Quantum Cournot equilibrium for the Hotelling-Smithies model of product choice

This paper demonstrates the quantization of a spatial Cournot duopoly model with product choice, a two stage game focusing on non-cooperation in locations and quantities. With quantization, the players can access a continuous set of strategies, using continuous variable quantum mechanical approach. The presence of quantum entanglement in the initial state identifies a quantity equilibrium for every location pair choice with any transport cost. Also higher profit is obtained by the firms at Nash equilibrium. Adoption of quantum strategies rewards us by the existence of a larger quantum strategic space at equilibrium.Comment: 13 pages, 6 tables, 8 figure

Hadoop Distributed file system, Hive and Its Applications: A Survey

Business intelligence is growing area across the industry and data getting collected and analyzed in rapid way due to which legacy warehousing tools has become very costly. Hadoop is framework which is open source and stores data and runs applications on cluster of normal i.e commodity hardware. Hadoop provides large amount of processing power and storage for various kinds of data. It is able to handle concurrent tasks or jobs. HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) is a distributed file system which can provide high performance data access across Hadoop cluster of servers. Due to Managing pools of big data and supporting big data analytics application HDFS has become a strong tool. Developer has to write custom programs in map reduce programming model which are difficult to maintain and reuse. Hive is open source solution built on top of hadoop which is used as data ware house. Hive supports HiveQL which is SQL-like language, which are compiled into mapreduce jobs to be executed on Hadoop

Equity Reports Optimization Using Hive, HDFS.

Now a day there is much competition in stock market world. Every brokerage firm Want to lesser down the TURN AROUND TIME for their applications so that business users/analyzers could be able provide solutions to their clients within a time frame. Equity clients prefer to do a business with firms which provide the very fast solutions for their queries. To solve clients query users has to fetch the reports from the software system. As stock market is time critical business. Every corporate has minimum time frame to take their business decisions. For taking business decisions in fast way, we should have usable data available within a time frame. With the help of reporting and research applications, it becomes easy to make accurate business data available in fast way

Trends in Private Equity and Venture Capital Investments with Special Focus on the Booming India Growth Story

Private Equity investments have restructured the trend of acquisitions and aided in valuecreation as against strategic buyers. Private equity’s growing involvement in many sectors is evenmore striking. The nature of investments of private equity firms and funds, the strategies employed,value creating practices, profitable exits are significantly different from that of other strategic andcorporate buyers. The paper deals with the above aspects. The paper is divided into two parts. Part Ideals with the basics of private equity investment structures and exits. Part II of the paper deals withthe private equity growth story in India. Private equity investments, proposed changes to regulations,sectoral growth, venture capital regulations as well as impact of the latest Union budget a thecredit crunch have been dealt with

iTimer - Count On Your Time

In current lifestyle people tend to waste a lot of time in doing unnecessary activities like watching movies, playing video games, window shopping, etc. Many a times they are not aware of the cumulative time they spend wastefully. They can use their time constructively if they were informed about it through a mobile app. In our project we aim to develop an app which helps in monitoring the amount of time spent in such activities at various locations and inform the user about the same through visual display on Google maps. This app displays the summary of the locations visited during the day along with timestamps for better analyzing of data

Correlation of Clinical Examination, MRI and Arthroscopy Findings in Menisco-Cruciate Injuries of the Knee: A Prospective Diagnostic Study

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the correlation of the clinical examination, MRI and arthroscopic findings in cruciate ligaments and meniscal injuries of knee and to evaluate the accuracy of clinical examination and MRI with the gold standard arthroscopy. Methods: A prospective diagnostic double-blind study was conducted on 104 consecutive patients admitted to the outdoor/casualty with trauma to the knee complaining of knee pain/locking/ instability, from August 2012 to June 2014. All the patients were subjected to clinical examination, MRI scanning and diagnostic arthroscopy. Variables like sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of clinical examination and MRI against arthroscopy were evaluated. Results: The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of clinical examination for anterior cruciate ligament tears were 94.7%, 71.4% and 88.5% and for MRI were 94.7%, 78.6% and 90.4%, respectively; for posterior cruciate ligament tears 100%, 100% and 100% for clinical examination and for MRI 80%, 97.9% and 96.2%, respectively. These values for medial meniscus tears were 76.5%, 68.6% and 71.2% for clinical examination and 88.2%, 62.8% and 71.2% respectively for MRI. For lateral meniscus tears, 40%, 94.6% and 78.8% for clinical examination and 46.7%, 89.2% and 76.9% respectively for MRI. Conclusions: A skillfully performed clinical examination establishes a diagnosis on which an arthroscopic procedure can be planned, reserving MRI scans for patients where the clinical examination fails to establish a diagnosis or cannot be performed. Decision to use MRI should be based on the criteria that it would confirm, expand the diagnosis or change diagnosis in such a way that alters the proposed treatment
