Effect of austenitizing temperature on the bainitic ferrite transformation during hot induction bending of line pipe steel

The present work is about the effect of austenitizing temperature on the bainitic ferrite transformation during hot induction bending of line pipe steel of grade API X65 PSL-2. The essential characteristics of the pipeline were first manufacturing by hot rolling the plates by thermo-mechanical control process(TMCP) and after followed by the pipe making process by JCOE forming route and finally the line pipe subjected to the hot bending process. During hot bending the line pipe exposed to localized induction heating followed by water cooling. Bend portion of the pipe examination carried with respect to microstructure and mechanical properties normally strength, toughness, and hardness. The results showed that significant microstructural changes observed by varying austenitizing temperature, at a high austenitizing temperature of range between 950-990°C the resulting microstructure found very fine bainitic ferrite & ferrite well exists intragranular in prior austenitic grain(PAG) pockets. The hot bend pipe of the resulting microstructure greatly improved the strength and toughness of the line pipe steel.

IoT based smart agricultural system

The agriculture field plays a vital role in the development of agriculture. In a country like India, this issue is very important because almost 60% of peoples are depending on agriculture, and these peoples are from rural areas. For that instance, there is a solution to this problem is by doing smart agriculture by considering the current traditional methods of agriculture. Hence, this proposed paper aims at making IoT Based Smart Agricultural System. Using sensors, analyze, monitor, and selecting crops, etc. The controller takes the input data from the sensors, and then it processes the entire system after integrating all the peripherals along with the software. This project is working in three phases, [1] Taking the data from the sensors, Sending that data to the Atmega 328 pi controller, and Controlling the device as per the data obtained. The software used for this is Arduino UNO. In this Paper, Sensors are used for sensing the different parameters such as Humidity and Temperature, Smoke, Level, and Light, etc. Atmega 328 pi is controlled by all parameters. The outputs are shown manually onto the LCD, and through the Webpage using IoT. The buzzer used for the alert notifications.

Analysis and allocation of human resources and machinery in a building project

Planning and scheduling are important jobs in construction projects. In this project analysis and allocation of human resources and equipment will be done in commercial plus residential building to increase productivity and the collected data were analyzed using the MS project software. The time and cost of the project are most important for the success of the project. Selecting skilled labor, unskilled labor, and allotting them to a particular work at a particular time is a difficult task. Continuous monitoring of the workforce is important as it includes the cost of projects that show to increase and delay of projects. In this study, a case of commercial and residential building has been taken to display how proper planning and scheduling is done using the Microsoft project. Good project management in construction is the efficient utilization of labor and equipment. The selection of the appropriate type and size of construction equipment /influences the required amount of time and effort and productivity of a project. Proper utilization of human resource management techniques to avoid shortage of labor. The project may have a simple goal that does not require many people or a great deal of money or it may be quite complex, calling for diverse skills and a plethora of resources. But the bottom line is that each one of us manages projects. Owing to this the purpose of dealing with the project should not be only execution but effective and efficient execution of the project is necessary which is needed to be highlighted. The collection of the suitable type and size of construction equipment often pretends the required amount of time and effort and thus the job-site productivity of a project. This thesis is to study the management of equipment and human recourses practices in the Construction Industry. There is a number of incidents taken place in the construction industry that leads to various issues which cause the project cost to increase and fall behind the program. The findings revealed that Cost is majorly considered by the employees in construction projects with respect to interest projects, Time is the second thing that is important in construction projects and eventually Quality is given least preference by the employees of the construction companies as it has importance in the construction projects. The usefulness of construction machinery is a major factor that differentiates construction companies in terms of heavy construction and light construction.

Chennai media student’s impressions over the ever-evolving media industry

Social media has become a dominant characteristic of much of the lives of the people, including journalists in all disciplines. Several media outlets have come to rely on online news, much of it coming from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. While several studies have examined the use of technology and social media separately and how students can learn in today's digital age, here is a research on the use of social media by young media students and how they see both their news reporting & gathering skills and the profession itself. This research involves the purposive sample method and the survey of 203 current, undergraduate pre- media students at a large, in Chennai. This study also involves three frameworks, including the use of technology and social media, the perception of media education, and the perception of the media industry, to find out how young journalists feel about their journalism studies in a changing industry.

Widening opportunity gap between students due to Covid-19

The covid 19 shutdown has created far-reaching changes in the education system. There occurred a sudden shift to the online mode of instruction in the blink of an eye. The study intends to find out evidence of any kind of disparity in the distribution of academic opportunity between lower-income students and their better-off peers. It is conducted by using a qualitative research approach. Economic turbulence caused by the covid-19 situation has led to many economic issues in an average family and it has a direct effect on students’ personal and academic life. The quality of e-learning services and facilities provided to the students are also assessed as a part of the study.

NPA Management using Blockchain

The usage of Blockchain Technology has been increasing rapidly across the various business sectors. Multiple industries across various sectors are adopting it for its immutability, transparency, tamper proof-ness, and its distributed nature. As such, the banking industry is looking at it intently to solve a variety of problems it currently faces. One of them is NPA management. Especially in India, this is a big issue as the rate at which NPAs are growing is very high. This paper aims to find a potential solution to this problem by developing a blockchain model conceptually which uses smart contracts to effectively manage NPAs. Timers or Loop code concept in a smart contract has been utilized to keep track of a loan as it becomes an NPA. Different scenarios have been provided to explain the working of the concept. An example use case has been elaborated upon as well. The paper developed a conceptual model that is effective in managing NPA as well as it provides a scope for government, NPA as well as external auditors to monitor the state of NPAs of a bank. This paper also provides the scope to further develop the model by creating a working blockchain-based model.
