 Abstract

The rise in environmentalism in the recent times has led organisations to shift towards sustainable practices and subsequently to the growth in green marketing. One of the dimensions of green marketing involves providing green products which are not harmful to the environment. The present paper studies the relationship of consumers� environmental concern with their green purchase intention in the city of Guwahati. Data was collected amongst the students and was analysed using Pearson correlation matrices. The results revealed a significant and positive relationship between environmental concern and green purchase intention.

 Abstract

Tomatoes were pre-treated with Syzygium aromaticum, dried and evaluated for its antioxidants, physicochemicals and antimicrobial properties. S. aromaticum treatment were made at varying concentrations of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10%. Sun drying and oven drying (60oC) were used to effect the drying process. Dried tomatoes samples treated with no S. aromaticum served as control samples. Selected properties evaluated includes; moisture content, ash, pH, crude fibre, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, total carotenoid, lycopene and total viable and fungal count using standard methods. The results obtained showed that treatment with S. Aromaticum significantly (P<0.05) increased the pH and crude fibre when compared with the control samples. Ascorbic acid value of the oven-dried control sample was significantly reduced compared to the ascorbic acid value of the sun-dried control sample. However, in treatment with varying concentrations of S. aromaticum, the ascorbic acid values of oven-dried samples were better retained. The lycopene and total carotenoid value were also reduced in oven-dried samples compared to sun-dried samples when treated with varying concentration of S. aromaticum. There was considerable reduction in total viable and fungal count of tomatoes treated with S. aromaticum compared with the control samples. The findings revealed that S. aromaticum was a good pre-treatment for preserving quality of dried tomato.

 Abstract

The purpose of this study is mentioned to improve the quality system in high schools of education in Egypt. Applying new modern of information technology which have different characteristics than the regular methods due to the very specific nature that can be applied to achieve the aforementioned purpose. Technology has greatly affected and impacted the way things are presented and taught in the classroom. Technology has had a large impact on the materials that are used and the way we use these materials to teach in the schools. Most everything that is used in today�s classroom has been a result of technology. All materials, including textbooks and the Internet, have been invented and have had some connection to the growth of technology in the school setting. The importance of technology in schools cannot be ignored. In fact the use of technology has made the process of teaching and learning all the more enjoyable.

 Abstract

Control systems are an integral part of modern society, and a major part. They consist of subsystems and processes which are assembled in modern industry for the purposes of controlling many processes. Motion control is required for domestic or industrial works. Systems used for such controls are called drives. By measuring output response and feeding it through feedback system and comparing them at summing junctions, the closed loop systems overcome the disturbance problem. An analysis is made of the performance of a dc motor controlled by a proportional-integral derivative (PID) controller. Overshoot appears with large settling time thus confirming a PID control behavior. In this paper Ziegler Nichols (ZN) tuning algorithm is the tuning method used for the proposed dc servo motor position control model. A computer based model is furnished here (using MATLAB SIMULINK).

 Abstract

In the world of Modern era, metropolis is a place which requires constant advancement and maintenance due to its growing market. It is a place, which also requires proper planning for the infrastructure and livelihood of its residents and visitors. While there are already some metropolises of the world that are already struggling to cope with the massive influx of people, we need to create blueprint of cities in a way as to make these urban areas more live able and truly sustainable in design and also make sure that they solve the existing problems and also provide solutions to the problems that are expected to appear after its implementation. In this paper, we try to bring about a new perspective and approach for few of the key areas of the smart city and also try to solve few of the major problems, which affect the core workings of a smart city in a cost-effective, simple and efficient manner.

 Abstract

System of wheat intensification (SWI) is a novel wheat production technique with management of seed treatment, seed rate, spacing, weeding, irrigation, and use of nutrient. SWI with traditional method of wheat sowing was compared under the yield prospect .SWI allow seed treatment as compared to traditional method of wheat sowing , seed treatment enhance number of tillers ,number of grains in spike and also increase grain weight as compared to untreated seeds , In Traditional method of wheat sowing involves closer spacing as compare to SWI used Wider spacing between plant to plant and row to row sowing with proper plant density allows proper aeration , moisture and nutrient availability in rhizospere which enhance proper root development in early stage of crop growth. It is very useful for small and marginal farmers to directly enhance production and increase income with reduce food insecurity. SWI a innovative approach that can sustain agriculture with use of organic manure instead of chemical fertilizer. Recommendation of SWI can enhance productivity and profit of the economic poor farmers by saving agro inputs.

 Abstract

Crisis is the truth of today�s fast paced business world. Rapid change in organization, changing economic conditions, problems of employees, unexpected technological changes and political effects cause instability on business world. This instability appears out of state control as economic disruptions which result in crisis. Crisis that affect our country as well as all other countries in the world also influences not only vacated people but also other individuals who concerns about losing their jobs. This economic uncertainty seemingly interests corporations. An environment is also one of the factors that affects crisis. If crisis are not brought under control or managed properly, they will come about and create chain crisis. Because of the increasing chaos, change from authoritarian leadership through teamwork and participative management mentality has been observed. Commerce is getting more and more complicated and complex. These changes have transformed traditional crisis leaders to a leader model which makes scenario analysis and work done in co-ordination with a team by gathering lots of different point of view to create optimum solution. Leadership and crisis concepts are discussed together in order that implementation of leadership in crisis can be easy to understand. Also, Crisis leadership is regarded as optimally and timely assessment process of adverse condition�s effects whatever its reason is.

 Abstract

A vegetable and fruit washing machine was designed and fabricated taking into consideration the techno-economic status of the micro, small and medium scale fruit farmers who are the intended users of the machine. Considerations also included high washing capacity and efficiency and the desire to make the materials of stainless steel to ensure the quality of the washed product. Other consideration was a strong main frame and fancy look and easy to moving any ware as support to ensure structural stability of the machine. The machine was designed for ergonomic value, safety and ease of operation and maintenance by incorporating guards around the moving parts and components.

 Abstract

Breast cancer is extremely predominant in women's today. It first starts once cells within the breast begin to grow out of management. It is found that the detection of tumor at the primary stage can cure it. Manual detection of a cancer cell is a tiresome task and involves human error, and hence computer-aided mechanisms are applied to obtain better results as compared with manual pathological detection systems. In deep learning, this is generally done by extracting features through a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and then classifying using a fully connected network. Deep learning is extensively utilized in the medical imaging field, as it does not require prior expertise in a related field. In this paper, the proposed approach has trained a CNN and observed that classification accuracy is better compared to other approaches.
