Looking at why India desperately needs road safety management programs. What is the role of the Government in this? What are the cities initiatives? Looking at corporate houses, NGOs and how these bodies work together and share the responsibility of organizing road safety management.
This document discusses the subtexts and inferred meanings in four classic horror films: The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, and Poltergeist. The Exorcist explores themes of women's rights and the pressures on single mothers. Texas Chainsaw Massacre references the Vietnam War and class divisions in America. Dawn of the Dead comments on rampant consumerism. Poltergeist warns about conformity and suburban life. Battle Royale and 28 Days Later also include subtexts around today's youth and environmental issues, respectively.
This document discusses the history and development of electronic engineering. It traces the field back to Thomas Edison's discovery of the thermionic phenomenon in 1884, which led to the development of the first electronic valve. Important early developments include Nikola Tesla demonstrating radio communication in 1893 and Edwin Armstrong developing the regenerative circuit and superheterodyne receiver in 1912. The invention of the triode by Lee de Forest in 1907 provided the basis for modern electronics by allowing control of electric currents. The development of the transistor by William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain at Bell Labs in 1947 revolutionized electronics by replacing valves. The document outlines some of the areas and industries that electronic engineers work in, such as telecommunications

Shenzhen started as a fishing village but rapidly urbanized following its designation as a Special Economic Zone in 1980. It has since undergone three phases of development:
1) Archi Citta (pre-1960s): Scattered farming villages along the river.
2) Cine Citta (1980s): Residential areas emerged to house migrant workers and small industries.
3) Tele Citta (1990s-present): Widespread high-rise construction led to densification and skyline domination of tall buildings. Rapid growth has created social conflicts around use of public space and integration of rural and urban populations.
Ravi Shanker Patel has over 7 years of experience in accounts payable, invoice processing, and reconciliation. He currently works as a Senior Analyst at UPS Logistics, where he is responsible for PO and non-PO creation, invoice processing and payments, expense reporting, and resolving vendor queries. Previously, he worked at Gallagher Operations Support Services as a Process Associate, where he performed accounts payable activities including prepayments, accruals, debit/credit notes, and internal audits. Patel holds an MBA in Finance from Indira Institute of Management in Pune.
Rene Hougaard is a Danish designer who received an architecture degree in 2003 and has since worked as both an architect and furniture designer. He was self-employed from 2003-2008 under the name "DNMARK" and has designed some of the most successful chairs for companies like BoConcept and Fredericia Furniture. His designs often make innovative use of plastic materials.
The document discusses the major public health problems faced in Mumbai, India. It outlines that rapid urbanization has led to overcrowding and the rise of slums with poor access to infrastructure. This has caused issues like water pollution, air pollution, and the spread of diseases. The top diseases in Mumbai are malaria, dengue, diarrhea, typhoid, hypertension, tuberculosis, diabetes, hepatitis, and HIV. The government and NGOs are working to improve healthcare access and infrastructure like waste management, but they are overwhelmed by the scale of Mumbai's population growth and associated health issues. Proper urban planning and architecture could help mitigate some of the environmental factors driving disease.
This document discusses truck tire rolling resistance, fuel economy, and safety. It finds that 57% of tire energy loss occurs on the trailer when fully loaded. Under-inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by 1% per 10% under-inflation. For winter driving, tires need adequate tread and a rubber compound suitable for winter conditions. The document recommends new tires with good grip on the 2nd and 5th trailer axles to improve stability, with other axles using lower rolling resistance tires. Retreaded tires can be used on some trailer axles depending on use. Simulations found new tires on the 2nd and 5th axles most reduced trailer movements during lane changes.
IBM has transformed from focusing on technology like mainframes in the 1960s to providing IT solutions and customization today. Key transitions include launching the IBM PC in the 1980s, reorganizing into a client-centered model in the 1990s, and acquiring businesses to expand offerings in the 2000s. Continuous leadership and an innovative culture have helped IBM adapt to changes in the external environment through both episodic and continuous organizational changes. This has allowed IBM to remain a leader in its field over several decades.
The document discusses rolling resistance in tires. It covers:
1. The introduction defines the functions of pneumatic tires and the forces acting on tires during driving, braking, and turning.
2. Rolling resistance is caused by tire deformation at the tire-road interface. It depends on factors like tire inflation pressure and normal load.
3. Rolling resistance increases linearly with normal force and speed. It reduces fuel efficiency and power at higher speeds.
This document describes an Android application for suburban railway ticketing using GPS. The application allows users to purchase tickets on their smartphones using a QR code, which is validated using the phone's GPS location. When the user reaches their destination, the ticket is automatically deleted from the cloud database. The system architecture has six modules: a GUI, location manager, ticket logic, QR code generator, QR code detector, and ticket checker. The ticket checker scans QR codes using an app and validates tickets in the cloud database. Implementing this system would allow contactless ticketing on smartphones and automatic ticket validation based on GPS location.
