Regional Input Output Table for the State of Punjab

Because of policy relevance of regional input-output analysis, a vast literature on the construction of regional input-output tables has emerged in the recent past, especially on the non-survey and hybrid methods. Although, construction of regional input-output tables is not new in India, but generation of input-output table using non-survey methods is relatively a rare phenomenon. This work validates alternative non-survey, location quotient methodologies and finally uses comparatively better approach to generate the forty two sector regional input-output table for the state of Punjab for 2006-07.Regional, Input-Output, Location Quotients

Changing Character of Rural Economy and Migrant Labour in Punjab

Rural economy of Punjab has been undergoing structural transformation. But the dependence of rural population in general and rural labour in particular for earning livelihood from the rural economy continues. This process of rural transformation has perpetuated the distress among the rural workforce. It is strange phenomenon that migrant labour continues to pour into the rural areas. The rural economy of Punjab, due to wage gap, continues to attract huge amount of inflow of people from other poorer states of India. Rural-rural migration, which is largely seasonal and stay of workers in most cases, is less than six months. Therefore, the official statistics on migration grossly under record the rural-rural migration. Attempt has been made in this paper to fill this gap. Despite the fact that rural real wage rate has declined between the period 1990 and 2000, however, rural-rural migration has increased during the same period. The majority of the migrants (more than 90 per cent) are able to find work in agriculture up to 50 days in a year. It has wide ranging implications for the rural-rural migration and level of living of the families of the migrants.Rural-rural migration, Punjab, Rural economy, migrant labour

The Effects of MAPCVD-Diamond Coating on the Phase Stability and Microstructure of Zirconia (Y-TZP) Cutting Tool Inserts

Yttria-tetragonal zirconia ceramics (Y-TZP) ceramics is considered as one of the most promising material for cutting tool applications due to its unique combination of chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Although Y-TZP ceramics is tough and strong, tool bits need to be simultaneously hard, tough and wear resistant. However, high hardness is usually associated with brittleness. Hence, there always has to be a compromise between the desired hardness and the necessary toughness. In the present work, the effect of coating a thin film of diamond on the surface of Y-TZP inserts by employing Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (MAPCVD) technique was studied. The Y-TZP inserts were prepared and sintered to full density at 1400·C prior to MAPCVD process. Selected sintered inserts were surface-ground using a coarse and fine SiC paper while another was polished to 1 I'm finish prior to MAPCVD treatment. It has been found that nucleation of CVD diamond particles only occurred on Y-TZP surface polished to 1 IJITl finish. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis performed on other Y-TZP inserts did not revealed any strong peaks corresponding to crystaI line diamond phase and these were confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). However, chemical reaction between Zr and carbon from the reducing atmosphere in the chamber did occur in all of the treated inserts to form a new phase, ZrC. Although diamond nucleation was not observed in both the pre-ground and CVD treated surfaces, SEM examination of these so treated surfaces revealed fine-grained structure believed to have recrystal lised from the severely damaged ground surface

Improving Data Access Performance Using Coherence Caching in SOA and ADF Application

In the Current software applications design, there are multiple calls made to the Data base from various applications like ADF, SOA etc. These data base calls make resources busy between applications and data base. Frequently data base call makes system/Applications slow. So now a days we are dealing with large applications with loads of read and write operations and every call made to the data base will cost more from the performance perspective. As a workaround, We will provide solutions cache, a cache is a component that transparently stores data so that future request for that data can be served faster. Oracle Coherence is a caching strategy so by cache will increase the performance of data fetching and End User will get fast response to his query. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150519

An Experimental Approach to Study the Effect of Welding Parameters on Similar Friction Stir Welded Joints of AZ31B-O Mg Alloy

AbstractIn this investigation an attempt has been made to study the effect of friction stir welding parameters on mechanical and metallurgical properties of AZ31B-O Mg alloy joints. The selected material was welded using combination of different parameters i.e. tool rotational speed, welding speed and tool shoulder diameter. The effect of weld pitch i.e. ratio of welding speed to tool rotational speed (0.0020mm/rev to 0.05mm/rev) was examined on the mechanical and micro structural properties of friction stir welded joints of AZ31B-O Mg alloy. The linear relationship between tensile strength and weld pitch was observed. The maximum value of tensile strength i.e. 187.8N/mm2 was obtained at weld pitch of 0.05mm/rev using 20mm tool shoulder diameter. Most of the tensile test specimens fractured in the area between Stir Zone (SZ) and Thermo Mechanical Affected Zone (TMAZ) towards the advancing side. The fine and equiaxed grains were observed due to dynamic recrystallization at higher value of weld pitch

Optimizing the OSPF Data Base

OSPF routing protocol major problem are large size Per Area and OSPF maintain multiple copies of routing information’s. Lower convergence time ie slower Processing, Band width is wasted, increase of memory needed due to OSPF large data base Per Area. We will provide solutions for large data base problem that will increase the OSPF performance, reduce the size of routing table, and reduce the memory size, reduce hardware cost.

Novel TiO2 Photocatalyst Using Nonaqueous Solvent- Controlled Sol-Gel Route

Synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles with tailored properties is of great interest because of their potential in environmental, sensor, biomedical and energy applications. Specifically, TiO2 gets special attention because of its high stability, biocompatibility, tunable band gap and surface properties. Aqueous sol-gel routes for the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles are well established but suffer from little control over morphology and reproducibility. Nonaqueous solvent controlled sol-gel routes are good alternative to aqueous routes for the synthesis of highly crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles with high purity and controlled doping of large size metallic ions. Present chapter describes the successful doping of large sized Zr and Na metal ions at Ti site and their influence on photo catalytic activity of TiO2. The higher photo catalytic activity (even better than commercially available Degussa P25) of metal doped TiO2 nanopowder is attributed to large surface area and reduced electron-hole recombination rate

Formulation Taste Masked Orodispersible Tablet of Pregabalin

In the present work, orodispersible tablets of Pregabalin were designed by preparing tasteless complexes of Pregabalin with weak cation ion exchange resins (KYRON T 134). The ion exchange complexes were prepared by the batch process using activated Kyron T 134 with a drug: resin ratios 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 (% w/w). IR analysis, assay content and decomplexation studies confirmed complex formation. It was found that maximum complexation of drug with resin was noted between pH range 5.5-7, while activation of ion exchange resin does not affects the percent drug loading. Drug release from drug: resin complex in salivary pH was insufficient to impart bitter taste. A study on super-disintegrants along with directly compressible diluents is studied and its effect on disintegration time and enhance mouth feel. The prepared batches of tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, drug content uniformity and in vitro dispersion time. Based on in vitro disintegration time (approximately 30 s), formulations were tested for in vitro drug release pattern (in 0.06 N HCl)
