This paper develops a heuristic algorithm for the multi-index fixed charge transportation problem. The efficiency of this algorithm for solving the multi-index fixed charge transportation problem has been proved by comparing the results obtained by using this algorithm with the existing exact method of solving multi-index fixed charge transportation problem. Further the proposed algorithm is extended to multi-index fixed charge fuzzy transportation problem in which all the parameters are considered as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed method.

Performance of a domestic split type air conditioner was evaluated by using two different refrigerants, i.e., R22 and R290. This paper presents the outcomes of this comparative study. The experimental investigation was conducted by using a 1 hp air conditioning unit. Power consumptions by the complete system including the evaporator as well the by the compressor alone were measured by clamp meter. Temperature was also measured at different locations by digital fluke thermometer whereas digital multimeter was used to measure the current supplied to the system. The air conditioner was run for six hours each time by setting three different set point temperatures, i.e., the cold air temperature coming out from the evaporator. From the measured information, coefficient of performance (COP), and energy efficiency ratio (ERR) were calculated for each refrigerant. The results revealed that R290 refrigerant has better COP and EER compared to R22 refrigerant. The usage of R290 refrigerant can reduce energy consumption up to 11 %. In addition to that, at the same air conditioning unit, the amount of R290 refrigerant required is relatively half of that required by R22 refrigerant.

It is significant that Karanta has made an effort to unravel the sensitivity of women's psychological pains in a way that the female can see her identity as a way of violence, oppression, helplessness. Her sacrifices, sacrifices, patience, tolerance and duty-keeping can be seen in the mind's eye, even in the shackles of female problems

Well-designed course assignments are a critical component of effective teaching and learning processes. It is our responsibility to create an assignment that is reflective of the course goal. Course assignments are created to measure the extent of our student’s knowledge. Therefore, based on our experience and knowledge, we have written below how at Mongolian University of Science and Technology the Profesional English course’s assignments should be created and carried out.

The present work envisages the synthesis of polyaniline and its doping with salt of a transition metal (Titanium) and effect of dopant on its optical properties to study changes in band gap. Polyaniline was synthesized by process of chemical oxidative polymerization. Chemical Doping of the dopant has been carried out in synthesized polyaniline by making different concentration of dopant in neutral medium and using THF as solvent. An effort has been done to see the effect of dopant in polyaniline by its properties characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy and then determining band gap with the help of UV spectra.. A significant change has been observed after doping. UV-Visible study shows that optical parameters change after doping. The study reveals that strong dopant interaction takes place with polyaniline network which is responsible for observed changes.

The main aim of this study is analysis Employees’ involvement and quality improvement in Iranian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This research is conducted based on descriptive and surveying method; to collect data, was chosen through questionnaire. For research’s purposes, a distinction was made between small firms (fewer than 50 employees) and medium-sized ones (between 50 and 250 employees), questionnaires was mailed to 600 Iranian SME randomly selected. The questionnaire was pre-tested and validated with the help of a panel of two academics/researchers on quality management issues and two quality managers in SME. Out of the sample, a total of 95 questionnaires were completed and returned. Data gathered through questionnaires were submitted to a set of statistical analyses tools, using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), and punctually, some of Microsoft Excel’s statistics and data bases tools. In accordance with research purposes, univariate analyses were performed on issues strictly descriptive, while bivariate analysis tools were used on issues based on means comparison (Student’s T test and Chi-square test). Showed that in considered society, most SME developed training programs specifically focused on quality improvement, suggesting that, beyond fostering quality improvement awareness, SME supply their employees with tools necessary to develop their skills and(or acquire new insights needed to improve their performance. These evidences may indicate that top management is aware about the importance of training and development focused on quality improvement, for effective employees’ participation in quality continuous improvement initiatives.

Recent years, Light energy consumption minimization has become the important aspect. In this, it is proposed to develop a system that will help various organizations to play an effective role in saving electrical energy. Energy utilized for lighting purpose sums up to a considerable part in the overall energy consumed. Effective and efficient lighting helps in reducing the unwanted excessive use of energy wasted. Smart illuminance control techniques concentrates on providing effective illuminance at a work place by varying the dimming levels of the networked luminaires.so here we used arduino board and Light Dependent Resister sensor to control the room light. Keywords— Arduino, Light Dependent Resister

The solid phase FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoroaniline(PFA) have been recorded in the region 4000-400 cm-1 and 3500-100 cm-1, respectively. The spectra were interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate analysis following a full structure optimization and force field calculation based on the density functional theory (DFT) using the standard HF/6-31+G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) methods and basis set combination. A close agreement between the observed and calculated frequencies by refinement of the scale factor. The values of electric dipole moment (? and First-order hyperpolarizability(?) of the compound were computed using ab-initio quantum mechanical calculations.The calculation results also show that the PFA molecule might have microscopic nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior with non-zero values. HOMO and LUMO energy gap explains the eventual charge transfer interaction taking place within the molecule. Temperature dependence of various thermodynamic properties like heat capacity, enthalpy, Gibb’s free energy, entropy is increase with increase in temperature. And magnetic susceptibility of the title compound at different temperatures is calculated.

Conflicts in works of literature are expected to show the dominance of good deeds over bad ones. In this way, readers are to be abreast of proper behaviour for the guilty must be punished and the righteous should be rewarded. However, this is not always the case in Igbo folktales. In them, there are three determinants that affect resolution of conflicts. The first is the poetic justice which is the generally expected one. Though there are numerous cases where it is applied, sometimes it is tampered with when it comes in contact with wisdom which unfortunately cannot be distinguished from trickery. Therefore, application of wisdom or trickery is the second determinant. The third determinant is when wisdom is in combination with vengeance. Of these three determinants, the only one that does not fail in Igbo folktales is the last mentioned. It is with them that the Igbo curtail the excesses of both Tortoise and other stronger animals. Therefore, of the three determinants that control the resolution of conflicts in Igbo folktales, the most dominant is the merging of vengeance and wisdom in a character.
