Abstract:
Industrial relations has become one of the most delicate and complex problems of modern industrial society. Industrial progress is not possible without collaboration of labors and harmonious relationships. Industries participate a very significant role for the economic development of the nation. Industrialization is a nonstop process and usually passes during three steps. In the first stage secondary industry concerns itself with the processing of primary products e.g. milling grains and tanning leather etc. In the Second stage, secondary industry begins to transfer material to somewhat finished goods e.g. preparation of bread and confectionery etc. In the third stage, machine and equipment is used not for direct satisfaction of any want but for facilitating future process of production. Most, of the developing countries have only reached second stage of industrialization. The present paper focuses on Growth of Industrial Relations in India where, it is based on Secondary data where, post-reform period (1995-2013) has been undertaken. The Statistical tools used for the study are Average, Compound Annual Growth Rate and Percentages. Originally, industrial relations were broadly defined to include the relationships and interactions between employers and employees. From this perspective, industrial relations cover all aspects of the employment relationship, including human resource management, employee relations, and union-management relations.

Abstract:
The solid waste in municipal corporations is rising in Nasik. An increase in solid waste is observed because of increase in urbanization, population density and income. The growth of industry, commercial units such as hotels, theatres, restaurants, malls are rising fast. Such units are positively contributing to the solid waste generation. Solid waste collection, segregation and disposal capacity of Municipal Corporations is low and inadequate with rising solid waste. Therefore municipal corporations must adopt scientific methods for collection, segregation and disposal of solid waste. Municipal corporations must accommodate private sector for investment and management of solid waste. It will improve the quality life of people in Nasik. The objective of this study was to assess the status, challenges, and opportunities of the existing Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in SWM in the Nasik city.

Abstract:
Our work is based on the automatic segmentation of tumour area in MRI scan images of human brain. Automatic detection of tumour is a motive to make our machines smarter so that they can understand the problems by themselves and diagnose them. After analysis of previous work we noted that optimisation algorithms are best for automatic segmentation of tumour which performs well for unsupervised learning algorithms. So we used a hybrid algorithm which is a combination of modified shuffle leap frog algorithm (MSFLA) and bacterial foraging optimisation (BFO) algorithm. We have targeted the segmentation of T2 type tumour segmentation from MRI images which are fetched from the BRATS 2015 (multimodal brain tumour segmentation) database. The whole database is of 2.2 GB and consists of a lot of tumour MRI images with ground truth.

Abstract:
A leaf is an organ of vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem. Each leaf has a set of features that differentiate it from the other leaves, such as margin and shape. This work proposes a comparison of supervised plant leaves classification using different approaches, based on different representations of these leaves, and the chosen algorithm. Beginning with the representation of leaves, we presented leaves by a fine-scale margin feature histogram, by a Centroid Contour Distance Curve shape signature, or by an interior texture feature histogram in 64 element vector for each one, after we tried different combination among these features to optimize results. We classified the obtained vectors. Then we evaluate the classification using cross validation. The obtained results are very interesting and show the importance of each feature. The classification of plant leaf images with biometric features. Traditionally, the trained taxonomic perform this process by following various tasks. The taxonomic usually classify the plants based on flowering and associative phenomenon. It was found that this process was time consuming and difficult. The biometric features of plants leaf like venation make this classification easy. Leaf biometric feature are analyzed using computer based method like morphological feature analysis and artificial neural network and Naive bayes based classifier. KNN classification model take input as the leaf venation morphological feature and classify them into four different species. The result of this classification based on leaf venation is achieved 96.53% accuracy in the training of the model for classification of leaves provide the 91% accuracy in testing to classify the leaf images.

Abstract:
The traditional task of school and university education process is considered an active reason of social change enlightened factors in our time, as well as the teacher is a determining factor in the personal composition of the enlightened in their students, and is capable of thinking and insight conscious choice of directions and aims of this change. This is the current era is the era of information and communications technology and its applications in all areas is education in this era which saw from a technical evolution and the emergence of new global economic patterns of the most vibrant and successful commodity and a driving force for change, so we have to realize dealing with education in ways that differ from past and present. They use and dissemination of modern communications and information technology that will help the student to enable him to basic Arabic language skills, while students serve in the face of the world revolution and technology conscious thought and clear Arabic. Because traditional methods of education are alienate them students. And modern technologies will give to ease curriculum design, develop, test and measure the degree of efficiency of the process, and help teachers discover the modern methods of education process. So it has to be training in the use of computer and communications technology and information and are taught the Arabic language according to modern theories, and with the help of language labs that provide effective simulation language processes and practice hearing and spoken debugging and help the students to control the course of the lecture process. Today we need a plan to modernize and develop the Arabic language education process as an integrated system from the beginning of the student and the teacher even on the basis of the use of educational technology multimedia. And the use of educational technology, particularly the knocking of technological updates on the education process does not drop the role of the teacher while changes to focus on collected knowledge and development of skills, which is reflected on the student's ability to self-learning because the teacher is no longer the only carrier of knowledge it is directed and co-students and director of the research project the mentor and student in science-oriented trip through the planning of the educational place and the choice of learning resources that are commensurate with the goals planned and recording his observations on the extent of student achievement and then directing. But the teacher will not be up to this paradigm shift, but if mastered the technical work allowing him opportunities in the course of his career in the short-term. The aims of the research that we aspire to meet them is detected the effectiveness of the technology and multimedia in changing students' attitudes toward learning the Arabic language and clarify the role of the teacher in the age of information technology.

International Journal of Latest Engineering Research and Applications, pp 83 - 91, Vol 01 - No. 05, 2016
Abstract:
Pulp & Paper industry is considered as one of the most polluting sector in the world. They are recognized as a source of green house gas emissions in the paper manufacturing sector since they produce CO2, CH4 and N2O during the production process. The major air emissions of the industry come from sulfite mills as recovery furnaces and burners, sulfur oxides (SOx), from Kraft operation as reduced sulfur gases and odor problems, from wood-chips digestion, spent liquor evaporation and bleaching as volatile organic carbons (VOCs), and from combustion process as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and SOx. It would be interesting to analyze and quantify these green house gas emissions from Pulp & Paper mill. The proposed study is an attempt in this direction. The estimation of green house gases from different Pulp & Paper mill of region situated near west of Uttar Pradesh such as Rama paper mill, Kiratpur, Bijnor, Mohit paper mill, Nagina, Bijnor etc has been done using the IPCC 2006 guidelines by calculative methodology. For each mill, daily quantity of fuel burned has been collected for fifteen days using either digitally available meters representing the quantity of fuel burned or by theoretical values suggested by the mill workers. Also, the data has been calculated using formula suggested by IPCC 2006 guidelines and a comparison has been done between observed values and calculated result. Results reveal that significant quantities of GHG emissions are produced using different qualities of fuel such as Charcoal, Tel Rahit Bhussi, Petroleum coke etc. It has also been observed that the emissions coming from petroleum coke is in lesser amount as compared to other fuels. Also the profiles of observed and calculated GHG emissions could not match well. It is suggested that extensive attempts should be made for correct monitoring of GHGEs from pulp & paper mills. Further, it is strongly suggested that continuous monitoring of fuel should be taken care with replacement of Bhussi and coke with pet coke and also quantity of emissions should be monitored before and after each unit of paper production to have better quantification of GHG emissions. Also I have taken a graphical representation of all the fuel in terms of GHG emissions they are emitting respectively.
