 Abstract

In the present market scenario, the Indian stock market is unpredictable with variations and movements along the market with various factors influencing them. Risk is one such factor that influences the stock prices in the secondary market. The factors in particular range to a high number, as the market works according to the changes in the factors influencing them. It can be indebted that the performance of the companies and the operations carried by them are changing as there is an increased level of competition and infusion of global companies into the market. This paper focuses on determining the impact of the performance of the company on the systematic risk of the company in the stock market. It is to study whether the Key performance drivers of company would have an impact on the systematic risk (Beta Value) of the company. The study makes use of Multiple Regression Analysis, Durbin Watson test and General Linear Model for the purpose determining the direction of each of the performance variable is positive with the systematic risk. The study concludes that, Liquidity, Financial Leverage and Capital Structure has a positive impact on the systematic risk of the company. These variables have a significant relationship with the beta value.

 Abstract

In the computer aided schemes in computed tomography (CT) lung analysis identification and characterization of diffuse parenchyma lung disease (DPLD) patterns is a challenge. Due to low contrast and noisy images it is hard to perceive these patterns . In this paper, we propose adaptive enhancement techniques at different wavelet scales using dual tree complex wavelet processing. Moreover, dual tree complex wavelet transform also provides an special feature extraction method for identification and characterization of DPLD patterns. The algorithm projected in this paper has been experimented on number of clinical images, the results are compared with those obtained from other algorithms proposed in the literature through both analytical indexes and the opinions of radiologists. From the results obtained it can be concluded that the proposed algorithm improved the diagnosis in the early detection schemes with respect to other approaches.

ABSTRACT: DDOS have been significantly discussed in the computer security domain particularly due to damaging effect it causes to the organizational assets. There are many techniques to launch a DDOS attack such as UDP Flood attack, SQL Injection, Brute Force attack, Ping of death, SYN flood, Denial of sleep attack. Existing solutions can be divided into categories of machine learning solutions, distributed system solution or their combinations. The project proposes implementing automatic detection of attacks from the client side itself. Our concept is to identify the network traffic occurred by attackers through DDOS, SQL Injection and Bruce Force attack. We six different attacks which is made by attacker. 1) Request from Id with more number of time from within a time frame, 2) Request from same Id with different within short time, 3) Request from different Id , same request from different IP with multiple time, 4)Request from different Id, different request , different IP in a multiple time, 5) SQL injection 6) Brute force attack.This project mainly focuses on the zombie nodes detection and strictly eliminating them from the network.

 Abstract

"Village Panchayats and the Panchayat Unions constitute the bedrock of Indian democracy and unless we strengthen the Village Panchayats and the Panchayat Unions, our democracy cannot become strong and vibrant. In this paper it is argued that the new economic policies, oriented towards market based economy-led growth objectives, would also entail significant contribution of the urban sector and efforts would be needed to reduce infrastructure bottlenecks and increase urban productivity and employment. It will require serious efforts at various levels including the level of municipal governments, state governments and central government. All the subjects mentioned in the Twelfth Schedule should be transferred to urban local bodies along with transfer of funds and functionaries. Property tax which is one of the main sources of income for the municipalities should be simplified and rationalized. Exemptions from Property tax should be minimized and central government properties should also pay service charges in lieu of property tax.

Social freedom or women teacher educator is very essential because destiny of children is made in the classroom. To attain social freedom among women it is very much essential to consider economic freedom first. As the teacher may be considered as the promoter of the social freedom and agent to eradicate the malpractices from the society are also the victim of these malpractices i.e. they are not even getting an equal status in the family and society as the male teacher are. For attain this social freedom among women, vocational and occupational components have to be designed in accordance with the availability of resources and job opportunities in the regions. Voluntary organizations and women�s groups active in the area should be involved in the task

The fast pace of urban development minimize the agricultural lands. Owing to poor rainfall and drastic climatic changes farmers often face challenges to sustain cultivation of crops with respect to crop cycle. With growing economic competition and rising population, governmental agencies design long term plans which rarely address the farmer�s needs. To meet the global demands agriculturist needs to investigate every opportunity that could improve agricultural production and growth. Whether to expand agricultural lands or to improve the production farmers needs to assess the suitability between land and crops. The investigation of land suitability and crop suitability has attracted many researchers to utilize latest technology such as remote sensing, geographical information systems etc. This paper aims to survey on recent researches on crop and land suitability using data mining techniques.

 Abstract

Municipal waste has become a severe problem in the developed and developing countries during the last century. Among these are various waste materials from food, packing, commercial materials ect; however the main constituent of municipal wastes is organic wastes ect. Citric acid commercially important product used in several industrial processes. Production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger from different varieties of banana peel such as green banana and yellow banana in surface culture process was studied. It was found that the maximum amount of citric acid (87%) was produced from yellow banana peel used culture.Lower citric acid (45%) was obtained from green banana peel used culture. By the extension of the fermentation (upto 25 days) resulted in an increase in citric acid concentration and biomass. The potential of Banana peels as a substrate for citric acid production by A.niger was investigated. Addition of supplements significantly enhanced the yield of citric acid. Of the three cultures examined, A.niger UABN 210 was found to produce the highest amount of citric acid (82.0g/Kg dry weight ) after 96h of growth at 30�C in the presence of methanol (1%v/v) and copper ions(10ppm) . The yield of citric acid was over 90% based on the amount of sugar consumed. The study presents banana peel as an inexpensive medium for the production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger.

 Abstract

The Sundarban coastal region, in South Asia, is prone to cyclones, storms, erosion and storm surge flood. Coastal areas are the most productive and transitional areas between land and sea. In these areas the ecosystems are more vulnerable to climate change induced natural hazards like coastal inundation, storm surge, tsunamis, shoreline change, sea level rising, cyclone and typhoon etc. The concept of vulnerability is a holistic approach and it navigates across the ecological and socio-economic systems of a region. Ecological and socio-economic vulnerability of a region can effectively be assessed using multi-hazards events. To understand the ecological and socio-economic vulnerability to climate change of any region, it is essential to find out the intensity of climate change. This paper makes an attempt to analyze spatio-temporal weather and climate variability in Sundarban Biosphere Reserve.

 Abstract

The cylinder block is the largest part of the engine. Its upper section carries the cylinders and pistons. Normally, the lower section forms the crankcase, and supports the crankshaft. Cylinder blocks made of aluminum are lighter than cast-iron blocks of the same size. They usually have cast-iron liners which provide a hard-wearing surface for pistons and piston rings. The cylinder block forms the basic framework of the engine, it houses the engine cylinders, which serve as bearings and guides for the pistons reciprocating in them. The analysis of the engine block is to be carried out to predict its behavior under static and dynamic loading. The cylinder block has to withstand the stresses and deformations due to loads acting on it. The solid model of the block is generated by using CATIA V5 R19.The nth model is imported to HYPERMESH-10. The quality mesh is prepared in HYPERMESH for converged solution and the end solver set as ANSYS in which load and boundary conditions are applied for analysis. The static analysis is performed to predict the deformations and stresses. The modal analysis to predict the first five natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes.

 Abstract

The contemporary societies of this fast paced world have witnessed some incredulous changes and precocious developments that of late. The recent upsurge and proliferation in the development activities has caused a sudden seismic disturbance on the resources of the earth. It is quite hard to jettison the usage of resources in order to foster the development activities while keeping in mind the myriad requirements of the modern world. In a bid to utilize the earth�s resources carefully as well as to fuel the developments of the 21st century world, the term �Sustainable Development� has been brought to the limelight. Over the years, the think tank of policy makers and environmental activists has been mulling over to fine tune the practice of Sustainable Development in order to preserve and sustain Mother Nature. But a challenging 17 Sustainable Development Goals coupled with 169 associated targets is always an arduous task. Keeping these challenges in mind, Christianity has emerged as an antecedent to provide a fillip towards promoting and integrating Sustainable Development activities. This research study intends to explore how Christianity and the activities of the churches and Christian institutions rooted in the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ is serving the purpose of promoting sustainable development by reflecting upon some key Biblical verses.

 Abstract

Learning Disabilities (LD) are problems or difficulties related to the processing of information. A child would find it as a herculean task to understand, articulate his/her thoughts in words, have problems in reasoning, and perform mathematical operations.Another disadvantagethese children have is that since they look �normal� to societal standards, their handicap isn�t considered or handled in the right manner. Instead,they are very often mistaken to be a lazy orstupid or disinterested child. This further discourages children to take any sort of interest in their school work. Such children need to be handled with love and care and lot more patience, rather than being labeled or pushed away as a waste of time to be corrected or taught. An understanding of LD is very important. It is vital for teachers to have the right attitude while dealingwith learning disabled children. The present study aimed at assessing and comparing the attitude of primary school teachers towards learning-disabled children of both government and private schools. The investigator developed a questionnaire to study the demographic characteristics of the respondents and the attitude of teachers with regard to LDin children. The total sample comprised of 400 teachers, of which 200 were from 16 government schools and 200 were from 16 private schools in Urban Bangalore city. Statistical analysis of the acquired data was carried out by applying percentages, mean, standard deviation, chi square and �t� test. The findings of the study revealed that a statistically significant association was found between the level of attitude among the government and private school respondents. The chi-square value being 73.37 was found to be significant at 1% level. It is also seen that the private school respondents had a higher mean score percentage related to attitude (M = 63.60%) when compared to government school respondents (M = 53.10%) on LD in children. However, it was found that both the groups had moderate attitude towards LD in children.

Brain Tumor is an abnormal and uncontrollable growth of brain cells inside the brain. The identification of a brain tumor is a challenge due to the complications in the structure of the brain. We can classify brain tumors in a human brain with the help of these MRI Images collected as Big Data. Classification is the best approach for the identification of images like any kind of medical imaging. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which supports to diagnosis the disease easily. Much higher accuracy can be achieved by gaining a better data set with high - resolution images taken directly from the MRI scanner. Moreover, classification techniques can be used to raise the accuracy even higher and reach a level that will allow this tool to be a significant asset to any medical facility dealing with brain tumors. Classification is used for classifying data into different classes according to some constraints. Several major kinds of Classification Algorithms including Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used for classification. On the comparative study towards the while, paper provides a comprehensive inspection of Changed Classification Algorithms and their topographies.

Then God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.Man has made tremendous progress in almost every walk of life. Objects once considered impossible to be achieved have now been achieved by us. What we have achieved and accomplished today could not have been imagined in their dreams by our past generations. Modern scientists and researchers have absolutely changed our life style. Science has been incessantly pouring on us new materials and devices to make our life more happy and comfortable. However, pollution of environment has contaminated our body and mind. We witness despair and disappointment on the faces of our young generation. Signs of restlessness are apparently visible in the dry and dull eyes of our young men and women. Sloping shoulders, flat chests and bulging stomaches have become their characteristics. This research Paper dealt with Pranayam a part of Yoga education as depicted by Maharshi Patanjali as four padas or parts samadhiPada,Sadhanapada,Vibhutipada,Kaivalyapada. How did pranayam effect up on the holistic which related to spiritual realm of a mankind and its development experimented in this research.
