 Abstract

A high quality friendship is good for health and longetivity. Friendship is a relationship in which two people spend a great deal of time together, interact in a variety of situations, and provide emotional support to each other. A closed friend is always valued for his or her sensitivity and honesty. There is a limited literature on the role of friendship quality among adolescents. To address this gap, the present study aimed to assess the gender differences on four indices of friendship quality (closeness, help, acceptance and safety). A sample of 64 participants (32 male and 32 female) was collected for the study. Friendship Quality Scale was used as a tool to assess four dimensions of friendship. t test was used for the analysis. The mean scores indicated that females provide more safety, show more acceptance, closeness and are more helping than males. Results indicated a significant difference on closeness and help dimensions of friendship quality. No significant difference was found on safety and acceptance dimensions of friendship quality. Significant difference was also found for overall friendship quality.

In this paper we discuss a partial backlogging inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand rate, along with the effects of inflation and time value of money. We also establish theorems to find the minimum total relevant cost and optimal order quantity. We have established an inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependant, time-dependent and permissible delay in payments. The optimal order quantity and minimum present value of total relevant cost are also derived. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the theorem and results.

 Abstract

Plastic has amazing properties of strength, durability and light weight but it has a major drawback that it can take up to 500-1000 years to naturally degrade. Waste plastic affects humans, animals and marine life, as it increases pollution enormously and also causes soil infertility where dumped. But to take the advantage of its strength, long chain molecules and light weight polymers of carbon present in the plastic, it can be combined in different composites. Several attempts has been made to mix plastic in bituminous for road construction and also laboratory studies proved that waste plastic enhances the property of the mix. In the present paper the work carried out so far is discussed.

 Abstract

Optimizing multimedia data over wireless network by utilizing efficient quality of service factors to improve the effectiveness of data with providing compression technique and data security. In this project, we propose a QoS-aware joint working packet scheduling algorithm and dynamic buffering algorithm to support stable multimedia data over wireless network. The proposed dynamic buffering algorithm estimates the packet loss by giving their threshold value and performs its own functions based on the information. Main aim of our project is to replace the static buffer with dynamic buffer and allocating the queue to the buffer. That minimizes the overloading of buffer and PLR ratio. Further, Compression technique is applied over the data to reduce the size of data manually and to provide the security to data over wireless network cryptography is used. The proposed scheduling algorithm continuously updates the control parameter to pursue an effective tradeoff between the quality-of-service of multimedia data and the network throughput. The packet scheduling algorithm provides priority to the packet to send over the network. The main goal of this project is to provide result as performance of QoS that will help in the design process of packet scheduler and buffering for wireless networks, aiming to get better QoS. Finally, simulation results are provided to show the performance of the proposed video streaming system.

 Abstract

: A broadband printed compact antenna is designed and analyzed for WLAN applications. This paper presents a low-profile, single layered rectangular printed compact microstrip patch antenna designed to operate for 2.4GHz and 4.8GHz frequency band of IEEE 802.11.a. With minor changes in the design, the same antenna can be used for broadband/GPS frequencies. Printed compact planar antennas are advantageous towards simplified configuration with high gain and broad bandwidth efficiency. The dimensions of the antenna are chosen finally as 18x7.2 mm which met the gain requirement compared to other configurations. The bandwidth of the planar antenna is enhanced by the mutual coupling between the S-strip and the T-strip. It has been demonstrated by simulation and experiment that the compact planar antenna can achieve a bandwidth of more than 50% for return loss 10 dB with an almost unchanged radiation pattern.

 Abstract

With the advancement of technology, high end applications have come into existence which requires high end hardware to perform their best. In the era of smart mobile devices, many users have experienced performance issues regarding these mobile devices which could not compete with the latest applications. These mobile devices require an upgrade of processor, memory, and a better performance Operation System (OS) to be able to handle resource intensive applications. In short, they need to scale up their mobile devices. Does this mean that we need a smarter phone every time an application out smarts your phone? It is absurd to buy a new phone each time in order to accommodate advancement in application. Revolution should not lead to replacement. What if we could upgrade the specifications on an existing phone ruling out the necessity for replacement? With the proliferation of mobile computing and cloud computing technologies, mobile cloud computing (MCC) has emerged as a new computing paradigm which could facilitate the above-discussed criteria. Upon this emerging concept of mobile cloud computing, we propose an application model to expand the functionality of mobile devices by outsourcing the computing task on to the cloud.

 Abstract

Throughout the history of human evolution, one perception of human nature has been steady which is human nature and behavior. The rigid behavior sometimes leads to conflict. Conflict happens everywhere; however, it is completely natural which results in miscommunication, the difference in opinion or perspective, different objective or limited resources. In continuation to this, the present paper tries to explore the phenomenon of spirituality in the context of conflict management. The study makes an attempt to identify the causes of organizational and personal conflict and correlates the spirituality as a tool for conflict management. The primary objective of this paper is to understand conflict, its emergence, and effect on organizational performance. The paper has a descriptive approach in nature and has been generated through the data and facts collected from secondary sources. The study further can be continued by studying a large organization and its employees to extract realistic approach in the present scenario.

 Abstract

In today's world maintaining the security of information is a must. LAN is generally most common & very useful network in every organization. ARP is a mapping protocols from IP to MAC.ARP has two limitations. First it is a stateless protocol. And second no authentication process required for any host of the LAN. Attacker can easily exploit these vulnerabilities. There are many exiting solutions for ARP poisoning. Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack and denial of service (DOS) on ARP are very popular attacks. This paper presents all exiting solutions of MAC poisoning. It also represents some detection techniques and some prevention techniques. It also compares some scenarios with different mechanism for example SPOF, IP flooding, message flooding etc. In this paper, we would be analyzing the existing mechanisms and the works done by the researchers in early stages. Further we would be proposing a solution that would be contributing to the wealth of the domain.
