This study examined the wage distribution and differentials among the agricultural labourers in different crops both in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaire administered to a stratified proportionate random sample of 400 farmers consist of 50 farmers from each crop in both States. The data collected was analysed by operation wise wage distribution and wage differentials among the gender and using multiple regression analysis for estimation/predicting the mean values of dependent variable on the basis of known explanatory variables. The value of coefficients of all the crops reveals that the demand factors play a much more important role than its supply factors. man-land ratio, cropping intensity and proportion of non-farm workers to total work force found to be expected signs and statistically significant in Andhra Pradesh, whereas, employment opportunities from outside agriculture and cropping intensity engender wages in Tamil Nadu. The study was also found that the wage differences between male and female labourers is at higher level in wet crops than dry crops and this is not only from operation to operation but also from season to season. The study recommended that confirmatory action plan to be needed to trounce gender discrimination through promoting self-employment and expanding employment opportunities outside agriculture.

Deficiency of the lungs results from malfunction of the breathing bud to develop. Agenesis of one lung is more regular than bilateral agenesis, however both conditions are unusual. Unilateral pulmonary agenesis is compatible with life. The heart and other mediastinal edifices are shifted to the implicated side, and the present lung is stretched out. Lung agenesis is an uncommon but a severe condition which ought to be early diagnosed and followed up. Prognosis, apart from abnormal formation, is that of a single functional lung. Diagnosing a developmental abnormality of the lungs in adults is often challenging for clinicians.

Looking at the print media of UK and Europe about the economic crisis, the present study aims to find out how the writers of the print media in UK and Europe use discourse tools to convey their ideas. In a comparative study of the two media with a focus on such grammatical tools like passivisation, nominalisation, thematisation, and word choice strategies, it was found out that the UK media exaggerate the problem while the European media depict a positive picture of the same crisis.

A micro strip-fed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband antenna with triple band notched and WLAN antenna is presented and analyzed in detail. In the UWB antenna three different frequencies are notched by means of using E-shaped resonator. The three notched frequencies are 3.6 GHz (WLAN), 5GHz (WLAN) and 10 GHz (X- band) with a reference level of s11 > -10dB. The center frequency of the notched band is 7 GHz. The frequency band of the proposed antenna is 0 GHz-11GHz for voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2.Surface current distributions and transmission line models are used to analyze the effect of these slots. The antenna is successfully fabricated and measured, showing broad band matched impedance and good Omni directional radiation pattern. The designed antenna patch has a compact size of 17x13.8 mm2.

Ground water quality assessment described with 46 samples collected from Thrissur district in Kerala, India. Groundwater samples were anylsed for water quality parameters using standard methods. For the better understanding and simple representation of water types, Piper plot and Schoeller diagrams were employed. Dominant water types in the groundwater are Na-Cl, Ca-HCO3, and Ca-Na-HCO_3. Major quality parameters such as pH, EC, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl, SO₄, HCO₃, CO₃, NO₃ and F were analysed. Results were compared with WHO standards. This inferred that the groundwater in the Thrissur district is extremely suitable for the drinking purposes.

Pen is a product, which has used by each and every person. There are various brands of pen in the market of different types of price, colour, design, grip, attractive ink, attractive body, etc. So the pen market is full of competition where the consumer possesses vast variety of choice to select his/her brand which depends on their perception. It is very difficult to find the consumer perception about pen, even though the present study tried to find how the consumer purchase and prefer the brand, what factors influence the purchase of preferred brand of pen? The technique of data collection is through questionnaire. The sampling technique used for this project is convenience sampling. A closed ended with suitable scaling, open ended questions and discussion with the respondents was used to collect the required primary data. In this survey primary data were collected through interview schedule and mall intercept. Statistical tool used for analysing the data are cross- tabulation, Chi-Square- Goodness of Fit, Friedman Test.

Value at Risk (VaR) is one of the most popular measures of risk associated with financial instruments. The generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is useful in modeling values exceeding a high threshold in estimation of VaR and Expected Shortfall (ES). It has been observed that none of the existing methods for estimating parameters of GPD performs uniformly better than others (P. Z. Bermudez and S. Kotz, 2010), and even if one develops a method, it would suffer from heavy computational requirements. Recently, P.Chen et.al (2017) proposed a method of estimating parameters of GPD based on minimum distance approach and M-estimation. In literature survey it has been observed that a study on effect of outliers on estimation of parameters of GPD has not been carried out, though presence of outliers is common in financial data. In this regard this paper focuses on the effect of outliers on estimators of parameters of GPD, on estimators of VaR and estimators of ES under Peaks over Threshold (PoT) framework obtained from different methods. A simulation study is carried out to compare performances of five robust and seven non-robust methods for estimating parameters of GPD, VaR and ES in the presence of a single additive outlier under PoT set up and it is found that robust methods suggested by P.Chen et.al (2017) for estimating GPD parameters perform on par with other estimators when shape parameter k > 0 (for thin tailed distributions), in estimating VaR in presence of outlier, especially when sample size is moderately large

Security has become the greatest problem within and outside the organizations. User ID, passwords and firewalls are the common steps that organizations take to secure their computers. However, these are not so effective mediums in current context of unsecure eon. Intruders and attackers are so advanced that they access the computer and manipulate it, so they cannot be traced easily. Through this contribution objective is to find out & present existing intrusion detection system (IDS) with their pros and cons that will be helpful to select the best one and provide the secure environment so that system will be protected from instrusion and attacks.

A healthcare solution that combines android mobile and IPv6 techniques in a wireless sensor network to monitor the health condition of patients and provide a wide range of effective, comprehensive, and convenient healthcare services by using global network. With advances in mobile communication, new opportunities have opened up for the development of healthcare systems that remotely monitor biomedical signals from patients. In this different type of sensors can be used to measure body level of patient in different location such as heart rate, blood pressure, haemoglobin, temperature. A visualization module of the server program graphically displays the recorded biomedical signals on Android mobile devices used by patients and doctors at the end of the networks in real-time. These data’s can be transmitted through the Bluetooth, which is received by the smart phone in another location. With the help of GSM we can access human body level from anywhere. A low-power embedded wearable sensor measures the health parameters dynamically and is connected according to the concept of IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area network to the M2M node for wireless transmission through the internet or external IP-enabled networks via the M2M gateway.
