Statistical approach for analyzing the transient reliability of boiler System using CAS Mathematica

The focal point of this manuscript is to address the reliability analysis of Boiler unit in the Thermal power plant driven from coal. It is made up of six subunits laid out in series and parallel manner, alongwith some standby units. The system under consideration is modelled in transient state aided by Markov birth-death process and CAS Mathematica is deployed to solve the resulting complicated system of probabilistic equations arising out of 8 working states.

Differentiation of Mathematics Examination at Two Levels for Higher Secondary CBSE Students in India: Study on Students’ Satisfaction and Subject Related Perception

The Central Board of Secondary Examination announced that Class 10 students will have two levels of mathematics papers from 2020.The name suggested for the two examinations will be Maths- Standard which will be same kind of existing level of examination, and Maths - Basic, the standard that has been designed easier as compared Standard level. No proposed change in syllabus has been suggested, class room deliverables and internal assessment for both the levels of examination would remain the same. The standard level has been designed for the students who desire to pursue with mathematics at higher levels, while the basic level would be for the students who want to drop Mathematics after class ten and pursue other streams of Subjects. This study aims to find the satisfaction level of students with this format adopted for Mathematics and their attitude towards other subjects. The students were found to quite satisfy with the regulating so as teachers and parents. The satisfaction level was found to be quite high among all stake holders as this was found to be facilitating students in their interest areas for pursuing higher studies rather them making them burdened and stressed during Higher Secondary struggling with Mathematics.

This study has been undertaken to examine the extent to which the influence is exerted by children varies across (i) sub-decisions in family buying decisions; and (ii) child and family product in Indian context. Purposeful sampling was used for the selection of information-rich cases to permit inquiry into and understanding of the phenomenon understudy in depth. A sample consisting of 200 children residing in rural and urban areas of Delhi, capital of India was selected for this study. Based on their demographics, the final sample is believed to be representative of the population. The measuring instrument used is a structured questionnaire, guided by the research objectives and literature review. Children’s influence across family buying sub-decisions was measured by using a modified version of six-item scale developed by Talpade and Talpade (1995). The primary data are analyzed and interpreted with the help of statistical tools such as means, standard deviation, t-test, and ANOVA by using SPSS (version 16). Descriptive analysis has also been used to support the results of statistical analysis. The analysis results clearly show that Indian children exert (i) influence in family buying sub-decisions, (ii) this influence varies across sub-decisions and type of product, and (iii) influence for child product is higher than for the family product.

Abuse of Dominant Position by Google LLC – A Case Analysis

Abuse of dominant position is an imperative to protect the Indian markets from the enterprises within and outside the country. The competition Act, 2002 is a superior legislation that comprehensively defined the ambit of dominant position. We find that there are frequent instances of circumventing the various provisions of the Competition Act, 2002 thereby defeating the very aim of prevention of anti-competitive practices being practices by the firms and to maintain a fair competition and to regulate market control. We present the case of Google LLC, a technology company which has misused its dominant position and distorted market. We also highlight the consequences of legal proceedings in India and some instances in EU. Even though the practices of such abuses reduce the frequency of offences, the new forms emerge. We suggest that the legislation must be dynamic enough to handle these occurrences if true benefit of legislation is to be realised.
