We empirically examine fund managers’ stock selection and market timing ability using various risk-adjusted measures such as CAPM and multifactor models of Fama-French (1993) and Carhart (1997) to gauge mutual fund performance in India. The sample consists of 183 actively managed equity-oriented funds and covers the period from April 2000 to March 2018. The study, on the whole, documents some evidence of positive and significant stock selection ability but fails to yield any notable evidence of market timing ability of fund managers. Our results are robust according to various risk-adjusted performance evaluation techniques, sub-period analysis, excluding the crisis period and at the individual fund level. The findings of our study are in line with the previous studies that report limited selectivity skill and market timing ability among fund managers. The main implication of the study is that active portfolio management may not be very rewarding in comparison to a passive investment strategy.

DANETs, when compared to MANETs, have high network density and mobility over time. To maintain a secure communication over DANET, requires the knowledge of mobility and complex key management scheme based on the topology change. Operation of DANETs can be categorized into two types based on the activity: 1. Activities requiring small key length 2. Activities requiring large key length. For disaster detection and emergency rescues, key length with reduced size (partial authentication mechanism) is preferable, whereas military operation or critical data sharing needs larger key size (complete authentication mechanism). The challenges for key management in DANETs include the identification of which routing information to be trusted, legitimate nodes with the key for conducting safety communication. Maintaining existing key management schemes over network density change leads to a complex routing and data handling methods.. In this paper we propose a novel approach of homomorphic encryption scheme for data communication security by combining network protocol steganographic security management scheme which reduces the critical information leakage in DANETs. The proposed algorithm helps to identify the distributed denial of service attack and identification of malicious nodes. The malicious activities in a group are identified by analysis of link failures, retransmission information encoded over application layers. In order to assure reliability, encoded data is used as a means to monitor, detect and remove malicious nodes from routing table. We conduct simulation experiments by using network simulator 3.26, Open street Map to verify that our method achieves significant improvement in preventing critical data leakage in presence of malicious nodes.

Shoulder surfing is a kind of technique applied to sneak the personal data like passwords and some confidential data of the user. For this type of attacks there is no need of any kind of technical knowledge but just a keen observation towards the user performance is necessary. However, secret gadgets made these shoulder surfing easy for the attackers like cc cams. To overcome these attacks some authentication schemes are proposed- Illusion pin that works on digital display. It applies the method of hybrid pictures with 2 keypads blended one keypad with another, it is designed by using the human visibility and quotes the least distance at which an attacker is incapable to understand the buttons. We developed an innovative shuffling algorithm for shuffling the keys for every single pin entry. Using this Shuffling algorithm, we create a new pattern of the keypad for every exclusive entry of the pin. Through this technique the attacker is unable to track the pin even if he remembers the spatial arrangement of the digits in a keypad. To provide more security we are adding one-time password generating (OTP) technique.

For the indigenous minorities of the far North, venison is the main environmentally safe food product. The study was aimed at determining the chemical composition, the weight, and the content of macro- and microelements in the subproducts of domesticated reindeer in Yakutia for further production of composite and functional food products, following the current ecological situation in the region. The subproducts of domesticated reindeer of the Chukchi and Evenki breeds are distinguished by the weight of the liver, the kidneys, the stomach, and the intestines; with that, the weight of subproducts in males was higher than in females. The comparatively high relative weight of internal organs in the reindeer of the Chukchi breed is associated with the better development of viability in the adverse conditions of the tundra habitat. Differences are observed within the content of nutrients in the subproducts in various age groups (females, males, and calves); this difference in the content of protein and fat is associated with the age-related feeding habits and the accumulation of nutrients in the organism of the deer. For instance, calves in this period feed on mother's milk; besides, the growing organism of a calf accumulates additional nutrients. The heart and the spleen of calves contain more macroelements (Ca, P, Mg, K, Na, and Cl) than those of male and female deer, while the kidneys, on the contrary, contain less macroelements. The content of microelements (Se, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and F) in the heart and the spleen of calves is higher, and in the liver and the kidneys, it is lower.

The maintenance of power balance condition is one of the key issues to be addressed by the power engineers with day to day increase in the demand for electrical energy, keeping environmental and economical aspects in consideration. CO2 emitted out to atmosphere from the power plants utilizing fossil fuels causes major environmental pollution. Hence incorporation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the need of the hour even though it increase the capital cost. Therefore a decision is to be made by the investing companies either to construct conventional power plants incorporating CCS or to go for non conventional energy sources that are environment friendly. This can be represented mathematically as a Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) problem. Energy Storage System (ESSs) helps in improving the reliability of the system satisfying the economic aspects as well. Also the use of Renewable Energy Technologies (RET) can meet this objective. In view of the complications and complexities involved in the GEP incorporating renewable energy sources with or without storage facility, the Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) also plays a significant role in the electric power system expansion planning. This manuscript gives a comprehensive review corresponding to power system expansion planning including GEP, TEP and RETs to cope up with the crisis for electrical energy demand satisfying reliability criterion and the application of different optimization methods employed in solving the objective function.

This paper presents brief record on a keen Radio Link Framework (RLF). ARAs can put nulls toward interferers through adaptable system of load connected to every radio terminal component. ARAs in this way counterbalance the majority of the co-direct obstruction bringing about better cover of cells and lower dropped calls. The paper further clarifies about the radiation scenario of the receiving end and why it is exceptionally favored in its relative field. The capacities of acute/adaptable reception system are effectively employable to Cognitive Radio and OFDMA framework.

During the last few years, the medical information of concerned patient is transferred from one doctor to another doctor via internet for better diagnosis and studies. Transferring medical information over a transmission medium is known as telemedicine. Telemedicine has been used to overcome distance barriers and to improve access to medical service. The telemedicine application includes emergency treatment, home monitor, military applications, and medical education. These medical images are corrupted by hackers when it is transferred through internet. Hence security of medical images is necessary. Watermarking is used for providing security while transferring medical images. Reversible Data Hiding (RDH) is one of the efficient methods for secure transmission of medical images. In this method, data hiding capacity is very small and the distortion level of recovers images is very large. To avoid these drawbacks, Nearest Neighborhood Pixel Prediction (NNP2) algorithm based on Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) is proposed and Rhombus Prediction is applied in NNP2 to increase data hiding capacity. The distortion level is reduced by Histogram Shifting. The performance of proposed method is evaluated using PSNR for number of medical images. The results shows that the proposed method gives good results when compared with traditional methods.

In the recent years, due to environmental awareness of general public, researchers and scientists directed towards the use of natural fibers reinforced composites as environmentally friendly. Now a days, many scientists, researchers and engineers have explored the extraction, properties and utilization of natural fibers as economically and effectively as possible to produce good quality natural fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. Many scientists and researchers proved that increase in fiber loading resulted in increased mechanical properties of the composite material. This will be the basis to develop and to evaluate properties of natural fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. In this research, Kenaf long fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites were successfully fabricated by simple and cost effective hand layup technique and their mechanical properties such as tensile strength, bending strength, impact strength, hardness with different fiber loading were successfully investigated. Water absorption capacity was also reported. The fibers are treated with NaoH solution for surface modification and to improve mechanical properties. The specimens are prepared according to ASTM standard and experiments were carried out.

Silos usually work as storage structures between offer and demand for varied product, and their structural safety has long been of interest to the engineering profession due to seismic effect. This is especially true for dynamically loaded silos, e.g., just in case of seismic excitation. Significantly thin-walled cylindrical silos are extremely susceptible to seismic Iatrogenic pressures which might cause essential buckling phenomena of the silo shell. The analysis of silos may be administered in two, alternative ways. Within the initial, self-Wight, the seismic loading is sculpturesque through statically equivalent loads acting on the shell. As an alternative, a time history analysis could be administered, during which nonlinear phenomena because of the filling as well because the interaction between the shells, and therefore, the granular material is taken under consideration. The paper presents a comparison of an analytical design of steel and concrete comparison. Do all different types of loads which is action on the steel and concrete silo those approaches. The model used for the nonlinear time history analysis considers the granular material by suggests that of thinker granular strain approach for hypoplasticity theory. The interaction effects between the two types of Reaction and the cost comparison of the silos.

Growing needs and heavy consumption of non-renewable energy sources led to the growth of the solar power system across the world. But, this mechanism couldn’t be absorbed by struggling economies as it was expected. Despite the regular and sustainable supply of electricity people across the developing countries were found reluctant to adopt solar technology to meet their daily energy requirements. This paper would explore the ‘emergence & trends of domestic solar power generation system, challenges for RTS technology across Indian Households, discussion on sustainability & reliability of solar power system in developing countries, review consumers’ behavior towards use of solar power system and Identify the Incentives and Subsidies attached with domestic RTS in developing countries’. The study observed a positive perception of people towards domestic RTS and willing to adopt it if potential limitations would be removed. Negative behavior is derived from technical as well as economic limitations of this technology. The overall growth is quite impressive and shows a bright and progressive future ahead.
