Modified snack recipe Varagu Tikki for Diabetes Mellitus
Varagu (bhagar) is a well-known millet in India which is generally consumed only during traditional fasting. VARAGU TIKKI (cutlet) is a modification of traditional Aloo Tikki in respect of its nutritional aspect specially for people suffering from diabetes mellitus. The main ingredient used to lower its glycemic index and increase fiber content is Varagu. The additional nutritional benefits are provided by carrot, bengal gram whole and functional foods like flax seeds, curd, coriander leaves. It is a perfect diabetes friendly snack in which varagu provides high fiber that is known to lower blood glucose level. Carrot provides good amount of antioxidants. Flax seeds are a good source of omega 3 fatty acid and soluble fiber that help to prevent fluctuation in blood glucose level. Curd acts as a good binding agent as well as probiotic.These dietary changes were replaced with varagurice, bengal gram flour and carrot hence could be associated with a lower risk of diabetes and might be an appropriate component of recommendations for an overall healthy diet. Based on these facts we could conclude that this modified VARAGU TIKKI is nutrient dense, low calorie, low glycemic index, handy, palatable and attractive. The additional benefit of this snack is its cost effectiveness and could be consumed by all classes of the population and all age groups.

Analysing EOT (extension of time) claim procedure in Indian construction industry along with case study
Project is a sequence of activities having fixed duration. If there is a delay in any activity which lies on the critical path of the project then it will hamper the project completion date and will lead to time overrun. Time overrun is an important factor to judge the success of the project. It may be due to contractor's fault, employer's fault, interface contractor's fault or due to force majeure. There is a need to analyse the cause of delay and if the delay is not due to contractor's fault than contractor is entitled for the EOT. In India contracts are framed according to CPWD and Military engineering services, hence it has some different approach to claim EOT from FIDIC and other international bodies. Claiming of EOT requires the involvement of different department. This paper discusses the protocols follows in claiming EOT as per Indian law and suggest about the amendments to be taken to eliminate disputes in process of claiming EOT.

Simulation Implementation of Different Types of Loads for High Gain Single Stage Boosting Inverter
This paper presents simulation implementation of different types of loads inr high-gain single-stage boosting inverter (SSBI) for photovoltaic applications. The two-stage micro inverter first performs dc to dc voltage step up and then converts dc to ac, whereas the single-stage topology has to perform the dc to dc voltage step up, and the dc to a c inversion functions all in one stage. The single stage boosting inverter system employs a Tapped Inductor to attain high-input voltage step up and, thus, allows operation from low dc input. The traditional two-stage approach is costly and has complex topology whereas the Single Stage Boosting Inverter has a simpler topology and a lower component count. The Single Stage Boosting Inverter can achieve high dc input voltage boosting, good dc–ac power decoupling, good quality of ac output waveform, and good conversion efficiency. The simulation results for linear R (Resistive) and RL (Inductive) loads as well as nonlinear RC and nonlinear resistor and saturable inductor loads are shown in this paper.

Corporate Social Responsibility in India: Issues and Challenges
The purpose of this article is to provide a broad summary of the value propositions evident in the research on the business case for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Over a last 30 to 40 years, there has been a stable increase in information produced by small and large organizational set ups in relation to their social and environmental impacts. It is very well understood by organizations that govt. alone will not be able to succeed in its endeavor to uplift the downtrodden society for further compulsion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has filtered the myth that the ultimate goal is not profit making, rather trust building an assert able with societal relationship and only long term survival mantra for any organization. We would try to light on (CSR) of Indian organizations which would be helpful for both economic and social interest. This article is based on the secondary data and focuses on the findings & reviewing of the issues and challenges faced by Indian organizations with respect to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).Stockholders demand that corporate operations be managed efficiently and that improved market value reward their investments. Companies Act 2013, brought an end to the long run discussion on CSR practices by the corporates.The journey of CSR as a corporate responsibility has two broad perspectives, pre Companies Act 2013 and post Companies Act 2013. CSR policy is still in a nascent stage and faces number of challenges. The Union Budget 2015 clarified that any expenditure on the Swatch Bharat Abhiyan is to be claimed as deduction u/s 80 G and not under CSR. Thus, Indian law on CSR still awaits clarification on many areas wherein claiming deduction u/s 80, exemptions from tax and treating it as CSR all are in existence.

Comparative Study of Seismic Behaviour of Open Ground Storey Buildings, After Replacing Rectangular Columns with Circular Columns
The earthquake resistant design of structures requires that structures should sustain, safely, any ground motions of an intensity that might occur during their construction or in their normal use. However ground motions are unique in the effects they have on structural responses. The most accurate analysis procedure for structures subjected to strong ground motions is the Push over analysis. Pushover analysis is based on the assumption that structures oscillate predominantly in the first mode or in the lower modes of vibration during a seismic event. This leads to a reduction of the multi-degree-of-freedom, MDOF system, to an equivalent single-degree-of- freedom, ESDOF system, with properties predicted by a nonlinear static analysis of the MDOF system. The ESDOF system is then subsequently subjected to a nonlinear time history analysis or to a response spectrum analysis with constant-ductility spectra, or damped spectra. The seismic demands calculated for the ESDOF system are transformed through modal relationships to the seismic demands of the MDOF system. In this study the seismic behaviour of a frame building has been analysed by using push over analysis. The seismic performance evaluation of the building has been carried out by changing the sizes of the columns and also by replacing the rectangular columns with the circular columns. Static type of pushover analysis is to be used in this research work where the loads consist of permanent gravity loads and incremental horizontal forces at each storey level. Capacity curves (base shear versus story total drift) obtained from static pushover analysis using commercially available software called Etabs (Etabs 2015) are used for the calculation of some seismic demand parameters. The dimensions of the buildings have been kept constant and only the column sizes have been changed. Three different combinations of the rectangular column dimensions are taken and the non linear response of each is evaluated by using the pushover analysis. The rectangular columns are then replaced with the circular columns of suitable dimension. The buildings are designed for the gravity and seismic loadings as per IS 456: 2000 and IS 1893: 2002.

An Enlightment Of Diagnosis Of Pandu Vyadhi By Clinical Presentation And Its Management By Combination Of Aarogyavardhini Vati With Mandur Bhasm And Punarnavadi Mandur -A Single Case Study
There are many diseases which commonly occurs in all age groups, one of which is Pandu Vyadhi. In all Ayurveda samhita Pandu Vyadhi is described as a condition in which skin becomes pallor or yellowish white in colour. This disease comes under Raktdhatu Kshaya & Rasvaha Strotas dushti. It is correlated with anaemia, evaluation of its severity is done by haemoglobin percentage. Every disease can be diagnosed by two ways, one by clinical presentation & another way by pathological investigation. Pandu Vyadhi has Vishistha lakshanatmak presentation by this, primary diagnosis can be done & by haemoglobin percentage diagnosis can be confirmed on opd basis. Proper diagnosis helps in proper drug management. Aacharya Charak explained Mandur Bhasm &Punarnavadi Mandur as a drug management for Pandu Vyadhi. Aacharya Vagbhata suggests use of Aarogyavardhini vati. In this paper a single case study is presented. A male patient is diagnosed by clinical presentation &signs which further confirmed by Hb%evaluation which was 5.9gm%.Drug management is given in combination, after one month of follow up there is subjective improvement in patient & Hb%was 9.9 gm %is noticed. Which enlightens the importance of diagnosis & effect of drug management given.
