Determination of Customer based Brand Equity and Its Impact on Loyalty for Apparel Brands among Young Students of Chennai City

There is a fastidious saying that “Customer is a king”. Mahatma Gandhiji has also quoted that “Customer is the most important visitor on our premises”. Marketers and firms had understood that desire of the customers is very important for their brands. Customer passion is the drive of any brands. Brand equity refers the brand value. Methodology: Undoubtedly brands are the asset of the company. Customer based brand equity is to determine the customer attitude towards a brand. CBBE model was proposed by Aaker(1991) and K.L Keller(1992). Based on the model, the researcher has proposed a questionnaire construct which is administered to the young student’s community of Chennai city regarding the apparel brands which they patronize in their everyday life. 273 samples were collected from the young college students of Chennai. 10 samples were taken for pilot study to check the validity of the questionnaire and the responses. Research Gap: Earlier studies have proved that Brand Awareness, Brand Associations, Perceived quality and Brand loyalty are the dimensions of brand equity. In this study the researcher has slightly made an alteration by adding additional constructs namely Brand relevance and Brand differentiation (Brand Asset Valuator Model of brand equity) and attempted to prove all the 5 dimensions are having impact on brand loyalty. Author proved, perceived quality is the mediation construct to achieve the brand loyalty (outcome) using Structural equation modelling. Findings: Findings proved that Brand Awareness, Brand Associations, Perceived quality, Brand relevance and brand differentiation is having an impact on loyalty among young students of Chennai city.

ENERGY EFFICIENT WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS USING RAPTOR CODES

----In this paper, we have explored the energy efficiency of Raptor codes; a first known class of fountain codes in an energy constrained network. Transmission power is adjusted dynamically to overcome unreliability over lossy links in wireless sensor network. One of the most felicitous key for this reliability issue is using Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes. This paper investigates the energy bagged by one such FEC code called Raptor codes in the Binary Erasure Channel scenario. We analysed the performance of Raptor codes in terms of energy by varying the precoder in it. The network parameters such as Bit Error Rate (BER), Throughput and Energy Spent per Bit are considered for our study. The simulation results show that Raptor code with BCH as a precoder outperforms Raptor code alongside LDPC as a precoder.
Multi-word Aspect Term Extraction Using Turkish User Reviews

Nowadays, when an individual wants to buy any product or a company wants to take the pulse of public opinion about its product, user reviews of this product have become a valuable source of information. As a consequence of that, aspect based sentiment analysis has become popular research field which has also attracted the attention of researchers. In this study, we devised a method which extracts multi-word aspects from the Turkish user reviews.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Distributed Generation: Panel Causality Evidence from New Zealand

Both the relevant literature and the regulatory authorities’ policy reports suggest that there is a relationship between smart meters and distributed generation and that an essential tool for the integration of distributed generation into electric systems is the smart meter technology. However, to date, there has been no formal or scientific test of this proposition. This article examines the relationship between advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and distributed generation (DG), which are expected to be among the critical components of future electricity markets. For this purpose, long monthly time series data were used for four different consumer groups (commercial, industrial, residential and small- and medium-sized enterprises) for the network reporting regions in New Zealand and a panel Granger causality analysis was conducted. The econometric results establish a two-way causality relationship between AMI penetration and DG uptake rate. These findings are in line with the propositions in the literature and policy papers, and they comprise policy implications.

A field experiment entitled “Influence of integrated weed management practices on bio fertilizers and soil enzyme activity in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merill] in southern Telangana agroclimatic zone" was conducted at the Agricultural College farm, Rajendranagar. Hyderabad,Telangana State during 2014 and 2015. Maximum of 10.62 and 12.73 x log 10 CFU g-1 soil colony forming units of Rhizobium developed at 30 days during 2014 and 2015 in the hand weeding treatment. The CFU of 9.71 and 11.61 x log 10 CFU g-1 soil due to the integrated weed management treatment were also on par. They were significantly low due to pre and post emergence herbicide applications. Maximum colony forming units of 2.68 x log 10 CFU g-1 soil at 30 days and 2.97 x log 10 CFU g-1 soil phosphate solubilising bacteria per gram soil were recorded at 30 days during 2015. The improvement in the colony forming units of this bacteria increased over fertilizer application when Rhizobium, phosphorus and potassium solubilising bacteria were also added. This effect was significant at 30 days during 2014 and 60 days during 2015.The interactions were not significant. The dehydrogenase and urease activity, the acid and alkaline phosphatases were not significantly influenced by the weed management treatments at 30 and 60 days during 2014 or 2015.The application of nutrient mobilizing cultures also did not influence any of these parameters in the two years.
AB0124 Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients Display An Atherogenic Profile Associated with Disease Activity and Endothelial Dysfunction

Background Several studies have demonstrated that Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology, is associated with several comorbidities such as cardiac pathology, accelerated atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Yet, the relevance of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the development of atherosclerosis in AS patients is not fully known. Objectives 1) To analyze the gene expression profile associated with the development of atherosclerosis in PBMCs from AS patients. 2) To evaluate the role of PBMCs in the endothelial dysfunction present in AS patients. Methods Twenty five patients with AS and 25 healthy donors were included in the study. Disease function and activity status were analyzed using the BASFI and BASDAI indexes, respectively. The expression of 84 genes related to atherosclerosis was analyzed in purified PBMCs by PCR array, using total ARN pools of patients and healthy donors. Next, validation of several differentially expressed genes in PBMCs, selected on the basis of their expression levels and relevance in AS pathology, was carried out in our patient and healthy donor cohort. Endothelial function was determined by the post occlusive hyperaemia test using Laser-Doppler. To analyze the role of PBMCs in endothelial function, in vitro co-cultures of endothelial cells (HUVEC) and PBMCS from AS patients with different inflammatory status were performed. Results The endothelial function analysis demonstrated a significant reduction of post occlusive hyperaemia area in AS patients in relation to healthy donors, thus pointing at the presence of a prominent endothelial dysfunction in these patients. The analysis of the genetic profile in PBMCs showed a significant alteration in the expression of genes related to inflammatory (CCL2, CCL5, CCR1, CCR2, IL1R2, IL1A, IL2, IL5, NOS3, SPP1), and oxidative stress response (APOE, SOD1). An altered expression of genes linked to cellular adhesion (CDH5, ICAM-1, SELL, SPP1, CTGF, FN1, THBS4, TNC), lipid metabolism and transport (ABCA1, APOA1, APOE, FABP3, LPL, LPA, MSR1), cell growth and proliferation (CSF2, SSP1, BCL2, FABP3, FGF2, LIF, CRGF), as well as transcription and apoptosis regulators (PPARA, PPARD, EGR1, BCL2, BCL2A1, BCL2L1) was further demonstrated. In vitro treatment of HUVECs with PBMCs from AS patients with a high pro-inflammatory profile promoted a significant activation of the endothelial cells, which displayed increased expression of adhesion molecules, oxidative stress markers, cytokines and chemokines, all of them associated to the pro-atherogenic profile of these patients. Conclusions 1) Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from AS patients display an altered expression profile of key genes involved in the development of atherosclerosis. 2) That highly inflammatory PBMCs are responsible, at least partially, for the endothelial dysfunction displayed by AS patients.

Leukocyte ROS Measured with Flow Cytometry

According to the literature there is a link between the intensity of exercise and the occurrence of infections and disease. Strength training is physical exercise with the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are unstable molecules that contains oxygen and are formed in the body. Antioxidants are important to prevent chemical damage to the cell components by oxidation. Oxidative stress is defined as a disturbance in the balance between the production of ROS and antioxidant defenses. The apprehension of increased rates of ROS production during exercise is part of a rationale why many athletes ingest antioxidant supplements beyond recommended dose. The aim of this present study was to investigate changes in leukocyte levels of ROS measured with flow cytometry, total antioxidant status (TAS) and catalase before and after a strength training session. Ten men and ten women were recruited to this study. All participants went through a strength training session consisting of nine exercises executed at 80% of 1RM, 6-8 repetitions/3 sets. The labelled samples were analysed within 24h in a flow cytometer. Examining the post-training blood samples, they were all non-significantly changed compared to the pre-training samples. The TAS and the levels of plasma catalase did not change as a result of the training session. The strength training session were not enough to influence the leukocyte production of ROS and the total antioxidant system in trained students. Based on these findings, there is no rationale to advice athletes to ingest antioxidant supplementation in addition to their regular diet.

Comparative Study for MAC Layer using CSMA and TDMA based Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Application

This paper present a comparative study of existing real-time MAC layer protocol for wireless sensor networks. Then, a new real-Time MAC protocol is presented that is based on a general purpose MAC protocol, called B-MAC. While medium access strategy in B-MAC is based on contention and back-off schemes protocol proposed in this paper uses feedback approach as a medium access strategy. As a result of this, we use smaller contention window sizes for nodes with successful packet transmissions and reduce the back-off timers exponentially fast when a fixed number of consecutive idle slots are detected. Proposed protocol works in continuous OFF mode of operation at MAC layer using CSMA Protocol. Finally, a comparative performance analysis of proposed real-time protocol using CSMA is done with other TDMA based real time MAC Protocols for wireless sensor network.
