An Analysis of Remuneration, Employment & VRS at Executive level in CPSEs

This project attempts to discuss the remuneration,employment and VRS in the CPSEs especially at the executive level. This has been discussed in details in different chapters. In the first chapter, the theoretical aspect of the CPSE & their employment, remuneration and VRS policy have been discussed. In the second chapter, the remuneration policies for executives of the CPSEs have been discussed.For this, the recommendations of the first and second Pay Revision Committee (basis of determining remuneration for executives of the CPSEs) have been discussed along with some suggestions for a better implementation. In the third chapter, the employment trend including recruitment and retirement trend of the executive have been analyzed both aggregate and sector wise. During the analysis, some observations were made which have been discussed. In the fourth chapter, an analysis has been done regarding VRS in the CPSEs at the executive level. By using regression line, a relationship between the surplus manpower and VRS have been found which have been also discussed in detail. In the fifth chapter, the relationship between the remuneration policy of the CPSEs & the employment and VRS trend have been analyzed by dividing the CPSEs into Navratnas and Miniratnas & Non-Navratnas and Non-Miniratnas. In the sixth chapter, the future impact of the implementation of 2007 pay revision on the employment of the executives has been discussed especially in the context of the recent slowdown. Finally the conclusion of the whole analysis has been summarized upon in the last chapter.CPSEs, Remuneration, V.R.S., Navaratnas, Miniratnas, Executives

International Migration, Remittances and its Macroeconomic Impact on Indian Economy

This paper tried to study the impact of remittances on various macroeconomic and developmental aspects for the Indian economy. For this, the data regarding remittances and some of the macroeconomic variables like GDP, PFCE, GDFC, savings, FDI, FII, export, import and balance of trade deficit etc have been analyzed for the period 1971-2008. The study shows that remittances have been consistently increasing at very fast rate for the last 15 years which have significant implications on the above mentioned macroeconomic variables. Through this study, the importance of remittances as a source of external development finance has been discussed. At last, some of the regulatory frameworks governing the flow of remittances have also been discussed.

Biophysical characterisation of LcrH, a class II chaperone of the type III secretion system

The type three-secretion system (T3SS) is a large and complex protein nano-machine that many gram-negative pathogens employ to infect host cells. A key structure of this machine is a proteinaceous pore that inserts into the target membrane and forms a channel for bacterial toxins to flow from bacteria into the host cell. The pore is mainly formed from two large membrane proteins called “translocators”. Importantly, effective secretion and thus pore formation of the translocators depends on their binding to and being transported by small specialized chaperones after synthesis in the bacterial cytosol. Recent crystal structures have shown these chaperones are formed from modular tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs). However, each crystal structure produced different homodimeric structures, suggesting flexibility in their topology that may be of importance to function. Given the crucial role of the translocator chaperones, we investigated the conformational stability of the chaperone LcrH (Yersinia pestis). Mutational analysis coupled with analytical ultra-centrifugation and equilibrium chemical denaturations showed that LcrH is a weak and thermodynamically unstable dimer (KD ≈ 15 μM, ΔGH2O = 7.4 kcalmol-1). The modular TPR structure of the dimer allows it to readily unfold in a non-cooperative manner to a one-third unfolded dimeric intermediate (ΔGH2O = 1.7 kcalmol-1), before cooperatively unfolding to a monomeric denatured state (ΔGH2O = 5.7 kcalmol-1). Thus under physiological conditions the chaperone is able to populate C-terminally unravelled partially folded states, whilst being held together by its dimeric interface. Such ability suggests a “fly-casting” mechanism as a route to binding their far larger translocator cargo

A CLINICAL STUDY OF EVALUATION OF THE FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF DISTAL END FEMUR FRACTURE MANAGEMENT, BIHAR, INDIA.

BackgroundNearly six percent of all femur fractures are distal fractures. The purpose of this study was to assess how treating distal femur fractures affected functional results. Materials and Methods64 patients of both sexes who had distal femur fractures were analyzed. The study noted details including the fracture subtype, affected side, and etiology of damage. Utilizing the Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College, Gaya for Special Surgery scoring system, functional results were evaluated. ResultsOf the 64 patients, 30 were men and 34 were women. Thirty incidents of injuries were caused by traffic accidents, 17 by falls, and 19 by other reasons. 13 individuals had fractures to their right side, and 27 to their left. In 40 cases, treatment involved open reduction with locking compression plates; in the other 18 cases, closed reduction was used. The average knee score was 88.2, and the range of knee flexion was 101 degrees. In 54 cases, the functional outcomes were excellent, in 21 cases good, and in 4 cases fair. Two cases of limb length discrepancy, one case of malunion, two cases of shortening, and two cases of knee stiffness were among the complications. ConclusionBoth closed reduction and open reduction with securing compression plates were employed as therapeutic modalities for the management of distal femur fractures. The majority of cases had very good functional results. RecommendationsBased on the study's findings, it is recommended that for the management of distal femur fractures, healthcare professionals consider both closed reduction and open reduction with securing compression plates as viable treatment modalities. These approaches have shown positive functional outcomes, with the majority of cases achieving excellent results in terms of knee function and mobility

Metric dimension of line graph of the subdivision of the graphs of convex polytopes

The metric generator for the simple connected graph Γ is the set of vertices Y ⊆ V(Γ) with the property that every pair of vertices u, v(u 6= v) ∈ V are determined (or resolved) by some vertex of Y. The minimum possible cardinality of this metric generator is called the metric dimension of Γ, denoted by dim(Γ)or β(Γ). In this article, we determine the exact metric dimension and some other properties of the line graph of the subdivision graph of the graph of convex polytope Dn (exists in the literature).Publisher's Versio

On the metric dimension of a class of planar graphs

Let H = (V, E) be a non-trivial connected graph with vertex set V and edge set E. A set of ordered vertices Rm from V (H) is said to be a resolving set for H if each vertex of H is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices of Rm. The number of vertices in a smallest resolving set is called the metric dimension of H. In this article, we study the metric dimension for a rotationally symmetric family of planar graphs, each of which is shown to have an independent minimum resolving set of cardinality three.Publisher's Versio

TEACHING-LEARNING-BASED PARAMETRIC OPTIMIZATION OF AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING PROCESS

Due to several unique features, electrical discharge machining (EDM) has proved itself as one of the efficient non-traditional machining processes for generating intricate shape geometries on various advanced engineering materials in order to fulfill the requirement of the present day manufacturing industries. In this paper, the machining capability of an EDM process is studied during standard hole making operation on pearlitic SG iron 450/12 grade material, while considering gap voltage, peak current, cycle time and tool rotation as input parameters. On the other hand, material removal rate, surface roughness, tool wear rate, overcut and circularity error are treated as responses. Based on single- and multi-objective optimization models, this process is optimized using the teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm, and its performance is contrasted against firefly algorithm, differential evolution algorithm and cuckoo search algorithm. It is revealed that the TLBO algorithm supersedes the others with respect to accuracy and consistency of the derived optimal solutions, and computational efforts
