Pages: 6 - 10
The discovery through computational modeling and simulation has become the third pillar of science, alongside theory and experimentation. As computational power increases, simulation has gained in importance and has become a major research area, where highly parallel computation is utilized. In this dissertation, we have performed the simulation by selecting a single machine which is involved in manufacturing the highest number of products. Data are collected for all the processes involved in the manufacturing processes and an input modelling analysis is been done for the data collected. After the analysis is completed, a simulation model is constructed using ARENA which involved all the manufacturing process using the simulation tools. With the help of the simulation tools we will be able to identify activities causing the bottlenecks and delays in the entire manufacturing processes. Similarly, this simulation can be carried out for each and every machine of the company so that we can identify the bottlenecks and delays. As a result, the bottlenecks and delays can be reduced and the entire supply chain can be improved. This paper aims at combining supply chain management and simulation – to give an overview of both areas and shows how supply chain management can profit from simulation and also to identify the delays and bottlenecks in the overall manufacturing process. Lastly, a sample of how a supply chain can be optimized, in the simulation development suite ARENA.

Pages: 17 - 21
Business model is a reflection of the firm's realized strategy. The business model is an abstract concept with many facets. It describes the implementation of a business concept and is used for multiple purposes by different users. We find that in simple competitive situation there is a one-to-one mapping between strategy and business models which makes it difficult to separate the two notions. For a start up company it is very important to develop a business model for it growth and acquiring a place in the market. I developed a model known as "PADDY FIELD BUSINESS MODEL" which points out the important areas of a start up company. It includes the organizational structure, investors, resources, product features, market analysis, licensing and pricing, customers and revenue. The model focuses on every aspect from starting of an organization till the generation of revenue and the organization growth as a whole.

Pages: 22 - 28
A safety management system is a systematic and continuous management process based on proactive identification of hazards, and analyses of their risk. Implementing a safety management system is the most efficient way of allocating resources for safety, since it not only improves working conditions, but also positively influences employees' attitudes and behaviors with regards safety, consequently improving the safety climate. A petrochemical plant is a high-risk, high-energy plant with potential risks of fire, explosion and poisoning. To meet the market challenges, chemical plants need to provide safer plant operation. Safety design approach is used to ensure the safety during the design stage, which satisfies the safety during the plant operation. Through this study, in order to achieve the goal, the analysis contents in several sets of hydrogenation unit of HAZOP analysis reports of the petrochemical plant are summarized and accordingly, the intrinsic safety engineering design method for the petrochemical plant is put forward then. This new design method solves a few problems existing in the current HAZOP analysis when considering the design, construction, empirical knowledge, etc. In addition to the previous traditional method, a database is made and managed in-order to guide safety engineering design and realize the intrinsic safety for the plant. The intrinsic safety for the petrochemical plant uses technological measures to eliminate or control risks and to prevent accidents, in-order to avoid damage and losses. Hence the application of this method is easy to identify problems in design in-order to avoid omissions and errors and makes up for the lack of analysis and design experience to improve the design efficiency.

Pages: 29 - 35
The face expression matching follow the same concept used in face recognition system. This system requires various face expressed-images with less variation in illumination and color constancy. In order to overcome the variations in the image, the MSRCR algorithm is used. This algorithm provides good fidelity to the observer and system by eliminating the illumination variations and maintaining the color of the image. The MSRCR enhanced image is given to the face expression recognition system for matching purpose. This system comprises of face detection with skin color segmentation, Gabor filter, PCA and Euclidean Distance as a classifier. The design of the system is implemented in MATLAB GUI. The MSRCR enhanced image provides good recognition rate and therefore can be used as a good enhancement technique. The significance of MSRCR is studied by evaluating and comparing the contrast and luminance performance factor with histogram equalization.

Pages: 36 - 40
MANET stands for Mobile Ad hoc Network. Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks goes under Wireless Networks.. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic topology and self-configuring infrastructure less network in which nodes are associated via a wireless link and they move autonomously in any direction. The nodes link are supposed to change frequently. One of the major challenges of MANET is maintaining link routes information of each node continuously. In this paper, we have proposed a method for route selection in MANETs based on the speed of nodes i.e. considering low speed nodes for the route. Simulation results show that our proposed method provides better performance than IAODV in case of parameters like Overhead, Packet Delivery Ratio and Throughput.

Pages: 47 - 56
The main aim of this study is to look for alternatives to current power generation techniques and look for ways for existing as well as future technologies to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through installation of renewable as well as carbon capture technologies. Power Generation has been an issue of focus not only in developed countries but also in developing countries. Global warming and climate change with rising fossil fuel prices with diminishing reserves in recent years has pushed urge to create clean and reliable energy technologies. This report particularly looks into alternative sources of energy and what technological options are there for current as well as future power generating system. Economically IGCC with carbon capture and nuclear power are the stable, reliable and clean for base load of power generation due to rising gas and unstable oil prices. Countries having reserves of oil and natural gas go with power generating systems based on them though in future these technologies will be modified to be used with Di-Methyl ether or Bio diesel generators. Biomass and Nuclear power have the lowest GHG emissions during operation followed by renewable technologies like solar or wind. Solar thermal systems are gaining momentum with large scale plants being deployed in areas with isolated population. Coal with carbon capture and storage seems to be a viable option right now but with rising carbon prices the technology will be at par with nuclear in terms of cost and life cycle operation. Technologies like Fuel cell and Hydrogen Power are still into development which may or may not be commercialized by 2050. At present for existing fossil based power plants Co-firing of coal with biomass, gas with DME and oil with Bio diesel are seen as immediate alternative technologies to reduce GHG emissions. Short term alternatives to power plants would be introducing Carbon capture and Storage technologies with large offshore wind farms and solar PV panels getting across the map of Europe due to strong government commitment to overcome GHG emissions. The option of nuclear power is back on table for several countries who are trying to reduce their carbon emissions but decommissioning, recycling waste and disposal of radioactive fuel is a matter of great concern.

The nursing home is often a final stage in the living career of older persons, but the question remains whether it is a true home or merely a place where care is provided for the residents. This study investigates the sense of home and its constituent factors among both permanent and temporary residents of nursing homes in The Netherlands. A qualitative research design was chosen for the study, which consisted of in-depth interviews using a topic list that was developed through literature review and a focus group session. Autonomy and safety and security are the basic aspects for a sense of home. These aspects refer to the relationships and actions of nursing home residents and the environment in which people live. The research findings show that developing a sense of home encompasses much more than just being surrounded by personal belongings and having a private room with certain facilities. Subjective components of relationships and (inter)actions are as important as the physical component of living and housing. Only when a right balance is achieved between all factors, a true sense of home, albeit away from the familiar home someone spent most of his/her life, can be developed. Understanding these perspectives and needs can contribute to a better design and retrofitting process of future nursing homes.
