The purpose of this paper was to describe the impact of green to the supply chain management. It involves adopting an environmentally-conscious mindset in conducting company level (strategic, tactical and operational) processes and is closely related to the broader concept of sustainability. The study advanced the proposition that organizational capabilities matter significantly in the adoption of GSCM practices and reveals importance background information pertaining the new posture on the relationship among supply chain management, social responsibility and environmental consciousness. Using this approach, ecological impacts of every little decision in various product stages such as product conceptualization, design, raw materials processing, manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, packaging, transportation, reusing, and refurbishing is measured and considered in designing the product and the required operations. Green supply chain management (GSCM) has emerged as a key approach for enterprises seeking to become environmentally sustainable. The notion of Green Supply Chain Management implies the insertion of environmental decisions within the traditional concept of Supply Chain Management. Here the case studies that was analysed, aims at reducing the consumption of paper at Educational Institutions and create a environmental consciousness in the minds of students and the management, thereby creating a paperless environment. As India is vast nation with many industries, implementing Green supply chain even at a small scale contributes drastically to the environment.Keywords

This paper proposes a method of identifying character-like regions in order to extract and recognize characters in natural color scene images automatically. After connected component extraction based on multi-group decomposition scheme, alignment analysis is used to check the block candidates, namely, the character-like regions in each binary image layer and the final composed image. Priority adaptive segmentation (PAS) is implemented to obtain accurate foreground pixels of the character in each block. Then some heuristic meanings such as statistical features, recognition confidence, and alignment properties, are employed to justify the segmented characters. The algorithms are robust for a wide range of character fonts, shooting conditions, and color backgrounds. Results of our experiments are promising for real applications.- Extracting Text in Scene Images by Character Region Verification

Wet land rice paddy ecosystems have been recently identified as a major source of atmospheric methane, which is currently increasing at 7 ppbv yr-1. Methane emission form rice paddies indicate a global source of 60 Tg yr-1. The CH4 emission rates vary significantly with the types of soil, cultivar variety, and cultivar age and water management. The expansion of irrigated cultivation area and new cultivation practices have made rice fields one of most important anthropogenic sources for atmospheric CH4. The CH4 emission from paddy ecosystems is controlled by physical processes (diffusion, ebullition and ventilation) and biological processes (microbial production and consumption). Thus in an effort to reduce uncertainties, in the present study diel variation of methane fluxes were measured from control, Pseudomonas and nemento amended rice cores for 24 hours at an interval of 30 minutes during tillering, reproductive and harvesting stages of growth of rice plants. The CH4 emission rates increased at accelerated rates and were maximum during the early afternoon (14-15 hours, 2.59-9.35 mg/m2) and decreased rapidly and remained constant during night (8.19-7.71 mg/m2). The diel CH4 emission in all the rice cores were lower during the tillering stage (2.18-7.17 mg/m2) and higher at the reproductive stage of the plant (2.59-9.50 mg/m2). This is probably due to higher soil Eh during the initial stage of plant growth. The methane emission was lower in night because low soil temperature at night causes low CH4 production rates. Also higher ambient CO2 concentration in the canopy during night reduces the transport of CH4 through plants. The CH4 emission rates decreases in Nemento amended cores (6.35 mg/m2) than Control cores (8.41 mg/m2) as nemento (product from neem) being nitrification inhibitor reduces CH4 production in soil. The Pseudomonas amended cores resulted in less CH4 emission (6.9 mg/m2) than Control cores as pseudomonas being a denitrifying bacteria helps reducing CH4 emission.Keywords

Objectives: The paper aims at reducing the power and energy deficit in various regions of India. Methods: A game theory based mathematical model performs the allocation called Shapley value, which does the fair allocation of power and energy in order to reduce the maximum deficit in a particular region. Findings: The simulation results confirm the distribution is fair enough in reducing the overall deficit percentage in all regions. Applications: The work can be integrated with the grid and further extensions to the next level are possible.Keywords

The rapid development of the internet and web publishing techniques create numerous information sources published as HTML pages on World Wide Web (WWW). However, there is lot of redundant and irrelevant information also on web pages like Navigation panels, Table of content (TOC), advertisements, copyright statements etc. There are various technologies & researches which are focusing on the extraction of relevant information from large web data storage. But still there is requirement of availability of automatic annotation of this extracted information into a systematic way so to be processed further for various purposes and for language independent also. In this system we present a simple, robust, accurate and language-independent solution for extracting the main content of an HTML formatted Web page and for removing additional content such as navigation menus, functional and design elements, and commercial advertisements. Accurate and efficient content extraction from Web pages is largely needed when searching or mining Web content. So in this system we use a new approach for content extraction called word to leaf ratio and density of links.Keywords

The effects of the delamination in the critical buckling load failure of E-Glass /epoxy composite laminates are analysed. The buckling load of rectangular composite plates is determined by carrying out the experimental work for different aspect ratios of range 2 to 3. The specimens are made with unidirectional fibres of orientation (90°/45°/-45°/0°)s. The width of long 100 mm and 50 mm at the centre of the plate, a single substantial delamination is made at the mid layer produced by Teflon film using hand lay-up technique. The buckling loads of plates were found by using simply supported boundary condition and kept the other side edges free. The experimental buckling loads were found from the graph drawn for vertical displacement vs load. By drawing the graph for the vertical displacement vs. load, the experimental buckling load can be calculated. Using finite element software of ANSYS 10, the experimental results were validated.Keywords
