A NEW GENERATION PROGRAM FOR AUTOMOBILE POSITIONING SYSTEM

When using the cell phone programs, communication will occur when the wise phone is placed close to the NFC visitors. Ahead of time, the wise phone is installed when using the android apps to completely utilize the functions of ISCAPS. When using the cell phone programs, customer may reserve car park in advance, permitting the customer to complement later. Instead of while using the conventional “Season Pass” or ticket, ISCAPS uses the Near Field Communication (NFC) cause of wise phone as parking ticket. Innovative Wise Vehicle Parking System (ISCAPS) integrated with e-Valet technology is recommended in this paper. When using the recommended ISCAPS using RFID (RF Identification) cards and paper tickets will likely be removed resulting less pricey, more convenience and eco-friendly. The e-Valet function works like what sort of valet parking would function. It ensures car park availability for that incoming customer. Therefore, customer only must tap the wise phone over the designated visitors to enter the car park and tap again going to accomplish payment. Adriano microcontroller may be used since the brain inside the system and control the input progression of the system. In addition, vehicle searching function is incorporated, that helps clients to uncover their vehicle when forgotten

SYNTHESIS AND SPECTRAL CHARACTERIZATION OF 1,2,4- TRIAZOLE DERIVATIVES

The azole derivatives are the prominent players in the pharmaceutical research as they possess several biological properties. In particular, triazoles represent a class of heterocyclic compounds with a wide variety of biological activities. Furthermore, heterocyclic compounds containing a 1,2,4-triazole nucleus have a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiproliferative and apoptotic properties. Hence biological importance of heterocyclic compounds containing 1, 2, 4-triazole with their pharmacological potential has thereby made them extremely attractive research targets. Based on the above essential information, we have designed and synthesized different 1,2,4-triazole derivatives

Exploring farmers’ communication pattern and satisfaction regarding the adoption of Agromet advisory services in semi-arid regions of southern India

Agriculture is significantly impacted by the variability in weather patterns, imposing substantial constraints on farmers’ ability to make informed tactical and strategic decisions regarding their crops. Seasonal climate projections have shown potential for informing agricultural decisions, but the actual adoption of climate information by farmers has been relatively slow and limited. The present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the characteristics of adopters, the communication network, and the level of farmer’s satisfaction concerning the adoption and continued use of Agromet Advisories Services (AAS). Two semi-arid districts, namely Kurnool and Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, were purposively selected, wherein 280 farmers constituted the sampling frame. In this study, social network analysis (SNA) was conducted to examine the peer-to-peer communication patterns, while importance-performance analysis (IPA) was employed to evaluate farmer’s satisfaction, contributing to the continued adoption of AAS. The findings revealed that with regard to personality and communication characteristics, farmers were in the low category for their ability to cope with uncertainties and risk and even for their information-seeking behavior. Furthermore, the results showed farmers to be highly satisfied with the overall adoption of AAS. However, the IPA matrix revealed that among the nine attributes, the credibility of the forecasts needed refinement to promote sustained adoption. Excessive emphasis was placed on attributes such as the frequency of forecasts, which could be channeled into other initiatives. Peer-to-peer communication emerged as a crucial strategy in the adoption of AAS. Governments, non-governmental organizations, and extension functionaries should make a concerted effort to enhance the continued adoption of AAS by involving local stakeholders in sharing and participating in climate information production, forming farmer’s groups, and focusing on farmers’ literacy toward AAS

Assessing unrealized yield potential of maize producing districts in India

The projected demand of maize production in India in 2050 is 4–5 times of current production. With the scope for area expansion being limited, there is need for enhancement of yield. This calls for identifying areas where huge unrealized yield potential exists. With a view to address the issue, the present study delineates homogeneous agro-climatic zones for maize production system in India taking district as a unit and using the factors production, viz. climate, soil, season and irrigated area under the crop. There are 146 districts in India that grow maize as a major crop. They were divided into 26 zones using multivariate cluster analysis. Study of variation in yield between districts within a zone vis-à-vis crop management practices adopted in those districts was found useful in targeting the yield gaps. These findings can have direct relevance to the maize farmers and district level administrators

First Community-Wide, Comparative Cross-Linking Mass Spectrometry Study

The number of publications in the field of chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to derive constraints for protein three-dimensional structure modeling and to probe protein-protein interactions has increased during the last years. As the technique is now becoming routine for in vitro and in vivo applications in proteomics and structural biology there is a pressing need to define protocols as well as data analysis and reporting formats. Such consensus formats should become accepted in the field and be shown to lead to reproducible results. This first, community-based harmonization study on XL-MS is based on the results of 32 groups participating worldwide. The aim of this paper is to summarize the status quo of XL-MS and to compare and evaluate existing cross-linking strategies. Our study therefore builds the framework for establishing best practice guidelines to conduct cross-linking experiments, perform data analysis, and define reporting formats with the ultimate goal of assisting scientists to generate accurate and reproducible XL-MS results

2006 A heuristic based on multi-stage programming approach for machine-loading problem in a flexible manufacturing system. Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing 22

Abstract Manufacturing industries are rapidly changing from economies of scale to economies of scope, characterized by short product life cycles and increased product varieties. This implies a need to improve the efficiency of job shops while still maintaining their flexibility. These objectives are achieved by Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). The basic aim of FMS is to bring together the productivity of flow lines and the flexibility of job shops. This duality of objectives makes the management of an FMS complex. In this article, the loading problem in random type FMS, which is viewed as selecting a subset of jobs from the job pool and allocating them among available machines, is considered. A heuristic based on multi-stage programming approach is proposed to solve this problem. The objective considered is to minimize the system unbalance while satisfying the technological constraints such as availability of machining time and tool slots. The performance of the proposed heuristic is tested on 10 sample problems available in FMS literature and compared with existing solution methods. It has been found that the proposed heuristic gives good results.

Reactivity of allenylphosphonates toward salicylaldehydes and activated phenols: facile synthesis of chromenes and substituted butadienes

The reaction of salicylaldehydes with allenylphosphonates in the presence of a base leads to a variety of phosphono-chromenes and allylic phosphonates. Optimization of reaction conditions reveals that DBU (base) in DMSO (solvent) is the best combination in most cases, with DBU acting as an organocatalyst. PEG-400 also gave good results, but the yields were slightly lower than that in DMSO. Several of the key products have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Interconversion of E and Z isomers of phosphono-chromenes is demonstrated by 31P NMR spectroscopy. A novel P-C bond cleavage reaction of some of these chromenes leading to substituted enones is also reported. In a few cases, phenol addition products are also isolated. In order to probe the pathways in the latter reaction, allenylphosphonates have also been treated with activated phenols in the presence of base to selectively afford either allylic phosphonyl ethers or vinylic phosphonyl ethers depending on the substituents on the allenylphosphonate. Theoretical calculations were consistent with experimental results. Finally, utilization of allylic phosphonyl ether in the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction to afford substituted trans-1,3-butadiene in good yields is demonstrated
