ERP Modules for Industry-Institute Interaction, Training and Placement, and Alumni Management

Industry-institute interaction, training, and placement are very important aspects to be considered while designing any system to improve the methodologies for the education sector. This chapter deals with the different modules related to industry institute management, training and placement, alumni database, and management to be covered while designing an erp system for improving these most important areas for any academic institution. Some of the modules to be covered in industry-institute management are as follows: database of industries, industrial visits for enhancing knowledge of students as well as faculty, regular lectures from speakers from industry, providing technical training to staff from industry by means of workshop/seminar/small term courses, and providing technical/consultancy services to industry. Some of the modules to be covered in training and placement management are as follows: database of industries, vocational training to students for enhancing their knowledge, database of students and their academic performance, arrangement of programmes for soft skill development, guidance to students for written exam, group discussions, and personal interviews. Some of the modules to be covered in alumni management are as follows: database of alumni, networking of alumni, interaction with alumni for different issues like industrial visits, placement, guest lectures, institutional developments, et cetera.

Interannual Sea-Ice Variations and Sea-Ice/Atmosphere Interations in the Southern Ocean, 1973–1975

Examination of satellite-derived 1973–75 sea-ice concentrations for the Southern Ocean and comparison with 1 000 mbar temperatures and sea-level pressures reveal considerable Interannual variability in both the ice and atmospheric fields plus strong suggestions of ice/atmosphere interconnections. The mean position of the ice edge undergoes a strong yearly cycle that lags the cycle of the zonally-averaged temperatures by about one month, but the mean ice edge does not contain small-term fluctuations or interannual variability to the same extent as either the temperature or the pressure. Regionally, the ice varies much more noticeably from year-to-year, with the interannual contrasts showing strong spatial dependence in all months and strong spatial coherence in winter. These are illustrated by selected maps of monthly differences in ice concentrations between 1973 and 1974 and between 1974 and 1975. It is shown that the interannual ice differences can, in many cases, be attributed to the Interannual differences in the positioning and intensity of cyclonic and anticyclonic systems.

Meetings of Standing Committees, May 3rd to May 10th, 1922

Prof. Cerulli communicated a note by Prof. Angelitti, in which he enquired whether a modification of the law of gravitation,e.g.,the addition of a small term u/r3, would not account for the motion of the perihelion of Mercury. Sir Frank Dyson replied that the introduction of such a term would introduce other anomalies in the planetary system, and particularly in the motion of the Moon’s apse.Prof. Armellini considered that, as the deflection of a ray of light grazing Jupiter’s surface would be only 1/60th of 1”, and as, moreover, Jupiter has a dense atmosphere, it would not be practicable to verify Einstein’s theory by observations of stars in the neighbourhood of Jupiter. He wished to suggest an examination of the motion of the perihelion of the 5th Satellite of Jupiter.
