 Abstract

In the era of Information technology human tend to develop better and more convenient lifestyle. There is no time for people to visit grocery shop to buy products. Simply they make a phone call and order the products they want. But, sometimes it may be a set back as if the call gets engage. Rather it will be a better option to appoint a person to manage the phone call. Our project focuses on developing a system which helps people making an order through an android application using speech recognition to reduce the manpower in grocery shop and to reduce waiting time of the customer. This system records the speech and converts the speech into text. The converted text is processed by Na�ve Bayes classification to obtain suitable intents such as product name and quantities. Finally the intent is processed and the corresponding orders are placed and the invoice will be generated to the customer.

Working capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Decisions relating to working capital and short term financing refer to as working capital management. In other words working capital management is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter-relationship that exists between them. Working capital management is the process of managing short term assets and liabilities to ensure that the company has adequate liquidity to operate smoothly. This ratio is a measure of company�s short term financial health and its efficiency. In this research paper the researcher has made an attempt to present the analysis on working capital management of select sample venture capital institutions of India and of abroad operating in India. Ratios considered for the purpose of presenting working capital analysis are current ratio, ratio of debtors to current assets and ratio of cash flow from operations.

 Abstract

Saadat Hasan Manto was an ace of a short story Urdu writer of the twentieth Century. He had contributed with his astounding writings which hold its relevance till date. Being an iconoclast he was able to break the clich�d shackles of the traditional writing and pave way for progressive Urdu writing. His essays, stories, deliberations and contemplations leave an indelible imprint in our minds and thus we times and again keep turning back the pages of history and bask in his reeking tales of partition filled with unwavering honesty. His tales such as A Woman�s Life, Mozail and Colder Than Ice recorded the mayhem that lay latent behind the threads that people put onHis characters had their own individualistic domain who stood upright in the most impoverished and deplorable conditions of their time. Manto had used women as the most powerful tool to show the unleashed barbarism that was reigning naked during the clamor of 1947. Women strongly expressed dissent to remain subjugated and suffer from hushed deceit.

 Abstract

Real estate is the least transparent industry in our ecosystem. Housing prices keep changing day in and day out and sometimes are hyped rather than being based on valuation. Predicting housing prices with real factors is the main crux of our research project. Here we aim to make our evaluations based on every basic parameter that is considered while determining the price. In this paper, we performed multiple linear regression for estimating house price based on area in square feet and number of bed rooms. Regression is a measure of the relation between the mean value of one variable and corresponding values of other variables. In statistical modelling, regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships among variables. The multiple linear regression explains the relationship between one continuous dependent variable (y) and two or more independent variables (x1, x2, x3...etc). Here we implemented through three modules: Data entry module, is used to provide the needed data to the project. The Analysis module is used to analyse and predict the house prices, based on the customer needs. The Front-end module is used to create the needed GUI screens for the project.

 Abstract

Capital markets have arisen to be at the Centre stage of the Indian economic device from a miniscule impact it had upon the financial markets a decade earlier. Capital market in India has also witnessed a substantial increase in institutional setup and development. Institutions have developed and developed in the form of a assorted shape of mutual funds. Mutual Fund is a trust - pools the savings of a range of investors, who share a frequent financial goal. The money, accordingly collected, is then invested in capital market units such as shares, debentures and other securities. Earnings - earned through mutual fund investments and the capital grasp realized is shared by unit holders in share to the quantity of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most appropriate investment for the common man as it presents an possibility to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a extraordinarily low cost. Monthly Income Plans or MIPs make investments most of their whole corpus in debt instruments whilst they take minimum exposure in equities. It gets benefit of each equity and debt market. These schemes rank slightly excessive on the risk-return matrix when in contrast with different debt schemes.

Heat transfer rate in plate type heat exchanger was quite less. This problem could be solved by using graphene composite inks. Graphene ink has been prepared by using Graphite nano powder, epoxy resin, sodium silicate mixture of high thermal conductivity by stirring. The graphene composite ink was then coated on cast iron disc and allowed to dry. When composite ink used as a thermal interface on plate type heat exchanger increased the heat transfer efficiency.Graphene has received significant attention due to unique electrical, optical and thermal transport properties. The extremely high thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity may make graphite be used as fillers in porous ceramic matrix to provide enhanced thermal properties and replace metal or graphite parts in thermal management systems. The coated disc has been kept on magnetic stirrer with an constant temperature and then raise in temperature was noted for a period of time say five minutes and then heated composite ink coated cast iron was taken for the testing methods using infrared thermometer (IR Thermometer) to find the thermal conductivity of the different composition of graphene ink. Thus from the testing, thermal conductivity of the material has been found. To inspect thermal properties the model of plate type heat exchanger were designed using software (solid works) to simulate thermal conduction for the different types of graphene composite inks. The simulation result reveals the best composition and displays more efficient heat transfer rate as compared to others. As a result this work proves that the most improved and easiest way of heat transfer rate using the graphene composite ink benefiting practical application such as the plate type heat exchanger ,heat sinks etc.

 Abstract

Seismic design codes are generally based on strength philosophy, where structures are designed on a linear elastic force-based design (FBD) approach. The main objective of this philosophy is a strength rather than a displacement capacity. This paper reviews the Egyptian code-compliant designs (CCD) to test their effectiveness, reliability, and structural performance, as well as it proposes an alternative performance-based design (PBD) approach for seismic design, by developing a performance factor (P) for different performance levels. Regular and irregular RC moment frame structures are assessed using this approach through nonlinear static pushover analysis. The correlation between forced based and performance-based design methods is carried out using the performance factor (P), which can be used in design codes to have a more reliable fulfillment of intended seismic performance and reduced construction costs while accommodating to the owner�s features.

 Abstract

The old Middle English origin word �Riht� has its first known use before 12th century, have been now attributed and forms the basic structure of all the guiding framework of most of the nations throughout the world. The Constitution of India guarantees certain inherent rights which has subjected its derivations from foreign sources prima facie, and which further has its reclining in their instrumentality. But all the nations� rights have a common origin subjugation i.e. the natural order which exists in the universe because all things are created by nature. The vision related to Justice and Equality given under the preamble are secured through the fundamental rights as it attempts to guarantee the street vendors, like any other persons the basic inalienable human rights and promises to protect them by the law of the country without any discrimination. Thus, this research paper is an attempt to understand that how legitimization of the street vendors will recognize and protect the interest of the street vendors and guarantees the basic fundamental rights of them.

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have inflation and replacing conventional materials with their excellent strength and low specific weight properties. These materials are desirable choices in engineering applications. CFRP is worn as structural materials in various industries due to cutting force essential over machining a polymeric material is lower than that of conventional materials. Hence, the flexibility of machining is to be tested in order to reduce the machining time and cost. The previous conventional and unconventional machining studies suggested that input process parameters and cutting forces have a great influence on the machined surface quality of CFRP composites. In this analysis, a research survey was addressed the surface failure mechanisms, machined surface topography and machinability of CFRP composite materials. Moreover, this literature study has focussed on different statistical techniques used to achieve better-machined surface integrity. The initiation and propagation of machining composite failure occurred due to not only manufacturing characteristics, but also influenced by machining conditions.

 Abstract

Ever since the end of the Second World War, peace and development has captured the interest of scholars and academicians and along with it began the pressing problem of eradicating poverty. In the year 2000, at the United Nations Millennium Development Summit, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was passed by leaders of various states with the reduction of poverty as the primary goal. Approximately two decades after the passing of the MDGs, the poverty reduction initiative has achieved significant success across the globe under various initiatives of different governments. Between the years 1990 and 2000, over 1.06 billion people have been lifted out of poverty and the percentage of people living under extreme poverty have been reduced from 43 percent to 14 percent. This has been achieved through universal education, prevention and treatment of malaria and tuberculosis, provision of clean water, and improvement of slum conditions. In the year 2015, for the purpose of achieving common development, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by various countries at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit that again laid its emphasis on the eradication of poverty as its primary goal. It is estimated that over 700 million people are still living in extreme conditions of poverty and developing countries are confronted with critical challenges of eradicating hunger, malnutrition, maternal and child health, as well as sustainable development. Progress in terms of poverty reduction remains unbalanced while the condition of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) has not seen any notable improvement. In this article, the objective would be to analyze the extent of poverty in the south Asian region. It would seek to analyze MDGs and SDGs in the context of poverty reduction in the south Asian context. Has globalization brought about a change in terms of poverty reduction in these countries? How has the human development program had its impact on poverty reduction in South Asia are initial questions that this article would seek to address? Following the initial remarks on poverty reduction, this essay would focus on the Chinese approach to poverty reduction. How and what has been the impact on poverty reduction in terms of the Belt and Road Initiative in the south Asian region and does China focus on poverty alleviation through its connectivity programs or regional cooperation mechanisms/initiatives are important questions that this article would seek to address.
