Determination optimal reserve inventory between two machines in series using order statistics

P.S. Sehik Uduman*, A. Sulaiman**, R. Sathiyamoorthy***

Abstract : Inventory systems may be under the category of parallel systems, or series systems.  A system in which two machines M1 and M2, which are in series is considered.  The output of M1 happens to be the raw material for M2.  The shortage cost arises due to the idle time of M2 caused by a breakdown of M1.  Hence a reserve in between M1 and M2  is cost effective.  The optimal size of the reserve inventory in between M1 and M2 considering the interarrival times between the successive breakdowns of M1 as i.i.d random variables has been considered by some authors.  In this paper an expression for the optimal reserve inventory is obtained taking the interarrival times as order statistics. Numerical Illustrations are provided.    

Key words : Series system, Optimal reserve, Order statistics

Unsteady flow of a non-Newtonian fluid past along a rotating porous disk

U. K. Tripathy1, A. Kalam1 and R. Dash2

Abstract : An approximate analysis of the unsteady flow of a non- Newtonian fluid along a rotating porous disk has been carried out. The suction velocity on the wall of the disk is assumed to be time dependent and assuming the rigid body rotation, the equation of motion has been formulated. This equation is solved by the method of Kelley using Fourier series analysis. It is noticed that the velocity components are affected by the terms of order 2  and not by the term of order . It is also noted that the flow field is considerably influenced by the non-Newtonian parameter. The effects of other parameters over flow field have been depicted through graphs.   

 

How to Determine the Sample Size

WAN MUHAMAD AMIR W AHMAD1 , NYI NYI NAING2 and MOHD. TENGKU ARIFF RAJA HUSSEIN3

Abstract : Determining sample size is a very important issue because samples that are too large may waste time, resources and money, while samples that are too small may lead to inaccurate results. The sample size is very simply the size of the sample. If there is only one sample, the letter "N" is used to designate the sample size. If samples are taken from each of "a" populations, then the small letter "n" is used to designate size of the sample from each population. When there are samples from more than one population, N is used to indicate the total number of subjects sampled. If the sample sizes from the various populations are different, then   would indicate the sample size from the first population, n2  from the second, etc. The total number of subjects sampled would still be indicated by N. In this paper, we will illustrate how to determine the sample size for an experiment in a study.  

Key words : Sample size, population mean and proportion mean.

 

The immunization and nutritional status among children aged under five in a major District in India

R. ELANGOVAN* and M. SHANMUGHAM1

Abstract : Children in rural areas in India die due to infectious and communicable diseases. This study was carried out to know the immunization status, nutritional status and to assess the levels of the mother's knowledge regarding immunization and nutritional diet. A sample of 300 eligible mothers from Thuraiyaur Taluk of Trichy district in Tamil Nadu was studied. For those mothers who were well aware of the immunization and nutritional programmes, the children's height and weight were well correlated against the mothers who were not aware of these programmes, whose children's height and weight did not show significant correlation. The results showed that 16% of the children were under malnutrition. The knowledge regarding immunization does not seem to influence the family size. The size of the family does not seem to be influenced by knowledge regarding immunization and nutritional diet given to the mothers during pregnancy and lactation period.  The results showed that 85% of the eligible mothers having children under five years of age know about the six major killer diseases, which could be prevented by immunization. It is observed that from the eligible mothers having children under five years of age started weaning in the 4th month (mean 141 days + sd 32 days). It was concluded that strategies might be evolved to educate the women in the study area to have greater awareness regarding the immunization programmes and also the use of proper nutrition to the children.           

Key words : Immunization Status, Nutritional Status.

Appraisal of Least Absolute Value Analysis of Variance

R. Elangovan, V.  Ramachandran* and S. Ramalakshmi**

Abstract : In linear model analysis, a wide variety of statistical tools are applied to obtain valid inferences. The prime among them is the Least Square approach. This has been developed in all its details and is universally used. But in many situations the use of this method is less reliable. As an alternative to Least Square technique, Least Absolute Value method has been suggested. This present work is based on Least Absolute Value method and verification of results empirically using simulation studies with special reference to Analysis of Variance. In this paper an empirical behavior of the classical linear model approach and the method of Least Absolute values for estimation, when the error distribution with log normal, is attempted for one way classification model, and verification of results empirically using simulation studies. It is to be noted that this procedure gave correct decision in more than 90% of the cases.

Effect of heat source on hydromagnetic convective flow through a vertical channel

AJAY  KUMAR  SINGH#, N. P. SINGH, SEEMA RAGHAV* and ATUL KUMAR SINGH*

Abstract : In the present paper hydromagnetic unsteady convective flow of an incompressible homogeneous, electrical conducting, viscous fluid through a porous medium in a vertical channel consisting of semi-infinite parallel walls is studied in the presence of constant heat source. The magnetic field is applied normal to the flow. Using Laplace transform technique the solutions for velocity and temperature fields are obtained. Expressions for skin-friction and rate of heat transfer are also derived. The effects of magnetic parameter, heat source parameter, Grashof number and Prandtl number on the velocity field, skin-friction and rate of heat transfer are discussed for symmetrical cooling of channel walls. It is observed that the influence of heat source parameter increases the velocity field but decreases the skin-friction and rate of heat transfer.

Abstract : Disaster risk in Orissa is apparent in the physical and socio-economic vulnerability profile of the State. The devastating Orissa super cyclone is still fresh in our memories. A holistic approach to disaster management would therefore include-growing environmental concerns and risk assessments towards a safer Orissa. Today Geospatial information is critical to virtually every sphere of socio economic activity. One of the uses of this tool in recent years has been in the field of disaster management. It is designed to support geographical enquiry and ultimately spatial decision-making. GIS and allied IT technologies can deliver not only data on hazards in the region, information on buildings, life lines and critical facilities but can also contain built in risk assessment programmes that allow the planner to simulate disaster scenarios and graphically view the potential damages and affected areas. It can help us in developing a decision support system to be prepared for the future disaster.

An Approach for detection and correction of design defects in  Database Reengineering

*Rajesh Verma and **R.K. Chauhan

Abstract : Modernizing the information systems having design defects is a central software engineering problem in current IT industry. Often, existing legacy database systems cannot simply be replaced by new systems, because they maintain important legacy data pertaining to the company's mission. Thus, reverse engineering of the design documentation of such legacy database systems is often a necessity.1 proposed a number of design patterns that offer good solutions for recurring design situations. Several interactive CASE tools have been developed to solve this problem but the practical experience indicates that their applicability is limited because they do not consider defective knowledge about legacy systems. Reverse Engineering is the process through which one tries to recover the specifications of a software component. Database Reverse Engineering addresses the problem of rebuilding the logical and conceptual schemas of a set of files or of a database11. It is possible to recognize all locations in all schemas that can be changed to improve quality. It is possible to recognize some locations in some schema that can be changed to improve the internal product quality. Our work tries to overcome the problem of detecting occurrences of poor design patterns in legacy database systems and replacing the poor code/design by a good design pattern by reverse engineering process.

1Saodah bt. Mohd. Ajil, 2Ismail bin Mohd. and 3Yosza Bin Dasril 

Abstract :  This paper presents the modified explicit group iterative methods that use several points per group for fast solution of Poisson equation.  The main concern of this paper is to construct new groupings of the mesh points of the network into two and six points using the second order accurate five-point finite difference equations and to investigate their advantages when compared to the four points group explicit iterative methods.  This work indicates that the six points modified explicit group method can also be another alternative method in this class of algorithm besides  the existing four points modified explicit group Poisson solver which was given3. In order to confirm our recommendation, we provide some numerical results of the test problem.

Determination of vorticity in a hydraulic jump and the use of a general velocity profile

A.E. Eyo

Abstract : The sole aim of this study is to obtain a new general expression for the mean vorticity downstrean of hydraulic jump in terms of the Froude number. In doing this a new form of momentum equation for the determination of the mean vorticity downstream of a hydraulic jump is derived  using substitution method. The new momentum differs from that of Hornung et al1 in the sense that it contains additional term which is the vertical acceleration term. A general linear velocity profile is proposed and incorporated into the new momentum equation and the new torque, different from 1, exerted by the excess bottom pressure on the fluid is obtained. Incorporating this torque into the angular momentum balance leads to a general expression for the mean vorticity in terms of the Froude number. The present work generalizes1 since it extends the model1 to include a general linear velocity profile. 

Key words: vorticity, hydraulic jump, velocity profile.

Backpropagation Algorithm of Fed Forward Neural Network for the Classification of Fuzzfied Information

P. K. Butey1* and Manu Pratap Singh2

Abstract : In this paper, a methodology has presented for proper classification of fuzzy information. In this system, the fuzzy rules are used as input-output stimuli’s. The system consists of layered architecture of fuzzy- feed forward neural network. In this architecture the first hidden layer generates the degree of membership (DOM) for all the input-output patterns pairs. This vector of degree of membership is now being trained into the neural network for generating the fiinal classification of rules using the Backpropagation algorithm of feed forward neural network. Thus, neural network as a whole performs two tasks. First it generates the degree of membership and later it classifies the rules in different classes on the basis of membership function. A simulation program in C has been deliberated and developed for analyzing the consequences. The overall process has been illustrated by applying to one real­world classification problems i.e. IRIS. Results show the accuracy of the classification and improvement in the epochs for learning the fuzzy rules.
