A Study on Consumer Preference and Satisfaction Towards TVS SUZUKI with Special Reference to Coimbatore City
No full textThis research analyses the customer satisfaction towards two wheelers. The study was conducted Coimbatore city only. The total numbers of respondents are 100 it has included men and woman. The customers have a wide choice of brands to select from many brands. In order to survive the competition the companies have to do a better job of meeting and satisfying customer needs than their competitors. Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction (delighted) because customers who are just satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer comes along. The preference of the customers clearly signifies that their importance of family and friends influencing their purchas

The Impact of Sugar-Based Beverages on Hydration Status in Various Work Conditions: A Systematic Review
No full textBody water is essential to sustain the cardiovascular system, thermoregulatory system and support cellular homeostasis. According to the Indian Dietary Guidelines, ~8 glasses (2000 ml) of water per day is adequate to maintain hydration in healthy individuals. However, this theory is subjected to a broad range of interpretation by different individuals. Plain water is often assumed as the only source that fulfils daily fluid requirements, the contribution of other beverages like coffee, tea, milk and sugar- based drinks towards fluid balance is often suspended. In recent years, an increase in the intake of sugar –based beverages have been recorded worldwide. Similarly, given the potentially large consumption of sugar-based beverages in India, it is important to understand their impact on everyday hydration. It remains unclear whether the intake of sugar-based beverages contributes to hydration or merely causes health concerns. This is the first Indian review to study the impact of sugar-based beverage consumption on hydration status of individuals. In this systematic review, characteristics of 16 studies were considered which include 12 Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs), 1 Clinical Controlled Trial (CCT) and 3 Experimental Studies (ES). Our main findings suggest: (1) A positive correlation between the consumption of sugar-based drinks and maintenance of fluid balance and hydration, (2) Additional energy and performance related benefits of sugar-based drinks during dehydration conditions, and (3) Up to 6% concentration of sugar in beverages improves water absorption rates in intestines.
Comparison of Sodium and Potassium Content in Fresh Produce and their Contribution toThe Daily Intake
No full textFruits and vegetables are good sources for nutrients especially minerals particularly sodium and potassium. Sodium is naturally found in foods in the form of sodium chloride. It is a very important because it regulates fluid balance and generates electrical signals for nerve and muscle functions in our bodies.. The RDA for Na is 2400 mg per day. Consuming too much Sodium will result in high blood pressure. Sodium levels in foods vary but generally account for only about 10% of dietary intake. Approximately 5–10% of intake is related to the discretionary addition of salt at the table and during cooking. Canned vegetables and processed foods and foods served in restaurants contribute over 75% of dietary sodium. Potassium is one of the essential nutrients for health. It is vital for healthy nerves and muscles especially heart function. Potassium deficiency can cause many health problems. Diets high in fat, refined sugars and over salted foods may lead quickly to a state of Potassium deficiency. The purpose of this study was to provide baseline estimates of the content of Na and K in fresh fruits and vegetables and their contribution to DV %. Kinds of fruits and 5 kinds of vegetables were analyzed by using flame photometer in order to determine their content of sodium and calcium. Results have shown that sodium content of sodium was the highest in Cauliflower which contained 30±0.05 mg, followed by potatoes which had 9.93±0.04 mg then Green beans for 5.98±0.05 followed by Tomatoes and Cucumbers for 4.99±0.03 and 1.98±0.06 respectively With regard to potassium content of vegetables, Potatoes had the highest content of potassium 413±0.4 mg followed by cauliflowers 303±0.2 mg then Tomatoes, Green beans and Cucumbers 273±0.35, 208.73±0.41+and 147.03 mg respectively. Strawberries, bananas and apples (golden and red) had the highest content of sodium followed by pomelo, oranges and peaches respectively. Bananas had the highest content of potassium followed by pomelo, oranges, peaches, strawberries and apples (Golden and Red). K/Na ratio was the highest in cucumbers and peaches and the lowest was in oranges and cauliflower
Low Carbon Mobility: Appraisal of Case of Rajkot
No full textOur cities are growing rapidly and so as the transport network. The land use planning and transport are interdependent and interlinked. But, eventually with this growth there is negative impact on the environment. Transportation contributes to 27% of carbon footprint and this is still growing with the growth of cities and its network system and the nature of societies. When even we talk about the planned strata the behavior of vehicles and tendency of user is the alarmed observation which can be noticed by increase in number of private vehicles. This contributes even to GHG Emissions which negatively impact the environment and human health and leads to the birth of chronic diseases
Vibration of Non-Homogeneous Visco-Elastic Rectangular Plate Having Linearly Varying Thickness in Both Directions with Thermal Gradient Effect
No full textIn the modern time, there is extensive use of the plates of variable thickness in the field of engineering such as jet engines designing, space crafts, gas turbines, nuclear power projects etc. The effect of variation of non-homogeneity on visco-elastic rectangular plate with linearly varying thickness in both directions together thermal gradient in one direction is presented in this paper. The non-homogeneity of the plate is characterized by taking a linear variation in the density of the material. Plates are considered to be having clamped boundary conditions on all the four edges. Basic elastic and viscous elements are combined to make visco-elastic materials. We have taken Kelvin model for visco-elasticity, which is a combination of elastic and viscous elements connected in parallel. Using the separation of variable method, the governing differential equation has been solved and Rayleigh-Ritz technique has been used to get the required frequency equation. In the present research, the deflection and time period of vibration of a clamped rectangular plate on the first two modes of vibration are calculated to see the effects of various factors like non-homogeneity constant, taper constants, aspect ratio and thermal gradient. Results are presented in the tabular form
Polarization and Faraday Angle fluctuations for a Radio Wave Propagated in Magnetized Plasma
No full textSecond order statistical moments of scattered radio waves in the turbulent magnetized plasma slab with electron density fluctuations are calculated using the perturbation method applying the boundary conditions. The obtained results are valid for arbitrary correlation function of electron density fluctuations.
