Planning and Scheduling Construction Projects using Primavera Software A Case...ijtsrd
Planning and Scheduling are very essential in the large infrastructure projects like road and bridge construction. These projects have numerous stakeholders and large amount of money, resources are invested. Improper planning and scheduling leads to loss of resources, increase in project cost and unpleasant delays. But with computer and software evolution, it is now possible to plan these projects using software like Primavera P6 and Microsoft office project. This paper deals with presentation of AwasYojna project in New Market Bhopal comparing the two different blocks namely Block A and Block B. The project framed stated the advantage and added benefits of web based primavera P6 for planning and scheduling of structures under construction under the government scheme of “AwasYojna” framing the issues and complications faced in the time frame of construction and availability of resources.

BioPharma Projects: Essentials in Project ControlsPMA Consultants
Are project controls essential for effective governance and decision making? Learn how wave planning and project controls were used for transferring BioPharma operations. Initiating manufacturing operations in a newly built pharmaceutical facility is a demanding process for any organization. The technology transfer team is responsible for both ensuring that the facilities meet the design requirement as well as successfully transferring all products to the new site. Understanding the costs, benefits, and risks of multiple solutions requires complex modeling. A key component of the growth strategy involves the transfer of specific operations to a new facility, which requires identifying resource limitations, prioritization of needs initially and continuously throughout the dynamic project.

Evaluation of results of all work product reviews
Comparing actual milestone completion dates to scheduled dates
Comparing actual project task start-dates to scheduled start-dates
Informal meeting with practitioners to have them asses subjectively progress to date and future problems
Use earned value analysis to assess progress quantitatively

This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
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.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
