Investigate waste management issue in Mexico Restaurant

Reliable data on waste management and controlling waste will be illuminated in an effective way to suggest better waste management practices in the hospitality industry in New Zealand. This research suggests effective steps to regain and minimize the waste produced in Mexico restaurant, which is located in Victoria Street, Hamilton. To obtain the data, interviews and observation were the preliminary methods used in this research to clearly understand the main cause of the problem by the organisation in terms of waste. This research has covered waste management issues faced in SMEs and steps to control food waste in restaurants. All the collected data are compared and analysed under a statistical result and these results are discussed on the basis of the current waste management practices of the business. The key findings recommend a possible method to control waste and implementing new software to monitor the waste. Further research will carry over under the same stream by influencing engineering methods and machines, which will be a positive deliverable for a sustainable environment and society

Rural Perspective towards Financial Inclusion

Financial Inclusion or inclusive financing is the delivery of financial services at affordable costs to sections of disadvantaged and low-income segments of society, in contrast to financial exclusion where those services are not available or affordable. For the purpose of giving such financial services in easy and convenient way government has developed many financial plans in the rural areas. These plans are helpful for people who want to access financial services. The availability of banking and payment services to the entire population without discrimination is the prime objective of this public policy. Thus the term Financial Inclusion can be defined as the process of ensuring access to financial services and timely and adequate credit where needed by vulnerable groups such as weaker sections and low income groups at an affordable cost. The nations should takeover and remedy to reach the financial services to the weaker sections. So, this study has been undertaken to analyse the prospects of financial inclusion in rural areas.Keywords. Bank, Financial Services, Financial Inclusion, Rural Perspective.JEL. G20, G29, G30

Open source microprocessor and on-chip-bus for system-on-chip

A System-On-Chip (SoC) is a complex integrated circuit that combines blocks of processor, memory and peripheral devices in one chip. SoCs often form the main or the only component of embedded systems. The advantages of the SoC include improvements in performance, size, reliability, power dissipation, cost, and design turn-around time. The hardware blocks – sometimes referred to as intellectual property cores or just IPs – are connected using a proprietary or open on-chip bus (OCB). The SoCs may be fabricated as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs for ASICs are much higher although the unit cost for the finished product is lower. For simpler designs and/or lower production runs, FPGAs are usually more cost-effective. One of the costs in implementing an SoC is acquiring the source code or designing the required cores. An approach for reducing costs is to use open source hardware. Open source cores have the advantages of zero license and royalty cost, ability to modify the cores at will, no limitation on supply and maintenance, portability and simplified prototyping. We discuss our implementation of a skeleton SoC incorporating a DLX processor, the Wishbone on-chip bus, and a memory system. The processor bus- memory combination forms a foundation to which a designer can add more cores such as memory and peripherals as long as they comply with the Wishbone protocol. The DLX processor and memory are described in VHDL, while the Wishbone module is in Verilog HDL. Quartus II software is used to synthesize, compile and verify the functionality of CPU and Wishbone by simulation and timing analysis. The partial SoC system is implemented in Altera APEX20KE200 FPGA board. Nios, which is the core processor in the FPGA board, is used as an intermediate processor which communicates with DLX and the rest of the system via Avalon Bus Protocol to verify system operation and functionality in real hardware environment

Indigenous development of ultra high vacuum (UHV) magnetron sputtering system for the preparation of Permalloy magnetic thin films

We have designed and developed an indigenous ultra high vacuum (UHV) sputtering system which can deposit magnetic thin films with high purity and good uniformity. The equipment consists of state-of the-art technologies and sophistication. With this system it is possible to deposit coatings of various materials on a sample size of 3”3” 3”. The Ni81Fe19 ferromagnetic thin films, with Tantalum (Ta) as a buffer and cap layers have been deposited on silicon substrates using this ultra high vacuum (UHV) sputtering system. The magneto transport measurement study indicated a significant variation in the AMR values of the films for varying thicknesses of tantalum and NiFe layers

Adenosine deaminase(ADA) levels in CSF of tuberculous meningitis (TBM)
