Precambrian mineralising events in central West Greenland (66°–70°15´N)
Authors: Stendal Henrik , Garde Adam A.
Published: April 2020

During the past decade the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has carried out two major resource evaluations in the Precambrian basement terranes of South and West Greenland in order to locate potential areas of mineral deposits (Steenfelt et al. 2000, 2004; Stendal & Schønwandt 2003; Stendal et al. 2004). Based on geological field work and geochemical and geophysical data, these evaluations have assessed the interplay between the magmatic, tectonic and metamorphic evolution in the study areas and their mineralising events. As a result of the second of these evaluations it is now possible to outline a succession of mineralising events in the northern part of the Nagssugtoqidian orogen and in the Disko Bugt area of central West Greenland (Fig. 1), and relate them to the general Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic geological evolution of this region. However, uncertainties still exist concerning the age and detailed setting of many epigenetic mineralisations.

Published: April 2020

In 2004 the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) initiated a study of the origin and tectono-metamorphic evolution of greenstone belts and important regional structures in the central Godthåbsfjord region, southern West Greenland (Fig. 1; Hollis et al. 2004). Like other Archaean belts worldwide, these greenstone belts are locally host to gold mineralisation. Their complexity requires a combination of detailed geological mapping, geochemistry, petrographic work and geochronological studies to develop models of their geological setting, evolution and gold mineralisation.
Small-scale mining – hazards and opportunities in Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia
Authors: Appel Peter W.U.
Published: April 2020

Small-scale mining is the main source of income for about 100 million people in Asia, Africa and South America. However, the processing of raw materials during this mining activity results in the release of large amounts of mercury to the environment, creating serious environmental problems. Small-scale mining, or artisanal mining, is exploitation using only shovels, picks and hammers, carried out by individuals or small groups. A wide variety of commodities are exploited in this way, ranging from gold, diamonds, precious stones, tin, coal, dimension stones and slate. Small-scale mining is often carried out by labourers with virtually no knowledge of safety procedures. Tunnel cave-ins leading to loss of life are common, and the widespread use of mercury in gold extraction causes many long-term health problems for the miners. It is estimated that about 650 tonnes of mercury are annually released during small-scale mining to the environment, and this figure is likely to increase in the future. Mercury is highly toxic and its use causes health problems not only for the miners, but also to the entire population in areas where small-scale mining takes place. Some miners are aware of the dangers of using mercury, but have no knowledge of recycling procedures. Several international organisations, such as the World Bank, UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation), ILO (International Labour Organisation) and UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), have launched programmes to examine the problems associated with small-scale mining. Progress so far has been slow, and much more international awareness of the global mercury pollution of the environment from smallscale mining is required. The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has worked as consultant to the World Bank on projects involving small-scale mining in Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Laos, and has also undertaken programmes concerning small-scale mining in Lesotho for UNDP and in Tanzania for the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA). This paper reports on some of the initiatives carried out in Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia, to secure and sustain the small-scale mining industry in these regions.

Among the viral infections affecting the liver in pregnancy, Hepatitis C though uncommon now is recognized to be a serious global public health problem affecting 170 million people worldwide I .e. 3% of the population [1]. The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody in pregnant women in developed countries ranges from 0.14 to 4.4%, whereas the seroprevalence in Indian pregnant female population is 1.03% [2,3,4].Following the decreasing transmission of HCV by blood -transfusion, intravenous drug use has now become the primary route of new HCV infections in adults while mother to child transmission (MTCT) is the major route of new infections in young children in the developed as well as in developing countries.[5]Approximately 7–8% of hepatitis C virus-positive women transmit this virus to their offspring [6]mainly because they are ignorant about this infection and unaware of their status. The natural course of hepatitis C is a progression from acute hepatitis to chronic hepatitis, which occurs in 55%-85 % of patients.

Published: April 2020

The tomato crop is affected by a number of pests in the world as well as in China and Pakistan. The whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is considered a very serious and damaging pest of tomato crop along with many other vegetables and field crops. Population buildup of whitefly is affected by many factors, including biotic and a biotic. One of the factors affecting the whitefly population in the tomato crop is green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) infestation before the whitefly attack. This project designed to note the direct and indirect effect of Myzus persicae infestation on the population setup of whitefly in tomato crops. The results revealed that whitefly prefers tomato plants without having aphids on them (choice) and can be settled on the tomato plants also when there are aphids present (no choice). The period after aphid infestation have a negative effect on the whitefly population, and the density of aphids/leaf has also influenced the whitefly population.

Published: April 2020

The article deals with the influence of steel oxidation and features of vacuuming on the processes of formation and distribution of non-metallic inclusions in large ingots and forgings intended for power engineering. It is shown that the distribution of sulfides and oxysulfides across the ingot cross-section is inversely related to each other, due to changes in oxygen and sulfur concentrations during the crystallization of the melt. Under the influence of intensification of degassing process at vacuum casting of ingots at the expense of purging of a jet of metal argon, the formed nonmetallic inclusions had the minimum sizes, more favorable distribution that caused increase in plastic characteristics of the received forgings on the average for 15-20 %

Synthesizing gravity from magnetic monopole backreactions on D(p)-7 Branes (6D Calabi-Yau Manifolds + 1D Complex Singularity) after torus degeneration at the compactified finite end of Calabi-Yau manifolds thereby solving the ‘Hierarchy Problem’ in particle physics
Authors: Bhattacharjee Deep
Published: April 2020

Large extra-dimensions could be really large from microscopic Plank scale to macroscopic millimeter scale. However, the gravity as a whole is capable of going through or in-between dimensions and therefore if gravity has a smallest size beyond which it cannot exert any force between two objects then these dimensions inside which gravity would travel has to be larger than the force distance to swallow the gravity inside them. And this means that however large the dimension is, it must have to be larger than the minimal distance beyond which gravity cannot exert any force. And in string theory dimensions are up to a limit of 11 including 1 time and 10 space dimensions. It has been hypothesized by Gauss’s law of magnetism that magnets can have a monopole and that monopole can originate from a non-compact singularity if a torus degenerates at the finite mouth of a compactified Calabi-Yau manifold. Each of 6 CY manifold id 6-dimensional and I have pictured a generalized form involving one end of the CY manifold extending to infinity as correspond to our normal 4 space-time dimensions. The most important factor is the magnetic monopoles which have been theorized to have existence if a long or infinitely long D-1 Brane can be achieved which here constructed from a microscopic wormhole from that non-compact singularity by the degeneration of the torus. Back-reaction or the recoil of similar charged monopoles is a constructive aspect in this paper as they can provide an indirect or alternative pathway of making an open string closed thereby travelling from 6 small dimensions to 4 large dimensions allowing the essence of the hierarchy principle to be true. This property will reflect by Newton’s third law of opposite reactions and generalizing the ‘Lagrangian’ we could obtain the limit of the harmonic oscillator or the strings as considered here to be very large vibrating objects capable of detaching from the singularity, warped in a circle and leaks through dimensions as it travels. These strings could be considered here as the closed string of mass 0, spin 2 “Graviton”. Now, the gravity generated at the toroidal end of the Calabi-Yau manifold would hop from small higher dimensions of 6D with 1D complex dimensions to 4D large space-time dimensions. And as the ‘graviton’ has to travel between dimensions it gets leaked and becomes 10^24 times weaker than other fundamental forces.

Currently, Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) have evolved as one of the essential next-generation wireless network technologies. MANET comprises of mobile nodes that are self-configurable, and every mobile node behaves as a router for every other node allowing data to move by making use of multi-hop network routes. MANETs signify a networking class that is crucial and differs from conventional systems. Although MANETs are being popularly employed in commercial as well as academic fields, these were primarily designed for deployment in areas like military battlefields, emergency rescue and search operations, and other challenging or hostile environments. The distributed and wireless nature of MANETs paves the way for intruders to reduce MANET functionalities. MANET are susceptible to various attack at different layers since the majority of MANET routing protocols are designed with the assumption that no malicious intruder is present in the network. Therefore, recognizing those threats and finding solutions for their mitigation become essential. This study analyses various security attributes, challenges, attacks on multiple layers and countermeasures for thwarting attacks in MANETs.

Varieties of cutting fluids are available in market to facilitate good machining objectives for metal removing Industries. Eventually, majority of the cutting fluids are synthetic and semi synthetic in nature, despite they are helping to the industries but they are harmful to health of the operators and environment. Though they are having good properties needed for machining, nature of non-biodegradability and non-friendliness to the environment are the key barriers associated with these fluids. Various researches have been carried out to prepare a vegetable based bio degradable effective cutting fluid to nullify above said constraints. In this research work, a unique castor oil based cutting fluid infused with nano molybdenum di sulfide (MoS2) particles has been prepared and its performance during machining has been investigated. In this study, much attention has been applied to achieve the optimized parameters of the biodegradable nano cutting fluid. Taguchi's method equipped with gray relational analysis was utilized by considering the size of the nano particles, nano particle inclusion (npi) and flow rate as the chief fluid parameters. The surface roughness and tool wear were treated as responses. As per L9 orthogonal array, totally nine experiments were conducted. Additionally, the most significant parameter which affects the machining responses was identified with the help of grey grade, ANOVA and MRPI ranking. Confirmation test were carried out followed by prediction of grey grade so as to improve the degree of validation. It has been observed that there was significant improvement in gray grade for the optimal parameters.

Banking area possesses a significant spot in each economy and is one of the quickest developing sectors in India. The challenge is very high and tough from the worldwide player’s i.e. International banks. On the counter part, both public and private banks are also facing strong competition among themselves to reach the targeted audience. But the worrying factor is Non performing assets are also increasing simultaneously with core business. The result is mergers in the banking sector in order to reduce the NPA. The most recent and largest merger in the history of banking industry took place on April 1, 2017 i.e., State bank of India and its associates banks. And, now the govt. of India announces India’s biggest and largest mega banks merger on august 30, 2019, i.e., merging of 10 public sector banks into 4 large banks. These banks are oriental bank of commerce and united bank of India merging with Punjab national bank; Syndicate bank with Canara bank; Andhra bank and corporation bank merging with Union bank of India; and Allahabad bank merging with Indian bank; This merger will bring nearly a half yearly of all outstanding loans in Indian’s banking sector. This big bank merger will be a good move from the central govt. to reach $5 trillion economy in next 5 years. This merger will help to give some boost to the Indian economy, which is suffering with high rate of NPA’S. In this research paper an attempt is made to know the impact of banks performance after merger will really give acceleration to the economic growth rate or not.

The research paper developed a new software metric methodology for evaluating the analyzability indicator for software products. The proposed research methodology provided an objective and quantitative assessment in accordance with the requirements, limitations, purpose and specific features of software products. Forty-one (41) java programs were analyzed to extract and evaluate the software metrics described in ‘Halstead metrics. The mathematical classification model was developed to replace the expert output in the evaluating process as related to the software metric indicators. The output of the algorithm was applied to identify the metrics with the greatest analyzability influence. The result indicated that 13 measured metrics with 98% of “analyzability” are relevant to seven (7) software code metrics with the remaining six (6) metrics making up only ~ 5% of “analyzability”. The analyzed ROC-curves were similarly computed to test the performance of the proposed methodology compared to the expert’s metric evaluation. The ROC-curves indicator for the proposed methodology showed resultant scores of ROC = 7.4 as compared to 7.3 from the experts’ evaluation. However, both methods were correlated effectively after analytical computations with a resultant performance which showed that the proposed method outperforms the expert’s evaluation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging field where physical objects are connected over the network, by the way, to make human life easy and more comfortable. The IoT environment is involved with various devices and those are working together to attain a common goal. The enhanced technology of IoT enables the military environment to work on it. Typically, most of the IoT devices are restricted in terms of their storage, process, compute and network capability. Hence, those devices are easy to attack and compromise. Compromised devices become behave as blackhole attacks. To assure the proper network function, we are in the situation to overcome those types of attacks. As trust plays a vital role in decision making, in this paper we proposed a Multi-attribute Trust-based Authentication mechanism (MTA). The ultimate aim of this model is to ensure authentication among the participating devices by identifying black hole nodes in the network. This multi-attribute trust calculation approach provides a maximum effort to evaluating the trustworthiness of devices. The simulation results show the applicability of the proposed model in terms of various performance metrics.

Brand image is the most deciding factor of the sales of a product and it is so important because it is the collection of views and beliefs linked to a certain brand. The value and character of that particular brand are portrayed through its image and is eventually that mirror in which the key values of the organization is reflected. The objective of this paper is to analyze the influence of customer brand judgment on brand image in the Television industry. A descriptive research design is used for this study. The sample may be drawn from the top three television brands in India such as Sony, Samsung, and LG. The three brands of television users are considered as respondents to collect the data, the total samples are 517. Descriptive statistics, frequency, regression, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data to identify the variance and relationship between independent and dependent variables. It is observed that quality, consideration, and feeling are positively influenced by the brand image. Credibility and superiority are negatively influencing the brand image.

The objective and scope of the project are to record the details and grant leave permission to the students and faculty in an institution in a secured way by eliminating the present system. Usually, leave permission is granted by giving the physical gate pass and this is a time taking process and the paper gate pass can be manipulated very easily. In this project, the paperwork is eliminated and a highly secured electronic version of the paper gate pass is provided in the form of a QR Code. Here in the project, only the administrator or HoD is approving the user with a QR Code, if they want to allow the student to leave the college premises. Appropriate training is provided to the user which suit their specific needs. When a student or a faculty need a leave, they can approach the concerned authorities, the credentials like unique ID, leaves left, etc are checked and then leave is granted in form of a QR Code. This QR Code is scanned by the security guards before allowing a person to leave the campus. The security guards have to be trained with scanning of QR Code which is a simple task. The system is intuitive and user-friendly. It simplifies the task and eliminates the paperwork. This project enables free, secured, fast and easy leave approval.

In this study, the allelopathic effect of Imperata cylindrica has been investigated. Aqueous extracts of Imperata cylindrica were tested at concentrations of 31.25, 62.5, and 125 mg/ml to study different parameters on Cucumis sativus and Lolium perenne. Various factors were studied to determine the inhibition and growth of root and shoot length, percentage germination, and fresh and dry weight. Results indicated that the aqeous extract of Imperata cylindrica contain allelochemicals which may contribute to its invasiveness and extreme competitiveness. The results of this study show that Imperata cylindrica contains allelochemical compounds particularly in root and shoot extracts that might be the potential candidates for future investigations for the development of herbicides based on its secondary metabolites and their allelopathic inhibitory effects. Further research is needed to investigate the allelopathic effect of Imperata cylindrical aqueous extracts under field conditions against the associated weed species and elucidation of the mechanism of inhibition involved

Many discussions and opinions of experts who produce endangement or tools to detect the possibility of fraud in reporting financial performance. One of the most recent trends is the Pentagon fraud approach. Pentagon is a form that has five sides, there are five categories of causes of fraud in pentagon fraud, namely: pressure, opportunity, rationalization, competence and arrogance. Our research takes samples from banks, because the sector is the most common case of fraud. We made this quantitative secondary data-based research to have written evidence for reference in banking sectors. We use cross section data from 2016 year ends up to 2018. We own 35 samples from three years period, the total of 105 samples. We use ordinary least square using nine independent variables and one dependent variable. After conducting this research, we found that opportunity is the most influencing factor for company in banking sector to do fraud. While the others factor has no significant effect.

Image classification is an important task in computer vision involving a large area of applications such as object detection, localization and image segmentation. When it comes to image classification, the most adopted methods are based on deep neural network and especially convolutional Neural Networks(CNN). Selection of hyperparameters plays a crucial role in performance of model and it comes by experience. So, in this paper, we will use the genetic algorithm(GA) to automate and build the CNN model for higher accuracy on GPU which is provided by Google Collaboratory cloud. The best architecture of CNN after several generations of the genetic algorithm is then compared to the state-of-the-art CNN. We have used the malaria cell images dataset to find out whether the person is normal or if they are suffering from malaria. We trained two types of malaria cells, which are uninfected and parasitized on Tesla P100 multi core GPU. We got a high training accuracy of 97% and got a testing accuracy of about 95% on the multicore GPU that boosted the speed of execution of training time period and testing time period.
