Abstract: S-glass fibres are widely used in defence applications due to its ultimate physical properties including high tensile, compressive strengths, high temperature resistance, and improved impact resistance. This paper discusses thetensile and low velocity impact behaviour of Carbon/S-Glass reinforced polymer matrix hybrid compositelaminatesfabricated via compression moulding process.Compression or open moulding is one of the commercial polymer composite fabrication method which is well known for its low cost and ease of accessibility. As per the ASTM standard, the tensile and impact tests were carried out, in order to evaluate the influencing parameters on the mechanical behaviour of composite laminates. The tensile and impact strengths of the thermoplastic composite laminate....

Abstract: Fly-ash is fine particles that are extracted from the burning of coal in electric generation power plant in thousands of tons each year. The HDPE material is compounded with different concentration of Fly-ash to form composite material. The TSE (Twin Screw extruder) is used for compounding the material and the test specimen is prepared by injection molding machine to study the physical and other properties. Mechanical property (such as, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, hardness), Electrical property (such as, di-electric strength ,volume & surface resistivity) & Rheological property (such as, melt flow index) is discussed. These results are investigated with different composition of Fly-ash filled with HDPE and other plastics materials. The variation in the physical and other properties is observed.

Abstract: The individual performance is critical to the execution of institutional strategy and the achievement of strategic objectives of organizations. Institutions tend to put more focus on the formulation of strategies rather than on the strategy implementation, which requires good performance by all employees in the institution. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Performance Management Systems (PMSs) are too generic, which have several challenges, and have resulted to concerns regarding being effective and objective by employees of some organizations. This study developed a Task-based PMS model to address the gaps identified in the current PMSs. This was achieved by review of existing performance measurement models; survey of employee's perception on the current PMS and model design for Employee Task-based PMS. Analysis of the survey revealed that 71% of respondents do not.....

Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc networks have been used in various applications. Its attractive features are its decentralized nature and less infrastructure need. Wifi-direct can be used in mobile adhoc network which is a Wi-Fi standard enabling devices to easily connect with each other without requiring a wireless access point.[1] Assurance of road safety using new technology of Ad hoc mobile network is a developing research topic all over the world. In this paper, Wifi-direct Ad hoc network is used to ensure road safety .One key feature of Wi-Fi Direct is the ability to connect devices even if they are from separate manufacturers. Only one of the Wi-Fi devices needs to be compliant with Wi-.....

Abstract: India and Nigeria had a common history of British imperial conquest and domination, despite coming from different continents. India pulled down the Union Jack on 15th August 1947 after a protracted struggle with British imperialists. And Nigeria gained self-rule on 1st October 1960 through dialogue and many constitutional conferences. At the height of the Cold War India and Nigeria belong to the Non Alliance club of State as well as an association of British and her former colonial territories called Commonwealth. The two states officially tied the diplomatic knot in 1958 which gave rise to a series of multifaceted intercourse. Nigeria-India relations have been cordial and characterised by cooperation at international fora and at bi-lateral levels. Indian Direct Foreign Investment in Nigeria runs billions, with a huge 35,000 Indian population in Nigeria. Hundreds of thousands of Nigerian crossed over to India for Medical tourism yearly, making it another phenomenon in the relationship between the two
