Productivity Improvement Techniques for Casting

The purpose of this research is to improve productivity for small and medium scale casting industry. This research focused on the company, which produce various components by casting processes. This research used changes in; flow of material movement for better utilization of plant area for improves the productivity. Objectives towards accomplished this study is to identify problems in the casting industry and improved it in terms of reduction in production time, number of manual process and back flow of materials by proposing an efficient plant layout and design of components used for loading of material used in casting process. This research used systematic plant layout technique, concept of semi automation in casting process, material handling system. The improvement in productivity was executed by eliminating back flow of work process, which reduces production time, number of process and effectively utilization of plant area Overall productivity improvement by solve problems of ergonomics, manual process, material handling, ineffective utilization of plant area, back flow of materials, etc. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.16044

Assessment of nutritional status of children in Ayurveda

Nutrition is basic need of life and thus play an important role in health promotion and disease prevention.

In Ayurveda there are so many tools explained to assess the nutritional status by different authors in different texts. Some of the important assessment criteria are described in the context like dashavidha pareeksha, asthavidha pareeksha and other criteria’s which will help the physician to decide the treatment plan

Survey On Moving Towards Frequent Pattern Growth for Infrequent Weighted Itemset Mining

In data mining and knowledge discovery technique domain, frequent pattern mining plays an important role but it does not consider different weight value of the items. Association Rule Mining is to find the correlation between data. The frequent itemsets are patterns or items like itemsets, substructures, or subsequences that come out in a data set frequently or continuously. In this paper we are presenting survey of various frequent pattern mining and weighted itemset mining. Different articles related to frequent and weighted infrequent itemset mining were proposed. This paper focus on survey of various Existing Algorithms related to frequent and infrequent itemset mining which creates a path for future researches in the field of Association Rule Mining

A Bird view on Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Tube with Twisted Tape Insert

Different kinds of methods used to enhance heat transfer rate of heat exchanger without influencing overall performance of the heat exchanger referred as heat transfer enhancement techniques. This technique are categorized into three types i.e. active technique, passive technique, and compound technique Some of the application of heat exchanger which require enhancement in heat transfer are – Air conditioning equipments, radiators, refrigerators, thermal Power plants etc. The intention of enhanced heat transfer is to encourage high heat fluxes, this result in reduction in size of heat exchanger. The present paper is a review of research work in last decade on heat transfer enhancement in a Heat Exchanger DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15037

A study to assess effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on gastro intestinal tract assessment among student nurses of tertiary care hospital: a statistical approach

Background: The gastro intestinal is important system in the human body. Many times it is found that its uneasy for student nurses to check the patient. So, there is need to improve the available learning programmes regarding gastro intestinal tract assessment.So, it was necessary to conduct this study for educating student nurses regarding the gastro intestinal tract assessment to improve their knowledge. The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge of student nurses regarding gastro-intestinal tract assessment and to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding gastro intestinal tract assessment.Methods: Material and methods used for the study is the evaluative approach; one group pre test, post test design was used. Study was conducted on sample of 70 student nurses by using convenient sampling technique. The data were collected by structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The mean knowledge score of student nurses during the pre-test was 39.89% where as it had raised up to 72% during the post-test regarding gastro intestinal tract assessment as effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme. Therefore, the difference assessed was 32.11% between pre-test and post-test.Conclusions: There was significant difference between the pre-test knowledge level and post-test knowledge level of student nurses on gastro intestinal tract assessment. Hence health education programs and on-going teaching both can further improve the knowledge of student nurses
