Demonetization of Higher Denomination Banknotes in India and Growth of Mobile Wallet Business Transactions
This paper will discuss the effect of the recent denomination policy of the Government of India on the growth of mobile wallet business transactions. The impact is not going to be same across the different sectors of the economy. The business units that have a larger cash component in their transactions will be affected harder, such as reality, construction, movie production, etc. This will lead to some correction in these markets. Whether these corrections results in reducing prices is something to be watched closely. Demonetization of high value currency notes in India will provide a big boost for mobile wallet in India. Reduction in cash transactions will help multiply digital and plastic transactions such as cheques, credit card and mobile wallets. Keywords: denomination, mobile wallets, online bankin
SWOT Analysis for opening of FDI in Indian Retailing
The retail industry in India is expected to grow at a rate of 14% by 2013. The first step towards allowing Foreign Direct Investment in Retail was taken in the year 2006. Since then 54 FDI approvals have been accepted by the government and the country has received cash inflow to the tune of about Rs 901.64 crore. Retailing consists of all business activities involving the sale of goods and services to ultimate consumers. Retailing involves a retailers traditionally a store or a service establishment, dealing with consumers who are acquiring goods and services for their own use rather than for resale. Wal-Mart, The Limited, Best Buy and other familiar organizations are retailers. Retailing is based more on whether the business deals directly with public. Retail banking, service stations local coffee shops are also retailers with the emergence of online retailing, retailers are no longer concerned about location of stores. E-retailing has emerged. Consumers are always hungry for modern ways of shopping. Indian retail sector is growing fast and its employment potential is growing fast. The retail scene is changing really fast. Retailers are rethinking their approaches towards the suppliers so that they can get the best pricing strategies for them. Retail sector in India is also catalyst for the growth of staling tactics of below the line marketing used by major retail players like Spencer, big bazaar, reliance fresh etc. For tapping customers by creating points of sales displays. So we can say that India is a rising star and going to be one of the fastest growing regions of the future.

Foreign Direct Investment in India and Its Economic Significance In Relation To Development of Various Sectors
This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment and policies on economic development of various sectors of the economy by considering factors affecting FDI, and includes comparative analysis with the help of statistics relating to sectors attracting highest FDI equity inflows for the financial years 2008-09 to 2010-11. One of the most liberal policies for foreign investment and technology transfer is followed by India. Foreign investment gives the Indian industry a chance for technological up gradation, access to global managerial skills and practices, optimum utilization of human capital and natural resources, and to compete efficiently in the international market. FDI is vital for India's integration with the universal production chains that are engaged by various multinationals across the world. FDI is vital for India's integration with the universal production chains that are engaged by various multinationals across the world. There is a mountain of cash available in the world financial markets, some of which is awaiting Indian government signal to flood in. A few rules and policy changes have to be made before the floodgate is open. This money will also bring with it foreign participation, which is sorely needed for this very complex and highly technical sector. FDI has transformed China. It will do the same to India. The question is what is the delay. The first and foremost is to understand bureaucratically how to manage the FDI in the infrastructure sector and how to pay it back with export earnings
Influence of Rrsin and Thickness of Laminate on Flexural Properties of Laminated Composites
Fiber reinforced plastics have been widely used for manufacturing aircraft and spacecraft structural parts
because of their particular mechanical and physical properties such as high specific strength and high specific stiffness. The present investigation was undertaken to determine the influence of Resin & Thickness of Laminates on glass fiber Epoxy, graphite fiber Epoxy and Carbon fiber Epoxy laminates with glass fiber Polyester, graphite fiber polyester and carbon fiber polyester resin under 3- point bend test. the composite laminate specimens are prepared using the vacuum baggage technique and the specimen are subjected to 3 point bending load on a simply supported pins and the investigation is carried out as per the ASTM D790 standards. Flexural properties evaluated are flexural strength and stiffness of the composites system appropriate conclusions was drawn. The purpose of this work is to experimentally analyze the progressive failure process of laminated composites subjected to flexural loads, Flexural loading causes stresses in the composites, which vary through the thickness and reinforcement material used. This research indicates that Flexural strength is mainly dependent on the Type of Resin used & thickness of laminated polymer composite
Effect of Resin and Thickness tensile properties of laminated Composites
The use of composites in the aerospace industry has increased dramatically. Primary benefits that
composite components can offer are reduced weight and assembly simplification. The performance
advantages associated with reducing the weight of aircraft structural elements has been the major impetus
for military aviation composites development. Although commercial carriers have increasingly been
concerned with fuel economy, the potential for reduced production and maintenance costs has proven to be
a major factor in the push towards composites.The results of tensile tests are used in selecting materials for
engineering applications and are frequently includ
ed in material specifications to ensure quality. Tensile properties often are measured during development of new materials and processes, so that different materials and processes can be compared.The present investigation was undertaken to determine the in fluence of Resin & Thickness of Laminates on glass fiber Epoxy, graphite fiber Epoxy and Carbon fiber Epoxy laminates with glass fiber Polyester, graphite fiber polyester and carbon fiber polyester resin under Tensile loads
Synaptic Network Activity Induces Neuronal Differentiation of Adult Hippocampal Precursor Cells through BDNF Signaling
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is regulated by activity. But how do neural precursor cells in the hippocampus respond to surrounding network activity and translate increased neural activity into a developmental program? Here we show that long-term potentiation (LTP)-like synaptic activity within a cellular network of mature hippocampal neurons promotes neuronal differentiation of newly generated cells. In co-cultures of precursor cells with primary hippocampal neurons, LTP-like synaptic plasticity induced by addition of glycine in Mg2+-free media for 5 min, produced synchronous network activity and subsequently increased synaptic strength between neurons. Furthermore, this synchronous network activity led to a significant increase in neuronal differentiation from the co-cultured neural precursor cells. When applied directly to precursor cells, glycine- and Mg2+-free solution did not induce neuronal differentiation. Synaptic plasticity-induced neuronal differentiation of precursor cells was observed in the presence of GABAergic neurotransmission blockers but was dependent on NMDA-mediated Ca2+ influx. Most importantly, neuronal differentiation required the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) from the underlying substrate hippocampal neurons as well as TrkB receptor phosphorylation in precursor cells. This suggests that activity-dependent stem cell differentiation within the hippocampal network is mediated via synaptically evoked BDNF signaling
Evaluation of Efficacy of Laser Ablation in the Management of Oral Leukoplakia
AIM OF THE STUDY : Aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Diode LASER ablation in the
treatment of oral leukoplakia
MATERIALS AND METHODS : We started our study with an aim to evaluate the efficacy of Diode LASER in treating patients with oral leukoplakia. We selected thirty patients who were clinically and
histopathologically diagnosed as leukoplakia. The patients were grouped into two: one group of 15
patients who were managed using conventional antioxidants and another group of 15 treated using
Diode LASER. Salivary antioxidants were evaluated in the pre-treated period and also after three months
follow up.
RESULTS : We could find that there was complete resolution of lesion with minimum patient discomfort in the patients treated with Diode LASER. There was statistically significant difference in the salivary antioxidants levels between pre-treatment period and after three months follow up period. This
difference was noted in patients treated with antioxidants and Diode LASER.
CONCLUSION : Diode LASER is superior to antioxidant therapy in the treatment of oral leukoplakia
regarding clinical wound healing and resolution of the lesion. Salivary antioxidants, SOD and GSH can be
considered as a valuable marker for knowing the treatment outcome and prognosis. We conclude here
by emphasizing the need of further research in the field of oral potentially malignant lesions and salivary
biomarkers
