 Abstract

The main objective of this project is to describe some of the important topics related to corrosion prevention in R.C. Elements by Nitro Zinc, Rust remover and polyester resin. Phosphate coatings have a wide field of applications in industry. The aim of the present work is to control the corrosion i.e ion concentration in the phosphate bath in order to improve the quality and adhesive properties of Nitro zinc coatings in steel. Rust remover soak quickly dissolves rust from metal and restores surfaces to bare metal without scraping, chipping or scrubbing. It removes light rust, leave the parts in 1-3 hours. The term polyester is typically reserved for acidic and hydroxyl functional polyester resin. The family of polyester comprises all polymers with ester functional groups in the polymer backbone. Therefore the chemistry of the structural units connecting the ester groups can be varied over an immense broad. The application of Nitro -Zinc helps the formation of thin inert layer on the metal surface to be protected. Material for anti�corrosion paint is used in reinforcements. Nitro zinc has a large crystalline structure. The large crystalline is an excellent medium for holding oil and adhering to paint. The phosphate also improves lubricity. Appearance is gray. The coating shows satisfactory corrosion resistance for high durability in concrete structure.

 Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the trend of dividend payout ratio and the factors which influence the dividend decision of the selected Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies during the period 2010-11 to 2017-18. The sample size of the study consists of six FMCG companies which have been selected by following a purposive sampling procedure from the list of top 20 companies in Bombay Stock exchanges (BSE) based on market capitalization on date 31.12.2019. The finding of the study reveals that the significant increasing trend of Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) associated with Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) and Marico Limited (ML) while another two companies like ITC Limited (ITCL) and Britannia Limited (BL) are a significant decline trend of DPR. Moreover, the study shows that the failure to draw any definite relationship between DPR and selected determinants of DPR. The study also shows that Previous year Dividend payout Ratio (PDPR), Current Ratio (CR), and Tax Ratio (TR) have a significant joint impact on the DPR of HUL, ITCL, DIL, and CPL during the study period.

 Abstract

In the middle and late 90s there was revolution in communication technologies like internet, mobile/cell phones etc. Tremendous improvement has taken place in the Indian banking sector because of the IT revolution. All the private and foreign banks have gone for 100 percent computerization. At a rapid fast, the government owned nationalized banks are also improving their number of computerized branches. This results in faster transaction, transparency in operation. At present many banks switch over to core banking. At present banks are implementing IT applications in different areas but banks are not getting real benefits due to inadequate governance of IT. This research is helpful to banks for knowing problems in IT implementation and its governance. It helps bank management to performing and transforming Information Technology to meet present and future demands of the business and customers.

 Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a Speaker Identification System which can recognize speakers by their acoustic characteristics of speech. The proposed system would be a text independent system means the user is free to speak any word or sentence. Speaker recognition is the process of automatically recognizing who is speaking on the basis of individual information include in speech waves. This technique makes it possible to use the speech�s voice to verify their identity and control access to services such as voice dialing, banking by telephone, telephone shopping, database access services, information services, voice mail, Forensic speaker recognition ,security control for confidential information areas, and remote access to computers. Wavelet Transform particularly Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used in order to extract the vocal characteristics of the speakers in speech signal whereas KNearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm is used for feature matching, which shows a very much improvement in the identification rate. The feature extraction is done by six levels wavelet decomposition and these features are extracted from wavelet coefficients by mean, standard deviation and ratios between them.

ABSTRACT The reader of fiction in contemporary Indian English literature is incomplete without the contribution of Chetan Bhagat , if not mentioned. Being an immortal name in this field; he has acclaimed a wide reputation among the youth and has enriched the Indian literature with appropriate use of humour and satire through his fictions. He is on the rise among the younger generation and has been titled as the biggest selling Indian novelist in India�s history Every aspects of life and society i.e. problems, hopes ,aspirations of the youth , love ,sex and marriage etc. have been reflected through appropriate use of humour and satire. In 2 States, a fictional version of love story he has tried his best level to raise his voice against so called traditional and orthodox views on marriage .In true sense Chetan Bhagat has revolutionized the ideas against the malady lingering and deep seated in the Indian society and that afflict the society at various levels of life and living in terms of comic mode of burlesque and satire.

 Abstract

This paper presents the investigation of power generation using the combination of heat and thermo-electric generators. Most of the time heat from thermal energy dissipated as waste heat to the environment. The related problems of global warming and dwindling fossil fuel supplies has led to improving the efficiency of any industrial process being a priority. This waste heat can be utilized further for power generation. Two promising technologies that were found to be useful for this purpose were thermoelectric generators and heat pipes. Therefore, this project involved making a concept model of electricity generation by thermoelectric generators using heat pipes and simulated hot air

 Abstract

The distribution and structure of the neurosecretory cells of the brain, suboesophageal gangalion and other ventral gangalia with the associated neurohaemal organs in millipede, based on cytomorphological characteristics and trophography in the millipede, Anoplodesmes tanjoricus,their are three different types of cells A, B and C present in dense neurosecretory material in the brain. The A Cells are divided into subtypes A1, A2, A3, A4 : and C cells into C1 and C2.The data on changes in the neurosecretory cells of cerebral gangalion ,suboesophageal and ventral gangalion of the millipede acclimated to low temperature (120C and 100C) revels decrease in neurosecretory intensity of A, B and C types cells. They are differentiated in A1,A2, A3, A4 and C1 , C2 after exposure of millipede to low thermal temperature there is absence of neurosecretory material or if present,it is in traces. Nuclear diameter shows decrease and neurosecretory intensity was reduced. The present investigation experimentally verifies the course of the neurosecretory material in the depletion at lower temperature therefore neurosecretory intensity showed prominent changes, probably due to the inactivity of enzymes than exposed to upper low temperature (120C-100C).

 Abstract

Tortoise beetle (Aspidomorpha milliaris) are found feeding on leaf of Ipomoea fistulosa, (I. carnea subsp. fistulosa), commonly called in Austrelia as bush morning-glory. Ipomoea. fistulosa is among the most dominant and harmful of the weeds that have infested the world�s tropical and sub-tropical region. It is toxic to animals and human due to containing poisonous chemicals such as wainsonin and calystegine. However Tortoise beetle (Aspidomorpha milliaris) can digest these chemical proteins. It has been already reported that two species of bacteria as Klebsiella and Citrobacter found in gut that might be responsible for digestion of toxic ipomoea leaves.
