Abstract: Let G be a graph. A subset S of V(G) is a restrained 2-dominating set if every vertex of V(G) \ S is adjacent to at least two vertices of S and every vertex of V(G) \ S is adjacent to at least one vertex in V(G) \ S . The restrained 2 -domination number of G , denoted by ( ) 2 G r , is the smallest cardinality of a restrained 2 -dominating set G . In this paper, we characterize the graphs obtained in the join of two graphs having ( ) = 2,3,4 2 G r . We also characterize restrained 2 -dominating sets in the corona of two graphs and give a formula for computing the restrained 2 -domination number.

Abstract: The present paper is an attempt to analyze the availability of an operating compressor unit working in a milk plant. In a milk plant's refrigeration system compressor plays an important role. Any major failure or annual maintenance brings the operating unit to a complete halt. It has been observed that the unit can fail due to various types of failures which can be categorized as- serviceable type, repairable type and replaceable type. For availability analysis of the unit real failure as well as repair time data from a milk plant have been collected and measures of unit effectiveness i.e. availability and mean time to unit failure has been computed graphically as well as numerically by using semi-Markov process and regenerative point technique.

Abstract: This dissertation deals with the boundary layer flow and heat transfer in a visco-elastic fluid flow a stretching sheet in the presence of radiation. Two different temperature are studied here, (i) PST, that is the sheet with prescribed surface temperature (ii)PHF, that is the sheet with prescribed heat flux. The basic boundary layer equations for momentum and heat transfer which are non-linear parital differential equation is converted into non-linear ordinary differential equation using similarity transformation. The resulting non-linear equation is solved using numerical shooting method for three unknown initial conditions with fourth order Runge-Kutta method. To know the physics of the problem, numerical results are discussed with the help of graphs for various of parameters, such as fluid viscosity parameter, visco-elastic parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, heat source/sink parameter and radiation parameter.

Abstract: In Computer Aided Geometric Design it is often needed to produce a positivity preserving curve according to the given positive data. The main focus of this work is to visualize the positive data in such a way that its display looks smooth and pleasant. A rational quadratic trigonometric spline function with three shape parameters has been developed. In the description of the rational quadratic trigonometric spline interpolant, positivity is preserved everywhere. Constraints are derived for shape parameters to preserve the positivity thorough positive data. The curves scheme under discussion is attained C1 continuity.

Abstract: This article extends the Wilcoxon signed rank test for testing whether the median of a population is a specified constant by treating the observations as imprecise values. The test procedure is developed by using the concepts of "Credibility Theory" for studying the behavior of fuzzy phenomena. Numerical illustration of the proposed test is provided by representing the observations as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.

Abstract: The unsteady, two dimensional, mixed convection flow of an viscous incompressible electrically conducting micropolar fluid over a vertical and impermeable stretching surface in the presence of Heat source/sink and radiation when the buoyancy force assists and opposes the flow has been studied. Using the similarity transformations, the governing equations have been transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations. These differential equations are highly nonlinear which cannot be solved analytically. Therefore, forth order Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique has been used for solving it. Numerical results are obtained for the skin-friction coefficient, the couple wall stress and the local Nusselt number as well as the velocity, microrotation and temperature profiles for different values of the governing parameters, namely, material parameter, unsteadiness parameter, heat source/sink parameter, radiation parameter and Eckert number.

Abstract: The theory of integral transforms is very useful in solving various types of boundary value problems. By giving various values to the kernel k(x; s) and considering the interval (0, 1) generally, a number of integral transforms have been introduced and studied by several authors from time to time. In the present paper we have introduced multidimensional I-function transform involving I-function of r variables as kernel. In our earlier paper we have established the multiple Mellin transform of product of two I-functions. With the help of that result, in the present paper we have discussed some theorems on multidimensional I-function transform. Special cases include the results involving H-function of several complex variables, I-function of two variables and Hfunction of two variables. The special case also includes the results given by V.C.Nair.

Abstract: The psychological distresses are higher in women in sex industry. The confluence of drug use, mental stressors, poverty, sexually transmitted diseases, low self-esteem and high-risk partners forms a fertile ground for psychological morbidity. Prostitution is associated with a host of psychosocial vulnerabilities and disadvantages [1]. Socio-demographic disadvantages like minority, ethnic status, low income, homelessness, low education level are linked with commercial sex workers [2,3]. This study was undertaken to assess the psychiatric morbidity in female commercial sex workers likely to be involved in sexual high risk taking behavior. 30 consecutive female sex workers attending the psychiatric OPD at Victoria hospital were assessed clinically after informed consent and relevant investigation.
Key words: psychological morbidity; female sex workers.
