 Abstract

Construction industry in developing countries like India is often characterized with low productivity and poor quality. And since in last few decades there has been significant rise in customer awareness towards quality. Construction industry therefore understood the effectiveness of quality management systems and the importance of quality improvement and need of excellent performance. One such key innovation of Six Sigma involves absolute professional strategies of quality management functions for improving the process in construction. Six-sigma was firstly introduced by assembling industry in the 1980s and became popular as a process improvement method. Anything which does not meet the requirement is deemed to be called as �Defect� in construction industry and here Six Sigma plays a pivotal role in meeting the quality requirements. This paper describes the implementation of Six Sigma strategies in Construction project to improve the quality of output of a process and customer satisfaction. The basic theory methodology of Six Sigma principles, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) and tools were used in each stage. A case study of Row housing construction was selected to which Six Sigma principles are to be applied. Questionnaires survey was conducted from the Site Engineers, Contractors, Consultants and Project managers. Later, based on the findings will suggestions of proper training, management support and minor changes that are required in current work procedure which would help to improve the quality and ultimately enhancing the customer satisfaction which is of prime importance were given.

 Abstract

Life in the twenty-first century is very fast and many times knowingly or unknowingly we pollute our environment by using non-renewable energy resources in vehicles. We are excessively dependent on non-renewable energy resources we need to search possible chances in the alternative of fossil fuels in vehicles. In exploring the possible chances we get one is a compressed air car in which the engine runs on the compressed air. A compressed air engine is a type of pneumatic actuator that makes useful work by compressed air. A compressed air vehicle is triggered by an air engine using compressed air which is stored in an air tank. In place of mixing fuel with air combust it in the engine to steer pistons with hot expanding gases. A compressed air car utilizes the expansion of compressed air to steer the piston. The compressed air car is an unconventional substitute for transportation challenges as this technology claims to zero tailpipe emissions while offering the power and performance needed for light-duty vehicle applications. As this compressed air car does not consume fossil fuel or other non-renewable energy it is claimed to be greener and cheaper. For more research and advanced techniques, the results and Ansys analysis of our design and our experimental test have great importance.

 Abstract

Several studies have been carried out on urban land use change in Nigeria but none of these studies have critically examined the pattern of residential land use commercialization and property rental trend in an emerging city as Osogbo. The study is therefore design to evaluate the influence of property use conversions from residential land use to commercial uses in order to ascertain the current rental trends of converted or commercialized two and three bedrooms as well as tenement buildings along Gbongan road, an area hitherto characterized with residential development in Osogbo metropolis. Data for this study were sourced through both Primary and secondary data sources and the data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Findings from the study revealed that residential land use commercialization is more along major arterial roads leading to the fast depletion of the available residential housing stock in the area. Despite the fact that, the converted or commercialized properties commanded higher rental values, its failure to comply with the state�s planning regulations have led to the distortion of the city master plan with the resultant consequences of aesthetic problems, rental values variations among others. It is on these findings that the study recommended among others the need for a more effective and efficient land use monitoring and management mechanism in the state.

Malignant melanoma is the most recurrent type of skin cancer but it is remediable, if diagnosed at a premature stage. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive,diagnostic tool having inordinate possibility in the prompt diagnosis of malignant melanoma, but their interpretation is time overwhelming. Numerous algorithms were established for classification and segmentation of Dermoscopic images. This Proposed work proposes the tasks of extracting, classifying and segmenting the Dermoscopic image using a more Efficient supervised learning approaches for more accurate and computationally efficient segmentation. The features are extracted from the Dermoscopic image using matlab program approach and these accurate features are used to train the neural classifier.

 Abstract

In the 21st century, the fast-paced lifestyle often causes people to neglect the importance of mental health. Despite people embracing the fact that mental well-being is of utmost importance, very few people are aware of factors that have an impact on the mental health. Mental health is impacted by the demographics of people, their sleep pattern, the level of exercise and even the extent to which people spend time with their families and friends. Another issue that persists in India is lack of awareness of counsellors and tendency of people to have a negative attitude towards counsellors. However, the best mechanism of getting the mental illness treated is by the help of counsellors. Nowadays, more and more people are being diagnosed by extreme anxiety and prolonged periods of depression. Since the symptoms of these diseases are not easily visible, many a times people are not able to understand the causes of these diseases. This research paper focuses on gaining an insight on the factors that has the most significant impact on the mental health of people and ways in which they can get treated. Moreover, we are trying to understand the underlying reason why people are not visiting counsellors to get treated.

In my research paper there are used a dual security in many other research I see that there are security at client side server side some other but I observe there is some problem I there so I think that security provide at all side because some time provider or database administrator also see our data. So here I implement such security which are protect our database from client side as well as service provider side. In our system actual data can change using fact entry and using key and hashing function we can get actual data.

 Abstract

As voluntary sustainability reporting has become an increasingly common practice among large corporations, the question arises as to whether or not such reporting should remain strictly voluntary, or should be mandated by regulators or stock exchanges. A number of governments have already made broad based sustainability reporting essentially mandatory. Sustainability reporting enables organizations of all shapes and sizes, including companies and public agencies, to measure, manage and publicly disclose their economic, environmental and social performance. The content of sustain ability reports focus more on complying to the reporting guidelines requirements rather than elaborating on materiality, stakeholder engagement and future plans and targets. Although, problem regarding reporting practices is widely accepted; it is equally widely accepted that the impact of corporate activity upon society and its citizens as well as all stakeholders including the environment is considerable and has an impact not just upon the present but also upon the future. Sustainability disclosure tracks, and allows for improvement on, those issues most tied to a corporation's environmental and social impact and most material to a company's financial performance. The concept of integrated reporting, which has been evolving over the last year, underlines the importance of demonstrating independence between strategy, governance, operation and financial and non-financial performance. India's business and investment Communities are beginning to recognise the benefits of sustainability reporting and organisational transparency. Involvement and ownership by top management, the management structure that formulates strategies and runs the operation of the company is a critical part of the sustainability process, given their ability to effect changes and to develop a long term vision and goals for the organisation. This strong growth in voluntary sustainability reporting suggests that both corporations and their stakeholders find value in the publication of this data. However, we believe that without mandatory reporting, the crucial task of transforming sustainability reporting into actual improvements in sustainability performance will remain an especially difficult task.
