University websites are increasingly used for a wide variety of purposes, such as uploading the prospectus, library catalogue, promote achievement of individuals, research groups, new publications, etc. Therefore, there is a necessity and desire to know about websites of academic organizations in general and Indian universities in particular. This paper aims to evaluate Agricultural Universities in India through webometrics method. A total of 54 Agricultural Universities were considered, which includes 44 State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), 1 Central University, 5 Deemed Universities, and 4 Central Universities with agriculture faculty. Various concepts like Google PageRank, Alexa Traffic Rank, and rich files are considered for evaluation. It also presents the network diagrams showing the link structures between the web nodes in webometric analysis.

Abstract

The scientometrics research uses various online database, indices and tools in order to establish relationships between authors or their work. This paper describes the scope and limitations of scientometrics - online database, scientometrics indices to perform qualitative/quantitative evaluations and scientometrics tools used to assess the quality of research. The data retrieved from Web of Science on the topic Nanoscience and Nanotechnology during the 2006-2010 i.e. 5 years of records of Indian contributions were analyzed by using various indices.

Abstract

Objectives: This paper identifies the limitations of ERP packages being used in Apparel industries and also identifies the crux in ERP in relation to the apparel industries. Methods/Analysis: Out of 117, 27 apparel industries were from Bangalore, 69 from Tirupur and 21 from Chennai have ERP packages. Out of 117, only 82 industries implemented fully of which 15 in Chennai, 46 in Tirupur and 21 are from Bangalore. The data thus received were analyzed using SPSS package. The statistical tools such as percentile, factor analysis, cluster analysis, Reliability test for the variables have been employed in the study. Findings: These apparel industries encounter various issues during implementation within the organization in the form of resistance, conflict, non-cooperation; indulge in activities against the interest of the organization etc., due to various reasons. Many of these issues are caused by internal employees of the organization which could have been averted. These external factors can overcome by the organization. Sometimes there exist functional limitations which can be identified only through utility. The sixteen variables thus used to evaluate the functional limitations of Apparel industry have been evaluated with Reliability test. The Cronbach alpha value for these 16 variables works out to 0.9677 which indicates that the variables taken up for the study is excellent. Majority of the companies indicated three areas that needs pruning in ERP packages. They are: Calculation of Manufacturing cost, Cost Analysis Report and Warehouse Management. These intrinsic issues are highly sensitive, challenging and it may lead to delay the ERP utilization process or sometimes leads to failure.Conclusion: The intrinsic issue raises adaptability resistances in other apparel industries that are planning to implement ERP system. To overcome these resistances, the add-on solutions will enable the apparel industries to implement the ERP packages.

Abstract

Friction stir welding is solid state joining process where the energy efficiency is dependant on the selection of tool geometry. The objective of this work is to reduce time consumption in calculating tool geometric parameters using C program. As the tool being of different geometry in concern with different complex operation, the energy generated and the temperature distribution which influenced by efficient energy is to be calculated. The calculation is performed based on the machining different work pieces by adjusting tool parameters of aluminium alloys such as Al6061-T6, Al22024-T6, Al7075-T6. Six different cases had been generated in our work for each Aluminium alloy where different RPM (Rotation Per Minute) such as 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 was maintained and compared to translational speed and applied normal force. The Energy and Maximum Temperature obtained using Taper Model and the Cylindrical model is compared based on the data processed during the machining. The proposed energy model equation is helpful in computing these data. Manual calculation in these equation may lead to large consumption. Thus the different tool parametric value can be easily generated by coding these equation in C program and feeding necessary input parameters from users. Thereby it generates the different values at faster rate. From this experiment, it is found that abrupt changes in the process may lead influence the efficiency of welding the material and may affect it. Larger data regarding the tool parameter can be processed easily at less time using C. Different tools have different parametric changes and thereby having knowledge over its parameters may not affect the work pieces. C program help to generate these data. Further improvement can be made by doing same study over different other tools and by coding these different values calculated maybe helpful in tool selection. The study can also be made over similar other welding processes too and also help in prevention of damage of different work pieces.
