No full textComparing importance of luxury value perceptions in cross-national contexts
No full textThe study provides empirical support to the much conceptualized but not-yet-tested framework of luxury value perceptions in cross-national context. Using five distinct parameters, the study compares the luxury value perceptions among British and Indian consumers, thus providing a rich comparative context between collectivist and individualistic markets. The results support the notion that several luxury value perceptions may be highly influential among all cultures and countries. However, their degree of influence may differ dramatically. The findings suggest that consumers in collectivist markets use simpler selection criteria for measuring value of a luxury brand than consumers in individualistic markets. The results may assist luxury brand managers in developing a coherent and integrated long-term global strategy that also takes in country-specific adjustments
The mediating role of role stress in the relationship between goal orientation and job satisfaction among salespersons:An empirical study
No full textPurani Eidgah
No full textAs the name implies, the Eidgah is the open space for congregational prayers offered on two Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Azha. Located in Eidi Bazaar, Rain Bazaar area, the Eidgah, is a roofless, flat rectangular ground with a Qibla wall facing west. Most Eidgahs consists of roofless, flat rectangular grounds, sometimes with a boundary wall. This Eidgah consists of two broad based columns, with rings at the base rising over a platform, and minarets at either ends. The façade has five arches with stucco ornamentation along the arches, spandrel and the vertical columns. From the Qibla wall to the façade, the Eidgah is roofed enough to accommodate the first row of worshipper and the imam. The Eidgah dates from the time of Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah,1612-26, as part of the Qila-yi Kohna. Since Mir Alam (1804) built a new Eidgah near his tank, the Qutb Shahi Eidgah came to be naturally called Purani Eidgah.exterior, view of facade, 200

Incorporating shrinkage effects in FE modeling of prestressed concrete bridge
No full textRight from the inception of the implementation of prestressed concrete in the bridge construction field, it has been very popular. Even though this type of bridges has big advantages, cracking is a major problem. The cracking event, due to its detrimental effects on the structure is the most objectionable problem. In cracking shrinkage plays a very significant role. This implies that the study of shrinkage is essential to study the phenomenon of cracking. Due to many variables responsible for deck cracking, it is very difficult to study the overall effect of these variegated factors taken in the consideration at a time. This thesis aims to confluence as many such aspects as possible in a single plane of consideration with the help of Finite Element software namely ABAQUS. The goal of this research is to study shrinkage, shrinkage effects, and factors affecting the shrinkage and ultimately to incorporate the shrinkage effects in Finite Element Modeling. Here the study is constrained to Prestressed Concrete Bridge. Thus, the research is carried to incorporate the shrinkage effects in FE Modeling of Prestressed Concrete Bridge. This is a difficult task as many finite element programs do not have pre-programmed methods for simulating the time dependent properties of concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to develop these methods. This study concentrates on trying to simulate the behavior of a simple span bridge as a means of developing the basic analytical method. In the research Abaqus has been selected and the selection has been justified for the purpose of analyzing time dependent effects in bridges. A parametric study has been carried out with a view to identifying the effects of various parameters of shrinkage in a structure. The effects of the parameters such as length of the span, girder spacing, deck thickness and modulus of elasticity of girder have been analyzed with the help of bridges modeled in Abaqus. The parametric study concludes that shrinkage strain increases with increase in length and spacing of girder. The shrinkage strain decreases with increase in compressive strength of girder and deck thickness.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Dhara Puran
