Prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part. In medicine,prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost
through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. Prosthetic amputee rehabilitation
is primarily coordinated by a prosthetist and an inter-disciplinary team of health care
professionals including psychiatrists, surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational
therapists. A person's prosthetics should be designed and assembled according to the
patient's appearance and functional needs.
For instance, a patient may need transradial prosthesis, but need to choose
between an aesthetic functional device, a myoelectric device, a body-powered device,
and an activity specific device. The patient's future goals and economical capabilitiesmay help them choose between one or more devices.
The real challenge in the modern world is not producing information or storing information,
but apt and proper use of information by people. Since volume of information is growing in leaps
and bounds, the information needs of users are becoming more and more diverse and complex. In
this changing context information providers are facing a lot of challenges to capture, process, store
and disseminate the available information for actual users. The user studies provide a clear
understanding of the actual information needs of the user in order to readjust the existing
information systems or chose new ones. Various models of information needs and informationseeking behaviour have been discussed. Each modelrepresents a different but an overlapping or
similar approach to information seeking behavior of users. In order to satisfy the information need,the user actively undergoes the information seeking processes. Some factors like physiological,emotional, learning and demographic, etc. also deeply influence information seeking behaviour i.e.
some people have to face some obstacles. These barriers may be economic, social, environmental,
time related or geographical.Effectiveness of a professional depends upon dissemination and use of right information at
right time. Information and communication technologies have changed the way in which thelibraries provide their services. Users study provide deeperunderstanding of access to their
collections and services .The need and behavior of their users and satisfaction ratio of users are
new assessment techniques of libraries. Therefore an effort has been made to how determineinformation need and information seeking behavior of users.

A REVIEW ON LOAD BALANCING IN CLOUD USING ENHANCED GENETIC ALGORITHM IAEME Publication
“Cloud computing” is a term, which involves virtualization, distributed
computing, networking, software and net services. A cloudconsists of several partssuch as shoppers, datacenter and distributed servers. It includes fault tolerance, high
availability, scalability, flexibility, reduced overhead for users, reduced cost of
possession, on demand services etc. Central to these issues lies the institution of a
good load reconciliation algorithmic rule. The load can be CPU load, memory
capacity, delay or network load. Load balancing is the method of distributing the load
among varied nodes of a distributed system to boost each resource utilization and job
interval whereas additionally avoiding a state of affairs wherever a number of the
nodes area unit heavily loaded whereas different nodes area unit idle or doing little
work. Load balancing ensures that all the processors within the system or each node
within the network will require the equal quantity of labor at any instant of your time.
This technique will be sender initiated, receiver initiated or symmetric sort
(combination of sender initiated and receiver initiated types). Our objective is to
develop an effective load reconciliation algorithmic rule mistreatment divisible load
programming theorem to maximize or minimize completely different performance
parameters (throughput, latency for example) for the clouds of different sizes (virtualtopology de-pending on the appliance requirement).
Ancient Gurus in ancient Gurukulas used to impart knowledge to their pupils through oralteaching. The Gurus themselves were treasure troves of knowledge, without the need to refer to

NOMENCLATURE CHANGE FOR LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE (LIS) SCHOOLS IN NIGE...IAEME Publication
This paper provides a synopsis of the evolutionary changes in the nomenclature of Library andInformation Science (LIS) programme in different countries and makes a case for LIS Schools in
Nigeria to adopt Information and Knowledge Management (IKM) as their new name in line with
current trends. It highlights the specific factors which make this transformation of LIS to IKM
imperative. Various institutions that changed the nomenclature of their LIS programme and thosethat prefer IKM were listed. The scope and content of an IKMprogramme were outlined. In
addition, the implications of IKM for interdisciplinary research and emerging opportunities in the
21st century were discussed. Finally, a proposal was made for a bachelor degree programme inpublishing and multimedia studies/technology, which is highly entrepreneurial in nature. The push
for other information-related disciplines was used to justify the argument for a distinct faculty forthese courses in the Nigerian tertiary education sector. This has implications for the change to IKM
as it underlines the strategic importance of thisrebrandeddiscipline in the educational systems ofthe knowledge economy.
GENERIC CODE CLONING METHOD FOR DETECTION OF CLONE CODE IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IAEME Publication

BROAD UNEXPOSED SKILLS OF TRANSGENDER ENTREPRENEURSIAEME Publication
Since ages gender difference is always a debatable theme whether caused by nature, evolution or environment. The birth of a transgender is dreadful not only for the child but also for their parents. The pain of living in the wrong physique and treated as second class victimized citizen is outrageous and fully harboured with vicious baseless negative scruples. For so long, social exclusion had perpetuated inequality and deprivation experiencing ingrained malign stigma and besieged victims of crime or violence across their life spans. They are pushed into the murky way of life with a source of eternal disgust, bereft sexual potency and perennial fear. Although they are highly visible but very little is known about them. The common public needs to comprehend the ravaged arrogance on these insensitive souls and assist in integrating them into the mainstream by offering equal opportunity, treat with humanity and respect their dignity. Entrepreneurship in the current age is endorsing the gender fairness movement. Unstable careers and economic inadequacy had inclined one of the gender variant people called Transgender to become entrepreneurs. These tiny budding entrepreneurs resulted in economic transition by means of employment, free from the clutches of stereotype jobs, raised standard of living and handful of financial empowerment. Besides all these inhibitions, they were able to witness a platform for skill set development that ignited them to enter into entrepreneurial domain. This paper epitomizes skill sets involved in trans-entrepreneurs of Thoothukudi Municipal Corporation of Tamil Nadu State and is a groundbreaking determination to sightsee various skills incorporated and the impact on entrepreneurship.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.
A STUDY ON TALENT MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN SELECTED...IAEME Publication
The goal of this study was to see how talent management affected employee retention in the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The fundamental issue was the difficulty to attract, hire, and retain talented personnel who perform well and the gap between supply and demand of talent acquisition and retaining them within the firms. The study's main goals were to determine the impact of talent management on employee retention in IT companies in Chennai, investigate talent management strategies that IT companies could use to improve talent acquisition, performance management, career planning and formulate retention strategies that the IT firms could use. The respondents were given a structured close-ended questionnaire with the 5 Point Likert Scale as part of the study's quantitative research design. The target population consisted of 289 IT professionals. The questionnaires were distributed and collected by the researcher directly. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to collect and analyse the questionnaire responses. Hypotheses that were formulated for the various areas of the study were tested using a variety of statistical tests. The key findings of the study suggested that talent management had an impact on employee retention. The studies also found that there is a clear link between the implementation of talent management and retention measures. Management should provide enough training and development for employees, clarify job responsibilities, provide adequate remuneration packages, and recognise employees for exceptional performance.
ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated. The effect of EI and TM along with regression analysis between TM and EI was analyzed. The outcomes indicated that employee and Organizational Performance (OP) were elevated by effective EI along with TM.
INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE A STUD...IAEME Publication
By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL RELATION OF NYLON/BaSO4 POL...IAEME Publication
An experiment conducted in this study found that BaSO4 changed Nylon 6's mechanical properties. By changing the weight ratios, BaSO4 was used to make Nylon 6. This Researcher looked into how hard Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites are and how well they wear. Experiments were done based on Taguchi design L9. Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites can be tested for their hardness number using a Rockwell hardness testing apparatus. On Nylon/BaSO4, the wear behavior was measured by a wear monitor, pinon-disc friction by varying reinforcement, sliding speed, and sliding distance, and the microstructure of the crack surfaces was observed by SEM. This study provides significant contributions to ultimate strength by increasing BaSO4 content up to 16% in the composites, and sliding speed contributes 72.45% to the wear rate
ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Credibility, Point of view, etc. (Susser,B 2006)[3]
. But a different kind of evaluation is possible by
analyzing the content of the website, to find out how each website enables its users to fetch the expected
items from these sites (Ya-Ting C. Yang, Chia Ying Chan 2008)[4]
The free websites supporting the study of English literature on the World Wide Web is very large in
number. Hence the study has been confined to those websites supporting the learning of Shakespeare. The
websites short-listed for study is analysed thoroughly to find out to what extent they support university and
college level learning
1.2. Why Shakespeare?
Shakespeare has stood the test of time. He can never be outdated. Though his works have been limited to a
few syllabi these days, they are still very much contemporary. The greatest evidence is that browsing
through the available free websites; it was found that there are several websites hosted with the complete
works of Shakespeare. They contain 38 plays in all written by Shakespeare plus the sonnets and poems.
1.3. Website Content Structure
The plays are categorised into Tragedies, Comedies, Tragicomedies, Comitragedies etc. Another kind of
categorization is Roman Plays, Historical Plays etc. The plays are also categorized as per the year of its
composition. Along with this the four long poems and the 154 sonnets are dealt with, in detail.
Above all this, learners of Shakespeare look out for certain other information associated with the play
and the further learning of the play.
Though Shakespeare is said to have written in Modern English (English from 15th
Century onwards is
called Modern English), the learners of the modern era find it difficult to understand the rich poetic
language of Shakespeare. Hence with paraphrasing provided parallel, the learners find it more useful.
1.4. Objectives
• To find out whether the websites cater to the syllabus of the English teaching institutions under study.
• To what extend these websites are tailored to support the English Literature students, in studying
Shakespeare.
• To find out what improvements can be brought out on these websites, so that they become more fulfilling.

Post-Graduate and Under-Graduate level were first opted. Their detailed syllabus was perused and that part
catering to the study of Shakespeare was identified. The total number of Plays, Sonnets and Poems
tabulated. The Websites taken up for evaluation is studied in detail, and the various attributes provided by
each website, to support the study of Shakespeare is tabulated. A sixteen point scale with the various
attributes of these free websites, in connection with Shakespeare learning, which is usually made use of by
the English Literature students is devised. Of the various websites available on the internet, the stipulated
five websites were shortlisted, on the basis of student-familiarity with these websites. The researcher, who

institutions taken up for study. It satisfies 68.75 % of the requirement of the syllabus prescribed for study.
Of the sixteen point scale this website scores 11 points. The second in position is
websitewww.playshakespeare.com (62.5%). What makes it retract to the second position is that, when
compared to www.bardweb.com it does not provide attributes like ‘criticism’ and ’reading list’. Websites
www.william shakespeare.info, www.shakespeare.mit.edu.and www.opensourceshakespeare takes the 3rd
,
4th
, and 5th
positions respectively. The percentage value of the other websites are 50%, 37.5%,31.25% .
From the above study made it can be concluded that, for studying Shakespeare, all the 5 wesites
pertaining to Shakespeare can be made use of, but the recommended one would be www.bard.com to be
followed by www.playshakespeare.com.
7. SUGGESTIONS
Websites www.william shakespeare.info, www.shakespeare.mit.edu. and www.opensourceshakespeare
can be improved by incorporating synopsis, characters, scenes/acts, folios, reviews, source materials, study
guide, reading list etc. In comparison to the other websites www.opensource Shakespeare caters least to the
learning of Shakespeare literature. It does not comply to many of the features extended by other websites
under study. The website can cater better if the features are altered accordingly.
