Participative Management in Post Liberalisation- A case study of Indian Jute industry

The concept of employee participation in organization’s decision making is not new. However, the idea couldn’t gain that much popularity among organizations. Studies have shown that only 3-5 percent of organizations have actually implemented this concept in their daily operations. Jute Industry is one of the oldest and high labour intensive industries particularly unskilled and semiskilled. This industry lost huge number of manly hours and productivity due to poor industrial relations. Various studies revealed that the industrial relations are improved in post liberalization in India. So, the researcher studied the importance and application of participative management in post liberalization in this industry. The researcher collected the opinions from the sample respondents through a questionnaire and analyzed with five point Likert scale and weighted average. It reveals in post liberalization employers recognized the importance of participative management which improve the operational efficiency of the employees and maintain cordial industrial relations. Keywords: Participative Management, industrial relations, liberalization, jute industry, operational efficiency, productivity, employee involvement, job enrichment

Collaborative Concealment of Spatio-Temporal Mobile Sequential Patterns

Recent advances in communication and information technology such as the increasing accuracy of GPS technology and the portability of wireless communication devices coat the way for Location Based Services LBS Based on the data collected from the location aware mobile devices data mining techniques are used to meet the quality requirements of expected services The efficient management of moving object databases has gained much interest in recent years due to the development of mobile communication and positioning technologies A typical way of representing moving objects is to use the trajectories Much work has focused on the topics of indexing query processing and data mining of moving object trajectories but little attention has been paid to the preservation of privacy in this setting The major contribution of this paper is to provide privacy to the users of Location Based Services along with capturing interesting user s behavior pattern by broaden the ideas presented in the datamining-literatur

Snow cover, snowmelt and runoff in the Himalayan River basins

Not withstanding the seasonal vagaries of both rainfall amount and snowcover extent, the Himalayan rivers retain their basic perennial character. However, it is the component of snowmelt yield that accounts for some 60 to 70 percent of the total annual flow volumes from Hamilayan watersheds. On this large hydropotential predominantly depends the temporal performance of hydropower generation and major irrigation projects. The large scale effects of Himalayan snowcover on the hydrologic responses of a few selected catchments in western Himalayas was studied. The antecedent effects of snowcover area on long and short term meltwater yields can best be analyzed by developing appropriate hydrologic models forecasting the pattern of snowmelt as a function of variations in snowcover area. It is hoped that these models would be of practical value in the management of water resources. The predictability of meltwater for the entire snowmelt season was studied, as was the concurrent flow variation in adjacent watersheds, and their hydrologic significance. And the applicability of the Snowmelt-Runoff Model for real time forecast of daily discharges during the major part of the snowmelt season is examined

A NEW STABILITY-INDICATING RP-HPLC-PDA METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF TRIPLICATE MIXTURE OF RAMIPRIL, ATORVASTATIN AND CLOPIDOGREL IN TABLET DOSAGE FORM

Objective: To develop a novel, accurate, precise and linear reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for simultaneous quantitative estimation of ramipril, atorvastatin and clopidogrel in Atamra-CV tablet and validate as per international conference on harmonization (ICH) guidelines and to perform the force degradation studies using the developed method.Methods: In the present work, the good chromatographic separation was achieved isocratically using a shim-pack HPLC Kromasil 150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 m. m. And mobile phase consisting of 0.05 M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate pH 3 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid and acetonitrile in the ratio (52:48), at flow rate 1 ml/min and column temperature (30 °C). The effluents obtained were monitored at 210 nm with the UV-visible detector.Results: The retention time of ramipril, atorvastatin and clopidogrel was found to be 2.893 min, 5.012 min and 6.102 min respectively. The linearity of ramipril, atorvastatin and clopidogrel was found in the range of 25-150 % and the correlation coefficient for ramipril, atorvastatin and clopidogrel were>0.999. The high recovery values (98%-101%) indicate a satisfactory accuracy. The low percent relative standard deviation (% RSD) values in the precision study reveals that the method is precise. The three-drug samples were subjected to stress conditions of acidic and alkaline hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation. The proposed method proved to be stability-indicating by resolution of the analytes from their forced-degradation products.Conclusion: The developed method is novel, simple, precise, rapid, accurate and reproducible for simultaneous estimation of ramipril, atorvastatin and clopidogrel tablet dosage form. Hence the proposed method may find practical applications as a quality-control tool in the simultaneous analysis of the three drugs in combined dosage forms in quality-control laboratories. The proposed method was made use of photodiode array (PDA) as a tool for peak identification and purity confirmation

Synthesis and Characterization of Er Doped CaZrO3 Phosphors

The present paper reports the synthesis and Photoluminescence (PL) studies of the Er rare earth ions doped in CaZrO3 phosphor at a concentration of 2 mol%. Starting materials like Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), Zirconium oxide(ZrO2),Erbium Oxide (Er2O3). The samples were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method, which is the most suitable for large-scale product ion. The received phosphor samples were characterized using XRD, SEM and PL techniques. Undoped CaZrO3 exhibits good photoluminescence emission. The PL emission mainly concentrates around 467 nm, when excited with 254 nm wavelengths. The CaZrO3 phosphor, when doped with Er the PL emission was observed from 400 to 560 nm range peaks around 527 ,531,545 and 553nm with high intensity. The present phosphor can act as host for greenlight emission in compact fluorescent (CFL) and fluorescent lamps

Influence of Host Genotype on Uredospore Production and Germinability in Puccinia arachidis.

Uredospore production by Puccinia arachidis was studied on inoculated detached leaves of one susceptible and five resistant genotypes of peanut (Arachis hypogaea). Significantly fewer uredospores were produced per unit leaf area and per unit pustule area on the resistant than on the susceptible genotypes. Germinability tests carried out on uredospores from three susceptible, one moderately resistant, and 15 resistant genotypes showed that uredospores from resistant genotypes had significantly lower germinability than those from the moderately resistant and the susceptible genotypes. The significance of uredospore production and germinability in relation to resistance is discussed
