STUDIES THE EFFECT OF TIG WELDING PARAMETERS ON IMPACT STRENGTH OF 5083 ALUMINUM ALLOY

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a high quality welding process used to weld the thin metals and their alloy. 5083 Aluminium alloys play an important role in engineering and metallurgy field because of excellent corrosion properties, ease of fabrication and high specific strength with best combination of toughness and formability. TIG welding technique is one of the precise and fastest processes used in aerospace, ship and marine industries. TIG welding process is used to perform experiment and analyze the recorded data in the form of tables and figures.

COLLECTIVE ANIMAL BEHAVIOR ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER DISPATCH PROBLEM

This paper presents a collective animal behavior (CAB) algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer setting are taken as the optimization variables A meta heuristic algorithm for global optimization called the collective animal behavior (CAB) is introduced.

THE PROBLEM OF DISABILITY IN INDIA: HOW TO BE TACKLED

There have been efforts internationally to include children with disabilities in the educational mainstream. Geoff Lindsay (2007:1) suggests that ‘inclusive education/mainstreaming is the key policy objective for education of children and young people with disabilities’.

ENGENDERING THE PROFESSIONS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN

Today, we find an increasing number of women in various professions, including the so-called male-dominated professions like Engineering, Management, Finance, Police, Defense and so on. However, very few reach the highest ranks in the professions. ‘Higher the fewer’ appropriately describes the position of women in professions. The graph of their professional development and advancement is far from satisfactory. This is due to socio-cultural, psychological and professional barriers which they face. Several studies have pointed out the under-achievement of professional women.

PROBLEMS OF GRAMMAR TEACHING-LEARNING AND EFFECTIVE PROCEDURES/WAYS FOR TEACHING GRAMMAR

Because of the globalization and privatization, rapid changes are taking place in the world. That is why, the need to acquire proficiency in English has been felt more than ever before. Communication-written as well as oral has become very necessary for the learners of English as a second language. In that case, the role of grammar instruction in an ESL/EFL context has been for decades a major issue for students and teachers alike.

CINEMATIC REPRESENTATION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST NRI WOMEN WITH REFERENCE TO PROVOKED

The prospect of getting their daughters settled abroad and thereby themselves getting opportunities to migrate to foreign lands, still holds fascination for many Indian Families. Nevertheless this has often turned the dreams of many young Indian brides, lured into marital traps, into nightmares.

AGEING- NATURE AND INTERVENTION STRATEGIES: AN INTRODUCTION

Ageing is an individual process and a universal phenomenon that occurs at different rates in different people. Although the biological causes of development are similar in all cultures, the social experience varies among countries, and even within countries. Adulthood is the period in which a human being reaches the peak of his/her powers. Generally there have three dimensions of ageing: physiological, psychological, and social.

THE MYTHICAL STRUCTURE, FOLKLORE AND SUBJECTIVITY IN GIRISH KARNAD'S NAGA MANDALA

“The real function of literature in human affairs is to continue myths’ ancient and basic endeavor to create a meaningful place for man in a world oblivious to his presence” says Vincent B. Leitch. In that context, Girish Karnad’s plays reflect upon contemporary Indian cultural, religious, psychological and social life through the use of myths, folktales and historic legends. His ‘Naga-Mandala’ revolves round the tale of Rani who is treated as a dumb member by her father and her husband, with neither voice nor choice.

CLIMATE AND LAND USE/ LAND COVER CHANGE STUDIES IN SURANGI DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI (U.T)

The climate and Land Use/Land Cover maps have the capacity to illustrate the interaction between humans and the surroundings and are also available to see different conditions in the same or similar environments. Surangi village of Dadra & Nagar Haveli (UT) study is used to produce Land Use/Land Cover maps, which show environmental and geological characteristics. The major objective of this research was to produce and compares climate and Land Use/Land Cover specific maps for the land around 5 km radial distance.

COASTAL DYNAMICS AND SHORELINE MAPPING: MULTI SOURCES SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS IN LE MORNE (MAURITIUS ISLAND)

The shoreline erosion is considered to be one of the major environmental problems in the south east and south west part of Mauritius coast. Shoreline mapping provides a means of monitoring shoreline-change, which is very essential for coastal planning and decision-making.
