This paper envelops the notion of yogic breathing and its applications as one of the techniques for stress management through regulation of skin conductivity among Indian engineering students. Stress ...perturbs the normal physiological or psychological functioning of an individual. Thus, it is extremely vital to manage stress.
To explore the consequence of yogic breathing on skin conductivity using galvanic skin response sensor meter (GSRSM) on engineering students, of different universities.
The study uses stratified random sampling technique for the experimental study undertaken to measure skin conductivity. 471 Engineering students, in the age group of 18-22 years who gave informed written consent were screened, of which 71 (15%) dropped out and 400 students (84.9%) completed the study. The GSRSM was used to record skin conductivity (pre and post) among experimental (n = 200) and Control group (n = 200) each comprising of 52 females (26%) and 148 males (74%). The Experimental group underwent yogic breathing whereas the Control group did not do so.
The experimental group reported reduction in mean value in skin conductivity after deep breathing for the time period (t = 300 sec) as compared to the control group, and this was significant (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05).
It is recommended that, this uncomplicated and yet extremely effectual ancient technique of yogic breathing could be included in core curriculum to reduce and manage stress among engineering students. The paper thus highlights the use of yogic technique as an effective mode for Stress Management amongst Indian Engineering students.
In today’s global competitive manufacturing environment for survival of any firm it is necessary to provide quality goods to its customers at competitive prices. It is possible only if the firm is ...running at its highest level of productivity. That is why the firms are focused on productivity improvement tasks. The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a key tool to improve productivity exercising its various pillars. Whole hearted implementation of training and development pillar of Total Productive Maintenance is of utmost importance in improving skills of the operators and other employee of the company. Measuring performance is vital for its improvement. The objective of this paper is to identify the performance measurement metrics to measure and verify effect of the pillar. A conceptual framework has also been presented that outlines the selection and effective application of performance measurement metrics aligning manufacturing performance and maintenance objective through effective training and skill development.
Metallic foam has the unique characteristics and its development cerate wide application in the automotive industry, aerospace industry and biomedical implant. It has high porosity, low relative ...density, high strength, low thermal conductivity, and high absorbing energy capacity. Absorbing energy capacity has become big attraction for vehicle designer. Automotive industry tries to minimise crash of vehicle during collision. Today environment issue is measure issue for us, so to reduce pollutant gases which are released from the vehicle. Vehicle weight must be less by which consumption of fuel will less and simultaneously efficiency will increase. To tackle the environment issue electric vehicle are coming, for manufacturing the electric vehicle, lightest and strongest material are being required. Metallic foam material consists of all these characteristics. In this paper we have studied the application of metallic foam material in various vehicle structure or automobile and which material has been used in manufacturing of vehicle structure.
This paper introduces the concept of Deep Breathing and its applications as one of the means towards stress management through regulation of blood pressure among Indian College Engineering students. ...The underlying concept of deep breathing is that the relation between emotions and breathing is two way, i.e. not only do emotions affect the breathing, but controlled deep breathing also has an effect on emotions.
The objective of the paper is to find out whether deep breathing technique is able to control blood pressure, and in turn, the level of stress.
Sample students had a selection through initial screening and the students who reported high mental stress during interview were selected for the main drills. All the readings are taken using a sphygmomanometer (digital blood pressure meter). Students' t test are used for the purpose of hypothesis testing.
The results indicated that the deep breathing technique provided significant results.
It is recommended that this amazingly simple and yet highly effective ancient technique of deep breathing become part of students' routine curriculum. The paper aims at spreading the awareness of this yogic technique as one of the modes of Stress Management amongst Indian college students.
Recent discussions among HR practitioners in higher education have focused on Human Capital management; specifically, the concept of developing a college or university Human Capital management ...approach balanced between planning and action. Human Capital management as a planning tool looks very similar to workforce planning, but where HR will experience a real opportunity for contribution to the organization is in the quality of implementation supporting the plan. This paper emphasizes strategic human resource initiatives that can help realize an institution's Human Capital goals and contribute to performance that will build future institutional capacity. In this paper the author has tried to carve out the strategies to attract and retain the best Human Capital of the organization. With this paper the author has also tried to establish the relation between the Human Capital management and other factors working in the organization. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
EN 8 belongs to BS 970 standard and is an unalloyed medium carbon steel used for where some better then normal mild steel which is having carbon ranges from 0.3 to 0.6%. The surface roughness of die ...while machining on EDM machine depends upon the working parameters of the machine. These working parameters will give fine, super fine and coarse roughness surface on the work piece. The main methodology consists of gauging of these parameters and analyzing the surface roughness. For this the experiment has conducted on EDM machine and the surface roughness will be measured and analyzed. Concept of single variable at a time approach at a time will be used to find out the effect of input parameters on the Surface Roughness. A series of experiments would be conducted to study the effects of various machining parameters of EDM. In each experiment, one input variable would be varied while keeping all other input parameter at fixed value. Studies will be undertaken to observe the effect of selected parameters viz; discharge current, T-ON pulse on time, T-OFF pulse off time, wire feed, servo voltage, MRR and Surface Roughness.

The hypoxic patient with a normal chest X-ray can be a diagnostic challenge. This case illustrates the rational diagnostic process and describes a relatively rare but important complication of cancer ...metastasis. Thrombotic microangiopathy, like lymphangitis carcinomatosa, may cause respiratory failure and is a poor prognostic finding. However, unlike lymphangitis carcinomatosa, it may not have specific findings on cross-sectional imaging.
