In this research article, the micro-channel plate detector has been developed which can detect passage of high energy particles through thin film producing several secondary electrons. The micro-channel plate detectors are used in a time of flight-energy telescope for the mass identification of binary products of the nuclear reaction. The designed MCP detector is comprised of conversion foil, reflecting mirror, supporting screws, and a base. The passage of ions through conversion foil produces secondary electrons which are reflected down by the reflector before the detection. The working of BMCP designed at BARC is tested with Strontium-90 (β source). The best feature of Micro Channel Plate detectors is its low value of fall time constant which is less than 2 nano-seconds.

The paper analyses the effect of high altitude in facilitated oxygen diffusion in skeletal muscle fibre in steady and extinction states. The human body continuously consumes the oxygen, diffuses in muscle fibre as well as binds with the myoglobin to produce oxy-myoglobin. In absence of external oxygen supply at high altitude, oxy-myoglobin releases oxygen to meet its deficiency. In continuation of the process concentration of oxygen at the center of the muscle becomes zero giving rise to oxygen debt, highly undesirable condition. The condition, which determines the movement of point of anoxia with time depends upon the rate of absorption of oxygen in the medium and its altitude. Finite difference numerical method has been used to find the oxygen concentration at any time at any point in skeletal muscle fibre as a function of rate of oxygen consumption and the facilitated diffusion parameter at different altitude. The obtained results are compared with the results available in literature, which are in close agreement.

Recycling of waste material leading to its reuse is a thrust area of modern technology. The basic idea behind this work is to regenerate waste silver from X-ray films and produce stable Ag Nanoparticles (AgNPs) using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). The regenerated Ag NPs (r-Ag NP) HPMC matrix was loaded with Ketorolac tromethamine (KT) as a representative drug to test the drug delivery application of the r-Ag NPs. The Ag particles have been regenerated from the exposed X-ray films by leaching process followed by purification and subsequently studied by several characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction analysis, UV analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The nanocomposite films prepared with HPMC have different concentration of r-Ag NPs followed by KT drug loading. The presence of r-Ag NPs leads to sustained delivery of KT over longer time interval leading to a useful application of an otherwise waste material.

Conducting polymers have been studied extensively due to their fascinating electronic and redox properties since their discovery in 1970’s. They are organic polymers that conduct electricity but do not show satisfactory mechanical properties. Because of their good stability and desirable conductivity, they are suitable for numerous interesting and emerging applications in many fields. However, their usage and applications have been limited as they cannot be melt-processed. Ionomers on the other hand are classes of materials that comprises repeat units - mostly neutral and a fraction of ionized units (generally not more than 15 mole %) having many unique characteristics such as ion conductivity, hydrophilicity and fixed carriers due to the introduction of low levels of salt groups. Its conductivity is dependent on humidity making ionomers unsuitable for electrical conduction at temperatures below 0°C and above 100°C due to the decrease of conductivity induced by the properties of water at (freezing or boiling). The resulting deficiencies results in poor durability of wet membranes and poor mechanical and chemical stability at elevated temperatures. This paper reviews literature on preparation, processing and applications of conducting polymer-ionomer blends.

The strengthening and stiffening of the system are most common dynamic performance improvement methods used for buildings to resist lateral forces. Bracing system is one of the effective structural system which plays a vital role in the structural behavior during earthquake. Present study is based on seismic analysis of G+19 stories building using CYPE-CAD to check the lateral force resisting behavior of the structural system. This analytical investigation is on RC bracing systems for lateral load resisting is compared with ordinary RC structures. By providing bracing systems the lateral forces are resisted by the structural system which have increased stiffness, deformability and decreases drift. This investigation has been carried using the parameters - storey displacement, storey drift, base shear and column forces.

Indian construction industry is one of the important sector in national economy. It is one of largest sector in India contributes to growth of 11.1% of India’s GDP. Due to such a vast industry it is well known that construction has significant and irreversible impact on environment because it largely deals with the consumption of natural resources. Hence green supply chain management (GSCM) can play vital role to solve this problem in eco-friendly manner. In developing country like India the awareness about green supply chain management is in early stage. The issue of GSCM has received attention past decade among researcher in different industries but it shows that lack of research on GSCM in construction sector within India. The purpose of this study is to find out current situation and scope of GSCM in construction industries in India.

The interaction of two cationic dyes namely, Toluidine Blue (TB) and pinacyanol chloride (Pcyn) with an anionic polyelectrolyte, namely, sodium carrageenate has been investigated by spectrophotometric method. The polymer induced metachromasy in the dyes resulting in the shift of absorption maxima of the dye towards shorter wavelengths. The stability of the complex formed between Toluidine blue and sodium carrageenate was found to be lesser than that formed between pinacyanol chloride and sodium carrageenate This fact was further confirmed by reversal studies using alcohols, urea and electrolytes. The interaction parameters revealed that binding between Toluidine Blue and sodium alginate involves only electrostatic forces, whilst that between pinacyanol chloride and sodium alginate involves both electrostatic and hydrophobic forces.The structure of the dye affects metachromatic shift and other interaction parameters. Among the two dyes, pinacyanolchloride being larger in size is more hydrophobic and hence induces greater aggregation when compared to toluidine blue, a rigid planar cationic dye. The extent of metachromatic shift was found to be 114nm for pinacyanol chloride-Sodium carrageenate complex and 81 nm for Toluidine Blue-sodium carrageenate complex. Also the interaction constants for Pinacyanolchloride-sodium carrageenate was found to be greater than that between Toluidineblue –sodium carrageenate.

Recently employees working in the transportation service sector have been facing issues like: heavy work load, deadline, slim down employee benefits etc. Additionally, the safety concerns faced by female employees were important. Moreover, transportation employee like driver faces issues such as increasing fuel cost, unpleasant road conditions and increasing vehicle maintenance cost. On the other hand office level employees’/administrative employees’ dissatisfaction towards their job has been notified as lack of career path development that in turn strongly influences their attrition rates from the transportation service sector. Though, the employees in these sectors are better educated and more qualified than ever before, they cannot raise their voice for their welfare/benefits. Since, transportation sector is highly centralized within trucking companies that leads to unpleasant working environment. These issues could be considered as the prime reasons for high rate of employee turnover. At this juncture it is advisable to assess employees’ satisfaction towards HRM policies and Organisation factors and its influences on their intention of turnover. The study findings indicated that majority of the employees surveyed at both ABT and ARC were observed to least satisfied with both HR policies and organisation factors adhered in their organisation. The study further reveals that employees turn over intention is close linked with their dissatisfaction towards: organisation and personal fit, remuneration and recognition system,working environment and poor organisation commitment. Thus, it is suggested to the ABT and ARC parcel service companies to adopt strategic recruitment practices of finding right man for right job and always aim to pay them adequate salary and other perks. These organisations are also suggested to adhere very employee friendly work environment in order to enhance their level of satisfaction and to retain them as committed employees.

Damage reports on recent earthquakes have indicated that torsional motions often cause significant damage to buildings, at times leading to their collapse. The objective of this work aimed a better understanding of the torsional behaviour of building systems. In this analysis both symmetric and asymmetric structures with plan irregularity are compared. Symmetric structures have centre of mass coinciding with the centre of rigidity and the torsion effect in such structures occurs out of accidental eccentricity whereas in asymmetric structures have irregular distribution of mass and stiffness and its centre of mass and centre of rigidity do not coincide and hence causes the torsional effect on the structures which is one of the most important factor influencing the seismic damage of the structure. To assess the torsional effect on the structures in the present study 5 types of structures having same different perimeter area are considered and strengthened by introduction of shear wall cores. A simple linear comparison based on eccentricity is also carried out for the structures. Structures with asymmetric distribution of mass and stiffness undergoes torsional motions during earthquake. The performance of the structures is assessed as per the procedure prescribe in IS 1893:2002. Equivalent loads and wind loads are considered for the analysis of the structure. The analysis of the structural models is carried out using ETABS 2015 software.

Ransomware is type of malware and Trojans are types of cyberware that are designed to extort money from a victim. Ransomware can attacks on different platform like windows, android etc. It can attack systems in two ways, either can encrypt data or can block information. If virus is activated on system it can enable to spy on your system to delete, block or encrypt data until a ransom is paid. At present one of the most popular operating system is android. Ransom attacks can be prevented by paying closer attention to application permission request and by using prevention techniques. Prevention techniques can help detect and remove Ransomware without obtaining information about Ransomware. The focus of the paper is on ransomware attacks on windows, android and other environments. In windows ransomware attackers can be prevented by monitoring abnormal file system and in android it can be detected by paying close attention to the android manifest file.

A distributed system is the collection of autonomous nodes may be fixed or mobile deployed with the purpose to overcome the load of individual machine. Replication technique is one of the primary way to split the data into small parts known as chunk and distribute into connected nodes. Replication is the important step for creating and making duplicate copies or version of existing file or database for maintaining backup of content. Study of distributed Systems concludes that there are various challenges like Security, Integrity and Confidentiality exist into distributed system and replication process. These challenges decrease the performance in terms of authenticity and accuracy. Security is one of the primacy concerns for trust based applications. A trust is the guarantee about the performance of the system with privacy and isolation of information. Various security schemes like Diffie-Hellman key exchange, Symmetric Key algorithm have advised by researchers. but they have some drawbacks related to the key exchange, eavesdropper to violate the privacy and not maintain integrity. In order to achieve confidentiality this algorithm like Diffi-Hellmam key exchange, Symmetric key and RSA algorithms are used whereas for integrity algorithm like SHA-1 is employed. This particular work is proposed to resolve the few drawback like authenticity, confidentiality and integrity of these schemes. Here, a security model has been proposed to achieve authenticity, confidentiality and integrity during the replication. Proposed solution would help to maintain the privacy of content along with to improve the system performance by distributing into multiple server. An Even Odd scheme has been used for chunk distribution and replication process. Here, collective the features of RSA and SHA-1 algorithm have been used to maintain the security, RSA is used for confidentiality and SHA-1 used for maintain integrity. The complete solution has been implemented using java technology.

ONNO Schiff base can be used as powerful building blocks for the forming of the heterocyclic combinatorial rows and structure modeling of the potential biologically active compounds. Metal complexes derived from them possess excellent antimicrobial activities. Among ONNO Schiff bases, Thiosemicarbazone and its derivatives are important for synthesis of macro cyclic compounds. The transformations in their positions cycle were performed using reactions of acylation, condensation, heterocyclization, heterodyne synthesis etc. In this paper, we synthesized metal complexes of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Ru(II) with Thiosemicarbazone and their spectroscopic validation was done for various parameters. There antimicrobial activities screened by agar diffusion technique.

Big data is huge quantity of data amounting to exabytes or zetabytes of data. Big data is magnified by high volume, high velocity, and high variety information assets. Big data analytics is the process of collecting, organizing and analyzing large sets of data to discover patterns and other useful information. Big data analytics is performed using different techniques. This paper provides information about different big data analytics techniques such as social media analytics, sentiment analytics, video analytics, text analytics and audio analytics. To analyze such a large volume of data, big data analytics is typically performed using specialized software tools and applications for predictive analytics, data mining, text mining, forecasting and data optimization. Collectively these processes are separate but highly integrated functions of high-performance analytics. Using big data tools and software enables an organization to process extremely large volumes of data that a business has collected to determine which data is relevant and can be analyzed to drive better business decisions in the future.
