emphasizes the cause and consequences, in different contexts, of these transitions. It also shows how these changes affect an individual. As a part of such an endeavour, this paper attempts to discuss the transformation of religious and regional identities of the orthodox Brahmin communities in India, and the disadvantages of the changes with the focus on Anita Nair�s Ladies Coupe This paper analyses on the important character of the novel, Akhila, a spinster, to evince the extrication of women from their entanglement in conventional roles and to what extent she has changed her personality. The narrative of this novel depicts how Akhila being born in a traditional orthodox Brahmin family dismantle and subvert the firmly established conservative brahminical values, ethics and customs to converge with the changing egalitarian modern society of India but had led herself into being a prostitute which is a curse to herself being born in a Brahmin family.

 Abstract

Disruptive technologies in recent education system cannot be denied. Technology transformation in education system provides students a cost effectively scale education. This paper reviews the research on the subject of disruptive technologies in education and found that many disruptive technologies are there such as Online resources, internet of things, virtual reality, artificial intelligence etc. that have important impact on higher education system around the world. These technologies are now widely used to support learning and teaching. Use of ICT helps students to reach the resources which they need in their learning process. Online delivery of different courses such as MOOCs at lower cost makes it easy for employees also to combine work and training. Mobile technology is also useful not only for learners but also for teachers to connect with the students from anywhere, anytime that makes learning more collaborative and effective. However some studies found some negative results also as huge investment is needed to implement these techniques in higher education system.

 Abstract

Calcium hexaferrites substituted with lanthanum ions having general chemical formula CaLaxFe12-xO19 where x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 were successfully synthesized by the standard ceramic method. The aim of the present work is to synthesize calcium ferrite by standard ceramic method and to investigate its structural, electrical properties. The crystalline powder of substituted calcium hexaferrite with chemical composition CaLaxFe12-xO19, have been chosen for their studies on structural and electric properties. The prepared powder was characterized by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). XRD shows hexagonal Magnetoplumbite (M) type structure having unit cell determination �a� and �c� are 5.821 � and 22.212�

 Abstract

Three-port dc to dc converter operated smart electric vehicle (EV) charging station using stand-Alone Photovoltaic system can be said as the first step taken in the direction of the Electric Vehicle area, in terms of the charging for the battery of the Vehicle. System efficiency and cost effectiveness are most importance for photovoltaic (PV)system. The theoretical analysis is conducted to analyze the operating modes followed by the MATLAB/SIMULATION and the analysis of the simulation results provides a clear platform for the hardware model for the converter. And that can be verified by the 10-Watt prototype model and by performing all the critical modes of operation with the hardware model the results can be achieved and which can be upto the mark with the simulation results. Therefore, it can be concluded that when grid is not available for the charging purpose of the EV the Stand-Alone PV system with the Three Port DC-DC converter can be a feasible solution. That can be said as the first milestone towards the new era of the EV and its frequent requirement of charging.

 Abstract

Lung Cancer detection at an earlier stage has become a very important and needy one for a human being. Early detection helps several patients with the best chance of recovery. The features which are used for the detection of Lung Cancer are collected from the Computed Tomography (CT scan) images. Deep Learning is an emerging technique thatallows us to increase the accuracy of the result. In this paper, we have implemented cancer detection using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). It shows promising results in terms of accuracy (94%) while comparing with other techniques.
