7. The study on “swetha kuttam” may be correlated with vitiligo
Cyber Security Intelligence
No full textGovernments, military, organizations, financial institutions, universities and other businesses collected, process and store a large amount of confidential information and data on computers and transmit that data over networks to other computers. With the continuous rapid growth of volume and sophistication of cyberattacks, quick attempts are required to secure sensitive business and personal information, as well as to protect national security. The paper details about the nature of cyberspace and shows how the internet is unsecure to transmit the confidential and financial information. We demonstrate that hacking is now common and harmful for global economy and security and presented the various methods of cyber attacks in India and worldwide. M. Swetha | L. Prabha | S.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied

Effect of Predominant Mycoflora (A. alternata and M. phaseolina) on Seed Quality Parameters of Sesamum
No full textSesamum is an important oilseed crop affected by toxigenic fungal pathogens viz., Alternaria, Macrophomina, Fusarium and Aspergillus spp. Among these, A. alternata and M. phaseolina are seed borne pathogens causing yield loss to an extent of 20 to 40 per cent. The effect of A. alternata and M. phaseolina on seed quality parameters of susceptible cv. Swetha was investigated during 2022-2023. The A. alternata and M. phaseolina inoculated and uninoculated seeds of both test pathogens were tested for germination and seedling growth by rolled paper method and pot culture studies. Significant differences in seed germination, seedling length, seedling dry mass, seedling vigour index (SVI) - I and II and seed moisture content were observed in susceptible cv. Swetha. The results indicated that A. alternata recorded lower seed germination percentage (60.50%), seedling length (6.56 cm), dry mass (9.12 mg) and SVI-I and II (656 and 552 respectively) over untreated seeds recording high germination (82.25%), seedling length (14.84 cm), dry mass (13.17 mg) and SVI-I and II (1221 and 1116 respectively). Similar results were observed in M. phaseolina treated seeds where the pathogen treated seeds recorded lower seed germination percentage (70.75%), seedling length (9.42 cm), dry mass (8.71 mg) and SVI-I and II (667 and 599 respectively) than pathogen untreated seeds recording high seed germination (82.50%), seedling length (14.25 cm), dry mass (13.30 mg) and SVI-I and II (1175 and 1097 respectively)
Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
