Sequel outcome of automobile sector on account of covid – 19 through technical analysis

The COVID – 19 pandemic has deteriorated multiple facets of the stable functioning of economies of most countries. Social restrictions associated with the immediate response to the pandemic has curtailed dynamic functioning of many industries that buttress the economic development of countries. Performance of automotive industries was expected to nosedive following the travel restrictions. One of the major sources of profit for the automotive industries in India is their consumer base in countries like U. K, Germany, and China etc. Severity of the pandemic in these countries entailed trade regulations that propelled a negative trend in the market growth of Indian automotive industries. But the economy of automotive sector of India was saved from a free fall by the countering effect of the domestic demand in private transportation. This paper presents the technical analysis on the Maruti Suzuki Private Limited to measure the stock movement of the Automobile sector in the Indian Stock Market.

Maintaining and Strengthening the contributions of science and technology become more important for Africa in addressing traditional development issues and successful application of science and technology entails establishing effective institutional framework and linkages so that the various science and technology institutions and the productive sectors work in a system that is focused on achieving developmental goals without undue duplication and completion. Unfortunately, many developing countries especially the poor countries in West Africa do not have human resources, physical and economic infrastructures and access to capital to take full advantage of the science and technology expertise and achievements of the developed countries like the USA, China, and Korea etc. Conclusively, it is imperative for Africa especially West African countries to embrace science and technology as a vital tool for accelerating their socio-economic development as science and technology enhances its international competitiveness and more importantly its position in the world economy.

A 5.8 GHz digitally configurable DSRC RF-SoC transmitter for China ETC systems

This paper presents a CMOS DSRC transmitter architecture for China electronic toll collection systems. A digitally configurable transmitter architecture is proposed to reduce chip area, power, cost, and design complexity. This transmitter consists of only two digitally configurable analog blocks: an ASK modulator and a power amplifier, other than the digital baseband. The use of digital configuration extends output dynamic range, and facilitates rapid prototyping in different process technologies. The RF-SoC is fabricated using a 0.13 μm CMOS technology. Chip measurement results show that the maximum output power from a single-end port is 7.23 dBm, the occupied bandwidth is 2 MHz, the adjacent channel power ratio is −38 dBc at a 10 MHz offset, the adjustment range of modulation index is 77%–95%, and the transmitter dissipates 36 mA in active mode under a 2 V supply. Compared with state-of-the-art designs in the literature, this design demonstrates remarkable advantages in design complexity, modulation index, chip area, power consumption, output dynamic range, and output peak power. The chip area savings is at least 60%, the power consumption is reduced by at least 10%, the output dynamic range is enhanced by 9%, and the single-end output peak power is improved by at least 45%.

Publication Growth and Research in India on Lung Cancer Literature: A Bibliometric Study

This paper an attempt has been made to find the publication growth and research in India on “Lung Cancer” literature. The literature covered in the MEDLINE database for the period 2010-2015 was considered. There are 64180 records on Lung Cancer literature from the year 2010 to 2015 observed. The United States is the major producer, followed by England, Netherlands, China, and Germany etc. The scholarly communication is effected through the English language in almost all the countries irrespective of their native language of the country. Relative Growth Rate (RGR) has been decreasing. On the other hand, the Doubling Time (DT) has shown an increasing trend. A total of 680 Indian records were retrieved for the period 2010-2015. The number of Indian records increased from 2010 to 2014 but slightly declined in the year 2015. The percentage of publications in Lung Cancer which compared with world records is 1.56% in 2010 and it is 1.01% in 2015, which reveals that there is a gradual decrease of the quantum of publications on the subject compared to world publications. Indian efforts in Lung Cancer research are greater in three years out of six years of study, since the Activity Index is higher than 100, in those three years, which reflects the higher activity of Lung Cancer research than the World’s average in those years.

Diabetes is one of the Noncommunicable Disease (NCD), and the major health hazard in countries like India, China etc. The serious problem associated with DM is also associated with short-term symptoms like Hypoglycemia, Ketoacidosis and long-term macro and micro vascular complications including cardiovascular diseases like Heart attacks, Strokes, Kidney failure, Diabetic foot diseases leading to gangrene, amputations and Blindness. Doctors face difficulties to predict future health conditions of patients’ without relevant information. Thus need for Technology leveraging in Diabetes management is very essential. As the diabetes data collected from Health Industry or directly interacting with the patient is unstructured in nature. To analyses and prognosis it is necessary to organize the data and emphasize its size into nominal values. The effectiveness of Big Data analytics and Data Mining techniques in envisaging the risk of next occurring event in diabetic patients and taking proper precautions to overcome the risks is prophesied. The aim of this survey is to recall the progresses carried out in the area of disease management using Big Data technology.

Evaluation of Some Mushrooms from Kashmir Valley for their Potential Anti-Cancer Activity

Background: In the recent past, there has been a shift towards alternate and traditional therapies for the prevention and cure for various diseases including cancer, hypertension, diabetes etc. Due to the risk of side effects associated with allopathic medicines, people are fast turning towards traditional and folk medicines because of their supposedly low risk of side effects. Mushrooms have a very long and well-established role in traditional system of medicine in many Asian countries especially in China, Korea, and Japan etc. Methods: Fresh mushrooms were collected and identified based on morphological and reproductive characters by comparing with standard field guides by Largent (1973).Three different mushroom species were selected for the study. The material collected from target sites were subjected to solvent extraction followed by preparation of stock extracts, which were further used for the evaluation of anti-cancer activity. In-vitro cytotoxicity against different human cell lines was determined and the samples showing 50% or more growth inhibition at 100 µg/ml were considered as potential. Results: Ethanolic extract of mushroom 1 (100µg/ml) exhibited highest % age growth inhibition of 61, 53, 25% on lung, colon and CNS cell lines respectively. In case of mushroom-2 Ethanol: water (1:1) extracts 1 (100 µg/ml) showed highest %age growth inhibition of 19, 38, 7% against liver, Neuroblastoma, Colon cell lines respectively. Likewise, Ethanolic Extract of mushroom-3(100 µg/ml) exhibited highest %age growth inhibition of 58, 65, 13% on lung, neuroblastoma and prostate cell lines respectively. Conclusions: Based on preliminary evaluation two of the mushroom varieties showed promising results in terms of their anticancer activity however they need further evaluation and determination to ascertain their potential anticancer activity.

In order to investigate present status of aqua chemicals and drugs used in various aquaculture activities in Zakigonj upazilla, Sylhet. A survey was conducted, with carp polyculture, tilapia and catfish farmers, aqua-medicine sellers, representatives of pharmaceuticals companies, from July 2014 to November 2014. Each group consisted of 25 respondents. According to the survey the most common dose of lime used by the farmers during pond preparation (62.67%) and culture period (53%) is 0.5-1 kg/40m2. Urea and TSP used by the farmers mostly during culture period with most common dose of 100-150g/40m2(37.3%) and 50-100 g/40m2 (68%) respectively. Various categories of aqua drugs and chemicals were identified that were used by fish farmers for different purposes such as water quality management, disinfectants, improve dissolve oxygen level, disease treatment, antibiotics and growth promoter. Many pharmaceutical companies were found to provide these aqua drugs and chemicals with different trade names to fulfill the farmers demand. For pond and water quality management lime, urea and TSP are mostly used. Bleaching powder, Timsen, EDTA, Polgard, Virex, Aquakleen, Germnill, Pond safe were widely used as disinfectant. Health management and disease treatment were the major activities where farmers were seen to use a lot of chemicals. A range of chemicals including antibiotics were found available in market and being used in the aquaculture sector. Commonly found traditional chemicals in heath management included Potassium permanganate, Lime, Salt, Virex, Timsen, Aquakleen, Germnil, Pond Safe, Deletrix, Spa, Albez, Ablez were used regularly for disease treatment. Mostly used antibiotics are Renamycin, Oxysentin 20% Chlorsteclin Oxy-D Vet, Aquamycin, Orgamycin 15 %, Orgacycline-15% etc. Major active ingredients of these antibiotics were oxytetracycline, chlorotetracycline, amoxicillin, doxycycline etc. There are approximately fifty two pharmaceutical companies have been recorded to market around 300 products. Most of the products have been marketed from different countries like USA, Thailand, Malaysia, Belgium and China etc. The study also indicated some problems associated with the use of such chemicals due to lack of knowledge of farmers about the use of chemicals, appropriate dose, method of application and their indiscriminate use of chemicals. The study also highlighted the names and approximate price of aquaculture chemicals available with the chemicals sellers in Zakigonj, Sylhet.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2015, 1(2): 336-349

Impact of Foreign Investments on Indian Stock Market An Empirical Study

FDI and FII have become instruments of international economic integration, stimulation and a major catalyst to development. Fast growing economies like Singapore, China, and Korea etc have registered the incredible growth at onset of FDI. Promoting FDI to supplement the domestic capital, human skills and technology for accelerated domesticate economic growth has been the objective of the Government of India since the inception of LPG in 1991. Superior and sophisticated technology has helped India greatly. Industries have been marching ahead riding on the incoming superior and advanced technology. FDI not only influences the stock market by creating positive sentiments in the market participants, they also play a vital role in the employment creation in different sectors. Being a long-term investment FDI plays a major role in bringing the stability to the country‘s economy. The Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have emerged as noteworthy players in the Indian stock market and their growing contribution adds as an important feature of the development of stock markets in India. FIIs are more volatile in nature and more profit driven investment. Hence, FDI is more desirable for any country, not to undermine the impact of FII. This paper attempts to develop a study to find the relationship and impact of FDI & FII on Indian stock market using the statistical measures-correlation coefficient and multi regression for 14 years data spanning from 2000 to 2014. Sensex and Nifty are considered as the representative of stock market. The analysis of the current study provides the evidence of strong positive correlation between FDI & Sensex and FDI & nifty. It also provides the evidence of moderate positive correlation between FII activity and effects on Indian Capital Market. Both FDI and FII determine the trend of Indian stock market.

A Recommendation System of Highway ETC Card Based on Decision Tree Theory

With the promotion of social information construction and the rapid update and replacement of large capacity storage equipment, the amount of data from every field grows exponentially. Reportedly, the amount of the data accumulated by Shandong Hi-speed Group is very large. These data can satisfy us some daily usefulness, such as query, retrieval, statistics, statements etc. But what is more important is that how can we discover some useful information from the information ocean. This information can be used in real life such as auxiliary decision. This paper is proposed in this historical background. Data mining is a powerful tool for acquiring knowledge from massive data. Some methods of data mining, such as decision tree, support vector machine, Bayesian decision theory, artificial neural network, k-nearest neighbor, association rule mining etc, are commonly used. In this paper, we design a recommendation system of highway ETC card by using the theory of decision tree. The recommendation system can predict whether a car owner is a potential ETC customer or not through the analysis of the vehicle information. Experiments proved that the accuracy rate of the recommendation system is larger than 90%, so it can provide effective information for the extension of China's ETC card.

Engineered Wood in Cold Climate - Application to Monitoring of a New Swedish Suspension Bridge

Engineered wood is increasingly used in large structures in Europe, though little is known of its behavior in cold climate. This paper presents the structural health monitoring (SHM) system of a newly built suspension bridge with a deck of glulam timber as well as a bond stability study regarding cold climate performance of engineered wood. The bridge is located in Skellefteå in northern Sweden, and it connects two parts of the city situated on opposite shores of the Skellefteå river. In this ongoing study of the timber-bridge, a structural health monitoring system is employed to verify structural design and long-term performance. This 130m-span bridge is monitored using GNSS receivers, MEMS accelerometers, laser positioning systems, wireless moisture content sensors, strain gauges and weather stations. Data from the monitoring systems is analyzed regarding accuracy, complexity, costs and reliability for long time use. Engineered wood application in bridges, sports centers and timber buildings are discussed. Bond stability of glulam structures in cold climate is also examined in a range of experiments ranging from small glued wood joints to full size glulam bridge performance over time. From an engineered wood material point of view, the study is relevant to cold regions such as Scandinavia, Canada, Alaska, Russia, and the northern parts of China and Japan etc. The engineered wood constructions in these areas will be exposed to low temperature in a quite long period each year. The goal is to determine how engineered wood behaves when exposed to temperatures between 20 °C to -60 °C.

Wind stability of a structurally non-symmetric suspension bridge under erection

Currently, the commonly built suspension bridges are single or three-span symmetric structural system. To well suit with the natural conditions, several two-span non-symmetric suspension bridges have been built such as the Tsingma Bridge in Hongkong, the Xihoumen Bridge in China etc. It is well known that the wind stability of suspension bridges during erection becomes a subject of major concern. Up to now, comprehensive investigations on the wind stability of structurally symmetric suspension bridges under erection have been conducted, and some wind stability improvement measures have been proposed. (Cobo del Arco and Aparicio 2001, Ge and Tanaka 2000, Zhang 2004). Unfortunately, few investigations on the wind stability of structurally non-symmetric suspension bridge during erection have been done. The present paper focuses its attention on how the wind stability varies during deck erection, and also attempts to find an optimized erection sequence for a structurally non-symmetric suspension bridge.

An Unparallel View of Parallel Economy

Despite the considerable media attention being given to the financial meltdown there has been little attention on why this happened. This paper investigates into this matter and takes a very unique point of view. Whenever we talk about this matter we thought of liquidity crunch, sub prime crisis, high fiscal and trade deficit etc but we never think about parallel economy and money laundering. Here are some facts regarding this as-pect: the amount of money laundered in the whole world is close to $2.85 trillion per year. As per an estimate of International Monetary Fund the aggregate size of this un-derground and illegitimate market is between 2 to 5 percent of world’s gross domestic product. Criminals become wealthy enough to bribe officials and ensure their continu-ing profitability. Bribed officials becomes a mere puppet in their hands and act accord-ingly to their needs. Key media are controlled which prevents any publicity. Terrorist financing, drug trafficking and the black economy are nothing but the pitfalls of this growing menace. This is the biggest industry in the whole world. It is bigger than oil or arms for that matter. Many international money laundering rackets control the whole procedure. In this paper we have presented how parallel economy is affecting various developed and developing countries like U.S.A, U.K, Australia, India, China etc. We have also showed that how it is being done and who the main players behind conspir-acy are. This paper also prescribes the steps that are needed to be taken by the regula-tory bodies to control and regulate this matter. What financial restructuring that are needed to be done. We have also portrayed what are the loopholes that we have in our economy especially in money market and forex market. We have also analyzed and in-terpreted what are the levels of intensity of anti money laundering laws and what ef-fects they are having in their respective economy. We have suggested in this paper how we can cope with this situation by bringing some technical changes in our financial sys-tem. The main purpose of our paper is to show the areas we need to look at, to build a concrete economy, free of any type of black money. The new financial system should be equipped to tackle these frauds and take productive steps to counter them. There should be transparency in this whole process and no one should be spared if they are found guilty irrespective of position.

William Chambers, the ‘Very pretty Conoisseur’ – the interiors at Duddingston House and the Inventory of 1790

This paper constitutes a short introduction to the fascinating and revealing inventory of the contents of Duddingston House (designed by Chambers in 1763 for fames, 8th Earl of Abercorn), compiled in June 1790 following the death of the Earl in the previous year.1 The interest of the inventory lies not only in the description of the contents and decoration of the house (furniture, curtains, carpets, china etc, down to sheetsfor the ‘Common servants’ and 30 plain pewter plates for the servants hall ‘almost wore out’), but also in the light that it sheds on the way in which the house was used. From the titles of the rooms, the list ofthefurniture in each room, and the order in which they are given, one can deduce where each room was, and how it was used; one can literally follow the inventory's compiler on a guided tour from room to room round the house (Figures 2.1 and 2.2).
