 Abstract

At present, natural fibers are the renewable resources of reinforcing material for the production of composite material. This analysis report provides the analysis data on the effect of fiber volume fraction on the physical and mechanical properties of natural fiber composite. Composite is fabricated by using jute, hemp, and coconut fiber as a reinforcing material and phenol-formaldehyde as an adhesive material. The conclusion of this analysis is at 40% fiber volume fraction the moisture inside the composite, water absorbed by the composite during the water absorption test, and expansions in length, width, and thickness are found minimum. Modulus of elasticity found maximum at 50% fiber loading.

 Abstract

India faces continuous environmental and health oriented concerns from expired, unwanted or unused drugs. It remains as a persistent issue with no proper studies carried to evaluate expired drugs and to the managerial repercussions, therefore, are not hitherto known fully. There are numerous loopholes within the laws governing the expiry of drug. The municipal corporations handling the waste have not been sensitized to it. There is a grave necessitation for the expired/ unused medicines to be managed in a much more effective manner, as the drugs could pose accumulation of potentially toxic substances in the environment. In India, there is currently limited literature on the methods and protocols that are applied by community pharmacists in the disposal of expired drugs. This study assessed disposal practices of expired and unused medications by pharmacists which was determined via carrying a cross-sectional survey, conducted via face-to-face interviews using pre-validated and structured questionnaire. The returned questionnaires were subjected to statistical analysis using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23.From the observed findings it was concluded from the questionnaires were returned showcasing response rate of 100% with majority of the respondents were male compared to female in participation. Over half of the respondents� educational qualification reported as graduates. Interestingly, 84.4% of respondents admitted that they purchased medicines on the prescription of which 47.2% were university graduates, while 14.6% purchased medicine over the counter.

In this paper, improved algorithms for radix-8 FFT are presented. Various schemes have been proposed for computing FFT. It has Different target domains of applications and different tradeoffs between flexibility and performance. Typically, they need reconfigurable array of processing elements .The applications have been restricted to domains based on floating arithmetic. We introduce floating-point Arithmetic which is based on processing elements. After developing the FFT design we present a routing Algorithm and use topology to reduce power dissipation. These modified radix-8 algorithms provide savings of more than 33% in the number of twiddle factor evaluations.

 Abstract

The term efficiency means how effectively and efficiently a bank uses its resources to increase its profitability and productivity. For an analytical view, profitability and productivity complement each other and are interrelated. In India, the earliest instances of analysis of efficiency of banks was done by Luther Committee in the year 1977 which examined the productivity, efficiency and profitability of the nationalised banks from 1969 to 1975 on the basis of selected set of efficiency indicators. This paper aims to analyse the efficiency of selected private sector banks in India with respect to seven key performance indicators. Keeping in mind the limitations of secondary data sourced from published reports and websites, to analyse the computed efficiency and productivity ratios, F-Test single factor analysis of variance ( ANOVA) has been used as a statistical measure. For the convenience of the study, only a set of five selected private sector banks viz, ICICI bank, HDFC bank, AXIS bank, FEDERAL bank and YES bank have been incorporated based on the technique of random sampling. The study has been confined for a period of five financial years starting from 2015-16 to 2019-20. The study resulted with a mixed response with regard to the efficiency of the banks in terms of profitability and productivity and demanded an improvement in some banks as the banks have not succeeded in acquiring full efficiency in all the years of study.

 Abstract

This paper criticizes the authoritarian rules prevalent in India since pre-independence. The purpose of this paper is to probe the condition of women as highlighted in the contemporary Indian novel �Difficult Daughters� by Manju Kapur. This work of literature stresses on the plight of women and how they are objectified and considered worthless. The writer vividly describes how the first character in the novel is metaphorically compared with a fruit-bearing tree, the similarity between the two being, just as a tree is expected to bear fruits seasonally, Kasturi was expected to bear babies yearly. Her life was merely her own, she was a puppet controlled by her husband and his family. The three protagonists in the novel tell the readers about miseries faced by women in three different generations. Kasturi is not modern in thinking hence she does not want her daughter to be modern in her thinking. The core idea of feminism is that women should have equal rights, power, and opportunity but patriarchy and its subsets deprive them of their basic rights. Here the writer has successfully portrayed the conflict of traditional modernity in her characters, she chooses the urban Indian middle class and represents the majority of the population.
