 Abstract

Phase Change Material (PCM) plays an crucial position as a thermal strength garage tool by way of using its excessive storage density and latent warmness property. The thermo- physical guidelines of Maltitol, (a sugar alcohol), became investigated as a potential fabric for developing increasingly meaty solar thermal power storage structures than those presently available. This latent warmth storage medium could be applied for business and industrial applications using solar thermal electricity garage inside the temperature variety of 100�145�C. The goal of this investigation was to decide through experimentation, if Al2O3 sparse in pure Maltitol for combos of 1, and 3% (by weight) progressed the thermal overall performance of Maltitol for sun thermal strength structures. Nanoparticles best bodily interacted with Maltitol and not chemically, plane without 25 thermal cycles. Without cycling, Nano-Maltitol studied right here suffered a decrease subtract in warmth of fusion than pure Maltitol, which makes Nano-Maltitol increasingly appropriate for solar thermal garage packages at 100�145�C.

 Abstract

This paper understands the concepts of derivatives, hedging and analyzes the Indian Aviation Sector in India. This paper reviews thirty published articles by renowned authors to further understand this field of research. This paper collects the data of Crude Oil prices, Aviation Turbine Fuel prices, Brent prices among others. This paper analyzes the data using models such as Descriptive Statistics, Correlation, Regression, GARCH Model, One-Way ANOVA Test, Unit Root Test, Co-integration and the Granger�s Causality test. The analysis provides desirable results and helps further interpretation and analysis. The results of the analysis also help develop good strategies for airline companies. This paper finds that Crude Oil Prices and Aviation Turbine Fuel prices are highly positively related whose correlation is almost perfect positive (0.98 correlation). The Crude Oil daily future prices do not show any effect of GARCH which shows that its volatility is not significant. The GARCH of Aviation Turbine Fuel prices is significant which helps the authors develop a strategy. Finally, the authors recommend that airline companies use Crude Oil as a proxy hedge for Aviation Turbine Fuel. Hedging using this proxy will help airlines reduce uncertainties and aid better financial planning and provide higher shareholder�s wealth.

 Abstract

Living beings are the part of environment. A good environment helps all round development of one�s personality and bad environment inhibits it. Both human beings and animals are effected by environmental pollution directly and indirectly. Environmental conservation is important because when we protect the environment, we are not protecting some distinct, distant entity but ourselves. Degradation of the is going on unabated. It is our duty to protect and preserve the environment and the ecological balance. This menace can be prevented only be creating awareness among the people. Rapid deforestation has been the main cause of environmental degradation. Many forests belts has been cleared away to set up industrial units. Rapid urbanisation swallowed the remaining green belts. Deforestation has led to disastrious results. Floods, soil erosion and landslides have destroyed the ecological balance. It is the call of time to plant more and more trees as it brings rain and keep the upper soil intact. Our rivers and lakes have become dumping grounds for industrial wastes, garbage and dirt. Those water has not remained fit for human consumption. Our cities are dirtier every day. The emission of some smoke from factories have converted our cities into big gas chambers. Educational institutions plays a major role to learn and bring awareness about the environmental pollution and protection among young stars which will be discussed in the paper. Only a concerted effort by all can help in maintaining the ecological balance for proper environment. So it is important that we spread the message through other social institutions to make greater change in the society. Different sources through which young stars will learn about the environmental pollution, specially air, water and soil pollution and about the environmental protection will also be discussed in the paper.

 Abstract

Physiological lower leg oedema is one of the cutaneous manifestations of pregnancy.Foot massage has been found to decrease the level of physiological lower leg oedema. Foot massaging stimulates lymphatic circulation and decreases swelling. Massaging the feet from toes to calf and exercising gentle pressure with the fingertips may helps to shift water out of the tissue. This study aims to find out the effectiveness of foot massage on reduction of physiological lower leg oedema among primigravida mothers. Research design adopted for this study was pre experimental with one group pre and post test design.Erin oedema scale was used to assess the level of physiological lower leg oedema. the mean value of post test level of physiological lower leg oedema after receiving foot massage was 2.38 and it was lower than the pretest mean value 0.58. The calculated�t�test value was 7.51 showed that there was a significant difference in the effectiveness of foot massage at p < 0.05 level.On the basis of this study the investigator were concluded that foot massage reduces the level of physiological lower leg oedema and the reflexology technique is the best method to reduce the level of physiological lower leg oedema.

 Abstract

Liberalization of the economy of India in 1991 has paved the way for various foreign country products to enter in the country. Chinese products in the Indian markets are not a rare sight. They have taken up shelf spaces in many of the retail stores in India giving quite a threat and competition to the Indian products. Also the consumers of India face quite a dilemma in choosing their preferred product between Indian and Chinese. The present research investigation makes a genuine attempt to understand the attitude of the consumers towards the various Chinese products and to study the impact of some predetermined factors on the attitude of the consumers in Guwahati city. The research investigation further tries to find out the level of competition between the Indian and Chinese products in Guwahati city. For serving the purpose of the study both primary data and secondary data has been used. Primary data have been collected with the help of a structured questionnaire. Secondary sources of data include journals and internet. The sample size for the study consists of 96 respondents and the collected data has been analyzed with the help of the statistical tool; SPSS software.

 Abstract

The Economical and overall development of rural sector depends upon the panchayat raj system in India. Rural development generally refers to the process of improving the quality of life and economic wellbeing of people living in relatively isolated and sparsely populated areas. Rural development has traditionally centered on the exploitation of land-intensive natural resources such as agriculture and forestry. However, changes in global production networks and increased urbanization have changed the character of rural areas. Increasingly tourism, niche manufacturers, and recreation have replaced resource extraction and agriculture as dominant economic drivers. The Gram Panchayat is a parliament of any village today in India has 238617 gram panchayat and 180032grampanchayat Gghars.

 Abstract

The maximum lifetime routing problem in wireless sensor networks has received increasing attention in recent years. One way is to formulate it as a linear programming problem by maximizing the time at which the first node runs out of energy subject to the flow conservation constraints. The solutions in this problem correspond to the rates allocated to each link. In this paper, propose the use of a regularization method which can jointly maximize the network lifetime and minimize another objective (e.g., packet delay). Most of the sensor nodes are battery powered. The limited amount of energy in each node is one of the bottlenecks. One simple approach is to minimize the power consumed to deliver a packet to the destination. The typical solution is to use the shortest path with link costs equal to the energy required in each link to transmit a packet. Another approach is to maximize the lifetime of the network. There are various ways to define the lifetime of a WSN. It can be defined as the time at which the first node runs out of its energy.
