Modernization in Indian agriculture- An IoT approach

The main aim of the project is to provide overall support to the farmers and increase their margin of profit. In spite of agriculture being a non-recession occupation, many farmers are not able to reach the expected margin of profit. Reasons for that can be many. Having no prior knowledge about inflation in the market, farmers might end up growing the same crop in ample quantities in the market. Hence they reduce the margin of profit and sell the crop. The second reason being the traditional method followed in agriculture. Error due to human intervention cannot be ignored. Last reason being the role of intermediates. Farmers having inadequate knowledge about the price in the market, agree on a deal with intermediates. In order to reduce the risk, a farmer obtains a system has been proposed. The proposed system provides aids in multiple stages. In order to avoid inflation of crops, data about the quantity of all crops are aggregated and stored in a central database. This value acts as a threshold and warns before inflation. Change from traditional method to modern techniques in agriculture can be introduced with the concept of sensors. Multiple sensors are deployed in the farm field which gives timely and accurate readings to the farmer. Being in a remote location farmer is able to control his field. Farmers are being cheated by the intermediates due to lack of information about the price of crops. The system proposes a solution to this problem. Market price stores in the database are made available to the farmers. As a result, they are prevented from cheating.

Review Paper

Students recruitment strategies at higher educational institutes: A new world perspective – A review of the literature on higher education marketing

Purpose: In this paper, the author has tried to review the literature available towards the enrollment of the students at Higher Education Institutes. It is a prime task of universities to attract retain and nurture the students. Universities spend a lot of time identifying and living up to the Expectations of the students. Here we are trying to understand the parameters which are influential institute in the decision-making process, through the available literature. Findings: The research field of higher education marketing is still at a relative pioneer stage with much research still to be carried out both from problem identification and strategic perspective. For those with a passion for research, and a belief in the power of markets and marketing, there is still much to be done in the context of HE markets.

Case Study

A case study – Structural stability of 14 years old college building using NDT technique

Reinforced concrete is extensively used as the construction material for its application, ease of construction and low cost. Deterioration of concrete is a natural phenomenon and has started exhibiting in a large number of structures an efficient approach is required in dealing with such problems. Identification of the causes of distress and consequent repair/ rehabilitation strategy at optimum cost is carried out by monitoring the structure. Structural health monitoring can be achieved by Non-destructive evaluation techniques. NDT is well known for assessing the in-situ strength of concrete without causing any damage to the structure.

Investigation on mechanical and tribological properties of Boron Carbide and CNT reinforced Copper based composites

The current work focuses on the influence and contribution of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) and Boron Carbide (B4C) to the mechanical and corrosion properties of copper matrix composites. Different weight fractions of nano- B4C and MWCNT-reinforced copper composites were prepared using the ultrasonic-assisted stir casting methodologies. Various tests such as density, tensile, compression, hardness, and corrosion were conducted as per ASTM standards. The addition of reinforcements showed enhancements in the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness and corrosion resistance of the composites due to the uniform dispersion of the secondary reinforcement in the copper matrix and the self-lubricating effect of the MWCNTs. Further, the weight of the composites decreased with the strength characteristics increasing leading to the enhancement in strength to weight ratios of the composite specimens. The effects of the nanoparticle distribution in the matrix and the dispersion of the composites were characterized using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. The results of experiments highlight the use of experiential reinforcing limits of B4C on the mechanical behavior and corrosion characteristics of copper composites.

Performance evaluation of routing protocols for MANET through Simulation

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes that dynamically self-organize in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. Nodes in the network cooperate in multi-hop topologies to constrain their transmission power as they are usually battery-powered handheld devices. A node acts both as client or a server by forwarding and receiving packets to and from other nodes. Mobility of node needs a dynamic routing protocol and for this challenging issue of routing in ad-hoc networks an attempt has been made in this work to evaluate the performance of three protocols LEACH, AODV, TORA by taking average end-to-end delay, packet delivery fraction, and packet loss as evaluation parameters. In this paper 2 different scenarios for simulation are taken and then their results are analyzed. As per the differences that are found in the protocol mechanics which lead to significant performance differentials for these protocols then analysis of performance differentials is done using varying simulation time using the ns-2 network simulator. The result presented in this work is important for evaluation and implementation of routing protocols in MANET and through analysis weaknesses can be found in these protocols and their solutions can be proposed.

Screening of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) and how VMI affects handwriting in 4th and 5th grade children of urban English medium schools

To screen 4th and 5th-grade school children from urban English medium schools for visual-motor integration(VMI) and how VMI affects handwriting. The objective of this paper is to determine the relationship between VMI and handwriting skill among children of 4th and 5th grade of English medium school in Nagpur city and the impact of visual-motor integration skills on handwriting legibility. Elementary school Children were assessed for Visual-Motor Integration by Beery Buktenika’s Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) by the examiner. The Beery’s VMI and its two supplemental standardized tests i.e visual perception and motor coordination, provide one of the most valid and economical visual motor screening batteries available for preschool to adult ages. Results- This study shows that percentage of children having standard scores of VMI below average to very low scores was 26.48% which is similar to the standard score interpretation of Beery VMI in which 25% of children fall under the below average to very low standard score category. In this study we found that the percentage of the age group in below average was 12.52% with one standard deviation below the mean, low was 9.79%, and very low was 4.17%, respectively. Whereas in Beery’s VMI Standard Score Interpretation, the percentage of the age group in below average is 16%, low is 7% and very low is 2% respectively. From this, we concluded that in this study, there is a 2% to 2.5% increase in the low and very low-performance category. The results of the item of copying forms from the visual perception show a significant relationship with the quality of handwriting that confirmed the results of other studies these studies used the VMI ( Beery, 2004 ) and a copy of text to measure the quality of handwriting
