Pressure vessel is used to carry liquids such as petrol, kerosene, aviation fuel etc and these fuel tanks are used to transport fuel. Finite element method is a mathematical technique used to design a fuel carrying vessel and performing the stress analysis. In this the geometrical model is created and the model is sub divided into smaller elements. It is subjected to internal pressure and these Boundary conditions are applied at specified points. The aim of this paper is to design a model and analysis of fuel carrying tank using finite element analysis software and also select a proper material composition for pressure vessel. Designing is validated according to maximum principal stress theory and Distortion theory by taking design factor or factor of safety. The comparisons also made between the calculation results and software results.

In the process of generalization of metric spaces to Topological spaces, a few aspects of metric spaces are lost. Therefore, the requirement of generalization of metric spaces leads to the theory of uniform spaces. Uniform spaces stand somewhere in between metric spaces and general topological spaces. Khan[6] extended fixed point theorems due to Hardy and Rogers[2], Jungck[4] and Acharya[1] in uniform space by obtaining some results on common fixed points for a pair of commuting mappings defined on a sequentially complete Hausdorff uniform space. Rhoades et. al.[7] generalized the result of Khan[6] by establishing a general fixed point theorem for four compatible maps in uniform space . In this paper, a common fixed point theorem in uniform spaces is proved which generalizes the result of Khan[6] and Rhoades et al.[7] by employing the less restrictive condition of weak compatibility for one pair and the condition of compatibility for second pair, the result is proved for six self-mappings. .

Stress is often defines as the twentieth century syndrome born out of human race toward modern progress and its ensuring complexities. At one point or other, everybody suffers from stress. Seyle [1936] defines stress as a “dynamic activity where in an individual is confronted with an opportunity, constraint or demand”. The banking sector is one of the high stress creating sectors among the women workers. Women employees of banks are under great deal of stress, these stresses contribute to decrease organizational performance and also increases health related issues such as anxiety, depression, head ache, Back ache and eye disorders and this results in decrease in quality of work, high staff turnover and absenteeism. Stress due to work load can cause general psychological behavior in their social life also. Women Employees of bank are supposed to be proactive proficient enough to bear responsibility. Lack of administrative support, excessive work demand, problematic customer relations, coworker’s relationship, family and work life balance are the major components of stress. Despite of feeling relaxed with the advent of modern technology and innovations in banking sector, women employees are feeling overloaded with work and stressed out. It has become hard for the women employees to cope up with changes. Indian banking industry is the back bone of the country’s economy, it has always played a key role in prevention of economic cataclysm. The nature of job of banking employees is a tiresome one as it involves a long working hours, inappropriate reward system, role conflict and lack of job autonomy. Stress Management is getting more and more consideration these days particularly in financial sectors. There is no such thing like stress - free job. Everyone in their work is exposed to tension and anxiety as they get to the duties assigned to them. Banking industry is not an exceptional one. By controlling stress individual and organization can be managed more effectively. This paper seeks to determine the impact of various constituents of occupational stress on the women employees of the banking sector.

Social Networks are online communities of people who typically share a common interest or activity. It provides a platform for business owners to market their businesses. Social Network marketing makes use of the process of advertising, promoting and selling ideas, theories, values and philosophies in a social environment.This model is based upon the hive mentality where people identify themselves as part of a group with similar likes and interests that draw them together. Purchase intention is a plan to buying a particular good or service in the future. But purchase intention comes from behavioural science and evolves from the term intention. Intention is the subjective probability that one perform a particular action. Consumer attitudes are a composite of consumer beliefs, feelings and behavioural intentions. The more positive these attitudes are the more positive purchase intentions will be. This article will reveal how the general attitude of the consumers will transform into purchase intention. Also it will show how marketing through Social Networking Sites influence consumers purchase intention.

I. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES 1) To know the reasons of growth of Chinese Economy 2) To compare Chinese and Indian Economy II. INTRODUCTION The late scientist and India’s 11th President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam penned a book by the name of India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium in which he advocated that “A developed India by 2020, or even earlier, is not a dream. It need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up and succeed.” And in this book he was thoroughly concentrated on making India a Superpower by the year 2020 for which he gave many pitfalls in the Indian economy and the ways to overcome the problems.

Loosing the baggage in the absence of passenger’s attention is increasing day-by-day. This study considers receiver’s ability to act in the absence of signal from transmitter using RF communications . A micro-controller is used to process the signals from receiver. Accordingly an SMS will be send to the owner using Global system for mobile communication (GSM). The proposed methodology produced significantly favourable results.

Financial Inclusion is delivery of banking services at an affordable cost to the vast sections of disadvantaged and low income groups. The main focus of financial inclusion in India is to promote sustainable development and generating employment in rural areas for the rural population. In India, few households have access to banking services. There are many factors affecting access to financial services by weaker section of society in India. Several steps have been taken by the Reserve Bank of India and the Government to bring the financially excluded people to the fold of the formal banking services. Financial Access Survey for 2016 released by International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows that in India there only 13 commercial bank branches per 1,00,000 individuals. PM Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY) was highly successful in opening bank accounts in which more than 97% of the accounts were opened with the public banks, but around 72% of these accounts show ‘zero balances’. More than 1 crore bank accounts have been opened under PMJDY. However, despite the opening of such accounts, access has been lower. Access to banking is an important indicator of the level of financial inclusion in the country. India's urban and semi-urban region performs fairly well, however rural region is still underdeveloped in banking. Digital India campaign recently launched schemes like MUDRA, startup India, PMJDY, initiation of new banks like payment banks, PSL certificates trading etc. are in the right direction. With government moving towards DBT for subsidies financial inclusion becomes very critical. Focus should shift to increase coverage, reach of services and ease of availing credit.

Housing is one of the most important needs of a human being. In recent years, condition of existing housing localities in many of the Indian towns has deteriorated drastically due to growing population, ill maintenance, increasing encroachments, inappropriate basic amenities and also due to ill effects of the practices of construction industries. There is a difference between “How people are living” and “How they are supposed to live”. With the pace of time, new innovations, technology and new concepts in architecture are required to mitigate the existing social, environmental and spacial needs in the housing sector. Symbiotic housing is such a new concept in the development of a better planning mainly experimented and researched in Japan. This paper includes investigations showing the possibilities of improving those existing housing colonies of an average medium sized town of India which are approximately 40 years old and which show better/apt conditions for incorporating Symbiotic housing concepts.. The investigation and the proposal, both are based on the concept of Symbiotic housing. The investigation was mainly performed in two phases. First phase demonstrated the existing conditions of planned and unplanned localities as compared to those conditions of a Symbiotic housing which can be achieved in the present scenario of the study area. Second part of the study is based on the previous study of phase 1. A more tangible approach was aimed at capturing, assessing and portraying aspects of an anticipated quality of symbiotic housing in any midsized Indian Town.

Progress in science & technology has made engineering systems more powerful than ever. The intensity of sophistication in high-tech industrial producers emerged with reliability problems. Therefore the problem of reliability continue to exist and more likely to require complex solutions. Consequently, the field of reliability analysis and statistical probability modeling of the systems and components were growing. Ever since the theory of reliability was formally recognized statistical and modeling of the components/ systems analysis was used to develop various reliability measures that are important to assess the system performance. In this research paper, an attempt is made to find an approach of estimation method, which could establish a formal estimation procedure to estimate the reliability measures and also developed estimates of the system reliability indices practically under the influence of common cause shock failures as well as intrinsic failures. From the results, it is seen that maximum likelihood approach used was found useful in the estimation process to find estimate for the reliability measures of the system, where small sample is essential point of interest in the case of reliability analysis. The estimates so derived using empirical procedure do possess the property that MSE in each case is well within the prescribed error, i.e. coincides even to the three decimal places are more.

Graphene oxide - (Cd0.8-Zn0.2)S nanocomposite material was synthesized by the simple and economically viable chemical precipitation method at different temperatures and its photocatalytic properties were investigated. Measurement of photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B dye was carried out under visible light. The photocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized nanocomposites was calculated and the effect of bath temperature on the photocatalytic efficiency was studied. The studies suggest that the prepared nanocomposites exhibit reasonably good photocatalytic properties. Better photocatalysis is observed at lower bath temperatures for preparation of the nanocomposites. Photocatalytic efficiency close to 70% has been obtained for the synthesised GO-(Cd0.8-Zn0.2) S nanocomposites which can be further improved by optimizing the preparative conditions.

I. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY To Assess the relationship between the Price earning ratio and prediction for the future growth of the company Ratio analysis have been an important part of financial analysis of any company which helps the management to take wise financial decisions. And the ratio analysis does not only helps the management but it presents the complete picture of the company to the world. Now the results in the market for a company depends upon the analysis of the ratios by the different sectors of the society and rather this analysis helps these sectors to take their decisions for their investments in the companies. For example the public who want to make an investment and the decisions can be taken easily if the ratio analysis is done and they can the amount of assets a company has to sustain the tough times and hence the quantity of shareholders an rise.

The Mechanical Properties of five different compositions of compatibilized blends of ABS and PA6 in varying ratios from PA6 15 wt% to 55 wt% incorporating styrene-acrylonitrile-glycidyl methacrylate (SAGMA) copolymer as compatibilizer were explored. DMTA analysis evidences partial dissolution of the blend components by the shifts of the damping peaks (Tg) of PB rich phase, SAN and PA6. Broadening of the damping peak of PB rich phase of ABS is attributed to increasing interfacial region due to PA6-g-SAGMA molecular layer at the interface. It is observed that while there are gradual positive modifications in physico-mechanical properties with increasing PA6 content, the most significant improvements are observed for room temperature izod impact strength and break elongation effected in the region of phase inversion on to the formation of a co-continuous phase. The low temperature impact strength at – 400C essentially remains comparable to that of control ABS.

Generally the gear tooth fails due to high stress at root region. Even a slight reduction in the stress results in greater increase in life of the gear. For a compact design of a gear box, it is necessary that the number of teeth of the pinion should be less .For a given pressure angle there is a limiting value on minimum number of teeth below which undercut occurs. The spur gear with undercut suffers in strength severely. Therefore the gears with undercut are generally avoided. The present work explores the possibilities of increasing the strength of spur gear having undercut thereby reduce the overall size of the gearbox. A systematic study is conducted to understand the effect of introducing circular stress relief features on stress distribution in a statically loaded spur gear. Circular stress relief features of various sizes at different radial distance and angular position are placed around the end point on critical section on loaded side of the gear tooth profile. Effect of these stress relief feature on maximum stress are investigated.

In this article, different substrates for deposition of CdS material have been discussed. Till date glass, mica, quartz, ceramic, etc. are commonly employed substrates in thin film growth. In the present work, CdS is deposited on Teflon substrate by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. Also the films were deposited on different substrates like glass, copper and zinc and compared with those prepared on Teflon substrate. The films prepared on Teflon substrate were uniform, stable and also showed good radiating property. These films were further characterized by UV-VIS absorption spectral studies, SEM and EDS studies.

In a move to curb pollution from the coal- based power sector. The Union Ministry of Environment ,Forest and Climate change(MOEF&CC) had announced new emission limits for power stations ,both existing and upcoming. The enhanced pace of developmental activities after industrial revolution i.e. 18th century and rapid urbanization have resulted in stress on natural resources and quality of life. Pollution is now a common place term that our ears are attuned to. We hear about the various forms of pollution and read about it through the mass media. Air pollution is one such form that refers to the contamination of the air, irrespective of indoors or outside. A physical, biological or chemical alteration to the air in the atmosphere can be termed as pollution. Thus air pollutants are substances emitted into the air from an anthropogenic, biogenic, or geogenic source, that is either not part of natural atmosphere or is present in higher concentrations than the natural atmosphere, and may cause a short term or long term adverse effect. It occurs when any harmful gases, dust, smoke enters into the atmosphere and makes it difficult for plants, animals and humans to survive as the air becomes dirty. A WHO report released in May 2014 showed that most of Indian cities are death traps due to very high air pollution levels. The urban air quality database of WHO, covering 1600 cities across 91 countries showed that Indian cities are among those with highest levels of (Particulate Matter) PM 10 and PM 2.5 and less. Black carbon is also a kind of particulate matter, responsible for global warming.
