Outsourcing means to source from outside or in other words getting another person or organization to provide a service on a contractual basis.It can be very helpful for Libraries and any other management. The paper lists the activities that can be outsourced. It also outlines the advantages ad disadvantages of oursourcing

Occurrence of Octopus dollfusi Robson 1928 in Maharashtra waters

Octopus fishery is gaining momentum in India especially along the north-west coast. The major centres in Mumbai where octopi are landed by trawlers are New Ferry Wharf, Sassoon docks and Versova. Cephalopods comprise about 10.5% of trawl landings of Maharashtra with octopus contributing 7.1% (CMFRI, 2006)

A SYSTEM TO IMPLEMENT A LINEAGE AUTO CAPTURE PLUGIN FOR HIVE

The present disclosure provides a system and a method for lineage auto capture plugin for hive. The system receives a query using a user interface and hive clients, process the query using a driver, execute the query via an execution engine. Further, the system implements the functionality of hive lineage connector to perform lineage auto capture for hive. Thereby, managing data efficiently and addressing issues related to data efficiently

Dynamic Response of 2 Piles in Series and Parallel Arrangement

In the present study, dynamic analysis of laterally loaded vertical pile group is carried out by keeping in the mind the three dimensional nature of the soil-pile system. Piles and soil are modelled using three-dimensional finite element techniques treating them as linear elastic. The interface of soil and pile under the lateral load has been accounted for by incorporating interface elements in the modelling. The special type of transmitting boundary using Kelvin element is used to transfer the propagating waves from near field to the far field. Group of two piles in series and parallel configuration have been considered for present study. Individual piles are considered monolithic with pile cap. Parametric studies have been performed to examine the effects of pile spacing and soil modulus on the response of pile group

पिंजऱ्याची बांधणी : तत्त्व आणि आराखडा

The culture of finfishes in cages has been practiced for years in countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Hongkong. Cage was first used as a holding facility for fish. True cage culture was said to have started in 1243 in China. Use of modern cage materials like synthetic nets, woods and metals started in early 1960’s. The size and shape of the cages are very important for the growth and production of the fishes/ shell fishes living inside it. The design will vary depending on the selected site. The constructed cage must withstand the force of wind and wave while holding the stock safely. The cage must be safe, secure and easy to manage. Circular cage bags make the most efficient use of materials, and thus have the lowest costs per unit volume. Shape is likely to influence effective stocking densities and swimming behaviour, which in turn can influence production. Fish cages can be constructed from a variety of materials. All materials used for the cage should be durable, nontoxic, and rustproof

Information Technology Act 2000 in India - Authentication of E-Documents

The Information Technology Act 2000 has enacted in India on 9th June 2000. This Act has mentioned provision of authentication of electronic document. It is the need of hour at that time that such provision is needed in the Indian Law system, especially for electronic commerce and electronic governance. Electronic commerce”, which involve the use of alternatives to paper based methods of communication and storage information. To do electronic commerce there should be authentication of particular document. The working of internet is the documents are traveling in terms of bits from one destination to other destination, through various media like – Co-axial cable, fiber optic, satellite etc. While traveling this document there is probability of making changes in that document by any third party is high or some document may get changed due to noise/disturbance in communication media. This Act required to provide legal recognition carried out by means of electronic data interchange and other means of electronic communication

Unusual landing of “Koth” Otolithoides biauritus by mini trawler at Versova, Mumbai.

A mini trawler landed an unusual catch of 103 numbers of “Koth” in the size range 770-1050mm each weighing between 2.5 to 5.0kg from a depth of 30 meters, at a distance of 25km off Mumbai, around the fishing grounds of Dahanu and Satpati
