This study demonstrates the characteristics of slice thickness measurement for medical images using a wedge digital phantom. A wedge-shaped digital phantom was generated and the ideal edge response function (ERF) was extracted from line profile in single slice. The corresponding slice profile was calculated by the derivative of ERF. The wedge phantom obtained by applying gaussian convolving to a digital phantom was also generated to produce similarities to real medical images. Unlike an ideal slice profile, it was estimated by the full width half maximum (FWHM) of the Gaussian function fitting. In addition, we evaluate the effect of background noise and wedge angle for the wedge phantom. The estimated FWHM of the image with noise added was increased by 10.4% compared to the image without noise. However, the FWHM from the line profiles averaging on the noise-added image was estimated by 0.2% reduction than the noise-free image. The line profiles averaging improves the accurate measurement of slice thickness by decreasing the noise. Despite the wedge angle changing from 45 to 30 degrees, the resulting FWHM was estimated to have less than 1% difference. However, the length of the line profile to be acquired should be increased as the wedge angle increases.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>327</first_page>     <last_page>329</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5001.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5001119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Cybersecurity Assessments</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology (MGIT), Hyderabad, India.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Sanjana</given_name>      <surname>Gadalay</surname>    </person_name>  </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>The purpose of this study is to review the existing cybersecurity assessments and practices used by technology companies to protect their assets from potential harm and damage. Today, the software systems have thousands of vulnerabilities and, when breached, can cost the companies millions of dollars. A clear path for identifying risks, detecting threats, and responding to them is imperative. However, it is not easy to quantify cybersecurity risks as the networks and networks of networks are becoming complicated and, so most risk assessments use relevant parameters to calculate a risk score. If this score is high, it has a high impact on the critical systems. This knowledge helps hi-tech companies such as finance, banking, healthcare, defense, and supply-chain sectors to prioritize their actions and investments effectively. This study examines the risk assessment strategies and steps that companies adopt across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to stay ahead of cybersecurity risks.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>330</first_page>     <last_page>332</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5004.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5004119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Indian National Telecom Policies Evolution Significance and a Perspective</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>is a Ph.

This paper analyses the commonalities and differences in the two telecom policies released in 2012 and 2018.The research study facilitates some rational perspective on NDCP 18 from digital technology lens. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: This is a qualitative study for conducting a comparative analysis of the aforesaid consecutive Indian telecom policies. The primary sources are the final policy documents and industry opinions. To gauge the industry sentiments and expert opinions, various press releases and related news articles are also studied. This study of the two consecutive telecom policies of the government of India aims at finding the fundamental differences between the two policies. Objective: Finding the fundamental differences between the two policies and the factors necessitating the replacement of the older policy with a new one. This research sheds light on why and how NDCP 18 differs from rest previous policies and what it has in its bag for both Industry as well as consumers. Finding: India has struggled with the implementation of the objectives laid out in the policies. NTP 2012 was launched with an aim to transform the country into an empowered knowledge-based society, using telecom as a platform, and to provide reliable, secure and quality telecom services in remote and rural areas. NTP 12 turned out to be generally successful except for some unachieved targets such as free roaming and maximum broadband reach NDCP 2018 is a new multi-perspective policy leapfrogging the Indian economy as an emerging digital economy. NDCP 2018 was designed in alignment with Digital India initiatives to reduce the Digital Divide; however, for India to emerge as a digital economy prioritization of achievable objectives must be marked out and implementation must be ensured. On the positive side, the overall impact of NDCP 18 is going to be monitored. This research study also reveals important analysis from interviews of telecom expert’s. This analysis facilitates unique perspective about NDCP 18 to this research study.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>333</first_page>     <last_page>340</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5005.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5005119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Analysis of Monetary Policy and its Impact on Indian Economy</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Mittal School of Business, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, India.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Dr. Manpreet</given_name>      <surname>Kaur</surname>    </person_name>    <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <surname>Sunanda</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Lovely Professional University Phagwara, Punjab, India. </organization>   </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>Monetary policy matters for growth both in the short-run and long-run.

Cultivation of microalgae in a controlled environment highly results to biomass with lower contamination necessary as high-valued economic product. In response to the emerging challenges of sustainable energy production, the integration of computational intelligence and biosystems engineering is considered as an open research area. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris microalgae were cultivated in BG-11 growth medium on three customized surface-mount light bioreactors that are equipped with digital camera for growth monitoring in terms of accumulated biomass surface area and color reflectance intensity via IoT. Feature-based machine learning models predicted microalgae growth area in terms of water temperature, pH level and turbidity, and light intensity. Microalgae cultures were exposed to combinations of white artificial light source of 2000 ± 1000 lux and water temperature of 27 ± 5°C using Peltier plate to discriminate biomass growth within a 30-day cultivation period. A total of nine environmental conditions were employed to clearly discriminate the impacts of environmental stressors to microalgae growth. Combined neighborhood component analysis and ReliefF was used to select high impact color features of C, Ye, M, H, and S with biomass area. Electromagnetism-like mechanism optimized-RBNN bested RNN and generalized processing regression with R2 of 0.985 and RMSE of 6.262. There is also considerable growth in biomass surface area for certain combinations of light intensity and water temperature (2125 ± 625 lux and 28.75 ± 3.25°C), and turbidity and water pH concentrations (3.85 ± 0.15 NTU and 8.025 ± 0.775). However, the photobioreactor with 27°C and 2000 lux exposure is considered having the exact optimum controlled environment condition in cultivating Chlorella vulgaris based on the generated growth in biomass surface area of 38.314%. This developed intelligent system is scalable for seamless microalgae production of any strands for renewable energy resource.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>378</first_page>     <last_page>387</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5007.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5007119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Design of Bio-retention Filter Basin for Conservation and Purification of Storm water runoff in Urban Areas</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Civil Engg., Amity School of Engineering and Technology, Amity University Mumbai, Panvel, Maharashtra, India.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>S. sangita</given_name>      <surname>Mishra</surname>    </person_name>    <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Vishesh</given_name>       <surname>Verma</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Civil Engg., Amity School of Engineering and Technology, Amity University Mumbai, Panvel, Maharashtra, India.</organization>   </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>Urban areas are more susceptible to water logging and subsequent flood conditions because of reduced rate of infiltration arising from construction activities particularly during the monsoon season. However, if the storm water runoff is conserved and purified, it will be useful to cater to the needs of the huge population in urban areas during the periods of less rainfall or non-monsoon season. Bio-retention basins are best management practices that use a biogeochemical process within a vegetative eco-system to provide soil moisture retention and purification of storm water. While this structure has been implemented in many countries around the world, it is yet to be implemented in Indian cities with necessary modifications considering the topography, population pressure, hydrological characteristics of a basin, and the soil and water management practices. This project work is oriented to design a bio-retention filter basin in the parking lots or roadsides or streetscapes in Indian urban cities.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>289</first_page>     <last_page>294</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5011.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5011119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Simulation of 28 Element Ultrasound Transducer for Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) Applications</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Department Electronics and Communication, Amity University, Maharashtra Mumbai, Maharashtra, India</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Kiran</given_name>      <surname>Kale</surname>    </person_name>  </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>Quantitative ultrasound based Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is one of the leading test procedures used in testing of finished products in manufacturing industry.

The availability of varied options in the market for similar purposes increases the competition between organizations, to market their product, tremendously. This leads to the need for reinforcement of marketing strategies from time to time. With the advancement of technology, this can be made possible. This paper proposes a systematic approach for targeting customers and providing maximum profit to the organizations. An important initial step is to analyze the data of sales acquired from the purchase history and determine the parameters that have the maximum correlation. We focus on the parameters recency and frequency of the purchases made by the customers to perform clustering. Based on respective clusters, proper resources can be channeled towards profitable customers using machine learning algorithms. This paper also deals with the draw- backs of the recommender system like cold start problem, sparsity, etc and how they can be overcome. K-Means clustering is used for customer segmentation and Singular Value Decomposition is used for providing appropriate recommendations to the customers.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>295</first_page>     <last_page>303</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5013.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5013119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Conceptual Model of a Variable Cross-Section Brake Master Cylinder with Fuzzy Logic Controller</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>School of Mechanical Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Vaibhav</given_name>      <surname>Bisht</surname>    </person_name>  </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>A Master Cylinder installed with a servo motor to vary the cross-sectional area of a Plunger Assembly is discussed.

This intelligent system helps achieve sufficient brake force under the dynamic requirement. The body is made of Al 7075-T6 primarily due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. In light of the corrosive nature of brake fluid at certain values of its pH, electroless-nickel plating of the Master Cylinder part components is also discussed.

The production of SCC involves the selection of appropriate materials and good quality control which is essential for the durability of concrete. The mineral admixtures and filler materials provide additional reduction to the porosity of the concrete. The primary objective of the present research work is to carry out the experimental investigations on durability properties of SCC with 20 different mix proportions, containing various percentages of filler materials like Limestone Powder (LP) and Marble Powder (MP), along with the mineral admixtures like Fly ash (F) and Silica Fume (SF). Experimental investigation on the durability properties for all the 20 mixes of SCC was carried out by conducting the Rapid Chloride Penetration Test (RCPT), Saturated Water Absorption Test, Acid Resistance Test, Sulphate Resistance Test, Water Permeability Test and Salt Water Resistance Test. From the experimental study, it is observed that the SCC mix with equal proportions F (10%), SF (10%), LP (10%) and MP (10%), exhibit better performance than the control mix in terms of strength and durability characteristics and thus it is concluded that the addition of mineral admixtures and filler materials have a pivotal role in the development of strength and durability aspects of SCC.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>388</first_page>     <last_page>396</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5017.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5017119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Image Watermarking Hybrid Approach for Embedding Binary Watermark into the Digital Image</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Associate Professor, Department of Computer Engineering, OM Engineering College, Junagadh, Gujarat, India.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Dr. Kaushik H.</given_name>      <surname>Raviya</surname>    </person_name>    <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Dr. DwivediVed </given_name>       <surname>Vyas</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Vice Chancellor, Gokul Global University, Siddhpur, Gujarat, India.</organization>     <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Dr. Ashish M.</given_name>       <surname>Kothari</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Deputy Registrar &amp; Associate Professor, Department of Electronics &amp; Communication Engineering, Atmiya University, Rajkot, Gujarat, India.</organization>   </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>This paper illustrates a unique approach for embedding binary image watermarks into the digital images. or the purpose of watermarking; we made use of three most influential transforms in the field of image processing i.e. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD).

The collected data is pre-processed, analyzed and tested using Long Short-Term Memory recurrent neural network model. R-square score is also used to test the accuracy. The study results show that applying Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM RNN) enables to come up with more accurate prediction about crime incidence occurrence with respect to time.

Specimens of 36 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length tested were made. Uncoated inserts and coated WC tungsten carbide inserts with: TiN; TiN / Al2O3 and TiC / Al2O3 / TiN, were use. The tests were carried out on automatic parallel lathe, using the cutting parameters: 1500 rpm; a= 0,25 mm/rev; p= 0,4 mm; therefore, the cutting speed was Vc= 170 m/min. Roughness was measured in the roughness meter: Mitutoyo, Surftest-211, and a high resolution optical microscope was used to measure the flank wear, complementing with SEM electron microscopy. It was found that the lowest roughness Ra is obtained using Triple inserts showing a variation Ra = 2μm. The maximum flank wear VB = 300μm was taken as machinability criterion, to later determine the tool life for each insert. The uncoated insert life was 8 mim, and TiN coated insert life was 14.5 min, while the bilayer and trilayer coating inserts did not exhaust their life for 12,000 mm length machining. Uncoated and TiN-coated inserts showed strong wear and workpiece material build-up (BUE). The double and triple layer inserts did not show this phenomenon due to the Al203 compound which is chemically inert at high temperatures. The most prevalent mechanisms in the inserts wear was adhesion and abrasion. No direct or inverse relationship was found between wear and roughness.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>406</first_page>     <last_page>415</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5026.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5026119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Effects of Jet Flow Pulsation on Diffusion Flame Performance</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Professor, Department of Mechanical Power, Ain Shams University, Egypt.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>A.M.</given_name>      <surname>Moustafa</surname>    </person_name>    <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>M.M.</given_name>       <surname>Kamal</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Assistant Professors, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Egypt.</organization>     <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Ashraf M.</given_name>       <surname>Hamed</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Assistant Professors, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Egypt.</organization>     <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Ahmed E</given_name>       <surname>Hussin</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Assistant Professors, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Egypt.</organization>   </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>he objective of the current research is the experimental investigation of the pulsating flow effects on the combustion performance in terms of the flame temperature distribution, the heat transfer rate, the combustion efficiency and the exhaust gas analysis. The flow pulsation provided through a rotary ball valve in accordance with a variable speed motor arrangement increased the flame temperature fluctuation and the magnitude of heat release. The flow pulsation provides a highly turbulent flame wherein the vortices are enlarged. Increasing Strouhal number [St] of the LPG fuel and air flow increases the time-averaged flame temperature of the pulsating flame up to a saturation level that is dictated by the heat transfer rate enhancement. The maximum average flame temperature is 1263oC at St= 0.041, r= 0 mm and 100 mm from the burner inlet. In addition, increasing the pulsating flow amplitude increases the convection and radiation heat fluxes from the pulsating flame. While increasing the pulsation decreases the exhaust UHC due to increasing the turbulent kinetic energy across the pulsating flame, the exhaust NOx slightly increases due to increasing the heat release rate and the flame temperatures. Pulsation thus enhances the combustion efficiency inside the industrial combustors.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>444</first_page>     <last_page>451</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5031.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5031119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>The Impact of Perceived Organizational Support on Organizational Commitment</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Institute of Islam Hadhari, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Nor Azima</given_name>      <surname>Ahmad</surname>    </person_name>    <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Azman</given_name>       <surname>Ismail</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Institute of Islam Hadhari1, Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia.</organization>     <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Fariza Md</given_name>       <surname>Sham</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Institute of Islam Hadhari1, Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia. </organization>   </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>This study measure the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational commitment.

With t-test the analysis is done and we can analyse that knowledge management strategies depend upon employees’s interest in implementing the knowledge with in the premises of the organisation.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>455</first_page>     <last_page>461</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5039.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5039119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article> <!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Experimental Study on the Strengthening Properties of Rubber Concrete with Hook End Steel Fibers</title> </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Civil Engineering, Anurag University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Pallepati</given_name>      <surname>Rupa</surname>    </person_name>    <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Sunil Kumar.</given_name>       <surname>K</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Civil Engineering, Anurag University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.</organization>     <person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>       <given_name>Menam</given_name>       <surname>Axetha</surname>     </person_name>     <organization sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>Civil Engineering, Anurag University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.</organization>   </contributors>     <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>The fast development of automobile sector, removal of discarded waste elastic is turning into a broad ecological problem. In the current work, exertion has been made to limit this problem By using scrap elastic as the scrap (morsel) concrete rubber in various percentages, as a partial replacement for the fine aggregates. In this paper, the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete with steel fibre (RSFC) are studied experimentally. This article discussed the effect by volume of concrete (5, 7.5 and 10 per cent rubber) and (0.8.0.1 and 1.2 per cent steel fibre) on the reinforcement of the properties of rubberized concrete with steel fibres (RSFC) of scrap crumb rubber (SCR) and steel fibre (SF) with different steel substances. The literature survey suggests that there is a substantial decline in strengths of the single morsel rubber used in traditional concrete. like compressive, tensile and flexural strength therefore to overcome this problem by using steel fibers in present investigation and from the results it can be finalized that the all the strengthening properties (compressive, tensile strength and flexural strength) are increased contrasted with rubberized concrete but still test values are inferior than conventional concrete due to fineness of crumb rubber and irregular shape of hook end steel fiber.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>426</first_page>     <last_page>430</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.D5052.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/D5052119420/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article><!-- ============== --> <journal_article publication_type='full_text'>   <titles>     <title>Effect of CNTs Parameter Variation on the Performance of Analog Device</title>   </titles>   <contributors>      <organization sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>Department of ECE, Sharda University, Greater Noida, India.</organization>    <person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>      <given_name>Shailendra K.</given_name>      <surname>Tripathi</surname>    </person_name>  </contributors>    <jats:abstract xml:lang='en'>         <jats:p>Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a prominent material for present day nano-scale systems design. In spite of their widespread use in biology, and nano-electro mechanical systems (NEMS, CNTs have encroached upon conventional MOSFETs for the design of low power and high speed circuits. Because CNT possesses higher current carrying capability, higher transconductance and near ballistic transport of charge carriers. The diameter of the CNTs laid from the Source to the Drain in a CNFET has the significant influence on the characteristics of the device itself as well as on the features of circuits implemented using the said CNFET. Such variations in circuit parameters with CNT diameter can be shown to be more pronounced in analog circuits as compared to digital CNFET-based designs. The present work attempts to investigate the effect of diameter variation on a versatile analog building block (ABB) viz. the inverting current conveyor. It is demonstrated that various parameters of the ICC-II under scrutiny, like voltage bandwidth, current bandwidth, average power dissipation, etc. depend on the diameter of CNT(s) used in the CNFETs. HSPICE simulations performed on a 0.9V; 32nm CNFET-based ICC-II are included to exemplify the dependencies studied.</jats:p>     </jats:abstract>  <publication_date media_type='online'>     <month>11</month>     <day>30</day>     <year>2020</year>   </publication_date>   <pages>     <first_page>237</first_page>     <last_page>241</last_page>   </pages>   <crossmark>     <crossmark_version>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</crossmark_version>     <crossmark_policy>10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy</crossmark_policy>     <crossmark_domains>       <crossmark_domain>          <domain>www.ijrte.org</domain>       </crossmark_domain>     </crossmark_domains>     <crossmark_domain_exclusive>true</crossmark_domain_exclusive>   </crossmark>   <doi_data>     <doi>10.35940/ijrte.F7990.119420</doi>     <resource>https://www.ijrte.org/portfolio-item/F7990038620/</resource>   </doi_data> </journal_article>
