Changing Behaviour of Middle-Class Households towards Risk & Return Perception for Investment
Get PDFThere has been an enormous amount of information collected over the past decade about financial markets and financial institutions. Middle class households’ investors are far less well understood. Investing motivations and risk perceptions of investors, as well as investor risk perceptions and attitudes, are examined here. It is also examined how income and investing pattern relate to risk and returns. Portfolio managers and investors are faced with the dilemma of balancing risk and return. Investors generally aren\u27t motivated to take risks for their own sake, according to the convention in finance and economics. Then it would seem feasible to expect that actual yields on individual investment may deviate according to their risks. There is consensus that there is a positive relationship between risk and expected return, even if the conclusions are not totally consistent concerning the shape of the risk-return function. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that risk-return preferences and motives of investors can be addressed by analyzing the investments. This empirical study has been designed to analyse the middle-class households risk preference over the last decade in the Kumaun division using structure schedule for 250 households. Researcher used linear regression, anova, coefficient, chi-square test and factor analysis model to explore the problem. It is found that people attitude towards have been changed in the last decade towards risk and return trade off and they are reshaping their motives of investment with the change in time
Simulations of Rectifications which are Needed in Dynamic Wire and Hot Wire GTAW of 304HCU Tubes of Reheaters and Superheaters using ANSYS 2021
Get PDFThe aim of this project is to simulate the rectification that are needed in hot wire and dynamic wire gas tungsten arc welding of reheater and superheater tubes made of 304hcu ss using a simulation software like ansys 2021. The given grade of stainless steel is of 300 series with chromium and nickel austenitic stainless steel are non hardenable by heat treating and corrosion resistant. 304 hcu ss has a better microbiologically influenced corrosion resistance. The gas tungsten arc welding (gtaw) process: also known as tig welding, it is an electric arc welding process in which the fusion energy is produced by an electric arc burning between the workpiece and the tungsten electrode. It differs from other arc welding processes by the fact that the electrode is not consumed like other electric arc welding process. To prevent hot cracking, welding with a heat input below 2 kj/mm, using an interpass temperature below 150 °c, is recommended. To avoid stress corrosion cracking, contact with certain solutions, particularly those containing chlorides should be avoided. Extra care needs to be taken during plant shutdowns as chloride containing condensates can be formed leading to stress corrosion cracking. However, cracking requires the presence of high stresses and is therefore more likely to occur in thicker sections, t- joints, like header-tube connections, or joints with dissimilar metal thickness, where the higher restraints can lead to higher residual stresses after welding than in thin-walled superheater/reheater tubing with butt welds
Rad54: The Master Key of All Machines in Homologous Recombination
No full textHomologous recombination (HR) is a type of genetic recombination required for DNA damage repair and error correction during chromosomal replication. This involves coordinated activities of proteins that belong to Rad52 epistasis group. Rad54, a Swi/Snf2 related protein of this group plays a crucial stimulatory role in homologous recombination repair. Rad54 connects early and late steps of homologous recombination through the network of interacting protein partners and a unique set of biochemical activities
Globalizing Higher Education and its Impact on Indian Expat Students (A Case Study of Indian Expat Students Living in UAE)
No full textEducation is the backbone of a progressive society as it is clear from the statement of Thomas Jefferson “educate the masses” as he believed that in order to make changes in a society, the whole masses should be educated. The term ‘education’ is a popular and common term used by everybody but understood by very few in its right perspective. In educational text books it is defined as a purposive, conscious or unconscious, psychological, sociological, scientific and philosophical process that brings about development of the individual to fullest extent and also the maximum development of society in such a way that both enjoy happiness and prosperity. Despite the existence of infrastructural facilities, economic status and availability of various educational courses, the attitude towards higher education and learning is not found to be positive among the Indian expat students.
The ultimate objective of this study is to find out the factors that influence the attitude of the students towards higher education and recommend sufficient measures to improve it
Vehicle Monitoring System based On IOT, Using 4G/LTE
No full textIn our World of today, the quest to get rich at all cost without working for our money has led some of our youth into crimes such as robbery and kidnapping. As a result of this and by the sheer fact that vehicles are now very expensive to buy these days, there is a need for people to safeguard their vehicles against these hoodlums to avoid loss of their precious Assets to these rampaging criminals. Tracking is technology that is used by many companies and individuals to track a vehicle, an individual or an asset by using many ways like GPS that operates using satellites and ground-based stations or by using our approach which depends on the cellular mobile towers. Vehicle tracking system is a system that can be used in monitoring and locating a vehicle, avoid theft or recover a stolen vehicle, for monitoring of vehicle routes to ensure strict compliance to an already defined vehicle routes, monitor driver’s behavior, predict bus arrival as well as for fleet management. Internet of things has made it very possible to devices to inter communicate amongst themselves and exchange information, helping in acquiring and analyzing information faster that we used to know in the past and this has helped more especially in vehicle monitoring to ensure that vehicle owners feel safe about their investments without fearing about their loss. In this paper, we propose a vehicle monitoring system based on IOT technology, using 4G/LTE to get the get the coordinate, speed, and overall condition of the vehicle, process and send to a remote server to be analyzed and used in locating the vehicle and monitor its other configured parameters. This is realized using Raspberry pi, 4G/LTE, GPS, Accelerometer and other sensors with communicate amongst themselves to get the environmental parameters which is processed and sent to a remote server where it is analyzed and represented on a map to locate the vehicle and monitor the other set parameters. 4G/LTE provides fast internet connectivity with overcomes the usual delay usually experienced in sending the acquired signals to be processed. The True Vehicle position is represented using google geolocation service and the actual position triangulated in real-time

Travel time and delay study is one of the method to determine quantitative factors. Tour time is described as the average period of time required to journey from one region to some other. Total departure time consists of gadgets which include total working time, places and general delay time. The examine section was done in Prithvi chowk to Tal chowk of Prithvi Highway which is turned to be 12.5 km long.
Additionally, it has been found that the principle variables affecting travel time are: postpone time because of forestall selecting and choosing up passengers, bus model and bus size.32 trips public transport carrier and a 10 trips non-public automobile journey have been held during peak hours. Models are developed the use of SPSS software to become aware of the relationship between the causes of delays and the overall-time delays. Travel time and learning delays can help reduce the number of private vehicles operating and increase the number of public vehicles in order to reduce congestion and improve the e efficiency of the public transport system. It turned into determined that there was a full-size distinction in tour time among the use of the public transit services and the car
Saudi Cement Industry - A Comparative Study of Profitability Position during Economic Slowdown
No full textInfrastructure is one of the favorite projects of every developed and developing nation. Construction industry occupies a prominent place in the infrastructure development of a country. Cement is one the elementary material components in the construction industry. Saudi Arabia has shown a weaker performance in generation of revenue over a period of five years from 2015 to 2019. In a situation of economic slowdown it becomes a challenge for the business concerns to maintain their profitability. The present study is designed to analyze and compare the profitability position of cement companies in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia during this period. The study belongs to top five cement companies in terms of market value and revenue generation in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To measure the profitability gross profit ratio, operating ratio, operating profit ratio, net profit ratio and return on investment have been used as variables. One way anova has been used to test the hypotheses. The study shows that these companies do not differ significantly from one another in terms of gross profit, operating profit and net profit but they differ significantly when return on investment is compared. Cement companies can increase their profitability by improving the components of those ratios that have been the cause of decline in profitability
