Group Replacement Model Using Hidden Markov Model
Get PDFGroup replacement model is applicable to the itemsthat fail completely on usage and the result is groupreplacement age for the entire group of items in the systemirrespective of whether they are functioning or not. GenerallyIndustrial items /equipment get worn with time and usage and itfunctions with decreasing efficiency. The increasing repair andmaintenance cost demands the replacement of items. In thecurrent model an intermediate state called repairablebreakdown state in between functioning and irreparablebreakdown state is considered and the Hidden Markov Model(HMM) is made use of in generating the probabilities of itemsfalling in different states. Replacement decision is madeconsidering money value. The optimal replacement age is thetime bucket ‘t’ at which the average cost of the individualreplacement, repair and the cost of the group of items isminimum
STUDY OF NUCLEAR STRUCTURE OF 146SM USING INTERACTING BOSON MODEL-1
Get PDFThe interacting boson model hamiltonian isused to describe the energy spectrum, B(E2) value andB(E2) branching ratios for inter-band and intra-bandtransitions for three quasi-bands in 146Sm. It is found thatIBM-1 reproduces the observed complex nuclear structurevery well. The agreement between the theoretical resultsand the observed data are satisfactory for all possibleobserved nuclear properties. Present results are comparedwith the dynamic pairing-plus-quadrupole model, IBM-2and previous interacting boson approximationcalculations
Modification and Evaluation of the Performance of Agricultural Manual Mixing Machine
Get PDFThe modification of the manually operated multi-purpose mixing machine was under taken with the intention of providing a simple and effective solution to the problem of hand mixing of either chemicals with agricultural materials or different agricultural materials together. The developed mixing machine is made up principally of hopper through which the materials are introduced into the machine for mixing operation. The performance of the machine was evaluated based on its effective capacity, damage grains and scatter losses. Results showed that both damage grains and scatter losses are zero, with moderate effective capacity of 240 kg per hour. The cost was reduced by about 65% compared with the existing motorized mixers, thus making it potentially more economical and easier to afford by peasant farmers and food processors
Comparative Study of Structural and Electrical Study of Bismuth Doped At La and Mn Site of La0.7Sr0.3mno3
Get PDFWe report the structural and electrical properties ofpolycrystalline bismuth (Bi) doped La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (x = 0, 0.1 and0.2) at La(A) and Mn(B) site. Refinement of X-ray powderdiffraction patterns show that all samples crystallize inRhombohedral structure with R-3C space group. There isdecrease in unit cell volume as well as metal to insulatortransition temperature TMI in both site Bi doping. It is found thatvalues of resistivity are higher at B site doping compared that ofA site for all concentrations. It is found that the value of TMI is a233K and 227K and resistivity at peak is 184m Ω-cm and675mΩ-cm in La and Mn doped samples respectively for x=0.1.The competition between the Mn–O–Mn double exchange andthe Bi–O–Mn super-exchange of Mn3+ by Bi3+ may explain theincrease in resistivit
Consumption Comparison Of Different Modes Of Operation Of A Hybrid Vehicle At Kuwait
Get PDFIn this paper an analysis is presented which illustratesthe comparison for three modes of operation namely allmechanical, all electrical and the hybrid mode for a hybridvehicle for the conditions of Kuwait. The performance evaluatesresults in the possibility of avoiding costly field tests and thespecific analyses might yield useful rules regarding a controlsystem fitted in the vehicle to obtain the optimum modeaccording to road conditions. A test rig representing a hybridsystem comprising of an engine unit coupled with a hydraulicdynamometer, a D.C. series motor serving as torque, analternator and a battery pack of 10 lead-acid batteries had beenused for the performance analysis. The planetary gear drive wasincorporated in the transmission in order to have a continuouslyvariable transmission and the possibility of charging thebatteries
How Employment Brand Impacts Employees, Following A Multinational Acquistion? An Empirical Analysis
Get PDFPresent study explores employment brand in the contextof a multinational acquisition, particularly the implications foremployees who are currently working. Using a sample of threehundred from acquired telecom organization’s employees. Studyexamines identification predictors with the acquiring organization,discretionary effort and intention to leave. Author emphases onpredictors related to employment brand, particularly perceptionsrelated to the unique employment experiences provision, perceivedprestige, organizational identity strength, and perceptions ofwhether the acquiring organization acts with its corporate socialresponsibility claims. Findings suggest that perceptions ofcorporate social responsibility identity claims, perceivedorganizational prestige and organizational identity strength arepositively related to organizational identification and discretionaryeffort and negatively related to intention to leave. Surprisingly,unique employment experience is positively related toorganizational identification and negatively related to intention toleave but unrelated to discretionary effort. The elements ofemployment brand have varying effect on the outcomes underconsideration
When Employees Engage In Workplace Incivility? The Effects of Role Ambiguity and Role Conflict
Get PDFThe current study aims to determine the relationships between role stressors and workplace incivility. Another aim of the study is to analyze the causal relationship between role stressors – role ambiguity and role conflict. Data were collected from 108 service sector employees. The analyses found that role conflict as a dimension of role stressors effect workplace incivility positively, and role ambiguity has no significant effect on workplace incivility. Results of the regression analyses it was found that role ambiguity has not any causal effect on role conflict
Application Scanning and Ipv6 Assessment For MS-SQL Server
Get PDFThis paper attempts to present a solution that allows the users to scan the remote host machine on a network and to assess IPv6 enablement for MS-SQL. It aims to detect the hardware and the software installed on that machine. This goal is achieved by the use of Windows Application Programming Interface (API) through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Scripts which handles the registry. WMI Scripts are used to connect to the registry of a remote host machine that reads the installed path of the software and hardware details of that machine. First, it will detect the underlying Operating System whether it can support IPv6 or not. If the underlying operating system can support IPv6, then only applications running on it can run on IPv6 enabled network. So for this the system also assesses the IPv6 enablement of MS-SQL Server
Enrichment of Microalgae with Vitamins for Aquaculture and Food Industries Using Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and Isochrysis Species (A Review)
Get PDFMicroalgae play an important role as a source ofnutrient in aquaculture and food industries due to their highcontent of protein, vitamins, carbohydrate and lipid. They alsohave therapeutic uses owing to their antitumoral, antiviral,antifungal and antibacterial activities. Tetraselmis species areellipsoidal, brightly green and spore forming algal massivelycultivated on guillard media best known for its cytotoxicproperties due to high concentration of omega 3 fatty acid. It isan important alga commonly used as live food in aquaculture.Nannochloropsis species were found to have supplements in lyinghen’s diet for the production of enriched egg and meat withOmega 3 fatty acid. Isochroysis species cells lost their capacity todivide and became enlarged, with a reduction in the content ofphotosynthetic pigment and photosynthetic capacity when grownin batch culture for a prolonged period. In order to produce amicroalgae enriched with high vitamin content, supply ofnutritionally balanced mixture of nutrients must be sufficient,production cost must be reduce, as well as the response todifferent environmental factors
