    Purpose: With a rapid growth in the Indian manufacturing sector, the assessment of the sector is necessary for various aspects. The present study focused on identifying and assessing the drivers and challenges pertaining to current practices of lean-green deployment in Indian manufacturing based on the recent literature and experts in the manufacturing space. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted in three phases. Phase 1 involved literature reviewand expert consultation. Phase 2 includes a three-step data collection procedure whereby 44 experts provided responses that formed the basis for the assessment of the factors. Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) was used to rank the drivers and challenges with respect to the perspective of the consumer, industry, and the government. Phase 3 involved validating the relevance of our study based on the experts and literature. Outcome: The top-ranked driver and top-ranked challengewas identified. Insight into the present scenario of lean-green deployment in manufacturing is facilitated by factors identified from recent literature. Originality: There is very little literature assessing the factors pertaining to lean-green deployment in Indian manufacturers. Most work focus specifically on SMEs or MSME, and not the entiremanufacturing sector.Accordingly, respondents selected for the study were those with diverse experience in the secto

    M. N. Srinivas, the well known sociologist is widely recognised as architect of modern Indian sociology and social anthropology. His publications have been analysed by year, domain, authorship pattern, channels of communication used. Keywords, etc. The results indicate that the papers published by him are of a nature that qualify him to be a 'role model' for the younger generations to emulate. By the end of 1995, Srinivas had to his credit 144 papers which, included 33 broad papers in sociology and anthropology; 18 papers in social change; 28 papers in village studies; 12 papers on religion; 17 papers on caste and 36 papers of general popular interest. The periods 1958-61 and 1974-77, when Srinivas was 38-41 and 58-61 years old. were his most productive periods with highest publication activity

    Novel Design of Cocured Composite ‘T’ Joints with Integrally Woven 3D Inserts

    No full text
    Composites can be exploited to their full potential when cocured, wherein different parts are made and bonded together in a single cure operation to realise an integral structure. The key element in a typical cocured construction is T-joint, which forms the primary load transfer mechanism between the skin and stiffener in a structural assembly. T-joints are particularly vulnerable for pull off loads and researchers are looking at various techniques to improve the pull strength viz. stitching, tufting, 3D weaving, multilayer weaving, 3D braiding and the like. The present work uses a novel technique to improve the strength of T-joints by employing a hybrid design wherein an integral 3D ‘T’ insert is interleaved with a conventional T-joint. Inserts were woven using 3K and 6K carbon tows and incorporated in T-joints using CSIR-NAL proprietary process called ‘Vacuum Enhanced Resin Infusion Technology (VERITy)’ process. Several configurations of T-joints were tested in an UTM in the pull mode till the failure to assess the efficacy of integrally woven 3D inserts. It was observed that the initial failure load was nearly the same across the various T-joint configurations tested whereas the maximum failure loads were quite different. The normalised strength of T-joints with integrally woven 3D inserts in pull off mode was enhanced by about 30% when compared T-joints without the insert and thus vindicating the usage of integrally woven 3D insert in a cocured T-joint. The insert is conceived in such a way that it can be easily incorporated in the design of cocured structures

    Computational fluid dynamic analysis on the induced apical pressures in simulated oval and irregular round canals: an ex-vivo study

    No full text
    Aim: Fluid dynamics can be understood in-vitro by observing the fluid flow patterns in the simulated canal models. The current study aimed at assessing the apical pressures in simulated oval and irregular round canals using computational fluid dynamic analysis (CFD) as a tool. Methodology: Following the ethical approval, a total of 58 freshly extracted mandibular second premolars were collected for the present study. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning was done to confirm the root canal morphology. Based on the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria, the specimens were divided into two groups: group I: irregular round canals (n=29), and group II: completely oval canals (n=29). Following this, the instrumentation of the specimens was carried out using the XP-Endo Shaper (XPS) file system. A post-instrumentation CBCT was then taken to obtain a computer-aided design (CAD) model. Once the CAD model was obtained the CFD simulations were then carried out at different needle placements. Results: Group I showed significantly higher (P<0.05) apical pressures at all the needle positions analyzed. Conclusion: Oval-shaped canals showed the least apical pressures at all needle positions as compared to irregular round canals

    The priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes

    Not AvailableTomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruits of nine popular varieties in India were analysed for change in the levels of different nutrients (P, K, Fe, Zn, B, Cu, Mg, Ca and Mn) during the period of their postharvest ripening (fruits harvested at green mature stage and stored at 25 ± 1 C). This work is in continuation of our previous and related work wherein similar studies were done on the tomato fruits undergoing ripening while attached to the plant (Ramesh in 1–15, 2020). Here in this study, nutrients were estimated in the outer pericarp of tomato fruits at the time of their harvest (at green mature stage) and during the storage period at 5, 10 and 14 days after harvest (DAH). Under above said storage conditions, ripening behaviour of tomato fruits of different varieties was also determined by ripening index (RI %) at 3, 5, 8, 10 and 14 DAH. The results on nutrients showed net increase in P, K, Fe, Zn, B and Cu with static levels for Mg, Ca, and Mn at 14 DAH in comparison to their levels at green mature stage. The increase is explained in view of remobilization of nutrients from other parts of the fruit to the outer pericarp. While, internal mobilization of nutrients within the fruit might have helped in maintaining the static level of nutrients. Correlation analyses revealed that lower content of K and Ca along with higher content of B and Cu can impart slow ripening to tomato fruits. Comparison between plant-attached (our earlier study) and plant-detached tomato fruits (this study) indicated that in contrast to the fruits at green mature stage there is net increase in Zn, B, Cu, Mg, Ca and Mn in the outer pericarp of plant-detached ripened fruits. This was due to the internal mobilization of nutrients within the fruits towards the outer pericarp and absence of any remobilization or back flow of nutrients away from the fruits as the fruits were off the plant.Not Availabl
