A Still Simpler Way of Introducing the Interior-Point Method for Linear Programming

Linear programming is now included in algorithm undergraduate and postgraduate courses for computer science majors. We give a self-contained treatment of an interior-point method which is particularly tailored to the typical mathematical background of CS students. In particular, only limited knowledge of linear algebra and calculus is assumed.Comment: Updates and replaces arXiv:1412.065

Impacto da COVID-19 na família indiana e o efeito do desbloqueio no turismo na Índia

As the COVID-19 outbreak began in Wuhan on 19th of December 2019, for more than two years this pandemic has affected the life of the people rapidly escalated into a global pandemic and has since impacted every sphere of life. As on 4th July 2021, the pandemic has spread to 213 countries and already affected over 182 million people with over 4 million deaths worldwide. In India we have seen over 30 million cases with over 400,000 deaths in which half of the people have died in second wave. Due to this high numbers of cases and deaths, Indian economy has been hugely impacted by COVID-19. An attempt was made to find out the impact of Covid 19 on Indian family and generation and effect of unlock on tourism in India which therefore forms the questions and which further have been answered in the below article. For the purpose of the study a structured questionnaire was circulated through google form covering all the demographic variables. For the study, 126 respondent responses were taken into consideration and the data collected was analyzed by using IBM -SPSS software.Como el brote de COVID-19 comenzó en Wuhan el 19 de diciembre de 2019, durante más de dos años esta pandemia ha afectado a la vida de la gente, escalando rápidamente a una pandemia global y desde entonces ha impactado en todas las esferas de la vida. Al 4 de julio de 2021, la pandemia se ha extendido a 213 países y ya ha afectado a más de 182 millones de personas con más de 4 millones de muertes en todo el mundo. En la India se han registrado más de 30 millones de casos y más de 400.000 muertes, la mitad de las cuales se han producido en la segunda oleada. Debido a este elevado número de casos y muertes, la economía india se ha visto enormemente afectada por el COVID-19. Se ha intentado averiguar el impacto del Covid 19 en la familia y la generación indias y el efecto del desbloqueo en el turismo en India. Para el estudio se distribuyó un cuestionario estructurado a través de un formulario de Google que cubría todas las variables demográficas. Para el estudio, se tomaron en consideración 126 respuestas de los encuestados y los datos recogidos se analizaron utilizando el software IBM-SPSS.Como o surto da COVID-19 começou em Wuhan em 19 de dezembro de 2019, por mais de dois anos esta pandemia afetou a vida da população rapidamente se transformou em uma pandemia global e, desde então, afetou todas as esferas da vida.

Innovative Teaching Technology for Optimum Skill Development; The Paradigm Shift towards Quality Education as per NEP

What we are practicing today constitutes a traditional style of learning where as new education policy 2020 is looking forward to emphasize upon increasing GER & developing employable skills in the students through optimum learning methods. Since necessity is the mother of invention, so we need innovative learning pedagogy at distinct stages of education i.e. Primary Level, Secondary Level and Higher Education Level. As different age group learners get education at different aforesaid levels and therefore pedagogical styles may vary at Primary, Secondary & Higher Education level of education. Traditional teachers centric pedagogy as on today is gradually shifting towards more effective Learner’s Centric Pedagogy which provides learners a stress free environment, More flexibility and a greater participation than ever before in the history of learning. The paper attempts to investigate most recent innovative teaching practices and futuristic approaches particularly at Higher Education Level (Student Age 16 & above), that would help in developing employable skills in the learners to cater industrial needs. I wish to urge top decision makers to think a while over the findings of the paper for academic excellence especially in the context of higher education

Assessing factors affecting the flexural behavior of metallic foam in-filled sandwich panel

194-199The performances of metallic foam are required to improve under flexural loading condition to fulfill the industrial need. In the present work existing literature has been evaluated to understand the factors (foam density, span length, aspect ratio of test specimen, foam core and face sheet thickness) affecting flexural property of foam in-filled sandwich panel. Delamination of foam in-filled sandwich panel has been reported as the major failure mode during the flexural test. It has also been reported that the metallic bonding between metallic foam and face sheet avoid the chance of delamination under flexural loading conditions. There is also a need to have standard test procedure and standard test geometry to evaluate flexural property of metallic foam in-filled sandwich panel. Its evaluation using FEM based techniques are also reported in brief
