Prediction of particle concentration profiles in binary-solid liquid fluidized bed
No full textA simple mixing rule is presented here to predict the concentration profile of individual particle species in a binary-solid liquid fluidized bed from the information about the total solid concentration in the bed. Using the experimental data available in the literature, the applicability of this approach is demonstrated for the presence of different size particles in the bed. For the case of binary-solid fluidized bed showing layer inversion behavior, this simple mixing rule is capable of predicting the concentration of two species from the total solid concentration data of the bed.Corresponding Author:

Agrarian distress and rural non-farm sector employment in India
Get PDFThe rural labour market in India is still virtually, to a large extent, dominated by the agriculture related workers, both cultivators and hired workers consisting of more than 70 percent of the rural workforce even in the current decade. However, there have been signs of a shift from farm to non-farm occupations and industries during the recent times, at a magnitude relatively higher than the experience of the last three decades. This has brought in a lot of optimism among economy watchers that there is at last a visible structural shift in employment. Yet, it needs to be recognized that this shift has occurred in a period when the economy was reeling under the effects of a severe agrarian crisis. The trends and patterns in the structural shift support the argument that this has occurred mainly as a distress-driven response to the crisis. Logit and Multinomial logit analysis shows that in distress-driven regions the shift has occurred due to the push factors associated with the distress, while in the normal regions the shift has been relatively more responsive to growth driven factors.Agrarian distress; Non-farm employment; Rural; India; Push factors

Cooperative spectrum sensing based on machine learning in cognitive radio vehicular network / Mohammad Asif Hossain
No full textA vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a major participant in reducing traffic collisions and road congestion. In VANET, an enormous amount of data is needed to be exchanged. However, the dedicated access technique for VANET, the DSRC (dedicated short-range communication), is insufficient to accommodate these enormous data quantities. Consequently, VANET faces a lack of spectrum bands. Cognitive radio (CR) can be used to alleviate such a crisis. CR is an intelligent and programmable radio device that accesses various frequency bands. To enter these bands, CR must conduct spectrum sensing. An SU (secondary user) or a CR user can decide whether the spectrum is occupied by some PUs (primary or licensed users) or not. This mechanism is known as spectrum sensing. It is the technique to identify any vacant spectrum (no licensed user is currently using). When it discovers that the PU does not use the licensed spectrum, SU will use it (vacant licensed spectrum) under some restrictions when the DSRC is filled. Several spectrum sensing techniques are found in the literature. Few examples are energy detection, cyclostationary detection, matched filter detection, etc. Due to the speedy nature of the vehicles, these spectrum sensing techniques are confronted with several problems such as rapid change of radio environment, heterogeneous service quality (QoS) requirements, hidden node problem, problems in multipath fading and shadowing, diffraction, various PU activity models, etc. Spectrum sensing must be accurate, faster, dynamic, and flexible due to vehicles' high velocity and constant environmental shift. The optimum spectrum sensing should consider vehicle speed, fading degree, density, radio environment, etc. To solve the above-mentioned issues and problems, this thesis presents a novel segment-based CR-VANET (Seg-CR-VANET) cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) framework. In this thesis, roads are divided into equal segments, which are then subdivided depending on the probability value. CSS needs to perform two sensing for its operation; local sensing and global sensing. In this thesis, local sensing results are produced by SUs or vehicles by selecting the best spectrum sensing technique. The selection would be made based on the hybrid machine learning (ML) algorithm. A fuzzy-based Naive Bayes algorithm has been used in this case. For the local sensing, values of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and noise uncertainty are used. Instead of using a static threshold value, dynamic threshold values are used for sensing techniques. The tri-agent reinforcement learning (TA-RL) algorithm has been used by the segment spectrum agent (SSA) in this suggested CSS to make the global decision. TA-RL algorithm learns three environments (network, signal, and vehicle behavior) to assess the behaviors of PUs. The whole solution has been implemented in OMNeT++ with the required modules and the SUMO traffic generator tool. The simulation findings reveal that the Seg-CR-VANET outperforms existing works in terms of several performance metrics used in spectrum sensing such as probability of detection, false alarm rate, accuracy, throughput, delay, packet delivery ratio, etc
Does What Goes Around Really Comes Around? The Mediating Effect of CSR on the Relationship between Transformational Leadership and Employee’s Job Performance in Law Firms
Get PDFLeadership is essential for the success of every organization, as people believe in the ability of their leaders to guide change and achieve success. Today’s law firms are operating in a complex business environment and facing huge competition from both clients and talent. Tough competition, business alliances, corporate social responsibleness, and market conditions demand a huge transformation in the law industry. This study was designed to investigate the relationships between transformational leadership (TL), employee’s job performance (JP), and corporate social responsibility (CSR), as well the mediating mechanism of CSR among TL and JP. The data has been collected from 200 employees working in law firms of Pakistan by using a cross sectional research method. The study hypothesized that TL is significantly related to JP and CSR; in addition, CSR mediates the relationship between TL and JP. Results confirm our conjectures, hence allowing us to contribute to the scant literature of TL, CSR, and JP in the law industry. Our study provides important information to the decision makers who are involved in policymaking; that the adoption of TL practices and involvement in CSR activities can improve JP. Moreover, theoretical and practical implementations are provided for generalization
