    Full text link
    A Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication system for smart cities is proposed here. The V2V communication system is an advance wireless technology to reduce the number of fatal roadway accidents by providing early warning messages. For development of smart cities V2V and V2R are important to reduce road accidents on highways. It gives ease of access by providing different facilities such as ATM transaction, accidents safety messages to the transport or central unit. Based on a careful analysis of application requirements, an effective protocol can be used, which comprising congestion control policies, service differentiation mechanisms and methods for emergency warning dissemination. The proposed protocol achieves low latency in delivering emergency warnings and use of efficient bandwidth in stressful road scenarios. This system uses WSN for communication between two vehicle modules

    The main aim of this system is for Maintenance, Safety & Security of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) site and the tower . The major problems faced include the theft of Wires & Diesel , the fluctuation of Temperatures, unauthorized person entry, unnoticedfuel amount ,Current taken by load and the technician’s time management. The instant message about the each activity happening in the site given byGSM modem. The temperature sensors will sense the temperature of the room and if it rises above the threshold value the GSM module will send the message to the mobile. Thetemperature values are displayed on LCD, the controller gives command to cooling Fan to ON & Real time Images recording on PC by using MATLAB software with GUI .The cell site Base Transceiver Station (BTS) which are operated by Diesel generator .When the fuel level goes below the set value a message is sent to the technician requesting for refilling & with Real time Images recording with on PC by using MATLAB software. Door open/close sensor is used for indication of door opening and closing. Wire Theft Status indicated by IR Sensor .The site door can be accessed only through the RFID system. The situation in the site is updated to the technician through messages. PIR sensor used to detects the presence of humans inside the room. The system includes a Current sensor to measure Load Current & Humidity Sensor to sense humidity of BTS room with Real time Images recording on PC. Camera record BTS room. The value of Temperature & Humidity of BTS room, Diesel Level of Generator& Load Current are Logged in PC with respective time & date. Our project improves the performance ability of BTS. This technique is remote controlling and monitoring can be implemented at each and every BTS tower to look after the safety and management of its network

    Empowering girls, delaying marriage: Exploring the role of marital age and education on domestic violence in India

    Domestic violence represents the most important component of violence against women. Whilst some literature report female empowerment as a protective factor against domestic violence, some literature find the opposite because the husband may attempt to compensate for the enhanced status of his wife. This paper aims to investigate the effects of female empowerment in the form of marital age and education on domestic violence in India, where intimate partner violence is amongst the highest in Asia. The analysis is based on the sample of eligible women aged 15-49 with valid response on domestic violence in the 2015- 2016 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) (n=9722). Upon estimating a series of instrumental variable (IV) regressions using age at menarche as an exogenous and strong instrument, we establish a causal relationship between empowerment and domestic violence taking into account the endogeneity of marital age and education. We further disentangle the relationships between domestic violence and age at marriage and education, separately. In addition, we investigate how maritage age and education influence domestic violence through labour market participation and spouse quality channels. We find that: i) empowered women do experience less domestic violence; ii) marital age and education are partially complementary; iii) labour market participation and spousal quality are relevant mediators of these relationships. Policies aiming at reducing domestic violence in India hence should be holistic, focussing on investing in education both for women and men and improving the conditions of the women’ labour market

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we have developed an algorithm to obtain initial basic feasible solution of transportation problems where the object is to minimize the transportation cost. The proposed method is compared with well-known existing methods including Least-Cost Method and North-West Corner Method and is found to yield better results. Feasible solution from the proposed method leads to solution closest to the optimal solution; and in some numerical examples same as the optimal solution. Key words: Transportation problem, Initial Basic Feasible Solution, Optimal Solutio

    Coated and uncoated tool inserts offers certain degrees of control on the desired rate of tool wear and surface roughness to an extent. This work pursues the quest for realizing the optimal values for the significant process parameters that bears an influence on the response parameters. Experiments were conducted on the samples of EN 24 alloy steel material with the help of PVD coated TiAlN insert and uncoated carbide insert. The experimental runs carried out with proper variation in the levels. Levels are selected with the help of manufacturing catalogue and by pilot experimentation and results are recorded for further analysis. For this study, 9 runs designed using L9 orthogonal array of Taguchi Design of Experiment. Surface roughness was measured using a Mitutoyo surface tester at test lab and material removal rate is calculated by mathematical equation. The data was compiled into Minitab 17 software for analysis. The relationship between the machining parameters and the response variables were analyzed using the Taguchi Method. Optimization of process parameters is carried out by Grey Relational Analysis method (GRA). GRA method is a powerful and most versatile tool which can manipulate the input data as per requirement and comes with results that can be used to have best multi-objective in respective concerns

    Grounded Theory of Consumer Loyalty: A Perspective through Video Game Addiction

    Get PDF
    Game addiction has become an extremely important topic in psychology researchers, particularly in understanding and explaining why individuals become addicted (to video games). In previous studies, effect of online game addiction on social responsibilities, health problems, government action, and the behaviors of individuals to purchase and the causes of making individuals addicted on the video games has been discussed. Extending these concepts in marketing, it could be argued than the phenomenon could enlighten and extending our understanding on consumer loyalty. This study took the Grounded Theory approach, and found that motivation, satisfaction, fulfillments, exploration and achievements to be part of the important elements that builds consumer loyalty
