 Abstract

Proper planning and scheduling is very important part of construction projects for reducing and controlling delays of the project. Substantial amounts of time, money and resources are wasted each year in a construction industry due to improper management of construction activities. With globalization the construction projects have become vast and very complex. Planning of such projects requires huge amount of paperwork and time, which can be reduced with the help of project planning software. Providing good planning, proper organization, sufficient flow of resources to a project cannot automatically achieve the desired result. A warning mechanism must be present, which can alert the organization about its possible success and failures throughout the project. The main objectives of this study are to plan, schedule, and track an industrial project with the help of primavera P6 software and study the results generated. Also to recommend measures to the organization for enhancing their project planning skills for similar projects in future.

 Abstract

Maternal health is a key indicator of women’s health and status. It is widely recognized fact that the status of women in India with regard to men is particularly low. Women’s poor health in India are bound up with social, cultural and economic factors which exert a negative impact on the health status of women and children. It has been estimated that nearly 45,000 mothers die due to causes related to childbirth every year in India that can be preventable. Majority of the deaths take place in rural areas where there is no adequate health facility. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the maternal health care of rural women.

 Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected wirelessly. Each device in MANETs is free to move independently in any direction, so many attacks are possible in MANETs. In MANETs there are different type of active attacks like black hole, wormhole, grey hole and sinkhole attacks. Black hole attack is a kind of attacks where a malicious node advertise itself a shortest path during routing discovery and redirect the data towards malicious node. Malicious node dropped data or its desired destination instead of original destination. In this paper, focuses of various prevention and detection methods to detect and prevent the black hole attack

 Abstract

The current construction practices require a great effort to balance the factors such as money, time and quality. Value Engineering is a proven management technique that can make valuable contributions to value enhancement and cost reduction in construction industry. Many a time, Value Engineering (VE) is confused with cost cutting exercises in construction industry. The essential difference between conventional cost cutting and VE is that it involves reducing the cost by improving the functionality through lesser consumption of energy in terms of manpower, materials, and machines. However, it was found that the benefit of VE is much greater if multidisciplinary teams of engineers were involved which would also influence the design team that is normally the case in construction. Value Engineering is one of the most effective techniques to identify and eliminate unnecessary costs in building design, construction, operations, maintenance. The methodology is composed of three main stages, Pre-Study of the Value Engineering, value engineering job plan, and post study of the value engineering. In this critical literature review, how the principles of Value Engineering are applied in building construction projects is explained, in order to reach out better quality with lower cost.

 Abstract

Inertial navigation uses gyroscopes and accelerometers to maintain an estimate of the position, velocity, attitude and attitude rates of the aircraft. Gyroscopes are used in various applications to sense either the angle turned through by a vehicle or structure (displacement gyroscopes) or its angular rate of turn about some defined axis (rate gyroscopes). Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) devices are one of the most exciting developments in inertial sensors Micro inertial sensors, such as MEMS gyroscopes, can provide small, inexpensive, low power devices; however, the accuracy of these devices is insufficient for many space applications. The aim of this project is to develop a mathematical model of the vibratory MEMS gyroscope and to derive the governing equations of motion of these systems using the Newton-Euler approach. The individual outputs of many nominally identical micro sensors can be combined to generate an arithmetic average of the sensor measurements and then processed this average in an appropriate Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). The estimates are generally much more accurate than the measurements taken directly from the sensors.

Abstract: Large number of hydropower projects is under construction and it is essential to document the construction practice of hydropower projects. Construction professional always focus on time, cost, safety and quality. The objective of the research is to assess construction management practice of small hydropower projects in Nepal. Out of thirty eight small hydropower projects twenty seven projects were considered for the study based on Cochran sample size for construction practice. Questionnaire survey, KII and case study of two projects was conducted for data collection. Critical path method was popular for planning the project. Weekly meetings were preferred by client, consultant and contractor for monitoring of the project progress. The overall findings of 62.86 percent of parties involved in the project used to coordinate their current schedule with master schedule. 80 percent of client, consultant and contractor had the association of cost schedule with estimated time schedule. More than 74 percent of client, consultant and contractor did not use any software for planning, monitoring and controlling of cost of project. Furthermore, the safety factors were moderately used in construction project. Also, 40 percent of meetings were conducted weekly for the safety issues and there were less number of trainings for the safety. Improvement in construction practice is required for ensuring the safety and timely completion of project within estimated budget.

D Scholar, Department of Sanskrit, Sidho - Kanho -Birsha University, Purulia, West Bengal, Email : mithunhowladar1988@gmail.com, M - 7501386746 Corresponding Author : DR SUDIP CHAKRAVORTTI, Assistant Professor, Department of Sanskrit, Sidho - Kanho -Birsha University, Purulia, West Bengal Abstract ?rya K?ra??yavy?ha means detail description of the making of a basket. Its Tibetan significance is very clear by rendering Za ma tog bkod pa. The text was translated into Tibetan by the 8th century A.D. when the eminent Lo cha ba, Tibetan translator Ye shes sde rendered it into Tibetan. Prior to that the book was translated into Chinese in different names since 3rd century A.D. to the 4th century A.D. The K?ra??ay?ha S?tra is a very important Mah?y?na Vaypullya S?tra out of nine. K?ra??yavy?ha S?tra, belongs to the Vy?ha categories of Buddhist Mah?y?na S?tras. The text is one of the most important Vy?ha-s?tra from the climax of the large text of the Avata??ataka S?tras. By the 3rd century B.C. Mah?y?na S?tras, developed in different dimension. The Avalokite?vara - gu?a - k?ra??avy?ha - s?tra or known briefly as the k?ra??avy?ha - s?tra is devoted to the glorification of Avalokite?vara in its entirety. The s?tra reports that Avalokite?vara is also said to have create the world , and all the Hindu gods with it. He places the Hindu gods in their places ; they rule by his permission. One of the most important Bodhisatta in Mah?y?na is Avalokite?vara . He is regarded among Mah?y?nists as 'the Bodhisattva of great compassion ' who always available to succor and help out all suffering sentient beings . More importantly , not only Mah?y?nists worship this important Bodhisattva, even non - Mah?y?nists and non - Buddhists also widely respect him. The objective of this research is to see how the glorification of Avalokite?vara is explained in the K?ra??avy?ha S?tra.

 Abstract

The construction of building with floating column may be difficult in seismic zones but it may not be impossible, it is the need or demand to comprehend the earthquake impact forces that grows at various levels of floors which is then carried down along the height of the building by the smallest path. During earthquake or seismic forces the entire conduct of the building depends analytically on the size of building, its shape and its geometry along with the earthquake forces that are initiated from the ground storey that may lead to parking failure and tends to cause heavy damage. Where as in this project totally 4 models have been analyzed for the seismic zone 4 and zone 5 respectively as per IS 1893:2002 by using ETABS v9.5.0. version by equivalent static method, 2models are analyzed without floating column with respect to zone 4 and zone 5. Whereas other 6 models are analyzed with floating columns at different levels of buildings with respect to zone 4 and zone 5. The outcome results are differentiated concerning with roof displacement, storey-drift, base.shear, storey forces and time.period as per the zones contrast is made and graphs are planned

 Abstract

The classical economic order quantity (EOQ) model is a cost-minimization inventory model with a constant demand rate. It is the most successful model of all inventory theories because it is simple to understand and easy to apply. However, the demand rate remains stable only in the maturity stage of a product life cycle. Therefore, using the EOQ formulation in stages other than the maturity stage will cause varying magnitudes of error. In the growth stage of a product life cycle, the demand rate can be well approximated by a linear form. This paper deals with an optimal inventory replenishment policy for a non-deteriorating items and shortages. Two models are developed (i) inventory model for non-deteriorating items, (ii) inventory model with shortages. A mathematical model is developed for each model and the optimal production lot size which minimizes the total cost is derived. The validation of result in this model was coded in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0

The National Stock Exchange is widest and fully automatic trading system in India. Analysis and prediction of stock market time series data have involved considerable interest from the researchers over the last decade. Time Series Model is an essential tool for a data prediction in future demands. ARIMA Model is a forecasting model in time sequence records. In this paper, Bank sectors of Nifty50 daily closing stock market prices were computed and predicted of stock market fluctuations using Box-Jenkins (ARIMA) approach. From the study, it can be observed that the Private Bank sector of Mean Absolute Percentage Error is (0.603) tiny for other bank sectors. Hence, the Private Bank sector would be a minimum risk of investors for forthcoming trading days.
