Crack Detection in Ceramic Tiles using Zoning and Edge Detection Methods
No full textThe quality control process in ceramic tile industry plays crucial role to enhance the quality standards. At present the quality analysis is mostly done manually. Manual inspection is not so efficient and it is labour intensive. Defect detection accuracy is lower due to human mistakes and unforgiving mechanical condition. To vanquish these issues, an automated inspection system for crack tiles that depends on image processing methods is presented. The tiles are examined using image processing concept using matlab software. The processing is very less compared to that of manual inspection. The automated inspection system can replace the manual ceramic tile detection system more efficiently and with better accuracy. Bhagyashree R K | S. A.

Career Aspirations of Generation Z in India���s Information Technology Industry: A Grounded Theory Exploration
No full textThe purpose of this dissertation study is to explore the career aspirations of Generation Z (individuals born between the years 1995 and 2012) within India���s information technology (IT) industry���s context. Career aspirations are an individual���s career-related goals and expectations. As of today, researchers have widely studied generation Z in the western context and posited that this newest generation in the workforce aspire to be highly achievement-oriented, want meaningful and interesting work, have a highly evolved self-concept, and expect to use technology on an everyday basis. However, there are no current career development theories that explain generation Z���s career aspirations fully.
A constructivist grounded theory research is flexible and when conducted rigorously, allows for transferability of findings aiding researcher���s attempts to understand a phenomenon in one context and applying it in other. Data were collected from 16 participants through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and analytical memos. Data were analyzed using three analytical procedures: (a) initial coding, (b) focused coding, and (c) advanced coding or theoretical coding
The findings from this study indicate that participants had low self-awareness and self-efficacy beliefs when they first form their career aspirations. External factors such as the culture, society, and individual economic background influenced participants to pursue engineering education and begin a career in the IT industry. During their time in the IT industry, participant���s work experiences led them adjust their career aspirations and engage in improving their self-awareness and self-efficacy beliefs. Participants were thus able to re-form their career aspirations for the future. The findings from this study led to developing a substantive theory explaining that Gen Z in the Indian IT industry develop career aspirations by: (a) forming career aspirations, (b) developing self-awareness, (c) adjusting career aspirations, (d) developing self-efficacy, (e) re-forming career aspirations. The implications to theory, research, and practice are presented

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Magnetic Studies of Certain Doped Rare Earth Manganites
No full textDoped rare-earth manganites with the general formula T1xDxMnO3 where `T' is a trivalent
rare earth ion, e.g. La3+;Nd3+; Pr3+ etc. and `D' is a divalent alkaline earth ion,
e.g Ca2+; Sr2+;Ba2+ etc. display various interesting properties. They attracted research
attention because of their unique properties and potential applications [1{5]. These materials
exhibit exciting properties like CMR (colossal magneto resistance), charge ordering
(CO), orbital ordering (OO), ferromagnetism (FM), antiferromagnetism (AFM),
phase separation (PS), electron-hole asymmetry, phase complexities, exchange bias effects
etc. [1,2,6]. These exciting properties exhibited by manganite system are explained
using various interactions taking place in the system like, super exchange (SE), double
exchange (DE), Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction (DM interaction), eg eg coulombic
interactions, electron-phonon interactions etc. [7{9]. In parent compounds TMnO3 and
DMnO3, all Mn ions are in Mn3+ and Mn4+ states respectively. These parent compounds
are governed by SE interaction resulting in AFM insulating phase. On doping
with divalent alkaline earth ion in TMnO3, there is a transition from AFM insulating
phase to canted AFM phase, then to FM insulating phase and FM conducting phase
depending on the ratio of Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions. Manganites depict principal magnetic
and electronic properties across the temperature and composition range. So the phase
diagrams of manganites are complex with various phases like AFM insulating, canted
AFM, FM insulating, FM metallic, PM, CO, OO etc. These phases are very sensitive to
external pressure and magnetic eld. Further research in manganites shows that these
are complicated systems exhibiting strong correlations between electron, spin, lattice and
orbital degrees of freedom.
It is also found that some of the above properties are suppressed when the size of
these particles are reduced to nano-scale. For example the CO phase has been observed
to suppress/completely disappear depending on the size of the particle [10{12].
Electron-hole asymmetry has also been seen to disappear in nanomanganites [13, 14].
Phase complexities, seen in the bulk [14] particles are observed to disappear. These
nanomanganites also display other properties which are not seen in their bulk counterpart,
like ferromagnetism, superparamagnetism, exchange-bias, spin-glass state etc. [15].
In nanomanganites, researchers have come up with various theories to explain the properties
exhibited by them. Among these core-shell model is generally beleived to be most
applicable [16].
Our main objective in this thesis was to perform EPR/FMR studies on certain doped
rare-earth manganites, in polycrystalline bulk and nano form. In this we study di erent
manganite systems exhibiting unique and interesting properties at certain doping
level and try understanding them by performing temperature dependent EPR measurements.
These studies are supplemented by DC magnetization studies to characterize the
magnetic states of the samples. The thesis is organized into chapters as follows
Sex determination using cheiloscopy and mandibular canine index as a tool in forensic dentistry
No full textIdentification of a person′s individuality and sex determination are important for legal as well as identification purposes. The aim of the present study was to check the reliability of cheiloscopy and mandibular canine index (MCI) in the determination of sex in an individual. The aim of this study is to analyze different lip patterns reproduced by the natural dye (vermilion) and lysochrome (Sudan Black II) dyes and to compare the MCI in males and females for the determination of sex and to check the reliability of cheiloscopy and MCI for the same. Latent lip prints were developed using natural dye (vermilion) and lysochrome (Sudan Black II) dyes and their patterns categorized according to Tsuchihashi′s classification. MCI were calculated. Analysis of the two was performed. According to discriminant functional analysis, percentage accuracy for cheiloscopy in the determination of sex was found to be 55% while for MCI, the same value was 85%. Natural dye (vermilion) was found as an efficient dye compared to lysochrome (Sudan Black II) dyes for the development of latent lip prints. Both the dyes showed Type I lip print pattern to be common in males and females. Furthermore, all the parameters in MCI were found to be significant in the determination of sex in an individual. The results of the present study revealed MCI to be more reliable in the determination of sex than cheiloscopy
