Abstract: |
This article provides a new methodology for estimating emission factor for Side discharge loader (SDL) machine used for loading, hauling & discharging coal in underground coal mining projects. The approach is developed as the equipment‟s being used in transporting coal from face to other end point below ground. The findings are of the recent field study for the mining activities from 2012-2016 in different underground mining complexes of a subsidiary of major coal producing company of India. We successfully sampled 35 equipment, with 522 data sets in 9 mining complexes situated in different districts of Jharkhand, India. Emission factors (EF) for the equipment was derived from measurements, which are in consistent with the results. First we identified “heavy emitters” in the working coal mines under study area. SDL is one of the equipment contributing most of emission of greenhouse gas amongst all equipment deployed below ground. The emission factor as tabulated for SDL is 6.21 kg CO2e/ton of coal production and 37.07 kg CO2e/ working hour. During the study period it was found that 74% & 26% of emission from development district and depillaring district respectively where SDLs were deployed. In this research paper attempt has been made to draw futuristic scenario in terms of GHG emission due to deployment of SDL at different mining complexes of the leading coal company of India as whole and on the basis of completed, existing, future projects. All together 0.29 Million tons of GHG emission is estimated to be released at the working face of the underground coal mine by deployment of SDL for the period from year 2017-2020. |

Abstract: |
Management education, a result oriented profession, is one of the most important components of Indian Higher Education system. It is expected to deliver knowledge strengthened management students to get absorbed in any kind of business enterprise and contribute their knowledge for the sustenance and growth of that business enterprise. In the past there were a few management institutions, most of which were directly under the government control. With the advent of New Economic Policy (NEP) and post 1991, a mushroom growth of management institutions, largely promoted by corporate sector have come in to existence. It is an established phenomena that qualified and competent faculty are the live wires for any professional institution and management institutions are no exception. Faculty are the brick and mortar for the institution and are responsible for transferring the desired levels of knowledge, molding and delivering competent student leaders to take up positions in an enterprise of their choice and lead that enterprise as a successful entity in an ever growing competitive environment. It is in this context, the present study “Is Indian Management Education Productive - An Analysis of Faculty Contribution?” was undertaken. The study findings indicate that all is not well with the Indian Management Education being productive, particularly so with non accredited colleges, which are larger in number and heave higher intake approval from All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), than the accredited colleges. |

Abstract: |
Surface reconstruction and shape representation of objects from the various location points, in 2D and 3D, is an important topic of research. The work is motivated by number of applications in many fields like computer vision, graphics, surface design and 3D reconstruction. The objects are represented as three coordinates of a set of points obtained mainly from scanning the objects with range scan, ultrasound scan etc. The present work focuses on the use of triangular patches to represent surface and shape of the object. |

Abstract: |
To probe into the distribution of and factors influencing the ambulance response time of Liwan District People’s Hospital of Guangzhou, to provide references for scientific deployment of emergency medical resources. A multinomial logistic model was established to analyze the factors influencing ambulance response time through acquisition of statistic distribution rules of emergency time and ambulance response time and the work records of pre-hospital care of Liwan District People’s Hospital of Guangzhou from May of 2015 to April of 2016.Of the patients receiving emergency care, male patients represented a higher proportion, and patients under the age of 20 represented a lower proportion; emergency respiratory events occurred less often between March and April and more often between May and July. Peak hours for emergency calls were from 9:00AM to 11:00AM. Multinomial logistic model analyses showed that patients’ age and time and month of the out-call had a dramatic impact upon the ambulance response time (p < 0.05), that the ambulance response time was longer as patient’s age increased, that it took longer for ambulances to respond in the morning rush hours (8:00AM~11:00AM) than in other time periods, and that the ambulance response times were longest during October and November. Ambulance response time is influenced by factors like time of day and month of the year when the out-call happens. With respect to the factors influencing response time and its distribution and variation during the day and year, decisions can be made to rationally distribute emergency medical resources and shorten ambulance response time. |

Abstract: |
This study investigates the affectability of probabilistic expectations of the twenty-first century surface air temperature (SAT) changes to various multi-model averaging strategies utilizing accessible reenactments from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change fourth evaluation report. A method for observationally compelled expectation is given via preparing multi-model reenactments for the second 50% of the twentieth century as for long haul parts. The Bayesian model averaging (BMA) produces weighted likelihood thickness capacities (PDFs) and we look at two strategies for evaluating weighting elements: Bayes variable and expectation–maximization calculation. It is demonstrated that Bayesian-weighted PDFs for the worldwide mean SAT changes are described by multi-modular structures from the center of the twenty-first century ahead, which are not plainly found in math group mean (AEM). This happens on the grounds that BMA has a tendency to choose a couple of high-talented models and down-weight the others. Also, Bayesian results show bigger means and more extensive PDFs in the worldwide mean expectations than the un weighted AEM. Multi-methodology is more professed in the mainland investigation utilizing 30-year mean (2070–2099) SATs while there is just a little impact of Bayesian weighting on the 5–95% territory. These outcomes show that this way to deal with observationally obliged probabilistic expectations can be profoundly touchy to the technique for preparing, especially for the later 50% of the twenty-first century, and that a more exhaustive methodology joining distinctive areas and/or variables is required. |

Abstract: |
Threshing of rice is of great importance in Asia and especially in a country like India where rice is a staple diet for at least 70% of the population. Motorized threshing machines tend to be very large and hence maintenance and use are difficult. The compact-size manual threshing machine is very convenient to handle in small terrace fields in mountains areas where a large machine is not usable. Moreover the manual threshing machine does not rely on electricity to operate and as such it can be used in places with low or no electricity supply. Also due to low cost it can be used by average farmers who produce at least 80% of India’s rice. In a way, development of manual rice threshing machines provides the scope of establishment of small scale cottage industries concerned with threshing and packaging of rice. This in turn would lead to the empowerment of the farmers which hence would be instrumental in the progress of agriculture. Keeping the aforementioned matters in mind, the paper presents a Pedal Powered Manual Rice Threshing Machine which is based on a simple gear transmission mechanism powered by a pedal. |
